Interesting, maybe there is some kind of manufacturer check. Both unrooted I guess?
It's hopeful. We're trying!
There is another Manufacturer check that we thought was superfluous ... Just trying to get my server to recompile the .apk.

so it looks like SG & SG2 will both work with custom roms but a stock Kernal and hide root.
So now i need to confirm if any one has it working on a HTC device., I presume it should be the same but cannot check HTC as i do not have one but will have a loan of one in a couple of hrs
But im sure someone will have it going by then
Good work guy,s and SCREW YOU SKY

My experience with the official app:
Changed ROM from Runnymede AIO V6.5 to Froyo 2.2 Stock with root
HTC Desire
Android v2.2
Kernel 2.6.32.15-gf5a401c htc-kernel@and18-2 # 1 (Stock rooted)
Build 2.29.405.5 CL293415 release-keys
Hboot Stock - Alpharev S-Off
CWM 5.8.0.2
Default install - Sky News only (as expected)
Rootkeeper OTA - Root Hidden then checked with Root Check confirmed as not root
Default app still only streams Sky News
Thanks to those DEVS with the knowledge and time to work on this - it is appreciated.

Running DesireHD with Android Revolution 6.3.1
Un-installed Original Test.apk from page 13.
Temp unrooted with Voodoo OTA
Installed Test 0.1.1 - App loads
Sign in - successful
Sky News - Streams ok
Sky One, Movies, anything else, still fails.
Be interesting to see if this works on the Desire HD mentioned earlier that was rolled back to stock.

Just use mobile odin to flash a custom kernel when you need recovery. At the moment ics custom kernels offer you nothing except recovery anyway.
Can someone please mirror a link for a...
intratech stock kernels 2.3.5.

Ps. Recent apk does not work on my rooted sgs2. Maybe due to me having wrong kernel, you guys will know better than me. Hope this little hit of info helps the cause.
Ps. You guys do a great job, so thanks a million!

Think this must be down to the kernel checking then - what's your kernels?
Hi, in response to the new .apk file uploaded by gumbald, the same problem, stuck at 0% loading from my unrooted Xoom tablet..
thanks for the efforts though...

14Sky Go More than 2 Devices
!!EDIT!! Some people have been finding when you create a new account when following this guide, the new account has the devices from the first account replicated into it, any modifications to the devices in the new account affect the original account, I am sorry but I think this is what is "meant" to happen when a new account is created. I dont know of any fix for this unfortunately. !!EDIT!!
Hey Guys, I made a post earlier in this thread stating I knew how to get round the 2 device restriction, several people messaged me asking me for instructions on how to do so, I didnt realise so many people had been restricted by it, however, I was at work and couldnt post a follow up then so here it is.
I am not sure where I should post this, but this thread seems a good enough place at the moment as here is where people will be looking at information about the android sky go app so here goes:
I am not sure if this should be possible via the sky system or whether its just a very unpublished "feature" but you dont have to do anything dodgy to do this, I noticed it was possible when i was setting up an additional user for my housemate.
Basically the gist of this workaround makes use of the ability to link multiple sky user accounts together, if you know how to create sky user accounts, the solution is as simple as to create some more accounts and add more devices to the other accounts. for those who dont know how to do that I have more details below.
I am not sure whether this works for people who pay for the online subscription rather than have the sky service installed in their house. I have sky installed and it works for me.
!!EDIT!! It seems people who only have sky go subscription cannot perform the verify your sky id step and therefore cannot create additional users, not sure if this applies to everyone but quote below from skimminstones says it doesnt work for him with just a sky go subscription !!EDIT!!
Go here and login using your original Sky ID /password:
(I dont think I can post links yet so you will have to make the link)
https:// skyid. sky .com/signin/mysky
Go to Profile & Settings > Additional Users
Click setup an additional user.
Follow the steps to setting up a new user, you need another email address and thats about it really.
Login on the unregistered device with the newly created sky ID/pw
you will now be able to register 2 new devices to this account, the original account will still have the two devices registered.
you can have 9 additional users so 10 accounts in total, meaning you actually register 20 devices, more than most people will need I would think
Good luck, hope this helps those that where being restricted by two devices.
Please avoid replying to this comment in this thread, pm me replies and I will edit this post with information on peoples success with this if you would like. I dont want to hijack this thread at all as really want to see the Sky go app working on my phone.
If a mod wants me to move this somewhere else I am more than happy to do so, but I dont think XDA has a specific sky forum :S14
Interesting link - I think I know why this is happening, let me try something, I'll upload it in a bit.
EDIT: Try the 0.1.3 version. I can't test this at the moment for wi-fi only device, but the app runs without a problem on my phone.11
Looks like this error is "live viewing general error" - has it ever worked? Could be temporary on their side.
Right, here's an updated version that should get people further on wi-fi only devices. Not expecting any video still yet though. There's more of you than I expected!
Usual disclaimers apply: I'm not responsible if your cat runs away, your device gets bricked, Sky send you a bill for "those channels" and your wife finds out. Use this at your own risk.9The .apk is below, please report whether it works.
According to Sky it should only work on:
HTC Desire
HTC Desire S
HTC Desire HD
HTC Incredible
HTC Sensation
Samsung Galaxy S
Samsung Galaxy S II.
And it only works on Froyo (2.2) and Gingerbread (2.3), so no ICS yet using the official app.
There are also some issues with root and DRM begin not able to see some content.
