Since we have had to close/remove a few threads so far, I want to take a moment to review the policies in place for the Paid Apps section of XDA.
As mentioned by Svetius in his welcome thread, you must be a productive and contributing member in order to list your application(s) here. The exact quote:
This is not a marketplace. No buying or selling will happen here. If you are a developer, please provide links to your for-pay products. If you are a user, feel free to respectfully provide feedback to developers.
Because we don't want this to be haven for outside firms trying to use this forum as a sales tool, we will require that any developer posting here have a history of providing value to the community, either through free software, assistance/help to users, or other contribution.

Two other important notes:
You may NOT post paid themes or ROMs. Applications ONLY.
If you did not personally develop the application, do NOT post it here.
Please remember that simply being a longtime member does not entitle you to use of this forum. You must be a member in good standing, with a documented history of good behavior and forum participation. Generally speaking, members with 100+ posts AND a positive history will qualify you for offering paid applications. This is not set in stone, and can change depending on each unique situation, so do not hesitate to contact any Senior Moderator if you have questions on this.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

In addition see here Guide to Paid Work on XDA
**Update 13 Feb**
We are seeing an influx of new members posting paid apps and games in this section. It was clearly outlined above that ONLY members with a history of contributing to XDA Developers will be permitted to sell their applications here. No more warnings will be issued, your thread will simply be deleted.
Bump for a reminder.

If you created a thread here, or if you had a thread in another section that promoted a paid application, and you can no longer find it, this is why.
Annual bump for reminding members of the requirements.

Rules For Devs</B>
You must only post beta, or completed APP releases. Projects and pre-beta releases should stay in the Software Development section so you can get input and help in the development process. When you have a beta, PM me and I will gladly move it here for you.
If you are planning to release your app as a paid app, there is a paid app section here.
You cannot post here if you have the intent to get more downloads, trying to advertise your app, or just to get publicity. IE, a corporation owned app that trolls forums like these just to gain more DL's, or a person that has no intent on using this forum to better their app(Just posting then leaving).
When you release you MUST follow the APP release template below to help users easily know what your app does, how it functions.
If you have any concern please, feel free to PM me any time. Please use the report button as well as I can instantly nuke any issues.
Any other XDA rules apply, such as with piracy, and such.

Rules for Non Devs</B>
You must not post a thread in this forum this is for app releases ONLY!, WP7 General is more suited for you.
When posting in a APP release thread, please don't fill the thread with "Thank You" posts and other nonsense. The occasional thank you post is fine, but if that is most of the posts in the thread, it is not allowed. Provide useful feedback towards the app or game to help the dev improve his app. It is at the dev's discretion so if I am requested to remove posts because they are useless or provide no feedback, I will have to if the request is true.
Please don't post requests or ideas in here, once again, this is for app releases ONLY! There is a thread in SW development that is specifically for that, and it is there for devs to get ideas.
Any thread that is not an app release, will be closed with out warning, there are Rules Stickied for a reason!
App Release Template - DEVs ONLY
Template for Posting APP Releases
Anything in red you have to have in your app release thread!
Turquoise is for optional and additional information.
Thread title:
[APP] {App Title goes here} -[R]- {Date posted} -- {Date Updated} -[V]- {Current Version}{If it is BETA please put BETA here}
R = Released, U = Updated, V = VersionThread post:
Name:{APP Name}:
{APP Description & relevant info}
{Images of app}
Source:(of app) You must list a source creator, even if you are reposting this from another place and you are the creator you must post a source, and if this is the source of the app link this thread.
Download Link:(If this is a place holder just say "Download link coming soon".)
NOTE: If your app is in XAP form, please make a big note when near the download link that it would have to be sideloaded or what ever different method appears to install XAPs.
DEVELOPERS WITH PAID APPS WITH TRIALS! - Please read this!
In the next few days, I will be moving your threads to the paid apps section. The reasoning is that apps and games sections are supposed to only have free apps, there is a designated paid app announcement section. This is not intended to rule certain devs out or scare devs into making free apps, its just for organizational purposes. The paid app section is only restricted to true developers, IE not companies just trying to make a buck, or someone just out for the money. The section there so devs can release their apps that cost money and cannot give their apps away for free.
So if your thread gets moved with in the next few days or hours or weeks, you will know why.
PS, if anyone would like to maintain a list of app releases of paid apps that can be found in the Paid Apps section, by all means go ahead , I will sticky it.
To help keep this forum section tidy and easy to use, here are some rules and guidelines.
Only the following topics are allowed in the DEVELOPMENT area:
[DEV] - Development for any projects or Apps.
[ROM] - Custom ROMs.
[KERNEL] - Custom Kernels.
[MOD] - Hack & Modifications for the phone. (See below for more details)
[FIX] - Fixes for known issues & bugs.
Note: If you are unsure where your new topic should go, then please post it in General unless it is a question it then belongs in Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting.
For more information on the Original Android Development section check out this portal post
All kinds of Best Rom/Kernel/etc threads are unwelcome, read, research and make your own mind up, as the question is very subjective.
Please Include Screen Shots for ROM / MOD / THEME / Apps & Games, when possible as it's expected by our members.
[MOD]'s that are primarily theming related or simply adjust stock application or framework functionality or behavior belong in the themes and apps section rather than the development section.
Unmodified Stock ROM and Source Codes does not count as a DEVELOPMENT project unless it's part of an active project you have already started, and so should be posted in the general section.
Placeholder threads posted in the development section will be removed or moved.
Howto's and Guides should be posted in the general section.
Password must be provided for all password protected files.
Direct download links preferred, due to stipulations stated in forum rule #11
11. Don’t post with the intention of selling something.
Don’t use XDA to advertise your product or service. Proprietors of for-pay products or services, may use XDA to get feedback, provide beta access, or a free version of their product for XDA users and offer support, but not to post with the intention of selling. This includes promoting sites similar/substantially similar to XDA-Developers.com.
Do not post press releases, announcements, links to trial software, or commercial services. unless you’re posting an exclusive release for XDA-Developers.com.
Encouraging members to participate in forum activities on other phone related sites is prohibited.
Off-site downloads are permitted if the site is non-commercial and does not require registration.
Off-site downloads from sites requiring registration are NOT encouraged but may be permitted if the following conditions are met:
A) the site belongs to a member of XDA-Developers with at least 1500 posts and 2 years membership who actively maintains XDA-Developers' support thread(s) / posts, related to the download,
B) the site is a relatively small personal website without commercial advertising/links (i.e. not a competitor forum-based site with purposes and aims similar to those of XDA-Developers.com.)

Extra emphasis on rule #12
12. Using the work of others.
If you are developing something that is based on the work of another Member, you MUST first seek their permission, and you must give credit to the member whose work you used. If a dispute occurs about who developed / created a piece of work, first try to settle the matter by private message and NOT in open forum. If this fails then you may contact a moderator with clear evidence that the work was created by you.
Convincing evidence will result in copied work being removed. If there is no clear evidence you created the work then in the spirit of sharing all work will remain posted on the forums.
These rules apply to all software posted on XDA unless that software comes with a license that waives these rules.

Please keep all non Development relevant chatter out of development threads, It is recommended to make a separate thread in the Q&A section for non Development related comments and questions, valid replies within a development thread are: BUG Reports, Problem, Troubleshooting Steps & Logs.
... and Please! keep all your personal bickering via PMs, do not pollute the forum with your personal indifferences.
If you have a problem with a specific member please contact the Moderators for help, that's what we're here for, but we are not babysitters, we are here to gather, organize and provide useful information for our over priced phones
...for additional details please read the full Forum Rules
Thank you for your cooperation.
Thank you to veyka for the post
Mod Edit: This is not a welcome issue on XDA. Promoting alternative forums is not allowed. And that particular one promotes warez and Non GPL compliant Roms.
Please keep talk of it off XDA.
Thread closed by @Darth
Mod Edit:
Bypassing payment for themes is considered warez and this is prohibited on XDA. Thread closed.
