I use my nab ib my car, my 85 camaro. Recently however, my car has been blowing a fuse that displays my speed. (digital dash) so to counter this problem, I've been using a gps speedometer app (I've used it before, cause my digital speedo maces at 85, and I need it to tell hore fast I'm going. (104 so far, on i5)
However, when using the speedometer app, I can obviously not use the nav. Is there any way to combine the two? Make the nav display the speed, or a third party nav system that does already?
Any advice or suggestions help.

Tried that. I'm over it anyway. I think I blew something else trying to fix it...

Hey fellow gamers. With the recent updates to psx4droid game compatibility has improved quite a bit imo. There are also a few more tweaking options in the settings.
I was wondering if anyone here has played around with them to find the most compatible settings, primarily metal gear solid. Most other games I play work great without changing any settings. Also any tips you might have as far as best kernal/rom combo that works well for you. I'm currently on serendipity 2.0 with the speedmod kernal.
Thanks for any *constructive* comments!

I've been playing around with PSX4Droid for quite a while now, and I have to say that while compatiblity has improved drastically with V2, speed has gone down significantly.
I'm running the latest Cognition Froyo build right now, and while FFVII, FFIX, Xenogears and Diablo all run with no glitches, they run extremely poorly.
Thanks for the response, have you tried changing the precise cdrom or cycle multiplier to see if anything improves? Playing Resident Evil 3 right now myself and it does very well, possibly due to the pre rendered backgrounds... Just wishing metal gear wasn't so choppy.

You know what, I just installed the latest Serendipity build today with Glitterball's OC/UV kernel, and FFIX runs absolutely perfectly now. It's actually pretty surreal. This has been the first time where I haven't had a single glitch.
The game will start with some audio lag, but it clears after a few minutes of gameplay. I would try Metal Gear for you, but I don't have an ISO handy. I'll convert my copy to an ISO when I have time and give it a shot.
edit: Yeah, I gave MGS a shot and it has quite a few audio problems, but gameplay is fairly playable. A lot more audio issues than most games I've tried though.
Wow, this sounds great. I'd love to play Gran Turismo on my phone!
I've actually read that disabling the music can speed it up on older phones, had no effect for me though perhaps I will swap a few different kernals and see if there is a considerable difference.

Glitterball's kernel probably works so well for me just because it's an OC/UV kernel. My Captivate's processor runs at 1.2ghz with it on.
Oh I have done my fair share of flashing lol usually twice a week if new stuff keeps coming out.
Anybody else having success with roms and or kernals?

Yep the latest version is running very nicely indeed although even OCed teken 3 is not quite there yet....not that you can really play it with onscreen controls (damn you Samsung for this Bluetooth) but as a performance measure.

I think those would work on any capacitive touchscreen device, so long as the touch buttons on the emulator are the right size for the joystick.
Yeah hopefully there are some for cheap..... I think it should work.

My navigation hasn't been working for a while.
I can get directions in maps and it sets a route ok. When I select navigate (either from app list or through maps) it hangs on 'getting driving directions'. I can see the data is active but then its not and the nav doesn't kick in.
What can I do to get it working as I use the feature (or used to) a fair bit?

That's useful thanks. But that isn't my problem. Gps fix is good on my handset. The problem is somewhere in the data transfer into the navigation app.

Actually I have the same problem. The phone is just saying getting route information,and then nothing happens. There is fine GPS connection, I can see my position on the map in the background, while its just stuck in the search. Could me very helpfully if someone have a explanation.

Make sure you aren't using a 3rd party rotation app such as 'Ultimate Rotation Control'
also please update to 4.1.1
Not a single issue here... Google accomplished project butter in my opinion...
You may have an issue with the Tablet...
You'll find that the best way to make your case is to take a video of it, so we don't have to rely on your word alone.

Trust me I wouldn't make this up. And your right but every time it happened I was no where near my phone. Yeah it was updated to 4.1.1. I've read a review in this thread about his not that smooth as well. I'd say download a few apps and try make it multi-task and let me know.

Who knows, you could have a defective unit. Probably not though, so maybe your best bet is keep your phone nearby for when it happens again. The only lag I'm willing to admit at this point is the stock keyboard and swiftkey, if you're a speedy typer. However, if you turn off "spell checker" (ridiculous that they haven't fixed it yet), then you should be fine.
No lag here, try a factory reset, i usually do a factory reset on all my new devices before setting them up.

My nexus 7 was lagging too, it was after i installed this one app. I uninstalled the app and it would still lag but only on the homescreen. I removed the play store media widget and the lag disappeared. I have about 8 widgets (constantly refreshing) and a live wallpaper and still lag free. If you still have that default media widget, try removing it.
Though I still see lag, mostly when im downloading apps or they're installing but once the app is done downloading/installiung the lag goes away. This same issue happens on pretty much every android device i've ever owned, even happens on my iphone so not a big deal.
I have this issue as well. The two times I noticed it I was browsing with chrome and the scrolling started to lag. I exited the app but I would still have lag throughout the device; it would also not recognize my touch all the time, I would have to click something multiple times. Not sure whats causing it.

I'm getting some lag too... Tomorrow I should receive my other unit from Google and ill try them both. It's sad cause my dual core nexus performs better
It lags because of the poor memory (poor i/o). This happened on the Transformer prime, the memory limited the device speed and lags when your either installing an app, uni stalling or transferring.
Also don't forget that especially on the first day tons of stuff gets synced in the background. When I setup my new devices the first day is almost laggy for some hours until all syncs are done.
Tegra devices doesn't have the greatest memory bandwith.

I been getting a lot of lag after playing any heavy game. N64oid Max Payne shadowgun gta3. I always have to reboot or the tablet is unusable. Its not really lag though its more like the touch screen only works 10 percent of the time you touch it until I reboot. Like if i try to drag an app around the desktop it just keeps dropping like I lifted my finger up. And it does it in any app after even if I kill all in memory. And I had mine since Friday its happened almost everytime.

Not seeing it here with Nexus 7 plugged into wall and switching between the built-in apps and also downloaded apps such Glow Ball, Soulcraft THD Beta, Google Voice, etc.
Are you guys seeing this with it running off of battery (possibly power profile/CPU throttling) or plugged in?
Hey
I go for long runs except I go random ways through woods etc so I don't get bored. So I wonder if anybody knows an app that will be able to tell me how far I have travelled using GPS and if possible even map my route?
I've only ever found apps that work on pre-determind routes. Which are useless for me.
I don't mind if it's paid or free, providing it works.
Thanks

Friend think that the routes in most maps are for urban areas to suburban areas (forests, mountains, etc.) is not mapped. The only thing you can do with GPS is to trace the route that you follow on a white background, for that you can use for example the application of nike + and using the offline option of google maps trace the route record in you
try sport tracker

Ok this has been going on before 4.3 came out. For some odd reason during navigation my maps doesn't drop down 45° when traveling. It stays facing straight down leaving me to rely on the arrows when making a turn. Also doesn't zoom in when I get close to a turn. I can't seem to figure out what happened. I've tested latest maps update with other HTC ones and other phones and it works just fine. I've tried uninstalling and clearing cache. Nothing.
