[APP][BETA][Update: 12/8/10]chaosHUD

Information:
Please leave some feedback, the more detailed the better.
This beta will run till 12/12/2010, at that point the file will be automatically unshared and deleted. So please download and give feedback.
About the application:
This is just a basic heads up display application with a bit more info than the ones that I was seeing on the market. It displays your current Speed, direction and time in both regular display and a HUD mode(where it flips the image vertically). To enable hud mode simply tap the screen. To switch back, just tap the screen once more. You can also change the speed units from MPH to KPH by tapping the settings button in the bottom right corner. This application makes use of the GPS for speed and direction, and the internal system clock for the time.
Please note, the application may not function as intended, in this case please leave a reply with what happened, and any steps required to reproduce the error.
Thanks
Updated the beta build to which will most likely be the final beta before release(any major bugs pending of course)
Changelog:
*Added settings menu to switch between KPH and MPH
*Properly calculates correct speed based on setting
*Fixed large number showing across screen
*Added speed type display below speed

Hi!
nice app but one stupid question... how can I install it?
thanks!

You have to unlock your phone and then use xapdeploy which is part of the SDK in the dev toolkit for Win Pohne.
BTW installed just fine and it appears to be working as intended with the exception of instead of stating 0 when you are not moving is states NAN?

Device: HTC Surround
Provider: Telus
Works on my device with no flaws however I wasn't moving so I'll update my post when I get a chance to try. The app did display "0" and not "waiting for GPS signal" so I am assuming it is communicating with the GPS properly.

Thanks for that bit of feedback, it seems I fixed the previous issue of it displaying "NAN" when you were still, if it isn't displaying waiting for GPS that means it should be finding your location properly. Let me know how it goes after trying it out while moving. if all goes well it should find its way into the market.

So when I am moving it shows a 6-7 digit number that runs off of the screen, seems to change when I change speed but the number makes no sence.

The same for me with beta 2

Beta 3 is out, download link is the same, please download again and let me know if it works.
Thank you everyone for the feedback, it is very hard trying to debug a location app without actual hardware. So thank you for all your patience and feedback

Yeah I have the same large number downloaded it this morning about 9am GMT
It would be better to have what units Its going in, mph or km/h
Do you do any checking of the quality of the GPS fix? using the DOP values, i cant rememeber off the top my head what is a good value but the lower it is the better?
other cosmtic things you could have is that you could change the colour of the numbers
you could have a trip counter so you can calculate the average speed and travel time
Hope this helps

Hi, this looks fantastic, credit to creator. I was wandering if this could be done for WM6.5? There is nothing like this on WM iPhone. Just superb

Well I should have a test device very soon so I can debug properly. Once I finish some testing on my own device I will release a new version.

Alrighty, got my HD7 to test this bad boy on, fixed the issues that it had(rather stupid ones )
Updated the beta build to which will most likely be the final beta before release(any major bugs pending of course)

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.

[Q] How to add additional options to CM10.1?

I'm using this CM10.1 version here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2104442
It works great, fast, not buggy, but it's missing a lot of features that I enjoy from custom made roms, for example, there are no "Development" sections in the settings, which allow setting the CPU speed / governor etc, there is also a lot of other various tweaks that I can't think of right now that just don't exist, where do these things come from? I'm pretty sure I can figure out how to add them myself, I just don't really know where they all come from, like the "Spare Parts" / "Dev Tools" icons in a lot of roms that have various extra customization options.
Also, one thing that bugs me is whenever I plug the USB cable in to charge, the USB connection window pops up, any idea how I would go about changing that so it *doesn't* do that? I have an app that lets me access and edit the root files so if there's something in there I can change to modify that, that would be great too.
Apologies if this is a lot to ask but once I get started I think I can handle the rest on my own I just need to be pointed in the right directions for some things.

Wow thanks.. had no idea. This opened up a lot of options. Like for example killing applications via holding back button, I was wondering how to add that, but it's in the developer options.

One last thing I would like to know how to change, when my phone boots, about 2 seconds after the lock screen appears, the screen turns off, how can I change it to wait longer on the lock screen before turning off? Is there a file somewhere I can edit the timeout delay?

I was wondering if anyone knew how to get haptic feedback on the menu and back buttons?

I think that you can not enable haptic feedback.

Go to developers settings and in the bottom there is an option for this..

How about the option to display this if there are no notifications? So you don't have to have the extra button press in the top right corner to show it all. Makes sense to me...

Any chance the 3T will get reading mode?

The only thing that pulls me away from my beloved 3T towards the OP5 is the reading mode. Is there any chance the 3T will get that functionality, either officially or via custom roms?

Ask on Oneplus official forum

The Night Mode is same as reading mode

Well, maybe, but if you want to do that automatically, then you need ambient light sensor for it, which OP5 have.

Just go to developer settings -> Simulate color space -> select "Monochromacy".
It will change your display to greyscale.
I haven't looked into the reading mode on the Oneplus 5 too much, but it really seems to be the same thing. - and this feature has been around for awhile now...
Offtopic... I believe that one of the first devices to have greyscale mode, marketed as a battery saving feature at the time (before it was an option available by default in android - the "simulate color space" option) was the galaxy note 4.

Nice, tried it out and it seems to work well. Now to find a way to push-button the setting.

Found a way...
Search for "color corection" with quick shortcut maker, or search for it under nova launcher - > widget - > activities
By not selecting any option (just toggling the on/off switch), it is by default set to the option you had set under "simulate color space" - so... Monochromacy.
Edit: i just noticed... The screenshot with the switch turned on is still colored, although the display was showing greyscale colors )
It's easy to find under nova activities... No reason to install quick shortcut maker for it.

Try the monochrome app from play store (id=com.suyashsrijan.lowbatterymonochrome) it may helps (can't post a link due to spam prevention, sorry)
Edit Well, no, it just starts it automatically when battery is low

buy a op5 instead

Its just a software feature which can get implemented by a custom rom or get ported over so yes

Uhm, it should be, as the OnePlus 5's screen is literally the same as the 3T.

Split Screen to Split Top

Please bear with me if this seems like the dumbest post in the world.
Ok, so right up until a few weeks ago, i loved the split screen feature on my phone. It was as easy as hitting the square button on the bottom, choosing split screen on one app, app folds itself up creating a space below, and then selecting another app to share the screen with. Easy peezee. Could have a video playing in VLC while perusing rss feeds in Newsfold, either on top of one another in portrait mode or side by side in landscape etc. Even my long dead grandmama could do this.
Fast forward to one day last month, i download some usual pixel update prompted by phone, only to discover my oft used split screen is now no more, but now "split top". It doesn't split the screen like it used to do, and i can't figure out how this split top thing is supposed to work. Plus it always says "Pixel Launcher keeps stopping" after several attempts to use the split top function, which is indicating that Pixel Launcher has crashed. But i din't use Pixel Launcher or have it as my default, i've always used Nova Launcher.
Basically i was doing just fine until whatever this update (which i am assuming is 12L) that has ruined split screen for me.
Is there a way to go back to the old split screen way? Or, how the heck do you split screen with this "split top"? I searched around the web and can't seem to find a solution.
I'm really not enjoying my device or being as productive as i used to be.

Hello @LordLugard I just registered to reply here.
After wasting so much time trying to fix this bug on my end, and several factory resets where it didn't fail at the beginning but then it eventually did, I found the solution on another post of a different forum:
-Turn ON system animations.
That's it. That's how it got solved. If you turn them off, the new split screen doesn't work at all. I'm afraid this must be an Android 12.1 bug because I had the exact same bug in a Poco F2 Pro with Lineage 19.1 and Trebuchet as launcher, so it's not phone model specific, not ROM specific, and not even launcher specific.
I hope this helps someone

Thanks for the reply.
Where would you "Turn ON system animations"?

I have it in:
"Settings/Accessibility/Text And Display/Remove Animations"
I had this switch on (meaning no animations), what caused split screen to crash. Turning it off solved it.

Hmmm, doesn't work for me. Mine was already in the "OFF" position.
What the heck was ever wrong with the old simple way? It just worked.

Bummer, sorry that it didn't help. It just did for me.
I don't think so, but maybe you activated Developer options, and then changed the value of the animations scales?
Just to discard animation related settings.
I'm afraid I'm of no help beyond that

Well, what do you know...a bit of success.
Since time immemorial, i've always turned off animations in Developer Options to 0, as i do not care for all the fluffy visuals.
So on a whim i decided to tinker and set it to the lowest value, 0.5x, and that seems to work now. But the implementation is so much different than the old way, will take some getting used to. The old method was so much better.
Thanks for the input.

I'm glad it helped at the end!
I fully agree on everything, I don't want animations either, but we're stuck with them if we want split screen as long as they keep this bug...
Also not a fan of this new and worse split screen method. You press Home and both apps are gone.
