Zedge - Off-topic

You guys seen their new website? Much, much better! I actually like how it looks now. Check it out.
For those who don't know, not that there's many who don't, it's a site where you can get ringtones/wallpapers/etc. for your phone 100% free, no catch, no bs.
www.zedge.com

Can you tell me what is the point of visiting their website? If I want to download a wallpaper or ringtone, I'll just use their app, why care about what their website looks like?

Because there might be people that rather have a bookmarked site over an app

What do you mean? I still don't see the point of bookmarking or visiting their site.

is easier if you install their App from Market
then you can pick sounds / wallpapers directly from it, and sets it into the system settings

Yeah for sure the app is a really handy one. Use it all the time when i get bored, and there are no new roms to try out.

Completely agree, thanks for the post. I would much rather use my laptop to find what I want to download before I spend 2 hours searching the mobile app for it. Not all of us have blazing fast 4g!

I had a look at their website, you guys are right. It is much easier to browse through the website, however one thing I find strange, how come on their website they don't separate ringtone from notification sound?

Exactly! In the time it takes to view 1 page of wallpapers on the app you can view 4 on the website.

I'd imagine because on most phones it doesnt matter. I remember back when I had my Moto E816 I could only use certain file types for a ringtone/notification/alarm/etc., now you can use pretty much whatever you want.

They should add a remote install feature to the website, obviously requiring you to have the Zedge app installed on your phone. That would make it really worthwhile using the site over the app.
I do agree that the site is better for browsing, but the app sets things for you. We want the best of both worlds.

You mean something like the Market where you pick something you want to d/l and instead of downloading on your pc it automatically d/l's to your phone? That would be sweet!

Yes mate - exactly that and yes, it would be awesome. Google would be doing a great thing if they included something like authenticated remote installation in the Android framework. That would get used so much!

Sherpa App from MyTouch 3G

since the mytouch can't be rooted yet, probably not. I bet sherpa is going to be a protected app.
i bet we have this app in the next week because we have the best modders and developers here . The only way this app wont work is if it needs some sort of code and needs to talk to a server.... but i doubt it.
The App Isn't Out, I Believe Its Gonna Be In The Market, Because Everyone That Has The Phone Already Doesn't Have The App On The Phone, And It Said It Would Be Launched The Same Time As The Phone
a quick online search. and you can have the app on your G1.
its a neat idea..but kinda useless, all it does is search near you for food,movies,cafe's and such, same thing you can do with all other type of apps.

All right thanks. I couldn't install it. Says package not properly signed...To the person who said they were able to install it, could you pull it out and post an apk on rapidshare or something? Thanks
To fix the signing problem; simple folks
Uninstall the Sherpa you have and install from the market... looks like something to do with the signing and the same version number but a different signed key.
well i installed it like last week if u want i can upload the .apk

ive never used thedude's rom but from the thread, it says it uses the Rogers camera which i believe is like the HTC camera
if so, then you should get CyanogenMod rom which uses the HTC camera
but if the reason you want to switch to a diff rom is cuz of myfaves, then just go to the apps section and download the non-odexed version of myfaves
Just set up myfaves online so you don't have that garbage on your phone.

[Q] Batt App for 7

Can anyone recommend a good Batt App for 7? preferably something that shows a percentage.
the HTC battery tool is the only one available, obviously that is unsigned code so you will need your phone unlocked. MS hasnt provided APIs for accessing that information yet, perhaps in the future it will open it up a bit.
Is it free program?
aye its free, but your phone must be unlocked to use it, you wont find it on the market place, run a search on here to get find it

Sometimes there's an error retrieving the status of just a single country's status. Refreshing the whole thing just to refresh that seems like a burden on your server to me. Maybe have a little refresh icon next to each country in the list that refreshes the status only for that country? Just a suggestion.
Good job though, thanks!
Nice

Also a feature to add a number of seconds/minutes to automatically refresh. ( most of us know how to do it but a suggestion is a suggestion! )
Also a "notify me" when availiable thingy might be nice. Not with e-mails or anything like that....with rss or a sound maybe?

One thing that comes to mind is a direct link to the device in the Play Store. Or maybe it does this when one is actually in stock?
Thanks ! I just wish that it showed that the nexus was in stock. I now know that I can not buy it anywhere in the world.

There's already a mailer set up for 5 emails , but it uses php function's send() which works REALLY slow on my server and it would be useless with more than 10 emails. I'm looking for other solutions anyway. Thanks for the tip.

A direct link could be very easy to implement but useless as you need to be under the country's IP to view it, and relying on web proxy to link it seems not praticable to me.
EDIT: please advise this as Newsworthy thread (if you wish)!
Updated with "Sort by country" option : http://ludalex.soupwhale.com/n4checker/ - hope you'll find it useful.

Could you perhaps color the availability status? Green for In Stock and Red for Out of Stock?
Makes it easier to see when further away.
Thanks

Wow brother its nice, BTW when i clicks on main refresh button it shows me one result but when i click on specific country refresh button it shows me different result..why so ?
So does this auto refresh or is this just an easy way for us to click the refresh button and check?

It happens when you switch country/device too fast, not giving the time to the previous selection to load.

Its possible the phones will go on sale again by region Australia then Europe then USA /Canada based on timezones. In this case it would give some advanced warning.
Some people are trying to buy out with their own country this means they don't need to have proxy etc set up all the time.

[Q] Best way to create a bounty or ask a dev to help get an app working on lolipop?

Might sound silly but one of my favorite Android games (Jet Set Radio) was never updated to run on lollipop. Sega has instead just pulled the app from the market. The game starts to load but soon crashes. Without knowing anything about development i have a feeling the problem is probably not a serious one and a talented developer maybe able to get the .apk working again

sure, if Sega publicly puts up its source for the game. otherwise, no developer will ever touch it.

That. ^^^
Also, just don't. Don't start bounties, don't create pressure on a developer to do anything. If you want to see what is what, send them an email offering to pay them directly.
Also, if the program/game was popular and they pulled it, then it was probably more than trivial changes needed to make it work again.

Sega is just a terrible Mobile company. They recently pulled many titles some of which still work even without updates on lolipop.
I heard the Company as a whole is focusing more on mobile but with moves like this how? Unless they will rely on the strength of a few key titles (like SonicRush) and say screw the rest

End of life? Some games they pulled were only released for mobile in the last 12-18 months. Unless this was a quick cash in deal on a few high profile games. Make a quick buck and than abandon the title when it comes time to needing an update
