all those games are FREE FOR HD2 AND HD mini owners, those links above just providing mirrors ..... i smell fail
Hi fellas,
After a through review it has been determined the links to be in Violation of the Licensing Agreement between the legit providers of the game and the game developers in place.
http://www.sitdistribution.ae/ea/in...tent&view=category&layout=blog&id=1&Itemid=50
According to the sources provided you are legitimately entitled to download this game only from this site, and only for those 3 phone models
The links posted earlier will violate all of the above.
Please see the XDA Rules for detail
If you want to download the games, you should visit the legit source of the games to get it through the proper channel
Thank you
More and more custom mods on this site are moving to another forum, and posts in forum sections seems to point away from xda forum when you click download?
Is it really getting so bad for xda forum, that developers starts to link outside this forum?
Seems the rules around this forum are getting to strict.
Anyone else noticed?
Only ones ive ever seen linking to a different forum are villain roms,

Problem is...No other community would have such a large fan base, XDA has well over 400K users I'm assuming, finding another development site like this would be hard. XDA has been around for some time, and many are using this place to share their work and work with others. If Devs leave perm, they won't have as much of an impact IMHO.
It is better as a developer for your portfolio to link your work from your own site. just because a developer links to his own site does not mean they are leaving this wonderful site. XDA in my opinion is far better than Microsofts apphub forums any day plus most are nice here compared to other sites.

Most are nice... But its been getting worse. Back when winmo ruled xda, I never saw near the amount of flaming or just terrible conduct in general. Thus this new "iron fist" method by the mods.

No, but some developers are dropping devices... Such as the G2x.

Ok, I just noticed a desire rom and i remember several roms from acer and asus being on other sites as well.
maybe just team specific, but it seems a little strange that i find it here, and then in some cases i need to register to download from another site. could also just be a way to pull some members to their site.
The only devs that leave are the ones that aren't getting their own way, and leave in the huff because they think they are entitled to more. No one forces them to leave.
There are still a huge number of devs still producing great work on xda
The developers have two options:
Either post their developments in this forum
Or host their developments on their personal dedicated website.
Most of the developers follow both the routes. I doubt if there's any other option, that can get them an instant large user-base.
a very good example is CyanogenMod
he has his own website/forum, yet his ROMs are everywhere
so it's not strange to see ROMs here linked out to their own download places
as there are Thousand if not Million of fans for any given ROM
some DEV can afford their own website, some other cannot, and they will just host it where they feel more comfortable with as simple as that
I'm guessing having your own website helps with getting ad revenue and such? But in order to get traffic, you really have to be on XDA.
A lot of devs are leaving due to issues with users, other devs, and the mods. The mods don't always make the best decisions and don't care to explain their actions. The users always ask for things that annoy the devs. The devs argue about who kang'd what, stole code here, etc. It's pretty childish conduct for a forum made by adults.

It's more or less model/dev/team specific.
XDA is more or less an American site and so phones used widely in US have active development in XDA.
I have an LG GT540 Optimus. Most of the ROMs/Guides/Apps for this phone on XDA come from and are linked to Russian forums. This is due to the reason that active developers for this phone come from Russia and don't care about English much.
Plus, most downloads are linked to file distributions networks since XDA has an upper 8MB file size limits.

No duh. Most of the developers for my phone, LG GT540 Optimus.
Devs for other models might be from other countries. Most of the XDA devs who use XDA as primary forum would be from US.

Xda is NOT an American site. Do your research first. It's home is in Europe.....Just because the rules require users to post on English doesn't mean this is an American site.. ..

I didn't say XDA is American in origin. But, most of the devices in here are the devices sold around America. That's why I said more or less American. =)
I've been a "watcher" too long in this community. It's time to contribute back what I can.
I have a server doing nothing, and I'd love to waste as much bandwidth as I can.
If you're a developer for a ROM, and you'd like to have PHP, FTP, perl, sql, etc support, please reply to this thread or message me directly, and I'd be more than happy to get things set up for you ASAP. This is a new device, with a fantastic development community, and I think every developer deserves a chance for success. An email address, along with a website will help accomplish this for determined individuals. I don't plan on ever letting go of the domain names, or the server that I have.
Cheers you guys.
P.S. > Also, if someone wouldn't mind helping keep this thread active by posting articles or links to publishers with books available to teach me how to develop, that would be fantastic. I know this fits a little closer with "General", but its important, I think, that developers get involved in this, because of the huge possibility of misinformation.

I was really, really hoping this thread wasnt going to be moved to general, because now it is probably never going to be read by the developers. If by any chance you know someone who is developing roms for the sgsii, or how to get ahold of people who are, i would love to spearhead this project and get their hosting up asap. I would love to have a website for your rom, a central hub for tools, resources, and links, but i dont have any of the web development knowledge or background to even know what cms software would work best. Ive installed hundreds of vbulletin boards back in the day (when pirating vbulletin and ipb was fun). I know how to use cpanel very well, how to modify apache and php settings, and how to setup mysql, but i guess ive been out of the loop too long. Help me out guys. Lets get a website going for these awesome developers.

Okay, perhaps a new approach. Would someone like to try and help me get a website going with all the important files for the 989? (ODiN, radios, stock roms, drivers, etc).

If your looking for someone to gather and upload and get descriptions and such I would be happy to. If your looking more for someone to make zips and such that is a little out of my league.

I think I'm going to need to install some sort of software on my server to host the downloads. Then the guides and descriptions all fall into place. I'm just not sure. I think it'd be a good idea.
I suggest posting on skyrockets (I727 sister device nearly identical) forum as well, in order to really stir interest...

you might have not noticed, but the DEVs do read the General forum as well
in fact we keep asking people to keep the comments on General, unless they are of development value, then they should reply back to the DEV topic
but as usual newbies never listen
Is Google a paying sponsor of XDA, and do they influence what can (or cannot) be said about them or their products, here on XDA?
no

No, and no. Xda has nothing to do with Google. We're not just an Android forum. There's lots of other forums for Windows Mobile, Windows Phone, even Windows PCs, as well as several other mobile OSs.
Android is just the most common platform for our users.
Just have a look here to see what's on offer...
