Help - Android IRC on my Dinc. - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm a n00b to IRC, but I'm looking to start using it. I just downloaded & installed the Android IRC app, so I was wondering if someone could help me out.
How do I connect to a channel so I can begin chatting?
and
What are some popular android channels?
Thanks in advance for your help,
-TZ

room to start in is ##droidincredible its on freenode.net server, i use andchat so i wouldn't know anything about the app you are using but it was pretty simple from there once you get in there you can ask general irc command questions
kinda shocked 30+ views no replys

Thanks for your help. I made it into ##Droidincredible, but no one is talking. All I am seeing is people joining, leaving and changing their nicks. I said hello but no one is answering. Am I missing something? Or do people just not talk much?

If you see join/quits/etc you are probably setup just fine, but no one is around.

Its possible its muted. Might try ##incredibleroot

Thanks guys for your help.
I got into ##incredibleroot, ##incredibleroms, and ##droidincredible. I also figured out that /join is a command to join a channel. Can anyone recommend some more good rooms or some more common commands?

common commands are probably
/msg nick blah
/join #chan
/part #chan
/hop
/server irc.blah.com port
/list will list any non +s (i believe, might be +p) channels on whatever server you're on
** assuming your client supports these

Ventrilo for PPC - CEntrilo XDA project [Needs someone to take on this project]

The current CEntrilo version will only work on older versions of Ventrilo. The developer of CEntrilo has released files related to his software so that someone may take up the challenge to update his program. I have verified that the user name and password are still correct.
Let this thread be dedicated to building a working version of CEntrilo for 3.0 vent servers. We could call it "CEntrilo XDA" unless someone else has a better idea.
Published by geggo on Jul 25th, 2007 in Uncategorized with 1 Comment
hi,
since i dont find some spare time to update CEntrilo, i made the SVN public.
http://svn.g3gg0.de/svn/default/trunk/misc/CEntrilo
username: centrilo
password: behave!
simply get the source, look how it works and create a new, CLEAN tool from it.
would be really cool if you can keep the core platform independent.
i also somewhen tried to make a symbian client, but could not get beyond
connecting and hearing some noise when people talk
cheers

Who is up for this challenge, and what can we do with the above files?
EDITED : Dead links
Vent on CE would rock!
Could just use my phone for games comms and not tie up my PC. Could even see names and stuff on the phone's screen whilst in-game, how neat is that??
Good luck with this project guys!
I fully support this project. I have been pushing in the Ventrilo forums for this for a long time. I will keep watching this thread for this program.
Dagummit!! lol I've been very active on a gaming sites vent server, thought this was a great idea, just to find myself waiting now.. lol Gotta love it!
Anybody actually working on this?
Does anyone know of any progress on this program? I am really interested in hearing how it is coming!
I don't think anyone is doing this.
But if someone would give me a brief tutorial link or something on how to program for wm6 I'd give it a shot. But no guarantee.
What about making an Xfire application for WM?
Im a gamer and it will really nice to have one app like that. I guess it will be similar protocol like Jabber.
Looks like the author of CEntrilo is taking a shot at getting his Ventrilo client working on the newest version of Ventrilo. He is asking questions, so maybe the able minded developers here want to take a shot at this and help him?
http://www.g3gg0.de/wordpress/archives/25
I could be talking to my gaming friends in Vent while I am stuck here at work on my phone, instead of posting this information here.
I am trying to get it to connect to my server. What is the mfcce400.zip file for?
Now that I look at the link I posted, this looks like a lost cause. G3GG0 is not going to make his program work with the 3.0 servers.
There is interest in getting vent to work on Windows Mobile. Why does nobody want to take up this impressive feat? G3GG0's code is right there!!!!!
Hell, create a version that works with Android, make big bucks on the Android market, at the very least.
I support this. Please someone take up this project.
+1. This NEEDS to be done, it'd be fantastic.
It also needs some Speex support. Please someone have a go at this!
Yes please someone
I agree, this really needs to be updated for 3.0.3.
will donate for this one
I also support this project, we all know it would be amazing to have vent go portable!

This has gone quite a long time unanswered, i dont think its going to change
I would like to update.
There is a open source linux ventrilo client that we can port to WM. If someone can link me to some WM programming, I would do it.
Open source linux client:
http://www.mangler.org
The whole protocol is documented so it should not be that hard.

Please someone help this guy!

It's starting to liven up a bit again =) Attention: If you are asking a question on IRC and don't get an answer immediately, please stay logged in and allow someone the opportunity to answer. I notice a lot of people asking something and logging out after waiting maybe 2 minutes. There are a handful of users idle all the time and periodically check the channel, willing to answer questions. Just give them a little time to respond.

I have tried andchat and Android IRC to connect but both say something about SASL. I read it earlier in the thread but someone said andchat beta but both clients support SASL already. Also this is my first attempt at using IRC and have been wanting to use it for a while. Any good tutorials? Ive seen some on youtube but they dont really give you a good grasp on it.

this site is ripping xda content

during a google search i found this site ripping posts from xda for a mfa site.
hxxp://www.android-support.com/invalid-magic-code-0x0000003-while-trying-to-write-system-img
it was up within about 20-30 mins of me posting, so it has to be hitting your feeds fairly regularly!
time to start banning ips that access your feeds?

I think this is a cat and mouse game! If they ban an ip, they'll just find another way of doing it.......I don't think XDA is that worried about it because if they were, they would of stopped it by now!
Just my 2 cents.....don't eat my head off...hahahaha

this is kinda true in some respects, but the guy is using wordpress, with someone elses theme and so is probably just using a wp plugin to pull the android forum feed.

personally, i'd check logs for ip's that pull the android forum general feed regularly through the week at set times, maybe even try some test posts at various times to narrow the ip's down that hit at regular times.
then it's time for that ip to meet iptables
look for any agent strings - it may even be shown as 'wordpress' or as curl, or wget or a wordpress plugin name. i'm willing to guess there's a few wordpress occurances in your logs. report to google as well.

np. but... there's always the 'thanks' button
We're looking into this.
if you want to be a hardass, you may want to limit to certain agent strings for legal pulls like apps - of course, this can (fairly easily) be bypassed, but for the average webmaster dolt, it's enough.

You might want to pull the username/password out of your post and provide them via Private Message, otherwise everyone on the internet will have access to your FTP site once google crawls this post. Just a suggestion.

yes, he's right, please do that.
Also not everyone here is... nice.
And change your PW, now.
I would give out that info to devs and "well known" helpful members.
Also, be aware that some things here are DLed thousands of times, watch your BW. ;-)

Very cool OP thank you... Looks like the psswrd was changed already. I think you guys scared him.
Lol, yeah you guys did.
This is an awesome contribution OP, thank you.
You really are pretty new here. Definitely do your research. When someone contacts you, check out their post count, look at what types of threads they've created, and the thank meter is always a good indicator
Obviously, some developers will be easily recognizable, and won't necessarily warrant checking up on them; there will definitely be some that are good contributers, but you might not know it without looking into their work.
And some are just not trustworthy.
Like cnz.

thank you very much OP, but other guys are correct. google searches this place SO much. you dont want trolls living in your server. i havent checked personally, but i REALLY hope you changed it, and give a screening process to those who ask to use it
Good Luck here, dood!

DEVELOPERS ONLY- developer weekend conference.

THIS IS FOR DEVELOPERS ONLY. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY SKILLS AT ANDROID DEVELOPMENT, OR ARENT CURRENTLY PLANNING ON OR CURRENTLY MAKING SOMETHING NEW FOR OUR DEVICE DO NOT REPLY. THIS IF FOR DEVELOPERS ORGANIZATION ONLY. IF YOU WANT TO LEARN THE BASICS OF DEVELOPING THOUGH, OR WANT TO SEE IF YOU CAN HELP US, DO NOT POST HERE, ASK ANY DEVELOPER THROUGH PM.​
Well, I had to get that out of the way.
Me and Adriel were talking for a while today, and were thinking of having a developer conference for all developers of our device on the weekends. He has a business gotomeeting account we can use to audio chat, and share our computer screens live (and not use actual cameras for privacy reasons). We can have up to 25 people at a time. What we want to do is to get as many developers as we can on so we can talk about all our current projects, ways we tried to get stuff working, and what we want to do going forward. We also want to use it so that people (like myself) who are newer to development can ask the more experienced devs questions to get themselves better, and we can all maybe be on the same skill level eventually, and in general get more stuff for our devices going. Me and adriel are both able to do this on Sunday (me in the afternoon, Adriel TBA), and we wanted to see who else can join us. I want to be able to get this as a monthly thing if possibly on the weekends, and maybe weekly per availability on a smaller scale. Also if we can get it working, I want to find a free version to do the same thing, and allow anyone with development experience to host a group to allow general users to ask questions, and try to learn development themselves. I believe besides just normal test/audio chat being able to see each other's computer screens (hide anything personal first) would allow us to use much easier visual learning, and help the community as a whole. Tell me what you all think.
You can count me in.. I'm pretty new to development though... I'm just starting to get my feet wet... My only dev work (sorta)... Is the porting of the Lewas Rom to my beloved EVO 4G .... But I'm definitely interested in developing for this device (well at least learn something)...

Another original Evo user! awesome! Well instead of using gotomeeting we might just use google+ hangout- much easier, and dont need adriel to be on each time. I suggest taking your username and creating a google account with it for the hangout. for example mine is [email protected]. I will be on all weekend on google+ now.
Count me in!
I may or may not be available but most devs know how to contact me.

Shelnutt2, i was gonna suggest this type of thing. i noticed the current irc room is just noobs and what not who need help fixing/lgnpst'ing their phones. why not make two rooms #lgog-help and a dev room for you guys and testers.
that way, the dev talk isn't washed out with people needing help fixing their phones and dumb questions about eta

We decided to use Google+ instead. Much easier since its browser based, but only ten people. If someone wants to get $3 we can get up to 250 on oovoo.
Also IRC is good, but it doesn't allow us to see the persons screen, so no visual help. I can then see exactly what you click on, and just talk and not worry about talking while working. And if someone's getting help they can just listen to suggestions, and not have to look at a chat screen if they don't have multiple monitors. Also for chat for developers I was thinking of maybe using something besides freenode. Its not very mobile friendly, and I personally don't like it. Gtalk is the best for one on one it seems like, but we something like palringo- download the app on any OS for any smartphone/computer/tablet. Chats as big as we want for free, and it supports pictures and short audio clips. Also private messaging, bots, and such. And you just right click some bodies name to mod, admin, ban, or silence them. And permanent ban is possible. Then we can keep anyone not wanted out, but still let normal users that don't bug the channel float around and watch our chats. If anybody has another alternative to palringo, please tell me. I want us all to be as connected as possibly, and in all formats without it being a hassle. I want us accessible to each other, and even to normal flashaholics through chat, screen cast, and audio. Always accessible in case someone has an issue with a ROM or mod. Makes development easier.

On android, just open a chat, then menu, add friends and you can pick who to invite... Probably something similar on other clients.

I'll edit this as needed; however, I would like to get this seriously off it's feet. These are the following courses that I would be the best to learn for now. And have different developers teaching the course work once a week.
If we start tomorrow, we'll literally start extremely easy; however, it'll get harder. I think it'll be best if dedicated an hour and a half to all lessons (More for more difficult subjects) and developers teaching should have an agenda in mind. Here's a weekly schedule that sounds like it'll be beneficial.
Week 1: Copy & Paste Rom
Folder and File Structure (10 minutes)
Top Level Modifications (20 Minutes)
Updater Script (Commands and Permissions) (20 Minutes)
Implementing Aroma Scripts and Modified Updater Script (40 Minutes)
Week 2: De-compiling and Theming
Week 3: Setting up Linux Development Environment
Week 4: Developing a ROM from Source
Week 5: Developing a Kernel from Source
If you're a developer and want to teach any one of these, please reach out to me.
Some responsibilities for teaching include recording your screen as you present. This is specifically to be able to upload the video to youtube afterwards so that anyone can watch if they miss the session. The only disadvantage for users that watch the video is the inability to ask questions during the tutorial.
I'll also make accommodations for the developer depending on what they need. I'll help find solutions for video capturing software, which shouldn't be difficult.
Hopefully we can get this off the ground so that people are more knowledge about ROM development. Most of these tutorials can already be found online; however, it's always difficult to get started.
Thanks,
Adriel
If anybody wants, I am on right now. I can do the week 1 tutorial for new people, or talk about current projects with other devs.
I am on google+ under evo dev. my gtalk and email to find me is [email protected]. If you cant find me on google+ shoot me an email, and ill send you invite to a hangout. just put your hand over your camera so you can switch it off, then turn on screen cast. You can also use a normal chat if you dont have a headset or built in mic.
