FREE hosting for ROM creators - Hero, G2 Touch Android Development

Don't have your own personal space to load your ROMS? No problem!
As a contribution to all the creators for their hard work, im offering free web space for you to upload your creations!
What is included:
subdomain name (www.kriev.com/yoursitename or http://yoursitename.kriev.com)
ftp access (unlimited space and bw)
SQL, SSL (you need to go through me for this however but it's not a problem)
If you have your own domain, you get point it to my DNS
It's all free.
All you need to do is PM me.
NOTE: The server is located in North-America (EST-Canada) however it's getting great speeds for Europe and so far is hard to congest!

That's a mighty generous offer. Didn't you post this a few months back as well? I'm surprised more devs haven't jumped on the opportunity to move away from rapidshare/megaupload/etc in favor of your website.

yeah i did.. it got deleted for some reason.
I have a few people using it for storage but im not seeing the download links in their posts..
It's all good, im not asking for anything in return really, just thought people would of jumped on this offer quicker

you're very generous
send a pm to devs....

Probably because using file sharing sites gives devs returns in the way of providing for some rewards in the form of premium accounts/ a nominal sum from the number of downloads per file. After all, devs would need to self support themselves at least initially, unless there are generous donations.

Offering free mirror space for roms.

Hey guys,
I got about 7tb of bandwidth to spare each month and want to offer mirrors for roms. I've had a lot of help and fun with roms here on xda, and want to make an contribution.
If you want some mirror space for free, pm me, and i will setup an ftp account for you.
^^
i'll need it
hope it has download counter?
Also happy to offer space/bandwidth for ROMs. I do hosting and design for clients. My newest server has space set aside for XDA Dev. Its on a 100mbit unmetered in the Docklands.
Just message me your desired ftp username and password.

Developers look here! ROM Hosting

Hey all developers
I'v started a small site which i hope will grow fast
I'm offering all developers free hosting for your ROM's on my server.
romn****.info.
I got several developers interested and signed up already and im working on better design at the moment.
It has high speed and unlimited bandwidth and lots of storage.
All developers has unlimited storage so no worries about that.
Any interest?
Send me a pm
ask questions here and let me know what you think of this in this topic??
what about using dropbox?
it's site with 2G free space which easly could be used as exchange box for developers, like for usual users...
nice feature is direct downloading to sd card in android client, so you don't have to download rom with desktop browser and then send it to phone download, reboot to rescue, flash, be happy
try my referral link https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTcwMTc5NDA5 which would add me some space above that 2G for free
I'm just offering a service
Its good speed, lots of storage, not limited as dropbox is.
And i offer own personal website for each developer if they want.
And im trying to have many roms at one place.

Dropbox has issues when you have a lot of people using your public links, which I had through only hosting a little radio ROM.
God knows how they'd cope with me hosting ROMs there. I might upload a few and see
But a good and generous offer from the OP

IPv6 support & ROM torrents?
Getting IPv6 support for your site & creating torrents of ROMs may certainly help you with site performance & creating a niche for yourself.
we are looking into this and we will see what happens
A cautionary note...
If sites like this proposed ROM hosting site do proliferate it will become even more important for all ROM releases to have an MD5 sum posted in a place other than on the ROM hosting site.
It is not beyond imagination that phone software could be maliciously compromised at source. Then where would we all be?
But, to be clear, I cast no aspersions on this particular cove making this current hosting offer.

That is in fact very true, and should be done on all occasions for any ROM release. Passwords get cracked, hosting sites get compromised etc. so it's a good idea
I have an auto md5 script somewhere I use on villainrom.co.uk, and i dont think it was too hard to make. Maybe these should be used more often
I believe the main obstacle is to establish a secure and reliable repository for the ROM checksums. If that will be available, I don't think responsible ROM developers will have problems with using it, one by one - especially if the more popular ROMs will join the effort.
Working with Pulser and should atleast have the function added by the end of the day.

You cannot ignore these issues and just hope they'll go away. Just how are you going to manage the risks? Tell us please!

Had an idea or two, which I am looking into soon
It would be totally external to this site. I am looking into encryption stuff just now
Just my two cents;
On Villainrom.co.uk we already run md5 checks when we push out files, and we sync the mirrors often, and it will check each file when it does. Any files that does not match the one we have locally will be deleted and reuploaded.
For complete control its important that people check the md5sums. This will not only let them know they got the correct rom but also that their download was not corrupted.
One thing we are looking into is a rom downloader. We would distribute a small .exe file that would download the rom from our mirrors and then verify the downloaded file against the sha1/md5 we have on file, before making the file available to the user. This would be optional.
Btw there is an inherent risk in installing custom roms in the first place.
One thing also that would work is to make a updated list in a thread with checksums for current ROMs so its easy to check here.

And what's to stop the thread being edited? Look, you probably see me as a nuisance just making trouble for you. I assure you I'm not. If you want a workable business to provide income - and I guess that's your motivation for this - you need to think long and hard about security. Maybe Androids are 'safe' right now... but next week or next month? It won't be long before the bad guys are seeking to look over my shoulder when I use my Android to check my bank account or make a flight booking with my credit card. At the moment I 'trust' developers with a track record in this forum and assume that released ROMs are pulled apart and scrutinized by other teams. That aids my security.
With your planned site, a ROM could be released, scrutinized by other developers on release, but a week later altered by someone adding some malevolent code to the ROM. If I can imagine it then someone is probably planning to do it!

I'm pretty sure that one was addressed somewhere. I can't remember where, but I remember seeing that the file was updated since there was a fix shortly after release.
But I'm thinking of something better than just a script on the site. I'm talking about a public-key verifiable list of MD5 sums. Need to look into it a bit more.
But TBH I think a bit much emphasis is being placed on this. I work in IT security, and have to say that whilse caution is always good, really the only way to be safe is to make the ROM yourself, compiled from AOSP, and sift each line of source code manually.
But yeah, all OTA updates ARE md5'd and issued, as mcduck actually made that code
I'm embedding this for releases too soon

[TIP] Storage for developers/non-developers (not spam or advertising!!)

For the mods:
I don't know if I'm posting this thread in the right section, so if it's wrong please move it! Also this thread is to help the developers and not to advertise or to spam... So please, if this is not permitted please remove this thread and I'm sorry
Okay, after pointing that out I want to share a thing I recently discovered. Many developers, especially developers with collaborative projects, are having hard times to save their stuff at an always accessible place. When you're developing with a few people it would be awesome to have a secured place only accessible for permitted users (the developers), to share stuff between the "crew" without wasting many time.
There is a very easy way to make something like that happen, for free!! But how do you do that? I will explain it to you!!
To make an online place and save/share your projects you have to go through a few steps:
First of all you have to make a free 2GB Dropbox account. Okay, 2GB is not much, but there a a few tips/tricks to get more space up to 20GB.
After you have made the account and installed the Dropbox application you can go to "Sharing" at the website.
At the "Sharing" page you see'll this explanation: Dropbox shared folders let you share or collaborate on a set of files. When someone joins a shared folder, the folder appears inside their Dropbox, and syncs to their computers automatically.
The only thing you have to do is to create a shared folder at this page and invite the users to share with. Thats the only thing you have to do to make your developing life easier. For free...
When you have done that, you are able to share files between the people you want and the other people can also share files with you!!
Thats all!! But, before you do this I'll give you a few tips to get a free account of 20GB or even more...
First of all, create an account with the given link in this post or my signature. It's a referral link wich will give you an instant extra space of 250mb. And it's gives me also a 250mb or space
Second, complete the "Getting started" list to gain an extra of 250mb. At this point you should have 2,5GB of space.
Third, go to this place and complete all the tasks: https://www.dropbox.com/free... You'll get a total of 640mb if you complete all the tasks. It are very simple tasks wich will not cost more than 2 minutes of your time...
At last, let people subscribe to Dropbox with your referall link, it will give you everytime when somebody subscribes an extra of 250mb. And there's a way to even double it. When you have an .edu mail address, you can go to https://www.dropbox.com/edu and double the space you get when a person subscribes with your referall... So you get after every subscription 500mb. Up to 16GB of space extra...
So I hope everybody can use this tip/trick and will profit from it to make their collaborated projects more organised...
Please don't see this as spam or advertising, my intention is to help people out and make their life easier
If you have more tips or tricks please tell them and I will update this post. If you like this thread please hit the "thanks" button!!

All about dead links to ROMs

It is really sad because most links for not so old ROMs are DEAD. Most of them were stored on MegaUpload, which is totally dead.
Sincerely, I am really surprised that NO ONE of the ROM-masters bothers to create a torrent for their ROM. WHY? Don't you want your work to be alive and well?
I don't really know if it is permitted to publish here links to torrent files, but I think that torrent is a contemporary technology, and if used right is a huge improvement on WORK SHARE for those who has a talent in something worth.
Starting from this post I want to publish some link to torrent-files of ROMs, that were checked on real devices.
1. Aurora ROM v5: Aurora_v5.zip.torrent
(Now downloading the fresh v6, will release a torrent when it's done, the Hotfile.com gives only about 80kb/sec download)
Edit: Aurora_v6_SE.zip.torrent
2. RevolutioN v3.0: RevolutioN.xMas.Edition.v3.0.A2SD%2B-signed.zip.torrent
P.S.: And again my word for ROM-makers - if you want people to enjoy your work, it is in your hands. Give them a good link, an alive one.
Torrents always need a seed. As soon as the need for the Rom disappears, so do the seeds. Then its just a .torrent file pointing to an empty tracker

Is it very hard for ROM-maker to seed 5-6 versions, or the only last 2 versions of his work?
And, in the torrent files, when you create them, you may enter web-seeds, the direct link to the file on some server. Do someone need a hosting? I can host about 50 roms! And I can seed them at home as torrents. Is it something hard in our days?!

..and why rely on technology that isps and work places treat as illegal and block / throttle. Ftp is the best way forward. Torrents are old hat. Didn't know.people still used.it ha ha
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk
Do you think, that relying on some slow and questionable upload sites is better?
This is about a week that I've decided to flash some new ROM on my wife's Desire, and I have been trying to download for some days! 99% of the links are dead!
If someone from ROM-masters want to host their ROMS on my server, welcome! I have about 20GB free and 1,5TB of bandwidth monthly. And I have an Internet at home, I can seed them. In our time it is possible, you know?
Why no one has proposed a help like this? Is it illegal somehow? Just think about Ubuntu and others - they give a torrent to the community.
P.S.: And if you have blocked torrents at work, or even at home (that is nonsence!) you always can use some online services, that download torrents for you and give you a direct link.
Thank you if you are willing to help developers host their roms. But developers would proactively update their download links if they really want to keep their work alive. If they don't then they probably moved on to something else or doesn't care at all or both.
They don't owe us anything for they do this thing on their own terms. They are grateful for every donation but that doesn't mean that they owe you support. It's a donation not a pay for service.

There is a new release of the ROM today, but it is on hotfile.com, that is giving only 50-70kb/s speed! It takes forever to download. Is it very hard for developer to make a torrent file and seed it? I understand that they don't owe me anything, but should the people choose the better way to distribute their work?
If that's what they can offer or if that's their preference then who am I to complain? I am just a leecher. Yes it would be a pain to download. I don't prefer torrents tbh and I can also go and say "Is it very hard for developer to make upload this to mediafire hotfile?"

Well no one is stopping you from helping them out in that department and I bet the devs would appreciate it.
As for me, I still prefer file hosting sites as with the majority of people here I guess. I really don't wanna go and install a torrent client on my laptop anyway.

Only two more posts Rever! You've done well out of this (pointless?) debate
Personally I think this is a good idea. I already use this method for testing and distributing Linux distros.
of course if the ROM is open source which all Android roms should be then there is plenty of good free hosting specifically for open source projects. Two I can think of being Google code and Sourceforge

BTW: Can anyone advice other good roms, that will be good to release as torrents?
Hmm Aurora v6; 1 hotfile, 2 live mirrors not much need of torrent there.
Just hope u ask the Devs first.

[ROMS] Mirrors for CyanogenMod cm9-cm12

Hello
I notice that most of you have problems with the roms hosted in some servers. I also notice that most of you don't have problems on files hosted in google drive. So I'm providing a mirror in google drive to cm9, cm10, cm10.1, cm11 and cm12 for the people that have low speeds in the servers posted on the roms threads.
IMPORTANT: Please check, after you download, the name of the file if it matches with the rom you wanted. Errors are human. Even if I had careful with posting the links I can also make mistakes. ALWAYS check the md5sum.
Note: This is only for CyanogenMod roms!. Any other roms will not be created a mirror, so don't bother on asking for it.
Note 2: Some users can also provide the links if they want. For the rest of people who enjoy these kind of work, possibly the links will be on the last pages.
Note 3: There is also odin stuff folder that contains everything so you can flash a recovery. There is also instructions on how to do it. The instructions were based on a thread here in xda (credits are present in the text file)
Folder that contains the CyanogenMod roms
I also provide the MD5sum for those who want to test it before flashing (I highly recomend you doing this)
MD5sum for CyanogenMod 10.2 - Alpha 9 --> 4f7a03b8f3885a7c4521a20e24022990
Md5sum for CyanogenMod 11.0 (20150322-UNOFFICIAL) --> 946d0939607fa53bbc76d94f425edd35
Md5sum for CyanogenMod 12.0 (20150501-UNOFFICIAL) --> 4c089a2d7552146078214b2011c2c23c

Thanks, I already saw, but I will not add them. For the reasons I explained in the private message. The main reason is hard to maintain since they aren't my links and old links when there is a new release
thank you very munch . :good:
Well...thank you. Dropbox might not have been the best choice though. You will probably run out of bandwidth and then the links will become unaccessible. I've also got a dropbox account. But there is a reason why I chose not to use it for this. Nonetheless, thank you for opening this thread and offering your support.
PS: if I remember correctly, there might already be a similar thread around here. Not sure if that one's updated though.

Good point about the bandwith. Didn't think about it. But well, I investigate and notice that the bandwith limit of dropbox is very low for the ammount of people present on forum. As far as I'm aware google doesn't have that kind of restrictions. If the bandwith run out I will remove them.
But if people don't have problems with google drive there is no sense in uploading in a new server. But if someone has, report it and I will see what can I do
Ps: @arsradu I never notice on a thread like that to be honest but I'm not saying that doesn't exist

But as I said, that one doesn't seem to be updated anymore. So opening this one was a good decision. Not sure that opening it in the development section was such a good idea though. ) But nonetheless, thank you.
Yes, seems it's not updated. Well regarded to the section I think that this was the appropriated section because, in my opinion, doesn't fit in general section, in questions and much less in themes. But if any moderator disagree on this feel free to move it as you like. I don't mind. The idea was to bring new mirrors for the roms and avoid asking on the respective threads to keep them clean.
Since it happen what arsradu said dropbox mirrors were removed. I don't see much problem on this because as far as I know google drive don't have the limits that dropbox have. So google drive should be enough.
Either way if someone has problems with google drive report it and I will think on another solution to those kind of people and add a second mirror.
Not for criticize (you've done a good job posting roms in other servers just for us, and all of us will be thankful to you ) but in my opinion, the best hosting server is mega.nz
It allow downloads in high speed and it's all free. I repeat, not for criticize you, just an advice (i don't have all this issues with original downloading anyway)

I don't take serious no worries. I open to all sugestions people can give. But the problem here is more the bandwith limit. Dropbox has that problem so I notice that cm11 links were disable. Also the server you said if I'm not mistaken is the old megaupload. Well for what I see mega suffer the same problem as dropbox.
Free account users are provided with one option:
50 GB of storage space (no artificial limits are imposed, but in case of traffic congestion the speed is adjusted to a lower value until the servers are no longer overwhelmed)[28]

As you can see this is a problem. Bandwith. I never expect so many people downloading so probably this limit would be reached as well probably.
Google drive has the advantage of not having this limit as far as I digged. And if t works well for everyone is fine. If not speak up

I think he meant http://mega.co.nz. And it's indeed a great upload service. I'm using it too. The problem is that apparently it doesn't work so well everywhere around the world. I've got awesome speeds with this one and I strongly recommend it. But I'm not sure how well will perform for everyone. Anyway, if you decide to go with mega.co.nz, I would advice you to create an account as well. Don't worry. It's free.
And yes, it also has its limitations. But, the more mirrors you provide, the less the bandwidth consumption on each one of them will be. So it might not be such a bad thing after all to add mega.co.nz as well.
Mediafire would also be a valid alternative. But here the upload speed is the problem. Especially for bigger files such as ROMs or Gapps. The advantage though is that apparently it has a wider availability, popularity and better support on both PC and mobile site versions.

The website I provide is that one. If you see in the source I left on the above post the website is that. As I said is from the same guy that made megaupload. Megaupload had problems with authorities and it was closed. Then months later the creator create the mega.
Yes that's the problem. Without feedback I don't know which server it should be the best. Also we have to take in attention the bandwith of the server. Limits and etc.
For example goo rarelly I got low speeds or problems that people mention. I don't have problems with mediafire, dropbox or google driver. but is like you said. Shouldn't be the case for everyone else. Also without the feedback I can only guess what's better.
Anyway, I will consider adding one more mirror (mediafire, mega or any other suggestion that I come across) in the next couple of days. Thanks for the suggestions : )

Thank you too for the effort. And as a suggestion regarding the feedback you were talking about...well, if you don't try, you'll never know which one is the more appropriate solution for everyone or at least for most of the users. So..go ahead. Try it. The feedback will come by itself.
