[Project] droid host - General Topics

Hello,
I'm currently working on a new project called droid host.
It's a website where developers can host their roms (and other software).
Every user will only have limited storage (about 2-10gb cause traffic and storage is expensive)
Clients will be able to Download the files just with one click (no waiting time, no clicking on a download button)
I may also add a extended account for 1-1,5€/Month for more storage.
Do you think this is a good project or am I just waiting my time with it?
Would you use such a service to host your roms?
Update:
droid host has reached alpha status. The main things are working. I will now find bugs and add additional features.

Bright idea, but I wouldn't recommend the name, people would start thinking the same guys who run XDA-Developers run it, which would stir up all kinds of drama.

ROM Host . XD

Okay, I renamed it to droid host, since I think the most hosted roms will be for android and I personaly like android
Later, I will post a screenshot of the design in the first Thread.
I'm currently working on the upload/management/download mechanism.
I think I will move to public beta this month or at the latest next month if everything works as planned.
Stay Tuned!

[ROM] Android4Autism v1 Ready for download

Hey guys. I think everyone is aware by now that I'm preparing to launch Android4Autism. As far as ROM development goes, I think I have the basic structure down for the Epic. I haven't yet worked on anything else, device-wise.
Anyway, this ROM is based on EE05 Froyo and is along the lines of the BYOR Editions previously released under the midNIGHT ROM banner. I have some ideas and a beta currently in place but I still ironing out the final feature set. My goal is to provide future upgrades if at all possible as well.
I will be in need of testers (preferably with young kids) for the Actual ROM itself and feedback on the following:
1) Apps that should be available (keeping in mind this is for a special needs child)
2) Suggestions for FREE children's software from the Market.
3) I'm thinking of replacing the Samsung "splash screen" with a picture of the child receiving the device along with emergency contact information. Thoughts?
Anyway, I will try to get this up in the next day or so. I have spoken with Fede from LauncherPro and was given permission to use that as the devices launcher. I choose LauncherPro because it can easily be customized by the parents and it allows for the hiding of icons like the dialer for example. So thanks to Fede and the team over at LauncherPro for their support.
For the latest updates you can follow me on twitter @Android4Autism
Also on Facebook at Android4Autism
The main site is under construction as is the Facebook page but I am making progress. Baby steps.....right.
Please remember to consider donating your old devices....NOT YET.. Just hang onto them for the time being.
Thanks Everyone....
UPDATE:
The Android4Autism v1 ROM for the Epic is up on the Development Page.
THIS IS NOT FOR EVERYONE. This ROM is a test ROM based on midNIGHT ROM v5.3 EC05.
This ROM is designed for children with Autism. While it will function basically the same as a BYOR Edition it comes with children's apps preinstalled.
I'm interested in how your children can utilize this. I have had a few revisions of this ROM already. In previous revisions I had launcherpro preconfigured to hide all the apps but the kids ones. However, for some reason the apps couldn't be unhidden. So when these devices ship out the extra apps will be hidden.
This is a stable ROM.
In the final build the following will change:
journaling turned on.
The wallpaper will change
more kids and Autism friendly apps
PLease let me know what you guys think.
Reserved........
Thank you rob!

Cool Idea, I have a 7 yr old a 3 yr old and a 1yr old that all love to play with my phone. I have to find apps for them all the time to play with. I wouldnt mind helping out with testing. I think its pretty cool that you incorporate something that you love to do with a serious issue that may not be addressed commercially.
I really can't wait for this!!
Btw, you meant to say "EC05" rather than EE05

Thank this mans children for his inspiration to mod/develop roms.
Awesome idea Rob. My sister-in-law was asking if I knew of something she could put on (besides toddler lock) and let her kid have at her phone.
Something like this could get a LOT of interest beyond Autism. Perhaps raising money for it in the process?
Thanks everyone for all the feedback so far.
Rob,
I would be interested in beta testing for you. Would you be willing to email me at [email protected] with some details.
Thanks.

Way to be on top of it iSaint!

Hands down brilliant. Let me know if I can help test etc. Already liked on FB and have several friends to mention this to.
While reading the description the "splash screen" bullet sparked an idea. When a phone is locked it will allow emergency calls. What if this was altered to provide quick instructions for any third party and also allow a "call" tab to include parent and local emergency? This would allow anyone to pick up the phone and know what to do vs searching for a contact number and guessing. My son has a wallet card indicating that he has AS and it describes what he may be acting like, what to do, what not to do and who to call. This has worked out well but sometimes he it too far into an episode to remember the card or anything else besides the cause of the episode.

Petition to former SGS4G developers to return to the forum

As you all know, nearly two weeks ago the long awaited source code for the Android Gingerbread software was released. This had been a joyous occasion for many of us who had been patiently awaiting its release in hopes that it would lead to working versions of Cyanogenmod and MIUI on our phones, as well as several kernel modifications that were not previously possible. The first few hours of speculation turned into days, which turned into weeks, with the promises of development yet to be fulfilled. As it turns out the fears of some of you had come true, that the few developers that were left lost interest in the Galaxy S 4G for other projects.
While people like Raver have actively stuck with us, there has been a dead silence by those who were previously the most visible on this forum. Whitehawkx who has left us for the Galaxy S2, Dsexton who had left for lack of a separate computer,and Dr Honk who God knows where he is. Krylon ive seen mention working on a kernel once but with little detail. These were some of the best we had and we need to make it overwhelmingly obvious to them that they are wanted and needed here. So I propose that we take the time to let them know that the source code they've wanted and needed is now available and ready to be worked. Youre welcome to write up your own words for a message, though heres something I threw together along with the public contact info for the devs.
Feel free to reach out to any other devs who have not been listed here or from other forums.
Update: Dev's emails were removed by site mods. If you would like to email the people below, you can readily find their email in their user profiles and in their Donate To Me links.

“Hello (dev screen name),
This is (your screen name) from the Galaxy S 4G forums on XDA. If you haven’t heard, the source code for Gingerbread we have been eagerly awaiting was finally released a few weeks ago for our phones. With the source finally released, the limitations our devs had faced before in developing for the SGS4G are now gone, and the path is clear for development of CM7 and MIUI for our phones. I have noticed you have not been around the SGS4G forums recently, but I along with all the other forum members have been hopefully awaiting your return to developing for our phones with the expertise you have shown in all of your many other projects for the SGS4G. As well, the lack of devs on the forum have left many of the still poplar ROM’s unmaintained and not updated to the latest official release. Please come back to developing for the SGS4G for all of us who have spent hours testing and using your ROM’s and show us what your talents can turn these phones into.
Thank you”
I think this is good intended but i fear it wont change anything.
Dont forget soma and airfluip who has been developing for our phones recently.
Krylin said in twitter that he will begin working in a ROM based on GB for our phones. Although he said he will start it today if he doesnt its still good news. I know he can make kernels and roms. Also raver is working. Dsexton said he will get a computer soon and that he needed break. White.... I dont know he droppwd when ki3 leaked. But oh well, lets enjoy or wait.
I've been lurking these forums since this phone came out, with the occasional post here and there.
I have seen people waiting months just for root.
I remember kb5 enhanced was our only ROM for times without end, just to have that developer throw a fit at Mr.Clown for mistakingly closing his thread and leave us hanging.
I remember following Krylon on twitter for what seemed like an eternity, until we finally had cwm on our phones.
Then came the good times.
New roms coming out just about every week, themes, mods, and all the goodies we see on our forums today.
New developers popping up, the formation of teams like aerodonk and acid.
Now we are back in one of these silent periods.
It seems like all development stopped.
But one thing I've learned from these forums is that patience is a virtue.
We go from bad times to good times, to bad again, and so on.
I'm sure there is progress being done right now.
No matter how little, our how long it's taking, it will come.
And a new life cycle will start for our phones.
We just gotta hang tight, get through this metamorphose, and then our phone will come out, greater then before!
Saw on krylons twitter something about doing another rom based off of the gb update so that looks promising.
Also its not just the sgs4g. I own a sensation as well and things have really slowed there too.
I understand everybodys frustration with the length of time that it is taking for us to get new roms. But you have to understand these guys do this in their spare time. And yes, it is true that because of Samsung and t mobile taking forever to release a GB for us made some of the devs loose interest and move to other devices; however, we still have Raver and Krylon on or side, Dsexton will be coming back soon, and hopefully we can get Drhonk and Whitehawx back if not for developing but for at least guidance, tips, and support. I for one have started trying to learn how to do some of this but without a Linux machine it is a bit difficult. But there is no reason some of you can't chip in and try to learn this stuff too. Not to override the few true devs we have, but to assist them.

Hi Thomas
Please share your knowledge source. I am willing to learn as well, though to tell you the truth, moding and theming couldn't care me less, I'm always into performance and reliability, as well as good RTL and foreign language support (like in CM and MIUI).
Other than that, I'm always on stock theme.
I'm no dev, but I'm considering to become one in the future.

My biggest resources are picking the brain of RaverX3X and google. You can do most everything on a windows machine except mod kernels and make an Odin .tar (for those you need Linux or the ability to run Linux in a vm environment). There are quite a few tutorials out there. You just have to download the right tools to do it, have lots of spare time to devote to it and the gonads to test it.lol... Pm me later with specific questions and I can give you direct links to tutorials that might help you as well.

You don't necessarily need Linux in order to make an Odin flashable tar file, I personally use Cygwin to make the modem packages.
Yes I am aware that Cygwin is Linux-like command line, but it is by no means Linux in a VM environment.

I remember when i had the galaxy vibrant early this year i was so into the device cause they were a lots of roms here to choose from and thats one of my concerns now for this device now. If you go to the vibrant section there are a lots of 2.2 biulds 2.2.1, 2.3 ,2.3.3 etc etc etc. And they are all different. Including from stock to MIUI and htc Sence. As well as gingerbread and honeycomb. So my question is why the devs didnt work on some builds like those for this device. From my end i really dont care about what number of the OS is as long the build is stable, fast, bloatware free, custom ringtones, wallpapers, and other great thing that i did manage to see on my old vibrant that i no longer own :/
Yesterday my older sister got the galaxy s 2 for tmobile and its so awsome. I have envy in me now jajajajaja xD

This is true. Which is what I am learning to use now, but I forgot to add that part... Thanks for catching my error. From my understanding, you can use it to modify a kernel as well, but i'm not having very good luck with it yet.

This is mere conjecture on my part, but I would assume that you can modify the kernel in Windows as long as your text editor supports Unix-type line endings (Notepad++ works nicely), and then compile it using presumably gcc in Cygwin. Again, this is merely speculation on my part, having only built a Linux kernel on Linux, for my desktop.

[Q] Would you use torrent downloads for roms?

I am thinking of setting up torrents for some of our amazing ROM's to give people another way to download which in theory could be ALOT faster than any of the direct download services Devs use at the moment.
If your a dev and think this is a great idea and want me to start a torrent for your ROM PM me or post here!
If your not sure what a torrent or torrenting is check out the good old wikipedia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent_(protocol)
After all, most if not all good Linux distros offer a torrent why shouldnt android ROMS
I would love to! But i think it would only be worth it for more popular ROMs.

I use torrents a lot!
The beauty of torrent is the ability to verify files being downloaded. It just might end the problem of file corruption during download ....
Probably one of the best ideas for exchanging ROMs. I hope that the rest of the devs will do the same.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
I would, but only for popular ROMs which would have more seeders. Torrents can't be used for ROMs which aren't so popular as it would result in slow downloads. Besides, torrents are much faster and no need to "Wait 60 seconds or go premium" or writing Capatchas.
This can be a solution. The only problem I see is keeping the latest version of a rom. Since lots of people may not be able to read posts it can be a lot of work for the devs to keep their opening posts updated with the latest sources.
This may not be such a big problem here in the DS forum since we are not so many (sadly the DS is not one of HTCs bestsellers) - but imagine the bashing if some don't read the latest torrent written two posts before.
Nevertheless, torrents can help, but I agree only for popular roms.
Agree completely, but yes, we need seeders....
Also the attitude of the people out here, if you download, seed it back!!!!
My main concern is speed, has to be at least 100kb/s, thus seeders are going to be a concern.
Thanks for all the replys, ok then so what ROM's do you think we should do to start with?
Definitely primo and ice cold sandwich
Swyped from my HTC Desire S....
I agree this is a good idea but unless someone has a seedbox which can seed round the clock 24/7 I can't see it working because most people won't seed back thus another dead torrent.

Well I have created the page in the dev section with the links here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1559247
And my laptop for all new torrents will be running at least solidly for a good few days, I do only have about 150kb/s upload so it will not be amazing fast to start with but will add new torrents once people have download the others etc.

What would also be awesome if it can also be uploaded to Usenet.
Also it must be a split file with par2 files.
I have dedicated seedbox and 100 Mbit FTH line. Will look at this later if there is a need.

Once my seedbox sorts itself out mine will be used for this to, over the day I have had quite a few hits so it looks like people really are interested.
More seedboxs the better, check out the dev thread on it for the torrents running at the mo, once my seedbox is working I shall do many many more
Torrents might be a good idea for the latest ROMs but the older (maybe more stable once) will have lower seeds IMHO.
Anyway, my laptop (office equipment) dsnt allow me to use torrents on any network.
Personally I wouldn't. I DL ROMs directly from my phone, and I don't know how to use torrents on my PC anyway
I don't mind if the dev includes a torrent, as long as they include a regular DL aswell.

[MOD] Aware license

Hi guys,
I'm hereby proposing a new kind of license, the 'Aware' license. This license shall be designed to spread general awareness that the world gains of the work.
The 'Aware' license by implication requests your help in being aware of the developer and if you like his work, then spread the word, and the simple awareness will support him in his endeavors.
'This software is being distributed with the Aware license. Please allow it to be brought to your kind awareness that ....( you can insert anything you want if you don't want to use mine. You can bring attention to a social cause for example).
If you like this work please help your friends become aware of this too.'
Individual licenses of reused components inside continue to apply. You can also have multiple Aware licenses if you want to include mine with yours.
This is intended to help users gain the maximum out of their old devices and reduce consumption in the form of having to buy new devices all the time.
'This software is being distributed with the Aware license. Please allow it to be brought to your kind awareness that buying lesser devices could possibly have a direct positive socio-political impact in some countries where the components are sourced from.

Have you considered making this completely open source? I fear that cause you are still updating the OP that you're still going to be open to attack. However if you open source your project you are in effect protected by it's licensing etc.
Then to whom ever pushes the most contributions back to to your repository then you could consider handing it overt to them? If they are a member here then I am sure with the go ahead from XDA admin the thread can be handed over to that member or possible creation of a group or sub group in the forums that could be dedicated to the future developments of crossbreeder? This would ensure no one person owns it. All people own it and it's future can be safe. This would mean that what ever powers that be cannot target you as a developer... they would then have a job on their hands attempting to target many. You bring then a state of anarchy to digital mobile world.
What ever you end up doing with the project, i wish you all the best and remember above all stay safe (stick closely to your family and friends first and foremost)

The hope is that the Aware license will help. If you can pass this to your friends that the developer of this thread has publicly stated his name in the Aware license so the mere fact that you and your friends are aware of him in large numbers will bring attention to him.
That is the hopeful intent of the Aware license.
@xda admins, if you could hand over the keys to @fivefour with a request to keep my appeals intact in the developer thread OP ( maybe collapse it inside a 'Show content') and change everything else there as he pleases and leave this general thread OP as is ( with any of his additions below ) that would be great.
Cheers and goodbye once again.
To the good, stay good.
After I get my new laptop I'd like to take a gander at the source and see what I can do to pitch in I personally love this mod and refuse to let it die someone wants to make threats I say come say them to the barrel of my Taurus Judge.
With that said I should have a new laptop and phone to play on around Dec 10-15ish...take care @idcrisis I am sending you one last pm in a sec you should look at

I'm so sorry you had to go through that nightmare. I really am. I wonder what kind of people go so low to threat people like that.
Also, my condolences for your friend. You have written a great mod, your legacy cannot be touched. Thank you so much, once again.
About your decision, it starts with you're free to do whatever you want without being judged. With that said, life is priceless.
The best of luck for you my friend.
It will be a while before I'm fully up on his scripts but priority one is the much needed Android app to ensure CrossBreeder is more accessible and user friendly. The sources to the app and any changes I make will end up on Github for all to participate.
I recently moved and my PC is currently in storage, it will be a few days before I'm able to begin work on the app.

Really great job on the ROM. Lots of customization xtras and battery life is really really good. After using this for 2 days I only have 1 issue and that's with the anti-piracy app setting. Ive looked everywhere in settings but cant find where to shut it off. I can't install lucky patcher and unfortunately, that's a deal breaker and I'd hate to have to change ROM's when this is, honestly, my favorite one yet for the Kindle by far. Thank you for your time.

There's not a switch off sadly.
I know that there's a way to disabled it but I don't remember how.

Anti-Piracy setting is there for a reason.

I know. I agree with the idea of it, and I'm not complaining about it.
Hdmi out Works?
Thanks for the rom! Love AICP, it's what I use on my phone too.
Doesn't seem to have Tap-to-wake, is that a hardware limitation? any chance of adding it? One of my favorite features, and would be very useful on the kindle, as I find myself fumbling for the hard to find power button.
This Content Guard is shady to say the least. Why the need to go to closed source with it now? This isnt about piracy its about PRIVACY. This **** belongs on iOS not Android. Its cool tho the workaround is pretty easy, dont forget that pirates and FOSS are one and the same and all this stuff does is makes people learn new ways to circumvent the b.s.

Its an old post but I just have to say that if you want to use warez(lucky patcher) then you DESERVE to have issues with your device.
Some nerve to come here and complain to a developer about his ROM not allowing you to use software designed to steal from other developers? REALLY!?
This community is a community of developers, I doubt there is any developer on the whole site that gives a **** about your inability to use Lucky Patcher.

Did you forget that XDA is an open source community? My issue is with the anti-piracy add on being closed source. For me, and I'm sure a lot of other XDA members, it's about privacy, not piracy.

It isn't about what your purposes are, it's the fact that it is warez, that is all.

You're right it isn't about my purposes, it's about someone developing a custom ROM on an open source platform and adding closed source features to it.

No one came to you asking you to use his ROM.
Use it or don't, but don't come complaining because the ROM won't allow you to use a piece of software designed to steal from other developers, whether you are using it for that purpose or not. Your entire complaint is based on the fact that you can't use Lucky Patcher because as you stated, "that's a deal breaker for you", you will get no sympathy anywhere on XDA about not being able to use it.
If your complaint were in some other area then someone here might be willing to make some changes.
Anyway, you understand that Lucky Patcher isn't tolerated at XDA in any way, shape, form or function, so why waste your time complaining about it. Move on and enjoy your device with something else.
