Pre Beta Build - General Questions and Answers

I heard Pre Beta Build for Windows Mobile 6.5 is available. Is it allowed on XDA if there is confidential microsoft source code?

Its a touchy subject, baically it boils down to not uploading it to xda. We can't really get in trouble for talking about it, we just won't host it on our servers.

If I get banned for posting a link, Last I checked this was mobile, no keygen, no patch, By the way PCanywhere for the PC is 200.00, not Mobile. When you find someone selling mobile let me know, when you find a keygen or patch, malware, then email xda mods, and tell them to ban me until then, I will share my file on rapidshare and post the link here, If I am violating any rules let me know,

look, im not _trying_ to be a ****. mobile is only included when you buy pcanywhere. unless you can download a file from another place besides rapidshare, it not really legal is it? i will be the first to admit that i am very free with software licensing, but this is the wrong place to do it.

New Rom 6.1 from Dutty ?

In Dutty new Site download section:
Duttys WM6.1 Beta.zip
private beta
Yes for now just release to a few beta testers, just to see if all the basics work as I never realy made a rom without my device so as soon as I get some feedback I will release the password for a public beta testing tonight
ops.. okay.. i'm wait here to try your rom. Thanks in advance
lets see what this SMS threading is all about

Did you not read 4 posts up where he said he will release the password later for everyone?!? I mildly understand people not wanting to read a bloated 200 page thread, but 4 posts above?!? ARE YOU BLOODY KIDDING ME?
It says is needs a password?
alrite relax dude keep your undies on...geeeez
come on, guys
I understand the annoyance on these forums at all of the n00b behavior, lately on what is meant to be a more professional forum. However, on closer look you will realize that he has only posted in the forum twice. I do encourage everyone to read the rules, search, and read the thread before posting, but when someone really is a n00b, give them a break and point them in the right direction. It makes life easier, in the long run, for us all.

Here we go again. Seriously people, just relax. Dutty is having some of us do beta testing to ensure that we find any issues before releasing to the public. This is especially important because he is without his phone for the time being. Just be patient and it will be released as soon as it is ready.

ROTFLMFAO!!!
does this beta have all the features that the RTM version of wm6.1?
I wanna test Dutty!! You know me
Ok cool.
Havent been paying attention whats diffrent/better in 6.1?
Saw the report at boygenius, but that was a device without touchscreen.
And there is nothing wrong with beta testing, as long as it doesnt take too long
Oh and screens?
I read that alot of programs like opera are currently uncompatible with windows 6.1
Just registered to your new private heaven hehehe...
Cheers Dutty, welcome back!
Best regards,
Leo
im testing the rom right now and no offense to dutty because i dont think it has anything to do with him but does have to do with the source of this ROM (chinese site), and in short - this rom kinda sucks. Basically adds nothing other than threaded SMS, and you have to have the calendar say its back in 2007 or the beta expires, which also screws up trying to connect to your exchange server. I honestly think that we should just leave this shady 6.1 alone until we get a real working version that isnt timebombed.

FTP Server for xda developers

Ok so here is my idea,
I have noticed a lot of people like to use hosting company like Megaupload and rapidshare, which to I have noticed has it's draw backs on waiting times etc..
So what i propose is to setup an FTP server for all developers on the XDA community such as:
duttythroy
shogunmark
Confused Stu's
ryncppr
sakajati
Laurentius26
(Sorry if I missed anybody out but of course you are included)
Each user would have there own space on the ftp server to upload there rom's/tools they wish to share with the xda-dev community, which they could link directly too there own threads to make it easier for people to download.
Supported by donations I would be happy to keep this server running permanently for everyone to use.
Also if you have any other suggestions I would be happy to hear them.
Let me know what you think as if I get enough positive responses it would be a project I would be happy to pursue.
Thats fine, so long as you:
1. Can get a server in a country which doesn't respect Microsoft's Copyright. I believe XDA had an FTP before which was shut down
2. Have multi-gigabit connectivity. Think just of the Kaiser board and imagine a few hundred people all downloading the latest Dutty or L26 ROM at about 100MB a go. Now multiply that up by all the boards at XDA-D, all the Roms and all the users.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not deliberately pissing on your campfire but there are reasons things are as they are.
TM
Hi
Thanks for your reply, i had already thought of banwidth issues plus the copyright implications from M$, i am currently looking at different hosting company's which may be able to provide me with what i/we require.
Don't worry about pissing on my campfire, i have a nack for working out issues like these.
As a matter of couriosity can you remember why the xda ftp was shut down?
I think as above 'I believe XDA had an FTP before which was shut down'... due to the server having multiple images and files of MS based software.

You clearly haven't been here long enough - those unlikeable rapidshares actually saved the community.

The idea is good brother, but its unlikly to happend due legal issues. What you should do is sit down and collect all urls to all rom and compile a nice tread that you can daily update whit links on the diffrent chefs. That will go straight on the stickies (should go that is), woulda done it myself but I am to occupied trying to learn to cook
good idea one source - all of the files

The ADP on the right is mine, running Cyanogenmod 3.4.4. The ADP on the left is a running a test Donut build from Google (internal to Google).
I was able to take the pics while the owner of it was somewhere else. There were a few surprises on that phone of his actually...
intresting. wonder how long till someone actually put's out a donut build.

Google hasn't released any of the Donut source yet. The public GIT branches for Donut are pretty much exactly the same as Cupcake right now.

Correct, but there are internal builds of it that are working quite well. If I can get my hands on one long enough to dump it, I will... I do know that they're auto-updating, too. The phone I had brief access to has been running it for a couple weeks, and according to the owner, they've gotten at least one OTA update on it, possibly more.
I've had the chance to play around with it for a while, and it's a lot more stable than I'd have expected at this point in time.

Seriously, this is the only thing that's keeping me from using the G1 as a single solution for work-related stuff. I can already VNC into servers when on local network's Wifi, the only thing that's missing is VNCing over IPSec VPN.

Due to my personal belief in not spreading rumors, I won't mention anything else with out accompanying pics taken by me personally. So since I don't have any more to share at this time, going to have to say "no".
When I can get more pics or an actual build, I will post it here. Till then, this is all I have to share...

Well quite a teaser indeed. Thanks for giving us something hope to hear from YOU in the future.
Welp, I've been asked to take the pictures down by somebody whom I respect, so I shall do that. Enjoy what you saw. If you missed it, sorry. C'est la vie.
And there is one for 1.5 too.. cisco ipsec vpn that I've been working on.
http://code.google.com/p/get-a-robot-vpnc/
Its also in the market.
Can anyone show me where the code is this vpn client ?
Unfortunately, the get-a-robot-vpnc doesn't support certificate authentication, nor is there any working openVPN client with tun support. So there's still demand for a port of the VPN client in the donut builds to 1.5..

Sure, go lodge a feature request, if you can point me to some docs on how to setup server/client to do this.. it'd be great too.

I've seen the Donut-backported VPN client in Cyan's experimental build. Unfortunately, the only IPsec options it offers are in conjunction with L2TP. My company's VPN uses plain-old IPsec Cisco VPN and it needs to have fields for group username and group password. The fields I found in the Donut-based VPN client didn't support this.
Anyone know if there will be a way to make it work with non-L2TP VPNs? My IT folks tell me that if it accepts a group username/password, it should work as that's what ours requires.
Thanks

ROM chefs who need hosting

I've created a new high performance hosting site for WinMo and Android custom roms. It is still however in beta but I expect that it will be finalised before the end of June
The servers (Yes I mean that in plural ) that are being used are located in Dublin, Ireland (My hometown) so as to ensure brilliant speeds for both the US and EU. This service is of course free however there are certain rules that must be followed to preserve the integrity of the site. For example, I will not be allowing full scale discussion like here on XDA to make it easier for people to navigate ROMs.
In any case, when you host a ROM on my infrastructure you get both regular HTTP download and bittorrent download as a backup so your ROMs will always be available. No more rapidshare! Devs get unlimited space for their ROMs and those with more than five distinct ROMs get their own subforum to release their ROMs on. Again, I would like to stress that the primary aim of this site will not be ROM development as is XDA or MoDaCo but it's aim is to be sooner or later the comprehensive database for custom ROMs on both Android and Windows Mobile.
In any case, the site's URL is http://www.smartroms.com I hope you do find it useful, if you encounter any bugs or the like please send me a pm and I will look into it
Nice idea. Good luck with it. I'm registering just now!

Can you let me know if the registration page redirects you correctly? I noticed a few times that it kept hanging on redirecting during testing but it disappeared after I made a few seemingly irrelevant code changes.
Anyways, give me feedback!
It redirected me fine. The only tiny thing I'd say is that once you register and you are redirected to the login page, instead of your username being pre-filled, it puts your email address in.
Some less 'savvy' people might stumble on that and wonder why they can't log in.
As I say it's no biggy but you know what some users are like

That's odd, must have a look at that, thanks for letting me know
No bother. It might be a PHPbb thing. I used to run a PHPbb board many moons ago. They have changed a bit since then. lol
I really like the idea.
Thank you for providing a fast platform
Nece one, will check out soon. Thanks!
Sounds great, Roms with *****ing
Moved as not ROM Dev.
B.t.w already a hosting solution http://www.xdaroms.com/
Appreciate the offer and contribution.
Yup! A central place for finding ROMs should be brilliant.
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general
here's your feedback:

that's really bad... for a hosting site
I've been working all night migrating the server to vBulletin instead of the phpbb system it is now. That's why it's slowing down from time to time. I thought it would be safer to work through the night as less people would be accessing the site but I suppose I thought wrong
In any case the site is hosted across multiple servers for performance and redundancy reasons so when the site is finalised there should never be any speed issues.
