[App] - Layar

Has anyone used an application alled "Layar"? BRILLIANT! What it does is find the nearest search result near you and display how far you are away from it.
For example, search Macdonalds and it will search for the nearest Macdonalds and show you on a map when you point the phone camera in that direction! Brilliant if you feel lost or just want to find somewhere!!! Give it ago from the apps market.

This app has been around ages, I never found a use for it though.
There is also plenty of other apps that do just that as well

I only just got a HTC Hero G2! So still gettin used to the apps e.t.c. I think if your somewhere you don't know then this app could come in really handy.

Seems to keep crashing on BeHero 1.3.2. you load a layar then it goes to the screen where you can see through the camera and then jumps back to the layar selection screen after about 5 seconds - anyone else got that problem?

+1 on BeHero for me aswell, tested on another ROM and all was good.

using the neo rom 2.0 and it seems to crash on me as well...just me or ???

lol @ u all for having modified roms.

Layar doesn't work on the Legend (see here), so I suspect if you're using a ROM based on the Legend ROM, you'll have the same issue.

Most just cool but not useful until I recently found a layer for UK Postboxs - exact locations and when last pickup is.

can anyone confirm if this works anywhere internationally and not just uk?

Desk clock application

In my job I have the opportunity to work with a large variety of phones that multiple carriers in the United States sell. One interesting feature I saw was on the Blackberry Curve 8500 series, in which when you plug your phone into a USB device, it automatically goes to an analog clock screen.
I know that in 2.1 ROMs for the Hero, we have a nice program called Desk clock, which shows a digital clock moving to random parts of the screen.
My question is, is there a way to configure Desk Clock so that it automatically turns on when I plug my phone into my computer?

+1. An application like this would be just awesome.

There you go
I built a little something for you.
For now, it is really just a prototype.
If installing works and you open it, it will show nothing. This is not a bug, there is just nothing to show. The service listening for power plugins is running in the background, so just hit home and ignore it.
It will try to launch the android 2.1 clock first and then the HTC one when you connect the power supply.
I'll try to give it some kind of UI later, but for now, I've got a train to catch. Have fun with it.

Thanks a lot, MrMooh! I'll test it once I get back from work and post the results.

It works like a charm. It seems it calls the HTC Clock application, not this dedicated 'Desk Clock' app from 2.1, but it's even better for me. Awesome work, thank you so very much, MrMooh.
EDIT:
Is there a way to make this service run at startup in background?

I'll look into it. I already have an improved version, but it's not what I'd be proud to release. Perhaps at the end of this weekend I will have it finished.

Thanks. I'll be more than happy to do the beta-testing.

I would be interested in this too. Seems like a fine idea. I can beta test if need be.

Alright guys, I quickly made a new version this morning.
It should actually start automatically after booting up and you have a button to manually start and stop the service.
Try it out and tell me the bugs

Works perfectly. If there are any bugs - I can't find them. Thanks, once again.

Mr. Mooh, thank you for this!
Edit: Only thing I'm noticing is I can't change the weather to Fahrenheit, but that's excusable.

samre here works a treat on villain 5.4. brings up the android clock on mine. but i like it! well done you!

or use tasker (tasker.dinglisch.net), there you can choose to start the app you want when usb / dock plugged and 1000 other features (location based, event based a.s.o...)

Its worked im my sapphire 32b with strokes 2.1 rom version 1.4.2. thx man.

Works great, this was one of the few things I missed about my BlackBerry! MyTouch 1.2 running Cyan 5.07 test 2.

Nice app! Is possible to start the real desk clock ( black screen with time in white ) ? The one that starts with the icon with the pc and the clock...

Great!
The app is for comfort! Great! Thanx!
But I have one comment:
It could be super when the screen goes back to main home screen (not deskclock) after unplugging. It`s just a thing of personal comfort, so maybe somebody can support this.
Thanx again!

thank you dev!
this is neat

New version
I just fired up eclipse and added a few lines. Plugging out the cable will now always get you back to the home screen, no matter what application is running, so don't update if you don't like that behavior.
I could theoretically start the "real" desk clock, but I don't really know what intent to start to make it work. If you find it out, tell me and I will add the option.
PS: Tasker looks like a really good app, thanks for showing me.

It doesn't works in 1.5 roms

Fun!! /ten

Holy ****. This rom is AMAZING! If we could get the camera fixed for optimum performance, that'd be fantastic.

trying to enable wifi makes it reboot
if that could get fixed i think i would use this mainly... it just feels so fresh and new

Thanks IncDoes!

Thanks! Been wating to try this even with the known bugs

Also, i imagine aosp kernels for this, right?

This really does have a lot of potential.. I hope some one takes it over...

Thanks id! It's really cool, but I am also getting a bootloop when I enable wifi

I see theirs bug (as with any ROM) but will be watching this. Hope someone picks this up. It could be EPIC.

Sweet rom.
As others have pointed out.
Phone reboots when turning on wifi.
No verizon apps in market.
No TV Out
Ill be watching this rom closely .. I like what im seeing so far
Sent from my Liquid using XDA App

Gave this ROM a brief run noticed the following bugs:
As noted before, wifi forces a reboot. Weather service isn't reporting correctly, neither is GPS. Camera appears to work till you actually try to use it. Force closes after a few taps. Noticed that the ROM is sluggish performance wise, but this is likely due to all the other bugs. Really hope a dev takes this one up, definitely has a lot of potential.

It was a brief and fun escape from MIUI, but this ROM doesn't stack up. The lockscreen is the best part. Aside from the bugs, the ui is not very intuitive. Acer almost tried too hard to be different. Takes too many taps to get some things done. For example, you have to long press the home button to access the widgets, and then swipe to the one you want. The actual home screen is very limited in what can be on it. It's almost as if there are two ui's stacked atop one another.
Btw, I tried a different kernel. I think it actually installed properly, but the kernel didn't update in 'settings'.

Wow this is amazing... Great work

Works much better with launcherpro. The stock launcher is sorta bogus even though is fun to show off to other people.
This way you get a good home launcher and that awesome lockscreen.

I'm finding the same things that all of you are, although I've tinkered with mine to the point that it won't re-boot past the "acer" screen. I did a full wipe (dalvik, cache, setting) and I'm back into the setup screens.

[Q]Disabling lockscreen

Hello xda,
After a few weeks with my rooted nook touch, I have come to realize how annoying the DRAG TO UNLOCK screen is. Is there any way to skip this and go straight from screensaver to homescreen/book/whatever-you-were-doing? Already scoured the google and this forum and can't find anything.
Thanks in advanced!

yeah, that would be nice if the lockscreen/screensaver could be completely disabled!

I use No Lock by BoD http://www.appbrain.com/app/org.jraf.android.nolock It has a widget for toggling the lockscreen too. I use it on all my android devices that don't have a rom with it built in. I wasn't sure if it would work with the nook touch but it works like a charm. I'd be nice to have a custom rom for the touch that has it built in. Maybe if cm7 gets running on it.

Thank you!

The problem of this utility is that it's always running as service and take some resources.
If I kill it from services keylock starting to work.
Think must be another ways - smth like disable lock in sys settings via adb.

If you're rooted with nook manager just use the nook touch mod manager and under the configure mod option you can disable the drag to unlock and also have a customized banner with your name and number below.

I know this is an old thread, and the Nook Touch Mod Manager fix DOES work if you have it installed, but as someone who just recently re-enabled the two part unlock, let me just mention that it is actually a useful feature. I don't know how many times I have pulled my Nook out to a random page, or random menu selection because the button got bumped whole it was in my pocket. Luckily, no random changes happened that were irreversible. It would really have sucked if I had managed to out it in black text on a black background, for example, and knowing my luck, it's amazing that I didn't.
So that's my two cents' worth. You can disable it, but it is actually quite useful, and speaking from experience, I recommend against doing it.

Awesome!
Will give'er a go, once I've backed up my current setup. Thank you.
Update: Clean Install, wiped everything. During setup the keyboard doesn't pop-up, so just skip through setup until finished. Then go to settings, then Language & Input. Select "Current Keyboard" and throw the switch in the upper right corner and the keyboard will auto pop up when in an input box.
This is nice. I like the look of it. Will update more later as I explore, But so far its looking great!
Thank you again!

Awesome... I am downloading now. Thank you so much.

it's ok to flash on 4.1.2 bootloader ?

Looking good. For those who want to know, the s-pen does work but not the same as when using touchwiz. Also, shows a mouse pointer on screen when using it. A little startling at first but I kind of like being able to seen where the point is going to touch down.

flashed, but it is impossible to turn off the screen, the tablet reboots imediately

Bugs
I've discovered that Netflix doesn't work. When trying to play a video, it just sticks on "Loading."
Some googling has revealed that this is pretty common with CM12 builds, although it seems to slowly be getting fixed.
I see this in my logcat:
Code:
12-14 00:05:16.683 W/ResourceType(2381): No package identifier when getting value for resource number 0x00000000
12-14 00:05:16.683 W/PackageManager(2381): Failure retrieving resources for com.netflix.mediaclient: Resource ID #0x0
Hope this helps!
EDIT:
Google Play Movies suffers from the same issue.
Code:
12-14 00:32:46.588 W/PackageManager(2381): Failure retrieving resources for com.google.android.videos: Resource ID #0x0
MX Player plays videos fine though. I suspect because it relies on its own libraries/codecs, rather than the built-in ones.

ROM is good. Moving applications to the memory card again is impossible.
Is there any chance to repair this error?

Stop brining up this folder mount app2sd stuff until the day the dev for those apps make proper lollipop update as far as I've heard lollipop fixed a large amount of sd card access.
Back on topic as app2sd function is offtopic due to kitkat breaking it like a bad habit....
Besides the lack of soft keyboard when starting up pleasantly pleased by the tablets performance.
sofar though seams a slight drop in fps in ppspp compared to kitkat guess thats just still fine tuning the mali gpu drivers for lollipop
double adaptive display in display settings one up top an one on the bottom... a little confusing but ok.
No option to remove cursor as I can tell for when using s pen an some apps that bring some of the spen like function back say no multitouch found.... Guess that is also a issue with just getting the drivers for the wacom digitizer ported over.
Overall two thumbs up for updating our device faster then samsung would have if they felt like it!

Yes I am requesting the ROM for 5100

on topicish now..
Look forward to when the wacom drivers get updated and can hide the pointer as I use my n5110 for drawing so re flashed back till thats updated.

After test seems everyting most important is working, the S-Pen on Papirus work but with hand over screen dosent work...
even the mouse point is activated by default you need do some workarround to disable
