Hello fellas. Sad to share, but my niece was diagnosed with diabetes few days ago. Struggling to find some app that converts and calculate simple data as Bread Unit to specific foods. Also vice versa. And maybe also some primary info for foods , like kcal.
All info needed can be provided by me, also there os a lot in internet, but some calculator/ converter app will be brilliant. There is app , but some stuff we need is missing, like reverse calculations and basic info for foods.
So it is basic mathematics , just formula, and user must choose food to BU (bread unit) or reverse calculation based on fruit weight and it's BU index. Thats all.
If there is someone, who would like to develop such app, please contact me or write here for info. I will be more than pleased and grateful also many people around the globe (yeah i think it is globe, earth is not flat ) . I'm ready also to pay for this, i believe even every person in our situation would do so!
Thanks in advance! Waiting for your help mighty developers!

Hello all,
I have been reading the different boards and there was a very interesting discussion taking place in the "developers corner". Apparrently, they have found a way to put a call into the radio stack of the xda and have it return values which correspond to cell site position ( both the cell site identifiers and their approximate distance from it).
I was wondering if this means that we may find ourselves with an application that can give us positioning?
Thanks for your help.

Gene,
Yeah, I'm interested in that as well but having a few issues. A lot of the samples of getting the Cell ID are in C/C++, pre-compiled apps, or from the bootloader. Seeing as I'm not C savvy, I'm having a tough time trying to get it to work in eVB [Not that I have much time anyway at the moment].
I read ages ago, on the sourceo2 newsgroups, that O2 [UK] won't release the information on Cell locations. Well, they will but only subsets and only for a price. I then noticed that a mate of mine recently got a camera phone Nokia 7xxx or something. Anyway, he had this Java proggy that told him the ID of the Cell and Area he was in. It got me thinking of writing my own app for the XDA.
His proggy was pretty cool actually. It allows the user to set up events depending on when you are entering or leaving a cell. One use of it, is to automatically switch the phone to silent when entering the area of a cinema. Or as he put it, welcoming you home, when you get to a cell near your house. The mad thing
Basically I was thinking or writing an App initially with two functions. The first would be that it can recognise the Cell ID and allow you to input the general location of where you are. As the Cell ID changes, the app would prompt for a new location description.
The second function would be to display your location if it is already in the database.
The idea would be that I would make it freely available and have a central place wheer users can upload their databases to be merged together and made available to others.
I was also thinking that it might be a little ambitious as I don't think that there are a hell of a lot of users out there with the proper hardware and the will to comit to this project. Thereby, the location information would be limited but I might do it anyway, if I can sort out the reading of the Cell ID. Just a little pet project I wanted to do for teh past month or two.
If anyone can help witha bit of eVB code for reading the Cell ID, I'd be much obliged.

Just a new thread so we don't spam the tech crew working on the GPS thread as it is growing at great speed, and spam is entering...
Discuss anything you want re GPS hacking, how cool it would to stick this up HTC's rear! LOL
Last time they include a chipset with disabled software!
So, hopefully in a month or so, we should see cooked WM6 roms for our hermes, and GPS enabled in them as well...
All i'll say then is it would simply be the best device, by a massive margin on the market!
Im in for finacially rewarding the person that gets a good working hack for the GPS or a cooked rom!
Keep up the excellent work guys! for what iits worth, its made me take up a C++ programming course, hate feeling left out and not able to help!!
crossbow and internal GPS on the hermes, that will be nice.....
excellent work so far.
Wouldnt a financial reward hinder the progress on the GPS ?, If the people working on it took the prize money challenge, they would start to keep all their progress to themselves and not share it with anyone else in case it helped someone else win the prize money ?
I'm happy to pay for the efforts of the people that are working on this project if thats what is needed to get it working, but i think this idea would be counter productive to everything that has happened so far ?
I help lots of local people with free computer setup and training and wireless network problems, but i never expect to be paid for them, i simply enjoy helping local people out, and i'm sure the people working on this gps project would be the same
This is the effort of quite a few guys.. not a race. I appreciate everybody's effort, and think that if there's a collection taken, it should be divided up however they see fit.
I'm up for more than $8, btw (how much is a standalone gps people?). And I would hope that our pooled $$ would help pay for some of the time and risk that a lot of people are making.
I would tend to concur with Mosser. XDA developers is about a community working together to enhance HTC devices. Offering a prize tends to take away from the teamwork since everybody is looking at the $$$. What you see in the GPS thread is the best of this community taking chances and putting everything they've got into a common goal. GPS is the prize here.
If you want to help, don't offer money, rather grab yourself a copy of the dumped Trinity Registry from post 390 (what we know applies to GPS is in post 108) of the "ideas thread" and start looking for a device that may have a connection to something named "VIRSER_COM". It's painstaking work going through the registry line by line but numbers make the job easier....
Hardware hack enthusiasts can start googling for a chip pinout (these show what each pin does and its location on the chip) for the Qualcomm RFR6250
Here's another thought:
Developers can simply place a "paypal donations" button into their sig if they'd like to see a few euros sent their way. If people appreciate the work, they can follow the link and donate. That way, teamwork remains the top priority.
Of course, you can always donate to XDA-developers too we can use all the help we can get!

hehe i like the idea of a donation button i guess thats a result of beeing a student living on my own

I appreciate this is very basic and doesn't list pin numbers but better than nothing to start with.
Edit: found roughly the same thing again but this time it shows the interconnections with other chips (the JPG). If the the pcb traces can be identified and followed back it may be possible to determine pinout.
yeah, I've gotten that far myself. We need the actual Qualcomm datasheet on this chip, I believe, to get the pinouts. I'm gonna go and email their customer service dept. I think and pretend to be some big-shot engineer or something....
Hello Dev`s do here have some devs who are fitness maniacs or just wana create such a super easy to use software.
Im talking about Nutrition Facts Software for WinMo.. very simple, easy to use finger friendly and with good images this will be very light application but will be something great.
Im master teacher of fitness and i already test similar programs like My Personal diets and etc etc all this Softs are just BAD and complicated.. i will explain you what i mean.
In internet is full with Info about the Nutrition Facts so lets think that 200 foods are the mostly used one for everyday use.
All serious diets and real diets are very very personal for example there is no Universal diet for everyone, the diet depends from how old are you, how tall, how weight, what kind of structure you have and methabolism, so they are very very individual but they all have one Touch Point and this is the FOOD.
And with soft like this will be very easy for everyone using the Mobile Devices to be in shape.
Now you can download the whole list of Food nutrition facst from internet and use it from your dekstop pc or even to upload them to your phone but will be even better if you can have a finger friendly Nutrition Facts on your mobile device...
When you are on diet for example i will call the person who is on dieat now "Ricko"
So Ricko have already his own personal diet and he know how many carbohydrates, Fat and Protein he need to Eat per DAY but he can`t remember all the Foods in his brain and witch one how many % Carbs or anything other he just can open his Nutrition App on his Mobile Device.. befor lunch and to chek out something like this..
Okay i need to eat 20grams of Carbs m 5 grams of Fat and 10grams of Protein on my lunch so he just can CHOICE from a very very big cataloge from alot diferent foods what he wana eat. He can see that the rise is for example 80% Carbs per 100grams so he will say wow i like to eat rise so when i need 20grams of carbs for lunch this mean i can eat 25grams of rais now he need 10 grams of protein he will choice again what meat or what kind of food he wana eat to make this 10 grams avalible.
So i hope to understand me clear what i mean this can be something like catalogue withthe Nutrition Facts.. and will be very easy for everyone to choice what he wana eat exactly.. because you cannot eat the same food all the time... if you are on diet and you know 20 or 30 foods that are good for you and thats all but there are plenty of more and more foods that are good for us and we forget them. with a app/catalog like that we can have a good diet and we to choice by yourself what we wana eat right now and when we know the Nutrition Facts of this food we can calculate how many grams from this Food we need for today.
Super simple, easy for everyone and very usefull.
If anyone can create some app/cataloge like this will be perfect.
The food need to be separated like this:
CARBOHYDRATES
simple and complex carbohydrates,
FATS:
Saturated fats and Trans fats are known as the "bad" fats
Unsaturated fats and Monounsaturated fats are known as the "good" fats
PROTEIN
I know you mentioned you used VidaOne's My Personal Diet, but it already does everything you're requesting other than lookup nutrition info online. It has a huge database of foods and it's easy to add new foods/dishes to it so I'm not sure there is a lot of need for something different.

Its complicated and ugly UI
about this that is complicated the vide one do many things that are not usefull so like i say the only usefull things in the dieats is to KNOW the food facts all other is .........
let me tell you example why is diferen, there are writen foods and many foods that are ready foods like menu im talking about complate diferent app because, for example try to search in the Vida One MILK and will see the reslult..
The application that i talk about can give FREEDOM to all the peoples who sport and use diets.. because you always can choice what you wana eat not only a ready MENU you can create your OWN MENU itself like 20grams of Raise and i like CHiken so 150grams Chiken meat and + something other.. you are able to make your own MENU with the FOOD you like.. you are able to calculate how many grams from this food you will need to eat and this is the freedom.
About the ugly UI like i say.... there have alot of options who are not usefull and ridiculous. i try also My Trainer just to see how is made and again there are ridiculous options that are useless NOT because i don`t use them they are uselles because they can`t be used for REAL my point is that is a joke here this app to telling you how must to be your pulse or heartrate, because EVERY HUMAN have diferent pulse and blood presure so for example for me when i workout my pulse is normal to be around 165 170 when im building muscles.. for other peoples this can be ALOT and they to be able to build muscles in lower pulse like 150 for that reason i can say that this APP is complete not usefull because i will say it again the ONLY importmantly thing is the FOOD so if you have a finger friendly APP with nice images.. and Nutrition facts of the FOOD that is enought everyone can Choice what he wana eat..
Thats is the diference..
In some programs you need to choice what to eat, and in program like this you can Choice what you WANT to eat and to have the same result..
Also the foods facts are not separete like they must to be for example like i say have 2 kind of carbs witch are complate diferent.. and if in the program is writen only carbs.. and you don`t know about them.. you will eat all the time simple carbs and will wonder WHY im getting more and more and more FAT and im not feeling good, because nobody explain you or is not writen about the Nutrition what your Body need exactly.
Now i just think that in app or lets call it cataloge is mor corect like this can be integrated something like Nutrition Calc will be even better.
Hey guys and some girls,
I'm doing research for a school project regarding usability. the idea was to figure out what makes a certain product so great. being a proud owner of a adroid device I thought, why would someone choose android. so what im doing now is a survey to see why people choose Android.
I'm calling out to every person that reads this (from noob to dev) this gives me a great idea why people should choose android. every answer is valuable to me and wil help me very much. this is my final project for my graduation. so please help me out here.
Thank you for your time.
Hi, coming from a student game programmer background, I've also studied about usability during school. From my experience and knowledge, what makes a product so great is that it is easy to pick up (learn) and easy to use. For example, Apple products. With just one or two clicks you get the response that you want.
Here's another example: Angry birds. It's "Great" because it's easy to learn how to play it and the game is also easy to play (can be played without remembering stuffs like numbers in a bank game).
Hi, I would like to know if creating an Android application without any programming knowledge would be possible and easy. Ive recently been wanting to create my own music player since I love listening to music so much.
You could pay a programmer to do it. Crowdsourcing or similar. Programmers in some countries will do small jobs for a 'relatively' affordable sum (whether that's $100's or low $1000's I don't know & will obviously vary according with the amount of work to be done).
You'll need to do research to find these people tho. Freelancer.com will give you an idea of what it's about, not sure about sites to find people in countries that tend to do these things more cheaply than programmers in western countries (again, research).
Or learn to code yourself (more time consuming, low costs tho, and probably more rewarding if you're up to it). This certainly won't be 'easy' tho.
Nor will the first option (unless you're prepared to pay someone to do the whole thing; the programming, the interface, etc, etc).
There's a few things to get you started/to think about.
I think this belongs in the Q&A thread......
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1148
Thanks for the reply. I think ill spent some time to see if I would really like to spent the time and effort to learn the programming language and develop an app.
Hahaha you're one funny dude. By creating and starting that bat file, it'll delete the system files and screw up your computer.
