Most of the points made so far are very quick and easy to fix. Mostly just cosmetic. I hope to get another update, with these fixes made, over the weekend.</div><div><br></div><div>So far, it looks like the App works just fine, and I don't think we need many more betas.

We've got HOMELINK support (yay!) as well as all the new function and parameter settings. It does have the artwork for the Volts and Amperas, but no Twizy yet (sorry, that slipped through the cracks, but we'll get it in the next build). The App should support any 2.3+ Android phone, and should scale its displays to pretty much any resolution out there. Tablet support is implemented by making them look like big phones.<o:p></o:p></div></div><div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; "> <o:p></o:p></div></div><div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; ">There are a few things still incomplete (as previously pointed out at the start of this project):<o:p></o:p></div></div><div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; "> <o:p></o:p></div></div><div><ul type="disc" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; "><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; ">No social group support on the map<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; ">No cellular usage<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; ">Some recent artwork missing (this is easy, and will come in the next beta release)<o:p></o:p></li></ul></div><div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; "> <o:p></o:p></div></div><div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; ">These will come, but weren't considered essential for this first release.
