With this app you can easily configure a system for automatic check rom update, plugin, theme, ecc.

The app is also available in a modded version in Megatron Rom for Asus tranformer with more of 600 download and good review on market, the thead is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1583100

What makes this application?

• Push notification for send check to new rom
• Push notificatio for send message to rom's users
• Check for new rom available
• Show list of kernel which can be downloaded, download it and reboot to recovery
• Show list of plugin which can be downloaded, download it and reboot to recovery
• Show list of themes which can be downloaded, download it and reboot to recovery
• Check md5 for download file
• Check new rom on startup

How to configure
The program is easily to configure.
in your rom you need only a file named update_me.xml in the system folder.
The file must be like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<RomConfig>
    <RomName>Name rom</RomName>
    <RomVersion>0.1.0</RomVersion>
    <RomCheckUrl>http://www.me.com/update_me_ckeck.xml</RomCheckUrl>
    <RomElemUrl>http://www.me.com/update_me_parts</RomElemUrl>
    <CheckMD5>0</CheckMD5>
    <RebootRecovery>0</RebootRecovery>
</RomConfig>

and 2 other file must to be placed online:
- a file with rom info for check new rom availability
- a file with element for rom.

ATTENTION
When the rom is update, the new rom MUST contains a modified update_me.xml with new version,otherwise the app show always the message "new rom available"

an example config is available here
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3681387/config_example.zip

the pack of available icon for tabs can download here
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3681387/icons.zip
in the pack icon named icon_0.png is the number 0 of the config ;D


Supported file host

• direct download file host
• public folder on dropbox, box.net, etc
• goo.im
• xdafileserver.nl
• androidfilehost.com
• all other host as external link

How use push notification on your rom

• Register on http://win.acquariusoft.com/updateme
• Go on "Registered" -> "Rom list" menu
• choose a uid (uniqueid) for the rom. Max 16 chars. and insert a new rom name (need only for list, can be different from name inserted in the config). If uid is already used a message is promped
• if it's all ok, you see your rom inserted.
• now you can inserted your uid in the config using updateme.otauid in the build prop and <OtaUid>xxx</OtaUid> in the xml
• when new version is available if you go to info of rom you can send new version check and message to all users!

How check md5 work
if check md5 is enabled for a file, the program check for a file name with the same name of file plus .md5sum like: app.zip and app.zip.md5sum
with contains md5 plus filename.
if the host is goo.im the md5 is read directly from page

Donate
if you like my work, donate me a beer!!!!

FAQ

Some link inserted in my xml file don't work

Some link with strange caracters don't work in xml, you must surround the link by CDATA tag like

<DonateUrl><=!=[=C=D=A=T=A=[http://forum.xda-developers.com/donatetome.php?u=xxxxxx]=]=></DonateUrl>

How can i call you app from my app?

Simple, insert this code if you use Update me

Intent intentDeviceTest = new  Intent("android.intent.action.MAIN");
intentDeviceTest.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.acquariusoft.UpdateMe","com.acquariusoft.UpdateMe.UpdateMeActivity"));
startActivity(intentDeviceTest);

And if you use Update me Smartphone

Intent intentDeviceTest = new  Intent("android.intent.action.MAIN");
intentDeviceTest.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.acquariusoft.UpdateMeSmartphone","com.acquariusoft.UpdateMeSmartphone.UpdateMeActivityOld"));
startActivity(intentDeviceTest);

Thanks! I'll try it with my OpenSensation nightlies. I have only one feature request: It would be nice if we could configure a custom User-Agent.

yes, i can do.
For what operation do you need a custom user-agent?
xml download, or also rom and other thinks download?

Version 1.0.1 beta with support to custom user agent

in update_me.xml

add a UserAgent field with the string for user agent.

tell me if work

Custom UserAgent works fine. Thanks! But I have two problems:
1. When I press "Info" the App crashes. (Logcat)
2. When I go into Settings and press "Check for ROM update" the App crashes. (Logcat)

Can i see you update_me.xml?

where you have put it?

Inviato dal mio Transformer TF101 usando Tapatalk

$ adb shell cat /system/update_me.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<RomConfig>
    <RomName>test</RomName>
    <RomVersion>20120408</RomVersion>
    <RomCheckUrl>http://files.tamcore.eu/android/update_me_check.xml</RomCheckUrl>
    <RomElemUrl>http://files.tamcore.eu/android/update_me_parts.xml</RomElemUrl>
    <UserAgent>test</UserAgent>
</RomConfig>

the problem is romversion.
this field must have the format 1.0.0. you can do something like 2012.4.9
also in the other config files
