APP crash on HERO???

Hi,
i developed an app ("my days") and it works in the emulator also on my g1 and for quit a lot of users.
now i got a mail from a "HTC HERO" User and he say the app crash from the beginning. (an earlier version worked for him... the new version include widgets and mass of new features, so i dont know where to start searching)
So what could be the prob, whats the different. It makes me quit unhappy, i thought android is compatible to all android devices.
Any ideas?

HTC Hero is not a released phone yet, and tell him to not complain about using unreleased alpha code on his phone.

I do apologize, it was not my intent for this to seem as "complaining", it was only something that occurred and I was wondering if anybody else had run across this issue.
I fully understand that this is a pre build.
But how is anything ever going to get solved if issues are not brought forward.
Paul

thanks
yes.. it looks he used a alpha version or so.. thanks for your reply... i just thought to come crazy.
he answered:
"
so I found out what the issue is and I do appoligise that this was my issue. I ran a program that takes and converts the apk's stored on the apps folder to odex files and the issue is that when I did the update it replaced the apk file but left the odex file and that must have caused the conflict. I removed the odex file and the apk file then reinstalled the v.8 version and all is good.
I do appoligize, I should have done some more research on my end.
"
so finaly it looks he knows a bit about android rooted phones (maybe more than me so may you tell me in short what does this odex stuff is?

odex = optimized dexopt-wrapper, it's supposed to make the phone/apps run faster, especially on appstosd.

ok thanks... even i guess for a simple coder like me i can not really have an advantage from it (from a point of an unrooted user/developer).. or just to learn something new?
because to makes apps run faster.. for sure i am always interested in

/system dump of new Google/HTC phone running flan

Got a chance to play around with this today. Pics of the phone and system dump below.
This is NOT an update.zip, but it can be used to build one in capable hands. So don't go sucking my bandwidth please!

If it helps I uploaded it over at

I've got unlimited bandwidth so hopefully that'll take some of the strain off yours!
Thanks!

Nexus One Dump?
I'm a little surprised this isn't up here yet. There is a dump floating around rumored to be Nexus One. You can find it at AndroidSPIN.com.
Has anyone poked around at all?

It's right where it should be in the Development and Hacking > Android software development forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=600190

I've had a quick look through this and found some interesting files.
Most notably, something called 'GenieWidget.apk'.

When are non blurry camera's going to hit the market? Nice dump though hopefully this will get ported to the Behold II....*cough*

like @wpbcubsfan said there is already a topic about that in the right section : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=600190
New boot animation : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAFSEsEZnnE&feature=player_embedded

Do you try to push the apk in another device or do you think it 'll need some modification of some files ?

They need to be resized and odexed or whatever so it can run on your G1/mytouch or whichever you have. Theres this script in the G1 section that does deodexes or something.

Ace is right. The sizes are to big for dreams and magics. is there even a way to resize the files? also, custom roms are going to become harder now that there are different sizes for phones, but im guessing cyanogen is going to make roms for the neXus

aw, i was kinda hoping that this would be in a .img format so we can load it up and play with it in the emulator

SDK Emulator
Is there anyway I can take this dump and use it in the SDK emulator?

to devs: FIRST ONE TO PORT ISNT A ROTTEN EGG!

Yes, this is the Nexus One.

The boot animation works without modification on the Droid.

Could anyone provide boot.img also

Our guys have been trying to push some of the apk's but not had any luck so far. Has anybody got any apk's from this onto any other build yet?

I tried with my phone and the emulator, but I am a newb. Most of the new apks require Android 2.1 by the way.

if you tried the same method of installing the new maps fex week ago? they modify a file to let G1 thought it was on 2.0 kernel or 1.6 don't remember (system or settings files don't remember) after that the apk works on G1 and we can find it via the market. ask MLIGN he made the change.

T-mobile VoicePlus Beta

So has anyone on here gone into the VoicePlus Beta? A lot of people on there are curious if anyone has looked into rooting the img or extracting the Apk. http://forums.t-mobile.com/t5/Voice...ash-the-Voice-Plus-Beta-ROM-Image/ta-p/325923 Even one of the mods has said he uses Cyanogen and was wondering if anything was going on over here.
p.s. Cyanogen....you ROCK!

why not just extract the apk yourself using an appmanager? the post to forums
complete

Honestly...because I've never done it. ;-) I know not a really good reason, but between school, work and the fam...I haven't been able to take the time to learn. I'm hoping that over my next deployment (I'm in the Army also) that I can learn to create an app and maybe cook a ROM.

Interesting
I like the CityID and the call divert and call defer seems neat - hopefully better visual voicemail than T-mobile's other app.
I'd like to see it integrated in Cyanogen, and SuperD roms

its a waste, dont flash u will LOOSE ROOT

i pulled the system image
ok, I've been picking this up as I'm going... I extracted the nbh file and now have .nb files, but I dont know where to go from here...
anyone can point me in a direction would be helpful. I have SDK installed and can make and start a virtual device.

Android 2.1 stock in update.zip format

Hi All,
I have tried looking in the dev section (please dont flame me lol) but I can't seem to find it. Can anyone tell me if there is a standard GSM 2.1 that I can load onto my hero in update.zip format. I dont mind about having root, but I want to keep the recovery image so I can install custom roms again at a later stage.
Anyone care to point me in the right direction, or tell me im retarded and I cant do this???
Thanks

I did a one before which worked perfect then I took it down because I got people complaining so I redid it... which did not work so perfect so I left it to others.

Thanks andrewb84uk,
That all seems to be working great! Pretty good linpack score too even with standard clock speed.
One other question, do you know what the latest radio version is and where I can get it?
I am running 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26 that i downloaded from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=559622 however that page hasn't been updated since March so I was wondering if there is a newer one that people are using?

Most people will be using 63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.14.zip. As above the ROM is brilliant so if you choose to play with ROMS you can check that one out.

[Q] CyanogenMod RC-1 not all apps working

I'm trying to install all my old apps... Should've backed up the apk's of all of them...
2 I really need
CalorieCounter - Fatsecret (yeah I'm a fatty - wanna dance!!)
Paypal
Everytime I click these in appbrain or the market it says downloading, and then it stops without actually downloading. I've even tried killing the process and re-trying, but no luck.
Can someone send me the apk of these? or point me to the apk?

try wiping market data in settings->applications->market
btw for future reference u posted in the wrong section

thanks for the reply, should I re-post this elsewhere? Don't want to list it like 7 times on the same forum...
FYI that didn't work either...
These two are finicky. Some ROM's they will work, others not so much...

screw it, I'm just gonna go back to the stable mod.

Fatsecret calorie counter appears to have been removed from the market. Don't know why.

It shows fine for me. Installs fine on my Liberated FR005.
For what it's worth, this package is distributed as a zip and not an apk. Here it is if it helps:

Moved to General as not development
