Surprised there isn't an application for this already, if there is I haven't found it.
The idea would be to transmit gps data from a phone with standalone gps (droid x) to a device tethered over wifi which does not have standalone gps (nook color).
Seems like the solution for transmitting gps is always via bluetooth, but why not wifi?
Done! Checkout TetherGPS in the market. I'll have a "Lite" version ready later today so you can try it out first. I've tried it with the Honeycomb v4 image and Nookie Froyo 0.6.8 on my Nook Color and both work. It isn't showing up in the market on the NC though, so I'll post a client APK shortly.
I'll try to make a demo video sometime this week also. Google Maps and Navigation work great.

Unreal! There goes one need for bluetooth.
Go figure today is the day my nook is giving me issues.
Hopefully this works with eclair? I'll give it a try, thanks.
Totally works! I was happy to pay for it.
Had my location within 3 meters on the nook color running eclair.
Used wifi-tether from my droid x. It did appear to lockup my droid x. Had to do a battery pull.
Can I post this over in the nc forums?

Sure, go right ahead.
The only Android devices I've got are mine and my wife's Evos and the Nook Color, so my ability to test different devices is pretty limited right now.
Things I need to work on include:
-Lite version
-Better icons, appropriate sizes, etc.
-Better logging for errors
-Demo video
-Full instructions
The app still isn't showing up in the market on my NC. I'll build the Lite version with a full client and post the APK. That should make it easier to load on the NC for anyone else who can't see it in the market.

I got it through the market on eclair.
Just got back from a test drive...should have a youtube video up shortly. Thanks again. No more issues on droid x after the lockup. Yes the widget size is 1x1 but takes up 2x2.

Just DL'd... If you could make sure the app stays in sync with CM7 nightlies that would be great. I have the same phone NC combo, so this was obviously a feature I was searching for via BT. Cant wait to test later and make a new car mount for the NC.

Works great(TGPS) thanks for this one, EvO + NooK = winning....
Got it installed on my EVO and NC. Just trying to find a way to use the widget on stock Nootered NC. Any thoughts?
Awe-some! =)
Great app, just wondering if there's a way to get standalone nav apps to work with this?
Sygic Aura, for instance seems to require GPS hardware, or NMEA strings and not just location data... is there a way to spoof this?
Edit: Or can this app already do this and I'm just missing it...?
I found it in the market on my Eris, but can't find it in the market in Nookie Froyo.

Download the lite apk on http://www.comptonsoft.com. It includes the full client and a lite server.
It seems to work properly on my HTC Incredible and NC, both running CM7.
I would really like to see the addition of regular app shortcut toggles instead of just the widgets, though, to permit integration with launcher tools like Multicon, Simi Folders and Desktop Visualizer.
My 3G connection is so poor (speed) that navigating while loading maps on the fly just plain won't work. The Nooks connection to my Optimus V is fine, both the wi-fi and the tethergps. I just tried Aura, and I would have sworn that it retrieved the location for a moment, and now it doesn't. Not sure how to get this to work.
Rooted Eclair on Nook Color, all stock on the Optimus.

I should probably note that I have set the Eclair on NC to allow mock locations, but I am not able to find the setting for allowing GPS location as the tether GPS on Honeycomb video shows.
Okay, apparently it's Sygic - Aura doesn't allow mock locations. Sorry for the confusion.

The lite version works, just wondering if the full version works.
Full version working for me... I haven't tried streaming live data yet, but the basic functions of the app work.
Full version works for me. I was streaming a brewers broadcast yesterday.
Works for me. I have a hard time getting into spring training games though.
+1 it woks
Looks pretty cool.
If we have mlb subscription and our Evo's get internet with flash, do we need the app?
Can we watch live games without it?

I didn't see the mlb.tv option anywhere. I'm running CM7. For people who have gotten it working, are you using Nookie Froyo? Auto Nooter? I tried editing the build.prop on CM7 to spoof a Tab, but it didn't seem to work.
For the time being, I was able to get the mlb.tv website working pretty well through Opera on CM7. That'll do, if nobody can come up with repeatable steps to get it working through At Bat, but I'd love to be able to do it through the app if possible.
I'm running CM7 and the full version works with pitch by pitch and audio broadcasting. I also have a MLB.TV subscription and can watch vlive video on the Motorola Droid X. Live video didn't work on the NC. I got the video working through Playon though. Video quality is excellent over my wifi! Watching the cards game right now even though it's on ESPN.
Same here, playon works, DROID2 works, everything works fine but no video option. Running CM7 with the tablet mods. Thinking it's either the app detecting it isn't an approved device or something with flash.
Playon with CM7, video is working for me!
It's said to work fine with the verizon galaxy tablet. I think if we can make it think that it's that tablet, it might work. Is that the Build.Prop that controls that? Anyone know the build.prop string for the Verizon Galaxy Tablet?

Yeah, that's what I meant in my post above. I changed the following in the build.prop:
ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion:2.3.3/GRI40/102588:user/release-keys
to
ro.build.fingerprint=samsung/GT-P1000/GT-P1000/GT-P1000:2.2/FROYO/XXJJ3:user/release-keys
But it didn't seem to have any effect. One thing that occurred to me this morning is that perhaps I should try downloading it with that build.prop in place (as opposed to downloading it with the original one, switching the build.prop, and then opening it.) Perhaps the market serves up a different version when you download it using one of the approved devices.
I'd love to hear from someone who has streaming through the At Bat App working on their Nook. Until I hear more info, I'm dubious.
I will give it a shot tonight. I'll trying changing it and then reinstalling it straight from the market. Will try using the apk from my DROID2, it has working video.
Tried both ideas out, no go.
I wonder if there's more of the build.prop that needs to be changed in order to properly spoof it as a Tab. Anyone have any experience in editing build.prop files for other reasons?
There is someone in the Galaxy Tab forums that clamins they got it working on non certified devices. I'll post if I can find out what he did.
Definitely report anything you find, jkabaseball. I've seen you posting in a few other related threads, and appreciate that you're as dedicated to figuring this out as I am.
Works great on Cm7. W/tablet tweaks, latest build...(has been working on last few builds) w/video, the Astros are Horrible Again, and Mark Texeira is still doing what he does best up in NYC...Go Yanks!

I got the CM7 w/ tab tweaks. You saying the video works on it from MLB At-Bat 11?
So this is odd. Speedtest.net wont show up in the market, None of the browsers I have installed will even go to their website and if I use my browser to go to the Android market and try to download the app it just tells me it will be downloaded in a minute or something like that.
I wonder if anyone can shed some light on why I cant use speedtest.net app on my Nook and/or suggest an alternative.
Thanks in advance.
Using CM7 RC4 download ok but fc
What rom are you using? I just got it to download using CM7, but can't actually run a speed test as it fc's before it finishes downloading the server list.
I never tried this before as I can just go to http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest and use the flash based speed test. Assuming you're on Froyo or better that's probably the easiest thing to do.
Okay not to post like mad, but got curious and tried a few others:
- Speedtest by Xtreme Labs seems to work well.
- cnlab Spedtest fc's immediately upon opening.
- BenchBee SpeedTest only has a test server in Korea, so if you're anywhere other than Korea it's not gonna be a good representation of your actual speed.
Hope that helps you.
I should have stated im using Nookie Froyo Sorry. Ill give Xtreme Labs a shot and see how that does but then again maybe not. I think im going to flash CM7 tonight anyways and then ill play around.
I was using nookie froyo and CM7 is pretty darned nice. Things seem to work a bit better since I switched, epecially WiFi. I kept having problems when the nook would come out of sleep and the WiFi took forever to connect, that went away with CM7.
Thats good to know. I havent flashed yet like I planned but I will soon. I wonder if speedtest works on cm7?
FC on start = It trying to init GPS
There is an app for faking your location: http://www.appbrain.com/app/fake-gps-location/com.lexa.fakegps
I've also found that just turning on the TetherGPS client (not bothering with the server at all) will also work.
Several other apps also do this by the way.. Waze is one, Backcountry Navigator runs but will bomb if you try to turn on the GPS in the app, etc.
That makes sense. I didn't even think about that it was trying to find my location.
Fake GPS is exactly what I needed. Thanks!
I have a Autonooter 3.0 rooted NC. I am looking for the Live Wallpaper Water and can not find it anywhere. It is the one that shows the surface of a pond with leaves. When you touch the screen the surface ripples. Does anyone know where I can get this?
"Waterize" should be available in the Market.
Cheers,
kev
Thanks, that looks nice, but not the one I am looking for.
I believe you are talking about the stock live wallpaper that Google included with Android 2.2 Froyo. Nook just rooted is only 2.1 until B&N provides the rumored 2.2 update (though it will be a stripped down edition). If you flash a newer ROM it will be included.
I have been using Customized Nookie Froyo 0.6.8 by brianf21 for a while now and love it. Much better than 2.1. I am going to try CM7 pretty soon though because I want bluetooth and Android 2.3 Gingerbread.
Look at the samsung galaxy s serious of phones. You cam extract the wallpaper from a rom in the captivate section. It's called leaves I believe.

I am running the Phiremod variant (version 5.2) of CM7. It is on there and set as my wallpaper.
This instance, by the way, appears to be very stable. The live wallpapers are fine. my only (minor) complaint is that some map-based apps die on startup. I have tried many different LCD Density Settings, but I think it does not like the clocking: Phiremod is overclocked to 1.1, I believe.

I didn't see a thread about this here, so I thought I'd post to let people know in case they missed it (considering our NC's were born as "readers" )... Google released a new online article reader/scraper, Currents. Details at http://www.google.com/producer/currents
I tried it out last night and it's pretty slick. I guess its aim is to provide sort of a magazine-like UI for online articles. It's a lot like Pulse to me, but a little less... busy, maybe. It seemed slow, but it was also downloading or synching in the background I think. One cool thing is that you can set it up to automatically download articles so you can read them off-line, which can be really nice since our NC's are wifi only, unless you tether. There wasn't a huge selection of sites by default, but you can add your own. Hopefully they expand on that part of it.
I can't get it to install on my Nook Color. It doesn't show up in the Market when I search for it on my Nook Color, and when I try from the Market on my PC, it tells me that it's not compatible with the Nook Color. Grrr.
Maybe because it's rooted?
Hmm, that's strange. Are you using CM7? I followed the link to the market on that page, then was able to choose to install it on the NC. I'm currently using the Mirage 7.2 Kang build, but it seems to show the normal CM7 instances I had from before ( for some reason I keep getting "duplicate" device entries in my market account)

No, not CM7. I'm running the B&N 1.3 release, rooted using ManualNooter 6.something or other.
Hmm, ok, maybe that's it. BTW, I edited my post above... it was showing my NC as not available to install because it already has it.
Do you have the last market installed, or an older gapps? I'm not too familiar with rooted stock.
ps. maybe try this from the Nook Simple Touch thread... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382966 or the Nook Tablet one... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1383295
It sounds like being on rooted stock might be the issue.
I rooted my Nook a couple weeks ago, but I did not debloat. However, when a notification to update Netflix came up, I think I did the update. Now, the sound is not quite in sync with the picture. Is there a way to tell if I am using the "special" Netflix that came loaded on the NT or if I am using the standard Android Market downloaded app? I'm truthfully not sure that the out-of-sync issue started after this update, but I know it was not there prior when I originally got the NT and watched a couple of videos prior to rooting.
Edit:
Oh, and I did the update while at the GoLauncher home, not the NT home (if that matters). Also, the Amazon viewer does not have this issue at all and works great (after doing the temporary unroot thingy).
I am using the stock Nook app (i.e. not from the android market) and I noticed an out of sync video the other day. I don't know if it has anything to do with the app though. Haven't really looked into it otherwise.
I was watching Netflix on my computer last night and it was all out of sync, I wonder if it is a Netflix issue and not a NT issue?
Watched a show on my computer at lunch and watching a show on my TV thru the Roku right now and both synced perfectly.
I've noticed some shows and videos (sometimes) are like this, try another movie, could be just a temporary problem since netflix is working well on my nt.
This is a problem that I've run into on all of my streaming devices with Netflix. If you go into your account (on the Netflix website) and look at your recently watched list, you can report Audio/Video sync issues.
I've got to believe it's an app (or app plus device) issue since the same movie streams fine on my computer and Roku. Checked my wifi on the NT with Speedtest and I got 16 mb/s download speed, so I doubt that is any problem either.
Does anyone know if it's even possible to update over the "stock" NT Netflix app?

I read that if you leave the actual app in it's original install location and create a symbolic link in system/apps, then you're good to go on updates.

I haven't heard that, but it makes sense. However Netflix is installed to /system/app by default (by B&N), so you'd have to move it out if you wanted updates.

So it sounds like I still have the stock app. Has anyone else had problems with the audio being slightly out of sync.
On my NT it goes out of sync for the first 30 secs maybe then usually catches up.

I am on rooted stock 1.4.0 and the Market is suddenly showing a Netflix update for me.
Very strange. I'd prefer to keep the stcok version.
Just watched 30 minutes of Airplane on the new Netflix app, works great! Im 999 rooted, not Cm7 presently.
I'm also getting an update message from the stock netflix app. Anyone know if i should upgrade? It won't replace the stock version with the market version or anything, will it?

I wish I knew. For now, I'm not going to. I have unchecked the auto update option and that seems to have prevented it so far. Just have to make sure I don't accidentally hit it when I have other updates to process.
Unrooted new nook and audio vidio sync
My new nook which I have yet to operate on has had a/v sync issues with some movies from Netflix. So I suspect it is them, not the NT.
One other thing I have noticed is frequent pauses for buffering, like every five minutes. It is running through our home WiFi (which I use through the TV with a Wii, which will pause for uploading maybe two to four times during the movie.) Do others have this? Is there any remedy for this, or will an SD card help?
every time i reboot my nook, it says there's an update for netflix in the market. no matter if i update or not it always goes back to the stock app. i have the same problem with pandora and hulu plus only i have two copies of pandora and hulu plus has been uninstalled more times than i can remember. any fixes?
I am pretty sure stock version comes in 1080p as where the market is not, however Im not completely sure just use titanium to make a back of the original and then freeze it, install the market version and check out the difference your self, if you find it to not to work out as well uninstall and restore the version that came with your nook.
