Installation Failures for Insanely Large Apps - myTouch 3G Slide General

Over the past few months since 'Grocery iQ' has been out, I have been trying to install it. Despite trying it on several different ROMs on my old G1 and now several different ROMs on my Slide (including now Froyo) it seems that it doesn't like to install. From my experience it is the biggest direct-download from the Market that I have come across weighing in at 8.01MB - by 'direct-download' I mean that the application itself is downloaded entirely from the Market and the size I reference isn't from 'additional' files downloaded to the SD card after running the program.
Everytime I try to install it the system just says 'Installation Unsuccessful' and one time I got an error code: -18 (on Eugene's Froyo Kanged RC1). Fortunately I'm fluent enough with the device to have my SDK setup and I grabbed a logcat from the adb server. Using what debugging mind-set I've had from coding I was able to find the problem is:
Code:
D/VoldCmdListener( 122): asec list
I/PackageHelper( 1703): Size of container 10 MB 8401843 bytes
D/VoldCmdListener( 122): asec create smdl2tmp1 10 fat {} 10010
E/Vold ( 122): ASEC file '/mnt/secure/asec/smdl2tmp1.asec' currently exists - destroy it first! (No such file or directory)
W/Vold ( 122): Returning OperationFailed - no handler for errno 98
E/PackageHelper( 1703): Failed to create secure container smdl2tmp1
E/DefContainer( 1703): Failed to create container smdl2tmp1
What exactly is happening here? It almost looks like it's trying to create a secure environment for the install or the program uses copy-protection. Can someone please elaborate on this - hopefully a dev?
Thanks!

Im not a dev but i think its a copy-protection because some copy-protected apps dont install correctly for me from the market/through backup/ but they tend to work when i get it off a site hope this helps or the app has a problem itself, some apps do.

It's strange that they would copy-protect a free application, but not much surprises me now-days, lol.

bluex problem

Hey guys,
I asked in the apps section about bluex. that I tried to use it to transfer files from my phone to a samsung behold and they told me to type this in the terminal:
mv /data/app/bluetoothFileshare.apk /data/app-private/
but when i did It says:
failed on '/data/app/bluetoothFileshare.apk' - No such file or directory
__________________
mv /data/app/com.alex.BluetoothFileshare.apk /data/app-private
this is case sensitive
enjoy
same thing
samething happened...
failed on '/data/app/com.alex.BluetoothFileshare.apk' - No such file or directory
does it matter that I have cyanogen v3.5.2 and my apps are on my sdcard?
isnt bluex automatically in the app-private folder?
so....
Is there something I have to do to get it to work with the samsung behold? Or does it just not work with that phone?
the behold would have to be rooted to receive files...i dont know if it works for just sending files
as far as i am aware the behold isnt even android powered so i dont know how you would expect it to work (in which case negate my last statement)
try this on the g1
cd /data/app/
ls (this will list all the files in that directory)
look for anything relating to bluetooth
mv /data/app/*filename.apk*/data/app-private/
hopefully with apps2sd it will all work out with the sym links
personally i dont use apps2sd so this could be the root of your troubles
instead of this code you could try a "root file browser"
and then im sure you would be able to cut and paste from one folder to another
out of curiosity, did u get bluex from a 3rd party source or the market? if it was the market i doubt there would be any problem (but where is the fun in that?)
good luck
oh, one little note...
if in the unlikely event something screws up n u need to reflash or anything else along those lines, please dont blame me
(im sure you wouldnt anyway, but just incase)
Gonna put my two cents in on this btw.
I'm trying to "pirate" this app (install it after getting a refund from the market. If I give up or succeed in "pirating the app", I'm going to rebuy it), for the sole reason I enjoy a challenge.
I believe that the app is infact not looking for whether a copy is in the app-private folder, but in the app folder.
Let me explain;
You install bluex from the market, it goes to app-private.
you give the application root permissions, and it checks to see whether there is a copy of it in the app folder. No copy, runs fine.
You install the app from an outside source. The install goes to the app folder. You copy the .apk to the app-private folder. The application looks for a copy of itself in the app folder, and OH NOES! it's there, and blocks all access to itself.
Is there anyway to adb an install to the app-private folder?
also, if the app locks itself, uninstall it, then *reinstall,* otherwise, even if you manage to succeed in installing the application and circumventing the security protection, you'll still be locked out of the application.
Bluex solution
this is how i did it - avoiding having to manually do anything
download version 1.1.2 here
rename it to com.alex.BluetoothFileshare.apk (case sensitive)
then stick it on your SD
then download SUFB (super user file browser) here
install this via watever method you normally do (personally i use ESTRONGS File Browser - free from the market)
open SUFB and navigate to /sdcard, find bluex and long press it and select copy and then navigate back to /data/app-private
press menu and select "mount /data RW" then paste bluex into app-private
press menu and select "mount /data R" to stop you screwing anything up by accident
reboot (not necessarily compulsory but it didnt work for me without it even tho bluex did appear in the dash thingie)
after reboot open bluex, enable bluetooth, enable server and enjoy
hope this helps
(the first time i did do this all in the terminal but was too lazy to type it after a couple of reflashes)
what i did find strange was that when doing a straight "mv ....." it worked without remounting RW but when using the file browser it wouldnt work without the remount
enjoy
i do encourage anyone who tries this to buy the app - i too did it for the challenge and then bought it (after my last reflash) (i was paranoid that after a reflash that i had schedualed that i would have to pay for it again). it is a great app and the developer deserves the £1.50
sorry, the links have been removed (for obvious reasons). google for droid appz and you will find a great site with some tips, tricks and appz
what phones does it work with?
does bluex only work with other g1's and android phones? or can you fileshare with blackberry's, iphones, etc.
iv not sent or received from any other phones (im in thailand now and none of my friends have bluetooth, poor them....) but it works great with my computer and the piece of crap dongle in both directions
so i dont see why it wouldnt work with other phones...its just and implimentation of the OBEX standard that is used for both infrared and bluetooth OBject EXchange
enjoy

well I've tried with my friend and girlfriends behold and it will pair but not connect to it. and I'm the only one of my friends that have a g1, they're all iphone junkies :thumbsdown:
as far as i am aware the iphone still cant send or receive via bluetooth just like the g1
i dont think it was introduced in the new firmware upgrade
try it with someone who uses a real phone, not a jumped-up mp3 player
i can pair with my computer but not connect unless its for file transfer
the g1 and iphone only really connect to handsfree kits etc...
try sending something to your computer or something like that, it should work
also, double check that you have server enabled
once you have sent or received from one device, you can set it to automatically accept from that device on all occasions
Bluex>Options>Remote devices options>*device*>automatically accept files
i've been able to send and recieve files from my other phones sony erricson's and random other phones on the bus etc
Root has nothing to do with sending and receiving bluetooth. the only reason you need root on android is because the profile(obex) needed to exchange files is not "built-in" to android. In order to support this profile, the developer probably programmed his app to change read-only files, and that would be why the g1 requires root for obex. phones that ACTUALLY support obex don't require root/superuser/administrative privledges. So in other words, you don't need root for obex unless you're using android.
You guys shouldnt be openly discussing pirating applications. Thats not nice, and you are posting on a DEVELOPER forum. What's wrong with you guys?

Pirated programs IS NOT allowed on this forum.
Meaning if you have to pay for a program, you can not offer it to someone for free.
Warning offered.
my apologies
warning accepted
wont happen again
Idk what ur trying to do but my wifes memoir works flawless with this app and a g1. She can send and receive files from my fone with no problem.

im well aware that phones that already support OBEX dont require root. i hadnt heard of the samsung he was talking about and thought it may have been a soon-to-be android phone...it was released under a different name here and i had interpreted the question as being that the phone ran (or was going to run) android. a simple mistake anyone could make when google is acting up (probably more the ISP than google but you get the point)
as for openly discussing pirated apps, i dont see a problem with it personally as i do things on a try-before-you-buy basis....i know it was stupid posting the links and i apologized for that and the links were removed

[Android] Tattoo and new rootfs

Okay, I finally cleaned up what I've been working on the past few weeks
New sqsh with tattoo senseui!
so this is senseui from the tattoo, so it runs at native resolution 240x320. I have not tested it at *any* other resolution.
I haven't done a lot of testing so I can't guarantee everything works... ie I think that bluetooth might be broken? who knows... other folks please post your experiences!
Please note: I *have* seen the whole thing crash due to WifiService dying on my vogue once... and I've also seen a hard lockup on the polaris once... not sure why or workaround, but it doesn't seem to be commonplace.
I use the tattoo.user.conf and I *don't* use rosie, and it runs nice and speedy... YMMV.
New rootfs that cleans up a *lot* of little things... you can now use the volume-down installer to *update* your nand partitions and back up your nand data! (you first have to have a the nand flash complete before this will work, and you need to use the rootfstonand with the updated rootfs)
Maybe I'll post some screenshots? who knows...
Everything is HERE
EDIT: Forgot the most important part... Credits!
This build is almost entirely from the Belgian HTC Click image posted somewhere out there. Lots of time was spent getting the RIL to talk to the phone application without crashes, but it seems somewhat stable now.
At my disposal I had donut and tattoo builds from enatefox, zenulator, plemen, and maybe a couple others.
Some bits needed to be swapped out to work, and that took the bulk of my time... oh well
I'll also give some creds to the folks over in kaiserland, but I'm not sure who (sorry).
Thanks muchly! Been beating my brains out trying to dyi a port of Tattoo and you've done all the hard work. Made my day, now I can go to sleep....
Trying this out tomorrow. I'll write about anything I see. Nice job.
Thanks Vilord
I'm a big fan of tattoo native resolution senseui.
testing.

NICE JOB VILORD!
Hi,.
Thanks vilord, this is the best build with sense that i have tried.
I have the mount system error the first time i try to boot it, the second time it boot without problem.
Im wrting this from this build
arleybarros: what is the state of android on NIKE at this point? Do you still have no vibrate?
all: I'm still not 100% sure why the installer's choking, but I'll poke it when I get home (I still need to partition the SD on my POLA200, so I should be able to see exactly what you see when I do it)
Sigh, more user freindly
I really don't mean to sound a negative note, your hard work , along with the other devs is sooo appreciated and admired. But for the many newbies that are out here, drooling other the new toys you guys are providing, I would really like to see complete bundles, which are updated as needed, with maybe a version number assigned to each updated build. Because of the modular nature of the OS, it is far to easy to to mismatch components resulting is a royal mess, and a real bad taste for potential users.
Or am I just full of it?
no you're completely right.
Once I get things ironed out with the installer, and after I've gotten some more feedback, I'll put it together with two zip downloads, one for NAND installation and one for haret/SD installation.

Since the vibration was disabled (2009-09-22) all the builds works almost like vogue, except for:
Camera: never worked, maybe because the drivers are diferent or because nike camera max resolutuion is 2MP (force close)
Bluetooth: never worked, maybe drivers
Vibration: disabled
everythig else works perfect.

I am really looking forward to this, but get the same result as lauyanyameric on my Kaiser, afterwards I am dropped to shell .... Anything I can do to help debug?
Tried it without partition, and I get data error and it created a 34 mb data.img.
Tried with a blank data.img (no partitions) and I was able to boot!
Grateful for your work! Thanks.
try formating your sd card again...
So far, so great.
Running via Haret and this is working superbly. Everything that should be working, is working.
So far have tested audio, data, GPS, camera (via Camera Pro), and apps such as Voice Search, Exchange Sync, Market and they all work and are quite responsive.
Noticed a few rosie reloads after using memory intensive apps, so I added a 32mb swap in the conf file. So far no more rosie reloads.
Also, the USB to PC app doesn't appear to like my work machine. Not sure if this is an issue with the desktop or the app.
Will be flashing to NAND after a bit more testing.
Thanks again Jesse!
Cheers
Nick
First off thanks for all the hard work you and others have done bringing android to the vogue. I have donut running off of nand right now and love it but am wanting to try this build but have no idea how to reflash it on there. i have tried searching and searching but i havent found a good answer on how to do it.

Thank you I think doing this will add a layer of usability to the releases, and gain a greater community of users as a result. Personally I would rather have releases further apart in time with this kind of thing rather than a rush to try the newest toy.

No room for apps a43IT uruk 0.7

Is there some way to partition the apps size larger? Can i delete something to gain more room? ive been googling and searching but cant find anything.
5 more posts until i can ask in dev board i guess
im hoping there is just some problem with the old default archos firmware and i can remove it. ive got some other problems now also but cant seem to find any similar issues.
Check your available memory. Settings/Storage
If it doesn't show much available memory you might need to reformat the device and try again.
tried twice already. when i load default archos firmware i can isntall apps fine, its only on uruk7 that i have no room.
My linux knowledge is pretty poor but im hoping someone can help me work through it.

This won't harm. But you've missed some of my questions and this makes helping much harder
You could clarify your free space by doing in terminal (if you don't have it - grab from appstore) or over ssh
Code:
df -h
This will tell you what is mounted on your device and how much spaces is used already. Application are installed in /data filesystem.
i just removed everything. ill try fresh sde and then right into uruk using the same steps as before.
Problem solved. I have nothing but uruk installed and i made large sized partitions when going through the advanced setup just incase.
thanks for the help along the way.
I just upgaded too, and I get the same no space response. However, I backed up all my apps to a folder and then I installed them on Uruk with no problems. It must be an issue with Market because AppLib and AppBrain (web) allowed me to install as well with no issues....

Kindle Fire Software on Gtab (WIP)

I have been trying to get the kindle fire software running on the Gtablet, so far I can get through registration. After that force closes like crazy. If anyone has any ideas that might help feel free to discuss, in the mean time I will keep at it and see what happens, and if I get it to a useful state I will release it. I am currently using Flashback as a base which may account for some of the issues since the kindle fire runs 2.3 however I have had less apps crash on HC.
I have added crash logs below and rather than upload all the apps/libs that are required to even boot the launcher, I have uploaded a CW rom flash for the 1.2 bootloader only!! The rom is tlbardelljr's Flashback with some amazon stuff added.
*Update* I have managed to get it past registration, but then it force closes (com.amazon.kindle.otter). I am now at a stand still until I either learn more about modding apps to work with the core os, or I find a developer who has more knowledge than I to help get this going. If you are interested in helping and are knowledgeable in this area please contact me with a PM. Thanks, and in the mean time I will get to learning
*Update 11-26-11* Thanks to rajeevvp I am getting a little bit further with sorting out errors (I get past registration now) hopefully I will have something new soon.
*Update 12-6-11* The issues appear to be OpenGL/Driver related now, so for now I am putting this project aside. If anyone would like to take over from here feel free.
Warning: This is for testing purposes only!!! Be sure you know how to use nvflash!!!

Just out of curiosity. Since the Kindle Fire software was developed for froyo, have you tried like a vegan tab 5.11 ROM. I know some modules in the kernel software are present in the vegan froyo ROMS that are not present in the later kernels. This is a great idea and I will be watching this thread with great anticipation. Maybe you could post the software you are trying to load. Like if it is an APK host with mediafire or something. Then others like me can download and try to get it working too. once again GREAT IDEA!!!!!
Awesome, this is exactly what I want, wish I could help

I have tried vegan with no luck, the launcher won't even start on vegan. I have also tried to make a full from port with the vegan kernel and I can't get it to boot. I am not super experienced with ports though. I am a themer at heart, but just decided to try this because it is something that I would use a lot.

At least 3 errors are readily evident from the log file.
1. "No JNI_OnLoad found in /system/lib/libCommonWrapper.so 0x40587208, skipping init"
This looks like the wrong libCommonWrapper.so library is being used. Check for multiple copies of this file, or, if there is only one copy, try using the /system/bin/linker and /system/lib/libdl.so from the Kindle Fire.
2. "Error creating directory /system/etc/labdictionary"
The /system partition may be mounted read-only or the application trying to create the directory might not have permissions to create it in /system/etc. Create the directory and use the permissions of the original dir on the Kindle Fire.
3. "Native KRF library failed to load.
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Couldn't load ft2KRF: findLibrary returned null"
This looks like a straightforward library missing problem. Look for any *KRF* in /system/lib on the Kindle Fire and copy those files to the same place on your ROM.

I have set permissions and created the directory but am still getting: "Error creating directory /system/etc/labdictionary"
Also I cannot use the linker from the kindle I just get bootloops when I try.
Not quite sure if this will help. But here is a gingerbread kernel that slimm6099 compiled for me for use with gingerbread. He used alot of normally unused modules to make it,.. including loop device support and swap functionality. Just thought it might help.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14075340/barracudacm-kernel.zip
p.s. I cant boot linux or bactrack5 on gingerbread without this kernel. (dont know if thats relevant?!......)

Hmm. That's strange. Are other dirs/files missing? Try doing a filesystem comparison using the file listing on both devices using adb if possible. On a Linux system (on Windows, install Cygwin first):
Code:
[I]Connect gTab to PC[/I]
$ [B]adb shell find /system | sort > gtab-find.txt[/B]
$ [B]adb shell ls -lR /system > gtab-ls.txt[/B]
[I]Disconnect gTab and connect Kindle Fire[/I]
$ [B]adb shell find /system | sort > kfire-find.txt[/B]
$ [B]adb shell ls -lR /system > kfire-ls.txt[/B]
[I]Find differences[/I]
$ [B]diff -Bbu gtab-find.txt kfire-find.txt[/B]
Then look for dirs/files missing on the gTab and use the detailed listing in the kfire-ls.txt as a guide to creating the correct permissions.
Also I cannot use the linker from the kindle I just get bootloops when I try.

That is a risk you always take when messing around with the linker. Did you also copy the /system/lib/libdl.so library? Try using the linker and libdl.so from the latest CyanogenMod update.zip file.

Same here, this will be really cool.
Well after playing around some more I got it narrowed down to one major issue. OpenGL seems to be what is now causing the force close, and I think until we get some proper drivers we are sol. I could be wrong, like I stated in the OP I am just an amateur at this. So for now I am going to take some time away from this, but if anyone would like to pick up from where I am leaving off then feel free.

I think you are right, the problem with all the ROMS for G tablet seems to be proper Nvidia drivers.
Hi All:
I'm a long time Viewsonic GTablet owner and have ran just about every ROM xda/slatedroid/ and other have to offer.
I really appreciate the work that ppl have done here but was curious as to why other than just because we can.
My friend has purchased a Kindle Fire and there are a few things really like about it and somethat I really hate. This all JMO and in no way am I trying to knock the work being done here. With that said, here are some of my observations:
-PRO- Kindle Fire UI is one of the cleaniest I have ever seen and I've been a tablet user for over a year now.
-PRO- the "newstand" UI concept is one that can get even the most non tech person into a tablet with the least amount of pain
-CON- Marketplace is not available
-CON- need to setup yet another email account on amazon (cant use a google account)
-CON- cant add additional mail accounts (gmail, yahoo, hotmail, etc) simpily
My overall impression is that the Fire is a inexpensive Ipad for digital consumer that want to do just that, consume, and not pay $700 to have the right to do so.
Good luck too all and happy holidayz, I'll keep an i-out to see if we make any progress and will glady be a alpha-beta tester.

I am also a kindle fire owner. When I am not making themes for my GTab, I really only use the GTab as an e-reader and to browse the net. I never use the google market on it, I use the amazon one though for the free apps, I don't check email on it I either use my nexus s or my computer. So really the only stuff I use is the amazon stuff, so I figured why not just have 2 kindle fires around the house so that when my wife is reading on the real fire, I have my own GFire to read on with a bigger screen. But I was also doing it because I love the UI and like you said because I can (It was something to keep my busy).

FireTV as Download Centre

Since the FireTV is always on it is perfectly suited as a Download centre when combined with an external HDD.
At the moment I'm runnig NZBGet mobile to download media from usenet to my external HDD which is mounted using Stickmount. By installing python for android I managed to get VideoSort to work, which is a script which automatically recognizes the TV-Show/Movie for you and names it accordingly, moves it and cleans up any left-over thrash. Works very well so far.
Combined with some usenet indexing site which build rss feeds (or remote push to NZBGet) for any new episodes/movie releases you can automatically download any new stuff which you might want. Some even import any stuff from your Trakt/IMDB watchlist. As XBMC is running on the same machine it is also easy to let XBMC update the library when any new media is added.
Wonder if anyone else has set up anything like this? I looked into installing transmission through optware on the FireTV but couldn’t install optware as it wouldn’t let me remount. Can install uTorrent and control that from your phone but as far as I saw I couldn’t get it to run a cleanup script after any download is done. Really want it to be all automated so for now I’m only using usenet, which I prefer over torrents anyway.
you have just made my day you have no idea. ive been working on getting a renamer to work on my fire tv i already have a torrent based downloader with a custom rss feed to download but i couldnt for the life of me find one.
as for clean up im not quite sure what you mean but this is my setup
Flud run auto download through rss and updates decently when it downloads when its done it will delete the torrent file and there is an option to move the file when it is done downloading
i have my hdd mounted and all files are moved to the uncatagorized folder but after that i i cant sort them so im gonna try your method but a really good app i found is watchdog it auto updates the xbmc library a lot better then anything else
if theres anything i can help with let me know
thanks again
Also flud will delet old items and if its renamed and moved it should be able to delete the old unnecessary folders
so since videosort requires NZB do you know a way to make it work without it?
P.S. Sorry about my grammar its my worst subject and I was more excited to post then check haha

The VideoSort script can be modified to work with torrents as well. It uses some variables passed by NZBGet (Download Directory, NZB-name, etc) to process the download. If there is any torrent client for android which allows you to call a script after a download is done and has some way to pass the download location it should work. I don't know of any torrent client on android that does this though. uTorrent, transmission and more allow for this in their Windows clients.
What I did before I got python working was I shared my external HDD with my Windows network using Samba Filesharing. Then I just had a simple batch file setup which would sort the media by using Filebot.
So there isn't an equivalent sabnzbd suite (sickbeard, couchpotato) for the Android fork like you have on openelec?

What if we use tasker to trigger an event when a file or folder gets moved to the UnCategorised folder? The event being a Python script that I found called turbo sort it works great.
Also one more thing I would love to get flexget working to scrape rss feeds have you looked into this at all?
I've made a lot of progress on this and the last day I'm somewhat close to making a thread that explains how to make an automated system but I've got to make sure everything works flawlessly first.
Bad grammar this time is due to voice keyboard lol
nzbget version?
I've been messing with nzbget on gbox and fire for some time now. Now gbox has openelec sabnzbdsuite is perfect. Before that was using nzbget and it worked well, however latest version with extraction would start loading on ftv but just hang. I did manage to get old version to run fine but no auto extract. Which version you using? Did you manage to add unrar pp script?

Not that I know off. Think there is a Sickbeard version for android though. I tried to install SABnzbd through optware on my tablet but couldn't get it to work well with python. You should try NZBGet, works well. Also is less resource intensive. If you combine NZBGet with indexer to automatically add stuff and use the NZBGet post processing scripts to order the media you will basically have sabnzbd/sickbeard/couch into 1 app by just running NZBGet combined with an indexer (I use DogNZB).

The script I use, VideoSort, is a evolved version of the Turbo script. Good idea on Tasker to watch for the folder. Think that should work. You can try it yourself, install Python for Android and use it to run the script.

The NZBGet version I have already has parcheck and unrarring build in. Only need to add post processing scripts if you want to do more. Atm I have 3 running, 1 to rename a specific format and place them in my tvshow/seasons/episodes folder structure. 1 to notify XBMC and 1 to notify me of new downloads on my phone.

That's odd, that's same version that just hangs of aftv for me. Maybe time to break it out again and start from scratch.
Can't quite get it to work
Hi Nedle,
Thanks for writing this post I've been scratching my head over this for days.
Ive set up sickbeard for android just for TV post processing with rss feeds from probably the same nzb indexer as you, its a bit hit and miss really because some of the extracted files are labelled 2 folders deep with the parent folder showing the show details, another folder with random characters and then finally the video file with more random characters. It seems like sickbeard will only pick up strangely labelled files in the parent folder and not go digging.
It looks like getting videosort to work could hopefully sort this out, I'm not sure how to get python running properly. Ive tried running the r5 version from the link you gave and the python3 version with no success. I've put the videosort zip in the download folder and tried to import it into python but it pops up with an error. Videosort on Nzbget continues to fail in pp.
What process did you go through to get python to work? I'm sure I must be making a rookie error here
Thanks!

Sorry for a very late reaction, didn't see this until now. Scripts will have to be executable, think android doesn't allow this on the sdcard. To fix this all my scripts are located on my external hdd. Furthermore you will need to set the path and call the videosort script from a shell script as it won't work directly (atleast I couldn't).
So in my nzbget scripts folder I have a call_VideoSort.sh script, which calls VideoSort.py. The libraries which VideoSort needs (guessit) I copied to /sdcard/com.googlecode.pythonforandroid\extras\python.
call_VideoSort.sh contains all the Nzbget stuff: The options for format, folder structure, etc. Then at the bottom it simply has:
Code:
export PYTHONHOME=/data/data/com.googlecode.pythonforandroid/files/python
export PYTHONPATH=/storage/sdcard0/com.googlecode.pythonforandroid/extras/python:/data/data/com.googlecode.pythonforandroid/files/python/lib/python2.6
export PATH=$PYTHONHOME/bin:/system/bin:/system/xbin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/data/data/com.googlecode.pythonforandroid/files/python/lib
python "<PATHtoVideoSort.py>"
Let me know if you need any help and I'll see if I can.

Yes, I have the playstore installed and installed NZBGet from there. But you can just sideload nzbget as well, shouldn't be a problem. Downloading stuff is pretty straight forward. If you want to automatically sort your media you will need post processing scripts which require python. That takes a bit more tinkering to work, as you will have to install python and make the scripts executable.
If you get stuck anywhere let me know what errors you get and I'll try to help. You can use http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/ to download the nzbget apk and sideload it.
