HI there,
I have a question for all the chef's on XDA, I have noticed once your have finnished a rom, you upload it mostly to Rapidshare, and wich almost gives errors to everyone I know..
So i was thinking, I have a server running exstra doing nothing, and thought if I only give you guys a "special" place to upload your roms, wich is totaly user friendly, and wich will show you stats about how many ppl have download and from where? would you use it or will i just waste my time?
Also, I would also make it for if you make updates to the rom, you can send an email to ALL the users that has opted in for news on the rom?
Also, if you have any comments or suggestions? Please feel free to make some
PS: I wont be charging you guys a cent, like a say, its an exstra server..
PSS: Admins I don't know if this is allowed, so this is also a question raised to you guys asking if I may do it for the guys.
LET ME KNOW
P3X
I could make it so that once the user has downloaded the specific ROM/RADIO/CAB that he/she can fill in a form telling you the pro's and con's ect ect.

Hi all,
This topic is particularly directed towards ROM chefs, although anyone who has an answer pertaining to it by all means should participate.
I would like to create a chef-friendly ROM, like Laurentius' released a while back. The reason for this would be that I would have my base if I ever managed to mess it up, and I could share my bases with this wonderful community.
I've heard that the .rgus and .dsms must be included, but do not have a clue how to do this.
Any help?
thanks guys
Yes, i would like to participate.
In the diamond forums i posted some sort of question also, about why the current roms are locked down.
Some guys say that is for space en free memory reasons, but why do i see the message "Go build your own rom" in allmost every rom when i dump it?
I don't intend to steal, and if i get a package out of someones rom i'll ask it first.
I'd like to see a more open forum(like the good old days) not that every dev is hiding their findings.
So i'm in for it!

precisely,
thanks for the support
sorry for the bump you guys, but is there anyone here that knows how to do this?
Send a PM to Its Right. He makes the TNT roms. He resides mostly in the hermes and wizard forums. He knows the answer to your question.
I totally agree with what your doing. I remember the good old days when packages and roms were shared freely. My kitchen is so far out of date its sad.
I would love to see a nice happy base. I would also love to see a new set of packages available.
I wouldn't mind participating in this "project" at all. I would love to share my base and even make OEMs if needed. Perhaps we can make a huge list of most commonly used OEMs (latest version) and split them among the chefs who would like to participate in this.
I honestly think a collection of OEMs is long overdue. I have a few newer packages that I would gladly contribute. I have been working on a new rom which will be the first one ive publically released.
my roms are always dumpable
look at the new manila2d roms they were looked but we managed to get everything out of it anyway just took us alot more time to get it the realy nesasary.
and by removing the rgu and dsm files you free maybe areound 1 mb prob less.
ok the windowsfolder loads faster but how often are we looking in the windows folder? I rarely do.
I only look there when i have to edit stuff like the start menu and i actually tend to test the speed of a ROM by going there and seeing how fast it loads. Anyhow, it opens up a lot faster in Reso Explorer since it omits system, rom, etc. files.

Great idea.
I would go step further - common web place for all OEMs (bases etc) where everyone could contribute to and dnld from.
I think we should make a kitchen pantry, just like in the wizard forums.
A place where we enlist bases, oems, cabs, tweaks, and cooking tricks.
A place where users can post their oems to rapidshare or whatever, and post the links here.
Then the mods or threadstarters post those links with info on the first page.
idea?
lets work it out.
I'll setup the base thread within a short hour.
so keep in touch
gr. bram
I have had this feeling since I bought the Kaiser over a year ago. It seems like all the main chefs on here for some reason do not want anyone to open their ROM up and look.
I am completely in on assisting in making OEM's. I would be happy to upload all my packages if someone has a place for them.
Count me in on this....
I have a ton of space left on my 4 share account. Once I get home from work today Ill open a public folder so anyone can upload to it. That way anyone that dosent have a place to put files can use it. I will also upload my packages to it.
Ill post links to my OEMs in Brams thread after work as well

Folder is created.
OEM Packages Folder
Decided to do it real quick from the office. The folder should be public with 4.5 gb of space to fill. If we should by chance run low on space I will gladly upgrade. Send me a PM if there are any issues with upload. I will link all of the packages to Brams Thread once I get home tonight if they arent linked already.

Hey everyone. I figured this might be a good place to go with this since everyone in here knows how much of a pain in the butt it is to download ROMs from those upload sites. Anyways, I have some extra webspace that I'd be willing to put up for use for people to upload CABs and ROMs to.
Has this been tried before? If not, would people actually use this? I would make an FTP account for everyone to use, and then developers could make their own folders and put their ROMs and CABs in there.
It might not be much, but it would be me giving back to the XDA community. If any chefs want to test it out for speed and such, let me know in this thread or in a PM and I'll get an FTP account made up along with a subdomain or something.
I have 1.5TB of disk space and 15TB of transfer per month. All of... 200MB of transfer is used. So I think I can handle hosting a couple ROMs.

Thanks for the offer, a lot of people offer mirrors by uploading cooked ROM's to there webspace / storage area and posting a mirro (like so), normally the chef's then add the link to the first post.
I suggest you do this. And maybe add a link in your signature to the repository.
A lot of foreign users and office folk will apperciate your efforts, as the common storage sites are banned in thier country / office)
Once up and running I'll drop me a PM and I'll add it to the FAQ Sticky post for you.

Tired of running around the web or through the forum to find the links to your favorite ROM and then having to wait to download it? Well so was I. So I took all the ROMs here and put them on my file server. You can find it at http://biggz.dontexist.com:14725/ . I have all the current ROMs up as well as the latest recovery and the asroot2 exploit. I'll try to minimize downtime as much as possible. I just wanted to give back somehow. If you want any other files hosted just let me know.
**New Site**http://roms.the-littles.com Thanks to sacker12345 for this!!
Its Spring time. Well almost. Anyway time to clean house. Anything you feel is not needed anymore let me Know below. If I get enough requests for the same file, say bye bye to it.
Notice: Please be patient my upload speed isn't the greatest. For the ROMs it may take up to an hour or more for a download to complete.
For Devs and Cookers only: If you would like to upload files directly to my server please pm me and I'll set you up with an account.

Biggz Black Espresso Theme .1
Please let me know if you find any artifacts or fcs. If you can point to a particular file in it that would be a great help. Currently only applies to the system and none of the apps.
Please backup before this!!!
**NEW** FTP Server!!!
Now you can use your favorite FTP client to get your ROMs
Server is on the same address just one port up, 14726
User name is embedded in attached image to prevent bots.
The current items list is removed due to the fact that it is just too large now.
you'll kill yourself trying to keep up with newer rom's once more devs start cooking roms. it was tried in the dream forum but abandoned after a month due to to much upkeep.
Androidspin.com
although they dont have any CDMA as of yet.. its still a great place for kitchens
Well with all the work the devs do I figure I can do this up to date. I visit every time I look at my laptop so I can catch the new ones that come up.
I'd be very careful if I were you. I don't know anything about your domain, but bear in mind that lots of ROM downloads will chew through bandwidth allowances like nobodies business. Most domains will have strict limits as to how much traffic your site is allowed to generate.
Regards,
Dave
This is running off my personal computer so I can have as much as I need. The domain name is DNS mask.
Hmm, I'd add the RUU factory flash EXE on there, too. That thing was a real ***** to find.
hey thanks for putting this all together.you the maaannnn,lol.
XDA RULEZZ!!
Huge help.
Thank you!
Good work biggz.
thanks for the post
Thanks alot for putting this on here . you saved me for search and you had some stuff that couldnt be downloaded. Hey you should make this a sticky.
Just let you know, you are missing another CMDA Hero ROM: Gutted Hero 1.5.
Thanks for all the attention guys. If you want it stickied bug the mods!
You should consider putting links to the threads and sites of the roms. People can just use the search, but there are several I have never heard of on your list, and was looking for informations.
network location
what is the network location rom?

Its actually an apk to help fix the location in roms that dont seem to want to determine the location naturally. Please correct me if Im wrong.
Thank you !
As a small favor in exchange for this service I'm providing I want to ask that you bug HTC for the kernel source for our Hero going along the lines of this thread.

Hey, the 2.1 dev thread has been updated (just today in fact)... just to let you know.
Somewhere in the range of 170 downloads and 5.5 GB transferred. Thanks for the loyalty and helping me stick it to my ISP.
Hello guys, i have a question. I want to make my own rom... i have read the tutorial already.
One of the problems is that i dont find the last programm sources for my own rom.
I would be glad if someone want help me a little bit. (The best way was an instant messaging system, indeed).
I can following every point in the tutorial, but i dont know when i can modify something.
Lutgardis
I'm afraid all you can do is read, and re-read these forums. Just about every topic has been covered. If you find a program in someone else's rom that you would like, then send the chef a pm and ask nicely if they will supply the program for you. As programs are updated seemingly weekly it's hard to keep on top of it all. It's not easy creating a rom (I gave up on mine after several attempts at creating one perfectly the way I wanted it). But if you have patience and persistance i'm sure it can be rewarding.
I have being a user of this site since my HTC FUZE, and from that day on I'm hook. Because not only it allows me to have my phone how I want it by flashing Rom's or
make my life easy with new member made apps.
And from day One it plagued me that wonderful chefs and people would upload there work to Mega upload and other Upload services, which don't get me wrong Is free and well they do there own thing. But what grind my gears was that you had to wait a few seconds and or you could only download one file per IP or whatever.
I friend and I are working on a service for all you chefs or people who have files to contribute to xda developers and then sum. Basically what this is, is a file hosting site for roms and kernels and other files related to flashing modifide phones. Currently I'm testing the site on my own server at home make sure things work well
Here are the features.
1. Free Because, you people(insert Robert downy jr joke here) do this with out charging us the users.
2. upload space of 500 megs (more to come)
3. when file is uploaded in your GUI there will be a link that will send you a email with the url of the file so you can share it with the world, Or here.
More to come. also please tell me what you think of this Idea and also I hope the mods put in a sticky or something so developers/chefs can see this and be updated for when we roll out the site. Also you may ask your self "why would they do that and lose money on server space and all this crazy shenanigans. Well We plan to put ad's (I know horrible frickin ad's :0) and if they hearts are willing donation would hurt. But please in no way is necessary.
Anywho I'm off Is late and as Im sure I misspell half of this post for lack of sleep please forgive me.
