Hello friends.
I am looking for an application for measuring car x and y tilt for offroad uses with 4x4 vehicle. Only one suitable app I found is the Kai's water level with its gyrometer feature,but this is very small and in my case I don't need bubbles,so I want to get a software to do my job,but with much larger indicator,angles and warnings as this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QegwIr4dle8
Is there anybody here,who can mix both functionalities of these softwares for me(cause I am not skilled with C)to one application? Super graphic effects aren't necessary.
Thanks in advance.
Very cool idea. I found this http://sites.google.com/site/srlappsproject/home/on-the-level-app its for android but looks cool.
This is very ideal,but for iPhone

In truth that's not a difficult app to write, however, I think you'll have issues if you are planning on using it on the move, as the sensor only measures the gravity that it perceives, so if you move the phone around, it gets terribly confused as to where "down" is.
I'm guessing you want to know that an incline of over x degrees is likely to cause the vehicle to tip, etc, but if you are bumping over rough ground, then you'll never get an accurate reading anyway IMHO.
Cheers,
Steve.
Well,I know,that the sensor reacts also for acceleration,because normally it measures inertial forces and the result is not depended only on the gravity. Anyway,it should be okay,because I need it for very slow motion of the car in difficult terrain and I want to see,if my tilt angle(especially to side) is in tolerance,because I don't want to flip the car on the roof. Are you skilled with this "easy" programming?
I would be happy to do the graphics for it just tell me what you need.

I wouldn't necessarily say "skilled", but I wrote the Touch Incall Screen Tweak which turns on/off the screen during a call based on the orientation of the phone, so I'm familiar with working with the accelerometer.
Cheers,
Steve.
Okay,I will prepare demo application tomorrow for PC. I want to have the functionality of the software in video,but with comparable graphics as Kai's bubble level gyrometer(visible horizont). It will be lonely one application of its type on the world,so you can be rich.
Maybe a little something like this. The buttons at the bottom would change color depending on the alarm setting for each angle. You could change that setting by pressing the corresponding button. The numbers in the buttons would give you the actual ° reading.
Just a thought.
Ok, I pulled a stupid moment, there would only be 2 axis, Yaw and Tilt. I was thinking 3D
Also the Waterlevel app found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=411550 has the open source files posted with it, may save some time.
For me is enough to have just 2 axis. The front-end angle and side angle. The image posted before is quiet perfect,but we should have 4 buttons for X-warning,X-max,Y-warning-Y-max,when I hit one of them,I will be able to adjust it. Of course some notifications for these warnings are welcomed as well as angle value visible on the screen all the time.
Next thing what is also welcomed is the power-on ability to prevent auto-dim/off the display. All the things should be visible from the driver's place,when the phone is fixed on the dashboard,so the fonts should be big enough and of course the calibration function to be present.
With this picture you have saved me lot of time spended with programming the PC demo-now isn't needed,because all features are explained.
Anyway,thank you for your help and willingness.
Something more like this? Then pressing the X or Y button would take you to a setup page that you could set warning sounds for yellow or red and you could also set degrees for the setpoints of yellow warning and red warning for each axis.
Quiet perfect!
Can you enlarge the degree fonts and locate them to the bottom corners nearby the circle? Also the labels "Actual" are not necessary. Into the top corners maybe you can locate Calibration button and options/exit(if it will be fullscreened). The warning sounds is also not bad idea...
Like this?
Absolutely perfect!!!
Well done mate.
Now just make it working and it will be super. Are you able to make it alive?
Sorry I do not have that talent, wish I did.
Oh,what a shame. I'll try to take some developers here...
I think this needs moved to the developers thread.
Please, make this dream come true! I'm looking for this kind of software too!
What would you ask for ???
Obviously Froyo is on its way.
But any other ideas for hardware or software ?
eg.
Dedicated camera button for front facing camera
etc etc
or a solution for
better copy / paste selection
option for numerical pin as opposed to patern unlock
etc etc
Just read other posts asking simlar questions eg Facebook thread.
But this could be a reasonable chance to get our view across, The Mrs has just been approached to review their products

BTW, what I really need (in addition to froyo, an improved GPS and less lag.... ok, I'm on stock fw...) is not from Samsung directly but simply an app: Skype!!!
LED Flash
and SenseUI!

1. some kinda mic settings so i could record concerts and have the footage useable.
2. stereo speakers..
3. usb connection on bottom..
4. led or xenon or both flash
5. camera dedicated button right side bottom.

This pretty much sums it up.
More RAM
like 4 GB RAM, and Dual Core CPU
and a flat 3000 mAh battery
flash for sure
- camera flash
- hdmi output (rumored via usb in the future)
I want an optical joystick. And a brushed Al backplate. And I dun need a clickable center button if a touch sensitive one will be more durable. And undo/redo in all text editors. And the icon size should be adjustable. Err, that's 5 more things, my bad....

Why just a LED flash? they are pretty lame.
If you are going to have a flash at least have a proper one (xenon).
That would be my wish
1) xenon flash
2) coloured trackball for notifications
a working rocket launcher.
Stability.
(It looks like most, or all, the Bell i9000M phones have a problem with the internal SD chips, killing themselves. Mine died, and all I did was launch the audio player!)
Xenon flash or a LED for notifications
I'd say something android lacks overall: easy caret placement. On the phone produced by a fruity manufacturer you have somewhat of a magnifying circle when positioning the caret. I would REALLY like that (or equivalent) to be available on Android
...unless it already supports it and I have overlooked it for months, lol
notification led
couldn't care less about flash, the phone makes extremely good night pics anyhow and i'm not into making horrible night pics with a flash 30cm from ppl's face
the rest is software and can/will/is already added by community/samsung
eventually a joystick or something similar for games hehe.

Both the samsung keyboard and swype keyboard have cursor arrow keys for fine caret adjustment.
For the samsung keyboard, long-press/hold down the '?123' button in the left bottom corner. In the Swype keyboard, swype from 'i' (information) key in bottom corner to 'SYM' key next to it and a new board opens with arrows and additional 'cut/copy/paste' commands. Very handy although not as elegant as the fruity phone's implementation or easy to use as a Nexus trackball.

UPDATE: September 17
New feature:
* Flip view. Are you accidentally hitting the android system menu all the time? I am. Now you can flip the tablet over!
Probably the last update before I release 2.0. Woot!
UPDATE: September 16
New feature:
* Custom pen color / size / transparency.
* Pretty icons!
UPDATE: September 12
Writepad 2 beta is out. Download below!
New features:
* Bigger eraser size. You can change size of eraser using the "style" menu.
* Lasso erase. Draw a closed path to erase everything inside it.
* Typing mode. Click the T icon to start typing. Click again to go back to writing mode. If you have a physical keyboard you can keep typing while in writing mode. (Note: the text will not export to PDF or any other format yet. still working on it.)
* Import images from SD card. You can resize the image by dragging on the lower left corner.
* Import from web. Use the mini browser to go to the site you want, then hit OK to import it to your page. Then you can draw on it. (The zooming is weird right now)
* Auto-scroll button. Located above the zoom button - this will automatically scroll from left to right, and then to the next line. Useful for those who like to write while zoomed in. You can hold down the button and reposition it to wherever you like.
A few more features coming. I'll polish up the icons too - they're ugly right now.
The beta version will install as a separate app called "Writepad 2 beta". Please email me if you find bugs!
I just got this stylus http://www.amazon.com/Newest-Genera...rranty/dp/B004HO86P6/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
and it is the best stylus I've used. Much smoother, smaller tip = better handwriting!
UPDATE: August 17
Been working hard to get this released. I had no idea that there'll be so much response on here, so I will start going through your comments tomorrow. For now: I've updated the release APK below. It has all the features of the one on the market, but will stop working on October 1st. The market version is here for $0.99 https://market.android.com/details?id=com.writepad
Thank you for your interest!! It means a lot to a first time developer
-----------------------
I'll be using this app myself to take math notes when school starts, so I'm trying to get some nice features in there. I want this app to be as close to writing on real paper as possible. Let me know what you think!
I made this on the Asus Transformer (Android 3.2) and am interested in how it works on other tablets. Nitpick away; I'll try to fix any bugs before I put it up on the Market. The market version will have support for multiple notebooks.
Features:
Smooth writing experience: no lag and no jitter between the stylus movement and the screen response.
Smart palm detection. Only records the writing from your stylus! (note: only works for right handed people now. will add the setting for left-handers later)
Export page and notebook: share the page as PNG file, or export the whole thing as a ZIP file to your dropbox or gmail.
Paper type: comes with four familiar paper types.
Stylus calibration: Instead of drawing where the stylus touches the screen, it will draw where you *think* the stylus tip is. Good for those thicker tip styluses.
I use a Griffin stylus: http://www.amazon.com/Griffin-Technology-Stylus-iPhone-touchscreens/dp/B0041D0K1Q/ref=pd_cp_e_2, modded with the rubber grip from a Pentel pencil: http://www.amazon.com/Pentel-Twist-Erase-Automatic-Pencil-Blue/dp/B00006IEH1
Just tried this, and it's very cool! Do you know of any recognition-type software that you could feed the resulting images into for editable text?
Nice app. Works great on the xoom. Just ordered that stylus. Thanks

I'm using the Targus stylus. I think they're all identical -- made by Boxwave, maybe -- but the Targus version was a couple bucks cheaper.
Yeah your definitely going to have to make it for left handed people as well because I'm lefty!!
Definitely a great idea and I might look into buying a stylus to.
Looking forward to new features being added!!

what's up with the eraser? Just Greys everything out for me.
very nice, ive been looking for something like this.
Well I just use the app and there's allot if lag... I'm using a ajl stylus on the xoom wifi .. 3.2

You mark off what you want to erase with the grey and then you select pen again and magically the grey disappeares.
To the Op, this app has the potential to be the best handwriting note taking app, I have tried them all and requested the palm rest feature from the other developers who were not able to implement the feature to date, this one works really well.
Below is my wish list for future enhancements:
Pinch to zoom, so that we can write inside shapes we have drawn without difficulty.
Unlimited undo
Ability to fill with colour any objects drawn on the screen e.g. bar or pie charts.
The zoom bar so that what you write is transferred to the lines in proportion to the other letters as an option where needed. I have noticed that when I get to the bottom corner with my palm or wrist, the settings pop up which is quite annoying.
Importing of images from gallery for annotation
Export to pdf's
smoother handwriting panel, I have been spoiled with the bamboo paper app on ipad which is extremely smooth.
I would love to be a beta tester and try out new features, count me in!
Just for your info, an app with the name write pad already exists so you may need to rename your app before putting it on the market.
getting errors, can't install... rooted 3g zoom HC 3.2... tiamat hammerhead rom
It's crashes if you try to open it on landscape mode.
I got a little bit of lag when writing, so some letters are "skipped".
And this (Smart palm detection) seems not working right... :'(
If you wanna more information, send me a PM, I can help you to debug that.
Using a Xoom 3.0 with a Kensington stylus.
[]'s
Needs a backup\restore option.
Also, I wrote something on a page and tried to go the next page and got a file error message. It did go to the next page though. And how do you delete a page? I'm going to be taking a class soon and would like to use this for taking notes.
This app also needs a categories function.

Landscape mode would be great. With a xoom case that tilts / holds the tab only landscape really is feasible
The eraser function is good, but a thicker eraser stroke would make it easier to erase specific lines
Looks really good
As already commented I find that there is a bit of lag, but definitely the best app for handwriting I have found so far.
I wonder if the lag may have anything to do with other apps running such as push email synchronisation???
Keep up the good work, you could be on to a winner and the best equivelant to Penultimate.
Like the automatic palm rest.
Like the way the eraser works, but would be nice to be able to increase the "eraser head" size to be able to erase a full line at a time.
I do get some lag though, which can be inconvenient, but not a deal breaker.
Thanks for all the good work! This is already one of the better hand writing apps and shows potential to be the best.
Would be great if it could take a little of the TabPad concept, which works in landscape / is made for honeycomb, has good drawing function and a great eraser. Faster too.... but can only share with facebook
MakeNotes (beta) could give some inspiration too with its auto shapes function.
Tried it with my Transformer and the palm feature didn't work. I actually ended up with input locations in a couple of spots where my hand was resting. Not sure if it was related, but the stylus input sometimes didn't register. Also, not sure about the calibration set-up. Should it show some indication that my tracing is registering? I get no indication which ends up throwing off the whole calibration.
working good so far! Nice app

After a week of using the 6T, I noticed that my typing wasn't as accurate as it was on my Moto Z Play. My thumbs also were a little uncomfortable when typing for a while. I realized that because of the screen extending further down the screen on the 6T vs the MZP, I had to move my thumbs much more down the phone than before. After playing around with the floating function of the Google Keyboard, I found a position that is more comfortable (image attached), and my accuracy has improved as well. The keys are now in a more natural position, lining up right next to where my thumbs fall when holding the phone.
The other option is also holding the phone lower, thereby placing thumbs where the keyboard lies on this phone. The downside of that for me is that I have to shift my hands up and down the phone to get my thumbs to the top of the screen. Time will tell which solution I prefer.
Out of curiosity, I wanted to see if anyone else who is coming from a phone that had a much larger chin than the 6T has had the same challenges. It may be also that I'm just getting old, and my hands are less flexible.
how do you make the gboard float like that? I can't seem to find it in settings.

Tap the g in the upper left, then the triple dots top right, look in the lower right?
This will be a necessity for me if I ever talk myself into upgrading my MZP to a 6T as well. My stubby, clumsy thumbs will have nothing to do with a keyboard all the way at the bottom of the device.
Actually recently got rid of nav bar for gesture nav on the MZP, and this helps in that scenario too.
I just got my OP6T today and I'm pleasantly surprised by the phone. Maybe the screen is not as sharp as my previous U11 but the difference is quite small so I think I can live with that for now. The secondary thing is like the OP mentioned typing on the keyboard. I tried using the phone with gestures and even though its really easy to navigate around the UI, writing is just horrible. Space bar is so low that I have to hold the phone really low in order to right properly. With standard navigation bar everything is ok. Tried floating keyboard but its so weird to type and look down to see what you are writing.
Also it's so funny that everyone is chasing the 99% front display ratio but at the same time interaction with the phone suffers a lot and we have to find ways to go around obstacles created but those almost full front display phones.
I use Minuum keyboard with adjustable spacebar height independent of the adjustable keyboard height.
I bought a cheap replacement screen from Ebay. If you want to know some details, it has the three navigation touch buttons visible in silver color (these are almost invisible on the original) and a blue LED (original: white or RGB), not as bright as the original. Most of the screens I find on AliExpr. or Ebay look like this on the pictures
Question: This replacement screen is missing a few rows of pixels at the top, as you can see from the attached image. Is there a way to ignore these pixels, like set a custom resolution? Configure a "notch" that goes all the way across?
If you know any cheap, good screens, let me know as well. I guess I'll need another one in the future in case I break one again.
