a few days ago i posted a thread then some guy came and bastardized my post with his spam. But i would love to know why it cant be done. If you would kindly click on the links in the post you would see that i have provided research and there are indications that it is possible.

NOT ACCPETNG NEW REGISTRATIONS
I'm hosting an exclusive Windows Mobile Serve. I can only have 10 Members though as I am running this from my server at my house. I have a good line though and its very fast. I just cant have thousands of down loaders.The server will contain a forum, a directory, and I will allow blogs for whoever wants their own. I am pretty experienced with web development and I can definitely get this running very smoothly. This server will be 100% private and monitored only by me. Depending on how big this project goes I will possibly buy a commercial service. It all depends.
Some of the perks:
FTP access 24/7
42.2GB of Storage for you all.
MySQL Databases
Php
Latest word press, or other web software that I will ok.
Some Rules. (Minor)
This is on a first come first serve basis. Inactive members on server for over a month will be automatically deleted to serve more members.
Keep the forum intelligent. Please don't use chat speak its horrible, and very obnoxious.
Enjoy my work.
I will review all membership requests.
Alright Who wants to Membership!?

Not sure about the lower post users can you present anything to prove your trustworthy?
Updated 42.2Gb Now. Only 10 members.
so you doubled the capacity but cut to 10 members??? BTW I forgot, this is Development and Hacking section, I think this should be posted somewhere like General section or Off Topic section. And so...if you already have the BIG 10 members what's next? Thanks man
sign me up please
I think you should only sign up those members who has 100 and up posts and those who really into winmo..like me I have my own blog that tackles about winmo...just a thought
reserve a spot for me, please
Good idea 100 post rule.
sounds like a great idea count me in plz

oooo a vip server ey, i was looking for one
can you count me in as well, if it aint too late?
thanks alot
/!\ BE AWARE OF YOUR APP, DavinciDevelopers try to steal them and sell them on the market !!
Hello guys,
Be careful, if you post an apk of your free app here, somebody will try to take the apk, remove the signature, and upload it as a paid version on the market !

How is it possible ?
Google does not check your apk signature when you upload a software.
Even if you signed yous apk with you key, somebody else can put this on his google account.
The signature can be deleted easily if needed.
He can change the title of your app, so nobody see it, but he can't change the apk name nor the icon.
Why do we post our apk here ?
To have testers, to correct bugs, to have a perfect look and feel before put it on the market.
Because on the market people are rude, we have only one chance, so we need to avoid bugs.
And when we put our app online, we want to choose if it's paid or free (with ads or not).
What is the problem ?
If DavinciDevelopers steal and upload your app, he will lock your pak name.
2 apps can't have the same name on the market.
You may have a name like com.myname.myapp.apk
Where "myname" is the same in every app you do.
If he take that, this is a major issue for you because you will be associated to him on every search (google.com, market...).
So, you will have to change your app name and maybe your company name....
Within 1 or 2 days, the market is parsed from androlib, androidzoom, appbrain... and it's done. Google.com will see those websites, and you are trapped.
You will have your buggy app on the market, some people will pay for that, the thief will have some money, and every users will have a bad opinion of your app.
Why DavinciDevelopers does this ?
To make benefit from your work.
Because he doesn't care you are working from a long time on your app.
Because he doesn't care if your work is ruined, he will find somebody else.
How can we be protected ?
Because 2 apps can't have the same name, you should put your app on the market first.
If your app is in development stage, you can upload it as "draft", so it will not be visible on the market, but the name will be locked.
Who is DavinciDevelopers ?
Somebody that have 83 apps on the market !
Almost all of them are themes.
If you look the package name you can see for example :
com.nd.android.pandatheme.p__3d_android_theme
at :
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-nd-android-pandatheme-p__3d_android_theme-qAmiz.aspx
google search : "pandatheme", first link :
http://home.pandaapp.com:888/
So he is not a developer. He makes themes with a free online tool and sell them... nice.
And for the real apps he uploaded (about 5), they all are stolen, coming from poland, germany, and other places.
Almost every of them comes from XDA dev forums.
ps : this message should be marked as sticky in every development section.
Is it worth marking all these apps as objectionable to draw Google's attention to this issue?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Today, 2 of those links has been removed already !
Maybe somebody sent emails to every publishers...
I hope google will understand this and ban this thief.
I have posted about it on reddit
http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/ew4e8/android_market_is_still_the_wild_west/?sort=hot
Someone who works for google replied and said they're looking into it.
@jgittins
Could you please link this post to you post ? Or give to the "google man" the list of the apps we found here ?
This kind of guy should be banned from google forever (if it's possible )
One thing I don't understand :
Google should give to every developer a private key that we could use to compile the apk.
Something we should not be able to remove.
So the developer who generates the apk could be sure it would be uploadable only into his account.
It sounds simple but...

I've linked to this thread from the reddit story.
Also, you have written that Zuma's Revenge is by Blue_sprit. But the real zuma's revenge is a famous game from popcap, I think blue_spirit is actually another scammer.

It's not possible to add something, that is impossible to remove. Cryptography makes possible to check that something was created by someone, but not that it wasn't.
Dang that sucks that people are ripping dev's off. I have high respect for Dev's. Not being one, I don't know all the ins and outs of developing apps but I'm sure it's a very deeply involved process that nobody should rip off. Jeez. I hope these idiots are banned from the market. Is there a formal process that someone can start to get these apps credited to their rightful owners?
Thank you for informing the community of this!
Thanks a lot! As a developer, this information I will be very useful.
This is absolute putrid behavior. This is one of the downsides to having an open-source OS and Google being so hands-off. There better be some justice in this matter......
PS - moderators/admins should require this to be a stickie in EVERY forum
I post it to tweeter.
This is disgusting.. I will make comments on all his posted apps in the market and warn people how this guy rips them off..

if more of us from xda will post comments how douche this guy is, then maybe we could prevent others from patronizing his posted apps.. being a frustrated programmer also, I know how hard it is to code.. and I am very grateful to devs who gives us free apps over here at xda..
These davincidevelopers retards are also releasing retail gameloft games on the market, we need to stop these fuken retards, get them banned from the market.
What a penga ! We want to protect our community from the pirates, Thank you for the heads up,

I'll try and rate your game "Run Alien", and probably some other here too.

Hi Michal,
In general the runner is OK, tested for 2 min and rated your game 5 star with a small comment.
The game developed with taste and I really liked it. Good first start.
Notes
- Sounds are great, but some background music should be added.
- Ingame control tutorial is OK, but it needs to be a bit longer for users to get fully adopted to the gameplay and controls.
- Game is getting difficult from the start, needs to be more easy to encourage players (retention)
- Banner ads place is not chosen correctly - it covers main menu (Samsung GT-S7500 test)
that's it for now ....
Questions.
What is your eCPM?
How did you generated about 180 reviews for 1000-5000 downloads?
How long this game was developed?
How many people worked on the project?
Who have chosen sounds?
IMPORTANT
Let's not to forget that we should review each others apps as well . Our apps are as follows:
God Toys (priority!)
My Movie Quiz
Talking Putin: Machete
GraviTire 3D
GraviTire 3D HD
Talking Obama:Terrorist Hunter
Слова и Фотки
Words and Pics
Palabras y Fotos
Hope the list is not that long
Looking forward to your response.
p.s Once met a Polish couple in our country, nice people ...
