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.

Hello,
I am a dev working on a popular Android app line and have seen quite a few posts here by user seeking support or sharing experience. While we do have a ticket system, a dedicated Android support team and a much less popular forum, I find most problems user experience are first report here, and many posts give valuable insights on how we can further improve our products.
So I am asking the possibility of opening a forum for a specific app or a line of apps, either with or without the official support.
NOTE: This is just an idea I come across reading posts here, and does not represent the stance of the company.
There already is a forum for that... go to android development and hacking, and then android apps... there is the forum dedicated to apps...... and in case you can't find it here's the link... http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=530

err, a forum for "Applications and games created by xda-developers users for use on Android. No commercial apps/games allowed." seems not what I am asking for.
if its a paid app then xda too got dedicated forum for paid apps.

OK folks, after much discussion, the rules regarding theming have been updated. It's important that everybody take a couple of minutes to read this.
*Please notice...As of late we see a lot of playstore links to paid themes popping up. Keep in mind XDA is a development environment and we love to see graphical modifications for our beloved expensive devices. We of course encourage theming using a "sharing is caring" strategy since that's what XDA is all about. And we are trying to keep it this way. XDA is not and will never be a marketing platform, so from now on we will not allow direct links to paid themes on the playstore. Basically these are the rules :
1) No direct links to paid themes.
2) You can mention your theme is available on the play store as "donation ware" if there is a free and exactly similar version on xda.
3) Paid version must stay exactly the same as the free version, update on playstore has to reflect version freely available on XDA.
4) Do not discuss playstore in your thread, but you may add it to your signatuee. (this does not mean you can create an obnoxiously huge banner). Please keep it to a manageable size.There will be no exceptions to these updated rules. Anybody found posting links to your "donation ware" themes on Playstore will be removed, and there will be consequences.
Thank You.

The following rules must be followed if you are providing any links to paid themes in a thread.
1) You must provide a free theme for all members. Your Thread must focus on this free theme. You may only mention and link to the paid theme.
2)The theme must remain free. No limited access, no registration required.
Be mindful of the amount of advertising you do with your paid work. Again, you can link from within the thread of your free version. However, you cannot include direct links to your paid apps in your signature, profile, or anywhere else. You can, however, put links to your free app threads in the aforementioned places, which already contain links to the paid counterparts. Simply put, you must first present your free app before you direct others to your paid work.

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.
