[FullHDMI] Official FullHDMI discussion

Re: [FullHDMI] Official FullHDMI discussion -- NOW WITH UNROOTED

I will dedicate part of this weekend to getting it updated. We still have the distribution and authentication problem though.
 
You have customers who paid you money for an app that Google broke. If you could at least post an update when they release the source code.

You did not understand what I said, yardbirdpdx. When it is compatible with GB, how are you going to make it authenticate with Google's market servers?

Or just tell the people who paid you to **** off. And i hope you can get it out with "part" of your weekend as Hdmwin fixed for gb, like the man said, in a few days. Developing is hard work, if you can't keep up just say so and we'll spend our money elsewhere.

Forgot the "lol"...

Buying an app in NO way gives you the right to attack the developer if things aren't 100%. Reaching out is fine, asking questions is fine, but attacking and disrespect is NOT acceptable in the androidcentral forums.

Keep this in mind.

Carry on.

All I was saying was I feel orrebmas could be doing more. At least keeping his loyal fans up to date. My last post was edited so i guess no one will get to judge that but you mr. moderator... And i could be wrong orrebmas, but I believe I have a non market app or two installed... Am I just missing something here? Is it wrong to be a bit miffed when a dev takes your money then violates googles tos and you lose your app? Just fix the Damn thing.

You mis-understand the situation, some of it is not in the developers hands.
Sure be miffed. Dont use inappropriate language and keep it classy, I don't think that's asking for much.

If you have any more questions about the forum rules, or this incident feel free to PM me.

Yes you are. The app implements Google's market licensing libraries to verify that a user did pay and not using a hack version. With Google pulling the plug, the app will receive a generic "Do not authenticate" response from Google. Your non-market apps are free apps which do not attempt to authenticate with Google's servers.

Please let me know how I violated the TOS if you have an answer.
P.S. If you bought the app after May 2nd, then Google has your money not me.
 
Well i guess I know nothing and am not classy enough for the Internet. Google, sprint, and htc pretty much screw us out of full functionality of our phones and i was really happy that someone found a non rooted workaround. But whatever. Take your sweet time. No one really cares about playing games on their TV.

Wait, what? I know I haven't talked with you lately (need to fix that) but seriously? Now I'm really glad I passed up the job with their Android Development dept.. That's total BS. It certainly explains a few things like Google not responding to you or me (after I told them who I was). If anybody had any doubt about something foul going on I think it's pretty clear now.
I won't be able to get the site moved to stormwire til next week but hopefully we can set something up for current users atleast provided you have a user database you can access.
 
Re: [FullHDMI] Official FullHDMI discussion -- NOW WITH UNROOTED

Attaching a patched version which works with Sense GB. This is for rooted phones right now however. The old method of accessing the HDMI port without root permission does not work anymore. I will be looking into a different way of doing that, until then there are two things you need for this apk to work:
1. Root access.
2. Existing license file.
Since Google pulled the app from the market, it will always fail to authenticate upon launch unless you already have an existing license file on your phone (in which case it will not try to authenticate with the market). If you do, I suggest backing it up (located in /data/data/com.orrebmas.fullhdmi/shared_prefs).
 
Re: [FullHDMI] Official FullHDMI discussion -- NOW WITH UNROOTED

AWESOME!!!! I've been waiting sooooooooo long to try Synergy!! INSTALLING NOW!!!!!! Thank you so much Orrebmas!!!! :):):):):):):'( as you can see, I'm also crying tears of joy! hahaha
 
Re: [FullHDMI] Official FullHDMI discussion -- NOW WITH UNROOTED

Hey Sam, so im figuring that Synergy with Godmode should work fine? Hope 720 still works! (fingers crossed)
 
Re: [FullHDMI] Official FullHDMI discussion -- NOW WITH UNROOTED

That's great Orrebmas! Good work! We realize you aren't out of the woods yet, because of the whole screw job from Google.

I am just throwing out suggestions here, and they may not be viable, so anyone, feel free to give feedback. Once you get your GB version working, there may be some options to get it back out to your paid customers, and still make it available for purchase by new customers.

Option 1

Open a new developer account. Re-release FullHDMI under a different name. The downside is that those of us that have paid, may have to buy it again. Is there any way for you to know based off their gmail account when someone emails you, if they had previously purchased your app? If so, here is my thought. I personally wouldn't mind paying you again for the app. Consider a donation for your continued development. $5 over again would be the least I could do for all you have done. But that's just me. Anyone who did pay, and doesn't want to again could reach out to you, or maybe you could enlist Loki's help here, and if their email checks out, just refund them directly through paypal or something.

Option 2

You get a new developer account, re-release, and price it lower, something like $1, for 24 hours. Hopefully no one would have a problem throwing a buck your way. After that go up to full price. You will probably have plenty of people screaming about having to pay again, but just politely apologize and take it one case at a time.

Option 3

Release it in another market like Slide-Me, and use the same methods from options 1 or 2 for taking care of new and existing customers. Yongzh got pulled from the market, moved N64oid to Slide-Me and made it free for a couple of weeks. But, when he released an update for it, it was no longer free. We all had to pay again to download the update. People weren't happy about it, but he survived.


Hopefully something works. The predicament you are in sucks. Just know that if I have to pay for it again, to renew my license, I have no problem with that.

There's also the option of instead of relying on a market based authentication - using a hash key. (Like Titanium Backup - it's sold in market, and given away as free download, but requires a hash key saved on the SD card to unlock as registered) - I know it's not AS secure as market license, but it's also an option

Re: [FullHDMI] Official FullHDMI discussion -- NOW WITH UNROOTED

while you're crying tears of joy I'm just straight crying because I do not have a rooted phone and I have been waiting so long for this app to come out and you're saying it is only for rooted phones that sucks,I really hope you get the unrooted version working ASAP ..... :'( still patiently waiting for some news on this ....but until then I'll be crying ...long live orrebmas!!!!!
 
Re: [FullHDMI] Official FullHDMI discussion -- NOW WITH UNROOTED

orrebmas. This is fantastic news! I'm on a stock Evo, paid my $5, and just LOVED the FullHDMI app. It really was fantastic. I'm patiently awaiting your fix for GB. I have faith in you, believe you can do it, believe you will find a good way to get the fixed app to us, and don't believe for a second you intend to take anyone's $5. AND...to anyone out there freakin' over their $5...MY GOD MAN...it's only $5!!! It's a single beer in a bar (which u p*ss out in an hour anyway). FCOL...get a grip on your $5-freaking-out-self. THANK YOU orrebmas. Loving your work. You are an artist, my good man.
