JBlend and Java and the mystery of the vanishing app

Hi folks, sorry for the duplicate post I just realised this is where I should have posted (not on the general thread)....
I am a formula 1 race fan and the official website provides a rich and powerful java app for PDA's that is truly cool. It provides live timing, circuit data, weather conditions etc
See http://www.formula1.com/mobile_services/live_timing.html
The application detects I am downloading this to my HD2 and it installs well and runs quite well. However everytime I shut it down I have to go to the website to download it again !?
It doesn't appear in my installed applications list and I can't find the formula1.jar file it downloads.
Can one of the code gurus on here help track down where this app goes so we can have it all the time?
The only clue I can see is that it shares the same icon as the jblend application found in the tools section.
What is JBlend???
When I click on jblend I get the F1 2010 application appear with several options (one of which is local install) but nothing other than going to the full download works.
Can someone help please I am obviously not across the java implementation here. Can someone download this and try it???

JBlend is Java emulator, bcoz WinMo not supporting Java.
You don't have to download this app agin - just find and run JBlend form your Menu Start and your app will be on list. Mark it and run and this is it!

Hi Frank, yes I apologised I made the first thread and then realised I should have posted here.
I have seen the F1 app you provided as well as another I loaded
http://www.bestwindowsmobileapps.co...cing-stats-and-fixtures-on-windows-phone.html
But neither of them have live timing and all the other features of the official F1 app. Is there any way I can find out where the formual1.jar file is being copied to and keep a copy so I can run a local install whenevr I need to?

you want have *.JAR?

FRANQ_23_PL said:

I want to be able to run this from the JBlend whenever I want to but as I said I get an error "Uncaught Exception!"
I know when I download the installation file from the website and install it I am able to run it one time again. I believe it copies down a file called formula1.jar but I don't know where it puts that. If I could copy that file I could then install it locally rather than use up bandwidth connecting and downloading it each time.

Heh i know where it is
I dunno whats wrong with your Leo, but in mine after installing and restarting phone this app don't disapear and working fine.
Try to install it form THIS FILE extracted from my Leo, maybe this helps.

Hey I didn't think of rebooting after installing the APP! But every time I try to run it I get "Uncaught Exception!"
Please note I can see the app in JBlend its just that I don't know where the installation file gets downloaded to.
Anyway I installed the application again and rebooted my Leo this time. Again I was able to successfully run this app but once I shut it down and tried to run it again from JBlend I still get "Uncaught Exception".
At least now that I have a copy of the Jar file I can run that locally to install again.
Its a pain having to do this but thanks for the jar file at least I am not using up bandwidth downloading the file from the net.

How to use THE FAST! BlueStack as your alternate Android development emulator

You can do this VERY EASY! but I'll recommend that you first install Launcher Pro or ADW (you can sync the app using the BlueStacks Android app) then set as your default home. Once you have done that you can open Launcher Pro trough the gadget at any time.
Then open Eclipse go to your "Device Manage" tab and under "Android Remote Device" add a new entry like this:
Name: (whatever you want to name it)
Host: 127.0.0.1
Port: 5555
And you are done! BlueStacks is WAYYYYYYYYYY faster to lunch apps that the regular android emulator. I did a small app for testing/debug and it installed/lunch/debug just fine on BlueStacks.

I cant for the life of me find the device manager could you explain how to get it to appear?

On the Eclipse menu go to:
- "Window", "Show View", "Other..."
- Then type on the entry text box "Device". It should show under the "Sequoyah" folder.
Today I notice that it automatically added "localhost:5555" under "Android Remote Device" next to my manually added entry and the Eclipse DDMS Console was giving me some errors. I restarted BlueStacks and everything seems to be ok now (the automatic added entry is gone now and no more errors too). Lucky that a BlueStacks restart is SUPER fast!

I don't found Device Manager in Android Remote Device in Eclipse, anyone can help me some guides ?

Hi,
how do you install your homemade app for testing/debugging (need official certificate) ? Your bluestacks player seems to be windowed ? how do you make that ? thanks...

Hello!
I'm an artist on an Android project and have very little knowledge on the technical side of things.
Any chance you could expand this how-to a bit more in-depth, as I have trouble even finding "Device Manager" and don't know what Launcher Pro and ADW do and where to find them.
I'd really appreciate it!

It really works! Great! Thanks.
I struggled over this for an hour, because I could not see Device Manager tab in Eclipse. So i downloaded MotoDev Studio (It is SDK + Eclipse + all plugins needed) and now i run bluestack smoothly
More precise way to do this:
1. Download and install BlueStack
2. Download and install MotoDev Studio (Its free)
3. Download Launcher pro or ADW launcher .apk
4. Right click on the .apk, select "open with", "Browse"
go to C:\Program Files (x86)\BlueStacks (for 64bit system)
or
go to C:\Program Files\BlueStacks (for 32bit system)
and select HD-ApkHandler.exe
Launcher should be installed after a moment.
5. Open MotoDev
6. select Device Managment tab
7. Right click on Android Remote Device and click New...
8. Name it like you want, for example "BlueStack"
9. fill Host and Port boxes with
Host: 127.0.0.1
Port: 5555
10. Click OK
Now everything should work. You can close MotoDev and try to open BlueStack and then select Launcher. Now bluestack is fast as native android device and games run smooth Thx to riveraju

Must come back here when I have time to read lol thanks a lot for this man. I installed the ask last June and still haven't gotten the emulator to work XD

Is this still a working method? I'm using a Mac and have just downloaded Bluestacks but I can't even connect to it through adb nor it shows up under my device list.
Any other method to debug my app through Bluestacks with a Mac?

Do you Any tricks to emulate system apps?
Sent from my Nokia 3210 using xda app-developers app

Hey guys,
so I installed BlueStacks as I already had Eclipse installed and "kinda" followed the guides to this method.
I start Bluestacks player and then I start eclipse and look at the device tab and see this after opening Blood Brothers:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/lja2rj4wziycsgq/eclipse.png
Many players say that it should be faster after doing this but I see no difference to playing without Eclipse. Am I missing something, a command or something? Or is that all there is, Eclipse is now connected and running with Bluestacks?

fios
Good stuff, it sped it up just barely to handle the verizon fios mobile tv app. now i can watch live tv on my laptop

is there an alternative to this like regitry hack? I mean I have to download Eclipse or MotoDev which is around 200 mb of size just to put this trick?

Instead of searching for device management tab you can simply enter
adb connect 127.0.0.1
after starting bluestacks...

bluestacks certificates
Have you managed to install new certificates on Bluestacks ? Seems to me like Security/Credential Storage menu is completely missing as well as other features. I understand that this is just an emulator but we need many other features for development.

Capturing OTA Update URL For Noobs (No logcat required)

Capturing OTA Update URL For Noobs (No logcat required)
Hi guys this thread is for those people who want to capture the link for OTA Update but do not know how to read logcat. This is a very easy process i have made which involves root,xposed module...and 5 min (To get the link of the OTA ofcourse download is going to take time depending upon the length of the OTA update data.
Many people can't read logcat and get confused by it in this method you have to just press buttons only and nothing more....
Requirement-
-Rooted Device
-ADB Drivers
-Xposed Module
-Url Snooper (Windows Software)
-Reverse Tethering (Windows Software/Android Companion Apps)
-Little to no brains....:silly:
Note- If the ADB Driver Does Not work you need to find the driver which is compatible to your device online.
Links to the software makers-
-Xposed Module
-Reverse Tethering
-URL Snooper
The Links for the software and apps are in the attachment below-
I have broken the procedure into 6 post to help you understand better-
Press thanks if this helps

Install Computer Software
Follow the following procedure below to install URL Snooper and Winpcap-
1) Install URL Snooper
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2) After the installation you will notice another setup opens automatically which is the winpcap setup install that too-

Setting up the Device
Now you need to set up your device-
1) Make sure that your Device is rooted
2) Make sure your ADB is installed (If you don't know what adb is then check it online and also make sure that adb drivers are installed in you computer)
3) First install Xposed Framework (link Above)
4) Go into the app and tap the Framework button
5) Then tap the "Install/Update" button and reboot
5) Then install USB Tunnel and hack connect Service app
6) After that again go inside the Xposed Framework and click the module button and then tick mark the hack connect service app (Don't click on the icon only click on the checkbox on the side

Preparing URL Snooper
Now you need to prepare the settings of URL Snooper such that you can use it to capture the right URL-
1)Start url snooper (In start Menu)
2) Now Go to files tab and click advance such that the interface would look like this
3) Now in the protocol filter change the show multimedia to show all.
4) You will see a lot of URL Click on clear results and then make sure none of your software are useing internet (Check background processes like utorrent also) also make sure none of your app in device is using internet also

Activating Reverse Tethering app
Now you download the reverse Tethering v3.19.zip file and extract it this software helps to transfer your internet connection from your computer to your device-
1) Connect the data cable from the computer to the device
2) Extract the zip and press the androidtool exe file
3) After that check that in the select a device section you will have something like 0123456789ABCDEF so but something must be there if not you don't have adb driver or your adb driver is incompatible. ADB Driver Link
4) Press the connect button and a script execution window shall popup
5) After which it would look something like this
Now to check open a browser and type any page a it should load and also a graph shall come under the download meter of the android reverse tethering software. Note- When you minimizse this app it minimizses in the system tray

Capturing Update Link
Now it is finally the time to capture the URL of the OTA Update.zip-
1) Just to be sure Again clear the results in the URL Snooper Software
2) Go to the the Update Location (It is mostly located in Settings->About tablet->Check for new version software) and press the download button after which it might ask you if you want to download through WLAN pres continue anyway button
3) The download will start
4) In the URL Snooper you shall see a new link associated with the GET zip protocol copy the link and paste it somewhere safe the close everything and download the zip file ( You can cancel the download in the device now if you want) GOOD LUCK
Note-i have heard somewhere that download accelerator like idm sometimes corrupt the download so be carefull.

Bonus Function
This post has nothing to do with the capturing the update but since these software are awesome i would like you to know all the awesome function of the software-
URL SNOOPER- This software can be use to detect all the url that comes into the computer from any software in the computer thus it can be used to download vedios that you might be playing or songs.(Use Multimedia filter)
The main reason i use this software is to download offline installer files of program. (In an online windows installer the setup first downloads the offline installer quietly in the temporary files folder located in the C drive and then deletes the file after the installation is completed) Some softwares do not provide offline installers so this is a nice way to leech the exe file and store it.
REVERSE TETHERING- This software can be used to provide internet connection to your device from you computer (Its usefull when you have a fast internet port but no wifi modem) you can use this to update apps browser net etc.....etc
HOPE THIS METHOD WILL HELP EVERYONE AND ALSO WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF FINDING OTA URL IN THE NET (IF YOU SEARCH ONLY NEXUS AND SAMSUNG URL ARE MOSTLY FOUND SINCE MOST OF THE DEVELOPMENT ARE PRESENT IN THAT DEVICE LINE)
PRESS THANKS IF THIS HELPS

Hi there.
I've tested 1-2 months ago on android oreo and liked.
Worked great.
Then i've decided to uninstall Termux. Done.
2 weeks ago i've reinstalled, all from above.
The only thing bad is that i can't find the files.
It doesn't create Youtube folder.... on termux looks like processing, finished the video or mp3 but when i try to locate files of folder i have found none of them?!
Is it a bug?
I've updated even the python, the termux-tools... nothing...

Hi.
check this directory path if it exists
/data/data/com.termux/files/home/storage/shared/Youtube

Hii! Been trying to do this trick in my termux app and I always fail not until I read this article of yours. Thank you for this. Can I ask some questions? Can I change the quality of the video like 360p, 480p, 720p or 1080p? I saw some articles with such features but couldn't apply it because I used this installation guide of yours. Hope to hear from you.

I feel like i discovered new continent! LOL!
Just set it up and it works like a charm!
This is epic!
Thank you so much man!!

Do you know you can easily download Youtube videos and Soundcloud musics directly from the NewPipe app?
You don't need to bother with youtube-dl, which is great and very convenient on PC (we all agree on that) but not really on Android.
@ascppl
FYI, Newpipe lets you choose between audio and video.

Really works flawlessly for me!
Only thing i gotta ask is...
Is there a way to make it let u pick if you want video file or mp3 file downloaded?

No you cant view files directly ,its stored on root folders and its available only to the application,just like many other apps. Meanwhile you can use
Termux-open --option file name directly/path
Here option should be replaced by functions like view,send chooser, i use chooser ,and it opens list of available apps to open the file with.
But if that code is long ,or you have to many files downloaded ,then simply change the directory (with cd command) to the folder of your videos/files. Then type termux-open --chooser filename.
It trims the last part of declaring url/path if you're viewing too many videos.

.APK files not showing up in app folders

I am really lost with this problem as i cannot find any other instance of it...
device: Redmi note 9S, not rooted, developer options enabled, Android 10, MIUI 12.0.4.0
in the android/data/ directory, under the com.[author].[app] files, i can't seem to find any apk files, it just appears to be empty except for an additional "files" folder that doesn't contain any useful files, while the tutorials i was following need access to a base.apk file that, in my case, does not exist. I need to know if this is a new version general android change, a device specific one ? where are the apps running from? are they all web shortcuts? if they use an apk file, where can i find it? I'm unexperienced in all those things, but I felt this would be the best place to get an answer.

Go through your file manager settings and find the option to show hidden files.

@LasevIX_
An app's APK-file is housed in folder /data/data. The APK-file itself gets installed in folder /data/app as base.apk.
Example:
/data/app/[your_package_name]-[1,2,n]/base.apk

I have done that already, but the apk files still don't show up.

also, I think this thread may benefit from further precisions:
the .apk files do not show up either in the phone's built in file manager, windows explorer or in ADB ls commands.
I am practically sure it isn't hidden files, I have all the settings for viewing them enabled.
if there's some secret setting that may provide access to those files, please do tell where.

after further checking, the app i was trying do copy to my computer reports an app size of 106MB, but the com.____._____ folder reports 21B, so i suspect it may be some sort of shortcut to another folder.

Typically one makes use of ADB commands to pull an APK file ( Android must NOT be rooted ):
Step 1: Get location of desired app in Android's filesystem
Code:
adb shell "pm path com.example.someapp"
The output will look something like
package:/data/app/com.example.someapp-2.apk
or
package:/data/app/com.example.someapp-nfFSVxn_CTafgra3Fr_rXQ==/base.apk
Step 2: Using the full path name from Step 1, pull the APK file from the Android device to the Windows computer
Code:
adb pull /data/app/com.example.someapp-2.apk <PATH-ON-PC>

I wasn't aware that you could use adb to find the location of apps, but the command you suggested gives an unexpected result (screenshot attached). it gives multiple results of files despite them being invisible to file explorers. Once i try to pull the package with the method you suggested, it gives an error as if it wasn't there. Did I type the wrong syntax? does the "pm path" command only give expected locations for files?

This will be helpful for teh future, thank you for directing me to that tutorial.
but it still requires to pull the apk, which i have not been able to do.
as described in my previous reply, ADB seems to be able to return the location of the apk, but can't pull it, as if it never existed.

According to the screenschot you provided earlier I think the package ( APK ) you want to pull is stored as
/data/app/com.netflix.mediaclient-YUY-VwSu3KeCc44bkA
shorthanded as
base.apk
but don't really know it: this is not my world.
