For the real pilots among use: Check out XSOAR
[Xoom General] pyrator:
only found XCSOAR not XSOAR

This seems more geared towards gliders and not powered flight.
[Xoom General] Acer99:
Sorry, your are right, xcsoar.

And yes, gliders, thats why I wrote real pilots :D

But I assume that is a good programm for powered flight too and you can get all maps and air space data for free
[Xoom General] pyrator:
lol nice, its not bad but its not quite what im looking for.

I would KILL to have a HD EFIS display for my xoom..... hint devs...

Sorry about the size of this image...
[Xoom General] staylo:
I'm an XCSoar developer (I need a higher post count before I'm able to post the link to the project website, but it's the project name .org). Most of the development effort is going into user interface improvements and features for sailplanes and paragliders currently, but we welcome suggestions from the GA crowd for improvements relating to that field. New features may be implemented quicker if suggestions are thoroughly documented, and will certainly be implemented much quicker if developers with a GA background join the project.

New features (or existing bugs) can be submitted at our 'trac' page, which requires registration. Features can then be described in a 'ticket' (please see 'Develop -> Bug Report' on the website.)

The registration's a necessary evil I'm afraid, in return you get email notification when the feature in question is implemented / problem is resolved.

As for displays relying on an AHRS: As soon as the right hardware is found. We're looking!

I fly for work a lot, and with the cached google maps, especially the zoomed out view of the US, when I turn on GPS on the plane, I see where we are on the map. Mind you that it is not street level, but does give me a general idea of what state im flying over and a general region.
[Xoom General] marctronixx:
kc, is this an app i can get today for the xoom? or one of your super secret apps?
[Xoom General] Riffer:
Thats not a secret app but "GPS Test" from the Market.
[Xoom General] xxspark89xx:
in my experience

...playing with the Xoom on Southwest in the US, the GPS didn't work. That was at around cruising altitude. Hope that helps somewhat. I couldn't wait to try it when flying, hoping to track my traveling and stuff, but no such luck.

recently i installed the last eclair kernel from Dalingrin (2/25/11), which among other great things, implements netfilter/iptables

i was able to install both TransProxy and AsProxy, but since i need ntlm authentication to connect to the internet in my office, only AsProxy would be useful for me, but when i hit the start button, it says that the iptables were not found.

has anyone been able to connect to the internet thru a proxy server (in my case an ISA Server), with any of the above mentioned programs or another one?
[Nook Color General] wrenchneck:
Have you gotten your iptables to show up yet?

I havent gone the route of ROM yet but I probably will have too. I have asproxy and Orbot (TOR client) installed but without iptables they are useless.
[Nook Color General] smafra:
I have the same issue too. Peharps Dal could compile the Kernet to support iptables.
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
What I had to do for this is set up OpenVPN... Violates my work policy, but oh well. Couldn't figure out how to get it set up any other way.

Technically I did set up an access point on a CentOS box with a transparent proxy, but that doesn't handle syncing which I need at work as I use my tablet during meetings and need to have my schedule up to date etc..
[Nook Color General] smafra:
Did you heard about Honeycomb 3.1? Now you can set up proxy and user/psw on the wifi configuration. Nice.. It should be very nice if CM7 got this too...

Hello everyone, I have a telus fascinate, and i want to install the darkys 9.3 final vibrant edition ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=973811 )

now it has the ka7 kernel, now will that kernel work with my phone? or has anyone tried? or would i be better off using the stock+voodoo kernal the was released for my phone?

whats the harm in using different kernels between phones etc,

thanks for all your help
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beray5:
I tried 3 separate kernels from different Samsung Galaxy-S phones (2.2.1 firmwares), all ended up in disasters. A couple times almost unrecoverable, for example I was able to get into download mode but Odin simply refused to connect or see the phone.

Needless to say I would not try again after 3 times. My luck can't hold out forever... YMMV, Your GSM Telus Fascinate may very well be much more compatible than my CDMA VZW Fascinate.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nosaj97:
I am on darky's 9.3 final with a telus fascinate. I put it on before I realized that there was a vibrant edition and have been happily using the i9000 verision since 9.2.

In case you are curious:

Install darky's 9.1 (stupid i know but do it) using the telus kernel,

this step i dont know if it needs to be done but i did it anyway: Install rom configurator and install darky's 9.2 no modem no kernel.

Finally install 9.3 with speedmod kernel and modem straight from the configurator. Thats how i did it. I am using the i9000 speedmod kernel because i find the battery is amazing with speedmod on ext2.

I have tried the telus modem and the one that comes with darky's and i can not see a difference so I am sticking to the one that comes with the rom because my phone is working perfectly right now.

The vibrant edition may work and may save you from investing in buttonremapper But this is what works for me:)
[EVO 4G General] ShadowCyborg:
Hey, sorry for the N00b question. I'm a software developer (among other things), but am just now delving into the world of custom ROMs for my EVO 4g. I've been looking at what's available and see a few that say either AOSP or NOT AOSP.

This leads me to a few questions.

1. What is AOSP?

- Is it a separate code base (other than 3.70.651.1 #15) from which to start customizing the code to create a custom ROM?

2. What are the main differences that are generally present between the normal code base and AOSP based?

3. Can you go back to a ROM based on 3.70.651.1 (or another base) if you go AOSP?

4. If it is a custom code base, whas it created from scratch or based on something else?

Thanks for your time in answering this. If I'm way off base on what AOSP is, just let me know. I appreciate your replies!
[EVO 4G General] sultan.of.swing:
Simple, it is android without any overlay from different carriers. It is just bone stock android.

Android Open Source Project.

Edited because I fail!
[EVO 4G General] clamknuckle:
Disclaimer: I'm not taking anything away from any of the Devs here. I can't do any of the stuff they do with any of the ROMs, so please, don't take the following as such.

Most of the non AOSP roms here are themed versions of the stock rom with performance increasing tweaks and what not. Not saying there's anything wrong with that, but it is what it is.

AOSP roms like Cyanogenmod are built from the source code. They are usually more bleeding edge because when the source is released from Google, they get to working on the update. Cyanogenmod 7 is already on 2.3.3, whereas most sense roms are still on 2.2.1
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
AOSP is short for Android Open Source Project. It's the source code for Android.

HTC takes the AOSP code and then adds Sense and their other tweaks to it. Basically all ROMs whether they are from HTC, Samsung, or who ever, is based on AOSP. The thing is that some of the OEMs modify the code so much that things start to become incompatible. Plus if you go straight to AOSP right now, the source code is up to Android 2.3.3, no OEM released ROM is up to that version. So that creates even more incompatibilities.

Some custom ROMs use AOSP and implement the code to devices from the ground up. That's what Cyanogen Mod does. MIUI also does this (and adds some heavy modifications to the code as well) but that ROM isn't specifically built for the EVO but is instead ported from the Nexus One ROM.

To keep it simple:

- AOSP is Android at it's most basic form, it's straight from Google and is pretty much what the Nexus devices use as final builds.

- OEM ROMs are based on AOSP but are usually outdated and heavily modified.

- You can go back and forth if you want, but if you do, you should wipe your cache as their are incompatibilities.
[EVO 4G General] ShadowCyborg:
Wow, that's great everyone! I completely understand now. I really appreciate all the help and replies!

Could I ask what everyone's favorite AOSP & non-AOSP ROM is? I know this has been asked before, but I'd like the opinions of those that replied to this post, if they don't mind.

I'm looking for "bleeding-edge" technology, wireless tethering, hulu, etc. all the bells and whistles essentially. I don't care so much about how "pretty" it looks, just functionality and cool-gadgety-stuff. Thanks again!!!
[EVO 4G General] DomSim:
i would definitely suggest you look at cyanogenmod. it is built straight from source but improved apon in many ways. you can think of cyanogenmod as a crowd sourced rom. meaning anyone can contribute and submit changes to it. it is governed and controlled by the core members of the cyanogenmod team (team douche) but open for anyone to modify. what this gets you is a rom as close to aosp but made better. things like the power bar widget in the notification menu, music controls on the lock screen, quiet hours (notifications are turned down or off as well as dimming leds during set hours so they do not wake if if you say get an email at 5am), etc etc. members of teamwin recently built 4g support from the ground up be themselves and it is now a part of cyanogenmod. besides adding in features they also do a great deal of optimizing creating one of the most streamlined, user friendly fastest roms available.

oh and one part of your question seems unanswered - the 3.70.x.x.x of sense based roms is just the numbering of the rom build from htc for sprint but will always be built off of an older version of android due to the amount of customization done to it.
[EVO 4G General] novanosis85:
It's soap spelled wrong.
[EVO 4G General] Royvin:
As far as AOSP go I like Cyanogen CM7 or MIUI but if I want a sense type rom I typically run Mikfroyo or Fresh.
[EVO 4G General] ShadowCyborg:
Thank you all very much, once again! I have so far tried the following ROMs.

- King's Ultra Unleashed R2

- Cyanogen Mod 6.1.2

I'm running Cyanogen Mod right now and it's pretty cool, but the problem is I really like different features of each. I do like how many features are built into the Cyanogen Mod ROM though. I have to say, I LOVE the quiet time feature a LOT! I've wished Android had that for a while now. Oh, and the increased battery life and decreased charge time of both is AWESOME!!! My phone had gotten to the point where it wouldn't even charge in the car. It just kept the battery at the level it was at. Now it will only drop 7% battery over the entire night, unplugged!

I'm contemplating trying the EVO Non-Sense right now. I am just trying many of them to see which I like the best. Thanks for all the advise everyone!

Digged up an old thread through search

I was wondering what AOSP meant as well, but thanks I now know and might try some of the suggested ROMs in here :D So far I had only tried a King ROM (Shooter) with Sense 3.0. I don't mind it, but currently I can't get Swype to behave for me so I was thinking about dropping it and moving onto another.

I just got the phone yesterday and it is my first Android phone. I've used Windows and iPhones since they first came out. Now I have to learn to use Android.

Are there any general Android forums for somewhat newbies? How about any other good resources to come up to speed?

So far in the first 24 hours I setup my Exchange email accounts, rearranged the widgets to my liking, and enabled the WiFi hotspot with the additional APN. It's nice that some premier customers can still get the unlimited data plan (that has always been capped at 5 GB).

I've been reading these forums for the last couple of weeks and picked up a few things, but I'm sure there is a ton more I need to learn.

[Desire General] reesie72:
hi i had a desire when it first came out , and then went iphone route, i am considering desire again but wonder if it would be updated with new sense ui etc that i read about on new desire models ie the hd and z . what differences could i expect , including android updates many thanks
[Desire General] erklat:
No new sense until HTC releases official update.

Oh, and a year ago was before Samsung realized how good screen they made. After that they decided to f HTC in the a, so now you would get SLCD instead of AMOLED.
[Desire General] Meaple:
They didn't f HTC in the a, they just couldn't make AMOLED screens fast enough for HTC since HTC had 3 models that were being made at the same time more or less and they all used AMOLED screens. So they had to use SLCD screens as a compromise.

Anyway, no point in getting the original Desire now really since Desire S is coming out and will be better. Desire S also comes with 2.3.(x) I think so Sense would be updated. Where as Desire gets 2.3 update in Q2.

I must say bah to the iPhone.

[Nexus One General] krazichinaman:
My warranty ended on March 2nd so I decided to send my N1 for a preemptive warranty work on the known power button issue. My phone wasn't really showing any symptoms of the issue but every 10 or so pushes on the power button would result in not turning on the screen.

It was sent out on March 1st and I got it back today March 3rd. They received the package on March 2nd, "repaired it" and sent it back out same day. That is what I call FAST service!!!

I wish I would had removed my screen protector before sending it in. Makes me wonder if they replaced the screen....:o
[Nexus One General] k_myk:
Glad to hear that:)

Can I ask you about two things? Is N1 officially supported on your country? How much more they charged you for repair than part cost?

I've had great experience with HTC... they were fast to Canada and that's unheard of. New battery and wires :)

[Nexus One General] torchedlh:
did they do anything to it?

My experience with HTC was terrible. Sent it in for the power button fix. They fixed the power button, swapped my board, ruined my $20 screen protector. Phone froze after first startup, wouldnt startup again. This time I did a swap cuz I was about to leave on vacation, the swap they sent me has a crappy, mush, volume down button.
[Nexus One General] krazichinaman:
Thats a good question if they did anything to it. As I said, it was more of a preemptive send in. The power button was probably ok and unresponsive once every 10 pushes or so.

They took off my CM screen protector so I don't know if they decided to change out the screen or not. I did notice that the grit that tends to get stuck in the cracks of the side of where the screen meets the glass was gone...

My power button also feels very firm and solid. Before it felt mushy pushing it. When I talked to them on the phone, the only notes they had were that my power button was getting repaired.

Has anyone been able to setup a hotmail account using Exchange ActiveSync or IMAP? I hate using POP3 because I end up deleted the same message on different devices.

With my iPhone I was able to setup my hotmail account using ActiveSync with the server name of m.hotmail.com. I've read about other people using that server to setup hotmail using IMAP. When I try to setup my hotmail account on the Inspire the same way as the iPhone, it fails at the final step of creating the account. It actually passes the account verfication step.

I'm using the stock AT&T Inspire ROM with the mail application that came on it. My other Exchange ActiveSync accounts are working fine.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jc2470:
I know with yahoo mail i had to enable ssl because it wasnt working.
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
I just set my Hotmail up as Exchange and it went through without a hitch. Everything's syncing fine. Full email address as your username, no domain, m.hotmail.com for server, and SSL is checked

I didn't know Hotmail could do this, thanks for making me Google it :D

Edit: After I said this it looks like it keeps Syncing 4 messages, then dropping them, then syncing them again, on and on...hmm

Deleted the account and tried to set it up again and now it won't go past the Account Name screen. When I click Finish Setup, it eventually gives me an error stating "Failed to create the account. Please try again later." Is that what you're seeing?

Workaround: I just put the email.apk from this thread (http://androidforums.com/incredible-all-things-root/135630-vanilla-2-2-mail-apk.html) in /system/app, renamed the stock mail.apk, rebooted, and now I have a different version of the mail app, but I was able to sync 2 exchange accounts (including hotmail). I just deleted messages from my phone and they deleted from server

when you create account ask for account name enter your yahoo login id, when it shows incoming server u have to select ssl then click next then outgoing select ssl and everything should be all good, if still having problems let me know I will do mine from scratch with step by step.

I've now rooted my phone and I want to try this. I'm in terminal as a superuser and trying to rename the stock Mail.apk file. I'm getting an error that it's read-only. How do you rename a read-only file?
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
You have to mount the system as R/W. Honestly i'm no ADB expert, so I can't tell you how to do it through there. However, if you get ES File Explorer (free on market), open it, Menu--Settings--Root Options, put a check in Root Explorer and Mount File System. Now ES File Explorer will allow you to navigate all root directories. Go to system/app, find mail.apk, and either delete it, or rename it (i just add an extra extension on the end to confuse it). Once you've done this, download the email.apk i referenced earlier, and copy/paste it from your SD card to system/app (which you should be able to do as long as ES Explorer is still mounted R/W) then restart. Now you should have "Email" app in your app drawer and you can drag it to your main screen (or not) and set it up
