I don't know if I'm allowed to post this here, in fact people will probably poopoo me for it, but...
I found this site for free paid apps. Now, I use this for testing purposes only really. Before I go out and buy an app I'd rather see what it looks like. The site is here, and while it's nice that it's free you might want to watch what you're downloading. You don't know 100% if it is the app (or a virus/scam, etc.) that you wanted so make sure it doesn't have access to anything you wouldn't want while installing.
If I'm not allowed to post this, sorry. This is just for information purposes. Again, I use it to try before I buy.
I believe your not allowed but if ur using it for testing purposes did u kno there's a full refund on purchases within 24 hours of buying it from the market?

*sigh*.. It's like asking for permission to ask a question. You'd be best off asking here directly.. Developers tend to have different strengths and weaknesses

You should at least describe what kind of app is that
If I were to say openly then it would give someone else the opportunity to make the same app and the Dev (if there is one) who would agree to make it wcould lose out even if only on the credit for making it.
Im guessing in order to get help you can't automatically presume that most developers are d*cks who steal ideas from other people.
Now you are putting words into my mouth. Not really helpful that. Though the vast majority are not there is always a small number who plagiarise as is seen in the market. Now may I thank you for your comments as I await an answer.
I'm guessing you wont pay them either? I think developers might be reluctant if they feel that after hearing it, they might get in trouble for deciding they wont go ahead (I've been in that situation before)
As a developer... what? I have no idea what you're on about.
If you want a developer you need to:
1. Make available information about what you want developed.
2. Pay someone (a reasonable sum), or have a genuinely interesting project. The later being substantially less likely than the former.
Yeah...even if I pm'd you for information, and then decided I can't proceed on developing it... isn't it the same? I would have heard your idea anyway, so you're better off saying it directly. ;-)
Or... you could apply for a patent on it if you fear there are lots of thieves here lmao

OK thanks for all the replies I will put my idea to a Dev forum that welcomes them.
Guys, please try and keep this on-topic without resorting to flaming the moment I close this tab.
@OP, XDA is all about sharing and working together to achieve common goals. As a result, developers here tend to work best when others can get involved. This kind of post pops up now and then, but these ideas usually end up unfulfilled due to the lack of information available.
And remember this is people's hobby, not necessarily their job, so most people aren't about to commit to making an app when they have no idea what it is. If it's not interesting to them, they likely won't want to do it.
awww sulky wulky. Hey any devs wanna build an app for me? I'm selling it but won't pay for it, and have no way of supporting it further down the line? No? Didn't think so. Flan.

How would you know if the developer that you share the idea will not simply use it for his own profit?
This is xda-developers (a developer community) and I never heard about a case of stolen ideas here.
If you'd like to find some help implementing an idea, you should at least describe the developer profile, technologies,...
i.e. I'm looking for a developer to build a simple 2D game that connects to a website to load pictures using http protocol.... No previous experience required, All source code should be sent to me and I'll share the profits.... please PM me for details.
You can try rent-a-coder and, for a fee you have your idea implemented.
Your arrogance is not welcome here pal.
Good luck with your idea.
I make a post offering to give someone my idea for an app that if they can make they can do what they like with and I get flamed for it. I am not a Dev, I am very new to Android OS. I see a need and think someone may find it easy to meet that need so try to make it known so an individual may even if the want profit from it. And for this I get called arrogant and told I am not welcome.
And as for the trolling I will not comment.

good luck, you won't find any! you come here asking for someone willing to do some stuff for you you won't tell them about before they agree to do it? lol! why should ANYONE agree to that. i, for one, am not interested on this conditions. also, this here (xda & android) is about community development, open source and therefore open ideas where everyone can profit.
if you wan't to sell the app then hire some dev for 20$/h but then you are indeed @ the wrong place here. otherwise just tell everyone about your idea and IF it's interesting, some people might pick it up...
Go and ask an iPhone dev if you wanna behave like that...not because youd fit in being a wanker but because they're much more commercially minded. It's funny in your original post you kinda imply most people working in this section and putting out material are not 'proper devs'. This is xda and this is open...people suggest apps all the time and people make it for free and maybe include ads or small charge to cover there costs, see lag fix, noled and galaxy s sim unlocker on market. You can be like the idea makers from there and just go 'that covers my needs and it's cool' or you can merrily skip along to an iPhone dev who is all profit.

So let's make it clear: you are offering the dev the idea and if he realizes it, all profits would go to him? He will publish it and everything? So why don't tell it straight away, if it's interesting someone will do it. Even if 2 or 3 people do it, there will be 2 or 3 apps for the same purpose. So what? How many im clients or gps navigation software are on the market, and still coming out? Do you think only one of them is getting money and the others don't? Users also like to have choice...
However you should at least tell what kind of skills are required? 2/3d gaming? Databases? Web connection? Kernel hacking? I think even if you aren't a developer yourself it shouldn't be difficult answering these questions... at least you are selecting potential candidates... that would be the minimum requisite for posting such requests, how can I know if I could do it if I don't even know what skills are required? Not all developers have the same background you know...

Well that's just the problem. You haven't put your idea to this forum.
I bet it was a clock widget.
Guys,
This one has gone way off topic based largely on assumptions which is very unfair on the OP.
Closing this now.

You are not going to dev it by the sounds of it, so it is really not up to you to keep such a project closed, isn't that exactly what you are asking to happen anyway? ( have another dev make it for you. )
You are coming on a forum, asking if any dev is willing to work on a secret project... ?
If there is money involved, and thus a reason for secrecy, do mention it.

More like a pink flashlight.
PSA: i dont know him and hell i havent even donated yet (though I should). So apparently he got banned. I don't know why. It's said he posted links to paid ROM sites, I'm not sure what that even means.
Regardless, I've found his kernels to be the best and here's the straight link to download them: People should still be able to access them. Im kinda concerned whether just linking it to his site which has banner ads like every other place makes this thread a bad idea.
hopefully he and XDA can solve their or explain how he violated their TOS. I really dont care if he posts links to paid stuff, the kernels that work far better than anything else are free to download. he seems to get a rough treatment here straight from the beginning.
You have to realize, the dude is pissed off now.
Do you want to download a virus kernel? If so download away...

that never even ocurred to me because that would be such a dumb idea if he wanted to go that route. if people are worried about that i can re-host BFS 6, 9 and 11. but i cant imagine what would possess someone to **** over people who actually wanted to benefit from his work over a 3rd party medium like the XDA forum. Maybe im naive, has that happened before?
First of all I want to apologize if I posted in the wrong area. If so please let me know where it will be moved to. I have been looking around the site a lot lately on how to root my slide and I must say this has became a daunting task! I have all but given up. So here I am with a proposal. I'd like to pay someone from Southern New England to root my device.
If anyone is interested please feel free to pm me your price, location, and a phone # to call or text.
Thanks guys! This is a great site, keep up the good work!!!
so i see that lots of people have looked at my post...no feedback. kinda sucks!
I wouldn't trust s sending a phone to a stranger
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
ya im not gonna send my phone to anyone. i wouldnt mind meeting in a public place or going to someones place to do the root. im willing to travel im just so done with trying to do this on my own.
I'll help you over the phone. : )
I'll have you rooted in no time.
Paypal me after.
PM if interested...
Or if that might turn hugely expensive just shoot me your gmail/yahoo/(Instant messenger of choice) and I'll help that way.

Dont pay someone to do this, you will learn nothing on your own. follow one of the tutorials and you should be fine.
Make sure that you format your sdcard to fat and then go for it.
Easiest walkthrough I have found http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.p...-_HTC_Slide#exploid_method_for_OTA_1.35.531.1
learn something, dont trust others, no one should charge you to do it over the phone!
Agreed tht xda is not a place to make money....but a little change doesnt hurt right? ....some devs really deserve something for their awesome work ....and b4 u mention donating , i wanna say tht not everyone can donate ....mere students like myself dont have paypal a/c or credit cards.......this is just a random thought tht came to my mind....i mean developers have made the site what it is today...surely they could do with such linking ....

I am very sure this rule will not be changed. If you can't donate money, then donate your time helping others here. Put up a donate button on your profile that links to a dev you like so others can make a donation on your behalf. Not literally as the system doesn't work that way, but virtually.
Edit: I believe that it would never be allowed for legal liability reasons after thinking further. What if one of those was a scam, and XDA had allowed it to be published? In our over-litigious society, it is sometimes better to disallow an activity for all rather than allow the chance of abuse by the few that could jeopardize the whole system.

hell i do tht bro ....
Sites like the one that everyone uses (3 letters, dot, two letters), are a scourge on the internet...
Sure, it gets you a few cents for every thousand clicks, but it subjects anyone without an adblocker to a pile of obnoxious ads, and delays everyone by 5 seconds per link...
Imagine if that service was to go down, or be hacked... If the database is lost, all the links posted using it are useless! Nobody can convert from the paid referral link to the original contents, so the links are dead...
For this reason, plus the fact that it pisses everyone off to see these links in use (and it goes entirely against what XDA is about - sharing, and doing this for fun), such affiliated links are not permitted.
If users are in need of some free space to store ROMs etc, then check out http://d-h.st/ (Dev-Host). Anyone who's a recognized contributor/themer/developer can get their account upgraded for free if they check out the thread in the Recognized X area
I'm currently posting this here because the Epic 4G Touch fascinates me the most thus far, so hopefully this is the right place to start this thread.
This is my first post on XDA; But I have been following this website for over a year ..
I would like to offer my services (as a senior graphics designer) for any developer that is in need. I currently
have 12 years experience of graphics design in my back pocket.
I can do a few services for free, as long as it is in my time frame.The reason I bring up my time frame is because I'm
employed by quite a few companies and can get pretty swamped with work.
message me to see my work and to set-up a schedule if interested.
--Apparently I can't post pictures of my work considering I'm well off from the 10 post count :/
This sounds like a job posting. I would say this is the first time on xda I have seen anyone post their resume and say they do some free work. Don't get me wrong devs spend tons of time on the ROMs and I am happy to donate to their time. But it sounds like your asking a dev team and regular users to look at your resume and pay you for work?

Absolutely not doing this for money or looking for work, sorry if my post came off as that. Some dev's might want a particular style they want to incorporate into their projects hence looking at some of my work might inspire new ideas. As stated, I get pretty swamped with work. I'm offering free services when I have free time. A few free services meaning: smaller projects at the moment, if asked to hold-up something big, I won't be able to sacrifice my time. If of course, I get more free time, I can be involved a bit more. Just taking one small step at a time.
