A Note From Your Moderators

Hi everyone, on behalf of reinbeau, reaper24 and I, we just wanted to let you know that if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to PM any one of us.
Please also be aware of the following rules and that they not just apply to the Android Themes forum but throughout XDA. All rules here are of equal importance but the ones highlighted in red, I believe, will clarify any misunderstanding as it pertains to the posts and development in this particular forum.
Thank you.
FORUM RULES​
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.
2. Member conduct.
2.1 Language: XDA is a worldwide community. As a result what is ‘ok’ to say in your part of the world may not be ok in someone else’s part of the world. Please think about who is reading what you write. Keep in mind that what you think of as acceptable use of language may not be acceptable to others. Conversely, while reading member posts, remember that word you find offensive may not be to the writer. Tolerance is a two way street.
2.2 Nudity: XDA is used by people of all ages, including minors. It's not acceptable to post nude/pornographic imagery, which includes exposure of the male or female genitalia or of female breasts.
2.3 Flaming: XDA was founded as a group of people sharing information about certain mobile phones. Sharing does not involve virtual yelling (flaming) it does involve working together to solve problems in an environment of mutual respect and understanding. Losing your temper and flaming another member, or group of members, is not acceptable behavior.
2.4 Personal attacks, racial, political and/or religious discussions: XDA is a discussion forum about certain mobile phones. Mobile phones are not racial, political, religious or personally offensive, therefore none of these types of discussions are permitted on XDA.
2.5 Courtesy towards other Members: Treat new members the way you would like to have been treated when you were a new member. When dealing with any member, provide them with guidance, advice and instruction when you can and always with respect and courtesy. Never post in a demanding, argumentative, disrespectful or self-righteous manner.
2.6 All members are expected to read and adhere to the XDA rules.
3. Post only using a clear subject and message.
You're most likely to receive a helpful answer to your question if you use a short subject title that describes your problem and a message that explains in detail what your problem is and what you've tried to solve it.
4. Use the English language.
We understand that with all the different nationalities not everyone speaks English well, but please try. If you're really unable to post in English use an online translator, You're free to include your original message in your own language below the English translation.
5. Post a message only once.
As a large forum we don't need unnecessary clutter, You're free to edit your message as you like, so if you do not receive an answer revisit your message and see if you can describe your problem better. Not everyone is online at the same time, it might take a while before you receive an answer.
6. Do not post warez.
If a piece of software requires you to pay to use it, either pay or find your cracks and serials somewhere else. We do not accept warez nor do we permit any member to promote or describe ways in which Warez, cracks, serial codes or other means of avoiding payment, can be obtained.
7. Do not spam.
If you wish to advertise a product, contact us we provide ads. But do not post it in the forums, it will be removed and you're likely to receive a ban.
You are however allowed to sell used goods like your own device, parts of your device or accessories for your device in the marketplace forum, please read the rules there before posting. (This rule includes signatures, if you use a signature it will appear in your post)
8. Donations.
We appreciate all donations to xda-developers.com, it keeps our forum online and well maintained. As a user you're allowed to ask for donations in your signature as a thank you for your hard work. However donations up front are not allowed, this forum is about sharing, not about getting paid to do something, that's what your job is for.
9. Don't get us in trouble.
Don't post copyrighted materials or do other things that will obviously lead to legal trouble. If you wouldn't do it on your own homepage, you probably don't want to do it here either. This does not mean we agree with everything the software piracy lobby try to impose on us, it simply means you cannot break any laws here, since we'll end up dealing with legal hassle caused by you. Please use common sense: respect the forum, its users, and those that write great code.
10. Help others if you can.
If you see posts from others where you can help out, please do. This place exists because people are helping each other, and even if you are relatively new to the matter, there's probably already quite a few people newer than you that would benefit from what you've learned. Don't be shy.
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.)
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.
13. Advertising and Income Generation
Commercial advertising, advertising referral links, pay per click links and other income generating methods are forbidden. Do not use xda-developers as a means to make money.
14. Create only one User Account
You are allowed one User Account at xda-developers. If you create additional accounts, Moderators will disable them and your original account may also be disabled or infracted.
15. Keep posts/threads on-topic
Whilst a minor amount of off-topic posting may be overlooked, the general rule is your posts / threads must be relevant to the Forum / thread in which you are posting.
Marketplace RULES / Guidance
Read before posting!
(Updated October 5th 2011)
The Legal Stuff
1
The XDA-Developers.com Marketplace, also known as MP, is provided free to members with at least 50 posts and one year of XDA membership.. XDA-Developers.com, its moderators, administrators, owners, legal advisors and all other related parties do not warrant, guarantee or endorse any item offered for sale or trade on this forum.
SIMPLE ENGLISH: Trade at your own Risk. XDA-Developers is not and will not get involved in transactions whatsoever.
2
The MP is for use by private parties only, do not post commercial links (SPAM) or links to private sales taking place on other sites ie: eBay, Craigsist, etc. The MP is intended for the sale of your personal phones and/or accessories. It is not intended as a sales platform for operating a business.
SIMPLE ENGLISH: No Business links allowed. No off-site sales allowed. Personal use only
3
All transactions must take place in the public forum; use of the Private Message (PM) system to buy/sell/trade is against MP rules. Use of the PM system to convey private information, shipping address and payment details is acceptable.
SIMPLE ENGLISH: If you trade by PM how do you know the person you are buying from isn't selling the same item to 10 people? Keep all deals in the open.
4
a. XDA-Developers allows the following items to be offered for Sale/Trade:
Mobile Phones including Tablet devices and directly related Accessories ONLY.
b. we do not allow items to be offered for Sale/Trade that are stolen, thought to be stolen, or of questionable history. For the avoidance of doubt, phones with a "bad ESN" or which are network barred are NOT permitted to be on the marketplace.
SIMPLE ENGLISH: Don't sell anything but phones / accessories and ensure they are not stolen.
5
Do not send money by any means that you cannot track or recover. Sending money via Western Union is a known scamming method and although it may be necessary due to country restrictions it is not recommended.
a. XDA-Developers recommends the use of PayPal® or another secure method of transferring money.
b. XDA-Developers is not responsible for transactions gone "bad". It is YOUR responsibility to know with whom you are dealing, and YOU assume all responsibility for the transaction.
In addition, the use of PayPal gift payments is not permitted on deals conducted on XDA. Specifically relevant to sellers, but applicable to everyone in general, you must not request any additional payment to cover PayPal fees. Doing either of the above is in breach of the PayPal terms and conditions.
SIMPLE ENGLISH: Use PayPal® whenever possible. You are responsible for your own actions.
Do not use PayPal gift payments, as these offer no protection. Do not ask the buyer to cover PayPal fees.
6
By posting on the MP you agree that you have read, understand and will abide by these rules.
7
a. You may sell 5 devices per month maximum (each device must be in a new thread).
b. All current registered members will be able to use the marketplace regardless of tenure on the site or number of posts. New members will NOT be able to use the marketplace until they accrue 50 posts and one year of XDA membership.
c. If you are selling or offering to trade, you must take a photo of the phone with XDA as a backdrop on your screen with your username clearly showing
d. If you are selling, you may only sell an absolutely maximum of five devices per month, and each listing must be contained with its own thread.
For advice on avoiding scams, you may wish to refer to the text below, and these threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=714435 by MikeChannon
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1271745 by Kareem,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1100447 by Greenstuffs,
Some informal advice on trading for avoiding scams
1.
Ensure member has made useful contributions to the site. Useful contributions tend to show a genuine person who uses XDA legitimately and values their account here and looks after it. If someone has only ever really posted in the MP, they have little track record on the site.
Tl;dr- Do background checks. Consider their reason for being a member of XDA. Are they a good all-round member?
2.
If you are given an external feedback system link to vouch for a member, ensure that it is the same person. Contact them using the external system and ask them to confirm they are arranging a deal with yourself on XDA. If not, steer well clear.
Tl;dr- I can give you the president's feedback link on heatwave or eBay. But it doesn't make it mine. Anyone can give a link - check it out.
3.
Ensure sufficient feedback. If someone bought a phone case and battery on XDA, or indeed another feedback giving system, consider the value of these items compared to that in your prospective deal. People have been known to get positive feedback on auction sites by buying loads of 1 cent items. Also ensure there is feedback on them as a seller, in addition to as a buyer.
Tl;dr- Is the feedback relevant over time, for sensible items? Is the value in the range you are dealing with? Does the feedback cover selling and buying?
4.
Is the person easy to deal with? Are they easy to contact before agreeing on the deal? If not, you can bet they will be even less reachable if something goes wrong. If there is a language barrier, could that prove problematic if something went wrong?
5.
Only ship to the verified PayPal address. If you get given a P.O. box address or non standard address, remember that you don't have any idea who you are dealing with. If an address is PayPal verified, it means they receive their credit card bill at the address shown. And proof of address is required to open a credit card.
6.
Use your common sense. If someone is selling something that is going on ebay in similar condition for more, consider why they are doing this, when ebay would give them more money.

The Final American Revolution. 4th of July

When a government has repeatedly and deliberately failed to follow its own laws, violated the fundamental human rights of its citizens, threatened the sanctity of a free press, created institutions intended to eliminate privacy of communication, waged war at the behest of special interests that threatens the public safety, killed hundreds of children with drone strikes, imprisoned and destroyed the lives of countless individuals for victimless crimes, stifled economic opportunity to maintain the dominance of the financial elite, stolen from the people through an absurd system of taxation and inflation, sold future generations into debt slavery, and abused its power to suppress political opposition, it is unfit to exist and it becomes the duty of the people to alter or abolish that government by whatever means necessary to secure liberty and ensure peace. A new American revolution is long overdue. This revolution has been brewing in the hearts and minds of the people for many years, but this Independence Day, it shall take a new form as the American Revolutionary Army will march on each state capital to demand that the governors of these 50 states immediately initiate the process of an orderly dissolution of the federal government through secession and reclamation of federally held property. Should one whole year pass from this July 4th while the crimes of this government are allowed to continue, we may have passed the point at which non-violent revolution becomes impossible. The time to sit idly by has passed, to remain neutral is to be complicit, just doing your job is not an excuse, and the line in the sand has been drawn between we the people, and the criminals in Washington, DC. While some timid souls will say that it is too early, that we can solve this problem through democratic means provided by government, that current levels of taxation are reasonable for the services provided, and that the crimes of this government are merely a tolerable nuisance; it may already be too late. While there is risk in drastic action, the greater danger lies in allowing this government to continue unchallenged. So if you are content with the status quo, stay home, get fat, watch the fireworks from a safe distance, and allow this Independence Day to pass like any other. But if you see as we see, and feel as we feel, we will see you on the front lines of freedom on July 4th 2013 for this: The Final American Revolution.

tl;dr
Sent from my Katana

While I agree with much of what you've posted, wouldn't dissolution of the federal government remove the last remianing bulkheads of federal regulation against the greater danger of corporate abuses, thus ushering in the new era of unabated corporotocratic despotry?
That's why I never cared for Ron Paul, as many good points as he made. I always figured behind the well-meaning facade he was just another corporate stooge.

Sorry I presume political discussions or debates based on it are not allowed on XDA.
Advanced Happy Independence Day U.S.A !!

Political discussions, no matter how well meaning, should be avoided on xda -they are expressly against the rules: 2.4 Personal attacks, racial, political and/or religious discussions: XDA is a discussion forum about certain mobile phones. Mobile phones are not racial, political, religious or personally offensive, therefore none of these types of discussions are permitted on XDA.
Sorry...but thread closed.

Thank you for registering to assist FONU2 with our Beta Testing. In the past couple of weeks we have experienced some delays and have pushed back the start of our Beta Test. We are now working through a few remaining technical issues and are preparing to open up our testing to a wider audience.
We anticipate we will begin our Beta Test in the 2nd week of January 2014.
We will send out a few communications as that date approaches to keep you informed on our progress. When we kick-off the Beta Test phase you will receive an invitation to join the FONU2 Beta Test. At that point, you will also receive instructions on how to open an account, participate in our beta test and report bugs, issues and concerns.

Received this today... Getting Closer
Beta Testing Team
This is a quick update to the last communication on December 30th 2013.
On January 2nd, the FONU2 internal development team began it's Alpha Test, where we exercised the core functionality of the system using our own internal staff. We encountered an expected number of defects (bugs) and we received a number of improvement suggestions which we are in the process of implementing. We expect that by the end of the week we will have 90% defects corrected and enhancements implemented. At that point we will commence with our Beta Test.
Our Beta Test will be run in phases. We will invite a limited number of Beta Testers on day 1, and we will invite additional testers every few days until we exhaust our supply of testers.
Please look for your email invitation to our Beta Test site towards the end of the week. You will be receiving a link to our Beta Test site, as well as detailed documentation on testing procedures, instructions for reporting defects, submitting enhancement ideas etc.
Please remember that the web-site is still under construction and will have an unpolished look and feel. In addition, it is expected that you will encounter a few bugs and functionality that may be working incorrectly. We are counting on your assistance to help us identify all of these defects and your improvement suggestions to make our web-site work flawlessly.
Please note that the Beta Testing site is only accessable by registered Beta Testers. If you send a link to friends, they will not be able to enter the site. If you wish to invite friends to FONU2 they must register as a Beta Tester on our web-site (https://fonu2.com/register/register.html)
Thanks

Got this today....
Dear Beta Testers
Congratulations on being selected as a Beta Tester for the 2nd Wave of Beta Testing. I would like to thank you in advance on behalf of FONU2 Management and Stakeholders.
We are proud to present the first functional areas of the application and we look forward to launching our social commerce platform as soon as it is confirmed by our team of Beta Tester.
Please review the attached document, which is an instructional document that will guide you through the Beta Test. I would recommend printing a copy and using it as a reference guide.
The document contains a list of areas within the application which will include screenshots and grids that represents the area being tested, the action which needs to be taken and the expected result of that action. As a tester of the application it’s first important to understand what the area is supposed to do and what it’s not supposed to do. Please keep in mind that we are still developing the application and there may be certain areas which have not been completed. The point of the test is review what has been built with the understanding that our Product Development team is already aware of what needs to be completed.
As you navigate through the system we ask that you pay close attention the following areas:
Usability: How does the system feel, is it performing properly, if not then we will have an area where you can place notes on how you think we should improve it.
User Interface Appearance: Is the system “Easy on the Eyes”, in other words, is it in line with what many of the popular systems of today represent, and in contrast, are there areas which you feel are innovative.
Business Logic: Please pay close attention to the business logic for the actual transactions, and as a user please provide your input on whether or not the system provides you with the workflow to complete your transaction effectively.
Please send documentation of all bugs and improvement recommendations to [email protected]
Remember:
We are still under development, and we currently have a number of known bugs that we are working on. In addition, you will notice that the site has a dull and unpolished appearance as we have been focusing on developing the core functionality. We will improving the appearance of the site dramatically over the next couple of weeks.
Thanks You and Good Luck
Roger

Massive corporate databases become government tools of surveillance

The number of data requests the US government sent to Google has increased 510% since 2010. US government requests to Facebook have also increased 364% since the beginning of 2013. The databases of private companies are increasingly being used to monitor individuals with little transparency into the process.
In 2013, when Edward Snowden revealed the National Security Agency was conducting dragnet, mass surveillance, he forced the public to refocus on how to protect the right to privacy. These revelations inspired the founders of ProtonMail to begin thinking about how people could privately communicate with each other.

Two years later, the situation has not changed much. The only thing is user-awareness has now increased. People across the world are now awakening to the dangers of using social media apps which spy and collect our data and sell it off to the business houses.
