yes,

if you are a rom developer you can easily use this app to update your rom or release patch or addon.

in the first post you can find a zip with 3 xml, one for configure app to insert on rom and two to upload on internet for info about update, ecc
[Android Software Development] Hiisi:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<RomConfig>
<RomName>Resurrection Remix</RomName>
<RomVersion>2.5.3</RomVersion>
<RomCheckUrl>https://dl.dropbox.com/u/62249445/update_me_check.xml</RomCheckUrl>
<RebootRecovery>1</RebootRecovery>
</RomConfig>

This is what I get from viewing the "update_me.xml" so I guess it's hosted on Dropbox :)

Sounds great with the warning if it's not downloaded correctly but the resume options would also be very useful if it isn't downloaded correctly. But first things first .. Warning is indeed most important.

When I used UpdateMe on an earlier ROM then I didn't follow the download and it's just popped up that it was done. That resulted in me following UpdateMe taking me to recovery and since I always wipe custom ROM's then it was what I did first, before installing the upgrade. Sadly it wasn't downloaded so I had to reinstall an older ROM to get things going again ;-/
[Android Software Development] acquariusoft:
There is some protection with some cwm that allow script only with ROM Manager

as you can see there is no error in the log, so i can't do nothing.

Try to update your cwm for solve the problem

I just can't make it work with slim 4.2. it's constantly fcing and it is so slow when it works...

update: it took arround 40 min to download the 2 fixes for slim 4.2.

I suggest that you start from scratch the next version 'cause using this is the worst experience I ever had in android... luckily I only need to use the app when fixes appear...
[Android Software Development] acquariusoft:
Are you sure there is no problem with online server?

You are the first person with this problem!!
[Android Software Development] jv.batista:
Can't really tell if it's the server fault. Sometimes it open right away, others it just displays the icon an update me text for minutes, sometimes also fc's without touching it...

To see of its the server what you recommend??
[Android Software Development] acquariusoft:
for me is a server problem or connection problem

You must ask to rom developer for have direct link and check if they works
[Android Software Development] jv.batista:
ok, thanks for the help.

I can also try another rom to be sure if its a server problem right?
[Android Software Development] acquariusoft:
right ;D

inform me if other rom works!
[Android Software Development] PFittech:
hi can you tell is possible push config.xml files into to ROM because if is server not responding then app go to FC. If this files will be inside a ROM its will be very fast load download link. Yes i know then I cant edit and add more mods but I dont need.
[Android Software Development] jv.batista:
Yup, the problem is rom/server related. just tried the tiramislim and it's a completely different experience.

This is such a useful thing to have! I started using the Gin2Jellybean rom for the Xperia Play which uses UpdateMe and it is convenient!

I was curious since the app also shows info for the installed applications - are there plans to extend this strategy to work for app updates as well? Like if an app developer didn't want to rely on a market, but still wanted to provide users the ability to easily keep their app up to date?

An example of an app that might benefit from this is SL4A

http://code.google.com/p/android-scripting

I'm not affiliated with them or anything and don't know if they would want to participate but they provide their apk as a download on Google code and I don't know of any market to get it from, so it seems like apps in this situation could benefit from an update configuration.

[Android Software Development] acquariusoft:
Hi, this software is not for auto update app. yes, is possible check if there is a new version of app but this software is think for rom delever and not for software developer that can implement your check new software update in their software.

Inviato dal mio Transformer TF101 con Tapatalk 2
[Android Software Development] Trooper_Max:
Yes, and by that logic, every rom developer can implement update checks in their rom and there is no need for your software either! :P

But yeah, there might be more complications in applying the same strategy for apps, with less value added. But it would be nice if you could open UpdateMe and see if any of your non-market apps need updating (even though it may have to check with several servers for different apps to do so).

I realize it is outside the current scope of your application - I was just asking if there were plans to expand the capabilities to apps as well, in no way trying to detract from what you've already done, which is awesome.

we need only update_me.xml and add a dropbox box or etc. update_me_ckeck.xml but and this update_me_parts.xml ?

Hey guys...

I implemented UpdateMe in the latest RemICS-JB version, but I got a problem with the file download. When I tap on a plug-in or update to install, it downloads it from our server (direct link) successfully and says Download to /mnt/sdcard. But as soon as I look for the file, I can't find it ?!
[Android Software Development] clark44:
Is there anyway to have the default download dir and reboot type (Under recovery menu) changed before my users install the app? Most don't read the thread and wouldn't know you are supposed to change both. Anyway i can change those two options POST flashing the ROM which includes this app?

BTW add FreeGS3 to the list of compatible ROMS since v0.0.8 (Unreleased has it): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1748818
[Android Software Development] acquariusoft:
HI

sorry for delay.

you can set reboottype in the config, see the example with explain.

The default dir for now is not changeable with config.

i'll add in next version

i have also new more ideas to add.

And you? After some time of usage, new ideas to add?

[Android Software Development] clark44:
Thanks. One more request. Can you integrate a system that will tell us developers how many users we have installed the actual ROM? Like CM stats. Install stats.

Thanks.

EDIT: Also, can you add sub categories? For example, in themes, there be another category like stock theme, ICS theme, CM theme ect. Than in there, there can be links. Like if the theme had add ons ect.

Thanks again.
[Android Software Development] acquariusoft:
Hi

installed rom is a little difficult. I can also check downloaded file.

I must write integration with my syte and add more think, but it's possible and i think interested but little long to implement ;D

I think is not interesting.

You can create more category with same start name!

Inviato dal mio Transformer TF101 con Tapatalk 2
[Android Software Development] clark44:
So just add a name line and it will add another category?

Here is my parts file

How can i make this thing add subcategories to my current categories?
[Android Software Development] acquariusoft:
nono, sub category not is implemented.

You can create more tab for simulate sub category!

you can create more section like

- Theme LH

- Theme it

etc

I understand that but how should the line to ads a section look and where should it go?

Also update the examples files!
[Android Software Development] clark44:
I will give it a try. Maybe use it for Goo Manager :)

Any news on sub categories?

Also, any way to integrate this into the settings app?
[Android Software Development] acquariusoft:
Hi,

no, for now no news for sub category ;P

For integrate this app in the settings, you must edit settings app for add a new element and then call this app.

in the 3 post there is an example for call this app from another app!

@acquariusoft: Here's another feature request :)

It would be nice if we could use something like <Desc>http://xyz.com/somefile</Desc> to let UpdateMe download the content that we want to be displayed from the specified url.
[Android Software Development] acquariusoft:
mm, interesting, i can add another tag like <descUrl> for download the description ;D

[Android Software Development] acquariusoft:
Big news for all ;D

i'm developing the version 2 of the app ;D

i need some days to end to develop all and i'll publish the first beta of this version for all!!

The app is totally compatible with the 1.x version but have some configurable extra function.

Finally push notification is here!!

If you register on my site http://win.acquariusoft.com/updateme (soon i'll buy a new easy domain :p ) you can send user real time notification for check new version and send message to user.

Only 3 step:

- register on web site

- register your rom

- add one line in update_me config

and all it's available!!!!

You don't want it? don't do nothing and all work :laugh:as last version

What do you think of this?
[Android Software Development] mikrosmile:
Great job) :good:

But actually i have one problem.. it doesnt reboot to recovery..

If you could make available to reboot through power management than it works..

i had this issue with all similar app.

[Android Software Development] clark44:
Nice! About to register now :)
[Android Software Development] acquariusoft:
If someone wanna prepare your current for future version so the update of app on market when available can enable automatically push notification function, can follow this instruction.

Register on http://win.acquariusoft.com/updateme

Go on "Registered" -> "Rom list" menu

choose a uid (uniqueid) for the rom. Max 16 chars. and insert a new rom name. If uid is already used a message is promped

if it's all ok, you see your rom inserted.

now you can inserted your uid in the config using updateme.otauid in the build prop and <OtaUid>xxx</OtaUid> in the xml

when new version is available if you go to info of rom you can send new version check and message to all users!

Sorry but for now you cannot test is, i hope i can release a beta very very soon!
[Android Software Development] danieldmm:
Far enought, just answome... Thanks
[Android Software Development] clark44:
Hi. Can you give an example of UID? Can it be something like FreeGS3 or does it have to be a random sequence of numbers and letters?
[Android Software Development] acquariusoft:
Hi.

You can use all sequence you want max 16 chars. FreeGS3 is OK ;D

Inviato dal mio Transformer TF101 con Tapatalk 2
[Android Software Development] clark44:
Ok :) I will make it Clark44 and just change the name every time I make a new ROM :)

Edit: Looks like this gives a number of registered clients. Does this tell you how many people are using the ROM?!?!
[Android Software Development] acquariusoft:
You don't need create a new rom for every release, you only need create another if you create 2 different rom.

Yes, number of registered clients is the number of current client waiting for notification, so yes the current using rom

Inviato dal mio Transformer TF101 con Tapatalk 2
[Android Software Development] clark44:
Perfect.

---------- Post added at 08:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:53 PM ----------

Could you work out the weird reason why it won't notify for an update when the update is ima decimal?

For example. My users are using v0.0.9. I update the xml to v0.0.9.1 and only some users get the notification and some get it late and sometimes some don't get it at all.

Any reason you think this happening?
[Android Software Development] acquariusoft:
Some user can't receive notification if use old version.

old version have only 3 number for version and 0.0.9 and 0.9.9.1 are the same. So it must update from market.

For delay the user can set the time to check.if they set 12h it receive notification after 12h. With push will more simple ;)

Inviato dal mio Nexus S con Tapatalk 2
[Android Software Development] clark44:
Hmm. So my UID is "Clark44" and my ROM name is "FreeGS3" on the UpdateMe site. In My XML (update_me.xml) I put a line in like this

<OtaUid>Clark44</OtaUid>

That is right under ROM name which is:

<RomName>FreeGS3</RomName>

All is well? Should I change anything?
[Android Software Development] acquariusoft:
You need only use the same uid.

The ROM name is only for site list and isn't check

Inviato dal mio Nexus S con Tapatalk 2
[Android Software Development] clark44:
So how will the server know which rom to send the notification too?
[Android Software Development] acquariusoft:
The server use the uid, the uid is use to have a simple rom identify, so you can also change the name without problem.

example you have 2 rom with uid:

- ROM_SG3

- ROM_SG2

when you send a message to ROM_SG3 all client with the otaUid in the notification set as ROM_SG3 receive notification.

The version not is important because the server send a check rom, not a new available rom message, so only if an update version is available this is notified.

If someone already have installed a new version because you have send you for test (for example) not receive the notification ;D
[Android Software Development] acquariusoft:
Ok guys!!

new beta is out, test push notification and tell me bug and ideas to improve!!!

Please not insert this in your release rom, this is only first beta!!

if you like my work buy me a bear for this hot days!!
[Android Software Development] TamCore:
Can you add an option like disablescripts etc to use the light theme per default?
[Android Software Development] acquariusoft:
yes i'll do for release 2 ;D

have you tried the new push notification?
[Android Software Development] acquariusoft:
new beta available ;D

@TamCore: see if option works for you!

So push notification works well?if someone can confirm I release a stable version soon

Inviato dal mio Nexus S con Tapatalk 2
[Android Software Development] clark44:
I can also confirm the feature works. It reports registered users, sends messages, and successfully pushes a update check.

EDIT: I restored my old update_me.xml and looks like it still shows 1 user registered. Possible bug?
[Android Software Development] acquariusoft:
if you don't unregister the old registration or flash a new rom you don't lose registration. i'm working on it
[Android Software Development] acquariusoft:
Try if new beta 3 solve this problem.

now if there is no otaid the app check if client is already registered and if unregister
[Android Software Development] clark44:
Can you add a feature? Ok so if i send a long message to the users can they tap on the notification of the message and it opens the UpdateMe app which gives them a popup with 2 options. Reply and ok. One so they can reply to us developers, and two so they can read long messages from devs.
[Android Software Development] acquariusoft:
and reply where? on mail or on web site?
