We have made a FB group to where people can get together and talk about their experience with their Roms.. Just one big chat constantly going on talking about various Roms. It is for any Questions, the answers are waiting for you..
If you join, Welcome to our Group

Hey guys, I'm not sure who all uses IRC still, but I use it a ton. I am currently talking with the Freenode staff about gaining control over the ##windowsphone-dev channel, so I could get it set up. I'll update here once I finish my chat with them.
For all interested, it will be ##windowsphone-dev on the Freenode (http://webchat.freenode.net) IRC network. I am also looking into registering ##windowsphone as well, for non-devs. I cannot get the # namespace as it is registered to Microsoft (though never used)
EDIT: Ok guys, talked to Freenode. They said they're going to wait two weeks before they let me register the channel. Until then, they said we can use them freely. So join, talk, collaborate
The channels are located on the Freenode IRC network, and again the channels are ##windowsphone and ##windowsphone-dev
Once I register the channels, I will be looking for some people to help me run the channels. The best way to get that position is to join, talk, and be helpful. Once I get the channel registered, I will begin the process of finding out who will help me maintain the channel.
If you have any questions, please feel free to PM me or hit me up on Google+, as well as join our community on G+!
~Thanks!~
Hi
I'm developing an application and wondering about putting it on the Google Play store, more out of interest to see if I can make a little bit of cash, I'm not expecting riches, but some cash flow would help serve to encourage me to do more Android development.
On going through the registration I need to set up a Google Merchant account, no problems with that, however I need to provide a public business address and website address, and like I suspect is the case with the vast majority of app developers with it being more a hobby from a back bedroom, I don't have a business address or business website, so it will default to my home address. The terms also suggest that if I don't supply a URL my account might be suspended.
I'm also a little nervous about about my home address in case it is made public, and wondering if it is worth going to trouble of getting a domain name for the URL.
What have other people done? I notice some paid apps have a broken website URL, and I can't recall making a purchase on the Play store where I have seen the developers or business address displayed to me.
Any info gratefully received.
Regards
Phil

A hosted website with a custom domain costs nothing nowdays. You'll need it anyway for marketing, etc.

Bump. I'm in a similar situation. Wondering what you did about the address? I don't want to give people my home address just because they buy my app.
For the domain I just created a weebly website for free. Super easy and it doesn't have to be high quality. How many people actuality visit your website?
I have my home address. When I start my company that's where I will be based from anyway.

I am in the same situation, a private person releasing an paid app. The deal with the public adress just got to me.
I read somewhere about a guy who entered fake information as the "public" adress, this isn't appealing to me though.
If i buy an apple at the local supermarket it's not like the name and homeadress of the apple grocist is on the store recipe.
Is there any way around this since I'm not really that keen on showing my home adress public..
Or is it "just" the other way around? That I can see the users information but the user cannot actually see the developers information..?
Just give them something.
Just give them any address. It's no big deal. give them the address of a highway rest area. As for the website, you'll make more money than it costs you per year to own a domain just by having a domain. Just use a blogger website etc.. and then hook it up with a domain. Just having the website to support your game/app whatever is very important. :fingers-crossed:
I would like to keep a contact list for a group of people where we would all need each others numbers: work collaborators, softball team members, boy scout troop members, church members, etc. I would like to have one person create a master list for a specific group, and allow everyone to sync their devices so that it can be seen in their contact list.
This is easy enough to do. Just have each person sync their phone to the same Gmail account, and only sync the contacts. However, with large groups of people, it becomes more problematic to allow each person the ability to change entries. Does anyone know a way to get a share a contact list with multiple devices that get read only access to the list.
I would like this to be able to be done across Android, IPhone, WinMobile, Blackberry. (Or as many as possible.)
I want to start a group chat for our device . As it is we are an old device but I think it will be information on tap . Let me know what u guys think so we can start gathering the info ..and get the ball rolling
@jraz305 Mod edit: THREAD CLOSED
Telegram and Whatsapp Channels - Going Forward
You may be asking, "Why was my Telegram or Whatsapp thread closed?"
Well, it's just becoming too much.
Going forward, we will only allow one Telegram chat link on a development thread by the ROM's developer and only if thorough support is still provided in the ROM thread on XDA.
All discussion channels, photography channels, whatnot channels will be strongly discouraged and removed with immediate effect. Please reference the forum rules: Quote:
Self-promotion is forbidden, this includes blogs, social media and video channels etc. Random links will be removed.
Also, we now have an official XDA Discord Server. We would encourage you to try it out.
