this is the Media Server app from the Xperia Arc.

I can install and open it but i cant tell if it works because i have no other wireless enabled devices on my house right now, but it should work.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pbezza:
I've been searching for a native SE DLNA app, cheers. Will test tonight. Hope it's better than the 2 DLNA apps I have previously used. They both had limited success. Most of the time I would lose connectivity whilst streaming video.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] marceledbv:
Well, I tried this app but when activate the media server, the app closes and nothing happens.

When I open the app again, the checkbox appers selected but the status of the media server shows disabled.

I tried this app with the CM6 3.2.1b rom on my mini pro but it maybe works on the 2.1 stock rom.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pbezza:
Yeah, same results for me too.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Nagarebozhi:
Maby its because its for Arc, its works for the Big X10I,

Sent from my ARCified X10i with CM 7.0 RC1 2.3.3 Gingerbread

Big thanks to lionclaw. TetherGPS allows you to tether your android phone w/ GPS to your nook color and share gps data, no longer need bluetooth. I'm currently running it on my droid x wifi-tethering to nook color on eclair. Works great. All credit goes to lionclaw.

Grab it in the market. Sorry for the quality but you get the idea.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] smaskell:
wow, this look awesome

I'm slightly reluctant to try it

seeing as how there are <50 downloads and 0 ratings in the market

but I guess I can always return it

and losing out on 3 bucks really wouldn't be the end of the world anyway
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] acomiskey:
He just got it up today.:D
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Caesarg:
No Rush

The author stated he was working on a lite version to try it out so if you are leery to try it just hang on.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
This works great!!!

Point Inside is usable now! I was just looking at a map of the Seattle airport. Before this, it would just force close when I tried to pull up a map. Logcat showed it was due to lack of GPS.

I am a happy camper. :D
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Divine_Madcat:
Oh wow.. this looks incredible (espcially since i will tether with my incredible! hehe).

One question - does this also still allow internet data tethering? Or does this just piggy back on any tether (Wifi or barnacle)?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] lionclaw:
You can still use WiFi for data. The server broadcasts to the WiFi subnet (currently coded for /24 subnets).

So as long as the LAN you're on has a /24 subnet and supports broadcast packets you're good to go. Just connect both devices to the same network. It also works fine with the device tethered to the phone using android-wifi-tether. I haven't tried any other wifi tether apps, but so long as the above conditions are met I don't see any reason why it won't work.

I'll probably add a server configuration to allow for different sized subnets or the ability to send directly to a certain IP, if people want those options.

Thanks for the feedback everyone :)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] soricon:
any chance we might see the server running on an iPhone? It should work in a similar way, at least on the Nook Color side...

...and it made some news already...
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] khaytsus:
This is exactly what I was thinking could be done a few weeks ago, but never posted about it. I'm glad someone did it and it works, this is pretty cool. :D

Hopefully the battery usage is reasonable etc..

Missed your turn while driving down the interstate videoing your NC. Crazy. ;)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] acomiskey:
Nice video there! Hehe next time ill do it at night.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Divine_Madcat:
Rock on good sir! I cannot wait to try it.....

But sadly, it seems like we must - the Nook (in the market.android.com page) is listed as incompatible. Were you still going to post a client (lite) apk so we can try it out?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] acomiskey:
Had to get back to work...;)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] lionclaw:
The light version is up on the market and at http://www.comptonsoft.com

It includes the full client and a light version of the server that will run for 5 minutes at a time. After it stops its notification will change to "Time limit reached." and stop sending GPS data. You can just re-toggle the widget to start it again.

I'll have a setup/demo video ready in just a bit.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Clienterror:
People say don't text and drive. This dude has his nook tethered to his phone while filming from his phone he's tethered to, I think he's raised the bar for unsafe driving lol.

You must have missed where I put in very small text....

*Professional driver on closed course...
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] soricon:
Not unless he was posting here at the same time :)

But I have to admit, this application matches very well the new version of Google Maps released today that has real time traffic re-routing.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Divine_Madcat:
Thanks for that!

Great vid... just got it(tgps)working... Thanks
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] MurfsHTC:
Works on the HTC Inspire 4G using hotspot. About an hour drive home with 45% left on the Nook. I would post my vid, but someone put the damn phone upside down in the Rocketfish mobile windshield mount :o:mad::rolleyes: There was no professional involved ;)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Backwardsblade:
Having difficulty, my inc is reporting location not found using MIUI. Is MIUI/Inc supported?

EDIT: please disregard, i had server/client widgets switched. This is superb! Well done!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] dzap:
So only Evo/Droid X are supported? Installed fine on my NC and I got the widget..but on my HERO with AOSP CM7 it does not show up in my widgets list :(

Try resetting your Hero. It shows up fine on my Evo after install but I had to restart the NC for it to show up (running Honeycomb v4 image).
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] pseudo_nomen:

Dude, absolutely brilliant!! Thanks for an awesome bit of ingenuity :)

Works perfectly between CM7 RC2 EVO and 0.6.8 Nookie Froyo w/ 1100 MHz overclock

Great Job now the NookColor can be use as a full navigation Indash Stereo. :)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] qwho:
I can't believe how well this works... this Guy is gonna make a killing on this app.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] dzap:
Very first thing I tried. Still does not show up and it's in my applications list so it's definitely installed...sigh :(

How do I turn on GPS running eclair/rooted stock?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] acomiskey:
If it's reporting that your gps is not enabled you can download a gps toggle widget from the market. The switchpro widget worked for me.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] sgood1971:
Your better half has a professional sounding voice. Very nicely done and thanks to you both for the vid.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] taylor.fowler:
Working with Aria hotspot on CM7 + Nook color on HC emmc v4 2nd ed.

Like a charm! this is superb.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] The Chris:
Got it installed on my EVO and NC. Just trying to find a way to use the widget on stock Nootered NC. Any thoughts?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] acomiskey:
Are you running a home launcher application like ZEAM or are you using the stock b&n home launcher? You can't add widgets to the stock b&n launcher...install zeam or launcher pro.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] The Chris:
Installed ADW and the widget is on the desktop. The little green bar is on for both server and client. GPS is still not seen by GMaps.

And, NC is wifi tethered to the EVO.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] khaytsus:
You probably don't have Mock Location turned on. On the Nook Color you'll have to go into NookColor Tools and Development and enable it there. Then disable and re-enable the client.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Caesarg:
Original Droid issues?

I loaded it on both the NC and the OG Droid. I see the widgets on the NC and turned on the Tether Client but on the Droid the widget is nowhere to be found. It loaded but no widget. I tried rebooting but still no go. Does the server side widget need to be turned on and if so any thoughts on how I might get the widget to show?

Thanks in advance

Gerry
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] The Chris:
Thanks! That does the trick!

Just might need to buy this software now ;-)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] j.a:
If your widgets are missing, like mine were, try moving the app install location from the SD to "phone" and reboot.

Excellent app!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] easyski:
i was able to download (the lite version i tried) on both my phone (og droid) and nook color (nookie froyo 0.6.8) as well but couldnt open it on either and it didnt show up in my app drawer, just in market saying it was installed.

not sure if OG droid is supported but dont know why it wouldnt open on my nook
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] acomiskey:
It won't show up in your app drawer, it is a widget only. Add the widgets to your home screens.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] easyski:
you know how when you read about someones issue and you think "holy **** this person is stupid.."

that's how i feel about myself right now haha.

Thanks!!! (wow, sorry :) )
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Divine_Madcat:
I just have to say thanks again to the author - it works beautifully. Count me in on buying the full version tonight. :)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] easyski:
ok.. I am having issues with it on my nook color (client widget)

nookie froyo 0.6.8

added to home screen, as soon as i click the widget it force closes.

EDIT: today is not my day to follow basic instructions. Needed to enable mock locations...
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] dzap:
Thanks lionclaw! just got the time to reply and send you some screenshots of what I'm seeing and my Android version. It's not in my widget's list. Would be amazing if you can help me get it working on my Hero so I can buy a license! :D

Always happy to support the developers of XDA...always.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] lionclaw:
Thanks j.a, great tip! Anyone still have the missing widget problem after this?

Told you this would make engadget!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] lionclaw:
Wow, unreal!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Calla969:
First app I've bought specifically for my Nook. Great job on an incredibly useful app that functions perfectly. I downloaded it last night and tested it today. Worked perfectly. I prefer using the NC screen to my Nuvi any day!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] dzap:
^This. Forgot if this was a Gingerbread or CM7 thing but I completely forgot about it. This did it. :D
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] DGarmon:
Ok, so I have a quick question, I have tested TGPS and it works awesome, but one this thing concerns me. Since we are sharing data connection, does it use effect our data plain? Or does GPS not use it.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Caesarg:
Great call! Worked like a charm!

Thanks:D
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] j.a:
Np, glad I could help :)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] nauska:
Just read about it on Engadget. Can't wait to get my NC (in a week or so) so I can try it!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] norkoastal:
Just got my case from B&N

This app sealed the deal.. The nook shall live on my dash in hacked (no cutting/drilling) style.. NookieNav + Poweramp for the music...
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] tj!2k7:
I'm going to re-ask this question here, since this thread appears to be more active than the original one:

Is there a way to get standalone nav apps to work with this?

Sygic Aura, for instance seems to require GPS hardware, or NMEA strings and not just location data... is there a way to spoof this?

Or can this app already do this and I'm just missing it...?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] lionclaw:
It doesn't look like Aura supports mock locations. I'll check into this a bit more and see if there's a workaround.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mesome383:
Saw the post about this in the general forum and tried it out yesterday and it worked really well!

I did find one problem though, if you put down the widget, turn it on, and then remove the widget, you can't turn it off. If you put down the widget again it just tries to start up another instance of the service and fails. I tried doing a force stop but it just restarts. Ended up having to reboot. I suppose the moral of the story is don't remove the widget while it's on. :D

Also, some way to turn it on other than a widget would be a nice addition too.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] jtxmobile:
Now release an iphone version on cydia and I am game!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] kmalinich:
Just wanted to say that the app works perfect and I purchased, I did appreciate the demo version, too. Awesome job, dev!!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] smaskell:
This doesn't seem to be working on my nexus one with cm7

the notification doesn't show my ip

and my nook won't connect

any ideas?

Thanks,

Samuel Maskell
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] lionclaw:
Is GPS turned on in location settings? Try putting the phone somewhere it has a clear view of the sky, to make sure it's getting a good GPS signal.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Dadeeo:
She sounds HOT!

Works on my Hero!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] runhopskipjump:
+1 please! I will pay!

Nooking with Encore
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] lionclaw:
App updated:

- New Icons

- Fixed widget size issue

Let me know if you have any issues with the new version.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] ShadoX:
Thanks for the great app lionclaw, I am wondering though, can you make it so that we can activate this from the app drawer, I'd like to be able to automate it with something like Tasker or Plug In Launcher. My nook lives in the car now and I'd like to make this autostart when I plug in the usb charger or something.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] kar_:
Lioclaw, I don't have another smartphone so no GPS for me but I would just like to say you're doing a very good job here!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Dadeeo:
Did a road test and it worked fine. Purchased! Awesome app at a great price point.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] bengt_a:
You can also use the built in Power Control widget... :-)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] khaytsus:
Same here, I'd personally rather this be an app that you start/stop and when it's running it's in the Status bar.

However, just because it's a widget doesn't mean it couldn't listen for Intents for Tasker..
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] RoboRay:
Regular app drawer items that toggle the client and server on and off would also integrate better into setups that make use of launcher elements such as Simi Folders, Multicon and Desktop Visualizer.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] bengt_a:
Anyone else having problems purchasing the app? My account is stuck at "Authorizing purchase"... (for over 30h now, and counting...)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] KryptoNyte39:
Yes, I had that same problem last night. I just exited Market, and when I came back in, it was listed as a purchased app (so I downloaded/installed it at that point), and the confirm email came into my gmail box.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] bengt_a:
Hm. It seems like Android Market has a problem authorizing my credit card. The purchase still hasn't gone through, neither for this nor for another app I just tried to buy. Extremely annoying. Fortunately the author of the TGPS app is extremely kind!

Also, I must say it is one of the most amazing apps I've come across. So useful! (Although the Navigon app I was testing did restart a few times on the Nook while I was driving and testing...)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] lightfire:
Was this answered?

Other questions:

Are folks just running this just with google maps or are you running different gps applications? If so, which ones? Any that only use gps and not agps?

And an almost unanswerable one but I can hope: Is anyone running this app on a Huawei IDEOS U8150?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] danger-rat:
I've used with CoPilot, and it's working perfectly so far...
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mtuckman:
Great app! Downloaded the lite version, gave it a try, and it was usable even with having to stop and restart the server widget every 5 minutes. Purchased it as soon as I walked back in the door, from the GPS guided drive I took! ;)

Only problem is this app ended up costing me $30 because I had to order a dash friction mount so I can mount the NC in my car!:D

Can't tell you the looks I got from other motorists when I was stopped at a light playing with it on my dash.:p

Well worth the money!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] tomtbone:
This works awesome! Only problem I have is that I can't buy it for some reason in the market. I get an error, and when I try and purchase it via market in the browser, it says I'm a fraudulent user! what the heck! anyone know how to contact google?!?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] lionclaw:
Version 1.1.0 is now on the market.

I added a config app that lets you specify the broadcast IP. You can specify the specific IP of the client if you don't want it to broadcast. There are also launcher buttons in the config app, and the added intent listeners should allow other apps to start and stop the client and server services.

Let me know if you guys have any other feature requests/suggestions or if you have any problems getting it to work properly.

What's in this version:

1.1.0

-Updated icons.

-Service is now terminated when widget is deleted.

-App should show up in market for more devices.

-Added launcher and config utility.

-Broadcast IP can now be specified manually.

-Added the following intent listeners:

com.comptonsoft.TGPS.START_SERVER

com.comptonsoft.TGPS.STOP_SERVER

com.comptonsoft.TGPS.START_CLIENT

com.comptonsoft.TGPS.STOP_CLIENT

-Added 90sec cool down to server to prevent abuse of intent listeners for lite version.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] tj!2k7:
Awesome! Can you provide a example of how an intent listener might be used in Tasker? Thanks!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] RoboRay:
I'm playing around with the Tasker trial right now and just figured that out. Never used it before, so I'm dealing with the learning curve. Anyway...

I first made a "Wifi Connected" Profile that activates whenever my NC is tethered to my phone. Then, I made a Task that turns the TGPS Client "on" using the "Action Intent" item under "Misc. Actions" with the "com.comptonsoft.TGPS.START_CLIENT" string in the Action box. I then added another Task to turn TGPS Client "off" the same way and assigned both Tasks as the "entrance" and "exit" actions for my "tethered" profile.

It works perfectly. I can watch the TGPS Client automatically start and stop as I connect and disconnect the wifi link!

Now I need to go buy Tasker, I guess...
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] khaytsus:
Get it from the market, you can use it on your phone and tablet that way. I purchased directly from him when he first put it up for sale, I wish I'd gotten it from the market so I could use it on multiple devices. Oh well.

Tasker is irreplaceable on my phone. So far I'm not finding any must-have need for it on the Tablet... yet.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] RoboRay:
Yeah, I probably will. I tried out the Manual Intent Shortcuts app, as my original idea was to have a dock item in Launcher Pro that turned TGPS on with a press and turned it off with a swipe, and that works, but I'm really digging the full automation Tasker offers for the process.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] sp1kez:
Can you add Bluetooth support
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] lionclaw:
If you really want to use TetherGPS over BT you could setup a BT PAN. Otherwise there are free BT GPS apps on the market.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] sixcoronas:
I can't get this to work. I have the paid version.

The server is running on my G2 and the client on my Nook with the latest CM. I get " Not receiving location!" on the Nook.

Do I need to install Nook Color Tools and enable mock locations?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] lionclaw:
You will need to enable mock location via system settings>applications>development, but that setting shouldn't keep the client from receiving location (only from properly setting it).

A few troubleshooting steps:

1. Check to make sure the phone is outside or near a window (somewhere it can get a good GPS signal).

2. Check to make sure the server is broadcasting the location (you should see "Broadcast: <broadcast ip>" in the server notification bar).

3. Check to make sure both the Nook and your phone are connected to the same network, or that your Nook is tethered to your phone.

4. Does the broadcast IP make sense? If your Nook's IP is 192.168.2.103 and you are using a /24 subnet, the broadcast IP should be 192.168.2.255. If necessary, you can specify a broadcast IP in the config app on the server. You can also specify the exact IP of the Nook if desired.

I've been playing around with CM7 on my Nook a lot the last week or two, and I love it, especially with the new tablet tweaks! But, there have been some frustrating WiFi issues. For the most part I manage to solve them by toggling WiFi on/off or airplane mode on/off.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] khaytsus:
The two devices MUST be on the same network. So you'd have to connect them both to the same access point, or tethering, or something.

And yes, Mock Locations must be on for it to function but it should run otherwise.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] azpatterson:
Using NC with CM7 stable 4-11-11. I tethered to iphone 3gs 4.3.1 (Jailbroke) running MyWi. I ran the google maps locator on the NC and it pinpointied me spot on at a place I never used Wifi before or anything. Just through the 3gs. So, I guess it is using the iphones gps.

Update: I was not using Tether GPS on the Nook.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] lionclaw:
I'm not aware of anything already on the nook that would do that. My guess is the nook was deriving its location from local wifi ssids, which isn't useful for much. Did you try driving around?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] khaytsus:
Just because you weren't there on wifi before doesn't mean Google wasn't ;) They have a large database of ESSID's correlated with GPS locations. Not sure where all of the data came from, but a lot of it from Street View collection.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] ragincajun97:
I have an issue that seems unique to this thread. When connected through my home network the GPS signal transmits from my phone and is received by my NC flawlessly but as soon as I tether them, the NC does not receive the location. I can use the internet on my NC while tethered so I do not believe there are any problems on that end. If I un-tether and connect both devices back through my home network the GPS signal is picked back up ny the NC. Any ideas? Thanks.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] lionclaw:
Do you have the server set to automatically choose the broadcast IP? When the server is running, check the server's notification bar and see what broadcast IP it's actually using.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] ragincajun97:
You led me in the right direction. I manually changed the broadcast IP to 192.168.2.255 instead of 192.168.0.255 which was the automatic channel. Problem solved. Thanks for taking the time to answer my post.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Bawb3:
that looks totally safe :P
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] reese.leblanc:
lionclaw,

Setup seems to work perfectly on my G2 running CM7 and my Nook running phiremod. I'll be purchasing the app in just a few minutes. Awesome work! Can't wait to see what else you come up with!
