Navigation app on Galaxy S II?

Hi guys,
Been on the dark side for the last 8 months (iPhone 4) and thinking on getting the new Samsung Galaxy S II.
From the specs looks like a great device and really looking forward to its release. In the meantime I would like to know which navigation app will be compatible with Android 2.3? Do I have to use a custom ROM to use free apps?
Thanks for any replies.

For example you can use Sygnic Aura, it will work on SGS II
I am also waitinging for this phone
Free apps you can download from Android Market.

Thanks, will I need a custom ROM?

No you do not need custom.
It works on stock ROMs without any problems.

What about Google's own Navigator? I'm pretty sure it's free but I can't remember, it came already installed with Google Maps & Street View on my Galaxy Tab.

Is Google Navigation working offline?

I do not know what apps will be instaled by samsung in this phone.

It is working online.
BTW I saw the Google Maps navigation icon on movis from the testers.
This I found in another thread

what you need is ownhere google maps 5.3.1, this is a mod version which enabled world wide navigation just google it...

Android has free map apps that do work offline. I am not sure which ones and too lazy to look it up for ya.

here's a good one http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Android

I use Google Maps' Navigator on the HTC Desire, in the car with an upgrade kit (mount & charger). I'd be interested in getting the same when I get the GS2 as it is a fantastic piece of software.

Tx for the sygic aura tip !
Looks pretty neat, map coverage is much better than Copilot, 3D feature and graphics look great and the prize is VERY reasonable ! Almost whole world for 100 bucks !
That will be my first app purchase once my SGSII has arrived

Well why don't you wait and try google navigation, it's free and it will download your route (as long as you have a data connection when you start your journey)

Google Maps/Navigation caches your route and most visited locations so it has semi-offline capabilities.

what about copilote or Ndrive?

I hope tomtom don't take to long. I know they are concerned about piracy. But i will pay when they do decide.

Navigon is a great paid option

Navigon is great alright, however they have outdated Q3 2010 maps and does not seem they will update them any soon.

Copilot only £16.99 does this work ok? or can you get for free~?

Something like Extendet Controls

SENSE 4.0

New things and improvements in Sense 4.0:
- Landscape mode now also in home screen (with optimized buttons etc)
- No on-screen buttons (as on Nexus) but will adopt the 3 buttons (prev. 4)
- 3D Task manager
- Better lockscreen, with better integrated notifications, to-do-lists, notes, contacts etc.
- Updated Email client with threaded messages and improved layout (over all better email)
Smart Sync technology which syncs your email based on your usage habits
- Better Browser, with Read later and Watch later functions. Introducing a new Reader feature.
Reader:feature in browser strips away ads and other useless web clutter
Read/Watch Later: feature in browser saves content in a widget which can be accessed at a later time (even offline)
- Guest mode, lets your friends only test some basic stuff (no phone, data, and special apps)
- Better Camera - when it detects a face, it takes 5 pics and chooses the best one. (I guess a new version of Amaze cam?)
ImageSense: auto focus is 0.2sec, shutter time of 0.7sec
Dual Shutter Camera (video record and take photo at the same time!)
- DropBox integrated (25 GB for 2 years for free!)
- Beats Audio will be universal, meaning allowed in any 3rd part apps (Spotify, YouTube, Pandora, VPlayer, etc.)
- SoundHound seems to be integrated in the music app! (see pic attached in 1st post)
- SkyDrive integration (Microsofts cloud storage 25 GB free)
- Scrollable wallpapers are back. Changing wallpaper.
- Carousel and 3D effects are gone (to speed things up)
- New sounds (notifications etc)
Overall, loosing some of the bloated feel, and now being more grown up with improved speed etc.

HIT THANKS! its free

Thanks for infos, wasn't aware of the guest mode, that is really useful when a friend wants to test your phone
For the task manager I'm not convinced, it launches a too heavy UI for it. The default one of Android 4.0 was good enough. could be bad when you have to close many programs while having a slowdown cause the manager itself is heavy...

Oo, thanks for the update! Didn't realize Sense would actually be good this go around. Looks like it has some neat features.

Thanks for this, I have previously been a hater of Sense but Sense 4.0 is a whole new ball game

I hope text reflow is optional as I don't always like how it interferes with a webpage

The Qualcomm s4 is one of the absolute best chips made! dont think it will be a problem. neither with the quad-core
the program itself aint that big, even thought its "3d-effects" its just images put on the side, nothing dramastic really. so it shouldent be a problem.

Guest mode sounds like a brilliant idea. Hopefully, you'll get to choose which apps can and cant be viewed when in guest mode. It'll be interesting to see how its implemented, making it a setting you can quickly access from the lock screen would be great too.
Any idea on whether sense 4.0 also includes face unlock?

Sure you can. Just install another launcher. (eg. APEX, GOlauncher, Launcherpro) It won't disable the entire sense interface (menu's lockscreen etc.) but you'll be able to live with it till CM9

This is a HTC ROM stripped from Sense. I have something similar on my Sensation. You can still have the HTC Camera App and other things you like from Sense. The rest will be stock ICS.

Things that need to be said about the HTC One X.

Hi everyone.
I´m comming from a HTC HD2 with "Energy Rom" (Android 2.3.5, Sense 3.5), now i got my HTC One X for six days (and yesterday rooting and changing to Rom "Android Revolution HD 5.2.0").
After last six days of testing, it is still an amazing device, but there are lots of bad things that have to be said about the HOX:
1) --> The HOX is not smooth!
The HOX has the most powerful CPU on earth, but still it is not able to run realy smoot. Compared to the iPhone, the home screen doesn't rotate realy smoot, the app-drawer matrix doesn't scroll smooth, and worst of all the scrolling through Pictures lags.
2) --> The HOX is not that intuitive as it should be.
First example - the music player:
When you click on music-player, then first button "my phone" (in german "Eigenes Telefon"), you can click on top the pull-down-menu to change to "genres". Now you click on "Rap" and want to choose the Artist --> but there is no artist! Not even the artists name is mentioned. You only can choose the album-name.
When you pump up 20 Gbyte music, it is not realy possible to easily choose the song you whant to hear.
Second example - the ringtone:
Nomaly you choose the ringtone in "settings --> sound". But e.g. the sms tone must be changed in "sms --> menu --> settings --> notification --> notification ringtone".
Why so complicated?
3) --> The USB Connection to the internal storage is slow.
On my HTC HD2 i used a Class 10 SD-Card. Writing movies or navigation-maps on it, after taking the card out of the device, had a writing speed at about 10 MB/s.
When i read about the internal storage, i thought it is at least as fast as a good SD-Card. But when i connect my HOX via USB i get max. 5 - 6 MB/s.
4) --> The HTC car app does not launch with connecting a bluetooth-device.
With Sense 3.5 you can set the "old" HTC car app to launch when a bluetooth-device connects - this means: every bluetooth-device! So when starting the engine, my car-radio connects to the HTC, the old app starts immediatly.
The new HTC car app looks realy great, but it doesn't start when the radio connects.
And as if this were not enough: the new car app can not rotate to portrait-mode.
Why?
5) --> Lockscreen-Links can not be defined independently.
With Sense 3.5 the lockscreen-app-links can be set as you whant.
With Sense 4 the links can not been changed. They are the same as the links in the dock bar.
Why?
6) --> Homescreen can not rotate around.
I find it realy disturbing that the homescreen can not scroll over from far right to far left.
So guys, I hope you comment these things or give hints or tips.
Best regards,
Nem.

I agree with 1,3,5 and 6
Hopefully they all can be fixed with a software update

Depends on which ROM you're running I guess. The home screen doesn't rotate by default in sense so...
In the end I've never had a lagless computer, but the One X is snappy enough for me...

This is something I don't like either. Honestly, when I bought the phone a pulled a bone head move and hadn't realized there was no SD card... just before paying I realized, and figured I'd give it a go... consider the battery life and lack of micro SD AND USB OTG, I'm a bit miffed about my decision, but still happy enough to stick with it for a while. After all, the Galaxy S3 isn't out yet and ugly as hell.

This seems like an issue with HTC Sense, more than the One X. You might try some non stock apps... if you want a ready made package, you should probably just get an apple product... This is probable something which could be solved by reporting to the proper developers, or by getting the right apps installed on your device.

Realize, this isn't a support forum, but a hobbyist developer forum. If you want Support, go to the developer of the product you want. If you want help, this is the place.

As for the quick links, i believe they did what most people would do assume the "quick links" you have on your home screen and the ones your most likely to use.
also my phone has always been smooth as butter even on stock ROM.

You can change the quick link by changing the dock icon

1. Pretty smooth with me, and this will improve. It's a brand new phone, and htc's always seem to be like this early on.
2. For me it's logical. If I want to change my sms alert, I would go into sms settings. I don't really changed my alerts, but that's the way I'd do it.
With the music app, I use Google music which is easy for finding what you want to listen to. I usually use playlists, and I never use genres, as I listen to what I would class as hard rock. Depending on the band its genre could be classed as anything from rock to metal to punk to progressive rock to grunge to alt rock and another 10 or so permutations
3. Transfer could definitely be faster, but I don't do that much transfering so it's not a huge deal for me. I would transfer across the odd movie or rom, and it doesn't take long.
4. Don't use the car app.
5. I guess they just used the logic that the programs on your dock bar would be the ones you access most often. It makes sense to me, but it wouldn't be too much effort for them to give people the choice.
6. Homescreen rotates on custom ROM, guess it was only designed to be used when the phone is docked? If you mean the carousel effect, this was ditched for sense 4.0. Guess it's part of slimming sense down. As always, some people love it, others want it how it was.
You've got valid points, but some of them are just getting used the slightly different way of doing things.

The Sense launcher is laggy, just slap an Apex launcher over it and you re golden.

After tweaking I transfer big files with 15mb/sec. But with stock it was 4-6.

The music problem is easy fixed by using Mixzing or PowerAMP.

This also applies to the Locations built in mapping software sadly (no portrait mode).
I'm guessing they are trying to push it along with their car dock as a 'package', which holds the phone in landscape mode, but I don't want to pay out on a dock that will likely not fit my next phone, even if it is an HTC. I have a perfectly good universal holder securely fitted in my van which will fit any phone I own thanks.
Not sure how many if any ever used the paid Locations App, but it is handy to have the maps on phone if you have no data connection.
Fortunately, CoPilot now offers a freemium option that lets you download the maps and only pay if you want turn by turn.
I think HTC has tried to simplify Sense because of previous criticisms from 'reviewers' and have probably gone too far the opposite way.
Several of the things like carousel, dock icons, etc. they could have made simple to start with, then added the option to tweak it in the settings. Maybe they will go back the other way in a later version, or modders on here will work out how to do it for them, as usual.
Although I've always used other launchers in the past, I quite like the Sense 4 launcher, mainly because of some of the widgets. However, I will NEVER understand why they went with a 4 x 4 grid on such a massive screen - its such a waste of space.
The only reasoning I can think is that they wanted it to be the same across the whole One series, including the One V, but that's really not a good enough reason to limit your flagship device HTC!

Mine is and I have 80 some apps loaded on it. The only stutter I've noticed is in the secondary weather animations. Read this. It's a Google engineer explaining how Android renders graphics. Power can't overcome some of the limitations she describes. The answer to an iPhone comparison can only be "perhaps you should have gotten an iPhone?" The One X is smoother than any of the six modern (as opposed to a hacked three year old Windows phone running Android) phones I’ve owned in the past two years.

This is my first time using Sense since it was called Manila. I've used Samsung devices prior to the One X. I find the work HTC's done in Sense 4.0 to be pretty amazing. Like rejecting a call with a message automatically adds a task to return the call to your calendar so it’s available at your desk. To me, it's probably the most intuitive and well thought out interface available on an Android phone. Again, if you want intuitive, get an iPhone. Samsung and Motorola's devices are less, not more intuitive.

No, it doesn't. But when docked a cleaner easier to use replacement's provided.
So far these are the things that I've found that I'd like changed and I think they'd impact more people and are more material than the home screen not rotating.
1) No ICS Native Voice Dialer - HTC left it out and all the ICS compatible APK's I’ve found crash. Vlingo is the only way to initiate voice calls over BT and it's far from a clean solution.
2) No LinkedIn Connector for Sense - It worked on earlier versions of Sense but not 4.0. It's a pretty big omission for people that use their phone for business.
3) No Resizing of HTML E-Mail - The stock mail app should be able to allow pinch-to-zoom to adjust the size of HTML e-mail. As it is, you have to scroll.
There’s a lot of niggly things that I’d prefer be implement differently but I’d never post them on a forum because what’s important to me may not be important to others. We each use our phones differently. One device, no matter who makes it, is going to please everyone equally.

Google maps also offers map cacheing, and the http://www.openstreetmap.org/ project has a number of compatible apps which allow offline maps - but the cache is the quality of the map depends on the mapping community in your area... they're usually not so bad

Thx 2 all!
Hi everybody,
thanks a lot to all of you for your postings.
I just wanted to start the discussion, because when you read tests or comments about the HOX, then you most read something about the "first impressions". Magazines, blogs etc. often compare the HOX with the most popular smartphone: the iPhone. Then you may also read something about "THE IPHONE KILLER". I hate phrases like this! Why do I have to kill something that is behind me ?
I just wanted to say, that even the HOX has potential to get better - and thats why I installed the ARHD-ROM
I just wanted to post my opinion to the HOX as objectively as i can be. Don´t missundersand me: for me, today the HOX is the best phone on earth. Never wanted to have an iPhone. I just waited for the presentation of the Samsung Galaxy S3 and on the same Day I decided to buy the HOX.

1- The famous problem with Rosie.apk and the layered widgets, the OnDemand governor of the one X doesn't Ramp CPUs speed to full unless pushed hard and so in the launcher the CPUs are not to blame, neither the GPU since its linked to CPU clocks, the launcher is simply running at low clocks plus heavy layering in the widgets and hence the stutter, solution to this is actually optimizing the sense launcher and this is where ultra rosie mod fixes it
Topic on the issue, please vote since im already in contact with HTC:

6- well its a Sense 4 simplification decision and i quit like it, you either get scrolling wallpaper or frozen wallpaper plus loop, both are actually easy control if you hack rosie.apk

What I was thinking. Why not change the sound on the Personalize tab?

Go to settings > Personalize > right tab will give you all the sounds you want to change. Click on Notifications & you get to change the Default, SMS Calendar, E-mail & Task notifications.

The Sense launcher is laggy, just slap an Apex launcher over it and you re golden.

Doing that though, you loose the usage of Sense widgets?
The whole point of having a htc phone is to enjoy using htc widgets, isn't?

found alternative FM app for moto g

I have been looking for a different FM radio app for the moto g and I finally found on that has more features then the stock on. Apparently this one is included on the boost version but the play store say not available for any other carriers. So I figured id share the one I found.
It is call nextradio and this is version 1.0.357 which is the newest available as if now.
Enjoy!!!

Does not save station list and missing some frequency. Full of Advertisements.
No replacement for stock app
Country : India

Does this support RDS?

Why not just use Tune In Radio?

I have really found this app useful. Thanks a lot

I was searching for a solution to hear radio through the speaker too, and found the solution. Use this widget to toggle between headphone and speaker output! Works perfectly. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chislonchow.toggleheadp
If you are using Action Launcher you can create a shutter on the FMradio icon and place the widget there, so you have the toggle you need in one place.
Works great, without replacing the great stock app.

Great solution...many people were looking for it.....even on g+ and stuff...Motorola officially apologized and said the feature can't be implemented due to some em wave interfere thingy.... Make a tutorial on app forum

Thanks for the feedback I don't have an account on the Motorola Forums, could you post this for me? Thanks

The App (Next Radio) mentioned on Top is quite good but it didn't search for Even Frequencies in INDIA like 102.6, 104, 106.4 so on & so far.
Does any one knows FM Radio app that works on MOTO G {UNROOTED}.
i also triedd Sprit 1 - it app doesn't even work at least Next Radio App is playing Odd Radio Frequency Stations in INDIA like 91.10, 93.50 so on & so far.
Please mail me link or app name if you get to know:

Nice App, Interface is not good and does not save stations but good to have alternative which can play through speakers.
I am trying to make MOTO E's FM Radio app work on Moto G as it has option to play through speaker.

isnt it a shame that moto e has play via speaker option, but moto g doesnt

You can use the App Hf button.

Guys it does save station.
Go to Settings
Then interface
Use Basic Interface & Tap on your Favourite Station
Only Problem with this App is that Even Frequency Channel in India Like 104, 102.6 are Missing
Other wise it's a Great App For UNROOTED Users

Multiple station lists
I'd like an FM radio app to save multiple lists of frequencies/stations found based on GPS/Location, as I have to rescan in the morning/evening at the start/end of my daily commute and loose all stations....
