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entitled "Senior Member" but still have no clue how to program apps beside some smaller mods I did (which are already superceded by the geniousses here )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...
regards
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

Hi paul144,
great to hear that you like MM Tracker.

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)

Michael

[APP][2.2+] G-NetTrack GSM, UMTS Drive Test tool for Android OS

Download from Google play
UMTS/GSM/LTE/CDMA/EVDO Network Monitor and Drive Test tool
This is a fieldtest/netmonitor application for UMTS/GSM/LTE/CDMA/EVDO network.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Download G-NetTrack Pro - full version here: http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gyokovsolutions.gnettrackproplus
G-NetTrack Pro (Trial Version) on Google Play - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gyokovsolutions.gnettrackpro
G-NetTrack Pro video demonstration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8W908OHmb4
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The application monitors the serving CELLID, LEVEL, QUAL, MCC, MNC, LAC, technology, cell serving time and neighbor cells CELLID/PSC and LEVEL.
LEVEL and QUAL depend on technology:
- 2G - RXLEVEL and RXQUAL
- 3G - RSCP and ECNO
- 4G - RSRP and RSRQ
Only for 4G also SNR and CQI are monitored.
The reported measurements depend on the phone and are not available on all mobiles. For example most phones do not report RXQUAL on GSM and only some report ECNO on 3G.
If LEVEL is -200dBm that means your device does not report correctly and you have to search for a software update from your device manufacturer.
***NEW*** G-NetDiag - online tool for visualization and postprocessing of text log files is available - check G-NetDiag section on www.gyokovsolutions.com
***NEW*** Phone measurement capabilities survey - go to Menu-More-Measurement Capabilities and see if your device reports correctly CELLID, LEVEL, QUALITY, NEIGHBORS. Share your results and see the results from the survey for different phone brands.
There are two modes in which app could be used - instant and log modes.
1. Instant mode - this is a quick mode for fast measurements
- start the app
- enable the mapview (Menu - Enable Map and GPS)
- select measurement (LEVEL, QUAL, CELLID, DL-bitrate, UL-bitrate, Speed)
- when you finish with measurements you can export the observed measurement to kml or take a screenshot.
2. Log mode - this is more sophisticated mode. You can also start optionally voice and data sequences (that's why you see in the app permissions "Services that cost you money - Directly call phone numbers") in order to monitor the network for blocked and dropped calls and to measure upload and download bitrate. Don't lock the phone while the log is running.
- start the app
- select what measurements you want to log (Menu-Settings)
- start log (Menu - Start Log)
- the app starts to create kml and text tab export for the selected measurements
- it also creates event kml and text file - for cell reselections, handovers, Call Start, Call End, Call Drop, Call Block
- when you are finished with measurements press End Log button
- you can find kml exports and tab exports in folder G-NetTrack_Logs on sdcard
Using application you can easily pinpoint network problems like:
- blocked calls
- dropped calls
- bad coverage - low RXLEVEL
- low uplink and downlink data throughput
- lack of dominant server causing lot of cell reselections and frequent service interruptions - when the serving cell time is small
- weak 3G coverage - when you have a lot of reselections between cells on 3G and 2G
- if you have information about the sites you can create cellfile and you can view sites on map - see the screenshots. Put the file in the folder G-NetTrack_Logs/cellfile. Go to G-NetTrack section on www.gyokovsolutions.com for instruction how to create file and sample file.
- option to load cellfile, show cellname labels and serving cell line is in Menu - Settings
- if you add too many cells to cellfile the performance of the app could be slowed on some mobiles when the Map tab is active
For log files new point is created when the distance difference is >15m or cellid has changed. The icon size varies with technology - size2G < size3G < size4G.
KML log file can be used with Google Earth or G-NetLook in order easily to view measurement results.
Text log file can be used with G-NetDiag, for statistical purposes or imported in MapInfo in order to create coverage maps.
If you use antivirus software allow the app to create folders and write on sdcard.

Hi man, you're doing a great job making G-Net Track work with Android.
I enjoyed using it with WM6.1 on an HTC Touch HD that unfortunately broke last year.
Is there any WP7 version in your current/future plans?
Thanks!

Great work, thanks! :highfive:

I still haven't tried the new WP7. Nowadays I'm more into Android.

Updated to 3.5
New things:
Added automatic voice call sequence - the events CALL START, CALL BLOCK, CALL DROP and CALL END are included in events.kml and in events.txt file.
App should be in foreground in order sequence to run.
if it is in the background the sequence is paused.
How to set parameters:
- click [EDIT]
- change the values
- click [SAVE]
Note: In 3G during the voice call cell parameters are not updated. So in 3G use short calls.
In order not to be charged you can call number which is not answering

Updated to 3.6
Now you can measure the download bit rate.
Data sequence is added to program functionality - type target URL and start data sequence. New kml file for DL bitrate is created.
Choose bigger file in target URL in order to have bigger download speed.

Updated to 3.91
- fixed neighbor cells display

Updated to 3.93
- added uplink and downlink speed on main screen
- fixed cellid color in kml export file

Where do I find documentation on what all those values mean and value indication?

seems to work on my sprint touch pro 2 , just saying that it worked since there was a comment on how it didnt work on cdma
also the g-netspeed app gives a different speed than ookla's speed test app, wondering which is more accurate if anyone knows.

Ookla test is based on download and upload of file to their specified server (usually the closest server). G-netSpeed estimates the speed to locations that you choose, that's why you get different results.
I am trying to make G-nettrack to work with Cdma, but we don't have cdma here. So if somebody is willing to try cdma version just send me a message.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] To Devs, please read

New version 3.94
- added 3G ECNO
- now it works with CDMA and LTE. Please advice if it works ok.

Updated to 3.95
-added functionality for CDMA/EVDO networks
-added RXQUAL for GSM, ECNO for UMTS, RSRQ for LTE, ECIO for CDMA and EVDO (depends if the phone supports it)
-addded kml for QUAL measure
-added SNR and CQI for LTE
If you have any problems, please send me screenshot of INFO tab

This is not working on my Motorola Photon running CNA 3.6.6 with Android Version 4.1.2

My own "Where is my Car (Wo ist mein Auto)" app

Hello!
I recently wrote my first Android app. Ok, it is one of the 1000 "where is my car" apps, but I will be very happy if someone would install and rate it. Currently it works only with Android >= 4.0.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.reichelt.thorsten.wima
- WIMA discovers your current location by using GPS or the GSM cell location service of your provider. This has the advantage over using GPS only that you can determine the approximate location very fast without waiting for a GPS fix.
- As on Google maps, the accuracy of your location will be displayed as a colored circle around the recorgnized position. So you can evaluate whether the psoition is useful for you or not. Furthermore this can be useful to find your parking position, because the accurarcy is saved together with your parking position!
Thank you very very much
Thorsten

I was just going to try to make my first app, and it was my idea an app like your.
Well done!
You should add the option to take a photo of the road where the car is parked. Very helpful when the gps is not working (in streets with tall buildings)
Inviato dal mio Rasoio Motorola

Some fixes...
- Changed the GPS switch to a normal button
- Now supporting Englisch and German language
- Removed one permission I used to debug the app

Hi!
This is a good idea! But first I have to implement the "preferences" function.

New version available.
I fixed a bug that let the app crash on start.

Looks promising.
One thing i really want in those application is to enter the street where i parked my car.
Maybe you can include this as a feature with google navigation?!

[APP][4.0+] WiFi Track - A wardriving / wifi survey app

WiFi Track: A wardriving / wifi survey app
WiFi Track is an Android wardriving app - it collects data about wifi networks in range, plots them on a map and lets you search them and see details per each wifi access point. Together with that it can generate lots of interesting charts based on different security settings, channels, manufacturers, mode of operation, etc.
FEATURES
=========
* Real-time network data acquisition and plotting:
- Networks plotted according to basic security type (Open, WEP, WPA)
- Detailed context information available per each wifi network on the map on click
- 2.4GHz / 5 GHz bands supported (if hardware available)
- Scan configurable (wifi scan period configurable depending on moving speed - standstill, walking, driving). GPS scan period also configurable. Several profiles available (High accuracy, Normal, Battery Save)
* Per-network details
- Basic parameters (SSID,BSSID, channel, hardware manufacturer, operating mode (infrastructure vs ad-hoc), etc
- Security parameters (encryption, authentication, WPS, security rating based on a number of parameters)
- Frequency interference with neighbouring networks plus advice to switch to another channel if necessary
- Nearest networks
* Background service mode which is very flexible and configurable:
- Exit at certain battery level
- TTS reports at configurable interval
- Sound notifications on new networks in range
- Distance / new network reporting
- Configurable option to lock wifi and prevent it from disabling on sleep
* Network filters (affect map view and possibly statistics)
You can filter by many criteria.
* Statistics and charts
- Per security type (Open, WEP, WPA, WPA2, WPA/WPA2 Mixed mode)
- Per WPA encryption type (CCMP, TKIP)
- Per manufacturer
- Per frequency band (2.4 vs 5 ghz)
- Per channel (for both 2.4 and 5 ghz ranges)
- Per operating mode (adhoc vs infrastructure)
- WPS enabled charts
- WPA authentication type charts (PSK vs EAP)
- Most often occured SSIDs
- Country the manufacturer is headquartered in and more
- Statistics can be either global or per map view and either affected by filters or not
* SSID search
* Export to KML file (to use with Google Earth)
DOWNLOAD

ABOUT ME
=========
My name is Milen Rangelov and I am more of a UNIX guy, developing GPU hash cracking software and this is my first Android app ever (and the second time I write Java code hehe). I guess there are lots of things to improve. I am open to suggestions and critics. Hope it will get better and better with time.

Thanks let me give it a try

Why do we need google services for your app? I am running cyanogenmod 11 and have no need to install all the google services till now.
Would be nice if I can give your app a try...
