Kaiser support for Device Update.

Hi all,
After finishing off v2 of Device Update for the Hermes, I'm looking at making it more compatible with other devices. The next on my list is the Kaiser
Could I get a few people to message me to try a new version of Device Update that should work correctly (and not show Hermes only apps) on the Kaiser.
For those wondering what Device Update is, check out:

and
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=470440
Thanks.
EDIT: I've had someone test it on Kaiser and all should be well...
That being said, I've attached v2.0.7.8 to this post for all of you to test

Havent heard of it till now, but looks great. Bring it on! (to the kaiser I mean )
Also what makes this much different than App2Date? (asking because I know someone will at some point)

Lots.
#1 - I do the hosting for your apps. I've served nearly 800 apps in the last 6 hours or so.
#2 - People can browse the index of software.
#3 - Automatic updates is only a side effect - but a major bonus.
#4 - Custom written geo-location based mirroring gives the user the fastest speeds no matter where they are on the planet
#5 - everything between the servers & clients is compressed - this means faster transfers and less data transfer.
And there's probably more

So when is this going to be avail?????

Nice one mate.
Count me in for a bit of testing
Feel free to shout me for anything you need.
Thanks

Mate! I didn't know you had a Kaiser...
The build is just about ready, I'm just putting some final touches on it today. I should have something for you guys in about 5 hours or so...
I'll send you both a build via PM to test...

I am more than interested in testing this! Awesome work, friend.

I'm here if you need another tester

For those interested, I've attached a copy of v2.0.7.8 as a beta test on the Kaiser.
In theory all should work. If not, please reply to this thread.
Thanks

Awesome - good to hear.
I'm in the middle of writing some documents for ROM cooks and developers on how everything works within DU so it can be included in peoples ROMs and also how people can make their CABs DU compatible...
Hopefully I'll be able to get something finalised real soon. DU has pretty much become standard in all ROMs for Hermes

works like a champ on my tilt....Great job on this app! Does this also tell what you already have installed and can update that?

Yes and no. All packages installed via DeviceUpdate will show if an update is available. You will see this as a category up the top labeled "Available Updates". We don't however have a way of tracking if an application is installed from another source - as we use registry entries to track packages.
This means it is possible to see an app on the Device Update index that is already installed from a different source. At the moment, we leave this up to the user to detect.

thanks for the response. You did a great job on this app!

Only thing i cant figure out is where the themes go when i download them...or are they not m2d themes? Only one i downloaded was the flat black theme and for the life of me i cant find it. I just got it to test that it worked as well. Ive already got over 20 themes so i dont need it But i even used the search on the phone and cant find it.

The themes are standard Windows Mobile themes - not M2D themes.

Ok cool. Im sure thats why it didnt work then. So i cant find any bugs. Great job. If you want you can pull the themes from my 4shared folder. They are all m2d

Fantastic application.
I was using this in my HTC Touch (ELF) before.
I just bought a Kaiser (TYTN II) and installed the latest Device Update into it.
Tried installing "HTC Home Customizer" and a few other apps but evertime get a error "WCELoad Returned Code: 2147024891".
What is this error code and how can i fix it and let Device Update install apps in my Kaiser.

This covers the HTC5800, yeah?

What can I do with this phone other then what it does out of the box?
Theres so little information and work I can find on it.

hey buddy,
there isnt alot of things that can be done with the phone right now.. which company do u have it from?
the first would be App Unlock your phone to be able to install applications .. jsut search on google "app unlock S620" and follow that procedure...
I have a wm6.0 running so i have a couple of skins and stuff installed... most of the stuff that can work on the Vox Forums can work on libra as well. besides the roms ofcourse.
if you got any other questions holla for sure... i know it was a pain for me to find any information on the phone!

surprised me too! the poor phone still doesn't have enough ram and is missing wifi, otherwise it would be perfect.

I just picked up one of these phones yesterday and am still getting used to not having a touch screen. If I'm not mistaken this phone does have the GPS. What's the process for getting it to work with Google Maps, etc?
Thanks

no this phone doesnt have gps....
it has the processor which is needed to have gps... but apparently it doesnt work with any company...
iv looked around for a fix .. but no one has found out one...
and 5800 doesnt have wifi built in either

New swype beta

Does anyone know if the new swype beta is compatable with the eris? Trying to find it for my wife and have had no luck.

I found this over on the android forums.
This should work for you.
It has been working for me with Sense-able Rom 3.1

Thanks for the upload, worked like a charm.

Hey guys I'm really having a hard time making double letters in this new version, it just doesn't seem to work. Old one worked fine before it expired. Any ideas??

I just tried some words with double letters and like Vince its not working well.
after playing around with it for a few found that it seems like the program is not tracking correctly. I have tried the Speed VS Accuracy and it didn't help much if any. I my have to give shapewriter a shot.

So, what you need to do is go into your settings>Language & Keyboard and make sure the box next to Swype is checked. If there is no box there, then the install did not work right. Once you have the box checked, then go into a program that you would be able to type something (text, email, browser, etc) and long press in the box you want to type in. It will come up with some options like copy/paste/input selection. You'll want to choose input selection and then you should be able to choose Swype as your go to keyboard. Hope this helps...

Just thought I'd pop in here and say that if you go to beta.swype.com, you can get into the public beta for the next couple days. This'll let you get the actual current updates.

It's because they haven't released it yet. They have several BETA versions that they're testing. This is why you can't find it on the market. There is ONE version out there with a license that won't give you a "trial period ended" error, but few have it. This is for testing purposes, though it may be annoying for you and others, this is what will make it such great app, extensive testing. It should be soon...looks like they've almost got it nailed down.
FWIW, none of us are even supposed to have this app...be thankful you've gotten to play with it.

I have swype with a license that won't expire. I downloaded it from another thread in the eris forums. Awesome app.

xbox live issues hd7

Does anyone else have problems with Xbox live crashing? Has anyone else had this issue more important has anyone got it working?

If you mean the XBOX Live Extras app then yeah, it crashes when it starts. And from what I've read on the reviews part of the marketplace, everybody is having that problem.
The actual XBOX Live Hub though works just fine.

exact same here, even though i did get it working for all of 10 seconds the extras bit, then it crashed on me. just glad im not the only one having the problem

Same for me too
XBOX Live Hub works and played a game , but the XBOX Live Extras app will not work one bit , justs starts to load goes black and back to home screen .....
Any news on a fix for this ?
I have the HTC HD7 ..........

By the looks off it it only the HTC it not working on
Do u think we will get a fix or not ?

Should Help

Xbox live extra is not on the marketplace now and if u click on the link in xbox live u cannot download or share it .. {Hope this is a sign it is being fixed }

Not a great start, especially as it's a specific problem to the HD7. I wonder in what other ways the HD7 is different and if this problem will occur for other apps.
Also i'm not too happy in the way Europe is being used as a glorified beta test for America. We get to deal with all the immediate problems..

If he's only had his phone for a day or so, he won't see it. Seems the XBL extra app was pulled to be fixed, at least on the HTC's.

was just mentioning why his Live wasn't crashing like the rest of us... oh wait I reset my phone so I've not got it either lol oh well it'll reappear working hopefully, and has HTC updated 6 of their apps already?

I hope I was the beta user... I dont mind dealing with initial issues but be the first one to have new phone availability.
I need to buy my phones in Europe and ship them to Mexico because if I wait for Mexican companies to introduce them I will wait a year and will pay double the price (we have the worst Phone companies).

Skype video from Thunderbolt on Atrix (request)

Thunderbolt's version of Skype WITH VIDEO is now available.

It won't directly install for some reason (some how locked to the Thunderbolt?)
Would be real nice on the Atrix. Wish I could help more, but I'm just a dummy.
Thank you all very much. I bow to all your great feats.

This is an app, not a development thread. It should go in the Themes and Apps section.

i took a quick look... it appears that it would not be an easy & quick fix / rebuild i dont think, the entire program is written to use and be depended on <uses-library android:name="com.htc.device" />... before taking on this project id wait out as skype said that att was suppose to get releases of its video call first so id think we cant be to far behind

For anyone interested, here is the deodexed apk decoded and built with apk-tool.
Note: This cannot be installed yet.

it doesn't work because it was not made for this phone. even if it did install, it wouldn't work with our camera because moto uses its own camera driver since froyo doesn't have one (gingerbread will). htc uses its own FFC driver as well.

Because they contain drivers for all the phones they know of with FFCs I would bet.

Could it be that because att doesn't have 4g yet, Skype is holding out?

Probably right. Here is Motorola's API:
http://developer.motorola.com/docstools/library/motorola-front-facing-camera-api/

It is so frustrating that using the same system (android) and also having a front camera but we cannot use the same app (skype with video).

yup but that was specifically develpoed for the thunderbolt, I assume if it does get officially launched with it, it will be a matter of time before that spreads to being on other devices (much like when they launched skype in the first place on android) the key question is will they fix the sound issues that moto's config gives these voip programs.

as I learned in the (otherwise useless) motorola atrix dev conference, the FFC driver for the atrix is written BY motorola. Android 2.2 does NOT have a standard FFC driver and so every phone that has an FFC and is running 2.1 or 2.2 is using their own FFC driver. That is why Tango and Qik did not work for the Atrix immediately when it was released, and Qik had to release an Atrix-only version of the app.
When gingerbread comes across all devices, it will have a standard FFC driver. But until then, every company running 2.2 uses their own and that is why these aren't compatible apps.

More than likely, it's because AT&T didn't want Skype to release it yet.. the carriers have a surprising amount of influence on app developers. Think of how the Inspire and Atrix still don't have HSUPA enabled whereas the iPhone 4 has had it since its release. My guess is they don't want to overload their already fragile network
