Database Develop

Free Online Hosted Storage

Dear All Users and Devs,
I am offering Free FTP / HTTP access to a Dedicated, Hosted Server.
There are no bandwidth limitations nor are there any space limitations.
I will give you your own sub-domain based on your XDA user name and you can link to it directly for allowing people to download your work from an Add Free Server. All downloads are instantly started and there are no add supported web pages presented in the process.
Upon request of an account I will PM you your user name and password and instructions of how to link to a file after you have uploaded to the server via FTP.
I offer this for one simple reason, I want to help out our Dev and make it faster for the users of XDA to gain access to there work.
Why do I offer it for free...... Other than the fact I'm a nice guy.... Simple, I paid for the hosted server for a total of 3 years in one lump sum and have found myself not making use of it so rather than let it do nothing and my money be wasted, I offer it to the member of my Favorite site, XDA-Developers.
So, if you want an account for hosting your work or might want to use such a server in the future then Just PM me, I have no problems if you simply want the account setup and you don't use it straight away, I will not remove inactive accounts as they don't cost me anything to have there and I know how useful it can be to have available should you need it, even if its not for use with XDA.
If you want advanced statistics of your monthly traffic, I will be happy to email you every month with a PDF of your own sub domain. This will include vast amount of information regarding the time of day people download your work and even which files are downloaded and how many times.
If you have any questions, Just PM me.
Kind Regards

Gamerzrom

can anyone tell me why gamerzrom thread has been clased
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app

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.

APK websites

There are many APK websites out there that link android apps to their websites or direct download apk are generated. Are the download counts on them are fake? Because I've been seeing download counts from 35-600 depending on the website for my app..

I wouldn't worry about it if I were you. I was in the same position as you, but then I realized that most of these numbers must have been made up or taken from google play. No way some random site is managing to get 1/8th or even 1/80th of the downloads of my niche app.
However, I would watch out for your app on aptoide (most likely only if it is paid), because they distribute paid apks for free.

Those numbers, graphics, APKs, and other stats are pulled from Google Play. But, they aren't always kept up-to-date, so that may be the cause of the irregularities.
If you don't want people to be using your app if they installed it from outside of Google Play, then you can look into adding "Android Licensing" to your app. This is more important for paid apps, rather than free apps.
Another idea is to set up a "Google Alert" for your app name, so you can see just about every time your app name is mentioned across the Internet. Then, you can contact the app platform and either claim the app or ask them not to distribute it.

Just spotted my apk redistributed on a site. On which basis would you ask for removal? What if they don't comply?

I've noticed much more of this going on recently. We can estimate it roughly... when we published Magic Keyboard there was one APK for the main app and separate APKs for each language pack. Occasionally we would see a big peak in downloads of the language pack with no matching peak for the main app. At one point we reckoned about 80% of the Russian pack downloads were from pirated versions.
We also had issues with people uploading to other app stores/sites like mobango pretending to be us, so watch out for that too!
Now we're on Magic Keyboard 2 we can do similar by measuring S3 lang. pack downloads against app downloads and this time there is probably a 20% or so discrepancy (quite a bit higher, overall, than for v1).
It's close to impossible to get stuff removed from some sites. If it happens to be hosted on blogger, you can complain to Google and they'll sort it out. Beyond that really it's a case of relying on most people not being willing to risk downloading from non-authentic sources.
Alternatively of course you could implement licencing but that's not without its problems... due to the size of the problem we are considering it.

Quick note - I contacted apitoide to remove Magic Keyboard 2 and they did so within 24hrs.
It might inspire me to try a few more - if so I'll post back the results.

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...

I never used 3rd party apps, never setted up 3rd party apps just the stocks. My phone is on stock, too.
Interesting, that the 4 digit is realy my last digits of my phone number.
I installed Malwarebytes to my SM-G950F and after a full scan the result: Android/Trojan.Svpeng.rn in executed app "START". I don't know that this is a stock app or not but I know this was not installed by me.
After the removing process from the main locked screen I have lost the 3 round bubbles during the unlocking method.
Has ever somebody seen something mail as the citated?
Somebody has some ideas what to do? (I will not pay for nothing, I know the ransomware method.)
Could it be that I have this scam via once-used open WiFi connection without my know?
Thank you for your help.
Very best regards,

same here! I need help please!!!

Hello,
A wrote to the Gmail Help Forum, and they send me this answer:
They may have picked it up from some other hacked site. There's been a trend of spam sent out that includes people's password. It's from hacking some other site and getting the unencrypted registration information, then sending out scams to all those addresses. It's a bit freaky when you get one of those.
If course if you're concerned about your account (and who shouldn't be), you should review all your account security and recovery settings: http://gmailaccountrecovery.blogspot.com/#security (scroll down to: When you reclaim Your Account).
