Just installed and get blank screen on settings and nothing more than "You are logged in!" on the main screen. The portal map is also blank, I assume because the app hasn't updated geolocation (of course). I will pastebin logcat tomorrow if you need it.
[Android Apps and Games] Dallenlim:
how to install ..dun mind can teach me
[Android Apps and Games] yanger:
Sweet. Registered. Installed it.

At first, it couldn't find me - showed something else for a bit, and the website was all crunched up in the top left corner around 300x300 pixels [the Course Fine Update LiveTrack Off .. etc... was fine though :)].. now it's fine. yay.

looking good though! i do wonder how much power it will consume though?

pressing menu brings up 2 pictures .. testing them, one is log out, and one is configure (??) but is blank. maybe add text to those :| and the plain black bg when logged in, is kinda.. nerve racking.. :P maybe a notification that the user can go Home and it will stay in memory or something :)

app2sd? or smaller size?

possibly adding emails of other users allowing them to view your phone loca could be useful in - tracking each other :)

Ok, after a few minutes I noticed the map updated and was working properly - remote alarm worked as well even when in silent mode.

Kudos, this is a very well put together app. I'm not clear on how it's running as it did not require root and there's no icon in the status bar so I don't see how it gains background or foreground process status but I'll see how it does tomorrow when I'm out and about to verify the location gets updated.
[Android Apps and Games] kwhee07:
The lock function does not work for me, and my actual location is just outside of the blue circle drawn during live tracking, however the app works great otherwise. I look forward to future versions of this!

Please allow few more signup(s), I had my phone stolen Oct 2010, been looking for something like this for ages so I can track my device if.....

[Android Apps and Games] richbayliss:
Hey all - sorry for my lack of replies, ive been having some serious down-time since CES2011 - didnt get nearly enough sleep and work has had me swamped.

So I wanted to update you on my progress, seems alot of people have hit the signup sheet and my initial limit of 100 has been filled rapidly :) I am in the process of sorting this out now so signups will be allowed soon.

So the app seems to be gaining popularity (thanks, this is my first app so I'm quite chuffed) and I want to assure people that there will always be a free version (which might be restricted in some way, but not massively) and I am planning a premium version (I'm thinking £0.99, which is a small price to put on finding a lost/stolen phone worth £200+ ;) ).

Regarding peoples queries about battery usage, the app uses Google's C2DM to push messages into the phone, so the GPS is only activated when you ask for the location off the website. This keeps the usages to a minimum. The only exception is when you use LiveTrack, as this keeps a service in the background to send off your updates every 15 seconds or so. So for normal usage you shouldnt see any ill effects.

Locking the device remotely had to go sadly, as the Android security API couldnt let me create an effective second layer locking mechanism. If any ROM devs want to create a hook point for my app to lock the phone properly then get in touch :)

I am also working on a v2.0 update - which should be the first proper RC - which is tidier and has a better phone app with more instructions etc. I can also enable A2SD mode in the manifest, but if a thief steals your phone and pulls the memory card then your stuck :(

More updates soon, thanks again everyone for testing this out!

Hey guys, updated the OP - check out the new platform and get back to me with any issues.
[Android Apps and Games] Johntastic:
Just tried it out: Get GPS Location and Sound Alarm both work perfectly on my N1, running CM7 (nightly 14). Operator is left blank, though it does get my IMEI and SIM ID.

Like you said, I think £0.99 is a totally reasonable price (makes it ~$1.58 US) for an app that will help me find my ~600 phone (and, possibly, the jerk who has it in their grubby hands...).

Seems great so far! Thanks for, and keep up the great work! :D

Edit: Oh, and maybe put up a donate link so we can support development before the app is on the market! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] B1ny:
Isn't any settings done from the client anymore?
[Android Apps and Games] B1ny:
Neither GPS or network location works my N1. Sound alarm does though. N1 cm7, nightly #14. Everything worked on last version, except that I couldn't get into(or see) settings.
[Android Apps and Games] parisien99:
hello

why wouldn't you make an option that permit someone to make a live tracking for a limited amount of time ???

I want am if i want someone to track me now but not track me tomorow, i can not do it !!!

and an easy way to send a tracking link to this person. with personalized sms or email.... (and a very easy and little link that the person can copy on his computer when he receive it on sms)

thank you.

(how can i upgrade my account ???)
[Android Apps and Games] richbayliss:
The code to get GPS location is the same, except it times out after 15 seconds if it cannot acquire a lock (this is to save battery). Network location isn't available in the Standard account license which is why you cannot access it. Sorry.

Nice idea, I will have a look at this. It shouldn't be too difficult to allow a timed login with restricted access to your location data.

I am still ironing out the kinks on the more advanced features and also in the process of getting a dedicated server setup. Once I have this then a proper upgrade path will be available to all.

Nope, the idea behind the client is that it should be really simple and take all settings from the web. For example, you could embed the client into any ROM and when you link the device to your account it has the settings you used previously. It also means that if your device is wiped to factory (and the client is in the ROM) then you can still have it enable LiveTracking as the app contacts the server on boot. If you had settings within the app, then a reset would wipe these :(

Thanks for this APP ! :)

EDIT : Hummm....Impossible to find my phone on the map.... HELP :(
[Android Apps and Games] richbayliss:
This happens if GPS cannot get a fix for your position. It basically has roughly 15 seconds to try and fix.

[Android Apps and Games] KarlosTheJackal:
I've recently re-installed this on my Device Z & noticed all the battery problems have gone!

Will keep testing this app & report back if any problems turn up :)

btw, when are you thinking of releasing the Pro/paid for version? This is the kind of app that is worth the money!
[Android Apps and Games] richbayliss:
I am trying to source some reasonably hosting for the service, then I will look to push the paid versions to the Android Market etc.

Also I want to look into having my own pre-2.2 push notification service to add support to other platforms. Once all this has been arranged you will see the extra features, and also the accounts created will not change so no need to re-register etc.
[Android Apps and Games] Mighty_Thor:
Great start!

Love the idea! Thanks for keeping it simple and straightforward.

The alarm works fine on my EVO 4G, but the web app seems to insist that my phone is located somewhere in Germany. It is not. It is sitting here in front of me in CA.

Is there something I can provide to help troubleshoot this?

Hurry up and put it on the market! I would happily donate to help the development.

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] spuniun:
project abandoned or just temporary hosting troubles?
[Android Apps and Games] richbayliss:
Hey all - the project isn't abandoned - just got some hosting troubles.

The site was running off my home server which has had to be unplugged due to my first child needing a nursery! So away with my office :(

Hope to get this back up soon, and make some headway on the project.

[Desire General] Forge94:
This is just a little research into the market for a new Desire (and other Android phones) accessory I hope to make and sell.

Similar to the TK-421 keyboard case for the iPhone, its pretty much for anyone with a keyboardless phone looking for a more tactile typing experience. I will aim to simplify the hinge more compared to the TK-421, making it more sturdy and have less chance of problems. If you read up some reviews on it, you'll notice the swivel hinge is held together by 1 thin pin and users have a constant feeling that it will break.

I wouldn't have an idea on how to go about making a sturdy sliding mechanism as an alternative (hey, even the phone manufacturers haven't got it right yet!) or even a slider at all.So instead, I've decided to go with a simple flipping hinge for the time being. I can think of a few problems with this already. Just can't win, but I'll work something out.

It's early idea stages so far, but I just want to get a feel for people's opinions, since it's definitely a 2 sided discussion. Some prefer keeping their device thin and sleek, while others love their device apart from the fact that there's no physical keyboard and would not hesitate to sacrifice the thinness.

Keeping in mind, this WILL add a significant thickness to your phone.

An 11mm thick phone + 1mm thick case + ~9mm thick keyboard = behemoth

Imagine a Nokia N900 or Touch Pro 2 (comparable to a bricks), but slightly thicker. The upside however, is that you're not stuck withthe bulkiness all the time.

In other words, switch between brick and slick, whenever you want :)

In addition: if this project goes through and is mildly successful, I may release a "Gamepad Addon", making gaming more enjoyable for us with keyboard-less phones. In fact, I might first release it specifically targeting gamers depending on the respsonse... Pushing the brainstorm aside, I just want to hear what everyone thinks!

Please post with your opinion below. The more feedback I get, the better. If you don't feel like posting, please at least vote it the poll so I can get a close idea.

This isn't all just written ideas by the way. I've been testing different things with my Nexus One and the specific keyboard I'll be using for a few weeks now.

NOTE: I've posted this in the Desire section simply because it's the best fitted phone for this accessory. It's the same size as the keyboard (all 3.7 inch screen phones are also), the trackpad does not protrude much and therefore won't interfere with the mechanism. This pretty much leaves the Desire and Droid Incredible, but there seems to be a bigger Desire community...so here goes!
[Desire General] sakai4eva:
I wouldn't mind the accessory, but the price shouldn't be prohibitive. Another question will be how would you connect to the Desire? Bluetooth?
[Desire General] Forge94:
Yep, Bluetooth is the only option.

Unfortunately USB Host isn't available on the Desire and other androids without an external power source and lots of fiddling.

This means if you wanted this accessory you'd need to either be running CM6, or have some third party software (BlueInput/BlueKeyboard JP). If I had programming experience I'd develop the drivers myself, sadly this is not the case!

As for price, I am thinking US $30-$40. There are a couple of iPhone cases soon to be released in the $70-80 price range which I think is a little steep.

Personally, $40 would be the borderline price if I were to buy something like this, so hopefully it'll be a little less than that.
[Desire General] sakai4eva:
What about the positioning? Will it be like the iPhone version and be placed on the back? Battery life? Will the gaming addon cost more?
[Blade General] cynepmeh:
Hello. I am struggling with this for three days now. I can't seem to make it work. So I think I need a detailed how-to because obviously I am doing something wrong.

I am using this clockwork recovery image: http://android.modaco.com/content/z...27215/oled-tft-2-5-1-8-clockworkmod-recovery/

Then I go to clockwork recovery mode and create 1GB ext partition. Wipe everything from everywhere.

After that I install paul's alpha3 prebake.

What happens is I have 1GB less storage on my class4 8GB SD, but don't see the ext3 partition (where should I look for it exactly)
[Blade General] mercianary:
In normal use the only way you'll know if its working or not is if you run out of space or not.

To find your ext partition look in '/sd-ext' or '/system/sd', you might need a file explorer that can use root privileges, I use estrongs. If the directories 'app' and 'app-private' are there then its working.

If your still sure its not working double check that the prebaked version comes with apps2sd...not all do.
[Blade General] cynepmeh:
Thank you. I think the prebaked alpha3 version doesn't have the apps2sd scripts. I tried to install Darktremor Apps2SD 2.7.5.2 but it killed my OS and had to flash it again. So is there any specific a2SD that I can use with this rom?
[Blade General] cynepmeh:
OK. I installed the Japanese jellyfish ROM yesterday and everything works like a charm so I guess prebaked alpha3 didn't have the apps2sd scripts.

Thank you again for your help, mate!
[Blade General] majnu:
what is apps2ext?
[Blade General] cynepmeh:
It basically gets some storage space from the SD card and lies the system that it's part of the apps section of the internal memory
[Blade General] majnu:
so it is basically like a different storage architecture for the SD card? Like we can have fat32, ntfs etc?
[Blade General] cynepmeh:
I am no expert here. From what I know - scripts create some symlinks so the app storage is actually placed on the sd, but the system doesn't know that and thinks it is still the old place. The path is the same, but it actually is something like a shortcut. The ext is probably because it needs to be linix partition or something...

This is what I think and it may not be true however :)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jorwex:
I find it frustrating that not all roms are posted with an accompanying hash. I really like to verify the integrity of files before I flash them. There isn't a database of them somewhere that I just don't know about, is there? I have not been using rom manager, as I have amon ra flashed, but I'd imagine it verifies files somehow.

For instance, right now I'm trying to see if the MIUI-EVO-v12.24-rc1.zip and miui-0.12.24_EVO-EN_PACK1c.zip I got have the same hashes as I calculated (48d31ec54494ee396bd30e183b342199 and d383db1680df4d19074f369cecc00f59)

Does anyone else share this concern? Or will recoveries warn you that a rom is damaged when they flash or something?

[G2 and Desire Z General] frax:
Hi,

Coming from Windows Mobile and the "Manila" HTC Sense UI there - I miss the menu/shortcut where I had easy access to a selection of shortcuts to create a new sms/e-mail/appointment/task etc.

Is there any app or other way to create sometning similar - for instance as shortcuts on a home screen? I looked a bit at AnyCut, but I can't see how one can create such shortcuts from there...

Part of the problem here, I guess, is that I use quite a mix of software for these assignments (K9mail, Got To Do, HTC Calendar, HTC Messaging etc).

Any inputs are welcome, thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z General] MacaronyMax:
I don't know if this is what you're talking about, but when you press the customize button/ long click on the main homescreen near the bottom of that screen (Above folders) is Shorcut button where you can add shortcuts to the home screen :D Have a look in there and see if any of those are what you want ;)
[G2 and Desire Z General] catachresistant:
I think he wants a group of direct shortcuts to, for example, "compose new message", "add new appointment", etc..

Basically, a "new..." menu.

You could use LauncherPro (or ADWLauncher, I assume) to do it, as long as you're not married to your Sense widgets. Long-press on the desktop, shortcuts -> activities, and experiment from there.

You could bundle all the shortcuts together in a folder on your desktop and call it a day.

I wonder if there's a widget that can do it, though.
[G2 and Desire Z General] frax:
catachresistant is on the right track...
[G2 and Desire Z General] wileykat:
You can put shortcuts into folders with sense too....

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
Just download any "stock" or "stock-based" rom, extract facebook out of it and push to /system/app/ with ADB. There's no need to re-flash/re-root/re-mess with it anymore just because one app taken out.

And, seriously, /system/app space is wasted, you can't put your downloaded apps in there so why is everyone deleting system apps instead of freezing them (pm disable function)? It is so much easier with Titanium back-up app and, if later you decide to use it again, you can go back and unfreeze it again without going through these pains.

Good luck.
