Thanks, I thought these graphics were very nice too, Toyota put alot of detail in the the designs. So which cruiser is not represented?

I didn't see one for my 98 UZJ100 series. Probably not a huge market for that one, only a few of us actually take them (the 100 series) offroad.
It would have been cool to have when we took the 100 to Moab though.

Thanks for the compliments, I'm glad you like it. I've been having alot of fun making this and it's what drives me.
Great update!

Any plans on 100 series graphics?

Thanks
This is the 3rd request for it, so I'll add it to the list, though it is #8, it will be a while, graphics are slow to make, plus it's time I am not working on more features.
The accelerometers in my Droid 2 Global seem to pretty much suck, but once I get a new phone I'm looking forward to trying this app out. Especially with 62 (or at least 60) series graphics

Thanks, if you have any suggestions, let me know.
Finally got me a new phone and this is one of the first apps I downloaded. Great job dude. Granted I went with the FJ60 graphic because it's closest to my 62, but all the ones you have on there are great representations.
I'm a little muddy on the sensitivity settings though. The default just looks way too herky-jerky, like the CPU is choking too much on it (which I know isn't the case), and when I set it a good degree lower (went down to 0.05 for s***s and giggles, wasn't pretty) it flips its s*** with every bump I went over. I learned quickly that it HATES railroad tracks
Do you plan on smoothing out the movement and implementing some sort of "buffer" coding to make it behave more like a water-filled gauge? Something that's still accurate but doesn't flip out like WALL*E getting shocked whenever you hit a bump?
Meantime, for everyone else who's using it, what sensitivity did you settle on?

Thanks for getting the app, I appreciate the nice comments too
.I am not clear on the choppy effect, you mention, definitely kill you background tasks, (hold the home button). Possible you are using too much memory, but again I've never seen this.
To better understand your problem, here is how the app works, 20 times a second the images are rendered, so the drawing should be fluid.
But, at 0.25 (4 times a second) on the "calibration + Sensitivity" is the default for how often the pitch and tilt is read and then displayed, so this is really controlling how fast or slow you see a response to the pitch and tilt.
The higher the #, the slower the response, you will see less changes, so on a bumpy road this might be best, try 0.5 You have less reading so, you are more likely to see the avg vs the extreme.
I had considered doing an averaging calc, but then you are never truly getting the current pitch or tilt, this would throw the max and min values off.
I am always looking for ideas and to improve the app, so if you have a good algorithm or just thought process for the avg, let me know. Plus if you are still having issues with the app or just not happy with options in settings after trying them a bit more.

That was the first thing I suspected because I had been playing around with my phone all day and reinstalling all the apps I normally use. But I shut down and did a fresh bootup, made sure no tasks were running (other than my email widget) and gave it a shot, and it still didn't appear fluid. Maybe it just uses too much resources for a phone and is more suited for a tablet? The inclinometer I have on the wife's iPad is smooth as silk, but on my Galaxy S3 (which I rooted and installed CyanogenMod on because it's supposed to be way more resource friendly than the stock Jelly Bean installation) it still looks like the image is updating maybe 4-8 times per second.

I just downloaded this and checked out the trial version for a while. I love the layout and the graphic design. A couple things caught my attention though.
The pitch doesn't work properly with my Nexus S. It's off 90* when I'm holding the phone straight up and down. And the pitch changes when I only change the position of the phone along the roll axis.
It seems weird to me the way the roll gauge works. It seems like the vehicle or line should remain stationary relative to the position of the phone and the dial should remain level with the horizon and rotate around the vehicle (or line for the trial version). I think that's how an analog inclinometer works.
The app also froze after several minutes of playing around.
Anyway, I'm not trying to be critical. I think it's a great app. I'm just offering my observations in case you feel the information is relevant to future development.
Keep up the great work.

The GS3 should run this with no problem, any 2.2+ phone or tablet, should run this problem free, every device I have used, has not had an issue, even my old thunderbolt. You are the first to report any issue like this. I've never run Cyanogen, I have only used AOSP ROMS.
Can you post a video? That would help.
Thanks
