Installation and Settings

Android

• Install from Google Play Store
• Install from Huawei AppGallery
• Install from APK file (Subscribe to this Telegram channel to get notifications about the APK file updates.)

Windows

1. Install Python from the Microsoft Store using this link.

If you can't install from Store, here is a direct installer link for Windows 10/11. Or go to python.org yourself and select the version for your OS.

2. Download and unpack the archive with the program.
3. Run the Rocket Ministry.vbs file.

An icon will appear on your desktop that you may use to launch the program from now on.

Linux (Debian/Ubuntu/Mint)

Open the command line and enter:

sudo apt-get install python3

git clone https://github.com/antorix/rocket-ministry.git

cd rocket-ministry

python3 main.py

You can create a desktop icon for quick launch, a PNG icon file is included.

Mac

The procedure is identical to the one for Linux (see above). Unfortunately, due to a lack of testing on Mac, the program interface is not the most optimal, but yet quite functional.

Backup and restore data

Each time you launch the program, a backup copy of your data (territories, report, etc.) is created. There 10 such copies in total (when a new one is created, the oldest one is deleted). Starting with version 2.17.001 (December 1, 2024), backup copies are located in the following folder on Android: Android/Data/org.rocketministry/cache/FromSharedStorage/Backup. On a PC, the same folder is located in the program's working folder.

Each such file has the .jsn extension and contains all user data in the application. It can be restored inside the app via the built-in recovery interface (Settings → Data → Restore) or by loading it as an external file (Settings → Data → Download).

Attention! When you uninstall the application, all backup copies are deleted by the system. If you need to save them, move them to one of the user folders, for example Documents.

Data Synchronization and Transfer

Rocket Ministry data can be exported and imported in a plain text file, which will be called Rocket Ministry Data.txt. On a mobile device, this file is saved to the Documents folder on your device. On a PC, you can select the folder yourself. To save data, open program settings (three bars in the top-right corner) → Data → Save. The saved file can be uploaded to the cloud, sent to someone via messenger, etc. To load data from a file, select Download and locate the required file in your device memory or a cloud service.

Two tips for advanced PC users

Install Google Drive on your computer. In the program folder, the database is located in the data.jsn file. If you install the Google Drive client on your computer and place Rocket Ministry folder in a path that syncs with Google Drive, this file will be constantly synced to the cloud. So now, on your phone you will have access to the up-to-date version of the file at any time.

Create file sync.ini. If you create a file named sync.ini in the program folder on your computer and write in it the absolute path to a file (for example, c:\Users\john\Desktop\mydata.txt), then the application will automatically export data to this file every time on exit. This file will always contain an up-to-date copy of your data, which can be put in a path that is synchronized with Google Drive or any other cloud service.

FAQ

What does the dark gray color of the apartment mean and how do I set it?

An apartment becomes dark gray when it contains any information (even a note or a phone number), but you have not assigned any color status to it. This can happen if on your first call you did not click on the color button, but simply quit using the Back button. It is like a temporary color until you set a normal, full-fledged status. For this reason, it cannot be assigned explicitly. But if you still want to do it, it is technically possible if you 1) reset the apartment to unvisited status (by choosing a light gray color), 2) create any entry, and 3) press the Back button.

I forgot to turn off the timer, and more time was recorded.

Just adjust your report time manually by entering the desired number in the time counter on the Report page. You can enter any number up to zero. If you do not know exactly how many hours you have at the moment, open Log, where all report updates are tracked. For example, you will see there at which time you last started the timer.

What is the difference between deleting an apartment using the "trash" button and deleting using the "scissors" button?

Deleting with the trash icon is a normal deletion, the apartment simply disappears. Whereas clicking on the scissors icon does not delete the apartment itself, but the apartment position. An empty space is created in place of the apartment you clicked on, and the apartment itself moves to the right. This allows you to reduce the number of apartments on any floor you want. In this case, all the apartments in the entrance also shift to the right, and the very last (top right) apartment in the grid disappears. However, if this last apartment contains any data, the program will not allow you to perform this operation for security reasons.

There was some kind of failure, and I lost some of the data (or all of it), what should I do?

Open Settings → Data and click Recover. Choose a backup copy you want to recover. If the recovery did not lead to the desired result, stop working with the program, do not make any changes, and contact support.

The app launches and immediately crashes, what do I do?

Android:

If you don't have any important data in the app you want to save, try simply reinstalling it (uninstalling and reinstalling). This should solve the problem.

If you have important data, don't reinstall the app, but try the following steps:

1. Check that the Rocket Ministry app version is at least 2.17.001 (December 1, 2024), and if it's lower, update it.

2. Launch the app again (even if it crashes).

3. Find the backup file in your device's memory. To do this, open the file-browsing app which is usually called Explorer or Files (if you don't have one, we recommend Total Commander). In it, find the following folder on your device: Android/Data/org.rocketministry/cache/FromSharedStorage/. Here you will see the file filesdata.jsn.

4. Copy this file to another, more convenient location, for example Downloads.

5. Delete the Rocket Ministry application.

6. Reinstall the application.

7. Load the data file you saved (in the application settings: Data → Load).

Your data should be restored. If the application crashes or stops launching again, email support at inoblogger@gmail.com, describe the problem, and attach the saved data file. It's highly likely that we will be able to help you recover your data and continue working.

Windows/Linux:

If the application does not contain any important data, manually delete the data.jsn file and the Backup folder. After that, the application should launch. If there is important data, try to take the latest file from the Backup folder (these are backup files), copy it to the main program folder and rename it to data.jsn. Run the program. If it still does not start, send us the data.jsn file for analysis.

Why rocket? 🚀

Firstly, do not take the name too seriously 😅 Secondly, users from certain countries will appreciate the absence of religious terminology both in the app itself and in its name. But the rocket also reflects speed - the main idea underlying the program. Three pillars of Rocket Ministry: speed, simplicity and ergonomics. We are in the ministry to talk to people, not to fill out forms and reports like in a tax office. Therefore, all operations and the entire app interface were designed having in mind the minimum possible number of clicks and even finger movements along the screen. This is one of the few (if not the only one) ministry application where the developers have seriously thought about ergonomics, for example one-handed work. This is the only mobile app known to the developers where all the first call details are filled in on one page without any jumps, confirmations, or extra dialogs. This is perhaps the most optimized ministry app in terms of usability.
