1Cast in the Android Market
Phil,
First of all, the 1Cast application is geo-locked within the United States. It cannot be downloaded by anyone outside of U.S. borders.
If you're within the U.S. the application can be found several ways:
Android Market "Featured" section:
1. open the android market
2. scroll the top list of application icons until you see the orange circle with a '1' in the center.
3. select and download
The 'News & Weather' category:
1. open the android market
2. scroll down and choose 'applications'
3. scroll down and choose 'News and Weather'
4. scroll down and choose '1Cast'
4. select and download
Use 'Search' to find 1Cast (best method):
1. open the android market
2. scroll down and choose 'search'
3. type in 'onecast', or '1cast'
4. list populates with only the 1Cast application
5. select and download
If you have any further inquires please contact us at [email protected]
1CAST
Apologies 1CAST is currently available only in the U.S.
Curious how you heard about our service, and what you are seeking in an application capable of organizing video from news, sports, and entertainment sources? Happy to help in any way!

Is there any way we can add balloons to add landmarks and edit our own location? It'll be really nice. So far I've tried but couldn't seem to add my own landmarks.

Yes, im also find the google maps app a pain. It lacks the drop pin function in iphone.
However here are the workaround steps you can do to make custom location points on your map. (you need google account)
1. Long press on the location, until a popup menu appears.
2. Press it will open a dialog, there should be a star, click to starred the location.
3. Now, to rename the location, go to www.google.com/bookmarks on your browser
(i use overskreen, so i can have maps app and the browser running at the same time)
4. All your starred location is there, click on edit and change to your custom name.
5. It takes awhile to sync on your device.

Thanks a ton man. AT least I can mark some important spots...
Not sure who this will or will not be of use to but I wrote a little script to import directions from Google Maps on my N4 to my truck.
This is an automation macro that runs on your computer to process the location info sent from your phone and imports it into OnStar.
Here's how to set it up:
1. Install and log in to Dropbox on your computer and your phone.
2. Install Firefox and the iMacros Firefox add-on on your computer.
3. Login to OnStar.com with Firefox on your computer and check the "Remember Me" box.
4. Run the attached program which will install a background monitor app and handle your imports.
When you're ready to send a location to your vehicle go to your phone and do this:
1. Click Share.
2. Share to Dropbox.
3. Make sure you're in the top folder in your Dropbox and click Upload.
4. Leave the file name as the default "myfile.txt" and click OK.
5. Wait about 1 minute for processing to complete.
6. In your vehicle press the OnStar hands-free calling button and say "Virtual Advisor"
7. OnSar will inform you that you have one saved destination named "Android Destination" and ask if you'd like directions there. Say yes.
Done. Your vehicle is now routing you to your destination.
Here's a video of the computer side scripts running if you want to see it run.
Let me know what you think and if anyone actually find this useful.
Back in Nov. 2018, the BBC News app (1.3.4) finally stopped working. Here's a browser-based replacement similar to my Google News app.
The BBC News website gives access to a considerable number of RSS feeds, likely much of the source of the old "carousel" of stories in the now-defunct app. My app collects the information from the RSS feeds of your choice and assembles them into a series of HTML pages suitable for Opera Mobile (see attached images below). It turns out that the actual BBC News website is pretty friendly to Opera Mobile, although--of course--a little slow, so any stories you choose to pursue are very readable. NoRefresh is nice.
Requirements
1. Android 2.1 has a security issue with opening local HTML files. In order for BBC News to work properly you need to address that. Included in the zip below is a tiny app, android-open-in-browser-0.0.4-4-debug. Install that. It's not my app but I have used it for years and wish I could credit the originator.
2. This is a Tasker-generated app. If you already have one of my other Tasker-generated apps or have previously installed GApps, you don't need the two Google maps library files included in the zip and can delete them. If you do need them, copy the two files into the locations shown below:
/system/etc/permissions/com.google.android.maps.xml
/system/framework/com.google.android.maps.jar
Set permissions for both files to rw-r--r-- and reboot. Without these files resident, the app will not install.
3. Create a folder in the root directory of your sdcard: BBC News (exactly as shown)
4. Install the app itself, BBC_News.1.apk
How to use
Before you run the app you need to select some news categories. You can get the feed URLs from the BBC News RSS page linked earlier. Only part of the URL is used in the file bbc_rss_feeds.txt. Here is the file as I have supplied it in the attached zip:
Code:
<cat>World</cat>
<url>/news/world/rss.xml</url>
<cat>US & Canada</cat>
<url>/news/world/us_and_canada/rss.xml</url>
I've just used two example feeds. You can see that the first line in each pair is a news category name (don't use names with "." in them). The second line in each pair is the last part of the RSS feed URL from the BBC News site. Be sure to edit out the first part of the URL or the app will not work. You can, of course, choose other/additional categories. Just follow my example. When the file is complete, copy it to the "BBC News" folder on your SD card.
Now you're good to go. Start the app, make sure you're connected to WiFi. There are only three buttons on the app screen. The first one, "Fetch the news" does just that. You will see a little toast that the first news category is being prepared. Once that is done, you will be taken to the browser and that page will open. Meanwhile the remaining pages are being downloaded and reconstructed in the background.
The news page is very simple. I tried to aim for readability over all other considerations (this is the reason the news items are in bold black, even though they are the external links). I have my Opera Mobile set to 100% page zoom. It looks good to me, but you could probably get away with 75%. External websites are another matter. At the title bar left is a drop-down menu button that gives you access to your other news topics. Since no fixed navbar schemes work under Android 2.1, there is a duplicate drop-up menu bar at the end of the page.
Edit: you cannot use this app with Opera Mini. It lacks the ability to open local HTML files.
The second option on the opening screen, "Read old news" sounds a bit daft, but I just thought maybe someone might have been looking at the topic pages, saw something that interested them and then got interrupted. So this option opens the first local file in the browser again and you can navigate from there. Strictly speaking, WiFi is not needed to browse the local files once they have been created, but it is needed to pursue any stories.
The third option simply dismisses the app screen.
Enjoy!

If you've taken a look at my BBC News app and then decided it just wasn't worth the hassle negotiating the BBC News website (what's with the keyboard opening and closing as the pages load?!), this new approach might be for you. BBC News Reader is an app for offline reading. No visits to the BBC News website at all!
How it works
On the front end, this app is the same as the BBC News app. You select some RSS feed topics and simple, clean HTML pages are generated for your browser with the various news items. That's where the similarities end. The new app then downloads the pages corresponding to the news stories, extracts just the article text, assembles clean, new pages and saves them to your SD card. Voila! You can read the news offline--anywhere.
Limitations
Well, it takes awhile... I have four news topics and it takes about 5 minutes to fetch and process everything. So maybe you run this while you're fixing your breakfast (or taking a shower). To make the time as short as possible, I have also limited the stories to the current date. If you've looked at the RSS feeds you know that things tend to accumulate and languish, especially in the less active feeds. After awhile items become history rather than news. So, just the current date. Also, you get no pictures (or videos you cannot play anyway). News items that refer to a page with just a video will have a very short text description so you'll know there's something missing. Items which are photo collections will have a list of captions. But everything looks good without any extraneous stuff. Unlike my local newspaper where each page seems to be assembled by a different monkey on a different medication, the BBC News pages are uniform and predictable. So far. Note that you cannot use this app with Opera Mini. It lacks the ability to open local HTML files.
Requirements
1. Android 2.1 has a security issue with opening local HTML files. In order for BBC News Reader to work properly you need to address that. Included in the zip below is a tiny app, android-open-in-browser-0.0.4-4-debug. Install that. It's not my app but I have used it for years and wish I could credit the originator.
2. This app utilizes cURL, a Linux utility, to bypass SSL checks and enable our aging device to download from the BBC News site. You must install cURL on your NST. Download the zip file (below), unzip and follow the directions to install cURL. Reboot.
3. This is a Tasker-generated app. If you already have one of my other Tasker-generated apps or have previously installed GApps, you don't need the two Google maps library files included in the zip and can delete them. If you do need them, copy the two files into the locations shown below:
/system/etc/permissions/com.google.android.maps.xml
/system/framework/com.google.android.maps.jar
Set permissions for both files to rw-r--r-- and reboot. Without these files resident, the app will not install.
4. Create a folder in the root directory of your sdcard: BBCNews (exactly as shown, no spaces)
5. Install the app itself, BBC_News_Reader_1_3.apk
How to use
Before you run the app you need to select some news categories. You can get the feed URLs from the BBC News RSS page. Only part of the URL is used in the file bbc_rss_feeds.txt. Here is the file as I have supplied it in the attached zip:

You can, of course, choose other/additional categories. Just follow my example. When the file is complete, copy it to the "BBCNews" folder on your SD card.
Note: if you have a copy of this file already because you have been using the original BBC News app, just copy the old file.
Now you're good to go. Start the app, make sure you're connected to WiFi. There are only three buttons on the app screen (screenshot below). The first one, "Fetch the news" does just that. The interface will disappear and eventually you will see a toast near the bottom of the screen telling you that the news is being prepared in the background. Once that is done, a second interface appears (screenshot below) with the options to either read the news or dismiss the interface. If you choose "read", your browser will open with the first news category. At the title bar left is a drop-down menu button that gives you access to your other news topics. Since no fixed navbar schemes work under Android 2.1, there is a duplicate drop-up menu bar at the end of the page. If you choose "dismiss" it's all done until you start the app again at which time you would select "read the news". No WiFi connection needed since the files are on your SD card.
