WP7 Gamers

Hi all, with the current lack of global leaderboards, or any specific WP7 Gaming community (that I've found) I've set up WP7 Gamers.
At present, we're on Facebook and twitter (search out WP7 Gamers). A fully fledged website may follow later should interest deem it worthwhile. Also as this is done in my spare time (which I lack enough of!) - if anyone is interested in becoming an admin/mod/poster - please feel free to drop me a message!
Not wanting to upset the mod's on here, this is not run for profit! Just couldn't find what I was looking for! so set out to make it myself. Also for the dev's out there wanting to promote their titles, please feel free to send any information/screenshots/video's and I'll make sure they are shared
Hope this is ok?

gr8 idea dude

Hey sHAYM4N I'm trying to message you but it's not letting me, can you send me one that I can reply to? Thx man.

If you want, I could lend you my website.
It was supposed to be a site dedicated to game news/reviews for WP7 that I started as a school project, but I couldn't find the time to continue it. If you and a small group wanted to take charge more or less, I would give you guys all the info needed to moderate the forums, and if you wanted to, you could even post news and get the front end going again - assuming people posting news were literate.
Let me know.

Cheers for that, but I may have to look at designing from scratch for what I have in mind.
I don't really want this to be another new/reviews website if it goes that way. I want to try and create something that I see as an extension to XBox Live. Something different...
Having a quick search around it appears Microsoft don't have an open API for XBox which is a real shame tbh, because there are a lot of things that could be done further which I don't think are yet being taken advantage of.
In a perfect scenario I would like to see members register for the website using their gamertag, from there they could access leaderboards, compare gamerscores, compete in challenges, whilst also being an active social forum for indie developers.
I'd also be looking for the site to be run by 5-10 people - preferably from different timezones!
If the idea took off and interest grew, challenges could turn into competitions, advertising into supporting the site etc...
When I get chance I'll mock up some designs. I'm more of a designer than a developer - so if anyone has got any advice, or want's to get on board so to speak - feel free to let me know!
For the time being there will be weekly challenges on the Facebook Page. Get the highest score by the closing time, and your gamertag/pic will be crowned on the Profile Pic.
I'll also be posting information about Indie Games, so if you want your game featured please let me know! They won't be reviewed so to speak, just information/screenshots. The idea is to provide the information, and let the community review the game.

12GB+ online storage for FREE with new startup !!

From copy.com's website: "To celebrate Copy's launch, earn 5 GB of extra free storage for yourself and whoever you refer each time you introduce someone new to Copy. This is a limited time opportunity to rack up huge amounts of extra free storage while we build the initial buzz around Copy!"
Extra storage space online can overcome the only flaw of our wonderful device, limited storage !!
The cool thing about signing up with this company, is how we get free storage. You get 5GB just for signing up. But if you use someone's referral link, you get 5GB more and so does the person whose link you used. For every person that you refer via link you get 5GB more free.
The additional referral 5GB is only for a limited time, so spread the word to get fast and free upgrades...
Here is my link, you can use my link or any others in this thread as well....just pay it forward my XDA family!!
Mod Edit
To get the 12GB, you have to do following:
1. Signup using my link
2. Make sure you verify your email (they will send you a confirmation email, just click link in it)
3. You have to install its app somewhere, either on desktop or cell phone; then you can uninstall it if you want.
4. Just tweet about it and another 2GB !!
Note : If you simply go and sign in to Copy, you will get only 5gb, then you could start referring people to earn more OR use my link, we both would get 5gb (so total 10gb for you) and then you can start referring to earn more !!
GO on.. Grab as much as you can!!

There's already an active thread about this a couple of titles below yours.

[Q] Project: DroidSourced

Hi guys,
I have received multiple requests to support and create rom's and firmware guides for the M8 (and other phones but the M8 was the top requested).
Background: As many of you may know, I make stock based rom's and guides to simplify things for new and advanced users alike. It's all about information consolidation while keeping things up to date. I currently support the N5 and the HTC One M7.
After doing this for a few years now... I have come to realize that people really appreciate this unfortunately, I cannot support some devices (or only support them in a very limited manner) since I do not have the hardware to work with. My philosophy is not to post anything unless it has been tried and tested thoroughly by me - this makes sure that everything works!
All this led to idea the idea I had for Project-DroidSourced
It's pretty simple:
- The community pitches in (kickstarter-like) to collect funds for the device they want supported
- We purchase the device using the crowd sourced funds - all receipts and pictures of bought items will be shared publicly
- The purchased device is used as the testing bed for rom, firmwares, bootloader unlocks or guides (depending on what is being developed/supported)
- Finally, the device is GIVEN AWAY back to the community as a raffle/contest after a period of time (likely near the end of the device's yearly cycle).
Note:
- I am not doing this for any monetary gain myself. I do not accept "donations" for what I do - knowledge should be free and should be shared.
- This is just an idea I had seeing a large community interest from my previous work - no need to take anything negatively.
This is the first place I am sharing this idea - and the M8 will be the first device in this program if there is interest/uptake.
Feel free to ask any questions or share ideas.
Thanks

Where I think it could work, but you'd have to have like 1 master paypal account [one you create] in this scenario.
Secondly, you'd have to keep a book, xcel sheet, to basically keep tabs on the money supported, and then tell people, when you spend their funds, to what device it went to. It'd be a self kept treasury log. Additionally, perhaps use a public google drive file so it can be viewed at any time. I say view only so it isn't tampered with, but the transparency is there. Then again, that part would have to voted on as people may not want their names | contributions, even if by xda name.
Lastly, you'd have to figure a way to give it away randomly, or give the device randomly to the people's funds that went towards that particular device.
It's not a bad idea, but with the above, I think it could be managed correctly.

Agreed with all those comments. Each supported device would have an upper donation limit and would be it's own sub project.
A public excel sheet with donation amounts/users would also be setup. I want to keep things transparent.
I am also thinking of building a team for this so we can cover a larger range of devices also could lead to a ROM series

Well, when you say upper limit, I think it should be explicitly stated that it'd be a tiered system [regarding 'eligibility' for raffle device]. Cause i could see some quick mutinies when a guy who gave 1$ gets a device and a guy who gave 50$ didn't get anything. Again, not saying it's shady, but just to clear up front.
Regarding teams, I think that would be required, but a dev team member shouldn't be entered to win the same device they work on, cause it may same they are getting special treatment.
:silly:

Yes, all great points. Noted and agreed.
What I meant by upper limit was the total amount donated (to cover the device). Users are free to donate as they see fit.

Ah well of course.
Though i think you could treat the pot as a 2 for 1:
- [some] people will donate to a specific device, which their funds will go towards it
- others will donate just blindly, not caring; they get notified prior to, to take care of the remaining funds
That way you'd be almost guaranteed every device could be funded, and all relevant parties viable to get it.
Also, i'm heading out; I'll be back later when it's not now. Take care

I think its a great idea. There's nothing more comforting than seeing your new phone now has a ROM developed by somebody you've come to trust. If I bought a phone and saw the right developers (including you) asking for money to buy a dev device to speed up the development process, I'd definitely be willing to send $10/$20 dollars to ensure my new phone has quality support. Thirty guys per phone agree in principle at $20 a piece, that's $600 that can buy the phone to start development.
I'd suggest getting flar2 to mirror his ElementalX kernel to any ROM you develop by also raising enough money for him to support the phone as well. This is just my opinion for kernel support. Many android users like kernel options, especially stable options.

Or.... I'll trade my m8 for your n5. Come on. You don't want that thing anymore Then everyone is happy!

Thanks for the input Yes, I agree that having a few developers and knowledge consolidators on board will help - but it's also up to them if they want to join.

Thanks I wanted to gauge feedback first to see what people think. I do not want people to think that this is a pay for service type thing - it's more for a development device and reaching a standard of information delivery

Looking for App Dev for Paid Project

I would prefer not to get too detailed as I have had ideas stolen before. That's the problem with having good ideas without the skills to do it yourself, or the resources to hire the big trusted company.
As concise as I can be, I will list some of the functions needed.
Registration: Name, Contact info, a designation such as a title or skill (one of 4-5 choices).
A location and radius within which to function. This will be country wide. i.e. Seattle, Chicago, NY within 25 or 50 or ?? miles.
This should be linked to one or more web sites, one for the client and one for the app.
This app is for clients to be able to schedule themselves and be able to hire others from a list of the skill choices in the app. This aspect will have a membership charged yearly.
The app is also for the general public (free or $2.00 ??) to access the scheduling in particular geographic areas. i.e. by city or radius of stated area.
Right now I am doing research on how much work this kind of project would entail. Specifically am I looking at $1000.00(unlikely) or 5 or $10,000 or more to realistically start and complete.
Design is as important as function. The Dev should be more than just technically capable. He / She must also be able to see my needs and suggest options geared for a successful launch and a sustainable management.
Like I said, first I need to understand the industry baseline. I do however have some resources interested in investing.
Any information you can impart would be greatly appreciated and pending specifics will result in a job
Thanks for responding
Peace

College Project, I need to interview App Developers

Hello I am writing this thread because I am working on a business proposal for my business communication class and I was wondering if any of you could assist me with an interview.
For my proposal, I need an idea on how much it would be to develop an brand new app vs an extension to an existing app. All can be based on ball park prices, but the more accurate they are the better. Also, how long it takes to produce the app and get it running. There are more questions I would want answered, so if anyone is interested please just leave your email down below with the response to those few questions or message me your email!
All the numbers would be based on a huge company, so the app would be used and seen by millions.
Thanks for your time!
Hope some of you can help.
Valerie
