Database Develop

My android bittorrent app *updated* (4.5.1) June 10

I've been slammed at work, and haven't had time to focus on this project AND I forgot to upload all the code.
The code has been uploaded though, if you want to be part of the dev team on the google code site let me know.
http://code.google.com/p/androidtorrent/
This app will download torrents directly to your phone. This is not a remote control app.
Version 4.5.1 has been uploaded. http://androidtorrent.googlecode.com/files/AndroidTorrent4.5.1.apk
4.5.1
This release fixes the speed in which the torrents start.
4.5
Added better navigation
All the force close issues should be resolved now.
To do:
Allow to run in the background
Hook up the search piece vi isohunt
Allow for downloading of large files.
<tech speak>right now, keeping the hash map in memory will grow the heap to 16 meg in a hurry on large files. I think if i keep the hash maps in a sqlite database then it may solve the issue</>

Trying it out now, get back with an update later.

how is this possible... i thoguht g1 is a cellphone only

works as stated on Google Ion r2. Thumbs up.
..waiting for this thread to be flooded with requests for what you've already stated in your to do...

i know ,, it is crazy how good the android OS.

how do you get this to work..
i downloaded the torrent files..what do i do next???
does this work just like youtube downloader??
where when you click on a youtube video, the downloader will pops up
but for this one...... when i click on torrent files on the site.
it just go straight to download ..........

So when it says you file is downloading, that means its downloading the torrent right? It doesnt give a percentage on how much is complete and how many user connected to? No upload and download speeds?
Not bad, I downloaded a 700mb file and it just finished now. I was on wi-fi, but little under 2 hours isn't bad at all. Just wish it would have progress and such. Any chance for that stuff in future updates or too complicated?

It works ok but very basic. As a few other people have stated I would like to see a progress bar. It never told me my file was finished I just happened to notice that it was on my sd card. Other than that I would like to see the standard torrent info like speed, time left, and how many peers. Other than that please add the option to select individual file from a torrent file. uTorrent can do this and is nice if you only need 1 or 2 file from the torrent and not the whole thing.

I'm not sure if I can do individual files, I will work on it though.
I will add in a better UI, progress bar etc. this was mostly a proof of concept.
Thanks for the feedback!

You have to open the torrent file in the browser download manager, or from a file manager.
the api to open the download manager is not public and doesnt work on all roms, so i cant just have it popup like i want.

This program works. just needs a good GUI.

Cool, I'll have to try it out. How's it affect the battery and stability of the phone?
Hope this doesn't have any adverse effects on our data plans...
Price, Bandwidth, etc...

I'm working on a file manager for the first page, so you can browse to the torrent to download and then I'm working on better indicators/ui for whats happening.
As far as stability, with Rosie running I quickly run out of memory if I try to download something too big. Without rosie it seems to be fine.
Haven't tested it for battery life, but im assuming its going to kill the battery pretty fast if you're downloading a large file (esp over 3g).
I hope to have version 2 out tonight or tomorrow.

I really didn't know notice any effects on my phones speed with roise and downloading a large file. I actually forgot I was downloading it until like the other guy said, I happen to see it in my sdcard and noticed a missed notification saying when it finished.
Other than that its soild stable so far to me. I dunno if it was the video I downloaded but it was corrupted when I tried to watch it. I redownloaded it on my PC with utorrent and it worked fine. I'm not sure what that was all about. I'm gonna try another large file tonight and see what happens.

yep, definitely needs a UI
I've been waiting for this though! Thank you!
One question though... does this always run in the background? (like download manager does) I don't wanna start downloading a 700mb file only to receive a text or phone call and have android kill the process....
Good job though... when you get a UI running please publish on market and I will purchase.

Looking forward to the next version. Keep up the good work.

Ok good to go!
The only known issue - If you open a torrent from the Browser download manager, the cancel button does not work. If you find anything else, let me know.

Thats the only thing I noticed thus far, I only tried it for a few minutes on 3g speeds but I'll wait till I get on my wifi and see how it works. That was a pretty quick update tho.
Whats up with the backdrop? My gf thought I was looking at a picture of my son I mite of had with another woman. Crazy women theses days!!!

What is the Best Screenshot App?

Ive tried a couple including one called screenshot with no luck. I cant seem to find one that actually works. I would like to update my signiture with my screens. I've also asked in a few threads about it with no luck
EDIT: Problem solved. Im using PicMe

shootme/picme works. You can find it free on market if you use 320 x480.

Agreed. I like Shootme. If you don't haver 320x480 market I think cp0020 posted the apk in his tips/tricks thread. Don't worry it's not a ware, as reddog stated, it's freeware

Thanks guys, i use 240x320. i did the market fix but i dont think it works anymore

Thanks i found it. Funny thing is, I checked this thread to see if someone mentioned a screenshot app and didnt see one. My apologizes.

ok, I just started up the app and it wants to use a shake procedure. and tells me, failed make sure i have root access. I changed it to movie mode and it took 500 pics in like 10 sec. lol Anyway to take a screenshot manually?
EDIT: i got it to say active shake phone to take a screen but that obviously dont work. What am i doing wrong?

Try PicMe.
I use that exclusively for all of my screenshots.
Works perfectly.

I got the job done guys thanks.
Myn, Does the server kick offline all the time for you or is it just me?

Occasionally. I believe it's androids built in memory manager purging the process as other items get loaded ontop of it. PicMe is a heavy application. It does a great job though when it's up.

Hey guys, I got PicMe from the Market but I'm having some trouble installing it.
It says:
"Failed starting server. Please check that you have ***ROOT*** access on your device... and enabled access to the lower level graphics."
Feedback would be appreciated.

[Q] Tango video chat

Anyone get Tango to work? I tried to install from maket. It downloads fine and then errors on install. Been trying to find an app that works between this tablet and a computer. Any one have any ideas if this one doesn't work? We already got screwed on the Skype beta front.
If I didn't see the potential in the hardware of the grab, I'd return it. So far, VS has really dropped the ball. Stock has no flash or video conferencing. Both on the box.. lol I'll stick it out and hope for the best I guess.

I've had no luck finding a usable video chat app. There's a separate thread for this.
I've tried multiple apps but none have worked...

Yahoo messenger w/ video chat works on mine running Vegan beta 3, but the webcam shows up sideways

I got Tango to work on mine, but its sideways.

Im running vegan b4 and i did a titanium backup on my increddible and then put the backup on my gtab, just apps and app data not system. Ike i said it works but the video of yourself is sideways ut besides that works great.

I mentioned in a previous thread, video calling works better with the gsensor fix. Video chat works fine with yahoo messenger atleast, and is not sideways like it was before the gsensor fix. Maybe it works better with tango.

just tried tango on my droid works awesome never knew much of the app, will give it a shot on my g tablet when i get home its running vegan beta 5 will post if it works.

Tango from titanium
Just a quick side note. If you plan on pulling it from Titanium you wont find it by searching 'Tango', you need to look for the 3 'sgiggle' files to move and restore.
I have it on my tab now but am not in a place to test. I got it to dial out, it was still sideways and died pretty quickly. I'm not too familiar with it so I'm sure it's an error on my part but I'll keep plugging away.

I can confirm Yahoo messanger with the video chat plugin works on VEGAn beta 5 orientation is fine thanks to the gsensor fix. I finally got a chance to test with someone. I don't know if it was just me or not since I only tried once, but after a minute or two I got errors but was able to hit wait and it kept going fine. Eventually I was unable to bring up menus to even exit the chat. Not even to my home screen. Had to reboot to get out of it.
Its a working option for the time being and works from android to computers. So, great option if the closing issues can be fixed.

a lot of people say they got tango to work with video showing sideways.. i see that on my screen but the person i am tangoing with just sees a blank screen... and when i hit the switch camera button it just alerts them that i am switching cameras and stays there..

I installed mine from the apk from my droid popped it in dropbox and than installed it that way, installed fine just cuts out when i try pulling up the video feed.

full market?

I'm running the latest Vegan rom and have done the market fix, but it doesn't seem like I have the full market. I notice lots of games and apps missing. I did the fix by stopping the framework service and market, opened titanium backup, wiped framework data. Went to market, got the error and rebooted. I noticed the market was much better, but still missing a lot. What did I miss?

I had to do the fix couple of times before I could see the entire market. YMMV

Do you also have what I'd call about an 85% market?
Before the fix, I'd say it was about a 60% market.
I'd like the full 100% like other people get

Same here.

Unfortunately, there are some apps and games that are missing even after the market fix. Most are there, but there are the odd ones that don't show. Smart people are working on this I'm sure.
If you have the know how you can try pulling and sideloading them from another Android device. If it's a free app you may find the apk elsewhere. Aside from that, we just need some patience. I'm pretty happy with what I've got so far.

i think there is a problem with market itself right now..ive been seeing problems even on the phones. i changed to vegan and had to sideload most apps for now

I also am missing part of the market.
the funny thing is that some things like Firefox showed up for me in the past but no longer do.
I don't know what I need to do to fix it.

Not sure if this will help you but I followed this video (different tablet) and believe I have all the market now.

About that Server Error message, I've been noticing for the past few days that the error seems to come up for much more often when I am at work than when I am at home. The internet connection at work is thru a shared Verizon Wireless connection.
At home I was able to go into the market and browse extensively without getting any error. At work I get the error almost as soon as I go into the market and just keeps coming up every few seconds.

Video worked for me thanks

I thought that I have full market working but just discovered
that Zeam launcher is not there If I use AppBrain market it's there but cant download anyway. On my rooted Nook Color it works fine.
Can anyone confirm please ?
Thanks

it is very strange. Shouldnt we have full access to the market? What if we make a build.prop file that has it recognize the tablet as a DROID phone? Would that work?

New Android Market V2.2.11

Just an FYI, I installed it and a bunch of stuff I couldn't find in the market before is there. ( I doubt it though )
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=P3SVF3IE
https://sites.google.com/site/droidlife24/home/Vending_2_2_11.apk?attredirects=0&d=1
Let me know what you think, I've had problems, so use at your own risk ( I should have put this earlier, I hope it didn't hurt anyone, as always back up first )
* I have been having wifi issues since this update. When it comes out of sleep the wifi wont connect automatically

might be jumping the gun trying market fix.

Cool.. Just loaded it on vegan beta 5.1. Seems to work just fine. Don't know if I see any more stuff, but never really had a problem finding things with the other ones.
I do notice that the appearance seems crisper. Like maybe they are using a higher quality. Or, maybe not.

Still the same for me. Stars still truncated. Missing apps still missing.
The new apk is about 600 MBA larger than earlier one.
Jim

Just for fun I went ahead and did the market fix again. Didn't need to but I saw the earlier post and was curious. I never could get it to open after the first reboot. Had to reboot again. Then once it started working I have noticed more of the "android.process.acore" errors, and server errors then with the older one. I will be rolling back to a previous version myself since this doesn't seem to really make anything better.

I wonder if there should be an updated GoogleServicesFramework with this?

Kind of wonder that myself. Did you notice any difference in the look? Like a higher res look for the fonts? Or was I just seeing things? That would sort of make sense for the size difference of the file I guess..

Works for me
I'm running vegan 5.1 with pershoots latest kernel and here are my findings thus far. I backed up market with titanium and installed the update, immediately opened market. Everything looks to be there, I searched for a few things and installed one or two. I looked for adw and couldn't find it, I did see its themes but not the app. Rebooted, loaded up market no fc's, until I tried to roll back to previous version to look for adw because I am almost certain it was there before. Interestingly I did see appbrain which I've never been able to get before. Never tried market fix, and did not notice any image improvement. Anyone know for certain what to look for to see if it actually improves previous market? I'm going to try and fix my market now and will report back if anyone's interested.

I installed via the apk (there is also an update.zip available) and all working well. No reboot or clearing Google Services Framework required.
I had previously preformed the well documented market fixes but could never quite get the entire market. Everything appears to show up now.

I'm not sure it is complete I can't find a few things. But then again I found a bunch of things I couldn't find before either. Catch 22 yet again.

anyone else having a problem with 'Media Volume' not working after this update? The rocker doesn't work, I tried to go in the settings (I had to unmute and turn the system sound back up - no dice), I even tried to play a video and turn up the sound using the software controls within that program....nothing works.
How do I revert back? Where is the old .apk located?
....also had to turn my wi-fi on with each reboot, which is new.
Running Vegan5.1

I think it would be most helpful if you guys actually listed the names of the titles of the apps that you either DO or DO NOT see once you have tried this. Just might help in the troubleshooting aspect. For what its worth.

ckelly,
search xda for market or vending.apk and you will find many versions to play with

Volume corrected on reboot #2.
Wi-Fi still needs to be manually connected..

@sixvolt
Since this appears to not improve things, you must have had even less apps show up than we did and this update brought you to par with the rest of us. Everything is relative
