[Q] Using Andorid Apps on Firefox OS 1.3 - Firefox OS Q&A

Hello,
a colleague of mine is able to run Android Apps on his BlackBerry with an App. Is there a way do the same with Firefox OS 1.3? I'am using a ZTE Open C.

I don't think so, or let's say, I have serious doubts about that, since Firefox OS is based on JavaScript and HTML. Probably it wouldn't even work with a JVM-implementation written in JavaScript (see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12316557/javascript-jvm-implementation), because of the CSP and app permissions.

That's too bad. Let's hope someone will find a solution for this problem

interesting link, dalvik vm does not exist in b2g/FirefoxOS so I'm curious how the apps would be able to work.

They basically port the runtime and put a native wrapper around it. They "did" this for webOS and the HP TouchPad, but it was very, very, very limited and they cut and ran almost immediately after they released the initial version.
Stay far away.

Hermes equivalent Firefox

I did a search and found no thread on this.
I am looking for a Hermes portable Firefox browser. I miss the tab function when browsing with the standard IE. Any ideas.
Hi there!
As far as I know, there is no mobile Firefox browser. However, for tabbed browsing you could try SPB Pocket Plus with IE. There is also a mobile version of Opera, which I enjoy very much: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401643

Yes there is a mobile firefox for WM devices
It is Here: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/minimo/
I used it a few times, and I am going to install it again tonight as it has google maps built in as well

That project is old and discontinued. Check out Mozilla's latest efforts here:
http://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile
regarding MiniMo - agreed... you'll hate it... I also tried BlueFish from Micro$oft - even suckier. Looking forward to trying skyfire... Unfortunately, for the moment, Opera is your best option...
I hated it.
I didn't see you post, so I went ahead and installed it.
Its slooooow, hangs, bad graphics (splashed all over).
I will remove it today.

This seems like a work in progress, maybe by August there will be something usable.
Thanks
I have both Opera Mini and Mobile versions currently installed on my Hermes. I personally find Mini to be significantly quicker (loading/page rendering, etc).
Sorry...
Yeah, I installed it again... Yeah it sucks. Well, there is always something else on the horizon for us to try.
This minimo guy refuses to be removed any heads up on that.

[Q] Android Market across versions

Hello,
My friend is going to T in the Park (a music festival) I found an app on the market for the event, line up, schedules and the like by searching "titp".
I got him to search for it on his HTC Hero (which is still running 2.1 as he is a wuss and refuses to root it) and the app is not there. I tried changing security settings and allowing unknown sources but still nada.
Is it not showing up because it is incompatible with his Android version or am I forgetting something?

Yes, it's incompatible either with his Android version or his screen resolution.
Try sending him the apk!
Thanks.
I will do that. He probably wont install that way, as I said he is a total wuss.

Formbee,
I developed the app using Corona SDK and it'll therefore only work on ARMv7 phones running 2.2 or higher. An annoying limitation that I wasn't aware of until I was halfway through developing it. Android Market only displays apps that meet the conditions in the manifest for the app...so in this case 2.2 and up, and ARMv7.

SketchBook Pro - Fake Honeycomb?

Hello,
I own a Nook Color and plan to use it along with notebooks in school. I am getting a stylus, but the problem is the app. Is there a way to install SketchBookPro on the Nook Color? I'm running MIUI ROM. Thanks.
EDIT: Is there a way I can fake honeycomb to run this app?
You could use Sketch Book mobile but PRO requires Honeycomb.
Yeah you have to use Sketch Book Express (Free) or Sketch Book Mobile ($.99). Unless you install one of the Honeycomb roms.
Alright thanks. Boy am I sometimes dumb... figures. Thanks again!

I purchased and use the Sketchbook Mobile application and find that I really like it. It scales well to the display of the NC.
I can recommend it as well.
Thanks, but I just installed Honeycomb. Just to use this app.
Just went back to MIUI for the speed. Now i'm wondering if there is a way to fake honeycomb to run this app? Or modify it to run on 2.3.3? Because I doubt it uses anything honeycomb dependent. Thanks!

Instead of being rude you could explain why you can't. Things tend to stick when you explain why. I don't think we need comments like that in XDA.

You can modify the AndroidManifest.xml file setting minSdkVersion="8" for froyo. I've done this for SketchBook Express free version and you can download it here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=A5WAH4PJ

This modified apk will install fine on CM7, but force close when you try to run it because it calls on the ActionBar API, which is Honeycomb-specific. You can see this by following the logs.

To do this yourself next time follow these steps:
1. Use Madcat's sdk port running on Rack's SD card to install Sketchbook Express from the Market and retrieve com.adsk.sketchbookhdexpress-1.apk from /data/app
2. Get APK Manager 4.9: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695701
3. Update apktool to 1.4.1 (051511 release) for xlarge support: http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/downloads/list
4. Extract Honeycomb framework-res.apk from any duodexed HC ROM, I used Xoom Tiamat 3.2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1203635
5. Install HC framework for apktool per instructions here: http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/wiki/FrameworkFiles
6. Use APK Manager to extract and decompile com.adsk.sketchbookhdexpress-1.apk
7. Modify the AndroidManifest.xml file with a text editor, I used Notepad++ in Windows
8. Use APK Manager to compile and sign apk.

Don't bother with the stylus. They don't work well at all on the Nook... even the capacitive styluses.

Ditto on the stylus issue...tried quite a few, haven't come across any that work well. Seems like the area the stylus touches isn't specific enough for any fine detail, or even writing properly.

CloudOn

Hi friends
This app seems like a good document editor for MS office and pdf, the user interface looks decent and there are dropbox, Google drive integration.
I'm curious on trying this app, but my Tablet isn't eligible for the download due to region restrictions.
Could a kind soul grab the app for me on Google Play and post the apk here?

works on my HTC flyer, couldn't DL it from the play store...
Works on my Transformer Prime in Belgium ^^
It's incredibly amazing, though also paaaaaaainfully slow... not the connection, just the interface. I'd mainly need this for Excel (haven't found an Android Office suite that does XY scatter plots!) but the sluggishness would need some getting used to on my otherwise very fluid device.
The interface is pretty annoying to get around in, since it's so cramped. Luckily my dock's touch pad can help with that. What's weird thuough, is that it doesn't recognize some physical keyboard-specific inputs, like arrow keys. You'd think they might have tested for that?

seems like a cool app. But i guess it will take another 5 years until someone releases this in my country... I mean with keyboard layout and language support and everything.

Edit: Version 2.0.7.33 is the latest.

Could someone with a tablet upload the latest .apk
I got latest phone version through my old HTC Desire(Bravo) but when I install it on my Padfone 2(Which does not have official support for this app yet) it only enables the phone version of this app.
While the version posted up here enable the tablet mode but because they are to old it won't let me login. Giving me an error that these version of the app are to old and no longer supported.
If anyone is interested the phone .apk I can upload it.

[Q] JavaScript on Huawei U8800 Pro

Hi,
Anybody know why I'm unable to run basic jQuery on my Huawei U8800 Pro's stock Android (2.3.5) browser? This simple testcase: produces "Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined". I've tested it on other devices (Samsung Galaxy S and S II) and seems to run it just fine there.
Matter of fact, I often experience sites crashing using this phone. For instance, the other day I wanted to install jsHybugger to try to debug what's going on, but crashed as well.
Thanks.

Hi,
How come JavaScript that works on Samsung Galaxy S (Android 2.2) and S II (Android 2.3) won't work on my Huawei U8800 Pro (Android 2.3.5)?
I'm not getting anything worth mentioning in about:debug, and my stock Android browser just crashes when trying to visit and install jshybugger (dot) com.
Thanks!

First of all, comment out the whole script (just to be sure it's something in there that's causing the issue). If that still doesn't work then post the script here. The most likely reason is different versions of browsers, which is device-dependent as well as OS version dependent.
Dear Archer,
Here's a simple testcase using basic jQuery: http :// jsbin . com / EdUfyio / 1 / produces "Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined". Works everywhere else except for my Huawei U8800 Pro.
Thank you.

Did you try the answer here...
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17595646/javascript-not-working-on-native-android-browser
I notice you've also asked the question on android central and stack overflow and had no luck so far, but it's obvious that jQuery is not loading. It does suggest an incompatibility with something in the jQuery library. Hopefully the debugger will give you more information.
Good luck

It's strange though since jQuery has no problem loading on all sorts of Android 2.2, 2.3 etc. emulations over at BrowserStack.

Well, I already used the debugger. And like I mentioned, the jsHybugger site just crashed. jsHybugger is not on Google Play either. I guess I could download it with my laptop and upload it somewhere temporary for download onto my Huawei.
Was really hoping somebody would know what's up though. Huawei hasn't responded to my enquiry.
