Hi, i'm a mobile developer and I have an application i sell.
Am i allowed to post a description of the application anywhere in xda forums?
Please ask Mods here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=276306&page=66
The forum rules state:
"If you wish to advertise a product, contact us we provide ads. But do not post it in the forums, it will be removed and you're likely to receive a ban.
You are however allowed to sell used goods like your own device, parts of your device or accessories for your device in the marketplace forum, please read the rules there before posting."
If you are posting an application that has a 100% working free version (not shareware trial period), that should be OK.
But it sounds like you are selling an app, so the simple answer from the Rules is "No".

Hey, I'm new here, and just got a HTC Desire recently, I mistakenly updated to Froyo before I knew that I couldn't root and now I want to try downgrading my HBoot to 0.8 so that I can root.
I want to follow this:
htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2934
But I need a RUU (No idea what it is really) to do that, so I'm looking at this list:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667 but I honestly have no idea how I can see which one I need to download, so can anyone help me out there? Where can I see it on my phone? I believe it's unbranded and all that.
You can't. You're stuffed until someone breaks the new HBoot, which may be never.
mate, i understand you're new, but please read forum rules.
hboot 0.92 is not downgradeable at the moment, as explained on some already opened threads...
unfortunately, you'll have 2 wait.
Well, it looks like someone succeeded in downgrading from 0.75 to 0.66 without doing any such breaking? I'd like to try it just to confirm, what harm can it do? Haven't seen anyone actually having tried that way?
I also did read forum rules, I'm not asking for a way to downgrade it, just asking for some information in how I choose what RUU I need? >.<
no, the rule was to search before posting a new topic.
there's another thread with discussions about this subject: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741672
Aye mate, I did search before, I've been browsing around for most of the day, what I'm asking is how do I see what RUU I need to download for my phone, not how do I downgrade HBoot.
but mate, whichever RUU you get won't fit because you have updated your HBOOT to 0.92. that's what's being discussed in the thread I pointed you...
if you dare reading...
Yeah, I'm reading, and I saw that the method was tried, I'm still interested in what a RUU is
And sorry about that, I only read like around the latest pages, not the first 2, which was the one it was on >.<

RUU stands for ROM Upgrade Utility and it checks your HBoot version prior to installing any ROM.
Hope this helps! )

there's no point in having rules and manuals if people are lazy enough to bypass them every time they have a doubt.
anyway, feeling better now andrea? relieved maybe?
enjoy your week.
lol !
yes dmpwd, I was already feeling quite well, waiting for Paul's rom as many others...i came to delete my post because it was going to be taken negatively, but I like the kindness that comes between the lines of your answers....FYI I am now quite amused, thanks!

Is there not also a rule about flaming?
Would hardly call a copy paste of the rules for flaming..
But if you saw it as that, then i apologize.
Just getting tired of post after post asking the same things by newly registered users.
I wish that reading and searching had first priority, instead of spamming the board with countless new topics.

The rules are there for a reason, let's not forget that! To be honest, these forums are starting to get less and less useful, because of the amount of redundant threads that are being started.
If we had more robust/regular moderation, this would be less of an issue, but it seems we don't have a Desire-owning mod!
Regards,
Dave

this is my point of view and what I was trying to explain, but some people even called me a nazi/idiot for that. that's another rule-breaking activity, but anyway...
hope the OP is happy now.
I wish that reading and searching had first priority, as well as newbie help, instead of producing 2 full pages on newbie behavior, but anyway...

Yeah, and I did search before posting, I think people just got the question "How do I downgrade from 0.92" instead of my original question that asked what RUU I'd need to get for my phone, if it was possible. Lol.
And also, I wonder how the hell this topic got onto rules and stuff like that, so lets just leave it at this
Hi Is there any plands on upgradeing site to VB4?
.
Thread moved. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
I have read the rules what is wrong with posting this topic in genrel chat?
and why will you move my post before just answerig a simple question?
maby other users would like the site upgraded to vb4 aswell?
I own/operate a VB3 forum and a VB4 forum. Unless I'm doing something that specifically requires VB4, like the blog function, I'd much rather use VB3. The depth of support and mods is much better; it's simpler, easier to modify, etc. If I could buy a VB3 license and convert my VB4 forum to it, then I would.
As a new user, I'm glad I found this section and the main rules. Just one question; are we allowed to post referral links to other sites on here? Sorry, I just don't want to be doing anything that could get me into trouble. Thanks a bunch!
Depends...
Not the official word from higher ups, but imo it all depends on the context and motive of posting such links...
If its some referral to a warez site, or something else against the rules - then a strict "no"
If its something like the dropbox referral links, where you get more storage for the number of people you invite - then maybe yes, provided you don't post it in places where it doesn't belong
If by referral you mean those a.d.f.l.y links which place you through a barrage of ads to get to a download link - then no, as xda is not to be used as a means to earn money
As I said, depends...
