Hi,
My first android device was a nook color and purchased on day one. This was the forum that got me all started to develop on the android platform. Since then I have worked on a location base app that make full use of Google map to find locations nearby. It has been fully tested with the Nook color using CynogenMod 7. It probably works with other flavors but I haven't test it yet. Please comment if it works/doesn't work in other Nook color Mods.
BTW it is FREE of course.
Here is the link to the app posting:

Thank you to all who have inspired me!

If you've posted it early last week, I would have tried it already. Now, I'm back.
Anyway, thanks for app, keep it going. I'll give it a try later.

Hi Votinh,
please do give it a try and any input you might have will be appreciated.
Thanks,
F8

I tried to use it over the thanks giving weekend driving between LA and San Diego. Saved some time to look for diapers in a nearby Target store
BTW though your description says "* Featuring "Peek ahead" at other destinations." I could not find it. I could pan the map, but did not see any stores beyond certain point. Is it limited by distance? Say
it would be nice if I can look ahead for destinations e.g. I'm in between San Diego and Carlsbad on I5 and I want to find stores in Carlsbad, well specifically Dunkin Donuts. Having directions to that place from my location would be nice too.

dumble_bee,
If you know where you are heading, you can pan the map to the location, touch the map and hold(2 seconds). It will center where you touched and will display what is near by based on the new location. You can also increase the viewing radius setting in preference to see further out, but you probably already know that.
Hope this helps.
F8

OK, I tried that, but then how do I go back? After a while it goes back to the old place. I have to then "touch and hold" again and again. Bit annoying.

This has potential, but why no support for landscape? I'd love to see that!

dumble bee,
When you pan the map or center on a different location, it will recenter after 60 seconds when you no longer interact with it. But if you like to go back to your former location, you can just Tap Tap(tap the screen two time quickly), it should put you back right away.
Hope this help,
F8

Thanks Mate! I understand. Just have to finger the thing from keep moving.
A food for thought, maybe something you can provide as a feature and name it after me
it'd be nice to remember my choices of press-&-hold, bring those up and let me select one, I usually move and look ahead at limited area's, mostly starbucks at a location that I'll be meeting my clients.

Android Market won't let me install this, says it's incompatible with Bn NookColor; is there some tweak I need to do to get around that?

Do you have problem with installing any app in the market or just this one ? Are you running CM7 ?

Single keypress gives double letters

Several times when typing with the keyboard on my Tilt I've found I get double letters when I only press the key once. Is that common? Is there an adjustment for this?
Perhaps you need to re calibrate your device as perhaps when you did it the first time, you calibrated your device in such a way that made your screen too touch sensitive
I guess he means on the physical keyboard, not on the touchscreen. This happens to me too and I find it mildly annoying, especially if I'm in a hurry. I'd love to find a fix for it.
There was another thread describing the exact opposite behaviour, but I haven't played around with the settings yet.
Robert
Ooops- My bad.
Same here, especially with the "d" key and sometimes multiple repeats not just doubles. Other keys doing it also. Thought at first it was sticky, but thats not it.
Rfka01 is dead on, of course. I'm referring to the hardware keyboard.
I looked for a 'repeat rate' setting or such to see if that would fix it, but can't find any setting of that nature.
Hi, did you check the thread I linked you to? They are toying around with registry settings for keyboard repeat rates. ATM I don't have enough time to try it.
Robert
Sorry - I was trying to help find the keyboard repeat rate setting and thought that I knew where it was and failed.
Message removed.
I think we all know the real problem - keeping it in the family a bit too much eh?

Are you a GTA fan Vijay? Nice. I'm almost through with the story mode in GTA4.
Another thing I think the button repeat rate setting applies to the keyboard reapeat rate. So adjust that and it might help.
[offtopic]
@juiceppc - to tell you the truth, I haven't played it and am trying desperately NOT to! I'm rebuilding my PCs and "upgrading" from Vista to XP, so shuffling 2 terabytes of data around, accumulated over years of coding and hacking, is taking weeks and weeks
As soon as I finish, I'll get back on my xbox 360 and give it a go.
Do you like it? (better respond offtopic, I shouldn't be polluting threads)

For some reason, the keyboard repeat rate is actually tied to the volume up/down control settings. Go into your Setting, Buttons, Up/Down Control page, and twiddle the "Delay before first repeat" setting. That should fix it.

The game is sick! A technical achievement of this decade IMHO.
Yes, this is a frustrating reoccurring issue. Sometimes it'll even give you double letters of two of the first letters in a word, for example, "like ththis." It's especially ridiculous when it happens to only two letter words, like "to" for example, which results in "I'm going toto the movies."
I've filed a report with Google, so please visit the link and star and add your own testimony if you wish. http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=14755
I even made a video demonstrating the problem to show Google. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUZdvr6Pdjk

So this isn't really a "Diamond" application, but this is the only forum I post in, and I wanted to share this so maybe other people can find it useful.
While I was checking out of the grocery store tonight, I realized I had left my "preferred savings" card in my car's glove compartment as usual. Naturally, my train of thought derailed into Windows Mobile development and how I could make my life easier. The answer was simple: why can't I save all my card bar codes on my Windows Mobile Device and have the cashier scan the image from my cell phone? It would save wallet space and be really cool to boot!
So obviously, I came home and whipped up a program to do just that. Any cards that you scan with a bar code reader can now easily be imported and stored on your phone!
Click here to read more about the Bar Code Manager and the Bar Code API.
does this work,
I thought due the the polarised nature of LCD screens they would be unreadable by most barcode readers!
I hope so! I'm going to check tomorrow when I head into the office. We have a couple bar code readers laying around.
Good idea! Unfortunately, most bar code readers won't read backlit displays
Glad you boys mentioned this!
Ive beennn doing this ever since my Nokia 7710. I caried my "ID" on my 7710. When ever I was asked fo ID i just pulled put my 7710.
Sooo yes this can be done on any Barcode-ID app.
Boys time to leave that ID home!
They wont even know the Difference with that GORGEous VGA Screen!!!!
Cheers Bradas!!!
This doesnt seem to work with my norwegian bar codes, dunno if we use another standard than you, or not.
2912340005882
157100395
2 983061310951
When entering these i get a NullReferenceException in RefreshBarCode()
WindowsLessControls.StandardBitmap.get_Width()
Weird, the first and the third number worked for me (try redownloading the CAB). The program really only supports 12 digit bar codes though (UPC). I haven't written in support for other formats yet (Code 39, etc).

Doesn't seem to want to work with my cooked ROM. I get 'An unexpected error has occurred in WMBarCode.exe. Select Quit and then restart this program.'
And when I restart, I get the screen in the image.
Anyone else confirm this?
A nice next step would be to scan the barcodes with the onboard camera.

I have the SAME problem as this. Running Tilt 2 with 6.5 stock rom
Does this require anything other than the cab for download at the link?
says "Download the Bar Code Manager and API here"
What is the API? I REALLY want to use this app
I have installed this and typed the number from a store card. Where do I type the name for the card? After typing in the number in the one edit box the barcode, on screen, does not resemble the barcode on the card. If I type any text in the edit box I get "An unexpected error has occured in WMBaeCode.exe" NullReferenceException
Help!
Same stuff happening here on ever rom ive tried. I really want sometihng like this
Can someone post a mirror? The website linked is not working.
Do you think you can provide a slightly better tutorial on how to set up your cards. I can't get any of mine to work, and not all grocery store cards are 12 digits. Any way you can add support for those?
Great program, I've been using it for a long time now and I don't know if there's any development on this, but it would be great for it to support 2D codes too. Thanks

Its magic!!!

Yesterday as I was leaving work I noticed a new icon on my default (home) desktop called Android. I didn't put it there and have no idea how it got there. When you tap it, it opens a window with like 8 android system icons, txt, settings, ect. Its kinda handy I suppose but not really needed, but I'm really curious where the heck it came from. Anyone else see this on their device?
Sounds like a folder rather than a shortcut? Never seen it before and it's not one of the default folders either.
Yeah I think you're correct. All those functions I usually do from the (LP) dock, and its like the phone decided I use those enough that I need a dedicated folder!!?? Nothing else has changed, the first place I looked was "About Phone", everything is as it was before. Weird!
Edit: also I have LP set to not have text labels for any icons, but this one does say "Android", jesus phone indeed, ha!
Edit: Oh, and the graphic is a generic gray cellphone.
Screenshot??
Sure when I get home and have access to my computer/SDK
SDK? Looking at the spec list you don't need it?
You are aware you can use screenshot apps with root, right?

Anyhow,

Not sure about the Android shortcut/icon, but the second screen looks similar to the popup that shows when you hold the home button. (recent activities list)
Looks like one of the default Folder Organizer items, do you have that installed? If so, you probably added the widget while it was in your pocket or something. I'd be less worried about your phone and start wondering if your leg is becoming self aware!

Bingo!! Its a widget selection for a program I have called App Organizer, having said that, it takes four (specific) keypresses to get it to a place where I never put icons. I always leave my default home screen devoid of any clutter, (except time), for viewing cool wallpapers.
So I guess I'm back to, did this program just decide, without any interaction from me to put an icon on my desktop? Certainly not earth shaking, but a little bit irritating having some guy behind a monitor deciding how I should use my device.
In the scheme of things theres probably a lot more than less of this going on behind the scenes than I can see, lol.
Thanks for the replies/help clearing this up!

This didn't work for me (Eclair) and hosed my Home screen. Repeated reboots led to the activate prompt, which fails regardless of net connection status. Had to use B&N native access to Apps, and 'Home Switcher' to recover my Zeam homescreen. :|
Is this appropriate for the NC? Does it have a bunch of "phone" stuff that can't be hidden? I have dnlded it & will wait to see some examples of it's functionality.
Watching for all you creative people that are smarter than me to give it a review.

that sure is sexy looking

Mine keeps saying "device not supported" after I click to activate, and then it FCs... any ideas? Is there a step I'm missing, or something?
I uninstalled it for now...
(Autonootered 1.01)
Anyone have this working & have any comments? Need the installation steps, as they have been removed from the link. I know this is unreleased Beta, but I would like to try it. PM me the info, if it's not appropriate to continue posting in this thread.
Thanks,
kev
I would really like to get this working as well. I got it installed, but it says "device not supported" If there is a way to get it working, I would be very appreciative of a little help.
Hm... thats actually pretty nice.
I went to Market & then App Brain & tried to dnld Stupid Zombies. Had to reboot it after it froze. Now when I try to launch spb, I get the activate screen, press yes & then get an activation screen that says, Activating SPB Mobil'e Shell..." with a cancel button. It will not proceed beyond this point. If I press Cancel, OH WAIT!! It finally went to the next screen then the normal "device not supported" screen. Took a looooong time, as compared to previous startups. It's back up now. I started to abandon this post, but will post it in case someone else has the same problem. Haven't customized it yet. Lots to learn. This app may be worth the asking price. We'll see.

"device not supported"
I get "device not supported" on my NC running phiremod nook V4.. Any ideas on how to get it to work?
Thanks!
I get the same "Device not Supported" message each time I register it. Then it just works. Don't know the implications, but it seems to be fully functional.
Cheers,
kev
P.S. Can't figure out how to rename panels or set SPB to switch to landscape. Anyone?
Trial period!
Hopefully this beta release has this turned off???
Quote from 3.5 user manual:
"Registration
You will be able to use SPB Mobile Shell until the end of the trial version period of 15 days. If you have not
registered SPB Mobile Shell within this timeframe, you will need to do so to continue using it.
To obtain the serial number you need to purchase a SPB Mobile Shell software license and you will receive your
serial number by e-mail."
My concern is that I will like this app. & will not be able to buy a copy that I can register on the NC.

I got the same error. If I wait about 1 minute (maybe less) and then dismiss the error, the SPB works.
While visually impressive in an "ooooooh! Shiny things!" sort of way, there's a few issues:
* The 3.5 beta that I was able to install is clearly designed for a smaller screen. The icons and the spacing on the spacious 7" NC screen is HUGE. I can't find a way to change the resolution to take better advantage of the large screen.
* The SPB launcher does not toggle between portrait and landscape. Bummer.
* The animations in the carousel mode don't really serve any purpose beyond being dancing bologna.
* While SPB touts a great deal of customizability, however that appears to just be at the surface level. I can't find a way to change fonts, tab labels, or set individual panel wallpapers.
I don't know that this will be quite worth $30.
Darn it. I get a "device not supported" error. How did anyone manage to make it work.??

All I needed to do was remove the Zeam launcher from being the default action of the "n" key. Reboot. After unlocking, the NC will prompt you for which launcher to use. Select the SPB. It will go thru the activation process. When you get the unsupported device message, just dismiss it.

Thanks for the update
i prefer the old logo, it looked nice next to my 2012 end of the world app ..had a good color combo.
Just bought version 1.7 from Marketplace. a couple things are kind of confusing. Maybe I don't know how to use it yet.
1. I thought this version has live tile, but I don't see it is live.
2. there is check soft button 'check' at bottom, not sure how to use it.
3. Not sure how to use Categories tab, is it just for subscriptions? I didn't subscribe anything, maybe that is why?
A suggestion:
in Favorites tab, wish it has similiar functions as in 'My Download' so we can do batch download or stream.
Anyway, this is the best youtube app I've ever seen.
Very good job.
Hi,
I would like to answer your questions.
-1. I thought this version has live tile, but I don't see it is live.
We just updated logo and Live Tile ICON in this version.
-2. there is check soft button 'check' at bottom, not sure how to use it.
If you have unfinished downloading progress, you can click on the 'check' button. You could continue to download the rest part; Or stop your downloading progress; Or delete unfinished downloading. This button can help you to switch to download management page.
-3. Not sure how to use Categories tab, is it just for subscriptions? I didn't subscribe anything, maybe that is why?
Please select a category first, and then slide to 'hot video' page, you would see the change.
If you have more questions, please send us the email via [email protected].

Thank you so much for your prompt reply! I have no more questions.
Works great!
Just 2 cents from me, maybe makingno sense
1. A softbutton for checking DL, looks this app very much focus downloading video. Not sure about others, I don't use it very much,but understood it is the sale point. As a YouTube app, a check button it is little too much, or it should be in My Download Tab.
2. Category is not so intuitive, in hot video, we could have a button for this purpose. Otherwise, it should broowse through the content for the selected cateegory.
I justLOOOOOVE that finaly the tile follows coulor scheme. Logos can always get better and latest is the best one so far. But it can always improve, because a clear logo mixed with the youtube logo gives a clearer what app it realy is. But oncr again, great tile, love it. And thnx for the ever ongoing improvments. Its gona take a miracle for the officiall app to even get close to super tube. So even if Mango comes ... The purpous of SuperTube was spot on in what your idea was. And great ideas survives competition. Just the ever coming improvments shows me that i can rely on your products and that you guys will have a strong app when Mango comes, and when users starts rolling in for real, your rep is gone serve you great. All that gets WP7 i recommen ST to and like most other app, i have no bad feelings at all doing it.
Keep up your work, this is great work, and if you keep developing like thid, and in this pace. You are gone be a killer.
Thanks for the update
thank for the update
We hope everybody likes the new logo and live tile icon.
Yes! Big thanks for you work!
