[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
I've been spending the past few days fleshing out the GL Maps API: my goal is to allow any developer to view, modify, or add content into the map. That's the approach Microsoft and Google have taken with their JavaScript/web clients, but neither of those run particularly well on a phone. And they're not 3D and accelerometer savvy either! So, I'm hoping that other bored engineers at XDA-Developers decide to write their own plug-ins and help make this a great application. :)

So, to foster that, I'm open sourcing the "standard" plug-ins I've written so far:

GPS and Google Gears Geolocation Plug-In:

This requires that Google Gears be installed on your phone. Download the CAB from http://dl.google.com/gears/current/gears-wince-opt.cab

Nav Sensor Plug-in

Seattle Metro Bus Tracker

Head over to my website for the download for both GL Maps and the SDK (including source code to the standard plugins).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] itsallsubliminal:
this progress is great already! got a quick gps lock and absolutely love the accelerometer lock!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Devileyezz:
Anyone know how this can be done for Toronto Subways in Canada?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] omniwolf:
nice, works well for me. i'm in australia, and it found me and i zoomed in and tilted to my hearts desire. it crashed after a while though.

keep it up!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] jamesd256:
Wow, another unbelievable app, things are really happening now.

Hey, this works on my Touch Pro, but it behaves funny.

The tiling seems to go wrong quite easily when tilting the device.

I would love to see a video of this working on a diamond, so I know what it looks like when working properly.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] gurkburk92:
Get it to work in Sweden please ^^

Btw it doesnt work for me.. Says: in swedish: Det går inte att hitta sidan. Kontrollera namnet och försök igen > Coudln't find the site. Check the name and try again, or something in english..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] liomojo:
guys do i have to install some other application to make this work.

for it starts but i see a base world map and thzts all, i cant zoom or do anything else i cana move this base map picture.

??????????????
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
Use the Nav wheel on your Diamond to zoom in and out. I have a significantly improved version working (can get directions, faster, more plugins) that I'll release probably within a week or so. I'm in the middle of doing a lot of the plumbing though, and will release it when it is closer to a usable product. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] amniberlin:
WOW this is just awesome! First time i tried to start, it crashed... but now it works just perfect :)

Thank you for this nice programme! =)

do you use this for the data on the seattle bus system?

http://tracker-map.metrokc.gov/tracker-map-launch.jsp

if so, would you be able to include more of the seattle area-possibly the UW area (bus numbers 68,372,71,72,73)?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] itsallsubliminal:
this was a super cool idea/concept/work-in-progress.... i hope you didn't quit on it bud!!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] i00:
this is good... i can't zoom in though :( ... and howcome busses dont work anywhere but Seattle...

I also hope you didnt quit on it...

I will give u coffee ($50 AUD) if you get it working well for australia :D

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] RikP:
very cool idea!

Just installed it but am getting a complete black screen. I'm in holland...

What could be wrong?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] brianb1998:
Im in az right now on business and everything seems to be working grs and tilting but i have one little problem there is no map. i had it working on my diamond but i upgraded to the pro and no map...any ideas
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Pitchb3nd:
Gl Maps also can't load the map on my diamond, I see a grey surface that reacts to your movements but no map at all.

I've tried with the device plugged to a pc, with wifi and with hsdpa and nothing. Previous version worked well btw.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] muzicman82:
Yeah, I too only see grey and black areas and the red dot. I just put it on my Sprint Touch Pro.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] abovelegit:
Im guessing this project has been abandoned?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] turt:
Well I guess the server is down or something, because it used to work for me but now it doesn't work anymore...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] itsallsubliminal:
he probably ran into some issues with it, hence why he released the sdk

i too wish this to be updated aswell... if i had any idea how to use an sdk, i would, but unfortunately i don't :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Pitchb3nd:
I think the great developer of this app has switched to Android development. Bad news for us, poor WM users :_(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
Sadly I don't have time to work on this project at the moment, but I may come back to it later! So I open sourced it:

http://www.koushikdutta.com/2008/12/gl-maps-goes-open-source.html
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NLS:
So what do you keep closed?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
I am working some really cool Android and Windows mobile stuff. Some I've blogged about, some I haven't. Almost everything I write is now open source; the closed source stuff, I can't talk about yet. But let's just say it would make Windows Mobile users very happy. :)

Incidentally, I am currently doing a new blog series about WindowlessControls, which is a UI development framework for Windows Mobile. It's probably worth checking out if you are a WM developer.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NLS:
there is a dll libGLES_CM in the program folder, although I have one such dll in my Windows folder (Touch Pro)...

how do I know which version is faster/newer/better? (I can see they are different)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] cybermaus:
OMG what a cool idea.

Pity it is currently not developed. Should anyone pick it up: On Touch HD I cannot zoom. I suspect on Diamond, zoom is with the round button, but the zooming from the menu (the only one working from Touch HD) does not work.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Aaron McCarthy:
I've got this on my touch pro and I can zoom (with the wheel) however when I get close to my city... well anywhere on the map for that matter... it's super blurry.. I cant really actually get in to street level view.

Does anyone else have this issue or know of a work around?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NLS:
Is there any progress with this at all?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] king12438:
that's great
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] adwinp:
Doesn't start.

The MapCache directory is created, then the app exits.

Tried replacing the Opengl_cm.dll version, to no avail.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] w1shmast3r:
looks awesome m8,

question: does the map create a cashe in order for the application to work offline also?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] zard:
will this work on the diamond 2?

when I launch it, I see a blank screen.

I tried installing goggle maps and this app on device and also storage card.

any help appreciated.

thank you.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] skilty:
i got the blank screen when i installed it to storage card, try installing it to main memory.

it seems to work but won't actually layer the map, i get a grey screen that moves via sensor and a red dot indicating my position but no map???

anyone help??
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Darkdreamers:
sorry to ask but will this app work in the uk?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] omniwolf:
i would call this app pretty much dead. just use the normal google maps app.

Hi,

I have unlocked the bootloader, waited 7 days and today I flashed the global Rom.

It looks like rom flashed without problems but now the tablet keeps booting to fastboot :( ?

Anyone knows how to fix it? Many thanks.

Kind regards,

Koen
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] pan_droid:
What miui version did you have before ?

How you flashed new version of miui ?

What miui version you flashed ?
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] kjonge:
Hi,

I fixed it I think.

I did a re-flash with Mi Flash with nabu_global_images_V12.5.8.0.RKXMIXM_20210925.0000.00_11.0_global_9235e47a6f

I got an error at the end, but still the tablet boots normally now.

So now I am on global rom, which is great :)
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] chaunc:
I've got the same error with nabu_global_images_V12.5.4.0.

And now, with your idea, I'm trying to fix that with image nabu_global_images_V12.5.8.0.

Hope it work.

Edit: opp, not work for me? Which version of MiFlash did you use? Could you give me the link of image??? Thanks
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] kjonge:
I downloaded the latest global rom here:

Download Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 Firmware ROM TWRP (nabu)

Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 Firmware (nabu) ⭐ Mi Pad 5 ROM ⭐ Mi Pad 5 Global ROM - EU ROM - TWRP - Fastboot ROM

mifirm.net

I used the mi unlock tool found here

Xiaomi Flash Tool 20210226 for Windows

Download the Official and Tested version of Xiaomi Flash Tool, i.e., Xiaomi Flash Tool 20210226, which allows you to Flash Stock Firmware on Xiaomi Devices.

xiaomiflashtool.com

I believe this is the latest version.

When started it ask to install the drivers.

Make sure you unpack the download ROM twice and point it to the unpacked folder in the tool.

I made sure I check the option "clean all" at the bottom.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] chaunc:
Amzaing.

Finaly, It worked!

Thanks alot
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] puleen:
Were you able to lock the bootloader or did you leave it unlocked?
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] xop1324:
Hello, if you have already fixed it, can you write here how did you do it? because I have the same problem I will be very grateful
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] chaunc:
In MiFlash program, you have 3 option: clean all, save user data and clean and relock bootloader.

1st time, I choice clean all, flash process said succesful but my pad reboot in recovery mode (not flash mode)

second time, i choice clean and relock bootloader, flash again, my pad reboot in nomal mode.

And now, it in looked bootloader but I can unlook anytime I want
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] puleen:
I have tried that, when I lock the bootloader I keep going into a screen, that I referenced here: https://xdaforums.com/t/global-rom-for-xiaomi-pad-5-nabu.4335839/post-85812295
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] chaunc:
You should try to re-unlock bootloader

Kopi Installer is a flashable installer script that is run in recovery/magisk mamager. with a copy of the installer you can make a flashable.zip into a magisk module or a regular flashable recovery.

Kopi installer has 4 install modes :

1. magisk = it will install as magisk module only

2. kopi = it will be installed as a normal flashable recovery (will be installed on the system, vendor)

3. auto = if magisk is installed it will be converted as a magisk module, otherwise it will be a normal flashable recovery

4. false = this is manual mode,it is not in copy/magisk module mode,you have to copy files to your own system

you can add magisk,copy,auto,false in typeinstall= in module.prop

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JigsawMobile:
could we mount /data to flash user app and user data ?

and flashed files are overlayed, we will lose flashed system data after wiping userdata, right ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Wahyu6070:
When installing the zip, use the /data partition if it can be read. If you wipe after installing the zip then all the files from the zip will be deleted too.

Hello Forum

i installed the NOBLEROM1.1_N9_S9_S9P on my galaxy 9 and it worked very well. since today i have a boot loop. 2 seconds after the start, the mobile phone restarts. I installed a backup. without success. as soon as I restore the "data" from the TWRP backup, the boot loop starts. does anyone have an idea how I can find and eliminate the error in "data"?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] lacanopée:
Today i wanted to install TWRP, so i unlocked the bootloader and flash :

- TWRP-3.5.1-guacamole-Nebrassy-3.img

it worked and then in TWRP i installed :

-wrp-installer-3.5.1_9-0-guacamole.zip​

but then it restart and now the phone is stuck with le logo of TWRP which is displayed 0,4sec, and disappears just after for 5sec, and then it reappears... I can turn off the phone but it imediatly reboot to twrp, and even if a do Volume up or down + Power button, it always brings me to twrp.

So i'm stuck in a twrp bootloop without access to fastboot or the system.

If someone has an idea i will be very glad.

Thanks

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] SNEEED:
So friend gave me his old ("verizon" unlocked) g960u (G960USQS9FUG2) I was attempting to install the g960u1 firmware onto it.

I don't see what ive done wrong exact, since its failing in odin. Despite the phone itself being fussy, ive seen people on here install g960u1 firmware onto so.

Steps taken

-Toggle usb debugging

-downloaded oden latest.

-downloaded samsung usb drivers

-downloaded G960U1UES9FUG2 firmware

-enter download mode

-input firmware files into odin

-start

<ID:0/008> Odin engine v(ID:3.1301)..

<ID:0/008> File analysis..

<ID:0/008> Total Binary size: 6988 M

<ID:0/008> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/008> Can't open the serial(COM) port.

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

Could it be the firmware type I downloaded? or did I simply over look something or what?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] spawnlives:
Firmware is ok. Assuming you using patch odin to flash firmware.

Failing at setup connection may be try some suggestion here

https://xdaforums.com/t/my-s9-will-...to-flash-stock-firmware.4006809/post-80972211

Also disconnect and connect phone after each attempt
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] SNEEED:
Odd connecting it initially would prompt it to come up in odin normally, everything is fine, but reconnecting it while in download mode prompts me with windows screaming at me. Unless you meant reconnect and boot into download mode once again.

But yes ive been trying different versions of odin in adminmode and no luck with that, all stops at stepupconnection

If I really cant get this to work I might just sell this phone lol
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] spawnlives:
Should not matter mode your in. When diconnecting leave for a couple seconds before connecting again.

Try rebooting pc

And what samsumg drivers version are you using
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] SNEEED:
Im currently using the latest off the site

https://developer.samsung.com/android-usb-driver
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] spawnlives:
You may have to try a different computer if you've try some of the other methods mention before

I did have problems on my laptop in failing to connect with odin, but was a few years ago and can't remember how i fixed it.

You can try installing this but no guarantee it will work.

Progress update

Borrowed a craptop from a friend, the firmware im using seems to not progress and stays at file analysis. I tried an older firmware for the hell of it which progresses more and stops at "Complete(Write) operation failed." im not too sure whats going on now.

edit: I got it working I guess I just assumed it wasn't working since it didnt act right away I was a bit impatient. Gave it 10mins and it started going.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] skimminstones:
Got my Sunny Yellow one delivered this morning so been playing with it most of the day. Initial impressions are very good, some are listed below. Feel free to list your own.

The fingerprint scanner was a little off but after an update came in i deleted my fingerprints and re-did them and its been fine ever since. Couple of times it hasnt worked but i think thats because the screen is so smooth/slippery that my thumb slipped on the screen as it was trying to read it.

I dont have a 5g plan or even 5g signal where i am to test but so far 4g speeds are exactly the same as my pixel 2xl and oppo reno 2 ive come from.

I dont really like having the "internet" tile, id prefer having them seperate the wifi and mobile data tab. Just seems strange to add a further click to enable/disable wifi when i want to instead of just hitting the tab.

On the home screen if you make a folder then the apps slightly overhang the edge of the circle which just looks odd to me, i wish they were all within the folder.

I wish there was an option of disabling the big clock on the lock screen. I have a picture of my partner on my lock screen and when picking up the phone id rather see her than her face covered by a huge clock

The phone got very hot when setting up and transferring apps/data from my old phone but has been fine since.

I love the screen and how smooth everything flows. I dont see any issue with brightness personally. Ill see how battery life performs over the coming days
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] ozzjim1:
Hollow screen sound is a bit strange

Nova launcher crashes which is a shame because I don't like the search bar forced at the bottom of the screen on the pixel launcher.

Camera is brilliant

Power button is in the wrong place and should be swapped with the volume buttons is.

Lack of screen protectors available to get delivered is frustrating but not Google's issue.

It's fast, smooth and had a great camera. The rest I am still get used to. Prefer it to my S21 ultra, maybe not loving it as much as my Mi 10 Pro.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 96carboard:
The camera hump on the back really exposes the glass to potential damage. If I were designing the thing, I'd make the entire back stick out higher than the camera glass, and fill in the space with more battery.

The rounded edge screen is pretty terrible. There are optical distortions along the sides. The radius of the edge should be reduced to around 1 mm.

A little more width on the screen would be nice. This is 71.5mm. Nexus 6 was 74, which was a lot nicer. 80 would be a dream.

A little bit of border around the screen would also be nice so you have somewhere to actually hold the thing. Function should be paramount, not form, and especially not goofy/ugly form like these have. A bit of border above the screen would make space to get the camera out of the screen instead of the ugly hole. I also hate the rounded corners on the screen. Software rounded corners are ok, because you can disable them, there is no reason to force it with paint on the inside surface of the glass.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] dimm0k:
feel the same way with filling up the space with more battery... but then you have ppl complaining about how fat the phone is
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] danw_oz:
Love it so far, so fast and fluid. As mentioned above it gets real hot, and was still discharging while using old pixel charger.

Camera is amazing the details captured are stunning.

Phone is very slippery to hold and would be easy to drop with the top weight of the camera hump. Tried to buy a case for grip and protection, and was told that they can until tomorrow because that was the day the phone was supposed to be delivered, but because of our crap postal service they sent a day early so that people would or should get them by that date

Real time translation works very well, even with the new update still seems a little buggy

Screen for me is fine for brightness I have high brightness mode widget and it is much brighter than the 4xl

I could buy pixel charger which I might take back because it doesn't seem to charge an faster.

My wireless car charger for the pixel 4xl charges this phone at about the same speed as the old wall charger, need to see if it throttles for heat though..
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] danw_oz:
I agree, but it also would be heavy
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] swieder711:
This is concerning "Nova launcher crashes which is a shame because I don't like the search bar forced at the bottom of the screen on the pixel launcher." Hopefully there will be an update to Nova soon.

All the negative feedback on the rounded edges are making me consider the Pixel 6 versus the Pro. I think the base RAM on the 6 is fine. Giving up the Zoom is tougher to consider.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 96carboard:
There as a day when heavy meant PREMIUM and light meant junk.

My laptop (lenovo), not even old, actually had some weights added into it to make it feel more substantial.

And so what if its a little heavier as long as it isn't burdensome. You can easily carry around several pounds without it being burdensome.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 96carboard:
If you were referring to the rounded CORNERS, there will be kind-of software solutions for the rounded corners. Right now you can run "wm size 1440x2890" to reduce the display area (persistently). This brings the display area past the camera hole and past the rounded corners. Now normally, there would be a system property available to adjust the corners, however this one has multi-radius corners which are set in a config for systemui, therefore will actually require a rebuild from source to fix, but once that is unset, it should have square corners.

However the side effect of course, will be a slightly smaller display area. Still wider than the non-Pro, but less than it is now. Not that you need all that height for any practical purpose.

And for that matter, you could use the same "wm size" command to reduce the display width to work around the rounded edges. "wm size 1300x3120" pulls the display area all the way into the flat part and eliminates the optical distortions. You could probably establish a better balance that lets it in just a little bit and probably gives the same width as the non-Pro.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mikemod:
Nova Launcher was crashing for me but it seemed to be a clock widget I had previously and it wasn't displaying it.

I deleted the widget and rebooted the phone and it has been perfect since and all day today.

My screen now looks like my 3XL only longer, faster, smoother :D
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] magooo:
I can't find a was to Turn off Always on Display. Ist ist me, or isn't there an option?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] ozzjim1:
Thanks for the tip on Nova, might rebuild my screen from scratch with it too ID the issue. The pixel launcher without some custom apps and grid sizes is a bit of a jarring experience. Search at the bottom is all wrong too.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] skimminstones:
settings, display, lock screen, turn off "always show time and info"
