[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
To be honest, I wast just going to announce some things :P

As for the app:

I hope to release it by the end of the month, even though I'm also making apps for other people too.

I shall try to upload some screenies somewhere this week.

The app wil only support the System.img files and update.zip for Kernels/ROMs.

The site on the other hand will probably go through some modifications this weekend.

Nothing big, just minor fixes in security and some DB changes to work better with the app.

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] TearsDontFalls:
But there will be a option for making a nandroid backup or sth, not only system switching, or?

Is andreapier also developing this app?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Nope, just me with some help here and there from CDesai.

There will be an option to install CWM if you're on stock, for making nandroid backups and such I should do some more research, will do ASAP.

EDIT:

Just found some Minus API PHP code, going to mess around with that again..

Dympy.

EDIT2:

I really, REALLY, hate my PC.

Right now on my laptop redoing a lot of work because my desktop deicded it was time to declare every piece of hardware faulty..

Right now reinstalling windows and added some extra stuff I had lying around..
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Okay, so my PC is up and running again.

Somehow it got very very hot and melted a few cables..

So I added an extra fan and drilled some extra holes, a shame I had to replace my graphics card but it also meant I could finally get a new screen.

Anyhow, right now transfering some files, I redid some code and I'm going to redo the DB in a sec.

Then I'll contact CDesai for the CWM part and I'll try to finish version 0.1 of the app at the end of the day.

I'll also look into some other servers for the direct uploading of files, probably end up buying one myself or create some sort of admin mode for myself (just a simple JAVA app or something) to upload stuff to Minus and change the URL in the DB.

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] cdesai:
^^

This....
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] TearsDontFalls:
Hmm you have worked on the site 1-2 months and you can finish a beta app in one day? Also pls delete my account and my test rom for security, i forgot my pw.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Well, the site took this long because of school stuff. We work in teams on projects at school, and somehow my team managed to f**k everything up, day after day.

As for the app, a lot of the code was already done, such as the UI.

Now I just need to make some PHP code and I'm mostly done.

I will ask CDesai to mail me the details needed for installing CWM for stock Kernels/ROMS and then the CWM part is mostly doen (except for the nandroid backup stuff).

Also, I should be studying right now for my upcoming tests, but this is way more fun :D

Dympy.

EDIT:

@all, I'm terribly sorry but tonight is not going to be the release.

I just found out I have 200 more pages to go for the test tomorrow (I hate UML).

The test is tomorrow morning, after the test I shall work on the app in my bus ride home and when I get home I shall do some final tests and upload it.

Once again, sorry all for letting you down.

Back to studying it is..
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dilzo:
Don't be sorry, tests and life comes first always.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Yeah, well I just made the test and it went terrible, just because the "Safe" Exam browser is still in some sort of beta and the students have to test it or something..

Anyhow, right now working on the app, some more DB changes, and the needed PHP code.

Progress report so far:

Meh, about 45% of the basics (around 30% being the CWM part).

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] TearsDontFalls:
So will you release a beta app tonight or tomorrow?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
If I get the PHP part done without any interference of my school project team with their problems, tonight.

For now I only need to make the PHP part and some minor modifications to the already existing g3rm app.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Everyone, release is going to be postponed.

Tomorrow evening/night shall be the release of the Beta app.

Why you aks? Because CDesai found a way to root the G3 without the use of a computer and this is an option we would like to see in this app under the CWM option.

We also discussed the installation of CWM and decided there are 2 possible ways, both shall be tested and implemented.

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] D@rekills4:
Great....

If it's beta then so be it.

Would be happy to test it.....
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Even though it's a Beta, it will still have the option to download the ROMS and Kernels.

And if you don't have CWM yet, it shall be installed (;

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] D@rekills4:
I see....

Already have CWM...

Its now a necessity.... ;)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Propgress update!!

So, the listing of ROMS and Kerels is done! Well, in theory that is.

I'm now installing the USB drivers and then I shall test my code.

When it's working I shall add the downloading part, that won't take so long (the creation of the code) since I already have it somewhere.

When that's done I'll start working on the CWM/root part.

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] TearsDontFalls:
Any news? I'm so excited!
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Well, my code which should have worked in theory, didn't really work so I had to redo it and now that's done (I think).

Because I have another problem, I lost the details of the G3MOD server, so I can't upload the php part of the app, which is, kinda, needed.

I can try hosting it on my desktop on localhost and change the code in the app to my PCs IP so I can test, but for it being fully functional I need the G3MOD server details.

I contacted the owner of the server and I'm awaiting reply.

However, after reworking a lot of code(inlcuding making it more effcient by making it recursive :D), my project team somehow again managed to mess around with the github repo which resulted into 1 member with working code. Me.

So I had to solve lots and lots of merge errors and I created a .gitignore file so they can't recreate the utter chaos we were in today.

So yeah, mostly done, now working on the download code while I'm studying for my last test this week which shall be tomorrow.

But a lot of the app now depends on me getting the details of the server back..

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Smonic:
I really only need this app so that i can install CWM recovery on my xxjpu ROM since it doesn't seem to install using the installer given to me by mumbozver. I request that you please add what is working and what is not in the first post in list form for the stupid people like me :p
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Will do when I made the listing of ROMs perfect :P

So yeah, it lists stuff now, I just need to add some extra stuff to avoid whitespace which looks disgusting.

So I changed the IP to my PCs IP so I could test, I believe My old laptop still has the login credentials for the G3MOD server, if so I can access the server and upload the files needed for the G3RM.

But for now I'll keep my testing environment.

Tomorrow is my day off and I'm trying to skip Beta 1 and go straight to Beta 2 (so with the rooting part).

Tonight I'm going to finish the listing of ROMS and kernels and then the downloading part.

When the app is done I shall make an upload method and when THAT's done, I take a break.

Also, I noted double ROMs on the server.

If you're not the owner of the ROM or Kernel, I'll delete the ROM or Kernel from the Database and contact the user who made the faulty ROM or Kernel.

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] TearsDontFalls:
I know that you probably hate such posts, but will it be released today?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Well, I stil haven't received the login credentials for the G3RM site so I still need to test using my PC as a server..

However, the app can now successfuly retrieve a list of versions of android, a list of the available ROMs and Kernels for that version, the Details of the chosen version and a list of available downloads.

I had to rework some things since my original idea didn't seem to work, but now it does. So I'm going to test the downloading part later on.

So I think I'll have to dig up the credentials on my laptop, I know they're somewhere, but can't remember where..

Dympy.

EDIT:

To answer you question mroe directly, probably not, since the app needs to have acces to the server.

However, tomorrow I'm going to dig in my laptop to find the credentials needed and upload the newer files to the server.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] TearsDontFalls:
If you used filezilla, there is a cache directory with a xml of the latest connections and its credentials. And be ready, tomorrow I'll ask the same question :D
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Sure, I'll prepare, but be sure to ask around same time :P

And I did use filezilla, shall look into it (;

As for the downloading method, I'm rethinking my startegy here.

Don't get me wrong, the download class is done and working, but I'm thinking of how to get everything I need in the method..

Also, all downloaded files shall be stored, for now, in teh root of the SD in a folder called G3RM, this way it's easier to navigate to from CWM (;

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Digibonez:
Aren't you planning to automate some things in CWM? I remember reading this was possible with some sort of script. This way no user interaction was needed to install a rom or kernel. Thanks and keep up the good work!

Send from my Samsung GT-5800.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Yes, I also believe this was possible through scripts, though Dharam would make the CWM part..

But since he doesn't have time or access to a pc/laptop because of his training he can't do much.

I shall look into it, for Beta 2 I only planned the downloading of ROMs and Kernels and the installing of CWM/rooting so those have top priority.

When that's done I shall look into automating the process of installing update.zips, the creation of nandroid backups, etc. etc.

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Hi guys, right now I'm on my phone and I accidentally tried to install an update.zip using ROM Manager which came with CM7 and all it does is execute a script.

Maybe, I can, perhaps with help from CDesai since he already helped this much, recreate a script like that for our version of CWM.

Just letting you know, I shall try to finish the app and re-retrieve the login credentials for the server tomorrow.

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] TearsDontFalls:
A little Help for you:

If your laptop had XP, then enable in the explorer settings seeing secret files and go trough your User Data->Application Data(dont know how it is in your language, in my: Anwendungsdaten) and got to filezilla,

Windows Vista/7: C:\Users\dympy\AppData\Roaming\Filezilla

Linux /home/dympy/.Filezilla

And there is a xml called recentservers.xml

For the cwm part:

moikop wrote this posts, maybe it can help you.

And Im eventually in travel at a roaming zone, so i may cant ask you. :D
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
UPDATE TIME!!1!

So the downloading of ROMs and Kernels works, but I think I'll go with a little more perfection and download the System.img to the right folder (User can choose before downloading).

So tonight I have this halloween party (yeah, I know, it's not yet halloween) and this means I still have a few hours to keep reflashing my phone, just to test the CWM/rooting part of the app.

Yup, going to be fun :D

But this all means I shall most probably release the app somewhere tomorrow.

Also, I went messing around more with the original ROM Manager which came with CM7 and at first I thought it did nothing in recovery, but then, after pressing a hardware button, I could actually see the fail messages..

Can't remember them exactly, but it mentioned something about my SDCARD? Don't know, shall look into it.

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
I got bored of reflashing after reflashing after reflashin, so I decided to see if I could make a working script for the flashing of update.zips.

And I think I'm getting somewhere, instead of the not found error, I'm now just getting a signature verification failed message :D

But it could find and open the package, so maybe with another update.zip...

We'll see :D

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] alen1901:
Hmm, what that means,will app be released today? :P

Sent from my GT-I5800
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Well, I do hope so.

Today consists of a lot of reflashing because several methods shall be implemented, so it will take some time to have everything tested.

I'll ignore my final test of tomorrow, since I just have to create something I already created like 20 times before.

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] sohail77:
any eta about the site
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Site is already online, I believe third post.

Guys, I'm terribly sorry, but I couldn't finish the app today because I had to go the hospital.

Nothing big, nothing major, just something wrong with my neck..

Anyhow, this did resulted in me not being able to finish the app today.

I shall see if I make it late or not to finish, but it won't be released today, I'm sorry.

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hasjee:
take your time, waiting another day or maybe more doesnt hurt.

and take good care of your neck, you only have one. :D
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dhirend_6d:
:D:p. Yeah take your time. :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] tbschommer:
your neck is certainly more important than the app, dympy.

so take good care of yourself, everything else come when it's time!
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] kyrillos13:
Dumpy take your time :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] alen1901:
yea, agree, stay cool, app is not more important than your health. :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] rdass3646:
Yeah dympy heath comes first and do inform us about the status of your neck now :):D
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] RafayelG:
You should not give any eta's just surprise us an take good care
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Hello everyone, long time no see!

My neck was broken so I couldn't sit up and work for a couple of days, then my ISP decided to close down my connection, which resulted in me being reliable on unstable neighbor WiFi..

Yup, fun week so far, but it gets better!

Dropbox, which I was using for the sharing of code between my laptop and my desktop decided it was time for conflicted copies, now I lost all the PHP code needed for the app..

I've already rewritten quite a lot now, even better then it first was, but I still need to do some more coding.

Most of it now is Copy/Paste and then change a few variables, but still, it's boring and not fun to do.

Then for the CWM part, I have somewhat managed to write a script thingy which actually tries to reboot the phone in recovery and install the update.zip from the specified location!

Now just one more problem with that, CWM keeps giving me a verification failed message, somehow it doesn't remember my settings..

So yeah, so far this update thing.

Didn't have time yet for the testing of installing the CWM or rooting part of the app, but I'll work on it after I get the PHP part of the site done(again).

Dympy

//Just to be clear, my neck didn't actually break, it was just malfunctioning :P
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
So a lot of the code is rewritten (for the site that is) and I re-found the login credentials for the server, so I can now finally live test again (Thank god).

This also means the security fixes shall probably be available in an hour or so.

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] TearsDontFalls:
Sorry I didn't asked you for ETA, so I will do it now: will the app be released at this weekend or maybe today?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
This weekend, yes.

I couldn't handle the development speed of my school project, so I stood up and crowned myself Program Manager.

So now we're way ahead of schedule and I have some free time on my hands for this app.

Also, thanks for your tip about filezilla, got the login credentials now (;

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] TearsDontFalls:
Yeah its time for asking for ETA: Will the app released today/tonight?

I know that i get on your nerves with my nice ETA-Questions, its so because im so excited.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
So all PHP files are done and I just need to make a few quick changes before the download code of the ROMs and Kernels is done.

However, I'm not going to work on the app today because of a party I have to attend.

Tomorrow I'm going into Beast-mode and shall try to finish this app ASAP.

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] neo1691:
Good work dympy!!

See if you can get the app to install cwm as well on stock phones!! so that all installation of rom takes place via cwm only!! it will same some server space too as update.zips are smaller as compared to tar files.

You will need permission of the cwm dev though!! also the man who ported it here!

All the best!!
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Well, the CWM part we are adding has to work on stock, it will be our main target!.

And since we're using the G3MOD modded CWM (I believe) I think that won't really be a problem (;

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] TearsDontFalls:
And the next ETA question comes from..... TearsDontFalls : are there any updates from the projects, so that it can be released tonight?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Well, both yes and no.

The downloading part is completely done and I just have to make a few changes here and there and then the testing begins.

However, my only USB cable snapped..

This means to test on my phone I have to compile, copy to my sdcard using a card reader and then install the .apk, and trust me, testing this way is a real pain in the ass..

Which in terms means I can't flash any new ROMs through Odin until I have a new cable..

So the CWM and Rooting part of the app can't be tested until the stores open and I get myself a new cable..

So my question to you guys is:

Do you mind Beta 1 not having the CWM and Rooting options?

If you don't I will release the actual ROM Manager part tonight.

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] rdass3646:
do as you wish brother it is your hard work and you have full right to release it whenever you feel like doing it. looking forward to your great work :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] neo1691:
Take your time dympy!! Dont release anything unless you dont feel satisfied yourself.! And i know exactly when a programmer like you will feel satisfied!! :D
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
After dinner I'll make some final tests (for the downloading and such) and then, if everything's working, I shall compile and sign the apk and add it to the 2nd post/site.

EDIT:

This does mean no CWM or rooting until I get a new cable.

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] TearsDontFalls:
Thats not a problem, we will test it and we will be happy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Okay, release shall be within a few hours.

I'm, now implementing the final layout thing for the system.img files, so the user can choose in what Multiboot folder he want to save it.

A lot of it is copy/paste, but the testing shall be fun (;

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Stupid, stupid me.

I couldn't get the download code working, why? Because it wouldn't make the folder, why? Because I did File.mkDir() instead of File.mkDirs().

Sorry for those not understanding, but I just had to rant a little bit about my stupidity.

But yeah, downloading now works, but I haven't checked for the ROMs, simply because there are no system.img ROMs available yet..

I have to fix a query and test some more, and when that's done I shall release the app (;

Dympy.

---------- Post added at 11:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:00 PM ----------

Okay, it's done.

Right now I'm compiling and then I'll upload, when uploaded this post shall be edited.

Nice wOrk dympy, can it apply zips automatically, or must I flash to in Cwm? Also I can't go back when there is a small Dow with the download button.

I don't realy know, shall look into this.

Other Roms work?

I'm still working on the update script but I think it won't work with CWM 4 which I'm currently using.

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Smonic:
I dont get this problem on stock xxjpu but when i open the app it says you are currently not connected to the internet but my wifi is connected. Maybe it only detects 3g connection.

Ignore that issue it says i am.connected. I just misread it

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Yeah, I still have to add checks.

If the page is blank, it's because there are no downloads yet.

I shall create a quick upload method today and hope more devs will start uploading ROMs and Kernels.

As for the FC bug when you clicked the Kyrillos' Rom, I could reproduce, but it was because my connection was lost. After I regained connection I could normally access it's content.

Well, I'm thinking of building my own server soon and just let it run 24/7 or something.

Anyhow, the app is now compiling but somehow it takes longer then usual..

I'm going to grab a cup of tea and upload when I return (:
