Cant start it in ubuntu 9.10. tries to start with wine, and i dont know what else i should direct it to. I'm fairly new to Linux, so i dont know what to do. Tried the win verson here with wine and i only got a black square with a gray submit button..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] qberty:
You should NOT use a native Win version within a mere windows emulator. It just won't work. Also, I think I have previously stated that I forgot to compile the Linux Universal Print driver that would display things correctly, I'll update my original post with information.

As for the main annoyance in the current Windows build. The navigation has been added and it now won't *seem* buggy any more in the windows version. Before I release a new version I would like to add at least 'User accounts' and 'Comments'. Bare with me, I'm almost done. It gets quite hectic as Exams are coming up and I really should be studying, but I of all leechers understand the demand for just about anything on the internet and people careless how it is done, rather if it's done or not. So I'm trying...

My Mac testers have not reported any problems so far. So it shouldn't be too hard. Later versions I will include bug reporting. Which takes a snapshot of the current application window and sends it with a comment to me.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ododoo:
oh, sorry man, thought you had fixed it! ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] qberty:
No problem, I'll try to see if I can fix it today.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] robocik:
first of all you must right click on the "The Android Database" icon and choose "Properties", then under "Permission" select "Allow executing file as program", after that when you double click it, it will start, otherwise wine will try to open it...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ChillyEli:
Windows 7 Ultimate Edition
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] qberty:
Hmm, you should have no problem. I'm using the same exact OS, and it functions fine, in terms of displaying what I made it display.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] qberty:
Updated The Android RΩM Database to 0.2

Updated Original post with information with a changelog and downloads.

I think I fixed the linux printing issue. (But I probably introduced some more :/)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] robocik:
Hi,

just downloaded and tested linux version... ;)

first its starts like the first version, with just a gray screen and a submit button, nothing more, no list with roms... but now submit button is working, previous was not, a second screen pops up with various fields, i didn't try to submit any rom, just looked at it and ticked some buttons, and they are working... little hard to read the black text on the grey background, but its maybe my laptop...

gonna give you more feedback if i find anything strange.

keep it up ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] qberty:
Thanks man, it shouldn't be ..grey. :/ hmm. Can you take a screenshot?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] fabioccoelho:
Hi, when i click in CursorDroid --> Recommended Radio is show RAV1.6.3.

:)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] robocik:
sure man :) here they are...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] qberty:
I am aware of that CursorSense Radio problem, its not a default Radio set, so it wouldn't display it.

Hmm I see.. from what it looks like, a Font problem.. still linux fails to parse fonts. :/ *sigh*... Have any other Linux distros? It works fine when I test it on YDL for my PS3.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Talderon:
Sorry if this has been suggested, but I didn't read through all the pages here... :P

(yeah, lazy this time around, not normally)...

To help maintain the database in a more automated way, you could use something like a formatted text file that is injected into the database when a Dev uploads a ROM (even make a simple GUI that all the DEV needs to do is click buttons and the file is auto generated).

This way, all you have to do is have something parse the txt file and intert/update the database. :)

Just a thought... :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] qberty:
The method you mention is not really efficient, as it can be exploited. But I have already devised a clean way of updating the database directly from the app using a tunnel. It works fast and gives fast feedback.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] robocik:
I just have Ubuntu with gnome and KDE4, previous screens was in GNOME, this ones are in KDE, mainly the same thing, small differences...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] qberty:
Hmm.. this sucks. If I had a linux device somewhere I could reproduce this and fix it.. I'll try my Ipod :/
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ododoo:
hope you can fix it! Had dual boot untill a couple of days ago, typical! :) Seems awsome ths program, thought of a android app that does the same?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] robocik:
i dont know if it works with ubuntu live cd ...

or maybe install one in VM or virtualbox
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] qberty:
I don't think it would be smart to make an android app that downloads roms.. since most are over 50MB, you might as well just use Wi-Fi or your own internet to download them. But it would look pretty. lol.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ododoo:
cyanogen have a app that downloads and updates his roms. Works perfectly. Have used it with 3g also, takes some time to download, but is worth it i my opinion. But whatever floats your boat pal! ;) Atleast this is better than nothing! :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] qberty:
lol, well thats just to update a single rom on a phone... This program is pretty graphic heavy, which is why I can make it pretty with a nice gui.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Remobero:
nice work

here r some observations/bugs :

1- app still doesn't show on taskbar

2- numpad doesn't work in pass field

3- register was pretty easy which is great but u should use activation to prevent flood

4- first log in i got a msg that i'm banned with appeal/close option. appeal does nothing and close closes the msg i tried reopening the app n logged successfully

5- side/comments window doesn't update when switching roms u to close it n reopen using comment button

6- rating is not on the rom itself it's on the comments .. i think this is not intended

7- closing submit window get the app to background ( first i thought it closes it :rolleyes: )

8- back button appears only on rom specs and get me bk to first step

this is tested on win 7 x64

cheers :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] qberty:
Will never happen, at least not the way I code things.

This is not an issue or bug, I have restricted usage of the numpad to prevent Altcodes of any kinds from all OS's

Did you ever try registering again? If you did, you wouldn't be able to. User accounts are locked to ONE IP ONLY. Thats enough flood prevention I think.

It took me two hours to program a user account system, within the rush, I forgot to compile the appeal plugin. As for you getting that popup the first time trying to login, is you probably tried to log in faster than the account was able to propogate in the database. Take your time, this apps not going anywhere.

Yeah, It annoyed me too after I was playing around with it. I'll make it a global function to update the comments.

The ratings are not for the comments, they are displayed Within the comments, to show which user rated what for that particular rom. I will later make a global rating which averages all ratings by everyone who rated.

I don't understand what that even means :/

Navigation is not completely programmed yet. Theres a lot of unique ID's involved and it requires a lot of my time. (most of which I should be studying for exams)

Good stuff, Aero-Shake & Aero-Peek is wiiiick :)

Indeed. Thanks for the analysis. I will start a new version once someone comes up with new FEATURES to add. (do not mention adb+fastboot, already floating around in my extremely limited brain)

If there are any more things that You *think* are issues, do an analysis. And I will be sure to follow up your analysis with an examination ON your analysis ON my program and prove you WRONG. Just kiddin' :D

kthxbai.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Remobero:
thnx 4 fast reply

can i ask why :confused:? this is very annoyin it's doesn't even appear when alt-tabing or aero tab

i have dynamic ip :p

when u hit close button in the submit window it gets the app behind all other opened windows ( srry don know dev expression for this one .. just try it urself n u'll know what i mean )

i'll digg more 2omorrow for further analysis n let u know if i found anything worth mentioning

l8r :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] qberty:
Well, Until Win7 grant me certain access as NOT a Native desktop application then it may be possible. For now the only solution to this is making it available beside the clock in the system tray when you press minimize.

Ahh, Noted. I'll lock registration to MAC Address in the future then, for now it's not like anyone gains much of anything by registering more than once.

Oh, I get what your saying, It seems that the main window stacks itself backwards and is not the TopLevel. hmm, fixed in the next version.

Please do. :) c ya.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] qberty:
hmm, I do not mean to go grave-digging, but I have restarted this project and am looking for anyone that is interested in populating this database with as much roms as possible.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Bladyle:
Windows v0.2 link didn't work for me.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] qberty:
The links won't work because, I deleted the old database.

I'm willing to remake this from scratch if theres someone willing to help with the database of roms.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dw9906:
I can help to find a bunch of ROMs to add to the database.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] qberty:
That would be great. The database looks a lot better with more roms being put into it. As in... ALL available roms from these forums...

If someones willing to spend their time cataloging and uploading EVERY SINGLE ROM from these forums for Android devices... I can provide some...compensation for your time.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
I'll add and upload my roms if you like
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] qberty:
That would be amazing. I'm going to release a less buggy version soon, and then anyone can help add roms and updates, original authors that want to upload their own roms would get their database account verified so people would trust the upload.

I will provide a direct upload feature to provide unlimited downloads with unlimited speed from a fast dl server.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dw9906:
Just let me know and ill start getting a huge list together. Ill scoure all the forums and gettem all.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] qberty:
That would be pretty cool if you could catalog as much as you can. I'd like this rom database to be full of as much roms as possible with their own direct downloads from my server... I'm sure people would love the speed. With filters and sorting features, it should make this app pretty useful.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dw9906:
Sounds good. Let me know when your ready.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dw9906:
I take it this is not going to happen?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
This is a GREAT idea, and even better if the download links worked!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] qberty:
This will definitely happen. I was just a little busy with some other apps at the moment. I'm now starting on the main interface again, and it should be available shortly.

Also, the older versions are not available to download because I deleted the OLD databases, to allow the newer ones.

The way i've planned this out is pretty simple. People can upload roms/kernels/themes themselves and it'll allow them to edit information about each one respectively towards what they are. When uploaded, and the information is saved in the database, anyone can then download the rom using the program at MAXIMUM download speed. I have a good server, so it should be a walk in the park.

The reason why it's taking so long is because I never thought people actually wanted this to exist, knowing about all the other website rom databases. I initially made it because a desktop application has 10x more benefits including speed, and flexibility when it comes to databases.

So now that people actually WANT this, i'll finish it up and let people populate the database :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dw9906:
Give the green light when your ready. I have about three roms of my own to add also. Ill dig up all the roms I can find also.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tass0s:
will there be a rating system?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] qberty:
Yes of course lol. I wanted to use a thumbs up system, but I decided on using just some nice looking stars.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dw9906:
How's it coming along? Not trying to rush. Just curious. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] qberty:
Pretty good actually, got almost everything set up, just need to do a bit more database functions. Should take a day, then i can put up a new release!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dw9906:
Awesome. Should I start compiling a list?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] qberty:
Indeed you should.

The submission works pretty simply, You fill out a form, and at the end, you upload the zip of the ROM, itll use an FTP connection to upload it. The form isn't really complicated, just asks a couple questions about the rom that the program will display, which are usually the most asked questions.

There will be three categories, ROMS, Themes, and Kernels.

I'm initially going to start out with ROMS. The submission system would allow an authorized uploader to create their own categories (in case a phone has two different models of ROMS like 32A, 32B, GSM, CDMA etc.). I'm sorting out the neatness of it so it won't get to clunky and it'll be easy to submit a rom.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dw9906:
Sweet, I'll get started tomorrow then.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] qberty:
Just a small status update. Everythings lookin' good for the next release. There's a couple new features that I haven't mentioned that i'm ironing out. This will truly be, the best database for android possible.

It supports ROMs,Kernels, and themes right now. Has comments and ratings, download tickers, account control panels, moderator control panels, uploader control panels, uploader statistics, chef statistics, rom/kernel/theme statistics..a really nice feature I want to squeeze in, is screenshotting. A simple click of a button when the phones plugged in, a chef can instantly take a screenshot, no matter the os version, and without the SDK even installed. Supports most of the information in rom threads. It will even install the correct radio and SPL and kernel/theme that is recommended by the chef automatically within the same app in a seamless process that is easy to understand.

The reason it's taking so longs not really the programming, it's more of me deciding where to put which UI element so that it's easy for people to use, and it looks nice.

Free users can apply to become an uploader, or moderator.

Moderators can upload things as well as create new categories when newer things come out. Uploaders can upload roms/kernels/themes and have full access to all aspects of what they upload.

So far, the UI is pretty friggin slick if you ask me. I just hope we get enough uploaders or enough dedicated people to populate this Database.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tass0s:
the spl/radio changing thing sounds really sweet.

But about the dedicated people, lately htc magic section seems a little bit dead..but we'll see.

Will it contain htc magic 32/a,b and dream or magic only?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dw9906:
I would love to be a moderator. I will definetely dedicate myself to populating the database. :-)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] qberty:
That would be splendid! As soon as you register when I release, I can make you a moderator.

As for the variety, I just happen to have a Magic 32A which is why I've been hanging around this section. I should have everyone know that this android database will be ROMs/Kernels/Themes for ANY Android powered phone. Not just the magic. I posted this here merely because I lurk a lot in this forum. I'm sure when I release, a moderator or editor will pin this or move it to the right area.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dw9906:
Ill register as soon as released. Shoot me a pm in case I miss it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tass0s:
have you posted on the general android section?you would get far more supporters there.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] qberty:
lol this is the only section I have posted anything in. One of my releases made it to the XDA Portal. It got pretty popular. After releasing this one, i'd work on iAPK some more.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dw9906:
iAPK is cool to. Nice work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] qberty:
Ran into a small snag during testing, it's my FTP service.

My hosting company FORCES everyone to use FTPeS. Which screws things up in the application when uploading.

If anyone has a spare Fast DL FTP, that I could have access to, and that is able to create accounts for it, that would be great as an optional server until I can get either this main server fixed, or another stable main server.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dw9906:
Wish i could help.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tass0s:
it would be awesome if xda would have its own ftp server to host the roms...that would be easier for you :rolleyes:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] qberty:
Indeed, it's alright, i'll make do.

Most of the UI was done anyway, I just spent a little more time on the function of uploading roms through ftp. It allows me to give the user at least an upload progress bar, as well as some other information.

At the moment i'm implementing the screenshot feature, which pulls the screenshot directly from the phone without anyone needing anything installed (except for the debugging drivers), it would also allow manually selecting screenshots...

I was thinking of allowing a splash screen for each rom. So that a chef could upload a nice banner looking image to show off their rom... don't know if that would be wanted...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] qberty:
Damn, never thought i'd say this so soon, but i'm finally done v 0.5 !! Massive improvements. I skipped a couple of non-issues to speed up release. This will be mostly for uploaders and moderators to add categories and upload roms. More stuff comes as I get a better server. Hopefully a donation or two could help me expand on the FTP server.

Uploading the release now. Will update the first post when it's up and ready.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dw9906:
Awesome.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dw9906:
Still uploading?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] qberty:
I figured i would attach it to the first post, but I guess i'll resort to uploading it to my forum, that shouldn't take long at all. it has quite a small file size for the amount of resources i stuffed into it. lol
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] qberty:
Annnd Updated to version 0.5!

This release is mainly for users who want to be uploaders/moderators. PM me after you make a request in the app itself :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dw9906:
Ill check it out and sign up after i wake up. Just got home from work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] qberty:
Wicked, and just to let anyone know, it's a little buggy being a beta build, but 90% of what i wanted working is working. Should be a walk in the park from here, with simple updates.

Off to iAPK.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] arekmelerski:
Hello,

Thanks for this app, i apply to moderator , but if i try upload rom (all fields are completed) then i have always: failed to upload the file, please try again.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] qberty:
There are a couple of problems with uploading when it comes to the app. Firstly, you should check if the server has space for the ROM by going to http://0m3ga.net/aromdb/cron.php which counts all the files on the server and tells you how much space is left in MB.

Since the uploader is using FTP, it sometimes glitches, to properly upload your ROM ZIP file, when you start the upload after selecting the rom, keep playing with the category list as you wait for the rom to upload. Just simply select a category and rightclick to go back every 2-5 minutes to keep the FTP connection stable... i'll fix that for the next release. Right before you "Save To Database", you can select the category you want the rom in. If the category accepts ROMs under it, then the Save button will be enabled.

The next release will have the following fixes:

+ Fixed Comments System

+ Fixed FTP Transfers

+ Kernels Enabled

+ Themes Enabled
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dw9906:
I tried to sign up but i couldnt get the app to do anything. Also can u make a linux version please. My internets out so ill get to work as soon as its back up and get roms uploaded after i get signed up and you make me a mod.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] qberty:
I'll make a linux version then.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dw9906:
Thanks because I use linux as a main os.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] qberty:
Linux version has been uploaded here:

http://0m3ga.net/forum/downloads.php?do=file&id=9

Note, any bug in the windows version is also likely to be in the Linux version... or not.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tass0s:
the project is dead?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] qberty:
No it's not. I just moved it to another forum for my newer Phone, the HTC Raider.

If someone from this forum wants to keep the database for it updated with HTC Magic ROMs, then be my guest. You can get it from here:

[HD2 General] mofei1:
Just a heads up for those who want to use fring on their HD2.

If you browse to www.fring.com/cab and install that cab to your phone, fring should now work. Unlike previous versions where the program wouldnt load, this seems to be working perfectly, even with htc sense enabled. :D

I'm running 1.61 ROM but have not tested on any others.
[HD2 General] arvi007:
Thanks ..

Works fine for me now ..

Not working on Rom 1.48

After installation, clicking on the icon does ... Nothing ....
[HD2 General] dgtel2:
It does work on ASIAN 1.48 stock ROM. Just need to reboot the unit. The major problem is it sucks up the battery like no one business. On my i780, Fring is battery-friendly. Back to Palringo for now until Fring.com resolve the battery issue on this particular unit.
[HD2 General] liamR:
Doesn't work here. WWW 1.48 stock ROM.
