I'm a little confused as to what the output format of the getDeviceNameAndOS() function looks like - can anybody work that out?
[Android Apps and Games] Squiggle:
Well ... From the code it's pretty easy to see how they're calling the MAKE/MODEL/VERSION etc ...

Not quite sure how they're determining if a device is rooted.

Can you please only post if you have something to add to the discussion, not a post saying how do i get this working on my rom.

To be helpful follow this guide:

1) Try this APK out if the one on the first post doesnt work (Also

thank gumbald for his hard work here while you are there):

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22801668&postcount=555

2) Check this spreadsheet (thank lennyuk for the spreadsheet management):

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AnLqAJT56SsbdGI2QWJYV1dodFpaWWk3QnkxLWNxN0E#gid=0

look for your device, check to see what info is available for it if its found.

3)If you cant find your device And/Or you have more up to date info fill in this Form:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dGVDOXNockJRanJZcEtmNWdEemVIdUE6MQ

4) If you have something useful to add like, "I got Sky working after flashing this rom found at this xda thread" then post here detailing what you did and what android device this worked on, otherwise keep this thread clean please.

5) If you are having issues with 2 devices only on Sky, check here for a possible solution:

[Android Apps and Games] gumbald:
There might be a way around this - not sure where that check is being performed yet. Not saying it is possible, just there's a chance.

The Sensation XL does seem a curious thing! Any errors? Have you entered the details into the spreadsheet?

Please!

The fix for wi-fi only devices did kind of work, but it's produced a different error - will have to keep looking at this.

Hi, yes put info into spreadsheet, can login okay using the skygo_test.apk and select the stream it them tries to load, it shows 0% 0/100 before jumping straight back to the the Sky Go home screen and then it reloads the channel list, strange! No errors appear, just an infinite loop, select stream then bounced back to home screen, reload channel list and try again, no channels work.

My concern here os the kernel version. It just doesnt look right. Obviously the phone is rooted but i'm thinking I need to do redo it or flash a new kernel which I have not done before. Kies says this is the latest firmware as well :(. Bar the root though its all stock.

Help at all?

Hi guys, this is my first post, but, I want to crack this as much as the next man. My SGS2 does virtually what everyone elses does. To begin with it came up with the error 26. Now it just sits at the loading screen, left it like that all night and it never budged. Sky news works fine.

Deleted and reinstalled the app 4 or 5 times as per sky website forums, still doesnt work.

The test app also does exactly the same thing.

My phone details are as follows:

[Android Apps and Games] shortylfc:
So desided to install a new ROM (CheckROM RevoHD V6) on my sgs2 to see if it would make any difference from VillainROM 3.0

Went with the above rom as it runs on same OS version (2.3.6) and Kernal (XWLA4) as the Ultratoxic 8.0.2 ROM that people seem to have had success with according to the Compatibility List.

Got the ROM installed, installed Sky Go & the hide root app and tried the app... still no joy.

Getting really annoyed at Sky now :(

Still dont understand the logic behind Sky not allowing this app to be ran on rooted devices! :'(

Any1 working on SGS2 and need a tester drop me a PM

Anyone with an I9100 sgs2 should have no problems providing you follow these steps.

1. Download the test apk from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1506967&page=13 post 129. Install it.

2. Find the correct STOCK kernel for your current rooted kernel. Just check what your current one is and android version and look here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 Read through the list and download the appropriate one. Then flash pda using odin.

3. Download OTA Rootkeeper from the market, install and run. Hide root.

4. If you still have issues, go to system settings, apps and clear data from the sky go app.
[Android Apps and Games] nozzla:
No not tried that. I forgot to mention this is on my htc desire running K900's aokp ICS rom. So it must be bypassing the ics check.
[Android Apps and Games] naturbo2000:
For my Galaxy S2: instead of step 2, I downloaded the appropriate ChainFire rooted kernel for my ROM (KH3 for Modaco Gr5) - from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399

Easily flashed via ClockWorkMod rather than using odin.

After running OTA RootKeeper, SkyGo works for all channels via WiFi and 3G :D

btw - this is using Sky Go app from the market rather than the modded version from this thread.

We have made progress since this, but it raises a different error now. Still working on it!
[Android Apps and Games] Sklblue:
I've given the voodoo OTA rootkeeper a go and then downloaded the sky app and it still sat in the loading state.

Guess I need to try the kernel flash (currently 2.6.35.14_r3-stablethalamus@Tc-99#1) too. As I'm a fairly new to this (not rooting and flashing ROMs :) )can anyone point me to the kernel for a Virgin mobile HTC Desire? I looked through the list in the thread above but it's a little difficult to follow.:o

It's a lot of work for something Sky could have made clear earlier though. An unrooted Desire probably wouldn't have space for this app if there was much else installed.
[Android Apps and Games] GingaB:
I wonder if changing kernel will make any difference on a rooted HTC Desire? I am running XJ MIUI rom on my phone, baseband is 2.3.7 and using 2.6.37.6-cyanogenmod-g8913be8 android@portatile custom kernel. Anybody else on MIUI? Id love to know what stock kernel I should use on MIUI??

Edit: forgot to mention OTA rootkeeper and official/modded sky go app didnt work for me...
[Android Apps and Games] Zammo76:
I have it working for my rooted HTC Desire using the stock ROM. You need to download Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper and hide root first (very important) then install the skygo_test.apk. Then once you log on you should be able to watch all channels. I was quite lucky as I have an old restore (before I installed a custom ROM), so I can just switch to this when I want to watch Sky, its a bit of a pain but it works.

[Android Apps and Games] spacemonkey101:
I've got Sky Go working on my stock but rooted SGS2 using the Sky Go test version and then using Voodoo OTA to hide root.

I'm not sure exactly why its working for some and not others with this method. Could it be due to service providers adaptions that have been made to some of the handsets? Mine is a tMobile SGS2 so has been messed about with by tmob (i.e. the standard issue of OTA updates don't work).

Just a thought but maybe worth considering...

Just as a heads up I tried an HTC Flyer ROM with the phone support still in it on my wifi only tablet. So it was showing 'No Service' and had the phone dialer. Unfortunately this still didn't fix the 'unknown error' that appears on wifi only tablets so I'm wondering if some kind of 3G over wifi emulation might be required as the check doesn't appear to be related to the ROM or build.prop.

Tried running 0.1.3 test apk on my Advent Vega running HoneyIce 3.2.7 RC3ChimeraEdition ROM.

App installs ok, runs ok. Signed in, get the "unknown error" message.

If I plug in my 3G Dongle (as well as WiFi enabled), it will play Sky News but all other channels hang at 0% loading. This suggests the app is checking for the presence of a mobile radio device.

The device also shows up in Manage Devices on Sky website as Android device.

Used OTA RootKeeper, results are the same wether rooted or unrooted.
[Android Apps and Games] casper6391:
Because of multiupload closing down and a distinct lack of mirrors for 2.3.5 stock kernel you might be better off reflashing a new firmware based on 2.3.6 and then flash that stock kernel on top as it is easily available.
[Android Apps and Games] Zammo76:
I have a Motorola Xoom running nightly ICS Wingray as well but if I try to use the skygo_test.apk an Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper and stream a channel I just get and error saying "Sorry, an unknown error occured. Please try again"

so I dont think that it is ICS related...

Hi,

I have a motorola xoom device with wifi & 3g on Honeycomb 3.2

I get to the 0% loading screen and then get a warning Media Streaming message.

You need to be in a Wi-fi hotspot or have an Internet data connectivity link.

So no need to downgrade back to Honeycomb.

On a different matter, As a matter of interest, is there much improvement on ICS overall for you?
