Anyone know of a way to disable the compass on the vibrant? I hate it when I am using the navigation and the pointer starts pointing in random directions when I am not moving. Recalculating... Recalculating... etc...
I hope that you are able to find the help you need,

I hope that you are able to find the help you need, but you will not here.
This is the Dev Section and this area is reserved for topics such as Developers, Roms, Kernels, and such.
mugzy you are probably going to find the answers to you questions over at the Q.A. area, their someone may be able to assist you.
The channeling of the questions and the threads are implemented to make this place some what more efficient.
navigation was buggy when I tried it driving 10 west into LA, Google Maps was the solution & it is free.
In the New Google Map (with 3 D) There is a Icon upper right corner to have the compass displayed on the map. Just click it with your finger. Such a fun app!
Good luck mugzy with your Question.

Okay, before, you will flame me for not reading the thread please here me out.
I just upgraded my 6800, so now, I have GPS, and 6.1.
The GPS works great with Google maps and live search.
I guidance is very choppy. I read through the thread about using Astrolauncher. I have no problem making the shortcuts.
My problem is widths changing the output ports. I.e. redirecting com 4 to com 2.
GPS gate costs $40, I am getting errors when I install GPSproxy.
What step am I missing?
If somebody is going to attack me for asking this question, instead of telling me to read through the forum, please direct me to the specific thread and posting. A download Link would also be greatly appreciated.
Thank you, all for your help, I couldn't have gotten this far without, you all.

Iguidance didn't run very smooth for me either so I switched to tomtom 6 and never looked back, runs perfectly smooth and recalculates instantly.

I had the same problem when I first started using iGuidance. I purchased GPSGate, which is only $19.95 for the Pocket PC, not $40, and launch it using astrolauncher and a startup MortScript script. It has been working great ever since.
hi
here's a little pet peeve of mine
whenever i go to share a picture, website link, etc i am presented with a *huge* list of apps that i could ever possibly use
but here's the truth - i only ever use three (maybe four) of those apps
and, just an extra bonus, those three or four are distributed all up and down that list - and yeah, the gmail icon is at the bottom! lol
is there *any* way to modify that list??
or an app that lets us mod that list??
i'm asking you guys cuz you would know
and... if anybody wants an idea for an app to build... there ya go! i'd pay 99cents (heck, probably even 1.99) for such an app!
and, while i'm asking, i might as well say what would be just killer features ---- allow us to pick the say top five apps that would always show up, and the last entry says "all" so the entire list becomes available
would be good to be able to sort the apps that show up in that list too
anyway.. just gonna throw that out there
??
no one has anything to say about this?
Shame that there are no replies, as this is also bugging me. Here's a bump for the topic.
Annoying me as well. Recently downloaded a QR app and the damn thing added TWO entries. I'd love to be able to remove everything but email, facebook, and messaging...
How can this still be an issue
I can't believe there's no way to filter the list or at least sort the list in order used.
'Intents' and MIME-types
Recently I find that I've become rater annoyed with the list for "share via", and started wondering how I might go about deleting specific items or at the very least rearrange the order in which they appear.
I've been unable to find the answer, as most threads, only consist of the question, and no answers.
I did however find out that what causes an app to appear in the "share via"-list is an 'Intents'-argument with regards to MIME-types (.jpg or .txt etc.) when coding the app.
See: (add the http yourselves, as I'm unable to, with this being my first post)
stackoverflow .com/questions/7891473/how-to-write-an-android-share-plugin
&
stackoverflow .com/questions/3553017/android-share-via-dialog
That means, that in order to remove them from the list, we would need some app, like LBE Privacy Guard, that could limit the "offending" app's 'Intents' in certain regards.
However I've been unable to find anyone that seems to know which file to tweak in order to rearrange the order in which they appear.
I doubt this helps anyone very much, but it may just lead someone on the right path to maybe coming up with a fix for this.
Try 'Andmade Share' from the market, seems like it would be what you're after.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5hbmRtYWRlc29mdC5zaGFyZSJd
or
share customizer
Play link
Feature request added at code.google 2012-01-25
It would appear that a feature request has been put in at code.google at 2012-01-25
(Again add the http-part yourselves)
code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=24741
While we are waiting for this "obvious" feature, the above reply's seem to offer what I'm asking for, at least in an app, though it ought to be built in...
Thx a lot itscro & biopsin
EDIT: I think I'll pass on the Share Customizer, with all the funky (chinese?) writing, and dec. 2011 latest update.
Andmade Share however looks like a winner, and I like the fact, that it doesn't require any permissions...
Awesome. Andmade Share seems to do the trick. Love it when old threads are brought back to life and solve a problem.

Indeed, though it doesn't seem to work on Jelly Bean unfortunately.

Maybe not right now, but give it time, JB isn't exactly widespread just yet.
Such is the cost of being on the bleeding edge...

Its been quite awhile since this thread was active, but I'm hoping someone has something new on this topic. I can't find any other threads that cover this issue...
I am just starting to learn how to develop apps for android. I want to start by making some nice easy apps and work my way up to harder stuff. Im having trouble thinking of apps that would be easy to make. I don't really care if they are usefull or reallistic.
Could developers post some app ideas that are good for learning perposes. I figure this will be usefull for others who are in the same situation as well.
It would be helpful if you put a general difficulty level and any hints/suggested research topics.

Look for some tutorials for a to-do list, or a currency converter.
Probably the best thing is to think about a "real" application and then try to implement it.
There are a lots of problem that you could find (connections, storing, parsing..), but they depends on the application.
Thanks thats the kind of stuff im looking for!
Keep them coming people. I would like to see this thread become a resource for people of different levels as well.
I'd really like someone to develop a calendar app where I can swipe down the hours on day view to set my shifts. I get 20 different shifts a per month, loading them individually into stock calendar on my phone is laborious. If I could press on 6am and swipe to 4pm, this would be great. I have searched high and low on the market for this function.
If this is something that you're interested in, let me know and I can expand somewhat.

Business Calendar has the swiping action in its Add Event screen.
Questions should be asked in Q&A forums, not Development forums.
Thread moved.
There's a 'hello world' app tutorial, in coding one simple code.example I'be seen is making tthe screen print "hello world", I assume this is a similar concept. Theyvare in the Development and Hacking section.

hello....i did a search for my question and all relative question before posting this and didnt find anything that really helped. i am on Jelly Beer 3.35, my problem with Google Now is that it doesnt show me any notifications in the status bar and latley it has not been showing me places near me...mainly restuarants, since thats what i usually look for. Sports scores is another thing that it stopped showing me. As far as i know everything that nees to be on is on, location, teams.... everything. could anyone give me a tip or pointer on how to get this up and going again. thanks in advance.....
I've been searching the web for a couple of days, without finding any real solution to the problem. From September 2011, Google Maps decided to lump together its volume control with media apps, that used to be separated. I found a huge thread on googleproducts forums, titled "Why is the Google Navigator Volume No Longer Separate - But Now Linked with Media Volume?" where I see that things have never changed, nor Google acknowledged this being a problem.
Now, at the beginning I was confident that a simple solution existed for a rooted phone (Note 3 9005 for me) but, alas, I can't seem to find anything. Am I missing something?
Thank you.
PS
Not able to link the discussion mentioned above, too few messages for me, still.
I suppose there could be two ways to handle this. One would be to have a "per app" volume setting, through some clever Xposed module. The other a "simpler" (don't have a clue) hack on Google Maps itself. I just find strange that there's so little "literature" around, regarding this, as it's a really annoying problem, once it manifests itself in the car.
