Where do you guys go to get APKs? Is there a built in solution like Installous on iOS? Reps to be had.

Not a built in solution but a site. I cant post links yet but my buddy gets them from ht tp://w ww.apktops.com/

I dont use it so I can't really comment but it works for him.

Edit: BTW I dont recommend anyone use those types of ways to get paid apps, you never know what you get. I would stick to Android Market and Amazon Appstore even if you have to pay for apps.

This ^. That is one of the best sites I know for getting apks. As far as a built in solution, there is none as far as I am aware of. However installing an apk is so easy that a built in is not really necessary.

Just copy the apk to you SD card. Make sure you have 3rd party app installations checked in the settings of you phone. Find the apk using a file explorer app and hit install.

[LGeX]

Droid RAZR checking in. Best phone and service I've ever had. Now, about that ICS?

What happened to the old thread? Some Apple / iPhone fanboy mod decided to delete it?

[LUKEDEICHER]

By then there will be probably something better again come February by another company or a month later from Samsung.

I like old school RPG from Nintendo days. Would rather make actions based on replies than quick reflexes or touches with the characters on the phone screen.

Playing Symphony of Destruction now and reminds me of the Dragon Warrior/Final Fantasy days.

Very much worth the couple dollars so far spent even though I probably could have searched somewhere for free.

More than likely deleted/closed due to its size.

Many of the mods have droid phones, come to think of it, don't know any that have iphones or at least publicly say it.

[paulpfiction]

Anybody know if its possible to make a digital copy of a movie that comes with a blu Ray work on my nexus

[LUKEDEICHER]

I have used android snowfox converter on alot of my dvd's that I want to watch without streaming on the droid.

It takes a couple hours or more with the program to convert to the droid format.

Any multi-media player will read the output from the device.

It may be the long way around but at my work If I simply want to add a movie for the future and watch on droid, I let it convert overnight and in the morning just drag onto my sd card when needed or want to watch on a long trip.

Saw thread....
Saw Edmonton, AB

Only reason I liked ff was for sync but stock browser syncs with chrome now so I am back to stock + dolphin for downloading off mobilism.

Anyone else have a galaxy nexus? Any ICS apps that are really good? (Other then nova launcher)

[Howlitzer]

Yes, S2 is getting ICS in Q1 2012... but the nexus destroys it.

Just get the galaxy nexus, it works on all gsm networks. If your carrier doesn't have it get the S2 on a plan, sell it and buy the Nexus of kijiji

Np
Galaxy Nexus's are running for around $600 on kijiji right now (can probably get for closer to $550), and GS2's are going for $450 (just sold mine).
So considering contract prices for the two it should work out to roughly the same.

Your right, I just can't get into an RPG on my phone. Less than an hour into Zenonia and I'd had enough.

On a different note I found a decent game (strategy) which I've played for 4 hours today "Robo Defence"

[Strengthftw]

gonna keep my galaxy until it breaks or some truly cutting edge technology phone comes out

[ElPolloDelPopo]
