I would actually be interested in a kid friendly rom because I'm planning to get my baby sister an android phone soon. Probably not a gs2 though, lol... so a kid friendly rom for this phone wouldn't do me much good.

Try kid mode in the market. It's free and very good.

Why does a kid need a smartphone is my questuon

everything is pretty much kid friendly, its what you get from the market thats not. only thing is theming it..

I was thinking about this the other day. On computers not phones. I think what you gotta do is have a keylogger and the balls to confront the little ones about naughty or dangerous surfing.

She doesn't NEED one, but I wanna get her one cause she's turning out to be a little geek & I wanna encourage her.

No. No offence but I don't think this would be very popular. So what, whenever my kid asks to use my phone I do a nandroid and flash to a kid rom or iOS???? I don't thinks so.

Like I said earlier try kid mode from the market. It's kind of a launcher in a way. You set it up so that your kid only has access to certain apps. They can't make calls can't even run the browser unless you allow it. I have it on my phone and I love it.

Me babay. Make bebe romz, ¿k?

I was just looking for exactly that. For those that are wondering why a kid would need a smartphone etc., it's not the point. They wouldn't be using it as a smartphone. I have an old SGS1 that I don't see why I couldn't repurpose as a media-player device + for my daughter. An ipod would do the trick but 1) this thing would kick the pants off any ipod I've seen so far capabilities wise (16GB built in, microSD slot up to 32GB, bigger higher resolution screen, play whatever media format you put in it, etc.) and with voodoo sound even the sound quality is better, 2) it's not made by Apple, and 3) I've already got it. I will try the kid mode launcher another poster mentioned below but I think there could be a market for this judging by the amount of kiddie tablets etc. that are on the market now and way cheaper if you already have a device or can pick one up used. Will post back after trying the kid mode deal.

Sounds interesting. Maybe one that is baby proof. So that they can't mess things up like send unwanted messages or delete stuff or make calls. Not so I don't have to watch them but so that I don't have to keep taking it from them

Nova will accomplish all this stuff, or other apps. You just hide apps you don't want them using. Like market, system apps... Etc. The only issue would be browser. But I'm sure that could be dealt with also. And yeah.... If they are sharing the parents phone... What good would a safety rom be when I need my phone. And if it's their phone... It's simple to kid proof. My 5 year old has an s2 we didn't need anymore. It has Netflix, some games, some videos on it.... And just about every thing else is hidden. Never had an issue with her getting into things she shouldn't. As far as games that can lead you to market and purchases.... There's a password for purchases and generally I just get rid of those games.
Anyway.... No, the kids rom would never be made.... But really, once you kid proof your device... That's basically what you have. So there's no point.

Is anyone brave enough to drop 17 bucks on this new launcher? Apparantly it is as awesome as the videos released awhile back. Anybody have any thoughts on this? Im about to take the plunge and purchase it but would like to know if anybody else has tried it yet and feels that its worth it.

There isn't enough flashy effects or options that would ever have me drop $15+ on a launcher. To each their own. Most free or low priced launchers are plenty smooth with all the options I need or want.

I just used tsf for about ten minutes. I would definitely not pay what they are asking. Not only is the launcher overly complicating and a waste of ram, its overly sensitive.

i was just about to post asking about this when i saw this thread. is the epic able to handle it well?
it sounds like people are going by bad first impressions. the problem is i would be shocked if this thing didn't take awhile to adapt to. can you guys who tried it honestly say you would not come to love it once you adapt?
the functionality and looks seem amazing and i was shown the video by my friend who uses a bionic and he loves it. does it lag on the epic?
but yeah 17 bucks is steeeeep in a culture that doesn't like to pay for apps already.

For that much money id better like it right away now have to "adapt" to it. That's crazy expensive...
Sent from my SPH-D700

haha true but they show most of the features in the video so you should be going in knowing that you'll eventually be able to move everything around that fluidly, but will take a bit of getting used to. shouldn't be more than a few hours i'd imagine.
anyway i'm thinking of taking the plunge when i get home, just wondering if those who tried it got bad lag or anything on our dated phones

It actually runs just as the video does, I dnt dislike it but its just extremely complicated. Def not worth 17 bones, but having aquired it *cough* thru alternative means *cough* I can say it is a very pretty launcher.

Man, I've been wanting this Launcher for 2 months, and its 17 bucks? Forget it.

Heh. My GF loved the SPB launcher, but i finally converted her to ADW. Might sneak her over to GO Launcher next update.
Still, I felt $15 was to much, but $17 is just an absurd amount for just a launcher.
This Epic post was brought to you via Tapatalk

Been using this for a few days. I like it and its nice eye candy but... definitely NOT worth $17. Honestly, no launcher is.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

the most ive EVER paid for a launcher is nova launcher prime...and that was only 4 bucks. 17 bucks?? for a phone app?? ONLY if i was rich... or maybe if i had a really nice tablet or something, but not on my epic. cm9 with nova works perfect for me. i wshould look at this video tho, now im curious to what a 17 dollar launcher looks like. anybody find it on 4shared mobile yet?? :x

unfortunately this is a terrible launcher.
It's unintuitive
Features that one might look for aren't there.
Memory hog
this are some of the falling points of the launcher, but that doesn't make it bad enough.
There is no free version of this launcher, no way to give it a test drive before you get down and dirty with it.
You MUST drop over 17 dollars on it!
WOAH!
Hold the phone a minute.
Seventeen dollars for a launcher, a homescreen.
What does it do for these 17 dollars of mine?
It launches other apps.
What else?
That's about it.
Well does it at least have some sort of cool effect that shows you're using a powerful phone capable of handling an app that costs seventeen bucks?
No. It has very simple graphics.
Why does it cost so much then?
Eh. Why not?
Bottom line:
Crappy app not worth the money.

It's real snappy yet it does cause a slight lag in other apps on mines. Although pricey...I still kinda like it.

I dont know if you guys know or if its illegal to mention it in this site but the ppl that arent willing to spend $17
Mod edit: should not use it!
It is against forum rules to mention pirate sites here. DO NOT DO SO AGAIN!

Interesting game

http://windowsphoneawesomeness.wordpress.com/2012/04/06/xbox-games-got-expensive/

well I think its the developer's choice to put the price and MP cannot challenge it. If you think its just too expensive, just don't buy it. as simple as that.

And it has got a review too in chinese which says "Garbage" LOL
I have a feeling its a mistake and they will fix it once they notice it. Or maybe he is to desperate

Lol, did u guys read the description? Unlimited version, the paid version has smiley faces. I think it's totally a joke

What sort of developer in his right mind would charge for a non-Xbox game - £218.99?
It's not even £2.99 !!

When Windows Phone first came out there was an app call "Im rich" for $999.99

Same with the iphone. It did nothing and a few people actually bought it. Then they complained that they bought it.

I feel so too! Paying that much money even on internet makes me a little skeptical let alone on a phone's marketplace!
Sad thing is unlike Android (which is full of malwares) we can't report such apps or atleast flag them. It might help if users could flag such apps for re-review by the marketplace team, might keep the place clearner.

Dark Meadow - Does anyone have a save file I can borrow?

Does anyone happen to have a save file that they can upload? I was on level 10 and then had to restore my device to stock/unroot/relock to return it. I did back the files and system data up using Titanium Backup but, when I restored my apps on my new N7, the save data wasn't there as I had thought it would be. Now I'm really dreading having to catch up to where I was. If you've played the game, you know how frustrating (but extremely entertaining at the same time) it can be to level up and move along in the story. Ten levels is a ton (or seemed to be a ton) in the game. So if anyone is around that point in the game and can upload a save file here, I'd really appreciate it. I don't know where else I could have posted this, so if the devs would like to move it somewhere, I wouldn't mind.

I had the game, I was over lvl 10, Already going for the boss, then a huge enemy kille dme in 3 hits, u bought new health kits and the app crashed so I had to start from the elevator again which is very hard, I don't know if you got to that part and I got so frustratec that i uninstalled the app.
Seems like you have to buy a whole bunch of items to have a decent game play or you will be doing more diying than anything else after you defeat the "white witch"

Apparently there's some cheats that give you a ton of money, so there are options out there. Personally, seeing as the game was free, I'm not going to complain about IAPs. I still find them annoying and would rather pay a set price for the game, but as long as it's free I'm not complaining. But I was just about the face the white witch with enough experience to possibly beat her. And now I might have to start over again. It sucks.

That is true, but the way I see it, you can pay about 7 bucks for a premium membership which gives your a bunch of coins, money, and other stuff that as you go further in the game you will notice you will need.
The game is designed to incited you to spend money on it, I spent like 2 bucks to buy medic kits but the game was just bugging too much in the pause menu and store menu and the further you go the harder the enemies to the point where it is almost impossible for not saying impossible to go from one level to the boss without using a bunch of bombs, or medic kits or very expensive accessories.
The game is good, the story line and graphs but I personally might not play it again unless I can get video out and use a controller which I doubt will even happend.

Overheating?

I am planning on buying this phone in the future for gaming purposes and was wondering if it was suffering from overheating. I heard many cases of the older MI 5 model overheating and was wondering if this new MI 5S model fixed this issue or is suffering from it just the same. I really don't want to be holding a burning brick when trying to play some games. I would appreciate as many answers as possible. Also for how long have you been using it at a time? Did you ever play games on it for a few hours continuously?

Wow really!? No one!
Just a comment saying it's cool as ice or not or something.

no overheating while playing game...(test on Marvel future fight game)
now im using mi 5s plus 6gb
previous phone S7 edge got heat although have cooling system but still got hot...
maybe chipset snapdragon 821 much better now.
best gameplay on this 5s plus.. n no more worry on battery drain anymore...

During benchmarking or gaming the phone just gets a bit warmer than usual. I haven't experienced any throttling after playing for over 30 minutes.

Thanks allot for the reply guys. More comments are still welcomed. This might help other people make a better decision as well.

I haven't noticed any overheating, however if you tell me which game you are trying to play, I may give it a go and provide feedback

I want to mainly use it for emulation but, if you can, try out some 3D demanding game for and hour or so and see how it goes. I heard this one is pretty demanding: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pixelherogames.xenos
If you have time please go ahead.
