[Q] Publish fan made app without getting removed? - App Stores

I have made a pokemon app. Since there are other fan made pokemon apps, I thought ti would be ok to make one myself. I made a type match up app that shows the weaknesses and resistances of pokemon types, mono and dual type. The first time I published it this happened:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So it was a spam thing in the title or description. I read what they told me to read, and a little while I can to the conclusion that the description had to many repetitive words. OK no big deal, at least it wasn't because of copyright. I decided to change the title too. From Pokemon Type Match Up to Pokemon Competitive Utilities to make it more accurate since I plan on adding more features to it. I edited the description to match what I thought Google Play wanted bases on what I read. But this time I forgot to add a disclaimer which might or might not had cause what I'm going to explain next. So I published my app again thinking everything was going to be OK, then this happened:
OK, so It is not longer a spam issue and now a copyright one? I didn't understand what to do so I filed a appeal and said this:
and got this in reply:
Was this because I forgot a disclaimer? I don't know. This emails are too vague for me. I read the Content Policy again that related to my issue, and I still don't know how to write a description that doesn't break any policy. I would post the descriptions, but since the app is suspended, I can't access them.
Maybe it was also my icon and graphic image. Here they are:
This is my question to developers who have successfully published a fan made app: How did you do it? Feel free to ask questions. I really want this app published.

Not Another Wiki

Well, after looking for an not finding what I wanted...I just decided to build it.
#1 - place to compare ROMs and Kitchens..with filter and sorting.
#2 - place to keep track of my own personal ROIM experiences
#3 - place to keep track of cabs I load (how many cabs do you have on your storage card you have no idea what it is)
So I built up this Sharepoint site and gave a bunch of Cookers rights to post their stuff.
I would LOVE it if I could get some Coders to post their stuff too. It's really pretty easy. And since it's not really an interactive sight...you only have to do it once...you don't have to monitor it continuously.
So, now I'm going to the public.
Here are some screenshots of the basic idea

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Here are some of the cool stuff you can do with lists:
filter By Carrier
Filter By system
here's where users can track their experiences with different ROMs and Kitchens
Here they can track stuff on different Programs and Cab and such.
So....after all that...

Please understand that adding users is not automatic and somewhat cumbersome....I will try to process requests as soon as I can...but I just want to set expectations...It may by 24 hours or more in some cases. since I'm the only Admin right now.
Hope you like it...There's a survey out there on the site to let me know what you think.

[Game] 7Challenges

7Challenges
Your opinion matters! (A lot!)
Hey guys! This my first game I've ever made for Windows Phone. Can you guys please give it a go and tell me what do you think?
The game is free, but ad supported. Read the description to know how to play. Any question, doubt complaint, hate mail, whatever please post here and I'll get back to you. BTW, the game is called 7Challenges because there are ... well... 7 challenges in the game.
P.S.: There's more screenshots attached at the bottom of this post.
EDIT: I've listed this game under sports + recreation in the Marketplace because it's... kinda sporty and recreational? But I'm not sure this is the right section, which section should I place it?
Game description
7Challenges is a multiplayer party game, it's not meant to be played on your own but with a group of friends instead. A true party game!
The objective of the game is simple: Complete a challenge within the time limit by repeatedly doing the action displayed on the screen and pass the phone to the next person in the group.
For example, in the Tap challenge you have to rapidly tap the target until the goal bar is full, if you don't tap it fast enough you'll never make it.
With every challenge you or your friends complete, the time available to complete the next challenge decreases so you have to keep up the pace!
If someone fails the challenge, that person is out. Restart the game and continue until only one person stands as the winner

[App] Zero to Hero - Brand New App

Hi,
I developed a brand new app called "Zero to Hero".
The app let's you explore your yet unplayed music, those of your songs that you haven't yet ever played on your phone.
The key point: It's developed entirely using TouchDevelop, Microsoft's on device programming environment. Means it is developed right on Windows Phone itself.

The app just hit the marketplace:

Love this app, Best to discover the forgotten songs. We have it reviewed at wpxbox.com and also have couple of suggestions.
First is wrapping up of names of song which becomes messy when its too long. Second, once I play a song, does it get off the list ? I don't see that happening until I refresh

Thank you very much for the review,
regarding the issues, I'll look into them for the next update though I'm not sure whether it's exactly possible to fix all of them due to limitations of the TouchDevelop programing enviroment.

[Mockup] Tasker Holo Redesign

One of my favourite apps is Tasker which allows me to automate parts of my phone. For instance, I get in the car, it turns on GPS, Bluetooth and it starts up my SatNav software. You can find it here.
From the day I had the app, the one glaring problem with it was the UI. It's stuck back in Gingerbread times and a lot has changed since then.
I recently saw a shared post on Google+ from Roman Nurik which showed various mockups of Android apps with a new UI. This made me realise Tasker seriously needs an update and I know exactly how it should look using the Holo design whilst retaining the original layout.
So here it is, my Tasker redesign. I'll be honest, I pictured what this looked like in my head, so I sat down, opened Photoshop and 40 minutes later I had designed something I thought worked great. It's the very first design so could probably do with some community input and refining. Let me know your thoughts.
Original post was from my Google+ Page, however figured I would share it with you here as well as I appreciate not everyone is on Google+
https://plus.google.com/u/0/104495455427631084370/posts/AiH5my71hwD
would be awesome! tasker is the best android app ever, but it looks like crap. well, the focus of the app is clearly getting stuff done, but a little bit for the eye wouldnt hurt

Sexual/NSFW-themed Advertisements on XDA-Developers' Front Pages

Has anyone seen front-pages consisting of sexually themed advertisements like this today (2016-09-26)?:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It's safe to say that people aren't pleased with said advertisements. Yes, we understand why you need advertisements, but frankly, to put up NSFW advertisements on a site that MAY be used by those who aren't comfortable to seeing such content, like OAPs and children.
After all, this is supposed to be a smartphone-modding/developing site, with today's (2012-2016 - at the time of writing) main course being custom Android OSes, usually provided in the form of flashable ZIP packages, and NOT a porn site.
And this is why we have a thread dedicated for this purpose: Intrusive Ads? Post here!
Our rules forbid NSFW things like this being posted or discussed, so I'm not sure why anyone would think these ads were deliberately being shown?
The owners don't sit and approve every single ad that appears on the site, that just wouldn't be possible.
We are aware that some of these inappropriate ads are slipping through the net, and are working with the media agency to put a stop to them as soon as possible.
