Hello, All!

After a very long delay, I have finally been able to update my AlmostTI emulator for Android:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...id=com.fms.ati

This app effectively turns your phone into one of TI's graphing calculators, such as TI-83, TI-84, TI-85, TI-86, or others. Note that you still need an original firmware ROM, dumped from a real TI calculator that you own. The new AlmostTI 3.0 release comes with the following changes:

ALL CHANGES:
* Fixed some TI-83 ROMs erroneously recognized as TI-82 STATS.
* App now requires Android 4.1+ (Jelly Bean) to run.
* Switched to Firebase for reporting.
* Switched to Gradle 5.6.

With the build process restored, I am planning to improve AlmostTI more often, hopefully adding support for TI-84+ color model, TiLink, and other things.

Enjoy!

Hello, All!

I've released a new version of my TI graphing calcs emulator, AlmostTI 3.0.1, this morning:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...id=com.fms.ati

For this release, I had to refactor the app to comply with Google's latest ban on file I/O in Android 10+ devices. The app will now access all files via Secure Access Framework, as required by Google. You might need to give it permission to access your device storage. If you see any issues with the app, please, email me about them, or report them via support group:

https://groups.google.com/g/emul8

Also, AlmostTI is on $2.99 sale at Google Play until next Tuesday. This is 30% below its regular price. See below for all the changes in the new release.

ALL CHANGES:
* Refactored app to comply with Google's latest ban on file I/O.
* On Android 10+, all file access is now done via content providers.
* Content is copied to a temporary folder for use, changes moved back on exit.
* You may have to give app separate permission to read each storage location.
* Please, report any found problems to the support group or email me directly.
* Switched to Android-29 SDK.
* Rounded legacy icon corners.

Have fun!

Hello, All!

I've updated my TI graphing calcs emulator, AlmostTI, to version 3.0.3:

This update fixes a bunch of issues found in the last week's release. The on-screen calculator buttons layout has been fixed.
