I have set-up a irc channel for the Sensation. I set it up for a number of reasons. It allows users with issues to stop by the channel and get "instant" help from a dev or more experienced user. For Devs it gives them a place to go to get testers immediately for roms/apps they are working on. We have one for the asus transformer and all the devs come in there when they have things that need to be tested. I know it has made the dev's life easier for the TF because whenever he needs someone to test there is usually someone available. My goal is to make this channel a great resource for devs, testers and power users to come together and share ideas etc... I'm also looking for a few trustworthy people to become mods in the channel. (Established devs always get mod access)
The channel is on freenode irc. #HTC-Sensation
if you dont have an IRC client you can access the channel by going to webchat.freenode.net
lets make this another great resource for dev chat

Just wondered if anyone had considered creating torrents for things instead of posting links to upload sites or having to worry about having to host things on a private server. This could solve a lot of problems and make downloads much faster for everyone. Linux users probably already know that many of the linux distro sites offer torrents just for that reason.

I think they like to track the # of downloads, I don't know if you can do that with Torrents.
Another reason is, such as with the bamf previews, they can take them down. On a torrent they do not have that option.

This was suggested a couple months ago. I seeded BAMF and BAMF Remix 1.6.3 or something for a couple weeks and posted it in the BAMF thread because people asked but no one used it.

Why should they really care if they can take them down or not? If there is a problem with the ROM and it is bricking everyone's phone, just make a new sticky that says "Don't install this". This whole recurring theme about "don't re-post the ROM cause you might piss off the devs" is kind of silly.

Because they were strictly previews, and it was stated as such that they would only be available for a short time. And honestly if a dev wants control over their Rom and where it's located, well more power to them.

So we are rooting our phones against the wishes of our carrier and manufacturer but don't want to upset a dev by posting their rom where folks can download it faster? We do the same thing with most all other applications on the internet without regard to the original developers. Firefox has retired Firefox 4 but you can still find plenty of places on the net to download it.

Way I see it, the devs have the right to request that no one mirror their roms for what ever reason, be it tracking downloads, ability to take them down (again for what ever reason) or just plain being a ass. If people dont agree with that request, they can and should feel free to download a different rom.
Also with torrents, can you really be sure you are getting the correct file? how many people actually check the md5 before trying to flash the rom? Keeping it in the control of the dev insures, at least partially, that the download is correct.

Or we can continue with the spirit that makes the internet great including things like custom ROMs, and do whatever the hell we want to do.
This code is owned by Android / HTC. Did the devs get their permission before they modified it and posted their custom ROM?
Please, this whole "lets don't upset the devs" is getting really old. XDA is full of a bunch of dev ass kissers and smart ass devs.
If someone is too dumb to generate a MD5 then that is their fault.
As stated above, torrents are a bad idea when it comes to flashing a Rom. Also if you do ever upload a Rom anywhere make sure you ask the developer first no matter whether you think you should or not

Proof that you're a developer
Why you would like the hosting
I will reply if you're accepted and I will request further information after that.
I only accept accounts being using for hosting. If anytime this is violated I will suspend that account until the issue resolved. Repeat offense get account banned and no future for an account.
I do ask you mention Gaigetech as you hosting provider but no link back is necessary.
I ask you not to upload source code(that you wish not to share) or other sensitive files to this hosting as it will accessible to the public.
Hope you guys use it, thank you again!
Hey this is cool dude
I'm not a dev but I'm sure they will really like this a lot
Big thanks to you for making an effort to the community in different way

So how much money have u made rooting peoples phones, or installing roms? Some devs may frown upon this considering they do all this work for free and make nothing. If i gave my work away for free on the web i wouldnt want it hosted on the same site that someone charges people to install my work when u could be courteous and point them to the step by step tutorial on how to root, install recovery, roms etc..
Not tryin to be a jerk just statin my thoughts.

I root phones for people and charge them $20 bucks if they dont want to attempt it. Matter of fact, i know quite a few people who charge to root and mod phones, because most people arent into hacking their phones.
It really is none of your business what someone does and how much they make at THEIR business... I see where you are coming from with the whole hosting roms and themes thing, but whats the difference if he charges them and uses his site or if he charges them and downloads the theme or rom from xda?
The devs know what people are doing, and if they wanted to charge people for their work they could, and majority of us would pay.
Since when did we have a conscience police around here?
Sent from my PG06100 using Tapatalk
We don't charge for the root software or roms, we charge for the labor. Even then I have a close friend of mine who develops his own root methods for GAIGETECH to use and then we use a rom the customer chooses, and which we usually suggest CM7 if applicable.
The reason why I decided to host roms/themes/mods for the evo shift is because I own a evo shift. This was my way of saying thanks to the developers and helping the evo shift community. I don't intend on stealing their material as source code SHOULDN'T be stored on my server.
Hey more power to u godman, I appreciate the response. I don't mean to be a jerk or come across as condescednding.
That's cool that ur offerin space. Is ur server dedicated? How much space/ bandwidth do u haven.
Sent from my PG06100 using Tapatalk
The server is dedicated and more space than I know what to do with lol. The server is owned by www.pingpulse.net, whom I work for. I get all the server space I want and bandwidth I want.
thank you for finding the thread, if an admin/mod can, could delete the old one I'd greatly appreciate it

Yup. 24/7 idling instead of 24/7 support is more like it.
And yes, I'm one of the epic idlers.
I just patrol the room every once in a while... make sure everyone is awake...
Figured would bump this up for general user to use the link so that they can choose their own nicks. If unsure what IRC is google it. And if u join the channel at least say hello. And if u are a Rogers customer with aRogers Infuse feel free to state that.
Like said bumping for general knowledge

If you are talking about being banned on IRC chat its due to you using the "Webchat" interface in internet instead of download a IRC client.
Do a google search for Mirc or Xchat install any of those and setup the program .. You should not have any problems after that.,
Good luck!

Yea I just found a post about it a few threads down. Went ahead and gave you a thanks for the info. Since there busy with the gb kernel Ill do my part by just staying out of the way lol. Just glad it wasn't anything I did or anything personal lol.
P.S. Just came back to edit my post to reflect the found info. Prefer to correct myself if I find an answer on my own so others can see the answer too.
I am starting up a new site and I would really like to see what people opinions are of it.
I have been talking to a few developers and users on here about it and there seems to be some interest.
It basically organizes Recent Rom releases from XDA by Make, Model, Dev, OS, etc. I feel like it would be a quicker way for users to see whats new with there phones.
It still uses the Developers links, info, images, Donation code, links back to XDA threads ,etc.
I am willing to put the time in to make it great if there is a need for it.
So let me know!
http://romwatcher.com
Seems like it could prove to be helpful. Go for it.
Its sounds very nice idea.. I visited ur site and i founded it very promising.!!!

As most developers host their own roms on private servers to watch and control downloads many will not be willing to allow their work to be posted in a place where they have no control. Think about it for a min. If a dev releases a rom with a major bug like bricking a device they can pull it. This has been tried many times already and has never gone anywhere.
People flash roms like it is something cool to do without thinking about what could happen. Flashing an Expermental OS to a $500 device is not something to be done for fun with no understanding of what they are doing.
I understand what your saying. The site still uses all the Download links the devs provided so if they pull the download it will just be a deadlink. But yeah the management of actually pulling the ROM from the site would be a hassle. Plus judging from the results of this thread there doesn't seem to be that much interest in the idea. haha

Seems to be useful. Many users try to get stable ROM's for their mobiles.
I would suggest to add "stable" and "experimental" ROM's category tab in the site for each mobile you provide.
Also get permission from the developers before posting their download links on your site!
Good Luck with your site!:good:
The Stable/experimental attribute is a good idea. I have been contacting developers asking permission and so far no one has had a problem with anything :fingers-crossed:
Thanks!

take down thoose downloads immediately!!
u never asked me if u can publish them nor i have granted u access todo so so
take them down now or i will report u to XDA mods/Admins !
Edit:
-> Thread reported to admins
-> may all thoose users will thank u for not getting any updates anymore
You haven't RELEASED an update for months. The key word being RELEASED. Look up the definition.

But I won't take them down when the latest cm10.1 ROM has already had multiple downloads.

That's not true, because first u failed to mention rom's are made by Talustus, and you say no updates for months? Than care to explain cm-10.1-20130614-UNOFFICIAL-i9210t, also TWRP is also built from scratch by Talustus, i say that you should have, at least, went to irc, take time to know the work, and ask for permission, if Talustus has not set anything else up he has a reason for that... Any of the ppl on irc could have done what you did, but no one done it out of respect for the developer, so you should have asked before doing it, i have been sharing with tal's permission on a portuguese forum, but everysingle time he asks to take a link down i take it out imediatly, and if and when he decides he only wants to distribute on irc i will take all links down imediatly, because like every single developer here on xda he has the right to not allow mirrors.
Just my 2 cents.

Then i realy wounder about where that 14.06.13 ROM comes from LOL !!!
No need to calm down and it doesnt matter even if millions of people request something.
Its my choice and only my choice to choose the methods i use to provide my files ! So take them down now! doesnt matter wich downloadcount they have!
If people do not agree in joining on irc to download latest files ... bad luck for them.
U have no idea about how much work we all spend to this.
One is for sure u now forced me to stop providing updates, people will love u for that i guess.
Edit: Files are taken down by DMCA request to rapidshare
Developer is not refusing to make his roms public, he just uses his own way of making them available for public, and we must respect his decision.
