[Sony Xperia M2] BusterBg_18:
Its just that i bought one in unefon and it says bootloader unlock allowed=no
[Sony Xperia M2] qvetzalcoatl:
Why this method only works with that compilation?

It's possible that it works with 18.3.1.c.1.13 compilation?

Thank you it works perfectly
[Galaxy S3 Neo Themes and Apps] sk1887:
Excuse me, would you post screenshots?

I flashed the file and I notice no difference in the layout. If I can compare to your screenshot it would be great. My phone keys stays the same blue and contacts are the same.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Themes and Apps] android1111:
Strange...mine completly changed. Unfortunately for now I'm using s6 rom so i cannot make a screenshoot. The dialer should be like this:
[Galaxy S3 Neo Themes and Apps] sk1887:
Thanks. So the color of the keys differ a little from the blue I have? Yeah, I thought it would color the keys white like new updates. So I didn't notice much of a change
[Galaxy S3 Neo Themes and Apps] android1111:
Yes; this is coming soon(in porting):
[Galaxy S3 Neo Themes and Apps] sk1887:
That's kind of great! Very similar to LP

You have a GT19301I? You are on stock ROM?
[Galaxy S3 Neo Themes and Apps] TheForgotten:
Will you update this dialer to the white one? Or is this another dead project?

I'm sorry but I no more own the device so yes, the project is dead :(

[Android Apps and Games] anthologist:
NoStore Updater is an app that lets you check and update your installed apps without using the Google Play Store.

Why and who is it for?

Some people don't like Gapps and would like to get rid of Google completely from their device, but the Play Store is often the most problematic. It becomes necessary to receive updates of the installed apps.

NoStore Updater lets you do it, giving a chance to finally remove BigG Store.

Latest version:

STABLE:

1.1

BETA:

1.5 (uninstall the previous version before installing this one)

Downloads in attachment.

Permissions:

-android.permission.INTERNET : for obvious reasons, check the apps.

-android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: download updates and make backups on your external storage.

Limitations: [Fixed in the 1.5 beta!]

-NSU can't check apps whose version varies with device.

-NSU can't check apps whose version contains letters and other symbols (eg. "1a", "5beta", "orbot-NoPIE")

Tips:

-it's HIGHLY recommended to backup your installed app (built-in feature available), before updating it! I don't have any responsability if you install a wrong version!

-The exclude feature can be used to exclude apps from being checked. This helps reducing traffic to Google or avoid wasting time with apps not available in the Play Store.

-There's an in-app Help section, please read it before asking anything.
[Android Apps and Games] anthologist:
Translations:

Please read this thread.

Known issues:

-if after checking updates the result of an app is still blank, it most likely should be "Varies with device".

Found a bug? Report it with this info please:

-device used

-Android version

-your app list (here or in a private message)

-good description of what happened: does it happen clicking a certain app? Does it happen everytime? etc.

-to advanced users only: bug/crash log

[Android Apps and Games] anthologist:
[MENTION=5107949]killoid[/MENTION] That log doesn't show anything. On your device, go on Settings -> Apps -> Manage Applications -> NoStore Updater -> Clear Data.

Does it still crash?
[Android Apps and Games] killoid:
yes it still crashes.
[Android Apps and Games] anthologist:
Ok so I need more info, because I can't replicate:

-do you mean the "Application info" dialog doesn't show up?

-does it happen with every app? Also exluded/not excluded?

-is NSU installed on the phone or in the SD card?

-can you tell me your app list? Here or in a private message.
[Android Apps and Games] ironman76:
will test it :) cool idea!! Was looking for a long time!
[Android Apps and Games] killoid:
after opening the app when it shows my apps in a list, if i click on any app from the list it crashes. the app is installed on my phone memory. i tried same thing moving into sdcard but no luck.
[Android Apps and Games] ironman76:
same to me, if i press: check for updates, it crashes.[emoji15]
[Android Apps and Games] stalkerg:
Can you explain the technology? This is the replacement Google Play?
[Android Apps and Games] anthologist:
If anybody is able to use adb/logcat to retrieve the crash log, would be really appreciated.

To everyone, added in the second post what info I need to debug.

[MENTION=5107949]killoid[/MENTION] pm me your app list please, and what language is your system set to?

[MENTION=639983]ironman76[/MENTION] it looks a different bug, what device are you using? Which Android version and what language on your system?

[MENTION=532786]stalkberg[/MENTION] it only checks for updates, you can't browse/install new apps with this one.
[Android Apps and Games] killoid:
sorry my pc is damaged & i am only on mobile, so can't provide adb logcat & screenshots now. maybe i will not use this app, just had a little interest, i hope someone else will help. & btw my system language is english.

App crashes (Unfortunately, NoStore Updater has stopped.) after clicking 'Check Updates' button. This happens every time and also with a different apps.
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
Why don't you think with versionCode instead versionName. versionCode can be only in increase order through updates.

Would you consider adding the ability to specify a http proxy? Sometimes I'm unable to make a direct connection to Google due to something on t-mobile's side.
[Android Apps and Games] anthologist:
[MENTION=320962]famewolf[/MENTION]: Ok, in the next version.
[Android Apps and Games] anthologist:
So, the new version is ready but I still haven't released it because I'm "investigating" on how to add a lovely feature too, but I'm not sure it will be possible. Also, I'd like to release the first (final?) stable version as soon as possible if nobody report any other serious bug. If anybody wants to translate the app in their own language in time for the stable version, please just pm me, it's a 5 minutes work.

Edit: New version uploaded, hopefully the last beta.
[Android Apps and Games] anthologist:
Final version uploaded, no more crash has been reported so I consider it stable. Thanks to beta testers!
[Android Apps and Games] souler456:
In latest version. I checked the app if it has an update (Dropbox). App said it has an available update. But, I cannot click the Download (Experimental). But when I select Check All Updates, the Download (Experimental) is now clickable. Why is that? :confused:

Hello, thanks for the app!

Sorry that I may sound noob, but how do I actually go aboard using the app?

I have went thru the scanning progress and found some "update available", and went on to tap on it, and I don't see a "update" anywhere. There is a "download (experimental)" which always download a 4kb file (which is not correct)

Am I missing anything?

I'm running a Xiaomi Mi 4I, lollipop

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] souler456:
Uhmm... Why is that? I would prefer a single check, then download an update if available.. It's kinda hassle to scan ALL of the apps installed, just to download a single update... :/

[MENTION=2210644]mezzaninelevel[/MENTION] what's the app you're trying to update? [MENTION=5075251]souler456[/MENTION] I added the check-single-app feature in the last version and I didn't take that in cosideration, maybe I'll change it one day.

[MENTION=320962]famewolf[/MENTION] Please give the Storage permission to the application in your phone settings, that's a new thing introduced in Android 6. Settings -> Apps -> NSU -> Permissions -> enable Storage. (That's needed for the backup feature too)

Anyway the download service has changed stuff and sadly I can't do much for it. I'll look for other solutions but don't expect anything.

EDIT: both problems fixed in v1.1 .
[Android Apps and Games] anthologist:
Ok, I managed to add a new download service. It was a quick fix so I release it as a beta.

When pushing the download button and if the download fails, theoretically the server is fetching the app. Retry to download after some time, depending on the app size (15 mins should be enough for everything).

Also, downloads on Android 2.x should work correctly now!
[Android Apps and Games] anthologist:
New stable version is ready, added more download services to choose. This way I won't have to fix downloads too often, hopefully.

Edit: the next update is almost ready and has some nice new features. Link to the translations thread: http://xdaforums.com/marketing-analytics/localization/translation-nostore-updater-t3270941

Edit 2: after some hard and crazy code, here is the new beta:

v1.5 beta - dec 18, 2015
-new "Wait Mode" added! All previous limitations are gone!
-better detection of updates
-added in-app checking for new NSU stable versions
-added Help dialog
-updates can now be downloaded when "Varies with device" (at user's risk, read Help)
-translators are now credited in the About dialog
-removed "experimental" label from the download button
-finnish translation updated (thanks Villel)
-italian translation updated (thanks Random)
-other changes

Worth to mention that now the message "Varies with device" is a valid check, so the update can be downloaded but still varies (read Help for more info).

Also, before installing the beta you need to uninstall manually the previous version.
[Android Apps and Games] Dovidhalevi:
Does what it promised. Alternatives have "services" and snazzier displays but offer no download or download using play store.

Bug: Progress bar does not itself work. Only shows app name being checked, stays at 0/***

Questions:

1. What do those download service numbers mean? Maybe some name would be better, known default to system's download manager?

2. Just what is the "wait mode?"

Ideas:

1. Option to download on single app check finding upgrade.

2. Upgrades-only pane.

3. Daily check, WIFI only options, seem standard for such apps.

4. Auto-download for us lazy bums.
