nice find
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?

Only one way to find out I guess
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...
Anybody getting this when trying to get this to work via contact menu?

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!

Good to know that there are others out there like me...
aha ninja father's
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!
<shameless plug>It's included in viBranZeOS 1.0 ROM</shameless plug>
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.
Hey rockdevourer, got an update on this at all?

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.
http://www.twitter.com/rockdevourer
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!
I regret thoughtlessly letting my ES File Explorer update whenever it wanted. The newer versions seem to have a lot of problems with updating the screen and are, in general, sluggish on my NST.
I currently have version 3.2.5.1. Does anyone have an older version on hand?

The version I am currently using (attached) I've had for at least a year, and it has never failed me. Unfortunately, I can't tell you what the version is, since I'm using your framework-res mod and the gray text blends in with the gray background
Hope this helps!
To my aging bi-focal enhanced vision that is version 3.0.9.0. It would likely be completely unreadable without the framework mod.
Thanks a bunch. It's much better behaved. No more updates on that one!

Glad to be of assistance. Don't forget that you can turn off Auto-Update by navigating [Quick Access Menu > Settings > Update settings > Uncheck "Auto check"]. That way, you aren't ever "tempted" to update to the next version
ИΘΘK¡€, is that version working properly when you choose "view" button on the bottom of the screen? Every version I have tried to this point crashed when I tried to change the view,

It's very odd. It almost never works, but once in a blue moon, I'll try it, and it functions correctly. I've just resorted to ignoring it and using the "swipe to the left or right" function to change the view.
I am not sure that we are thinking about the same thing. I'll try to explain. In default mode when brosing directories I see an icon grid with very limited space for filenames. It is irritating when I try to choose the correct one from whole bunch of similar named ones, when the differencr is at the end of their file name, which is shortened/hidden. I want to change the vie mode from grid to list or something similar that would allow the filenames to be displayed fully. Do you have any solution for this? (Now I switch to Root Browser when I really need the list view, but that is quite an inconveniance)

Oh - pardon my mistake, there, I had forgotten what the view button actually did!
I do know to what you're referring, but I can't say that I know of a way to do that at the moment. However, I'm doing some research and experimentation to see f I can find out either an alternate way to switch views or a way to fix the f/c hitting "View" gives us. I'll keep you posted.
Not sure why I didn't find this the first time I went looking, but here is a place with many older versions of the app. Scroll down the page until you get to "previous versions" then hit the "view more" button.
I tried the earliest v. 3.x and it still produced the crash on "view"--something I had never noticed before with whatever version I originally had. Probably I never tried it.
The last 1.6x version (1.6.2.3) is stylistically a little different but has the (crashless) option to change from icons to list format AND the settings menu system is like the native B&N settings menu (yay!), i.e., you can read it easily.
Not sure about all other capabilities, but I'm easy on what I ask it to do. I use Root Browser for the heavy duty stuff.
Thanks, guys (sorry for the delay)!
Thanks - the newer version does work, but requires a lot of patience until screens are displayed correctly. I was always wondering why eStrongs still pushes updates to 2.1 devices that are too memory hungry to run properly - but here we go.
another reason to love this old version
I went to do some file cleanup this morning and made the discovery seen in the attached screen image: -)
No similar behavior on current market versions.
Really TICKED OFF that the MMS is dead. Read everything I can find on other Forums and nothing has worked. Going to start a new thread here because this seems to be the only place on the web where device specific discussion, especially for these this device, happens.
I am being offered a HUGH OTA update but it doesn't say what it is.
I am in the USA and the device actually came from India.
Anyone in the USA know if this is the 6.0.1 update and does the device retain full phone capability??
10/25/16
OK going to answer my own question.
Yes it is the update to 6.0.1
Did a lot of research before moving on with the download.
It will complete the download and then give you some instructions.
It will also list the Versions and build numbers. Looked those up to find out what reagion they were for and that told me I was getting a version for Australia so I was sure I was going to get to keep the phone function. I Did.
The research I did gave a bunch of instructions and cautions about backing up all your data and apps. WAS NOT NECESSARY. Every APP I had was reloaded and all of my screens were restored just like before. It even saved my APN DATA for the phone. The only oddity was that it put some shortcuts on the home screen to some of my Drive files and to my voicemail quick dialer.
General observations:
I HATE the SMS APP now. Lost a lot of control over the background and bubble appearance.
Not real enthused about the new drop down menu background and icon definition either.
The problem is both cases is that the backgrounds are white/light grey and the icons/bubbles are medium blue. Not a lot of contrast so they will be hard to see in bright light.
The new MEMO APP is going to take some getting used to but, I think I will like it.

Hello everyone! I have this device (with MIUI Global 12.5.3) for a month now and I have an issue, I cannot resolve: any downloaded file (pictures, documents, ebooks ... you name it), from any source (Google Drive, files downloaded with Chrome) is disappearing from the phone after 1 to 3 days, no matter what I do with them. I tried moving from Download folder to any other, tried to rename with Total Commander, rename in terminal (with Terminal Emulator) ... still some app or system service deletes them - not only from the Download folder but from any other location. Have anybody met this kind of behavior? Is there any solution?
update: the ROM is a plain MIUI Global 12.5.3 with no modification, no root, MI Unlock status is locked ... the phone behaved in the described way from the first minute, out from the box.
update 2: files copied by USB are fine

Hi at all,
Same issue here - my business files are disappearing randomly after a while after i download and move them to custom folders. (I use several webbrowsers to download and Total Commander to move or copy the files).
It's a pure disaster - my business files, work shift plans and so on get all deleted....
Anyone knows a solution to this issue, it's a killer bug?!
I no more can recommend the the phone, nor the company. Such a s***** mess..., they totally f****d it, honestly.
I disabled the security app, no more scans, cleanings or antivirus activities, all disabled, no change in this behaviour so far. More & more people are complaining about this issue, just search for it on the web.
Phone: Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro, no rooting -> Brand Firmware up to date (MIUI Global 12.5.10.0 (RJDEUXM); Android Version 11 RKQ1.200826.002.
Many thx in advance to whom who may help me and the rest of the users.

There's no solution, only a workaround: don't MOVE the downloaded files to their final location. If you COPY, it seems they will be "alive". If you move, even if the file is in the downloaded location for several months, it'll vanish in max. 3 days - just tried few weeks ago.
Meantime the phone is updated to Miui Global 12.5.6 - the problem stayed (so the AOD 10 sec. limit), i don't think they'll fix these "features".

Too too too bad XIAOMI. That is my LAST phone from you. Initially I was blown away from your hardware quality in a positive manner......BUT this is a killer function, like robbery in ones own home, coming back and finding things stolen.
I lost trust in you XIAOMI, and "trust" that is the most valuable good in the digital world - users should NEVER lose it in YOU. You totally blew it.
Thanks for N.O.T.H.I.N.G...... no more your devices. Back to SONY or SAMSUNG.
Thanks @blews.

My thoughts are the same: decent hardware for the price, but software wise is the worst phone i ever had. I never hated my phones until this. Maybe with a custom rom or root would be better but due to banking apps these are not an option.
I totally agree. The banking point just minimizes the options. It urges me to look activly for a new device...too bad.
At last, guess I found a working solution to this pain in the ...
Go to settings in the security app. There find the function "cleaning". In this subsetting just turn on "remember for cleaning". Set the remembering intervall to the maximum (e.g. 15 days).
Now the app asks now and then to clean in the notification bar. Just swipe the message to the side to close it. Nothing will be deleted this way...!
I remember that this remembering notification appeared by default as I first got the phone. In the brginning, there was no automatic deletion issue.
Hope this helps as I think it does on my device so far.....
Over and out.
I don't know... On my device I didn't gave consent to the security app's 'Terms and conditions' so I thought the app doesn't run. So, in my eyes one more issue concerning trust in a Xiaomi device.

No it seems to run in some kind of way, no idea how. Same with my app situation here, I had withdrawn all consents, still had that issue.
Other example is the file manager app or the carussel wallpaper app - the apps tell you in case of withdrawn consent the app would not work. But they still do! You leave the app and directly restart it, then it runs!
To limit the Xiaomi homecalling I use apps to block the outgoing connections selectivly...really good so far. I recommend apps like "Blokada" and alike whitch open a virtual VPN on your device, in which you can massivly filter whatever you want. Not only saves battery, it speeds the device up and of course gets you a little bit of trust back in your decvice - but not in Xiaomi.
Hope I could help you. Bye.
Update 02-13-2022:
Nope. Files still disappearing. Trying Total Commander update with new write permissions, hope it helps....
Update 10-04-2022:
At last....Files are not disappearing. I updatet Total Commander and received Updates from Xiaomi. Additionaly I configured the "Security" app as mentioned in the post above.
Thanks so far.
