LocalBar 2.0

**tinyhack** · 03-26-2012, 10:04 AM

Unfortunately, you will not be able to use localbar 2.0 without proxy server (you can use your BlackBerry smartphone as a proxy).

Check the website for more explanation:

localbar2

update please use version 1.1 of the localbarproxy for blackberry if you are stuck in 0%

Not bad! I can finally install apps when I'm away from my laptop!

Is there anyway we can use an online proxy? I'm afraid I don't know a huge amount about this sort of thing. I have a proxy setup here: PHProxy - would there be any way for me to make use of that? I'd like to be able to do this anywhere without having to setup a proxy on a local computer.

I tried this with a few .bar files, but I haven't been able to get past "0%" on the "Installing" screen.

this looks good i will need to try this out , as being behind a router i think i may need to play around with it to setup the proxy thanks for the link

What do you mean when you say you can use your BlackBerry as a proxy?
You mean just bridging?

Edit: Nevermind, I understand now

And it looks like the .bar can be anywhere on the shared filesystem and localbar will find it! You rock man!

Update 2: Installing from Playbook to PlayBook works great, but using my 9650 isn't working. Got all the info and everything entered right...

Unfortunately you can't use a public proxy (unless in a very rare case where you get a public ip for your playbook). A public proxy can't connect back to your playbook.

Sometimes it takes a while before the progress starts. Especially if you are using blackberry as a proxy. After you wait, it will either start or show an error.

Can you use an android device as a proxy?

**DAnklaud** · 03-26-2012, 08:37 PM

I just bought an LG optimus one with WiFi hotspot for my Workbook (playbook),and i wonder if i do find a proxy for it, can i use my androphone to install Workbook apps by proxy?

(funny i just noticed that the same question was asked right as i wrote mine)

In theory yes, you should be able to find a proxy server for Android, then you can use localbar to connect using that proxy. I don't have an android device with access point capability to test.

Perhaps you can use proxoid (never tried it, it may work, if not, just try other similar apps).

Tested with Android Phone as proxy and it works like charm and have no problem in installing

I also have try build an proxy app for BlackBerry Playbook and run the proxy server in playbook itself , when I use localbar2 install, it said : "Failure when receiving data from peer" , so it won't works if I use Playbook itself as proxy?

**SifJar** · 03-27-2012, 11:28 AM

Nope, you can't use a proxy on the playbook itself, that's what the original LocalBar did, but RIM blocked that.

Thanks alot for making this work! However a public proxy DOES work, thats how I got mine working. Search free proxy list on google, use HideMyAss's free daily list, select "United States" as the country, type "80, 8080" where it says port, and for speed and connection ONLY select fast.

When you open LocalBar 2.0 just put the entire proxy into the box, it will look something like this "123.11.12.171:8080"

**ronconet** · 03-27-2012, 02:13 PM

Get white screen only when launching localbar2 on rooted playbook running OS Beta 2.0 ver 6149 core with ver 7111 app bars. Anyone else getting white screen or any tips?

**AOBeta** · 03-27-2012, 03:30 PM

I'm getting a white screen too. I'm on beta 4869 and rooted.

**jbag1489** · 03-27-2012, 04:38 PM

any advice for getting the proxy to run correctly on torch 9800?

**Krao24** · 03-27-2012, 07:26 PM

It doesn't work for me with 9650..it says "couldn't connect to server"

Same here. Worked perfectly PlayBook to PlayBook though

using a public proxy didn't work for me. I kept getting this error

"failure when receiving data from the peer"
