Yeah it is amazing but anyone who signs up has to wait for Beta 2 which they have not announced. I wish they would have designed the touch screen version buttons a bit bigger to assume you are using your fingers and not a stylus. But it is by far the best browser, nothing else comes close.

Seconded... not to mention that Skyfire is garbage since it won't connect to the server more frequently that 50/50.

and the point of thread is?? half of us here can't even get skywire and we all know from reviews that it is supposed to be a great browser.
thanks anyways for the redundant post.

I have been using it everyday for the past month, I have only lost connection once so far.
The point was referring people to go sign up for the beta, I don't see how that is worthless and people who don't know about Skyfire are never going to find it in a search.

I thank you for cluing me in to skyfire, had never heard about it till now. Will definitely be trying it out.
I would suggest ignoring the thread nazis. Seems they are eager to up their post count by pointing out redundant threads, but when real help is requested, they are nowhere to be found.
I still don't understand why threadspace on this forum is at such a premium that every time someone wants to discuss something they are clamped down.

It works really well on the Tilt over 3G, and watching videos works really well, a lot better than I expected.

Then you must not know how to read. Skyfire has been discussed here in great detail for the last several months.

You sir, are an idiot. What have you done to help anyone? All of your posts are either requests for help on issues with known solutions, or other meaningless posts.

Thread space (notice I didn't make the same grammatical error as you) is not at a premium here. However, when someone does not search before creating a new thread, they contribute to making the search function less "functional".
Take Skyfire as an example. You said you had never heard of it before this thread, so you don't see this as a redundant thread. But... if the OP had done a search for "Skyfire" before creating this thread, he would have found the others, been able to post in them, and then it would have gotten moved up near the top of the forum since it had a new post in it!
I'll admit that some of my posts are nonsensical; but I have helped enough people on this site to entitle myself to the occasional raspberry post.

Skyfire does not rock. I can't even watch videos on youtube. The advertisement showed a video of a basketball court. The vid played perfect. I have yet to match that on my phone. Youtube vids play with the lipsync effect. I barely use it. Anyway many threads made about this topic.

Be patiant, it was the same way for me at first, and now the videos play flawlessly for me. Also videos play better using WiFi.

@ notatriofan
LOL, you make me lauff.
Not knowing about something, I wouldn't have known to search for it. And since, obviously by my join date, I've only been here days, not months, I would not have seen a buried thread about it.
And, if you are such an expert on my posts, you would have read exactly where I have helped someone, even after only being here 2 days, and without berating them for asking.
Gotta love this place. hehe
Thanks again for the skyfire heads-up!

Has it been discussed several times over the last couple of days? He specifically said he's only been for a few days. Ease up on the espressos there, I seriously don't think I've ever seen a brand new user get ridiculed for thanking someone for helping them. Ouch.

Wooot just got accepted to use Skyfire beta!

I was sitting here, deleting SMS messages from my inbox, when I got a SMS from skyfire, telling me that I can create an account and download the browser now.
haha ive been waiting for this!

Skyfire is a nice browser. I would in the future though, post in topic that was already started as to keep these 1337 bastards happy.

Didn't mean to get you pissed over something online.

I guess it has been awhile since I have been on, so excuse my outburst. That would be annoying, though I think that some people (NotaTreoFan) take it a little to far when they bash people for these kind of topics. (And Treo, if you are reading this, I know you have not been involved in this thread, you just came to mind) In all honesty I think they need to create a "Social" board, but that is just me.

LOL I got mine yesterday its alright I guess the only time I can get it to work is after 10PM or so and on wi-fi cant get it to work at all over a data connection.

What did I do this time? I didn't start the bashing until other people started their $h!t. If you check my post in the thread your are referring to, I tried to stop by saying that I was done before it causes bad blood and gets personal. When a random a55h0l3 decided to continue the attacks, then he brought it upon himself.

What is the difference between this ans Thunderhawk?

Navigation in US now available!! AndNav2 for USA!

AndNav2
There is a new version of AndNav available for Android. Here's a video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOfKpjEpRa8

Looks good but from what I can tell, maps aren't going to be the greatest.

At least there will be a decent alternative to using the google maps which require an internet connection. Sometimes I just want to use the GPS without the additional expense.

Just tested on 6.0r1 rom, seems to be working great: http://www.andnav.org/index.php/en/community-forum?task=viewtopic&id=292&p=5
Make sure you donate some money to these guys...they've done a lot of work and delivered something great to the community!

Awesome news ! Been waiting for this myself.

so whens the server gonna be up for free navigation?

i just went to the site and they havent release it for US yet.

It's kind of on the down low right now while they make sure all the kinks are worked out of the new server. I've been playing with is since yesterday and it's looking pretty sweet.
No, I'm not going to post a link. If you're really interested you should be able to find it on their site and I don't want to encourage the overloading of their new server. I'm sure once they make it a bit more public the news will be all over.

Where are you suppose to put the Tilepack? I searched and unzipped it into mapnik folder, this took around 1:20min I was wondering if that is normal? Also after doing so I have had no luck with the program it runs smoothly but I cannot get a route loaded no matter what... please help the newb

1. Yes moving the map tiles takes a long time depending on how detailed they are.
2. Ask this question in the AndNav forum where the development is happening

I've been using it a bit since yesterday as well. It works, but there is a lot of communication between the G1 and their servers to make things work.
Look in the downloads area for Trek buddy it creates a lot of the map packs. Tiles.
The site is kinda scattered so I would look around in the forum and yes you do have to be a member to see links.

Andnav. Sorry about the confusion

Just wondering about the forum's Index page...

it's not alphabetize like Wallaby is the first then Blue Angel, etc...
so how are they arranged? is it by released date? good-better-best?

EDIT: wrong information, sorry

im pretty sure the sedna was released before the blackstone so i don't think ur right orb3000
ill ask around

To tell the truth I have no idea, Flar decides the order where new forums are inserted.
From what I've observed over the years, she try and keeps similar devices together to make it intuative to find similar phones, but I'm not sure on the exact criteria (and if it stays the same each time a new forum is added ).
Dave

As long as it stays in the current sequence, then most of us can find are way around

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSINO6MKtco
Mike
.. also reminds me of those guys that ask "what is the best ROM for my HTC Kangaroo... er Wallaby thingy"
oh and to the OP who said "Just wondering about the forum's Index page"; all I can say is, that's good because you are meant to wander about the forum's index page.

HE-Larry-US!
That is an AWESOME YouTube clip. I work in an Electronics store so it was particularly relevant to me.
I think the Index page will just be an XDA-Developers mystery. We can all contemplate the meaning of the Index page and come to our own conclusions, and make religions trying to explain it. All the while trying to make sense of it and praying that when your new device comes out it isn't stuck right in the middle somewhere causing you to always scroll around.
I for one am curious, but at this point I think I'd rather not even know IF there is a formula for device placement.

thanks guys!
now i'm really confused.

One thing I want to do is in my forum have a developers section. Each dev can have there own section of the forum as a moderator. something like this:
Devlepoers:
____Dev1
________Version 1 app
________Version 2 app
____Dev2
____Dev3
That way, if you like a dev who doesn't have a site, you can just jump on the forum and go to the dev section and see everything they have created. Little better then sifting threw tons of pages looking for the newest ver of something, or maybe just want to see what else they have developed.
it also has a one spot access for devs to see what other dev have made and maybe incorporate into a rom ect.
