Hehe, I'm maxing out like 100-200 KB/s from Rapidshare and nearly 12 MB/s using torrents...

I'm sorry but I can't see the problem, it is definetly not more work to create a .torrent file (just use a public tracker). The .torrent file is so small that it won't be a problem to host it somewhere, maybe even directly on the forum.

Cause that would mean a lot of people just downloading from the developer. With a .torrent you could spread out the files in a much better way and distribute the bandwidth.

But like I said, these are just mine $(2*10^-2)... ;)

Wouldn't matter, first upload the torrent to a (few) seedbox(es) (community will happily provide these I suppose). Once its done, turbo speed for everyone.

[Desire General] ginux_:
Thanks, both these things are what I was thinking about :)

I have a computer in a wardrobe working only as file/torrent server so there is at least one seed box for the community.

I am a new member so I had to delete the link from your post, dough.
[Desire General] Smirge:
Well - back up a few months i tried to do exactly that. I seeded the Villain files until 4-5 had it, and because every one else's connection was better than mine ppl didnt download from me anymore - and speed would pick up on the file across P2P

I used uTorrent and created the torrent from within that program and uploaded the torrent to my own website - worked a charm once i had all the settings right...

i think it's a good idea - if not then as a mirror for the RS and Mediafire websites...

Once a couple of 100 mbit upload has gotten hold of the file it will be fast!!!

Wuala can be a good alternative to rapidshare or megaupload, it has 2GB for free, or you can share your HD free space for add free space to your account on Wuala. Also can be possible do a groups for sharing, on HTCMania we have created one for files for HTC Desire and another for APKs

Buying a rapid share account is the worst advise I have ever heard.

Its called file sharing. Not file buying. Its meant to be free, I think you missed the point.
[Desire General] ginux_:
Wait a minute.. Torrrent is old school, but buying a Rapidshare account is soo 2010? :rolleyes:

QFT, are you all on modems here ? :P

Waiting nearly 30 minutes for a 250ish MB file to download sucks. That's the kind of time I am used to wait for a 1080p bluray using torrents...
[Desire General] :
I would gladly use the torrent if the possibility where there :)

Even though I'm on a modem like connection xD

Also seed until a ratio of 2+.. It's not that bad :p

I know for you free users how annoying rapidshare is :p

I do vote for a torrent as well as http so people can choose.. And if they don't want to seed they should not touch the torrent :) .. Or if it's too old school for them -.-
[Desire General] balerio:
I don't think torrents are a good idea. Yes they are fast indeed, given that people would seed, but if they are used I foresee a lot of fakes being uploaded. Also with the torrents there would not be any kind of way of knowing how many people downloaded your rom.

The way I see it I take the 40/50/60 second wait as a virtual thank you. the cook spent a lot more time creating the ROM, We need to only wait 1minute and they get credit for it. As far as I know rapidshare (or similar) give you speed in exchange for downloads right?

Also one little trick: Jdownloader. It's a java program (so available for win, linux, mac) that hepls us download, and helps the cook as if we downloaded manually.
[Desire General] :
As I see it the dev doesn't do it for the rs points but because he wants to share?

Am I getting something wrong here?
[Desire General] Rkiver:
Torrenting works fine if you've a decent connection (40meg fibre here for example).

However why would you want to torrent a file that is in most cases under 100meg? Seriously just download it normally.
[Desire General] ginux_:
Because Rapidshare sucks in terms of speeds, to Sweden at least. It takes nearly 30 minutes to get the rom from there. But I didn't know that you got points when anyone downloaded the file from your RS account.

I think you don't get my point, it is not possible to do fake torrents since they will not be uploaded to any public site. All the developer need to do is link the torrent file and it will be 100% real since it is the developer that created it. A torrent file doesn't need to be indexed anywhere, it can be used kind of private instead.

Hi guys

Sorry for waking an old thread, but it's right on topic.

I agree 100% with TS, that's why I created this site named Android-roms.info

Roms, Recoveries etc. can be uploaded, and then downloaded either direct or via Torrent.

Please help me to convince Rom-creators to upload their roms here!

You don't have to be a Rom-creator to upload roms, just register to the site and start upload.

Please visit my site and give me feedback.

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SHoyt113:
I have a few questions about MT accessories.

1. Has anyone tried the FM music kit If you have does it have decent enough sound (something for maybe if your just sitting at the beach and don't need it insanely loud but dont want to use headphones) or is it distorted and "messy" sounding

2. Have you tried the power play fm transmitter and if so does it work well or is there a lot of scratchiness no matter what station you have it on and does the charging function of it work

3. And lastly I'm looking for opinions on the spare batteries (not chargers) you can get off ebay, are they actually the same thing or is it somehow going to do damage to my phone. I really need to have a spare but I'm not going to pay the $50 t-mo asks for one
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benmarvin:
Haven't tried any FM accessories. But as far as batteries go, make sure to get an OEM one made by HTC, there's a couple on ebay for under 20 bucks. Those knockoffs for 8 bucks can ruin your phone or leak and such. There's another thread on here somewhere about using a battery from the HD2 or the Droid Eris. Personally I'm waiting for an extended battery either from HTC or someone reputable like Seidio. But not one that makes the phone any fatter.

[HD2 General] TheUkieVillain:
Hey all

I got my HD2 a month or two ago, and I really like it. Especially the HTC Sense interface. A thing of beauty, truly. Especially once you get the tweaks done to improve battery life a bit and add on some extra features.

BUT, I'm hugely disappointed in the lack of decent apps via Windows Marketplace, and trying to find an app that works properly on the HD2 by searching online seems to be marginal, at best. (I've tried several that seem to simply...not function.)

So, I'm wondering if it's possible to get Android on this hardware. I'm a total noob when it comes to phones--never flashed a ROM before--though I've built my own desktop computer, so I'm not a technical idiot. Basically, I'd feel comfortable doing it IF someone tells me that a) it's possible, and b) it's worth it.

Is it possible to put Android on my HD2? And is it worth it?

Things I consider 'necessary' to having this be 'worth it':

--Can make calls, text, MSMs, etc

--Internet access with 3G working well

--GPS works well (I'd LOVE to get a decent geo-caching app)

--Music player (Big fan of Slacker Radio)

--Camera/Video player that works well

Any thoughts? Is it worth it to try to go Android?
[HD2 General] zelendel:
While they have made a great leap towards getting Android on the HD 2 it is not yet available. Do a quick search for "Android on HD 2" and you will find the thread where they are talking about it.

Thanks for the heads up. Answers my question. Perhaps I'll just have to be content with WinMo for a while and keep making tweaks.
[HD2 General] M3XICAN5:
Watch out for the fake vid on youtube if your going to be google searching!
[HD2 General] Signo371:
While there has been a huge leap forward in getting a bootable Linux kernel on the HD2, the time window for a "fully functioning with all the drivers" Android is still a ways out. If you want Android, go to the Nexus One (for the best GSM Android phone out there). If you're willing to switch networks to a non sim card, CDMA network, check out the Incredible on Verizon or the EVO on Sprint.

Hope this helps.

Also, try the search feature. XDA-Developers has an incredible website and it'd be a shame to let all of its fun forum search tools go to waste. I can think of tons of threads where people have asked this question. It's out there, just find it.

I have a google account ***@gmail.com and this is linked to my google apps e mail ***@customdomain.com.

I don't use the google account gmail address at all, only the google apps account. Presumably, my phone (when I get it) will ask me for my google account details so which should I use?

I see from another thread that paying for apps necessitates a google account login that is linked to google checkout rather than a google apps login. I don't want to get things too complicated but at he same time I want all of my contacts to be synched with my google apps account rather than my google account.

Does this make sense and can anyone suggest what I should do?

I definitely don't want the main e mail address and contacts list to be my @gmail.com address. Thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Don't sweat it! It isn't a problem.

Set up your phone with your Google Apps for Domains account.

Everything will work just fine, up to the point when you want to purchase some apps from the market. It will then just ask you for another account to link to Google Checkout, purely for purchasing purposes only - all your purchased apps will still be linked to your Google Apps for Domains account.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silenced3:
hi!

i have had my hd2 for about 8 days now and have already tried out a few roms - 2.13.531.1, energy cookie 23569 june 26 and lastly cleanex dse v12. now my problem is that this is my first (really) smartphone and i upto last month i didnt even know xda existed, let alone what a flash junkie is.

over the weeks i have trolled the forums and have learned a lot about rom and radio flashing. i departed from the stock rom because i found it generally very cluttered. now i am experimenting with the various roms out here.

my problem is that after every flash, i am staring at a blank phone and i have to go around doing all the settings all over again. now i read up stuff on UC (because it was in the energy rom) but i simply cant figure out how to backup ALL my customization and data and then restore it back. im talking about:

1)contacts/messages/calendar entries etc.

2)reg edits

3)cht

4)cabs

5)other things i cant recall

i made a bunch of exports from the energy rom when i decided to test the cleanex rom. i guess i can use pimbackup. i can import cht settings. this cleanex rom has UC built in but i have little idea how to use it (something to do with SdConfig.txt?). and i am infinitely frustrated when a rom flash takes 10 mins but getting the phone back up takes a couple of hours. and at the end of it, i almost always forget something. :confused::confused::confused:

long story short:

1)im looking for fellow junkies to help me do a complete backup and restore (data, settings, et al). a sort of an algorithm/guide/checklist that covers all bases would really help rid the cloud around my head. some help with automation would also help.

2)is it really advisable to switch between various rom kitchens. because each one of them has different ways of restoring your backed up settings. i am not really going to flash every second day. i just want to find a good rom and stick with it (and possibly use its updates)

many many thanks! in the meanwhile ill try to get UC working for me...

edit:

btw i have a tmous hd2 with 2.08.hspl, cleanex dse v12 and 2.12.50.02_2 radio

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 95SKY:
If you use a progam e.g SPB Backup,Sprite to do a full back up of your device prior to flashing or hard reset, you can do a full restore, so your device will return exactly to how it was prior to flashing etc, even ringtones that was set, text messages, wall papers, emails everything! mine is scheduled to back up every few days, i use spb and it works flawlessly everytime!

In most of the Energy roms in the Tools section there is a settings Export, that puts most of that stuff in the XDA_UC folder for you ....

The UC that is in the Energy ROMs is a customized version, not sure what hoops you have to jump through to get the exports to work in regular UC ...

Otherwise as said SPB Backup is your best bet, works great in "Rom Upgrade" mode ...

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicedude_abad:
I use Energy ROM and XDA_UC with tht settings exporter does export most things. However, in your case where you wish to import every reg setting you will be better off some dedicated backup program. SPB backup is good. Have used it previously and it worked good. However, with XDA_UC, settings exporter and PIM backup I hardly need it.

I had audio loss with every 2.1 rom, even with the audio fixes. No audio loss since I flashed the 2.1RUU and rooted. If I flash a 2.1 rom (and nandroid backup before), is there any chance the same roms I had audio loss with before will give me audio loss again? I guess my question is, did the RUU change something that the roms don't such that I won't have to worry about audio loss?

My biggest fear would be flashing a rom, losing audio, reverting to my nandroid backup, and still having audio loss again.
