[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.

[WIDGET] Prepay Widget - we need testers!

Hello everyone! I am the developer of Prepay Widget, a powerful app that allows you to monitor your account balance through USSD requests.
You can find more info about USSD on Wikipedia, but basically these are short, SMS-like messages used by most GSM and some CDMA providers to deliver information
or control account services. The actual information comes to you in the form of popup toasts, which thids app hides and parses into widgets.
You can find the apps landing page on XDA at the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12348102
However, i want to stress that its important that we get some device-specific feedback, so please post in this thread if you have issues,
this helps me keep track of bugs and requests better.
You can use the Lite version of the app - it has all the functionality of the full version apart from automatic updates (not really that important imo).
As I haven't got one of these phones in my pocket, I need some testers to track down problems. Please, use this thread to comment or
suggest features. It is my belief that addressing issues is best done individually by phone, so if something doesn't work, let me know and I will fix it ASAP.
Market link:
https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.ussd.widget.lite
Debugging:
Please use the "Write to developer" item in the Settings menu to send logs. Enable debugging, reproduce your error and then send the logs.
Make sure you include a description - the more detailed the description the better.
Screens:

i got it but don't know the USSD code for orange uk. Can anyone shed some light here?

I think google is probably your friend there...

App is now in Top New Paid on the market

This is AWESOME! Thanks a lot, ive been using an inferior widget for years!

nice widget ，thank you for sharing

Enjoy! And please leave a comment on the market - it can be a great help!

Ok, after testing i will leave a comment

This app is the best by miles

Thank you!

Works perfectly fine with 2 degrees over here in NZ. Best buck ever spent.
Thanks!

Thanks, please leave a review on the market!
By the way, a major update is currently in testing with lots of cool UI changes.
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium

Brilliant!

Check the main thread for screens of the new ui!

Guys its critical that i get some device-specific feedback for version 1.1.2 that came out today.
Please, be nice XDA members and help!

Please help me debug the latest version! I need some feedback on updates in particular!

How is it working?

1.1.3
- New USSD intercept mechanism (beta)
- Update status animations added
- Log graphivs changed
- Rare device specific errors fixed
- Some update bugs fixed
Lets get some feedback please!

I use the free version, and I am having problems with it since the update. I tap to update the widget (or press update in the app) and it seems to get stuck updating. The spinning icon animation appears and doesn't stop or go away for ages, seems like its been spinning for half the day now. Several USSD code running and done messages popup seemingly at random once updating begins.
The update has not gone well for me it seems on my Desire S with stock rom.
I'm going clear out my old ussd entries and widgets and start again, see if that helps.
**Update** cleared out my ussds and widgets and reinstalled the app. seems to be working properly now. Looks like a few ppl have had this issue judging by the market comments and doing a clean install seems to prevent them.

Guys ive already made a bugfix, but there is some sort of problem with the markets dashboard, cant seem to be able to publish anything right now! Please check tomorrow morning!

Hi, i'm newbie developer for android, but have some experience in network administration. My colleagues and friends often ask for help with computer. And finally, I am tired of these questions and decided that they will ask the phone =) This application contains some kind of useful tools like a "resolver" or "ip calc". Many of hotkeys and commands for Windows and Linux you can find in "Software" part of application. And more....So? please try it, use it and give me response (positive or negative it's doesn't metter). I will try to respond quickly to your needs, and often filled my app with new and interesting stuff.
UPD. Network Tools was added, more hotkeys, BIOS beeps and post codes nd many other useful IT stuff.

First of all, you need to update the title. For example add "[App]" to the title. Also, you need to give requirements like [2.0+] or [4.0+] etc.
Add a tagline giving the basic function of your app in about 5-6 words.
How are people supposed to visit the thread if they don't know what's in the thread?
Just some advice.
Press thanks if I helped

[APP][4.0+] SmartAmount - Plan your finances in a new way

A new way to know how good are you managing your money. Without wasting your time.
How it work?
Just set your current amount, and all scheduled occurrences (incomes and expenses). App will graphically show how your cash availability will change in next months.
The idea is to add all recurring occurrences (mortgage, bills, salary, ecc..) and take a look of quick stats. After that, you will can plan next expenses avoiding to go in to red..
Quick and simple
The goal is to plan expenses (not to have an accounting app), and do this in the way simpler and quicker as possible. You will have only features really you need, and all of these are easy to learn.
If your need is to have a raw valuation, you can omit to write down all small expenses, and use convenient "set starting amount" button, that will clear all past non-recurring occurrences and reset starting amount.
Specs
* Android 3.0+
* Modern style
* Languages: english and italian

What future? I don't see much future since the hardware industry got clearly faster than the 3rd party firmware development.
When even the very popular S5 is loosing activity, what can i do to keep my device SAFE and CLEAN? Nothing! (But start to code on my own...)
