Re: NEW: OPR Android App
 

Most android devices have hard buttons for home, search, back and settings. It's the fourth menu that will bring it up. I'll talk to him about adding a button on the page instead of banking it off of the hardware.

Re: NEW: OPR Android App
 

Newer android phones just have back, home , recent apps buttons. The settings button only appears when an app is set to use it.

Thanks,
I'm using the HTC evo 4g LTE. I only have buttons for home, back and recent apps.

Does anyone know: How much memory and MIPS does a typical android phone have for apps?

Re: NEW: OPR Android App
 

Get a hold of 111, they ran FRC Spyder for a few years and it was the perfect app for FIRST. And it was pretty big and never crashed or messed up; atleast to my knowledge it never did.

Re: NEW: OPR Android App
 

I can't speak to mid-event OPRs, but post-event OPR predicts right around 80% of matches correctly. [random] You can actually use OPRs from previous events to predict high-60s to mid-70s percent of matches at a regional or world CMP. [/random]

But to be frank, I'm pretty sure knowing that is totally worthless in answering Andrew's query. I'm really curious as to the answer to that question. Might get into that as a weekend project sometime.

Re: NEW: OPR Android App
 

in 2009, I ran OPR after the match schedule came out at CMP for my field (Galileo), and it said we'd seed 3rd after 111 and 67. I had to go back an inspect the match schedule to verify, but we were partnered with 67 and 11 in a match each, and never faced them in quals. I swear we had the luckiest match schedule of the field. Ended up seeding 2nd after HOT had a freak loss towards the end of quals. 111 picked 67 and went all the way, IIRC.

OPR data after an event is certainly useful.

Wikipedia puts typical ARM processors used for android anywhere between 5000-15,000 MIPs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instructions_per_second

Re: NEW: OPR Android App
 

@stingray27:

That ought to be more than enough to process every match at every event, if you use the right matrix factoring algorithm.

I've got a 9-year-old desktop PC that can load match data, crunch it, and output the OPR results for every match for every event for the whole season in about 12 seconds.

Re: NEW: OPR Android App
 

Is an update going to be coming anytime soon because I still cannot update anything on it? So, for the time being, it is just using up space.

Re: NEW: OPR Android App
 

I am updating some things and adding functionality. An update should be available within the next 2 days! (Sorry busy weekend with the practice robot).

Re: NEW: OPR Android App
 

Thanks! :D

Re: NEW: OPR Android App
 

Hey Chief!

Thank you so much for your support so far. I was planning on releasing some additional functionality soon but ran into some bugs and issues described on this thread. I updated the app to the Google Play store mere seconds ago so look for an update within the next few hours. The fixed bugs include:

• Menu Bar eliminated - functions added as buttons to the screen
• Automatic updates if internet connection exists
• Corrected team searching when navigating from the awards pane

I am looking at new functionality but recognized that this needs to work for this upcoming weekend. So look forward to another update soon! Thanks for your support!

Re: NEW: OPR Android App
 

I'm looking forward to your update; I love the app just for figuring out who's going where. Much handier than going directly to TBA on my phone.

Is the behavior above controllable via option? Having a way to *not* have battery-draining apps running on a phone inside buildings that already block reception for many phones would be nice. I can always turn off my network, but it'd be nice to be able to bring up cached data (say, a schedule) without having the app try to update.

Re: NEW: OPR Android App
 

Great point to bring up! A more valid statement would be that I fixed automatic updating on first open. As soon as you update a regional, that data is cached on your phone and is usable from then on out until you update over it.
