[APP REQ] Formula 1 Live Timing

The new 2009 formula 1 season is on its way and it would be nice to be able to follow a race on our phones. So far i have only seen a java application that does this job but the resolution is far too small
(Live Yamigo - check it out here http://live.yamigo.com/F1Servlet/)
I have no idea about developing so, does any developer want to develop this for us? I'd gladly assist in the graphics work.
Functions:
Live timing
Lap chart
Comentaries Feed
Weather Screen
vga res & other
Im sure there are much more people interested in such an application.

You are right, I'm interested!
Sorry I can't develop it, though..

Please post questions and/or requests in the Questions and Answers section of the forum. This thread will probably be moved to that section. Thanks.

I'm interested too...
But before starting a dev, we need to know where to find datas... I don't know websites that send such informations...

Do you mean the live timing? If so you can get it free from http://www.formula1.com. This uses a java applet to show lap times etc, I also have this on when im watching the live qualifying/race.

yes live timing..i also tried that on my touch pro but its very small resolution and it only takes up a small portion of the screen..making it extremely hard to read..id love to see this developed for vga too...

Hi guys,
I've just tested the service, and it works well. But as already said, its so small resolution.
I've downloaded the LARGE version (http://live.yamigo.com/F1Servlet/dl/), even that is small for my HTC Touch Diamond. Its probably 320x240.
Anyway its the only way to have the F1 Live Timing. Thanks for the intel.

The large version works fine on my HTC Advantage X7500. But then I didn't install any high res applications. So perhaps that's why the application displays larger on my device. It's reasonably close to full screen.
I do keep getting internet connection security dialogs (need to click yes everytime it downloads a bit of data). Is there a wat to prevent that? Can I mark the application as trusted or something?

You would need to upgrade the JAVA version on your phone if you have a wm 6.1/6.5. If you have a version of WM prior to that then I am afraid that you will just have to keep clicking on connection dialog iirc.
I will ask a couple of lads at work to see what they can do (if they can be bothered that is) as I work as IT support for a JAVA house that specialises in connected apps and I know quite a few of the developers like F1

I've got the "intent Midlet Manager" version 11.1.7.1036 on it. I think that's the most recent version.
I've found a workaround though. I wrote the yamigo developers and they indicated that I should get only 2 dialogs. Then I found that indeed I got only 2 and it kept stable after that. Then I switched apps and the dialogs returned.
Seems like it only works when I have my internet connection closed before I open the java midlet and then let the midlet connect.
Weird, but it works.

I once decompiled the original F1 live timing application. Not sure if it's still that easy, but I could read the source for the entire java application. I used that to work out the live datastream. Never got around to writing the WM app that I planned though.

Here a screenshot from the application working on my device:

Last summer I made live-f1 version that works somehow in HTC hermes running WM6.0 (HTC original). It is based on the live-f1 program source code that works in linux xterm. It has WM gui (without any touch specific features). Features include only timing data, fastest lap, and comments. Timing screen is scrolled with arrow keys.
I was thinking about delayed timing feature next, but due to FIA favoring double diffuser Teams, I have not had motivation to make that part.

Open Source live timing library written in .NET
If anyone is interested, I've written a library - Open Source in C# - to receive the live timing data from the server used by the official live timing app. Obviously it's reverse engineered, so I haven't yet done all of the data. However the interesting stuff is done (i.e. not the weather info).
Note: It's currently targeted at the desktop .NET framework, but shouldn't take much effort to port it to the compact framework if any one is interested.
So..if anyone would like to develop some app's I've also included some existing recorded data that can be 'played' back using the library's simulator component so you won't have to wait for an actual race event to see if your app works.
It can be found here Live Timing Home Page (http://livetiming.turnitin.co.uk)
Thanks,
Liam.
p.s. If you'd like to contribute your app's and or code to the project, let me know and I'll add you in.

I have just looked on the website of post #1 and this is still 2009. I was wondering waht offerings are there for Formual 1 for 2010 for the HD2.

Same here, trying to figure out a way to have live timing on my HD2

Official app soon available? http://www.formula1.com/mobile_services/live_timing.html

Heres the official jad file. Its for the HD and i cant get it to work on my Diamond 2, so cant let you know if it works or not.

works on first run, causes error on second launch, have to re-install!!
It's now not on the f1 website again, I guess they realise there is an issue with it and are trying to fix it?
I'm still laughing at those with an iphone who have to pay £20 for the official app and we get it for free!!

I've downloaded the "HTC HD2" version, and it isn't working at all with jbed:
E: 2java.lang.OutOfMemoryError
But, with jblend works
They have been putting it on the web and removing it since yesterday... a little bit more testing wasn't been that bad
Edit: I forget to mention that, even it's working with jblend... i cannot sign-in with my email/password... i've been forced to "Try" the application

What phone, what java version?
I am unable to run it on Diamond using JBed. Anybody succeeded with this. If yes, what midlet manager is able to run this applet? Thanks.

[TOOL] The Android RΩM Database v0.5

This is a little program I wrote that people wanted back when android roms first came out, and now I have had a little time to be able to put it together. What this is, is a database that I will fill with complete information regarding android roms that users may want to download.
It diminishes the need for users asking the same old questions like "Does wifi work?" or "What Android OS is it?". This would save a lot of posts and time. The screenshot below is both colourful (yeah, I'm canadian) and satisfying to the users that wanted this to ease their use. All downloads through this program are DDLs, meaning Direct Download Links hosted on a couple of Fast Download servers that should also eliminate any rapidshare waiting or time wasting on megaupload looking at it's glossy orange-ness. Anyway.

Any type of critism welcome, I've been through just about all stages of it by now.
Here we go, Please report any problems. I have done programming the first beta. Well, it functions, so it should be a 1.0 But I am waiting for feedback.
To be an uploader/moderator for tAROMDB, you must make a request within the application after registering. After doing so, PM on this forum, or mine, of your username that you requested with, and i'll bring you upto speed on how things will work as an uploader or moderator. It's very easy, and it looks great overall. As a reminder, this database has like no ROMs in it, so don't download this unless you are willing to do some uploading, or just want to check it out.
Download Windows v0.5 Here
Download Linux v0.5 Here
[Changelog]

+ Added more ROM information available for a single rom
+ Updated GUI to reflect the new information added
+ Added 2 ROMs for example (32A, New Radio)
+ The system uses FTP for uploading and downloading, it makes things a bit more accurate.
++ Kernels will be added soon
++ Themes will be added soon
Version 0.2
+ Added User Accounts
+ Added Ratings
+ Added Comments
+ Fixed Back button
+ Added "World's Smallest (in kb) MP3 Player" on right click
- Taken out Submitting restriction (Anyone can now submit and upload a ROM)
- Re-coded the navigation from scratch
I'll have to apologize for making the ROM Submitter not as...pretty as the other pages. I just felt it really isn't needed too much. But, if you really want me to do it up, just let me know.

I'd be willing to help maintain the database as much as I can.
EDIT: Maybe a 32A / 32B option as well. Allows people to not get confused. Make it so that Yellow is 32A and Red being 32B or something. So that you can't make any mistake

Sorry I should post the other screenshots. All categorizing has been done. Including Phones + Their phone model types.
**Updated with how the categorization would work (Forum/Thread style with Downloads)
- Phones can be added, Subcategories/Models can be attached to each phone, and Roms and Themes can be specified.

How would you be maintaining this database for users? It would have to read from an online server would it not.

Yeap, and I'm going to include a "Submit A ROM" Button for select people and devs. So it eliminates people spamming it with multiple duplicates.

Well if you need a hand maintaining the database, I would be happy to help.

Thanks. I will put it up for download when I finish Setting up the "Submit ROM" section. PM me your IP. :/ Only reason I ask of this is to only allow YOUR IP to be able to see the section for adding roms No malicious-ness.

Look, my ROM is in there! I'm famous!

Lol, your ROM is actually a wicked example for my programs tests.

it will be awesome, we need this.

Nice idea, but not original...
Look at
http://db.androidspin.com/android_build_information.asp
they categorizing roms but it's messy...
Your work may be better, if you want to continue project...

I got the idea FROM androidspin, and BECAUSE it was the ugliest implementation of categorized roms. And plus, it's a web app, meaning it uses PHP. PHP has its limitations. As opposed to desktop applications that could do a shiz load of more. I'm almost ready to release this thing. I'm just finishing up the Submitting and categorizing.
I added Camera,Wipe, and Sync as per requested by many people through PM. Thanks.

Please continue developing and please release this! This project has alot of potential, and it looks awesome.
I'd be happy to keep the database up to date. PM me if you want my IP adress.

PM ME if you want your IP address added to access the submitting features. Too many people to PM, so whoever wants to help, PM me.

Hi, you should put two categories under magic 32A. One for 3.xx.xx.xx radio and other for 6.xx.xx.xx if you havent already
Regards,
Eyegor

good job .. how about puting req for each Rom like spl and radio and any other special req
one more thing : can u make a form that can be filled by devs ( an nfo like file ) and recognized by ur program so that any new rom can be added easily

This is a fantastic idea!
A rom repository that hopefully would work across XDA, HoFo, Modaco and so on
maybe you should add a link to the forum thread that is the project home for each rom, so people would know where to give response on the rom.
I am looking forward to discovering new roms to play with once you release you program.
Are you going to add the possibilty to rate roms?

That is exactly what I am doing right now. Since a LOT, yes a whole lot of people have been requesting a Section on SPL & Radios, that's going to make my life a lot more impossible. It means I need to re-program everything to setup for new types of categories. Well, I don't have a problem with programming stuff, I can't live without doing something so I will do it, but only if enough people agree to this program NOT being released for a little while longer.

Well, I have my own forum, I could just shove all the roms individual stuff there. But, I was thinking. What if I added a comments response system within the program? Like, how the android market has comments. Hmm.. wow, more re-programming. Crap. Alright. I'll make it away so that it can be added on later. But for not I can work on the main things to get this done. Which is submitting roms, and displaying them in a nice GUI interface.

Well I suggested that in my first post. I don't know how helpful it would get if i'm going to add comments. Hmm... Find me some nice.Stars... No wait! Omega symbols...yeah. That's grand.
On the developments on the actual software, I'm going to have to recode everything. Not really everything. But the category system, and the submission system. I'll replace the first post with the New pictures of the new systems As they are finished.
I have decided to put the categorization of SPL and Radios within the roms content field. So where all the checkmarks are, will have SPL and Radio somewhere there displaying what type of radio and spl is needed or...perhaps. Recommended.
EDIT* Okay, everything is just about done. All that is left is the Uploading system which uploads files to a fast download server. Release is closer, then people will be able to populate this. I updated the Original Post with new images of what it looks like After adding the SPL and Radio. And I AM aware that the submitting a rom window is VERY VERY ugly looking. It's not meant for the public to feast their eyes. Just for submitters to get roms submitted.

Well, I have released the first beta of this program. Please be gentle. Check the original post for download details. It's fairly small for an app that does so much. Have fun, for now... Infact, I have programmed the Android RΩM Database for Three different Operating systems....oh yeah.
hmm, as for the those submitters. Your IP's have been added and are now able to submit ROMS. Please be advised that you should start the upload of a ROM before entering any information. Uploading uses a custom encrypted FTP Protocol that might be slightly slower then your regular ftp uploading speed. But, the servers are as speedy as foggy light :/
Anyways, patience helps when uploading. I hope you guys can populate this program to help everyone.

Downloaded and ran it a bit.
Quite a nice app i must say, but i've found a bug. I've entered cursorsense rom just to see how it works, went back, selected 32a again and entered another rom. Now at this point the rom selection buttons didnt disappear but they stayed on the screen even after pressing back. So it was like i was able to select htc magic and amon ra 1.6.3 donut (as if it were a phone).
Thanks for all your hard work
P.S the white letters on orange background are not really clear

[ONLINEKITCHEN] CyanogenMod (STABLE) [UPDATED 30/03 - v4.2.15.1]

By request (and since my other half runs a HTC Magic, hehe), following on from my Hero, Pulse and Nexus One kitchens and most importantly with the permission of the legend himself that is cyanogen, i'm pleased to present a 'MoDaCo online kitchen' version of Cyanogen's v4.2.15.1 ROM.
Note: As with all of the kitchens, this online kitchen is currently only available to my MoDaCo premium members (those who have signed up to MoDaCo Ad Free or MoDaCo Plus) as it is not yet running on an infrastructure that can support a huge number of users. I don't collect donations - signing up for a MoDaCo premium membership supports future development in many areas and gives you access to great services now and exciting developments in the future!
This is the first CyanogenMod kitchen - if there's something else you'd like configurable in the kitchen, post here or in the kitchen topic and due to the nature of the system, changes can be deployed very rapidly! Of course, let me know if there are any issues too, this is v1 after all.
Click here to view the Online Kitchen at MoDaCo.
Update: a prebaked ROM for Dream / 32B Sapphire and one for 32A Sapphire are now available for ANYONE to download! Sample the kitchen's delights for yourself!
Base configuration (standard CyanogenMod with HTC IME) - download MD5: f1e923f8992911e0c5e8fcaae64ff069
Base configuration (standard CyanogenMod with HTC IME) for 32A devices- download MD5: c65de4774d9b4b704d928cf7f189927d
Enjoy!
P
Update: the online kitchen is now running on new dedicated hardware. Please bear with us as we tune performance and configuration and report any issues via PM!

very nice

Looks pretty cool =)

this is pretty cool.

While I appreciate the effort - you basically used Cyanogens ROM to make a kitchen so you can profit off it. This is all just a way to sell your subscriptions.
I like a lot of the stuff you do, but this is kind of not cool.

I always thinking something like this, but the first architecture I imaged is something like YUM.

Because this requires special infrastructure on the host to glue the pieces together and sign the package, requiring nontrivial amounts of processor time, then must serve the custom file, requiring nontrivial disk space. Neither of those is FREE.
Though a potentially useful variant would be to cache every ROM it produces for up to, say, 48 hours, with the countdown reset each time that configuration is requested (and served immediately from the cache). Classic time/space tradeoff, there, but if certain configurations are popular, probably worth it. Though, for all I know, Paul does this.
This is quite cool and similar to something a couple of us proposed on the TheOfficial AOSP/ADP/TMO thread. We ended up with theme profiles, which are heavier (larger download) but don't require the infrastructure. Always love to see alternate solutions, though!

I think you guys are misunderstanding..
modaco is not charging for CM Roms, he is charging for a service he provides. In this case, it is making it easy for people to 1) stop clogging this forum with repeat posts.. over... and over......... and over again, and 2) customize their ROMS to their liking without having to invest a lot of time figuring out how to themselves.
By saying he should be giving this away for free, you are essentially saying that someone like Red Hat should GIVE it's support away for free. I mean, how can a company make a profit off of open source software that other people have helped write??!?!?
This is no different. That is how companies like Red Hat make their money, it's their bread and butter. Not to mention, they provide Certification avenues, this is just one other way they are "making money off other peoples hard work", according to the outraged ones in this thread.
i personally think this is pretty neat, considering I have been through the learning curve of rooting my phone and trying to customize a ROM; It worked but it took me a bit before I got it right and actually was able to use my update.zip. Thanks Modaco

Listen, I'm saying anything about what he has done or how much time was put into the project.
But before I start my argument let's give it a couple days to see how it does; assuming the stats are correct on his site.

If you don't wanna use it, don't.
All the kitchens to date have been for my ROMs, I put Cynoagen's ROM into a kitchen - with his permission - because a) people asked and b) I find it useful.

Yeah, i'm caching each ROM produced, but the number of variants is HUGE and takes a LOT of disk space, so caching isn't actually as valuable as you think. With my Hero ROM IIRC I generated about 500 ROMs before I started to see any real benefit from caching. Crazy!

Now, this is something I might be interested in, depending of course on the type of functionality it will have.
By the way, I don't want to rain on your parade but I just think your current version of the project should be free; that's all.
I remember someone in the the XDA WM forums created a kitchen for roms and cabs and it was pretty cool.
I like your project but will it only work for a specific Cyan rom?

[Contest][Developers Only]Free Fascinate to the best development idea.

I received this Samsung Fascinate from RootzWiki.com at the Big Android BBQ. I don't need it.
This device has UnBrickable Mod applied to it. It can handle any firmware which you apply to the device. It cannot be bricked under any circumstances. You can always resurrect it with software. The device has a cracked screen, it is an asthetic problem only. The device is fully operational and ready to be used as a development device for any purpose.
Here is a link to the device http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SCH-I500RKAVZW
So, here's the contest rules:
1. Simply post up what you would do with this device and if you have the best project, you get the device.
2. There are no other rules. Just state what you would develop on this device and it could be yours.
This contest will end on 31 October 2011.
I've received PMs about the judging. Here's how it will work: I will narrow it down to a few projects, and then I will ask XDA Recognized Developers in our chat room to pick from the final few. I just want this device to go to someone who will develop something useful for the community.

Further the Glitch kernel on that device by:
Eliminating bluetooth echo
Work on keyboard pop-up in low signal areas
Further improve in-call audio tweaks that we have already starte
Further tweak voltages to allow more devices to overclock.
Have it open for whatever wierd stuff people want to try (like booting WP7 or Nexus S Bootloaders)

1.I would test my apps on it, that I have developed.
2. I would also get back into the ROM business and put out the best AOSP ROM I possibly could!
3. I would test anyone's ROMs that need tested (but the dev doesnt have the phone)
4. I would replace the screen
5. Release more themes for Fascinate ROMs

.
Only Developers please, any other post will be deleted

I've received a few PMs about how I will pick the winner. Well, I put some thought into it. I'm going to let Developers pick the winner. I will narrow down some of the better projects and then let the XDA-RDs pick the best of the best. This way it's fair and it's not just me saying a single project is the best.

I'd probably build a kernel for it.
I'd love to take on writing a new bootloader, maybe true dual rom support, etc..
But I doubt I truly have the skills needed to pull off such a thing.
=]

This is what i will do, as a dev:
1) Build my own u-boot (and try to make it running)
2) Update the whole kernel source of SGS/Fascinate to the newest 3.1 (still in RC)
3) Build Debian + 3.1 Linux kernel to run natively under our devices (sgs/fascinate)
4) Do some experiments about debugging with Arduino as output processing system
I have just bought a new arduino, so i think is time to start real development!!
Thanks in advance Adam!

No. You do not have to be recognized to be a developer. It helps. Its easy to see who's a developer and who isn't. Just look at threads started... If the topics are mainly asking for help on remedial tasks, that's not a developer. If the topics are mainly releases or advanced subjects, that's a developer. I wont exclude people for their membership status. I'm looking at who can use a development device and who's going to actually use it as a development device to help the community.
It was given to me for development... I developed it and made it better with UnBrickable Mod and I added a battery cover. My project is done. I want someone else to use it as a development device. I'm hoping to give someone an opportunity which will benefeit the rest of the SGS community in some way, shape, or form. I wont judge based on anything except the project and likelihood of followthrough. Finally other developers will decide who gets it.
Noobs to XDA can be more skillful then Recognized Developers... I'm not concerned with titles.

When you mean only developers, do you mean only those with "Recognized Developer" in their profile, or anybody who develops?

Wow! Big Arrow eh?

Why me ? Simple.
1. I would develop the **** out of roms for the Fascinate
2. I am working on a dualboot linux environment and android (let the user choose in the beginning)
3. Rethinking and remaking a recovery (first steps taken)
4. Because I think I can pull all this previous **** off.

alright , hes probably not aware of this , and I will pm him a link , he already owns a fascinate and hes my favorite dev in the SGS community . his XDA name is sbrissen
from TSM , thats who my vote goes for ...

if i got it i would port roms over and get xboardermod up and running and mybe evena aosp hybrid rom i have on g2x, g2, and sensation

I would work on porting linux kernel 3.0 to it, mainly because the device apparently cannot be bricked and this would greatly benefit the portable open-source community, I would also use it as a testbed for having a tablet without Dalvik VM or the google android OS, which I so dispair at, instead I think I'd use UClibC to port a minimal x-server or if I am feeling adventurous an SVGAlib frontend. I think thats about all I could do with it but I think it's quite impressive for a n00b. Also I suppose I would have to adda blog to my website to update you all on my progress ;~)
Edit: (additional infos)
I do already have an advent vega with vegacomb and have made some trivial apps for that to display my previous web-dev work but I just remembered I am playing with psx4droid and aDosBox source to make it work & more usable on vegacomb, maybe I could also update & test it on this device and release it on here (I will never post anything to the market, sorry I hate google)

No. You do not have to be recognized to be a developer. It helps. Its easy to see who's a developer and who isn't. Just look at threads started... If the topics are mainly asking for help on remedial tasks, that's not a developer. If the topics are mainly releases or advanced subjects, that's a developer. I wont exclude people for their membership status. I'm looking at who can use a development device and who's going to actually use it as a development device to help the community.
It was given to me for development... I developed it and made it better with UnBrickable Mod and I added a battery cover. My project is done. I want someone else to use it as a development device. I'm hoping to give someone an opportunity which will benefeit the rest of the SGS community in some way, shape, or form. I wont judge based on anything except the project and likelihood of followthrough. Finally other developers will decide who gets it.
Noobs to XDA can be more skillful then Recognized Developers... I'm not concerned with titles.

Do I count if I use the device as my first android based smartphone to take my android development to further levels?

Hey Adam,
If i get the device i will make a SGS II port like on the Samsung Galaxy S I also alot of Fascinate users have PM'ed me to port my rom onto their device. So now its all upto you.
Thanks,
Faryaab

I'm not a "Recognized Developer" on this board, but I do work on embedded systems (arm, powerpc, x86, etc...)
port u-boot to fascinate and enable fastboot. (See: [U-Boot] Fastboot gadget, v2)
investigate ubi/ubifs to replace yaffs2 (faster, and dynamic partitioning) without xsr/fsr/tfsr, you have to use raw mtd. See: Raw Flash vs. FTL)
performance improvements
port to other Galaxy S, S2, and others.
newer recovery supporting all of the previous items.

Leapdroid - a brand new and most performing Android virtual machine

Hi All,
We have just released a new Android virtual machine, called Leapdroid, it is a Windows program that allows you to run Android Apps in Windows. Our focus has been on graphics performance. It outperforms all other players on market, such as BlueStacks, Genymotions, Andyroid, etc... it supports a lot of games, and it it is totally free, you can download it from our website:
http://www.leapdroid.com
From development point of views, we have implemented most features that Google's emulator has, such as compatible adb. Our virtual machine is the only vm that can start adb before vm starts, same as a real device, so you can get the first line of adb logcat. We have also optimized other aspects of the system.
Check it out!

Here is a video with Leapdroid playing a few games, including a shooting game. This video demonstrates the advanced key mapping feature.

Booting Speed is really amazing
I tried using several android emulators such as B****, G*****. Tried this new one. Having not gone through intensive usage now, I am already shocked by its launching speed. Amazing! Really beats others. It is a fresh boot, not like B****'s not shutting down and faking instant boot.

I forgot to mention that our vm supports multiple instances. After installations, two android virtual machines will be created.

Has been looking around for a VM to play Minecraft. This is the only capable so far.
Thanks, Leapdroid!

How I can switch input language?
"Control + Spacebar" not working for me.

What is the Windows input method software you are using?

That looks awesome!!
One question: (You would rock some worlds with that)
Could you somehow release a version compiled for arm-thumb2 so windows-rt-JB users could finally open android apps on their first gen surface RT <3
Probably impossible, but I never give up the hope

Hi Blade,
Thanks for the nice suggestions. A thinner run-time version that can run on ARM systems is definitely our direction, but it will take quite sometime to implement. For the moment, we are focusing on developing a new generation of android virtual machine on X86 architecture. As you may have noted, current android virtual machines are still not that compatible if compared with a real android device, many apps still don't run well inside emulators. Leapdroid will lead in these aspects.

Good performance
Run very smoothly so far. Is there a way to install apps without using Google account?

Assuming you have your APK ready:
I've found the following information on their website h t t p : / / leapdroid . com / helpcenter . html. It seems that they reply on standard adb to install programs.
I typically use apkmirror to download APKs. What kind of channel do you use?
BTW: I do not understand XDA does not let me to post web links. Maybe for safety reason....

http://www.leapdroid.com/helpcenter.html has more info
Before we enable drag/drop (which should come soon), you will have to use adb to install apk.

Adb works for me. Great work!
When can we see a Mac version?

We are working on Mac and actually Linux version too, but currently focusing on Windows.

How do I unroot or install Xposed?

You can do adb remount, then you can change system partition

I'd love to try this, but I feel very suspicious.
There's no "about" page on the Leapdroid website, so we don't know who we are giving our Google Account credentials to when we login.
Three of the comments on this thread were written by new members who signed up just after this thread was started... that's a red flag for me.

If you look at my profile, you will see I am not new, you can also google my name, will find out.
Our website will have more info soon, we are a VC funded company, located in Fremont, California. I did Android vm a few years back, also released here, please check my old posts.
We have another thread, which is here, with more comments:

I appreciate the info. I'll keep an eye on this project and will reconsider installing it once more info is put up on the site.

It works really Well. Is there any thought of updating it to newer Android versions? Definitely the best Emulator I have used so far.
