[Q] Viper Smart Start Mod? - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Not sure if this would be under developers, general or apps......
I have the Android Smart Start for my car, so i can remotely start my car, I was wondering if there is a way to mod it or make another app to interface with it to start my car every morning at lets say 7am and again at 4:30pm?
Is it possible, what would it take?

This is completely off topic and isn't contributing to the thread at all, but i must say that's one of the coolest things i've heard of on here
The car starting that is.

Tasker should be able to do this.

Tasker would probably be the way to go to get this done!

Download music from where? Are you wanting to buy songs? Stream songs? Pirated songs? BitTorrent?

Well, that's the one area I wouldn't know but you can have a look at this:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.cinderella.music&feature=search_result
Music box pro
Best in my opinion & it's free

My God, it's not that hard to find one yourself. Just go to the Market and type in "mp3 download" and tons of nice apps that do pretty much the same thing will come up. I don't think you should ask unless you've looked and didn't find anything that worked.
I don't think jumping on him helped much here. If he is new to Android sometimes when you look for a particular type of app several pop up and you never know which one actually works best or has issues. Sometimes it's nice hearing from people that have tried apps before you download and waste time.
gtunes is pretty good

It's just like searching Google, or anything else. It's not hard and it doesn't matter if you are "new to Android" or not I don't think. If you type 'mp3 download' (a pretty common thing you would think to type if you want to download mp3s) on the Market, I literally just now did it, the first 8 things that come up will all work fine. It's just a matter of which one you like the best. It's an opinion and everyone has their own. For example: the guy above likes Gtunes while I hate it, and use MP3 Music Download Super. You have to learn to form your own opinions...so anyways, it has nothing to do with being new to Android, you just search like you do anything else, and LEARN on your own.
Im not new to android and I did search those up, however, I have no clue what else is on their servers where they get their music. Things could be infected, that's why I asked what you guys recommend.

Ahh...yea I don't get what the whole deal is with the whole Android getting viruses and everything...they aren't like computers, and the only way something could get on your phone and do something you don't want is through installing an apk file that you give the permissions to. No file other than .apk can be twined with a "virus" and "infect" your phone....I don't know why so many people think that.

Atrix and google plus

At the risk of being a little off topic, has anyone tried the new google plus app? What are your thoughts? I'm still waiting for my invite, if you have an extra invite, i'd like to try it out.
I'm curious what other atrix user experiences are with the android app.

haven't played with it much. looks slick on the UI end. when more people get on there it will become more interesting. I like the local streams from people around you. hopefully it continues to roll out effectively otherwise it will end up like wave.
It's awesome

I heard it doesn't do the video chat/hangout stuff, but it does most of the others. Looks to be a very interesting take on the Social realm. While it appears they are going after the Twitter & Facebook real estate, they are going at it in a different way. I dig it. Now only if they would only get around to sending out more invites already, haha.
It's pretty cool. Obviously still needs work like Hangout but i only have a few friends using it thus far, once i get more, i'll play around with it more.

Yea, I figured that would be the crux right now. It's great to have a social spot, but what good is it if you don't know anyone yet? Soon enough, I suppose.
Looks like they had to shut down the existing users invite service (which they opened up yesterday) due to "insane demand."

Yea, I heard that Huddle is available in the G+ app too, but if you open Huddle up directly (looks like it's own app), it'll take you directly to Huddle. An interesting feature.
anyone having issues with notifications not syncing or pushing automatically??

Definitely not experiencing that issue. Notifications are quite instant, sometimes faster than the little red square that appears on Google sites.
You might want to check out your Google+ notification settings here: https://plus.google.com/settings/plus
and make sure it is set to push notifications at the top as well as making sure the appropriate check boxes are checked.
Mind seems to be pretty consistent.

Oh shoot.. I turned all of them off thinking they were some kind of sms notifications.I was so blinded that I don't even notice the word "push" there.
May be I should learn to read the user manual first. Thanks

Don't feel bad. They styled it to look just like the facebook notification settings page, which is where facebook sends you all sorts of emails/sms, so I was so used to going to that page and unchecking everything.

Screenshots

Not sure if this should go here or in another forum but I just thought I would share how to take a screenshot with the sgs2. To take a screenshot simply press home and then press power. Very useful and better than downloading an unnecessary app. Again if this doesn't belong here mods please move.
Good Tip!
Great tip for anyone new to this phone...how did you stumble accoross this gem and is there a way to re-direct the files to go to the external_sd card instead of sdcard/ScreenCapture?
Awesome! Thanks for that.
only thrill & s2 can do this... tried the infuse doesn't work hehe

I stumbled upon it by trying different combos lol. I have a Droid charge and to take a SC with that it is back+home so I was messing with my wifes sgs2 and figured it out. I don't know if you can redirect it to external sd
Nice find. I played around with this for a while.

This works really well and should've been implemented into Android from day 1.

[App] Quick-Notes for the S Pen

Hey, everyone. This is Obasi42, creator of Obasi Apps and Quick-Notes for the S Pen. Please don't take this thread as an advertisement for my application. I am simply desperate for your help right now.
As you may know, there is a contest going on right now for the best S Pen applications. I understand that my application isn't nearly good enough to win, but I do want to have a fighting chance out there. So, to anyone who already uses my app, or anyone who is curious to find out more, or anyone who just wants to help: can you please tell me what features you would like implemented in this application?
Here's a link to it in the market (it's free!):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.obasiapps.productivity.quicknotes
Bonus question: I'm also creating a gaming app, so what games would you like created for the S Pen?
The competition ends Tuesday, so, you can see why I'm in a hurry.
Thanks!
I tried it out. It's a good, basic memo app. Here are my criticisms-
I would much prefer this show up as an app. I like to have my search button go directly to vlingo.
It's a bit too basic. The s-pen memo app that comes with the phone does the same thing except you have a lot more color choices.
I'd really like to be able to embed pics and maybe voice notes.
Your app is definitely on to a good start. Good luck with the competition!

Why can't I run your app on my Note? I have it installed but its icon is not with the other apps. When I go into settings, it shows that it is installed, but there is no way for me to launch it.
Weird.

Odd, I'm having the same issue...
Sorry about that. In the description, it explains that a search button long-press will open up the application.
When you open the app it says it won't be listed in your apps and to long press the search button

I also dont like how s-memo isnt sensitive enough. Id like a quicker response. If you could over come this in your app as far as software is concerned then i applaud you.

Had that issue also. I'm rooted so I installed touchscreentune and it sorted that all out. Samsung needs to come up with a native app that does the same thing.
Amazing work.
However i can't visit the market on my network. Any alternative method to get it?
can you make your app available upon double click with s-button

Here's my take on the search button long press to launch. Some ppl have reassigned the search button. That may affect the operation without an app drawer icon.
Note...where BIGGER is better!
Play store says the app is not compatible with my Note and Captivate. Wth.
Running stock ICS btw.

You can also skip adding another app entirely and just do it using Tasker. Method here. No ads, no extra app running, great solution IMO.

Man I really need to learn Tasker soon! Thanks for the heads up. I have to find a way to get this to work with the original file names though, I prefer having descriptive names

I'm not sure that this particular method would work if you keep those names, but who knows, there may be a workaround. I actually keep the files with descriptive names in dropbox, but when I move the ones I want to use over to the SD card, I rename them 1 through whatever. That way, I keep the names for my purposes, but they behave when they're on my phone.
Definitely worth the effort to learn how to use Tasker, it's really a revolutionary app. You can eliminate a LOT of standalone apps that just do specific tasks like this using Tasker, and make your phone behave in ways that are positively magical.
