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.

control android camera from desktop?

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.

The Horn Thread

I think Horn is deserving if its own thread here. Maybe we could share tips and tricks as we progress through the game. Try not to post spoilers though or mark them clearly!
Right now I'm pretty early on, just got the ability to forge. Not sure if I should forge a better weapon right now or wait.
How's everyone enjoying it? Favorite weapon type?

I think it is definitely work the $7. Very well put together game and it is working great on my stock device.
My only gripes are the method of moving and in some areas, the quietness. As in some areas don't have any background music. Everything else is magnificent.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
I'm loving it so far. Voice acting is great. Biggest gripe is it's too quiet. Other issue is horrible frame rate drops in the main city. I know the T3 can handle it better than that.
Edit 1: Seems that frame rate is unstable and choppy most of the time, except when looking straight up or straight down lol.
First Impressions:
+ Worth the money
+ Graphic is great. Great scaling (huge monsters!) standard Unreal fluff (bloom, texture, etc.) are all there.
+ Story telling and voice acting is superb. In-game graphic cutscenes are great and mix with comic-style art is balanced.
+ Fighting control is intuitive and easy to learn. Or at least familiar.
+ Look control is great and customizable.
+ Lots of attention to details with the journals and info.
= Roam movement controls is a little odd, but fairly easy to learn
= Jumping and scaling control also has a learning curve, but it's a matter of preference
- I'd prefer D-Pad (a la Dead Trigger or Eternity Warrior 2) movements
- Related to above, no auto-path movement. If I'm standing at a corner, looking at the wall, and touch the other side of the wall, Horn isn't going to go around the corner. He's just going to try to run into the wall. So you have to look to your left/right, move forward to clear the corner, then look around again and move forward.
- Water graphic and other are not as crazy as the hype. No anti-aliasing whatsoever. Medium texture quality.
- No Exit Game button? Just hit Home button from Main Menu?
That's all for now. I'm sure I'll come up with a few more later. I barely entered the village and look around there.
For all experiencing issues with "license not found", launch the game from Play Store instead of the shortcut. Do it a couple times or so and exit properly (?), then try the shortcut again. It should work now.

It works great on my nexus 7, im using clean rom and motelys kernel. There's no lag apart from when changing area where it goes black for a second or two. In the first city i was walking around fine with no dropped frames.

In app purchases are available to help you "cheat" at getting material to upgrade your weapons. Completely non intrusive, they don't hamper the game at all. You can probably blame Zynga for forcing it in there though.
Just finished my first play session and I love it so far. My only complaint has to be the water. Everything else is so beautiful, why skimp on the water effects?
Anyone try using it with a controller such as an Xbox one ? Does it have that feature ?

Just bought this game with my saved PS credit. I played around 15 mins so far and I love it. Awesome graphic and control is actually easy to use. I am not fan of FPS like NOVA 3, Modern Combat or Dead Trigger, it's just a pain to use on-screen button to play the game.

What to do.

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.

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.

streaming to Xbox360 UPnP apps

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.

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 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.

[APP] XBMC on GN II

The folks at XBMC just released their newest version 12.0 "Frodo" Beta 2, and it's working great on our Galaxy Note 2. I though I'll share it with you guys, especially those who familiar with XBMC. Anyone interested can download the apk here http://xbmc.org/download/
Screenshot:
This is awesome. With HDMI out, I now have a portable Media center. No need to run it off of my PC.

Awesome. Great catch! My only issue with it is that it doesn't seem to want to detect the S-pen. For instance, when I was adding my media paths took out the s-pen to tap the folders and nothing. No screen tap detection. Anyone else having that issue?
Also, it took me a second to locate my external SD. Selecting external media actually takes you to the internal "sdcard" I had to go root filesystem, storage, extsdcard. My first Samsung device (been a HTC guy since the blue angel) so perhaps this is the norm but throwing that out there for those who may not know.
I can confirm that s-pen doesn't work with this app. But nonetheless, its still a great program. Since this app is still in beta, it could only get better.

In case you didn't find it- it's all in the setup...
For anyone who may not know xbmc stands for:
X-Box Media Center (of which it was(/is?) originally a port)
There are tons of add-ons you can install. Getting it fully setup can become an on-going evolution.
By hooking your device up to your TV & running this app you can essentially cancel your cable subscription and replace it with xbmc
There are also some additional skins & add-ons which can be found & downloaded elsewhere with a regular browser and installed from within the app (meaning: you can't get to everything that is truly available for this app from within it, although there's plenty available there...)
