Will XDA DevDB be a developer file hosting service ?

I frequently change ROMs...the problem is here at my university is that most of the file sharing sites like

dev-host,mediafire,uploaded.to,deposit files etc are blocked,

and most importantly the firewall here suspends your WiFi connection for a month if you use a proxy..:crying:..as many devs uploaded their roms to these sites i am unable to download them..:crying:

Will xda DevDB would allow developers to host their works on its own servers ?...so that we could download without any problems..

Will it offer developer file hosting services..?

Hiho,

is there a way to have a poll in a devDB project or can we do that in the Q&A thread? I don't wnat to open a new Thread just for a temporary poll. It would be nice to hvae the awesome devDB not blocking this useful features of xda, that'll only dicourage users from using it...

I want to give some feedback and report one of the bug (which I think it is)

Feedback:

It's quite useful feature and organizes the threads specially of the roms in an unique way categorizing all the information the user needs before installing that rom.

Bug:

When mods close the thread, the edit project option is still there and so its possible to re enter the download link on OP. The edit project should automatically go ones threads are closed.

[About XDA developers] gimmeitorilltell:
I'm not sure if this is the correct location for this but when I try to download THIS Rom hosted by XDA DevDB, it either doesn't download or is very very slow. I know it is a good sized file but 7 to 8 hours to grab a download is too much. I'm running DSL with docsis3 getting around 16 Mbps download and have tried using google chrome and firefox. Also I am running LinuxMint15. TIA

Edit: Could this be be related to any firewall settings or whatever? If so maybe we could get a guide or something. I know everybody is not having this issue but for those that are, is there any help? It's not only the mentioned download that I have issues with, it's just the one I chose as an example.

[About XDA developers] st-tps:
I started a DevDB project today which was placed in " Android Development and Hacking > Android Apps and Games" although I choose to place it in "Samsung Galaxy Gear > Themes and Apps"

And when I look in the bottom of the post it says

"XDA:DevDB Information

VibeWatch, a App for the Samsung Galaxy Gear"

So it seems like the Project is listed under the right section but the thread is placed somewhere else.

Tried to delete it and got the question "Are you sure you wan´t to delete this project?", I answer OK and is moved to http://xdaforums.com/devdb/ and under My Projects the Project is still alive...

Is this some kind of buf or have I missed something?

feedback

Just thought i would post a few bits of feedback

1~The dates shown in last updated page are in US format http://xdaforums.com/devdb/#roms could they be xx february 2014?

2~When clicking on bug reports and feature requests, if none have been posted, the message "No bug reports!" or "No feature requests!" appears. This seems to be a warning not to post such things. It should be "No reported bugs as yet", though the reviews message is correct.

3~in the application form for submitting devdb projects there are 2 options for OSes (android and windows) but only android OS versions and kernels. Should be more inclusive to other OSes eg firefox, wp7 etc.

4~Q&A thread link could be Q&A/T thread link, as it is an xda initiative

Hope this helps
[About XDA developers] Robbie P:
New feature request

Could there be a new tab for 'issues'? It would be closed to users input and be maintained by the Dev (and hopefully, mainly by the two named contributors) listing (where relevant);

1. the rom/project version number

2. the issue

3. a link to the post where it was reported (or just 'bug report' if relevant)

4. the solution

5. a link to the post where it was solved

This would provide a very useful database of issues and solutions for each rom/project, would allow easy searching for people with same issue, would cut down on the number of posts by people reporting such issues etc.

Note this is not the same as bug reports since the content would be from the Dev and contributors.

As mentioned, i see the upkeep of the contents being done by the contributors more than the Dev, to allow the Dev more time for development.

Edit; since all senior members and above can now start a DevDB project, can the first post of this thread be changed to reflect this?

Hi

well, here's my feedback.. Today i tried 8 times to upload an new rom build into the dvdb and no luck ...

Tried on win7 x64 with Firefox / Chrome and Opera Browsers

and on Ubuntu 12 x64 Firefox Browser

Any Hints?

EDIT: Found the problem, it seems it can't upload a file with parentheses.

My original ROM name was :

LeWa_[COLOR=Red][B]([/B][/COLOR]Unofficial[COLOR=Red][B])[/B][/COLOR]_Wiko_DarkMoon_v1.0.zip

After i changed to :

LeWa_Unofficial_Wiko_DarkMoon_v1.0.zip

Only Senior Moderators and higher can currently remove DevDB projects - this restriction is for the same reason why normal users and titled RD,RC,RT etc can't delete their own threads, too much potential for abuse.

[About XDA developers] bitpushr:
Hey all,

You can now select "Xposed" as a device and it will place the project in the Xposed modules forum. I'm working to add a project type called "Xposed Module" that will place the project in the Xposed module forum but also allow you to select "Any device" or a specific device.

I see, for now you can use the "Add project" link at xdaforums.com/devdb/

Nope, not going to happen, project authors can edit the main post but that is the only one that is sharable by all.

I'm not sure a project is a good place for a Poll, actually I haven't tested this but I will look into it. This is something that the forum permissions may restrict. As far as mirrors for downloads, we always figured those would be put into the main post. The downloads tab includes more options that just a link, such as the link to the torrent, seed/leech stats, etc.

heres a good one for you suggested by a friend of mine, what about a Q/A tab?
[About XDA developers] bitpushr:
We have a QA tab, just enter a QA thread in the proper box and the QA tab will show up.

I have another announcement for DevDB, you can now add Xposed modules as a project type. It was a little tricky to do, but I think it makes pretty good sense.

If you select "Xposed Module" as project type, you can also select a device (if it is device specific) or "All devices" if it is not device specific.

All Xposed modules will go into the Xposed module forum (even if it is device specific).

Xposed modules have an additional parameter "package name" which corresponds to the package names on repo.xposed.info.

If you select "All Devices" on a non-xposed module project you'll have to place the project into one of the general android forums.

Hope that makes sense. Let me know if anyone has issues with creating the new project type.

Bug Report: If you have a quotation mark (") in a variable, upon clicking the Edit button the edit field will only have the text up to the first quotation mark.

EDIT: Also somewhat annoying is that when clicking the "Preview" button under the Project Description, it shows variables as "[#VariableName]" rather than the variable itself, but that's just a cosmetic issue and not a functional issue really.

EDIT2: Also of note, I'd appreciate it if the file-size limit on PNG's could be raised a little. It's currently 256KB, and even after OptiPNG/PNGCrush/etc. the best I can get it down to for a 720x1280 home screen screenshot is about 300KB, and that's with a pretty basic background. JPEG just ruins the quality of it, and if I downsize the resolution it's going to be kinda weird that a screenshot isn't in the device's native resolution. Again, I'm just being nitpicky here, I'm sure I'll come up with something to get it under 256KB.

I'd also like to note that the maximum size for a GIF is 8MB, seems like quite the swing from PNG to GIF!
