Blue Angel in profile

We can't choose that we have a Blue Angel in our profile? I think the profile and registration pages should be updated to reflect the other popular devices available.

It's a limitation of the forum's programming.
From what I remember, the forum had to be 'hacked' to even allow XDA II in the profiles.

That's the point
Yes. The forum is running phpBB which doesn't have this feature and the forum was modified. So, to add new devices won't be that hard like making this feature from scratch... better than keeping the site outdated.
I'm a PHP developer and I can offer help in doing that IF NEEDED.
PS: Anyone having problems with this site on Firefox 1.1 Alpha (Deer Park Alpha 1)? It's creating a horizontal scroll double the screen size.

I may also help in coding. You may accept it as a "donation" from me...
PS: Same issue here in FireFox 1.0.7 too.

[XAP] LG ScanSearch (patched for all models)

Hey everyone
Saw a few people were looking for a patched version of the ScanSearch application that ships with LG phones (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=912217). I popped open reflector and modified it enough that it now launches on my non LG device.

@mods: if you want me to take the link down, please edit this out. PM me if the link disappears
Cheers

Oh, just so you know, you will have to use this tool to install it. You will need to tick the "Replace assembly signatures" and "Remove DRM" options for it to work correctly.

now thats a great app, thanks

All apps I have tested yesterday on my OMNIA 7.
Deploy them with Xap Deployer V1.4 and mark the checkboxes...

Can you patch Panorama Shot too?

hm, it always direcing to east is bad..but otherwise its a great app...perhaps you can fix the issue of it always facing east?

Yes in scan search, compass does not work on hd2 hd7. stays in one direction.

Should be possible to make some kind of bridge that intercepts the calls to the non-existent LG driver and return it meaningful compass data, right? I don't quite have the knowledge to do it myself, but if you can mess with it enough so that it doesn't check if it's on an LG phone, it should be possible to direct it at a different DLL...

I don't get it, it's missing all the features but one.
The app can also scan CDs, books, movie posters, bar codes, etc. and none of that is here. It should have a list of icons on the left hand side to toggle between these, yet when installed on HD7 and Focus, it's all gone (I have LG Quantum too, so I can compare).

This functionality might have been implemented in an update? The only XAP I got to patch was the v1.0.0.0 ripped from the ROM. If you have a newer XAP, and post it, I'll be all to happy to update my site and post.
Strike that, I did patch the latest version. Will look into it.
Patched it, download from the same URL as before. It was a carrier check, meaning that only certain US Carriers could access those features. Now granted all devices the same supportedFeatures value.
If someone has a way of getting the orientation of other devices, I'm happy to give it a go, see if I can tweak it to a degree.

doesnt work, additional features are still not available for barcodes etc.

won't install on my focus

There's a Samsung Compass Homebrew library out there, which might be usable for this app with a bit of hacking. I've never tried it, though. Download the source for the "Functional Webserver" and it's in there.

as there is a htc compass app out now there, too.
someone interested in making a scansearch app with support for all devices?

ScanSearch is nice... Panorama shot is man oh man... so much better. I would say of the bunch its is the best... Also I get a manifest error...

yeah panorama shot is awesome app
why is none else able to code such thing...

wheres the files?

Works on my Dell Venue Pro....
Thanks : D
Edit: it loads, but it lok like it hasn't got access to the compass, because moving the phone does not move the compass in the scansearch app...

Calabash-Android

Hello, I'm new on XDA and I am working on test for an application. And I made scenarios using calabash-android, cucumber and ruby.
Before I explain my problem, I want to know if I am in the right section and if somebody use or know calabash-android ?
Thanks, Momo James

I think that you don't found a thread about your test application, but you can develop here what you want to do or explain.
Good luck :good:
For info for other members
Calabash enables you to write and execute automated acceptance tests of mobile apps. Calabash is cross-platform, supporting Android and iOS native apps. It is open source and free, and has a company, LessPainful, backing and developing it.
Calabash consists of libraries that enable test-code to programmatically interact with native and hybrid apps. The interaction consists of a number of end-user actions.

Best tools for Android automated testing

Hi all,
(Hoping this is the right forum - its description includes "Discuss functional and performance testing tools and services" but if I select the Question box when posting I'm told "This is not a Q&A forum. By posting questions in this forum you are breaking the forum rules.")
I'm looking for tools to automate functional testing of Android apps. Robotium looks promising but I'd be interested to hear what more experienced Android developers think and if they have other recommendations. Cloud-based services may be interesting too.
Thanks
Mirko

Robotium is a nice choice. I've written a guide about it which you can take a look at.
Also the standard tool provided by the SDK, called the MonkeyRunner Tool, is also a great option.

Good tutorial, thanks.
The ability to control more than one device with MonkeyRunner sounds very interesting. I wonder if you could even simulate two users interacting with each other.

You can do it with Robotium itself. Just specify the actions which you want sequentially, depending on your needs.

I recently uese monkeyrunner on automated test. I really think it's easier than Robotium. Espesially the additional tool hierarchy to view perspective provided by the SDK is very useful.

Maybe I should try using MonkeyRunner once after all. Though I never felt the urge to use anything else after Robotium.

Android TV using monkey runner
Hi All,
Im new to this forum and Monkeyrunner as well. I tried connecting my cell phone using monkey runner and it works fine, but when I try to connect my Android TV, it doesn't connect. When I type adb devices, it gives output as <IP ADRRESS>:<port>, but waitforconnection command is not able to connect to my TV. My TV and my PC is on same network, I use ADB commands like logcat, push and pull works fine, but this connection using monkey runner is not working out.
Any suggestion guys.
Regards
Devendra

Alternative Tool: Ranorex
I have another recommendation for you: Ranorex. It supports both iOS and Android testing. You needn’t write any code because Ranorex lets you record your tests on real Android devices. It’s even possible to manage your devices over Wi-Fi from a desktop PC without having a USB connection to the devices.

Robotium is no doubt the best tool for android automation. To use it effectively, you can use this app: Robotium

Hey Mirko,
Have you ever opted to try Cocos Test Automation? Cocos is providing a test automation service which allow you to automate your testing across over 80% of the relevant market share of real mobile devices. All you need to do is submit your games IPA or APK and our QA specialists will perform and record test flows. A test script will then be automatically replicated on hundreds of devices. A test report will be created and sent within 48 hours. Please feel free to contact me if you want to know more about this Cocos Service.
All the best,

Crash log tool
I am not sure about automated testing by my favourite tool is Acralyzer. Best part is its free to install on your server and generates comprehensive reports.
I guess automated testing is also possible but it is something I have never tried.

thank you guys it's the first I heard of Robotium

Cordova app not working on all devices

My app does not seem to work on different Android devices (haven't tested on iOS yet).
What my app does is doing a HTTPXMLRequest and displays the data by adding child elements to an existing DIV.
It seems like the part in appBundle.js is not executing on some devices, however I have added jQuery and Slick(a slideshow plugin). These plugins do load and work on all devices, just not the JavaScript that I created.
The functioning of the app does not seems to depend on root permissions, I have tested it with 20 different devices, 10 rooted and 10 unrooted. It only works on 2 or 3 devices.
I have attached the Visual Studio solution to this post ( VS2015 required with Mobile Dev options ), any help would really help me.
Note: Open the solution with BlankCordovaApp1.jsproj

perhaps if you give us the devices it's not working on that can clue in efforts to help you.
