Planning on Making an Android site - Off-topic

Hey guys,
Well I am planning on making a site for Android, and i need some help.
First thing I need help with finding a domain. For some reason most domains that I've tried are already taken.
So i need someone more creative than me.
The site will have news and reviews of android and android devices.
Thats all i've thought of right now.
The domain has to be a .com , and maybe have "android" somewhere in there .. ?
So help here

any help ?

Well. there is a reason for that ... and its that there is already a million stupid ass android review websites..
no offense intended ... but really ? why do you want to make this site? are you going to be footing the entire bill in terms of server space/ maintenance ?
While i do wish you luck in your endeavour.... Unless you have somthing really unique to offer , you website will become another speck on a already huge pile..
And you are already on one of the best resources for android reviews
just my thoughts on it ...
Good luck Yo!

I know, but it will hopefully offer something unique.
and remember this. When facebook started myspace had millions of members. If facebook founders had thought like you, then there would be no facebook. But hey facebook is now leading in social networking.
So XDA, I respect it a lot, and will always do, but if no one comes up with competition us (consumers, guests, viewers) won't get better content
Anyways, I am sure this wasn't the point of the thread here x.x

Website Thoughts

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.

One thing I want to do is in my forum have a developers section. Each dev can have there own section of the forum as a moderator. something like this:
Devlepoers:
____Dev1
________Version 1 app
________Version 2 app
____Dev2
____Dev3
That way, if you like a dev who doesn't have a site, you can just jump on the forum and go to the dev section and see everything they have created. Little better then sifting threw tons of pages looking for the newest ver of something, or maybe just want to see what else they have developed.
it also has a one spot access for devs to see what other dev have made and maybe incorporate into a rom ect.

Get 10 posts. Gives you access to being able to post in the development/phone specific sub forums. It also gives you access to have signatures, post in the marketplace (where you sell phone and phone related things), post outside links, etc. Also, you may want to avoid this specific sub forum or just mainly DanWilson. He's dangerous and may get you banned/hack you. Also, people like it when you use the search feature at the top of the page instead of just posting in a sub forum. I'm not really against or for this. But many people get (VERY) angry. Sheesh. Have fun, and enjoy.
Yes I'm feeling helpful today OT.
How many post u need to allow new users to add links because i want to post a thread about fixing my phone and to explain carefully i need to add links? Im just asking.
10 posts should get you the ability for external links if i am correct.
Thank u this post will just get me to 11 post so it would be enough thnx

Well, you'd wanna use some lube if it is your first time, because going bareback might hurt a little for both parties.
You'd also wanna ease it in a little before going full force.
I'd give you more advice but I see PDL here and he's probably more experienced, what with his marriage to Dan and all that.
Don't use this site. You're gonna brick your nice new phone, and by the time you get it to work again, a newer, better phone will have come out. Forget this site, go look at porn insread.

[Q] Need advice for a skydiving video competition

Hey there guys,
I need some advice in a personal issue! i did skydiving a few months ago and now i am participating in a video contest on youtube! the thing is, the guy who gets the most views wins a sponsorin for a full license!
I gained almost 2000 views yet, but that is not enough to win the competition!
so, the question is: do you guys know some methods, to increase the views in youtube in an efficient way?
the problem is that the video is not uploaded in my channel, so i cant do video-responses, modify tags or the title in "lady gaga naked" or something like that ! not that this would grab MY attention!
I´m not thinking about DDOS or somethin illegal!
Do you have some advice in this case?
The link is listed below. If you klick it without knowing any advice it´ll help me either !

thanks a lot for your help! and sorry about my bad english !
Greetings,

Evryone loves skydiving. Just post up the link in as many places as possible and let the fates decide!
Watching the video the instructor makes me laugh. He looks like he's in his element hurtling toward the ground at 120mph. Crazy!
How did it feel dude?

TL;DR
1. Either have somebody crash to their death or crash on someone to their (possibly mutual) death.
2. COSPLAY!
3. NAKED! <- might chaff
4. Weird landing targets! Like a giant pair of bewbs.
5. Skydive into the snowy mountains, snowboard down and cause an avalanche!
Tape it on you iPhone 4S with a crash landing.... if you get what I mean
+1 on Naked though
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
pulling the chute pin oh about 100 feet before landing might do it! nah.. just kidding. If you want to get many views post as much as you can in as many places possible. I was thinking you know facebook is one good place. a friend of a friend and before u know it it's viral!

Just wanted to do a tribute to fOmey, and all the good he has done here.
I know many are pissed about his decision to leave, but I totally understand why he left, and don't blame him one bit. (I know how it is from other projects I have worked on in the past). It takes alot out of you.
I know my gear would never be what it is today with out fOmey.
You have forever changed my Gear.
Thanks for all you have done of us all here. Our lives have been forever changed.
Good luck in the future. We enjoyed every min of your time with us.
Respect to you my friend!
:good:

Hopefully he goes private! I would be happy to pay for support and updates! Thanks for your hard work f0mey!
Emitted from my Note 3 and its sidekick Gear.
I will forever be grateful. If not for fOmey I would have $300 of regret adorning my wrist.
I too hope he goes private I will support for updates :fingers-crossed:.. @fOmey is still the man!!!!:good:
Good luck to you and thank you for all you have done.
Fomey you are the best wish I would have donated I agree only people who can read should use custom roms I found it annoying to read the same questions over and over again. I too hope you go private or make a comeback.

I was about to post this to the other thread, but that just closed so I'll say it here instead:
fOmey,
No matter what went down and no matter where your head is at at the moment, all I'll say is this: your work is awesome.
The bottom line is...what you have done for the gear...no one has done for the gear...and its not even close by a long shot. Which yeah, is really saying something because despite the occasional moron or 3, there are obviously some pretty damned amazing people here contributing to this community.
In my mind if this turns into nothing more than a donation thread for the remaining reslistically useful life span of the gear, be it 6 months or 66 months, then f0mey, you've earned it. Well anyway, here's mine:

Made back on November 11th, it's my first donation and definitely will not be my last.
One more time for emphasis - Thanks for all you've done!

I remember reading not too long ago that you were in between jobs, so let me suggest that one of the first things you do at that site is to make it easy to donate to you in support of your work.
I always thought it was pretty cool that this guy basically made a career of being unemployed:
http://www.oddtodd.com/
(Well at least he started out that way)
Whether its through donations or something else or both, that would be great if in the end somehow you were able to make a decent living doing what you appear to really enjoy doing..that is, cranking out terrific roms for the gear.

F0mey stop having a tantrum, this site is the place to carry on with your Rom not a private site of your own, at least here there is no chance of dodgy software and no not referring to yours however its better to keep all roms on XDA because unscrupulous software writers could do so much damage with spyware and stealing passwords, if a writer did this here they are shutdown right away, on a private site they just keep pumping out dangerous software.
Not everyone is an expert and even myself when I first installed the Rom struggled with the instructions and setout, it can be something as simple as a misdirected direction in flashing for me now I have flashed 100s of times if not 1000s from my S1, S2, S3, S4 you need to take a leaf out of the other designers book on here and cut the sarcasm, if you dont want to respond let someone else do it for you, this site is about sharing ideas and developing software, and of course a bit of coin in the pocket for the developers who are any good.
Good luck with the future ps I have just come back from 3 weeks in Brisbane and intend to go back to WA next year
Sadly it has happened before, with capable devs leaving xda and setting up their own websites.
It just takes a couple of really nasty people to upset the peace of mind of a dev. In Pauly's case an extremely talented mind. They in no way represent the majority of people on here.
I have now bookmarked his new site and will continue to follow him. If I was Samsung I would hire him immediately (take notice Samsung).
For those who caused this upset, and unrepentantly insist that they were right - shame on you, you have spoilt things for many xda followers.
Thanks Pauly
Cheers

Tantrum ? Psh, Im not expecting everyone to be experts.. Although I do expect them to read, especially if I spoon feed the information to them on the original post.
Its easy to stand on the side lines and say "whats the big deal, who cares if people ask for help".. you try reading through all those pages every morning just because someone is to lazy to read the original post of a thread. 60% of the pages in that thread were about bull**** "bugs" which were reported over & over & over again.. Eg. "bluetooth tethering doesnt work".
Whats the point of a development thread if there is no development talk going on ? You dont need to read it, the next guy doesnt either.. although its my job to, I have to verify theirs no bugs on the rom, I have to keep track of the thread.
I refuse to do it anymore, if people cant follow some simple requests I made.. why should I care ? I'm sorry others have to suffer, There are some great supporters & users out there.
It is what it is I will continue to develop, I will continue to support. At least this way I can manage the content.
