it doesn't measure the acceleration

what you need is gPC from extreme-apps.com
Huge downside is that you have to pay for it :\
I am looking for something like gPC that is freeware but if you dont mind paying you should look it up.

by acceleration are you meaning like 0-60

To bad that one dont use gforce to calculate acceleration :\
I dont know the updatefreq on the hd2 but gps alone might be a bit off?
Tell me im wrong this would be great if i am XD

Cant you just use a stop watch in conjunction with the speedo then work it out?? I would think that using a GPS application will give you sketchy results at best?

you can get gps performance by searching on google you'll find a torrent of files there.

is it just me that GPC application can't get along well with HD2? I setup the trial version but I can't press any of the icons on the bottom. Only X button on top right works.

you have to pay for it to work propperly i think.
should work well with hd2 since i can activate gps and it registers gforce.
Bottombuttons i think is pay-to-use.

Does that one work even when not in wvga like the HD2 is?

yep works great. 0-60 time for my car accurate 8.2 sec.

Thanks for the tip. This is an amazing program, it well deserves the money. First license is 15 euros though, not 7.5 euros as someone said before.

noob Looking for a sweet contacts tab i saw on you tube

i just got my hd2 using iPhonetoday, lovING it by the way, phone and theme... i saw this bad ass vid on YouTube of a contact list with the contact pictures big to the left and the names to the right, up and down scrolling like the iPhone but i can't seem to find it anywhere. can someone point me in the right direction??? thank you so much in advance...

PhoneEx maybe ?
http://www.iconsoft.com/
I used it on X1 and it is a great piece of software. However it does not use HD2 proximity sensor, which makes it practically useless.

It does use proximity sensor, just dont turn of the WM Phone in options of Phonex

i went to phonex but you gotta pay for it, and after i pay what if it doesn't work right?

is there any way to get free apps like i used to with my iPhone, like paid ones??

Yes, they are called Warez and they are just as illegal on Windows Phones as they are on the iPhone.

PhoneEx has trial, if I remember correctly. Thanks for the WMPhone hint .. will tray it again.

Jeez why didn't you just stick with the iphone, there is so much that can be done with the hd2 and you want to make it look like an iphone ppfffttt

[Q] Pocket Sized Gamepads For Galaxy S

I'm looking for a small gamepad that connects via bluetooth or usb cable to the Galaxy S for the purpose of playing NES/SNES/Genesis roms. Does anyone know if something like this exists?

Any WiiMote should work.

You here to make the biggest announcement since this phone came out?
Last I checked Wiimotes weren't working due to the change in the Bluetooth stack...

Wiimotes SHOULD work once CM6 comes out, but until then I'm not sure. maybe a PS3 controller? but that's a bit complex and not pocketable haha

I can't tell you when Ryan Frawley is going to release a 3.0 wiimote (or if our vibrants will somehow become able to use the old version) but I can say that in the meantime I have an idea as to how to construct something to tie them together like a PSP.
I have seen others using GPS holders and stuff to the same effect, this just seems like it would be a little less akward to use, so long as you can get your phone released in time to answer a call (or just use a bluetooth, heh).
Attached is a picture of the idea I had, anyone that wants to make it happen is free to. No patents or anything here.

Wiimote does not work on the Vibrant. Works wonderful on the N1.

Why do you think wiimotes will start working with CM6. The hardware in this phone is different than every other Android phone on the planet. This is Bluetooth 3.0. Is CM6 going to downgrade it to 2.1?

According to this post the Zeemote works with the psx emulator. I don't knowif it will work with the nes/snes ones or not. I don't know how well it works as a remote either, just remember reading about this the other day when I saw your post an thought I'd share.
http://android.modaco.com/content/s...mote-works-on-psx4droid-with-gamepro-drivers/

ziimote should work.
otherwise im waiting for CM6 to come out, then im planning on making a slimmer/lighter wiimote.

Based on the view count of this thread, someone could make a lot of Benjamins if they patented, designed, and produced a pint-sized gampad with bluetooth that would work with the Galaxy S. I wish I had the money or I'd do it myself because whoever does could make some hefty cabbage. I know I'd be first in line to buy one...I can't stand the on-screen controls for the emulators, but they are better than nothing at all of course.

Now this is worth a look. Anyone try it out on the Galaxy S?

What about mounting it like this guy did:
Well, since I'm a new user, it won't let me post the URL or picture, but I want to give credit where credit is due.... it's over at PPCgeeks forum. Thread number 129886. or search for "DIY - Custom Evo Gaming Mount! (**Wiimote**/SNES/NES/etc.)"

ROFL that's an awesome idea! Great find! I will definately have to try that, its much cheaper and easier since there are hundreds of those plastic wheels running around.

Its not a hardware problem, its software. Samsung put proprietary bluetooth stack in their version of android they loaded on the galaxy s phones. Its imcompatible, it doesnt support the bluetooth mode that the gamepads need to operate properly. thats why using a vanilla rom, or a rom that utilizes the stock google bluetooth stack (like CM6) works fine.

derek how do we know that? did you take touchwiz off your phone?
i think its a little deeper than that... we can ask eugene tho... he is building a 2.1 stock rom on his phone... we could ask him to try to hook up a wiimote

But I have no idea if the MSI bluetooth works with Galaxy S bluetooth stack, or if ANY gamepad does.

[deleted]

I'd donate a few bucks as well if I could get my wiimote working on my vibrant. It's not about the lack of physical keyboard either, as I hated using the keyboard on my g1 to play emulators. You don't get the same feel nor same fun factor on anything but a controller made for gaming.

Video here. Man this thread is kinda old.

Nexus one does NOT support Google Maps 5 100%

http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/06/google-maps-for-mobile-5-unveiled-adds-dynamic-map-drawing-and/

Gotta love the glitches that we paid for!!

Blame HTC. But they make phones made if steel and uranium and not plastic so it all evens out.

That's stupid! I thought Google would have been more "picky" in regards to the hardware the "Development" phones would have...guess not!
Well, I don't really care about the full multitouch, as long as i can somehow get maps 5 on my phone later on. Maybe add a onscreen gesture control (like a d-pad)

Oh they can finally make use of the N1 trackpad for the rotation control.

I noticed Desire HD/Z not on the list. Do these phones also seriously have the MT issue?

The G2 is on the list, so by extension I don't see why the Desire Z wouldn't support it 100% as well. They're basically the same platform after all.

If its just multi touch that the N1 is not 100% compatible with, thats fine, I can live with that. 99% compatible

I don't understand this new version of Google maps.
Andy Rubin was saying that you can now use Google maps navigation while offline?

It saves data on your most recent routes and often travelled routes I believe. This seems like it's a worthy update but I would appreciate it if I could just stick all of north america on my SD card like nokia's ovi maps. This is definitely better than no caching, provided the maps don't take up a whole lot of internal memory.

Pretty effin' amazing there Google...
Thanks for the reply OJ

For me, the problem is the n1 gpu.... the only thing this phone misses...
I mean there's a lot f 3d in there.... Idk if n1 can handle it

It'll work for the N1. Trust me.
By hook or by crook.
XDA ftw!

Theres an app for the iphone where you can choose an area and download it to the phone.
Thats what we need.
So the only data you need to download "on the road" for navigation is the route and traffic information.
Of course it also needs some sort of update feature for the offline data, in case something changed.

N1 has GPU which is plenty fast. In fact, microsoft currently bets it's whole WP7 platform on it.
And Gingerbread Platform Highlights say, that:
Updated video drivers — The platform uses updated third-party video drivers that improve the efficiency of OpenGL ES operations, for faster overall 3D graphics performance.

That seems stupid not to at least go with the one in the Hummingbird CPU instead of Snapdragon. . . it's 4 times faster.

They don't as they're vector-based maps. The new Google Maps update looks really great.

In case you have a smoker in your familiy, take out the silver paper inside of the pack,
wrap it around a pen and try it out.
You know the hd2's touchscreen is pretty bad compared to todays standards.

Yeah, I kinda agree. I look at some of the image editing apps occasionally and cannot imagine how I could get the precision of my mouse from my fingers (not that the apps are quite like Photoshop either)
