I have attached herein a screenshot showing DLNA as 1 process & 1 service in "running apps" but I cannot see the app in the apps menu as earlier when we were on GB. I'm on bone stock OTA ICS India upgrade non rooted. Also the DLNA site shows our device as certified yet. Any inputs?
Motorola Phone Portal which was very useful now is missing in ICS.
Has anyone extracted the apk's for use in ICS for these two apps as was the case for the stock GB music player?

I tried installing this on my stock AT&T. No Bueno. This sucks, I use the phone portal to text from my computer.
if you have seen the lack of DLNA application and Motorola Phone Portal,
the thing is that the service is present in ICS DLNA.
but it turns out the DLNA fully integrated application, My Gallery and My Music.
If you notice, for example, the application will be "My Gallery", you give Configuration Menu button, down sale "Configuring media sharing" section comes to DLNA media sharing,
eg DLNA servers out button in the Gallery menu, gives you the option of viewing the content on PCs or devices that support DLNA
Same goes for my music, both options at the same place as "my gallery".
In summary DLNA been integrated in gallery and music.
regarding Motorola Phone Portal, there, Download AirDroid and spectacular. Much better than "Motorola Phone Portal"
We also thank the Print functionality, I loved a lot. I have a shared printer on the network and I can print from my phone.
Yes I see the way you explained it and for pictures & video (excluding music file which anyways does not feature in gallery), when we click on the down arrow symbol, it gives option for "copy to media server" & when clicked it searches for "DLNA servers" &
when we click "Play on" it searches for "Playback devices" (don't know if this option pertains to DLNA as well?)
Airdroid as an replacement for "Motorola Phone Portal" I am aware of but did not see specific result for "Spectacular" as you mentioned. Could you post link for the same?. Don't u/s why Moto withdrew Phone Portal and can't make out why the apk file for the same which I posted didn't work on ICS whereas the stock Music app player installed & works just fine in ICS.
Thanks for your helpful inputs, appreciate (with thanks button clicked)

I still wish we could get Phone Portal back. I actual prefer it over airdroid. The only think I used Phone Portal for was to send texts via the computer. Although I can do that through airdroid, it's not nearly as smooth.

The Motorola Milestone Android 2.1 update has apparently been released in Europe and it includes some new Motorola custom apps: a replacement camera app; a new Motorola-specific Facebook app, and a custom CarHome app.
I haven't found anywhere much info about or screen shots of these yet as it looks like the update was just pushed yesterday.
Has anyone seen these apps floating around out there in an APK form for us to install on our Nexuses?
I've got a Milestone that has been at 2.1 for a couple of weeks now (love leaks).
I'll pull the APK's from the rom and post them, if you are interested. It would not shock me if they have run problems out of the box.
I'd like these as well if you don't mind.
I'd be interested in the email app with the new exchange security features.
I looked on android git and it doesn't seem like anything new has been committed to the email app in the last 7 weeks though.
Bump, anyone?
Just plugged in my 'stone - what apks do you want?
EDIT: I'm pulling /system/app and posting the zip to Filedropper as we speak. I'll post the link in a few seconds.
I've tried a few of them. The Facebook app doesn't seem like a massive improvement. The Moto Car Home app is less fancy but probably easier to use hile driving than the N1 - it is a rectangle with 6 big buttons. Milestone has the N1 and the Droid absolutely killed with the photo editor app. The camera and video app is OK - the effects mode is very nice, though I don't use that, but can't touch the Desire cam for speed and function. The corporate email and calendar apps apparantly still work pretty well with exchange (they already did with 2.0 and 2.0.1). The audio equalizer is very nice - I wish that the N1 had that (it hasn't changed from 2.0.1, that I can tell).
Here is the link to all of the apps. All are de-odexed.

Thanks for posting this. Camera app FC on me . I really like the way milestone camera works and hoping that I can use it on my N1. Moto phone portal works pretty well with N1.
How did you get MotoCamera to work on your N1?

Which one is the new FB app? If it's the Facebook.apk then it's the same one that comes on our nexus'......
Has anyone tried to install the photo editor app he mentioned? If it'll install through a file manager on a stock N1, then I'm wondering how it compares to Adobe's app.
Would like to know about that too^^^
The moto phone portal app is really cool too! works perfectly
Do u have too be rooted to install the phone portal and what does it do?
it lets you back up contacts, photos, sms.
And it lets you send/recieve sms from your phone using wifi, it's all done through a web page, really neat!
and idk if you have to be rooted or not :/
You are all welcome.

The photo editor is pretty close to Photoshop Mobile for Android, except it is linked to the Gallery, so opening a photo anywhere that uses the Gallery offers the edit options in the menu.
Therein lies the rub: at least on the Milestone, you have to use the 'stone's gallery to use the 'stone's editor. I have both the Milestone gallery and the Nexus gallery on my Milestone for exactly this reason.
When I get a chance, I'll try the Gallery and Photo Editor on my N1 to see if it works.
What about the Email app? Has anyone tried it yet?
Does it have any improvements compared to the stock app?

Hi, I just got a Sensation a couple of days ago and there have been a few problems I hope you guys could help me with.
Firstly, my Android Market only shows a few of the apps that there should be. Loads of apps such as the launchers or Angry Birds for example aren't showing up. When I open the Market from my desktop it says that these apps cannot be installed in my country (UAE) when i have friends here with other Android phones with the very same apps.
Secondly, whenever I play a video on the phone it plays fine for about a minute and then the audio switches off and it only comes back if I skip scenes. I don't if this is a fault with my phone or maybe a wrong format I'm using, can you guys recommend a converter?
Thanks for any help, it's much appreciated.

I do not know the answer to your first question, but I would assume that your friends either have a different ROM flashed to their phone that allows them to bypass country restrictions, or they have downloaded the APK's from somewhere else, then 'adb push'ed them to their device... Someone more knowledgeable than me can answer that one...
The second question regarding video converters... I have used an application called Handbrake in the past to re-encode my video files, and it has worked wonders. I highly recommend it. Link: http://handbrake.fr/
Hope this helps.

You can try to find the apk for the apps you want and install them outside of Market by copying the apk to your SD card then installing from there (be sure to check the allow non-market applications box under the applications settings) this should (I think) bypass any country restrictions. If you look around I'm sure you can find the apks you want. If not you could probably make a request for certain apps and someone can upload the apk for you.
Thanks, I'll let you know how it goes.
Where do I paste the App file in the SD card?
Anywhere . You can, for example create new folder - "Apps" on yours sd and paste applications there.
Wystukane z mojego Swifta przy użyciu Tapatalk
Ahh, sorry should've been more specific. After copying the file over, where do I go in the phone to install it?
Nevermind, got it.
You can use the web-market to install apps. No idea why it doesn't appear on the phone's market app, but it should appear on the web market.
market.android.com
For the second problem: what video format are you using? Try *.mp4 or *.avi and see if they work Also, what resolution is the video?

You can try another video player such as MoboPlayer to see if you have converted your video ok.

I also use HandBrake converter.
There is an app called android market enabler "lets you access paid apps from countries where paid apps are not yet available". But it requires you to root your phone which is not currently possible on our phone. This could be what your friends are using.
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/market-enabler-v3-0-8-for-root-users/
I just copied some random avi files I had on my desktop, which gave me the problem above. Haven't tried using converter yet but I'll give it a shot now.

make a folder on the root of your storage card & name it notifications & put the sounds in there.
for the weather sound you can disable that in the weather app or somewhere like that
New Google Videos app today lets you rent movies

Original message:
Guys its working for me, even tho rooted (some people can't playback cause it will say you are rooted, if it works, then great)
how?
After renting from the video app (install manually above)
go to 'market.android.com/movies
and play it from there, itll play in the browser
if u get desperate, get Dolphin Browser, make ur UA String desktop, and go to youtube.com/movies and watch it there
(Flash needs to be installed ofcourse)
Cool thing is im doing this on the wifi samsung tab 10.1 (officially only xoom), installed the apk manually
should be possible...
could u put up the app here so i can have a look at it?
All the security checks are actually done in YouTube.apk. that apk is so obfuscacted, all I can say is good luck. However, it may just do a simple call to ro.secure

JB Default Share Menu
Does anyone else seem to have a problem with this, or is it just me.
Not nearly as many apps are available to choose from, when you click share. (Stock)
And about 50+% of the time. The app you want to share to isn't an option to choose from
I've downloaded an app that helps a lil called Andmade Share, Which will show a different pop up menu with pretty much all apps available to share too.
The only problem is. Even after choosing default for Andmade Share and not Android System. The stock JB Share Menu will still show up, especially the time when you dont want it too. (Cause the app you want to share to isnt available)
Am I doing something wrong, or anyway to fix this
You Will Be Thanked Accordingly
And Appreciated
What is it that you want to share?
If you are talking about sharing the APK files, you can use File Manager HD from Play Store.
Just browse to the directory and long press the file name and click share. You will find a lot of options like dropbox, email bluetooth etc.

no like say ur on chrome which doesn't have flash.so if you want to watch a flash video. you have to share to a diff browser or video player that supports flash. well the share menu never shows me all my options. and normally the video player i want to share to isn't a choose.
not only chrome either.. this is just one example of where i came across this issue.
"Share files over wifi" (ShareBox) it's a new free tool app aimed to easily share files over wifi through web browser
When using ShareBox, you will not have anymore let friends and relatives take your device to show them your photos or videos. They will see them through their own device, be it android, iphone, windows, blackberry or linux, through their web browsers. And they will only see what you want to show in a quick, comfortable way and simultaneously!
As other devices begin to connect you will immediately know what they are watching through the informative Sharebox log list.
Get it at Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.b6dev.sharebox
Features that makes this app special:
Share the files through browser, so you can get them from any device that has a web browser be it android, iphone, ipad, windows, blackberry or linux.
Only shares and shows the files previously selected.
May be used with wifi networks, own wifi hotspot and also on phone 3g connections.
When ShareBox server is on, you are presented with a URL link to see what others are going to see.
As other devices begin to connect you will know what they are watching through the log list.
Very useful for photo shows as it presented by default as gallery, but also has a list mode that may be more suitable for other kind of files.
Go and try it!
Anyone to provide feedback or suggestions for this application, please?
Came here cause I saw the app in the XDA portal, seems simple enough and ultra handy for the people who really struggle to send files. :good:
I also saw this on the XDA portal. Looks like a great idea; I have to try it out.
A few questions:
1) How do you connect over data (e.g. 3g)?
EDIT: I see the server status page has a WAN IP as well. Do we need to do any port forwarding or anything like that?
2) Can you download the files as well, or just view them?
3) Is there a way to add whole folders?
Hmm I like the concept !
(Not yet tried app - wishing you had a direct download link to fileshare service along with G-Store link)
Here's what I would like to be able to do and hoping your app can handle it.
Share a folder, then view / download those files through the browser.
Guessing http //device.ip/share

I think u can start the server on mobile network directly

hence why I 'try' open settings, after tapping settings, about 6 seconds later. *CRASH*

maybe add themes for the Web interface.

The connection is made through ip sockets, so you may connect not only through wifi but also through all ip addresses your mobile may has, at the time you turn on your ShareBox

Samsung Tab 3 10" - Tap Settings - a delay, screen stay same - then after 6 seconds, maybe bit longer, app closes with msg box (every time)
Would it be possible to enable nfc "sharing"?
For example, if I have sharebox opened and running on a certain ip and port, and I tap another nfc device, then the other device's default browser would open up, already displaying the sharebox url.
Kinda like I can share a web url or maps location via android beam, but this time the beam wouldnt be between two identical apps, but between sharebox and the default browser of the other device.
Cheers!

Hey no problem, I'll just update again..
I dont mind reporting bugs..
What I really need though, would be an app which can share a folder.
(Not just an interface that lets me share all the files in the folder quickly)
Something which shares 'that folder' live..
So if folder contents update 'live', refreshing the page will reflect the changes, much like a web-server would
If I try to add a cloud pic (I click add file, select stock kitkat gallery, click on a picasa / g+ image) the app force closes.
Can cloud pics be added? I dont think that nowadays people keep more than a few recently took photos on their device, both for memory and sync / backup reasons...
