Join the "Update My Moto" campaign! - Android General

​
In 2012 Motorola announced she would upgrade our devices, Atrix and Photon, to Ice Cream Sandwich in Q3. As you all know, they have changed their stance, leaving us with an outdated version of Android to play with. Our devices can easily run even the last version of Android, Jelly Bean, so why the update was canceled for us?
With the Update My Moto! campaign, we are asking for a leak of what was been done before they canceled the update or a compatible Tegra 2 kernel for Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean. With these files, XDA developers can fix the problems themselves, while Motorola can make up for this mistake they made.
You can help us to achieve that. Share this campaign in your blog, social network, show it to your friends or file a BBB complaint. Let's grab Motorola's attention!

Petition: Fring for Android

Hi there,
I wonder why there is no fring for android. There is a big thread in their forums:
http://www.fring.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8336
(unfortunatly the Blackberry thread is bigger :ugly)
Maybe the dont get enough feedbacK from the android community?! So what do you xda-developer members with an android device think about an online petition?
Alternativly you can hammer their "Your handset is not supported ... yet." form:
http://reg.fring.com/app/newhandset... your Email Addres&country=Enter Your Country
You probably have to choose the G1 because its the only Android phone in the list...
Hi There,
Omri from fring here.
We are working on the Android version. It takes time but I can promise you that this version is worth the wait...
Re: Blackberry
Unfortunately it is not possible to develop an application that will play and record audio at the same time on the Blackberry platform, that's the main reason for the lack of a Blackberry version.
I will add a few more Android devices to the waiting list so you can leave your email and we will let you know once it's out.
You can also follow us on twitter for the latest news (@fring) or subscribe to our blog www.fring.com/blog
I'll be around so if you have any questions I'll be happy to assist.
Have a great day.

Hi Omri,
thank you for your answer. Happy to hear that you guys are onto it. I hope that it is going to be a full version, not crap like skype lite (no voice chat) or any other im app for android (which unfortunatly are all not satisfying, regarding function and quality).
Thanks again...

Thanks for the reply... been waiting for this for a while. Would be interesting to find out the time scale of this!

Apploaders, the developer community of Telecom Italia

Hi everybody!
A friend of mine told me about a new ongoing initiative from an Italian Operator, Telecom Italia, which is starting their Developer Community. The apps will be (I guess) published on their multi-os Appstore (Tim Appstore). It seems that more than apps, the Community is focusing on Opera Widgets which runs on "Tim Apps" Client.
I have googled and I have found the following: apploaders dot telecomitalia dot it
It seems like a pre-opening or something like that...
I am an xda-developer fan, so I decided to open this thread to give the news, hope I have given a good news at least for Italian Developers.
Thanks and my congrats for the great Forum!

Looking for Android Beta Testers - Please Participate!

Hello everybody and thank you for your interest in Beta testing my Android application. My app is called PulseLA and I am attempting to create a social media application that ranks people, food, movies, cars, etc…. for people to share what they love, hate, and always wanted to do… I have not tested this application on many devices and for some this app is getting (sort of smooth) and for others it’s a total disaster! I was hoping to get maybe a group of interested individuals to join my beta team for PulseLA. You do not need to reside in California or Los Angeles to use this app. But I do have more data centralized in L.A. in opposition to the rest of the United States.
Please contact me via E-mail or through this forum and I will send you an APK for install. I would greatly appreciate all comments, suggestions, and questions for further clarification and analysis.
My E-mail – [email protected]
Facebook Fanpage - http://www.facebook.com/PulseCaster
This app is currently on iPhone if you have two phones or an itouch and would like to see a live alpha version of my app. Please search for “PulseLA”. I have not done SEO modifications so you must spell “PulseLA” exact without spaces or you can do a search for “Pulsecaster”.
Thank you everybody!
Here is a direct link to download PulseLA
Thanks for the initial help. I have gone back to development! I will post back a link in the future.
If anybody is curious about how development is going then feel free to PM me or E-mail me. [email protected]
ehm, can i test this ?
got a tab to try it out on
Hi will try it
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Thanks. Sent Pm's with a link to download PulseLA.
If it will be easier I can send it to your e-mail so you can access the APK directly on your Phone/Tablet.
I'll test this out.
Sent from my Droid Incredible using xda premium
Installing now on my AT&T One X
EDIT:
Getting a white screen, when clicking on other tabs the loading animation plays but nothing happens. Clicking camera tab brings up 'create account' page. Notice a flashing 'camera roll' screen before creating account shows. Very iPhone-ish. Star = Favs? Finally loaded. Most of the other tabs don't. Just a lil advise, try to make the app as Android-ish as possible. A lot people hate, hate, hate direct iPhone ports to Android. At least have some sort of ICS elements in it.
P.S. Didnt sign-up.
This is actually the build for android and was not meant to be iPhone ish =[ However, we do need to go back in and redesign the app for better interface. Are there any apps that you think would be a good idea for me to look at to get a better idea of Android interfaces?
In the future the first tab which is feed will not be clickable as it is based on followers. Because you did not sign up for an account it will obviously be empty =] Upon signing up for an account you will randomly follow 5 people.
Loading the Star the first time is very slow. It will go faster on a wifi connection.
The star is a global ranking based on the top categories. If you were to click the Camera button then you could add things your opinion on just about anything based on the categories. *Note these are not working perfect and search is almost useless at this point. So you should be able to look up under category (things) movies, phones, brand names, food, etc...
So far thank you all for initial testing. What I really need some feedback on is whether or not facebook connect works as I've had a lot of problems at this front. Also if you are able to submit a camera pulse (In the app Camera Tab -> Use Camera) as some devices this crashes the app.

Galaxy on Fire 2 - SuperNova - Request from XP Users

Supernova is an additional add-on not available apparently for android devices yet. I have gone ahead and emailed Fishlabs
- Apparently you have to go through their own email system now as I got an auto generated reply informing me to go here:
http://support.fishlabs.net/
to send them an email.
I asked if they would please continue to support our device as I have thoroughly enjoyed this game. I would like to encourage all xperia PLAY users to just take 30 seconds to email fishlabs at the above address and ask them to please continue supporting our phone with the future release of Galaxy on Fire 2 - Supernova.
Your welcome to just copy and paste what I sent to them but if I were a fishlabs rep reading the same email over and over from different addresses I would think it was either spam or not a sincere email. As I said your welcome to use my email but I feel it would make a more powerful message if everyone just asked that they continue supporting this device.
My email:
"Hello,
I would like to know if there are any plans to support the Xperia PLAY for the GOF add-on SuperNova? I am a big fan of the series and have greatly enjoyed it on my Xperia PLAY and would love to see it released to this phone and to all android devices. Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,

Edit - For those curious here is the official trailer for Supernova

edit : i also created a new ticket with the request , it's seems that's their new request method
sorry

Ah...bummer. can't say I'm surprised but it would be cool if we got it. I have not received a reply yet. Not doubting you but still hopeful we may be able to have them reconsider. Even if its a paid game I would jump on it.

*holds up Nook HD+ * I'll be ready lol...just have to find the non XP version of GoF.
Got another reply from FishLabs regarding the Xperia PLAY:
"Hello Jesse,
my name's Tobi and I'm a Senior Social Media Manager at Fishlabs. I'm filling in for Sven today and I'm happy to help you out and answer your question.
Right now, it is not planned to support the special controls of the Xperia PLAY right from the start. However, depending on how successful the app performs on Google PLAY, there's of course still a chance that we'll add such an optimization later on. So fingers crossed...
If you've got any more questions, feel free to ask 'em right away.
All the best,
Tobi
We hope this response has sufficiently answered your questions. If not, please do not send another email. Instead, reply to this email or login to your account for a complete archive of all your support request and responses.

***** So everyone pay for the IAP and or make lots and lots of downloads of this game so that FishLabs can see all the download for the Xperia PLAY and support it.
I wrote back sayin this:
"Hello Sven, I replied to your email about requesting that Xperia PLAY gaming controls be supported. I have made a thread over on XDA specifically for this game in hopes that it will bring awareness and will also hopefully encourage FishLabs to add support for our phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41450496#post41450496
Myself and many others would be thrilled if it supports the Xperia PLAY. Despite the age of this phone I actually just bought another one to use as my daily phone as I really enjoy gaming on this phone and Galaxy on Fire 2 is one of my favorites. I would like to kindly request that it be considered, myself and many others will be crossing our fingers an hoping that our wish comes true. Thank you Sven for your time and your replies. I will remain optimistic of the Xperia PLAY seeing support.
Kind regards,
Jesse
One more response to my email:
"Our customer support team personnel has replied to your support request #806812

So it looks like Sven is now going to push for Xperia PLAY support.
Well, as much as I like their game, they have been an asshat to me eversince. As expected, they haven't replied to my e-mail. It's been a week.
Heck....while we are at it asking for xp support....I'll ask for ANDROID support too lol......based on their site all their games are apple or blackberry......apparantly they are fruit lovers
sent from my rooted nook hd+
I received another reply and although it is virtually the same as my last posted reply, it does give a tid bit more information:
"We're already working on an "All Android" version of GOF2 HD incl. both add-ons, Valkyrie and Supernova. It'll support about 200+ different devices and will hopefully be out later on this year. As soon as there are any more concrete news, we'll surely keep you posted."
Crossing fingers.
Supernova is out as an in app add-on. Updated the game on my old Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and it showed Supernova, on our device under add-ons supernova is not listed.
Wondering if we should start another email campaign to request the PLAY gets the supernova add-on as well..

Did a search for Xperia PLAY on the forums at Fishlabs and here were some results:
Our device is specifically listed as still being supported until the Supernova All Android version is released:

Another link for the new updated GOF 2 Supernova:

Just attempted to install the apk from my tablet onto the PLAY, it gives me a parser error.
This is HD version my friend, it requires Android 3.0 or higher, even if XP can make it, that would be too laggy. maybe we should wait for SD version's coming

yeah, I figured the same.... time will tell. Currently only the All devices HD version is out, perhaps it will change when the SD all android devices is released.
