Yeah I know this and google seemed to have done exactly that with the nexus 4. I was saying beings the Verizon gnex didn't get timely updates like the gsm counterparts was because Verizon considered cdma closed sourced and they like to look at what is being sent over their network.

Updated rom's to version Radio 4.16 and Rom 3.15.15

URL: http://julia.online.o2.nl/xda_downloads/xda_software1/RSU_ENG.exe = RADIO upgrade

Hello i was wondering if the above ROM updates will work on my QTEK 1010:

ROM Version:	3.16.13 ENG

Radio Version:	3.19.01

I mean anyone tested if before or managed to upgrade his QTEK with the above ROM versions from O2 and were there any complications!!

:?: :?: :? :?: :?:

Thanks

The ROM Image that you are trying to upgrade is not compatible to your pocket pc.

Here are there differences:

Your device information:

So where is the problem?

It has been answered a few times, look through fora. it's a general pocket pc language change question, but applies to this one too. You need to rewrite the ROM header to match your device. Can be sort of tricky if you don't know what you're doing.

supplier or distributor

Hi,

My advise to you is to try to get the latest rom upgrade from

either your supplier or distributors.

Also be very wary and careful when you got advice from this

forum on where or which website to download etc especially the

one which you do not have any informations if it suit your device

or not. If it is not suitable then after downloading it to your device

it will freeze up and you have to get it replaced. These people who

give advise take for granted everyone who view this forum are

professional like them. They never realise there are lots of new

users of the device that are trying to find out more informations.

Sometimes no warning was given to you when they just give you

the website to download etc.. I am one of those new user and also

I believe one of the victims too. I do support their intetests in this

forum but not the way some of the advise are given. Hope they

got the message. So good luck to you and happy upgrading.

Stock Rom doesn't have support for scripts.

Use any root file explorer and browse to /system/etc. See if you find a folder named init.d . It wouldn't be present.

Question: Would creating a folder named init.d help?

Answer: Nope. It doesn't work that way.

You could use any other stock rom mods like ateeq rom, etc. Just check whether they have ext or init.d script support enabled.

Hey everyone :)

Another app is finished - App Update Notifier: Crowd Edition!

It is basically the same code basis as the original App Update Notifier (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.goddchen.android.x.appupdate) but it doesn't use any third-party APIs or web crawlers

to gather app version information. Instead, it relies totally on the "crowd". Whenever you check for updates,

your app versions are sent with the request and used to update the database. So, once the first user has an update

installed, everyone else will see the update, instantly!

The reason for this second edition of the app is that all the available APIs for app version infos are pretty much

outdated most of the time, sometimes up to 1 or 2 weeks... That's simply unsatisfying for users of an app update

notifier. With the ne strategy, I hope to solve this problem. Let's see how it goes... :)

Privacy notice: The app version infos are transmitted totally anonymous! There are 3 elements transfered for each

app: package name, version code an version name. That's it, no device id, email address, or anything!

Looking forward to your feedback! :)

Grab the app at the Play Store:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.goddchen.android.appupdate.crowd

or use the QR code:

And, as requested, a Drive link to the APKs :)

Re: [APP] App Update Notifier: Crowd Edition

Okay.. umm..

Suggestions/feedback :

1. The app requires to update it's database often since it didnt show update to couple of my apps that were shown by play store.

2. Everytime i changed from update app tab to my installed app tab, it prompted me to either purchase app to remove ads or promoted me with a dialogue box saying it to rate the app. That seems kind of annoying to me at least. Maybe you can reduce the frequency to once everytime the app is opened or something like that.
[Android Apps and Games] Goddchen:
Well, there are currently 10 users ;) Of course, the database will improve once more users are using the app. That's part of the process...

That's definitely a bug, it doesn't happen for me. It should only popup every 10% or so... Is this reproducable?

Testing it now, hope it's better than aTrackdog, which hasn't been updated in years and is showing lots of false updates. You did cram lots of ads into it, didn't you? :D Wished it only showed ads on top or bottom, not both. And yes, rating and removing ads prompt way too often. Nevertheless, it seems to work fine for now. Identified all my Amazon apps which are behind Google Play versions.

Re: [APP] App Update Notifier: Crowd Edition

How do I actually update the apps? When I click on them, I'm taken to the PlayStore where one of two things happens:

A) Google reports the apps are up to date

or

B) the apps aren't found.

I also have AppBrain installed and that's not finding updated apps either.

Please advise.

Re: [APP] App Update Notifier: Crowd Edition

If Google Play reports your apps are up-to-date, means there's no other official version out yet, but there's a beta version or some other version of the app floating around on the internet (developers' sites, forums, other markets, etc)
[Android Apps and Games] Yorkshire_Chris:
Re: [APP] App Update Notifier: Crowd Edition

So I have to manually find the apps that need updating? The article I read stated App Update Notifier uses either AppBrain or the PlayStore to update apps...

Neither of those are telling me I have updates...

Why can't I update from App Update Notifier?

What's the point of the app otherwise?

Re: [APP] App Update Notifier: Crowd Edition

The point is to check if there's a new version of apps. If you only use apps from Google Play, you don't really need it. But if you use apps from Amazon, Handango or apps such as the ones posted on xda that never reach a paid market, you would like to know if there's a newer version available.
[Android Apps and Games] Marx2:
I also have very much false positives. Clicking on app shouldn't blindly go to Google Play, but there should be menu with options:

-Google Play

-AppBrain

-SamsungApps

-Amazon

... (put here all other major stores, like XDA's own)

-Google search (in the form of App.Name Version.Number), maybe with bias on XDA forum

Of course list should be updated with every version of app (maybe in future: user editable?)

And the best would be possibility to search in all of this stores at once for newest version and then report if it exists, but I'm afraid not all stores have API for it, so it could be next step.

I agree some bad person can make himself app with same name/id and install it locally (even developer can do it unintentionally) - so there should be possibility for users to nuke such versions, if after looking for it everywhere it couldn't be found.

But idea of this app is very good, just need some polishing.

[Android Apps and Games] Goddchen:
Unfortunately yes, there is not possibility to directly install another from within an app (Android security...). With root it would be possible, but still, you would have to get the APK files from somewhere...

Check out the latest update 1.0.3. I have added a dialog with different choices to search for the update.

exactly :) Here the new choices dialog comes in handy, because thos forum posts etc will likely be found via a simple Google search :)

As already stated, the purpose is to FIND updates, not to actually INSTALL them. See above, it's simply not possible :(

There might be a prob with the version parsing?

I show an update for Viivo:

Your version: 1.1.3 (4032)

Online version: 1.0.29 (0)

Mine is newer?
[Android Apps and Games] Goddchen:
Strange,

the current logic is the following:

if(online version code > local version code) -> update

else compare version names

compare version names has the following logic:

split the version names into tokens. compare each token of the online version with the one from the current version, if it is lower, no update, if it is equal, go to next token, if it is higher, update!

Therefore I can't quite explain why the above is considered an update. But I will do some testing and check it out!

Another remark: afaik play store can deliver different versions for different devices. Maybe your app should consider the device therefore?

---------- Post added at 12:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:53 AM ----------

And on the other hand some could upload such faked version on any market... Maybe there should be a minimum of let's say 5 installations before a new version comes into the index.
[Android Apps and Games] Marx2:
installation limit seems quite usefull but it could be used later when database will be filled

Next bad report:

SD Maid

Your version: 2.0.2.3 (210)

It seems that it compares 1215 to 210 first

Re: [APP] App Update Notifier: Crowd Edition

I think I've got several false positives for the list of installed apps with updates. It did work for other apps that the app stores didn't notify me about yet. Checking for system app updates seems rather fruitless on stock, non-rooted Android. Haven't had any other issues though.

Edit: It looks like "Words Free v9.81" was a hacked version so the app wouldn't try to update. This would definitely hinder the app version database when it searches against it. http://forum.mobilism.org/viewtopic.php?p=1017676

[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
The versionName i.e. 2.0.2.3 is a string while the versionCode is an integer.

It is pretty difficult to use the versionName to establish an update order, as there is no naming conventions to it, while the versionCode has to increase with each version.

But that isn't the issue here.

2.0.2.3 is the current market version of SD Maid.

There isn't and never was a 1.2.1.5 version of SD Maid.

Unfortunately though there is a cracked version floating around that identifies itself as 1.2.1.5, it contains intrusive ads (push and email notifications) and possibly spyware :(.

Hm so what happened? Basicly what rollingdices and Marx2 already mentioned.

A user had that version installed and send the information to your server which accepted it and tells everyone else about the new update.

Oh oh :(, thats open for abuse...

Some ideas for improvement:

- At least X person need to have a version before the server accepts it

- Additionally send the apps signature to your server, if the new version has a different signature, it is not an update for that app, despite having the same packagename.

- To combat the issue of beta version or developer versions that might have the same version code/name, you could also send the apks checksum to your server

That should already exclude alot of issues.

Interesting app idea :)
[Android Apps and Games] Goddchen:
Hey everyone! Back from the CeBIT, wasn't as good as I expected... :(

This is something that I thought about a lot yesterday. Of course, saving device specific and maybe android system version specific version numbers will drastically increase the database size. Since I'm currently running on a virtual server that I rented 10 years ago, it only has 10 GB space (which is already pretty full). I'm currently looking for good alternatives and once I get one, I will implement this. I'm thinking of adding some setting where you can choose to filter for your specific device model or your android system version.

Your opinion on this approach is highly appreciated :)

This is something that will be hard to do without using any third-party API. How would I get to know that a specific app is a paid app?

See my first comment above.

Those last two points that you suggested are just awesome! I haven't thought about generating a checksum to verify that it is the live version and really tha same version that everyone else is using. This will definitely be implemented! :)
[Android Apps and Games] mykimouse:
Whats the figure in the brackets besides the version numbers?
[Android Apps and Games] Goddchen:
it is called the version code. Basically, you can set for the version name whatever you want, it doesn't even have to contain any numbers at all...

What is important to the Play Store is only the version code, an integer number that HAS TO increase with every new version that you upload.
[Android Apps and Games] Goddchen:
okay everyone,

I have done some quick calculations and I think I need need your help to solve an issue with the possible fix for the false positives:

Currently, 10000 app entries in the database take ~1MB of storage.

So, worst case, there are ~700000 apps in the Play Store -> 70MB.

When we should start to collect device specific version infos, that would make (how many device models are out there? ~200?) 70*200 = 14 GB of storage.

When also monitoring android system version,

when storing it separately, this would make (worst case) 17 more options -> 238 GB

when storing it combined, this would make (worst case) 17*200 more options -> 48 TB

so, the combined storing of android version and device model is out of question anyway. the separated storing might be possible.

But, as already stated, my current server only has 10 GB of storage. So I have 2 options now:

1) Get a new server with > 250GB of storage (which I don't have the money for)

2) Find a way to optimize the database to take less space.

I'm open for ideas on solutions to any of the points! I'd really love to implement this, but that's currently stopping me from doing so :(
[Android Apps and Games] Sp1tfire:
Re: [APP] App Update Notifier: Crowd Edition

Wrong post. Will edit.
[Android Apps and Games] Marx2:
do some things on demand. So after user see list of apps he start "verify on playstore" and do that from his own phone. That way you don't have to store it.

I would also suggest that people with fake version like said SD Maid should receive warning about it after starting app.

And versions not seen for xx days should be removed from database.

But first make available filter for "5 people or more"
