I wonder why no one here uses dropbox (www.dropbox.com). It gives you 2 gb for free and you use it as a windows (or whatever OS) folder, so you just drag and drop files there and they get uploaded. Then you get a direct link to share the file. Seems like a whole lot better alternative now that most of these hosting sites are having problems or are being closed.
or google code, or sourceforge...
Yeah, that would work even better.
And when files on dropbox and you have dropbox account , you can copy files from someone dropbox to ur dropbox.
This is the primary reason why Dropbox is not used for sharing ROMs.

When lots of people download one file, it gets too popular and uses too much bandwidth, thus Dropbox temporary suspends downloads. You can imagine the results.
I think Google Code would be better here.

ah, I wasn't quite aware of that. Seems logic.
Theres another site 'dev-host'.
And using box.net or min.us works too!
Box.net also lets you know when someone has downloaded your file and
Gives you weekly statistics on whats being downloaded and where and how many times! XD
RIP MegaUpload, too bad I had stuff uploaded there such as backups of private stuff

Box.net seems a good ideia. I haven't used nothing from my 50 Gb prize from SE. (It's forever or just for one year?) I can't use the app from the phone. It force closes on my X10 MP, but I was able to get the bonus. This 50 Gb should be enough for a dev, don't think so?

No, the 50GB one managed to snatch through the Promo is lifetime (now take your pick whatever it means).

Well, seems you missed out two simple facts ...
1. Box has the same limitation as Dropbox ... more than 10GB traffic a day and your account is temporarily suspended till the next day.
2. While the 50GB Promo upgrade comes with the bonus that you can now upload larger files (5GB Free account = 25MB/file - 50GB Promo (not to be mistaken with the 50GB Business Plan) = 100MB/file), a file still must not be larger than 100MB. This means if your ROM is larger than 100MB you'd have to split it into volumes. While you could now argue "well, then I simply create volumes and link them for download" this only increases the margin of errors (like users missing out on downloading the 2nd/3rd/... segment therefore increasing the spam posts about "can't extract the file I downloaded").
Using min.us would be a possibility, though I'm sure most devs will simply stick to MultiUpload.

Yea, Multiupload is just epic. They must have pretty strong servers if they also upload the file to Uploadking, Rapidshare etc.

Someone should create a Craigslist application unless a free one already exists I don't know about? Lol.
and also a kijiji app
I think windows mobile is the only OS that doesn't have it. My friends have it on their Droids and iPhones.
I have been recently wondering. If an app has been created for droid and Iphones. how hard is it to make the exact same or similar app for us WM users?

It has to be built from the ground up for WM...android and iphones are based on the same core technology in terms of the OS, but WM is a completely different beast. That's why you'll usually see the android and iphone versions of a software title appear at almost the exact same time, and then rarely if ever a matching WM release

I'll write a much more touch-friendly CL app when I get a chance in a few weeks.

why do you need an app?
Seems like cl works just fine using the browser. I also have used the browser for google voice, gmail, etc... they all work fine (of course you have to do some zooming at times to select links).
The one thing I haven't found yet is a very good web based im client. I've played with ebuddy but am not sure if it's very good yet.

Any RSS reader can read Craigslist. Some RSS readers have alarms for keywords as well.

For the same reason that dedicated apps exist for Facebook and anything else-- a native app can offer a much easier and faster on-the-go experience. Craigslist is a pretty simple site, but it still requires lots of panning and zooming to use on a phone. A solid mobile client would take care of that.

Just wondered if you had the time to write a more "touch-friendly CL app" yet?
I would love to try it.
You could just save your local CL as a bookmark and attach it as a quicklink.
It helps if you add as a browser tab, and go into the site. This way the sites page is saved as a icon image. Then make it a quicklink.
Hello i am a htc hd2 owner and i know how hard it is to find some apps and games for this divice as there dotted all over the internet.
i only just started 2 night just made a quick design and 1 app to download in html but i am soon to make this into an app in the next 2 weeks. i have about 130apps i know of and tested on the phone and will give them all ratings and so on but atm its just the design stage.
Just want to know what you think of the basic design.
Be warned this is very early stages i have 2 weeks of work and plan to make it withing 2 weeks.

it works now, but i dont like the idea of a web browser app... if there's enough votes, I can build a (awesome looking + fast), app store (more like a repo, but will work the same way)...
I know php, so im thinking have a web portal for devs/app-makers to upload apps to... and then have an client app as a download portal... and I can prolly make it have a metro-esque UI... i have a huge collection of apps, but most of them are paid, so unless lets say gameloft decides to upload them to the repo and get paid through an app like this... theres no way to put those on there even :-/... if you guys want one for free apps/games... jsut comment below...
Hey, this is a great idea and could blow up in a big way for the forum users/cooks! Even if you did an app, the cooks could have you put in a section for them so you could link their ROMs and tweaks all in one handy location. Problem I see is so many people wanting it to be updated all the time and you not having the time to do it; and I doubt you would get enough donations to make this a full time job! But I do think this is a great idea, app or browser based! Looks promising so far!
my plan is to make it into an app it was just a little test only spent a few min on it last night. Just design stage at the moment.
cool... yea lemme know if u need help... ... and i still prefer the design to be something metro-esque... HD2 deserves better eye candy than the iPhone
EDIT: Oh and dont like the idea of hosting files on megaupload... I have a server with lots of space and unlimited bandwidth... so like I said... web portal for devs/companies to upload apps... and client portal on phone to download straight from the server...

Yea...sorry frustrated. The site wont let me update it though. Stuck with it now.
I don't know how that petition site works so not sure if you can edit your existing text, but it should only include the facts of the issue which are:
- microSD card support does not work 4 months after release
- no word on when 4G support will be available 4 months after release
As we wait, neither of the above features work as we watch other tablets release with fully functional microSD slots and 4G support.
My opinion (and is only my opinion) at this point, I have lost 1/2 the value of the tablet for the features that should have already been implemented. Maybe even more since the Xoom was already priced more than any tablet that released with these features working.

Put that in the comments of the petition that way when I print it out they see all that.
I just see all these concerns being wasted in this forum when they could be put there and printed out and mailed ya know.

I signed it although I think it should have been proofed better. But that does not take away the fact that we have been screwed with the microSD card and 4G issue four months later. Xoom 2 talk already? Are you kidding me? Xoom 1 was never finished.

Awesome thank you. We need the support.
So Fruit Cake Maker is finally on the last stages of its creation. Either today or tomorrow you will be able to play with it. I cut the paid version out in favor of just an ad supported version, and i have laid a road map for updating it for the rest of next year.
So with the great news fresh in the air, i have commandeer this post once again to ask you guys for your help. You see, i can program, but i cant draw for shiznet.
So with all that said, if anyone would like to create an icon, for Fruit Cake Maker, i would really appreciate it, and will give you full credit!
the standard icon is 72x72 and png.
_________
btw:
once Fruit Cake Maker is out and about, i will begin work on an application to ease searching for new builds.
the goal of the app will be to back up your data. clear it! and cache. set the server to connect to, and launch the setup so you can create the fake account connect to moto and try to update.
if more people can test more often, we will be finding more builds like 2.3.5 or who knows, maybe even ics
Brilliant idea!! What about copyrights etc etc though? For example all the purchased apps that will be distributed? Or am I missing the point (probably am..)?
it dosnt touch cache or data, so none of the users personal data or apps will be included on the zip, the app will make.

Copyright infringement will apply to those who are actually bundling paid apps alongside the ROMs, it will not affect FCM as FCM is a means to make backups and helping others if they don't know how to upgrade to the latest ROMs.
It's the responsibility of the ROM owner to make sure that he/she isn't bundling paid apps with the ROM.
Brilliant idea I say. "p

The apps already available on the market. And google docs now allows you to upload any files up to 5gb. *not sure if it wasn't just the same before*

I got it two days ago. Seriously it isn't impressive for me. My Google documents and drive seem to be collaborated. I believe mediafire is the best.
True , I found Google drive much better for uploading personal pictures and other multimedia stuff. For small files I thing drive is more convenient.
Plus , the current Google app for drive doesn't allow to change privacy settings as of now.
I am still not used to the sharing mechanism.
Like in mediafire , when you make a file public , you can Google it and you can have a direct download link.
Till now , I made some of my files public , tried googling them , but couldn't find them. Plus I found no direct download link. Maybe drive is not meant to be used the way I am using it.
I still prefer other websites like mediafire as of today for public sharing.

The promo they had was probably to get customers/user.
I like dropbox and i think drive is gonna be something like it, and will seamlessly blend with the whole android experience, being made by google. It's just at the start. I think it has potential, and we just have to wait.
I can live with 5gb as long as it offers functionality and comfort in use. See Apple's cloud services, dropbox, microsoft's etc...they pretty much all offer around the same amount of free storage, no?
One more thing. The only reason why i use only dropbox for the time being is that it integratest perfectly with my computer and my phone. I just hope that drive will be just the same...
