Dear chefs,
Everybody knows how slow some online share-site's are. It's frustrating for you, that every time you just finished your new ROM, you have to wait so long
The users are frustrated by the same site's because of all the restrictions: wait 1 or 2 minutes, it's to busy right now, slow connection, you reached your max. data quota for today, and all the terrible add's & pop-ups!
But, there is a solution! It is an application for your computer (win & mac) that will put a special folder on your desktop. It is a special folder because everything that you put in that folder, automatically synchronizes with your ON-LINE storage space! If You have more than 1 machine like me, you are glad with the next feature: synchronizing between desktops. I've installed the application on my Win7 desktop, and on my MacBook. So stop mailing yourself, end throw away that USB stick that's always lost
But, why you MUST use it, is the Public Folder in your synchronizing folder! When you have finished your new ROM, just put it in your folder (zip/rar is not necessary!) en right-click > provide public link!
This link, you post on XDA and every user can download your new ROM in peace! To test it, here is a link from the Mikenificent 13.3 ROM, I put in my public folder> LINK
See a short youtube video with all the possibilities

So, have I convinced all Chef's to use dropbox for your ROMS?
Use this LINK to get started whit dropbox. Why that link? It's a referral link, and when you use that we both get hooked up whit 250MB extra, besides the 2GB standard storage!
Thank you, and keep cooking!

sometimes we use the online storage hosters (not me) to gain money cause sometimes( like me) buy a premium account to store everything, as many ppl do. and sometimes some storage dont erase our files...
So... whats the benefit in this cases to us? wich is the fastest Upload download rates you have? does it erase files when nobodys download them? you will get money for it? does we?
Mediafire dont erase my files... and dont have waiting time dunno if ppl is happy with it... and ppl do its own mirros in fact.

Maybe if you didnt post your own refferal link at the bottom of that post, you would have been more.. believable.
Dropbox is nice for small files. However the speed, sucks sometimes. In order to make files available publically you have to put them in the Public folder, where they will get erased 30 days later. So there's some drawbacks, but for a cook that only cooks for one or two devices and plans on updating the ROM at least once a month, it's not a bad choice
@OP:

Hi all,
As I tried to contact Niels Thomsen a couple times without answer and not being sure at all he is going to update his software and databases, finally I came back to program again.
Firstly I'll say the databases have the same origin, the files writen by George Spanellis that can be found in PocketGPS web site.
I took the full monty, joined in a single file and then started to delete those were repeated. So from a scratch of more than 2.5 millions postcodes the final database has 1.678.621 postcodes in a file of 40 Mb..
Then they were indexed and compressed (don't ask how) to get a final file of 13 Mb.
Personally I'm very happy with results. It's quick, no more than 1 second in a XDA II, to find the farest postcode in the database and the program that was made with NSBasic is 16 Kb.
I work as courier and testing it every day without problems with a lot of postcodes.
I don't want people selling my job in eBay taking benefits of my job, so I intend to sell it and to have registered customers. On return it will be updated on basis of customers corrections and adds and crossing my database with any other I can get.
Of course any comments or sugestions are very welcome.
At the moment I use the TTN SDK 2.0, but if there are enough customers I will buy the new 3.0 to get more interactions. For those that have already installed the TTNcontrol 3.0 in their PDA is not problem to have too the earlier control. I have myself. At the end of the day they are OCX controls that work or not if they are needed and they have similar but different names.
That's why I use the built-in keyboard instead to design a new one: To have more room in the screen for future new buttons. The second reason and no less important is to get a quick and small program.
I know you're tired reading my broken English so here are the CAB's you need. Copy them to your PDA and execute them. It will create a shortcut to the program.
This version has a expiration period of 15 days, I think is enough to try it and to get your comments. Thanks.
Hi all,
As some people reported to me some issues with the installation, possibly due to the way some PDA refer to the "Storage Card" I decided to separate the files to allow a "hand made" installation.
There is now 4 files to be downloaded. if some of you already have some of them skip it.
Data: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/j.adell/ukpc/data.zip
Library http://homepage.ntlworld.com/j.adell/ukpc/library.zip
Program http://homepage.ntlworld.com/j.adell/ukpc/program.zip
TTN library http://homepage.ntlworld.com/j.adell/ukpc/TTNControl.arm.CAB
Data contains the database
Library contains the needed OCX controls and runtimes
Program contains the program itself and a How2install.txt file with instructions
And finally the TTN library contains the TTN OCX controls. If you have already installed Checkpoint (last version) you don't need it.
I hope this workaround will eliminate the installation problems. The instructions file I think is enough clear, but if someone needs more help let me know. Also it will be a better way to introduce new releases or modifications just downloading one or two files instead the full lot.
BTW, the program has corrected a flickering effect when starting and a bug in the search process that affected postcodes with 6 digits or less.

Hi all
A new release, now with a function to create Itineraries from Postcodes. And you don't need even to have TomTom running in your device. It works only for TTN 3.xx
You will see now two new buttons: "Send to itinerary" and "Finish itinerary"
After you get the coordinates for your 1st point (departure) tap on Send to itinerary. Use the second button for your last point.
The itinerary wil be saved as ukpc2ttn. So now you only need to open TTN, go to itinerary an open that file. It will show you the itinerary naming each point with the correspondent postcode and a flag with the position, so you can identify the point in the map. You will notice that the 1st point is not in the list. Don't worry, when you tap on "Plan" you will be asked to use that point as start.
To download just the program use the link: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/j.adell/ukpc/program.zip

This is a evil tiny program, I guess it is malware, in the form of a trojan. I downloaded it from
ftp://xdaupload:[email protected]/Atom/Unlocker/
HTC Atom Unlocker.exe
I was and aware of all of the warning about it being a global public site, and anyone can upload to it. 1000 downloads later, all of which worked, or didnt work but never had a negative effect, I was caught feeling stupid when I seen what this little pointless program did to my computer.
Defender didn't detect it, Mcafee 8.0i enterprize (4909 dat 5100engine) didn't detect it.
When I executed this file it popped up a notepad window with
"Hello! Upon reading this message your computer is starting to shut down. Your Data Link Library is going to destroy, all your files say goddbye... Did you know that some programs are cute and stealth like this, amagin isn't it...
ARE YOU READY TO THIS DISASTER!!!
Very Importain Reason Unless Shutdown"
Mean while my computer was running with CPU 100% and the hard drive chugging away. It seems that it deleted what was in my root directory (c:\) most of the contents of c:\windows and c:\windows\system32.
Before submitting this I verified this file does what I'm explaining by duplicating it on a old beatup xp laptop I use for testing stuff. the program seems to run some command in a hidden cmd window. I was able to kinda stop the program the second time around cause I was prepared for it.
I was not sure where to post this sorry if I picked a bad place, but I feel it is importain for the whole xda community that we eradicate this file and any ones like it from the ftp site..
Only good that seemed to come from this is, I dont have time to worry about fixing the Ipaq 6515a that been driving me nuts for last 5 weeks casue I cant seem to get a radio stack to flash back to the unit, cause I get rebuild one of my systems again... anyways this site and community of modivated good thinkers has to be one of the best groups of people I've seen work together on the net... .. (everyone very helpfull as long as you not have a HP IPAQ 6515a phone needing a gsm stack flash) ..
All the information on all the other HTC phones that I have has been very accurate and plentiful! Thank you all!! (not the person who uploaded HTC Atom Unlocker.exe to the ftp site..)lol
Mb
Thanks for info.
I confirm this. very nasty little proggie.
I did a look inside this file, it said
Demo Version. This application created with Unregistered version of Quick Batch File Compiler. Visit http://www.abyssmedia.com for more info.
So, I guess itself is just a nasty batch file. Can't get details of the code though.
I've renamed the file with a .DANGER.DONOTUSE at the end.
Hey everyone,
I developed this app as a part of my final year project. Initially I had big plans for it (I still feel that PPC lacks strong apps in this area.. OneNote doesn't cut it for me), but got busy with work/studies and forgot all about it.
I have also created a web version for it (sync your data with a web url), but thats too alpha at the moment. If anyone wants to beta test it, please let me know.
I'm uploading the last versions I made of this app to gather some bug reports, problems, crashes, new features etc which people might be interested in.
Keep in mind, I want this app to be so good that people can finally leave their paper notebooks home
I know some things aren't working well or at all, for e.g. synchronization.
Play around with the buttons (the tooltips etc should tell you what they're for)
Features:
arrange data in notebooks and pages. (basically you create a notebook and then insert a page into it..)
There are two modes.. view/edit.. edit mode gives you basic text input where you can format text using the following wiki syntax (effect of formatting is only visible in view mode):
*text* - bold
\text\ - italic
_text_ - underline
+ (add more pluses upto 6) gives you heading (e.g. ++My heading)
~color:green~ any text after this will be green. you can use this for most named colors
[link to another page] link between pages (linking will automatically happen if you use CamelCase/wiki syntax.. you can enforce linking by putting [Notebook/Page name] <-- in square brackets as such. Links can be renamed as well [[renamed link][Notebook/ActualPage]]
[image:image name]
You can insert images using the button/menu options. these images are imported into the notebooks directory.
Search notes
tag notes
bookmark notes (you can even bookmark searches, the stored search will be re-run every time, so for e.g. if you bookmark a search with dates later than last week, then it'll give you new results every time)
Maintain clipboard history and auto insert copied stuff into current page. (keyboard is polled every second)
Most important feature:- You can just copy over your notebooks/bookmarks directory (or sync it using any sync tool), and the same notebooks/pages/bookmarks will be available on both PPC and Win32.
Download:
http://ace.xhaven.net/DN-Win32-PPC.zip
Installation:
- Just unzip the win32 and PPC directories to your desktop and PDA.. click on the exe to run program. Should work on wm2003/wm5/wm6
Known bugs/issues:
- clipboard isn't working on PPC
- PPC version is slower, doesn't have softkey support yet
- PPC Icons look wierd
- .... add more?
Disclaimer:
I make no claims that this will work properly, or even execute on your desktop/PPC. I dont owe you anything. Please try this at your own risk.
no one tried it yet?
Nice Idea
Thanks,
This is great idea, i tested the note book, it is good.
But quite difficult to use on mobile, can u change the interface to make it easy to understand and write.
You're right, the PPC version is not that easy to use. Hopefully I'll get some time on this weeked to fix that up, as well as allowing common actions to be performed using hard/soft keys.

Yes that would be cool, waiting for your new version.
My company site has unlimited space and bandwith so I figured why not give access to the people who have helped me the most!
Figure this would help when you are trying to get your new Roms, app, and other developments out there.
PM me with the username and password you would like and I will create you a directory on my server.
your url would be www.cybermetricsystems.net/whatever_you_want
I also offer a solution for dev's...I've had a thread about it before.
It allows an upload to be made which is stored on the server with a web seed.
Fastest way possible to distribute files. (also the first of it's kind)

Let the hosting games begin!
im all for ftps and such, but, why arent we using torrents rather than hammering a ftp/webserver?

I think main reason is so that the main file dosen't get altered and someone else reposts a crap file, but could host the .torrent file on the FTP if you like...
RAPIDSHARE!!!! lol, i actually paid premium for that thing..

Real reasons for here are:
Not always sufficient seeds
Can't access files on mobile
I've fixed the first, the 2nd is on it's way.
Also, torrent files can't be altered...the hash is dependent of the file contents.
Hi all devs for our fantastic phones...
I've got a site (xdafiles.net) with over 700 GB of space and 7,5 TB of bandwith/month.
Me, and many others with me, have been very frustrated over the random file sharing places that the devs use, and I've also seen many devs asking to get their files mirrored. I'll firstly make the files available through ftp/direct link download (available just after upload like any other server), and after files get added I'll make a ftp-browser for people to browse throught the files with a browser at xdafiles.net.
This server has very good speeds up/down, so no need to d/l with 100kb/s any longer!
DEVs, or other individuals wishing to contribute with some files related to xda, should leave a comment or PM me. I'll give you a user/pass for FTP. The adress for your files will be e.g. "http://xdafiles.net/novek/xxxxxxx.zip".
So, this is one of my possibilities to contribute, and hope that rapidshare etc. will no longer be used
I can also mirror stuff if need be. 100mbit, unlimited bw a month
