Hi all.
Finally got my e-mail saying my Nexus One is on its way, yipeee..
Does googlemaps turn by turn software work here?, or even the android co-pilot 8?
What are you xda members using?
Thanks in advance everyone.
google maps navigation works, dont know about the others.
Really? Are you sure?
Mine just gives directions and draws the route on the map.
Yes, of course it does turn by turn.
Thanks..

Does googlemaps work like tomtom etc, i.e does it speak and say "at the next junction turn left" etc.

yes, and it has Text to Speech, meaning it will speak street names. It also has live traffic and such.
You should probably know you need a data plan for this, because google maps are loaded on-the-fly and are not stored on memory (except your most recent places which are cached)

Google Navigation only works if you're in the US. If the device detects you're anywhere else it will only bring up the standard maps app, so you need a 3rd party one (unless someone hacks it, assuming it's hackable given that it requires data off the net to work.. if google don't have navigation data for timbuktu it won't work there whatever you do..).
Awesome..

I was worried about having the N1 and no sat-nav software for a couple of months...
Is yours a US or International N1? and does it have pinch zoom?
im in US. no pinch zoom because multitouch is disabled in the US.
I didn't think I was imagining the lack of a full navigator in google maps (I'm UK based)
I have co-pilot for when I'm roaming outside of the US.
Works fine.
Anyone using TomTom Australia on Nexus one? If so, how feature rich is this version of TomTom?
- Is it using Sensis map?
- Does it provide overspeeding audio-warning for ALL roads, or at least 99.9% of the roads?
- Does it audio- warn you when approaching speed cameras and red light?
- Does it audio-warn you when approaching schools, or at least POI selected.
Info please..

Hi Henchman.
Which version (i.e. build number) of co-pilot 8 are you using on your nexus one?

Someone in here wrote that Copilot live8 isn't compatible with N1 yet.
That is not correct, it is.

That was me, and I still can't activate copilot on my hero. The problem might be that I have an extra maps license (US+EU installed). I'll post updates if I get anything out of copilot support...
PS: I of course installed the newest version from the market.
I went from G1 to N1 no problem.

Actually, international GMaps turn-by-turn hack has been out for quite some time. It just tricks Google into thinking you're just getting directions drawn on the map, then translates that into navigation data. Works perfectly, except the bar at the top that shows your next turn is blank. So, Google doesn't have nav data for timbuktu, but you can get direction data for it, and that's good enough for the hack to translate to nav data. Gotta love XDA, don't you?
By the way, I don't know if the hacked Maps for international nav has been ported to the N1 yet or not, but it is relatively simple. I'll talk to someone and see if we can't get it working soon.
Any navigation software for Android which supports Sweden cities?
I am looking for a navigation software which provide Navigation in Sweden. Specially I am looking for Navigation support in the following cities:
-Gothenburg City
-Stockholm City
-Vasteras
-Jonkoping
-Uppsala
Thanks.
Just felt like sharing as i have been hoping for this for a while
now can't wait for them to finish 4G
Great Work Cyanogen
Thanks for sharing the news. I for one would love to see HDMI support over 4G, but both would be even better!
I'm still using CM6. I don't like running beta versions. I can't wait for 6.1!!!

well not perfect
it's a speaker icon rather then text (it wouldn't let me add text) but at least it's not chinese
also launcher icon is the HTC radio launcher icon
the apk is not signed nor do i plan on signing it since i made it for personal use
and my signing app was for windows and i just removed windos on my computer and replaced it with linux
install via adb or root explorer (remember to change permissions with explorer)

Does the FM radio only work with headphones?
Been some work on the FM packages today on Github:
FM: New art from HaXzAmaTiC
FM: Fix notification string
FM: Enable Settings menu
FM: Add "about" that links to MIUI
FM: Fix case on strings to match Android convention
Merge "Added Italian translations:" into froyo

Sadly, yes. It also apparently needs Bluetooth to be on.
Can someone post a screenshot of the radio app? I'd like to try something.

Hey guys, I was thinking about contributing something to Cyanogen for a while now so I decided to make a new skin for the radio. It's super rough, details are wonky, buttons are missing, and everything is disproportionate or unaligned; but so far what do ya' think?
So what is with Maps on the Xoom? There are no pushpinsfor the locations I search for and when I do directions the route isn't highlighted at all. This seems like a poor implementation compared to the Android phone version. Am I missing something?

Try updating, also you have to be connected to the internet when you first get the route/info.

The phone version and the tablet version are in the exact same APK file, they work exactly the same for me.
I apologize if this has been discussed, I really did search and only found one place where this was asked, but there was no answer. According to the Samsung 7.7 features page it says this "Mini Apps : Upgraded so you can choose and edit your own Mini Apps tray. You can easily access favorite features such as Calendar, Email, or PenMemo as a pop up over full screen applications. " So obviously my question is this. How is this done? Or is it even possible on my model? Thank you and again sorry of this has already been addressed.
If you look at the bottom bar on your Tab you will see an icon that looks like an upside down 'v'. Click on it and it will bring up your mini-apps tray. You can launch those mini apps over the app you are in.

I think you misunderstood my question. I know about the up/ down arrow and the mini apps. But it says that is is Upgraded so you can choose and edit your own Mini Apps tray. So Im trying to figure out how to change them if its possible on the wifi only 6810. Thanks

Im not totally sure which one I used, but it might have been the one in post 19. But that one will change the icons as well. Im not sure where you might get one that is stock. The same author of that thread "Ssaass" makes an app called "Wizzbar" that might help you. I may be able to make one for you. Upload your systemui.apk and Ill see what I can do.

Ok, didnt think I forgot about you did you? I think this is what your looking for. The edit function shows up when you press the mini apps button. Lower right corner, cant miss it. This is all stock icons with edit function built in. Hope this is what you wanted. I tested this on my rooted stock 6810. Let me know if it works.
PS: For anyone that might want to know how I did it. All I did was use the "layout" folder in the Res folder from the apk that has the edit function. Then rezipped, changed name and permissions, and put back into system/ app.
Awesome... Thanks for your time. I'll try it when i get home tonight. I'm thanking you now anyway...

Yes, it works, thanks... But what I didn't expect is that you can't add any app you want, it's just limited to some samsung "mini" apps which really su**s!
I wonder if there's a way around that...
Thanks again I really appreciate it anyway.

Hey all
I know quite a few people are unhappy about not seeing the People Widget on the new HTC 10, so I decided to extract the APK from my old M8 and installed it on the HTC 10.
For anyone else who is interested it getting the People Widget back, here is it.
It's been uploaded to my Google Drive, but if anyone can recommend a better place to upload it, I'll happily make it available for everyone.

I tried extracting the HTC Music app and successfully installed it onto the HTC10, but every time I launched it, it would crash.
That is the reason why I didn't upload the file here.
The Google Play app takes a bit of getting use to, and you have to really stay on top of your MP3 ID3 tags, but once you get use to it, it isn't so bad.
Only wish it had the ability to sort by folder, but the HTC Music app didn't have that ability either
