Don't know lenny how can we find that out? I'm running ICS on my S2 4.03 standard phone. If something needs looking at on my phone tell me what and I'll do my best to get it to you.

No matter what you say or try to do about Sky they will ignore it as their Mantra is "They who must be obeyed. lol it's a pity that group don't carry out a DOS on sky lol

Meh :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] Restorer:
How can free be not worth it :confused:.

Fair enough, if you don't have a sports sub it will probably have little appeal.

Interestingly, Sky's research is showing most people have been using Sky Go (not just the phone apps) in the same room as the main Sky box. In other words people are seeing it as a kind of same room multiroom!

I must say it is quite useful to be able to keep an eye on some sporting event on the laptop or phone while watching something else on the main TV.

Coolest of all though has to be watching live cricket being beamed from half way around the world to my bus into work - and with pretty decent PQ to boot :D.

F.O.I.

If we want to know for sure if sky have got some sort of exclusivity deal with apple at the expense of us android users then why doesnt someone submit a freedom of information request to sky regarding all correspondence with apple? They would have to show us by law. Then we would have some real proof (or not) for the reasons that sky are giving android users such a poor service.

4.0.4 problem

Hi everyone long time lurker first time poster

Would like to say thanks for helping to get sky go working however since I have updated my galaxy nexus to 4.0.4 from 4.0.2 sky go no longer works I have tried both 1.3 and 1.5 of the .apk and am stuck at the 0/100 screen with nothing happening

Hope to see this get resolved soon

[Android Apps and Games] Zammo76:
Thanks alot! I managed to get it working on my HTC Desire on the stock browser and Dolphin HD and also on my Motorola Xoom on the stock browser, its still CTD on Dolphin HD even with pop-up blocker switched off. But ts not a big issue as I can just use the stock browser instead.

Getting back to Sky Go I'm thinking of giving the method I posted a while back of creating a real IMEI number a shot on my Xoom. As hopefully this will fool Sky Go into thinking I'm connecting to it using a compatable mobile phone.
[Android Apps and Games] carrotts:

You don't need the digits for the archos 101 as you are trying to spoof a compatible devices IMEI number. I believe the IMEI numbers posted earlier are the first few digits of the Samsung Galaxy S2.

I'm also hoping for this, using 1.5 cracked app it lets me login but when I pick a channel I get error code 9 - it doesn't load up at all. I'm using the latest cm9 build on the touchpad, presuming it's a problem with that but other video apps seem to work ok so unsure.
[Android Apps and Games] Zammo76:
I tried the IMEI generator for use on my Motorola Xoom but it didn't work. Rickywyatt (the guy who worked out this medthod), then suggested trying a real IMEI number from an old phone. Heres his medthod (but I'm yet to try it):

I did it manually, go here

http://code.google.com/p/smali/downloads/list

And download

baksmali-1.3.2.jar rename to baksmali.jar

smali-1.3.2.jar rename to smali.jar

Make a folder on desktop drop the two jar files in to it then open cmd and cd to it then open framework.jar with winrar or 7zip move the classes.dex to the same folder that the two jar files then type this:

Java -jar -Xmx512M baksmali.jar classes.dex

Then you will see a folder in the folder you made you see a folder called out then look for a file called android\telephony\TelephonyManager.smali

Then open it note + and look for the imie number that the imie tool gave you eg 00

Then replace it with the real imie then save and exit then type this into cmd

java -jar -Xmx512M smali.jar out

This will produce a file called out.dex. and rename it to classes.dex then open 7zip and over wite the original file

I was able to do all of this but the IMEI tool gives me an error regarding circumventing the purpose of the program by creating a generic IMEI... :(

Has anyone made any developments getting this working on a 4.0.4 Galaxy Nexus GSM? I'm running latest MCR.
[Android Apps and Games] Zammo76:
Can you not get the IMEI Generator to work?
[Android Apps and Games] Deviner:
Nope, won't work for me. It gives me an error (which seems quite common based on posts on the thread of the creator) about circumventing something using a generic IMEI etc...

I think the IMEI generator generates an IMEI for you based on your serial number of your device...

Unfortunately I think, as a result of, my ROM/Kernel is incorrectly reading my serial number.

If I do adb devices, my serial is something like abcd1234567 .. :rolleyes:

So I can't really test this properly as I can't "spoof" my IMEI.

I've tried grabbing the framework.jar before the program does the 'Clean Up' at the end and getting the IMEI info etc but I dunno if what I'm doing here is an issue or if I need a generated one etc... that's a whole different thread unfortunately I think.. :)

Hard to work around this SkyGo thing if I have lots of issues along the way so I don't know if the issues are causing the SkyGo problems or if it's just SkyGo copping that I have a wifi tablet.
[Android Apps and Games] Powereh:
Got it working on version 3.2 & 3.3, Using the voodoo rootkeeper app. Kernel is 3.0.15-i9100XXLPS-CL294511se.infra@SEP-68 #3 & Baseband was NELP2. Android version is 4.0.3 though. Test app 0.1.5

Still having problems getting it working on ASOP/AOKP builds though. I think it has something to do with superuser I'm not sure, I can't remove it without root & I can't hide root without superuser lol, But then it could be the android version I guess. I've tried all the test apps included in here & rc1 & rc2 of siyah kernel & codeworkx newest kernel.
[Android Apps and Games] Zammo76:
What tablet are you trying to get Sky Go working on? If you want I can email you a framework.jar file I create from the IMEI generator and then you can use it to put in a real IMEI number.

I'm yet to attempt this method (inputting a real IMEI number) so there's a good chance it won't work. I'll probably attempt it tomorrow.
[Android Apps and Games] combat goofwing:
Would love to get it working on my Asus e pad transformer
[Android Apps and Games] Deviner:
I'm trying it on a Hannspad using the TeamDRH ICS rom/kernel.

I'd say 1 problem is ICS though as others have gotten Sky Go to work on non-ICS roms on this thread from what I gather.

I'm not sure if I want to downgrade purely for SkyGo though as this is by far the best rom available for the Hannspad imo.

Thanks for the offer for the framework btw ! I'll pm you my email address and I'll give your framework a go and see what happens :)
[Android Apps and Games] darren1:
TeamDRH rom has a dummy IMEI built in so no need to generate one. I have been unable to get Sky Go to work on this rom either. Think we will have to wait until they support ICS and another modded apk.

SkyGo on an SD Card Android build for an HD2 device?

Has anybody else tried to to get this app working on an SD card build (on an HD2) or am I the only one?

I can't find any posts on the subject either here or on the HD2 Android SD Development forum...

I'm using a build based on a Desire Rom and that seems to get me past the 'device not supported' hurdle.

With Sky News I get a 100% download bar, but the 'streaming error:37'.

With other premium channels, I get a 'doesn't support rooted devices' error.

I've hidden root using Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper, but suspect that it does not work properly on SD builds.

Anybody else working on this...? Anybody got any ideas...?
[Android Apps and Games] Deviner:
Ahh, I actually noticed this when I checked Network Info II for my IMEI but thought the IMEI gen had somehow done that - that explains it!

But with that being said, wouldn't it be very easy for Sky to just block that one IMEI?

Also, does the IMEI have to be correct for the type of phone/device? As in, do we know if Sky can recognise if an IMEI (the DRH dummy one for example) is not right for the particular device you're using seeing as I've edited my build.prop to look like a Samsung device etc..
[Android Apps and Games] darren1:
Sky probably could block the one IMEI, im not sure if its one number for all TeamDRH installs or if one is generated on install. With regards correct IMEI for device Sky Go works fine with my Archos 70 wifi tablet with a generated IMEI so I don't think its an issue.
[Android Apps and Games] Blondblueyed_girl:
Just to let you know I had the same problem on my hd2, news working OK but nothing else
[Android Apps and Games] johnkst:

[Android Apps and Games] simpsim:
Had to restore 4.0.2 stock to use Sky Go app. Rooted also but root hidden with rootkeeper. Couldn't get it to work with any iteration of 4.0.4. Guess this is more of an app issue than any of Sky's blocking efforts.
[Android Apps and Games] CR5N:
Check the ro.secure setting in your build. I'm on nand hd2 but that was the final change to get it working.

[Android Apps and Games] Deviner:
Hmm, I've read a few links on changing ro.secure...

I'm using antibytes kernel (drh4hanns11oc) and want to change ro.secure - I don't suppose anyone has this kernel already packed with the change?

Following this post but seems a bit daunting as I'm not entirely sure what I should be doing or how to even start!
[Android Apps and Games] darren1:
You shouldn't need to do anything with antibytes kernel. Check your default.prop file mine is already set at ro.secure=1 with antibytes kernel.
[Android Apps and Games] johnkst:
Thanks CR5N!

Thanks for that! CR5N!

I've given it a go (it's much easier to change default.prop on an SD build) and I got Sky News working a couple of times, but premium channels still throw a 'not allowed on a rooted phone' error.

I'm still getting the Error:37 regularly on Sky News though - first time after boot (and editing default.prop) seems to work and then subsequent attempts throw this error again. I'm wondering if the error has perhaps more to do with my internet connection or my streaming software than the SkyGo app. I might try a different version...

I'm going to play about with different combinations of changes for a bit. I just wanted to give you some feedback to your excellent suggestion. Appreciate it!
[Android Apps and Games] Deviner:
Did you hide your root with Rootkeeper or something similar before trying SkyGo?

As Lennyuk posted earlier, these are some of the known requirements for it to work properly:
[Android Apps and Games] johnkst:
Appreciate the help, but it's still not working...

Thanks for your suggestions, Deviner.

- device and os (work around use the test apks in this thread). [Johnkst]The SD build I'm currently using seems to satisfy the Sky device checks as I no longer get the 'incompatible device' error since I started using it.

- ro.secure=1 in kernel (work around use stock kernel or modifiy a custom kernel). [Johnkst] I've made this modification in default.prop, but not in initrd.gz as I didn't think this would still be necessary after already modifying the default.prop file after booting. Just to remind you... I'm using an SD build, not a custom ROM!

- root (work around use ota root keeper app or if this doesn't work use root hider, or an unrooted rom. [Johnkst] Yes. I use Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper as recommended.

I still have the two issues:

1. Sky News only works first time after booting my phone and making the above changes. If I stop it and try to re-start it, it throws an 'error:37' streaming error and tells me to re-start the app.

2. The premium channels still throw a 'rooted device' error.

Does anyone with a working app happen to know what version of the video streaming app (if that's what it is) they are using? I'm kind of wondering if updating mine to a newer version might fix the 'error:37' streaming error...

Hi all

I have not visited this thread in a while but have now updated my UK (CPW) sim-free SGS2 to ICS and find that I can still view SkyGo channels on my phone :) :) Why is this please as I am curious?? Let me explain.......

Originally I was running Android GB 2.3.4, unrooted but subsequently rooted using cf-root v 4.2 kernal. To get SkyGo working, I flashed the Stock kernal (this preserved my root) and using a skygotest.apk (sorry I forget which one) from this thread along with Voodoo to hide my root, I was successful :) I have never messed with the Rom which was and still is the stock.

On 18th as soon as ICS was released for XEU and CPW CSC's, I upgraded via Kies knowing I would lose my root. However I thought that SkyGo would not be compatible with ICS?

Has something changed - have I missed something - or what?

TIA
