Hi Michiel
Sorry for bit delay in answer, did you manage in the end?
Yes new token can take some time.ti be activated so if you have not managed please create a new One and wait a bit. Be also sure to copy respecting between capital letters an normal one as they are considered different characters from normal one.
Also double check you activate support for Api board when creating the token
Let me know
Pietro

Hi Pietro,

without changing a thing set up my Certabo board again today, connected to Certabodroid and opted to play a casual game on lichess.org.

can confirm now it's working

so perhaps there was initially indeed just a lag / some time before the freshly created lichess board API got fully activated

two problems I encountered:
1) is there a possibility to keep the screen (and connection) always on in certabodroid?

2) perhaps related to 1), my opponent was away for some minutes, upon resuming and reopening the screen on my Android phone the game connection appeared lost, my opponents move was visible on the lichess website but no longer indicated on Certabodroid nor the Certabo board, perhaps because of 1) ?

future wishes: better clock / remaining time display during play, if technically possible, the app just counts the time that goes by when it is a players turn, but only afterwards it adjust the total time the player has left (i.e. the clock with the total remaining time is not running down continuosly in the Certabodroid app but only adjusted after each move?)

but I know it's work in progreses and for now fine, and a nice extra opportunity to play on the Certabo board against a lichess opponent using your phone or tablet, thank you!

good evening Pietro,
I use Certabodroid, but I noticed that I can only use one engine (CuckooChess). When I want to install another one I get the following message: "Module error:Cannot run program*/data/user/0/ org.petero.certabodroid/files/engine/engine.exe*(in directory" /storage/ emulated/0/Droidfish/uci/logs"): error 13, Permission denied".
While searching, I thought I understood that for security reasons you could only install OEX engines. Is there another solution to install other engines.
Thank you for your help.

Hello Eric

Yes please uninstall the one you have on the phone and install this,

https://wetransfer.com/downloads/b4a8cfb1f2a8f5c1ebe952096ae4def620211012125643/390cc4f4c1ddfe03d439fe2bda32856d20211012130347/f5cbd3

since Android10 all exectutable file shall be included in the app when it compiles otherwise they do not allow uploading on Playstore. And uci which are exectuable file cannot be called anymore as done on all other platform, quite a bit of limitation for chess world, anyhow you can run this one it is the same but you need to install locally. Just unzip double click and will install automatically.

All the best and take care

Pietro

Dear Pietro, maybe it would be a good idea to upload Certabodroid on your homepage (like all other programs...). This would be much easier than playstore with it´s restrictions......

Hi Pietro,

Using Certabodroid since few days, I read on my smartphone some messages/warning indicating that Certabodroid is mobilising too much memory (CPU) and/or battery, that's the reason I think the games I play are regularly blocked without any possibility to move forward or get back

Do you think if I connect my brand new Certabo chessboard on a recent touch tablet, Certabodroid would run efficiently ?

Thanx for your conseils et informations,

Regards

Daniel

Hi Daniel

Good day normally the board is not taking much computational power that come probably if you have analysis activated. Can you please double check if can disable that? Normally disabling it will reduce very much that computational power. I more power you have the better of course but please check if this is the reason.

All the best

Pietro

Hi Julian

Forgot to tell we updated our download area now you can find offline installation for Certabodroid so in case you experience any problem just uninstall the one from playstore and install locally the APK you can download.

All the best

Pietro

Hi Pietro,

impossible to install the Certabodroid.APK on my smartphone...

So I try to continue to use Certabodroid I dowloaded on Play store

Just to inform that when I play with this app., I need everytime to force the computer to move, having stockfish : 50%

playing with board disconnected : more than one minute necessary (minimum) to have a response (?)

- even I uncheck lot of options as you advised me

Thanx for your comments

Regards

Daniel

Hi Pietro,

I used Certabodroid after installing on a Samsung galaxy tablet => it works much better. Maybe my smartphone configuration is not adapted

Regards

Daniel
