Hi there, there are several IDEs available but the 2 main ones for Android Development are Eclipse and Android Studio. Google now recommend using Android Studio, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it is any better, it is way more complex than Eclipse in my opinion.
I'll post some links to articles on setting up the IDE after this post as I'm hoping I will be allowed by then...

New filesharing site for forum uploads

Hey guys, just want to let you know about a new file sharing site I found.
DemonFile.com
With a lot of the file sharing services being shut down due to SOPA/PIPA, it's interesting to see a new player in the game.
Max upload size for Free members is 2 GB!
Seems like it would be really useful for roms and apps.
Just wanted to let my good friends at XDA know.
Sorry, you are limited to 8 thanks per day
I'll spank it tomorrow man, thanks

Our XDA Thread is closed for funny reasons. Someone claimed rights about PNG files from Samsung based ROMS. What a bad thing we did uh! We spending hundreds of dollars, and unlimited time for this special project. We don't care about a few stupid PNG files. We are amazed how XDA staff did this mistake. Whatever.

"hundreds of dollars" - hehehe lies, plain bull**** all they do is COLLECT $ from ads and downloads
"unlimited time" - unlimited time to copy paste from others work ??? moving from one firmware to another is not taking much for one person, for couple of them even more
and well giving credits when taking someone elses work should be obligatory so either they constantly refused to give it or the reasons are other than they say
anyways i will wait with releasing stock+ untill those pro's will release thir version to do not get a copy pasted by those pros

They're still devs trying to produce good roms for the I9000 community. Shaming them shouldn't be allowed, because they're still providing something good and are actively contributing to our device. There are people in these forums such as @darkknigh_t and myself who appreciate their work and for providing stable and fast roms for the community.
Respect their work and what they do, shaming and disregarding their work is just low.

They ran into some accusations over some .png files they used for the camera, which were the stock SGS4 images. Someone else claimed that the camera pngs were theirs. They didn't know that it was someone else's. It couldn't be sorted so the links for version 3.0 were taken down.

and it is not a rare here on xda that someone takes others work and 'forgets' to credit - maybe the png was not the only problm with gamerz - idk

TorrApk free app store

Hello developers,
I'm Giuseppe from TorrApk, a free Android app store that distribute only free apps in their .apk file format.
It was created about 3 years ago to meet the needs of people who want to install applications on devices that have no access to Google Play, or on devices whose brand is pretty unknown and then are considered incompatible with a lot of applications available on Play.
The service offered by TorrApk is highly appreciated in many countries around the world. More than 1600 developers are already using TorrApk because it's free, and it gives them the chance to reach devices that can not be reached with Play.
If you want to start using TorrApk, you can easily get your free developer account and you'll have access to developer's tools.
I want also remark that if you join TorrApk:
- all your personal pages will be served via encrypted connection (https);
- your password will be saved on our db after a strong encryption;
- we'll follow all the best practice to make secure any action that you can take in relation to your account;
- we'll take care of you by responding to any request as soon as possible ;
I know that this is my first post on xda-developers community and I'm using it to promote my personal project (sorry for that), anyway I really think that it can be useful to many of you.
For any further information, please feel free to ask, I'll be glad to reply.
Giuseppe

Yet another S6 Active (G890A) Root Thread

According to my search on this forum, it's been at least two months since root of Galaxy S6 Active was mentioned last, so I thought I'll try again...
I am trying to figure out if there is a way to root the phone now? I tried KingoRoot, Towel Root, PingPong, King and nothing worked...
Would the phone get bricked if I try the rooting via Odin using the files for the regular S6 (G920)?
Is it possible to just flash CyanogenMod and thus get both the rom and root that way?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Subbed, I would also like to know

Is upping a thread a thing on this forum?
Great question! We don't want to brick our new Galaxy S6 Actives either!!!
Want rooooooooooot
Far as I know, there has been no news regarding root for S6 Active.
There is a group of people trying to put together a bounty for a S6 Active root, but the problem is nobody is really sure how to properly setup the bounty

Yet another thing that confuses me....why is the edge and active so different from the normal 6. Why would there be any reason for the internals to be changed besides maybe moving some stuff around so it fits right. I am so happy I decided not to get the active even though I learned today that it has 1000 more mAh than the normal/edge which if I would've known that at purchase I would of gotten it... I feel your pain guys. It is even worse that it is an ATT Active of all things, :/
Agree! Android really is different without root.
I have had my G890A (S6 Active) for just over a month.
This is the longest I've ever had a non-rooted Android phone since my first HTC many years back. It's frustrating!
The phone's nice. It's got the bigger battery, a bit tougher, and not too large (but I *am* tired of "demo'ing" the phone-in-a -glass-of-water trick for friends already .
I like the promise of durability, but chaff at lack of root, and the personal tweaks that I took for granted on my S4, my S2 and other rooted android phones. . .
;-(

Well I think one of the question is whether it is actually any different from the normal 6 from the root perspective? Has anyone tried to use 6 firmware on it?

I'm in the same boat. I got a good deal on Swappa for this phone and love the hardware. I'd love root to remove bloatware, install xposed modules and remove ads. This phone has huge potential but falls short.

Uh.... This isn't my app?!! I saw it was free and wanted to make others aware that may appreciate it?!
Thanks for the jumping of conclusions though. You're welcome for my thoughts and considerations of helping out others.

There's not 1000 apps that are free for a limited time at the same time?
You can report it, that's fine. If I broke any rules by posting a link to a Free app, that I don't even own, sorry.. The moderators have the right to delete this thread if they see fit.

You know what man, you're out of line and I'm going to give you some advice. This type of attitude is not what this site is for. Keep scrolling if it bothers you so much. No rules have been broken. Before you try to police threads for no reason you should re-read the rules yourself.
If this is the type of thing that you plan on bringing to the table with regularity you may not be around long out here, nor will anyone offer support for when you need it. And one day you will. We all do, myself included. So you may wish to consider being nice to people so you don't get a bad rep for being "that guy" that no one wishes to deal with. Trust me that's not a fun place to be. No one wants to be that guy.
Remember this is a fun hobby we all share so there's no need to spoil things and take the fun out of this for people when they've done nothing wrong. He's made a thread in a relatively inactive section regarding something he felt like sharing that he found helpful. There's no harm in that at all. It's kind of the backbones of the site if you think about it.
