Is there any way we can get everyone to begin formatting their update dates the same way?
1/10/2008 could either mean January 10th, or October 1st depending on the culture.
So if everyone would start spelling the month it would be much less confusing. For example, instead of "11/09/08 - Super Cool update 20!" please use, "11th September, 2008 - Super Cool update 20!" or "November 9th, 08", etc. As long as the month is spelled out there is no confusion as to whether we're looking at an old update or a new update.
Very, very very good idea, I have the same trouble reading the post title...
problems with this are usually that the title gets really long........ once inside the post you should be able to tell because of the time stamp on the developers post
[01/10/2008] = 10 letters
[JAN 10, 08] = 9 letters (including spaces)
Which one is better?

Yeah, even better. Abbreviated month works too!
As far as long subjects go, some people go overboard with their subjects I think. I'd think that the date alone tells us if there's an update or not. We don't need to see what that update is in the subject. Subject should be something like "Jan 10, 08 - ProjectName - v1.03".
A perfect post, in my opinion anyhow, would be like:
Subject:
Jan 10, 08 - ProjectName - v1.03
Message text:
-ProjectName
-Author
-Current version number/date
-Project description
-Installation instructions
-Current version number/date
-Important notes
-changes
-links to download if needed
-Previous version number/date
-Important notes
-changes
-links to download if needed
-Previous... etc.
Many of the developers follow a procedure similar to this, but sometimes I come across a post that is just all muddled up and it's hard to tell where new info is, how to install, or sometimes even what the darn project is about!
Since one on my last Android app caused lots of discussion regarding the "ad-checker" tool, today I'd like to share with all the Android developers the simple peace of code that I'm using there, with the hope that other developers could start using and improving it.
Here it is:
Code:
public class AdChecker
{
private static Boolean m_adsValue = null;
private static final String m_adsChecker = "your_ad_provider"; // example: "admob"
private static final String m_adsHostFilename = "/etc/hosts";
public static boolean isAdsDisabled()
{
synchronized(AdChecker.class)
{
if(m_adsValue == null)
{
m_adsValue = Boolean.FALSE;
BufferedReader reader = null;
try
{
reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(m_adsHostFilename));
String line;
while((line = reader.readLine()) != null)
{
if(line.toLowerCase().contains(m_adsChecker))
{
m_adsValue = Boolean.TRUE;
break;
}
}
}
catch(Exception e)
{
}
finally
{
if(reader != null)
{
try
{
reader.close();
}
catch(Exception e)
{
}
}
}
}
return m_adsValue.booleanValue();
}
}
}
A simple usage of this class could be:
Code:
public class YourActivity extends Activity
{
@Override
public void onStart()
{
super.onStart();
if(AdChecker.isAdsDisabled())
{
// alert the user here
finish();
}
}
}
Please lets stop the "adblock" shame...
Brilliant.
I hate adblockers. I don't understand why people complain about an app having ads, if the ads are badly placed or obtrusive then simply don't use the app (or put that in the comments so the developer might change it).
Thanks for the code. I'll definitely be using it in the future
wont this block users who aren't currently connected to the internet though?

Short answer: no.
Slightly longer answer: You obviously don't know what you're talking about.
I don't like the ad blockers neither, If developers doesn't monetize their work they'll walk away to other platform if they have life with this.
I'm adding advertisement to my app too, this code is very useful to me. I'm gonna use it for sure, but instead of close the app I will place a custom advertisement of the paid version of my app. Thanks for this great snippet!
Hi,
i will not be forced to see advertising!
Adfree or others is a must have on my device.

Just as u have the right to block ads we have right to refuse service. Just remember nothing is free, if u believe otherwise you are sadly mistaken.

Id rather pay to remove ads but many apps don't have an ad-free version, hence i use adblocker.
Hi,
i buy good apps, but I hate this forced.

This is so nice, also you can add something like this
Code:
if(AdChecker.isAdsDisabled()){
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(MainActivity.this);
builder.setTitle("Dont be a bad guy!")
.setMessage("You have patched Hosts files. This softwares don't tolerate piracy!")
.setCancelable(false)
.setPositiveButton("Exit", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
System.exit(0);
}
});
AlertDialog alert = builder.create();
alert.show();
}

Fail.
1: Adblocking is not piracy.
2: Don't insult users by calling them bad guys.
3: Your message implies a demand for a system-wide removal of adblocking (your_ad_provider is probably admob). For most, the benefits of this outweigh your app.
4: IP address > obnoxious message.
5: I've bought apps with (blocked) ads before, simply to support the dev, or remove the still wasted screen space. Good luck seeing a cent if your app sticks it's nose where it doesn't belong, and pops up an insulting demand.
6: There are multiple ways around this.
Lol, any ****ty app that uses this to force feed ads will be deleted off my phone immediately. Want money? Make a paid version with no goddamn ads.
But this is also a catch 22, if your app is ad supported only with no paid version, its *probably* not worth installing anyways.

Thanks for this snippet of code! I'll be using this here in the next few days as I'm currently making the Ad-Supported free version of my app.
I'll probably go the route that another poster has mentioned and if they have ads blocked, put ad add/link to the pay version of the app.
Mucho gracias

What apps did you develop?

what will come next? check to see if i have a firewall and a virus scan installed?
i understand the decision the dev makes here
but since adfree blocks adds in a browser too its ridiculous in my opinion
especially since a 5min google search will give you 95% of the paid market apps for free

Work is fine, get paid by selling your app, not force feeding ads and using fag code like this. Dipshits like you will never have a really popular app.
Be like a real dev and cripple the demo, make all the sweet features paid for. But then again, your one feature wannabee apps wouldn't work then eh?
And since I'm a pirate for ad blocking what does it make me when I download all your .apks from google and not give you a dime.
P.s before you get all seriously worried, I have over 100 dollars worth of paid apps, all paid for.

I'm assuming "Custom ROM" by definition is going to have full unrestricted 4G tethering - both wifi and USB - with Android native hotspot app?
Also, why m860 in the thread title? Isn't Indulge SCH-R910 ?

And how could I forget... I'll throw in another $5 on top of my previous pledged, if we have the ability to "talk and surf". We all know it can be done and we all want it!
It's really too bad this is not bring picked up. I've been kicking around getting this phone but without any dev support there is no way in hell! It looks like a good phone, especially for pcs users!

2. Clockwork Recovery

Thanks for the recovery and Download Mode info. I have 3 versions of Odin and non pull the dump but all see the phone but assign 0 as an id which is odd as the epic gets anywhere usually from a 7 to 14 then the port number. Anyhow. version 1.67 doesnt open the dump id option nor does it offer the nand dump option as does the 1.3 versions. But those are all tested on the epic not sure if they apply here. I have not had the time to read thru all these threads so a cheat sheet would be greatly appreciated here.
Any more information is very much appreciated. Remember this is to BENEFIT you all.
I do not own one of these phone never plan on it and am here to merely help. Shabby "an ACSyndicate top dev" will be the one collecting the bounty and anyone he decides to bring in on it.

[Notice
Due to some objective circumstances, I have to give my X8 to one of my cousins by the end of this month. That means I will not be able to support all of my X8 works (GDX, FB, OC, UV, etc.). I will not be able to stay in our X8 scene, or to support our friends in X10M/X10MP section. v009 is the last version of my GDX series.
It's a bit pity that I cannot continue my "Sensify" progress.
I will miss you all

This is the shocking statement of DX just earlier.
Most of us will be probably sad for this, so I guess we take action and we help DX to get a new x8, coz development never stop. Its payback time for us to help the person who makes x8 worth using for.

Again Im so happy and Thank you so much for all of us. Pros and Cons I thank you all. I love this community so much
