App. for inverting screen

Hi
Last time a was out driving I found out that when I placed my mobile on my mobile on the dashboard it works as a Head up display With some tweaking it works perfect as a speedometer and speed camera warning(using tom tom), but I need to find a application that can invert my display. I tried searching, but with no results. Does someone know about a application that could help me with this?

Search better.......
There are tons of these apps....You could also do that using a simple Mortscript file.... Or maybe using a particular task manager (anyone, except the winmo one, has this feature...)
Next time follow the link on my signature.....

Because when I put the mobile in the dash and the display shines in the windscreen it gets inverter. So i get a bit har to read everything backwards.

Maybe it works....

Think the OP is actually looking for something to create a mirror image of his display, as opposed to just inverting the colours.

Sounds like it yes! Someone?

Sounds like an awesome idea. I have never heard of software possible of doing this, but at the very least I understand what you mean. You want to invert the image, not the colour (text = txet) so it appears correctly in a mirror image (or a car windscreen).
I will keep an eye out, as it should be possible, though I haven't seen anything yet.

just asking, why don't you just use a windshield (or any other kind) mount for all what you want? why go into all this trouble?

Because a windshield mount is all "in your face". Using the reflection is a lot more subtle and is just plain neat.

To those who didn't understand i took som pictures today, maybe someone would take the time to make this kind of program?
The picture are a bit fuzzy because it is nearly imposible to hold the camra steady for the five seconds it takes without i tripod. There are also two reflections from the windscreen, but it is easily readable in real life!

No one knows?

i'm interested in this as well... but just don't have any knowledge on how to do this. one alternative is to perahps add a mirror somewhere to invert the screen once prior to the windshield...

Aviation Software (avitation weather/aviation calculator)?

Hi guys, I´m looking for some aviation software, espacially a weather program that shows METAR, TAF and SPECI weather reports of aerodromes by the ICAO location indicator codes.
Additionally I´m looking for an aviation calculator, some kinda E6B thing or so...
Concerning the weather thing it might be also easy for a skilled programmer to create a little app, because you can grap the necessary weather information easily by the web. There are certain sites like
weather.noaa.gov/weather/coded.html
or
de.allmetsat.com/metar-taf/index.html
and several others (via google)
that offer the needed weather information...
Regards,
insi

I want this too, plenty apps available for iphone...

Plz
Can someone plz make an apps for this service - I really need one.....

Is this something you would pay for/there is a market for?
Also where does this information come from? Can it be easily syndicated?
Let me know and I might be able to cook something up (though it may take a little while).

I would give $10,- for an aviation weather-app!

Google is your friend. Search for WXSYS That prog should do it.

Yes, it looks good.
However, after entering my e-mail address, I still can not send any query.
It does not work for me.

No problem on my HD2 with EDDF. It even gave me satellite images

there is definately a market for that ;-) And I would pay for this kinda app - I think I would pay up to 40 Euro for it.
I know wxsys very well but for german aerodromes, especially the smaller ones it is quite bad...
regards, insi

Hrm,
Ok, maybe I need to canvas an aviation forum to see what kind of response I get.
This is something I might be interested in developing but it might take a little while. I'll keep you posted.

Something similar to aeroweather on the iphone would be great.. Count me in and my $10!! flyingmarvo

Maybe you could have a look at SBSH PocketWeather. It includes METAR aso. Using it for quite a long time. Don't know if that's the right thing for you - maybe a beginning...

After migrating from an iPhone, i am desperately waiting for something along the lines of PilotWizz.
It was great for Calculations, and decodes the latest weather (TAFs and METARs) for easy and simple viewing.
TBH im fairly disappointed with whats on offer on WM in general....hope someone is able to sort something out!!!

I´ve been using the program that´s been said before with good results for Europe:

Does anybody know a program to log flighttime (with a/c registration, callsign, flighttime, date of flight if possible)?

[REQ] tweak to disable vibration on start up

search for sometime now, could not find any leads that may shed light to this
anyone out there? I'll try searching for it in the registry, if only i know where to start

First off, I don't know why you'd even ask for this. It's a tiny burst of vibration that happens only once when you power up the device, and that's it. There's no harm in it and I can't see a genuine reason for wanting it gone since it happens so rarley.
Secondly, you can't get rid of it. It's part of the self-diagnostic that runs when you switch on the device. If you did find a way to stop it (and I'm 99.9999999999999999999% sure you won't) then the phone would probably think there was a problem and not boot.
You're gonna have to live with it mate.

ahhh. . . so cute it neh?? can i cuddle him/her?
ssshh. . . spamming

I was also looking for a solution to this problem.
You asked, why one should wish to deactivate this little vibration on startup...well, quite simple:
My HD2 performs its system backups every night, while it is in its cradle beside my bed. I am using SPB Backup which does a warm reset after finishing its operation. It's really not very funny to wake up every night, only because there is this "little" vibration during the boot up process.
If you are a user of a genuine HTC ROM, there is even an additional little melody playing after vibrating, which is still more uncomfortable! Only for this reason, I just reflashed my HTC ROM back to a Vodafone ROM (which only has the vibration).
I think, it would really be a good idea, If someone found a tweak to suppress the boot up vibration!

For the start up tune I used "JWMD Iconchanger" to delete it... now it vibrates in silence

that cat has really small lips and it's face looks almost human like..

Theme/Wallpaper

I would be willing to donate to anyone who can do this. I did search but could not find anything that I was looking for.
Honestly I think a wallpaper would do just fine. I dont really care what is in the background I like darker colors.
Any how I am looking for the firefighters prayer.
It might not be possible which if it isnt not that big of a deal but you never know unless you ask!!!

The Fireman's Prayer
"When I am called to duty, God, wherever flames may rage;
Give me the strength to save some life, whatever be it's age.
Help me embrace a little child before it is to late;
Or save an older person from the horrors of that fate.
Enable me to be alert, and hear the weakest shout,
and quickly and efficiently put the fire out.
I want to fill my calling and to give the best in me;
To guard my every neighbor and protect his property.
And if according to Your will I am to give my life,
Please bless with Your protecting hand,
My children and my wife."

something like this? let me know if you want any changes. try and be a bit more specific.

THAT IS AWESOME!!!!
Thanks now for the noob question do I just go here on my phone and save it then apply as wallpaper or how do I do that?
Everytime I try to make something my wall paper it is always to big for my screen if that makes sense?
Looks great though hope I can use it!!!

you can e-mail it to yourself, you can plug your phone into your computer and drop it on the sd card, or you can go to this site and download it that way.
when you go to set it as wallpaper you will see a green box over the image, resize that box with your finger so most (if not all) of the wallpaper will fit inside of it. then hit set wallpaper.

Awesome thanks figured it out is their anyway you could just put a black background white lettering?
Sorry to be picky lol its just hard to see my clock now haha
Anyway how are you doing this? like what program?

this one has smaller text than ^ that one ^
i'm using photoshop by the way

[APP] SudoTape . A measurement/note taking tool

I finally finished my first Android app.

Basically SudoTape lets you mark up images on your device, images either saved on the device externally or using the built-in camera intent.
I found that being a code monkey most my life my writing with those ancient things calls pens and pencils sucks. Recently I found I needed to take some notes for measurements of things in my house and found I couldn't read my own damn writing so I thought, "Why can't I just take a picture of what I want to measure and just draw on the picture"?
This is the premise for SudoTape.
Here is the market link: https://market.android.com/details?id=net.pixelsystems.sudotape
Here is a link to the documentation: http://pixelsystems.net/?page_id=66
The app is free so it costs nothing to try it out. Your device doesn't need a camera in order to use the app even if the market suggests a camera is required.

Just curious what became of this app? I'm looking for an app for photo markup and this might have fitted the bill. Not available in the Canada play store though.

I haven't had time to update the app, it was frozen in time on Android 2.3 or something ancient. The entire camera functionality changed since I wrote the app so much of the camera functionality didn't work, or didn't work well enough to keep it in the store. I was getting tons of negative reviews so I just pulled it.
Not sure if I'll ever get back to updating it.. last I looked there were a bunch of similar apps out there so maybe you'll find something that will do what you want.

Funny thing is, it's harder than you'd think to find a really good photo markup app.
* SnapMarkup comes close but lacks text boxes
* Nimbus seems a bit overboard....

Too bad, I liked how the app worked.. Since I can't read my bloody writing anymore I used it a lot when doing some changes around the house. Sadly the SDK around the camera was in TERRIBLE shape, Android 2.X was a mess at the time with each manufacturer doing their own thin in regards to retrieving images from the camera. It made it a nightmare to try and debug and hack through all the different odd behaviors.
Chances are though, even if I managed to rewrite the camera portion to use the new SDK the whole UI is also frozen in time with the notion of having a menu button (which almost no phones do now).
Maybe some day, but not anytime soon. Thanks for the interest though.
