Google quietly launched almost a new version of its "reader" Podcast and this integration with Google Reader was better than iTunes, at least for me.
The first version of Listen was practically useless, because besides having only Podcast in English he would not allow to add new, or was a list of the most famous U.S. Podcast.
Thus I continued to use the old free version of Doggcatcher which is very good but there was always checking if there was new episodes.
So I had to choose between buying Doggcatcher or find another program. Listen reinstalled and to my surprise that useless program has evolved and certainly has become the easiest way to track the Podcast.
The only thing missing is that I can see the graphic part of the AAC files in Android 1.6 this is not possible because it does not have this function in your codec. From what I read the device with Android 2.0 are compatible than the other "flavors" of AAC.
I asked on Twitter if someone has a more modern Android Smartphone is getting to see links and photos Guanacast.

The plugin for GFC (Google Friend Connect) WordPress stopped working in recent versions of Firefox, now finally found the solution. Apparently it's a conflict with the prototype.js and can be solved by placing the code below before the gadget:

<script>
window.JSON = {
parse: function (st) {
st.evalJSON return ();
}
stringify: function (obj) {
Object.toJSON return (obj);
}
;}
</ Script>

A few days ago I'm trying to test this new form of Google search, I saw the hint in Googlediscovery .

As Google's blog search engine that with the help of GPS should only be working on the iPhone and Android in version 2.0.1 and the U.S., but by what he saw here in Germany is working on Android 1.6. This I am sure that with the ROM Cyanogen Mod 4.2.13 and 4.2.10 from the ROM version that the browser on Android Eclair (2.x).

For me it appears the "Near me now" when I'm on the Web, but it appears the name of the city where I am. But all have Local search options of restaurants, cinemas, shops, ... closer to where I am. Detail is that these options appear only if I leave the browser in English or in German, in Portuguese also have the option to search for nearby places but the search does not show me a catalog of options.

One more detail to the preferences page of the Google page that asks for permission to use the location of the device.

But what is the great advantage of this system and see the video below.

Following the line put the name of a dessert for each version of Mr. Andro Erick Tseng - Senior Product Manager of Android - said the next version will be the Froyo or frozen yogurt. The staff was betting on Flan for dessert with F.

Only it was not clear if this will be the version 2.x or 3.x

The current versions are Cupcake (1.5), Donut (1.6) and Eclair (2.0). I'm waiting for version 2.0 for the G1, I hope they can make it run with 192 MB of RAM. This sure Eclair already pledged to the Magic that has versions with 192 and 288 MB of RAM.

I am currently using version 1.6 of Android ROM with Cyanogen Mod 4.2.13 and more Theme MarksTheme, which leaves appeared and functions very similar to what I have seen in 2.0, but some failures and some plugins are still making me missing .

The Google Navigation is a free browser that can do something that neither Tomtom or Garmin managed to do so soon, to show the path using the photos of the path itself. This has a browser that uses Street View, the idea is so good that a few hours after the announcement, the shares of both have had absurd drops of 16% (Garmin) and 21% (TomTom).

But Google has locked using the Navigation function in Google Maps on Android for anyone outside the U.S., nothing that the people at XDA can not solve. They put two versions available for those who want to try this super system, one for those who have root access and another for those without such access.

maps3.3.1-directions-by-the-root-2.apk (2.27 MB) or maps3.3.1-by-directions-root-2.apk (2.27 MB) ( the android-Tip hilfe.de )

To install the root is more complicated because you must uninstall and then install the Maps that changed with the commands:

adb remount

adb shell find / system / data-name \ * google \ * maps.apk \ *-o-name-delete Maps.apk

adb uninstall com.google.android.apps.maps

adb install-r-directions maps3.3.1-by-root-2.apk

adb reboot

Since the version-root installs in one second but this Maps folder (com.google.android.apps.m4ps) or they changed the maps by m4ps. I installed it this way so often keep updating the Maps and the first time I called the Navigation function he asked me to decide what I would use, then store and use marked for always m4ps.

Nav Launcher

Ready after we have released Navigation Nav Launcher install which is available in Market, is a simple screen with options to find a destination. Contacts appear only in your Google contacts that have registered address.

Another way to use it directly within the Navigation Maps, where it was now possible to set up a route can also ask to use the Navigation Route.

But not all flowers, in my tests it did not work in Portuguese, but it worked in English and German. Another problem is that Street View is not yet available either here or in Germany and in Brazil, so you can use it only on the map with satellite photos.

Still want to test it some more because without Street View he seems weaker than CoPilot Live, which despite being expensive has the maps offline.

PS

People! get the latest version 4.0 of the navigation maps for Brazil. Just install:

For those who have root, http://ul.to/cle2zs/maps4.0.0-1.6-brut3.apk

For those who do not have root access, http://ul.to/al55qq/maps4.0.0-1.6-brut3-nonroot.apk (4.0.0)

It's better than the version previously available ... 3.3.0.1. Now you can do the "pinch and zoom" (zoom with multi touch) and also save as a favorite!

Now after I have achieved the recognition of my degree, as I already wrote in the post:

Finally, the recognition of my degree here in Germany.

Today came the news on Deutsche Welle that a year from now will be much easier to be recognized.

Below the reporagem kibada here.

German Minister of Education and Research, Annette Schavan, announced government's plan to facilitate the recognition of foreign diplomas, highlighting the economic importance of the project.

According to the German Minister of Education and Research, Annette Schavan, the professional qualifications of about 2.87 million people residing in Germany were obtained abroad. Of these, about 500 000 will benefit from the new project of the German government, which seeks to improve the process of recognition of foreign degrees and diplomas.

The new 13-point plan for assimilation of foreign degrees and diplomas corresponding levels in Germany was presented by Minister Schavan, along with the charge of the German government to issues of integration, Maria Böhmer, on Wednesday (09/12) in Berlin.

"We have huge problems finding skilled workers in the next 10 years," Schavan said, "unless our economy suffered a stagnation in the next decade - which nobody expects to happen." Everything we do is aimed at further growth, and therefore is more than time to take such steps, "he said.

Single process

The main measure of the new plan is the creation of a unique process of recognition - an agency in which citizens trained abroad may ask for an evaluation and recognition of its securities, taking also into account the accumulated experience. Currently, the disparity between standards of evaluation of the different German states further complicate this process.

Schavan wants the new rules took effect from 1 January 2011. The new bill approved by the cabinet of the German government this week was part of the treaty's governing coalition between conservatives and liberals.

The new rule provides that each foreigner is entitled to evaluate your qualifications for a maximum of six months. After this period, he should be informed if your diploma will be recognized in whole or in part in Germany.

Emergency economic

According to Maria Böhmer, the planned legislation fits mainly to foreigners who live no more than ten years ago in Germany. The responsible government said the bill signals a new culture of recognition of potential migrants.

The Germans also profit, added Böhmer, because they can absorb more people with professional qualifications. The Minister Schavan, in turn, considers it an economic necessity, given the increasing demand for qualified personnel and to the demographic development.

With caution, immigrant organizations welcomed the government's project. Hilmi Turan Kaya, a member of the Immigrant Council of Berlin and Brandenburg, considers it an answer to a longstanding concern.

But this is only a declaration of intent to be evaluated in this parliamentary period. Anyway, Turan welcomes the German government is finally taking steps to solve a problem that, among other things, led to the existence of a large number of taxi drivers overqualified.

Review: Simone Lopes

I need to reinstall a lot of the programs I have on my phone, and so I had to assemble a list of installed applications. I'll just go to the blog, commenting on the best application. To do so must first be able to capture the mobile screen.

I found some ways to do this:

1. Via SDK Site following the hint esferaandroid.com or www.simplehelp.net
2. With the application screenshot-application as found on the site koushikdutta.com
3. Or the application ShootMe certainly the most convenient way.

With the screenshot application set-up a time and then the machine is making images at this time. It makes the images ShootMe if the device is shaken for about 5 seconds. Just activate the program and then when you want an image shake the device accelerometer that enables the program, you can hear when the image is made. The images are saved on the SD card in the "ShootMe." One example is the picture of this post, click to enlarge.

After applying the Android 1.6 Flash & CyanogenMod as the previous post we can update the system and also change the theme very easily just install the CyanogenMod Updater Android Market or you can download the application site.

The application is very easy to use and very efficient, by downloading and installing updates and issues. But before it work properly you must set it right.

Settings

Notifications

In Notifications is possible to define the frequency at which it will automatically check for updates and how it will warn you (tap or vibrate)

Rom Update Settings

Here it is possible to see the mark of Cyanogen Vercoe l'adresse if you want to risk testing them. The server may be pre-configured otherwise enter the address:

http://cyanogen-updater.googlecode.com/files/update_file.json

Theme Update Setting

The server issues have to be configured, at least for me it did not work automatically. Then go to "Manage Servers Theme" then click on Menu and choose "Update Servers Featured Theme" ready now it will pull all available themes.

Advanced Settings

Here we have the option to change the folder where the files are saved in the SD (cm-updates is the default), you can also clear this folder.

2 Program

The program is divided into three tabs with the first update of the ROM, with the second and third themes with the file that are saved in the cm-card updates. You can also download the files from your computer to that folder and apply to the program.

At the moment I'm testing the theme MarksTheme 4.2.3.1.e which is very interesting but I had to increase the number of screens 3 (default) to 5, you can increase up to 10 pages but do not want to have both programs or widgets.

After making the procedure of the previous post:
http://www.riesel.com.br/tecnologia/android-tecnologia/manual-root-celular-g1-android/

We can insert an alternative ROM for example I chose the latest version of CyanogenMod, version 4.2.3.

2. Put the files in the root of SD
3. Turn the power off
4. Connect the device holding the Home key to enter the Recovery.
5. If you want the option to return to the current version, select nandroid up now. Otherwise, continue.
6. Press Alt-W (or select "wipe data / factory reset") Press home to confirm
7. Press Alt-A (or select "apply any zip from sd")
   • * Dream (G1): signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip
   • * Magic32A / Magic32B (MyTouch): Check out this site
8. Press home to confirm and continue the installation
9. WAIT - DO NOT RESTART YOUR PHONE NOW, be patient.
