No it's not listed, when I look at the market page for it (I already have it installed) it says the app has been discontinued. There doesn't seem to be anything mentioning this on the dev's blog or twitter though

Hmm I have the last version released, can upload it if you like?

Its been pulled as the feeds have changed and something to so with testing the flash implementation, something about over android forums

 

[Kreeeee]

Ah, that's a shame. Tvcatchup doesn't work either.

What app should I use to take screen shots?

 

[mrk]

If you're not rooted then only the SDK can do this.

Download it and from the tools directory run ddms.bat then once loaded select your connected phone and mash CTRL+S.

Go there login/create account.
Follow the instructions.
Download
Put the .apk on the SD card
Install using Astro or whatever.
Make sure its enabled in the KB options.

You can even do it straight from the phone, without using a PC.

I need an app to change/delete the contacts on my sim card that ISN'T contact2sim. Or one that allows me to backup my phone contacts to my memory card. Has to be free as well as I can't pay for apps due to google checkout not accepting maestro.

my swype now says trial ended as doesnt work.

That's strange as my swype beta has been on my phone for months and it still works

I'm sure you can export the contacts to sd card within android..

yeah the swype beta is flaky, even the official beta has problems.

Ok I have the v25 but can't seem to enable the skin

How do you get google earth on the desire?

How do you get google earth on the desire?

You have to manually install the apk file - not sure if we're allowed to post it on here though?

 

[mrk]

Why wouldn't it be allowed? It's a free application. The only reason some people can't see it on the Market is due to a Market bug which Google are working on.
