I was wondering if we could get a new forum category for Sony Android TVs created? There's no real place on the net for these TVs. The biggest issue is finding compatible APKs for side-loading, especially ones that are restricted by region. Sub-categories could be:
General
Q&A/Help
Apps
Region Specific (Freeview, etc.)
I would be more than happy to moderate these forums in a temporary or on-going basis.
Thanks,
Paul

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
You may request a new device forum at *** New Device Forum Requests *** .
Mod Edit: Made link clickable.
Good Luck!
Thanks very much, request has been posted!

Hey guys!
I'm planning on some app development for smartphones and I would really like to know how detailed the app-statistics in the different markets are.
To specify my question: is there any statistic in the market of Android and Windows Phone 7 that tells you, from which country your app was downloaded (this week/month/year/overall) or what the default language of the devices is, on which the app is installed? Or does it just tell you how often in general it was downloaded?
Answering that question would help me a lot. I recently created an account on Android Market, but since I didn't upload anything yet I don't have access to any statistics.
Sincerely,
SR
P.S.: Even if this additional question does not really fit to xda, may be someone knows it - what is the answer to my question regarding to Apples App Store?
Hello Android users and devs!
First of all I want to apologize for posting in the General Discussion, but I do not have enough posts to do it in the Development Section.
Also I am not aware whether this has been already discussed or is it forbidden (I didn't found such restrictions in the rules)
Anyway, since I got my Desire S this forum is the primary source of information for me, as well as for all the other visitors around.
And especially when it comes to custom rom files there are troubles with dead links, crappy file sharing sites with stupid limitations, etc.
So I think it will be much more convenient for everyone (devs and users) to use the torrent system via magnet link (combined with QR scan maybe) for all the files that are posted around here. The download speed will be much better and all that have downloaded the file once will contribute by seeding it to the others. And of course via the appropriate client the files can be downloaded directly to the SD Card (this is of course possible now through the phone web browser, but a lot of steps are required - waiting, human security check forms, etc.).
Looking forward to your comments.

I'd suggest that you post this question within this the XDA forum in the chance that one of the mods will answer as this relates to rules and policy and isn't something that a member can answer.
Thank you for your reply! I agree on the policy matter, but my general idea was to start a discussion on this topic. In my opinion the torrent system is much more friendly when it comes to file sharing and I was curious is there people around that agree on that, especially the regular users like me and also the developers that are posting files all the time. One of the advantages as well is that on single torrent there can be multiple files attached.
So what do you think?
Sounds like a great idea

I totally agree with you, but unfortunately if the people here at XDA don't then its a wasted discussion.
Ok, there is the new thread. Let's see what will be the verdict
Hello all
Can someone guide me how or where can i publish my app here on XDA
I have developed an application that helps changing the Android Wireless Mac Address, its available on playstore sine some years ,
But im thinking that publising it here is more than good
So where can i publish it since it doesnt belong to a specific device
Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games or here http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software. Look at other threads there and post your thread in similar way.
Hey there,
I'd like to know if anyone out there tried to use the new Samsung tablet UI on other devices. If so, how did the experience go? I have a feeling that it wouldn't work if I just took the APK out of a system dump and pushed it to my device (like it wouldn't work for the stock launchers of most devices out there, their full functions are usually buried somewhat deep in the system, like on the framework or even deeper sh*t the manufacturer decides), but I think it's worth asking.
Plus, is there a specific forum for app/ports/whatever-like-this requests? I see there is this Q&A board and the apps board, plus device-specific app requests threads over various forums, but I really don't know where would an app request with no specific device in mind would go. If there is such forum already, I'd like to know (and have this thread moved there, if possible), because I couldn't find it easily.
Thanks in advance for any help in any of the matters.
I've discovered that the number of camera app's that provide Clean HDMI out via USBC / a seperate monitor to be nearly non existant.
There's Filmic Pro, but at $150 a year subscription, it'd be cheaper to make my own for the 3 licenses I'd need.
I've made some basic Android apps previously, after studying at Uni, but I've not kept up with the API/scene.
Does anyone have any pointers on what the best angle of attack would be?
E.g. if there's a library recommendation with decent camera GUI functionality already, and what search terms to use to find the Android multi-screen API's for creating a second screen?
My searching resulted in finding multi-window support, and 'projecting/casting' support, which isn't what I was looking for.

Hello and good morning, @ryantheleach
Welcome to XDA. I hope you'll always get the support you require.
However, prior to your next posting please read the guidances that are stuck on top of every forum like
Note: Questions go in Q&A Forum
If you are posting a Question Thread post it in the Q&A forum. Technical discussion of Android development and hacking. No noobs, please. Device-specific releases should go under the appropriate device forum...
forum.xda-developers.com
and the others. I've moved your thread to General Q&A.
Thanks for your cooperation!
