LG Optimus Gt540 Apps and games compatability

[Guest soulclaimed]

Hey guys and gals, I just thought it would be cool to add this onto here, I originally put it up on androidfourms.com but thought it may be better here ;)

Tested on android 1.6

Hey guys and gals although I already posted part of this on another thread I thought I'd create a thread dedicated to games and apps and their compatability. I will update when I try new games and apps, and if anybody would like to add their favourites or recomendations then that would be awesome. Also please correct me if im wrong some may not install due to memory.

no 2.1 yet but theres still some cool stuff we can use and maybe just maybe the non working may work with 2.1

I CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ADVERSE REACTION OR MOBILE PHONE ISSUES FROM USING THESE APPS

games that didnt work

nova (wish it did work check out videos on youtube looks awesome)

ModernCombat: (as bove)

Dungeon Hunter

hero of sparta

welcome to hell

games that did

monopoly here and now

gangstar 2

winds of steel

toon warz (3d shooter game, controls are difficult but work)

guitar hero world tour

raging thunder2

mystique chapter 3 3d horror game with lots of suspense

zenonia

tiger woods pga tour golf

spider man toxic city

avatar

Wave blazer

ANGRY BIRDS LITE BETA (sometimes forced close when starting)

prince of persia

poke a mole

spore (addictive game)

bejeweled

baseball superstars

Asphault 3d streetrules is sketchy may just be where i got it from but the graphics were very glitchy

maybe with the 2.1 upgrade (if that ever happens) the others will be available

speedforge wont work, it loads fine but there is no button for acceleration

i will edit this from time to time with the games i've tried

speedforge demo has accelerometer acceleration and not button controlled so there may be a useable full version out there

APPS

If you really want to pimp out your phone or just have a bit of fun check out these apps.

PandaHome this is awesome when u know how to use it, basically its another home screen besides the built in android and lg ones and theres a number of themes available on android market, adds menu bars touch effects nicer icons and more

Ebuddy msn facebook chat, and more in one app

Astro file manager better file management system with search and bluetooth sending functions

MyPlayer Uk BBC Iplayer app

GVBA gameboy advanced emulator

quick settings switch between mobile internet and wifi options easily

Task Killer close apps running in the background to free up some ram

Fatty Booth take pictures of your friends and see what they would look like if they were mahoosive

Rare black wallpapers probably the coolest simple wallpapers I have seen.

If its the case you don't know how to install them on your phone.. here's how:

You have one of 2 options.

1. Install it from the microsd card.

You will need a file explorer and one of the many apk installers available in the market, "Fast APP Install" works just fine... navigate to where you'd have copied the apk on your phone and single click it (if nothing happens try long clicking it till the menu pops up) and the app/game should be installed on your phone.

2. Download the app/game in one of the various android markets out there: Android Market, Blapk Market, ADVERTISING SPAM, SlideMe, AndAppStore to name a few. You could always just do a search for "Market" within the Android Market and it should bring up a few as well.

BTW thanks to the OP for posting your findings.
