The new App is called Download Buddy. The app should support any android device 1.6 and above. This app is a combination of 2 different services. The first service will allow you to download any email attachment to your phone whether it is supported or not. It will save the file using the original file name and to the directory of your choice. It has support for using rd party browsers for picking the directory or manually typing it. The second service allows you to download any file type using a link in a email or message or from the web browser, again this will allow you to download the file anywhere you want not just the default folder android normally forces you to. It also comes with a download manager similar to the one the web browser currently uses. Both services will save your last chosen directory as the default to save to until you decide to change it. Both services also include an option to automatically launch and or open the file after downloading it.

Does this bypass the file type restrictions for some browsers?
[Android Apps and Games] pentace:
Yes it does bypass the file restrictions. If you do happen to come along a file it does not just let me know and ill fix it
[Android Apps and Games] kekkle:
Does this work with any browser?
[Android Apps and Games] pentace:
That i am not sure of. there are so many out there to try to test on. But technically it should since other browsers are able to catch links. If you find a browser it does not work on let me know and i will see if its possible to add support.
[Android Apps and Games] dadoc04:

From testing this does work with the Default Browser, the Dolphin Browser, & the Skyfire Browser. It does not work with Opera or xScope because they dont use intents for downloading so unfortunately there is no way to make them work unless you speak to those devs to offer an option like to open link in another browser or something similar.

Looks nice, but what is the advantage of this comparing the downloads directly to your diwnload folder? Why should I pay money for something which is working well already on my phone? Please understand I ask this serioysly, I am not flaming your work here...

[Android Apps and Games] pentace:
There are quite a few advantages.

1) You can download any format file not just the ones that you have pre-installed viewers for. So its a Download Crutch.

2) You can choose any directory to download into not just your download directory.

3) It gives you the option to auto launch the download after it is complete.

4) It gives you the option to download files android would normally try to open in the browser as a text file.

5) It is not just for the browser, It allows you to download any email attachment as well.

first of all let me sa u saved me! all i do is download movies while im n class n watch them later..I just rooted and installed ssx on my DX and this function stopped working. so hey whats 99cents n this solved it man,...but the only thing is that it does not work with my dolphin browser? any ideas y not? but it seems to only be functional w my default browser..any input?
[Android Apps and Games] debaucher:
I purchased this app when it first came out and here is my biggest gripe I have:

Even when I visit a web link (a link that goes to a page... not a download) I get a popup asking if I want to use the browser or the app.

If I choose the browser (so that this pop up does not happen everytime I click a link) I no longer get an option to use the Downloadbuddy app. when I actually click a download link.

I then have to reset my browser preferences so that I get asked EVERY time I click on a web page link wether I want to use browser or download buddy.

VERY annoying as I have to touch my screen 2-3 times for every page I open (touch link, choose browser, page opens then choose browser again..... rinse repeat consider uninstalling app but remember that I paid for it so it should work)

If you could fix the app so that it actually only works for DOWNLOAD links, this app would rule.

Just a paying customers 0.00002¢

If I go to twitpic via the browser and attempt to save certain pictures (it works for some, but very few), I get an error in the download process. It doesn't look like Download Buddy is intercepting the download for this type of pic... Is there anyway to fix this???
[Android Apps and Games] pentace:
What is the method you are using to download images from there, and what browser are you using. With the default browser you cannot long press and select save image because that is an internal browser function. But if u long press and select view image it should work. As far as the ones giving you an error is it possible to share a link for a few so I can test them please.

Just bought Download Buddy and can't get it to work. Cleared Browser defaults and it doesn't come up as option when downloading anything. My main goal is to download .mobi and .epub files but I tried with a .jpg and some others and it doesn't do anything. The browser just says it can't download the .mobi and .epub and the .jpg downloads but through the browser not Download Buddy. I have a Droid X rooted with 2.2. Thanks for the help.

If this is the case, then you must be aware that we cannot allow you to sell/advertise this app on XDA under Rules 7 and 11. As you are stating that this is a support thread only, I will let it live as it is allowable under XDA Rules, but if there are any attempts to advertise the sale of it (posting QR code, making Market references to price, etc), this thread will be closed.

Thanks for your cooperation.

Does this app support download pausing/resuming? That's my biggest gripe with the built-in downloader. If it gets swapped out of memory or loses data service, it will say "Download interrupted, cannot be resumed" when I know full well that it CAN be resumed, if it wanted to.

I've been using XWindDownloader (free on market) for the purpose of acting as a download maanger. The interface is kind of ugly and kludgy, but it works great. I can tell it to download a huge file over spotty data, and apart from the battery life as a result of downloading all day long, I have zero issues.
[Android Apps and Games] egzthunder1:
I was not aware of pulser's interaction with you. This is not a threat, but I was merely pointing out the rules. If you are already aware of them... fair enough.
[Android Apps and Games] pentace:
Currently it does not provide a user interactive pause option but it does auto resume as long as its not a special download like megaupload or another service that bases everything over a time based IP system. I would be more than happy to look into adding an option for pausing though. I will let you know when the pause feature has been added.

Does it work to save an attachment in the GMail application?

I have a .gz file attached to a mail but when I click on Preview, it says "Sorry, the attachment could not be downloaded".
[Android Apps and Games] pentace:
Yes it does work with any attachment in the Gmail application. That error is not an error built into my application. That is an error build into Gmail its self. Usually its a bad file, bad network connection or an issue with Gmail. Gmail has to originally begin the fetching of a file in order to pull its information to download, if that fetching fails then you will get that error. It is unfortunately nothing I can do anything about as I cannot alter the code of Gmail. Your best bet would be to try and send the file to your gmail again.

Aye I am aware of it and actually working on the issue as we speak. Since XDA uses PHP downloads instead of specific links it isn't getting caught normally so im working on a work around.
[Android Apps and Games] pentace:
It appears the XDA downloads are failing because it is not recognizing user logins when fetching the file. I am working to resolve the issue.

Dolphin Browser Info.

It has come to my attention that Support for Dolphin Browser is limited to direct download links. What this means is basically any download that isn't a download began using PHP.

An example of a direct download is a file from this website:

http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=passion

An example of a PHP based download is a file from this forum.

This is not an issue I will be able to resolve with any type of coding, but I have emailed the development team for Dolphin to see if they would be willing to work with me to alter their code in this area.

I appreciate everyones patience.
[Android Apps and Games] dboss007:
A couple of things... When I attempt to change the download location, I'm getting an error that I don't have a supported file browser. Would you be able to add support for using Root Explorer?

Also, I had a problem downloading .doc files the other day until I installed QuickOffice. This app shouldn't require an associated app to run the file to be installed, correct? Just wanted to verify that.
[Android Apps and Games] pentace:
Heya Dboss, as far as needing quickoffice. Should shouldn't need any app installed to download a file type but it will require an app if you want to use the preview button. As far as root explorer goes that explorer is very limited with external support I cannot do anything to add support because that app was never designed to support file picking. Some supported ones I know are open intents, blackmoonit, any of the ones dropbox supports. Astro doesn't support directory picking but it does support file picking so I coded it so when you choose a file using astro it will return the files parent directory.

If you have any issues with links like the doc file you stated if you can provide a link for testing it would be appreciated.

Updated***

Added Share interceptor, which allows you to long press a link and sent it to download buddy using the share/send option for 3rd part web browsers that are not 100% compatible.
[Android Apps and Games] evensteven:
Hi,

first of all, nice work!

I've discovered two small issues. First one is that Download Buddy doesn't seem to catch downloads from google docs. To test this, try to download a kernel from here: http://touristinparadise.blogspot.com/2010/11/samsung-galaxy-s-download-speedmod.html

The second issue is related to 3rd party file managers. As the need to have a file in directory with Astro is quite annoying, I tried AndExplorer. The dialog opens fine. But when I decide to press OK to choose the appropriate directory, Download Buddy crashes and throws a FC.

And last but not least my two cents on the GUI. I would like to see a dark theme in the future, maybe a Eclair-like darkgray like many widgets have. It's just the current white style only fits if you use an AOSP ROM or theme. Also a less aggressive "Download Assist" header would make it fit better into the whole Android UI. I somehow don't like when services like this, try to stand out instead of just being integrated nicely.

Also a minor issue with the GUI is, that the buttons aren't aligned perfectly in my opinion. The preview button should be in line with the save and decline ones and I think it would look better if you would center the "pick folder" one besides the field which contains the actual path instead of having it aligned to the top.

Some things might just be personal preference. ;)

Oh, are you interested in translations? I would gladly translate the strings to german, if you send me a pm with all strings needed.

Kind regards
[Android Apps and Games] pentace:
Hello,

Thank you for the feedback.

As far as your comments go...

I was not aware of the Google Docs issue and appreciate you bringing it to my attention, I will work on it to get support as soon as possible.

As for as Astro goes, I apologize but there is nothing I can do to resolve that issue. I put picking a file as a work around. The developer never programmed his file manager to Pick Directories. I have contacted him before about adding support for picking directories and have yet to receive a responce. The best bet would be to send a request yourself, the more they get the better chance they may integrate it.

I will look into the FC with AndExplorer, I have not used that browser for a long time I am sure it is fixable though.

To your point on the Dark Theme, I will work on adding a preference For Light, , Mid and Dark.

As far as the Download Assist header goes if you could be more specific about what you mean to it being aggressive. What do you consider the header? on the GUI or on the activity chooser list.

For the pick directory button it should be aligned, if you can send me a screenshot, it may just not look correct on your phone and I would be able to see what is wrong to resolve the issue.

I would appreciate any Translations, please email me Xapps(dot)Support(at)gmail(dot)com
[Android Apps and Games] pentace:
From what It seems with AndExplorer you need to LongClick the folder so that a check mark is placed and then hit ok. They never coded out if the user doesn't select a file. Ill try to code around it so it wont FC but it will still not allow a file to be picked unless you long press it first

[Trophy General] ghallab:
yes there is a Mod for that, i was asking t he same question couple of days a go and i found the answer by googling it and guess what! i found it in this forum :)

but honestly i can't remember which forum or what i typed in google.

but it works well, when i have a missed call or message, the capacitive buttons lit but don't blink...:)

The green led blinks on a missed call, but has no other type of notifications. Not emails, SMS, tweets or Facebook messages. Red for low battery, green for missed calls.
[Trophy General] NoFatePPC:
pfff , and there is no setup to let it also blink on a SMS?

So now you NEED to turn on the device to see if you have an sms if you have the phone on silent?

Is there an option to vibrate every 10 min or something when a sms is received?
[Trophy General] MrAlchemist:
Yup, abit disappointed you can't turn it on for SMS/Email, but it's better than no visual alerts at all.

I think the best bit abit this phone is that it's few shortcomings are mostly in the software, which can be easily updated... *crosses fingers*

FW for my phone atm is

PHONE:I9000XXJF2

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DamianGto:
I would go to jpm or jpo.

But i would flash jpk with re-partition ticked and pit 512.

Then flash jpm or jpo with NO pit and NO re-partition ticked.

Then i would flash my kernel and use z4mod to convert the filesystem to ext2.

Then you will get the latest froyo and a fast phone.

Then its up to you what you will use later on when you have learn how .gs works.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmo7:
Right, I've just flashed to JPK as you said to do. Is flashing to JPM/JPO as easy or does it require more work?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DamianGto:
Good.

It helps alot.

The kernel i use i got a score around 1750 in quadrant.

But the score is just one thing.

The main thing is to change filesystem to ext2. That give speed and make the sgs feel alot better.
