[REF][SOLUTION] misuse & abuse of our work.

I have found that a lot of Sites on the internet scan our xda & post only the OP as their own.
I did a simple google search with these words, 'ddjp6 speedmod version' & here is the result - http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=ddjp6+speedmod+version
A example here is - http://www.galaxyroot.com/tag/csc/ . If the links are downloaded by people who are not really aware of many discussions that are going on here, they face serious problems with their phones.
I request all the custom ROM developers to at least put a direct HTML link to your OWN post in the OP.
I have put a direct HTML link of my own post in my OP. At least people browsing sites like galaxy root will have a link back to my ROM.
Hope I am helping.

Hmmm, no lol. If people are stupid enough to install a piece of software onto a phone, or pc for that matter without knowing what theyre doing then it their own fault if something goes wrong.
Like my 10yr old says always make sure you read up on what your about to install, or even uninstall before doing so.
Perhaps a link to common sense would be best? Or better still close this thread that is clogging up the 'development section'

Sometimes intelligent people search Google.
Anyway this was just an observation, A lot of developers including Darkyy have been put a lot of problems because of their ROMs being downloaded from other sites.
PS : Darkyy is a famous guy, I am not. I really don't know how many phones I have neutered by posting my ROM.

The example you give does have references to xda and the original authors
Even your own name is mentioned

BUT, a person browsing that would'nt even think of visiting my thread because all the links are already there. If he had a link to my Thread there he would check it out.
Links are there.
That was just ONE site I mentioned, what about others? & different languages? All I am suggesting is just a simple link back to your own ROMs or threads in your first post.

And how is this post eligible for Dev section?

Just wanted to say thanks

So, I've been a bit of a lurker but, I felt that I should post this. I've had a Droid 2 since August & decided to finally root it. Due to the many amazing guides out there, this process was easy & painless. I just wanted to say thanks to those people:
darkonion's One Click Root
brutalDROID's HOW TO ROOT Droid 2 - IN DEPTH TUTORIAL
pc747's Droid 2 hacking/rom install class
So, thank you again for making this process incredibly easy

You should have put this in the general section, not development. It's good to thank but do it in the correct place. Either the specific forums (thanks button) or in general.

I'm an idiot. I thought I posted this in the General Discussion section That's what I get for having too many tabs open. Is there any way that a mod could move this to the correct section?

Moved to general

Build NoMoarPowah for Galaxy 3

Can someone build NoMoarPowah like app for Galaxy 3?
NoMoarPowah is an app that automatically boots the (battery drained) phone in to android when connected to a charger. It is an amazing app but it is limited to a handful of Samsung devices only. I wish to expand the scope of this app. So, is there anyone who knows how to port this thing on Galaxy 3?
Post your questions/ concerns below.
SOLVED: Found this feature in SPICE MI 270

every android phone including our galaxy 3, boots up into android when it was switched off automatically due to low power and then connected to the charger !
why would we need an app ?
EDIT: And this is just a request so it should have been posted in the general or q&a section.
im sorry to say but even if you ported this app, it belongs to the apps section only. by no means it belongs to the dev section
This is only an advice, dont take it serious

Hey Ajay thanks for your reply. Though my thread is a request, the objective is to look for an answer to this issue. I appreciate your comments. Looking forward for more healthy discussions. Thanks!
BTW, I own Galaxy 3 for the past 1.5 yrs and i have not come across this phenomenon that you have mentioned in your post. I will surely try this and post back my experience.
Cheers!

ill be glad to hear

this sounds interesting, but as ajay said, this section is for active android development, and you will most likely get more answers if posted in the right place (themes and apps). Thanks for posting though. I would suggest you ask the mod to move this thread for you. I hope someone can help you with this, good luck!

Sorry!
EDIT2: But i don't understand the use of the app. It replaces the "boring charge animation". Never required for me.

True

There is no source for this app... it is quite difficult to hack it and make compatible...
I know there are some tools to decompile apk into java source code but i'm a bit afraid to break some copyright rules... I do not want to do it, anyway this app would be useful man!

WOW ! i saw the screenshots !!
im amazed that this app really uses the touchscreen in powered off mode !!
quite amazed and now, into the modding/porting level..

I have extracted some files from the apk. I can share them if you want.
Note: Please use these files strictly for reference only.

You can ask Chainfire(the developer of this app). He will surely give the source code

I don't think there is anything bad in extracting files and share them until they do not came from paid apps.

Not going to happen, as it's a paid app.
The app should work, it's the images that need to be resized to fit our screen.
Anyone wanna give it a try, resize the images in assets folder in the apk, or in /system/nomoarpowah (after you've installed the app and install it's files), and then reboot.
Even it it doesn't work (unlikely), it won't do any harm

I have tried contacting him several times but he does not respond to mails et all. He does not even responds to posts in his own threads. I do not think he is going to be of any help.

You should thread carefully even if it isn't a paid app. Just because an app (or any piece of software) is free that doesn't automatically mean you (legally) have the right to decompile and use it's source (code).

It seems to me that you didn't even give him a full day to respond, that's definitely not enough time. I understand that you are probably excited and anxious, but you still have to give him time.
I don't think work on this should be started before hearing from chainfire, I'd also suggest that a dev (preferably recognized) that would work on this be the one to contact him and find some kind of comprise (this is an ad or pro app so a compromise is probably necessary if chainfire himself won't be working on the app). Perhaps that "our" dev can release an ad free version solely on xda (that will only work with our phone) and that chain fire can release a version with ads on the market. That's just a suggestion, who knows what chainfire will say.
Anyways I know I'm interested in how he got it to work and would love to be able to view the code someday (when I have enough android knowledge to understand the code)

I do not mean to hurt or misjudge anyone but the truth is chainfire is not even responding to his consumers. If you go to his threads, you will see people waiting to get support from him but unfortunately he aint responding. In such a scenario, it is difficult to contact him.
What you suggest is the right way to approach this issue. But someone will need to take extra efforts to reach him.

I don't think that decomiling an app is something illegal both if the ap is free or aid. It becames illegal if you edit, recompile and distribute it.
Otherwise any tool like apk tools, dex2jar etc would be illegal.
Anyway i gave a look at the code and i found it a little difficult to understand. Well not difficult, i mean, a dev shoul spen a big tima to understand ot and make approriate changes... i do not have all of this time, but i can help if someone starts to work on this.

Is there a way to consolidate all the problem threads?

It seems like half of every page in General and Q & A is nothing but problems and fixes. I've been on XDA for quite a few years but I've never had such a hard time finding the right content. I understand people are having problems but it seems it's the same stuff getting posted over and over. Can't there be just an issues section or something?

Yes there is a way. Make a new thread "Nexus 7 Problems/Solutions Consolidation Thread" and link to the individual threads. Do it well and you might get a sticky
