[Q] New Market?

new market update? does anyone have any idea if this can be implemented by end users, or whether it will need to be cooked into ROMs?
see article
http://phandroid.com/2010/12/11/android-market-updated-serious-changes/

I am presuming that it will be delivered to us as an updated version of the android market app. once it is released.

here is the .apk it was posted to the HD2 dev forum earlier.

I was able to get it running on my HD2. Looks very nice!

its working with my desire hd rom

Can anyone put up a mirror for the .apk?
[edit] NVM... saw updated link.

works on coredroid's HD rom

Just thought I'd chime in & report that they're apparently pushing the new market out already. I went to download some apps earlier & found the new market on my phone. It seems a lot faster than the old market.

So it got pushed to your phone? You didn't have to install it?

Yes, mine was pushed onto my phone just now. The Market looks much nicer and is more informative than ever before.

I've installed on my hd2 with mdjay's revolution build but i can't get every app anymore like the official paypal app. I'm on vodafone netherlands. If I install marketenabler with the same vodafone settings in other builds just don't matter. (20404)

Mine too.
Think you just have to enable the accounts & sync background data and voila it gets updated unknowingly through data so wifi should not be a problem as well.

[Q] New to XOOM and a few questions

Hi all
I am getting to like my XOOM now but am experiencing a few issues and hope someone can help me out with some info.
First and foremost ... do we have any communications from moto or google regarding time line for an update? In particular for the sd card and also far more generally for the whole honeycomb experience.
Next, the ebay app, the market tells me it isn't available in my region (uk) in the same way the bbc iplayer app does. I know the bbc one isn't available yet but am struggling tto confirm if that if the case for the ebay app.
I have seen a few screenshots that seem to suggest that the market can be filtered for tablet app? I cant see how ... perhaps I imagined this feature?
Some of the time I am finding the overall responsiveness pretty poor and I can't ally work out why. Anyone else getting similar issues?
Lastly ... in writing this post I have made afew typos and correcting them has been a nightmare with the text selector arrow and the cursor getting misaligned ... normal or just me?
Thanks for any info

Last I did read some news about SD card update, it said that the update is imminent, no idea what this actually means.
About your last question, yes this happens to me also.
Sorry, I can't help you with the other questions.

As far as the Sd card update I have asked that question on the moto forum and all i ever get back is that they are drafting an official response about the card, but that was about two weeks ago that they said that. Guess it takes two weeks to put out a response about a SD card that devs here already got working. Of course no one knows whether it is Googles fault for not releasing the source or Moto's for not telling us what is going on. I would count on getting it working maybe when the 4gLTE upgrade is rolling out.
As far as the market I have no idea sorry.

Next thing ... while awaiting any more concrete answers to the other stuff ...
The "darkness " of honeycomb and android generally is all well and good as a differentiating design feature compared to iOS but really I think a "light " theme would go a long way to improving the overall feel. I guess though that is something only root and a few tweaks will offer? I don't get it, before phones got "smart " a big thing was the ability to theme them but now there is next to no flexibility :-(
Also noticing a lot of widget lag when waking the device ... and I have 2 mail widgets as I have to gmail accounts ... at least one of them spends a lot of time "empty " awaiting an update, is this also standard for other users?
Thanks again

Edit ... any tango users? Getting upside down video between iPad2 and my XOOM? Can't find a setting ... affects both front and rear camera?

Zinio app please!

Some reviews I read mention the Zinio app. Mine doesn't come with it... does anyone have the Zinio app on theirs? Mind uploading it somewhere please?
Thanks!

Found mine on nexus one forum. The newspaper portion doesn't work. Magazine portion is rather low quality. Its 3 different apks needed. Don't know if there's a tablet version floating around but if so would be interested as well.

This xoom post has the files I tried it on my iconia A500 worked like a charmed.
All credit goes to hhspiny and kevin majlo they tweeked the apk's so there's no Fc's.
Edit: as of 5/31 its on the market place get it there.

Zinio has just been officially released for Android - Honeycomb devices only:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.zinio.mobile.android.reader&feature=search_result

I am using Zinio on my A500 and loving it.
Installed it straight from the market. All plain sailing and happy days.

Ahh, finally!
I've tried all the other ones floating around but they keep complaining that my time/date could be wrong, or asks me to upgrade to a new version.
The official one from the market seems to work so far! Now, if only the A500's lcd screen was 1920x1200...

i do have a premium 4shared account, i think i can allow someone to upload a file - which i'm happy to do - if someone could advise me how i actually go about doing that, filesharing aint something i know alot about

Info from the Acer Facebook page says we will get the update 17th May. As its so close, may pay to wait and get the real deal just in case the releases floating around are not the final for us

actually Acer ANZ posted last night that it was now available to NZ and Aussie

awesome.... wonder if they've fixed the issues from the first release....
yeh they roll out the ota according to the build version number

Anyone else get it yet?

Nope not yet for me.
*twiddles thumbs aimlessly*

Ok, just got the update notification now downloading 1% done

I just got the notification too.
I'm in Melbourne. it's on 2% only after about half an hour. My guess is that the servers are struggling

Got my upgraded just now. Soo far so good. Just testing out the apps and features. Gmail app is crashing a bit. Keyboard lag is much better

just woke up to find a download ready. Reasonably quick, guess not many people on at this hour If it fixes keyboard lag and nothing else I will be happy.

All installed and no issues so far.
Wifi good.
Bluetooth good.
No screen flicker issues.
App drawer is smooth scrolling in either orientation.
Keyboard lag seems to have gone.
All up, very pleased.

Wots the build no. Can any one tell me pls
I still looking 4 update.zip if anyone has captured it.
many thanks

Mine is Acer_AV041_A500_1.031.00_WW_GEN1

Yup, it's downloading for me now as well.
My Build No: Acer_A500_7.014.15_COM_GEN1

Well I've been using my A500 with ICS all day now. Absolutely love it! Feels like a brand new tablet! Factory reset got rid of all the junk I had accumulated, and ICS just feels so much more polished and complete.
No issues at all apart from browser sync (but I'm using chrome beta now anyway so I don't really care)

[Q] Which Linux-XBMC Firmware for dualcore Geniatech Android Box

What is currently the best Linux-XBMC firmware to put on a ATV520 or ATV1200 Geniatech Android Box?
There are a few around.
The One from croniccorey on this site here Its a great job but still just a few issues. The wifi and the crackling at high volume scenes. I hoping to see the update from croniccorey soon. Great work so far
The Jynx one here.
And the geniatech one. here It also has info on the Jynx one.
What have people have the most success out of?
Or are there other ones.
Cheers
PS Hope this is in the right section.

I believe that all three are the same version, with different name.The Geniatech works well and is the official.

One thing i have noticed is that the back button on the Geniatech version takes you back to the main menu and not back on step.
The other thing is the way it handles the wifi. Jynx and Croniccorey version us a program addon for wifi but neither work on a ATV520 but will work on the ATV1200.

So it seems that the best version is the croniccorey. Apart from the wifi on ATV520 and the crackling.
Is there a way to set a static IP?
