[Q] Sky Go - Galaxy S II Themes and Apps

hi guys wonder if you can help have just installed the Sky Go app but it wont load any media then i read "Sky Go is not supported on any Android device that has been rooted" is there away to get it to work
SGS2 with CF-ROOT
cheers

Ah, so that's what that message says. Flashes past so quick I can't read it and then sticks on "loading 1/100".
Would also be very interested in anything the genii of xda can do for us...

mine Just comes up with "Sorry, Sky Go is not currently supported on this device. Please see FAQS for more information." think this is because i'm running an ICS rom any way to get round this?

Currently doesn't work on:
1. ICS;
2. anything rooted; and
3. anything that is not a Samsung Galaxy S, Samsung Galaxy S II, HTC Desire, HTC Desire S, HTC Desire HD, HTC Incredible or HTC Sensation
which is ****e really. Hence we are at the mercy of the great and the good of xda to do what Sky couldn't/wouldn't and get this working properly on, primarily, rooted devices and then deal with the other problems.

I have been away for a while

I have been away from my beloved htc desire for about 3 weeks and I seem to be so far behind, I wondered if any of you guys would update me on which hd rom is best to use and if the camera was now working on them, and also are there any major updates or anything I have missed
Thanks

New phone

Although I have had fun with my desire, I can help but think it is now outdated. I've read about the sensation xe, what's everyones thoughts? My desire is the amoled version, do you think I will be disappointed with the sensation xe screen? Should I wait a little loner? Should I even move to the dark side and get an iPhone 5 when available?
I would be greatful for your thoughts and help.
Thank you

It's not outdated, just flash a good rom on it. But if you don't like it, get something else. You can still sell your desire for quite some money...
Been through a few roms, currently running insertcoin, miui before that for quite a while. Phone just seems a bit slow now, plus I'm one of those people who always want the latest

Absoluta truth...
And the desire is not outdated, try any ROM with sense 2.1 or inclusive sense 3.0 And gingerbread 2.3.5
Im now with Leedroid 3.3.3. with sense 2.1. and works like a new one.
Wait till Christmast 4 a new smartphone

I used miui until a few months ago, got a bit bored and went back to a sense rom, might give miui another go. Thanks for everyones thoughts.
Just back to one of my original questions though, my desire has the amoled screen. Will the newer slcd screen on the sensation be much different quality wise, for better or worse?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
The amoled screen has a bit better colors, but the slcd screen of the sensation is better in every other aspect in my personal opinion.
But I think best would be to look for yourself, try the sensation in phone store.
I too eventualy got bored with the desire. After playing with almost every Android phone on the market I fell in love with the galaxy s2. The screen did it for me. It is truly breathtaking. Just before I tried it I played with the LG optimus 3d and was impressed with the effect but when you compare the s2 screen to it the difference is amazing. It made my desire display look so drab and dull. The phone is super fast. Full 1080p video recording. 16meg phone memory. 2mb system memory so no more ext partitions or data to SD.
Go and play with one. Apparently there will be an s3 around the start of nov. I wanted the evo 3doriginally but delays inthe launch. Bad reviews and the locked bootloader put me off. If you like to flash roms the s2 is super easy to root. Just flash an unsecure kernel and that's it. No s off no Linux disks nothing. So that's my sales pitch done with

The new sense roms are made for much more powerful device.
If you're going for non HTC, you may as well try aosp roms. They fly on the desire

Yeah I wouldn't get too excited about having SkyGo working on your One X just yet, considering barely any places even say its released and this is Sky we are dealing with..
Wouldn't the one from the Samsung galaxy nexus work?

This is really sad as one of the reasons I upgraded my contract for this phone is so I could watch my Sky F1 when I'm out and about. Guess i'm screwed now.

Was working fine on my sg2 with stock ics. Just needs a small mod by someone in the know then it'll work I'm sure. Here's hoping.

Very true. I don't understand why they couldn't release software that is compatible with all gingerbread phones in the first place... But I have no knowledge of the ins and outs

Try this one
Seems to install ok, but just sticks at loading when i tap watch.
Have temp unrooted the rom using supersu, but maybe it's still seeing the SU?
Anyone tried on a non-rooted device?

Doesn't work either, I get this message now which I've never seen. I'm using a vpn so should show as though I'm in the UK...
I can't even connect to my vpn via data, only wifi! Stupid phone

Just tested with my stock rom and everything works good until it reaches the part where I click watch and then it just gets stuck at Loading and then after about 30 seconds it restarts the Skygo app.
This is using the the provided on the link on page 1
Sky have always been incredibly paranoid about data encryption, and they have a lot riding on it with the actual owners of the content they provide. Limiting support to a handful of Gingerbread-based phones that are big sellers (S2, Desire, etc) and trying their hardest to prevent it running on any rooted Android device ensures they won't end up providing free Sky Sports to Orange customers who stick the APK on a rooted Google TV and show football in a pub - or worse, manage to decrypt the stream and throw access open to the wider world.
It sucks, but I can understand the slow rollout. When ICS numbers get above the current 3%, and when the One X proves to be a big seller over the next few months, I'm sure we'll be supported.
Just on this a thought I had is sky will never release it for one x.reason being they all ready block it working with HDMI out,but I don't see how they could block WiFi out to the media link so far that reason is be suprised if they updated it for the one x

Just a heads up, official SkyGo app for HTC One X now available on play store. As detailed on Techradar.com.
Doesn't work with rooted phones though!

Dead trigger isnt released in play store for Desire hd. But Apple appstore has it for iphone 3gs. i cant understand them
It was compatible at the begining with our DHD, but it seems that Madfinger remove the DHD from working phones list, maybe because they know that there is a big issue...
I think/hope they will put an update...Dead trigger is also compatible with android phones like galaxy S, defy etc...it's just a issue with the DHD (I'm not sure if other adreno 205 phones have the same problem)

[Q] Can we now have jellybean from HTC - OFFICIALLY with SENSE 4.1+

Today i got a message from HTC saying "Namaste! New android software version 4.2.2 for your HTC Device is here!Please upgrade for better data experience at www.htc.com (data charges apply)".
Is it true that we have now received official jellybean update from HTC ? Can anyone confirm it.
I'm on latest Leedroid rom btw.
I also found something here -
http://technosamigos.com/htc-android-4-2-jelly-bean-update-device-list-schedule/
I don't know if I can believe it. If it's true though this would mean good things for custom ROMs based on stock 4.2 becoming much more stable I would assume?

4.2.2 Jellybean isn't even on the HTC One yet, whoever sent you this was trying to scam you, so don't bother trying to update
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk 2
I dont think you would get official update notifications with a custom rom. Especially nonsensical notifications about 4.2.
I remenber that with the arrival of the first ICS Rom´s, we receive a mail fron HTc congratulating us on our new terminal. Maybe it´s the same.
Take a look in settings/about phone, maybe ro.product.device is wrong in build.pro and htc is thinking you have another device (One X or something like this)
It is either a prank, or an error. DEFINITELY not an official update. Unrooted explorers also getting this message.
When I flashed cm10.1 Google congratulated me on my new galaxy nexus. Lol. I think previous posts about them thinking we have a different phone are correct.
