Develop Bugs

How much did the XDA Tapatalk for Android app cost?

The app is branded by XDA-Dev, which must have cost something, and then can be downloaded free of charge by anyone from the Market.
How much did that cost? We're on another forum and looking to develop an app to do the same.

You might have more luck PMing svetius, but why not ask Tapatalk yourself? It might vary depending on the size of the forum and other features, maybe also the forum engine

Money < Love
I always assumed Tapatalk just loved/respected (possibly lovspected!) XDA, I never thought about the fact that the internet doesn't revolve around coders helping coders, pornography and... well I'm sure there are other things the internet is good for...

Would appear to be $999 for a forum.

I don't understand why forum for people, developing android applications, buyed app from someone else
I guess many people here would do that for free. If you would do some kind of contest for best xda app, you would get it for free. And maybe it would be even better than current one.

[Q] Struggling Dev - Please help

Hi,
First off, you guys rock. These forums really bring the community together and include some of the brightest minds this century has to offer.
Basically, I'm trying to get a foothold on the Android game scene and am at a bit of a loss of what to do next.
I've written a free game and couple of live wallpapers (see signature below - originally released 19 Jun 2011), which I am spending all the time I can developing. These have have had a number of downloads - but nothing spectacular.
I don't have any funds to throw into any advertising (I was hoping some sales would raise some to do this).
I'm not getting much in the way of feedback either - which I am at a loss of how to encourage. I don't have any willing beta-testers that are willing to work for appreciation.
So, I'm either doing something wrong, not doing something I should - or everyone is being polite because my apps are so poor they aren't worth commenting on (which I would take on the chin as I am constantly trying to improve them).
Have I released them into the market too early?
Or am I simply being impatient and should shut up and keep slogging away?
Can anyone please point me in the right direction? I really want to make this work as games writing may be a lot of work but it is way more fun!
Cheers,
Paul

If ur wanting a tester let me know mate ill get a few people to try it out

festa20,
That would be great! I'd really appreciate it.
I'll put something together to send to you later if that's ok?
I can't really offer any compensation at this stage apart from my gratitude, but that may change when the money comes rolling in.
Cheers,
Paul

Depending on what kind of game it is, I'd like to help test.
I'm somewhat of a dedicated gamer across different platforms, but I'm focused on games that do not have a storyline to follow (ie., no RPG games). Action games and puzzles are my forte.

It's a top-down tower defence game. There is definitely a level of action and strategy involved.
It's my first android/java game and I'm trying to improve as I learn. I hope you like what you see so far and maybe even see some potential.
Ver 1.2 of Livestock Vs The Undead is on the market (see sig below) - so if you wouldn't mind checking that out before I can get a beta to you (hopefully in the next week or so). There have quite a few tweaks since that version, but it'll give you an idea of what it's about.
Many thanks,
Paul

Yea mate just pm ms when u got something lined up for us and i downloaded that game bout 2 days ago i saw it on market cheers man

Hiya,
I've just emailed you all out the latest version of my app (v1.3 beta) and I look forward to your findings.
Kind regards,

Any fixes/workaround on xda for the sound bug on E4GT?

I'll apologize beforehand if this question has already been asked... You probably all know about the sound pool issues that cause games to crash/forceclose...
I was wondering if any of you folks know any fixes... Ive heard the gsm sgs2's have the lite ning rom which fixes that issue... Are there any roms/kernals that fix the sprint version??? (the epic 4g touch)...
Thank you before hand!!!

Calkulins v1.1 rom fixed that issue for me. Check it out here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1332837

THANKS... right now my phone is unrooted/fully stock... I honestly doubt samsung will patch this anytime soon- I've called samsung support about there buggy sound pool and they've told me themselves there's nothing in the works (currently) to fix this issue... Guess I'll have to root and flash... By the way here's the last email I sent (copy paste wood for word...)
Summary :SOUND BUG?!?! FIX?!?!*Details : I'm sure you folks are aware of the sound pool issue with the Samsung Galaxy SII... i have the Sprint version, SPH-D710, and I'm curious to know if there is a firmware release, maybe even an ETA date to fix this problem... Games in particular causes constant crashing and forced closing... Let me re-assure you that i am NOT here to bash Samsung Products, I still do love the phone aside from this bug... i did intend to use my device for gaming, although the device renders MANY games unplayable (Cut The Rope, Pocket Legends, Order and Chaos, are a few of the games i have, and ALL are sold in the Android Market, but they seem to be unplayable ONLY on this device)... Im just a concerned customer curious if there will be a fix to address this issue... Thank you very much for reading my inquiry, any information given would be GLADLY appreciated!!!
Samsung support:
-Thank you for the feedback. I don't have any information for you at this time but I'm making note of this and I'll send it along for analysis.*--*Thank you,SamsungScotSamsung Social Media [email protected]

Saying bye to dman

Well as we all know by now that dman is gone nd prolly won't come back to help the SUPER slow development of the phone. I myself rly rly appericated his work and all his efforts in the phone. I am keepin the rom and not changing anything for it... works fine haven't seen any bugs that are or are not there. So just wanted to say thanks for the hard work dman and u will be missed greatly!
And thanks to all the whiners and liars...

its sad that a few have to ruin it for everyone else. thanks again dman.

I have never seen this amount of childishness on XDA before.
PRIMARILY from the users but also a little bit (because he was being instigated) from the Dev.
Thanks for ruining other peoples investments in time and money in these devices.
Over-investing your ego in to fights on a developer forum is just immature and silly, grow up kiddies.

Yeah, whiners and liars cost us a good dev.

Didn't get the whole story, could someone summarize what had happenend the INCEPTION thread?

the dev took a lot of time to make a pretty slick rom, without even having access to the device.
A bunch of douchebags decided to complain about something they could never do themselves.
the dev got butt-hurt and pulled the thread and the ROM.
this is why I hate using forums.

I had the feeling he was on the verge of taking his toys home.
I've got both versions of Inc3ption, does anyone want me to post them?

yes please

Yes! I'm getting this phone this month and the Rom would be greatly appreciated!

I have them too, but I've solved most issues regarding the first one. There are bugs where things dont work or force close, so you have to replace them with other apks. the only thing i havent fixed is the videos wont play if you record them, but you can view the pics however. I haven't used the second version yet.

I'd be curious to give it a whirl... I totally missed this whole debacle. Came to xda one day and the inception thread was gone and I had no idea why..
If someone uploads this from somewhere, drop me a pm

I have both as well and never had a prob with anything force. Closing that I use... just all how u wipe an could be a bad download

Wait, wait, wait ! What ?

Sucks that one of the few devs for an under appricated device left us but until there's a stock ics rom with root I honestly won't be using a custom rom. But that could have been someone releasing what I was looking for when we get ICS. I don't personally know the whole story but let's not act like children and either; work our differences out, or back your smack talk up with code.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I927 using XDA

Thanks for your hard work dman, it was greatly appreciated. As a matter of fact it is still very much appreciated every day when I use my phone. I believe this to be true for most people out there using the fruits of your labour.
It is a shame though that you let a dumb-ass bring you down to his level. I, for one, was quite surprised you felt a need to defend yourself against the allegations of an idiot. Pulling your ROMs because one person wrongly calls you a liar due to him being unwilling/unable to properly read is beneath you, or so most of us would have thought and hoped. How you ultimately reacted is petty, regardless of how good your work is, or how busy you are.
Perhaps his words came at a bad time, and hit home because of it. Perhaps you feel underappreciated. Or maybe you become irrational through the mentioning of lying, I don't know. You should know that if you feel even the tiniest bit slighted by my words, then you mistake intent.
All I do know is that everyone would like you to come back, and that most people have, do, and will love your work.

This really sucks. Just when I thought we had got some good interest in this great phone our community takes 2 steps back by losing a developer. It sucks that one person or a slight few can make people pack up and run!
I agree people are free to do as they please since this is done on their free time and there is no compensation other then how people react to what they release. I think people should be able to give criticism and not insult or complain when they get something for free. Also Developers should understand that there are many people out there that appreciate there work and do not wish for them to be bothered by some slight ignorant people that expect everything to be spoon fed to them.
I hate to see childish behavior and people slandering each other on forums. This is a nice venue for people to share their appreciation and work towards making an already great device that much better.
Can't we all just get along?
JB Out.

The new one as far as I know just had bugfixes as well as adding a pretty unusable theme. I'm sure all of us would like to see your updated version, sans theme with bug fixes.
Also, I'm familiar with coding, but not rom creation/modification at all. Would you mind pointing me to a getting started tutorial of some sort? I'd love to contribute to the cause.

"have an idea, need a developer"

How classic is this. I have a pretty solid idea and I've always been on the business side of things. Need a technical co-founder. I think I have a really friggn solid idea, willing to give up a percentage of my company that doesn't yet exist..if we can arrange a deal.
I already have detailed mockups designed and general wire frames. I want to be primarily in charge of the UI design stuff and the business side of things, but this is going nowhere unless I find help. I recently graduated, have an unrealistic sense of how much work this will be and I have little money to throw at this. However, I'm as driven as they come and I think this is a legitimately good app/business.
It involves the local sharing economy and craigslist.
If interested at all, please let me know. Again, I'm naive to most of you, I already know that much... But I also know that it does no good to write and plan ideas out without ever trying something out in real life. I'm sure a genius kid programmer developer can crank this stuff out in a weekend without even trying. Anyone trying to jump on board?
