[Q] How to get the new Market

Hi there all. I'm not sure if anyone has asked about it before, but I've tried to search without a result.
How do I get the new Market?
I've tried to Force Stop the market and clear both the data and cache, but it hasn't updated yet.

To my knowledge, it changed on the market side not on ours. So there isn't an update, the market has just become better.

Seems like an app update to me...

from what I heard, it will be a client update, and so far, only the 2.3 testers have it.. this info I've gathered from a couple android sites that have news up about it (androidcentral states a 2.3 nexus user has it).. but as stated above, the rest of us willl likely get it over the next couple weeks as the press release said

If youre talking about the redesigned one, it isnt officially out for about 2 weeks. There is a test build leak out though, just look in Development.

[Q] Swype Beta

After numerous months, my Swype Beta invite has finally been accepted, however, I am currently using the hacked Swype v.2.4.44.10912. Other than getting the latest Swype version & possible future versions, what is the advantage of me using the new swype beta instead of using the version I already have and am satisified with?

Well...it's legal?
Otherwise any benefits of the new updates.
Rarely do updates make an app worse so...I don't see the negative in updating.

Yes, but it still works and I like it as-is. I appreciate your reply though.

I'm pretty sure one of the biggest updates in this version is speech to text. Don't quote me on that but I'm in the same boat as you. I have a theme mod on my swype so im not updating but I'm still in the beta. If anyone wants a swype beta let me know. Im not using it.

I hear ya...lol...I've waited months for my invite to be accepted and in the meantime, I've used several betas that were found online but have since expired and then I found my current hacked version that will not expire and I'm satisfied with it as-is. My primary keyboard is still Smart Keyboard Pro. I don't care about using text-to-speech. Heck, if I'm going to talk, I might as well call the person I want to talk to...lol. Anyway, I appreciate your reply. Thank you.

I also received an invite from swype and upgraded to the newest version. Will this beta version ever expire?

I would prepare for it to expire at some point like the ones before it, however, being that your invite was approved, you would more than likely be allowed to upgrade to the next beta, if there is another one.

Received my invite and dumped my hacked version. Haven't regretted it yet. hacked version even had mic for speech 2 text but I like the looks, feel and speed differences of the legal beta client over the hack.

I've had problems with the beta "locking" on me where I have to reboot for it to allow me to Swype again. (tap typing worked, but it's Swype!)
This happening to anyone else?

When that happens, I usually select to the default keyboard and then back to Swype. That fixes it. No rebooting

Mine has suddenly started saying "this version of Swype was not designed for this model phone" and then won't Swype. (I'm in the official beta). I uninstalled/reinstalled and it worked for one word and threw the same error. I tried switching to another keyboard and back and still nothing. It worked fine for the first few days.
Anyone know if the new update will kill root?

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)

New Softbank Rom: 369

Totally out of left field: dell released a new rom for softbank.
The changelog does not seem to state much.
Android 2.2.2
Build date: Jul 10, 2012
Build: 29579
Dell Stage 1.6
The rom is completely identical to 366 except for the following files:
<root>\boot.img
<root>\amss.mbn
<root>\dbl.mbn
<root>\dsp1.mbn
<root>\osbl.mbn
<root>\system\build.prop
<root>\system\app\quickoffice.apk
Out of all those, only boot.img seems to have changed more then just being resigned/trivial changes.
Dell normally holds a rom for 1 month to test before releasing, but the normal release date for a rom built in july would be mid/late august.
So for whatever reasons: they held it back for a month.
It also only includes a trivial amount of changes, so it's not much more then going though the motions of a release

I received the update SMS today and came here to check. Figured you would have some additional info on this.
Still Froyo? I guess I'm never getting a phone from Softbank again.

Blame Dell/Qisda's dell team/Softbank
The SPro's still on GB too.
The Lenovo LePad S2005 (ie the "Opus one") got ICS back in April.
I dont even know why they released 369, I cant tell if it even changed anything as far as softbank's changelog is concerned.

maybe the user or the dev is old school type .. and pretty much on comfort zone...

Official roms arnt custom roms, they cant simply release it and hope there's no serious issues. They have to have staff on hand to test for 3 weeks before releasing.
Even if they only changed like a dozen lines of code at best for it.

I currently sport the Dell official 360 rom and I was wondering if it was worth the bother of udating to this one? has anyone given it a go and does it work?
Any pointers would be appreciated! Also interested in whether it requires a complete reset or if it upgrades leaving data/apps in place? :fingers-crossed:

Any time you flash a DELL update.pkg it's going to do a factory reset.
TheManii may put together a zip package for it though

rom: 2.5 gb
are we going to get an official ics as we had before from olleh an official gb ??

2.5gb is 500mb nand + 2gb innerSD.
I dont expect them to ever make official ICS.
Even 2.3.5+ isnt something I'd expect.

Has anyone installed this yet? Does it improve wifi performance and is it ok in the UK? I hate being the first at these things!!

Well I took the plunge and generally I am pleased with the results. Wifi seems much more stable and most things work, although mms does not seem to be working at the moment. Also softbank does not come with a sms app pre-installed, instead they use their own combined messaging app which I have not tried yet. I installed an sms app from the market and it works ok, apart from mms

The MMS issue I was having was me being an idiot - I had run out of credit I have never used Wifi Hotspot. There is an app that comes rolled into this rom which seems to be for tethering but i have not used it. The WiFi in general is excellent and seem way more stable that any other ROM I've used to date (and I've used quite a few). I think it may be easier to look up a 3rd party (barnacle I think) tool to get the tethering working - but I know very little about this.

Regarding the mms.apk can we replace that softbank mms.apk with that of mms.apk from stock 360 rom

I've been using it for a while and generally all is good. It seems better on battery than the 360 rom, the WiFi seems more stable, though I do get the odd issue with it not connecting but far less than any other rom I've used. I do not use tethering and I know that is not present, but there are apps in the market to do this anyway. SuperUser.zip also happily rooted it with no issues. It does seem to be quicker than other Froyo roms too - so overall I'd say it's worth an upgrade. Be aware that the native messaging app will not work on it for some reason, but Handsent or Go SMS are just fine and dandy - unless you run out of credit (see earlier post by me)
If I had to stick to a single rom this would be the one. I am tempted to go for DSC and I've been told by the author that it can be flashed over this rom - so I may report back when 1.6 is rolled out fully and I've installed it to give a comparison.
I hope this helps!

I've looked and haven't found any links for what I'm looking for which is just the amss and dsp1 files to flash in fastboot... anybody got those uploaded anywhere? I hate to flash the entire ROM just to extract those two, but if I have to then I just have to... thanks guys for any help

Essential Service update available

Just for info
New update to Essential Services on playstore now, 2nd October.
Anybody know what the Services are for?
Edit: Says Bug and performance fixes. Maybe firmware related?

I just got my essential phone off of swappa and it's running build "NMI75B test-keys". For some reason I am unable to update any system apps via the play store while on this build. Camera, Essential Resources, and Essential Services are all showing updates available, but every time I've tried to download them I get error code 505. I think there is something with this test build firmware that is preventing me from updating system apps via the play store. Every other app (150+) that I have installed has worked flawlessly.

Build NMI75B is not an official build from Essential. The device in reference from the XDA link is using incremental beta SW in test - 64C is the official release build at this time but we will be releasing another public SW update within the next few weeks. Stay tuned.

Yeah I saw that thread. It doesn't explain why some phone inexplicably updated to this test keys build tho. I'm waiting to hear back from support on the matter. I just want to make sure I'm able to receive all future updates.
