Open Market New Freeware Marketplace For TP2/WinMo

http://ppcgeeks.com/2010/01/18/opnmarket-freeware-marketplace-for-windows-mobile/
its alot better designed than Marketplace and more importantly...loads of free apps

Downloading now. The regular marketplace has potential, but has been meh so far.
This looks very promising already, thanks.

Thanks for sharing this

This is nice..... very nice.

Nice
You have the choice to install app on your memory card!!!! nice find

Nice find! The Dutch marketplace is very bad. To all you Americans out here, try switching to the Dutch one with regionswitch and see how lucky you are

Thanks, love it

Looks interesting, going to try it out. Thanks for the post!

this is a really good find. i just wish the app specifications would say what resolution they are. a few apps i downloaded were really small

WHen I try to login it says that connection failed

Same here on the failed network connection.

I have that problem, I found if you log in again after you get that message it works.

I had the same problem. never actually got a good confirmed registration. So for the heck of it I just tried a straight login with the email/pwd that I was trying to register with...and viola.. I was in.

Its not working at all with me it keeps saying the connection failed

It's like MS Marketplace....but better !

I tried OpnMarket as an alternative to MS Marketplace, what can I say, MS could learn something here.
It has a good way to browse the apps and I have not seen one you have to pay for (donations are welcome though).
The number of apps are currenly limited, but still more than the Marketplace, however I'm sure it'll grow.

True, this OPN Market seems good and I think most applications or games are free inside, right?
While MSN Market have some applications or games which need to purchase before downloading.

Also, unlike MS Marketplace, you have the ability to save the applications where you want instead of just to the device, thus saving the precious memory on your phone.
I know you can just move the apps manually but the is just a hassle to do, and to be honest I just couldn't be bothered to use the Marketplace mainly for this reason.

thanks for the heads up. I just installed this now. microsoft should be ashamed of themselves!

Marketplace seems to be the biggest failure when it comes to Windows Mobile. What help us great hardware, if don't have applications to run on.

Looks very interesting! But I constantly get a 'Connection failed! Please check your internet connection and try again.' error when trying to log in through the application.
Anyone else with the same problem? Connection is working fine btw so that can't really be the issue.

It was working well for me... Installed an app to my storage card, was quite happy with the interface, even if it did feel a little low-res. However, on downloading my 2nd app, I clicked "back" hoping it would download in the background. IT appeared to stop, so I went back to the app I wanted to download. The store then locked up, and eventually crashed out and now won't load.
Very poor error handling, in my opinion.

I have to say I also thought that it was going to download in the background, however for a first release it is still miles better than Marketplace

Heh, yeah... I just tried it a few times and suddenly I got in. Looks good so far!

Works good, and a way better than a MS Marketplace (especially local one). Beatiful gui without those monstfous MS fonts

Many thanks for the Link, looks pretty good and they have a lot of content..

Android Market installations now available via your browser!

Ok, so this was announced earlier today and I saw it and thought "meh". I had a browse about and still thought "meh", but then I discovered the fact that I can install apps on my phone directly from the browser.
When I first tried it, it didn't work, but every other app after that was installing on my phone within seconds of my clicking the install button. So basically, I can install apps on my phone from any internet ready computer.
Thanks Google. You just made something sweet a little sweeter!
Enjoy, my friends

Yes mate. I am genuinely surprised at how seamless it is. I had my phone in front of the screen and clicked "install" and it immediately started downloading on my phone. It's a VERY nice feature!

make sure you setup your gmail account on the phone and access the market then exit, then it will work. I had the same issue until I did that, cause the FAQ says that will happen if you havent visited market recently.
Now this is cool, utterly great find, no more market on the phone.
BTW, you dont have to access market with https, you can access the same page without the cert error using http.

Check under My market account and then go to the tab "settings" see if your phone appears there, make model carrier. cause both my HD2's show up, there. also on that same screen on the top right there is a link "dont see your device" might be of help to your situation.

Thnx but help section seems not to be precent here in Sweden yet.
I can see

Great stuff is this!

I can't get apps to download to my device. When in my PC browser, I am logged into market, can see my device in the pull down menu and it says it will be installed onto my device shortly, but nothing happens. I tried rebooting, logging out of Talk and back in, downloading the app directly from the market android app (which works, but doesn't solve the app delivery via browser), and also trying downloading from my android browser. No luck. Anyone have any ideas?
EDIT: Nevermind. Flashed pongster's latest Ginger Rom and all is good.

Letv.re change name to Leeco.re

Hello everybody,
The domaine www.letv.re change to http://www.leeco.re

What happened to leeco.re recently?
I'm getting "Website unavailable"

Something with server provider

Web host has a green checkmark, so it's not that. It's something with the website itself.
But now it's taking too long since it started to be unavailable. At least for a past few days.
I regret that very much, because the site had very valuable info, and I need it like.. yesterday.
Guess I'll have to use Google's cached pages before that gets unavailable too.
Thanks anyway.

Still website not working, any alternative?

Browse through google cached pages like I did. Long and painful process for finding any info. Better to forget it, and move along...

Came here to comment on the same thing, Anyone know anything?

I was wondering what happened too... this was the only site I knew of to find x620 roms.

[NST] "Security Warning" when using browser

Hi everyone, I am trying to use my rooted Nook Simple Touch for the first time since early 2020, and when using the Browser app, I keep getting this warning message
Security Warning
There are problems with the security certificate for this site.
The name of the site does not match the name of the certificate.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If I use Opera Mini, this problem doesn't happen. But another app which used to work for me back in early 2020 is now having Network Errors, and I found a comment somewhere in the app's github repo that it downloads data using the main browser. So I suspect that the security warning and and the app's network errors are related?
Does anyone know why this warning is happening or how to fix it? Has something changed with regards to how the NST connects to the internet via the browser since early 2020 which could be causing the issue?

The NST still has a lot of life left in it, but not perhaps as a vehicle for internet browsing. You don't identify the "browser", but about the only two options for the NST at this date that I know of are Opera Mobile (or "Classic"--very similar) and Opera Mini. Of the two, the more practical and satisfying is Opera Mini. This is because the security checks are done by Opera's up-to-date servers before the site content is reformatted and sent off to the browser.
It's not perfect and some sites just won't display or won't display properly, but it's "pretty good" for infrequent and casual browsing.
Opera Mobile has settings for TLS 1.2 but their effect is spotty at best. Security requirements at web sites are a moving target and what worked last month may not work this month. And its rendering of HTML on many sites leaves a great deal to be desired. To be fair, some of the newer "tricks" just won't work with Android 2.1, so it's not all the browsers fault.
An app that uses the browser to download something? Not sure exactly what that means, but if it's using the Android Download Manager then you are probably running into the security issue either because of no TLS 1.2 (B&N only dealt with this issue for their own connection to the device) OR because a certificate in the cacerts.bks file has died since the last time you tried it successfully.
If it's the TLS thing, there's no hope. Like I said, websites and servers tighten rules all the time and there is no way to address that on the NST. If it's an expired certificate, it may be possible to track down which one has died and replace it.
For that, a logcat of a download/login/whatever attempt might be helpful (or not). Or maybe the error message mentions the certificate? If you could reference the github and/or app in question, that might help also.

Edit: See the "Edit" at the bottom this post... I looked into this more myself and found some answers

Hi @nmyshkin, thanks for your detailed reply.
You don't identify the "browser"

The "browser" that I'm referring to is literally the app called Browser which I think came pre-installed on the NST. (Its icon is a circle showing North and South America... let me know if you're still not sure what I'm referring to)

The app I'm using is called Ankidroid. Here's a link to the github repo/comment which mentions using the browser to download. I'm using v2.4.4 (last stable release to support android 2.1):

I'm surprised that it worked back in 2020! That old browser is past its expiration date--and then some. I don't even have it on my devices any more.

Yes and no. It's clearly unhappy about the SSL but the certificate that appears to be mentioned is not the one used at anikiweb.net.

I went to ankiweb.net on my PC and looked at the certificates they use. One seems to be USERTrust RSA. This is in the most up-to-date cacerts.bks for the device. Did you ever update your cacerts.bks? There is an updated file at the end of the first post in the referenced thread. You don't need to look at all the other stuff (unless you want to). In any caase, this seems to make no difference since mine is updated.
There is a second certificate from Sectigo but I can't seem to extract that from Firefox the way I do others. That's the certificate the old Browser complains about and that certificate is NOT in the cacerts.bks file.

Yeah, I took a brief look at that. Looks a bit intimidating, but perhaps not if you're motivated to get it working.
I installed 2.4.4 just to see what we were talking about. Since Opera Mini is my browser, that's what opened. It looks promising, but like many sites with non-static content, it does not display completely. You go to a topic and all you get is a search bar, not a listing of what exists (like you see on the PC). Opera Mobile simply fails to establish a connection. Not surprising.
Finally I replaced the old Browser app in /system/app and tried that out . You can get past the certificate errors by just saying to "continue" but the eventual display is just like in Opera Mini. Only a search bar appears if you select a category like "Chemistry", no listing of existing shared decks.
