Do you want to help build something awesome? - Off-topic

Hello, my name is Tucker Siegel. So I am gonna cut right to the chase. I want you to help me with my new website. What is this website, you might ask. Well I have created a site where you, the reader, is also a writer. Yep, my site will accept user submitted content, and post it! Don't worry, any question you have will be posted right on the website, with a much more thorough explanation of why I did it. So, do you want to be a writer on a tech news publication? Well then go to my site, and become one!
Site: I need to mask it so.
Part 2: Now you are not required to, but it would be absolutely amazing if you could make even just the smallest donation to me for the site, would be amazing. There is no reward, and by no means am I saying you have to. If you would like to, just send it over PayPal to: Siegel(dot)tucker(at)gmail(dot)com
Thanks So Much!
-Tucker Siegel

Hello all
Welcome Huawei Ideos S7 users!!
I am here to assit you and help clean this forums properly organized.
Do not hesitate on droping me a pm or using the report button.
Please DO READ​
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 New Members:
Treat new members the way you would have liked to have been treated when you were a new member. Provide the new members with guidance, advice and instruction always with respect and courtesy.
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.

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.

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.

1 - Week Bootlogos!!! Doctor Who - 26 Bootlogos!

See last post
Dude.. Can you please just make one post with one link to your website? I don't like getting spamed with boot images.
This guy has one goal in mind: make money by spamming his Moto G2 boot images in the Moto G3 forum.
He saw a user post one of his images and literally went ape-****, so he posted a BILLION links all hidden behind pay-by-the-click ad hosting at adfly, which is against site rules. I've already reported the two threads here which aren't already closed....I wish the mods would just delete them, though. They're only doing him a favor by leaving it posted where people can still find and click the links.

Crowdfunding for EnesSastim new development Nokia 7 Plus device

HELLO COMMUNITY.....
Today I was talking with a friend and he asked me why I didn't place a thread to kindly ask the Nokia community to help me to get a very simple Nokia 7 plus ($308 USD) for @EnesSastim to start developing for it. So I decided to go ahead and create this little snippet thread on the progress.
BACKGROUND
@EnesSastim is the unofficial maintainer of several GSI ROM projects including Pixel Experience and can work on building the necessary trees to build ROMs, kernels etc.
FUTURE
Nokia now released the code and he now can and wants to work on this device, but he does not want to do it blindly so he needs a device to work.
He will make the tree for our device and help in the development of ROMs
FINANCIAL
Crowdfunding will take place via PayPal donations and I'll post when we reach the value needed to take the most basic device. Taxes and shipping I can back up when it arrives
MOD EDIT: removed
Thankyou:angel:
I'm sorry, but crowdfunding is not allowed on XDA.
As per forum rules 8 and 13:
8. Donations.
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 and not about getting paid to do something... that is what your job is for.
