Bad real life!

Because of real work and real life, we are very late with the next update.
We apologize for this!
Some of you may have read comments that suggest that AndRomeo
deletes all the contacts and collect passwords.


Well, then:
AndRomeo has absolutely no access to stored contacts.You notice that even before the installation.

It takes only access to the vibration and the Internet.
Who can read the source code will also notice that there is no
function that transmits the password to our or other servers. 


Apart from the log-in to gayromeo.com

HTC Desire

Please post any issues with the HTC Desire here:


http://groups.google.de/group/andromeo --> Click on HTC Desire thread!

As some errors seem to be only reproducible on that specific device. 

We do not have a refference device, so we can not test it ourselfs. 

The application is tested on the following devices: 

HTC Dream / T-Mobile G1 

HTC Hero / T-Mobile G2 Touch 

Motorola Milestone / Droid

Samsung Galaxy S (I9000)

1000 Downloads

The AndRomeo OSP Team want's to thank all users for all the replies, bug reports and feature requests.
Today we've reached 1000 Downloads.
That's amazing!

Thank you all so much for using our app!

We may be not allways on schedule, but we will still work on the app to improve it's stability and features. :-)

Have fun and enjoy the summer - make sure that you have AndRomeo running in background! ;-)

AndRomeo 0.1.8 will be released

At sunday, July the 4th, we'll bring 0.1.8 to the market.

This release is a bugfix release: the application should become faster and more stable. The list of new features is not so long (a refresh button, some image optimizations, a settings menu).

But our first goal was a little more stable application before we implement new functions. The current developer version is crashing more infrequently, and there are fewer lags now while using the app.

Furthermore it's rock stable while you're switching the networks: it recognizes a session timeout correctly (in many times) or a defective network, and automaticaly tries a re-login.

The next versions will include new functions like a search functionality, or a database for caching data or images for a more fluent experience (and a more nice gui, too ;)

Stay tuned.

Some of you have probably noticed that the version info is outdated in the "About this app" window. Do not worry, the version is 0.1.8. We have just forgotten to update the information.Furthermore, "New in this version" is filled with a Lorem Ipsum text. Please ignore. Thank you! :-)


P.S.: We just don't want to bother you with an update, that just brings a new version info!

AndRomeo Group - Discuss - Give Feedback - Make Suggestions

To give you more space, to discuss functions, give feedback on the app, request features [...], than this blog can offer - we opened up the AndRomeo Google group.

You can visit the group by a click on this link: http://group.andromeo.org

On the navigation bar to you right, there is a group label as well.

We would love, to answer to your suggestions and issue reports right in the Android Market, but there is no way to contact you. :-(

So to make a start, we copypasted some entries to the group, to answer them!

AndRomeo & AndRomeo OSP finden Beachtung auf inqueery.de!

Da dieser Eintrag nichts mit der App als solches zu tun hat, ist er ausnahmsweise auf Deutsch gehalten.
Im genannten Artikel geht es natürlich weder um Andromeo von gimli, noch um AndRomeo OSP.
Der Artikel beschreibt, wie Apple die iPhone App MobileRomeo aus dem eigenen App-Store gebannt hat.

Wir wünschen uns, dass die App schnell wieder in den App-Store aufgenommen werden kann.

Neben der traurigen Tatsache, dass Apple eine gute App aus dem Store geschmissen hat, finden die beiden Android Apps zumindest am Rande noch Platz.

Ich finde, am Rande erwähnt, ist besser als gar nicht. :-)

P.S.: Am Spaßfaktor wird noch gearbeitet ;-)

AndRomeo OSP 0.1.5 released!

AndRomeo OSP 0.1.5 released

At first we would like to thank all of you, for downloading our app and for your great feedback!

It's true, that coding is more fun when you know, that someone has use for it. :-)
We hope, that you enjoy the new features in AndRomeo OSP 0.1.5!

Localization

AndRomeo OSP 0.1.5 detects your systems language and automaticaly adapts it. At the moment the following languages are supported:
German, English, French, Dutch, Spanish, Italian and Swedish.
Please keep in mind, that some translations might be a bit off.
Feel free to correct any misstake in our web-supported translations. ;-)
If your language is not natively supported by AndRomeo OSP, it automaticaly starts up in english.

Image Zoom

Now you can zoom in / out pictures, that are attached to a message.Profile view now allows to scroll and zoom images.
A paperclip shows, if a message contains images.
The message view now shows only up to 4 images in a row.
(8 images in portrait mode)
Some images might still be off-screen on low-resolution devices.

Redesigned Iconset

The new iconset features completely new icons for any action.
Some of the new icons will be used by future features.
For developers,  all icons (incl. unused) can be found in the repository.
Other inconspicuous things. :)

Bugfixes

App will crash less. Fixed some bugs related to connections.
When your network changes, from 3G to WLAN or from one Hotspot to another, while you login - the app should no longer crash.
You'll get a little message, that your login failed and you can retry instantly. (New error messages are partly localized!)

Keep in mind, that there are still some issues.
We would highly appreciate your comments, thoughts and ideas for upcoming versions.

This App was made for you, so it is important for us, to know what you think about it!

You can download AndRomeo OSP 0.1 by searching for "AndRomeo OSP" in the Android Market Place or by scanning the above QR-Code, that will redirect you to the right place in the market.

***2010-05-11***

Re-designed Graphics, more consistent with the bluish gayromeo design.

Happy-Friday bug fixed.

Smaller app size.

User List Clean Up & Profile View

***Update 2010-05-11 ***

User List has been cleaned up and features static user icons for better separation.
You can now view your friends profiles. Click an username in the User List to open the profile.
The touchfunctionality is deliberately disabled, due to issues when clicking links or photos in the profile view. You can navigate in profiles via your hardkey or trackball!
The profile view also features a static headbanner, that shows the username and onlinestatus.
Because touch ui is disabled in profile view, there are separate buttons to go back to the user list or send a message!

The new version is available via direct download. You can also open the following link in your desktops browser and scan the QR-Code with your mobiles barcode reader.
(f.e.: Barcode Scanner, barcoo or ShopSavvy.)

http://code.google.com/p/andromeo/downloads/detail?name=Andromeo.apk&can=2&q=

Unfortunately there is an issue with opening messages, with no images attached.
To our knowledge, this only affects PLUS-Users / Happy Friday. Will be fixed!

Requires to download the alternative Version from hoenf, that can be found here:

***************************

hoenf added in-message image support.

So now it's possible to view preview images of received photos in messages.

In-Message Picture Support.

AndRomeo 0.0.4

Version 2010-05-08 Changes:

-- contains a heartbeat-service which automatically calls "heartbeat.php" in regular intervals to keep the session alive -- contains multithreading for friendlist and message list -- got full message text in "WriteMessageActivity"

Zumindest kann man jetzt Nachrichten schreiben

... obwohl AndRomeo nicht so voranschreitet wie gewünscht: es ist jetzt möglich, Nachrichten zu schreiben.

Also zwei Sachen kann man damit jetzt schonmal machen:

• Ich kann fragen: Welche Freunde habe ich und wann waren oder wie sind diese online?
• Und: ich kann zu den Kontakten Nachrichten schreiben.

Da ich jetzt weiß, wie das Lesen und Schreiben von und nach GR mithilfe von AndRomeo ungefähr funktioniert, arbeite ich noch an einer vernünftigen internen Klassenstruktur.

So on...

Wir bauen Andromeo

... einen Client, um Gayromeo auf Android-Telefone zu bringen und dem Iphone damit etwas Paroli zu bieten.

Mal sehn was draus wird. Ist aufwändig, Session-IDs und die Benutzernamen korrekt zu übertragen. Sie kann zumindest die Benutzernamen und den Online-Status schonmal auslesen. Recht unformatiert, aber es geht.

Nächstes Ziel ist auch die Messaging-Funktion zu implementieren. Nachrichten lesen, Nachrichten schreiben. Kleiner Step, große Wirkung. Ich denke, bis zum 23.4. steht da was.
