Which online storage should I use for my ROM? - Off-topic

What online storage site is the best to put new ROM's on??
- waiting before downloading?
- pop-up's?
- a lot of spam on the page?
- slow downloadconnection?
- max. number of downloads at a time?
- max. data transfer a day?
That are some negative features of online storage site's, I'm searching for a solution without all of that!

I would go for either mega-upload, or 4-shared(has online archive system, with folders and stuff).

I would host it on the xda ftp server. or find someone with server that wants to host it. i maybe could host your rom if you would like. pm me for more info.

You cant host ROMs on XDA's ftp server. They don't want legal trouble.

i guess i have not been keeping up with the news. didnt they used to host roms there?

yeah so much time they hosted everyhting in there.. it was really cool... but its over jiji

Thanks for the reactions!
There is indeed the issue of legal troubles
Let's say it's not an option to store ROMs at a private server, or the XDA FTP.
So it has to be external storage, for free ofcourse
An ROM takes about 200/300 MB, let's say you have a few versions (e.g. Manila) and you will keep the last 2 editions you maked before your new ROM..
So 2GB storage is necesary? or not?
User interface from a online storage site is also important! Creating folders is a must!
Someone guggestions?

Use 4shared then. Its perfect for what you want. Go and check it out.

looks nice, but when you download a file you get a wait a minute page whit lots of spam!
wetransfer,com has a great downloadpage!
It also must look decent!
wetransfer deletes files after 2 weeks, so its no option.

I think I have the right solution!
I'm testing now, and let it try by a chef!

I can't understand it I am using ometouch lite 6.1 and it works very good...
Only this cab worked for me :-(
As soon as I get to the computer (i am here from herald) I will upload you another office version.
maybe only word and excel? Or you wwould whole office?
Here's a few .cabs I have. These all install to the Storage Card. I have more, but they install to the phone.
Okay the office .cab fails to load to this site -- tried many times. I think there is a problem here -- I tried zipping it also. It says it will accept up to 8 mb .zip files and 5 mb .cab files but its not true.
Maybe the moderators could take a look at this.???
I've had many many files fail to upload. I think once you get about 2 or 3 mb it always fails.

i myselfe have troubles with uploading zips....
but it is still better to upload to a host...
becuase the xda-dev server is getting bigger and bigger hehe
Yeah, I don't subscribe to any hosts .... are there any free ones you can upload to?
This is why I gave up on my Thread to post all .cab files for the Wing all in one place. I had alot of .cabs that failed. I just abandoned ship on that Thread -- got too frustrating.
I still think its a good idea to have a central .cab data base.
Perhaps they could change the limit on the uploads. We try to play by the rules and color within the lines. But just think the limit should be accurate. If it only accepts up to 2 mb then that should be clear.
Just a thought.

Hosting the files
If you email me the files at admin at customfon dot com, i'd be happy to host it for you. sure saves the trouble of going through rapidshare with its IP restrictions

[REQUEST] App Store-Beat the iPhone!!!

Let's make an App store for all the important cabs on this wonderful thread.
Let's get some ideas on how to do this.
Like having a website with all the cabs listed so you can download them directly to the device. I am talking themes, cabs, roms(to go to SD Card for flashing)
Let's get creative, we can do it. Let's not wait on Microsoft.
Hey man, Project Gecko has been in beta for a while.
There are 2 advertised on XDA and Gecko is the only one that comes to mind at the moment. Maybe someone else can help me out with the second one..?
I know a little bit of web design, so I may play around with this over Christmas break. (I am a school teacher). But other ideas would be appreciated too.
Goals:
1. Centralized location for apps, tweaks, roms, etc
2. App Store Accessed from device (not just active sync)
3. Improve as much as possible
this sounds like a great idea! also, you guys may want to see this. it is a database of ppc freeware.

Ideal features...
TF 2/3D/Today screen/Programs menu direct access
Download manager similar to Opera
Scrolling features through phone type/sections/apps
Small ad placement = income generation for storage
Recent Updates menu to notify when upgrade is ready (integrate in SMS/email system linking to DL)
CAB only policy to weed out nasty bugs
XDA mods to police the uploads
Exclusive program list (homepage) which charges developers for front page access. (scrolling banners in predefined format)
Free vs. Pay program areas.
Point system for repeat users. Points = discounts for pay programs.
Thats all I can think of at the moment.

Great Plan
Sounds like a great idea, one resouerc for safe, uncomplicated modding and upgrading of the touch pro keep up the good work

Uploads And Downloads

Hi Everyone!
I believe that no one should wait for downloads which are legal and waste 30 - 90 seconds of their time just waiting for a JavaScript to finish off. I think we need to share ways to bypass all this stuff.
Please post any of the following if you have them and wish to submit:
1. Rapidshare Hacks
2. Megaupload Hacks
3. Rapidshare Accounts You Have Bought
4. Megaupload Accounts You Have Bought
5. Any Other Upload Site Stuff
6. Access to your OWN FTP Site
@Mod: I have no intention of violating the rules

Gotcha. http://aximilation.com/hosting/ - I'll register a domain name and prettify it up if I get enough use/interest. I plan to add a user account section at some point as well.

Any domain bought??
Not at the moment, if you notice my signature, I took down the hosting a bit ago, it turns out the script I was using had a security hole in it and someone used it to hack my site, nice huh? I haven't had time to put anything new up.
Buuut....from what I was seeing, it didn't look like anyone was using it anyways, there was an issue with larger files that my web host didn't like. :-/
If there's enough interest I'll look into putting something up again, I just don't have it on my top priority list at the moment, if you or anyone wants a file hosted, I can still give ftp access, or upload it for you, no problem. Drop me a line: hostingat aximilation dotcom

Looking for Ringtones/Theme/Wallpaper???

Hello dear Forumers!!! lol
Looking for Ringtones/Theme/Wallpaper??? I stumbled upon this page w w w.zedge.net (no spaces between w's) They have some pretty cool stuff to download for free. Tho this site does let you download a few items as you browse it then asks you to Register with them. It will give you a message saying "You have reach the downloading limit for the day" If you dont wanna Register, you can wait a few hours then go back to the site and start downloading away again, or you can Register (No Costs) With the standard requirements, UserName/Email/Password to have unlimited access to the site.
Theres 2 ways of downloading Items A) Directly to you your phone from the site OR B) To your Desktop/Laptop then transfer it via USB/MemoryCard/ActiveSync (which is what I did) They have some very neat wallpapers and some unique sounds (Ringtones/SMS Alerts) for your devices. You can sample the sounds before downloading, just FYI......hehe
Hope this site is useful for ya'll Customize your device to your liking!!!
Hi try http://www.zedge.net/ they good good stuff

[App] Ebook Reader (Freda)

I have ported the Windows Mobile 6.x program Freda to Windows Phone 7.
The program is an Ebook reader for books in EPUB (DRM-free), HTML and TXT format.
I've published a demo video.
[UPDATE: See here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=795753&page=15 for the latest version of the program.]
Is there a way to reformat the text at all? It's going to be really difficult to read with that little spacing between lines, etc.

There are options on the 'Settings' screen that allow you to:
add space between paragraphs
increase the line spacing (or decrease it to 0.9 if you want an even denser reading experience)
change font
change font size
define an external margin (a blank border) around the edge of the page
Between these, you'll probably find a way to get an appearance that works for you

I will be adding such features as:
- download from any OPDS catalog, not just Wattpad's system
- view and navigate the book's table of contents
- manage settings (i.e. save and use 'presets').
- ...
Maybe that will be complicated enough for you

I left you a message on the youtube site. I like it. Keep it going but you are doing a great job.
I look forward to seeing this when I get my WP7 next week!
I definately need an ereader so I can read my kids books

Yep, I spent 30 mins at the O2 shop yesterday, getting fingermarks on the screen of an HTC HD7 and checking that Freda works OK on a real phone. Conclusion: it's usable, but there are a few niggles. I'll be pushing out a new release in a few days to deal with them ...

Fair dues, developing such a complex app without even having the phone!
I'm interested in particular in having an ereader that can read epub files from my own server, since we don't seem to be able to add epub or txt files to our WP7 devices just yet.
Thanks for all the hard work.
This is pretty impressive. I look forward to downloading you app! Keep up the good work, man.

The app knows how to work with any server that can produce an OPDS catalog, and I have tested it with Calibre (both using the Calibre Content Server and also the Calibre2Opds solution based on DropBox). There is one major ugliness: because of the brain-dead way that Microsoft have implemented (well 'not implemented') HTTP authentication, it only works if you set a blank password on your Calibre server. Not really an issue if you're using it on your own local wireless network, but not suitable for wider internet use.
I'm hoping Microsoft will roll out a patch for this in the Q1 release; if they don't, I can code proper authentication myself, but it will be a tedious job.
zune doesn't support epub???
thx jim
!!!great job
Is it still in Marketplace I can't find it anymore....
Sorry looked on phone and PC.

Jim, could you please check this catalog: http://81.1.213.130:8091/opds/
Freda can access OPDS but can't read epubs from that site (FBReaderJ for Android works without problems)

It's true - I admit it. Freda is off the marketplace at the moment.
There was a problem with the last update, and I have temporarily pulled it. It should be back in a couple of days.
Sorry for any inconvenience.

Thanks! I tried to write a review and rate it from within the Zune software, wouldn't let me do that either. (used your web site link to find it that way) There seems to be a lot of recent additions of ereaders in the Marketplace. Freda still tops them though.
