Just tried it out of curiosity (also been following the original thread)...an amazing amount of work has gone into this...it's quite amazing...although I don't think I will use it myself.
ITs great! I just want to know how to set my countrys weather...I live in sweden...
It seems to be nice!
Downloading now. I'll post my thoughts in a bit.
THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR THE HARD WORK!!!
Just downloaded and installed all is ok you have to login to some community for the gold stuff (i didn't do that ) but it seems pretty solid runs nice but the weather will not let me set my area. very nice launcher though can't wait to see the updates
Please anybody knows how to get the weather for sweden? I can NO chinese and the weather app integrated is in chinese!
some of the parts I still find chinese. if the pop up comes up you can just hit cancel and the program still runs. overall neat. custom version with some stuff toned down would be nice
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
REEEEAALLY hope you didn't use my scripts or steps for your translation because that's really lame to ask for donations and not even give a thank you.
you didn't made this app and you ask for donation? not only that, this app is a paid app and u want it to crack it? you are so messed up.
wait so is this a cracked version?
keep in mind this app was NOT a paid app until this english release appeared. it was a free app - I had the chinese versino yesterday.
please correct me if I'm wrong - since of course I don't speak chinese it's possible that it was only a trial version in chinese and this informatino wasn't translated properly by google translate. But it certainly was believed to be a free app until now.
Either way - posting a donation link is not "wrong" according to precedence on this site. the work to translate it is huge and the guy here did put a lot of work into it at the start of things, so fair enough.
just my opinion - but it seems that some people are very judgemental about other people's concepts. if you don't like a donation link, don't donate.
I don't know about you, but if I do something that takes some time, I won't refuse if someone wants to pay me for it. a donation link makes that an option to the end user. nothing more, nothing less.

no.... it's an english version which the author has now decided to make a trial version of what is now a paid app.
it seems like a really impressive launcher! makes much more sense in english LoL
still a couple of things are in chinese though so I won't be paying until I see it actually fully translated. but it's very very impressive. I bet my wife would like this if it was really fully translated.
nooo you guys are confused
The app IS free but to use it you have to pay for a subscription to the actual maker's website. Has always been that way.
This guy took some scripts I made over in the evo thread to pull all the chinese strings and allow you to re-inject them as english.
All he did was pretty up some lines of text and run my scripts. But the actual app itself was released in english on their own website.
ok i just want to be using something that is someone elses app if that makes any sence. also it would be nice if we could ad some widgets to this like audio set cpu ect

not asking for donations, or for a crack version is a choice for anyone who wants to do it, if u dont like something just dont say nothing because if it wasnt for me NO ONE WILL KNOW OF THIS APP.

thank you, some people judge and see things a different way,
like i said before i did not create the app, but put some time to it, and sorry to be negative but people gotta learn that i shared it with others to enjoy, because im pretty sure NO ONE would of know of this app if i never would of shared to the community.
thanks for those who enjoy this trial version, hopefully more features soon from the original developer.
can't wait for the cracked version
Looks interesting, but I did not buy an Android phone to make it look like Windows.

AFT firmware mod for HTC Dream
This reflash is hybrid build from leaked files and sources of Magic reflash.
* I do not include any radio's in my build. If you are coming from an RC33 build, you can get the latest radio 2.22.19.23 here This is the same radio as the one that came from HTC.
http://sapphire-port-dream.googlecode.com/files/Saphire-Radio-Update (rc33).zip
Набиши
This Build based on the The Dude's Cupcake v0.8 NO WIPE Regular and have some changes:
Changes made by AndroidFan team:
• All packages in reflash had been optimized like in other official Android releases. Due to this the final size of the image had increased. It made us to delete some useless stuff. But this optimization saves approximately 20 Mb of user data and improves system performance and startup time.
• Chinese font, voice dial files and several standard ringtones were deleted to save extra disk space.
• Busybox was also removed (unfortunately there were no enough space for it)
• 2 on-screen keyboards
• Russian language is installed by default and can be switched to English easely.
The most important improvement – is optimization. Dex files (with code) are being extracted from package during its installation. After phone-targeted optimization they are put into cache folder. All non-final reflashes comes with usual packages which should be optimized before usage. During optimization process all non-optized code is being replaced by ready-to-use one. This saves storage space and improves performance.
Here are several screenshots:

Is performance the only upgrade to this build, or are there any other functional changes/upgrades/enhancements?
Sorry I don't speak Russian, so forgive me for posting the question here rather than http://androidfan.ru....:D
Actually not only performance, we also tried to improve stability and added ‘garbage collector’. We are just at the beginning of our work, further releases are to come. Btw, there is a special thread on our board for English-speaking users.

Good luck with that. It took me 10 minutes to find that thread. I had to find the forum link in the menu through trial and error.
I don't see this catching on much, especially with this kind of support. If a noob can't figure out how to rename a zip file, I doubt they're going to search a russian website for the answer.

I clicked the link at the bottom of his post which was originally androidfan.ru, but has since been changed to forums.androidfan.ru. I must have been wrong assuming the first link in his post was a direct link to the actual firmware, considering that's what it was labeled as.

We caught that the first time.
Has anyone tried flashing this, yet? I'm curious as to how it compares to Haykuro's 5.0.2G.
Hello, me and Dude have been talking and it's become a bit of a problem.
I have been as respectful as possible to support xmoo, his source, and everyone that is helping me.
Dude has been respectful enough to mention his work is based off mine, and tell you what parts exactly are based on my work.
You haven't given anyone from the community any credit. Please don't be a mooch. that's just lame.

Trust me when I say russians can be quite rude unintentionally but yes some designated 'props' are in order as well as a "spec" list of where the build is.
Haykuro- I would pm this but I have a feeling your box gets overcrowded so let me just say a considerable donation would be made to you if you could produce a build based off the current G build that would allow my wife to switch back and forth between russian and english as she chooses for text etc.
Its great that more and more people are creating custom roms. I love options!
it would be even better if everyone would work together on one build instead of a half dozen different builds....

Dude's G build has Russian locale in it. Look at the screenshots, see if you like it.
There's an option of installing Russian VK (3rd screenshot) into any build, it was on the market at some point... not anymore though. I still have it somewhere. Let me know if you need it, I"ll send it to you. It's fairly simple VK, no spell check, no auto correction but it does the job.
Good luck.
no chinese fonts. no busybox....……
Hey come on you guys. This guy has come on here to show us another version of Android. Lets discuss his version instead of Dude's, or JF's or Haykuro's. We can discuss theirs in their threads.

Great work! It looks good, but to be limited to one screen and also not being able to use widgets, seems like it is a very limited. More so then even an iPhone!
Yeah no widgets and the weather which I like to have is a paid extra only.
hope you aren't using my scripts i made for translating and asking for donations that's pretty lame
not my cup of tea to limited imho
Before donating to aalopez you need to check out the thread Windows 7 App (Translation). The original developer is http://www.joymms.com/English and Samspoon was assisting with the translation because the developer was delayed in getting the English version published, but it looks like the developer has the english version on his website now. I had an e-mail conversation last night with [email protected] and he had just downloaded the English version.
aalopez pdf looks VERY similar to the Readme.htm file you get when you download the app from the following site, http://www.joymms.com/English/. WOW!!!!
I was wondering why another Win 7 thread was created.........

I'm also showing you some love. I've been following this app since the beginning. I think it's awesome. Would like to know what particular features get unlocked with paid version.

Meh, I was excited, but didn't really like it after using it. I couldnt figure out how to put it in landscape. Im sure it will get better with updates though. It reminds me why I preferred my phone over my loptop. It is something new and innovative. Im sure the dev will make some good money off this at 10 bucks a pop.

Would you please give a direct link? My tablet is not connected to the internet.
Thanks.
wow cool downloading it later
Looks good. Will let you know.
Tempting to try it
Trust??
Can we trust the Go Dev Team? its all ad free, free software from an anonymous chinese team, that has access to our contacts, home screen, now what we type.
I dont know if I can trust them. How is any of this monetized?
I somehow find it a bit ironic that how a Chinese dev team produces a keyboard app that doesn't even supports Chinese itself?

I'd trust it I guess, Looks nice and you can't argue with that
I dont really get why it needs to be monetized? It's free to post things in the android market, so I don't see why they would NEED money. But I guess you'll just have to take this with a grain of salt.
I like it, but it's a bit slow AND has no smiley button

congratulations, very pretty and very fast

The worry is because they have a very wide range of high quality apps, that between them have access to lots of personal data. The apps have been really good, but there is always the question of why is it developed for free? How do you recover the cost of the time spent? They seem like so much more than just hobbyist free apps.
Here's a quote from one of them from a Go Contacts thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12180685&postcount=42

In China, 3g.cn is a very reliable source of news/sports/entertainment info and mobile applications.
As of permissions, GO Dev Team tried to remain minimized. For better user experience, we included version check and necessary notification module, which requires Internet access to our server. As of Contact access, that's what we cannot bypass for SMS and Contacts software.
We will keep our application Free (even for so-called Extra versions). If possible, upon request like some of user already did, we will think about open a donation channel, OR even make some paid extra themes, but again, monetization is not our priority.
Any question or concern , please let us know [email protected]
[Might not be able to reply everyone but we do listen]
Millions of users are using -- GO Laucher, GO SMS, GO Contacts, GO Weather, GO Touch Chinese, GO Browser Chinese and more

Hopefully that helps. Sounds like it's similar to why Google has free apps - to get mind share and people using your paid products, which for them is their mobile portal. Those of us not not in China get to reap the benefits of that.

The worry is because they have a very wide range of high quality apps, that between them have access to lots of personal data. The apps have been really good, but there is always the question of why is it developed for free? How do you recover the cost of the time spent? They seem like so much more than just hobbyist free apps.
Here's a quote from one of them from a Go Contacts thread:

Wow, thats really cool +1 thanks
Version 0.0.8
I'm on my droid incredible Ginger Bread Evervolv rom. The keyboards behavior is horrible. Upon install I did get the back ground changed once and then did a re-boot. I'm now having no luck with the back ground. (user defined & copy .jpg in corresponding folder) Also why does it put EN icon in the statues bar, I don't think it's needed.
I always say there is room for improvement. So I can't wait for many to follow! It's just okay at best this far. Now with usage~Handcent it just does one letter and pulls down...it's not even usable. WTF
Wow this is the best keyboard i've used so far. love the default theme too. Except the auto-corrections are kinda off at times.
Good job Go Team!
They have it.

Well...i took a closer look at google's search...i found almost nothing which would identify the "go dev team".
Nobody would ever make someone a present just because he is such a nice guy. so i don't trust the go dev team at all. it seems too pretty to be true.
- An absolutely free SMS Pro App with a huge bunch of features, better than Handcent!
- free dialer/contacts app
- free launcher (great, better than sense!)
...
Who pays it? Where is their "privacy policy"...and...even if 10 million people in China use 3g.cn and the go dev teams products, it proves nothing! China has 1,2 billion inhabitants, 10 million are just nothing.
As long as i don't know if the "Go dev Team" is honourable and respectable, i will not use one of their products. I don't want to see my data go to china (and elsewhere! for the same reason i do not use launcher pro...)
Hi there!
In the last few weeks I developed a little toy which might especially be interesting for developers or "hackers". And since most of the users here are at least technically interested, I found that this forum might be the right place to introduce this app.

Will this app work with drag racing?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Why don't you try out yourself? However, I checked out Drag Racing and unfourtunately it seems like that game at least does not store money via Shared Preferences.
Anyway, I want to state again that this app is rather developed for scientific purposes and for those who are just curious. I think that quite a lot games unfourtunately do not use Android's Shared Preferences to store relevant data. Try it for such purpose, but I do not want to make any promises. I just emphasized that point in the hope of getting a little more attention, but people do not seem to be that interested in that app anyway.
Push again.
... and maybe once again. :/
Push once again. Can't believe, that people acually rate this app bad (two stars) because it needs root access! What the ****... However, I do not believe that it was someone from this forum. But anyway - kind of makes me angry, haha. :/

lol, just forget this kind of feedback mate...
all this kids with ZERO technical background, never ever willing/able to "understand" what they are doing/using
i like the app, will play arround with it before i post some feedback.
anyway thanks in advance and good luck with the app!
It's perfect.
I like i like.
Compliment.
Thank you, guys. That were finally some constructive and nice comments...
Unfourtunately, the majority of Android users, however, seems to be dumb. I just received another two comments. They both rated the app one star.
"scheise ...x" (which is german for "sh*t")
"f*cken root"
Well, thats some very constructive feedback, I love it. :/ Stupid idiots.
Great app , mate. I am really pleased about it. I'm glad that requires root. Not everyone should have this, if you know what i mean

users without shouldnt even have the posibility to rate such apps (wich need root to install)
as they can't try it why they should have a opinion?
True words. But what am I supposed to do else but checking if the app gets root access at the start and displaying an error if it doesn't? Unfourtunately, there is no option at the developer console to disable the download for unrooted phones. :/
But thanks for feedback.
Thank you very much for building this app - I thought it was just what I was looking for! However I have a problem although I'm not sure its necessarily the app's problem. Basically I'm editing the preferences for a live wallpaper which looks in a folder for photos to display. Using your app I can open the preferences file and edit the string relating to the path of the folder. However it has no effect on the app - regardless of whether I open,restart or manipulate the app - all that happens is the preference file gets overwritten with the previous values. Its almost as if the live wallpaper isn't doing a getpreferences call?
Hi privatesam. This might be too late to answer, but anyway... Well, I have no idea what could be the matter here. I would make sure that the wallpaper app is not running in the background. I don't know if that helps. I hope so.
Well, friends, I made a small update this sunday. Basically, I just improved the UI a little bit. And - to be honest - I included another monetization method than AdMob, since my income was that bad with those AdMob banners (eCPM at around 0,05 $...) and I put a lot of work into this app. I'm sorry... I hope, you are not mad at me. I just wanted to give it a try (for those being interested, this ad network is called StartApp Mod Edit: Link Removed. - read about it first, for example here).
Again, please don't be mad at me for trying out this more "intrusive" ad network... Most of you won't notice it anyway I guess (using AdAway).
Hi. Let's give this a push.
Toy defense 2
Hi buddy, can you tell me if or how can I use this for cheat in the Toy defense 2? I think it is imposibble, but I am LAMA thanks for response
I did a small update yesterday. I included some support/help texts and removed some intrusive advertisement due to lots of negative feedback and some false virus alerts (still using StartApp, though). And also because of the Google Play Store policy changes, of course.
A also found a video on YouTube. It does belong to me. I distance myself from its content and the shown use. It is somehow a proof, however, that my app works and how it works.
@honza.chlan:
Since no developer is forced to USE Shared Preferences, this app (Toy Defense 2) might use another way to store their settings. For example on some servers in the internet. CheatDroid does not work everywhere.
Push.
sharing my review onplay store here..
With android available as cheap as 50 bucks,dumb people are getting on the train, don't know what root is,andd blame the dev for it,ITS NOT A ROOT YOUR PHONE APP, NEITHER WORKS WITHOUT ROOT,and if you can't get these simple fkin lines in your mind,then God save the devs, BTW,hats off to dev for working,for making my gaming easier and yes it's your right to earn something you worked on by having ads and our right to block them by adaway,hehehe
FYI contributed my full thanks limit to you today,cheers
I know this isn't a new idea or question. But why isn't there a (free) appstore for xda where developers can upload their apps all in one place. Similar to what dividgiga did in his thread (found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=720944). But would have categories for more devices. Even specific ones. Could have apps, ROMs, kernels, games, mods, anything downloadable. With xda's support they could even implement a feature on the site that when a developer makes a thread and uploads his work on the forum it will give a prompt and ask if he wants it automatically uploaded to the store. I have searched for similar ideas and found that's one place where they failed. People not uploading enough items to the database. Having a prompt for it to automatically be added to the store would [in theory] fix that issue. Also this would raise awareness of the appstore and generate more users and in turn more developers wanting to add their work, another issue I've seen with other appstores. Having everything in one place would also make finding awesome things for your phone so much easier. Cause let's face it if u don't know EXACTLY what to "search" for how are you going to find it? And before someone says it, no I'm not one of the people that is too lazy to search the forum. I actually spend hours searching the forum and Google before I ask for an answer. This would just make it faster and easier. And what's the purpose of technology if not to make things easier, faster, and more efficient?
Anyways these are just my initial ideas. Have many more but I wanted to get some input on this first. Please comment with your opinion or other ideas.

A project like that should cost a lot, and even if someone wanted to realize it, they didn't find investors. I also think the appstore doesn't have to be completely (free). Why not to pay Rom's authors for their work...the cost of a beer from everyone downloads the rom should be enough to thank them. p.s sorry for my English
I agree but in order for xda to back it I'm pretty sure it would have to be free. (If the same rules apply as from the forum). There would definitely be a donation button though. Don't get me wrong on that. And like I said these are just basic initial ideas. By no means is my post a complete plan for an app market.

If you put it in this way, then of course it would be a successfull idea. So who should we fight to have the store?
I've just watched the introduction video...so take my "thank"
I feel like if a detailed more complete plan for this app store was wrote up and presented to xda and enough developers agreed to back it. and help develop it there would be a good chance they would agreed to implement it on their website.it's impossible to not be heard if you make enough noise and present an educated plan. sorry for the brief reply.II'm going into work right now. I will get back on later when I get off. And we can talk about this more. We need to try and get more people to comment on this thread though for sure.
I'm on board

As I said in a previous post. In order to be backed by xda it would have to be free (as stated in forum rules), however their would be donation buttons for people to say thanks. If developers wouldn't upload to the appstore simply because they don't get paid per-app only from donations then why would they load stuff on the xda forum? Because the same rule applies here.
See what I'm trying to say?
support the xda app market!!:good:
however, it will be cool for having a paid apps section to reward developers
Its definitely an option I'm not saying it won't happen. Like I said before make enough noise and you can't be ignored =P any other good ideas? Remember no idea is a bad idea so start brainstorming!
And definitely help try and get more people on board with the idea! The more people that back it up the better chances we will have a stable long lasting appstore and not one that'll be here one minute and gone the next!
Seems cool. Good idea! :thumbup:
LIFE! Make the best out of it!
