Thanks. I'm working on changing the device identification method to something a little more generic as the OEM IDs for things are all over the place. However the code that does this dies a horrible death on non HTC devices. This leads me into another beta test on multiple devices after I implement this code - with a workaround for non-HTC devices....

support for htc pharos?

hope you consider support for htc pharos in upcoming versions! as the current version lacks it!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] garsim:
it doesn't work with touch dual and i780.... :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] l3it3r:
Sweet. I've been waiting for this to come to the Raphael! I loved it on my older devices!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JukEboXAuDiO:
This would be better if it read what you had installed and told you what was out of date instead of just giving you this long list.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Radimus:
How about you post the device ID with your request?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] neils31:
has there been a problem with DU, I tried about 4 different ROMS last night and DU would not work.

I installed a new (to me) rom this morning and after several attempts the DU worked.

the problem being that it dl's and installs the latest version again and again and again and never actually gets to list the 125 applications.

Anyway it works with this rom, but I thought i would report the problem, maybe its my device ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRCinAU:
Depending on the version packaged with the ROM, there may be an upgrade from 1.x to 2.x, then an upgrade to the latest 2.x version. If DU wasn't pre-packaged with the ROM and you downloaded the latest version directly from this thread, you should (at most) have one update if you happen to download an older version while I'm in the middle of an update.

Other than that, I'm not sure what else to suggest...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRCinAU:
Hi all,

Just to let you guys know that I'm doing some work on the Device Update master server. This means Device Update may fail for the next 1-2 hours giving a message regarding loading the index has failed.

I will post again when server maintenance is complete.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRCinAU:
Todays maintenance has been completed and all systems are back up and running correctly.

Further maintenance will be scheduled in the near future to correct a problem with a degraded RAID array.

Strange, nothing can be selected

Hi all, I have an ATT Tilt/HTC Kaiser (KAIS100 I guess?) and the app loads fine but when I attempt to select anything, the check mark appears then immediately disappears. Tried using the DPAD but same thing.

Weird!

Running Athine WM6.5 NAKED (5.2.21139)

Thanks and great looking program!! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRCinAU:
That is strange. Can anyone else duplicate this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] focosi:
Any plan to support HTC p3600 / Trinity asap ? Thanks !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] the_scotsman:
This is an excellent app...thanks for this!!

I guess as stated above, a good future improvement would be to read versions of current installed apps and show newer ones only or something along those lines.

But this is working great on my Diamond! Thanks :)

EDIT: I installed HTC Wait Cursor...but it doesn't work ? I assume this is to replace the spinning WIndows Wait cursor?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wolverine9827:
UPDATE:

OK, I found that if I click on the program name FIRST, then PRESS and HOLD on the checkbox WHILE slowly moving off the checkbox to an empty area of the screen, it stays CHECKED! This happens whether I'm using the stylus or controlling my phone via my PC using TotalControl. I did find that using the DPAD to move around the selection boxes and pressing the center button does select with no problem. Strange.... but obviously something is at work on my phone and more than likely not with your software. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] onaj:
I tested on my SE Xperia X1i and work OK... show all soft and install work too... thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRCinAU:
Hi guys,

I would like to thank you all for helping make Device Update such a success. Sometime last night we served up our 100,000th application!

The server backend is not passing 10% of it's capacity serving around 4000 - 5000 applications per day!

EDIT: As things happen, there are some new exciting features coming to a newer Device Update soon - and I'll make sure I keep you all informed of what's going on!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vranikx:
ok sirs, i have a two ideas.

I have Raphael (htc touch pro with vga screen) and deviceupdate offering me some programs which are designed for qvga, not for vga. after installing some of them and run, they are so small (small window in corner and everything else is black on screen). So I have to uninstall them and don`t use :( For example htc album, htc action screen etc. Please make it organize to qvga and vga.

If it is possible, make a two choices, first will be> update installed applications and second install new software.

Thank you in advance :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRCinAU:
This feature is already written into Device Update - however I've been told that all the available applications for VGA phones work properly. This being said, if you can give a list of any applications - which others can verify - that only work correctly in QVGA mode, I can deselect them for availability on VGA devices. Sadly, I do not have a VGA device to test these on myself, and the applications I have tested seemed to work fine in an emulator.

EDIT: Oh, and with the updated applications, if an update is present for an application you have installed, it will show right at the top of the screen under an "Available Updates" heading.

Install to Storage Card

Hi, Im using TAIs V10Blue Calm rom and your most recent DU version... for some reason even though I select use Shell Installer the apps still install to main memory instead of the card. I dont get any kind of prompt asking me if I want to install to main memory or card..is it supposed to? Thanks....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] del4:
May have missed it, but I can't find the answer to this question either. Does this app provide an option to save the downloaded/installed CAB files, similar to what AppToDate and Gecko do?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] l3it3r:
NATF is releasing a new ROM this Saturday so I'll go through the entire list before I flash it. :cool:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRCinAU:
Not as yet. SDConfig is installed on most ROMs, and I wish to auto-detect if SDConfig is present, and if so have proper integration with SDConfig.

There are a number of other features I wish to get working 100% first though.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] KK13:
Do you have SRS Wow installed? If so, get rid of it. It screws things up. I had the same problem in testing.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] KK13:
Do tell!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] flippy:
Hi i have a Raphael running elite rc3 and DU sais "your device is not currently supported" and shows no apps. HELP!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRCinAU:
If you can PM me the IP address that your request came from, I can see what the device is identifying itself as and see what can be fixed up. What this means is that your device is identifying itself as something other than what we know to be a Raphael device. If I can track this down, then it can be fixed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] flippy:
Was gonna try now to get my ip into your list and send you a pm with my ip... but now it worked. dunno why though, anyway fantastic app :) :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] del4:
When I tried DU, I downloaded S2P and it installed the QVGA version to my Sprint Touch Pro, a VGA device, so all the icons, etc we very small. Uninstalled and re-installed the VGA version directly and it looks fine now.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRCinAU:
Ah ok. I'll change this in the backend database.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRCinAU:
I've now uploaded the VGA version of S2P to Device Update - so those with VGA devices should find things a little better. Those with the QVGA version installed on their VGA device will see an entry under "Available Updates". This will upgrade S2P to the VGA version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRCinAU:
That would be telling ;)

That being said. I'm just about to roll with an Release Candidate of the new features.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRCinAU:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Prerna:
Congrats for the good work! Best of my wishes for a sound success.

BTW, HTC Magician is finally member of WM 6.1' club. So how about adding it in the compatibility' list?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRCinAU:
After numerous PM messages about how to use Auto-Install and how it works, I've written a quick guide to how Auto-Install works.

It can be found here:

http://www.crc.id.au/deviceupdate/user-autoinstall.pl
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRCinAU:
I've been looking for information on the Magician without much success. I need the hardware IDs for it :)

If you can find them somewhere and PM them to me, I will be able to add support for the HTC Magician. On the Hermes, they are numbers like HERM100, HERM200 etc. They may be similar on the Magician.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jug6ernaut:
Great Update CRC! See you have been hard at work :P
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRCinAU:
It never stops I tell ya! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRCinAU:
Done. Support for the HTC Magician has been completed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] baladev:
Hi

Do you have any plans to support HTC Wizard?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRCinAU:
Quite possibly. I'm away for the next week as I'll be up in Brisbane pulling a farm apart - and here I was thinking I was going to get a holiday ;)

Send me a PM to remind me, and I'll look into this as soon as I get back.

HTC Raphael don't work

Hi,

i tried this software third times. With the new version my HTC Raphael is an unsupported device.

My device is from german vodafone.

Is there a solution?

Huh? The download link works ok here...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] irony17:
I used this one but my blackstone isn't recognized... do I need to modify sthg ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRCinAU:
Ah. Looks like your Blackstone was calling itself something I haven't seen a blackstone call itself before. I've added it's identifier to the HTC Blackstone group and things should now work 100% for you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] irony17:
great :)

just tried & everything went fine...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRCinAU:
V2.1.1.1 of DeviceUpdate now available.

v2.1.1.1 - 07-Apr-2009:

* Rewrote Auto-Install prompting to make integration into ROMs much better. Allows for establishing Wifi/ActiveSync connections for data transfer etc.

I highly recommend any ROM cooks that have included a previous version of DeviceUpdate use v2.1.1.1 or higher in any ROMs people have for download.

This version streamlines the Auto-Install process and adds a lot more information to the process so the user can see what is going on.

It also allows a delay for establishing a wifi or activesync connection for the data transfers. I've also added a button to completely cancel the auto-install process.

A reminder too for all ROM cooks to have an understanding of how DeviceUpdate will interact with your ROM. See:

http://www.crc.id.au/deviceupdate/cook-howto.pl

Thanks, and enjoy :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] omgwiiso:
this ois greattttttt

I've also put together an FAQ on a number of items that I get private messages about.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] afehn:
any idea when the htc trinity will be added to the supported devices list?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRCinAU:
Added the code TRIN100 to the database. Should work on all Trinity 100 devices. I couldn't find any other codes for the Trinity, so let me know if there are more than just the TRIN100.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] afehn:
Thanks, all working now.

Just wondering if there are any plans to add a "Top Rated", "Newly Added", "Most Downloaded" sections? As the number of applications grows it might be useful for finding popular/respected apps, and also giving newly released apps a bit of promotion.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRCinAU:
Certainly, but it's not going to happen straight away. At the moment, there aren't enough Premium accounts to even cover the running costs of DeviceUpdate - which means I have to subsidise things. As I'm looking for work myself at the moment, lately the DeviceUpdate development has slowed compared to it's previous pace.

There are LOTS of features I want to get implemented in DeviceUpdate - however a lot those may take some time - as I have to put looking for income first.

That being said, if you can take out a Premium subscription, please do - as this will mean I'm able to spend more time working on DU (which is what I'd rather be doing!) vs seeking more part time work...

We're currently past 260,000 applications served to nearly 100,000 devices, the servers etc has cost me about a hundred bucks per month, yet received $35AUD in donations + subscriptions since v2 was launched just over 2 months ago :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRCinAU:
Todays changes...

Server Side Changes - 09-Apr-2009:

* Added beta support for HP iPAQ 200/210/211/212/214 devices. Please test if you have one of these devices.

Unexpected Errror download Diamond Opera

I'm using an HTC Fuze with the AT&T Test ROM (v1.95 I think). When I try to download Diamond Opera, I get the following error:

DeviceUpdate.exe

OutOfMemoryException

at

DeviceUpdate.Utilities.ReadStream(Stream stream, Int32 initialLength)

at

DeviceUpdate.FileDownloadManager.DownloadTempFile(Uri source, Int32 initialLength)

at

DeviceUpdate.FrmMain.DownloadApplicationsToUpdateThread()

It's no big deal, but I wanted to pass it on. Thanks for this great app and all of your great ROMs.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRCinAU:
This means your device ran out of RAM while downloading the file. Try to free up some RAM on your device (exit some other programs) and try again....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nautme:
I don't think that's possible. I've since tried a hard reset and still get the error. With the error on the screen, I went to the memory application and show 240.93 MB free Storage and 123.29 MB free Program space. The HTC Quick Menu shows 39% in use.

Any other ideas?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRCinAU:
That's what the crash message says:

OutOfMemoryException at
DeviceUpdate.Utilities.ReadStream(Stream stream, Int32 initialLength)

Does anyone else see the same error happen at all?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SamsungGalaxySamsung:
Damn,

this app looks really functional.

I think this will be THE future device updater.

keep up the good work.

Thank you very much:cool:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nautme:
I guess it's just me. Oh well. I'll download an Opera cab file. The app is great otherwise.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] famewolf:
How do we get apps added?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRCinAU:
If you are a developer:

http://www.crc.id.au/deviceupdate/dev-account.pl

if you would just like an app listed, try asking the developer to sign up - or pass their contact details onto me and I'll try to make contact with the developer to see if they would like to be part of Device Update.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRCinAU:
A big thanks to all device update users.

Today we should hit our 330,000th application to be served to a Device Update user somewhere on the planet.

330,000 applications in 2 1/2 months is very impressive :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRCinAU:
Hi guys,

Been a little while between updates (damn exams!).

Todays work sees the following changes:

Server Side Changes - 07-May-2009:

* Added support for HTC Touch Diamond 2.

* Added another hardware code to HTC Raphael.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Apo11on:
Download link?

the download link for 2.1.1.1 in the first post is dead
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRCinAU:
Works ok here. Please PM me the IP address you made the download request from. I'll check the logs as it could be an issue with your local mirror.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vishalm:
hey m8, could you add support for the Samsung Omnia?

Screen resolution is wqvga.

Would be much appreciated...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRCinAU:
Updates & New Stuff.

I've just gone through and added in 2 new ringtones and updated a heap of applications in DeviceUpdate.

These include updates to A_C's applications and more.

Happy Updating :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dr4g0n75:
i noticed a_c's stuff was updated... yay!

would it be possible to add a "new apps" tree?... maybe leave it up there a few weeks... its getting hard to keep track of whats new and whatnot... currently 106 items available for my tilt :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRCinAU:
I'm currently looking into this...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] liam12189:
HIya could you make this htc touch dual supported thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] c3l5o:
So I guess you need to pay for the premium account to install your apps to your memory card instead... What a bummer...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRCinAU:
Don't guess. Read the FAQ!.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] yhc1126:
it doesnt work .:(

Couldnt find file "\Application Date\Volatile\4900.tmp":(:(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRCinAU:
This means something happened to the application file after it was downloaded. Was anything else running at the same time?

HTC Touch Pro don't work

Hai, great work!

I have a little problem, I have a HTC Touch Pro, but when I install the app, it says Device not supported, I have register succesfull.

I understand not what I do wrong.

I have the the newest Chrome ROM (Chrome_21806_SE).

When I had the xECK29xPS3TPNTF ROM, your application was Cooked in, the applications was ok and works on the same phone.

My Device ID when register was: Touch_Pro

What can I do?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRCinAU:
It seems as though I still need to do some work on the device detection logic in DeviceUpdate. I have another method, but it will only work on HTC manufactured devices - which leaves everyone out in the cold who uses a non-HTC device.

It is on my todo list for the next build, but it might take a little while to implement and test - especially on non HTC devices.

In the mean time, your device ID can be overridden by the ROM cook (something that wasn't documented :() which makes things even harder!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] radiohitec:
Ok thanks for the answer, can I change my device ID, with regedit, with a works one?

I hope I can do!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRCinAU:
I'm not 100% sure as the process for this is 100% undocumented. I've used a coredll.dll function that should return the hardware code. As there are so many of these, it can't be doing things correctly. I have another method in mind, but like I said, it has issues with non-HTC devices.

The new logic will (eventually) categorise the device into a number of different areas - providing a wider support for everyone.

The priorities will be:

1) See if we can read a HARDWARE ID code; if not:

2) Screen res (VGA/WVGA/QVGA/WQVGA etc) and show apps suitable for said screen size; failing that:

3) Give up with some useful feedback to the user.

This means ALL VGA devices (even ones we don't know of yet) will be able to use DeviceUpdate without jumping through any hoops - and without the risk of downloading something that could cause their device harm (ie a driver from a specific model).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRCinAU:
Beta 2.1.2.0 now available to Premium Account holders.

Version 2.1.2.0 - 13 June 2009

* Added detection of screen size as a backup to known device IDs.

* Changed logic for getting Device Model to hopefully be more precice with less variation.

This is now available to all Premium Account holders for testing. When you log into the user interface, you will now notice a new "Beta Versions" link on the left side.

From there you can generate your key, then use Keymaster to download your beta version.

Direct support for beta versions is also available via the Contact Support page. Again, this is only available to Premium Account holders.

Hopefully, from this new Beta there won't be ANY windows mobile device show "Unsupported Device". I look forward to hearing about peoples results with this build.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] philmayhem:
very impressive that man!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRCinAU:
v2.1.2.0 now available for public testing.

After good feedback on the inital testing of v2.1.2.0, I have now attached it for public testing.

This test is mainly for those who currently recieve the "Unsupported Device" message when trying to use DeviceUpdate.

Bug reports are welcome!

Please be aware that this is only a testing release - as such, it will not automatically be rolled out to all users.

NOTE: Premium Account members get access to beta versions weeks before public testing - and get personal support!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRCinAU:
Hi all,

Fixed a minor bug in v2.1.2.0 that caused WVGA devices to not be detected properly.

This now means v2.1.2.1 is now available for testing.

Download now!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRCinAU:
Hi guys,

Just added 4 new ringtones to the DeviceUpdate index and updated S2U2 to version 2.02.

Enjoy :)

BTW: Contact backup/auto-restore is coming along nicely. I've managed to export all contacts + values, now to write the server side code and then the restoring code :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dr4g0n75:
would it be possible to add a *new* category? just so you dont have to go through the entire menu system to see whats new...

p.s. a lot of ppl are having trouble with A_C's new s2u2 2.02... id suggest leaving 1.62 up there too in case ppl need to revert...

thanks and good work...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRCinAU:
Eventually there will be a filter to include the latest 10 applications added and the most popular applications - however this is a little lower on my list at the moment.
