Oh thanks man! .
THANKS TO SAMFIRMWARE/ SAMMOBILE we created a custom version of S8500MBUKI1.
Greek and polish lang try!

can you guys here at XDA can try to figure how to add languiges to a firmware
because my languige only at unofficial firmwares (ironcly from samsung israel the firmware) and they are bad very bad versions

Honestly, both parties deserve credit
Yes sammobile deserves majority of the credit for the hard work they did for getting the base rom and then releasing it.
But then since sammobile had the rom first they could have added the missing features from the vodaphone lite rom themselves so no one else can come along
and do it later.
So hakan added the features to the rom and he deserves even just a tiny bit of credit too.
Sammobile were probably were about to customize the rom themselves
and release it but Hakan beat them to it.
Just be gracious to each other because everybody benefits working together.

You should see what that guys did post an day before, its easy to take others work and than say we are the kings. Working together we do already, but not everything is shining like gold as you think. They posted picutres that shows samfirmware with blod. I personally hate such users, one day bad other day best friends.
Mylove90 is able to do this (he done it one day before) but our motto is ORIGINAL Firmwares and not customized, so we the SamMobile Team will never change Firmwares, cause they are always risky for other users.
Anyway we also support others with custom firmwares as yous see, we all are not evil or so. Who cares about it, if some usres burn their phones or make illegal stuff, only developers like i lost the interrest on bada, nothing more will happen, so do it your way how you think that is the best. As i said with this community the interesst every day is lower, let us see how many will stay out there to develop for bada in future.

With every respect and no intention to hurt anyones's feelings, let me make some points clear:
First, larioteo, you should not hate anyone for choosing red color to emphasize an issue.
Second, over 80% of users here are not here for original firmwares. They are here for modified/custom firmwares. The only original and official firmware is from Samsung and not from any one else, be it sammobile or XDA or whosoever.
Third, thanks should go to anyone who contributes in any way, big or small, to satisfy the needs and wishes of forum users. So while thanks go to SamMobile for stealing the beta firmwares, it should also go to hakan5637 who devoted his time to modify it and make it usable. Without modified firmwares, I wonder how many WAVE users will still be interested in bada till now. And without the end users, the developers' existence is not assured.
Fourth, we depend much on SamMobile for releasing of the beta firmwares. We give them plenty of thanks. But they too depend much as well on us. Without us, their site will be useless. So we should recognise that we all are equal partners in this provider-user chain. We need each other in order to survive.
Thanks.

why no one answers me i know the change/add languige is inside the system core and is impossoble to do this because then it can destroy the "core"
but there have to be a way unless how samsung give firmwares with diffrent languiges?

more and more USERS will give up bada ,and the developers too
only samsung himself can save bada
as a user we don't have the freedom to install apps and share apps to each other , and there don't have Enough usefull APPS
bada os can't Recognition appfiles by himself Directly
In our country more and more people give up from love bada to hate it
The reason is too fewer useful APPS
but i like bada i think it's a good OS better than android

Text is in CSC file... visible in folder SystemCSC\String. Read this:

This folder is WRITEPROTECTED because compressed QMD stuff... read also RC1...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928178
Maybe for your Language also other Font needed... NO idea.
Like chinese or arabic letters...
To edit or add Language we have to break into folder SystemCSC\String...
At this time not easy nor someone tried...
It would be usefull for your Language to find ANY Firmware for analyse...
But I have NO time for Language tweaking.
Because German + English is available.
To add ALL Languages makes NO real sense. Because you loose space in memory...
Maybe usefull would be. If we can reduce Languages... to 2 or 3 each CSC...
To have few more Bytes free...
But as no other way known yet... We wait for Compress Algo... Take an look here:

Maybe chance is to edit apps_compressd.bin ... but same problem... Compression Algo not finished. So MUCH harder to change something:

Polaris doesn't work here
And those ring and message tones doesn't exist.
So Hakan, thank you for your work, and could you delete this non working app from system and add or change default tones.
Thanks

Definately not for daily use. Still some bugs and not as fast as 1.2. I'm flashing back to 1.2 right now...

PolarisOffice is working very fine for me.
Though I didn't install from hakan5637 firmware so cannot confirm if the file was corrupt. You can use Wave Remaker to replace the PolarisOffice in SHp.app OSP => Applications folder.This is only so if yours was corrupt.

I think he forgot some .so files. Could you post in what FW Polaris does work?
Thanx

@spacks no for me never he will be a good man until he says officially sorry for that **** he posted before, i am speaking for me here, not for sammobile or others.
And yes without original firmware releases that are in full state, never a custom firmware would come, but the one can coexist next to other, and adding software illegal is in this project the goal.
I am an dev, you know my answer about this, i think it is clear why BADA DEVELOPERS dont like such firmwares, cause they harm in the very end only the bada user, cause no one will be more interersted in bada.
Android is so huge that the big companies don't mind the small thefts but bada is so small that only one such firmware can harm the whole work of an dev, so think twice before using such stuff. See here most devs are running away there is an simple anwer about this. Without supporting devs bada will die, maybe this is an good example for what is more needet.

bada turkiye sucked from the first moment they arrived ... and they will suck in future.

HTC Quietly Brilliant - Start Up WVGA CAB

The files for this Animation was providet by [ElCondor]
So what i did.. because at first i don`t like the Backround colour i modify the backround frames and make them full black and full white without any shadows also clear some pixels and make the animation faster and under 100kb
The final result is really cool looking animation, fast and smooth i think to make diferent colours and styles when i have more time.
Also here is Sound from the Windows 7 Start up but because in diferent ROMs sometimes the Start up sound is with diferent name i will post the sound separate and if anyone like it can just rename and copy in the Windows Folder.
I Already test it few times on my HD and the result is Amazing.
The file TSALTABlackWVGA.cab Including FULL BLACK animation and The Same Welcomehead.png
The file TSALTAWhiteWVGA.cab Including FULL WHITE animation and The Same Welcomehead.png
If you want WelcomeHead like this in the Last image you need to download:
DiferentWelcomehead.Zip unzip the file and copy the file Welcomehead.192.png in your Windows Folder --- NOTE this Diferent Welcomehead is only for the Black Version for NOW.
If you want to use only the Animation then download HTCBlackAnimation.zip

Can you "clean up" the white version aswell?
Yes of course what kind of colour you need? i mean i can do it diferent colour if u want
I can clean it to be Super White or i can make it any diferent colour if u want let me know and i need around 10 minutes to make it
Super White version would be great!
No rush tho. Take your time.
You are ready chek out the 1st post and let me know how run in your HTC i can make it Whiter but i think this is enought white
Nice work
Well done
Excellent stuff! Works great. Alot faster than the previous version.
Thanks alot for that. Appreciated
Yes its faster, clear and lighter Enjoy
Later on when have more time will make diferent colours and maybe not only the backround colour will be diferent can add some more things etc
Just noting something here:
The whole animation is made by me and this guy distributes it without giving me credit.
Let this be clear: I just call this stealing. It took hours to make it, he grabbed it, enhanced it a bit (will be about 2 minutes to do) and uploaded it without asking anything...

ARE YOU CRAZY ?
I Give you Credit and on the same time i did it because im not a NUT what more credit you want? to make you a blow ..j....b ?
1st i was enought nice with you.
2nd i Write with Border that you provie the files for this Animation.
3rd This Animation that i UPLOAD is complate diferent in theAnimation have 64 Frames and REDUCE this GIF ANIMATION CLEAR it and Make it DIFERENT COLOUR also Your file is Over 200KB my File is Under 90KB
So The Peoples Who Already USE your Animation come here and Download this Animation i Spend Around a Hour to FIX this. When you pretend wil be about 2 minutes to do WHY THEN YOU DONT DO IT BY YOURSELF and WHY yesterday YOU ASK ME HOW IM MODIFY EVERY FRAME? Everyone can chek out what we write in the Forum to see for what im talking about. To ask you what...? 1st When i Give you the Animation to use it all was fine But when i post it then this become a problem.?!?!?! I grab it? YOU ANIMATION SUCKS really Its bad Colour Frames SPeed OHHH MYY GOSHH i Stole your PATENT....
Second Im Not Very SURE about that you own Animation Because this HTC Quality Briliant i saw already in few STOCK LEO ROM`s The diference with your Animation is ONLY the FInal WINDOWS PHONE ....
So i can REMOVE IT and you will tell again that you OWN this Animation?
YOU OWN THE RIGHT FOR "HTC Quietly Brilliant" ??? So if i wana make diferent kind of Animation HTC Quietly Brilliant AGAIN i can`t because its your PATENT or what?
Everyone is FREE to make what he WANT and what he LIKE and When Someone can do it Better than you ITS FINE.
Ask for example the member scotia_rfc Who use Your Animation and them come and ask me to make it Whiter and Clear ask him The diference betwen this Animation i Upload and This that you have there.
I was more than a nice with you and also i explain you how to modify everysingle FRAME to make your Animation Lighter and Faster and good Looking at all....
When you pretend is all yours WHY YOU DIDNT do it by yourself? Everyone can TRY and CHEK Witch Animation is Better and CLEAR
IF XDA THINK that im not RIGHT OK im not a HUNKS like you and HERE is Comunity WE ALL TOGETHER TO SPEND AND SHARE.
So I was Enought NICE with you and i give you credits and Like everyone can See i write with BOLD that you provide the files for the Animation... Yesterday all was fine but NOW you can`t SLEEP because YOU CANT LIVE that my Animation is better than your Animation and Come here and Post.. Sh...ts like this!!!
I CANT SPEAK WITH PEOPLES LIKE THIS and I dont wana sound RUDE but you are TOTTALY A NUT
you guys are right, I removed this post.
A 'thanks' is enough, you're doing ike you made it yourself.

Maybe is Not enought that i write your name.. you need to tell you SPECIAL thanks for the reson that i re-build the files myself? and like you can see i NEVER PRETEND THIS IS MY OWN FILES and i wrote that the Files for this Animation are providet by You witch is the TRUTH.. and TRUTH is also that your Animation was SLOW and BAD Colour so i re-build this by myself because i don`t like your Animation how look like on my Phone i cant understand where is the problem? I can`t make something that i like or what? When i re-build it for myself and i saw is better than your post i POST it and u know about that and i write your NAME with BOLD in the post because here may have other peoples like me who want Smoother Faster and nice looking Animation.
Yeah files... okay... i think it's not clear enough, it sounds like I only gave you the 'quietly brilliant' image and not more.
Click to expand...

This is the TRUTH i write Files because this is FILES.. that i get.
Completely different? Just do a compare between these and the ones attached on my thread, nearly exactly the same. Fact remains that you are using the complete animation I made which took more than 3 hours.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This is NOT True.. From how long time you have this POST???? and When Clear the Animation and also don`t forget that i Upload the Files Now you have the same files.. OF COURSE you will say you made them.. then how u pretend that my Files are the same with your files when i Upload the Clear Animation 1st? and When you pretend you know almost everything and this is a job for 2 minutes WHY you don`t do it by yourself for 2 minutes and all will be happy me too and i will not do it by myself will just Download yours.
Because it takes 2 minutes to do it for ONE resolution. I have to make it for 4, and also the white ones. And I do not need to update it so many times because it's simply a waste of time.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I speak for the same so u are telling right now that you can do all this 4 times 2 minutes each time = 8 minutes total + 2 minutes Upload = 10Minutes total Im asking you WHY then when all this is for 10 Minutes your Post is ONLINE from 6 DAYS not Minutes.
Then everything went fine, untill you made this thread.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So everything was fine untill i upload the Animation.. witch mean when the peoples don`t have what to compare of course will not know with for sure do this is Good or its BAD..
But when this person who download the Faster Animation he saw the diference and now there have a problem because NOW he can see that this Animation is better.
you haven't explained me anything, I know how to modify every frame with photoshop but I was just wondering how to change it when you don't have the PSd file. I am not a noob, otherwise I coul have not been able to make this animation - which obviously many people like, downloaded more than 4000 times.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Many Peoples Like with SURE 4000 Downloads but they don`t have what to compare so don`t tell me right now that the Peoples LOVE Grey PIXELS animation than FULL BLACK.
MY FALES are totally DIFERENT from your FALES if anyone download BOTH and compare will see the Diference then why u pretend its your FILES AT ALL?
If Someone Make a NOT WORKING CAR with Defect for example Mercedes SLK and then Other Person make the Same CAR Mercedes SLK to work perfect what is this? Can this person pretend WOW you took my car???? NO he can`t because he DIDN`T MAKE A CAR THAT WORK.
I WILL NOT COMMENT ANYMORE TOO this is the FACTS
Wow, you guys both need to grow up!
Hi tsalta and [ElCondor]
The fact of the matter is you are both posting modifications of material that has been copyrighted by other people (HTC and Microsoft). Neither of you could claim any kind of ownership over the images over which you are now squabbling.
Additionally, this is a forum where members post their work, making it public and while it is polite to provide credits/attribution (see my threads as an example), once you have posted something you have no control over how other members use it. If you have posted original material that is subject to copyright and/or a creative commons licence, and if you are earning enough, you can ask your lawyer to ask them to remove any material that might be "stolen". In this case, neither of you can steal something from the other when you have both in fact stolen the material from somebody else (as per first sentence above).
Finally, nobody wants to read your ridiculous arguement with each other so I suggest you continue via PM if at all.
Best wishes

Wow, can't a moderator settle this?
Here's my opinion:
This situation seems to be similar to when someone "skins" a work originally created by another. From what I've seen on here, the person who enhanced the original work usually makes it clear that their work is only an ENHANCEMENT or MODIFICATION and includes a link to the original creator.
So I think it's only fair that tsalta edits his first post to make it more clear that his work is a modification and post a link to ElCondor's original post, which is at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=587867.
My opinion is only based on your exchanges and original threads...I have no idea what ElCondor had to do to create his work and what tsalta had to do to create his work, so my opinion could be wrong. I hope you guys can work it out.
EDIT: looks like andrew posted clearer information about these works while I was typing...

I Aree with you too and this is what im saying. The reason to don`t write that he made the Files is very simple because he really didn`t make the files that are uploaded here on this post.
Also i dont have any problem at all so like i say i made it for myself and then decide that i can share with other peoples who like it.
Anyway we are not kids here and i really think this is more than stupid for this Reason... The Moderators to remove this Thread and all to be fine.
All i want is to make better animaton like you can see i don`t win anything from this only headache and crazy conversation....
just a little bit explanation about the first idea & work from elcondor in your thread to skin htc stuff would be nice to him but guys ,i have the same thing in the past,just stop it and come back on topic,give the credits to elcondor and thanks for the work you also made,the best thing is to work togheter and not to fight on the same work
Moderator please clean up this thread

YES i want and mean the same i never pretend anything im just saying the facts so He Made the files and i saw it from him but i make them better and also i tell him about this and explain to him how to do it etc and he say Its Super he will edit the other files too and all was fine until the other day when he come and start to write in this Thread like i STOLE something...
Like andrew-in-woking we Both Stole something and here the 80% are stolen things if we think like this because we use corporate Logos and etc without official permission.
Also in this case we Are Both Right because The GIF Animation is Animation made from alot Images frame by frame.. so He made the Animation Its True but Its True also that This Animation is diferent from his because all 64 Frames are Edited not only one Image and on the final we Both are RIGHT and when all the Frames are diferent this is complate diferent animaton but i never pretend i do it by myself like everyone can see i write in the 1st post that He Provide the Files for that Animation and i write What exactly i to.. modify clear faster and thats it. No Need to fight

[Q] Totally Kill WinMo??

Is there a way to whip WinMo off the device and just run droid??
Yes droid has it's issues, but as long as I have wifi,gps and txting functions, I'm pretty much fine..lol
SOund wouldn't hurt but I think in the near future it will get fixed.
Any help??
as of now, no.
but i do got an idea that came to me the other day to make it a faster boot into wm so it wont stay there long. if it actually works, i dont know since i still like wm and dont feel like trying it out.
ok, here is what i thought of.
1. Install "HD Tweak" (google it or search xda)
2. Launch HD Tweak and go to section 12. startup (i beileve its what is called) and disable the startup animation and sound. and then close the program, if it ask you to restart DONT.
3. Go to settings and disable HTC Sense (or what ever your running) and have nothing checked on the boxes so its just pretty much the background as your home.
4. Go to file explorer (or what ever you use) and then go to the andboot file (or what ever you have it under) and create a shortcut and put the shortcut into the \Windows\Startup file
5. Restart your phone and hope it works.
what might also help is if your have a fast ROM that starts up on boot and if possible do a hard reset and dont install nothing so it will keep a fast speed and maybe boot. then follow the steps mentioned above.
just remember that this is just an idea so i dont know if this would actually work or if anything would happen to your phone. if it does work and you want to use wm again then just take out your sd card so the shortcut to haret wont work and wm should continue from there.

So this is to boot Android without booting into WinMo??
Looks interesting.
Gotta work in a bit and really don't have time to experiment right now but I will try it out and see what happens. Could it make me a new paperweight by chance??
Edit: Just did it...waiting for boot....HTC screen.....kk..Booted into WinMo but with Haret running...idk..Here's some shots

If the shots arrnt clear enough I can explain em..lol
But yea...I followed the directions and got that..lol
I'm running the Energy rom..Theres like 5 things in my startup folder..should I take em all out and just leave Haret in?? And also, wouldn't Haret need a way to get directed to the kernel and stuff for droid?? Also..Was I supposed to add the Haret.exe file???? I looked for the andboot folder and I didn't add it to my sd card..All my files for droid were inside it and I just copied and pasted all of em out to my SD card.
This is interesting..Maybe we should start tinkering..lol
haha well you almost had the idea but you messed up. you werent supposed to copy the haret itself but where ever you have it located long click it and maybe in the normal file explorer it lets you create a shortcut (dont remember since i installed a cab called file explorer extension which gives it more options). with that short cut, move it over to the startup folder. and just in case make a copy of your startup.txt and rename the copy default.txt so if the start up ever ends up getting corrupted then you can just click on the run button.
but my theory shouldnt make your phone into a paperweight because all your really doing is just disabling your home to plain and adding a shortcut, nothing could make it a paperweight in general but haret still does have a verrrrryyyy little chance to make something go wrong which you should already know.
but my way doesnt kick wm out since it still needs to boot up to see the haret shortcut in the startup folder. just makes it quicker to boot into android on alot faster
Don't want winmo? Buy a driod phone. I don't think we will ever have sound on out Tilt2 with andriod.
some of us tried nand boot on the tp2. You can read on ppcgeeks.
It can and will be done
lot of changes to do to the kernel but yea.. it will be done.
If all goes well I should have one of these devices to test and hack on. Once I do I'll try my best to get android flashed to nand. How far is along is the android port for this phone? I'm getting the CDMA Sprint variant for very cheap.

But only if Android is deemed useable enough for day to day use I guess. The main problem is that almost all the devs have moved to HD2 android development, so apart from the in call volume fix we haven't seen a new functionality for at least 3 months (GPS), and no major breakthrough for ages. The only ones actively developing for TP(2)/TD(2) are working on the new topaz board and getting it to run on the Xperia IMHO and some dudes that reefermatters is in contact with, although reef hasn't posted an update from them for 2 weeks now
I really hope android will run smoothly on the TP2, but honestly I think we will never get it to work properly
Let's hope for a miracle soon

you are preaching to the choir my friend. I'm one of the devs working on the tp2. Jonpry is still attacking sound and phh lending a hand as well. Fyi this is really nothing to do with android. All we do is kernel dev.

Right now we are craping out during the usb init. So we will be testing a custom kernel soon. I'm reading up on the diamond boards since they seem to have gone over all of this.

Where could one take a look at the source for the kernel. I've been meaning to dive in and see if I could lend any assistance for a while. I figure I'm going to be stuck with the TP2 for a while (sprint user on sero, so no chance to get an evo) - so figure I should put some of my coding abilities to good use and give back some to those who've helped open my eyes to Android

PPCG for now. We have a thread there. I'll make a buzz once we see android come up. Right no its too early to celebrate.

IGO MyWay Android - external SD card

Galaxy S - how to put dem files, buildings, maps, pois etc to external SD card. Well, that can save some time MB from internal SD memory. You need: ROOT, SU, and file commander which can enter some folders as root.
First, there is a need to look on located in internal SD file - sys.txt:
in section: [folders] there is line:
content="%SDCARD%/iGO/content"
after changing it to:
content="%SDCARD%/external_sd/iGO/content"
and after moving the folders: dem, map, poi, buildings to the external_sd/IGo/content IGo will... not work.
There is second sys.txt file, located in \data\data\com.navngo.igo\javaclient and this one must be same as first one.
After that - voila, several MB is free on the internal SD

Sorry, but contrary to YOUR friends, I didn't posted the sys.tst (assuming your position, it should be with some mp3, to increase its weight) as two separate files: original and corrected to the server which requires premium account or which makes profits to uploader. Maybe this is because I have normal work, and such things are my hobby, again, contrary to YUOR friends, not primary source of income.

Why don't you answer in that thread, since you still think that Ramad is making money off the users by uploading to multiupload sites. Is there any proof based on your claim? I guess YOUR friend had already made enough to buy 2 new phones just by the downloads he put up. Why 2? You go figure...

@ spamtrash,
Going back to the topic:
I cannot find the file sys.txt . Not in the root of the internal SD , also not in the iGo folder.
I was thinking about applying the changes on sys.txt file located at data\data\com.navngo.igo\javaclient and then copy/paste it on to the root of internal SD (or shall I place it in the iGo folder?) but shall I remove the existing lines at sys.txt in section [folders]:
Code:

secondary_root_path="iGO"
has_secondary_root=1
those are the only lines there by the way...
Or just add the new lines?

One question: show me please ONE server between the multiupload links, which is NOT donating the uploader. Single one, please?
Otherwise, I'd have to add: hypocritical liar to the greedy.

You are accusing someone, and yet you are asking the accused to show proof? Are you from stone age? Withdraw? No apologies? Wow, a real eye opener for me, I must say.

The proff: so called "free" multiupload link of Ramad: http://www.multiupload.com/LZQB839QHP does not contain any single free link. It contains instead:
Rapidshare;
Megaupload;
Depositfiles;
Hotfile;
zshare;
uploading
links, and NONE of them is free. You have to buy a premium account, otherwise - you are donating the uploader. Period.
If you want more proofs - check the Ramad's tread.
And please stop cheating directly to the eyes, ok? As I said - pure hypocrisy

If what you said is true, then they would have advertised like filesonic or fileserve which Ramad had showed the proof. Just show me the adverts from those sites saying that you can make money and in your words, I will withdraw from this. Tell you what, i'll even throw in an apology.

Just follow the link, smart guy who do not know anything, this is the link from Ramad's tread. And, download the file from Megaupload, first time in your life, kiddo.
So, please carefuly read Multiupload's terms of services, especially the point 1.1: "...The Services operate by sending and storing the specified User File on external Web sites, file storage services not maintained by Multiupload.com (collectively "Third Party Services"), on behalf of the User. The links to control the User File on the Third Party Services will be stored on Multiupload.com and then Multiupload.com will display and/or email two generated unique links to the User. The User(s) can then access the download links to download the User File from the Third Party Services by clicking on one of the unique generated links"
In simple words, as it seems that you are very resistive to facts and knowledge: no single file is maintained on Multiupload's servers, they are providing one unique link to the files stored by third parties. In this specific Ramd's case, as stated previously, none of these third party is free, and all are providing offer to buy premium accounts or downoad while donating the uploader.
This time: have you understood? If not, please ask someone adult, they shaould be happy to explain some base facts to you.

Where I have used: adverts? I stated: users are donated by the servers providers, like the Hotfile, for the downloads.

That's ok ! I created the sys.txt(copy/paste) and placed it, and...it works! THANKS

[App] Voice translator

Hi everybody!
I've spent a day on the last long weekend and wrote a simple voice translator with speech-to-text and text-to-speech capabilities. Truly, I did it because I was confused a little of this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1352006 . OP treats his app too "top-secret and classified", and put a lot of limitations and restrictions for XDA members. But that kind of app is very simple; there is no know-how or some proprietary technologies involved: all apps (of this kind) are using undocumented Google's speech-to-text and text-to-speech APIs (but very well documented on internet forums! )
Also, AFAIK, most of 'em are using FlacBox project's code but without reference to project page and author's copyright!
I'd like to announce a completely free application (but ad-based); everybody are welcome to beta-test (marketplace version will be released soon after XDA slight beta test).
App has no limitations or restrictions but if you can't hear translation or recognition is not working for your language, it's not a my fault but just not supported by Google's APIs.

"No" and "yes" I wrote this app yesterday, just after finishing reading your topic. I was a little confused: you are drastically promoted your app on the one hand but refused of beta testers on the other hand... XDA isn't free beta-testers place or advertising area; it's a community of enthusiasts and homebrew developers. So I decide to give a chance to "unlucky" XDA members to get the same app for free, without limitations and restrictions. BTW, I can afford to spend 10 hours of my time for community needs (but my wife disagrees with me! )

Hmm. About 80 people (at least) are downloaded xap from the first post but only few rated app and left response on the marketplace (as I've asked)
Hey, XDA members, nobody is asking for your money or complicated movements, just provide your appreciation! It takes not longer than one minute...
P.S. I wasn't 100% sure what the "common" xda member is a lazy greedy "freeloader" even when I've collected money for Cotulla's test handset and only 12 people donated... But now I'm going to change my mind

Hey man, don't stress too much about it. I know what you feel, we had 100+ "private beta testers" and only 10 responded with feedback the others only asked for the app and never heard of since. Thats the way it works, and some maybe want to do some more experiments before they rate and give feedback. I have not downloaded it yet, just saw this thread and it looked interesting.
Ill check the app out later this week (as Im doing quite some stuff in multiple languages it might be usefull to me) and will rate it. Maybe you have to tune up the logos and the UI a bit (metro style bubbles??) so you will not get critized for that. As I also found out WP7 owners tend to not update their reviews so you will get bashed for inital bugs/ui glitches pretty much permanently.
But thanks for the hard work of the development. I am truely looking forward to what you can come up with in the future with this app.
Keep it up and don't worry too much about it, the people that are interested will show their support, the ones that don't well they don't.
Marvin, thanks for good words! Of course, my criticisms don't apply to you, as well as dozens of busy developers here on xda (also, we have a lot of students and they are very busy now). You know, I helped to lot of people here, and people are helped me too. Actually it's an only thing keeps me on XDA
I'm not an angry or stressed (it's a forum's smiles ); just want to blame people who treats xda like a "warez" or "free stuff" place. But it isn't (at least on my opinion).
Of course I'll continue my work on the funprojects ('cause it's my hobby and not about money) and will continue to help the good people here.
Not all of us are like that! I left both of you feedback/bug reports, sorry to hear that many don't though. I can imagine as a dev that would be frustrating..

Thanks, man, I know and appreciate that! Fortunately there are lot of a real industry enthusiasts and responsible people here (but of course not all have a time to read all topics).
But take a look to the first post, 161 people are already downloaded app v 1.1 from XDA (app has much-much more downloads now from the marketplace but I don't care about mp strangers). I believe there are no strangers or casual visitors here on XDA so most of 'em are XDA members and reading these forums regularly, and I've asked for very tiny thing (and never asked for 5 stars or good review only - no, I need a people's real opinion) but only few people (let's say, 6 at day one, most of 'em my XDA friends) are rated and left reviews... It's kinda disappointing...
Haha yes, also scoobysnacks it was not directed at you.
But back on topic. It seems to crash for me when I copied a translated text (dutch to spanish) than exit the app trough taskswitcher to go to whatsapp. When i come back with the taskswitcher it will show resume... (is it not mango ready?) and than crashes. Dont know if its consistent, but it just happened. Which is unfortunate since I like to use it in combination with whatsapp eg.
Also, could you implement onfocus --> textbox2.SelectAll so i can easily copy all text when clicking the textbox with the translation. As I will use that a lot.
But it works pretty good, the google api does a good job at recognising. And you built it well. The hold to speak is indeed very smart and works intuitive.

XDA Gallery - Chrome Extension - Now on Chrome Store

What is it:
This is a quick extension I coded up to turn XDA threads into an image gallery. The extension button will enable when you're on a topic that it is able to translate, clicking it will open a new tab that dynamically fetches images as your scroll down. Keep in mind this is an Alpha, did it in one day, so it may ( read "most likely" ) will have problems. Its great on those "Post your screenshots" ( wallpapers, cases, whatever ) type threads.​
Permissions:
- "Access your data on forum.xda-developers.com" - This is to fetch images from the forum, I haven't messed around with removing it since I was just using this personally but decided to release to you. Promise I don't care, nor gather, anything about what you do on XDA.
- "Access your tabs and browsing activity" - This is to detect when you switch between tabs and enable/disable the extension button. Also I do have this hooked into Google Analytics now, but I only gather extension page views to see what's being used. In the future I'll be hooking it into events as I add features( if it's popular enough ) to decide where to put my efforts. No personal information is collected.
- "Storage": Allow extension to save Extension Settings.​
How to Install:
New: Added to official Chrome store now just add via https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/xda-gallery-beta/bohmnlfnbncjhpjagccfgblhcdgicdnp​
Reporting Bugs:
If you'd like to report bugs then please give me the thread you had an issue with, and if you can narrow it down to an image then link to the post containing that image ( if it's working, there is a link under each image to bring you to the post. ).​
What's Next:
Currently the extension will start showing images from the forum page you launched it from. Going to implement a way to jump to the beginning or specific page.
Implement scrolling upwards to load the previous pages images, this is needed for the next item.
Lots more ideas for "community" type features But gotta get the basics hammered down first!
Change Log:
3/15/2013
Added an "Advanced" options section allowing you to override the number of images and fetch all of them. ( If it doesn't work correctly on some thread blame mon5trum, he requested it )
Some bug fixes
3/9/2013
Now when viewing images in the popup you can click to view prev and next, or just use the arrow keys to navigate!
New Extension Settings page, styled to blend in and match chromes style for settings.
Setting to adjust the minimum number of images to fetch( Careful here as it wont render any images until it finds at least this number, could take awhile if you try and use on a thread that doesn't have many images ).
Setting to turn on debug mode ( Will show logging in the Chrome console. NOTE: I'd leave this disabled unless you need to troubleshoot an issue as it could slow down logic a bit )
3/7/2013
Lots of fixes and enhancements in this one.
First off, thanks to Pooley! He is an awesome guy, and very talented. Thanks to him with have a great, professional looking icon!
Aspect ratio is now respected
Added image zoom capability
Now identify images with broken links and shows in small window( as to not break scrolling functionality for now )
Images should also layout nicely in a column format
Fixed quite a few bugs( hopefully without creating new ones )
Hmmm... seems like there should be more, but I'm too lazy to look at my commit log, so just check it out
3/2/2013
NEW: Now on the official Chrome Web Store
Starting to work on the look a bit, its still pretty ugly lol... What can I say, graphic design isn't my thing, but it'll get better
1/27/2013
Pretty much a complete rewrite
Fixed loading duplicate issues
Better error handling( Will tell you when it's reached the end of the thread )
Asynchronous loading should now be working correctly
Do you find this useful? Click the Thanks button to send me some encouragement... Or if you're feeling really generous buy me a redbull to keep me going at the keyboard ( If not, no worries, it's hardly expected )​

Like I stated in the OP, it's really hard for me to help you unless you give me the forum topic URL that you tried to open with the extension. Get me that and I can take a look at what's going on.

Didn't use anything that would exclude Linux, I'll have to look into that.
Been awhile since I updated this, but did a complete rewrite of the extension, should now be working much better. Replaced attachment with new extension and added changelog in the OP.
Now in the official Chrome Web Store Click here to install
That's an awesome feature mate !

Awesome !
Definetly Cool!
The first thing you should fix is to show the pictures in the correct ratio cause at the moment it looks like this:
Hope I voted correct in the poll

Yea, that would be awesome... I'm sure it'll come eventually( *fingers crossed* )
It doesn't work if the page contains a gif. But gifs are shown in the gallery though.
Example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38762538#post38762538. And i think sometimes it also happens if a gif is present in a user's signature.
--edit--
It's working now. Seems to be haphazard.
Chrome store just told me Android not supported...

Ok here is the icon. first attempt. zip contains psd + png (512, 38, 19).
Will try another way as I don't see clearly the pic on 19x19 res. But it's a first try, tell me more about color, about shapes what do you eventually like to see in the icon.
FYI no active/inactive as the inactive will be the greyscaled version of the active one
OK second try
I like this one (minimalist and easely recognizable even in 19x19) what do you think ?
Also attach a zip with psd + png (512, 38, 19) ON/OFF mode
