Anyone know what happened to weatherbug? I was re-installing some apps and cannot find Weatherbug. It was an app that I actually made use of on a day to day basis.
Sometimes apps leave the market for various reasons, either the author no longer wished to distribute the app [in that manner], or it in some way violated or was perceived to violate the google TOS. Because of this, if you are planning to wipe your phone, it is a good idea to make a backup of all apps you don't want to lose.

Found it odd that it would be removed after having an update just last month. I had done a backup using nandbackup as well as using the one that is built into Astro. I'm at work and the backups are at home, moved them off the SD to my computer. Was hoping to get it installed after updating to the newest JF build.
Maybe they're just prepping a new version compatible with the 1.5 release?
Their site doesn't seem to indicate that they've taken it offline:
http://weather.weatherbug.com/mobile/android.html
I didn't realize there was a recent update - I would've grabbed it. I'm on 1.0.498.

hopefully thats the reason why its gone from the market.
I love weatherbug, but its still a bit buggy especially in terms of the temperature in the notification bar.

I would think they would keep the original version for those that have not upgraded and release a 1.5 update separate. I did not have a problem running it on the Haykuro 1.5 version I installed prior to updating to the JF/LucidREM update.
ok..ok..I am not crazy then
I tried to look for it yesterday and I guess it was all in vain. I do hope if comes back. It worked ok for me on the 1.5 versions.
It worked for me on Haykuro's 1.5HR3 as well, but remember - these guys are doing testing against the official releases, and they're probably testing in a lot more depth than we are. Could be they found something, and decided to push out one app that's compatible with both 1.1 and 1.5.
Just a hunch. I'm thinking if they willingly removed Weatherbug from the market they'd have removed that page from their website as well.
They released weatherbug elite on the iphone so maybe they're getting ready for this on android. the elite is 99 cents tho
ok
I want
Weather bug....the loon misses ya!
I will pay.
I ran Weatherbug earlier today (I use it almost everyday) and the ad banner at the top was about Weatherbug Elite. I'm guessing they pulled the free app, which is beta (I believe), so that we can all pay for the Elite version. Yay!... not.
Well, I hope that means they will take off the ad banner. It was a little annoying.
Can someone post the .apk for those who don't have (and want) Weatherbug (beta)?
yes i really want this please!
It's back! I just downloaded it!

It worked for me too, but as soon as I would power on the phone I would get a force close from WeatherBug (without opening the app). After that, everything runs smoothly.
So, not like it's a huge inconvenience, but maybe that will be addressed.
Weatherbug was in BETA release. I looked on the market and the BETA has been removed but there is a free version there which works just fine on JFv1.5
Hell yeah.
Works nicely on jf 1.5
Never knew how much I would miss those #'s in th top left
"Sigh"
I'm good...I'm good!
I just want to spank them and tell them to never leave me again
I don't see anything that would indicate a paid-for version - just looks like regular ole' WB to me.
Is it 1.0.774 that you guys got as well?
Just wondering if anybody has looked into porting the HTC Sense Live Wallpaper (that was on the Desire and was ported to the Nexus One), so that it works on the Captivate or another Galaxy S phone?
Bump this. I would also love to have the HTC Sense Live Wallpaper for the Captivate.
Anyone?
same here. anyone???
now that we have 2.2 out for our phones, it should be able to be used. I know Nexus One has it available for 2.2

Has anyone tried saving to sd card, flashing an old 2.1 kernel, applying the update and then switching back to froyo kernel?
EDIT: this method is assuming that everyone's running froyo now.

Why? I've given up live wallpapers for the most part because they tend to slow things down too much, even with a lag fix installed.
I'll still give it a whirl after you figure it out, though.
i tried pushing the lib files over but ran out of space and couldnt push the apk...funny thing tho, i left the libs in the system when i restarted my phone, poof! no signal, X'ed out like there was no sim...i deleted them and rebooted and poof! back to normal lol (and airplane mode was off the whole time btw)
Anyone able to adapt to captivate?

Confused
This is supposed to be a blurless rom, correct? I loaded it last night, and def still has blur in it.... When I get home I'll have to see if it actually deodexed like it promised. Even Contacts are still blur...
I will say that it's FAST though..

All of the current ROMS have *some* level of Blur. Since we cannot bypass the Moto Kernel, there are some levels of base code that just have to be there.
Tranquility, Apex, zapX, and Rubix 0.5 were all built on the 2.3.15 release and then removed as much of the blur components as they could and still have it function.
Fission & Rubix 1.0 built from a base that came out of the Droid2 SDK which appears to be very stock Android and therefore, they are a little more 'blur-less' than others. Which is both good and bad. Time is showing that some of the blur components have some nice functionality that people are missing when they go completely blur-less.

This is absolutely true and was the same for the D1 except it wasn't Blur, but you can't build AOSP for D1 either without using the extract-files.sh to pull all of the proprietary components that make the phone work.
It's a basic truth about phone firmware.
can anyone tell me how the contacts list comes up aosp style or blur< i noticed blur has a thing to merge my phone contact with fb and twitter< without having to use the same name on fb and my contact info. please let me know thanks guys!!

I hate to say this, but maybe you should post this on either droidworld or another forum with an active thread. I doubt you'd get much support over here, not sure why. Tranquil. doesn't seem to be popular around here. I didn't see you mention trying a nandroid restore.... did you?

From what I read you may want to do a sbf back to stock 2.2 then install this.

Its running pretty damn good for me. And since I have Tasker set up to sync my data every 30 mins, my battery life is great also. I'd imagine it would be even better if I set it to sync every 45 or 60 mins.
Love TranQ3.0, and I never thought I'd be saying that.

So far, I've had like maybe one or two glitches.... sometimes after a reboot the boot screen gets left on the lock screen, so you can still unlock your phone, but you have to guess where the sliders are.
another is that the calendar widget doesn't work.
Other then those two, the rom is FAST, stable, and battery life has been great. Worth it to me in my opinion... It's not an ASOP "experience" though... it's more like a hybrid.
Like it so far though, it's my daily driver.
Edit: Also, this applies to STOCK people (running the 2.2 OTA).... I was odexed, completely stock..... installed this rom with ease: no wiping, no formatting, nada. AND it deodexed my phone for me.... LOVE THAT.

I have bought tasker aS well (the stock rom doesn't let the os sleep when gps is enabled so I bought it to turn it on and off for all my apps)
Now I like your idea of syncing every 30 but I use google voice exclusively. And the voice app. Does that mean if I turn off my sync I won't get my messages in a timely mater?

This rom also doesn't seem to sleep when wick is on. Am I missing something? Anyway I do see how this can save a lot a battery with the screen dining and everything. I had to wipe my phone to get it to work. Last time I tried when I booted every system app was force closing. I feel like this is a little slower than rubix but way faster then stock. Could be too the drawer just doesn't feel right. Too bouncy for me to use quickly. Ill probably go to pro launcher. But if I don't want to how do I customize the 4 apps at the bottom? Its driving me nuts

Thanks for the heads up.
I can't get the game either, on an AT&T Captivate in Canada.
Yeah I have been trying different phones etc this morning to get it. I put my phone as the Droid on their page and put in my phone number. It sent me the download link but when I clicked it, It said no downloads are available for your phone. I am trying to find a way around this ... grrrrrr.
If you try to download it from the WAPStore with a Captivate Rom it will say its not available for your device..
Right above that message is the option to change your device.. lol
Amazingly simple work around. Just change your device to a Vibrant and bada bing. You got game.
EDIT: 181mb file must be downloaded after you download the initial 4.something or ruther mb apk
Same here. Lotta people also saying what's floating around out there won't work on our Galaxy S phones.
it works fine one cyanogen, i dont know if i can post the apk?? i dont think i can do that legally since its not gonna be free for long..

Please, I know I am not reading this. Gameloft actually has done it right because they KNOW ATT app locks their phones so that is why they don't allow it. Imagine if they allowed you to spend the $5 to buy the game, only to find out you couldn't install it, you would be even more mad.
Needless to say there IS a fix as I installed it on my phone right now. You do NOT have to have a special rom to do it either, this is all you need
Requirements:
Phone rooted (got to market and get "One click Lag Fix" does it easliy)
App unlocked or sideload capable
If you have done that go to this post and read this thread. I am also attaching the apk for this, just in case if no one wants to bother with the stuff below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819721
What you want to do is change the build.prop. PLEASE MAKE COPIES of your original before you overwrite it. That really is your only goal for reading that thread.
Changing the build.prop makes the phone look like the i9000 which Gameloft will allow you to install the app. After the app has downloaded and installed. Copy the original build.prop over again and reboot your phone. You must reboot your phone each time you overwrite the file. Hope this helps.
I figured it is a useful trick to know as know it will have helped me for the 2nd time.
Or you can use the Android Central sideload wonder machine ... it works! Did it earlier
Still a fail... http://twitter.com/gameloft one tweet they say it works, the next no, this has NOTHING to do with rooting or anything else, it is a pure case of bad marketing and failing to do their research...
I managed to get it, they say they were having problems. This morning when I tried it sent me a text to site but I didn't think you could change the phone from there. I tried a minute ago and changed phone to vibrant and all is good.
Be sure to check back on their site. They will have more coming out through Christmas, but the links only stay up for about a day. Some days its iPhone while others will be for Android.

Was the issue with other phones similar to ours (i.e. FCing)? If so what was the issue and/or work around? Maybe we could try to find a work around ourselves!? I wonder if V. 4 requires a newer version of OpenGL. I know the previous versions required V. 2.0 of OpenGL??? Let me rip apart the apk and see what I can find.

Yes, the majority deleted the old music.apk then pushed the new apk to system/app and changed the permissions. I tried this, didn't work...

Well I looked at the apk and V.4 calls for OpenGL V. 131072 and according to my phone running FauxICS beta 2 I have version 65537. Not sure if that is an issue or not. I also noticed "android:hardwareAccelerated="true". I changed the OpenGL version in my build.prop to match version 4 but in the end it still force closed. Then I tried changing the hardware accelerated to false but that made no difference. I'll look and see if I can find anything else but does anyone have any suggestions or ideas?
