Once, just once, I would like to see a discussion about a N1 app without the friggin iPhone coming up. I am mightily sick of the iPhone. I do not have one, I am not interested in one, and I am ambivalent on comparisons in either direction.

The google earth app needs some work, but it works and is entertaining.

As far as the gizmodo article on color chart, they are both right and they are morons. The color palette for the N1 is fine, what is screwed is the image scaling on the N1. This has been covered and discussed multiple time already in many different venues, including a thread on xda about that very Gizmodo article; there was no need to pollute this thread with it.

The point of it is really just fun, and to impress people. Although I won't dare show another iPhone owner, theyre not impressed. Theyve had the exact same app for a long time and somehow its a lot more impressive/smooth on the iPhones inferior hardware, perhaps updates will remedy that but I would've thought Google would wait to release it until its on par with apples app because there wasn't a lot of consumer pressure to release it. But I'm beginning to understand that even though the nexus hardware has more impressive numbers the iPhones is still better save browser loading time. Hopefully the more stable and smooth iPhone is due solely to the OS in which case the nexus can improve over time and become at least an equal. Just a tad off topic sorry

Yep, I'd rather have the adobe flash!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] shmigao:
i can see my home which is some 7,000 miles away from me now. :D

what is missing in this first version is to pin and tag locations so you can jump in one instance as you can with the PC-version

Smooth as heck for me.. I love it. I like going across the globe to Amsterdam then hit my locations then watch it go.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] StefanSarzio:
JIT compiling is said to give a 2-3 times performance boost. That should be more than enough to just come on par.

And don't let the fact slip that the Nexus One has a much higher screen resoluting.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] uansari1:
Does it freeze occasionally for anyone else? It freezes up on me and I have to exit out, then reopen it to get it to start moving again. It does open up where I left off though...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Paul22000:
I believe the iPhone has a better and dedicated GPU, whereas the Nexus One does not (correct me if I am wrong?).

/shrug, I don't play games, so I couldn't care less. The beefy processor seriously owns all for 99% of the things I do day-to-day. :)

Google Earth is for Android 2.1 only

I notice the post mentioned its for Android 2.0. But it turns out that it's only for Android 2.1
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] aliilyas:
Google Earth for Android runs smoothly on Nexus One, will it run the same on Droid?

Google Earth for Android recently went live. Got a look at the quick demo thanks to Geekword that shows this 3D powered app running smoothly on Nexus One. While the performance is impressive, it does beg one important question - will it maintain its speedy nature when it is used on Droid once the Droid gets the Android 2.1 update.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ruslanriad:
try it and let us know..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] uansari1:
I'm almost positive we do have a dedicated GPU.. I remember seeing this being discussed when the phone first came out.

Couldn't tell you if it's better than the iPhone's though.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DMaverick50:
As far as the iphone comparisons go, I apologize for hurting your feelings, but it kind of comes with the territory. The major smartphones perform largely the same functions, so when choosing one the analysis inevitably turns to how and how well they perform those functions, including the OS and the hardware. Apple set the standard and its only natural that Android, WinMo, Palm, etc...aim to meet and beat them. The competition benefits the consumer, as long as another manufacturer's phone performs a function better, the competition is compelled to improve their own functionality. If someone doesnt do it better there's little if any motivation to improve at a reasonable pace. So I think the comparisons are relevant, but ill try not to go there if it literally offends many people.

I am sorry for upsetting you. Along with the article I did mention the xda discussion and, unfortunately we cant all be expected to know everything at the same time, and a few minutes before i posted the link to the now debunked article was the first time I read about it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ATnTdude:
Even crappy free-on-contract feature phones have GPU's.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] JanetPanic:
You did not hurt my feelings. You distract the conversation for no constructive purpose. It inevitably drags the conversation away from the topic and down to a comparison shouting match. Instead discuss the app on its own merit. You seem to do this on every thread and it is tiring.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ivanmmj:
Actually, the iPhone 3GS (the most power iphone currently in the market) has a GPU that can push out 7 million triangle's per second. The Nexus One can push out 22 million triangle's per second. What kills the Nexus One is that it's not running code natively and instead if using the Dalvik Virtual Machine to translate Dalvik code on the fly. JIT will speed this up by turning some of that code into native code.

Google Earth for Android now Available

Has anyone found a way to fix the zoom level? when I locate myself it zooms in then if I move about I want to back off a little so the updates don't happen so often.

thanks,

Ahhhh, I see, thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] RussianSolja:
i love this app. useless but nice to show off. :) the space dont really kill me cause i have a 16gig memory card :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Paul22000:
Doesn't it install on internal memory? (Unless you're using Apps2SD?)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AndyCr15:
Apps2SD is an essential part of your Nexus One, surely? :) You don't use it?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] thm92630:
Not being rooted and therefore not being able to install on the SD Card, I had to Uninstall Google Earth as I would keep getting "Out of Space" notifications - even after uninstalling all but eight of my most coveted market apps!

Really sucks not being able to use the SD card!

I am tempted to root, but don't really understand the ramifications and benefits. I would hate to loose everything I have already configured on this phone....

Can someone point me to a thread (I know it must exist) that outlines this please - not the technique for rooting, but the benefits?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] cyborg_001:
Exactly what I'm looking for too!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AndyCr15:
Well, you will likely lose everything you set up on the phone. There are apps that store settings I think, but I've never really put them to use. It doesn't take all that long to put widgets back in place for example.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ivanmmj:
Rooted: Complete access to your file system, can use Apps2SD (which means you can store apps in your SD card), you can hack anything you want in it, use custom ROMs which can add some awesome features to the phone, etc etc.

Bad things about rooting: You can't just flash an official update when it comes out without loosing your root... that's it.

This applies to all the android phones.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SFECorvette:
Why can't I find google earth available in the market for my Motorola Droid!? Can someone help me out here. Thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] thm92630:
Does that mean that every time Cyanogen gives us a mod we have to recustomize the phone from scratch? I know when I got the first official update from google - I did not loose anything...

Do his updates point to a different server for updating and work the same way?

It would be useful to have a 'sticky' for us 'less technicaly inclined' with an outline of the benefits and consequences of modding!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] thm92630:
SFECorvette,

Google Earth requires Android 2.1, so until you get that update for the Droid, it will not be available...

Hello everybody. I have the N1 and a Galaxy Tab. I found very interesing this app using the internal compass on both the N1 and the Galaxy. Both save a cache file of max 200MB. Google earth for PC allows 2GB of cache size, and it seems can be reached this limit just changing a line in the windows registry. Do you know if can be changed on Android the 200MB limit that has on Android? I´m using a 16GB SDcard and the cache file is stored there so I should like to use a bigger cache file for offline tracking. Can anyone help?

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] johnsongrantr:
remember all that spamming sprint and htc about the source code for the kernel, and how ultra unsupportive I was of the spamming etc?

well anyway... this right here is a legitimate time to spam sprint about wanting SOMETHING in their catalog that will run google earth. Verizon their main competitor in the cdma realm has a phone that will run it and sprint does not, threaten to cancel your account if something isn't done soon.

Let them know you want it. This will hurry up the process... spamming about not getting a source code for blah blah... they don't really know much about or care about isn't going to help.

But Google earth is a big deal. In their idiotic minds this would make sence and they will push it up the chain... I promise this one would work to get us 2.1 quicker.

Also: don't mention the navigation... sprint has their own remember? I'm sure they aren't too thrilled to have a free alternative out there that people will probally be useing but google earth is uniquely something that they don't replicate with any other service.

I think the documents and ereader tabs were built exclusively for the US T-Mobile HD2 (as well as the HD2 Swype keyboard) and from what I've read, HTC won't be offering these as official updates :mad:.

Also I don't believe you can get these as cabs (only the keyboard) you'd have to install a whole new ROM. I'm running stock ROM as well and don't really want to flash the phone so I'll wait and see.

I don't know if anyone has touched on this but is WP7 going to have increase color depth from 16bit?

-Edit-

Been looking around and haven't seen anything on it yet. The ZuneHD is 16-bit color so if thats anything then we are still looking at the same color depth.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] X-On:
I'd like a least a 18bits (262k) color depth!!! but a 24bits or 32bits would be awesomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

Knowing the 16bits color depth of the zune we don't need to count on it!:mad:
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] gogol:
How is this on other competing platform like iPhone and Android?

I know Nokia has 16 million colors (24 bits at least?).

No, BB and WebOS is not competing platform :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Shasarak:
Windows Mobile has been the only smartphone OS that runs at less than 24-bit colour for several years, now. (Although on many phones, regardless of OS, the actual colour depth the LCD display is capable of showing is lower than the colour depth the OS works at internally).
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Kloc:
I guess it's really not that big of a deal. Unless your looking at a color gradient on your phone you can't really tell that the color depth isn't as high as it should be. All the pictures on my phone look pretty good, but it would be nice to see them move it to 24 or 32bit to get with the currect standard on most devices.

16-bit color (2^16 = 65536 colors)

24-bit color (2^24 = 16,777,216 colors)

32-bit color is 16,777,216 colors also but with 8-bits added for non-color items such as alpha, Z or bump data.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] TheGoD:
Lol, thats really ridicules because I was actually expecting full color for the 6.5 update.

And for me the lower colordeph is easily spotable in videos, at least on my oled device.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Shasarak:
Software which uses DirectDraw overlays is capable of overcoming the 16-bit limitation. I think the HTCAlbum picture viewer may do this; some of the pictures on my HD2 don't look like they are subject to 16-bit limitations.

If this is correct then it isn't safe to use the quality of pictures viewed in the Album as a fair measure of the impact of 16-bit colour.

can i write the adb command via a downloadable terminal from market?

ok, last try:

1. do not take out the sdcard while the phone is powered on IF you are using apps2sd. it doesn't work. if you need to take it out power down the phone.

2. put in the card while phone is off, boot into recovery (home+power)

3. partition the card as you like. if it fails you need to set up adb, there is no way to find out why it fails without adb.

4. if it works reboot. if there is any problem go back to recovery, go through the first 3 wipe options (this will wipe all your data), then reboot.

you can also try to partition the card on a pc.
