GPS Notification is a passive application that displays your current GPS information in your notification bar. It starts automatically whenever something uses the GPS.
It is available on Google Market and Amazon for $0.99! I've been developing this for several months, but haven't been advertising it at all. Perhaps it is time for that to change!

GPS Notification is very configurable. The icon displayed in the status bar can display the number of satellites in view or use, or your speed, or your accuracy, making this a convenient "at-a-glance" tool if you're using a Maps app and want some GPS related information not being shown.

}
Pulling down the notification shade will show more detailed information, such as the signal strengths of each satellite as bar graphs, and if your GPS has a lock, even more information such as your accuracy, speed, bearing, lat/lon, and altitude
The application is configurable, although you will never need to configure it if you do not wish to. You can have the settings screen run the GPS for as long as you are there, to see your changes immediately.
I would appreciate comments and feedback! In particular, while I've tested on my own devices, I haven't tested on all of them. Note that the application doesn't really look great on Honeycomb; that may be another update down the line.
I've been using this app for a while and have found it very useful. Really Google should think of including something similar to this in the default GPS notification, but in the meantime this works well
Good job.
Thank you for the kind words! Any problems, or requests, or ideas?
Hi there,
this is for sure a nice app. But better watch out, that you don't violate the forum rules. They say that it is not ok, to try to sell (advertise) any app unless there isn't a free version (can be ad-supported) shared for the community.
Please check these links:
Forum Rules (espacially post 2, point 11): http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=263#td_post_81
There is a thread on XDA where you can place your paid apps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=993
It would be bad, if a great app like yours would get banned...
Cheers, berkley
Shoot, you are right. Is there a way to move the thread entirely?
Great app and thank you. Please see attached screen shots of pull down notification issue. I think it is related to the color choices on the transparent areas. I believe that Android has a specific color option that should be used on transparent areas to ensure that regardless of the color theme, the correct color displays when there is transparency.

I would like to present the new “Neon Clock” created by CodeDaemons team (which consists of two graphic designers and one programmer). It is one of the first widgets created by us, but we did our best to ensure that our application would work efficiently. It is completely free version of Neon Clock, however there's always a possibility that payable version will be available in the future.
Beautiful Neon Clock in Google Play
And our profile link.
We are looking forward to read Your opinions!
Cheers!
oh... these look nice!! thanks for sharing. I don't normally use a clock widget, but I might use this...
Fyi this has ads in the notification bar

doesnt spam those ads that often
And if you want you can install adblock for the phone
I would use if the clocks were transparent, any plans to do this?
Been using for some hours now, it just seems to be draining my battery, any solutions?
I really like the look of it.

@tranceph0rmer
please note that those apps will display false battery usage as the service for clock is only ran once a minute and is disabled for the rest of time

I second the transparency, I think that would look nice. About the "false" battery usage though, why would it be reported that way if it wasn't actually using that much battery? Is that just because (some) battery monitoring apps really don't take into account times when widgets/apps/services aren't running? That just seems odd to me, however I am not extremely experienced in the way these things work.
It's not a battery monitoring app,
It's the stock htc power usage displayer.
Hmmmmm......
First come smiles. Then come lies. Last is gunfire.
hmmmm we'll look into that
+ maybe if few more ppl show their interest in transparency option we will think about that

(there are more in the play store, or why dont you just download the app and see it for yourself?
it looks better on a real device anyway )
I would appreciate it, if you have a second or two to check out my app and maybe leave a rating or a comment, or
post here what you like and what you dont like. Also don't hesitate to let me know about feature requests
I already have some more features planned to release in the newxt few versions.
Currently the app is available in English and German. If you want to help me to translate Light Notes to
other languages, i would be more than happy.
Anyways.. You can grab my app over at the google play store (it is free)
(click)
Thanks for reading and checking out Light Notes! It means a lot to me
Release notes
1.0.0 (2014-04-13)
first public release to the playstore
anyone? :/
i've released an update to the app.
This fixes a little bug on Nexus 7 devices
So, what differentiates this from Google Keep?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I downloaded this for the statusbar note displaying functionality, and it's good although I'd be incredibly happy with it if there was an option to remove the icon in the status bar whilst still keeping the notes in the pulldown
Thanks
Looks nice, will try soon!
Hi, my name is Theredsunrise and i am creator of an Android app Instago Street View Map:
Have you ever had a problem finding your car?
Or been lost in a city with no directions?
Or just been finding nearby places in your current location?
Instago has a Google Maps Street View window that updates according to your position and orientation, and an Eye-View simulation of where you are heading. Just perform a long click on the map and pick a choice:
1. Put a Pinpoint anywhere on the map to mark your destination place and the Navigation Arrow will guide you.
2. Or get a full screen of Google Maps Street View panorama, if available.
And if you are just exploring nearby places, Google Places service will help you finding them. More info (contact, website, thumbnail) about found place you get when you click it.

Smart idea. Ive watched a show where they used geo tags and camera. Would be cool to see something like that made
Sent from my SGH-T999 using XDA Free mobile app
Gonna give it a shot..
:fingers-crossed:
Thanks..
Awesome app!!!
Nifty! Will buy "pro" if I find I am using it
Comments:
Too many reminders about "pro." Smart enough to read it once or twice and get the message.
Canceling help tool-tips too difficult, but see below
If suggesting callibrating the compass, should offer choice to actually do so from the app.
BUG: Get a spurious map pane over various dialogs and also after closing the app.
Running on an LG P500, using a 4.4.2 Omni ROM. Note that some Google Maps options may not run well on this old device. Maps 7 gives jerky graphics and spontaneous reboots trying to overlay some of the views, and Maps 8 is already armv7-dependent so unusable.
Brilliant idea.
It's so walker-friendly.
Great app! Works like it should, and definitely gives you a better perspective about where you are.
One question though - Is there any way to make the transitions more fluid? I mean when you move around with your device, the map and the streetview display has a bit of a lag.
I'm using a Galaxy s2 with AOSP.
Thank you!
Hello people!
This time I come to introduce version 2.0 of my app:
WIMC (Where is my car?).
The idea came some time ago after that I forgot several times where I had parked my car. Sometimes I wrote the address in my phone to remember and then I thought: ""why not use an app that do it for me?".
That's when I started to look for an app that meet that goal, but I didn't found any app that liked to me fully, because they were unusable, had ads, or they didn't work correctly.
So I decided to learn Android programming and make the app myself.
The app is fairly simple, but perfectly fulfills its function. When opening the app it shows a map using GoogleMaps API. With a simple click it saves the current location obtained by GPS, showing on the map the marker with the address obtained.
After saving the location, three buttons will be displayed:
Move the map to the location where the car is.
Get driving directions to the location of the car
Delete the saved location.
In the left navigation bar there is an access to the latest saved locations, with date, description and a snapshot of the map.
In this new version, I changed the design fully to suit Material Design.
Here are some screenshots:

The app can be downloaded in any phone with Android from:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.matiasguerra.wimc.app

I invite everyone to download and leave comments. It would also be very useful that you share and leave your reviews in the Google Play Store.

Big Launcher is an application designed to support older people to use smart phones more easily. Big Launcher includes an interface with icons and large text to help older people can see easily. In addition, you can pin contacts and applications to the home screen to make it easier for older people to use quickly, without having to perform many operations. Young children can also use the phone more easily thanks to this simple interface.
The main reason people have trouble with touch screens is that app icons are too small for their hands or eyesight. So, if you can't help your grandparents touch the right app to open, you can install BIG Launcher to make these icons bigger and easier to use by showing only the mechanical options. copy.
Main function
Simple interface with icons and large text suitable for older people to use
Simple installation, with no lock function for editing
