15/5: Coding layout | 85% [WEBSITE][Project] Xperia X10 community - XPERIA X10 General

Current progress:
- 15/5: Coding layout | 85%
- 14/5: Coding layout | 65%
- 12/5: Layout done in Photoshop
I am currently working on a website I plan to "release". It will be like a community where there will be a forum, custom ROMs section, download section etc and alot more to be added. There will be easy guides for root'ing, installing custom recovery etc. There will also be a good place for developers to help eachother, guides for porting and such stuff and alot more.
The design of the website is all made by me with photoshop, and its is coded (by me) with pure HTML, PHP, CSS and MySQL. Of course the design is still in "beta", and there will propably be alot of changes to it. For instance the main box and the right-menu will be changed, since its ugly imo. As I said alot of things will be changed! As CMS we will use Wordpress!
If you'd like to work as a news uploader, moderator at the forum etc, feel free to contact me.
Here is a screenshot of the website (The text on it is wrote by me in like 3 minutes ):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
(Of cource the big "a1exander" text all over the screenshot is not on the website. )
Feel free to post comments on what could be better etc. Of cource its not very easy when the website isnt up yet, but still, you can look at the screen.
I dont know when the site will be up, but first I need a domain and host.
@ PlayGunsta : You were talking about that you could get a domain, if you're interested in cooperating, contact me.

sounds great, I would like to help you out with whatever as ill have a lot of free time this summer!

Again, it dedicated for the X10, not a million different devices. That means that the site is easier, more noob friendly. I know it can be hard for absolute noobs to know which thread to get to on how to root etc here on XDA. So this site will make it easier for them!
And the site will propably offer file hosting, so it'll be easy to have all x10 related on one site.
I'm think in the "custom ROMs" section, there will be a list of all available ROMs, with the most rated at the top, screenshots, Froyo/GB, specifications and all of that stuff. I certainly hope that developers will upload there ROMs themselfes!

Sounds like a good idea. I think that most beneficial would be an option to download any ROM and that kind of stuff from one place. XDA is good as people share they experience and communicate with each other, but it's still just a forum and despite the categorization these things are not grouped together, so having a dedicated website for X10 owners with all important stuff in it would be great. I'm looking forward to it

There is a couple of X10 dedicated sites out there. http://www.xperiax10.net/ is one of them.
Sent from my HAL 9000 from the future

Started using GO Launcher, Now using Arc Launcher

Honestly, this may have been a good idea worth doing about a year ago but right now anybody with an X10 that is even the slightest bit interested in rooting would have found their way here by now.

Effort is good however you can make it big if you shift your focus a bit.
Make it a front end for XDA.
what i would suggest is
Don't include forum... too much of overhead, also no need of creating parellel forum and dividing efforts.
Focus on custom ROM's.
Provide noob guides
Provide video's of ROM working.
Provide refer back links to XDA forum.....
Forum is basically for discussion, you can work on providing X10i specific work in concise format.
Create FAQ's and howto's and tips and tricks....

great site about great phone

Maybe do it for the arc as well?

I'm not even going to visit your site because of your cheap tactics to try to get free advertizing for your site. Please. Don't try to fool us. When you were saying "They" it was not a mistake. everything you have written was an attempt to decieve us. I'm not fooled.

Nothing against you personally. But I read through your other thread and the way you had written your posts - You were trying to make it seem that you had nothing to do with it and just stumbled on to it or something. I am sure it may be a very usefull site but I just don't like the way you presented it here (and why two different threads?)
sorry OK i made a mistake... now do you want to hold it on me for ever!!!!!! ok gosh!

I won't hold it against you forever. Maybe a day. I am glad to see that you are taking ownership. I will probably take a peek at your site. I have checked out your contributions to this site and you are right. You have contribued quite a bit. Your contributions are appreciated here and valued. Keep up the good work with your themes etc... Just remember not to take advantage of everyone here through trickery. If your site is that great, Take pride in it and take ownership. If there is trickery, thefts, Warez in your site than I would understand why you would not take ownership.
I have to admit - When I first saw this it was in your other thread on this. I didn't notice in your opening post *In this thread) that you actually say you worked on this site. I appologize; however, you did still appear very dishonest in the other thread and even in this one a little bit. You should go and edit your posts though so that things are clear with everyone. And don't clutter the forums with multiple threads.
thanks for understanding!!
i'm really excited about this website.... especcailly the mobile optimized version!!!! stay tuned!!
ps. yah i better edit the rest... heheh

I don't think advertising links to other forums is allowed on XDA. I don't like the idea of it either, it's as if you're trying to recruit people away from here.
Whatever you've got up there, I'm sure XDA has it, or better. If not, google sure does.
XDA is the place to be.
Why do we need to register and log in? We don't like doing that. It's inconvenient and possibly a loss of precious time.

Doesn't facebook allow discussion boards? I'm sorry but I am really too lazy to check 2+ places for the same information which I can read about on here.
LOL Alright I think I'll make that a place to share my lesser creativity
by the looks of that forum i didn't know we were going back to the early 2000's style of web design
I'll stick with XDA.. =)
Wow you guys are harsh! lol xda is a relay cool site but im not to keen on the way it looks.
What im trying to do is make one big massive list of links to everything I have found for the x1. And im hoping other members will contribute what I haven't found.
I relay like the black and lime green skin but other members have complained so il make another skin and give the option to change it in the near future.
There are links to xda on my site so advertising works both ways? I hope I havnt upset any of the staff and I apologise if i have.
Iv never done anything like this before I just woke up one morning and decided to make a site lol I havnt a clue what im doing but im a fast learner. Im hopeing the site will work. thanks for your feedback.

Face Book dose allow discussion boards but I was limited to what I could do... links looked messy, and to add links to the page I had to enter them into a text box that was smaller than my x1 screen. It was a pain in the bum. pluss now we have extra features such as a spell checker, the ability to upload pics, signatures and avators and so on...........
Thanks for your contributions to the site Deechan
maybe provide the information in the threads free? I wont register when i dont know whats in there
maybe downloads only for members but viewing of threads should be free
The site is 100% totally FREE to use I'm not making any M0nny from this whatsoever. There are no downloads on the site I'm just helping people find where the downloads are.
You must become a member to view the forums coz I want site users to GIVE and take. Use our useful links and submit links for others to use
Post Removed The games that were here can still be found on the proboards site
I would remove that
These are Warez.
But my idea was to keep the threads free for all.... to read
and if someone try to follow a link he have to register...
would be more teasing than this "crappy" (sry ) design
Sorry what are Warez? crappy design? I like the skin lol. But there are more than a few that dont. I intend to make an alternative skin when im next off work.
To be honest, I think the idea of a whole board dedicated to the Xperia is a nice idea. XDA is great, dont get me wrong, but it's just not quite as specialized. I've seen topics and questions that get replies like "Oh, I had that problem on my HTC diamond" or "I did this on my other smart phone". So I suppose it's not always relevant or helpful, despite good intentions.
Give the guy a break, eh? I'm sure none of you all would find it very pleasant if you posted something you thought was interesting or helpful, and a bunch of people replied with nasty comments or called it spam.

May I suggest to rename "Android Development" to "Junk Yard" ?

Hi All,
I'm not trying to be the forum police here, but I notice more and more irrelevant topic posted there in Android Development section. There are topics ask for general enquiry like can't send mms after flashing new rom (cause of missing APN setup), some posting his/hers GPS issue or survey etc etc.
There are very few real development topic posted there. I appreciate very much contribution from Lagfix developer like RyanZa, Voodoo. theme creator like Tayutama, Doc.
But mixing the section with other posting will slowly cause information searching difficult.
Either we rename the section or we really need think before we post a topic.
Just my 2 cents.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I totally agree.
With all due respect, where does http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=738589 belong? You posted that, but it isn't about development.. Developers already know what Froyo advantages there are, and a video doesn't help them, because it doesn't explain the new API's.
The problem is that the sections aren't well defined, and should probably be renamed.. Development should maybe be renamed to "programming" or Patch/custom rom development (to make it a lot more aggressive). There should maybe be a Testing section, and descriptions for the categories should be changed a bit.
Because one would think that testing GPS for a new rom might seem relevant to new developers (but in reality doesn't belong in there, unless you plan to fix it).
I'll also add that whilst I've seen a few of these posts, I haven't actually seen any complaints by developers themselves. A better strategy might be for you to contribute more, so that the harmony of the forum is restored?

BEST idea ever, I think :
[Releases] Android Development
[Q&A] Android Development
Good Idea? Hit me if not xD
I think we should have a new sub forum for Android Development Q&A, I do get wound up when all I can see is help threads when i'm looking specifically for firmware modifications. But, I don't let it worry me and I still tend to help people even if they are posting in the wrong place.
Do not let this Thread die, i really want to get the Forum cleaner!
HTC tatto Android development should be an example, totally agree...

we have a lack of enough Mods to keep an eye on all the sub forums, so i don't blame them
most people posting they don't even read the rules, and post where they feel like posting, and that's the problem

Some people might misinterpret this though.. IF you specifically change Development to Programming, it probably locks it down more to code..
Q&A for development is probably wrong though.. Maybe QA (Quality assurance)/Testing? Because the real intentions I feel should be to separate mod development/coding from people screwing around reporting bugs in new ROM's, etc. At the moment, testing of official samsung ROM'sand reporting of problems can fit in a few categories realistically. And that's the problem.
But it doesn't actually bother me honestly. But it would be nice if the forum names were a bit less ambiguous

Well that is what I would suggest too (maybe Android Development and Android Issues). And have a restricted topics creation in Releases so only developpers could post.
I think the problem here is the following, Im no coder so nothing i know about coding or anything but if i for example want a new ROM or check if there is something new to download and flash, i really really can't find much in the current state. Too much questions laying around most of them even unrelated to Development.
I dont care about how they are named, just do something about this. No more problems finding downloads please

[Tool] Any interest in bringing the VCK here?

I'm working on the VCK over on the Vibrant forums. Read about it here.
I'm trying to gauge if there's interest for this on other Galaxy S phones.
What would happen is there would be a separate tab for this phone where I could add devs/categories to.
Devs would then build their lists and the program would automatically reflect the changes.
Why it might be useful: it's an extra way to get your product out there, and a good way to store all the mods/themes for your ROM in one place. The program has the ability to zip up APKs/files in its queue and make them a flashable zip, or it can just directly download files from a web server (for ROMs and other already-made flashables).
It's great for noobies to add any bloat they might want back as well as other things. Plus, it's good for making blank flashable zips for quick modifications, and the like.

Instead of a Repo tab, if there might be a Vibrant tab & a Captivate tab (and maybe any other phone that has interest).
They key is community involvement. I don't this model nor do I have the time to live on all Galaxy S subforums to keep up with all the modems/apps/roms each phone differs with

For the Fascinate wouldn't it be the FCK? Then we could just add Samsung to the end of it and it'll be the FCK Samsung tool.

Yeah someone would have to input all the APKs & setup a text file with all the proper values for all the Fascinate apps, and then each dev that would like a separate repo would need to upkeep their own text file.
I'm willing to provide hosting for anyone that is interested in this. Hopefully my host can handle XDA
I would **LOVE** to see a kitchen for Android, probably the only thing I miss from my WinMo 6.1 Vogue is the ability to cook up a Rom to my specifications whenever I wanted. I like the name suggestion of 'FCK Samsung', but wouldn't it need to be a Samsung Galaxy S Custom Kitchen to encompass multiple varients? Or did I mis-read the intent by the OP?

FCK Samsung was mainly a joke
I think including "Kitchen" in the name of the program misleads people as it doesn't have the ability (yet) to cook roms. Just add things to your current ROM.
How is a "Rom Kitchen" different than using Rom Manager and a Rom that allows for customization, such as Sonofskywalker3's Blackhole?
That would be REALLY nice to have. I would use FCK Samsung. All jokes aside, yes, port it!

It allows the user to "cook" a rom completely to their preference. That's why I said the title of my program might be misleading as it does not have functionality to spit out ROMs (except the ones devs post).

Again, I'm missing the difference between "cooking" a rom to my preference in a 'kitchen', and "customizing" a rom to my preference in 'rom manager'
Not trying to be a pest, I'd really like the clarification
Okay, so everyone seems to enjoy dicking around with the name, but no one wants to explore what possibilities a ROM Kitchen could present to the user?

[Q] New developer in the making...

I've decided to try be a contributor to this community however im already stumbled on my first step which is how do I get Eclipse installed and working. I've googled this and I get outdated links, download wrong Java packages etc. So if someone could spell it out with links below. That would be much appreciated!

Watch this video, should explain how to set it up.
You don't install Eclipse, it's a stand alone package rolled up in a zip/tar file. You extract it, double-click on the .exe (if windows) and it will run.

STFU, at the least the guy is trying. Contribute or get out of here.
OP: Are you trying to write apps, or develop ROM / port things for the phone.
If you're trying to write apps, this might a good reference point:
http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/projects/projects-eclipse.html
However, this may not be the right forum if you're trying to learn how to do that.
If you want to make ROMs or port.... that's considerably tougher and you usually don't use Eclipse for that....

Google Search has been most helpful for me for porting MIUI. Also, if you can't find what you're looking for on google, go to webchat.irondust.net and join the #epic room. Devs can help you there, but google first please.

STFU, at the least the guy is trying. Contribute or get out of here.
OP: Are you trying to write apps, or develop ROM / port things for the phone.
If you're trying to write apps, this might a good reference point:
http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/projects/projects-eclipse.html
However, this may not be the right forum if you're trying to learn how to do that.
If you want to make ROMs or port.... that's considerably tougher and you usually don't use Eclipse for that....

Don't really care about this guy. At least I got my answer. Tysm for the video link. The first thing the video discusses is how confusing it is to get started just trying to download JDK.
Secondly, I plan on first making some basic apps and understanding the way Android works. Then, possibly may go more advanced with themeing and such.
Lastly, I want to point out I'm not alone in this post. YES you can GOOGLE what I asked for in this thread. Hardly any of your search results you get back from Google will be clear and concise and I appreciate some people understanding that not everyone is fluent in the ways of Android development.
I flashed mostly everything interesting on these forums whether its roms or themes or mods. I look up to the developers at ACS among all the others.
I believe this is a relevant post and a lot of people feel the same way I do.
Thank you.
I am also heading down this path. Do you have programming experience?

Theming/ROM/Kernel development are seperate from app development, as I'm sure you are aware. Two different beasts entirely, actually. I would start with ROM and theming ventures first to really learn how the operating system works, then move to kernel development to see how things are actually interacting.
App development is a whole 'nother ballgame, writing apps in Java is really the nitty gritty of the works. To understand this, it would help to know how things in the OS work.

Yes I do. I've had experience in Java it's just been years! But um I don't think the basics of programming will be any trouble. I've already attempted to read up on some Android Programming Tutorials. My main hurdle was getting this set up on my computer so I could follow along with a guide. I do realize themeing and developing are apples and oranges but they are both interesting to me. I read someone's post long ago (not sure who) to begin writing apps and then maybe try one's luck to create ROMs.
Hey bud, congrats on trying to learn this stuff. We at ERA started out just as you did about 3-4 months ago with a similar post. It is tough going at first but there are plenty of people out they're willing to help. The devs in this community are great and I feel confident in speaking for ERA, and from coming from where you are, that if you need any help or have questions feel fee to pm us and we'll do our best to help.
Like I said it was a post like this, a couple dudes messing around on our free time, and some great help that led to what our team has become, so anything is possible, bro. Good luck.

Hey thanks! That's even more inspiring to hear from you guys at ERA especially since i'm enjoying the new legendary ROM... And wow 3-4 months ago? I highly doubt I'll get to that level in that same amount of time but I've flashed everything for this epic and we all know at some point we're going to run out of things to flash until we figure out how to port ICS over. That's the time I would like to be a contributor to the development for this phone. thank you so much for the support!
