[Q] Lost my key file that I used to sign my app - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a good app. Its a free educational app with almost 15,000 downloads and almost 5,000 active current installs. Its a shame that I can't update the app because I lost the keyfile i used to sign the app. What can I currently do in this situation?

There is no way if you have lost the key. Next time email it to yourself, to have it forever.
Upload with new package name and add a link to the new package to the description.
There isn't anything you could do else: you won't ever be able to upload an update.

Damn, I'm going to email myself my key right now, that would suck balls.
They should tell you this when creating a key! (I guess they probably do.. I tend to just fill in the blanks and press next...)

Dropbox and 50gbs?

How do we register? Was there paperwork in the box? Aorry my box is miles away from me right now.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
Open the app and sign in/register (as far as I can remember you need to register a new account). Wait for an email to arrive and there is a link saying something along the lines of "Get extra space free". Follow enough steps in there and you're good to go.
PS: Forgot to mention before Dropbox admit they have a limit of 16Gb at the moment unless you pay for an account
Don't need a new account. I have done it with my old one. Just use the app on the phone
worked on mine, i followed the instruction stated:
Take the Dropbox tour Complete!
Install Dropbox on your computer Complete!
Put files in your Dropbox folder Complete!
Invite some friends to join Dropbox Complete!
Install Dropbox on your mobile device Complete!
if you do this you'll see that your space will be updated to 48GB
What have i missed, sounds like we get free dropbox out of the box? Can anyone clarify?

I didn't do the install Dropbox on your computer and install Dropbox on other computers you use
Ok can someone explain to me this. So we get the 48 gig for 24 months, does this means after 24 months we have to pay or else losing the file we uploaded?
Thanks,
Drew
I am almost certain the 2 year limit will work like most other similar services, after the two years they won't delete your items you just won't be able to upload anything else until your back below your limit.

Sweet! Didnt even read about this, was out of the country detached from the world for 7months so soon as i landed i just looked for the highest specs phone and thought XDA would do the rest for me.
Is the info/paper work in the box?
I got a confirmation e-mail about my free 50GB of Dropbox storage a few seconds after logging into the app on my S III.
This takes my free Dropbox account up to 105GB in total! (previously got 50GB of extra storage by logging into Dropbox app from a Sense 4.0 ROM on my HTC Sensation).
To trigger the free space you just need to log in and upload something from your phone.

Seems to be a good option, but I am not coder, I will can't use
its not that complicated. simply look up some tutorials or go to their website and see if you can find help there. youll need to do a little of the legwork yourself.
Hi
I also have the same question, i thought to smanager already.

It's a bit difficult, check this.

Is it me, or does...

Highlight Video basically suck? It's a cool idea, but it's buggy as hell. I'm running rooted and the latest Android Revolution ROM, but Highlight still isn't working properly. You can choose content that you want in the highlight, but the software will not save what you have elected to use, therefore making the entire program basically useless.
Anyone else run in to this, or am I missing a way to save the content you've selected to use?

Come on, someone has to have run in to this or have a way around this or point me in the right direction.

Probably a bug in the ROM. Works fine for me on stock.

Any trick to getting it to work? How exactly are you adding or deleting certain pics that you want, or don't want in your Highlight?
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2
rom bug. maybe
Let me clarify... Highlight itself works fine if I make no changes to the default pictures and videos that the software chooses, however, I cannot get the program to keep my changes when I add or delete certain pictures/videos from a Highlight. It allows me to check or uncheck pictures and videos, it just doesn't incorporate those chosen pictures/videos in the Highlight.
From reading more, I think this may be a known issue and not a ROM specific issue

Make a separate album for the pictures and zoes you want to use. Otherwise it uses all of the ones in the folder to fill up the 30 seconds if they aren't long enough.

So I tried to copy the photos to a new album, but there is no new highlight created. How does this work? I am running rooted stock rom.
When you go into "Event" view rather than "Album" vew, you will see the highlight video. You probably figured this out already.

I actually found to reinstall Themer beta after ROM upgrade :
- after my first Themer install (with the beta code), I did a backup of Themer APK with Titanium backup
- I changed my ROM to a completely different one (though with CM base)
- I restored Themer with the Titanium backup (apk + data)
- upon launching Themer, it asked me the beta code, I put the code I received the first time, and voila! the code was accepted

i know many of u are eagerly waiting to use themer but cant use it due to the huge waiting list.....
so here i present u titanium backup files of fully running themer

1. Install Titanium Backup(root)
2. Extract the TitaniumBackup.zip to a folder named TitaniumBackup(create it) directly in your sd card.

Yeah. This didn't work. Just got a message saying the email with my code was coming soon. We apparently need a code to make this work, and since the code is tied to your device, that probably won't work either.

Ohhhhh okay. Gotcha. Didn't quite understand your question at first! Yeah. That's what I was trying to say, too. I'll give the OP credit, though. It's a good idea in theory. But the guys at MyColorScreen know what they're doing! They don't want those servers working overtime!

Now, if this were an OPEN beta, I wonder if the desirability factor would be as high as it is now?? As I said in another post people want what they can't have!

That's true mate.. It's like a magic trick where people are so eager to know and once they get their hands on it then they loose the interest...But i'm certainly hoping for the best with themer app because I've always watched a 20+ minutes videos from Mycolorscreen but Couldn't get what I wanted.

The themes DO look very attractive! If they can simplify the process, great! If they can show us how to make original themes, even better! But I somehow don't think this app is for making original themes.

Did anybody notice my previous post? It actually worked for me, I was able to switch ROM and have Themer working again with my original code, without the need to ask the devs anything. I thought this information would be useful to some.

Tapatalk Records User URLs?

Every link you click on from Tapatalk seems to be passed through link2.tapatalk.com.
If you go directly to the website, it shows the following:
If you’ve landed on this page, you may be wondering exactly what it’s all about.
We’re Skimlinks — a service that helps online publishers earn money.
When links in publishers’ content lead their users to click through and buy from an online retailer, we make sure they’re rewarded!

This is happening even in the paid version of the Tapatalk.
Isn't this rather shady?
And now!!!!
YOURE BORN AS A ORIGINAL,DONT DIE AS A COPY!!!!GREEEEETZ!!!
That's fine. Looks lazy but not shady
With this, Aren't they capable of capturing recording all links we click on in Tapatalk?
Very shady I think. I'm sure I've never seen a warning telling us (the users) they do that. (Perhaps it's in the small print?)
Is it possible to remove this from the app?
Not only is it shady, but it is also very annoying that it prevents any other apps besides web browsers from handling the intent sent when clicking a link. For instance when I click on a YouTube link, YouTube doesn't show up in the list of apps that can handle it because the URL is to the tapatalk website.
It is very disappointing that it breaks the functionality of intents...

We should write to tapatalk to complain to them

..and now you should think about the word "privacy" and what it means to you. :silly:
This has bothered me since I installed Tapatalk a few weeks ago so i decided to write an app to fix it today. I've uploaded it to GitHub and will try to get an apk on the Play Store some time soon.
https://github.com/stuartcallison/Tapatalk-URL-Fixer
This app will receive the Intents created by clicking a link in Tapatalk, extract the intended URL, and send out a new Intent. This prevents your URLs from being sent to tapatalk.com, and also restores the functionality of letting different apps handle intents for certain URLs. For example, when you click on a YouTube or Wikipedia link in tapatalk with this URL fixer installed, you will now be able to choose the right app to handle the Intent instead of being forced to use a browser.
To use this
make sure that you clear defaults for whichever app you previously selected to handle the intents from Tapatalk links (probably your browser)
Click a link in Tapatalk, and choose "Tapatalk URL Fixer" to always handle this type of Intent
Now whenever you click on a link in tapatalk you will be presented with the real set of applications that can handle that URL. URLs will no longer be redirected through tapatalk.com
has the apk been uploaded? or do we have to compile ourselves?
Btw, I'm still surprised, I'm the first one to rise this issue on this forum.....
This TapaTalk has been out how many years ago?
Does this say something about how little people care about their privacy being snooped by unknown entities or what?

Well on the one hand it seems pretty shady that they are collecting all URLs clicked within tapatalk and selling them to a third party... But on the other hand you are using their closed source app for your forum browsing already. I just assumed that everything you do in the tapatalk app is known to them automatically. I haven't done much digging but I wouldn't be surprised if more than just external URLs are being sent to their servers.
Fixing the functionality of intent filtering with tapatalk links was my primary motivation for making this app, but added privacy is always nice.

Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk
Sorry for the delay, I was away from the computer for a few days. Give this a try and let me know how it works for you. If everything seems alright I will make a new thread.
Install TapatalkURLFixer.apk
If you have a default application set to handle the Intents from clicking links in Tapatalk posts, clear it ( probably your browser )
Click a link in a tapatalk post and select Tapatalk URL Fixer from the list of options
You should then be presented with another list of options to handle the real URL ( not through tapatalk.com )
If you select Tapatalk URL Fixer to be the default handler of these intents then you shouldn't even notice it after the first time you select it.
Noticed this recently as well and glad to have stumbled on this thread at the perfect time that the fix was released. Thanks.
Works perfectly, thanks!

That YouTube link still launches a list of browsers first even when URLFixer is default.
