So, anyone afraid of dropbox now, lol.

For the average user they can't cause any harm for storing music files or videos to have access to them elsewhere. So no reason for me to stop using it.
I sense lawsuits from somebody.
To add some facts to that: Dropbox already modified these changes, clearifying that those are legal terms they need to technically operate their service.
Read the lower part of this post: thinq.co.uk/2011/7/3/dropbox-terms-service-target-your-stuff/
A Dropbox spokesman:
Some of you have written us with very understandable concerns about the legal-sounding parts. In particular, our new TOS talks about the licenses we need to run Dropbox. We want to be 100% clear that you own what you put in your Dropbox. We don’t own your stuff. And the license you give us is really limited. It only allows us to provide the service to you. Nothing else

However, users should be alarmed.
Yeah, came across this at bleeding cool. Com, from a Greg Rucka twitter (comic book writer), thought there would be some interest here. The main point someone was putting forth is that we are not the customers with dropbox/Facebook etc, we are the Product/Merchandise ...

Shady! I haven't trusted (or used) Facebook for many months now. If you investigate their history it's more than a little sketchy. They don't want your information ... 'just because'.
It's really not that shady; it's just a bunch of legal jargon stemming from outdated laws they have to put into the agreement to protect themselves when storing millions of people's personal file's. Nothing will come of this, because there's no way a lawsuit will be able to get anything out of them
MySpace is the site with all the "weirdo's"..I haven't been there since college..2004 lol

I know its kinda backward, but depending on the size of stuff just email it to yourself. With the size of hotmail and gmail these days a few gigs worth of attachments might just be ok. And if there 'stories', ie your a writer IIRC you've just copyrighted your work by mailing it to yourself (someone might want to clairify or correct that statement, just a thought bouncing around in my poor brain, lol).

Well I have a domain and unlimited space because my e-friend owns a lot of communites and etc so he gave me a box a while ago and I use to run a site off of it but I got bored and lost interest so it died but I want to make something out of it again.
The domain is efrigid.info I don't really know what to make, or what to base the community on I would do phone customization or something along the lines of that but there is already so many communities out for stuff like that.
So please tell me your ideas or suggestions thanks.

You dont want to do something everyone is already doing because then you would have very little traffic. So you want something original to attract large volumes of ppl.

>.< I know that's what I said in the first post I know how to run a website.
people always say google should do this and that have i ideas that that they freely express, want apps to sd tell them i did but i think (iphone people on there are voting it down on how i said it could be accomplished) ,new lay outs the kind of UI you would like to see tell them your ideas only ones you would freely give them to use at least all im saying instead of doing on here u can be saying it directly to them and have people vote on whether they like it or not the more votes the more likely it will be used (need gmail account to login though)

Hello, XDA peeps....
I want to create an app but have no idea how to do so. Could someone help me create one or maybe even they can create one and I'll pay.
Sort of a Database Application that I want created with pictures and stuff.
Could someone help me .... Please?
developer.android.com/resources/index.html
Especially the tutorial-section. Take this, some coffee and some time (and then moar coffee =) ) and you get the knowledge for little money (depending on how much your time is worth and, of course, the coffee price =) )
Also you might find some videos @ youtube about this topic.
Hf =)
Thanks for that information.....looks good but by the time I try to figure out how to make the app I want, Android would a grandfather and have many little droids running around.
I need help....or more to the point I need a Developer....a Super Developer...or even his sidekick will do.
What is the app you're trying to make? Could you be more specific?

I would like to be more specific but can't really. Most I could say is more of a database app. Do you know how to create an app?
WOW....i was really hoping to find some developers....but a ghost town is more alive....
I don't think anyone is going to get excited about writing you a database app, whatever you might mean by that.. android uses sqlite databases so its kind of already there. It seems that your options are to spill some details and get us interested, or do it yourself.

I bought ROM manager premium through the paypal link in the app. Now that i've moved back to the N1 from the NS (i bought it when i was on the NS), i don't see any way to activate premium features without paying again. am i missing something?

I'm not a Twitter pro or anything... but I think as long as you preface your tweet by @koush, he'll see your message and will probably respond. He's a good guy and won't screw you over...so just get in touch with him.
ok thanks guys just did it. hope it works.
Does the rom transfer between phones? Just asking--
Can you copy your TB backup or whole sd card from the s to n sd card so the n sees those apps and knows you have rom mgr

You can probably also get his email by clicking on 'Send email to the developer'.
Actually, just checked, you don't even have to click on it. His email is right there on the page.
You know every app on the Market has the developer's email, right?

yeah i knew about that, but i'm still getting used to the new market layout (that, and a brain fart). I tried the website but it looks like it's no longer up. thanks again everyone!
Now i feel really dumb, esp. since i've gotten help from other app devs the same way in the past.
Sorry, I just re-read my message and it sounds kind of snarky. Don't feel bad for forgetting about that, everyone has brain farts.

thanks for the apology, but i didn't take it that way.
Honestly, after seeing your response the first time, I just felt so dumb. I didn't get the app from the market, but I should've known to check there anyway.
dude doesn't respond to tweets or emails. Starting to piss me off.
if i would have known trying to save 1 dollar was gonna cause me this much headache.....
join the crowd
never got a response
now use amon_ra
I have the exact same problem. I tried to contact him by email but he does not reply. Will try to contact him via Twitter.
It really pisses me off.
Just wanted to see if this got rectified? I recently did the reverse of the OP. Switched from the Nexus One up to the Nexus S. Premium isn't showing up on the NS.
nope. I just won't support the dev anymore. if one really wants to pay for this app, go thru the market. the dollar isn't worth the headache.
also waiting for response
i also buyed via Paypal cause i dont have a credit card (Market only accept Credit-card)
i changed rom and cannot activat premium features
will try to get money back from paypal (45days!)
hope he will response in next few days
greetings
If it were me, I would find alternative means of getting the software. You already paid for the license. If the dev don't wanna support his own product, either don't use it, or find another place to download it. There are many places to obtain android apps.
I don't like spreading this because I support the developers and truly appreciate the work they do. But I also don't like to see ppl cheated out of their money whether it was intentional or not. I'll tell you how to get that app from the market without paying. Just shoot me a pm.

I am another person who bought via PayPal, thinking it would save me $1 and put more $ in the developers pocket rather than the Android market taking it. I originally purchased it back in January 2011 and now cannot get my new device to show that it is the premium version without purchasing on the Android Market... Did anyone find a solution to this or get a reply from Koush?
Every time I visit another website, and then come back to XDA (yes I do close out that window before coming back to XDA), I see an advertisement for that website on XDA ? (or should I say, products advertised on that website)
Well, not every time, but .................
Happens to me too... I see mostly photo lens ads xD

I am pretty sure that will happen on any side you visit...thats how add revenue is so popular
Is there a setting you can adjust under Internet options to minimize this ?
Also, according to "Hotmail," if you close out the previous web-page, that's supposed to prevent this.
There is a way indeed... It's called ad-block and cookies clear on browser exit

I'll give it a try, with reservations. Hope it doesn't turn out to be one of these: http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2011/01/winsoftware.shtm
Why does it even matter? I personally never even pay attention to any of the ads.

Takes longer to load pages on sites that run many ads.
OK, I just made a post in the off topic photo thread about the Panasonic Lumix ZR3, and now I'm seeing ads for the ZR3 on XDA!!!!
I've read an entire book on XP pro from cover to cover, owned 6 laptops, understand the in's and out's of converting and burning video's/CD's.
But would somebody please explain to me what's going on here ? And/or refer me to some appropriate tutorials.
Thank you
They know everything about us lol

Ah ha, the tip of the iceberg.............
Yup, XDA hasn't invented some awesome method, it's just the standard ad technology from the provider (doubleclick or dart iirc)
There's an opt-out on the ad network's site, to disable the tracking.
Is it a perk of being a recognised dev that I never see ads? I recently saw the site when I wasn't logged in and was like whaaaaaa?

It is. I thought that you would have had to actually go in and enable it yourself but maybe they do it for you automatically. To answer your question though, Yes.
But shhhhh..... That might be a secret

I need to know which adverts it is you're seeing that are using this...
If you hover over them, try and get the domain name of it. If it's a google/doubleclick one, head to http://www.google.co.uk/privacy/ads/ for information about this. That's the google UK link, but there will be a suitable one for your region too (and I think it's a generic thing anyway)
Arent they called ad sense or something like that?
