Develop Bugs

Request To Developers!!!

HI to all developers on XDA ! I hope you all are fine! I just wanted to request you guys that If possible then can you upload your future roms to megaupload ??? because it has got resume support! you know on unreliable connections its very risky to download files greater than 100mb without resume support!
Myself and a lot of other people around here will be very thankful to all of you!

Anything that's not RapidShare is great, because they always seem to be “full”.

the reason we upload to rapidshare is so we can get points for the downloads of our files, which we can convert to getting us premium priviledges, it will allow us to store the files on the server till the premium status expires.

mediafire ftw

I've files on my MediaFire account since it began, waaaay back

http://www.multiupload.com/ or torrent

Or, like regular developers, we could upload them to sites actually meant for hosting code, sourceforge, github etc.

If We try then everything is possible! Anyways all other file hosts EXCEPT RAPIDSHARE are GREAT!!! Atleast BETTER than rapidshare.

Yeah, you can argue with it. Rapidshare is so slow and unstable that every time I want to download anything from there I just wanna hang myself

using BETA 3 right now, all things work great, but little bit slow.
also the Chinese working fine and Chinese input is also fine.
just can not as its' original use chinese to search in phone function...
it still great.

I can't use repidshare either, it never lets me connect, but some people use it fine, especially if you are a premium user.

try jdownloader. java cross platform, set it up and hav it running in tray. whenever you come across a rs link just copy it to clipboard, open jdownloader and confirm, then just wait, no more interaction. you don't even have to open the rapidshare website in your browser.
edit: works for ~100 hosters, not only rapidshare. really great tool, i use it at the time.

FREE hosting for ROM creators

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.

Why not host files as torrents?

Hi all developers!
One thing I have thought about for a while is, why do you upload ROMs and other files to uploading sites like Rapidshare? For me who doesn't have a Rapidshare Premium account this means a lot of waiting.
Just thinking, why not create a torrent of the files? I suppose 99% of everyone here has a torrent client, and if not, uTorrent is not that hard to install .
This would also help the speeds alot, I would at least happily help you seed the files here on my 100/100 fibre connection.
Just some thoughts..
EDIT:
Also I would like to say thanks to all you developers, you do a great job!

Because downloading torrents to phone would be harder than just downloading the files from a FTP or a hosting site!
Just my opinion...

i think thats a good idea!
hate rapidshare n all those sites.....most of the time i download the file on my computer anyway n then transfer it to my sd...

This. I personally download ROM's straight to my phone, unless I can be arsed to edit them first. The wait of 40 seconds to download a file is nothing really. Plus using the author's Rapidshare accounts could actually benefit them.

Yea same here, never thought about downloading to the phone directly tbh. So much easier to do on the computer .
Still, why not use both? The torrent would at least be a great mirror.

It would be really show for the first few people downloading the file, then a lot of people would just download the torrent and not upload anything so it would end up downloading at the upload speed of the creator
Plus it means a lot more uploading

Well thats just bad behaviour by the leechers then...
The good thing with torrents is that the developer don't have to seed at all, just provide the .torrent. Then someone who downloaded it elsewhere can seed it for him (or her.. ). Like I said, I can provide 100 mbit/s up speed at my home and I am sure a lot of other users here would help out too

To be fair, it's a lot of hassle for developers to set it up on a tracker to just get downloads.
File hosts like RapidShare and MediaFire etc, you're always going to get a good download speed so what difference does waiting 30-40 seconds make?

Hehe, I'm maxing out like 100-200 KB/s from Rapidshare and nearly 12 MB/s using torrents...
I'm sorry but I can't see the problem, it is definetly not more work to create a .torrent file (just use a public tracker). The .torrent file is so small that it won't be a problem to host it somewhere, maybe even directly on the forum.

Cause that would mean a lot of people just downloading from the developer. With a .torrent you could spread out the files in a much better way and distribute the bandwidth.
But like I said, these are just mine $(2*10^-2)...

Wouldn't matter, first upload the torrent to a (few) seedbox(es) (community will happily provide these I suppose). Once its done, turbo speed for everyone.

Thanks, both these things are what I was thinking about
I have a computer in a wardrobe working only as file/torrent server so there is at least one seed box for the community.
I am a new member so I had to delete the link from your post, dough.

Well - back up a few months i tried to do exactly that. I seeded the Villain files until 4-5 had it, and because every one else's connection was better than mine ppl didnt download from me anymore - and speed would pick up on the file across P2P
I used uTorrent and created the torrent from within that program and uploaded the torrent to my own website - worked a charm once i had all the settings right...
i think it's a good idea - if not then as a mirror for the RS and Mediafire websites...
Once a couple of 100 mbit upload has gotten hold of the file it will be fast!!!

Aren't you guys jumping the gun a bit on this? How about selecting another provider? Rarhost, dropbox, Adrive.com are other free alternatives Ive used in the past.
Or even Google Sites/Code/Doc etc

Maybe we are
Just thought that torrents has some benefits and could be considered... Nice to hear all your opinions

Wuala can be a good alternative to rapidshare or megaupload, it has 2GB for free, or you can share your HD free space for add free space to your account on Wuala. Also can be possible do a groups for sharing, on HTCMania we have created one for files for HTC Desire and another for APKs
http://www.wuala.com/HTC_Desire
http://www.wuala.com/APKs_Android
Everyone can access from web, or using Wuala client using Windows/Linux/Mac and with notifications for new files added.

Get 48GB of Dropbox cloud storage for free

Samsung has announced that that every consumer that buys and registers a Galaxy S III smartphone will get free 50GB cloud storage from Dropbox.
This is double of what Dropbox is giving HTC One series owners, however just like HTC, the free storage will only be valid for two years.
If you already have Dropbox installed on your Android device, you must Clear data, Force close and finally uninstall it from Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Dropbox.
Thats installation for ClockWorkMod;
add apps here your internal sdcard and flash with CWM.
1.) Uninstall any Dropbox on your device.
2.) Download and install this :

or;
https://hotfile.com/dl/157101366/c4e...-Dbox.zip.html
or;
http://www.directmirror.com/files/60HA419T
3.) Login, and after about 10-30 mins you'll get an email that says you've got 48GB of space more
İf you want to add manually , that's way ;
use root explorer or similar apps ;
add this files ;
system/app/Dropbox.apk
system/app/DropboxOOBE.apk
and;
system/framework/com.dropboxpartner.jar
give permission; rw- r-- r-- chmod 644 filename
after that reboot. thats it.

Guys, this is a really stupid thing to do. Do you think they won't know and take away all bonus storage you've ever received? If it's not done on a HTC One phone or a Samsung Galaxy S III they'll know and get rid of it. I saw it on the Dropbox blog a few months back when the one series came out.

Are you downloading the torrent right now? And then you will mirror it for me on your server? And send me the link so I can post it to the top. I will be working on keeping this fully updated and the total guide as a how-to for everything GS4. Let me know if anyone has a spot that I can upload these files to. I think all rared up it's around 2.5gb. At this point in time. Of course over the next few months it will continue to get larger and larger. So I'm eventually going to have to categorize everything in sections. But it's a process. As for now this is everything you need to know and to have to be up to date what us with our locked bootloaders can do.

Or create another thread with a different pack or something. I will have to do some brainstorming. I'm open to ideas. I'll probably just break down and pay for a dev-host account.

Alright. Got it. It'll be done uploading here in about an hour and a half.

Since you're posting live links while uploading, you might want to consider sharing the MD5 of the complete package so that downloaders can be sure they have the correct and complete file.

Ok the MD5 Hash for the Newb pack is: 6FE5D348EEEFC66ACA359F51F330540A
Thanks for the heads up.

Seeding the torrent on my box for the next 60 days. Great package!

I did something like this and it got moved to General.
Swyped from the 4th Galaxy on XDA Premium.

Thank's for seeding! Keeping good torrents isn't hard to do if everyone plays there role!
I will continue to update it with more useful tools as they become available. I'll upload a new torrent with all the new stuff in a rar. And I make sure I paraphrase in layman terms sot that even the newest of the new should have no issue
And to take it even farther I plan on having a few rar's that will be for certain sections if they wouldn't need the others for some reason.
Simplifying everything down into about 5 to 10 folders root, pseudo roms, Roms, tools for debloating, an xposed folder,odin and recovering, and eventually in the very new future, custom recoveries, Full on Roms, kernels.... etc the possibilities are endless.
Simple for us but if someone had never dealt with android before it is no walk in the park. But that's why I am here putting out simplified packages with organized and easy to follow instructions.
The number one concern is getting our damn boot loader out of att jail, after that its all gravy. when I get some more time I will start making a guide on everything anyone should know about the galaxy s4 and what tools are available and what devs we have working on them and what the future holds for us with the Gs4. It's going to be a lot of work but it will cut down on a lot of flaming and ignorant questions.
P.s. On storage cow... The link for newb pack says its 0 kb just ignore it and it will download fine its about 2.7gb.
And also thanks for support.

Thank you for the n00b pack! I just got my new S4 ATT phone the other day and was looking around to see what I could do to it.
Took me a bit to find the torrent for this pack, but I did. The link in the OP points to a Torrent file that is no longer used. Instead, use the following link:
http://thepiratebay.sx/torrent/8503670
I will be seeding this torrent as well for as long as I can.
Thank you very much for putting it all together and I can't wait to see what I can do to this and with this phone.
