beepbeepmyredjeep Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Just out of curiosity, who here uses an Android phone? I recently gained access to "Google App Inventor", and I'm looking for ideas to turn into applications. So....if there's some sort of special Comanche Club phone application that you would all be interested in... Please let me know. Any Comanche Club app I create will be 100% FREE. Also, depending on what kind of an app people request, I may be looking for volunteers to take pictures, etc. Ideas so far (will update as people respond): 1) Mobile MJ Troubleshooting/How-to Guide 2) Trail "mapper" program for all you off-roaders 3) Tire Size Calculator (There's one on Android Market already for $1.00, anyone use it?) 4) MJ VIN Decoder - In Progress!!!! 5) Comanche Spotters guide (for packages and years) 6) AX15/Ba10-5 Spotter 7) Clinometer (The little thing that will tell you the pitch and roll of your truck.) (Canadian Nissan Truck club has one) 8) Parts references (XJ/YJ/TJ crossing) 9) App that would map out member locations 10) DIY Guides 11) OBD-I flash code to meaning decoder - In Progress!!!! Apps to checkout (not mine): 1) Craigsnotifica - Craigslist alert app, 100% Free 2) aCar - Paid or Free(Ad supported) version, allows you to track vehicle maintenance costs and gas mileage.

jbhill Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 a tire size calculator! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beepbeepmyredjeep Posted September 1, 2010 Author Share Posted September 1, 2010 a tire size calculator! Not a bad idea, but there's already one of the Android Market for $1.00, with great reviews. No pun intended, but I don't want to re-invent the wheel. Looking for ideas for apps which aren't out there, especially Comanche Club exclusives.

beepbeepmyredjeep Posted September 2, 2010 Author Share Posted September 2, 2010 So, I took the VIN Decoder idea and ran with it... Here's the results so far. Far from finished, but this will give you an idea of the UI design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as the craigslist search, there are several craigslist alert apps out there which are very easy to setup. Personally I use Craigsnotifica, and love it.

beepbeepmyredjeep Posted September 2, 2010 Author Share Posted September 2, 2010 btw would u make this apps for iphone too? Sorry, no can do. Google App Inventor only works with Android phones. Also, I refuse to develop any iPhone/iPod/iPad apps as long as Apple has such draconian rules with their app market. The Android Market is much more open to developers.

kastein Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 :banana::banana: that looks really useful to have on hand if your darn jeep won't run and you're stranded! Looking forward to its release, I have a G1 running cyanogenmod and 1.6 firmware. I'll have to look into craigslistnotifica... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beepbeepmyredjeep Posted September 4, 2010 Author Share Posted September 4, 2010 Ok, for anyone interested in testing the OBD I/II decoder, I have a very limited beta version available. It will decode OBD I codes 11 through 14. Just use the barcode scan app to scan this image with your Android phone.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beepbeepmyredjeep Posted September 4, 2010 Author Share Posted September 4, 2010 Please note you may need to enable "Unknown Sources" to install the application. From the home screen, this is under Menu->Settings->Applications Check "Unknown Sources". Once you have installed the app, please uncheck "Unknown Sources" to keep your phone secure.

beepbeepmyredjeep Posted September 4, 2010 Author Share Posted September 4, 2010 Bad news for AT&T users. Apparently AT&T has disabled your ability to install applications, unless they come from the Android market. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
