Android Data Loggers?
I had been using Shadow Logger, but now I'm getting an error on my Android phone since the beta version has expired. I search the Google Play store and Shadow Logger is no longer in there. Two other apps pop up: msDroid & MSLogger.
Is Shadow Logger still available somewhere?
Has anyone used either of these other two apps?

I have the bluetooth adapter that Phil sells and I have had no problems with connecting to my phone. The only times I have had disconnects have been when the device falls off the MS because I did not screw it all in.

Ah yes, the computer bluetooth connection is a bit sketchy. The logs I've taken on my phone hold on to the bluetooth connection fine. Tuning with a laptop and bluetooth, I find Tunerstudio freezes up for a few seconds at a time, every now and then. I imagine that could be very frustrating tuning in real time...I only used bluetooth while tuning idle.

Since some Droid Tablets have USB (at least for charging and external storage/keyboards), could it be possible to envision USB cable connection (charge and MS communication)?
Or is it impossible to have a serial port in Android (keyboards might simulate something)?
BT work fine between phone and GPS in a race car (both on their own battery though), so it should be possible to get it to work properly if the noise from the ECU doesn't disturb the BT dongle.
But since a cable would be in there anyway (constant power never hurts), why not use it for the comm too.

Basically because of the type of USB chip most phones and tablets use you cannot create a serial-> driver. I looked into it a few years ago and once I hit that it physically was not possible I stopped researching.
