Database Info

[To all rom dev] RomStats: get real stats about roms, devs, devices,... [WIP]

So you are a rom modder/dev and you want to have real stats about your rom? Not sure?
You probably have those question unanswered right now:
how many users installed and are using your rom?
which versions of your rom are your users running?
people stop using your rom, what rom do they install to replace yours?
what is your share of the market, compared to other devs?
where are your users from?
and so on...
Imagine getting graphs, pie charts,.. with all those data? Would be awesome, right?
To start gathering data that I've prepared a small app, RomStats (see note (1)). It's meant to be installed by modders & rom devs into their roms, any rom!
When installed in a rom, the app will show a notification in the notif bar after the first boot (right after installing the rom) asking the user to participate in stats.
After the user agree, some ANONYMOUS data are send to a database online.
At the moment, the app is done, the database to collect is done. What is still pending is to develop the stats reporting pages (the most interesting part of it).
So, if you are a dev, and are interested in that, show you interest here, and install the app in your roms so data start to be collected.
I hope people see the potential behind this, and start to implement it in their roms. I'll probably need some help from web developers & reporting-skilled guys :-D.
At the moment, as a proof of concept, you can go to this page. there is almost no stats, just a counter how much unique devices (phones), devs, phones model... are registred in the database. I'll continue enhancing the type of information presented to the visitor. We could also imagine creating some private sections for devs :-D!
How to install the app in your roms: (it SHOULD be done by the rom's dev! not by every user):
Download the apk (latest version in now in the Market): com.adlx.stats.apk (direct link)
Place the apk in /system/app (in your update.zip)
Add those 3 lines to /system/build.prop, changing the value to reflect your dev nickname, your rom's name and your rom version:
ro.stats.devname=Adlx
ro.stats.romname=Adlxmod
ro.stats.romversion=3.0.0.2
And that's it!
I would love many devs consider participating, so of course, feel free to re-distribute RomStats with your next rom or next patch (don't forget to configure the 3 lines in build.prop, or it won't gather correctly your info).
I repeat, if I see people interest and I see data actually getting collected everyday from several roms, devices,... then I'll continue the project. Any help is welcome of course!
What data are collected:
* A unique identifier of the device
* Identifier of the device model
* The nickname of the rom's dev
* The name of the rom (without version or model information)
* The rom version number, preferably a.b[.c[.d]]
* Information of the carrier (name, ID)
* From which country is the device (given by the carrier)
The data are ANONYMOUS (regarding the identifier of the device, it's taken from an Android API call, then hash using md5, so it can't be reversed).
Here is an interesting article by Chris Soyars explaining more about how the stats work, and why users should participate: http://www.cyanogenmod.com/blog/cmstats-what-it-is-and-why-you-should-opt-in.
Notes & Credits:
(1) RomStats is based on CMStats from Cyanogenmod, by Chris Soyars (Apache licensed). For the moment I have slighly modified it to be able to work with any rom, and send the data to another site.

sound like a good idea, I hope devs will support this.

Sounds good!
thank's a lot, i put your apk in my last rom!

Awesome. I'll try to enhance asap the stats that are shown.
Next week I'll be on holidays, so I will probably not be able to do much, but when I come back I'll continue.

I believe it's a win-win for users and devs, the more people collaborate, the more data get collected, the better get the stats.

Updated app (same link in the OP) to 1.0.5.
Added screenshots to the OP.

Thanks for app
+1 in my rom => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1040144
Suggest:
edit in build.prop
Code:
ro.product.device=Motorola Defy MB525
to have unique devices instead umts_jordan, etc etc

Good.
I'll put these app on my ROM.

Wow only a few hours after I cooked this baby in to thunderstickGB website down. That sucks, oh well...
Thanks for all the work on this. definitely worth it.

is this app open source? can anyone see the source code? I like the idea, I am not a dev but as a user, I would allow the app to run in order to participate in the stats (I already did it when I used CM7), however, someone could think is too dangerous to have an app like that running in every custom ROM. But if everyone can check the source code, it would be more transparent.
Hope don't take for bad my comment.

YEah, sorry about the downtime. It definitely took long time. Yet it wasn't my fault. I'm relying on a free hosting platform. They perform quite great anyway (especiallly when you remember it's free).
RomStats site is now up again.
Regarding your stats, don't fear, you will not loose the count of your installs because of the downtime. Next time the device will chackin it will appear :-D.
Welcome aboard and thanks for using RomStats

Bump for an awesome idea
Sent from my ThunderStick via a bolt of lightning.

I will try it in ny next MS2Ginger Build.

Hello,
I am thinking ofputting this'll in my next Rom.
is there anyway to impliment bug crashes/reports.
or a page where we can see our own rom stats like country my users are in?
It only currently shows how many users.
Thanks

A quick bump, just to say that RomStats have hit the 25k Unique devices mark!
Interface has been enhanced, with possibility to filters data simply by clicking on the charts.

For a developer trying to see these stats,
It shows, when it even works, very little.
anyway to improve this?
I have never been able to view my rom stats.
it always looks like the pics below.
I'm sorry to say, but if i can't view them, why use this app?
Yes, build.prop is correct.
Am I missing something obvious?

The problem is I'm using Google Chart Tools, which are not yet compatible with Mobile device... which is weird coming from Google.
So, unfortunately, you need to go from a computer, but it works, and it's now much faster than before! I optimized a bit the DB to get faster response to queries also.

Is there any way I can get a copy of my last stats? (Before the project went dead)
At anyrate, thank you for your wonderful creation.

In the past few weeks, I've updated the app to fix a lot of bugs, added support for more countries other than US (US, Canada, Australia, and India!), and made buttons prettier! Also I don't really know how to change the post title to reflect the version number - does anybody know how?
Thanks!

Hmmm ... how does "Not easy control" constitute "feedback" to the developer? As a developer myself, I can tell you categorically that it is not useful as a piece of "feedback".
If you really want to give feedback, you will give detailed and constructive feedback - eg, "Thank you for this useful app, which you have provided for us for free. I am happy to report that I was able to do "abc" successfully with it. However, when I tried to do "def", I ran into "ghi" problems. If you could please add "xyz" features, at your convenience, it would be really helpful."
A developer is more likely to pay attention to this kind of constructive feedback than a three-word "feedback". And, remember, most devs here are doing things out of the kindness of their hearts, are providing their work gratis, have their own lives, jobs, families, etc., and do not have to do anything at all to help any of us.

Where did you find the app? I have some legitimate ideas for the developer to implement that will make this app more ease of use friendly and overall better for the community.

Calm yourself, he didn't give bug report for which he needs to add more formalities. Not everyone is a office guy. Besides, every app should be user friendly if it is given out for public use.
You just can't slam anyone saying dev is doing it for free. Dev is giving it for free on his own will. If he wishes he can charge for it. Also, no one has requested any dev to keep their lives aside and do public service. They can very well develop for own self.

I think that this app is very good. But it will be better if you can make some changes to it. To be specific, I recommend the button in quick setting panel should only be used to turn on/off, with level of brightness being set in the app. Thank you for sharing such a usefull app.
