FUN APP: HD2 Pilot Flight Display using GPS - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

!! FUN APPLICATION, NOT INTENDED TO BE USED IN REAL WORLD AVIATION !!
For all those flight-sim enthusiasts out there: I have created this PFD (primary flight display) which shows the speed, the altitude the coards and the attitude similar to a real PFD display in an airplane cockpit.
Although the application has been created and tested on an HTC HD2, it might work on other devices as well. Internel or external GPS and the HTC G-Sensor are required. It is planned to add a serial communication channel to a PC server component which allows to use this little proggy with MS Flight Simulator displaying the flight parameters so you can get rid of the cockpit panel on your primary display.
Just keep in mind that this is the first version of the program, so there might be *some* improvement potential.
A screenshot of the program is also attached.
Pls let me know what you think about it.
Thanks.

As a pilot I cannot find any sense in this, sorry m8.
Useless for aviation.
Useful might be an HSI-App, an RAIM-availability-check-App, a NOTAM-APP and so on. An artificial horizon on a handheld device... No, not good...

Title correction...
It is just for fun, not intended for real world aviation.
I will change the title so that it becomes more clear.

As an airbus pilot I like it! Lots of scope for further development, keep up the good work !

when I read your discrip, I had something totaly dif pictured in my mind. guess Im falling back on my sail plane lesson days.
I had round face dial and a yaw bubble pictured.
While this is cool, I would prefer to see the old analog style with an altimeter that you can set your start altitude and a yaw bubble, rather than the HUD style. just IMO.
And yes this is just for fun.
Keep it up, I will follow your project with intrest.
cheers

Good Work mate
While some are critical in their opinion I'm pleased with your app.
Keep up the good work mate and for all others who are not so encouraging ...... what do you want for an app a full blown flight simulator, the guys making an effort to develop something and sharing it for a free with us so to help him out at least .... I mean at least encourage him and make some constructive criticisms.
It doesn't cost to be nice and help to motivate others...........

Customize it
Just as a hint for those of you, who would want to use other bitmaps. I have designed the application in a way which allows you to modify or extend it. If you look into the applications program folder, you will find an XML file describing the layout of the display. You may also change or add bitmaps. The bitmaps are all located in the
HTML:
resources
subfolder. If you change the size of the offset of bitmaps, you will have to adjust some values in the XML file as well.
As you can see there all items are drawn in 3d space.
However, I am working on a HSI as suggested before. I will post it later this week.
Known issue:
- After running the application 3 or 4 times, OpenGL is not working properly anymore (not able to create rendering context). This is an issue of OpenGL. You have to restart your device for OpenGL to work again. If anyone has a solution, please let me know.

That would be awesome!

Cool app
Certainly would be better than no attitude information in the event of a vacuum and/or elec failure.Even if just to make flying the performance instruments a bit easier.
I would defintely like to see a HSI app possibly with an open (editable)waypoint database.Anyone interested!?
Keep up the good work!

I love it. Thanks so much...
I just wonder if settings could be made permanent until being changed again so as to start the application without my having to select REAL and AVERAGE everytime.
And as a proud HTC HD2 owner, the display could me made much
larger indeed...
Congratulations and thanks again.

This is a fine app with a lot of potential esp. for UL-pilots as an emergency backup if UL-airplane-pfd fails.
Would be nice if indicators are bigger and the layout equals to Flymap, Skymap or MGL-layout
There is enough place for a nice big yaw indicator. Maybe You can get some code from GPS-tracker V2.0 (MooNah) in this forum, it already has a full working PFD incorporated.
Good luck with further devs., when next version is online I will try it in my gyroplane.

I think it's fun!!!!!
next step: build a flightsim for wm where we could use this

You will be in real danger....if you do so.

As you will easily see, this PFD horizon responds to gravity, that is, to the accelerometers installed in the phone.
It has no gyros, no way to provide PITCH ATTITUDE, WHATSOEVER.
If you keep the phone perfectly vertical and quickly move forward (accelerate) it will SURELY show a pitch up...pretty much the same effects that a stand-by compass shows when changing speed (remember that?...accelerate-north, decelerate-south).
You will have the very same pitch information as the one given by a bottle full
af water suspended from a string, or a can of Coke : and it will KILL YOU as well as your passengers (if any), not to mention people on the ground.
The only usable parts of this FUN APP (as named by the author himself ) in aviation are:
1. True track (not magnetic heading).
2. Altitude (neither QNH, nor QFE related, but of course; unless your flying field happens to be at sea level and actual atmosphere matches the ISA atmosphere parameters exactly). Remember that QNH variations as well as heat will make the GPS readings very different to that of your altimeter, as height of the air column will vary a +/-4% every +/-10 degrees Celsius.
Example. Airplane flying at Flight Level 300. QNH in the area 1023. Terrain at 2000 feet. Atmosphere is ISA+15.
Therefore if we move the 1013.25 setting to 1023 there will be a reading increase from 30.000 feet to 30300 (calibrated altitude, QNH related).
That is 28.300 feet above ground (we start with this as the air column height for the calculation). Since ISA is +15 we add 15/10 times 4% and we have 28300*15/10*4/100= 1698. True altitude is 30300+1698=31988
So we are cruising at FL300, 30.000 feet pressure altitude, 30.300 feet calibrated altitude (QNH related), 31988 above sea level, 29988 feet above ground level.
GPS WILL SHOW 31988 FEET.
3. Ground speed ( neither IAS nor CAS nor EAS nor TAS), as provided by GPS system. Remember that your airplane aerodynamics are related to calibrated speeds....you will stall if too slow ore destroy the airframe if to quick !!!! But you can navigate and make good your track, of course.
Hope I have made myself understood....and that you read this at the earlier !!!

Hi!
It quite very good if the second part under we have the route. I am using the Oziexplore program, it can creates the route, and apear on screen. if this soft applied to that once, could be perfected!
Thanks

great app mate..just for fun...

Nice work thank you. On future can you make like pilot cocpit with all dash boards like in Flith simulator game if this possible. Thank you

Indeed as an Ultralight-Gyroplane-Pilot I like this app and since the Horizon-tab in GPS-Tracker by MooNah doesn´t work right now this could be alternative as a a last resort-backup if glass-cockpit instruments (MGL-Avionics) fail ...... (better to have this than nothing at all and I also have Flymap PPC on my HD2 if main Moving map Nav. fails)
This app has great potential since it reads the infos from G-sensor and GPS.
For the future dev. if I might add my wishlist:
1. Add to screen: slide-indicator and compass, Altitude
2. slightly more refined graphics
As a start: BRAVO, hope You have the patience to go on developing this nice app ( like Dunc001, that made in 100s of hours of work a professional weather app - Duncans Weather Panel - see there - that is more reliable than many professional aviation weather briefings).
I bookmarked this thread and hope for further developments by U
Congratulations

GPS Users : Doing anything interesting other than TomTom ?

I'm looking to get more out of my GPS usage....
Is anyone doing anything interesting other than road navigation ? I'd like to load in things like way points for walks and cycle rides - either ones from the net or just ones I plot in advance.
But I'm even worse at GPS than I am a cycling - so wondered if anyone has tips ?
Thanks,
JJ
You can use ather off-road programs, like OZI CE and COMPE Pocket Land.
They're ideal for biking
Go flying!!
I took mine up in the plane yesterday while flying around my local airport. Dumped the GPS data and made a 3d track file for Google Earth that is color coded with speed too. The result is pretty cool! Download the free version and import the file attached to see the kind of things you could do with any other activity - not just flying!!
Hi, how do you manage with this file ?
What do we do with it after dl ?

download the free version of Google Earth http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html (if you have not used this it is *very* cool!)
You can then open the KML file above and you will see the 3d track of the flight. You may not be exactly interested in flying but there are many applications for the same idea.

This is really cool!! could you tell me, how to prepare klm file by myself? what kind of software do i need on my Wizard? (of course i have gps receiver) - this is really nice, i'd like to be able to generate this kind of tracks of my trips...
Ok, i took a good look at google earth application and i've found a link to gpv visualizer (http://www.gpsvisualizer.com)
i believe that's what You used ;]. whats the greatest thing about it is the fact it supports gps track file of Automapa - polish road navigation software - very popular and quite good - now i'm able to visualize my own roadtrips... thanks for the idea.
Yes you got it right. The GPSVisualizer web site lets you convert lots of different GPS data formats to get a KML file. My GPS software on the TyTn is called GPS Tuner. It saves a TRK file with position, altitude, time etc in a text file. I opened it in M$ Excel and saved out a CSV file which the web site would read and convert to KML - there may be a much easier way but I got this to work so never looked deeper!!
It's fun to try this kind of thing!!
As i mentioned - i was lucky and i can put my Automapa's *.gps file directly to GPSVisualiser. I'm gonna play around with POI files as well, i think it will also work. anyway, its a good news for my fellow polish friends on this forum ;]
But i am still hungry for any other funny/impresive use of gps software, anyone has something even better in mind? sorry bodypilot, but since i don't own the plane myself, the coolest thing i can do is to record a track while ice-skating - which is kinda funny, but still ... ;]
have a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294682
Im trying to find out a way of geotaging the standard camera pictures of the pda
i think i have an idea that is a bit round about, but might work. i'll give it a thought tonight. anyway, useles for me, since wizard camera sucks, so i don't plan posting any picture taken with it ;]
Hi, though I don't have gps, I have been looking up what I could do with it, to see if it really is worth it...
I found the following link, that really seems to have a great potentiall!

SENSE-Plugin for Trapster - anyone can do it ?

Well, I am entitled "Senior Member" but still have no clue how to program apps beside some smaller mods I did (which are already superceded by the geniousses here )
I have downloaded "Trapster" on my HD2 to prevent further costly tickets from radar-shots.
Although GPS-Tracker 3 has included radar-warning I still dunno where I can get reliable and up to date data for this function and how to build up a data-bench that updates automatically (in GPS-Tracker by MooNah You have to do this manually)
Now the idea is simple but building an app not doable for me (not enough knowledge, not enough time to collect enough knowledge )
The app should work like this:
1. On home screen a switch to switch on GPS (or using GPS-Tracker as interface ?) AND loads radar-data from an updateable file on SD-card (preferrably Trapster ´cause it´s a very active community and data are very reliable also concerning "hidden mobile police traps preferred spots" )
2. Once movement is dedected the plug-in checks Your position toward any radar-trap and - even if HD2 is in Standby/Screen off - alerts by acoustic and graphic announcement, programmable in distances 1km/500m/200m before radar-trap and then switches to standby/lockscreen/screen off or whatsoever.
3. PlugIn should be VERY small in size and work in all modes (screen off/lockscreen/standby)
4. GPS-Tracker would be the perfect basis but methinks MooNah is not going to implement a fuction like this
Let´s see if someone hops onto this idea .................

[APP][1.6+] MM Tracker

Hi,
i created an App called 'MM Tracker' which is able to read QCT maps from Memory Map from SD Card and displays them.
The current GPS position is displayed and tracks can be recorded, saved and (re)loaded.
There is a free version called 'MM Tracker FREE' to test the App on your device.
The free version is just displaying your current position on the map.
All other features can only be used with the full version.
Features are:
Tracks are stored to SD card as GPX files
GPS track will be drawn on map
Track properties can be adapted (color, width and opacity)
Overlay Manager for Tracks, Routes and Waypoints
Waypoints can be created at GPS position or by manual entry of coordinates
Routes can be created
Displays compass on map
Map can rotate in direction of travel or by compass
Pinch zoom
Support for landscape and portrait display
MMI files can be used to search places
New maps at current position can be selected with context menu
Maps with larger/lower scale can be selected with on screen buttons
When leaving the current map a new map will be automatically loaded (when available)
'Lock to GPS' can be enabled to scroll the map while you are moving
'Screen Lock' can be enabled to prevent unwanted touch input
When device is switched off (standby) MM Tracker is still recording tracks
Displays the map scale
Volume buttons can be used to zoom in and out
MM Tracker does not support the new Memory-Map format QC3 / DRM encrypted QCT!
Important:
Due to limitations of the Android NDK currently only maps smaller than 2GB are supported! If the map is bigger than 2GB, the map tiles beyond 2GB will displayed as white tiles.
'MM Tracker' runs on Android 2.1+. For Android 1.6 there is a special version of 'MM Tracker' called 'MM Tracker 16'
The development of 'MM Tracker' is ongoing and new features will be added frequently. Feel free to suggest....
You can find all info about 'MM Tracker' here: http://sites.google.com/site/mmtrackerinfo/
Have fun...
MM Tracker is now available for Android 2.1.
As i only could test it with the SDK emulator, it would be great if you could post some feedback.
Michael
Michael,
thank you very much for releasing MM Tracker. I have downloaded the free version, and it's absolutely brilliant. I would say it works so much better than MemoryMap, since MemoryMap on WM had a problem with maps bigger than 200MB. The 2GB limit that still holds for Android makes things so much easier, in that I don't have to split maps any longer.
A few updates that I would suggest are:
speed vector
ability to read elevation data (*.qed files) and to display the elevation profile of a route or a track.
ability to read mmi data and search for a place by name.
With the above features, MM Tracker would be an ideal replacement for MemoryMap Mobile.
Keep up the good work, Michael...
ccristal
Hi ccristal,
thanks for your feedback.
The speed vector is a feature which i am currently working on. But i am not yet satisfied with the results. So it will be available with one of the next updates.
Rgearding QED and Search-Function... the problem is that i do not know how to read QED and MMI files. So for now this is not possible.
It would be great if anybody could supply a specification of the QED and MMI files
Best regards,
Michael

Well... you were not supposed to know the format of the .qct file either. If you reverse engineered that one, I'm sure you can figure out qed and mmi as well...
EDIT: oops... I just realized that the QCT format is public... but we can still work on the other two. I've just opened a .mmi file with a hex editor, it doesn't seem impossible to decode. Let me investigate some more and I'll let you know...
ccristal
Yep you are right ... QCT is sort of public As you can find various descriptions in the internet it was just about to put them in code.
As far as i know the QED format is similar to the QCT format. Only the tile size differs and maybe some other details. I will check this.
And i had a look into some MMI files. Seems to be very straight forward:
1.Section defines Categories
2.Section: Placenames and coordinates
But details have to be figured out.
If you get some more informations, it would be great if you could let me know.
Best regards,
Michael

GREAT app mapman...
Downgraded to 2.1 as dislike android 2.2..
Works well but occasionally lags a bit when moving fast cross country.
Would like to suggest OSGB grid refs and map rotation to compass direction and a compass too..
With these features it will run circles round Memory map.
Have to say there are a lot of us where am stationed who are very pleased with this app...
Looking forward to future releases and YES will be buying full version in next week or two...

Lohtse
Thanks
Hi MapMan
Thanks for this great app, having been 'forced' to switch recently from an HD2 (WM6.5) to a Desire, I became resigned to the fact that Memory Map appear not to want to support Android this side of the next millennium, so the ability to use my OS maps on my HTC Desire is very welcome indeed. Thanks. !! I switched from the free app to the full version after about 2 mins of evaluation.
The App works well for my basic needs, although as commented above, the ability to see height profiles would be welcome, although in terms of my priority wish list I would welcome the opportunity to :-
1 Accurately create routes on the device - with route properties in Miles and Knots (as well as Km). I would like to be able to create routes and edit route points - perhaps by nudging them with the central optical button. This was a great problem with WM6.5 on my old HD2 where all you could do was move the very small point with a very large finger !, and perhaps in slower time look at the route elevation profile.
2 Whilst its good to see tracks displayed, I can't seem to be able to save them - perhaps I'm doing something wrong.
3 A route arrow - although not a high priority for me.
Overall a great app and given my large investment in paid OS maps, this really is worth every penny. To be honest I would have paid 10 times as much for it. I just hope you don't get hassle from MM. Thanks
Hi lohtse,
congrats, finally you got rid of Android 2.2
I spent some hours to get it on my Desire ..... tastes are different

As a lot of people were asking for it i have planned to implement some support for OS Grid. But honestly... i think map rotation is not on the "roadmap" of MM Tracker
Today i added the speed vector as a first step. I think compass could be a nice feature too.
Happy tracking,
Michael

Creating routes is definitely a feature i would like to have too. But as it is a little bit of an effort to implement, it will not be realized too early.
Tracks are saved automatically when you close MM Tracker. But you have to define a correct path for the Tracks (the latest update of MM Tracker has a more convenient dialog to choose the directories).
Regards,
Michael
P.S.: Thanks for your suggestion... i was thinking of raising the price too
hi
mapman are you uk based? if so drop me a pm...
So how easy would it be to create an Anquet Maps equivalent?
Knew I should have gone for Memory Maps!!
Hi Map Man,
Your software seems to be very interesting.
I have a winmo 6.5 and I am looking for a new phone. I know there is no solution for the new WP7 and don't like iphone. So I think about Android.
I just want to know if it's possible to import/export waypoints/tacks between Memory Map PC software and your MM tracker.
Thank you.

I think we have the same opinion there
MM Tracker creates and reads tracks as standarized GPX files.
These files can be imported/exported with MM software.
Waypoints are currently not supported, but will be in future.
Best regards,
Michael
Great, Map Man.
Hope you could add waypoints import/export in the near future.
It's the last thing that prevents me to quit my winMo 6.5 for Android
Thanks for your work !

just to make my explanation from before complete:
If you export your route from MemoryMap as GPX-track and load it with MM Tracker, you can at least see the 'route' on the sceen.
Of course navigation to WP/routes is not yet possible, but maybe this helps you...
Regards,
Michael
Hi,
just want to inform you about the latest update V1.1.5
History
Feature Added: Switch between metres, statute and nautical units
Feature Added: Tracking can be started and stopped
Improvement: Status icons in statusline
Fix: ConcurrentAcces to tracklist while loading fixed (was leading to crashes at startup)
I would recommend this update, especially because of the last item in the list
Regards,
Michael
Thanks Michael, this is such a great app! Really look forward to each update, nautical units much appreciated
How easy would it be to implement quilting / auto loading of next map?

great that you like MM Tracker
But what do you mean by "quilting" ?
Auto loading of maps is actually supported. When GPS-lock is on and you leave a map, the map with the best scale which fits to your position will be automatically loaded.
(Currently no support of subdirs, but this will be fixed)

Thanks for your Quick Reply.
Fixed !!!! just check now
Installing on my Vibrant running Bionix Fusion 1.1
Works perfect, well done! Dell Streak running 2.1
Be ready for Nintendo to slap this with a cease and desist. They are notorious for killing fan-made Pokemon projects.
I just downloaded it, but I installed it simply with an filemanager without rebooting.
It works fine on my Samsung Galaxy S I9000, keep on working
I tried it on my MyTouch 3G loads fine however it seems my phone dont work with it well. I only see part of the screen, nice work though.
Nice game app & works fine on N1. Good Job!
Downloading, will report back
Works fine on Droid Incredible. Needs to be more interaction though. Looks like a good start.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Just downloaded and installed it as I would've done with any other app and it works fine.
Bit boring though
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Downloaded and installed through default app manager with no reboot. Works well, the only issue I saw was when you 'win the tournament' theres a typo.
Galaxy S Captivate running cognition
Just want to say, it's spelled "Vine whip"
Just installed on my SGS, seems like everythings working.
Thoughts:
1) As stated above its spelled "Vine Whip" not "vine wipe"
2) The layout is hideous. I mean your Pokemon's HP and your pokemon should be on the left side VS the opponent's stats and opponents picture on the right. Right now its too cluttered and confusing.
3) "YOU WON and Dou you want to continue" - self explanatory
4) All moves names should be in capital or first letter in capitol
5) Game has no icon/picture (when installed you just have the vanilla android box and "Pokemon" written beneath)
6) Quite plain/boring ... there is nothing going for it at the moment
7) I have some ideas on how to make this very cool, stay tuned for my reply
very nice concept, but watch out for copyright infringements!

Just installed on my SGS, seems like everythings working.
Thoughts:
1) As stated above its spelled "Vine Whip" not "vine wipe"
2) The layout is hideous. I mean your Pokemon's HP and your pokemon should be on the left side VS the opponent's stats and opponents picture on the right. Right now its too cluttered and confusing.
3) "YOU WON and Dou you want to continue" - self explanatory
4) All moves names should be in capital or first letter in capitol
5) Game has no icon/picture (when installed you just have the vanilla android box and "Pokemon" written beneath)
6) Quite plain/boring ... there is nothing going for it at the moment

Also, while it did run on my Hero, it did start off slow and with a FC message, but I told it to wait. Obv because the Hero is not WVGA (at least I don't think it is) the display was cropped in very odd ways. I had about 1/2 of the Tackle command. Anyway.
Especially since you are using licensed images, Nintendo is going to tell you to stop. My suggestion? Keep trying to do what you're doing, but change the names and pictures. Draw stick figures if you have to. Rename Squirtle to Squortle or something. Call it Pokepon. Better though to change course now while you don't have much and you haven't been C&D'd yet.
Good luck
I dont own an android device but isnt there a gba emulator? and wouldn't it be better playing it on that?
Thanks, gonna try this on my Evo!
Nice!
Not as interactive as I thought, but it's headed in the right direction.

Yeah you should take that advice.
1) Change the name to PockeMon
2) Keep the pokemons' names original (Squirtle, Bulbasaur etc) ... Nintendo cannot do anything about this
3) Change the pictures of every pokemon to fan made ones (obviously Nintendo cannot own fan made illustrations or intellectual property) and you can find heaps on the internet just Google for it.
4) Now that we've established this, also do not use anything Nintendo owns (you can find alternatives on the internet) ... with these modifications you wont get a C&D warning.
5) Food for thought; if this is all that your game is going to do it will be a let down. You can scrap the project OR go ahead with just these gameplay = dissapointment OR expand!
6) Expand to make your game an action-strategy Pockemon game!
How?
Make it a 2.5D game based on an isometric view.
+The player controls the movement of the animal/monster with the Trackball/keyboard(GameGripper)
+The player has 4 available moves that are on-screen buttons
+1 button is to evade attacks; jump OR fly (birds) OR dig (certain pockemons like diglet)
+3 buttons are customizable for attacks (eg tackle, ember, sandattack)
+There is a stamina bar (instead of attack limits) and each attack costs differed stamina from your bar but your bar slowly increases when used
+Hitting the trackball/defined key pauses the arena and goes into your inventory where you can choose (Change Pet, Rations, Retreat match)
And what you have is a strategic game that forces you (action) to control your pet, which gives the game a totally different experience from Pokemon games (Red, Blue, Silver etc) but one that is also quite fun!
To illustrate what I mean have a look at this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qumqqJfIJzI @6:30
....now imagine that type of graphics (ie sprites) on an isometric-scroller view instead of side-scroller
eg/ like this but doesn't have to be fancy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssbty-EWrGY&feature=related
but more like this in a 2.5D sprite (so it would run smoothly on most devices) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzR9llkD_bg&feature=related @4:40
Such an App would be sweet especially if you have a Nexus One (trackball), GameGripper device, or the HTC Dream (trackball and keys)
And if anyone is interested, such a Pockemon arena game could be expanded further
How?
1) Let the each Action button glow depending if your pet has enough stamina for that move (hence why the evade/jump button will always be lit)
2) Allow an "arcade mode" where you battle enemies that constantly come unto your screen (eg like the SNES Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle game)
3) Allow the player to win money (to buy new pets/rations from the PockeStore) and win experience points and show off your pet within the App
4) Allow a multiplayer mode where you battle against people that are online (your friend/strangers) via 3G/wifi
And expand further?
1) Now make this game into an RPG like the originals but using the isometric-view (eg like the PSX Digimon game) and add in all the elements from the original.
2) Include "Pockeballs" in the PockeStore
3) Include accessories in the PockeStore (ie armour, weapons, customisations etc)
And a way to "go beyond"
1) Open up the "Trading Post" where you can put your stuff/pets for sale... and conversely browse and buy stuff/pets from other members that made a listing.
2) Link the entire game to Facebook so that your achievements are loaded on your Wall, add your Friends, gift money/stuff/pets to other members, view your Friends pets and achievements (but not their stuff), Send "Challenges" where you define a time where you both must be online and battle (hard to explain in words)
3) Constantly increase the PockeWorld by adding new places to go/dominate, new Pets to catch and buy, new stuff to buy ... but still keeping everything simple
4) Never allow other players to be in the PockeWorld (ie all other MMORFs/RPG's like WoW). Keep it a fun (but long) Singleplayer game with a Multiplayer ability that is quite complimentary. So this would keep things less like other RPG's and more fun (compared to them) but also stupidly simple that anyone can play eg/ Granparent vs Granchild = fight!
... this would be like FarmVille for Android only better XD
And there is nothing to do beyond this

Android Smart Ring - A Step Beyond Possibilities

Production of this Android Smart Ring can start soon as soon as some Big Device manufacturer lays his eyes on this ( I mean when he/she gets to know about this project ). Hopefully Google should be attracted towards this
The Android Smart Ring is an inspired device from smart-watches but has an unique Design,Specifications and can do beyond possibilities.
Watch Video HERE
I am an College Student who got this project Idea. I just want to give this project a Go and see if I can make it a success. I wanna give people a whole new experience of Technology. It's a unique Idea which has never been done, if previously it's done then that must be not as good as this one. The Android Smart Ring features a curved 720p display, Bluetooth v4.0, NFC, High Clarity Speakers, Microphone, powered by 1GHz processor, 512MB RAM, couple of required sensors, has Transistors (acting as a battery which requires no charging) and this ring runs on Android KitKat (or) Android Wear (in near future).
Keep Sharing this Idea and let each and every men know about it. Help me making this Idea an reality Thanks for all your support in advance.
I don't think I understand how you intend to incorporate a 720 P display on a small ring along with a whole bunch of other hardware
I don't think we have hardware capabilities to make your idea feasible at this point

What this dude says is true. It's only possible if you created a time travelling machine and travel to the future and retrieve the techology from there, now this is definitely a viable and possible option for you homie.
Okay.. Wait a min. So, you guys think that this isn't possible. Let me tell you one thing, you must have heard about Phonebloks, right ? Was it possible back then ? Hell no, now Google has taken the project and made it possible. So, nothing is impossible
I would think scale down what you are expecting out of it, maybe not 720P display. Start small, and work your way up. See if you can get a working prototype first even with a basic display that might be small, because 720P is quite a big ask for what I would imagine to be a very small device.
Analyse it from every possible angle and lens you can think of. Here are some examples to start you off: Technical ability of construction, marketing, corporate usage, end user.
Here are some examples:
Technical:
Start trying to see if you can get electronic components small enough to even complete something like this first. If you can, what's the limit available today? Maybe you can't get a speaker small enough, so you work around not having that. Work out where your limits are.
Then let's say with marketing: Who are you trying to sell it to? How can you convince them to buy it? Does it provide any perceived value (not necessarily actual value), or will people see it as an expensive paperweight?
Corporate usage: Could you display advertisements on it without being too intrusive from general functions? Could it be used in a corporate setting, add any value to business running?
End user: Will it be comfortable and easy to use throughout every phase including charging, or would it overheat and cause discomfort? Will it last? Can it be adjusted to suit the needs of people (e.g. different finger sizes).
Give this a thought, and work out if you can provide solutions to every aspect, and identify potential problems BEFORE you even hit the market. You wouldn't want to go through extreme difficulty to process and manufacture it, and in the end it flops badly because of overpriced/poor quality, or maybe simply nobody wants one.

Well, I haven't just though about the production and all because I ain't ready to do that, I just provided a concept (or) an Idea and asked people to share it if they liked it and then maybe in the future a company might notice this Idea and bring it to reality. I never thought of bringing this thing to production by myself (coz I ain't a rich guy). Speaking of the speaker, it can be replaced with vibration alert which will be more effective (it can be annoying too) for people to never miss an message alert (or) call alert or whatever notifications you get.
When talking about marketing and corporate usage, well there's always a way to target everyone around you for it. However, it just requires an simple yet effective Idea to present in front of the public and it won't be expensive (deduction of specs to low-end ones would help).
Of course, it will be comfortable and easy to use. It's just same as your usual ring replaced by this Tech things from which you can see what's going on your device without a need to take a look at it by taking out it from your pocket. It's just a device which shows you alerts about your notifications and allows you to send messages directly to your colleague by using microphone (voice messaging service).
I Hope you are satisfied. Feel free to ask more questions, I am happy to assist you and NOTE :- It's just and Idea which I haven't thought to bring in production by myself.
Beyond B78 Fashion Smartphone can't read some character Blackberry Messenger
How do I cope with Blackberry Messenger and unicode autotext chinese letters sometimes appear on smartphones B78 beyond fashion? I 've been dressing droidsansfallback.ttf from 9MB to 22MB in size but nothing matched, whereas the Galaxy smartphone chat droidsansfallback.ttf 13.7 MB in size can read all Unicode characters.
The character I mean for example:
♪ ♫ * ¨ * ❤ * ¨ * ● ๋ • тєηgкソ υ 4 ѕнαяιηg ● ๋ • * ¨ * ❤ * ¨ * ♫ ♪ ˙ · 0 • ● ♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ ● • • ● ♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ ● • 0 · ˙ ♥ ♠ ѕє ℓ αмαт мα ℓ αм ѕαнαвαт ♥ ♠ ヾ( ¯ ▽ )ゞ
( ( ( ' ^ Ω ^ ` ) ) ) J ( 'ー` )し( ● '艸` ) ☆ L ( ' ▽ ` L ) ♪ ( o_ _ )ノ 彡 ☆ ♪ ( * ¯ ω ¯ ) v ( .つ ∀ ≦ . )
(゚c_ ,゚` . )フ( ' , `ノ) (艸^ ^ ) ( ≧ 艸 ≦ * ) ƪ ( ~ ε ~ ) ʃ ƪ ( ▿ ) ʃ ƪ ( ~ ε ~ " ) ʃ ▹ ( ⌣ ) ◃ ƪ ( ˘ ε ˘ " ) ʃ ( o · _ · )ノ" ( ⌣ _ ⌣ .. )
*ƪ ( ^ ε ^ ) ʃ ╭ ╮ ( ¯ , ¯ " ) ╭ ╮ ( ⌒ ˛ ⌒ )
usually if there are characters who do not read the text box will appear, but in my case the emergence of China. Please Help..
i‘m yedos
that's alittle bit like having an idea of something that's implanted in your eye
ive got an idea, its called the eye phone
what you get is a new retina
with the hardware inplanted into your brain
not sure of the hardware yet,,but the concept is there
also you can have a fax machine incorporated to
this fax comes out your bumbum
Just the part about a small 720p curved display, it can be done for sure but at the cost thats can scale into production? I don't think so! if it was Samsung would already make this kind of device
sent from Carina Nebula with my Nexus 5 inter dimensional cruiser...
I think you need to do some searching and find out for yourself that current technology is not there yet.
Google some of the components you're saying will be in the devices, then look at the smallest ones available. It's just not going to work.
Transistors? They won't be large enough to drive the hardware, if you can find them that will fit in a ring.
720p screen? Why? It's on a ring. Anything at that resolution is going to be UNBELIEVABLY SMALL.
High Clarity speakers? Aside from being extremely vague, you show that you have no idea how this technology works. Get some bose earbuds. Their quality is great. Then again, look how big they are. If they could make them smaller, they would. Hell, even hearing aids aren't that small, and their quality is acceptable at best.
1ghz cpu? Find me a 1ghz ARM cpu at this size. They're not available yet. The manufacturing process just isn't available.
512mb ram? Again. The chips aren't going to fit.
Maybe you can get some of these things into a ring, but definitely not all of them. The technology just isn't there yet. I don't mean to discourage you from your goal, but you really just need to be smart about it. Patent your idea, and keep your eyes and ears on the tech world. Be realistic. When the technology is available, you can bring your product to market.
