Obviously you just didnt realise what you just typed.
i'm sure you know there are tons of sites already doing this.. rating "software" and recommending software.. and no need of such waisted threads.
here's a link to begin your quest for recommended software.
www.download.com <- filter to mobile software (top rated, popular) .. ofcourse there are more sites on the net that does this better.

hey
lol. i can assure you i am aware of what i type!
my intentions were to eventually setup a CAB file repository for MS Smartphones here on xda-devs which can be accessed via our smartphones over wifi! i am working on compiling a list as we speak however i am having trouble finding some good freeware apps and will end up having to post 'trial' versions

anyone intersted to guest post at my windows mobile blog ?

Hi all!
i have a little blog at mywinmo.com.
I plan to write about my favorite hobby, all windows mobile related there ! ( yes i stubbornly refuse to go apple )
While my passion is there, i still have a full time job and i get very tired.
As the blog is already done and i do have some contents there, i do get daily search engine traffic.. well i would love for them to read good stuff, stuff we see here from the experts in XDA.
If you have a passion about all things WM, and you love to write. I hope you can guest post at my blog.
While i cannot offer you any monetary rewards, i can credit your work to you or link to your website / blog.
Hope to hear from you soon
( If you have a freeware you want me to introduce, let me know too. Will be most happy to do so if it is indeed useful to all )
Cheers!!!
no guest poster is too simple.. even if you have a simple topic, no problem as long as it is useful for the reader!!!
( mods i know this is the same as the one in off topic, but i thought i will get more views here. i need the exposure. if you object, hope you can delete the one in off topic instead. thanks mods )

a small bum...

[APP] Sugarsync (Dropbox alternative)

​
SugarSync is a single software and service solution that allows you to backup, store, sync (short for synchronize), access, and share all your digital assets (files, photos, music, others.) SugarSync was created with the goal of making it trivial for you to manage all your digital life and to satisfy a wide variety of use cases. The backbone of SugarSync is a real time push synchronization infrastructure that enables all these capabilities. As the end user you just need to worry about setting up you account properly and then enjoying the experience.
You can register HERE, and get additional 500 Mb of free space.
​
Note: You have to register prior to installing the mobile version.

No linux support. Dropbox has support for windows, mac, linux

which one has bigger free space?

Sugarsync has 5Gb + 500Mb, Dropbox - 2Gb.

Will try this out. If it has better features than Dropbox, ill switch. Will use it for 48 hours.
[ I used my LG Optimus V to send this message ]

I'll probably keep both Dropbox as well as Sugarsync. I have close to 5.5GB free on Dropbox by completing various tasks as well as referrals. So this way I can have 5.5GB on sugarsync as well.

Oh I just love referral spam..

No Linux support is the deal breaker for me

Yep same here. I found a message somewhere that they had linux support on their roadmap but that was dated in 2009. So......

Before creating this topic I have searched through entire xda-developer forum for this app or site (whatever). There are some posts in HD2 forum or so, and they are year or two old. But I don't have HD2, so I never heard of it. Also, if I had WM I would never go into the Android forum to find some helpful apps or so.
I have also recived the information about the site by the refferal link, but I am thankful to that user, because he gave me the link to really helpful stuff and +500 Mb to my account.
So, your message is spam, not mine.

Yeah, sure, you're just looking for people to sign up to increase your quota. Thus, you are spamming this forum for referrals. Be honest about it at least.

But last time I checked, it didn't do proper sync with the android counterpart. Just syncs the data on the PC. Meaning I can add files on the PC end and expect them not to be on my SD card unless I start downloading each of them one by one.
Has that been changed?

Agree. OP even used a bit.ly link to hide the referral further.
I actually use and like SugarSync. I sync my photos.
But, has anyone looked at the market reviews for this app? It's like 99% referral spam. That's why, in a moderated forum like this, referral spam isn't allowed. Otherwise, this forum could look like that.
If you just want to get the word out, how about edit your original post and remove the referral code?

I use it and prefer it over Dropbox.
Mobile photos are synced automatically.
I have my documents, etc., in multiple directories under one directory on the SD card. Open Sugarsync and tap that directory and it syncs everything. Unless I missed something, isn't Dropbox about the same?

Hey man thanks for sharing. Bunch of haters in this thread though haha

khaytsus, lexluthor, the usefullness of this thread is confirmed by my "thanks meter" and dozens of registered users through my link. This referral thread is a win-win for me and the user, so leave your acid inside yourself.

[Q] Help from app developers

i am looking for help building an app for androids..
i need advise or if someone wants to build the app for us and all credit will go to the developers that help on our web page and radio station, unfortunatly i can't afford to pay anyone but all due credit will go were it is supposed to... including in the app and on the website and radio credits... we will get your name out there!!!

i hope that i have posted this in the right area...
if you feel you can help us out, please respond to me asap!!!
thank you all for your time...
Buddo,
Media Director

Does it have a streaming website that the app can run off? How nice do you want it?

If you use technology as shoutcast, there already are alot of apps that can play such streams.
You will have to provide more information.

Give as much information as you can in your thread, what you want the app to do, how it should perform, look like etc.
Many moons ago i requested something similar (well i say similar, nothing alike, but an app that did not exist lol) and some kind gent here on xda helped me too

Thank you all for your interest!!!
What i am looking for is very simple... i would like to play the stream from my site... send me a message to get the site... it wont let me post it. with a main background of my site, link to website(opens browser), song title displayed, just as the site does... nothing fancy or complex like splash screens or multiple pages... just a streaming app...
i applogize for not being specific enough but do really apprieate the reply's and interest.. if you feel you can make this you are welcome to stamp your name all over it, to get your name reconized, i will post due credit on the main website as well...
look at the site and let me know what you can do... i can help by testing, i have access to many devices for testing if need be..

Bitdroid - Dedicated Android ROM Torrent Tracker

Bitdroid - Home | Bitroid - Tracker | Bitdroid - Forum
Introducing Bitdroid! The dedicated torrent tracker for Android ROMs!
After a couple of weeks of trial-and-error, I have finally got a torrent tracker site setup and running for Android ROM developers; a place for them to create and track a torrent for their ROMs.
Why use a torrent tracker like Bitdroid.org versus regular download links? Easy: better flow of download traffic, which equates to faster downloads!
Peer-2-Peer, or P2P, (torrents in this case) are better for high-flow traffic compared to normal HTTP (sites like Mediafire) or FTP. In HTTP or FTP, users can only download, and it's only from a single server. The more people downloading a file from a single server, the slower the download for everybody on that server requesting the same file. This is not the case for P2P connections. Every user that's downloading, downloads from another user. All of the users download are also uploading to other users, so the traffic is not coming from a single source. It is coming from many sources, alleviating slow downloads, enabling higher traffic. P2P is a much superior way to distribute large files (such as Android ROMs).
So where did this idea come from? After the release of several popular ROMs, I saw people complaining about slow download speeds, and having to upload to several different download mirrors for others to download at a fast pace again, until those became "clogged" for a while as well. P2P, as previously mentioned, would have alleviated this and reduced (or even eliminated) the need for several HTTP / FTP mirrors. HTTP download links could still be provided, but torrent links could also be provided to help alleviate high traffic, congested downloads.
P2P also allows tracking and stats of an individual download. Each file is tracked by the amount of seeders (people uploading), leechers (people downloading), and total downloads.
I've searched, and I couldn't find a dedicated torrent tracker for Android ROMs; I could only find trackers for general use, or other specific uses (movies, games, etc.), of which not all of these are completely safe due to concern of possible copyrighted content. With Bitdroid, only Android ROMs are allowed, and it is preferred that the original developer of the ROM uploads the file (or with permission from the developer, a 3rd-party user could upload the ROM). Since Android is open-source, there aren't any legal concerns of piracy and such due the open-source licensing of the Android OS.
For an added layer of "security" only an approved member group is allowed to upload files. You must be manually added to the group before being able to upload torrents, to try and further discourage potential piracy or unauthorized uploading of ROMs.
I currently have a splash-page setup, that links to the actual tracker, as well as a forum (work-in-progress).
If you're a developer or know a developer, please sign up on the torrent tracker and/or forum and I can get you setup to upload your torrents, and don't forget to spread the word!
If you have any questions or comments, please either post here or on the website! Come and check it out! ​
Note: I have permission from YZ to post this.

Bump. Got mixed reviews in the Rezound forum about this; not much response from Dev's yet (which is what I would like the opinion of as well).

I think this is awesome!

News page, forum what next apps we have to pay ?
The idea is great but you should respect the word *torrent*.

this is a brilliant idea, its annoying having to navigate through those nasty ad filled, speed restricted file hosting sites, i hope it grows and grows
my signup email conformation hasnt come through though

Donated $3 has not shown. Still Says Zero. Also been waiting on a confirmation email...It's new. Kinks to work out. Hope my $3 helps is the most I can spare.

check your spamfolder!

Check out some of my work and ths work of my team mates in the sprint epic4g touch section. Let me know If we qualify.

BRING IT ON! I'll seed like a mofo!!!

Always been intrigued why no Android ROM developer uses torrent technologies... Even on questionable tracker as Pirate Bay (Yes, you can find legal stuff there ^^).
Now there is no excuse ! With this tracker, we can download almost eyes closed. And now, every body can help, even if no developer, even without giving money. Let's seed !
I'll warm up my seed box this evening !

we can only say you THANK alot and good job . but one thing ..
it is for every Rom ( custom and shipped rom ) or just rom leaked by private developers ?
ps : I haven't paypal from me ( Country's restricted ) , sure I would donate you some $$ ...

awesome news !
guys pay alot for hosting 300mb allinone roms on their hosting , torrent solution rocks!

Any Torrents with this Symbol are Ratio Boosters. Only your Upload is Recorded!!
This is a Great way to Boost your Ratio. Normal Site Seeding Rules Apply.
Seed to 1.0 or 36 hours to avoid Hit and Runs.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The idea is good, however i think having a ratio system on the site will do it more harm than good.
Unless you download the rom soon after its uploaded your probably going to struggle to seed it back, especially if its from a developer who updates the rom every couple of days. I think its very unlikely someone would download the older version once the next build is out.

Wow, my site made the front page news! Awesome .

It's for any ROM. There's categories for stock ROMs, custom ROMs (from developers), or 'Other' (for kernels or something like that). I can always add more categories as well if anybody has suggestions!

I've disabled ratio restrictions on the site. Where did you find that tidbit at? Was it in the rules/FAQ? If so, that's just because I haven't really had any time to update that at all, due to classes starting up again.
Worry not, ratio is not a concern (but sharing what you download always looks good ).

if so it's better thank once more .

No problem. The categories I currently have:
- AOSP / AOKP
- Other
- Proprietary GUI (for ones like Sense, TouchWiz, etc.)
- Stock (Rooted)
- Stock / RUU's
Would just like to thank everybody for their support!

Are you trying to register through the forum or the tracker?
If you're trying through the forum, try registering through the tracker instead. Another user PM'd me with a similar error I believe, and he was trying to go through the forum.

Alright, sorry about the issues registering on the forum guys. There was a conflicting option turned on that I missed when setting up the forum.
It should be working now for registration.
