Scientific Calculator For Android assistance

Hello,
I'm currently a college student and was looking around for some heavy-duty calculator applications for the G1 and stumbled on this. It seems not to have been updated in about 9 months, but the application itself seems very interesting and exceptionally useful. I was wondering if someone would be interested in picking up where they left off? Or atleast compiling an .apk for it?

Same here, maybe something similar to a TI 83 and up?

I would be very interested to see this developed more.

Screw the games.. We need the calculator. If you want the game go get nesoid or something. lols..

You see the stock Calculater on the phone , If you press "Menu" their is an option for scientific calculator , Have you tred it?

Have you tried handyCalc?

Yeah, THIS is the most powerfull software calculator i've ever seen.
And it's free. A little bit unusual to learn, but you have graphical output on screen
and everything you can think about.
Just type what you want and he does it for you.
It's very fast.

I downloaded the source-code and compiled it for you... There you go (attached).
Please note that I just compiled it... I don't even know how it works.
RZR

PG Calculator
I would like to recommend PG Calculator. It comes in free different versions: Free, Standard and Pro. Pro version can work with complex numbers.
The app has nice interface which can be changed using different skins. It can work in both Algebraic and RPN (Reverse Polish Notation) modes. Algebraic mode allows to process the mathematical expressions. Calculator has a library of common mathematical and physical constants and allows for user-defined variables.
Pro version has the Time Value of Money solver and also the IP Subnet calculator.

At the risk of sounding like a complete nerd...Forza app request

There's a very good tuning calculator out for Forza 3 that's been written as a flash file. Does anyone know how difficult it would be to make this into an app?
http://forzatraders.com/forza-motorsport-3-car-setup-tool
From reading on Forza forums others have requested the same thing since it's currently an app for the iphone. I have a feeling it would be pretty popular.

We're all nerds! This would be kind of cool. I just bought Forza 3 and playing it little by little. Still trying to figure out everything I can do.

This might be something I'd be able to develop, I've been playing with the Android SDK and looking for an idea for an application that would be useful but not too difficult for a first real project.
I'm not totally sure how Feuerdog feels about derivative works, it looks like he's ok with them, but I'll probably PM him first to ask, just in case.
No promises, but I'll look into it.

Sounds good! I remember reading a thread where someone asked him about an app for the droid, he didn't have the desire to do it himself but was receptive to the idea of someone else doing it. I looked and looked but couldn't find the thread again.

I've talked with Feuerdog, and he's completely open with the use of his calculations for any type of implementation, so I have the green light from him.
I'll play around with prototyping some of the UI and calculations, see what I can come up with. I'll probably work on getting the math working first, then making it pretty second, since an ugly functional app still does something useful!

and if you could also find me a way to view my leaderboards from my phone you would be my hero im in the top 100 in the world for AWD drifting

Just an FYI there's an app on the market now, ForzaDroid by Thomas Weitzel. Works perfectly and looks like it's using Feuerdog's formulas. Results match up perfectly with the output of the flash application.

Looks like it's the same short of app I was going to be making, glad to see there's one already out there. I'll put mine on hold and not worry about it unless there are problems with ForzaDroid

Do you think WebOS would work on Nook

if you'll look on Nook Color from part perspective it looks very similar ( except screen) to pre 2.
Same Ram
Pre2 OMAP3630 Vs Nook Color OMAP3621
I was trying to extract os image from my palm sdk/emulator but nothing good come out of it yet. If anyone have any ideas or tips, maybe some experience with extracting images from android sdk and porting them to phones, or useful tutorial how its done.
Thanks

In Theory yes it could be done.....
In Reality, with out the Source code, not alot can be done to get this ported over.

I just wont to try. I need to say my Palm Pixy Plus is one of my favorite phones but it seems it wont be updated any further, and HPalm announced today this TPad only problem for me is 9,7".
7" is my favorite form factor for tablets but Android 2.1 feels limited. 3.0 is not there yet.
Its the best time to play around with my Nook but as I'm saying havent had much luck yet, well I have a cool name WebNook.

Do not bother
WebOS is a copywrited OS. It would be illegal, immoral, and very near impossible to do. HP bought it for over a billion dollars, so they will protect it. Android is "good enough" for the NOOK.

Yeah 2.1 is rather limited, but keep in mind that soon CM7 will be out for the nook with I think 2.2 or 2.3 and it will be much better, and as far as 3.0 goes we don't even have the official release or source yet, the build people are playing with is the SDK Preview release, which is far from fully Honeycomb.
So there is still plenty of Growing room in the nook.

There was a group of people in the CDMA hero forum that attempted to port WebOS to the Hero. I think they got it working but stopped due to copyright. I searched for the thread using both the XDA search and google. It looks like XDA removed it.

I'm not trying to justify myself from trying (still unsuccessfully, and I dont want to make any money from it) to port WebOS to my Nook but what I remember Windows Phone is copywrited OS too and this whole Portal is build around people who are making new roms, and porting new aps to devices. Plus theres nothing better to learn on than something that you shouldn't.

WebOS is linux and if Nook can run one it mean it can run more, need to reed more how people ported Ubuntu and other Androids than 2.1

2.3 is what they are working on. When that releases, not only will we get all the 2.3 goodness, we get rid of all the B&N garbage. That's what we're all waiting with baited breath for.

I really like the B&N Library Software and the Ability to Purchase Books on the device, Granted the B&N Launcher is junk, But I like the Library App, Maybe we can rip it off and still use it?
I did just try Aldiko, which is very nice, But I like the Easy of Syncing my library with the B&N Library that comes with the Nook Color, Its also far Superior to the nook app of the Market which is laughable.

I recently tried Aldiko also, and quite like it. It seems pretty superior to barnes and noble reader. The only downside, as you said, is losing the simple sync with B&N. I'm sure people would come up with a simple enough work around though. I personally don't buy books from them, so it's not too much of a concern for me. perhaps they could be synced with the nook app in the market and then once downloaded could be added to the Aldiko library?

just thought I would post for anyone interested in a possible port, 2.1 SDK was just released

The Windows Phone Roms are for phones that are licensed to run said OS. You won't find a WP7 ROM for the NC for example, because it's not licensed to run it. You could probably get your mitts on the SDK, hack around and get WebOS kind of, sort of running on the NC, but there is no way you could make any argument that it was legal.

I used to have a Palm Pre Plus, and besides the factory defects of 3 units, I wasn't really impressed with the OS either.
For me nothing beats my Nexus One. So having my Nook run CM7 is way more enjoyable.

[Q] Android Image Editing App for G-Tablet?

One of the big things I REALLY need to be able to convert to using Android and my G-Tablet as a complete replacement on the road is an Image Editor that supports layers (filters as well would also be nice). I know there are a couple out there for the Chrome Web OS, so I would assume there has to be something at least as good for the Android? Or is there a way to run Chrome Apps under Android (or in one of the Android browsers)?
TIA!

I know that there's a Photoshop Express for Android but I'm not sure if it supports layers.
However, the Canvas App (in this thread) from the Adam port does support layers. I haven't had much time to play around with it so I'm not sure how 'robust' an app it is but you might want to check it out.

Photoshop Express for Android unfortunately doesn't have layers. Maybe in the future
Thanks for the Canvas link. Going to give that, and a web-based offering called Splashup a try tonight.

Market claims that while my Nexus One is compatible, that the G-tab isn't. Have you been able to run it on the G-tab?

If its the sketchbook mobile app it does work however u can't be running began or tnt. Needs to be zpad or CM

Have you tried Picsay Pro? It's a paid app but well worth it. Does layers.

I'm finding that many of these apps do "layers", but they don't do what "I" need from layers. For the sorts of things I do, I copy part of another picture, and then "Paste as New Layer". Both Canvas and PicSay support layers, but only for doing artwork in the program on the layer, which isn't a "true" layer where you could use a layer to try and add a color correction, and then an effect, and blow one or the other of those away by just dropping the layer.
Haven't been able to get to an APK for the Autodesk product. Evidently the "Market Fix" for Vegan, et al doesn't fix the entire market (I also can't seem to find Jet Car Stunts, but that's another thread).
The online editors are Flash based, but usually once you start to get into any heavy lifting they crash. I am going to take a look at Aviary since I think they have an HTML 5 based version.
FWIW...

Pointers to the thread that worked for you would be appreciated. I've tried the normal with stopping the market, clearing the cache, stopping the framework, rebooting - and while that shows more of the market, it doesn't show all of it.
Yes, I am looking for recommendations, but it's hard to say if a recommendation will actually work without trying it. I am not trying to avoid paying for anything, but I can't pay for it if the market won't let me DL it

Seriously, if someone can help me setup my market so I can see it, I will be more than happy to pay for the product.
In fact, I'm kind of surprised that more application providers don't offer an option to order and DL direct for just such circumstances. Does Autodesk really care if Google gets their cut?

OK, bought Root Explorer, and updated my Build.Prop. Took 24 hours, but the market finally recognized my Viewsonic as compatible with the Autodesk app, and I FINALLY was able to buy and install. The controls aren't the most intuitive, but it does exactly what I needed it to. Thanks!

What build prop are you on? mine doesn't recognise...can someone pls rip the apk?

You'd want to get it through the store so you can get upgrades anyway

Nook Classic Library on NST

Is there any way to implement the Library from the Classic Nook 1st edition on the NST. On the classic i was able to list like 20 books per page but on the NST is like 6.

Yes, I've always found the stock Touch Library.apk annoying with its wasteful listing.
I use my own "lean and mean" Library app with 15 books per page.
I have no idea the compatibility with the Nook Classic.
I would guess that it's not very good.

But why would you want to read anything in life besides the Nook guides?
They represent the pinnacle of Western literature.
Um, you mean that you haven't deleted those off your Nook yet?
I found the MediaScanner lacking on a few aspects so I do the searching for books myself.
There's a set of directories it checks, your stuff must not be in any of them.
I'm going to have to take another look at the MediaScanner.

I had extracted the apk and took a look around it looked like my path was included, i have my book in SD CARD/My Files/Books

Hmm. I don't know.
Try Library-1.1.apk in my signature.

Renate, just want to say thanks for the Library app of yours. What a great replacement for the default library app. Cheers!

I'm glad that you like it. It is minimalistic.
Long press on a book item brings up the detail screen.

Suit my preference as well. There's a couple of minor adjustments to the GUI that I'd like to make though. Have you any plan to release the code so we can contribute?

thanks the 1.1 worked.... just one issue.. the sorting by Author sorts by First Name instead of Last Name
if you know how to change to sort by last name, its prob something i can fix if i knew which file to edit, i got the apk unpacked just not sure if i need to edit a smali.

Excuse me, does it use any build-in app? As I did freeze some of them, I guess that is the reason for not working on my nook.

Yes, sorting correctly by last name would be good.
I wasn't sure how many books actually had opf:file-as
Code:
<dc:creator opf:file-as="Collins, Wilkie">Wilkie Collins</dc:creator>
We can give it a go. It will be a bit screwy for books that don't have it.

so in order to do this, each epub's content.opf needs to be edited or is there some change that can be done to the library.apk

Most decent EPUBs seem to have the file-as already in them.
Try the new version in the signature, Library-1.2.apk
EPUBs without a file-as will be intermixed.
If Jane Doe's book is the only one without file-as:

Personally, I'd like to see it in full screen mode, drop the scrollbar and use page numbering instead (like the original library), drop the refresh & sort order bar and replace it with something a bit more elegant (minimal icons?).
Basically something that goes more nicely with my setup (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30296628&postcount=9)
Having said all that, I'm no longer a coder by trade but can find spare time to poke around if need be. What do you think?

the 1.2 is a lot better... author sorting worked for like 90-95% of the books i have
just an aside, page numbering would be a good idea as mentioned above

Thank you so much
I have been looking for a library app that could show and sort by series for a couple days now. This is great my only request would be that I could list the series like folders and then browse series but that would probably be a whole lot more coding. Thanks for this great app though.
