Anyone try this yet?
I installed it this morning, was pretty excited. However, it doesnt navigate to downloaded .torrent files on your sd. It says "to begin, use the browser to open a torrent file" but I cant seem to get my browser to just open a torrent file. Not sure if I'm not doing something correctly, or if the app is garbage. Anyone else?
Decided to try it out myself. I had no problems with using the browser to get torrents. Only problem i seem to have is that torrents from private trackers wont start.
for the people who have used it....is it worth getting? dont feel like buying then returning it if i dont like it...
trying it now seeing how it works
I've got it working now. Torrent wont start though, downloaded from mininova.

yea I have the same problem
in its current form its not worth getting, i can get nothing to actually download.... maybe will get fixed with updates
You all say its not worth it at the moment, does anyone else have an alturnative Android seriously seems to be lacking one atm.
can anyone post the logcat output from when this is running? I'm curious to see if there are any error messages when you cant connect.
It says FOSS but I don't seem to be able to find the sources for this.

I just run rtorrent in Debian on my phone. Works like a charm.
Hi guys!
I made this!
I added an update today which should fix that private tracker thing. It was a problem with port collisions.. my fault.
Let me know if you have any more problems, feedback is appreciated. Source is coming, just need to clean it up..
Rich
If you're having specific problems, please send me the actual .torrent, your location, your network connectivity and your build.
Some people are claiming that it says they don't have space, but I can't recreate this bug and I'm wondering if it's a custom build thing.
Rich
[email protected]
mine says the same thing about there not being enough space. Im wondering if its not pointing to the SD cards location?
Fixed that bug.
anotherbittorrent client abtc
I started using the program about a week ago and found out that if u use btjunkie website most will start to download. I have had a problem with the downloads stopping and not resuming. U can only download one torrent at a time. If while downloading u plug in your phone to charge the torrent will quit downloading. I can't wait till the software gets a couple more updates. Then I probley will start passing 25gig a month downloaded thru tmobile.
This app still does not download anything for me. I just tried dowloading Ubuntu with it.

Im using it now, its cool that you can turn it off, hide, sign out etc, i think it will come in handy at some point....added to the collection
I am trying to install this on my phone, but every time I try to install it's failing and saying please reinstall and opening internet explorer with download page.
installing as we speak.... question though which I didnt quite understand from the page I read on it. In order for me to see someone on the phone... say... my wife... she also has to have this program installed? It would be awesome if it was a simple as putting in someones phone number and you could get a trace on them haha... like in the movies
trying to install but it keeps giving me an error saying it cannot find the URL required during the Midilet install. help?
I downloaded this but will the Manila/TF2D tabs still point correctly to Google Maps?

I'm for instead of new features, they fix it for VGA. If you have a vga or larger screen, allow us to zoom in more than a 2 block radius. I miss being about to zoom to 2 house wide zoom.
The file GoogleMaps cannot be found...

Yeah she have to have this installed. And you need two Google account. One for you and your wife. Run the program then hide it in the background. The stalking begins.. Lol
You can also view from igoogle. It says that it's unavailable in my location, but if i go to m.google.com/latitude in my browser, it takes me back to igoogle and latitude works.
Installed yesterday, working like a charm. Like a couple others have mentioned, it only gives me the download if I use PIE.
It's really pretty cool, especially the "exit but hidden" feature. I hate having anything in my task list
I'm running into a ton of bugs with this, on the PRoven 1.14a ROM.
THe first time I run it, all is fine. But the second time, I get a lot of nonsense in the menus. The left softkey says "your phone number" or "los angeles," depending on which screen I'm on, then brings up functions that don't seem to make any sense ...
If I uninstall, then reinstall, all is fine the first time I run it. And it goes wacky the second time again.
Here's the cab if anyone wants it.
This is an awesome feature...wife and i tested it today. Now my two oldest kids (sitting on WM devices) can't get away with the stuff my wife and I did when they start high school next year. I am so happy I'm not old. I'm such a ninja father!

But do they have google maps always on?
If the wm phone is off it isn't possible to look where they are or am i wrong?
I installed latitude but i'm the only one on the map (i know i don't have any friends. but it would be nice to look where my kids are.
Then it will be Xmas tomorrow, they get a nice wm machine
Installed it and it works like a charm. Combined with the new radio (for better GPS locking), its an awesome application.
Thanks!

Has anyone purchased this new app yet? This is one of those barcode scanner apps that finds torrents. Its $2.99 right now. I wanna wait for some impressions before I make the jump. The concept sounds pretty cool though.
Just saw the youtube video for it, from the video it looks simpler than torrent droid. I don't know if it is though since I haven't tried either. I'm almost willing to take the plunge seeing as I've spent more on less
Personally I'm waiting on a free torrent app before I try torrents on my G1. BitTorrent has always sat in a gray area, but an app like this pretty much supports piracy since 9 out of 10 times you're not going to be able to preview a movie or album in any short amount of time while you're in the store using a p2p download. I don't see it staying up on the market for very long in a commercial form. Besides, you have a 24 hour period to request a refund so if you want to take the plunge and don't like it you can refund.
torrent droid apk
It looks like it has not been released yet however, if it has and I have made a horrible horrible mistake, can someone provide the .apk or a link for the DL? I'll provide the same if/when I get it.
Thank dudes

You don't seem to have read what the previous guy said: it doesn't DL to your phone. It sends the DL to your home PC.
Your point is the same, however, since it is farly exclusively for piracy.
-bZj
They send you a eyepatch in the mail with every purchase! YAR! Dun pillage me b00ty!
That aside, I took the plunge and this app was definitly worth every penny.
There are plenty of legal uses of BitTorrent.
Case and point, I tried to download Ubuntu last night from one of the many mirrors listed on the Ubuntu website. I got average 150-200 KB/s download speeds. I went to isoHunt, picked the first result for the same release (perfectly legal) and averaged 700 KB/s. This was a perfectly legal use of BarTor.
The BarCode scanning is a perk, it is merely an additional way of entering the information you would have entered anyway. And it even provides a couple of search results for purchasable products offered online, often at much lower prices than the retail store you are in.
With the barcode scanning piece, I think it would be awesome if CDs were released with a QR Code linking to a sampler or something to that effect, so I could listen to a sampling of the artist and/or others. I know that I probably cannot change the way this type of content is delivered, but there are opportunities existing with this type of technology.
i bought it yesterday unfortunately i couldn't get around to messing around with it until today and after a few different ports being forwarded it finally stopped saying failed when i clicked on submit to client and now says success. just wish it had a gui so i could check on percentage complete, sorting by file type. thanks for the app nex, loving it so far. i also just noticed if i hit back to get out of the app then the next time i go in it force closes. its happened to me 3 times and I've deleted the .db file and then it goes back to normal, guess i just have to remember to not back out of the app and just hit home instead
I purchased the app and it works great. I think it is great to see more legal uses for torrents. I like being able to send torrents directly to my home PC when I'm on the go.
I'm not sure why mine isn't working. I am using uTorrent 1.6.1 and I entered my pc's ip address in the app with the ip address and the uTorrent port in the app. I scanned a dvd that I already owned and it's been stuck at Submitting To Client... for about 2 or 3 minutes.
Is there anything else that needs to be done?
Maybe it's my firewall... or router... or torrent app...
I thought this was supposed to be simple!

Make sure you portfowarded correctly, did you try looking up the webui on the utorrent forums? No I bet, Here check it out http://forum.utorrent.com/viewforum.php?id=20
and the documents for installing
http://utorrent.com/documentation/webui
Hope that helps you set it up, the thing that causes the most problems is the Portforwarding so make sure you do it correctly
I helped with the beta testing on this and love this app. I was the first one to purchase it and rate it (never said "first" though). As for the comment above about wishing it had a gui, it just sends the torrent file to your desktop torrent client, so your desktop is the part that needs the gui (and if this app works, you have a gui because that is a requirement). Read your torrent client (utorrent/vuze/ktorrent) help to find out how to use it. I have a shortcut on my desktop to my ktorrent webui so i can view/edit the torrent download settings.

I'm no expert... but I think that may have something to do with the problem.
I tried F5... http://127.0.0.1:port/gui... http://127.0.0.1:8080/gui... pretty much everything that they had on the site to include http://YourIP:UTport/gui/?action=setsetting&s=webui.cookie&v={} (which did nothing) so... maybe i just need to reinstall uTorrent. I can't upgrade because I need it for BitSoup (they only support a handful of browser versions).
I assume that you are currently on the same WiFi network, and that you've made sure to enter the private network IP of your PC? Did you get those results when viewing attempting to view the Web UI on the PC in question?
I used the wrong words i guess, just something so I can see a quick rundown of what's actually downloading, because I had a torrent I tried to submit to client and it said failed but when I got home it was downloading and I never tried to submit it after the initial failed message. i mean dont get me wrong the app is good as it stands, just putting my 2 cents in for something i'd like to see

i dont know if anyone is having this problem but i have tried to send over a torrent a few times today and it stays at the submitting to client point for about 10 minutes before i just cancel it out, yesterday i sent over a torrent and it took about half a minute to get the success message. i went on from the computer where i am and utorrent is active but for some reason i cant submit from my phone. just hoping someone can help me out on this.

The default behavior is to retry failed downloads on Application Entry and Exit. After receiving the fail message, when you exited BarTor, the download was retried. It will continue to do so until either the submission to the client is successful or you cancel the download (Menu --> Downloads --> Cancel).

It looks like you've got uTorrent encrypting things and/or the WebUI is not handling the GZipped files properly. Maybe a reinstall of uTorrent or at least the Web UI will help.

Okay. Thats a nice feature so I don't have to keep trying to send it. What about if its stuck on submitting to client? I've deleted the .db files and rebooted my phone a few times and tried it through wifi also, but I still get the submitting to client for awhile before i just cancel out of it. I have re-entered my information a couple of times to make sure i had it right. i went into it from a computer using http://yourip:port/gui/ just to make sure my utorrent wasnt down and it came up right away. Also i have tried it with different files and sites just to make sure it wasn't a particular torrent site that was having issues. I can't think of what else to try or what it could be. Any ideas?
I did all the searching I could before posting this so I hope my first thread doesn't turn out to be a fail. Firstly I got root on my phone the other day and installed the Magic image and it works really well!
My question is does anyone know if browser uploads can be enabled somehow through root? I have a torrent server setup at a friends ISP and it would be really nice to be able to upload torrent files to it on the go. Is this currently possible or is there anyone currently trying to get it working?

you might rename this thread to something like Torrent/Browser Uploads .. there may be other people looking for info on this .. i honestly have no clue .. there is only one other thread talking about torrent connections and that's via tethering .. so there could be some connection

happy reading!
I guess I should elaborate, what I am talking about specifically is when you go to a page with an upload form, where you would normally select a file it just says "Uploads Disabled".
I'm not actually trying to do torrents on the phone, I essentially just want to upload a file over the browser.
Have you tried with the steel browser?

Most likely uploads like that are blocked by the carrier. If they allowed that it would bog down their network and slow everyone else down. The only uploads permitted are pictures to like facebook or myspace.
Well if i remember quite correct , it also says "UPLOAD DISABLED" when surfing via WIFI ..
Its more due to the fact that the G1 has no file browser by default and the published one doesnt go deep enough into the system (aka the browser just dont recognize them) ... :-Z

What torrent application are you running on this server? BarTor handles torrent uploads to several popular torrent clients (uTorrent, Vuze, KTorrent). If it's not one of those, we can certainly look into supporting the client you are using. I realize this is not quite the same as what you are asking for but I thought I'd chime in anyway.

This sucks .. for each site and upload a different app <.<
Huh? BarTor is one app, which enables download of torrent files from anywhere and upload to anywhere that is running one of the supported torrent download clients. It was only a suggestion as an option for darrin0101.
I get what you are saying though, and if this post was not specifically about torrent uploading, I'd probably not have commented at all. I wonder why no one has recompiled the browser with a file manager, or to use an existing one? I'd do it if I didn't have to download the entire android source to do it...
Well, i would if i could more than php and mysql ^^
I don't know if a filemanager can take the role for this because i dont know if the browser has a pick file hook
further this should be for nonrooted android users as well
But i would'nt say no to a fix for this only for rooted users :>
Just set up an FTP server on the remote system, and use one of the FTP clients on the market for uploading? uTorrent allows for automatic loading of new torrents in a specific folder.
Oh, and shall i upload pictures to websites this way too?
attach files to rapidshare this way too?
attach files at a forum this way too?
and so on..
has there been any progress on this yet? i would like to be able to upload pictures to my site, which is wordpress powered so i have an upload form.
Maybe give loccy a ring and see if he knows how.

I doubt that's doable granted it would probably involve modifying objects in the Browser.apk, so the people who would be able to use it on their phones would be the rooted users who can push modified browsers to their Android phones.
U have to use the oprea browser it let u upload anything.
i don't like opera too much, granted it works for this issue but the ui is ugly imho. besides i'm a bit ocd and i prefer to have the original pieces of software but working the way they should have been from the start. which usually means modding the stuff that came on the phone

youtube.com probably won't work with any browser, at least until java for android comes out. why not just use the youtube app?
Havent been able to find anything related to the G1 for this and am wondering if some one has or has any work around ideas. This app was one of the working apks that we were able to use off the sprint hero dump from last month but now they have put out an upgrade file to download, once u download this upgrade from the prompt in the app it will install then telll u this is for sprint customers only
So u can uninstall then reinstall the original apk and still have the widget work but anytime u try to launch the Nfl mobile it will require the "updgrade".
Really stinks, was a great app to use, hoping some one has some skills to figure this one out!
i had the same problem before cause i had the sprint updater app installed but, without the updater installed it gave the the update speech again... it was good while it lasted...
you might be able to edit the build.prop so that the phone recognizes as a sprint device.... I am not really too sure though.
This should be moved to the applications forum....Also, the sprint apps, I believe are considered warez, and therefore you probably won't be able to find them on these forums.
Try editing the build.prop and faking the carrier (getprop & setprop)
awesome maxisma thanks for the suggestion! Im going to do some research on how to execute that and give it a try. ill let yea know how it goes Reg442
I didnt get any prompt for that upgrade?
...it works on g1/dream. I am not sure it is 100% functional but it does what i need it for, i use it every sunday...
if its still working for you it wont for much longer. The new version doesnt work and the old version forces you to upgrade. The original apk needs to be edited to not force the update. I dont believe this belongs in the app section since it requires development to get this app working again

I did this, then went back tot he original apk and every weekend it works for me or when a game is on. At least getting all the scores of the game works that's all I really used it for anyways.
Ya I used this app for awhile. I know that it was fully working on rogers roms, but the nfl network live stream and vids dissappered when using a hero rom (well sense hero by cc). I used the build.prop from eno rogers w/cc's sense hero and nfl network part started working again. Then I got the dreaded update. I assumed something can be edited in the build.prop, but haven't tried yet.
Might want to start by replacing ur current build.prop with the one from sprint hero dump, but be ready for fc's. Also going to have to have wifi as it is cdma and u won't have a radio signal, but its a good starting point...
Anyone have any luck on this? ** BUMP **
I figured this one out long ago: edit the build.prop. This worked for the videos and everything else before the update, but the update checks for something else outside of the build.prop now. I suppose it wouldn't be that difficult to disable the updating part; I'll try to take a look at it again this weekend (possibly tomorrow) but no promises on how quickly I'll solve the problem as I have exams next week.
I already have it dissected, so it'd just a matter of finding what either:
A) the new app is checking for to validate that you're a sprint customer
or
B) disabling the updating part in the older app (but this might not be part of the app, as it could easily be part of the webpage, making this option a lot less viable)
Too bad...
This NFL app was very good. I was disappointed when the upgrade came but figured something would be done eventually to take that away from us. There are some other great apps out there and I would imagine they will only get better. This Monday night I was in the car for four hours on a business trip and used SportsTap to keep tabs on my Patriots and it was a fairly good experience. Also, the NBA has started putting out some of its own apps that are pretty good, so I can't imagine it taking much longer to get an NFL app in the market that will be as good if not better on all Android devices.

Sorry, didn't recheck this thread. But as of now, I DO have an update
So here's been my work from the past few weeks (al beit, not much lol):
I figured out several different possible methods to either disable the update check in the original APK and also a different method to disable the check for the sprint customer check. For some reason, the NFL_prod (newest version of it as far as I know) is looking for some Sprint file that doesn't exist on the G1 (obviously) and it seems that it uses a boolean to check it so that's a cake walk.
Here was my problem of not being able to do anything about it: I couldn't install either of the APKs due to not having the original key. But a few minutes ago, I found the stupid key. They left it in the APKs for my viewing pleasure apparently
Soooo, long story short, I pretty much figured it out. I haven't recompiled the APKs with the new keys yet because I probably have to redo all of my modifications on both of the APKs and test which ones work. Sorry about not updating, life has been hectic. Expect another update here soon (probably not tonight because I'm going to go watch the Colts game at a local restaurant)
Feel free to follow me on Twitter as well, that way it's easier to give updates and let you know when my work is completed.

Edit: it appears the Sprint TV app thing has the key in it as well, but I haven't touched that one yet and dunno if I will. Maybe if there's a lot of people wanting it I suppose I could take a look at it. The security measures in these programs are God-awful.

Sweet success! Working out a few last bugs then it shall be ready
The only two bugs that I'm aware of at the moment include:
A) Widget doesn't work at the moment (this is definitely not a high priority on my list)
and
B) NFL Network doesn't show the video part yet, but audio is functional. The featured videos, etc, all work properly with the video and audio; it's just the NFL Network Live part isn't fully functional yet. This should be fairly easy to fix, as I have done this before.
Just wanted to post an update real quick Back to squashing B first and then A if it's not too time consuming. This project has been a real nightmare, but oh-so worth it!
Edit: Forgot to add, the NFL Network is fully functional on the Droid according to a tester, many thanks to aimbriano!
Hi guys! Been trying to purchase comics using the Comixology app... problem is... it keeps popup up an error stating "Sorry, the transaction failed. The Paypal billing service may not be available at this time. Could you please send us a not to let us know?"
I send the comixology guys a note and they already gave me the same advise 3x... that I reboot, force stop, etc. the app... tried and failed. I even went to the point of re-downloading the entire app.
I have no problem downloading "free" comics... but can't purchase them on my gtab... I tried the app on my wife's android phone (I used my comixology account on her phone) and I did not encounter the problem that keeps displaying on my gtab. Anyhow, maybe someone had some experience on this problem? A solution? Through gtab?
I didn't even know there was an Android version out there! (see what happens when you go offline for a day).
Did you get this from the market?
I've used Comixology for a little over a week now. Very nice app. I downloaded the app from the market.
logcat:
Code:
E/ComicDetail(11064): Payment failed: errorid=-1 msg=Application not authorized
I just installed it. I am a big comic reader, so I would like to get this working, as well. Delving deeper, now....
EDIT: What UI are you running, just curious. Stock? TnT Lite? VEGAn? Other?
EDIT2: My guess right now is that PayPal is supposed to pop-up, and I'm assuming that it's using the canned web browser. Does that sound right? If so, it could be the TnT proprietary browser causing issues. I might be able to prove that with using a different mod, such as the VEGAn.
EDIT3: Also curious -- do you have the PayPal app on the phone? I can't seem to find it in the Market on my GTab. I'm basically stopping at this point anyway, as I wouldn't want to store my PayPal password on my GTab anyway, as it's just not secure imo. Adding my Facebook or Pandora ID is one thing, but anything financial is where I draw the line.
Maybe I can purchase on my PC, then this app with sync? That would work (at least for me).
Roebeet,
Sorry I can't help. I've been only reading free comics up-to-now.
Their desktop PC store doesn't accept PayPal? What's up with that?
Holding off, for now. Seems like they need to still work some things out.

Answer 1: I'm using VEGAn... with Launcher Pro.
Answer 2: Yes... there should be a screen that will allow you to log-in to your Paypal account... saw this on my wife's android phone. Her phone was not rooted by the way... and using all the default software.
Answer 3: Yes I have the Paypal app... but decided to remove it. Regardless, its not working on both cases.
I believe the problem is with the ROM? No problem downloading and viewing free comics... not sure what will happen if I downloaded using my wife's phone (my account) then load up my app again via my gtab. It should display all my purchased comics (If one will believe the marketing hehe).
FYI, I also got an email back from comiXology:
"BTW, you can buy comics on https://comics.comixology.com and then download them to the app. You'll need to restart the app and your purchases will appear in My Comics."
I figured this was the case - the only issue I see if that PayPal is not a payment option. This whole setup seems a bit messy, so I think I'll wait until it's a little more stable. Anything that asks for my credit card info needs to be stable and secure, not "beta".
Thanks roebeet. Hmm, maybe this will open up some things... maybe for the devs... I used my wife's android phone... I was able to purchase the comics that I wanted and I force stopped the app in my gtab and launched it again. I was now able to download the purchased comic on my gtab... unfortunately, I still can't purchase anything on the comixology app on my gtab and will have to jump to my wife's cell just to buy it then download it unto my gtab. I believe it to be an issue with the ROM... anyone able to purchase anything on another ROM?

I have actually purchased quite a few things on my gtablet. I bought something from TigerDirect with a credit card, I bought a stand from ebay using paypal, and I have bought about 6 apps from the market specifically for my gtablet since the apps are better with the bigger screen. When I purchased with Paypal I was using Xscope as the browser.
I mean... has anyone able to purchase comics on this app... coz so far haven't been able too... at least on gtab running VEGAn.
Oh sorry

No problem The Comixology dev team already emailed me regarding the bug... and I informed them that it might be because I'm using a rooted device... hopefully, they can fix the problem that would allow paypal purchase (even on rooted devices). ^^
downloaded comics keep needing to be re-downloaded
I've been using the Comixology app for a few weeks and overall I have been very happy with it. However, today I began to experience a weird issue with comics I have purchased (on their website) which are then ready to download when I open the Android app. I click the Download Now button and it shows the download progress (10%, 15%, etc...) until it is completely downloaded and the botton changes to Read Now. I click on it to open the comic and it comes up fine. I close the app and go back into it and then it shows the comic needs to be downloaded again (it says Download rather than Read). It has happened several times today. It is getting frustrating. Has anyone else seen this behavior?
Update: By default, the Comixology app is set to use 500MB of storage. The comics stopped disappearing once I increased the storage limit.
