I don't know if this is appropriate for this forum. If not than will a moderator please remove this post.
I just invited a bunch of people to Dropbox (I picked up an invite from a user on this forum a few weeks ago).
While looking around Dropbox's website I noticed that they are looking for an Android dev to make a Dropbox app for Android.
Since times are hard I thought I would post it up here in case any of the xda devs were interested in making some money! Thought since this was an Android developer forum I would post this up.
I would really like this see this app to happen! It would be GREAT!!!!
Here is the link:

Once again. If this in inappropriate for this forum will a moderator please delete this post.
I read the flame thread about Feeyo's Rom.
The thread has been locked and there's is no reason to re-discuss.
Both sides have their rights for what happen. The loosers for all these are the users who wish to use Feeyo's Roms and they did not found even a single thread to forward them to Feeyo's Roms - Site.
Unlike this treatment to these users there are link to Rom (I did not mention which one everybody can easily found which one) that contains not free software as Launcher Pro Plus Tapatalk Pro maybe more. By the way roufianos asked to remove such software from his rom to remain the link in the forum.
Sorry for my English and respect the users to have possibility to try even more roms.
As an idea you can characterized these Roms as NON GPL or something like this.
With Respect to your Work and other Developers Work but also with respect to the Freedom of Choice.
Charalampos Papadopoulos
Chances are this topic is another candidate to get locked.
Have you even read the post about the GPL? Do you understand why "NON-GPL" topics are not allowed on here?
It isn't about freedom of choice. The GPL license is all about freedom - copyright freedom (hence its copyleft nature). The face that developers wish to live in their capitalist copyright world and not share their progress with others is appalling and IMHO shouldn't be tolerated.
So you asked about the users. They aren't really affected. Feeyo deleted his website - hence why no links are remaining in use. This was nothing to do with XDA but he himself having a hissy fit.
AFAIK none of the remaining ROM's being discussed here use Launcher Pro Plus or Tapatalk Pro. Many use Launcher Pro but that is free anyway. Please report any which are not complying to the mods and they can deal with it.
Thread locked. Please read btdag's post.
Please report any ROMS using warez and I will personally investigate with the other mods.
Closed as per policy on discussion regarding feeyo issue.
I've decided to post this regardless of the potential consequences to my membership here. To the mods, you've now closed airbus360's ICS thread despite a final warning to members that continued off-topic posts in violation of forum policy would be enforced. Despite this, instead, mods have locked the entire thread. This site has progressively become a zoo and TBH it is the fault of the site staff.

Personally its idiotic posters who wreck the forum .
not saying this is an idiotic post as i dont know the subject in question .
One has only to read posts on the forum to realize its hard to be a developers forum when its full of kindergarten users .
Mods don't get paid and there are few if any volunteers from the mass of users .

codeworkx sums it up for you in one of the last posts in that thread. I believe it wasn't closed because of spam, rather an incompetent, donation requesting developer giving false hopes to the uninformed.
I fully understand this having direct experience with forum admin/mod duties on, dare I say, BlackBerry forums. Idiotic posts are specifically for site staff to manage, the continued bantering allowed in response to an individual idiotic post is a significant contributor, as is the elitist attitudes of some. That's all I'm saying (P.S. Your username seems familiar to me...).

Crachel (site moderator) gave this warning before closing the thread.
'Wow, cifs module affects wifi? I'm more amazed everyday at this thread and the absolute nonsense being spewed from here. Your claims of what you're fixing would be in the kernel making your next "release" require source per GPL. So go ahead and upload/link that too or I'm locking this thread to put these noobs out of their misery'.

P.S. Your not a lemming, people don't NEED to donate anything, and to be honest, no disrespect, but codeworkx now jumping in and essentially hijacking the thread I'm sure is against forum policy as well. No I'm ready to be crucified lmao.

site staff should make it mandatory to display every users age, then we can really see how young those people are.
Did you guys really think that one lone developer would be able to pull off something the entire Hacksung team wasn't able to do (without kernel sources?)
What codeworkx did what right, IMO.
What XDA needs is more serious developers, not little kids trying to do something that's way beyond their reach. I've read nearly all the pages in that thread and it was a complete joke. I'm so glad that thread got locked.
All I saw from airbus was asking for donations, asking for other people to compile the builds, posts about failed builds and some pretty embarrasing theories as to why something wasn't working.
I'm all for this site being a learning ground for everyone who wants to develop, but there should be a special section for that. He is just not experienced enough to pull off a fully working ICS AOSP ROM for the GS2, and with that in mind, he shouldn't be allowed to pull wool over all the users' eyes.
Cool down bro .... nothings lost ! both teamhacksung and airbus are all at the same level so unless sammy can give them a proper workable build none of those guys are gonna fork out anything usable.
No one apart from sammy can fix stuff on there devices as the kernel source is still closed sourced so i would say at this point , there no use in ranting on why a ASOP or CM rom is not released or closed ! ...
I you still want to vent your anger vent at sammy for not releasing the source.
First of all, the thread was not a dev thread, it was a "dogs and cats in heat" hostage situation. 156 pages of nothing, over nothing and for nothing. While I can't comment on Airbus360's competence, he did stirred the waters by achieving a decent build of ICS - though no audio,cameras and SD. It doesn't matter how he did it- it's all part of GPL game. Saying that wifi is broken because of cifs.ko(or whatever cifs was he talking about) provided some clues for the devs.
Codeworkx said what he said, so if that's true, the work of Airbus360 can be replicated easily in a matter of minutes - given the fact that everybody coming here should have a clue about github and kernels.
What DOES matter is how people expect XDA to be a community for all.
IT IS NOT. IT HAS NEVER BEEN, NOR WILL IT BE.
It's open for a lot to read and here,@reading, it all should be stopped. Read, read, understand, read more and maybe, maybe then, post something, post something USEFUL. We don't pay for servers, nor we see a flood of banners here.
It's not a Sammy/HTC/ HP support forum.
2 things killing the sgs2 forum
Increasing number of:
1. n00b devs asking for donations for kanging
2. n00bs that just wont read
The culprits are getting away with it, on a daily basis.

This is unfortunately true in particular your second point, the same questions being asked over and over again, even last year on the HD2 forums we had this issue but it's become much worse in 2011 and i think when newbies register they should have be given a list of FAQ's and told to search the forum for any questions they might have where the chances are they will find the answer and only if they cant then start a thread where people will help, failure to do that should result in infractions leading to bannings,it may sound harsh but i believe it would be effective.
Well I am of the mindset to simply provide a noob with a reply or information regarding their question while others choose to gang up, berate and rudely direct them to search for themselves, c'est la vie. All of this contributes to a cluttered and chaotic thread. We were all noobs once, remember that.

This is what I was partly referring to, mods provided a final warning that infractions would be handed down to individual users, instead the entire thread was closed. Make up your minds.

Unfortunately whilst we're all indeed noobs once, some of us read and search, rather than post new threads.
I've been following airbus twitter for quite a while now and something that bothered me after some time was the numerous attempts for donations while the progress was none... saying that he needed more ram... showing his laptop going berserk while compiling... posting pictures and links of the new computer he needed... and his progress was always two steps behind cm9 while he owes me nothing and
i respect his work even though he didn't accomplished nothing new he's learning from the experience and i had some fun following him on twitter. the subliminal donation messages became very annoying after a while... and why post a dozen threads of alpha roms where none is daily material ? i don't understand it ...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
to add my opinion here, airbus never asked for a donation directly or never gave assurance that he will fix all the existing problems. Normally its the othe forum members who flooded the thread with ETA and some OT discussion. preferably the mod could have cleaned the thread instead of closing it, i feel like a growing dev is being supressed. no offense to any one, just my opinion though

WArning was given at 5.21 pm and thread closed at 6.30 pm, isnt that too short for a warning?
Hello,
Is there a way to get free apps yet and addons like we can with Cydia/Installious for iPhone?
If so, please could someone point me in the correct location, it would be much appreciated.
Yes, go on play store and look through all the free apps.
As for what you are actually asking. We do not allow discussion of such things as this is classed as warez or warez discussion which if you had read the forum rules would be obvious to you.
XDA is a developer forum so ripping off developers by allowing warez is not and never will be allowed.
Thread closed.
I was trying to find the thread and for some reason, it might bave been deleted. What gives? I figure it might be because of that stupid rom that is asking for profit?
There was plenty of good information in that thread especially for us users of the dual sim note3. I wish it could be restored, and just the crap paid rom deleted...
Might have been archived, use the thread in the general section of XDA to ask a staff member.

I have got this message from mod:
Discussing for pay roms is not allowed, especially when it involves malware. Thread has been removed.
I have already ask him why because I do not understand. I have written instal guide to SVA 3.5 (cause I have it) but it was also for 2.0 which is free. If it is against rules, then OK, he can delete 2 or 3 posts and say, stop talk about it. And not to delete complete thread with usefull infos.
And if it has malware, then he should tell us more about it.
Censorship is very bad thing!
Is it no fair deleted this thread... it was one of the most usefull ones.
Please delete posts about paid ROM and restore this thread.
I was also disappointed not finding the 40+ page thread about the N9002 today. I was specifically looking for the fix to the following:
Others.xml fix for caller ID issue (I have since found it elsewhere, and the "-1" parameter value worked for me).
Fix for Google Account randomly signing out (it happened to me first two times I rebooted since loading a new ROM, but hasn't reoccured the rest of today).
Fix the "process com.google.process.gapps has stopped..." error (I've cleared app cache for some google apps, so now under observation).
The N9002 thread was very useful, so I am also hoping that only the SVA related posts should be deleted.
I just upgraded my N9002 to the latest N9002ZNUDMK1 today, loaded CWM recovery, and then a 3rd party ROM. I'm loving the N9002 more and more now.

I did not know about that rom having malwares. Never really liked that SVA. Good thing i stayed away from it. However, its still unfair to delete the whole thread because of it.
Reading through and cleaning a +400 post long thread every few weeks isn't feasible. If you see people discussing something that obviously goes against multiple forum rules then please report them.
By being complacent you're doing nothing but driving off good devs and hurting everyone else who has the device.

Ok, thanks for clarifying. So, can we create a new n9002 thread now or can we just ask this thread renamed to the n9002 thread? I still would want to see people getting directed to the right place when they search n9002 xda forums in google...
N9002 with the SVA ROM 3.1
Thanks for open a new thread :good::good:
I use the N9002 and have it rootet and a Custom Multilanguage Rom
Now speak my N9002 German and Work like a Charm.
I thought we were told to keep away from talking about paid roms?

sorry, no offence, but you are lying.
You write that the +400 posts long thread is full of posts against rules but at the same time you write that you can not read it and clean it, so how do you know?
We are talking about one post where somebody (not me) has posted direct link to that paid ROM.
Or is SVA forbidden here completely? Also the free ROM?
I have sent you PM, I would be glad if you post the answer here. I dont know if i am alowed to do it myself when you have threatened me with this:
Any further discussions about it, whether in the open or over private message, will be considered spamming and may lead to restrictions on your ability to access the forums.
Maybe I get banned anyway, but for nothin, just for saying politely my opinion and asking questions.
I do not intend to spam, but I hate censorship. And all what you did was without explanation, so it is censorship.
i will not post here any until I get answers from mods here. It seems that its forbidden here at all?!
On the other hand i dont understand you.

Calling someone a liar isn't very "polite". If your goal is to get banned just say so, there's no need for the passive aggressiveness.
As was explained in the private message to you, do not discuss it here. Talking about for-pay ROMs in any way shape or form is not allowed. If you want to advertise them for you can do it from your own website.
Ok, now thats that done. I suggest that this thread be closed and I'll just create a new n9002 thread.
...
Shame. I am one of the many owners of N9002 that had benefited from information in that thread. There were many useful posts in that thread that didn't have anything to do with paid ROM's at all. There were techniques to root, debloat, and put back Google stuff on N9002. Only because there were some guys posted about a paid ROM the entire thread was deleted?
Thread closed on op's request. If there are any further questions please feel free to PM me and I will be happy to answer them.
