nDroid v1.2.x (Beta) support thread

[bgowland]

I'd intended to post another version sooner than this but it was a bit like cleaning windows...once you start you realise another bit needs cleaning.

I've made quite a few changes to the way the nDroid client app behaves on 'first run' hopefully making it a lot smoother to install. Bear in mind this is Beta code and fairly limited so consider it for 'testing' purposes only rather than relying on guaranteed results.

NOTE: From now on, downloads will be available from the new nDroid wiki page...

• Update to nDroid client - added channel numbers to the main channel name area and also to the channel selector popup

I'm trying installing this for the first time. I unzipped the service files, ran the installservice.bat file, and edited the ndroidsettings.xml file.

When I went to the service manager, the ndroidservice service was set to Auto not Manual start. However it wasn't running. When I try to Start it, I get an error saying that it didn't respond in a timely manner. The logfile contains the following:

Code:

My server is Windows 7 64-bit. I tried putting the service files in both the C:\Program Files (x86)\ directory and the C:\Users\Public\ directory. Both tries gave the same results.

@bgowland, I have the same problem as with the previous version. It doesn't transfer the big listing file. Hopefully other 2.1 users will have better luck.

If you zip and post all of the log files, I'll take a look.

@bgowland, what I posted is the only log file there is.

Thanks Martin, could you let me have the very start of the logcat (sorry, you'll need to uninstall/reinstall again :o ).

It will start like this...

Code:

I'm particularly interested in the last few lines for sdkVersion, CanWriteExtStorage() result and the nDroidFilesDir

[bgowland]

@bgowland, what I posted is the only log file there is.

There should be one more - did you uninstall the nDroidService before you moved it? If not, stop the service (if it's running) and put it back where you originally had it.

Ok
