Hi,

I just uploaded my last application to the market - "Scripter"

purpose:

to make it as simple as possible to run scripts in your device

how:

3 options to run scripts

1) scan QR code which code the script as text

2) run files from the sdcard (like any other script program)

3) rerun any script that you ran in the past or save with the application

This application requires 'root' permissions and 'busybox' (all custom roms has is)

if you don't have 'busybox' then you can instal 'BusyBox' application from the market (by Stericson) which will install it for you

so now what?

if you want to help someone to run some commands without the hassle of adb/terminal, understanding the importance of CapiTaliZatIoN in *nix then you can create a simple QR code for the user and all he has to do is to scan it from the application

1 site to create free formatted text QR code can be found here:

http://keremerkan.net/qr-code-and-2d-code-generator/

just select "free formatted text" from "Select a Code Action"

there is no need for overhead in the script (no #!/system/... or any other things) just the commands you want to run

for example the code to change the vending_preferences.xml in order to fix the timeout errors with google market:

or the user can download this file:

http://www.sendspace.com/file/qyqwnt

click it in the android download manager and select "scripter" to run it

the application is free and open source

you can find the code for it here:

http://github.com/dmanbuhnik/Scripter

Please contact me if you have questions, suggestions, bugs or cats
[Android Apps and Games] MontAlbert:
have been using gscript for a long time but that is no longer being worked on.

What plans do you have for this app?

any chance of a scheduler?

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] dmanbuhnik:
the main purpose of the application is 1 time scripts

but!

this is an open project + i'm open for suggestions for features

what would you like to see in the application?
[Android Apps and Games] britoso:
quite useful, thanks.

Can you add an option to delete a script.

Maybe another option on long press to run without root. (normal sh)
[Android Apps and Games] dmanbuhnik:
thanks for the suggestions.

I'm planning to add those new features:

the ability to delete an individual script

the option to install busybox if there is none

set scripts to run after reboot

fix minor bug

still thinking about it - option to run scripts w/o root permissions
[Android Apps and Games] dmanbuhnik:
i updated the application

main new features:

you can new create script manually (hand writing script) by the application

option to export/import to sdcard

delete button for each script

i'm now directing users without busybox to install stericson's busybox application

http://www.appbrain.com/app/stericson.busybox

and more :)

planned:

run script after reboot - still in plan

option to edit scripts

anyone has more features he want to see in the application?
[Android Apps and Games] LordGnat:
I would like to see a way to pass arguments to the script. Maybe the app could scan to see if arguments are called for, then pop up a box asking for arguments before running the script.

That is, if it's possible.
[Android Apps and Games] dmanbuhnik:
interesting,

for a technical point of view is possible to add this feature but can you come up with a use case for it? did you ever wanted to run scripts in android with switches/arguments?

bare in mind that the next version will have 'edit script' option so you can always change your script
[Android Apps and Games] LordGnat:
For example, I download a lot of pictures when I'm bored. I want to write a script which will move all the pictures from the default DL dir (for the app I use) to a specific dir, but put them in a dir I specify when I call the script. Including create the dir if it does not exist. I have tried to write this script, but have been unable to get wildcards to work...

Where might you suggest I look for some tutorials that will work with android?
[Android Apps and Games] dmanbuhnik:
fair enough

i will add 'add switches' to the 'run script' pop up in future release (i'm planing an update after this weekend, depending on my free time i will try to add it in that release)
[Android Apps and Games] LordGnat:
Maybe this idea is a little over-the-top but I would love to see an option to set a script as a widget or app with custom icon. There is an app that does this. Java/J2ME Runner by Netmite. It's free, maybe the Dev would share?!
[Android Apps and Games] dmanbuhnik:
sounds great!

i will add it to the plans, but this one will be in the "far future"...

thx for the features ideas :)
[Android Apps and Games] LordGnat:
Your welcome, glad to help! I'd be happy to help more, but I'm still learning Java... anything else I can do, let me know.
[Android Apps and Games] dmanbuhnik:
version 1.8 is now on market

main new features:

* edit scripts

* stdout and stderr log after each run ('more info' button)

* changeable backgrounds

* redesign script list

* upgrades on the database for future options (running scripts without root permissions, running scripts after reboot)

see in app change log for full list

in plan:

* running scripts without root permissions

* running scripts after reboot

* home screen widget for 1-click script run

* run script with switches
[Android Apps and Games] erez29:
where can I dl the APK file for Scripter?

My Market is patched on the wildfire and still I'm not able to find it.

How to use scripter to install hebrew ?

Thanks !

Screen size problem

Hello,

I can create a new script, but if I long press the script name it opens "Script options" on the border of the screen, impossible to move higher or see the options.

Google Nexus 4 with Android Oreo.

Thanks!
[Legend General] lunatikk:
Hello guys,

I'm having a really weird problem with both google talk and latitude.

A frind of mine is always telling me that my google talk status is "offline" even though I started google talk and can see him beeing online. What's the problem here?

I'm also experiencing some strange behaviour with latitude. Latitude is running on my girlfriends phone AND I turned on GPS. But it doesn't show me the accurate position. It only shows me the position of her within 100m or so.

I really don't know where the problem is.

best regards,

L.
[EVO 4G General] gqstatus0685:
I purchased 2 HTC Evo 4G's on June 4th. I still have until July 4th do return/cancel the lines. I'm having those light leaking problems and my GF's phone is lifting at the bottom part of the screen. I ported both numbers from AT&T to Sprint and want to know what the best route would be to get replacements.

My local RS which happened to be the Point of Sale doesn't have any Evo's in stock nor did they know when they will receive any. I was told by a manager that when they receive more stock they will call me to let me know when I can swap out the devices. I don't believe him being that he stated that even if he gets them after the 30 day period it'll be an easy swap. I think I'm setting myself up for failure and they just want me to ride out the 30 day period so they can collect commission.

I called Sprint today and was told that I have the option to return the equipment and get 2 replacement phones (different models) and that I would have to wait for my upgrade to get the Evo's again. Why would I wait a year and a half to upgrade my phones!?

Is there an escalation path so I can have Sprint send me 2 replacements in the mail and I'll send these 2 back? I don't want to go through insurance since I just got the phones and I refuse to pay $200 to get 2 devices shipped to me when I just got the phones.

I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place and need some advice. I asked the rep if I could return the Evo's and use 2 Sprint phones I already own without a contract and she stated that I would still be on a contract. How does this make sense? I thought that if you own the phones there wouldn't be a contract. I hate calling because I get different answers every time and I don't want to be stuck with the bad batches for almost 2 years.
[EVO 4G General] kwajr:
I m in same boat as you

But Sprint is sending me a new one overnite

Just explained that rs and my local corp Sprint store would do nothing

Sent from my Evo on on the Now network from Sprint

oh and duck Apple
[EVO 4G General] gqstatus0685:
Dude how did you get them to send you one if you bought it at Radioshack?
[EVO 4G General] mitch27:
You bought it at RadioShack and Sprint helped you? I tried this and got turned down. :confused:
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
You do not need to use insurance on a phone for warranty issues. If you are paying for TEP (total equipment protection) you can walk into a sprint repair center (it's important that it's a repair center) and they can go through to see if it's repairable, supposedly they've been taught how to tighten the screen or if they can order a new one for you. It's hit or miss that it could be a refurb but I would raise a stink that you're within 30 days and don't want a refurb but a new phone.
[EVO 4G General] kwajr:
I told them that I went to 3 rs stores and not one would order one for me

Sent from my Evo on on the Now network from Sprint

oh and duck Apple
[EVO 4G General] norkoastal:
You should be able to have your account noted at RS that you want a replacement but there are no phones in stock.. RS is mailing me a replacement within the next 5 days,... They can extend the 30 day return period to 90 days if they do not have the item in inventory. Give it a shot.
[EVO 4G General] bob13bob:
i woudl escalate within sprints phone customer service. say you need replacemetns or you will cancel and get iphone 4. once you want to cancel tehy will transfer you to retentions whom have all the power to retain you as a customer.

do not trust the radioshack manager. be very weary of being able to do anything outside of 30 days.
[EVO 4G General] Plancy:
I want to return mine too.

How bad does the issue have to be for them to consider replacing it?\There is also a bright spot on the phone that is very obvious on a white/light background, it kind of bothers me. I bought from Sprint.
[EVO 4G General] Bp3dots:
RS can order replacements for you right now. No need to wait. Go in and ask, and if they claim they cant, call the district office number that's posted in their store. Easy-Peasy.
[EVO 4G General] Bp3dots:
It's no different for us swapping the bad ones after 30 days, especially with the known inventory shortage. And if the guy says he'll do it, there's no reason not to trust him. The negative attitudes towards store workers is effing annoying.
[EVO 4G General] muncheroo:
actually, expand that to all front line workers. i don't know if it's because they're not knowledgeable, lazy, or downright malicious, but they are always making promises that never materialize.

what i would do is email sprint customer care... they will write you back and then you will have something in writing... safest way to go about doing this. as a backup plan, sign up for TEP... worse comes to worst you'll at least be able to commit insurance fraud, drop $100 and get a new device.
[Nexus One General] audino:
Could anyone do that?!

THANKS
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] Owdy:
Is there cases like this for regular Hero?

http://www.otterbox.com/htc-cases/htc-hero-cases/
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] Zoirz:
I think thats possibly the uglyist case i've seen. I bet it it's main aim is to protect rather than to look nice, they've most probs consentrated on that. It would be nice to see a review.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] Owdy:
Well, these current ones are uglyer: http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/flexishield-plus-skin-for-the-htc-hero-clear-p21308.htm Looks like condom to me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] idroid84:
Have you used one? You can't even tell it's on the phone once it is on. I have one and .... they not ugly ;) Protects the phone like hell! and you also get a screen protector with it!
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] Owdy:
Yes, i got one. Transparent plastic changes brown in corners, hell yeah its ugly :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] andresousa90:
I have been used this case http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/flexishield-plus-skin-for-the-htc-hero-clear-p21308.htm almost an year, and yeah very good protection, but an year use turn the nice trasnparent plastic in a ugly brown plastic...

look very ugly now, so i think that I will buy a new one, but I have some doubts, buy the same case or buy this one http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/capdase-soft-jacket-2-xpose-htc-hero-black-p22496.htm

The last one is a little bit more expensive, but i think that have a little more quality, and was little less transparent that previews one, so maybe the ugly browm don´t appear so soon.

So guys, if some of you have experience with this cases help me choose:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] spooke:
I myself use this, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Plastic-Case-...asesPouches&hash=item335ecf697c#ht_2040wt_911

It's a bargain at that price, its even cheaper if you look around..

Mine was black so it doesn't discolour :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] SiL3nTKiLL:
i got all mine on amazon!
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] silver2kgti:
as did i and i love it... super quality and design. wish i would have had it before i dropped it. one scratch is all this phone has now dammit!:mad:
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] shamhardy:
what do you guys think about this?

[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] btdag:
I think it isn't for the hero...
[Desire Themes and Apps] charliebigpot:
Hi, I hope I'm posting in the right section.. I was wondering wether there is a pure chat application that unites skype,msn and facebook. Basically like Nimbuzz or Frige, just less battery consuming and only with chat function.

Thank you..

charlie
[Desire Themes and Apps] kekkle:
Ebuddy can do Facebook and MSN. Skype is a little trickier
[Desire Themes and Apps] lennshow66:
Fring does skype and Msn :D:D
[Desire Themes and Apps] endursa:
i think nimbuzz can handle all the three :)
[XPERIA X10 General] adrianoftyriel:
Hi, I know I've read of other people having the same problem I'm having where there are apparently missing from the market. Has anyone found a solution?
[XPERIA X10 General] brunswick000:
Which root method did you use? I had the market issues with the first couple of root versions, but my phone and the market are working perfectly now with the latest 3 step version. Im also using market enabler with no issues either. Would consider re-rooting with the newest method. Really doesnt take very long once you get used to it.
[XPERIA X10 General] adrianoftyriel:
I've used the latest R2B020 3 step method (with steps 4 and 5 for my Rogers X10a). Still can't find Pure Calendar Widget, or Tapatalk Pro. I should try enabler...
[XPERIA X10 General] Mobzter:
He's got a point.. There used to be an app before on the market called countouch launcher but somehow disappeared from mine!!

Everything else is perfect though.. removed alot of the built in apps and it runs smooth as ever for me :-)

All thanx to the geniuses who rooted this phone!!
[XPERIA X10 General] synlar:
There is a problem because of the region the firmware's from.

I got market enabler, but there's some apps I want that I still don't see in the market :(

If anyone knows how to configure market enabler to allow stuff from rogers (canada) that'd be great
[XPERIA X10 General] j4mm3r:
Yeah, got the same issues with my X10a. Market enabler app is quite simple really. all it does is use the MCC MNC codes (see wikipedia) for you mobile operator and sets them in some config files (see the wiki on market enabler project hosting website).

There is something much deeper going on here. I had purchased UltimateJuice before rooting with the crappy Japanese Firmware and market was able to find it after the root as well. But, this time around with the R2BA020 firmware... not quite so.

I wrote to the developer of UltimateJuice and he mentioned that Android Market terms forbid some access to rooted/custom firmwares. Personally I don't see how how Google manages to enforce that.

There is certainly some way in which we can tweak around the settings somewhere to make Android Market realize that we are legit. I mean look at brut.all's google navigation hack...

EDIT: I did try almost all the market enabler settings but didn't manage to to see my app. The developer told me that he had create a version specifically for that situation (its called UltimateJuice (Alternate))... lacking more details, I dont know what that means...
[XPERIA X10 General] adrianoftyriel:
Interesting... I don't think root has anything to do with it though because I have been missing these Alps since I flashed r2ba020 originally (the telenor one).

I too can confirm that market enabler does not work. What I'm wondering is if Google is limiting the apps in some way because the firmware us new.
[XPERIA X10 General] Willey1986:
I think it's some kind of market bug. I had the same when I debranded from 1.0.14 o2 to 1.0.16 generic.

After some weeks everything worked fine again. So I think google has to unlock new firmware for their market ?!? :confused:
[XPERIA X10 General] kud0s:
Make sure you system kill (with taskpanel etc) the market after you make changes with market enabler. Maybe obvious, but some may forget.a
[XPERIA X10 General] jajanerk:
i'm having almost the same problem, i tried download the market enabler and and tried to view in market for paid software but cant see any also, i used appbrain i can see a few only but not much at all
[XPERIA X10 General] dink-x10:
I'm also having some problems with the market, before root I had an app called myplayer which was a bbc iplayer app.

Can anyone else who is in the UK check the market to see if you can find this app?
[XPERIA X10 General] FryWalker:
I believe this is dependent on the firmware region that you use to root the device. The myPlayer app is restricted to the UK only, so if the firmware is not officially recognised as a UK build you will not be able to see the app on the Android Market.

-Fry
[XPERIA X10 General] indesisiv:
I am on UK branded O2 firmware R1FA016 and I can see the myplayer app in the market.

I am not rooted.
[XPERIA X10 General] dink-x10:
Thanks a lot for checking mate.

I have now installed Market Enabler, according to it I was already identifying as Orange UK (234-33). I have tried all other UK network codes and still cannot see the myplayer app.

Does anyone have a link to the .apk file so I can bypass the market altogther?
[XPERIA X10 General] Marazao:
Issues

I am another proud owner of a rooted x10a (now x10i)

But I got problems, I cannot sent MMS with the rooted phone, it just looks like im missing an app because, but i don't know where to find it, and I have the right APNs. So if someone can help us out with this issue I'll will be very grateful.

Also timescape is missging the facebook and tweeter plug-ins :-S

You guys are my best shot :P
[XPERIA X10 General] Ungruntled:
Now, this is interesting to me. I tried to do the rooting option, but I got stuck on step 2, which couldn't find my device. So I used SEUS to update, and it let me update to R2BA020. I assumed that, coming through SEUS, this would be an official, unrooted update, as if I was going back to the default (although it came on O2 in the UK with the R_whateveritwas_016 firmware). I didn't like the idea that a rooted phone caused a few issues anyway, but the R2BA020 update has made a HUGE difference to my battery life.

Then I noticed that the O2 branding had gone - not much, just O2 updates in Timescape that I didn't want anyway...

But I noticed that my lovely Death Star Clock was no longer in the market, and MyPlayer also has gone...

Dang... so it seems like my phone no longer thinks I am in the UK or something.

I've got Beebplayer though, which I preferred to MyPlayer anyway.

But, it's a bugger... I LOVED my Death Star clock!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neomagik:
There are apps on a certain website that can only be downloaded using the barcode scanner or by browsing to them on your phone.

If selected they download and install automatically and I can find where the install files is saved.

Every time I flash my phone with a new rom I have to re-download these apps. Does anyone know where they are saved?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
Have you checked your downloads folder on your sd card? You should be able to see your download history via the browser - try selecting Menu > More > Downloads.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neomagik:
Both empty.

All I want are the .apk files for some of my homescreen widgets!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BicycleKiller:
If you used barcode scanner, you can find the history of the scanned links in your menu.

Maybe you can find the other files if you search for apk files on your SD card when mounted on your pc.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Just use one of the many backup programs available on the Market.

Is it possible to use Market enabler now that we have root?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] egyptshun:
I certainly hope so, but i dont fully understand what to do with root
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] brunswick000:
Ya it works. Im using now with newest root method.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] borelis:
Thanks alot. Gonna root now :)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] goth50:
it's kind off topic, but my market shows only free applications, is there a way to set, so i can see PAID applications :confused:
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] ixemun:
Do a little bit of search, there's an app that's called "market enabler" lurking somewhere on the net, it enables you to get access to paid apps
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Mobzter:
Well I got rid of alot of the stuff that I dint really want and I got to install certain things I couldnt before!!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Shiwantha:
Im happy to confirm market enabler is working fine with X10 root.

I can see paid apps and just updated my Google maps using market. :)

Here is the link:
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] MrPappy86:
What customization you are using?

I try many but i cant see paid apps.

Thx
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Shiwantha:
Im using O2-DE,

if you facing problem, go to

Settings/application/Manage Application/market and clear cache before you do selection
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] MrPappy86:
Not work

I clear cache after make a selection (O2-DE) but not work :( :(

I am really sad :(
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] iridaki:
You need to kill Market using a Task Killer and the re-open it for the changes to take effect. Or just reboot your device! ;)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Shiwantha:
Guide:

1.Install Market Enabler application to rooted X10 (you can find download link in my previous posts)

2.clear cache(Settings/application/Manage Application/market and clear cache ) of the market and click force close (just in case )

3.Open Market enabler and go to settings list

4.Long press on any item and select "fake this provider now"

(you will notice operator numeric change)

5.Go to actual tab and click save current settings and close app

6.Open market and check as below screen it works.

Note:

In the steps 4 & 5 you will be prompted for superuser access. allow it.

If failed, try other providers, Im not sure this have 100% success rate.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] flumps:
doesnt work. market place is still extremly slow and still cant see paid apps tab.
