Okay everyone, here is my personal guide to setting this up on Android.
I've messed this Skyscape thing up so many times that I now that I wrote my own guide and I'm sharing this foolproof method with you.
--TO INSTALL--
Preliminary: MAKE SURE YOUR PHONE IS ROOTED
1. Uninstall all previously installed versions of Skyscape, DroidWall, AFWall, remove any host file modifications
(essentially just get rid of everything and start fresh)
2. Download the latest Keyserver and run it. Select the books you want and leave it running for the rest of the guide.
Look for "This hosts's IP:" and you'll get your local IP.
Mine was 192.168.0.9.
Write that down somewhere, you'll need it in the next steps.
3. Go to Play Store and download "Hosts Editor". Its free. (link for the lazy: http://bit.ly/ZTqvXu )
4. Launch Hosts Editor and start adding New Entries (you need to add 7 alltogether):
For the 'IP Address' make sure you type in the address you got in Step 2.
(For me it was 192.168.0.9, yours will probably be different)
For the host entries, add one of these each time:
skyscape.com
www.skyscape.com
iphone.skyscape.com
android.skyscape.com
ota.skyscape.com
stat.skyscape.com
account.skyscape.com
Keep going until all entries are added.
5.Now we need to install Skyscape. I have created a re-signed version of Skyscape 1.7.25 that is disconnected from the Play Store. That means the Play Store will no longer to offer to update it (no accidental updates, no accidental lockouts!) You can download it here: http://bit.ly/1275sVd
6. Make sure you're phone is connected to the WiFi network at this point (same one that KeyServer is running on)
7. When you start Skyscape for the first time you'll be asked for username and password. Type any garbage for the email (eg. "dfsdgfskj") and leave the password blank.
8. Run the updates to download the selected books from KeyServer! Enjoy!
Note: You may occasionally get offered to download the latest Skyscape app from within the app itself. Just click no. If you do accidentally click yes however, don't panic, the app won't be able to connect anyway.
--FOR LOCKOUTS--
Although it is extremely unlikely using this method, you may at some point get locked out of the app.
To reset your book and unlock them again do this:
1. Run KeyServer on your PC.
2. Make sure Hosts Editor is set up as above (ie. Make sure the IP used in Hosts Editor matches the one displayed in the KeyServer program. )
3. Connect to your WiFi
4. Run updates again.
5. Done.
Hope this guide helps, this method is virtually bulletproof. Thanks to rab (for providing us with this awesome method)
Enjoy.
