It's good to hear that the rotation problems seem to be fixed! I didn't know that I could keep the the screen static so it didn't rotate. I know this can be done in Symbian 5th edition by adding a JAD attribute.
I am considering to change another thing in the app before I release it. One person has said that the double buffering in the "Polar lotus" and "Hypnotic Mandala" visuals don't seem to work. I have described this problem in this thread: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/6ef594df0f10df0e/6605a4aebd844bb1?lnk=gst&q=Why+does+my+polygon+animation+flicker#6605a4aebd844bb1 Do you think that I should fix this, so the double buffering works better on "Polar lotus" and "Hypnotic Mandala"? If so, do you have any idea how I can do this? On 4 Dec, 07:15, Yahel <[email protected]> wrote: > Good for you. > > Just so you know I tested yourappextensively on bothmynexus one > andmyHtc Hero.
