It would be weekend here... and I should find some other site to spend time

Any chance we get a new theme (Board Style) to go with the upgrade :wink:

Yes, anything but phpBB. I am willing to help with the forum script, pretty familiar with all of them if you need asistance.

Yay, finally vBuillentin is coming!
(it is vB, right? though IPB2 aint bad either)

Hi Guys,
Yes it's vBulletin and we haven't made any major changes
Thanks for all the support we get!
Greetz,
Flar

Really great news.
I really appreciate what U guys&girls are doing here.
Hope the change will go easily.

aghhh im fed up with server migration. Ive just had to change servers at work and ive had to restore over 30 accounts and its been a right ordeal! At least new server is lightening fast though.
If you guys would have said then you could have come on to my server!

Yay.

Been there, done that.
Well, GL with the migration. :shock: See you on the other side.

take it were on the otherside now, looks fresh

Server migration successful...THANKS
The newest version of the XDA forums looks great, but even more importantly...it's fast & adds some cool features.
Your efforts are greatly appreciated! I cannot think of ANY forum migration in recent memory, handled so efficiently. Well done.

Aye good job guys. Looks good.

new look!
nice one flar!
<<jojo>>

nice one! new site looks great! fast too!!!
hopefully we don't get those pesky double emails now...

Has anyone tried Skyfire? ITs apparently in private beta (new browser)

Has anyone tried Skyfire? ITs apparently in private beta (new browser)..

looks pretty nice, but you have to signup for the beta and download it (invite etc)
cj

not exactly private
it looks like you need a code when you go to the site but its not required. Im gona try it on my tilt..hopefully its a winner!

Here's an active Thread in the General forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=363205

Good luck =) That code you enter in you'll get in a text message after you have signed up for the Beta. (which btw, no one here has gotten the code yet).

I got it tonight, posted it on the kaiser forum to share.
here it is.
By the way try netfront 3.5, it's good too.

Works on 8525
Works fine on my 8525. Took about two minutes to get up and running from the time I got the text until I downloaded and installed. Pages load very fast. YouTube works. Getting used to the zoom feature is a little different, but after just a few minutes of use, I like it.

MercuryTYTN and Visini: do you guys happen to remember around the time that you signed up for the beta? I'm wondering how far behind I am in the queue having signed up on Jan 29.

Alot of us signed up on the 28th and still have not received an invite, so no they did not forget you. It's first come first serve, alot of people signed up early on the 28th so they are getting to those people first.

Pointui Website Down

Hey, i try to go to the Pointui website, but it just loads forever, no progress. Maybe their updating their page, maybe giving us a new pointui update!!!
I'm not sure if you guys can get on, but, just respond and tell me if u can or cant!
(I hope its a new update. that will be so cool!!!)

works for me.

Can access the main website but the forums are dead...

I can't even get to the main website. Keeping my fingers crossed for an update, perhaps they are simply too incompetent to publish an update without bringing the site down We can always hope can't we?

UPDATE: I can load it now. It's the same as always. It looks like they have temporary network problems, so don't hold your breath for an update

I can't access either the main site or the forums site.

I didn't know they were still working on this UI! Last time I logged on, it was a dead forum except for a few straglers....

i was on there yesterday, now the site won't work for me...

Site is working today, 4/10/08 for me. looks like it should be working for everyone.
No new updates to their program sadly.

Yeah its working, i think they have changes there hostings coz it is loading quite fast now.

okay, it works again... but why should we care anymore... i believed that there would be something new coming, but now it seems that PointUI will share SCLPC's Fate as there has not been a new version out of that one either.
Guess it doesn't pay off to do something for free for the community.

yea this sucks. i want something new and fresh and cool for my phone. Anyone have any ideas on something. I've used iPhone themes before, tried the S2U2 things, used the Cube, used Pointui, used Spb Software. Anyone got any ideas on something cool for our phones????

There is a response from one of the developers today in the Support and Bug fixes forum.....

Forgive the multuple posts.....
PointUI is alive http://www.pointui.com/home.aspx
ans it looks f%^*kin awesome....

Wee. Let's revive. PointUi is dead. Getting nowhere >.> I so want the new pointui it looks slick!

It would just be nice if their forums actually were accessible half of the time... It's usually down it seems.

New MMORPG in Beta

I searched the forums for anything like this and couldn't find anything so I am starting a new topic.
I came across a new Android game that is under beta testing called Runes-MMORPG and from what I have seen, it looks really neat. They need tons of testers and people that will report bugs in the forums.
You need to register in the main site and register in the forums. Note: They ask for a lot of information like your home address; no SSN though After you register in the main site, they will email you some instructions and a link to download their Runes.apk file.
Here's the link to their site:
http://www.runes-mmorpg.com/
Here's a link to sign up to the site and be able to play:
Registration Page
I, unfortunately, can't play it myself because I have a TP2 and the Android port for it is still under development, but I still want to know what you guys think.
Let me know!

How long did it take you to write it? Started in April? That's pretty decent time.

I just found out about it like 3 days ago. Too bad I can't try it out any time soon.

watched the video on the site...doesnt seem too exciting anyone play it yet?

I'm registered and downloaded/installed the game a couple of weeks ago, though I haven't really messed with it much.
I found it a tad confusing, so I need to read up on it to better understand what's expected of me.
Anyone else have tips/advice/suggestions?

I very much share the same opinions, Installed it a few weeks ago but stopped playing it for a while because I was a bit confused ons ome aspects..
in the official website last time i checked, FAQ isnt working yet,,
no online manuals/game guide can be found
in the map view, it doesnt show where you currently are..so I cant remember (or maybe im missing something?)
in the spellbook it deosnt clearly say what spells you already have and what you still need to unlock..
i cant explain it that much now, since I stopped playing but the UI seem to take time learning..anwyay, Im not uninstalling yet since this app looks promising..

im in, playing now.. not quite what i was hoping for. going to remove, was hoping will be more 3D action like runescape kinda game.
i beleive it has potential though.

PadKite™ : The first multitouch mobile mouse.

Hi xda-developers,
We are about to launch PadKite in the Android market and we are currently collecting feedback from real users. Beta version now available for download at padkite web-page. As a new user we are not allowed to post links, please let us know your feedback on the application. You can also subscribe to our Beta Program. We are eager to hear your opinion.
PadKite is also an excellent app for tablets so we are also looking for people to test it on their tablets. Whether your multitouch device is a phone or tablet. Your feedback is very important to us. For any questions, please reply to this post or contact us at PadKite Contact us.
More about PadKite™: PadKite™ is the first multi-touch mobile mouse created to manage the tiny content on our cellphone screens. Never fumble or miss a target again. Breeze through favorite websites in a flash with customizable multitouch gestures. Post media and text to Facebook, Twitter, and blogs, all at the swoop of a fingertip.

Wow! This looks like an awesome tool!
There's only Éclair and Froyo versions available though, I'm running custom Gingerbread on my N1.
I tried running the Froyo version on my N1 anyway, but it Force Closes as soon as trying to open the app.
Any ETA on a Gingerbread version? I'm quite eager to try your product!

They said a GB compatible copy will be along soon.

I really wanted to try it but it force closes on me.
Always wanted to tryout multi-touch...
nice stealth edit trololol...

Sounds interesting, I'll check it out.

They included the complete libwebcore.so in there effectively including a complete web browser in their so called mouse driver. What up with that?

Just sitting and clapping my hands :]
looks wonderfulll .. Did anyone try it already ? does it seem safe and real?
btw: So I've understood that it is a browser like dolphin and others. .. does it include Flash? (btw does it have hebrew as other browsers?)

Hi xda-developers,
Hope you are enjoying flying the web with PadKite, the first multitouch mobile mouse.
Yes, it is a web browser. It includes extended Webkit libraries that makes it heavier. Hopefully these will be able to be submitted into the WebKit build on the near future. The application does not include Flash for the moment and does not run on top of the OS or other applications. As a new concept we are starting small running as a stand alone browser aiming to grow bigger. We are braking the mold on multi-touch interaction and that has to be gradually. As you might have notized it has a lot of potential.
Currently we are making adjustments in order to run in all versions. This requires a lot of effort however it will allow PadKite to run in almost all devices. If you want to run on a Gingerbread version, let us know via our contact form and it will be delivered shortly.
Some users have experienced problems with Android versions of FRG83D and FRG83. We are currently looking into this and we will come up with a solution shortly. If you have problems, running PadKite on your Froyo, please contact us via our contact form too or join our beta program. We need as much information as possible from our users (especially your Logcat). Also, take part in our beta program and you will be the first to get updated on new versions.
Please follow PadKite on Twitter and get up-to-date info on new builds at padkite account.
Thanks for helping us make PadKite even better!
Cheers,
Jose Vigil
RoamTouch CEO

looks great, I'm looking forward to trying it when its available for Gingerbread.. also it would be great to get the adobe flash integration working.. But looks like a great concept, original and useful.

Bumping this, as it is a clear winner as a productivity tool, but so few people seem to have heard about it. I'm a huge fan, and that's based on only having seen the videos, as well as it partially working on a mate's Xperia X8 (the X8 lacks multi-touch, so is unable to take advantage of some of the more powerful features, such as text-selection via second finger-rotation, although as a pointer it works perfectly)!
Hoping they get back to me soon with an offer into the Beta program, as I'm dying to get this app! Also hoping they take it further, and fast, so that it becomes an integral Android feature, rather than just a browser tool.
This is a game-changer, people, so get on board and bring your family and friends!

Don't hold your breath on this one buddy. I gave up. I recieved 6 APK's from the dev...not one of the worked. FC every time. I was working on it with him for quite a time, and it never worked. Seems to only work on one or two phones.

Won't be holding my breath, but certainly won't be abandoning hope! If those who have been able to get it working could post details of which model phones they have, as well as the models that haven't worked, plus current Android version, the devs might be able to narrow the issue down. Not sure if I'm able to start a new thread, being a noob and all, so if people could list the following in this thread it would go a long way towards getting us what we want:
Phone model
Android version (stock or rooted)
Whether it worked or not, and if not, at what stage it crashed, plus any further comments.

Send the dev any info you like...it didn't help. I was in contact with him for a few weeks. I don't 'abandon hope' unless it's time to abandon it. After emailing back and forth for a few weeks, then not hearing back from the dev for the last 3 months, I would say it's abandonment time.

You do what you want, and I'll do what I want, and never the twain shall meet.

Well thank you SO much for your diplomacy. You must be new here. I was just sharing my findings. Did you even notice the last post before you necro'd this crappy app...was from Feb??? There is a reason for that.
Good luck with getting things figured out around here.

Crappy app, perhaps, but only in terms of its failing to work for most who've tried it thus far. The idea itself is a brilliant one, I believe!

95% of brilliance is implementation.
I can think of a bazillion good app ideas...but making them actually work is where the real skill is. I am upset with padkite because they seem to have spent all this time on making a website and sharing the idea...then they spent 2 minutes actually BUILDING the app...and it's garbage.

This looks fantastic. I downloaded and try to join beta program, to improve your software.
And 14mb is nothing, nowdays phones have 1gb or so of ROM space. Or move it to SD card.

Are you suggesting that they faked the videos of padKite working on the Motorola (Droid?) phone? Because unless they did indeed fake the videos, then they had the app working on at least one phone! Obviously more than 2 minutes were spent, and I'm guessing the problem to be overcome is actually a rather minor yet befuddling one.
As stated earlier, I've seen padKite partially working on a mate's Xperia X8, so we aren't talking vaporware, here. Please, Mean Mr Mustard, change your heart and let hope in, and encourage others to do the same, instead of working against what you've already acknowledged is something good enough to upset you by virtue of not working for you.
There must be some out there who've been able to get padKite at least partially working. Chime in, fellows, and let's make this fairy well again!
