New front page on main site !!!

The xda-developers.com main site has a new front page. It's still very much a work in progress, and it will change significantly still over the next few days and weeks.
But please have a look and say whether you like it.
The articles currently available through the front age will find their way into the forum over the next week as well, and they'll get their own small box on the front page.
If you can, please help turn the XDA-developer news service succeed. With so much going on, I feel it's important we have some kind of editorial summary in order not to drive people nuts.

everything is fine except........ wheres the links to the pages like connectors ect...

WOW new front page, looks good too!
But for some reason I'm unable to logon with Pocket IE.
FYI the below error is whats being reported:
Template->make_filename(): Error - file does not exit
No Pocket IE what am I going to now!

Ehm, whoops, I forgot to say currently it only works with the XDAdevelopers theme... Same goes for the encyclopedia. I'll fix that soon.

:?:
I can get to the forums but where did the rest of xdadevelopers go? The links to the tools, tutorials, pictures, etc... Seems I can't find the links to these areas off of the new home page...

Always get "Template->make_filename(): Error - file does not exist".
Did some testing, found out that it is related to being logged in.
If I log out, the site opens normal.
When I log in again on the site, I get this error again.
Tested with IE 6.0 and Mozilla 1.4.1

You had selected subSilver as your style, and as mentioned above, that wasn't done yet.
The ood news is that it now works for you. The bad news is that I deleted subSilver. See my other message... Sorry...

OK, but loved the sub-silver more then the yellow. Think it's to flashy.
Thank god it's just yellow and not orange :lol:

Looks good although I don't usually go on the front page since I bookmarked the forums for my devices.

There is a solution to everything.. Or a work around too.. Answering q & a section to get 10 posts isn't that hard... It only takes at max an hour to get to 10 posts legally...
What I mean is it looks daunting task at first.. But it's really easy..
If you can't even make such small contribution towards community, then how can you help in dev section.. If you have enough knowledge to help in dev section can't you help non tech savvy people in question & answer section?

New panels?

just randomly checked the sony website, and there are two new panels...
Test CNN panel B10
and
Test Gokivo Navigation B10
http://www.sonyericsson.com/fun/wxh...ntentItemId=36424;ts=1247690304226;phoneId=-1
Don't know how long they've been up, so apologies if this has been posted already (i did quick search before posting and found nothing)
The Test CNN panel has a funky new 'roladex' style front page (3D), and it's generally smoother
The Gokivo is pretty slow to search for places considering I was on Wi-Fi connection, looks like a pretty good panel though, only had a quick look in the menu, and it's got traffic updates too. It's kinda like a cross between TomTom and Googlemaps. Didn't have time to test it, but here's the website link:
http://www.gokivo.com/
So maybe SE haven't quite given up on the xperia just yet....?

they have been out for quite some time, and you know what the good thing about WinMo is: even if developers stop making official stuff, XDA people still make apps that will keep ur phone hip and great for another 5 years

already gone
Found the panels also during a random check and immedatly download the Gokivo panel to try out.
too bad they already disappeared from the SE site. probalby not quite finished yet
I quickly tried Gokivo on my Xperia. it looks good but its very slow in searching and updating maps.
like mentioned in previous post it's in between TomTom and google maps but needs to be a lot faster to be useable.
I hope it gets back on their site soon!

Any chance you can share it? I went to the SE site and thought they might have hidden it from me because I'm not in Nth America or Europe - but now I see it was actually pulled.

well I was thinking.. since they have 2 more xperia phones coming out.. if the panel system isn't being ditched, then perhaps some would be reversely compatible?
just a thought.

You get two games after registering, Texas Hold'em poker and something else.
I loved the poker game but after something like ten games you get locked out and it requires a monthly subscription.

Cool, but asphalt 6 doesn't even download cuz it's not optimized for our device. I downloaded Need for speed and it's free but it's just a trial,

That's odd. Asphalt 6 installed fine for me. But NFS was a trial :-(

Did it?? Are u rooted? Maybe it's the kernel I'm using.Hmmmm.

I posted about the Samsung App store and the free asphalt 6 version being offered about a month ago. Specifically how we can't download asphalt 6, so if you've figured out how to DL that specific title please share the details.

what stock apk do you mean? if you mean the Samsung app store app then the one I posted is stock pulled from original galaxy s 2.

So far I've been able to download 2 out of three apps. The only I had a problem with was Asphalt 6. Thanks for posting.

downloaded to pc but it won't download to the S2
its always download unsuccessful. I even "logged in" first with the browser thinking thats why it did not work.
sending the link download fails. using the qrcode download fails. is it something silly stupid I am doing wrong? (jacking usb now to install)

Thanks Jase, I installed the APK and it works perfectly. Looks like a few good games, others seem like trials. One BIG issue I have with the app, is that it does not seem to show permissions the apps want as you instal them, so you never know. NOT a plus.

When the app is about to be installed, there are permissions being shown. Unfortunately... The permissions down seem to be EVERY SINGLE THING THAT COULD BE ASKED FOR. I don't understand why a ns trial game has to read my text messages, but whatever.
Is there any chance we can get a list if full games on this list? I'm tired of downloading something just for it to be a 3 minute trial.
Trying out this E4GT...

All the cool, fun games seem to be demos...

reply.. having issue also
I'm also having trouble just getting the apk file to download. Everytime I try it just says download unsuccessful. Even tried the QR code and that was also unsuccessful.
I don't have internet at my house right now so i'm not able to download the file to my PC. My phone is rooted and I do have tethering but its really not useful for me right now cuz where I live i'm lucky if I ever get 2 bars on my signal. So without a good signal its hard to tether..
So its there another way for me to be able to download this apk??
Thanks

All downloads went through, but this app kills my battery...i was wondering what kills my battery so quick all of a sudden and i believe this app was involved. So i removed it, and battery is well

I guess it doesn't work on third party roms?

[ROM][CDMA][KANG] Miui 1.12.9 12/24/11

First and foremost, the script used to create this is from jt1134. My complete boredom wanted an updated MIUI build that will stay updated. This is my only android device worth a damn so I am just bored with it. Without his script I wouldn't have been able to do this. So many thanks to him.
Ported from the latest official fascinate rom and will stay updated. The theme in the picture is not default, it is only shown for theme working purposes.

I will look at it. I just installed the wrong theme so I have to hard reset..

Can't seem to get the Control Panel App to apply the settings.
Two more things I noticed, the trash can menu that up when deleting an icon doesn't stretch to the end of the screen, as well as the sound recorder app.

The lockscreen also is not centered in some themes, making it unable to unlock the screen. I had to reflash once.

Guys if you want to fix off centered Widgets you have to set dpi to 300

Yeah thats something I can do nothing about. Check out the miui theme thread in the themes and apps forum. It has to do with the theme not ported for tablets.

Yeah but in my opinion it makes everything look like crap. But just my opinion. I am looking to mod the launcher to have more columns too.

This is great news. Good to see one of the best ROMs in my opinion, MIUI, now available for CDMA Tabs. Keep up the good work!

I'm curious if GPS works in this build.

Sony SmartWatch 2 - Weather app won't update automatically

Hi guys!
I'm facing a really annoying problem. After the last update from Sony Weather, the little app is stuck, and won't update anymore...
Is anyone else facing the problem? A possible sollution?

Yep it was discussed already in another thread and there is no solution unless Sony updates...

In fact there is a solution. Installing the ap smartweather for smartwatch, which is much better than the official one.
You can find it in Google play, although it's a paid app but it deserve the price.

No, that's not a sollution.
Sony MUST fix this ASAP!
Maybe the app works only on 4.4.4 devices. Can someone confirm that?

Of course they should fix this bug, but I hope they make the ap even better, because I demanded a long time ago to have manual update by long tap on the watch and it never came true. However I have this wanted feature in the ap I suggested before. You can try it in the meanwhile, maybe you'll like it [emoji4]
Tapatalkeando

My solution
I looked for the app in APTOIDE store, and downgraded it to the earlier version. Now it's working perfectly.

Could you please share the apk? Thank you!

That would be nice... The previous version worked just fine.

Sony's silence is a shame... I sent them an email and put a 1-star comment on the app, no reply, not even an acknowledgement.
If they don't know how to fix it, they could at least have reverted back to previous version.
As a retaliation, I just rated all of Sony's SW2 related app 1 star on the Play Store, and I invite all angry customers like me to do the same.

that needs to be fixed asap...

Well, over 3 weeks passed since I've submited a shameful review on Play Store, about Sony's Smart Weather App, and STILL NOTHING!
Sony, where are you?

sorry, don't know how to share the .apk
you can download aptoide, it's very easy!
then search for the app and click on "versions", then download.

Hi guys,
Can someone guide me to a "clean" 1.0.15 version as all files I find ask for strange authorizations (SMS, Calling, etc.).
When I download the Aptoide version I get a 7+ MB file for an app that shouldn't weight more than some 320~ kb. I didn't install any of these as I don't trust them.
Your help would be appreciated... :highfive:
