[Q] "Delta" updates for apps on JB? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I remember reading some info when JellyBean was released, and it said that the app updates from the Play Store were only supposed to be the changes instead of the whole app. Where is that feature? Is it not included in AOSP?

I looked at the thread, and most people were having issues with the modded playstore. Maybe Google hasn't worked it out yet?

didn't have issues myself. I know its working for me for sure since a 15mb app updates in less than a minute with sprints crap 3g, well the download part the install process is a little longer than it used to be. justinbean gapps might have a newer modded playstore in it I think I read... try that one out maybe. could be just googles issue as you said but hopefully not. good luck with this

OK I don't know what gives, but I couldn't find it on my phone (GB) either either. But here is the work around.
I found it in Android Market on my computer and purchased it there. It made me choose which phone I wanted it installed on, so maybe it makes you pay for each device you have and that is causing us not to find it. As soon as I went to market on my phone, it was installed before I had a chance to hit the search button.
Edit... Ok ... so I have it. Is there a tutorial? I am confused.
I am starting to get it slowly though. Maybe when I get back home and figure things out I will start a post... I am out of battery for now.
well i have v1.0 ... >.>
but they updated so its time to break out ma tools XD
I purchased this app as well, its good but its missing some features the video on youtube showed. I was running the ICS leaked roms and none of them would work/compatible according to the market. I tried the market website and still didnt work, i had to revert to GB from Caulkin to get it after all. My initial impressions are mixed due to it still being a premature relase and not having all the features. So far one update was relased already so it seems like a good thing.
I purchased it and installed it yesterday on CM9. Ended up having to wipe data, and upon going back to the Market to install it, I can't find it anywhere. Dubious indeed.
So I attempted editing the build.prop as many have done to fix issues with the Chrome Beta browser, and still no luck getting this to show up. I liked the launcher while I was using it yesterday, but I'm enjoying CM9 more, so hopefully someone (likely won't be me) can figure out a way to get this to show up.

Its incompatible because its 17.00 fux that stuff ..... 4 maybe 5 bucks for a launcher OK but 17 ...come on I will call ice t at law & order svu , they trying to rape people
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
yep, 17 bucks is wrong for a launcher....
You know, I don't care about the $17 bucks that much...... IF its something I like and want. I wish they would put out a free version that is only good for a few days, something like 3-7 days, so that we could try it out before dropping $17.
I have it but don't really like it getting rid of it

Hmmm. not sure if this is good news or scary. Without really good security on these OTA update servers it seems like a malicious developer could spoof an update and offer anything they wanted masquerading as an update.
i'm currently running blazer 1.6 on my gs3 and i can't do the ota updates.
I like the idea, if implemented properly it could be great.

Like any OTA, take it at your discretion. I rather just wait for it to get posted on XDA.

This isn't new really. I have had ROMs that offered otas on other phones but it is sketchy at best. The news here is that its going to be easier instead of the dev having to create all the code on their own. I think this could cause some problems though. When I flash an update to cm10 I have to flash gapps and then flash on screen buttons. When there is another kernel available I'll be flashing that as well. So unless you can tell it what all to flash automatically afterwards its not for me.

It's flashes new components there won't be a need to flash gapps and other flashables. And obviously as others have stated, it's not new. You don't need to repeat what others have said. (no offense)

CM10 Developer help

Hello,
I have a big request to ask the developer for the Nightly Official CM10 builds.
I have been running them ever since i got my S3 with only a few known issues. I love love love these builds and greatly appreciate everything that they are doing for us.
I have one small favor to ask them to include in the next nightly or near future build.
Ever since build 9/18, i have been getting a hot reboot. I have narrowed it down to the app, smart status bar. This app has worked perfectly on every other ROM or nightly of CM10. So i KNOW its not the app.
I have a logcat here
and i personally feel its this change that is causing this.. i may be wrong but i dont know since nobody is giving me support or even caring.
On that note, i have mentioned this in the CyanogenMod 10 nightly thread. And all i got was a bunch of people *****ing me out claiming that im the only one who uses this app and experiences this issue. And that the problem lies in the app. But when nightlys are released arent they suppose to fix issues and not cause new ones? and if it were the app causing the problem then the app would have caused a hot reboot on my stock rom, on my galaxy s 2 cm10 nightly, on my HD2 cm9 nightly. And on EVERY other ROM out there. Well it doesnt nor has it caused issues up until the 19th build.
I apologize for any attitude or disgust in my dictation but i was very offended by the rudeness and ignorance of the remarks i was receiving. So i apologize for any hostility in my dictation.
Thank you for your time in reading my thread. I hope something gets done to resolve this issue.
Why not post in the cm10 thread?

Lol i did -.- read my post.
I would say send the logcat to the app developer and they should fix compatibility. Link them to the github change as well. Supporting all possible users should be a priority.
Cyanogenmod adds changes that make the most benefit for over all performance. If this broke their code it would be resolved but this breaks the apps code so the dev needs to correct it.
I have sent info like this to devs before and been obliged and had the issue fixed.

Yes i know. But it WAS working before the 9/18 update.. thats why i dont think its an app issue. Now Camera ICS has never worked on CM10 for my S3, it doesnt cause a hot reboot it just freezes then force closes. Thats an app related issue. But smart status bar causes a hot reboot and if you look at the logcat you can notice something is not right with the overlay. Everything runs perfectly on 9/15 build. Smart status bar works and desnt cause a hot reboot. so how could it be the app when it was working before? I just dont understand that part.

The next logical step would be to see if it works on stock 4.1 on a Galaxy Nexus. That was you can see if it was something added that is different than stock Jellybean.

Yeah that might be your best bet. I was thinking since CM10 is attempting to put stock 4.1 on our phones, you can isolate it to see if it is in fact something extra that CM added or if it is something that would be an issue on stock 4.1 as well.

Unless you provide a logcat, there's nothing Task can do about it and has to assume it's a problem with the app. He doesn't provide support for 3rd party app (nor should he).

[ROM] [PORT] 4.3.0 CM 10.2 for d2spr

Hey ladies and gents!
I have ported a rom from our brother, d2vzw. I did some stuff so when you install this instead of downloading from d2vzw forum on this sight, your phone wont go into a boot loop or anally rape you. I really didn't need to do much work, since the hardware is identical.
1) since this from a Verizon device, will I lose service?
Probably not. I typed this topic on the cm10.2 build, and I can call and text.
2) is there focal included?
Yes!!
3) what should I do in case of errors?
Backup....duhh.
Finally, I'm not responsible for anything that you do. If you do anything that loses data, boot loop, or anything that you find an inconvience, well I'm not responsible, and you got yourself a beautiful paperweight.
And if you run into any issues/bugs let me know. I'll be happy to redirect you to the Verizon forums. I ported this. All credit and development go to damnyouwaffles and the fine folks at the Verizon forum.
Download (for d2spr): http://db.tt/cM970gM0
Finally if you want the gapps go to goo.im for the newest gapps for android 4.3

One thing to keep in mind when going from 4.1.2/4.2.2 to 4.3 - you won't be able to restore backups (ie. Titanium) after the upgrade due to changes in the file structure in the new version. This goes for both apps and their associated data.
However, you should be able to restore your apps at least when you run through the setup process and download them from Google (as long as you are keeping your phone synced up to your account that is).
Same goes for trying to restore apps taken on 4.3 to an older version.
Just something I thought I'd pass along.
Sent from my SPH-L710
Hey guys, sorry about the inconvience, but I never edited the build.prop to say that your phone is still a sprint s3. Here's the link for the updated build.prop
Download link: http://db.tt/aIMuO81N
Once downloaded you must replace the current build.prop in /system

Here's a source build for the d2spr, it was within the 10.1 thread but didn't warrant it's own separate thread as it's still early for it's own thread for anyone interested. Built today.
uh you guys, you can build actual d2spr build from sources.
You are totally correct. Titanium backup and related apps will work a lot differently when the appropriate updates come.
NOTE TO USERS WHO INSTALL THIS ROM. WHEN YOU INSTALL GOOGLE APPS FOR ANDROID 4.3, SOME APS WILL FC FREQUENTLY. THE FIX AROUND THIS IS TO UNINSTALL AND REINSTALL THE APPS.

DUDE - I DID read. I just wanted an update since a few hours ago to see how this specific rom was running. I can't stand people that just tell others to "read." You must assume that everyone but you is an idiot and I am sorry to disappoint you. I guess people like me completely ruin your day. Such a shame. I will be sure not to disappoint you in the future. Maybe you didn't realize that the person only two posts above yours mentioned the fix for lost root without even a link. Maybe I am not the one who needs to do the reading.
And...I am NOT a NOOB - I have been a member longer than YOU. Have a nice day!
So...I got a PM from a newer user who can't post yet but he wanted to make sure that I knew what to do to ensure flashing this Rom will be effective. Here is what he said:
"Apparently I can't post in the developer forums until I've made 10 posts, but I registered just so I could answer your question. Installing the rom and allowing it to boot, then installing gapps wouldn't let me use wifi either. In order to get 10.2 to work correctly I had to flash the rom, 4.3 gapps, and SuperSU all at the same time in one recovery boot session."
So if you plan on giving this Rom a run, give that a shot for the best results. Glad I got my answer.
did you try the root fix? maybe even have a link? can i use any su flashable zip?
thanks in advance
