Download offline Data (Map tiles, Voice guidance, POI library for Countries)

Hi all,

Finally got some spare time to share with you some importand Tips and Tricks:

How to download Map tiles easy:

01.First tap on the Map area until the window "Location" pops up (Image 01)

02.Tap on the "Location" window and scroll down the new menu window that appears (Images 02-03)

03.Push "Download map" (Image 03)

04.A new menu appears where you can specify the needed resolution of the map, this is displayed by Zoom levels (Image 04). Tap download and wait until the map tile are being downloaded.

Advice: To download bigger map areas, zoom out the map view and do the above steps.

Download offline data (Voice guidance, POI library for Countries etc.):

01.From the main menu of Osmand tap on "Settings"

02.Then tap on "Offline Data" (Image 05)

03.A new window is displayed (Offline Data manager). There you can see what types of offline packages you already have, how much free space you have etc.

Tap on "Download" (Image 06)

04.On the new window you have the freedom to type in the desired Country and all the available Data for it is displayed below in the list (Vector map,Voice,Points Of Interests ...). Mark the data you want to download.

Daaaamn. Bought it months ago :-)

So this is newer that market version? Screenshots has 0.70 and version on market is .69?
[Android Apps and Games] motodroidfreak:
You said its opensource? Can i get a link to it?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] raymond_p:
No problem. Sent you a PM
[Android Apps and Games] raymond_p:
Thank you "jsomby" for supporting the project by having bought the App from the Market.

This is a pre-version, not quite final for the market. Currently there is no change at all between 0.6.9 beta and 0.7.0 alpha, it is an internal naming procedure.

Best regards

Love the app. It does a much better job of showing map details when zoomed out than Navfree. The one issue I am having is it constantly says rerouting when I am driving straight down the current rout. Sometime every 30 seconds. Any way to fix this?

I have the latest manual nooter installed but when I go into the Nook reader, it won't let me download my bought books. Only the demo books download. Anyone know of this bug and is there a fix?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobstro:
What version of ManualNooter did you use exactly? That sounds like one of the symptoms of using a version for 1.3 on 1.4.1. You may also find that you can't install apks, or from either the Android Market or Amazon App Store.

[Verizon Droid Charge] themobilelinks:
So i bought this rooted droid charge a couple of month ago from Craigslist.

It's having a lot of issues. sometimes when i make phone calls, it will just close. When in Google Maps, it crashes.

Recently, verizon released the gingerbread upgrade. but i am unable to get it because i am rooted.

I am on 2.3.4. See attached.

Can someone help me get to the latest and greatest firmware to resolve all these issues.

Also the phone is very very slow. I am so sick and tired of this phone.

thank you so much for your help.
[Verizon Droid Charge] bluevolume:
You have a couple choices. If you want any kind of help from Verizon you'll need to go back to stock. The best way (that I know of) to do this is to flash the stock EE4 build, and then let the phone update itself to EP4. If there is actually something wrong with the phone, you have a good chance of getting a free replacement phone from Verizon even though you didn't buy it direct.

EE4: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1172182&highlight=stock

How to use Odin: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1160580

If you want to upgrade and stay on a rooted/tweaked build, go here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1365376

My strong suggestion is that you go back to stock, and see if it solves your problems. The EP4 build is really nice; probably the best stock build I've seen for any Verizon phone yet. If that is working for you, its still fairly easy to root & CWM that build so you can extend the capabilities a bit. Good luck!
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
EP1F is quite old and was not a stable release. I'd recommend this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1406951

It's a debloated and nicely themed stock based ROM with a lot of tweaks applied. It's really quick...by far the smoothest ROM I've used on this phone. If you use the Odin with the kernel, you will get the latest radios and the latest kernel. This is based on the same OS version that Verizon/Samsung is currently pushing out.
[Verizon Droid Charge] themobilelinks:
Thanks for your reply.

I have talked to verizon and was told I couldn't get a replacement if I didn't get the phone from them directly.

the reason I would want to stay rooted is because i want the free tethering, but the wi-fi tether app doesn't work too well recently so I was using pdanet, which is no rooting required.

Do you know if I stay rooted and get the upgraded as suggested by you, the wi-fi tethering works?

At this point, I would really just want the phone to work. so I am really debating between stock or rooted.
[Verizon Droid Charge] themobilelinks:
Thanks, I would probably go for this "[Ep4D][Rom][Cwm][Odin]TweakStock v1.0"

But looking from the instructions, I am very confused. I am new to this ODIN thingy.

I guess what I am asking if step by step.

Where do I get ODIN software? what is "CWM"?

There are so many rom links, I don't know which one to pick, it's like a 3rd world language to me... :(
[Verizon Droid Charge] bluevolume:
Verizon will replace it with a refurb, I've done it before with phones I've bought off Craigslist. The phone is a Verizon product, and regardless of where you got it , it was originally purchased from them. The tech you talked to was just giving you their uneducated opinion.
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
Try this link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1160580

It has download links to Odin and instructions on how to use it. Odin is a low level flash utility for Samsung phones. The key thing to keep in mind is that you should only use the PDA button and never the PHONE button. You can also use the PIT button if you have the PIT file, but you can generally leave it alone unless instructed to use it.

CWM is a custom recovery. It is flashed in Odin. You can think of it as a higher level flash utility that lives on your phone. You can do most of what you can do with Odin with it, but you generally won't see radios flashable in it (with some exception), and you don't have to connect to your computer to use it. Generally, I use Odin to get to the latest base OS with radios, and then from there, you can use CWM to flash between roms without a computer. CWM also lets you do data and cache wipes, full phone backups, and a few other things from your phone.

You can get CWM here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1112804
[Verizon Droid Charge] themobilelinks:
Oh i see. there are two options to load the custom rom. I will try out the ODIN. and will report back.

BTW, do you guys use free wi-fi tethering? does it work well?
[Verizon Droid Charge] andrewjt19:
Theres been a release of the new ginger bread in odin format. Just flash that and use terminal to unroot.
[Verizon Droid Charge] themobilelinks:
just loaded "TweakStock v1.0 + experimental repacked EP4D kernel"

already feeling better :)

how do i get free wi-fi tether? do you have a link?

thanks.
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
People (including me) have had the best luck with this: http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...tail?name=wifi_tether_v3_0-pre12.apk&can=4&q=

After you install it, immediately reboot. After it reboots, run the app and in settings, Change Device-Profile to Samsung Fascinate, and Change Setup-Method to Softap for Samsung (master).
[Verizon Droid Charge] KarateExplosion6:
^^^THIS.

Even though you'll see newer versions of the WiFi Tether app, use the link that shrike1978 has posted. it's the "pre12" version and works best for the Charge hands down.
[Verizon Droid Charge] themobilelinks:
I forgot to backup my data, what do you guys use to back up and restore when trying out new ROM?

Also, the power control widget doesn't work anymore, it's a blank bar with 5 slots, but nothing shown..
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
I use Titanium Backup. It's one of the apps that should pretty much be in every rooter's toolbox. The free version lets you batch backup apps and data, but you have to restore one at a time in interactive mode. The pay version adds the ability to batch restore everything in an automatic mode. Some people like My Backup Pro, but I never got it to work right.

I don't use power control, so that's not something I can answer to from personal experience, but I think I've heard people talk about needing a reboot to work right once you add them.
[Verizon Droid Charge] adrenaline_rush:
Yes thank you! Finally a configuration that doesn't need a restart of the phone to work the second time
[Verizon Droid Charge] themobilelinks:
Okay, wi-fi tethering works great. The power control also works after reboot.

I did purchased the Titanium Backup Pro prior to upgrade, and also did a backup. and now I reloaded the app, but unable to see the shortcut, nor open it.

does the backup go to the cloud? Titanium's servers or was it store in my micro sd card?

Thanks guy for the great advice.
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
TiBu stores the backup to SD. It should survive wipes and flashes unless you partition or wipe the card.
[Verizon Droid Charge] KarateExplosion6:
Not only that, but you're also pulling 4G speeds on tether. All other versions top out at 3G speed for whatever reason.

---------- Post added at 05:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:34 AM ----------

You can create a Dropbox account for free with 2GB of storage included. Then you can tell TiBU to sync with Dropbox. This way, if you do wipe your SD or if it corrupts or something, you only need to copy the TiBU folder back to the SD and all of your data is saved. This is how I ensure redundancy of my own backups.
[Verizon Droid Charge] themobilelinks:
Dropbox tip is great.

Do you guys already enable your LTE? for me, I turn it off most of time unless i browser the internet.

because i found that leaving LTE on drain the battery very fast.
[Verizon Droid Charge] KarateExplosion6:
You're right. You'll save a lot of battery by disabling LTE until you need to use it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] blueis300:
Damn I'm a fool , cant get wifi to work. Ok fixed lol. And I wont get a notice,right?
[Verizon Droid Charge] KarateExplosion6:
No one will be able to "guarantee" you won't get a notice. But, I can guarantee you that I have never received one nor have I heard about anyone else receiving one.
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
This tends to happen with some stock widgets when you use a new theme or launcher. If you see it just reboot.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Byron548:
For wifi tethering I use Open Garden. It's in the market for free and works really well for me (laptop, Xbox, ect)but it requires root access

Thanks for this topic, it's the best rom I've ever used.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ohshootrawr:
I've heard some comments, but what are the differences between these two phones?

processor and camera wise?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Braccoz:
screen/resolution and the keyboard

that's it.

oh, and mhl on the sensation
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ymmp:
MT4GS has a better camera, genius button, and optical trackpad. It's also heavier.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ohshootrawr:
Still haven't decided what to get. The weight is really the biggest turnoff for me for the mt4gs. I heard that ics has a zero second shutter lag or something? Since the sensation has ics in the bag, would that significantly improve the camera function?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
To the people complaining about the weight, do you really want your phone taken from you without your knowledge? The hardware keyboard, by the way, was one of the reasons why the G1 was originally marketed as an "iphone killer."

Sent via smoke signal.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ymmp:
I am pretty sure that it's not just the quicker shots that are better, but that so are the optics and programming. The only negative to the MT4GS fantastic camera is that it records audio poorly when taking video (although even that seems to be improved in custom ROMs).

As for the weight, I don't mind it much. I think it is a product of the keyboard, camera and build quality (the Amaze weighs almost as much and has the same camera).
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] psychedel!k:
The fact that it runs on dumbed down version of Sense to me is the biggest turn-off. There are efforts going on to port Sensation to MT4GS over at Rootzwiki, and to your question both camera and performance are being addressed.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] leoilios:
Well I had a 2 page comparison written down but my phone died, ill get back to you on this tomorrow. Wait until you read my post before you make any purchases ok? =) I'm going to bed

ICS Splashed 2.0 MT4GS
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] leoilios:
I would say get the mt4gs; again, wait for my post tomorrow for my list of reasons why.

ICS Splashed 2.0 MT4GS
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] leoilios:
both phones run on the same cpu/gpu. So even though the sensation does offer a higher res(qhd), the mt4gs will always have the capability to run more smoothly. So keep that in mind because both phones will eventually get ics.You might think that image quality is sacrificed with the lower resolution but the pixel size is very similar. Now that being said, let's talk about the camera.

The mt4gs offers the better camera hardware and software.once both phones have ics, I am happy knowing my camera hardware is one of the best on the market.

The hardware keyboard is not the best. It is quiet though, so its usable in class. Personally I go through phases of using the hardware keyboard and using the on screen keyboard in landscape. But it is nice to have the option for when you are drunk. The precision of the hardware keyboard is much more reliable on those nights =)

now as for the feel of the phone, I really do prefer the mt4gs, it is good to have some weight to your phone so it rests in your hand safe and well. The phone still manages to stay thin for having a hardware keyboard. Most other hardware keyboard phones are massive, especially comparing to the g2, photon, or mt3gs.

Anyways undeadk9 devs for this phone, not the sensation.

I am comfortable knowing the rom on my phone dominates =) as well as weekly updates/upgrades to his roms.

If you ever experience issues with his roms, they are fixed fast.

Both phones are future proof, so if you are comfortable sacrificing screen real estate for a better phone, get the mt4gs.

ICS Splashed 2.0 MT4GS
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ymmp:
Could you be more specific about what you mean by "dumbed down"?

As far as porting the Sensation ROM, while you get the benefit of HTC sync working now, you have to use the camera interface of Sensation and lose genius button (please correct me if I'm wrong)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ohshootrawr:
Well I've had the g1 for 2 years and the g2 for a bit over a year, and I've definately learned the ups and downs of the hardware keyboard. My biggest problem with hardware keyboard is that they've always managed to malfunction after a while. The g1 keyboard was glitchy as hell, that was a well known fact. I haven't started getting problems on the g2 until a few months ago. I have no idea what might have caused it, but pressing on a key would result in 2 or 3 extra letters, although I press the button with the same pressure and timing as the last. it's simply a hastle. I installed the swype for ics, and its accurate and quick, as far as software keyboards go. What I'm getting at is I don't want a bulkier phone if it means a smaller screen resolution and a possible future glitchy hardware keyboard.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] leoilios:
Well if your keyboard ever gets that problem, it can be warranteed, anyway I haven't had any issues with multiple letters printing out , all my keys work fine and upon the first try in pressing the button

I've had the phone since day 1 of its release

ICS Splashed 2.0 MT4GS
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ohshootrawr:
Thanks for bringing up the cpu, no one has yet xD question: if they run on the same cpu, why is it that the mt4gs can run more smoothly?

Second question: what exactly does the mt4gs offer in the camera that the sensation does not? Just looking at basic specs on google, I'm seeing an 8mp camera for both, although they do mention that the mt4gs has the better camera xD

I've handled the mt4gs before, and (coming from a g2 owner) I didn't really like the keyboard. I don't want more size for less functionality. The weight was likable, but again, more size for less functionality. In this case, id probably take the sensation with anything but a stock sw keyboard.

And I think the issue for the dev support for both phones is quantity over quality. The sensation has a ridiculous amount of roms but a questionable amount of roms that are actually GOOD. The mt4gs has a few roms to choose from, but from a dev that consistently produces quality work. I'm not exactly worried about this when considering a new phone, since ill probably ONLY be running ics and/or miui v4 (ty bootmanager :D). Seeing as how your phone doesn't have miui yet is the only turnoff in this department.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ohshootrawr:
Getting my phone warranted is still a hastle, no matter how you say it. How often do you use the keyboard though? I'm a pretty avid user, and its so far resulted in two jenky keyboards xP
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] leoilios:
I say the mt4gs has the capability of being smoother because the same cpu/gpu is rendering less pixels. if you play video games on a computer for example, and you lag at 2560x1600 you will get much better performance running the game at1280x800 resolution.

Both phones have 8mp cameras but the lens on the mt4gs is bigger, so it let's in more light. This will give you better performance in a darker situation, as well as more contrast overall. It says right on the back of the phone, 3.69mm for the lens (massive for a phone) and 1:2.2 which I believe is the viewing aspect ratio.

I could see your problem if you have a need for miui... Ics splashed 2.0 is exactly what I personally want from this phone. Light weight,

smooth,

no bugs,

oc@1.8ghz stable,

Maintains the mysense camera,

Maintains the mysense dialer and messenger for easily picking who you want to text or call via the dial pad, typing the name of the person and then long pressing them when they pop up.

All while making the rest of the phone aosp for google inc stability that everyone can enjoy=)

Hspa+ hack for mobile network speed

And last but not least, gpu ui rendering for a high frame rate experience

Whatever your choice, get the aftermarket 1900mah anker battery. My phone lasts a day and a half with moderate to heavy use, unless I'm playing games.
