Good Job !!

Thanks i just got it working yesterday and it takes alot of time to upload the rom so its a slow start

Im slowly working on that i have never used joomla before so im learning about tags and such. Please keep the suggestions comming any comments are welcome

Looks good!

Central ROM Storage | New Site | Theme Uploading

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.
My Creations
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.

Please read it first so you know what's going on.
Thanks

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.

[Read] Do you want your ROM/App on Cookandroid.com?

Hey all developers :=)
I've seen requests to add several new roms from the developers them self.
SO IF you want your ROM or app in the Kitchen,
Please PM me or HNH992 and we can sort it out,
I would appreciate a direct-link also, no rapidshare and such.
And if you read my little signature im giving developer ftp accounts(also website hosting/Forum and such,
This would be very good if all developers had there ROMs there and updated them so we can easily update the kitchen.
I'm also working on a few updates for the website Romn**** and such so keep an eye out

[PROJ] XDA-Marketplace! (New Devs, same basic idea)[Looking for Support]

Cyclonezephyrxz7 is starting up a new XDA Marketplace for Android and Windows Mobile devices. Please check out the original thread for more information.
The address for the new marketplace will be http://www.xda-mp.com
The link to the original thread is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=836964
UPDATE
Hello Everyone over on the ANDROID Forums,
Although I am not the OP of this thread, I am the main developer behind the new XDA-MarketPlace. I am here with a major update.
I haven't been posting much on this thread because I have been mainly working in the Windows Mobile one. Let me fill you in.
The website is quickly nearly completion. I was unable to hit my original goal of the New Year, but I have been doing my best to complete as fast as possible, while maintaining good code.
Many pages of the site are in fact done already. The pages that have yet to be finished are the User and Profile pages. The submission page is being RE-DONE.
Now, I haven't mentioned much of this over here ... but what I do need for YOU is to contact the developers of your programs and tell them to shoot me a PM with their E-Mails, or just telling me that they are interested in being alerted when the site is about to go up. This way, we can start the site with some applications!
Now, I have been feeling really crumby about not having the website out yet. I want you to know I HAVE NOT GIVEN UP ON THIS AT ALL. It has been taking me a lot of time. BUT I feel like I don't have any push because I have had at most 2 or 3 developers contact me. This website cannot exist with only 3 developers. I do need the member base to start this, so it can start off with a boom.
I ask for all of your support to make a cross-platform marketplace work for the community! I need it now more than ever
If you have comments, PLEASE POST THEM IN THE WINDOWS MOBILE THREAD [see the first post on this thread for a link] SO EVERYTHING CAN BE CENTRALIZED.
Thank You

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 .

Yeah, there's kinks to work out (new to PHP as well so that doesn't help lol). Not sure why the donation thing isn't updating... I'll have to look into that.

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.
