looking forward to this.

could this be uploaded somewhere else. I seem to be having abit of trouble.

I have a problem.I can only start a skirmish mission, I can't select any specie in the mission selection screen. Any Idea of the solution to this problem?
thanks!!

did anyone try it

Pretty sweet little game, almost identical to the PC version, just smaller. It's around 46MB on the storage card. Runs great from the storage card, I have room on my HD but haven't copied it over to see if there is a gain or not. As er_arbe pointed out, you can't select a campaign (Terran, Zerg, or Protoss). I don't think they are included to be honest, with a 46MB footprint and only custom battles selected, a full blown campaign would probably push 100MB each if it followed the same story line and such as the PC version (SEE EDIT). Looks nice of the HD though, I'm really impressed to be honest, and I am a very picky person. Wish there was an option to keep the screen on when running the app, like in Garmin XT, kept having to tap the screen to keep it bright (like waiting for SCV's to collect minerals/gas).
It's such a good game in fact, I spent too much time tinkering with it my Command Center just got leveled by opposing Marines. Definitely worth the download for long periods of boredom. Copy only the "RAR StarCraft 0.18 WVGA Lite" folder from the ZIP file, looks like there is a MAC version in there too and it is not needed. I copied the contents to the root of my storage card in a new folder called "StarCraft". I am running the latest graphics tweaks and drivers that are on the forums here if that makes a difference to anyone.
--EDIT--
I take that back, the campaigns are included (I got curious snooped around the Data folder). May be a glitch on why they aren't selected, who knows. Also, performance is about the same on the device or on the SC, it seemed to load a little faster initially, but the game play is quick either way. I tried to load one of the included saved games, got hung loading.
--LAST EDIT, I SWEAR--
Campaings will not work, the "campaign.lua" file has no commands in it. Still a fun little game though with the instant action. Also, the included saved games are futher compressed, 1 and 4 uncompress fine, 2 and 3 are damaged. I haven't messed with trying to load a saved game.

Here are the original files from the original website (DepositFiles and LetItBit downloads) :

Will future support for VGA devices be available? Wow. My favorite game

Thanks, Howell! I searched a little last night (albeit briefly) for the original source. Downloading now, looks like the "heavy" version will be around 90MB uncompressed. Will report back for those interested.
Amnya, VGA downloads are available in Howell's first link.

Still no joy on the campaigns, "\scripts\menus\campaign.lua" is still void of commands. On the up side, sound and music are both included in the heavy version (and quite heavy, coming in at around 100MB). The extra size is worth it to me, I had to rely on my map to know when I was being attacked, now I can hear that familiar "Base is under attack" warning. All in all, still fun for the boring times, and sound makes it all the better. Maybe someone more familiar with LUA scripts could figure out a way to make campaigns selectable?

Any luck on this? I checked the russian site and there was nothing about the campaings in FAQ.

Ive downloaded the game and extracted it but it would not play for me...i have a touch pro on sprint did i have to adjust the resolution in order for it to play on the touch pro?

blue confusion
ok after extracting theres a file that contains a word doc but everytime i try to open the starcraft it states "maybe you need to specify another gamepath with '-d/path/to/datadir"? i feel like im askin stupid questions but need to change the location of the starcraft.exe somewhere else besides on my sd card? i need food for thought plz and thx in advance:

Sorry, Pharmako, I too searched for a clue as to why the campaign selection script is empty. I'm trying to find an older build number to see if maybe the campaign file got lost somewhere along the way, because in the historical posts I can find talking about the game, no one complains about it not working.
Possum, I didn't see a Word doc in the folders. I have "Data", "sc", and "scripts" folders, and two executables, "StarCraft [no sound]" and "StarCraft". Did you download from the link in the first post (WVGA) or go to the Russian site and choose either VGA or WVGA versions?
--EDIT--
I'm at a loss, I guess we're missing something very obvious or extremely well hidden. Any post I find about the game talks about how great it is, but no one complains about the lack of campaign ability, even though the campaigns have been written and included. I found a couple of older versions, and the LUA files all seem to be similar, so maybe I was wrong about the campaign menu file being the culprit. Perhaps the campaigns haven't been "unlocked" yet in order for the devs to improve overall gameplay first. All in all, it's still a great time waster. Games seem to save, but I haven't tried loading, like I said before, loading an included save locks the phone up tight. I guess I'll add that site to my "check every couple of months" list and see if there is an update.

A friend of mine gave me a while ago a link to original Starcraft CD... Will try to get it back and see if lua files can be copied from it

I decided to pop this on my Touch Pro 2 today, I couldn't get the full version working but the lite seems fine.
I've tried looking at the campaign.lua in a lua script editor and it doesn't load properly, aside from to point to a campaign file in the VGA pocketstarcraft folder, so there might be a working one there.
Might have another look later, when I don't have actual work to do hah

first post updated with vga version !

Can't wait for this. Gonna download immediately!!!

First post update with vga version !!!

Javascript Apps

The KIN's browser has javascript... and I've been playing a few javascript games on the phone and they work wonderfully. And it's really nice that you can pin the web pages on the apps screen. Some games require arrow keys that the kin lacks so games like tetris don't work properly. What i'm trying to get at is why don't we try to develop Javascript applications designed for use with this phone? Downside is you have to have a data plan or be on wifi to use the applications. But on the brightside it is a solution to the lack of apps on the phone.
Below are screenshots of some Javascript apps and the app menu.

or we can develope applications that download to the phone and dont require internet?

Personally, two things: no connection needed, saves.
The nvidia part is a monster if used right, and we have a qwerty to map as keys for random emulators (if the OS protection is broken).
And i will use javascript to do some jailbreak or something, like i stated and/or normal website ajax requests....

I see where you're coming from. It's just this phone is so locked down and we haven't been able to get around it... Possibly some time in the future we may. This is just a proposal for one of the possibilities. I also like the idea of jailbreaking through javascript.

Well, in theory if we could access the storage of the phone so we could read/write files to it... we could store the document on the phone and point the browser to it's location.

as far as i know, KIN's browser doesn't support urls starting with "ftp://" and "file://"
So, i see no way to access files through browser.

JavaScript App Development in Browser
I've experimented with developing hosted applications to run in the web browser (data connection required). Unfortunately, the double-tap delay introduces an irritating latency into the browser's response, making it seem slow. It waits for a second tap for zooming in, then responds to a single tap if the second tap doesn't occur within the wait period.
My experiment was to clone the Calculator application, adding scientific functions below the first step of buttons. When the phone is held horizontally, you have a basic calculator. Turning it vertically reveals the extended functions. Anyway, this latency causes the application's response to lag behind your input.
www .gregsearle.com/kin/scicalc.html (work in progress, somewhat flaky, you'll need to reassemble this link).

This is great, thanks for posting up this website. Does anyone know of other places to access these types of games?

The scientific calculator is finished as a proof-of-concept test, but the browser's tap lag makes it difficult to use. If there was a way to eliminate this lag, browser-based apps may be an effective solution.

I know this sounds noob-ish, but if this thing is based on WP7, then we can
a) get the Windows Phone 7 people to help us create a virus/something to crack the system.
b) Use the Chevron WP7 unlocker to hack the KIN. http://www.chevronwp7.com/
c) Connect an external harddrive/USB to this and see if we can get a connection. If we do, we can load up some sort of program like CWM to flash ROMS, edit the system, etc.
I know my ideas might be stupid, but doesn't hurt to try.

Correct. The phone was originally planned to be the first WP7 product, but due to time and other issues, they used a very customised build of Windows Mobile 6.

The phone will always attempt to cache the last page loaded so that you can access it offline for a while. However, some pages can't be cached.

Just a thought
Before anyone freaks out on me, know that I haven't done any programming in 10 years (so I'm pretty much useless there), but I can do research for things people have done in the past. I stumbled across a method to cache games called "cache manifest". It seems to have been used by iphone/ipad users a lot (not sure why since they have apps). However, I did add a couple of the games I found that use it to my "apps" page on my KIN and while they can't be played (I guess not a compatible Java), I was able to pull it up 10 hours later without WIFI and see the start screen and some counters and drop down menus. Wondering if anyone has any experience with this and can mention if it may help. If this is useless sorry for wasting every bodies time. I'll give a couple example below.

Who wants to try and get the S-Voice apk working?

The S-Voice apk was just posted in the S3 area http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26293573&posted=1#post26293573
I've installed it on my GNEX and it installed fine, made it through the tutorial as well, but it crashed when I tried to change the wake up phrase. Anyone care to give it a shot at making it work? I was going to start with something simple like editing build.prop but I can't seem to find any info on what the S3 is listed as.
It's now working perfectly!! Nex7er in the Note forum discovered if you install the app from system/app it works perfectly and I can confirm it runs perfect on the nexus!!!

I installed on latest CM9 nightly, no issues here. I installed it normally without being in system folder.
Edit:
Seems too clunky and pointless/useless. I can do all those commands by tapping the screen manually and I'll know they are correct rather than relying on a sketchy voice to text algorithm.

To each his own I guess. As a guy with only one arm I can state for me, it is MUCH easier and faster to say "new dental appointment, June 5th at 9am and then confirm with yes then it is to:
open apps, select calendar, click the month view tab, flip to June, click on the 5th, select "new" on the 9am tab and then type out dental, etc...

Running bamf/jamesbond and get a force close on it
Cleared data on it and reloaded... Skipped trying to set a new wakeup and it will go through to asking me "which app do you want to open "
Unfortunately no matter what I say she comes back with that same line.
Of course, restarted again and didn't bother to wake her up... And now commands work.

Tried and seems to work pretty good

Tried setting an alarm but couldn't save for some reason.

Same here can't save alarms...

Probably it's searching for SGS3 alarm app

Can confirm that adding appointments and checking weather work though.
Timer will work as far as countdown, but doesn't seem to hook into any vibrate/ring function to notify you when it finishes.

It took me a few tries, and I only got it to install by skipping the setup part of it. The apk claimed I already had s voice installed. And, when I went to remove it, because it crashed despite installing it from system/app, it only gave me the option to remove updates. I'm running stock ROM and kernel. Unfortunately, I don't see how to get to settings for it, so I'm stuck calling it "Hi Galaxy!"

Here is a copy of the APK if anyone wants it

Been using it for quite some time, actually. It's been called into Axiom roms for awhile now.

It's ok, kind of a novelty more than anything. I guess for people who have certain disabilities it can be a great tool, but for me I can't see much of a use for it. I can point and click faster.

If the alarm worked - it'd be fastest to set alarm that way.
Also, the timer would be nice if it actually did something when the countdown finished.
Little things like that I could see it handy for... plus for answers you'd look up on google, could be quicker to answer at times.

Installed it like any other apk. I am stock and not rooted. And it has worked tip top since the start

Works fine for me. More of a fun toy really. It even gives smart ass replys like siri.

After some digging I found that with the Galaxy Nexus at 4.0.4 is having issues because its based off of 4.0.3 Workaround is to install the app under system/apps instead of regular installer. I used root explorer and had R/W enabled placed the file and opened/installed from their.

Thats from some app you downloaded. I definitely don't have that. Did you download a VOIP app or messaging app? Verizon Pixel?

LOL nope I saw that as well.... Strange

I was looking at my file explorer and noticed this too.
Do you have any VR applications installed?
Do you have any SDK installed?
Do you dl music/ movies etc?
Any unknown sources downloaded?
Or visit sites like Bluelight/DMT nexus/pill reports/shroomery/ Stuff like that?
How about Skype?
Sorry this is literally a new pop up and im noticing alot of the questions about this have been posted recently. please answer as detailed and turthfully as possible

I do have vr camera installed. Not much else. I deleted the folder and file to see if they pop up again.

I had installed samsung ipolis at one time.

Anyone come up with any more information on this? Just came across it on my own phone today. Google search turns up a few other posts about it but no info on what it is. I am suspicious that it *might* be associated with the DirecTV app because I just downloaded it today and then happened to notice that folder in / with a last modified timestamp of today. Other than that I have nothing to go on.

I suspect it's some 3rd party tool that many different software vendors will use.
Kind of how like everyone uses Flash or Java for something or other.

After deleting, it was consistently recreated shortly after rebooting. Using this behavior and after much trial and error I found that if I disabled storage permissions for the Directv app it would not be recreated. I don't know yet if it has an adverse effect on the app to leave the permission disabled. I wonder if it is related to the app's commication with the receiver since many of the references to eyeball sdk when googled are related to messaging. Just a thought with no hard evidence.

About the file EYEBALLSDKLogs. I just got the Samsung S7 and also the Galaxy Tab E on promo deal, but my husband and I both have S5 Actives that we have used for a little over 2 years now. Best phones we've owned BTW! Any who, before downloading any apps to either one of the new ones, I of course played with them a couple of days to get used to the features and see what was new. Tab E is pretty much a big version of S7 phone. They both had this new file that stuck out like a sore thumb considering the name of the file is a bit funny, but this file hasn't ever been on our other devices and we had the different messaging apps, I had a couple VR apps but deleted Ayer a few days & this particular file has never shown up. I did notice the DIRECTTV App was already pre-installed on the S7 and Tab E so it's very likely that's were this file is coming from. I just don't understand why after using the Directtv App it shows the file size with 50mb instead of 00.0 before use, but no extensions to the file when I click on it. I did delete it but as soon as I opened the DirectTv app, Viola' it's back.

Had similar files on my stock LG tribute HD. Undoubtedly picked them up after getting greedy and down loading free cracked/nodded app not from playstore. Found this searching. Idk but it appears to be a p2p, remote client app. Have not checked Hybrid Analysis site for review yet but will.
*cannot post link as this is my first xda post. The site that has the developers description is slides hate.net eyeball-messenger-sdk-v100
Woukd like to hear input as this raises concerns and is suspicious in nature. Thanks

Hello, I just wanted to chime in and say thay I think it has something to do with the Directv app. The DVR portion in particular. I noticed when I tried viewing my dvr on the app, it had a quick view feature and it must have created that folder because I noticed mine after I was messing around with the Directv app.

Question Anyone else have problems with Chrome lately? Many multiple saved tabs are gone next time you launch? The sub-tab/grouped tabs feature gone?

What the title and poll say. Yesterday I noticed that the sub-tabs/grouped tabs (I forget what Google called them) feature was gone on my phone (where I had, for example, two separate XDA pages open in a group). All the tabs still existed but at a "root" level and there's no longer a way to group tabs together.
And today, I noticed that all the tabs I had open yesterday are now gone. Yes, I could go through history if I really needed them badly enough, but truthfully, without the grouped tabs feature, I don't want them all back as it would be a mess.
I can't find settings in Chrome regarding grouping or saving my previously opened tabs, although just now when I opened it, it at least had the tabs open that I had opened earlier today.
I'm on Chrome Android v96.0.4664.45. I'm not currently signed up for any beta versions of Google apps (other than the usual whole Google universe is constantly beta).
TIA

This is probly not relevant at all but, I only use Samsung browser on all mobiles it's THEE best browser in my opinion, once you turn on smooth scrolling via internet/flags it's amazing, everything Chrome has only better and smoother, plus full dark mode and better privacy, give it a try!

This is probly not relevant at all but, I only use Samsung browser on all mobiles it's THEE best browser in my opinion, once you turn on smooth scrolling via internet/flags it's amazing, everything Chrome has only better and smoother, plus full dark mode and better privacy, give it a try! F chrome lol

Thank you, but no thank you.
I've just noticed perhaps a new way of handling the grouped tabs in Chrome, but still sucks I lost what I had and how they were organized.

I haven't felt the need to fool with flags on mobile Chrome recently - I know I had just a little bit from time to time previously, so I can't really advise you much on that. The most recent flag I had fooled with was several months ago to enable Chrome Beta or Developer version to be able to display JPEG XL format images, which is the more widely adopted successor to FLIF (Free Lossless Image Format) and the same author is involved in both.
The flag was
Code:
chrome://flags/#enable-jxl
at the time on both mobile and desktop. I'm pretty sure that the feature is now in the stable Chrome channel, although last I checked, it wasn't enabled by default yet.
On desktop Chrome, there are at least one or two flags I switch but I don't think they apply or are necessary on mobile Chrome.
OT: A couple of years ago I switched to the Chromium-based Edge (I think Samsung's is Chromium-based, too, isn't it?), and I liked it quite well until a year and a half ago when they Microsoftified / Dumbified an aspect of the browser that drove me to quickly go back to Chrome (many folks complained that there wasn't an option to retain the old functionality while there were a few folks who insisted that the old way of doing things wasn't even necessary - similarly to how some people think that because they don't need something, that no one needs that thing and that the first people who need it are just wrong, but I digress.
The only place I still use Edge is on my work laptops since my work uses Google for everything, and therefore have Chrome's settings locked down so that I can't even easily have it re-open my last opened tabs after they force reboot my laptops overnight for updates. When I encounter the aspect of Edge that I can't stand, it still drives me nuts, but at least I can control other aspects I can't normally on my work machines.
