haha dude i guess that's your prerogative not to use the site/app if you don't want to. I'm just following precedent from sites like ex.fm and grooveshark (in fact directly using their apis) and because they are legal, so is my site.

you can argue the moral implications or whatever, this again is your choice, don't use the site and app if you don't want to :)

my site and app are completely free and with no ads at all. I like programming dude, I'm 17 and i really don't have any nearsighted concerns about being paid to do so. I guess if you have any objections to a "loophole" that makes the site legal don't use the site. Please note that I don't own the songs in any way or form- the users who put up music on the internet without copyrights are doing the illegal activity, and as stated in www.hypedmusic.com/legal.php, send an email with copyright proof and we'll take down all of the copyrighted material from the site immediately :)

again, don't want to get in an argument with you- you're probably way older and I always thought its pretty weird arguing with adults.

bottom line: the site is completely legal. if you own copyrights to music, follow the protocol detailed in hypedmusic.com/legal.php and we'll take down the music immediately, following the protocol detailed my DMCA. If you don't like the site/app, don't use it. I'm not making any money at all from the site/app right now- I program for fun. But hey, you gotta do what you gotta do man.

Have a great day!

Charts from Billboard coming really soon!

Oh, you are only 17. That explains it; it is a maturity thing. Hopefully once you start paying some bills you will learn the value of a dollar and that it is wrong to steal from people. Artists should "opt-in" to giving away their music for free, not the other way around. The music you are enabling people to steal is the product of lots of hardwork and practice.

Your understanding of the DMCA is a little skewed just so you know. You may have trouble claiming safe-harbor if you can't show your app/website was intended for a legitimate purpose. Keep in mind the burden of proof is a lot lower in a civil case. You better hope your service doesn't become popular, would hate to see another person sued for millions because of a dumb mistake he made as a little kid.
[Android Apps and Games] lukezli:
hey dude thanks a lot man for the advice!

here's the deal man. other huge sites, such as ex.fm, are completely legal and I am doing the exact same thing as them. Now, you can accuse them of being illegal too, but as the law stands they are currently legal and tested in court. I have legal precedent, so I'm not that worried.

I think, to be honest, if you don't like the app/site, don't use it, and kindly exit. My site is just as legal as other large sites, and I have the same functionality. Let me worry about the legal aspect; its completely legal. You can worry as much as you want about the legitimacy, but there are sites that do the exact same thing; I just use their data that they legally provide to me. It's not stealing, as defined by the law, and like I said, other sites have done it before.

Feel free to ask any further questions. Lemme ask you a counter question: why is youtube legal when my site is not? Both stream music that other people upload, and those people pledge that the stuff they post is 100% legal- I have to take their word for it. If they lie, the content is taken down. In fact, in my case, I have a stronger case than youtube- youtube actually holds copies of the music itself, while I don't.

To be perfectly frank, I don't think you understand the workings of websites- especially hosting and databases- well enough to judge the technical aspect of it. You may feel that it is "morally" wrong- completely your choice- and don't use the app/site if you feel this way! Technically, the site is legal. If you could demonstrate a clear knowledge of the technical aspects of website programming and servers, we could perhaps have this discussion, but I think you lack the expertise to talk to me about it.

One last point: We've talked to a lawyer about this, and he has said that it is definitely legal.

Hey but have a nice day man!
[Android Apps and Games] kingsway8605:
The difference between YouTube and your app is YouTube is intended for a legitimate purpose and a very small fraction of it use is for illegal activities, whereas the only apparent purpose of your app is crawling the web for copyrighted artwork and providing it to users without a license. Many of the larger sites you mentioned are entangled in lawsuits with the record labels, most notably grooveshark.
[Android Apps and Games] lukezli:
Again don't think you know how the web works man. Groove shark has some legal troubles because they host the files I don't. Just like ex.FM, which is definitely legal. More notably, the suit has been dragged on and does not seem terribly promising either. You cant even download music from my site. My site is the equivalent of YouTube music building playlist sites, in fact, I used to use YouTube content on the site. Again, I think you need to learn how the web works from a programming perspective. Good try though. Like I said, lawyer said were good to go.
[Android Apps and Games] damonsmith666:
Well said mate. You've obviously thought long and hard about any legal issues surrounding your app before 'giving' it to the public. When some people see the words 'free' and 'music' in the same sentence then they automatically presume that your the next Napster.

Your obviously a nice guy, you've tried your hardest to explain to people why your app is legal, even when they are insulting you. I think the time has come now when you need to start to ignore those posts, the purpose of this forum is for the development of your app and you need to advise people that if they have any other concerns they can contact you elsewhere.

Thank you AGAIN for this app and all the hard work you have put into it, i look forward to using it for a long time :D
[Android Apps and Games] lukezli:
Thanks a lot for your kind words!!! You guys really motivate me to work harder and improve my app. Billboard charts coming really soon!

Some people can be so stubborn these days. You did a good job with the app, you've done your research and even talked to lawyer I don't understand how some people can't comprehend that...can't wait for billboards :)
[Android Apps and Games] flastnoles11:
You obviously don't know the law... stop trolling this thread... there is nothing illegal about anything this app does... maybe you shouldn't throw legal banter around when you don't know what you're talking about... great job on the app kid, and remember, haters gonna hate... he's probably just mad that he doesn't know how to write code and maintain an app and a website... and only 17, WOW! Somebody could have a promising future if they keep at it... loving your app by the way...

All these fiends asking it is ilegal :silly: it wouldn't be allowed on XDA if it was you mugs.

Great app id gladly pay to see some extra features implemented, where do you get the music from, sometimes when i type in a band say for example Primal Scream it wont list some of their more popular tunage so i have to type the name of the song, some bands i cant find at all like The Farm, also i just spent the last 2 hours doing a playlist and saving tunage but i had to keep pressing the back button to exit otherwise id have to kill the app,.a settings function would be useful and possibly more search options.

Superb app all the same respect to the developer.

---------- Post added at 11:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:22 PM ----------

I may have already mentioned this but would be great to see more search functions for music from the 80's and 90's as most music thesedays is rubbish, yes im an old fogey i just cannot stand the tripe that is around thesedays (the occasional decent tune)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] djiskascribble:
I updated to the new official 4.04 on my 4g touch and really disliked it. I was going to root it so I could try out some of the new 4.1 builds I seen around here but when running odin and trying to install cwm It just kept failing over and over so I tried to flash it back to stock and odin froze during the installation. Now my phone wouldnt even boot on its own into download mode so i bought a usb jig and had it rushed to me. It puts it into download mode just fine but now my pc/odin wont recognize that its plugged in so I cant flash it back to stock. I tried a different pc and I have the same problem.

when I power it on normally it just tells me to boot into recovery mode using kies. It charges normally. I dont have insurance on the phone and I really cant do without it. So does anybody have any ideas that could help save my phone?

I have kies installed so i dont think it is the drivers, and it was connecting a few days ago but it just wont anymore. But if it could then I could reflash and everything would be okay :(

Can someone explain to me the difference between the Android and Ported Development categories? I read the posts at the beginning of each, but they weren't very helpful in distinguishing the two.

I'm interested in flashing a JB ROM, but I see several JB ROMs in Ported, but only one (CM10) in Android. What's the difference between the ROMs in each category?

Thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
Ported development usually implies that the ROM has been hell raised , or that the work done to the ROM was a kang. Android Development is all "original" development.

Sent from my SGH-I777
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
Aokp since it isn't available directly to the i777 (no official support by team kang) it took a lot of work by task and ktoonsez to get it to work (not to mention their custom apps for it) so that's why even though it is android open kang project it isn't just ported development.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
This. Yeah it's in Android Development because of the amount of customization and work it takes to bring it here. Its much much more than a simple hell raise haha. To the OP--You should stop on over to his thread and check it out ;-p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] votinh:
No doubt that Task's AOKP is an awesome firmware, I don't know how much work that Task & Ktoonsez put in, 90% maybe? but I thought it is heavily based on CM and the KANG sources, am I right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
Task has said that it is easy to sync cm sources but it's a ***** to sync aokp sources if your device is not officially supported (which ours isn't) so although they didn't make the changes to the rom itself like team kang does, they put in a lot of work to get it to compile and work properly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dsmboost:
Since we're on the subject, can someone explain what hell raising means? I can't find a decent explanation anywhere.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
It was a term coined in the infuse forum first I believe, it's basically porting from a similar device. There's like 5 files that differentiate between the software for our phones and the software for the i9100.

Im just starting into the world of android modification although i have a background in pc modding, and i was wondering if there were any applications out there that you guys thought were really special. I would like to build a toolbox on my internal SD card of various ROMS, kernels, hotfixes and tools to use on the android and would appreciate any recommendations you guys can offer.

My phone is currently running the EHNDROIX rom with the stock kernel (would like a recommendation for a real nice kernel that is OC'd but doesn't chew a battery like a used dog toy) and I am using TWRP recovery.

Anyway hopefully this is in the right place did check before i post but could still have got it wrong i am human, and thanks for any and all recommendations. :)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alistair George:
Hi I used to import Chinese phones, some of them OK, but all of them significantly lacking in polish in the phone operating system design as in for example, lack of continuous tries on failed SMS (if not sent, it just sits in Outbox), poor logical menu layout, poor/slow T9 and so on. I stopped selling them 2 years ago due to more competitive pricing from known brands.

This post is to enquire the phone O/S itself, which runs with Android. Its also not to enquire about faulty phones, of which they used to have very low QC.

If anyone here has experience with the latest generation of Chinese Android eg 4" screens, with GPS and the bells and whistles can they advise their experience here please.

Thanks kindly,

Alistair
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -DarkKnight-:
Well android should be the same. the only difference i can see for chinese android phones and normal android phones are that chinese android phone might not have play store preinstalled on them

well the latest chinese phones are actually quite good and i want them. HTC(yes they are chinese too :) ) One X, One S, Evo LTE, Rezound. they all are pretty good. Huawei has their ascend P1 and their ascend p1 quad. they are pretty good. zte has a good quadcore too. Meizu/Lenovo makes good phones too. xiaomi has a really awesome phone

Well the point is that chinese phones aren't as bad as they used to be and they are quite good and sometimes even better than more know brands(ie. samsung, LG, sony)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alistair George:
Not quite the answer I wanted. You have generalised, I am asking for someone who actually owns one to comment on it and its o/s, not the Android.

I am interested in the hardware aspect and how the latest implementations of phone operations work.

For example, my old Sony Ericsson had a much better phone o/s than the Chinese phones I sold in several respects; differences as per my OP.

I understand most of them which claim 8Mp cameras are 5Mp or less. The cameras that were on the phones I sold were junk, how do the most recent ones perform? How well does the phone operate eg reception, functionality etc.

Thanks,

Alistair.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Yarok:
I rooted my device (ATT HTC One XL), but now I can't seem to be able to find it in my device manager. When I plugged it in to root it using this method, it appeared just fine. However, now that it's rooted (used root checker to make sure), it isn't appearing on my computer. USB debugging is on, and I've tried multiple USB ports and PC connection types (currently using charge-only). What am I doing wrong? I also can't seem to be able to find USB connection mode options in the notification pull-down. The phone is, however, charging, and the LED light is green.

I am also trying to unlock bootloader using these instructions, but I can't find the "Unlock-Bootloader.bat" file mentioned. I'm assuming they meant the "Spoof-CID.bat" file, which I ran, but it gets stuck at "Restarting ADB."

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, I'm running 4.0.3 and 1.85. Irrelevant, but will upgrading to 4.1 or 4.0.4 conflict with root/bootloader, and how would I achieve this upgrade?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] GroovyGeek:
Do not upgrade to 4.0.4 before unlocking and getting g superCID. You probably need an updated driver just download it from htcdev and retry
