UK sky sports live app - Desire HD Themes and Apps

Is There a app that allows you to watch sky sports live. My mate has a iPhone 4 and I have to say the sky sports live app on it is superb quality. Watched some of the football today and the picture quality was amazing

Nope. I wish there was ...

i can get it through t mobile but the picture quality is rubbish even with a very strong signal, the iphone 4 pic quality i have seen is nothing short of stunning

you can watch it straight from the browser

I thought you needed silverlight to watch it ?

Wish they would make a skyplayer app. I emailed them a little while ago to ask but had no response. I agree the iphone app looks really good.

Premier league app with push goal updates.

What's the best app for this?

I quite like to use Soccer Livescores or Google's Scoreboard
I use Fot Mob its free.
I use ... http://www.appbrain.com/app/fotmob-6-0-live-soccer/com.mobilefootie.fotmobx ... but not sure if it *pushes* goals. The score does update reasonably quickly when I've tested things out (been looking at the Beeb sport website and checked against Fotmob on the phone). But then I'm really just looking for results rather than instant goal updates.

I want updates with sound also.

With fotmob dose it only poll when you select the speaker icon in live match. Don't want it to be doing in it the background for games I am not interested in?

I use footmob aka soccer scores as well.
As far as I can tell it only notifies for the teams you set a favourites.
EDIT: er correction. There is an icon next to each game which you just click to set live scoring notifications on.
Football push scores pro is what I use. It is brilliant and has never let me down.

Video chat

I did a search and foumd nothing for the D3, so can someone recommend a good video chat app? I tried Qik Video but it kept FC, and I would like a recommendation. Thanks!

VTok allows you to video chat through Google Talk. Fring works for the Droid 3 as well.
My wife and I use Tango between her iPhone 4 and my Droid 3. Quality is mediocre, but it works.

I got tango. It works, but as you said the quality is a little lacking. No worries, though. I really only need it when my husband is out of town. Thanks!

Fring seems to be the best one so far for me. 3g is medicore at best, but works slightly better on wifi
video chat with paltalk mobile
You can try paltalk mobile. visit paltalk.com from your mobile browser and it should direct you to the android download page, or you can get it from the android market by searching for paltalk.
DISCLAIMER: I work for them so please don't get mad, the video is a subscription service, although we are adding 'super IM' soon wihch will allow for up to 10 users in your video chat for free. The subscription service is for the open chat rooms and costs 60 bucks a year.
We are in testing now so it may be a bit buggy, but it does allow for multiple videos at once in open groups. Stay tuned for the super IM release which as I said earlier will have free video for private conversations.
Warning! - paltalk does have 'adult' activity in some chat rooms so this is not an app for kids or anyone under the age of 18. It's not a smut site, but there is an adult category (one of many many categories)
I have a droid 3 and on my 3g connection the video is FAST!
To be honest this app was developed for our current users and subscribers, but if you are seeking a pretty amazing video chat app that is still a bit early in development you may want to give it a try.
You do NOT have to pay anything if you don't want to.

Share some good video apps

I thought would start this post since I didn't see one where people could some of there favorite video apps that don't come stock on the N7. Her is my list:
1. Netflix - pretty good app and greatest availability of streaming movies you will find from a monthly service.
2. Xfinity Player: Nice updates to the UI for 7 inch tablets and really good for catching up on old episodes of Spartacus.
3. Crunchyroll: The premiere app for watching animes that are subbed and best of all they have a free option that works over Wi-Fi. Doesn't work over Bluetooth tethering, but ICS built in Wi-Fi tethering is just fine if you don't mind the ads.
4. HomeDia: A nice free app that allows you to stream videos on your home network. I paired mine up with plex media server since you have to pay for tversity and it has worked well. If it doesn't play a video just use a third video player app like rockplayer.
5. Dailymotion: To be honest the only reason I use this app is to catch up with subbed anime episodes of OnePiece, outside of that nothing really else for me.
The good thing about these apps are they are free to download and numbers 1, 2, and 5 have apps for the Xbox 360. Well those are mine, so what are yours?

Crackle has some good free movies and tv shows. I also like to browse vimeo using the app, there are lots of cool videos on there.
If you like to watch current TV DROID TV Primetime actually works very well on the N7. There are quite a few free shows but for @$9 for three months you can get shows like Game of Thrones, Mad Men, Greys Anatomy, and dozens of others. I have used it for over a year on my DROID X and it sizes up really well to the 7inch for factor.

Are you doing this on a N7?
I had problems with it on my N7 in that I couldn't get it to lower/hide the info when the video was playing. Unless I am missing something .... On my phone it worked just fine.
UPDATE
Now if this isn't stupid on my part..... if you touch the video when it is playing, a icon shows on the bottom left to make it Full Screen... thought I had tried everything...

Thanks I didnt know that Crackle would work with the N7 unless I installed flash. So far it looks pretty good, I just dont like how the UI doesn't work that well in portrait mode. Hey that's what updates are for.

When I checked out veetle in the play store for some reason it said it was not compatible with the N7. Still looks pretty good though.

The Nexus 10 Arcade

Greetings XDA! I have been a follower of XDA for a long time, but this is happens to be my first post, so I figured to commemorate it, I would share V1.0 of my Nexus 10 Arcade machine using the Icade unit! The unit has been given a massive cosmetic overall with brand new custom artwork, and will soon feature LED backlight in V2. Hope you guys enjoy it and it's good to be here! :laugh:
Since I cannot post a video link quite yet, simply type "The Nexus Arcade" in the Youtube search engine and enjoy!
Looks nice!
Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUSQ99tvs1E
This is too awesome! Now I'm gonna have dreams about it
Where can I order mine and how much does it cost?

T was an awesome project for me. Im looking forward to lighting this thing up! After that, I will be installing a built-in Bluetooth speaker to berf up the core sound quality.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Its hard to say...
Logistically?
The icade unit cost me $30 on Ebay, and I got a deal.
The vinyl stickers cost me $35.
The LEDs cost me $30.
Thinkgeek offers them for $100, but I would try Amazon or ebay.

Dude that is sweet, nice job. Do the controls actually work? How are they connected?
The controls work perfectly. They are connected via Bluetooth. Thats why it works with the android tabs and the ipads.

Nice!
Again, awesome job. What games are you running on it? I love the classic style arcade games.
Over 2000 games, but some of my favorites are:
Asteroids
Galaga
Pac-Man
Street Fighter II-III
PONG
Frogger
Donkey Kong
Marvel VS Capcom
DOOM
TRON
Metal Slug
Darkstalkers
Fatal Fury
And tons More!
To see V2, search for "The Nexus Arcade V2 (Nexus 10)" in the YouTube search engine

I built a full size arcade cabinet that runs MAME - it's a lot of fun. I'd love to get MAME running on my Nexus 10, but I haven't found a version that works well full screen.
What software are you using?
Also, if anyone is interested, I ripped some sounds from Galaga (ringtone & notification) - almost guarantees your phone will sound unique.
Its running MAME 0.139. It gets the job done.
See version 2 of the device in the link above.

Looks great!
I realized my problem with Mame4Droid Reloaded was that I was using incompatible ROMs. I found some ROMs that were the right version.
If you're not using Mame4Droid Reloaded, what emulator are you using?
Text removed form original post:
Any chance you could send me a link to the version of MAME your using? I've tried mame4droid (can't get full screen) and mame4droid reloaded (can't get most of my ROMs to work). I was hoping to find a fairly simple solution that would let me use my existing Roms full screen.

It is running Mame4Droid Reloaded. 0.139 is the rom version. I also use Final Burn Alpha for some of the CPS-based games like Street Fighter III

This has become quite a time hog...
Mame4Droid Reloaded. 0.139 is running great. I think I might pick up a PS3 controller - seems to be the best option for a universal controller. I don't need to go the iCade route for a controller since I've already got a full size cabinet.
Researching and finding newer versions (0.139u1 compatible) of all my favorite ROMs has made me want to update my cabinet to run the same version as my tablet. I forgot how much fun messing with MAME & various front ends can be - and how quickly a lot of time can be spent.
Anyone know of an inexpensive bluetooth controller with a trackball? I so want to play my favorite arcade game ever, Marble Madness, and was disappointed to learn that MAME4droid doesn't support the Nexus 10 accelerometer. Actually, it does support it but only for left/right (driving) controls.
Good luck finding a trackball gamepad in general... FPS players have been asking for this for a few years now lol... You might be able to use a trackball mouse or keyboard though
This is awesome!

How to show off 1080p

What's the best way to show off the 1080p display? And videos or movies or perhaps any games?

Maybe download the 3Dmark benchmark app? It's pretty!
Or load this up in HD: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bEtJgnd86M

I think the best way is to go to the same website on their non-1080p phone and zoom in and out on text to show how much smoother it looks on yours at all the different sizes. Then watch a video (timescapes posted above is an excellent one to use, and has the advantage of being excellent for showing off the speakers as well) on both phones so they can see how much better yours looks.
