I love the idea. Here's a thought if it hasn't been mentioned before:

Can this be tied in to the "About phone" > "System Updates"?

I kinda stole the idea from how I update my modded PSP.

So I just tried to see what would happen. This doesn't seem any different. Is it because I have the RC33 1.41 already or was this not implemented yet?

I installed it on the emulator but I think that was ADP 1.1 version.

Is this only working on ADP for right now?
[G1 Android Development] [RiS]:
The application should work on any rooted phone with md5sum binary (see below). It's a regular Android application, that requires root to write the recovery commands.

You can test it on the emulator, runing this when the emulator has been started.

adb -e shel setprop ro.modversion JFv1.41

But the app will fail at md5 verification as there is no md5sum binary on the emulator image.

This property is not persistent so you will have to retype it every time you restart the emulator
[G1 Android Development] Binary100100:
Sorry I think that I wasn't explaining myself too well.

It worked fine on the emulator. It started downloading the update and everything to the Holiday. But my question is that when I tried it on my RC33 Phone (not the emulator) it didn't do the same thing as the emulator did (by bringing up the app).

Sorry... I work nights and it's 4 hours past my normal bed time. :p
[G1 Android Development] [RiS]:
Oh!! you were talking about integrating it with 'System updates' setting option?

Yeah, I was a bit too optimistic when assuring that. It works in the emulator but not on a real device. I believe it's related to the fact that there is no 'update application' on the emulator but there is one on the real images. And for some reason that I don't know, it does not ask the user which Activity to launch, and launches the system's one.

I haven't look any further on that one, but it's still on my todo list (just that its a post-1.0 item :) )
[G1 Android Development] mrnote8:
Did you need some icons made/corrected?
[G1 Android Development] Binary100100:
Sweeeet. Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] [RiS]:
Personally I don't like the 'check now' icon, (actually its the rotate icon), and the 'verify and apply'.

The 'apply now' icon (last screen) also doesn't say too much about what's going on...

Ideally, the icons should have the system L&F, or all the icons should be reworked to have a L&F similar to the application icon.

Maybe I'm asking too much ^_^?
[G1 Android Development] shivers316:
I keep getting "application installation unsuccessful" with this build.
[G1 Android Development] [RiS]:
Are you upgrading from a version compiled from sources / not provided by me (not downloaded from google code)?

If so there is a mismatch with application signatures. Reinstall from your source, uninstall, and install the one provided by me.
[G1 Android Development] shivers316:
Both sources were from you and now I cant install either one.

edit: nvm I got it.
[G1 Android Development] mrnote8:
all you can do is ask. i don't know what your 'verify and apply' and 'apply now' icons looks like, since i guess i'm current and have never been further than the 'check now' screen.. i kinda like that icon.. you're coming from the app icon.. it's nice and clean, but here's just a couple simple directions could go with:

.. or ..

..either way, i'm down for helping tackle this.

Edit: maybe you could send the icons, or screen shots/dimensions of the ones to be replaced.. so I can see where it's at as of now.. if you wouldn't mind
[G1 Android Development] Darkrift:
I purchased and installed dxHome tonight and while its a bit rough around the edges, its not bad at all. One thing I like is that it has working widgets. I was wondering if you would be able to write a small widget for JFupdater to go with this app. The details about writing one are here, and from what the author says you can place the widget inside your app.

http://dxtop.wikidot.com/widget-howto

It could be something as simple as a

[Current 1.42][New: None]

[Current 1.42][New: 1.43]

type thing, or it could just show if a new update is available and maybe a check now button.
[G1 Android Development] [RiS]:
Sorry about that. I've updated the main page of the project with screenshots from the latest version: http://code.google.com/p/jfupdater/

These icons seems to be 48x48px

Sounds like a good idea. Added to the request list: http://code.google.com/p/jfupdater/issues/detail?id=27

BTW,

we are still looking for mirrrors

. If anyone is willing to share some bandwidth please contact Darkrift so he can add it to the mirror list.
[G1 Android Development] mrnote8:
thanks [RiS]. i'll play around with some ideas.

something i've noticed.. screenshots tend to be 1 to 1, probably because of resolution. i move stuff back and forth all the time to try them. anyway, that would make these sit more around 38x38.. ? any way to find out?
[G1 Android Development] [RiS]:
Sure. Here you can find all the icons in the platform:

http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=pl...4;hb=54b6cfa9a9e5b861a9930af873580d6dc20f773c

Taking a look at one that I use:

http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=pl...g;hb=54b6cfa9a9e5b861a9930af873580d6dc20f773c

I can confirm you that they are 48x48

Edit: BTW, the 'Release notes & Apply update' screen was not updated. Is fixed now :)
[G1 Android Development] mrnote8:
Thank you, that'll come in handy.. I'm gonna go browse through.. like your icon :)
[G1 Android Development] [RiS]:
If you want to browse through this will help: http://www.screaming-penguin.com/info/android_drawables/android_drawables.html
[G1 Android Development] mrnote8:
awesome.. thanks [RiS]. you're absolutely right.. they are, indeed 48x48. they just have more space around them. so, your'e most concerned about the 'check now' and 'verify & apply' icons?
[G1 Android Development] [RiS]:
... and apply now :)
[G1 Android Development] mrnote8:
i only see 'check now', 'download', and a combined 'verify and apply'. am i missing something?
[G1 Android Development] [RiS]:
It seems so... Try forcing a refresh (CTRL+F5)

Is this one: http://jfupdater.googlecode.com/svn/wiki/apply_update.png
[G1 Android Development] mrnote8:
ok.. i modified your screens with a simple approach. i haven't had much time to work too much stuff up yet. i only used 1 icon different than you've seen, but i think this works pretty well. let me know what you think. if you like, i can post all the 48x48 icons for this on the project's page. i also don't mind working something else up.

..
[G1 Android Development] big nu:
Is this actually a function or just a screen shot of whats to come? if its a function were can i get the zip.file
[G1 Android Development] Bhogan123:
To MrNote and RiS,

Great work man! I love the look of it and the different icons really make the app stand out. Once this is in the finaly stages and ready to be released to everyone you have my word that i will be using this! Unless its already out?
[G1 Android Development] mrnote8:
we could also do something like this.. and maybe move the checkmark to 'apply now'.. ? and i'll clean it up, if or before we use it..

just thinking..

these are demo screenshots..
[G1 Android Development] Binary100100:
Looking good!
[G1 Android Development] mrnote8:
i didn't have much to do with any of this, but thanks.
[G1 Android Development] deadite66:
the updater failed to install the latest JF 1.43 RC9 build, it tried to download the update twice then threw up an error saying it failed to download.

EDIT:

just noticed a new jfupdater is out, the failure occurred in 3.2.0.
[G1 Android Development] IJMacD:
Woa suddenly all happening at once! Been waiting ages for the T-mobile RC9 and heard it was now out so was waiting for jesusfreke and came across this it seems a fantastic app!

But grrr!! a couple of days ago I corrupted my sdcard so am very much stuck at the moment waiting for the new one to arrive :mad:

Because of this i've been able to test your app from a minority position :p and there are a few things:

Firstly I was notified a couple of times in the night rather than just once

When I got up there was a 'could not check' notification aswell as the new update available notification

Clicking on either notification didn't bring up the app untill i clicked again on the 'new update available' notification just after it arrived for the 3rd time

Finally it force closes when i tried to download without an sdcard in it :p
[G1 Android Development] [RiS]:
Yeah, I prefer this one for verifying :)

Yes, this is expected (to have a notification if the checking fails). Maybe it's better to have just one notification (I mean, update the 'Could not check' notification by 'an update is found' one?).

Maybe it's better to not annoy the user if there is an error while checking?

Mmh, I'll try to reproduce this one

Edit:I believe this should not happen with v.0.4.0, as it should not try to check for updates if there is no data connection. Which version are you using?

That's a bug :)
[G1 Android Development] Darkrift:
Are we still going to incorperate radio upgrades also? If so, let me know what I should put in the txt file (or make a new one) so we can do that.
[G1 Android Development] [RiS]:
I would prefer to launch v.1.0 as it it right now, (hopefully this weekend) and leave the radio updates for next version.

I'm also planning to switch to the XML file for the next version, which will help in this particular case.

BTW, there is a user complaining about the application displaying just the latest version, not all available updates ( http://code.google.com/p/jfupdater/issues/detail?id=32 ).

Do you think it's possible to keep the old updates in the list?
[G1 Android Development] Binary100100:
I agree! Let's say that I want to revert to RC29 (for some reason). I checked "Display downgrades" and I set System Mod Version to "All The Updates" yet after checking all I see is the JF 1.43 ADP1-11h, JF RC33 1.42 and JF RC9 1.43. What if I wanted to revert to JF RC30 so I could be compatible with my favorite theme or app or something? Sure I could just download and rename it to update.zip and store it to the root of my card... but that's pretty much what this app is intended to do for us.

I also would request that the "lite" versions be added as well or at least have an option later on in the future to select or display these updates instead of the full ones. This would apply to a lot of us even though we could just rm the stock .ogg ringtones ourselves after the update has been installed... but once again... this is for the sake of simplicity (and the noobs). I think some would appreciate being able to select an option to display only "lite" versions of the updates as they become available. Perhaps it would be as easy as adding them to their own server (or directory) and just adding the link to the app? Then again since I'm not a dev I really have no idea of what the definition of "easy" really is. :D

This app has come a long way and I'm excited to see the progress that you all have made and definitly look forward to using it in the future.

Thanks alot guys! Keep up the great work!

If its just your digitizer busted they also sale that with flex cable for 169.99
[G1 General] oDeACoNo:
Nice thanks for the links!

Any chance anyone find a place to pick up the dev phone's back cover? I've been looking for a one and haven't been able to find one yet.
[G1 General] pdspatrick:
I would looooooooove one of those -- I'd gladly pay $50 for it
[G1 General] 00civicex:
I Like the DEV Phones Glossy Keyboard, looks good on it. Although that does mean smudges out of this world lol. Have you looked into getting that design inscribed on the back of your cover?
[G1 General] Brutal-Force:
Concerning back covers.

I have already ordered one from HTC to replace my grey one with a black one. Unfortunately they didnt have the white UK one. Why not order a replacement for 15 dollars and have it sent out and painted? I am sure it can't be more than 50 dollars when finished.
[G1 General] Smokuevo:
whats the link to the htc order site for like the battery cover or 3.5 mm plug
[G1 General] P1ro:
:p

my de g1 rulz! got android on the back =)
[G1 General] razor1394:
Finally? This was posted at least one week ago. They don't seem to answer my emails so I don't know what to think. I find the replacements very expensive as well specially the digitizer. Personally find it very hard to wreck the LCD without wrecking the digitizer, which in that case will be very expensive to replace, over 360$. And that's if you replace the parts yourself.

Oh well It's good someone has these replacements parts but the screen has been on Ebay for much less, still no sign of the digitizer.
[G1 General] 00civicex:
Sorry my phone has been out of commission for a while and decided to check the other day for parts and ran up on them. Decided to post the links...Oh well. I bought my bro's broken g1 for 50 bucks and put his screen in mine. Not sure what is wrong with his goes straight to the recovery mode and some keys dont work.
[G1 General] razor1394:
No problem. Good you managed to open the internals of your device. I can't remove the housing from the back. :mad:
[G1 General] mahleek20:
Is it hard to take the g1 apart and put it back together. I scratched the housing and was thinking bout getting a replacement and transferring everything. But im scared i might mess sumthing up.
[G1 General] razor1394:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=468673

Probably not difficult for someone who has opened a lot of phones. This is my first time.
[G1 General] coolbho3000:
That sounds like a ripoff to me. You can get a decent 22" LCD for that price.
[G1 General] 22350:
i agree, it's a gouge.

they know you are stuck, so mark it up 7 times

G1 Replacement Window Lens Digitizer Price Lowered

[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] mikemorris:
So i was just introduced to this program the other day. It works great, i get my e-mails on my phone just a few seconds later. It doesn't seem to lower my battery life much at all, and it was very easy to setup.

http://community.seven.com/main.php

register and download the beta. I've been using this for about 3 days and i've gotten about 50 e-mails through this service and i always check the times and it's never more than a minute later.

I would like to get a consensus about how well this works for others. I'm using Gmail and it forwards very fast.

UPDATE: Just wanted to add, do not install this if you have XpressMail installed on your device as they use some of the same files they both will become unusable.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] lbhocky19:
before i try

how does it work?

is it constantly connected to data? or does it send as a text or what?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] mikemorris:
i knew i forgot something, i've got my Touch pro on a constant Edge connection with constant data enabled. I'm not 100% positive the data connection is needed but i think you do. Other Idle Imap apps, i've tried needed constant connection.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] emmfan:
I've been using this for a while now and it does require a constant connection, but it is a lot less power hungry than other push solutions or even the native POP / IMAP connections. Seven basically creates e-mail accounts within the native messaging application, so there's no need to have an additional application. It allows you to setup multiple e-mail accounts to be pushed, including Google Apps.

And for those of us that change roms regularly, Seven saves your account information (sans passwords) so that you don't have to start from scratch everytime you flash a new rom.

One thing to note is that Seven is essentially in permanent beta, so there will be times when it goes down for upgrades, maintenance or bugs. But that doesn't happen very often and they are usually pretty good about communicating what is going on and when to expect a solution.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Kraize:
Been using this for a year and it's the best! Woohoo! I love this! :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] mistadj16:
I tried emoze, pushconsilient, and web2mail. I like "SEVEN" out of all of them. I get my email on my phone before my outlook does on my pc.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] knife007:
Thanks!!

It's really COOL and i can now check the gmail and even the company mail (OWA)!

Very nice!!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] belsj:
does it do "better"then Emoze?

I use Emoze now for a year and i have no problem.

Does it use less more power?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] belsj:
i've just tested, but i like Emoze more then Seven.

Emoze connects een fast as seven, but now i get also mine appointpents ect. synced.

So i keep it with emoze.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Radimus:
Seven is the dev company that supplies AT&T with Good Mobile Messaging and such. They sell the product (serverside) to the Cell carriers, who inturn rebrand it and "sell/offer" the service to the carrier's susbcribers.

I have been using it for 3 years for multiple accounts... no more desktop redirectors.

It currently uses a data connection, but in the future it will work via SMS triggers
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] ehajj:
gr8 share thank you
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Wordsmith9091:
A few days ago, I started using it for both my Gmail and my company mail (via OWA).

At first, it took a few minutes for new mail to show up in either. Now, I'm finding that new messages in my gmail are showing up almost instantly (under a minute at least), but work messages are taking between 5-15 minutes (I can confirm via the desktop that they are indeed in the inbox).

Anyone else see this sort of delay?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] pencilcase:
is this based on Exchange 2007 aka HTML emails? Doesn't seem to let me into the FAQ's before creating an account...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] scotchua:
I use this service and i love it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] mikemorris:
i'm glad to see so many people who support and use this App, and those of you who don't use it i recommend it.:D
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] pandaboyy:
I tried it for 2 days, I love it... However, since it used data constantsly, it heats up my device badly... so I uninstalled it.

Thanks for the share thou.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] bravo261:
goes this get around the gmail issue where sent messages also appear as new unread emails?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] emmfan:
Seven does not have this problem. Additionally, the sent messages get saved in your sent folder on gmail.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] mikemorris:
Do you keep HSDPA going? I keep it on an EDGE connection and i don't get much heat at all.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Wordsmith9091:
It's a shakey time for anyone who sees this thread to try it out, though. They did some sort of heavy maintenance Monday, and although their status updates say everything's back, I'm not sure it is. I'm seeing big delays in getting my gmail via imap through them. I suspect it will be worked out soon, though.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] fourcc:
it seems that seven only syncs first level folders in Gmail's Imap.

Can anyone confirm it? or am i doing anything wrong?

BTW, it seems to drain a lot my battery, more or less the same than imappusher or having an always on connection + messaging trying to download e-mails every 60 minutes.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] tesna:
@fourcc, you can configure it to sync all folders.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] fourcc:
yes of course, but it only allows to sync first level folders. if i have subfolders, they are not synced.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Wordsmith9091:
I find that seven uses -dramatically- less battery life than routine polling, even just once every 30 or 60 minutes -- but then again, I don't get a ton of messages. I'm guessing whatever it does to keep the connection alive goes pretty easy on the battery, but if I was getting a lot of e-mail, those frequent downloads would probably take their toll.

In my case, the routine polling is often wasteful -- it's making a connection and checking headers (on a pretty big inbox; I'm a packrat) when there's no new mail to grab up. The keepalive seven must put out seems way gentler on my battery.

Oh, they're currently having an issue adding new mail accounts, but it's being worked on. Life in beta!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] pai13965:
I just install seven on my raphael. it works great, thanks! I'm wondering if it would be possible to set send/retrieve to manual or only on the schedule day? I'm in front my desk almost every weekday. I only want seven to pull data only on weekend. It's a bit annoying when I"m sitting my desk having my phone and my laptop notify me that I got a new email.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] mikemorris:
in the setting you can set time of day and which days, you choose the weekend option and choose which days are your weekend days. if you play with the settings, it shouldn't be too far off of what you are thinking.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] pai13965:
Thanks for quick reply! I missed that option, clicked around and found it. Another question, is it possible at all for Seven not to do push email? I'm current using Seven for getting email from my lotus notes (couldn't find anything else that can do this right now). The connector plug in nicely but I don't really the push service. Is there anyway to turned it off totally? I set it to start and stop at the same time, it still trying to get the email by itself. the closest thing i can get it setting it to start and stop by the next hour. It's not that big of a deal but it would be really nice to have.

Anyways, great software!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] kwill:
does the new beta actually still use desktop redirection for lotus notes or OTA? as well, do they still have a separate calendar from the outlook calendar to display ur appts and such in?
