Updating Paid apps to 2.2...

How would I go about updating my paid apps so they work with 2.2? Is it as easy as just recompiling them with the 2.2 SDK? Or do I need the apps source etc. I am tired of waiting on some devs to update apps 4 weeks later...

Any kind of hope for an answer? I am talking about my own apps i have bought and i don't plan on sharing. Just would like some help. Google didn't turn up much.

why would you have to update apps you purchased? the developers update them, and most of them have already since 2.2 has been out for the n1 for a while now.

Not my nexusmod live wallpaper... its been 4 weeks and not one update to it. I wanna update it myself. Cause i own it and i can...i just don't know how.

not sure what you're doing wrong but I see it in the market for me? is this not the same app? did you run the market fix for the froyo leak that's in the dev section?

Um did i say anything about it not being in the market? It fcs when i try to use it with froyo.

aren't all those LWP's included in CM6? I would imagine you could just install the livewallpaper.apk from it and you'll have them.

it has nothing to do with the livewallpaper.apk... it's not coded for froyo. maybe a livewallpaper.apk from a 2.1 will 'patch it' but i dunno.
and it didnt' work in cm6 either, btw.

I need a good app dev. Its customizable nexus like wallpaper except you can customize it a pretty good amount which is why i bought it. Way better then stock .apks. i might ask stericson.

[Q] Blackhole Build-your-own-ROM for Thunderbolt: Any interest?

I am posting this to see if any of you thunderbolt users would be interested in another, different idea of a custom rom for this phone.
The Blackhole Build-Your-Own-Rom series is a ROM I created, first for the Samsung Fascinate, which is based on the same idea as the Droidmod custom rom for the Motorola Droid. The premise is that you have a base ROM, which has been stripped of all but the very core programs, and you choose to add back only what you want. This combines the ideas of a clean/debloated ROM, and allows you to choose what versions of various apps you prefer to have. Choose from stock apps, mods, market apps, kernels, etc. and you'll be up and going without having to remove what you don't want from a "One size fits all" ROM.
I do typically provide a standalone flashable version for easy grab and go flashing, and in that case it's a super stripped down stock rom, with a few usability mods included in most cases. I'll be releasing the ROM in both ROM Manager, and the Android Customization Suite. If you have any questions, comments or suggestings anyone can feel free to contact me at [email protected].
If anyone wants more details, or would be interested in donating to help cover the cost of the phone check out the post at androiddoes.net http://goo.gl/r4Yi9

That would be pretty sweet.. new to the android scene and I gotta say theres a lot of roms/kernels, some have great features, then something added/removed I don't like, could of course always add/remove something but this is a good idea. If you are able to add kernels as well, along with sense/senseless would be good. I say do it up.

Sounds great! I will certainly be downloading it. Thanks!

Thank you for your comments guys, keep 'em comming.

yea this would be awesome. i think i saw this mod on my wifes fascinate and heard good things about it.

LOVE IT!!!! very interested in this!!!!

Great, thanks for the positive feedback guys. I just picked up my Tbolt from the VZW store, and as soon as I figure out how to use it I'll get started =)

Yes, I would also love to see a grab, populate and go rom >> GPG ROM <<< thanks.

I would definitely dig this.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App

I'm definitely interested in this

I loved your rom on the fascinate, great to see you start work on the TB

I've had blackhole running when I had my Fascinate and v4.3 currently on my GF's fascinate so I'd love to have it ported over on my TBolt!

I would love to have a Terminal type "toolbox" like ApeX... Nothing would be better than to add what Sense I want like I could with Blur.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App

Definitely interested!

You might recognize my name, but I used to run it on the fascinate. I like it, I don't like themed markets and stuff, and with backhole I can chose what apps I want bundled with it, it just makes it really convenient to me when I can do that all in rom manager.

I remember sonofskywalker3 bringing the Blackhole rom project to the Vibrant and the sheer magnitude of the project on the Fascinate. I'm excited to see the possibility of bringing this to the Thunderbolt.

Thanks alot for all your interest guys. I'll have a forum up at Androiddoes.net soon with the details and info for people who would like to beta test. I'll post a link when it's up. And it's good to see some familiar faces in here: ilogik, ignitros, destroyerbmx... what issues did you guys have when switching from Fascinate to Tbolt? I'm having a heck of a time finding the power button =)

Yea it took a while to get used to but apparently the power button sinks over time... Mine used to stick out but now is flush with the case.

I was more talking about it being on top instead of the side
But it does seem pretty low to the case, still works fine tho.

Yes! Definitely interested!

Superuser 3 Beta

Ok so I am a user of the superuser elite app and it just came out with some features. Before it was pretty much donating and the app didn't do anything... if you read the discription you will see that it says something like 'features only available with superuser 3 beta, good luck finding it'
Well I found it, its not that hard just google it and I found this
EDIT: i installed the apk and it updated the su, really cool stuff actually. I'm not sure what it has done other then a cool UI for the superuser app.
Screenshots in attachments...

Will someone test this out, is it just a apk of the new superuser? Can it do any harm? There has been some post about it in the Atrix and Thunderbolt forums but I want to see some testing with the Shift.
thanks

You can download Beta3 through the SU Elite app if you're presistant

I didn't add ANYTHING to this rom, i just combined a stock CyanogenMod7 and Destroyer. Which means it was in one of those.

Im just trying to look out for you, it shows adw ex in the video so i figured id let you know before it gets locked

so far no google apps on phone, i cant setup a google account, market will not open, there are paid apps if the screen gets locked while the camera is on it needs a battery pull to bring it back, FM radio force closes.

I'm pretty sure you get the google apps from either rom manager or go the kush deck's thread in the evo development section and he has gapps w/ sprint vvm as well as regular gapps... I'm pretty sure its a, we aren't supposed to include the gapps but its not a huge issue if you include them, situation... Rom looks pretty cool from the video... I'm gonna give it a couple days to see if we can get the fc's figured out... Thanks for the hard work! Good to see fresh stuff popping up!

duh it is aosp huh, but not even letting me sign into google account, and im on cwm 3.1.0.1 and refuse to flash anything else so ill never be able to flash from cwm no browser so this is beta for sure

I said I was going to try this for a day but I could not get it working and I had a few personal issues
My review:
This is my little review
First off I want to say I had a major problem with the fact that there was warez everywhere in this rom. ADW EX, Root Explorer, and launcher pro plus where what I came across in the little time.
I think the moderators need to close this thread until it gets taken care of.
Besides that the ROM, well I couldn't even get it set up. Rom manager was outdated but couldn't update it in market because it would f/c so I could not flash gapps from rom manager constant browser f/c so I couldn't dl a gapps flashable (my computer is out) so I couldn't really use the rom fully
As for my impressions it looks like straight cm7 with a few warez apps and a couple fonts and a some animation changer that I didn't try but in previews looked cool
All in all I would call this ROM unstable and unusable for right now. Needs work. And I know you said you didnt add anything but these pay-for apps need to leave the ROM
I know this may sound harsh but it's only to make the ROM better. I hope you take what I have to say into consideration

I went checked out the original rom for the evo and it has all the warez apps in it. So he was being honest. I think that one should be locked as well, until those apps can be removed.

Idk, it seems really cool to have some of those paid apps built in... I know for one I Wouldn't mind the rom being built around apps I already use or want to use.

Link is down because paid apps are included in this ro and this goes against xda rules.
In the meantime that OP will fix the rom, this thread is closed, OP pm me when you have fixed it.

Thread Re-opened, OP fixed the rom deleting the paid apps.
I have to say that he didn't on purpose, he used the other source rom (under investigation) and in good faith he didn't check it, well i say that sometimes it could happen, anyway, i asked him to remove the paid apps that i've found, if someone think that there are some others, please, pm me or OP so he can fix it.
Thanks all for cooperation and thanks to OP.

My apologies, I'm not one to rip off someone who put time into their development and (rightfully so) decides to collect some money for their time and IP.
As for the other issues people have had, I can't seem to replicate them. I'll be back around my fiance's shift in the next few days and see what other issues she's had since using it everyday. Hopefully can eliminate them if I can repeat them.

Yea i get it you were just porting the rom that already had the warez in there.
Sorry if in my post I made the fustration pointed at you that wasn't my intention lol.
If i remember my problem was getting GAPPS to download. there was no way for me to do it.
I had tried ROM manager to flash GAPPS and that wouldnt work because it said ROM manager was an "outdated" version.
So i tried to go to the market and that would F/C "which made me need gapps more" and then the browser would force close so i couldnt actually download a flashable zip for GAPPS. So i could never actually get it set up.
Hope that helps.
For me it was just a few different problems that ended up all coming together

Whenever I flashed it and linked my Google account, it popped a prompt asking if I wanted to download gapps and then popped a list of them for me to select from.

When I get my Internet back up and running I will try this rom. And thank you for being honest and removing the warez, even though you didn't put them in. I had a feeling it was an honest mistake

Not an ASOP guy, by any means. But glad to see someone else doing Dev work for the Shift . Just have to watch where you get your resources in the future . But KUDOS on the rom.

any more work on this rom being done?

I'm sorry I haven't had the time to give this the proper attention it deserves. I hope to sit down after my vacation and go through this and really tear it down, hopefully figure out some of the issues and add some features. Will be changing the name as well to not be associated with the blatant piracy.

Anyone looked at the Grid10 Tablet?

Has anyone seen the Grid10 tablet? it looks pretty good. Check it out here

I don't foresee any tablet having a specific advantage over my phone/PC combo any time soon, so I can't say I'm interested in purchasing one, but I really am impressed by the Grid10. I hope it does well, it looks sweet.

Looks sweet
I read about it before, I really would like to get a hands on with it and check out the user interface, it seems like a whole new idea. It is a very intuitive idea, but like a lot of things, we will see if it actually turns out as cool as they intended

The fact that the OS is based on android is pretty cool. I'd like to see what devs could do with it
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App

only based on the android kernel though right, I think the UI is all it's own

true but it still looks like devs could do some great stuff

Got the "Fusion Garage" Grid10 10/13/2011
After update it became very fast and responcive, side loaded "google maps, Samurai 2, and Netflix", so far "Netflix (tried 7 diffrent APK's) is the only APK the does not work well, it kinda works but the video does not load, also I could not get the the "Android Market" to work tries 2 different APK's. I am thinking I will have to spoof the device ID, using the Astro. They still have a Gmail bug, should be fixed soon, just a token issue.
So that's my 411

I cant decide between the Xoom or this. Im leaning xoom
