Fixed a Bug in UpdateCheck
Reset the update.json File back to default for all the people that switched to beta.json

CM-Updater 4.5

Updated Translations
Major Code cleanup. Hope i made no Mistakes
Theme Version is now Displayed in the Dropdownlist. So if you changed your Theme name to contain the Version name, change it back, or the Version is Displayed twice
Theme Version is now String Compared, so you can also have a Theme Version like 1.4.5-r3. But remember: 1.4.5-r3 is "greater" and newer than 1.4.5
When you cancel the download, the half downloaded File gets deleted
Progress dialog when applying an existing update without md5sum is now disabled
new logcat command is adb logcat cmupdater:V *:S Now windows user friendly
Download is not completly canceled when you hit the cancel button
Now you can add Multiple Theme Servers (sooooooooo much work)
New UpdateCheck mechanism. It will only notify you on NEW updates. So you can use the automatic UpdateCheck again
Toasts on MD5verification failure or other downloading Problems
Now you can update the Theme Servers with a List of Featured Theme Servers
When you disabled a Featured Theme, and the URL changes (after updateing the Theme Servers again) the disabled state remains
Remove the scan update.zip qr menu item, cause people get confused about it
When coming from an older cyanogen rom, you get update instructions

CM-Updater 4.1

Fixed Bug when changing orientation while Barcodescanning
Fixed Bug with MD5SUM to Pad the String to 32chars
UpdateFolder can now be changed (i think its beta )

CM-Updater 4.0

Support for Theme Developers to provide their updates also via the updater
Progressdialog on Updatechecking will now go away on errors
Mod Version in Title Bar
Updated Translations
Seperate JSON File for Themes. Also via Barcodescanner
URL Checker when entering new UpdateServer urls, so there will be no Exceptions
themes.theme File configurable via Advanced Properties
ALternative md5sum Method, so the md5sum binary is not needed
No Updatecheck Exceuted --> Last updatecheck was printed as Mindate. its now a String.
When no themes.theme File is present, a Wildcard is used for Updates, so you can install them, without having this File. Your SystemROM still must match the Property in the JSON so you will not mess up your system. You can also put a * in the themes.theme File. It has the same effect
New Structured Preferences Menu
Loading image is displayed while app is loading. No more black screen on starting

CM-Updater 3.7:

CM-Updater 3.1.1

The App will Prompt you to uninstall any old Version. The dialog will pop up, till you uninstall the old Version

Changed the Package name, so we can put it on the Market
Old Version MUST be uninstalled to make the App start. So we can be sure that there will not be 2 cm-updaters and 2 backgroundservices on your system
Korean Translation
Italian Translation
Removed unneeded code

CM-Updater 3.0 (uninstall old Version first)

Download should be cancelled correctly(no more downloading in the background)
Download will now be cancelled, if one of the front keys on the g1 are pressed

Abbility to delete only the selected Update in the Update folder instead of the whole folder
Fixed the Translation Bugs that force closes (some strings will be in english)
User is redirected to Updater Chooser Layout after a fresh install(No metadatafile in cache) when there are Updates in the Update folder, so he can apply them through the app
Added a Check Now Button on the UpdateChooser Layout (point Above) if no metadatafile is cached (otherwise you have to da a menu --> check now )
Orientation Changes in the Download View no longer cancels the download
New Item in JSON File to support the upcoming Cyanogen MyTouch Mod (board: board1|board2|board3...)

New Landscape Wallpaper
Notifications can now be disabled at all. But when no Notifications are selected, no automated Updatechecking will be done
Changelog via Menu. This opens just the Browser and redirects to the Google Code Page. Internal Changelog programmed, but there are a few layout issues so it will probably in the next release.
Changes of the MetaData File URL now works immediatly

I would be incredibly grateful if someone took this on and got it working. I have no problem creating a metadata file on my server.

il do as much leg work as i can and let u know when the source is ready...

im not sure how to compile (kinda new to this) so any pointers would be great

[garok89]

anyone know how to make it automatically figure out the most up to date version from

http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/experimental/

and figure out which "update-cm-3.9.X-signed.zip" is the most recent?

as i said, my background is more is shell scripting and C than Java and Android

[FireFart]

Text file must be in this Format:

PhoneType|VersionCode|ModVersion|VersionTextToDisp lay|Info|MD5HASH|Mirror1|Mirror2|Mirror3|....

PhoneType: I think in cm Builds its always ADP1
VersionCode: I think its an internal Versioncounter to check if updates are available
ModVersion: the Text from the ro.modconfig in /system/build.prop
VersionTextToDisplay: Text that will be shown
Info: Text with Info about this build
MD5HASH: MD5 Hash from the Update.zip
Mirror1: Url to the ZipFile

[Stigy]

Well there already is the GetCyan script: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540615

That can be used as a base to this piece of software.

I use the getcyan script all the time to check for new versions.
