Android, group application installation

This is mostly for those who frequently change ROMs. We know that when you install a new ROM then, naturally, it is necessary to install the applications that we need. Google Play although it facilitates this process of application installation  on smartphones directly from the computer, however, this process can be further simplified.
The process can be simplified so that you create. Zip file with all the necessary applications and the same file will install through recovery, with all applications it will be installed once.


 Required tools:

-Installed Java Runtime Environment(JRE) on your PC (OS it doesn't matter but the link is for Windows)
-Aroma App Package Creator (download .jnlp file {Java executive file})
-Installed Touch Recovery on your Phone (its not been tested with regular recovery 4EXT REcovery Touch;
-7Zip optional
-calibration zip also optimal

Procedure:


You need to first install the JRE on your computer. After you install, turn on the program Aroma App Package Creator.
 The procedure is very simple. First create a group of programs,in the  image bellow the group is named Programi, then add applications. Enter the name of the application, and with the button "Browse"  load the application. Once you add all the programs that you need, from the field Calibration choose your phone model.

Create your self topographic 3D maps for your Android Device

Recently I have searched all over the net and I found out that there are not too many usable tutorials on how to create your own 3D topographic maps.
Topographic maps are designed to be used as a basemap and as a reference map. The map service includes administrative boundaries, cities, water features, physiographic features, parks, landmarks, highways, roads, railways, airports, and buildings overlaid on land cover and shaded relief for added context.

So in this Tutorial I will show you how to Make your own Topo 3D maps with CompeGPS Land for your Android Device 
First you have to download CompeGPS Land from HERE  for your PC. You can find trial version also.

Also you will need Two Nav from HERE for your Android.

Now if you downloaded this two apps one for your PC and second one for your Android Device

CompeGPS Lang is software for creating and converting 2D,3D maps 
Two Nav is app for Android that can read topographic maps created with CompeGPS Lang 

Also you MUST find Topo Maps in most common formats like:.ecw, *.bmp, *kmz, *.jpg, *.tif, *.tiff, *.png... 

Now lets get started -----

-Install and run CompeGPS Lang on your PC
-in the main window press on  "Maps" button
-now press import maps

- in the window that will poup select your map 

-in the next box just click OK

-now again in the next box click again an this window will appear

-if you want to change Projection than click on "Projection Automatic" if you don't than press on "Next"
-again in the next window where it asks you "Modify Map corners" click "Next"

-now this is the vital part

 

-in this window you will have to choose the two calibration points
-zoom the map and choose some place that is easy to find on other Maps. For example:crossroad;sity square etc.

-minimize the CompeGPS lang window and open Google Maps/Earth or some other Map software and find the same point that you have mark before in CompeGPS
-write down the coordinates from Google Earth in to the empty boxes in CompeGPS Lang
-repeat this procedure with at least one more point
But i will recommend to you to add some additional points because more points in calibration process will make your map more accurate

When you finish with adding points click on "Save"
Calibration file will be saved on your Desktop

So now you will have to convert your saved Calibration file in to a map that your Two Nav for Android app can read

-close all CompeGPS Lang windows and run the software again
-again choose "Maps" from the main window and than "Batch convert raster maps"

 -in the window that will popup choose your Saved Calibration file
DO NOT choose your non calibrated map
-in the next popup choose RMAP and press OK

-after the converting process will finish your RMAP file will be saved on your Desktop
DONE:Now you have 2D/3D Map for your Android Device

One year from the death of Steve Jobs

2012 was a great year for Apple company, especially if you take into account two major events related to it, of which the first is the launch of the new iPhone, and the other is a lawsuit against Samsung. But the man who made ​​Apple what it is, former CEO Steve Jobs was not here to see it.

Today marks exactly one year since the death of Jobs, who died aged 56 after losing a battle with cancer. A year later, the company going forward, but Jobs remained today in remembrance of the people who use the benefits of its products.
What was so special for Jobs? Most of all vision that we had extraordinary access to the public and the ability to make the selling of a product. Jobs never hid his personal life, on the contrary, all share his story under which a person who collected bottles of Coca-Cola to buy food, slept in the homes of their friends and walk a few miles each week can to take a meal at the Hare Krishna temple has become a leading figure in the field of technology.
Jobs knew how to speak in public and is known as a man who knew how to create a great motivational speech. In fact his most famous appearance in public is not associated with any Apple product presentation. It is about his speech to students at Stanford who has gained immense popularity.
That and it will finish this article on the anniversary of his death

Nokia not Apple is the biggest competitor of Google Maps

Google maps

Following the release of Apple Maps, time seemed maps do only Google and Apple. Yet The Atlantic reminds us that Nokia has invested over $ 8 billion (most of this money at Navteq), and just Nokia, not Apple, is the greatest competitor in quality of Google Maps.
    Unfortunately due to financial problems can be found in the Finnish giant, Nokia not only often overlooked, but it is possible to sell maps of competing companies well below right value. Analysis of Atlantic says most interested in Nokia Maps Microsoft, Yahoo, Apple but because of recent problems and would must become a customer.
    Google for its maps "invested" tens of thousands of hours spent driving and eight million kilometers in Street View vehicle. During that time, Nokia launched cooperation with UPS and FedEx, and UPS drivers only spend 5.28 billion km per year. The cooperation with UPS, Nokia month data gets 12 billion per month, according to Cliff Fox, Nokia vice-presidents in charge of data collection locations.
    G.. Fox announced that Nokia collects 400 data for each segment (Cell of road between two intersections), for example if the street is one-way or in both directions, number of lanes, places where there is a narrowing of the road and many similar data.
    Like Google and Nokia have vehicles used for road mapping. One of the drivers of these vehicles for Nokia, Tony Cha said that mapping major cities is necessary driving eight hours a day for a month. A route by which drive is computed by an algorithm, based on the most effective way to pass on every street of the city. According to him, the biggest challenge facing all companies that have to maintain updated maps change all streets.
    Nokia probably have enough data to be compared with Google Maps. But now at least there should be no doubt that the battle for best application of this type will be between Google and Nokia. Nokia understandable hope that this application will help customers to solve their phones, together with the new operating system finally to return to the list of best selling phones.
