Forum banner ads request - About xda-developers.com

i have a request,, was talking to another forum member about it too,, they brought it up
i know with google ad-sense u can block certain advertisers from displaying ads..
this ad is making a few of us sick
toenail-fungus-rankings.zetaclear_DOT_com
is there anything u can do about it?
and pls dont say "get an ad blocker".. this is the site's revenue generator,, and no one should be promoting blocking ads
and if i see something i like and want it, i will go there and this site will get the click through referral...
if u can block this one single site, u will make many people here happy
its seriously disgusting looking at malformed pics of diseased toe nails... im gagging just thinking about it

Thanks for the heads up, we are getting rid of it.
Just FYI, make sure to put future requests in this thread.

Pocket Secure 4.0

Here is the link to pocket secure 4.0. This is a great security that has great developer support. Works great with black 3 and is also skinable. Check it out. BTW its not freeware but for about $15 USD you cant beat it.
Now, why does this sound to shameless advertising?
Can this thread be locked. After all, the OP got his point across.
No point going forth with this. Personally I hate spam posts, I would go as far to suggest to outright delete it if possible.

Sorry if it does sound like spam, just thought I'd share it. I spent a good amount of time serching for a program that does just what it does, so I thought I'd post it in a forum that I frequent. Considering we dont have the best search engine on this forum I gave it a simple title just incase someone in the future is looking for the same. Maybe that person wont waste your time with a useless post like I have. Cheers!

Well, I can say for sure that kree's post is NOT Spam! He is one of the newest users of Pocket Secure, and was just sharing his approval here. He has done this by his own free will, and was not asked to!
Users sharing their good experiences with other users are what these forums are all about. Is it not?
@kree:
Thank you for your kind words. Enjoy Pocket Secure, and let me know if I can help you with anything else!
Also watch for a major update in a few weeks from now. This is, as always, free to registered users!
Great security.
However a ****ty website. It refuses to show anything without JavaScript on.

guitar hero

does anyone have a link to the guitar hero cab? greatly appreaciated
Seconded.... except my message is much to short
Me too Please !!
why is everyone so protective of it, ive seen numerous posts on this site with people claiming they have it yet noone wants to give it up. it'd be greatly appreaciated i mean we are all here for the same reason, to help eachother out.
Probably because its copyrighted
just because someone has it, it doesnt mean they are going to freely give it out to anyone. It's not being rude, just selective. For example, if I had this game. I would only give it out to other people that have contributed to this site, not just a bunch of leechers that gain info or software and have nothing reciprocating to offer. And secondly it would be via PM or other communication ways. Not posted publicly on this site (which is against site rules)
Put it this way.... i'm not going to tell you where ( again against site rules) but there IS a site that has this app posted ( cTacked version) but you will need to find out where it is posted for yourself.

Quite true, but isnt distributing edited versions of Windows Mobile O/S.
I am not complaining btw without Kavana and Rickys WM6.1 i would be stuck with BT Bloatware.
its really not that great. i was able to nail every song on the highest settings with little effort. its mainly good to just show off. plus you need a good interneet connection to get the songs

so you leechers keep your grubby paws off
I'm not a leecher. Never asked for a damned bit of your warez (I always hated the whole fake-music genre of games), but it seems like I hit a nerve with that comment. Guess if you have it, you're a leecher.
All I was saying is that having something like guitar hero makes certain people feel special...because they have it and others don't. If they let it out too liberally, just like the child in the schoolyard, they're not special anymore because everybody is the same again. They lose the "look what I got and you don't" shine.
It's a nasty attitude and shows that people really don't grow up. If you don't want to give it out, you really don't have to say anything at all. But it's the schoolboy in you that has to yell "MINE!"
To the original poster, Guitar Hero III mobile is available online. T-Mobile has it in their downloads as well. And I'm not sure who told you we're all here for the same reason: to help each other out. There are quite a lot of people here who feel they're at some elite status and can't be bothered with people who are where they were, say, ten months ago.
problem is, that most people dont contribute to this site ( or at least this forum) they sit here asking all sorts of questions, but never offer any help to others. Im not an eliteist.... i did what most techy type guys most like did when they first got their phones, they dabbled with it, figured crap out for themselves, and when they didnt, they found the almightly google for help. Once they started to put 2 & 2 together with what their phone could and couldnt do, they started offering help to others, and i stress help. Help is not giving out software that they have and saying: " here ya go! " help is actually resolving someone elses problem. and i hardly think that a software request is a problem. For those certain individuals that i've seen on this site actuall make a signifigant contribution to help others that are in need, when they've hit me up for software, i've always hooked them up, but for the ones that "hit & run" and have not had anything to offer to date, i dont give them anything. (and i stress give). its not like im going to be seeing these people on what you call the schoolgrounds anytime soon and i dont really care how many people have the same software i have. i do feel that some deserve it and some dont , based on their merit. simply googling guitar hero III and finding a thread in this forum, finding out that there is a guitar hero III for the mobile phone and then requesting it is not contributing anything in any way. ( BTW i've been with this forum since nov of 2006 and have had a smartphone since WM2003 so i dont know where you are getting your 10 months ago figure)
Nah, dude, that wasn't meant as a slight to you. I can't disagree with anything you wrote. I'm fairly new here myself (though I've had a smartphone since I had WM2003 on my Samsung SCH-i600 with Verizon). I joined it because it's a relatively well-respected forum in the smartphone community and a place that everyone asking questions elsewhere is sent to.
The problem is this forum just lacks moderation and organization. Being new here, I feel sorry for people just showing up and having to dive through this mess. Yes, a lot of questions get repeated. But it's fiendishly easy to say "justfuckinggoogleit.com" to the point that over 80% of a user's posts reflect that..again, without giving any real help. It makes the community look bad as a whole. That's what pisses me off.
I think being called a leech kinda set me off, too, since there's nothing on my phone (except the ROM) that's not either bought-and-paid-for or freeware.
im not calling you specifically a leech. im calling the people with 2 posts, one being "hey, can you also send guitar hero to me too??", leeches. they are the same retards that post 400000 times "HELP! ZOMG!!! I FINALLY GOT THE ROM TO WORK BUT MY KEYBOARD LAYOUT IS MESSED UP". ya know what i think of that? **** YOU AND YOUR KEYBOARD. if you are too stupid to read or use the SEARCH function (not google), then you are too stupid to use a phone like this. i realize that most are just lazy and are above searching for the answer or reading a few pages..to them i also have a heart felt **** you.
if someone has 50 or 100 posts and asks a silly question, i will gladly provide the answer if i know it. but the guy with 2 posts in 6 months can go find it himself.
when your first reaction to an issue you have with your phone is to post it in a new thread....you dont deserve help. how about doing some of the legwork yourself instead of posting "i NEED a step by step set of instructions blah blah blah". what you NEED is a kick in the nuts.
and if you really feel that by us saying "go do a search the topic has been discussed 4500000 times" makes the community look bad.....how does the community look when you have a bunch of posts by people with 2 post to date, asking all the same questions as eachother? i think its retarded that some senior users actually have to use their signatures to list step by step instructions for some of the most talked about topics, just so they dont have to type it for the 10000th time. hows that make our community look? makes it look like there are a handful of people that know what they are doing and it makes the rest look like a buncha n00b tards that are leading eachother down the stupid trail.
SO damn true!!! On that note LMFAO LMFAO LMFAO LMFAO

He is hawking Kavana ROM as his own, he even uses kavana's pictures with his email address/profile.

God that is shady but where anyone can make a couple of squid they will and as gixxum quoted it's not an official release and i'm damn sure that Kavana has not got copyright of the rom in question, lets just hope that the seller has a freak accident of nature?
Meh someone trying to make money off of someone elses hard work. Happens all the time.
Aww i see, thanks for replys
IS this one of you guys?

thats the rom i made but im not the one selling it
Dude, BOOK THAT GUY !!!
I wish I had the time, unfortunately I don't but someone needs to take action. Damn, he's done a full professional job with the ad too, what a scammer !!!
I can't believe he's making money out of what's offered for free here and not to forget - that's not even his !
lastly, it's sad that people have actually bought the rom...pathetic!

It's a disgrace that someone can make money for something that is readily available "Free" and not credit & royalty Kavana.
Wow, I can't believe people are doing this. But there is nothing we can do about it I figured because the Rom is not copyrighted material; therefore, anyone can sell it unless Kavana copy rights, which I believe can not be done since its a "cooked" rom rather then an official rom.
Somebody Has to Destroy This Guy
I swear to God, if something isn't done about this, and pronto, I am going to completely go postal on this guy.
So, for the feds out there reading this, if something happens to that guy, I probably did it. He deserves it, and good luck catching me. HAHAHA!
Haha he does deserve it, especially for doing something like this
you can report him through the ebay pages, but don't forget to use the "ask seller a question" button. I have sent a few to let him know we're not happy about it. He gets enough and maybe he'll take it down. Also, I told him I was going to contact every bidder to let them know where to get it for free.
USE THAT BUTTON!

Oh sounds good, I will do the same thing as well... I am going to let everyone know that they could download it from our website... It seems as if people are getting ripped off by buying a free program... Kavana and Ricky put together this for us for free therefore it should be this way... No one should try to sell it... If anyone has the right to sell the program it would be Ricky and Kavana.

yeah, I did the same and reported him too.
By the way, anyone want to buy a custom rom? I got one for sell.
I've just had a word.
Nice and p'lite like, honest guv'nor.
I notice it is a 'Private Listing', we cant now see who buys off him.
So, having trawled through the options available for report to eBay, which one are we going to use?
Ooh I love a good vendetta ...

Rick
I suggest in your future ROM put comments in the home.xml files' header.
It's a DISGRACE for people to make money out of somebody else's sweat. I know how difficult and time consuming it is to make ROMs.
selling someone elses work is just wrong...
i agree with everything everyone else has said already
and reading all the previous posts makes me also think
that in buying any rom off ebay, you dont have the full

Comp themes available at ********???

I read over at "removed" that 7 comp themes are available at "removed". If so how did they get them and why aren't we shutting them down.
Where i went there and cant find anything.
The site does have the themes up
I wrote the administrator a message to see if he can remove them till unday.
Please keep this to yourself.
Sorry for editing your message but the few people that know, more fair the comp, will be.
Yeah I saw it linked on another forum I frequent..It kinda sucks to derail the competition like that by leaking the themes but I guess some people can't be patient.
Crappy
Thats a bunch of crap!
How did they get the files???
I am sooo not cool with that! they need to remove them now!
Its not fair to the comp.!
You have to realize, once that site got a hold of them. They can do whatever they please as long as the themers dont have a claimer in their themes stating no one other then so so may post or publicize their themes.
Which we all know, about 80% of these themers didnt have an issue before but might have one now.
I dont know if we can do anything.
But the question is, how they got them in the first place. I thought these weren't distributed for a certain amount of time.
Judges and donors where given the themes prior to public release.
As far as im concerned, One of them, owns that site, or gave that site a link to them, or someone uploaded them somewhere and someone sniffed it out.
I'd imagine they are a judge, or someone who donated, and has acces to the themes allready... google isn't bringing up anything easily at least.... mmmm moon dust is out there somewhere
they are Competition Themes, Get them here and vote
This thread will be locked
i have an issue with it, they didnt ask permission and would actually like to know where it is posted to ask them to take it down

Tried to disable Adblock to help

I tried to disable Adblock to help support XDA, I do this in all websites I judge worth, I can deal with ADs even ignore flashy ones for the goos cause of helping keep XDA going.
However...I think you guys should have a minimum of self-respect when choosing your sponsors, dating websites? really? hows that related with phone or technology at all?
What's the next uh? a banner about a orgy website?

You can always turn adblock back on. As far as what ads are present... I can't comment on that.
Ads on any site don't usually follow the theme of the site. Just saying. :good:
