how about a new forum for designers to share resources they've made that would be ok to use in apps? xda is a large community with designers around, and it may bring more people to xda putting their artwork up for use.
a forum for artwork, sounds, etc would be useful to both the design community and developers.

A hello across the xda forum,
We're holding a survey on how mobile-app developers market (and monetize) their mobile applications. Its a global survey and focused mainly for app developers. The survey's main purpose is to answer questions like how the mobile apps market is evolving and what will it become in the coming years. This information will help developers better develop, market and therefore monetize their apps.
Would anyone be interested in this kind of research ?
MOD EDIT:
How about you buy the app? Suggesting that users "Patch" a free app to enable the paid features is plain wrong.
XDA takes a very firm stance against all forms of piracy. Posting, linking to, or asking about pirated apps, or how to obtain such apps, is strictly against XDA rules.
As a community founded for and by developers, ripping developers off is not what we stand for.
Thread Closed,
Dear XDA members and developers, in case all of your apps need to be tested, and tested correctly, I would like to introduce my google+ beta community here:
Betaapps
As many of you know, Google implemented beta testing options to the Google Play Market and this option based on google+ communities, where you can invite your testers.
These way have a huge advantage:
1) Users can install your beta application directly from Play Market (they can trust your app more, and they don't need to move *.apk files on the device).
2) You will have a simple bugtracker with crash reports, it should increase quality of received feedbacks.
My community should help developers to share their beta programs and invite testers to their communities. If you have a post on XDA forums with your application beta promo, you also can just share the link to our community to the "Request feedback" section with no worry that it will be removed (even if you don't have any community). There are not so much places where you can find a list of beta testing programs, like in our "apps" section, and I also would like to invite all XDA members who want to be notified about new android apps in beta to join our Betaapps community as a tester.
For now, Betaapps community is growing and it will be very helpful if you will share this community with your google+ circles and other social networks. This forum section could be more effective for developers if they will know how to get more testers.
Actually I have a big plans in beta testing field and my community and I hope that XDA members will enjoy my activities and our work will be help testers and developers meet each other. Welcome for your comments.
* for moderators: It would be great to pin this post in this forum section. I also
can place a link to this post in our community description to help people visit XDA. Thanks!

Welcome - Betaapps community is a part of crowd testing. It's mean that everyone can become a tester and of course you can be invited privately for more interesting projects, if your testing skills are good.
There are a lot of free testing programs there and you can join any of them, by the way I will share some information about other beta platforms where you can find paid projects in "crowd" section. Stay tuned and you will become a part of a big crowd testing project with paid opportunities and other awesome features.
You can also introduce yourselves there, and share that community with your friends. We are looking for active QA professionals there :highfive:
Fill free to ask anything you want to know about Betaapps!

The rules are so users aren't siphoned off to some other site. Any discussion can happen here. This is the development forum.
I've seen people promote their Facebook page or YouTube channel, and it's just a ploy to make money.
You can have closed group testing off site, but don't promote those links publicly. Like, "hey, that other place is where the cool stuff if happening."
I really don't trust anything that's not on XDA, related to my phone. If it's real, it's going to be here.

yep, and that's the "classic" opensource , opendevelopment approach - that should also make sure that everyone benefits and before ran-into issues are documented and fixed
thus others don't have to figure fixes out again (re-inventing the wheel) so it can be focused on new/different issues - otherwise we'll end up at grsecurity-type development (behind closed doors).
Nothing against grsecurity - it's great, but I hate it e.g. when folks take your work and release stuff based on it (e.g. kernels) but don't release the changes back so that you can improve upon that,
which in actuality is a requirement by the GPL
Hello
I have a suggestion : I think it will be better to choose the interest of the community vs single poster interest.
For example in this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3...ent/rom-lineageos-15-1-sgp621-t3871199/page21 the community can't use Z3TC anymore because a single poster doesn't want to share links.
The main goal of XDA must be to help people to use unofficial firmware not censoring posts to make it impossible.
The only redaction that occurred on that page was because a user posted a link to another users project without permission. If a dev doesn't allow others to share their work without permission, it's not censoring, it's following the wishes of developers.
