For all the people asking about GPS I just found a program that called google maps it is sorta like google earth. I loaded it on my phone turned it on and it found my exact location. You can do direction with it as well. I have not driven with it yet but it looks awesome. I'm not sure if it comes with the voice while driving either. just thought I would throw it out there for anyone looking for a GPS program.
sorry

I have been using google for a long time, very nice... i like to start it in aerial mode, connect with gps, zoom in as much as i can.
I have also used live maps before, but i don't understand the "turn by turn" directions, is this gps-like? or just the regular directions from point a to point b?

It is always good to discover something new and exciting, and I'm sure some folks have not yet discovered Google Maps.
Just a word of advice though - before creating a new thread consider two things:
1
Has it been discussed already? I used the search button and look what I found - http://www.google.com/cse?cx=000825531964825142534%3Acqr2sjirilw&q=google+maps&cof=FORID%3A0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
2
Am I on the correct forum? i.e. Does this discovery of mine apply to more than one phone - if yes then the General Forum will be better than a specific device forum.
So given there are one or two other threads on this, I'll close this one, 'cos it'll spoil the fun of the sarcasm merchants above
Enjoy Google Maps

AndNav2
There is a new version of AndNav available for Android. Here's a video:

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.

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.

What you're looking for is a way to spoof your callerId. So far no one has written an app to do that for the windows mobile platform - although there is one for both the iphone and blackberry..grrrrr
I know there are services you can use to do this - like spoofcard or something like that...but if I remember right they call charge you by the minute ....
Would be nice if someone would write such an app.....
ok i know that the app exist for the windows causei had it for the dash it was awesome... i know it has to be somewhere ou here i got it here orginally...
isn't the dash a smartphone maybe its they don't have a pocket pc version..... not sure though
can someone confirm a working app for windows mobile? sounds interesting
Hmm, sounds like an interesting feature. I didn't realize such things were possible. I also heard that the Nokia E71 had the ability to see who the person you're calling is talking to (if the number you're calling happens to be busy). Strange that such functions aren't available on WM.
Anyway, the T-Mobile Dash is a WM5.0 phone, so I would think that there is, indeed, a Windows Mobile software that can do this (at the very least, it exists in the phone).
Theoretically speaking, one would be able to pull the software out of the OS, right?
Interesting - because I have searched high-and-low for such software for Windows Mobile and I haven't not seen one - so if one truely exists I'd like to see it.
If the guy that supposedly had it on his dash - do you still have the phone? if so I can walk you though how to copy it off that phone so it can be put on another.
Anyway I haven't seen such an app - I gotta see it.
sorry took so long had a long ass day of werk but yeah... i dont have the dash anymore it got burned up in a bar b q gone wrong.... but yeah i actualy got the sotware from a friend he said he found it here on the xda developer site... but thn again i have also searched high n low here and have found nothing... i tried google... but i think i keep asking for the wrong thing.... but yeah i would give anything for that again it was great used to call my boss n he always though i was in my office... plus its fun to mess aorund with frineds.. lol but yeah i also read up on that what was posted earlier about being able to see who the other person is talking to to ... but it was all very sketchy....
ok got more info is a caller id Spoofer see if anyone else can find anything interesting...
As unfortunate as it is, I think that the app has been lost with your BBQ Dash. I have tried searching up and down Google and XDA-Developers and while quite a few interesting apps has appeared under my radar, no caller ID spoofing software appears to exist. Well, at least not for Windows Mobile anyway as I'm sure anyone doing a similar search will know.
However, some bit of good news: I found something that may be satisfactory enough. Some of you may have seen this, but the service is called 'Bluff My Call'. It is a paid service, but you are allowed to make a free spoofed call so long as it is under two minutes.
Here is the link: http://bluffmycall.com/free/
The company has developed an app to use the service, but unfortunately, it's only for BlackBerry and iPhone. This means that the only way for Windows Mobile users to use the service is through the Internet. Is it possible to do it through your phone's Internet browser? Maybe, but I haven't tried.
Furthermore, the ability to mask your voice and record the call is not allowed without an account. The latter is not important since recording software exists, but the lack of voice masking is pretty disappointing.
Sorry guys, but this looks like the best we got.

That's interesting - because I've never seen such an app like that posted on this site - and I'm sure I probably would of noticed.
Any chance you can get a hold of yer friend that gave it to you in the first place? Perhaps he still has an install for it or at least the actual name of the thing?
Check your state laws as I know in my state of Louisiana, spoofing your caller ID is now illegal here.
anyone got anything on this yet?!
I'm still keeping an eye out too. If I find one I'll post to this thread - but the moment such an application for WM simply does not exist.
yea, hopefully someone comes up with something...if another phone is able to have it..i dont see wut the problem is to get it to winmobile
If I am reading this correctly, the OP is looking for basically a WM VOIP app that runs thru one of the Caller ID spoofing websites. One is not actually making a voice call thru their own service provider.
I know that my data plan prohibits doing VOIP, but as with anything, penalties depend on getting caught.

WHY would you download and install something if you don't know what it does? Sort of like the "here eat this and tell me if it tastes bad to you" mentality.
Ask questions FIRST. Not after.

Actually he did know WHAT the program does, he simply doesn't know how to use it. Give him a break.
Now as per the program, if anyone has a Dash or any other Windows Mobile device with this capability please post on this thread and we will help you help the community by making a copy of it from your phone.
Very new to root and roms. I upgraded to 4.0.1 very soon after having 3.6.8.1.
What are some of the neat things you can do? What settings have you changed? I JUST found out that there was another keyboard other than the android touch.
I did not know where this was appropriate and did not want to junk up cyans rom thread. Hope this is okay and apologies if its not. Just want to know what other cool features I am missing out on, and to also see what settings people roll with.

Best way to get the whole story is to compare the changelog of 3.6.8.1 to 4.0.1 which is available in their respective threads. One thing that was cool was the global search function from donut but that go reverted in 4.0.1. It will probably make an appearance in the 4.x.x experimental series however.....
I should clarify, I did not have 3.6.8.1 long enough to find all the easter eggs either. What settings do you change or things do you use after flashing his rom?

Hey DirectMatrix is this going to be another thread like yesterday.
yeah i'd also like to know.. im also new to the art of the root.. i also have my own questions
i know the myfaves app doesnt work, in fact doesnt even appear lol, but the actual myfaves service still works right?
and do the im apps work? im talking about the native one. it doesnt seem to be working for me =/
also, i want my settings optimized for overall speed.. what do you guys use for this?

You don't want the mygayes app on your phone anyways, its just a hog. It still does work, if you need to set it up just go to your online account and do it.
What native im app are you talking about, its been to long since I had the factory rom installed. But I can vouch for aim and googletalk do work.
If you are on Cyanogens rom everything should be optimized to full speed.
yeah i never used the myfaves thing to begin with, thats why when i heard its gone if you root, i didnt really care lol. plus i was already planning on getting rid of the whole service anyway. but thanks!
im talking about the one that comes with the phone. has aim, msn, and yahoo. i try logging but it just endlessly keeps saying "signing in..". im not sure if i just have to wait, or if its not working.
awesome!

Point taken...my appologies...Supreme and I like to keep things lighthearted and have some fun. I'm sure I speak for him when I say we both apologize for offending you.
To answer your question....I was pretty much being completely serious about reading the change logs and comparing. That's where I get most of my info but as far as settings go, I second someone else's poste about the badass power widget. I also like the 5 homescreen options, the logcollector app is nice for troubleshooting, the fact that the buld.prop file has been changed slightly means that the new version of "My Account" runs properly without any futzing around, and playing around with the text app is fun because of the mms enhancements courtesy of rgv151.
Many of the other enhancements that make cyan's ROMs awesome are behind the scenes that just make it run faster (kernel tweaks, CPU scaling etc). These have no options available to the user, they just are part of the build that contribute to cyanoganized awesomeness.

Just like Direct said we ain't tryna make fun or nothing. We do help out alot, but after a long boring day of programming at work we got to do something fun to help pass time away. And hey we really didn't even joke around unlike the other thread. Best thing to do is just play around with the phone, try out all the apps, play with the settings, and just explore. Like Direct said alot of things are behind the scenes.

Stephen Fry had it on his iphone when he was on topgear a few months back. I am looking for something similar but not focused on a particualr sex.

There's one thats called gfinder or something similar. I'll try and find the exact name unless someone else can chime in.
When I first went into the t-mobile store to check out the g1, they showed me something similiar to what you are asking but the downfall was that other g1 users had to opt in to use it. For some reason I thought it was part of the original cupcake software
Now that I checked, it is right in google maps, called latitude
latitude
Does latitude have general people on it or do you have to add friends before you can use it ???
It's friends only.

You have to add friends but the gfinder or gfindster just see's everyone, but of course they would have to have the app installed. I used it a long time ago and didn't think much of it. While looking that up I saw another app called loopt that looks like the same thing, I could be wrong tho.
Latitude works for everybody. Not just G1 users. It uses your Gmail account to send request to other people who have to accept you and allow you to see where they are at and chat and stuff. Works nicely, but you have to know their e-mail address to get them added.
So, no you can not find random people with G1's to connect with. I don't know if there is an app that will allow that, but Latitude will not.
I believe you have to opt in to use it, general people on there and since it requires your gps to use, I don't think that you will find any one using except for the most basic users that are unaware that turning off the gps saves you some serious battery life
Aight I just looked it up and its call GFindster PREMIUM but they also have a lite version.
Hmmm, seems like the salesman at t-mobile gave me the wrong info then but since I never used it, I was baseing my info on inacurate info, sorry

No your right cause they was pushing the whole latitude thing. But GFindster is just a seperate app that looks up anyone without having them listed as friends.
thankyou
Thankyou you all for your help I will check out the gfindster app and see how it goes.
you should also check out buddymob
shows where all users are on a map around you and you can click on their little dot (pink for women, blue for guys) and it will show you their profile without having to be their friend
