Explanation of permissions:
* Your location (fine GPS location): Used to get nearby businesses to battle in.
* Network communication (full internet access, view network state): Used to communicate with our servers to deliver game content and save your progress. Also used to get your network speed for video streaming.
* Phone calls (read phone state and identity): Used to uniquely identify your device for analytics purposes.
* System tools (retrieve running applications, send sticky broadcast): Used to workaround an Android OS bug where opening DJ Rivals from the Market app or Package Installer causes multiple instances of the game to run. Other running applications are never stored or used. Sticky broadcast is used to update the in-game HUD.

Note for Android OS 2.3.3 users: There is an Android OS bug which may cause UI blackouts and unexpected game restarts. We apologize, and hope to have it resolved soon.

Once you create your avataremdash and the game gives you a good variety of options thereemdash you ll set off on your quest to become the strongest DJ around. Or something. The main idea is that you can go into any building in whatever city you re in and it will be housing several other DJs for you to engage in musical combat with. Your DJ Rivals, if you will. Selecting an opponent will take you to the rhythm battle sequence, which is easily the highlight of the game.

Here you ll take turns exchanging blows with your opponent. When it s your turn, you ll play a mini-game that has you tapping along to the beat of whatever song is playing. The better you do during this brief sequence, the more powerful your attack will become. And the first person to run out of their health points loses. As you gain experience and cash you ll be able to unlock new moves that become more complicated, but provide the opportunity to do even more damage.

The rhythm mechanic is fun, and becomes increasingly more challenging as you improve your move-set, but the main problem with DJ Rivals is that s all you really do. You win battles, earn experience, and then fight in harder battles. It s very repetitive and, to make matters worse, there s very little visual variety. Pretty much every city looks the same, so it doesn t even feel like you re really making progress and exploring the country as a super cool DJ soldier. The only place where there is some true variety is with the soundtrack, which deftly balances between hip-hop and dance music, with a number of different songs that all fit the game s theme very well.In addition to the rhythm component, DJ Rivals also has a number of features that are common to social games. There are quests to keep you on track, an energy mechanic that replenishes over time, items to collect, and premium content most easily accessed by paying real-world dollars.
DJ Rivals may look like a hip social/rhythm game hybrid, but in most ways it s simply beating the same old drum. The great combat mechanic is largely overshadowed by repetitive play and the lack of any real incentive to push forward. There's not much here to keep you playing in the long run, but it is fun while it lasts. But it ends up being a more forgettable one-hit wonder, instead of a smash hit.

App 2 SD: transfer your apps on the SD card

When you want to make a little space on the internal memoryof your phone, one of the first things to do is move your applications frommemory to the SD card in your smartphone. The problem is that it takes quite awhile since you have to do it manually, application by application. App 2 SDoffers your convenience.


The concept is simple and effective. App 2 SD willautomatically search all apps installed on your phone and you will sort theminto categories.
You navigate and from three different tabs:   "Movable" means that you can move apps to SD card    öabOn SD card"apps already installed on your SD card but you can once again back on thephone's internal memory    "Phoneonly" apps that can not be transferred to the SD card
Behind each tab, you will find is the list of apps inquestion, their number and, below, a gauge that tells you the place you haveleft on the internal memory or SD card.



App 2 SD is actually a graphical interface that refers youto the settings for each application. You just have to touch an app icon andselect the desired option: move the SD card or to internal memory of thesmartphone. Do not expect however to be able to change the location of thenative apps that are not transferable (such as Google Maps, Facebook or Gmail).App 2 SD does not allow it. Too bad.


You also have the ability to transfer multiple applicationsat once by pressing the "Menu" button on your phone. You can alsodelete all the files in the cache of your apps directly.
Finally, App 2 SD will notify you when the installation ofany new application if it can be moved to your SD card.


As for blame, not much to report on our side during ourtest. But looking at some comments on the Market, it is clear that theapplication does not appear to function as a blocker pub (like AdBlock) isinstalled. Then the updates of some apps, once transferred, would no longerwork. In this case, you can follow the advice of developers on their site here.I advise you rather at this point to reinstall the phone's internal memory theapplication before the update.
