Hi all.
I am totally new to coding; very slow. Not sure if I should stick with it as I have great ideas but very limited skills
Is there anyone out here who builds apps using PhotoGap Build??? If so how limited is it in terms of uploading creative apps. From my understanding the amount needs to be small.
I would like to achieve in creating at least one app myself. Hoping to put one out FREE, but include adverts in there. How easy is that??
HELP PLEASE.

MOD EDIT: JUST TO CLARIFY. WHILE THIS IS A GREAT IDEA AND WORTHY OF BEING TEMPORARILY STUCK, THIS ISN'T AN OFFICIALLY SANCTIONED XDA SITE AND SHOULD BE USED AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Thats right!
Im offering free hosting to anyone who is creating ROMS, themes, etc
All you have to do is send me an message telling me your interest and i will set up a sub domain and ftp access
my server has unlimited space and bandwidth
Now that is a really generous offer.
Nice one
you are the best !!
i'm in the process of making a new ROM, and will contact you soon
thanks a lot..
What a nice chap
Is that server located in the USA? I'm guessing by your location...
I have a server in the UK that can also be used if desired. It's only 4GB in storage, but I doubt custom ROM's would take up that much space.
Not meaning to take over your thread however, sorry!
The server is in Toronto, the speed may not be the best for all my european friends here but i doubt it's going to be horrible.
The fact i got unlimited space and bw will give them the opportunity to even make a webpage if they want, forums for bugs and stuff.. the're own little portal if they want.
Heh nice! A couple of counter-strike:source servers whilst you at it? Joking.... or am i? no seriously just kidding.
thats hilarious
people still play that game? meh im a console guy anyways!
bump for an awsome offer
Remember, you can use this to host your own domain (if you have one) create your own website, SQL, SSL, everything you need!
Take advantage of this!
Wow thats amazing offer dude
(dont make roms, but just thought deffonatly worth a thankyou not just from the makers, but from the people who will be downloading from it too!)
Gotten a few more, keep them coming!
haha, thanks again btw, been uploading shiz to it already. I am QUITE tempted to host a proxy....with http uploading...
i might, take a look at the site in my sig.. its for themes, and il make new themes once 2.1 sense is released
but yea i could use a host that lets me use my own domain!

just let me know with a pm
bumping for all these new ROMs out there that might need a home
This is awesome work! I am sure ROM builders and Theme designers would love this offer. I can't wait to see VillainROM taking advantage of your offer.
kriEv,
Sent a PM regarding this offer. A very good one, and I'm sure more ROMs will be glad to take you up, especially if it means no more waiting on hosting sites and faffing around...
Cheers,
pulser
EDIT, and BTW, for the poster above me, I will be likely looking to host some mods for villainROM such as (hopefully) JIT for a stock build etc. and maybe some themes requested by users. The end idea to make a 'mini-kitchen' to store the mini update.zips, then folks can come along and help themselves to some ingredients for their ROM.
At some point, if anyone with scripting experience wanted to come onboard, we could look at making a kitchen, although I guess that would put significant load on the server, which would not really be fair on kriEv... So maybe best to just stick to a DIY kitchen unless anyone has any ideas for the 'drive-through'
Temporarily stuck to get the word out. Thanks for being so generous kriEv!
Vexxhost by any chance?
Hi all, i am also providimg free image hosting for your screenshot for maximum 3 year You may use it at http://www.apadmedia.com/photosharing
Why free? I just want the extra space to be fully utilize.
Thanks
楼主牛x啊，好人一个！
I wanted to host a online kitchen(s) for the community. After some diligent research, I cannot find any scripts or server side software, etc. for this purpose.
I have written code for android in the past, and am familiar with git and java, as well as the Android SDK, so I am not new to this. In addition I have no concerns about hosting, or other needs, as I have way more facilities than I need to do so.... (In my personal Lab/Datacenter, among other very cool and overpowered toys, I have a 42U rack full of gear, a pair of HP BladeCenters with 16 Blades each, and plenty of bandwidth all to myself.) The environment is mostly ESX 4 and scalable which makes projects like this both fun and easy.
My hope was that someone here can point me in the direction of how or where to obtain the base scripts/software/files necessary to put together an online kitchen. I am happy to contribute my time assisting in testing and developing should it be necessary.
If I am successful in doing so, and I find it does not tax my resources after some testing, I would have no issues hosting for free for other Devs as well, if they are interested.
Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.
(Forgive me in advance if this is information that is already available, I did search both XDA and Google first, before I posted this question.)
Bump!
Anyone have any answers?

It really shouldn't be too hard to take the bash scripts used in some of the existing kitchens and create a web based front end to call them using php on a linux server. I have done similar things in the past. which distro is your server running? I would be willing to help you put something together if your willing to host it for everybody.
This is a pretty interesting idea. We would have to do some planning and figure out exactly what features should be in an online kitchen vs a standalone. Do we want to store a set of base roms to modify, or do users of the kitchen always upload the rom they are modifying, do we simply force a download of the modified rom, save it on the site, seed a torrent, etc?
I'll try to cook up a very simple example, and then we could always build on it.

im new to the android community and im looking to learn how to perform certain tasks such a development. i am keen on picking things up fast, diving in and just learning from trial and error. im hoping some of you guys can shed some light on what are some things i should start out with. ive come a long way in picking things up because before the thunderbolt came out i was unaware of how to root, abd, roms and kernels. since ive owned it, i have rooted manually and put my tb through many flashes. id like to work up and just get a good sense of how to tweak app and mod certain features to make them more useful to me. so if you have any tips, tricks or just knowledge to drop, id love to know where i should begin so i can one day be a contributor to this site and its users. thanks
I'm a C/C++/Java programmer and I'm currently working on some applications myself, and I have found that the general discussion under Android development on XDA has been very helpful. Lots of threads there with nuggets of info.
im going to school for programming and computer science. i havent really been able to go into to much depth with it so this is my attempt to go above and beyond so i will have a little something to bring to the table when i go to class. i want to be able to know to how to do something while understanding how im doing it and what makes it do it. im new to all of this and hope within the next month i can bring something for all of you guys to critique so i can go back to the drawing board and do something better.
Can anyone help with creating custom skins for apps/widgets it is something i have always wanted to get into
check out APK manager, it lets you get into apk's and make some edits and changes to XML files and layouts, etc. but not all of the source code can be extracted from apk's once compiled, just the way it is. but still allows for mods nonetheless!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695701
hi crew,
I couldn't seem to find the answer or a logical breakdown on this topic and so I wanted hear from the folks here at xda. I'm relatively new and just learned about this website last year while I was searching for things to do with my HD2. I used to flash all kinds of stuffs on my phone and really enjoy it. However, I moved on to the Sensation, touchpad, kindle fire, and Dell 7.
except for the touchpad (cm7), I'm keeping everything else stock and unrooted. This year alone there were several incidents with security on android platform .. Skype, malicious apps on market and forums, and I believe there was also ISSues with custom roms for folks in China. I guess my question is .. How easy is it to include a malicious coding into a custom Rom? If a developer/chef can modify just about every aspect of this platform then I'm guessing it won't break much sweat for them to include these spying coding into a custom Rom?
don't get me wrong because I truly believe that 99.999% of developers on this forum is dedicated and passionate about giving us the ultimate user experience. But if you look at the math, it only takes 1 out of every 100,000 and that's enough to create fear in many of us. Is there a way for users (common users) like myself to determine if there is something else coded in a custom Rom? Would it help at all to protect our privacy with an AV?
of course, one answer to my question is to avoid custom Rom! But yet, with the recent news about carrier iq even with stock you are still being monitored. Since I'm not a developer and have very limited knowledge about this area, I just wanted ask the questions here to hear inputs, suggestions, and opinions from more experienced users (and perhaps developers if any). Thanks!
.
Thread moved to Q&A due to it being a question. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
Failure to comply with forum rules will result in an infraction and/or ban depending on severity of rule break.

It depends. You could use an antivirus, but they mainly just scan your apps, media, and settings; so if the malicious 'thing' is directly built into the rom, it will not be detected. If it was an app (or in one), then there is a chance it would be detected.
Thanks .. that was indeed my thoughts but since I don't know much about coding or "cooking" and so figured I'd would ask. XDA is a great community but it is a scary thought having to think that our privacy with custom roms is entirely relying on the "honor code" of developers. I have not read about anything isolated incidents with infected ROMs, and much less would something like that happen here at XDA. I hope I am correct with the assumption that ROMs being released here are somehow being cross-checked by someone .. but I guess that would be a great amount of effort as too many ROMs are being released everyday on this site.
Again, there are many reputable developers in this community but just thought that I'd ask since it would only take one to ruin the effort of a million ... if anyone got thoughts or opinions feel free to comment.
Thanks for replying
I think that's a very valid concern. I am using a custom rom right now so this is also my concern.

Well, I don't think there is anyone / any party responsible for checking the released ROMs given that the amount of work required...So what I do is to avoid dealing anything sensitive with the phone (even I was using Stock ROM). All this kind of stuff I will do it with my desktop where I feel I have more control.
lol .. same here .. on devices with ported ROMs I am quite careful as to what I do with it .. and on stock devices i do keep the number of apps to the minimal. But it's just sad being that way .. or may be i'm just paranoid!
Maybe I'll get lucky again and get feedback as great as the first thread I posted here..
For noobs, prospective owners, and everyone inbetween, maybe we can get some positive input about the different features roms can include, differences in roms, etc?
What is sense? Differences between sense 3 and 3.5? What would a rom without sense be missing?
HTC seems to involve beats audio, or the hacks.. at least I have seen this around, new users might not know what this means.
..and anything else helpful for someone trying to figure these things out!
On a side note/idea
I actually wouldn't mind putting together something like the "bibles" you see stickied in some phones forums. Since I am new to the device, new to htc, sense, etc.. Maybe as I figure it all out I could organize something similar? Seems easier since the phone is new, and the processes are still evolving, rather than with a device that has a year worth of info out there.. especially as the amount of information grows quickly.
..or anyone willing to help me get started by suggesting some of the basics?
