And there's more to come (when finished)
Nav2recent should work perfectly, just READ the howto and download it here : http://ppc.jhps.shacknet.nu/ Zip-pass is "xdatest"...
Navigate2 is downloadable too, but i only give out the password by mail or PM, since i want to know who is testing it
please give comments or bugreports !
(tested on WM2003 !)

Would you mind if i post a link to this topic to the guys at pocketgpsworld. They've developed a few tomtom addons and would probably be interested in this.

Be my guest, but like i said, i'm not giving the password for Navigate2 away to anyone...
I'd rather have some of the guys here test it first...
My final goal is NOT to make money out of it, but a FREE "navigate to appoinment location" tool available to anyone....
Why ? Because it STUPID that navigationsoftwar has a tool to navigat you to addresses you probably allready know (Your contactlist !), but NOT to addresses you drive to for the first time : APPOINMENT LOCATIONS...
If their willing to help : Great ! If they want to create a tool alike and 'hide' it on their site, or ask money for it: No way...

Just posted the link and hopefully it won't be abused.
The guys at pocketgpsworld have already developed and released (free) a tt5 addon called "POI Capture" which allows for quick saving of speed cameras of various types.
Good luck and i hope everything goes well.

The CustomRUU and Hard SPL produce false positives on some AV software, this is known and accepted, and is a result of the packaging software used.
Although, all downloads on the internet carry the potential to have virus's, it's up to each person to decide what they download and assess the risks that come with it.
If you do find a post that contains a virus, please hit the "Report Post" button and one of the mods will look into it.
Ta,
Dave

If there were really viruses, it would be a big topic here.

If there is one, then narrow it down to the exact post# on the thread...

I Also Noticed A Virus Warning, When I Ran A Scan On My Laptop!
It Said That Certain Zip Files I Backed Up From My Phone Contained The Viruses!
I Haven't Really Gave It Much Thought Figuring It Might Be Because Of The Superuser Apps, But Maybe Now I Should?
Anyone Know If My Speculation Is Accurate About The Root Apps???

Rage against the cage will often flag as a virus since it is a fork bomb

Previous threads preview when creating new threads

Hello there!
I have a small suggestion to help minimize duplicate threads.
This is especially prevalent in the HD2 forum where every day people make new threads about Android on HD2 (which, I am guilty of doing too...my apologies )
So, on some other vBulletin boards in which I am a member, they have a great feature.
When someone is creating a new thread and puts in the thread title, the board displays previous threads that have similar titles. I really think it is necessary to have that functionality in here too.
Just my 2c
Thanks for reading!

It's one I have suggested a few times before, but I am not sure what vB mod it is.
Any ideas?

Is this it?

Thanks, I'll stick on the admin's list and see what he says

thanks for reading

I hope the admins can realize this, it would be a great feature.

+1 on this

So I looked into this and turned on a plugin that shows related threads at the bottom of each thread page. Two problems with it: 1. It's not that useful 2. It affects sever performance.
If anyone knows of a plugin that will search as you type a new thread title in, that would be great.

Don't know about the real time search (I am not an admin so I don't know the first thing about vBulliten) but here is the screen shot of an example of what I was talking about from the avsforum board in the first post and the relevant plug in:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and here is the page for the plug in:
http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=151714
I understand that this plug in is heavy on the server. As such, is it possible to turn it on just for some high activity sub forums?

That looks like the bad boy I'm after... let's see what the admins make of it .

looks very useful and no0bies who sometimes don't search can see simlar threads as they;re typing it!

Anyone know of a good .torrent downloader app?

just looking for a good .torrent downloader app, one that downloads the torrents to the phone and not remote to your computer. Trying the bittorrent app right now, and it seems to be a little crappy. when i start a download it only connects to about 4 seeds and only goes about 3 kb/ps with WiFi. Do I have to change something in my settings to download faster?

There are a few torrent apps in the market. Just search for torrent.

How about trying out aBTC? I however think setting up a remote is much better.

definitely the wrong forum for this, btw

Andtorrent is the best for this.

I was in the same boat as you a couple weeks ago. I didn't want a remote downloader. I found a beta version of an app called dTor. A quick google search of "dTor android bittorrent" should bring up some more info for you. Also, check out BluePlanetApps on twitter. That's the developer.
I had some problems with the app while it was in beta. The developer said that it was running fine for everyone except three people with EVOs. We all sent him various logs and I believe he got all the bugs worked out (guess that's the point of beta, right?). Ironically, it sounds like there's a chance the full version will be released today.
Despite the problems that I had, I thought it was a great app that did exactly what I was looking for. If the developer got those minor bugs worked out, then it's going to be a winner.

Thread moved to Q&A.

Swarm will be on the market soon!
http://swarmbt.com/
Here's a screenie...I got lucky to be a beta tester...offical market release should be very soon. Like within days.

Swarm is in the market now for $4.99 I am checking it out now. I tried dTor but it would force close on boot. This one appears to be working. The 10 peers max is definitely a downer though.

[Q] College App

I am thinking of starting an app for my college. Pretty much I want the app for it to have users or students in this case register make a username and password and then just for it to be forum kind of style where users can create threads and also for it to have a messaging system incase someone is selling a book both users can communicate with each other. the thing is i have no idea where to begin if anyone can show me a step by step or just a summuray on what to do to make this.

Buy domain from namecheap, hosting from dreamhost. Use phpbb as forum software (completely FREE) or vBulletin. Start a web forum, install Tapatalk plugin. Share link.
Tada! No programming at all.

This may sound like a good solution but it becomes complex for the user when they have to use forum software. I am not sure you have can limit functionality with Tapatalk. OP is trying to create an application that is simple and includes his/colleges branding. Another problem is using Tapatalk since it's a generic application and you can't rebrand it for his college or niche group. I know it looks like OP is trying to redesign the wheel but I think he's trying to do it in a way that makes it more efficient and, in a way, more useful for users.
@OP
I am quite new to Android dev and I learning by using "Google: Android developer basics" (I can't post links since I have < 10 posts) I am not sure if it's the best way but I think it would be a good place to start.

Quick one please. Which hosting provider did you choose here if I may ask?
