AmberHome Weather is a weather app that will show weather forecast data from the yr.no weather feed.
Release version now available in PlayStoreAmberHome Weather Free
Pro Version: AmberHome Weather Plus
Additional Iconsets: AmberHome Weather IconSets
I would be glad if you can test this app and tell me how you like it.
If you want to help to translate the app please register at GetLocalization.com and then go to this URL: AHWeather at GetLocalization
Translating the app should be very easy with this great community web tool. Thanks for your help.
If you like you can visit the AmberHome blog where I will add some news from time to time and follow me on Google+ if you like.
Unlike other weather apps AHWeather does not depend on cities. Every location in the world can be used, just search for it. The location search is the standard Android geolocation search and it is very powerful. You can edit some data for a location like name and country name. Additionally there is a field for the altitude of the location. Normally you can leave this to 0 which means the weather site will choose the altitude itself. Maybe this field will be removed for the release version since for most cases it is not needed.
About the weather data:
The weather data comes from yr.no, delivered by the Norwegian Meteorological Institute and the NRK. Yr.no is one of the last weather sites that provide weather data for free even for commercial use. Unlike some other weather feeds yr.no only has forecast data and no current condition! This means that everywhere in the app where current conditions are displayed (like in the widget) this is calculated from forecast data and may be several hours old. Most time this is not as accurate as in other apps which request weather data from nearby weather stations.
The weather forecast is very accurate in Europe but I have no idea how good it is in other regions of the world. Some tests I have made like requesting weather data in israel etc. looks quite good. Please tell me how accurate the weather forecast is in your region.
In some locations (mainly northern europe) there is hourly forcast data for the next 48 hours. In all other regions of the world there is 3 hour forecast instead.
Planned features for later versions:
tablet layouts
more widgets
weather chart
location based weather
...
Known bugs:
If you permanently rotate the screen, after some time (about 25 rotations on my device) the app will FC with an out of memory error. I think this is a general Android problem and can't be fixed easily.
On some devices if you rotate your home screen, the widget will not update immediately. This is because I hit a Android widget limitation with bitmaps. I hope to fix this in the next release.

Reserver for later use2
Great start, but the layout seem quite of somehow. I doesn't like the background color and I would like to have it more simple a less cluttered. Like the choice of weather service, the Norwegians knows the weather in Sweden better than we do our self .

What do you mean with "doesn't work in the US"? It should work everywhere in the world. Do you get an error, no weather data, wrong weather data? Can you please give some more information?
Thanks.
Nice app. Thanks. Only one wish widgets but already planned. Thank you. Works perfect for Germany.

Yeah sorry, It couldn't find my location. I tried both my zip code and manually typing in my city. No go though . For future releases you should have set by cell site location

Normally it should work. Try to search for "<cityname> usa" or something. It should even find small villages with a few houses.
Location based weather is planned for a later release.
I live in the Boonies and it finds me just fine. My town doesn't have stop lights.
The barometer could be in inches though. That's the only gripe I have.

Added Beta 4 version to the first post.
This version adds german translations to the app. If you want to help me translate this app to other languages, please contact me.
I think this one is close to a release candidate.
Thank you all for testing.
Great app, thank you. Will test it.
Very good app! running fine on CM9
Added 2.0 Beta5 to first post.
This version has a complete redesign of the widget. It is still not perfect but should scale better on different resolutions and should work better on ICS and up.
Couple feature suggestion
1. Re-sizable widget for touchwiz (or 5x1 widget )
2. Transparent widget
Works pretty fast on galaxy note,
1st version released to play store
The first version is now released to play store.
Additionally I added the release version to the first post.
Thanks to all testers and stay tuned. If new beta versions are available I will post them here.
Very nice. Only suggestion I have is to offer different weather icons.
Net me try the apps

- Degrees
- UTM
- MGRS
- QTH
- Ordnance Survey National Grid (UK)
- SWISSGRID*CH1903+ support
- Gauß-Krüger support (Germany only)
- GEOREF Support (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_...ference_System)
- GARS Support (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global...ference_System)
The Speed:
- km/h

IMPORTANT:
If you have a Bluetooth connection available to your phone and GPS on on your phone, it is using your phone's Position. Turn off Bluetooth (and GPS on on your phone) to use the phone's GPS.
Thanks for the support, I will try to implement more things soon!
UK OSNG System
Nice app just downloaded to gear s3. Any chance of adding the Ordnance Survey National Grid system at some point as in the UK its useful for cross reference to Ordnance Survey maps which divide the UK up into squares of size 500 km by 500 km. There is a overview of the system if you Google 'Ordnance Survey National Grid'.
Thanks John
One minor niggle I've noticed is that when I select MPH as the unit of speed it displays mps next to it instead of MPH.
Thanks.
I will have a lot into the "Ordnance Survey National Grid System"
There is an update underway which Supports "QTH Grid System" and "SWISS Grid System"...
Will fix the mph/mps soon.
Good News JohnGearS3, I will implement UK OSNGS in Version 1.1.0.
EDIT:*Just implemented it, so it's going to Samsung now and should be available in a few days (certification takes unfortunately some days)
Lots of more stuff to come in Version 1.1.0:
- QTH
- Ordnance Survey National Grid (UK)
- SWISSGRID*CH1903+ support
- Gauß-Krüger support (Germany only)
Version 1.1.0 is NOW available in the store with the above mentioned new features...!
Hi
Excellent app, the sort of useful app that makes the S3 worth keeping! I did start having a play trying to make my own GPS app, you have saved me the trouble!
Might be nice to be able to customise whats displayed, and to have the main bit of info (the location) across the centre of the screen where there are more pixels, possibly in a larger font, ditto the ability to change the colour - eg to have the grid ref obvious in white.
An odometer & overall height gain/loss would be nice too - but possibly on another screen accessed with a bezel twist?
I am in the UK, and can confirm that your OSGB calculations come out just fine for central Scotland.
Also, 10 figure grid ref (eg 1m resolution) is beyond the capability of GPS, your average UK hill walker will be using 6 or 8 figure grid refs (100m or 10m resolution). Ability to choose would be nice - and also free up screen space for that larger font!!
Nigel
Just curious, what do you use this app for? It does seem like a really well done app, lots of features/capabilities, but I wasn't exactly sure what the use-cases are? How are those of you who use it making use of it? How does it help you? Thanks.

Satellites in view/use and SNR would be useful...along the lines of GPS+ for Android perhaps.

Interesting. I was having a quick look at the Native App API with a view to porting a golf GPS app I did for Android Wear and it seem you can get all the info through :
gps_status_get_satellites_cb)(unsigned int azimuth, unsigned int elevation, unsigned int prn, int snr, bool is_active, void *user_data)
and related calls.
Ah, I see nothing similar under the Web API...but I've only just started looking at it.
Thanks! Just bought it. I'll use it a lot, because right before I'm flying my Drone, I provide the near airport control tower, with the vicinity grid where I'm going to be flying, right from my watch! Thanks!

Thats exactly what is missing.
No Chance to get that info in Web API unfortunately...
Thanks for the app, I bought the pro version.
Will be a great addition for use in rural and remote areas when needing to give coordinates for fire fighting in the bush!
I really like the app. Is there any way to make it more clean looking. It just feels a little retro right now. I would like to see crisper text maybe the ability to adjust text size.
Version 1.3.0 now available:
- Possibility to force the usage of the Gear's GPS Signal even when the Gear is connected to the phone using Bluetooth.
- Possibility to set the precision: (Best, Good, Average, Bad) ... => means less Digits
Important: The force internal GPS is still somewhat beta. It's another API approach which is not well documented.
Version 1.4.0 awaiting approval from Samsung.
New:
- GEOREF Support (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Geographic_Reference_System)
- GARS Support (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Area_Reference_System)
- Fix for a rare calculation error using MGRS
Check Some Best Samsung Gear S3 Apps and Games really amazing .

or on the Huawei Appgallery at this link:
https://appgallery.huawei.com/app/C107643913
With full support for all MTC devices.
SOME TIPS:
TOGGLE SCREEN NORMAL/FULL:
- Double Click on the station information toggle fullscreen on/off.
NORMAL SCREEN:
- Long press on the station information popup the "ADD Station" dialog window if the station is not in your station list. If it's already in your list, it will focus the relative station button.
- Long press on a station button bring up the "EDIT Station" dialog window
- Single press on screen arrows <> does a small frequency step fwd/back
- Long Press on screen arrows does a quick search fwd/back
FULLSCREEN MODE:
- A Single press of the arrows <> switch to next/previous station
-A Long press on station information(center of the screen) bring up the "EDIT Station" dialog window.
- In interface settings you can remove the big frequency in background if a logo is available.
- In settings you can hide status bar, activate the clock and a speed gauge
STEERING WHEELS CONTROLS:
- The steering wheels commands act exactly in the same way as the fullscreen arrows, they just need to be setup in the correct way in carsettings application.
FAVORITE LIST:
- The FAV list is the result of merging FM and AM favorites, so you can have both frequencies in the same list.
- FAV stations can be edited within the fav list but cannot be added. You need to be on fm or am list to add a station and set it to favs.
- Deleting the FAV list will just remove the fav flag from the fm/am stations but will not delete them.
- Deleting AM/FM list it will delete the FAV list too.
LOGOS:
- you can use your own station logos, you just need to know where you have them stored and browse for them when editing a station.
- To get the stations Logos from the app you have to set the nationality of the logos in the interface menu, download and extract them.
Once they are extracted you have to edit each saved station to assign the logo image to it.
- The automatic assignment of the Logos is based on the RDS id of the radio stations (pi code) and the search of the logo by RDS name.
The first method (by id) is faster and more precise but it needs that the name of the logo contain the picode of the station and for this purpose i renamed them for some of the available countries. Of course i cannot make them all and the functionality of this method depend of the availability of correctly named logo images for your country.
The second method (by name) is less accurate and it work comparing the RDS name with all available logos. If the rsult of the comparison is 100% correct the logo is autoamatically assigned. If the result are more then one logo, a dialog window popup asking you to choose it.
AF (Alternative Frequencies) handling: (Doubleclick to switch between stored AF)
AF service allows the radio tuner to tune in to an alternative frequency when the signal becomes too weak. The minimum level signal can be set in factory settings (Auto Search Stop) and has been found
that around 30 db is the best choice.
To improve even more this service I added an automatic storing of the alternative frequencies so that every time a new frequency is received, it's added in a list.
After an autoscan some radio stations can be found on different frequencies, NavRadio+ have an option (in Settings/radio) to automatically merge the frequencies in just one button populating the AF list
The frequencies available in this list can be selected using the station editor or switched one by one DOUBLECLICKING on the station button.
NOTES:
I'm the only developer of the app and I work on it every single day for some hours a day.
I try my best to develope the app at best of my possibilities and I wish at evey release that it is bug and crash free.
This is very hard to achieve, even if I have some very good friends that help me testing it.
I'm really thankful to them for their help and support.
Thank everybody who beleive in my work and thanks for understanding.

And now about mistakes.
1. Live-RDS does not work in my country. What it catches during tuning stays on the display and does not change. In Poland, in live RDS, e.g. the channel name, frequency, time, artist name of the song, its title are displayed ...
2. I noticed that the additional RDS info displayed on one channel is how I switch to a channel that does not send such information, the information from the previous channel remains
3. The AGAMA launcher does not read information from your application, the channel logo also does not display.
4. Screen savers that can display information and covers from other programs (spotify, black player ...) from your application do not display
5. In the settings, the equalizer button does not take us to its settings ...
6. 6. As you can see in the picture, the numbers of the first two channels are too close to the left edge and if someone like me has a screen of this type, he is not able to read their number from the driver's position. In vertical channel list mode this problem does not occur.
PS
AF works fine.
Thanks and I hope that I helped a little and that you will fix this RDS - for me it is one of the most important functions of the radio and without it, despite its fantastic appearance, it is of little use.
Fingers crossed
My HU: PX5, MTCE, Android 9.0 (hal9k ROM), 1024x600
edit:
I noticed today's update and made a clean installation
The equalizer is already starting
When it comes to RDS, I don't know if you have corrected something, but there is a positive change (maybe I didn't notice it yesterday). With manual scanning, RDS works very well until I save the radio channel, then the first RDS information is saved in the "channel name" field and it displays permanently and Live-RDS does not work (displays permanently saved information) . Video from the recording here: https://youtu.be/hofRdaaSG2A
Maybe you could enter an option in which you could select whether you want the application to save the channel name in its memory or not to save it. Then live-RDS would work for me if I checked that there would be no automatic saving of the channel name ... Or maybe you have a better idea? Just like in your older application that the name is saved and still RDS still displays the changing information?
PS
I don't know how in the latest version, but in the previous one you couldn't choose your own wallpaper or set your own background color (1.2)
Regards

Tnx for reporting
1. I added an option in Radio settings to enable LiveRDS mode (will be there in version 1.22)
2. I fixed it in version 1.21
3. I have to look at it but it's not my priority
4. I have to look at this one too but i guess it's hardcoded in the hal9k screensaver
5. I fixed it in version 1.21
6. I'll try to add some paddings to grid view

Hmm, but i can't choose own custom image or change solid color.
When I click on my own image nothing happens, there is no option to choose such image. Also, I can't change the solid color (white is the default), no such option ...
Unless you do it somehow differently
First of all, awesome radio app. Great work!
Found one bug: If you try save channel/ frequency for example memory position 5 and you only have three saved stations, GUI will crash but radio remains open in the background.
And one request - Can you add outside temperature (from the can-bus) to the full screen mode, please?
Otherwise your app seems to work very well in my unit, MTCE_PX30_MX.
Testing will continue...

Ok, for custom images please use a different file browser than the gallery and it should work. (i'll fix it anyway)
There is nothing special to do to select the color, just choose it with the circular slider, hit ok and go back to main view.
Which android version are you running?
Fantastic work.. Ill cant´t wait for the first stable version... Hurry

The problem is that when you choose your own image option, the application goes to normal operation, the file browser does not open. The same with a solid color, no slider appears ... But that's not a problem the wallpapers embedded in the app are great, and now you have more important things to improve
I'm using Android 9.0 Hal9k
edit:
In terms of non-appearing information and logos of radio channels, on launcher or sreen saver, it seems to me that it is enough for such notifications to appear in the way shown in the picture. At least I have this information about the screensaver from hal9k

For this week I'd like to kill all the bugs so I can release a final working version for MTC devices.
Tonight I released a 1.22 version with all the mentioned fixes plus a major fix to audiofocus that was causing music and radio to play togheter.
Anyway it has been reported me that the app is working fine on all PX series and I'm very happy about it.
Maybe a couple more of days and I can make an official public release :good: :laugh:
Thank you very much for this application, we hope to test it shortly.
Greetings
Live-RDS works perfectly. Thank you so much for that!
I put two videos with small errors.
1. What I wrote about the impossibility of setting your own background image and a solid color.
https://youtu.be/8UhCqoH7Htw
2. Often after firing your application it starts to play, but it crashes me "to the desktop" and I get the message that: the application is not responding. If I put the application on the autostart either it is the same message or the radio starts without sound

Ok, today I will do the clean installation of the system and see if it is better
Head unit MTCE_PX30_MX.
Updated today to version 1.22...
After that my steering wheel buttons does not work as before. "Channel up" and "channel down" buttons just skipping between two stations. Buttons acts like "previous" channel?
Also if I try put some codes to "KEY" menu, everything works, but when I get back to GUI, radio app crashes. And it crash a lot, like AdekP wrote before. And I can not close radio anymore, only thing which seems to helps is uninstall app or clear app's memory under "app properties".
There were any of these issues with previous version 1.21, is it possible to roll back to this version? Just to check does it behave different?

Keys menu is for Allwinner units, I'll disable it in next builds for MTC devices.

Ok, thanks. I uninstall the app and then made a new install. Now everything is fine again, even seek up / seek down works. Maybe problem was "keys" menu and something were messed up when I try this

After a clean installation of the system, NavRadio starts well
I found a small error: the notification bar when switching the channel displays only its first letter from the name

Sorry id don't understand from that picture where the notification bar show that letter..
I found what was causing you to not show the color chooser menu and the wallpaper. It was the polish translation
Will be fixed in next version.:good:
