it needs files from ril , and that can't be used because it is based on another chipset , so someone would need to rewrite the drivers (but then you could actually make a whole new app , and that would only work on full unlocked phones )

So we can't just take those files and place them into a ROM? Like what people have done with the HTC drivers to get the HTC Hub working?

no, doesn't look like it , htc drivers are software drivers , we need hardware drivers and we dont have them for 8x50

doesnt work on my HD7 ( tango custom rom)

So I just clicked the marketplace link for this. After sideloading it to my ATT Focus S and it says there is an update available to v1.8 but it says it's not available for my device and won't install. Anyone got the new version? And after reading this thread, this was not installed stock only phone. Just did a hard reset yesterday. Unless I was blind.

Sideloaded apps that have the same GUID as Marketplace apps will show updates available, but the updates won't install; you can't install a Maketplace app on top of a sideloaded app (or vice-versa, I think, although I'm less sure about that).

@Magpir: Unless your HTC phone's ROM contained Samsung gen2 drivers, no, it won't work. Such drivers *could* be added, though; the Samsung ROMs support TouchXplorer, which requires an HTC driver.

Is there a chance that this is carrier dependant? I am on AT&T and the marketplace link will load for me but I can't install. I uninstalled 1.7 to see if I could download 1.8 from the marketplace.

Anyone with a Flash or Focus S try downloading this lately?

aaargh!! really need that function!

i know there are gifted devs here!! please, we rely on you!!

still no update???

come on? if nokia apps can work in other device manufacturer, by now someone should have this working already

Ummm... @Magpir, it's quite obvious by you saying this that you have no idea how these apps work. Nokia apps that use Nokia firmware drivers can't be used on non-Nokia devices. Samsung apps that use Samsung firmware drivers can't be used on non-Samsung devices. This app uses Samsung drivers...

Basically, any OEM app that requires ID_CAP_INTEROPSYSTEMS is unlikely to work on any other OEM. Some, like HTC Hub, will mostly work except for a little bit of device-specific functionality. Others, like HTC's Sound Enhancer, won't work at all. This falls into the second category. For a Nokia example, Nokia Drive contains no device-specific code at all except for a check on the OEM name in DeviceInformation. Nokia's Network Setup app requires access to Nokia's equivalent of the HtcProvisionDrv.dll driver, though, and won't work on any phone without that driver.

Hypothetically, it's possible to take OEM drivers from the official firmware and put them into custom firmware for other phones. This means you might be able to do a custom ROM that incorporated the required drivers from a second-gen Samsung. It's not nearly as simple as you seem to think, though.

Also, your post is unhelpful and contrary to the spirit of XDA-Devs. If you want this, go make it happen! Don't complain that other people aren't working fast enough, though, or even request ETAs; these things take time, and most of us have many demands on our time already.
