I can't afford the hair!

I have sky go working on my Milestone 2, but have been trying to get it working on my Nook Color (as the screen is much bigger),

I have an imei number thru a patched framework.jar, and I have flashed the wifi only zip etc. but Skygo gets to the program loading screen and comes up with a diaglogue box "! Media Streaming A Wi-Fi or internet data connection is required to use Skygo"

Yes I do have a wifi connection before you ask.

- failed to read device mac address

ignore this.

- unable to open telephonymanager.smali

not seen this before.

- failed to reboot device - perform manualy then reboot

I got this on my two wifi only devices, had it created a patched framework.jar before this? It did for me which I manually place in /system/framework to replace the original framework.jar and then rebooted.

Where does it save the patched version on the pc? Far as i can see, it deletes the one i direct it to initially...

mate - where does the software put the patched framework file on the pc so I can copy it over manually?

a little help for you:

1) make sure you havent got root hidden still from when you were trying to run the app

2) use es file explorer and tick the up to root option and right access option
[Android Apps and Games] maddog1979:
just before the imei program goes into clean up and deletes all the files its created... i get a error that it cant push the files to the device... DONT click anything and just go to the folder and the framework.jar is in there. Just copy it somewhere else.
[Android Apps and Games] darren1:
In the working directory on your pc when it throws up the error it can't put it on your device don't click anything there should be a folder called system.

try using adb

adb remount

adb push framework.jar /system/framework/framework.jar

reboot
[Android Apps and Games] nk33:
oh mate it doesnt do that - am i gonna have to search the whole c drive for this framework.jar file or can you not tell me what the working folder is?

,,.,it must be consistent and follow some logic - what folder was it for you?
[Android Apps and Games] maddog1979:
c:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb push framework.jar

/system/framework/framework.jar

failed to copy 'framework.jar' to '/system/framework/framework.jar': Read-only file system

I get this when i try to push using ADB... Grrrr
[Android Apps and Games] nk33:
can you see? - that message doesnt tell you where the framework.jar file has been saved on the pc.

it just gives you the comman it used and then tells you it failed to push it...where did you pick up the actual file from when you tried to manually put it on your device?
[Android Apps and Games] maddog1979:
My above error message was from when i tried to push my framework that ive already extracted using adb not the imei inject program.

You will find your patched framework from the imei program in the same folder as the imei program itself... but you must get it before the program does a clean up or it will delete it.
[Android Apps and Games] nk33:
oh maaannn!! finally managed to get hold of that patched framework.jar file but i am STILL getting error:9

so this is the order i have done all the major steps in

1) copied the sky.sh file to xbin

2) copied my patched framework.jar over to the system/framework folder on device

3) temp un rooted device & installed sky go test 0.1.5

[Android Apps and Games] aliburns:
The important thing here is that if Sky fail to support a user's device they will fail to gain any revenue from that user, with Sky Go they merely piss the user off.

So there is an incentive to replace lame or Apple-centric Sky devs with devs who work to generate income. Whether that will work in the favour of Sky Go as well would remain to be seen.
[Android Apps and Games] sheepybach:
Sky

We all know what is going to happen is that SkyNOW TV will be on all devices and they will keep Sky Go to the small list of devices and then over time more live content will be moved form Go to Now and leave a lot of unhappy customers. Go figure SKY.

Hi all for people having trouble patching the framework I made a folder on desk top called system then in system I made a new folder called framework then it that I put the stock framework.jar so it looks like this system/framework/framework.jar then it zip them up used the program and pointed it to the zip I made

[Android Apps and Games] Zammo76:
That's the first time I've ever heard of that tablet.

Your best bet of getting it working is following the procedure that rickwyatt is detailing. As atm no one has Sky Go working on Wifi tablets apart from him. As Sky Go is checking your devices IMEI number and Wifi tablets don't have thses, so rick's work around is spoofing Sky Go into thinking you have one.

I think that's the jist of it anyhow, but I'm yet to try if on my Wifi Xoom.

I'm going to give rickwyatt's method a go on my new (for me anyway) Tranformer TF101 eithet tonight or tomorrow...will come back on after and tell y'all
[Android Apps and Games] darren1:
rickwyatt's method worked on my Archos 70 I had changed ro.secure=1 in default.prop as im running a custom ROM. Also got my ZTE Racer working by changing ro.secure=1 and changing a few things in build.prop to make it think it was an HTC Wildfire. I have found some ROMS don't play seem to play the codec but CM7 roms seem to be fine, for example my Archos 70 with stock would not play sound but is fine with CM7. My ZTE Skate won't play pictures or sound with stock but apparently does with CM7 so I will try that in the next day or so (with changes to HTC Wildfire build.prop). Im also going to try rickwyatt's method on my Hannspad with a CM7 rom, no picture or sound with my current froyo custom rom. I have been using gumbalds latest apk for all of these and Temp Root Remover to hide root. Big thanks to gumbald for his apk, Lennyuk for default.prop changes, ItsTobias for his method of getting more than 2 devices working and rickwyatt for his IMEI / build.prop changes.

Working on my ZTE Skate as well now. Using CM7 rom (ICE ARMOR III). As with my ZTE Racer changed ro.secure=0 to ro.secure=1.

At the risk of being off topic I want to clear this up.

Sky now is separate to sky tv and sky go. These will remain as are and unchanged.

Sky now is a new service that allows people to pay as they go with content, either on an instant or monthly basis, but you only pay for what you watch, like on BT vision.

[Android Apps and Games] _pigro_:
what kind of fps are you getting on that - I didn't realise that a remote access app running on a phone (even just across your internal LAN) would be able to do more than 2-3 fps at best, and at anything around that level I can't imagine live TV being any fun to watch?

particularly with sports ... it would be like spot the ball!! but I can't really believe that any TV would be worth watching this way?

EDIT - I just took a look at the performance section on splashtop's website & I now see that it is heavily optimised for high fps/low latency ... so I guess you are right and TV would be watchable that way - sorry for doubting you :-)
[Android Apps and Games] Zammo76:
I just tried to download Splashtop remote from Getjar but it won't let me as it doesn't support ICS, gutted.

If anyone can share the .apk it'd be appreciate.

I also have LogMeIn (another remote PC control app) installed on my Xoom so when I have a chance I'll test that with Sky Go.
[Android Apps and Games] sheepybach:
Lenny,

Sky will launch NOW.TV in the summer which will be ppv only with by show weeky or monthly price bands, this will be internet only and on all platforms PC,Lappy, tablets and phones ios android.

Sky tv and Sky go will still be linked but have nothing to do with the new 1. Content not known yet but by the infor out it looks like sky may move live stuff off GO onto NOW.

Hope this helps.

[Android Apps and Games] Zammo76:
Hi Rick,

I've tried your method on my Wifi Motorola Xoom and have a hit a wall. I have moved over my patched framework.jar but when I'm using Sky Go i'm getting and error 9 and also when I use Network Info II its saying my IMEI is Not available.

One place where I think I might be going wrong is when the IMEIme 1.9 program is asking me to enter my tablets IP and port I normally skip this bit and then just wait until the file is on my PC and then use the framework.jar from there and then copy it over to my system/framework folder on my tablet and write over the existing version, i'm not flashing at any point. Is this correct?
[Android Apps and Games] maddog1979:
Exactly where i'm at with my Advent Vega..
[Android Apps and Games] saccuje:
Works perfectly on GT-I9100 with I9100XXLPQ_I9100H3GLP2_H3G. Not rooted.

Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] Zammo76:
Right i'm starting to get somewhere with my Wifi Motorola Xoom I've managed to get the IMEI generator to work and it created a framework.jar which I copied across to my Xoom and I now have an IMEI number (I verified this by using Network Info II).

I'm not sure why it wouldn't work before but this time it asked me to enter some digits that it'd use to create the IMEI number, I just entered the year of my date of birth and then it just somehow generated a 17 digit IMEI number from it.

Very interestingly when I tried to play a channel I got the message saying that two many devices have been allocated to the Sky ID I was signed in with (I've never got this before when trying to play something on my Xoom). So I removed one but then the channel just endlessly buffered but I'm not getting any more errors.

I think I now need to spoof Sky Go into thinking my Xoom has a Simcard too. I'm trying to go by these instructions but I haven't got a clue how to make the required sky.sh file. If anyone knows how to make it, it'd be much appreciated?

[Android Apps and Games] darren1:
I have found you don't need the sky.sh script. Now you have patched your framework.jar make necessary changes to your build.prop and fingers crossed your good to go. Make a backup of your build.prop before making any changes to it.

I have just got Sky Go running on my Hannspree Hannspad wifi tablet, it took me five rom changes to find a rom that plays Sky Go. Some roms definitely don't like the codec used.
[Android Apps and Games] Zammo76:
I'm running gumbolds Skygo.apk which I thought spoofs the build prop, so do I still need to alter it?

If I do what do I use to make the changes to the build.prop file? Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] darren1:
To view the premium channels it seems you need to alter build.prop. I use app called Build Prop Editor, its a paid app but allows you to make multiple backups of build.prop and switch between them.

Here are the changes rickwyatt lists

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23736491&postcount=1405
[Android Apps and Games] Zammo76:
Unfortunately its still not working after I altered my build.prop (I managed to find a free app which did it). I'm still just getting the load bar hanging on 0%.

I will probably give another ROM a go, but to my knowledge there's only a few different ROMs for the Xoom. It could also be the fact that i'm running ICS which is preventing Sky Go working. So I guess I could give an old Honeycomb ROM a go or just wait until Sky gets off their butts and patches the app for ICS.

BTW out of curiosity how would I be able to create a sky.sh file?
[Android Apps and Games] darren1:
Does it play video ok on Sky News?
[Android Apps and Games] Zammo76:
No.

I'm in the process of flashing to a honeycomb ROM, which isn't ideal, but at least it'll show if this method works on the Xoom.
[Android Apps and Games] ffdiablos:
How did you get on? I have a Hannspad that loads the app but sits at 0%. It's running ICS.

I nearly bricked my Xoom trying to get an old Honeycomb ROM working (Manta Ray), I think it was for the 3G Xoom not the Wifi one.

Its OK I remembered I'd done and old nandroid backup of Moray (a Honeycomb ROM), so I flashed this. Unfortunately when I added the new framework.jar file and then rebooted (so the IMEI number would be added) my Xoom bootlooped again.
