8525 Free Software Repository Build In Progress - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

I'm a recent purchaser of Cingular's new 8525 (although i did come close to ordering an unlocked Tytn online, but damn, I couldn't justify the price whatsoever, lol). So like a bunch of you, it was time to start compiling a list of "must have" scripts for my pda. Unfortunately, I had to go to 4 different forums, and two freeware sites to find what I wanted.
So I had a brainiac idea..create a damn one stop file repository (not a wiki) where people could upload and download at will.
http://www.8525software.com was born. Built it in two days lol. Got the phone three days ago
I invite everyone that owns a Tytn or 8525 to contribute or download new programs that could help themselves and everyone. Having a one area repository, in my opinion benefits everyone.
Guest priv's allow for quick upload, but must wait for admin approval. Logged in users can get auto-approval for their uploads.

Any help is greatly appreciated Is there really a lack of great hacks or software that is NOT free for the 8525?

Update the xda-developers profile page?

After having just sold my XDA-II and upgrading to the XDA Exec, I thought, "I better change my profile on xda-developers", but when looking at the page it merely has the option for owning the XDA or XDA-II. I think its about time for the options to be updated to include the newer range of HTC phones, anybody agree?
Allan
;p
I 2nd that
:twisted:
same, they don't even have xda iis for me to select
a post here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewforum.php?f=13
a PM to the Admin
or a mail to the Admin
would likely give a better result then a post in a forum for a surden device
lol

They know about it LOL, if you run a portal like this and you don't notice how out of date everything is then there is something very wrong haha.
I do think this is a great portal and an upgrade of forum (to a more modern functional system) and the aquiring of a new domainname should be nr1 in their agenda.
I am sure they think this portal makes a decent profit with all those donations and making investments in updates and changes will cut their income LOL.
But behold if they don't take care someone else could take over like modaco has been doing lately.
So moderators and xda-developers crew stick your heads together WAKE UP and help this GREAT portal into the 21 century!!
If you need help with brainwaving or other internet consulting help don't hesitate to contact me..

As mentioned several times ago, the model selection is/was a special "hack" for the phpBB that only supports 2 types. Therefore there aren't any newer devices availabe since the beginning of the xda-developers.....
But hey, this is a great forum and you can get the most information about our devices here. So why stuck on such little things like model in the profile? :?:
Stefan
I'd agree with LumpiStefan- this forum is the best resource for our devices on the net, and if it means living without a little picture of our devices in our profile I'm not going to lose any sleep over it!
Yes I agree, however since there are more than just 2 models now, and the hack only supports two pics, then I think its better removed altogether. It might be a bit confusing for the newbies ;-)

Possible FTP server offer to help here for some builds or so.

Hey all, I am debating using my host at www.darkmystics.com to open up a technical portal on my site. Which I toyed with for awhile.. (Since I do Ngage, Zodiac, Motorola etc) I saw ALOT of rapidshare going on here.. part of me is tempted to offer up some host and bandwitdh to help the community out to upload POPULAR items that are more suggested to use. I thought I would ask here to get the forum/site staffs thoughts and maybe some of the community is this has been tried/failed or desired. That or if I am missing a current place or IRC that has it already lol.
Edit: Nevermind, the HTC ftp that was linked around here... finally started working, kept timing out, I thought it was down. Still tho... if the idea of a webpage with a few common used items are wanted for easier finding, let me know. Otherwise I see the htc ftp is full of files lol.

Looking for your help guys, Transferring ownership for free!

Hey,
As most of you know, I am the sole owner of touch innovation. I have done alot to this website (and I still have more to come). THe problem is, over the next half year I have alot of work ahead of me, that affects my future. But I don't particulary want to go into it.
I want someone that can look after and keep the site going for up to 6 months. I know you're thinking "What's the point in this, what do I get out of it?". Well, you get experience.
You'll get a weekly number of emails, submissions etc from people that use the website, you can monitor these, and help out there questions.
You can add programs from here etc.
Why Am I asking this?
I have spent months and months of coding this website (considering the website is only 4 months old, it's a lot of work). And I've hit a niche in the market, people want a website like this, and I am supplying them with one, but I need it to be updated while I am gone. Maybe some marketing (aka advertising) as well, so everything is running peak, and more users are coming.
This is a non-profit organisation, I make no money out of it.
I will pay the guy at the end (maybe), dependant on how much they have done to the website. And I want them to take it upon them self to make any adjustments. The site will potentially be yours for the half year (I will be checking up on it, and If there are some changes that are iffy, I will contact you about it).
It's good experience, and maybe helping me + the community out for a while.
Thanks guys,
-------------------
Okay, another idea, A team of people can request to be part of the team, and keep the site running well and keep it updated for the time I'm gone
Touch Innovation team (to-be's):
nir36
jackkkkk
Kenshino
jdiperla
AkshayGenius
Hannigan174
churka
Thanks for anyone who helps in advance, I will be up for giving a little price tag at the end, dependant on whether they've applied effort to maintain the site
No one?
I think it would be awesome to have this opportunity but I have no experience in html coding. Just the basics.
I thought I had replied to this :/
Erm, you dont need any html coding skills. You just need to know how to keep a website updated (using xda, and others) using my simple but easy and clever admin panel. Also advertise to keep hits up etc.
Napbree, I would gladly take this website, but i'm MEGAbusy with studies and work.
I suggest that instead of granting this website to another "sole" person, you create users in your admin panel and grant them to a few people who will keep it updated. I build websites and I can tell you that there's no way i'd be able to handle even one of those i've built, myself.
If a group of people are willing to help, I will be one of them.
I'll also try creating commercial opportunities for the website - profitwise.
I'd usually say "This is not the place to post these kind of posts.. use the Q&A section".. which comes naturally nowadays..
but considering the importance of this... I think we need this thread bumped up until you manage to get what you wish for.
Yes, that would be great. You've given me an awesome idea. A team of people that can mointor and keep the site up and running well, and content updated etc.
I'll start making a list of people who want to become part of the team
And if you could get a commercial opportunity, that would be amazing. I'd be up for selling it as well (maybe). It's just I want to keep the site of my hands for a while. Because my dad died only a week ago, and i'm entering a state of depression, and I need to get out into the world and keep myself busy.
Thanks
Someone?
I really like this site, and would like to see it continue.
Nathan has done such great job on developing this site, it would be shame, to see it gone waste!
So anyone who has motivation and some time to take this site under ownership, please contact nathan!
Ps. I'm one of admins of this site, and can tell you that it's really easy to update site, because of the nathan's clever admin panel. I would do it myself if i had the time, but my studies and and other projects takes too much time.
All friends of this site, let's get this thread bumped until we get some help for nathan
Firstly.. i'm sorry. Be well.
Secondly, I have some connections.. I can't promise anything but i might be able to get some advertisments going.. we'll see how it goes.
Also, if manage to get some time off .. sometime.. I'll create flash banners and put them up.
COUNT ME IN.
Thank you allevant
And nir36 thanks again, that would be mucho appreciated! very generous
I'm willing to help...
But I'm not sure if I got any use thou as I got no tech experiences or running a website.
My best experience is being a gaming forum moderator and basic computer/pda knowledge.
But, if you think I'm a good canadiate please let me know as I would like to help in anyways.
You don't really need experience in running a site. As long as you can spend some time on the admin panel to add content, it's all good.
I've added you to the to-be team , hope you don't mind.
Thanks! future for the site is looking brighter this is just a bump post
I'll bump your bump
Dear Napbree,
I am an Application Consultant and actually my job consists of making corporate websites for government entities.
Websites I've done include (not exhaustive list)
http://www.infocommsingapore.sg/industry/
and
http://www.infocommsingapore.sg/games
Same domain but totally different things.
So do count me in if you need help running the website.
I am certified in JAVA (Have Sun Certified Java Programmer and Developer certs) and am proficient in both JSP and Applications.
Currently I am writing CMS based websites using PHP, CSS, HTML and Javascript.
I can definitely write some code to add more cool functionality to your website
I'll bumb your bumbing my bumb
Hi Kenshino,
Application consultant heh, nice!
At the moment, I will be able to code up new sections for the site, for example, the new update that will come sooner or later (when I have time to finish it), has live submission, which means users can instantly add applications, as long as it applies with a few of my automated checks.
But if you have any ideas, and you want to code them up, you can definately! But I wouldn't be able to give source code, but you can code it seperately and then I can incoroporate it nicely
Thank you lots for your interest
Nathan
Hey, I volunteer too. I am a PC administrator and had had success in hosting my own sites in the past as well as prior administration duties to games like http://www.swcombine.com
Sounds great
Added you to the list, I will contact you all in the future, once I have a nice big list of contributors
Thanks
let's keep this on top.

[MISC] offering web-hosting for devs/ projects

Hey all!
I did notice that others are offering this kinda thing in other device sections of xda, and I wanted to contribute in some other fashion besides donations as well.
I'd like to cordially offer no-cost web hosting to G2/Vision/DesireZ, Incredible S, Amaze 4G & Nextbook tablet developers/ project teams from within a massive web-hosting account I have had for a few years now.
If anyone is curious with questions or anything, just send a PM.
All I ask in return is perhaps some twitter following or a website link, or random help with getting my Desire-Z exactly as I like it (lol) or anything non-monetary. I just wanna help facilitate storage/transfer of stuff/ etc. I also ask you do as much as you can to keep your web-facing pages secure and free from malicious use as well.
(S)FTP and HTTP(S) access of course. More details if you PM.
I can also say it's nearly unlimited space/bandwidth.
Domain names would be standard $10 each, but a subdomain is suggested to avoid any of those kinds of fees.
I'm doing this also because I hate rapidshares and megaupload types of services putting a limit to the speed and quantity of files we can exchange in this community.
Please understand I have no malicious intent or fraudulent desires with this. It's purely to support the community. Both my friend and I own the account and we both have Android phones (me: HTC Desire-Z, him: HTC Desire).
bump for adding 2 devices to the options.
bump for adding the Amaze 4G

Which developer wants 600GB traffic / 5 months @ HotFile for Free?

Hi,
I'm most of the time lurking in the background here; looking how I can tweak my SGS. I'm impressed by the skills displayed and always eager to try something new.
So I want to thank a developer or team by means of a HotFile-account. I have no idea who has plenty hosting and who could use some, nor do I know any specific developer, so I'm just asking:
Who could put a 600GB/5 month hotfile-account to good use?
Just drop your motivation in the comments... (e.g. specify what you are going to share)
if I see someone fit, I will PM that person the account details for hotfile and mention in this thread who got it.
Note: It's just one account, I'm not handing out more.
Nice sentiment, not sure how many devs will see your kind offer though.
