Sonar CE - Does it work?

This program is so cool - I love stuff like this that uses your hardware in new inventive ways.
This program sends out chirps then records as they bounce back - measuring the time and therefore the distance to an obstruction. So it's basically a pocket sonar!

Unfortunately I can't seem to get any results on my Kaiser. Everything appears to work okay with the exception of putting results on the screen.
From the support page:
"If the device uses for playing and recording the same speaker or for some construction reasons the output and input uses the same connections the program will not work. It needs separate lines for input and output."
I don't know if that is the case with our Kaisers, but I really hope there is a way to get this working.
Here's a link if you're willing to try it out: http://www.eddiem.com/nerds/tiki-index.php?page=Sonar CE

Doesn't work on my Tilt, either. Pretty cool looking program though!

Pretty sure that the speaker is on the back and the mic on the front. I'm guessing that would cause some issues, but don't know.

I did like the look of this, but really couldn't get it to work on my Hermes.
It at least seems to emitt and record on the Kaiser, but I have no idea what to push to get it to do some calculating.
Any hints?

Progress .... sorta. If you go to Settings->Set Out Signal, and select Chirp <>, instead of Chirp <, it starts plotting. Unfortunately it just plots the same the over and over. Even if it just plotted random cool patterns, I could convince people it was working!

Hello,
I'm using the HTC prophet and I just stumbled over this thread via Google.
I made some progress by running some of the tests, especially the "audio system". It seems that I can record the chirps only up to a frequency of some 5500 Hz. So I changed at Settings -> Set out signal, the frequencies between 4 and 5 KHz. I also shortened the recording time to get a more accurate picture and less echoes. And finally, at Settings -> Set scale, I set the Cut off to 120.
Now my picture is changing according to the position of my PDA. Nevertheless I get by far to much noise / echo and it's pretty useless so far^^
But the programm is really cool, maybe we can get it running together

I really don't see a practical application for this but I'll bite anyway...
One of the issues may be due to the mono speaker. From the authors website:
This program depends on build-in sound drivers and thus strongly from the device model. If you can’t record echo signal than as a first step you have to check the /Tests/Check recording (just speak to microphone after selecting this test. After some time you will cheer the recorded sound). If this works use the /Tests/Search offset test to find the correct value for your device. The offset value depends on the device. If you here the recorded sound you can check the analyze window. This also gives you information about the offset between the played and recorded signal. Standard value of offset value is 5000 bytes in stereo 44100 samples/s mode. In mono mode with 44100 samples/s is selected than this value is 2500 bytes. After that you can try to record echo.

could anyone please post the default setting values for the out settings? i messed with them and cant get them back to default...
you know what. if anyone is bored enough could you just post all of the settings so i can keep messing iwth them.

Every time I exit the program and start it again, all my settings are lost and set to default..

i get a plottin on my screen but dosent look anything like the screen shot... im using xda stealth

it doesn't work on my BA (win 6.1)
the app doesn't start at all
click -> 1 second... -> nothing happens

Just found this app and this thread. Don't suppose anyone got it working?
I have WM6.1 and Mogul.

using Touch HD (blackstone) and WM6.5.3
it ALMOST works.. but dosnt if a new version was made it probably would but dosnt look like its been touched for about 5 years.
anyone up for making somthing similar/simpler?

Searched for offset, replotted and i just got garbage
I think my kaiser doesn't have a good microphone.
btw:
There is a video with a Toshiba TG01 and a(maybe this) program.
It used a Sonar-device (i don't know how it's called in English), which had been connected over USB-Host.

i look a round and i see this

does this really work?
I take it indoor and the ruler function reads the furthest distance being 2.34 meters...
i take it outdoor the longest distance reads 2.34 meters when clearly it's like more that 15 meters...
this is a blonde application

It does work...
I had an earlier version working on an HTC Vogue with WM6.5 (NFSFan ROM)
This version (1.30) works on HTC HD2 with WM6.5.5 (Elegencia ROM). The programme is unfortunately displaced about 5 mm down the screen from where it should be (obscuring buttons a bit) but is working.
Its not perfect but a really fantastic gimmick to have on your phone to shock and amaze (especially those dweebs on iOS)

[Q] Touch pro 2(t-mobile) Very lite ROM needed to speed up

Can somebody suggest Touch pro 2(t-mobile) Very lite ROM needed to speed up... and for fastest response (Window mobile 6.5)
Main usage:
Voice call and SMS
Very few applications.(only youtube needed)
Also low graphic settings so i can save memory.
Kindly let me link if any ROM available, or a way by which i can cook.
Thanks a lot for help in advance

If you want light, download and flash the Titanium Rom from the Energy Series. It's usually the first on on the page here in the rom section. That rom eliminates Sense entirely and relies on the stock Winmo UI. Runs very smoothly, has great battery life, and is reliable. It just lacks the features of sense. If you want something quick that will include Sense I would suggest a Simplicity or the Infinity roms.

Lightest I'm using
Hi,
Give the roms from
KWBR a shot.
He's the only one that's using an older manilla build (2012) and don't add any unneeded manilla tabs/software.
I'm using it for ages after a long search for the lightest (and fastest)
If you want some more TABS like Facebook, Callhistory, etc, you should look at other ROMS.

I'll echo this. I've tried a lot of ROMS but got tired of the poor battery life and stability issues. I've been using KWBR's rom for a month now and LOVE it. Great battery life, very stable, and plenty of free memory. Your mileage may vary, of course, but I don't think I'll be changing ROMS again. This one just works.

Does kwbr support CDMA? I have a Sprint CDMA & GSM TP2. Please help...

Overclock?
You could try overclocking the device using WinMoSpeed by iwfratz
I have my TP2 overlclocked from 528MHz to 768MHz and it's extremely stable and WAAAY faster!

try Jackos its fast stable etc

I suggest this ROM (KWBR's C3 - C3 means COM 3 aka 6.5.X) too. My first time using it & it's just as fast as Energy ROM Titanium.
I made a few customizations that make it a very nice feature rich ROM.
My Autoinstall folder (Unzip & put in root of SD card to auto install after flashing).
In ZIP:
My Topbar Icons
My Transformers Sliding Sounds
My BT & WiFi Toggles (HTC exe's from Action Screen used, I created Start Menu shortcuts & icons, requires SDKCerts)
MS Facebook App
Google Maps
Total Commander (KWBR Edited Version)
Mortscript
NewSDKCerts
NoData (by Pual @ Modaco - allows you to disable the different GPRS Connections Data/Internet/MMS/ETC.)
NoRingtoneLimit (Not sure who made it, but basically lets you use any length audio file for a ringtone such as a song)
Opera Mobile 10 w/Manila Internet Tab integration & Flash Lite 3.1 (To enable Flash, in Settings, enable plugins under advanced)
20 Home Tab Quicklinks Mod (by Santod?)
HTC Messaging Client (by ThGraf?, very fast)
BG All Tabs (Nice to give all tabs the BG from Home Tab, by Toch X?)

Best ROM's around (my opinion).
Stable, fast, does what it has to do!

In my opinion energy rom will not be good for you because it has too much useless tools. If you want WinMo 6.5.x without flash KWBR... absolutely fast and stable, 4 me the best 6.5.x rom. But I if you want werry werry fast rom use Jackos S3, I chose wersion with 2.1. There is everything you need, nice appearance, stability and above all I doubt you can find something faster.

[GUIDE][REFERENCE][420PLACEBO4LYFE]Nexus 7 which browser is fastest - synthetic SPEED

Good evening, ladies and gents. Today I present to you a set of data, along with some of my interpretations of what it might mean. By all means, these results do not dictate what browser you should use, but with these results, I hope to provide some information that may or may not influence your choice of browser.
Now, let's get on to the raw numbers.
I conducted a total of five different tests with each browser. The results are as follow:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now, about how these tests were performed. My device was, of course, a Nexus 7. Here are the system settings:
CPU @ 51 MHz up to 1.300 GHz with touchdemand governor, 4 cores enabled
GPU @ 416 MHz
BFQ IO Scheuler with 2048k Read Ahead Buffer Size
WiFi High Performance is Off, Smart Dimmer is off, FSYNC is On, ZRAM is off.
ROM is latest ParanoidAndroid Nightly (March 7, I believe)
Kernel is M-Kernel A-38, stock voltages
As for the tests themselves, they were performed through these steps to ensure accuracy and precision:
1. Close all open background apps (multi-tasking menu)
2. Open browser.
3. Search for the benchmark on google
4. If there is a preloader, click that
5. Run the benchmark
Note:
1. The theverge.com test is much more prone to errors as there are many more variables involved, such as download speeds, human error, and the like. I'm not a gamer so my reaction speeds are not the fastest.
Now, a look at the numbers.
I speculate that all of the browsers that received a 304 score on HTML5test use the same version/modification/flavor of webkit. Chrome Beta and Firefox Nightly received different numbers of points and bonus points so those two are obviously not the same, even without knowledge of ionmonkey and the different cores of the two browsers. After a little bit of digging, I found that Opera beta and Chrome seem to use the same webkit (although possibly opera implemented better HTML5 support). whatismybrowser.com reports both browsers as Chrome 25, and the scrolling lag in Chrome is also present in Opera. Chrome beta is recognized as chrome 26, and most of the other browsers register as just "Android Browser on Nexus 7".
Now, as for benchmark bias, there certainly is some. Kraken was made by Mozilla (same people who made firefox), Octane was made by google (obviously, chrome), and Sunspider was made by webkit (every browser listed uses a variant of webkit, except firefox nightly (?)). You can decide for yourself whether this has any impact on the scores.
Another point to bring up, is that scores do not equate to smoothness in any way. There is exactly zero relationship between benchmark score and smoothness of a browser, on the android platform. Chrome, while appearing to get decent scores, is, in mine and many others' experiences, horribly laggy, whereas sleipnir, one of the lower scoring browsers, scrolls much more smoothly.
I might update this with a browser that you want, if this gets popular enough, or if you ask nicely.
Graphs were made with excel 2013.

This is AWESOME! Thanks so much! I'm working on a Drive Spreadsheet to work out which one ranks the highest.
EDIT: Here's the spreadsheet LINK

Just going by the way they feel to use and not benchmark numbers, I say the AOSP browser is best.

Live Wallpaper with Clock And SysStats (Moss)

Hello everybody!
I found this nice aplication on F-Droid called Moss.
As a long-time Linux & Conky user I felt right at home and made a config script to fit my Galaxy Mini's poor screen resolution.
After installing Moss (either with the f-droid app or from playstore), download the zip file below and unpack it in a convenient place.
move one or more mpk files to your sdcard.
you MUST have resources (folder "res" inside the zip file) either in /sdcard/moss/res or in /data/data/moss/res.
it's easier to copy the folder to the sdcard, but then your config shows an error while you use the sdcard as usb-storage.
if you don't like that try "adb push res /data/data/moss/res" instead, then choose the appropriate config file.
From your phone's file browser, tap the file, Open with Moss, and tap "Okay" in the end.
After that you can choose Live Wallpapers => Moss => Settings... => Configurations => Ming 11-13.
Moss is extremely lightweight and should work on ALL Android versions.
When I installed it from f-droids installer, it showed incompatibel with my device and/or operating system, but it's only the cpu function that doesn't work properly.
It's still beta and the "overrides" function is not implemented yet; in my experience, it might stop unexpectedly during setting it up, but once it's running it's stable.
Tested with: Cyanogenmod 7.2 and CM9.3 ICS-PLUS.

the 2nd and 3rd configs are designed to leave some space for widgets, assuming you have 4 rows and 5 columns.
the cyanogenmod logo is not my creation. CM's Cid logo comes with this license - i assume that the logo i use comes with the same. the same license applies to my part of the work.

minor changes.
updated link/screenshot in post #1.
- there will be more changes to this; i'm still exploring the possibilities & limitations of moss.

it's always great to see people trying to do something right from the first post :good:
however, i'm curious about 2 things:
1. ram consumption (as any other LW, no matter how simplistic it was killing my mini with huge amounts of memory)?
2. is it showing all sysstats all the time? is there some relatively simple way to hide some of them
[maybe the second one sounds dumb, but i'm not the greatest - and surely not the only noob 'round here]
keep up the good work!

thanks for the thumbs-up!

1. assuming that this is based on or off conky.sourceforge.net, it should be very lightweight. anyhow it runs smoothly on my low-spec galaxy mini.
2. some stats are not shown. it seems cpu stats are simply not working on my device or with this software. others, i felt are not so important, but have a look here: teneighty.github.io/moss/objects.html as to what is available. what i did is not much more than a zipped config file.
i am still working on it and will include different configs with different sorts of stats.
unfortunately the screen is so small that one tends to have widgets on top of the moss output... i think i will also include one config that has only a clock and maybe one or 2 bars, almost no writing.

thnx for your replies; i'll keep my fingers crossed
basically, i use almost no widgets on my screen just because i find that space precious (as well as ram)

i'm having operating system stability issues right now, i have to solve these first.
i don't know if it's some app or the system itself (CM7.2 nightly) or some settings (performance tweaks cpu overclocking?)
any suggestions as to what is the most stable operating system for this phone, or any good links faq/howto's?

well, to answer myself: i changed to this rom now, it seems very stable.
also it seems that my mini does not like overclocking - system freezes. i'm keeping it just a little over 600MHz right now.
post #1 updated.
i have updated the scripts, added 2 more.
there's now an easily accessible folder with resources which should make it easier to change backgrounds and fonts.
i still recommend to have alook at the actual config files, the syntax is not so hard once you learn to ignore all those "${}".
btw, Moss is listed as not compatible with my OS/device, but really it is. only cpu stats don't work properly.
to answer crullicks earlier question: moss takes about 5% memory, just a little less than the trebuchet launcher.

updated.
see post #1.
