I think my roommate has been taking money from my wallet and I always come home with my belongings moved around. is there an app/ desktop program that lets me remote control my android camera, turn it on at my command without making any noise or indication that its on, and let me view live from my computer?

There are a few. Here's one. If you search the market for 'Spy Cam' or google 'Android spy cam', you'll find more...maybe even a free one. Sounds like you need a new roommate. Good luck. Let us know how it turns out.

Install My Tracks (it's a Google app). Works great, you don't need 3g service for it to work and can load GPX track files from your SD card.
OruxMaps is a more comprehensive alternative you can try as well.

I have two incredibles Verizon branded. What can I do with them? I use att now. So reactivating them isn't really on the to do list. I've looked into rooting and flashing and seems a bit more complex than with my Samsung captivate. If there is something really neat I could use it for it might be worth the trouble. Ideas? Anyone wanna help a fella out?

You could use them as an mp3 player, use wifi only and play games and surf the net, or download a gps app that stores the maps locally since you don't have service on them.

I know the GPS is much better than on the cappy I use now so there is a wonderful idea. I wonder if I could use it for data logging on my motorcycle. Like as a accurate speedometer (with delay for changes in speed) a way to log top speed and as a HD video recorder. Do you have any suggestion as to which GPS nav software to use?

I would do this, and use it as a dev phone for testing (or learning how to compile, if you don't know how) ROMs.

The only navigation app I know off the top of my head that store maps locally is navigon. I have never used it and I see mixed reviews for it.
Sent from my ADR6300 using xda app-developers app
As I have 0 programming knowledge for computers at this time and with God's good grace starting school for it in the winter quarter it does interest me however I fear by the time I am proficient enough the development of this phone and thereby this thread will be long dead. I do want to root the phone and perhaps install a ROM that removes everything but the core of what it needs to operate and a very few apps. As I have two I could use one for GPS/MP3 duty for the motorcycle. So all I'd need is the basic operating system wifi a MP3 downloaded and a good local GPS software. I would think that the GPS software alone would take quite a bit of space.

CoPilot GPS stores its maps on your sdcard (North America maps take up about 1.3 Gb) and does a mostly acceptible job of navigating without using mobile data. The free version is a bit crippled, but what do you expect for free? Street address searches and POI searches also work well even without mobile data, ideal for a non-activated phone.
Another app I use sometimes is Navfree USA. It uses Open Street Maps, so they can be hit or miss. Also, searching by street addresses is mostly broken (Open Street Maps doesn't seem to handle postal codes well). Maps are downloaded state-by-state.
So what can be removed without destroying the os? I need only GPS functions bluetooth WiFi and audio.
Perhaps gmail and the play store. Unless I can use the play store without gmail. Is there a ROM I can flash that is already slimmed way down.

I probably wouldn't remove to much. This is what I am going to do to this phone when my contract runs out with Verizon and I switch to sprint. I'm going to run cm7, which has already been suggested and use the wifi only script which can be found here:

Removing any system apps or parts of the os won't get you anymore space for storage since those are in the system partition.

I don't know how much you may hit the track on your motorcycle, but here are a few suggestions that you can find on the play store.

Looks like an app I may pay for. Even if im not on a track it will still help as there are a few places on my commute I tend to open up and ride hard. Makes my ride home quicker. Seems it could also be used to log top speed and 1/4 mile times. So a lot of useful features.

I have run into an frustrating issue as of late regarding streaming music from my s3 through my xbox using the built in music player. What is happening is the music player will randomly pause while streaming, requiring me to press the play button to get it going again. This is not being caused by incoming messages or calls. I don't have voice enabled. Keep wifi on is also enabled.
Strong wifi signal through entire home. Running frosty Jb v7.
If it's a player issue whats the best alternative? I tried a few from the play store 2player, bubble UPnp, poweramp , winamp. They either have ****ty interfaces or act just as wonky.
Maybe I am just not understanding the tech of it. I turn the xbox, tv and stereo on. Then push the icon on my music player(see attached photo) and it starts streaming through the xbox. I thought it was pretty slick until it started acting up on me.
I'm getting the same thing. Happens more often when I put the phone on shuffle.

Possibly a custom kernel issue? No idea, just a thought. I know they can cause things to not work properly sometimes.

I tried bubble UPnP for a while.. didnt like the interface to begin with.. I want to go to artist then sort through various albums. It did work however until the program itself began freezing up and not retrieving my files. So that was a no go.
I am stock. Am I able to stream music as well? Or do I need a particular rom ...Assuming you guys figure this out.

Can be done on stock as well. Its a built in feature, just need to have a wireless(wifi) capable tv, xbox, or ps3 (maybe some thing else like adapters) pretty sure anything DLNA capable. And phone and Device need to be on same wifi.

I did it on stock very easy. If you have Xbox, as long as it's on, your good. If you are watching Netflix, it will stop what you are watching. You have to use a stock samsung app. I just go through my gallery, find a pic or a movie, choose it, and there is an option which looks like a monitor with a couple of hornizontal arrows going through it. This doesn't work for streaming something on a website or whatever. If it is a file already saved to your phone it will work. All you have to do is go to the picture, or start playing the video, tap the screen and on the top you will find that different icon. Again, you have to have your Xbox ON or it won't show the icon. For Xbox it is cool because you could start watching the video or pic on your phone and want to say to everyone, HEY< WATCH THIS! and with one click it goes.
You can also connect it to work with PS3 but it only works as a media server. Meaning, with Xbox, you can decide, hey, I want to watch this on the Xbox now! With PS3, you have to search for the file and THEN, play it. It's not such an immediate action.
Just curious. I see very few reasons to use this feature. I just hold home for to seconds and hop back and forth. Or copy and paste. What do you guys love it for?

Is it too late to modify the topic before it's flooded with tons of useless pics showing 2 apps running? No offense, but it's an idea as pointless as posting home screens or telling which color phone you bought.
Perhaps we would all be helped by elaborating on, "how have you gotten the most use or productivity using mw"

I find it makes it easier to copy text from an app (like browser) into an SMS/email etc without switching back and forth. Don't use it a lot but when i do use it, it's very useful and works very well.
For me it solves the problem of YouTube shutting down whenever the app is not in use. I listen to a lot of music there and many videos aren't even videos but just images with the audio playing. Now I fire up youtube in 1 section and open the browser or whatever else in the other and maiximize its size.
I use it while doing Google chat with people while also Web browsing.

Does anybody know what the trick is to get this to work. I basically just want to have the ability to turn on my Xbox and turn it off. Anything past that isn't required for me.

Ya. I was hoping somebody might have found an IR code that would work to simply power on the Xbox 360, since pretty much every other universal remote on the planet can do that and more. Too bad.

Hmm, so the options on the remote for the Xbox are a bit lacking. Basically just power and navigation (see attached), with no option for numbers or changing channels in Windows Media Center. It also still uses the "TV remote" when using the TV guide. I use a cable card and media center but looks like the app doesn't support that setup. Still nice being able to turn the Xbox on.
Also if you have the Xbox glass app you can do things like open netflix, xfinity, or HBO go. They don't really use the glass app much, but you can do some scrubbing of video and the "controller" has a few more buttons like the Xbox home button. See attached screen shots for more details.
