At the risk of sounding like a complete nerd...Forza app request

There's a very good tuning calculator out for Forza 3 that's been written as a flash file. Does anyone know how difficult it would be to make this into an app?

From reading on Forza forums others have requested the same thing since it's currently an app for the iphone. I have a feeling it would be pretty popular.

We're all nerds! This would be kind of cool. I just bought Forza 3 and playing it little by little. Still trying to figure out everything I can do.

This might be something I'd be able to develop, I've been playing with the Android SDK and looking for an idea for an application that would be useful but not too difficult for a first real project.
I'm not totally sure how Feuerdog feels about derivative works, it looks like he's ok with them, but I'll probably PM him first to ask, just in case.
No promises, but I'll look into it.

Sounds good! I remember reading a thread where someone asked him about an app for the droid, he didn't have the desire to do it himself but was receptive to the idea of someone else doing it. I looked and looked but couldn't find the thread again.

I've talked with Feuerdog, and he's completely open with the use of his calculations for any type of implementation, so I have the green light from him.
I'll play around with prototyping some of the UI and calculations, see what I can come up with. I'll probably work on getting the math working first, then making it pretty second, since an ugly functional app still does something useful!

and if you could also find me a way to view my leaderboards from my phone you would be my hero im in the top 100 in the world for AWD drifting

Just an FYI there's an app on the market now, ForzaDroid by Thomas Weitzel. Works perfectly and looks like it's using Feuerdog's formulas. Results match up perfectly with the output of the flash application.

Looks like it's the same short of app I was going to be making, glad to see there's one already out there. I'll put mine on hold and not worry about it unless there are problems with ForzaDroid

MT3g Fender Music apk

Is it ture the the MT3G Fender has a new music .apk and if so can some one post it up...?

I have the Fender Mytouch coming in the mail. its the first android device i'll have ever used so i dont know how to extract files from it. if its anything like WinMo, im sure i can figure it out, but in case i can't it would be great if someone to give me a quick tutorial.
I want to get everything i can off this new phone and get it up here.

It's nothing like winmo,I had a touch hd and when I changed to magic I bricked it cos I thought it was like win mo. Android will let u flash the wrong thing thus bricking.
Read up like mad and make sure you quadruple check everything! But you will love android!

I downloaded it from one of the devs on twitter... it wont install on any rom i have tried though so it seems useless

could always ask a dev to work theyre magic? they managed to port hero keyboard for us by removing some stuff?

Any news on this?

i wasnt able to firgure out how to do it. if it means anything, though, i dont even use the default music app. its a little slow and kinda bland looking. meridian is better.

8pen?

Has anyone had any luck with this? When I try it, it doesn't input any text. I've chosen the correct input method, set the keyboard, etc. No luck. How about you guys?

Too bad they want money for it.

It took me like 5 while minutes to figure it out. You will get it, just read the instructions a few times

They should've released a beta or something and then a couple months later start charging for it. This way people will get used to using the board and want to buy it. Like what SwiftKey did. I don't think the curiosity factor, alone, is enough for people to buy it. Especially since you can uninstall it in 24 hours to get a full refund.

It seems like a joke app to me. Hey lets make some ridiculous new way to enter text. People like swype, so they'll probably like anything weird and different.... but on the off chance no one likes it - lets make a pay only version - so people pay for it before they realize it actually sucks.
maybe that's just me being cynical - but swype is genuinely novel. I fail to see how this is better then the stock keyboard.

Obviously, but keep that to yourself. No one needs the trouble here from spreading that around.

So I tried 8pen. I'm actually typing this using it. I don't see it ever being as fast as swype but I can definitely see its usefullness with one hand typing and not being able to look at the screen. But the amount of time you'd have to spend memorizing all the patterns to the point you don't have to look at what you're doing would be insane.

I like it. All you have to do is memorize where the letters are, same as a normal keyboard. It seems plenty fast to me. There are a few glitches in the auto complete and some other things but overall it is a good alternative to a tiny keyboard if that is what you need or are looking for.

Any idea why I can't find this in the market? When I search there are no results. I can't find Swype in the market either.

I never can find Swype in the market either but 8pen comes up fine, maybe wait a day and look again.
I do kind of like the visible pop up it has now, but its still nowhere near as fast as my stock Sense keyboard. Then again, I can almost totally type one-handed and blind, so there you go. Now that its free, I say go get it and play with it,can't hurt.

swype is not generally available, so it's not in the market for any phone.
its still in beta (seems perpetually), and only comes pre-installed on some phones.

I'm using 8pen now and I really like it. I have these massive dumb hands and I could never get the hang of typing with those tiny keys. It works a dream for me. Even if it is a "novelty."

will SPB Shell 3D work on XOOM?

Will spb work on the xoom?
That would be sweet!!

No, it says "device not supported" after it flashes the desktop for a second.
Looks good for that split second though.

Pretty sick interface, might grab it for tmy Thunderbolt

Despite the missing options (which I'm sure will come eventually) I loved it on my thunder bolt. I had to uninstall though as it was raping my already fragile battery.
Looking forward to running it on my xoom though and hopefully my tbolt again if they can make it suck less juice.

Thanks, I will probably reconsider the purchase. Love the bolt but the battery could be better.

Did you guys not install it from the market, or did you just ignore the release notes? It states that tablets aren't supported.

Thats wierd. I see no changes in battery life with SPB launcher on my NexusS running CM7 rom.

I have SPB shell for my DroidX and I can verify that it does not install on my Xoom. I tried side loading and adb install and both times the installation failed. I think the 3D shell would look great on the Xoom but overall, I find the functionality pretty poor compared to the free launchers out there. I bought it on an impulse and I'll keep it in case a tablet version is released but once you start to configure it, it really is lacking in functionality.

It seems to be working on mine...
I didn't install from the market and I will send the apk if you want.
I loaded it on my N1 last night and it promptly quit working after it couldn't find a market purchase, so disable all data before installing the apk. Supposedly the app checks the market every hour until it can confirm a receipt, and I heard there is a command line you can send via adb to disable it from further checking, but I haven't seen it yet.

I heard that it is horrible. Lags and no scrollable widgets?

The widgets worked fine for me, but the graphics sucked ass. It just doesn't flow as smoothly as I wanted. Even SPB MS 3.5 on my Rhodium is smoother!

yeah I just tried the newer version on my zoom and it does work. Not very good though. Wallpaper is horribly pixelated as are the Widgets. Animations aren't smooth and no landscape amongst other issues. Hopefully they release a honeycomb version at some point.

Well let's see if their Tablet UI concept materializes in the not too distant future.
Now this is something I may pay for.

Damn that's awesome. The pinching home screen would be real slick!

It looked slick over a year ago for Android Phones (the one just released) as well and it does not seem to deliver. It is easy to make an animation of what you would like something to be. Not trying to be negative but I have already seen this before with the Android Phones version long ago. I used SPB Mobile shell on Windows Mobile and it was awesome. But I do not think they are getting it with Android.

Thread cleaned up. Please do not advocate or ask for warez, or it will result in an infraction or ban. Thank you,

did anybody got this working on they tablet, i going crazy to get it on my phone there is the tablet option.

SPB on Xoom
I purchased 1.5.1 for my HTC Desire, and, of course, attempted to install on my Xoom. No go. Install worked fine, but wouldn't home switch.
I had, however, previously installed a 1.2.?, and it worked great, until I had to hit home button again, in which case it wouldn't allow me to select SPB as my launcher. I have to say, the outlay was fantastic, along with the eye candy and the overall slickness of it. It was great.
I REALLY hope they mod this for the tablets!

I can't remember how I got this to work but it wasn't easy and it looked lame... has to be default launcher.. prepare for some soft bricks.

Yes, it works beautifully. To use it you have to have it on phone first, backup app in astro, and then put the apk on your Xoom. The latest version (1.5.1) works more smoothly than stock.

Graphing Calculator App?

Sorry if starting a new thread isn't exactly appropriate. I wasn't certain what to search for, but I was wondering if there was a graphing calculator app that could run on our Nooks, similar to the stock calculator on CM11. That would be convenient for my Algebra work. Thanks!

I'll look around a bit more, but I haven't had any luck on this before. I've been looking for an app ike this since I started Algebra 1 last year.
Algebra 2 is great, isn't it?

If only WabbitEmu worked on 2.1. That would be almost perfect.
As for Algebra 2, it's an okay class when you have a good teacher... In my class, about ten people almost failed until they decided a D to a 0.5. And now this quarter that's not happening and alongside passing, we have to also make a 2.0 GPA to stay in the school (since it's a magnet school). Also, it's kinda funny how we keep running into each other today, wouldn't you agree?

Well, I'm homeschooled, so Algebra 2 is taught by my mom/a computer program, and it's super fun and easy for me.
Definitely funny - especially considering we're around the same age.

Ive actually had a bit of luck with Andie Graph(just had to get the roms through other means online) and it runs pretty nicely on the eink screen

Great, I'll give it a go!
Just because I'm lazy, would you post the .apk? You can find it in /data/app.

I would, if I still had it installed Its from the google play store, it shouldnt be that bad to download it there

Wow! That app is better than sliced bread
Back in the day I used to run the Virtual TI on my laptop to show students what I was talking about and to run various lab instruments for demo purposes. I don't imagine I could do that with this app but I bet it would run an isotope half-life simulation I wrote for the calculator. Gotta try and dig that up just for fun.
Thanks for mentioning the app!

True, but not true - I don't have Play installed and don't want to go through all the trouble of downloading multiple wrong-version .apks from the Internet. That's why it'd be great if you could post the .apk.

I don't have my Nook in front of me now, so I can't tell you version compatibility, but I got it on my phone. I have posted the *.apk here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ro0q5bwua4xyxkr/net.supware.tipro-1.apk?dl=0
For legal reasons, I can't include the ROM image of course, but you can find it elsewhere. It is suggested to pull it straight from a real calculator, but mine's an NSpire with an 84 keypad, which doesn't allow you to image the 84 ROM for some reason, and the images from TI's website don't work, so I'm at a loss with this app.

Okay, I'll try that link.
Kind of lost on the other stuff

So I got the chance to load Andie on my Nook (the version in my Dropbox works). Works like a charm! Attached are some pics. As far as obtaining a ROM goes, you can get WabbitEmu (on a newer device of course) and use that to compile a ROM (I think the 83 Plus is the newest that Andie supports). From there, extract it from /data/user/0/com.Revsoft.Wabbitemu/cache/ (the file should be named "calculator name.ROM) and copy it to the Nook's SD card (anywhere is fine as long as it's on the card).
