[Q] GPS without Data/Network connection - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all,
I have a HTC Desire with Froyo, rooted.
I wonder which application are you guys using if you want to use GPS without a data connection.
I will be on rooming on my next travel and I am bit lost with what to use. I will be travelling to Spain.
I have found this thread about Offline GPS app but I am not sure if this also applies to Desire.
Thanks

I use CoPilot works awesome....no data needed!

Is this a Free solution? On the Market I only can find a paid option.
Which I then assume each map would also have a cost involved?
Thanks
Rui

Dear larbac,
I am using NDrive. It not only allows offline usage, but is also the best regarding map quality, accuracy and performance.

Obrigada pela resposta. O NDrive é uma solução gratuita ou temos que pagar pela aplicação e/ou mapas?

I was thinking about trying this app. But this is Buy application the free version is only an update.
Is this a try&Buy or a paid app?
Thanks

MapDroyd
This one does not seem to be to bad... The maps take some time to update but is no data and does what it says. Nevertheless I can not get it to work with navigation. It only displays maps and my location. Will not help me with navigation.
Next step is to try Copilot, navigon and NDrive

Why go WM6? What are the benefits?

I looked on the forum and on the XDA wiki, but couldn't actually find anything about this.
Why should you upgrade to WM6? What do you get out of it? I've read something about the Bluetooth stack being "better" in some way, but don't know how. Is it more stable? Is the included application suite better or cooler? The shell looks almost identical.
Thoughts/comments?
Amongst many others:
Far more stable
Office 2007 compatability
SDHC compatability
Welcome to XDA Developers. Here is a previous thread same subject. That way we don't all have to answer the same question again.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=308978

Thanks Jasen, that thread was extremely helpful and got me to make up my mind to upgrade
I went back a few pages but didn't see it, originally. Goes to show you how busy this forum is, I guess!
This may give you an idea

This came from a document called "MS WM6 Oficial Reference_Guide" that I found somewhere in the WEB, the document is a 11MB pdf and this is only a summary page (broken in 3 parts), note that in "audience" there´s no customer header.
Another few Points
- WPA2/AES Support
- more stable
- a lot faster

ublox 2 nmea

Anyone know how to enable the NMEA mode in ublox receivers? I'm writing an app that requires NMEA strings, however, it looks like the EVO 4G has ublox and is not streaming NMEA.

Not sure you know this,but this is the wrong section to ask questions,this is only for development and to answer your question,try this ... http://www.u-blox.com/en/tutorials-links-gps.html and here... http://elmicro.com/files/sparkfun/u-blox5_protocol_specifications.pdf if you havent already.
Thank you for your quickly reply. I thought, this was a development question. I'm guessing that putting a ublox driver into nmea mode can only be done as part of a development task. This issue is blocking an NDK (JNI) project.
Is this forum for only ROM modifications?

No this is for general development,but you need to at least have a beta ready for download and testing,otherwise this will be moved to Q & A.
As far as the driver question,i have no knowledge of this,sorry,i just googled the links for you.Gl.
I suggest if u have a question that u ask in q&a section...that's the question and answer section in case u were wondering.

[ORGANIZATION] Porting CM10

Hello.
I'm starting a project for porting CyanogenMod 10.1(or 10 maybe) for Samsung Galaxy Y, and I will use this topic as organization and recruitment.
Before posting, read this about ME:
1º - I don't promess anything and don't know if this project will go forward(will depend if i go make progress, if people help, have a lot of things).
2º - I'm not a experienced programmer, I have only knowledgs in Java(for android applications, windows applications and LEGO) and aren't much, and web stuff(PHP, HTML, CSS, JS).
3º - I'm brazilian. Actually I'm registered in a English class(but its Basic 3), and don't know much well of the language.
4º - I will try port and organize people to help in this project, but how I said in 2º I don't have much knowledge in porting or something facing to this.
If you hope on me, read this about PROJECT:
1º - Almost all people want help, and make this topic has become disorganized, so: only people who know something useless or want be a tester(maybe you will BRICK your cellphone) will enter in the project.
2º - The project aren't going use the XDA for interaction between their members, because anyone can make a post with a lot of **** here(we will use something like OUR forum).
3º - The release will be TOTALLY free(I'm saying this because today I see one brazilian blog selling jelly bean for galaxy y, and this sucks).
4º - Other rules will be discussed later with the members.
Requeriments:
* Some knowledge in English;
* Some experience in one of the areas;
* One Galaxy Y(seriously?);
* Not have a child's head :cyclops:;
* Patience for learn things(If we knew already how to port, already have a port.);

SMS fishing using some ROM's

Hi guy's,
there are some rom's floating around that are responsible for sms fishing.
Meaning in some cases an sms is send to top up some mobile number.
This also means there are some security issues going on and that information
is send to devious party's.
If you have experienced something like this, then please let us know when, how
and what rom are where running. Other information is also appreciated.
Maybe it's time to setup some kind of security check system here on the board.
Thank you.

These words sound like a stone, have you got any list of these "trojan" roms???
Where did you heard about it?
Maybe we can do a list...
Yes, I do understand your feeling.
But let's see what other comments come up before we start fingering the culprit.
Such a useless thread.
You just say somewhere are roms which are fishing SMS.
You don't give any examples, you don't even say how anybody can notice it if SMS are being phished.
Additionaly this is the wrong section, it would be more like general information, and not Desire General, instead Android General.
Edit:
Ever since I tested this rom I keep getting fishing SMS.
Asking to top up some mobile number. In this case number 0494296797.
Obviousquestion: why is my mobile phone being attacked?

(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41475579&postcount=243)
This concerns [★★ SMS ★★ ]★ RSK TEAM ★ ORIOLA Xperia Z★
I think you should prove first that you don't lie and this is a discussion for this single rom.
You're saying that some roms are phishing SMS, you have to prove this
Look sunnyboy, don't call me a lier.
I tested it with three sim cards and now all of them get the same kind of sms messages.
Also use the same configuration with all the roms I test, same apps same conditions.
And to be fair, I did not name any specific rom, yet.
You have to admit this sounds very suspicious.
Perhaps it would be wise to put a screenshot of the SMS or at least the text of the message here so people can see it and maybe help.
This was the last one which arrived on an other test sim.
This time in French other times in Dutch:

I was just thinking maybe there's some rouge app that's causing it as you said you're getting the same even on other sim cards. But also maybe you're very unlucky yo be constant victim of these attacks. Or who knows maybe you got some sort of virus that's causing it. Not sure if the ROM would be the cause as there would be loads of information on this issue.

Sorry, didn't say anything about being an victim. And so fare only one sms has been send
to each sim. But it is obvious that the sim card numbers have been send out using the last rom.
And to be clear, I use the same setup on any of the rom's I test. If it is an rogue app, then it is
one in the rom.
Let's wait an see if anyone else is experiencing this.

I have used most ROM's available on XDA (if not all), never had such issue ever.
Also AFAIK, the sms you posted is not any kind of phishing it's a SMS from your GSM operator.

And to what virus are you referring to that is resistend to a full wipe.
edit; and in case you think I don't have internet, the other sims are for other operators.

Then call the operator of whatever SIM you're using, what ROM has to do with it?
I dont understand why you posted this in Development section either, but w/e.
Full wipe meaning format. Meaning format and repartition in linux.
