anyone using Ipoki on Hero?

Hi All,
I was searching for an app that will show the GPS position of my phone realtime in Google earth. I found Ipoki (www.ipoki.com). It's a great app for tracking phones in google earth and google maps in realtime.
However.. The app keeps crashing on my phone on random intervalls. Anyone of you using this app and do you experience the same problems?
Does anyone know a replacement for this app (just in case i can't solve the crashes). It is important that the location can me viewed in Google Earth. I tried latitude, but the update frequency isn't very reliable.
Thanks in advance.

Isn't this the same as Latitude from google maps??
---EDIT---
sorry didn't read good.

Currently there doesn't seem to be any easy reliable way to track an Android device via Google Earth (apart from Ipoki which seems to have trouble on the Hero). Presumably you mean using Google Earth on a PC and creating a network link to a kml file?
The only apps that come close are Instamapper and Glympse, which offer live tracking via a map on a webpage.
I used to use http://www.mgmaps.com/ on Symbian devices; you can configure a auto-updated kml file which sits on a server and you can point to from GE for live tracking. This works really well, but the app doesn't work on Android yet (though apparently it DOES work with the custom ROMs since they support Java). Keep an eye on this as I think it will work well with the new ROM, and I believe the developer is working on porting it to Android.

It looks promising and i am running the customrom from modaco. However can you point me in the right direction? I downloaden the generic app from the site and put it on my sd card. However, the javabox doesn't show the file, so i can't open it.

Check the forums on mgpaps.com, there are users there successfully running it on the Hero.

[Q] G Maps not working

Hi guys,
i m new to this forum, and i am from india. i am having a problem with my galaxy i9000
the google maps applications does not open, whenever it start the app, it keeps saying loading, even the gps indication does not show up in the notification bar.
please help.

Do you have internet enabled? What firmware are you using? MY recommendation is that you read throughout this forums first and check how people post questions. XDADEV is a community, not really a help forum. No offense, but we may need more information to give a proper answer.

well thanks for the reply,
my firmware is I9000DDJF6, and the internet is not enabled on my phone.

you must have internet to download the maps...

is there any way, by which we can install the maps on the phone so that internet connection is not used. or any app which can be used in place of gmaps?

If you want to use goggle maps there is no way. But if you have the possibility to have internet access you could cache the google maps on your SD, and use them whem u r offline. Download brut and cache the maps for the areas of your interest.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=630887
Other ways is to use other map solutions like OruxMaps
http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.orux.oruxmaps
With OruxMaps you can use off-line maps. It is then pretty easy to download .kap maps of your area and then convert them to .png format and use in OryxMaps.
And then there are possible several other solutions.

thanks,
i will try this and let u know.

there are multiple files in the download section "http://rapidshare.com/users/OJW69I", should i install all the .apk files.

Can't install some apps for no reason?

Hey,
I just installed CM12.1. Everything works great (thanks!) and I tried to install some apps via Play Store.
However, some of them are greyed out. At first I thought it could be due to the lack of GPS and apps that need location such as Grindr Ingress couldn't be installed. But I did it through adb install and they run great.
It also happened with Fenix, BitTorrent Pro, or Yi action cam app.
Is there any way to fix it? I read the first ten pages of this forum and couldn't find anything.

Not currently but there are some interesting developments in another thread that may reduce the number if apps "greyed out" in the Play Store. For now you will need to side load.

Question Maps Download on MI11 Navigation App Sygic don't work

Hi,
maybe someone knows remedy. I use MI 11 with Stock Rom MIUI Global 12.0.9(RKBEUXM).
I use Sygic as my navigation app. Unfortunately no maps can be downloaded. The map downloads are always only in a queue. However, I suspect that it is due to the MIUI download app. The download jobs are queued there, but only have the status 'Waiting for connection', 'Waiting for new attempt' or 'Download failed'. If I copy the link from the downloads and paste it into Chrome, the files are loaded immediately, although it is of no use to me because Sygic then expects them elsewhere. This worked without any problems with all previous cell phones of Xiaomi.
Do you know of a remedy or adjustment screws for checking?
Best regards
Dirk

I'm in the same ROM and maps' download from inside the app work ok. I'm not sure at all about ur alternative approach of downloading sygic maps, sounds like 'unofficial'

What do you mean by 'unofficial'. Sygic was bought and used for several years. I only tested the links from the download app in chrome explorer. I tried factory reset today with same result no maps are downloaded. Download app is version 21.01.26.20. I have no idea what else i can do or check.
Update on 6pm:
Now I found solution myself. I registered as a beta tester for Sygic on my previous MI8 to test android car. Now i have uninstalled the beta version, installed the normal one and everything works perfectly. Maps are downloaded without download app.
Thank you for your attention
Best regards
Dirk

Text-To-Speech help, Resurrection Remix on Moto G6 ALI

Several great roms for this phone, so glad I can use it without the google overreach. Only need a few apps on it, plus calls and texts, and one of the apps is OSMAND (or really, any map/directions app).
Unfortunately, no TTS - so I can't get things like street names mentioned while driving in unfamiliar areas... Yes, this may seem like a tiny issue - that's because it is - but it does cause some problems.
So, if anyone on here happens to know how to get TTS working so that OSMand or any good non-google app can use it, could I get a step by step? Or, perhaps my searching was in error. I didn't find anything other than 'install gApps <google> which defeats the purpose of putting on a different rom. Just point me to the right forum posts. TWRP and RROS 8.6.? both on the phone with no issues, thanks to posts on this forum.
I like RROS, but if a different rom would make it easier I'm open - just don't want Google and it's tracking/control on it. APKPure and F-Droid are good enough for my apps.
Thanks In Advance
Jim

The phone's stock ROM does have TTS installed, do you need to be running a custom ROM?
Also, Waze is an option if you need to hear street names while driving without looking at your phone. Give it a try

I've only just heard about Waze - that sounds like the option for me, if I can get it working without Gapps (want to regain some privacy). Thanks for the pointer I'll look that up.

You're welcome. Gapps is only needed for google specific apps like Youtube or Google movies, books, the playstore or to login on an app with your gmail account. Aptoide is also a good alternative to apkpure or f-droid. I also use apkmirror when I can't find in aptoide.
