Categories .... I can play around with those still ... Speaking of which, would everyone prefer MORE SPECIFIC categories, or FEWER GENERAL categories... [The general categories would be Tools, Hacks, Games]. I need your input to make this work right!!!! [once the site goes live, it is harder to change around like that]

Also, as for submission requirements, I know that we need some sort of "minimum requirements" section. I need to know what should go in there...I am not that much of an expert on these things. I am trying to make as large as list as I can ....

The idea is getting better and better, and the structure is almost perfect.

This can be the first and best multiplatform marketplace ever.

Also, i think this is a key project to allow WM to live a couple of years more.

Thanks in advance for your time.

"Alright - let me take a look at the thread."
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
That is really awesome! Thank you for that. I had written a news-writer a while ago, but got no reply. I didn't get the chance to send a PM to another one.

In any case, I guess I can use this as an Update post. Lets see... I guess I went back a little bit but went forward a lot. I went forward, because I am working on the User Page and Profile pages. Those are coming along nicely. I moved back, however, because I decided to re-do the Submission page. It was probably the sloppiest code anyone would have ever seen...and it was frustrating me to have to go through it to fix up tiny issues. So I am re-writing that from the bottom up.

I consistently feel badly for not having the release sooner, but in my defense, I still have not had practically ANY developers come to me with their emails or usernames on XDA. Once this is ready to go, I will try to scavenge through for as many developers on this forum as possible and send them all a PM about it ... I don't know if that would be considered Spamming ... so I'll be careful about that. But I can't honestly find every developer out there. I really do need for other people to assist me with all that!

I am going to post a thread, or update an existing thread, in the ANDROID section to let those developers know I am close to ready!...

Until the next update :)

Im a news writer :) Let me know what you need done

EDIT: Please PM me the details you want in the article, I check PM's religiously :P
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
Hey everyone,

I am back with a pretty major update!

So I have been diligently working on the Submission page, which I definitely over-estimated to be 70% done. In any case, the code I had there, once again, I trashed because it was ... well ... less than the standard I have set for myself. I only want to provide the best possible for the community :)

I'll admit, I 'wasted' a good deal of time on trying to make the site more visually appealing. I am using a combination of Scriptaculous for Visual Effects, and jQuery for AJAX. So I am tackling both aspects of the site, and I love it :)

In any case, onto the actual update. I have pretty much finished the Submission page. 2 Things remain:

What should the specifications for FILE UPLOADS be? [I already have image uploads ... but should I limit file uploads to a SINGLE CAB/APK/ZIP file?]

Making the behind-the-scenes code to copy the files and data into a secret place and update a secret list of secretness :-P

After that, I will be able to create my standard for data files, thus allowing me to complete the behind-the-scenes coding of the Product display page and then finish up the User page ... THUS MEANING WE CAN HAVE AN INITIAL RELEASE [I think].

I have decided that for the first release, Profiles will not be necessary ... they are nice and all, but not essential. The User Page will serve ONLY to view your own user-settings, nobody else will see any data. For such reason, we won't have a 'personal data' page to fill in [like best contact email, homepage, etc.]. This is also in part due to the fact that we have not yet ironed out a few legal aspects [*cough* Terms and Conditions *cough*], but we have that in the works as we speak!

Just before the website is ready for an official first release, I will contact as many Devs as I can, to get them to submit their applications. I really don't want this website to be dead on arrival ... and I haven't gotten any more contacts from Devs :( SO I am out to go to them, to ask them to post on the website [although I seriously think that could be considered spamming :confused: ]

Oh well, that is it for this update :)

Until next time!

Any updates?

It's been a month since we've last heard anything about the project. Is there any news on it?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
Hey,

Look ... I hate that I am building this reputation for myself of starting projects that don't reach their prime. I do, with all intent, want to make this MarketPlace ... There have just been a multitude of factors working against it. For starters, I stumbled upon an existing cross-platform marketplace that looked to be pretty popular [i can't remember the name] ... besides that, I haven't gotten any interest from Devs or users on this forum in the past few months really, and the site just won't be worth it without the devs and users, and further March is hell month for me as I run between 2 and 3 musicals while preparing for a concert band competition, so Time isn't really all to available.

Currently, I am working on a website for a non-profit organization, so I am not able to devote much time to this website ... but I have some great ideas for it, like user markets [similar to E-Bay Stores], user update panels, analyzing if a program is intended for your device based on reviews and details ... a whole bunch of things. I would love to get all these things incorporated ... but I don't have the time, and the lack of support from the community has really not helped at all with motivating me to put time into this project.

I absolutely hate how I have a domain already, and I have put in what I believe to be close to 200 hours of work into this site [between actual coding, troubleshooting, and learning]. I want so bad for this to prosper ... it is like a child for me, but I just don't see, at this moment, the scenario where it will catch on, since not many people seem to be interested.

I am coming to accept that I will have to open this up to a team of developers if I want to get this moving along, and while I had a problem with that before, I don't so much anymore. So I think that I will fully analyze what truly has yet to be completed, and I will gather up a team of people [a private party] that will launch this whole thing.

I will post this same message on the Thread ... and I will provide an update on what 'positions' I need on the team soon.

Thank you for showing interest,

CycloneZephyrxz7

is there any further news on this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cajunflavoredbob:
Look one post up from yours.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
I suppose you all deserve a bit of an update.

So, this past month has been my Hell month...it always is. I have literally had little to no time not doing homework, or performances, or trips, or yatta yatta. IN ANY CASE :-P Continuing on...

I have gotten into constructing that team list I mentioned. I divided the work up into basically two areas: Active Work and Progressive Work. Active Work refers to Admins, Mods, and News Writers. Progressive Work refers to Developers, Testers, and Researchers. So, already there are 6 general positions.

Now, I have finished a first draft of what I want for Active Workers ... For the start of the website, it only requires maybe 4 or 5 people ... but that is when the website is going to be small. If ... errrr WHEN ... the site grows [thinking positive!] I see this expanding to about 35 positions, if not more. It all depends on the growth of the website.

I haven't started to look at what I want for the Progressive Workers ... I will have that by the end of the weekend I hope. [Note: This weekend marks the last Musical production I am hired for until the Summer]. I think the same will apply though ... a few people to start, then growing as the website requires more attention. I actually sort of want the Progressive workers to be Active workers when possible .. because the site won't need behind-the-scenes workers 100% of the time [I hope].

This is my first large scale website I am planning [and I hope it will achieve a large scale], so I may be mistaken on some points ...

In any case, I am going to be changing the xda-mp.com page from its display to an application form once I get this list finalized. At that point, I hope to get a good deal of interested people. Trust me, I won't be one to turn people down ... it is just a formality I would like to follow ... for records sake.

I don't know many specifics of everything ... I am going to consult with friends/lawyer/developers etc. to see what it is I really need to get going here.

I hope this update suffices a bit. (6_6)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cajunflavoredbob:
Updates? Please don't abandon this idea. It's a great concept that would really benefit the community.

Alright for your windows mobile section just remember I have you covered. My most recent games like supermeatboy, tiny wings bounce , supermariobros run ,Obama vs Osama punch-out are all great.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
Wow ... been a while since I looked at this >.<

Uhm ... I hate to say it, but at the current moment, I don't see myself working on this web-project. I thought the idea was pretty great to start with, but the lack of support on this forum is a pretty strong indicator of the success of the website: especially considering the influence of XDA on the community.

The inability to link the Marketplace with XDA due to security, the lack of support and backing for the project, and the lack of time I had when I started all added up to this unfortunate 'death'. I would love to do this, I honestly would, but I am starting up another huge project that is more ... 'universal' ... that I expect to take well over 3 months [of constant hard work] to get running, and as I wrote out that 'jobs' sheet to see if I could just give the project to the community, I noticed that there simply were NOT enough followers here to fill up even the NECESSARY job positions.

Its sad, but I have drifted away from Mobile Development, and closer to Web Development ... and for now, it doesn't seem feasible to accomplish this project [especially with the shift to WP7]. Further, attending Cornell this coming fall is going to consume much much much of my time, and I probably once again won't have time for this.

So, I have to apologize for the few that actually followed this ... hopefully another developer will attempt to tackle this. If one does come along, they can always contact me here on XDA.

For what? He said development was stopped.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JohnMonsour:
Did not know that..... Wow. LMAO. :eek:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raving_nanza:
500+ people would like to see this happen.

OP said: not enough support = lying out of his rear end!

even NRG has said he will support it!

(which meens a

lot

of users support) :cool:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cajunflavoredbob:
Three posts up from your original post (#150) was the post where he said development had stopped. Please read the threads before commenting. I'm not being rude, but it's the proper thing to do in ANY thread.

He didn't have enough developer support. He didn't receive responses from enough people who were making applications to put on the site. Last I checked, NRGZ28 wasn't making applications, but ROMs instead. Before you go off calling someone a liar for no reason, please get the facts straight. Just because the community wants it to happen doesn't mean David Copperfield will wave his wand and make it happen. The project needed support from developers in order to have content on the site. The XDA admins also would not allow it to be linked in any way to the XDA site. There were several other challenges, but instead of me reposting them, perhaps you should skim back and read instead of insulting people without a basic understanding of the subject.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raving_nanza:
i did not say NRG was making applications, i said he would support it.

(eg, cooking an app for this in all his roms, which would give this app support from probably a million users.. or a good proportion of XDA users anyway, which meens also a great possibility of more app devs getting involved on the project just because of NRG and his roms ;))

btw, the fact of the matter is that lots of developers have said they would support it, eg Joe_Coolish (XDAFacebook), Zarpy (Various games dev).

something like this needs time to grow, eg more app devs joining etc, OP cant just expect it to grow over night so to speak, plus with the marketplace dead this

would

of taken its place for sure.

maybe admins should delete this thread?

- dev has stopped.

or maybe just edit the title to:

- "[DEV STOPPED]"

* which would be the most obvious thing to do, at least this way people will know dev has stopped on this project, instead of missleading the community with the title left the way it is.

most users go straight to the first post where all the important information is, download links etc, and then read through up to the last post.. but with this thread only to find out eg 100+ posts later that dev has stopped.

so to stop people saying "cant wait", editing the title of the thread is the best soloution, also so this thread can die out like the project has :cool:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
Okay, I figure I ought to step in here and clarify a few factors.

Before continuing on here, please go to PAGE 15 and read just that page alone. I think it says a lot.

Okay, so if you have read Page 15 by now, you will notice that my updates were about 1 month apart each time. I, much like almost every other user on this forum, have other priorities in my life. I did what I could, when I could, as best as I could. But nothing eliminates the fact that I am an amateur developer ... merely a student on the road of learning. I wouldn't be able to do this quickly, simply put. I knew there was a long road ahead. I mean, look at the first post in this whole thing. MID NOVEMBER. My official statement that I would not be working on this was in LATE MAY. I don't personally see that as "over-night". That was literally between 6 and 7 months of building, and to get what? 10 committed followers as best?

I understand that everything starts slowly, then builds. But on a community hosting close to 3.9 MILLION USERS, to only grab significant attention of 10 people ... I think that justifies my statement of :

And, please, I beg you to look at the title and the first post. Both indicate my looking for support. One of my main arguments for not spending time on this website has been due to a lack of community support. I left it as such hoping that eventually people would see this and want to support, in which case I would have ressurrected the project.

I am not promising that I am going to start this, and I am not changing the status of the project. I am just saying that if ever my arguments for putting it to rest become invalid, I would gladly work on this again.

I hope this clarifies a little bit.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cajunflavoredbob:
You are right about changing the title or the OP post. I see Cyclonezephyrxz7 "Thanked" my previous post, so I'm sure he can make the appropriate changes to avoid confusion. It is, however, always a good idea to read the last several posts in a thread in order to make sure of the direction of the current discussion. It is a disappointment to read about this development and then find out at the end that it has been cancelled, though.

As for cooking it into a ROM, it doesn't do much good if no one has any apps for it. We tried to garner support, but could not get enough devs behind it. I don't think Cyclonezephyrxz7 and I even had more than ten devs together on it with our combined marketing.

I recently spoke to a person from the Andoird forums who was looking to implement a similar thing for them. I warned them of the potential pitfalls of this, but also assured him it would do well if the support could be gained. I instructed him to contact Cyclonezephyrxz7 about that idea and about possibly transferring the domain for the project.

In a nutshell, this was a fantastic idea. This wasn't the first time someone had thought about it, but this was a much more well-rounded project than the original XDA Market. It was the lack of support from devs and road blocks with XDA admins that eventually caused this project's demise.

@Cyclonezephyrxz7 raving_nanza has a point about changing the title and OP content to reflect this point in the development.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
Always happy to oblige.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raving_nanza:
tbh with the downfall of marketplace, my biggest concern for OP, this would be the best time for you to "revive" this project.

i am sure you will get significantly more developers now - considering the fact about marketplace and you know it ;)

take in mind that most app devs would probably only join when the project is complete and see it in action, thats when you will get the most support, which is exactly what you want but ...

i know if i was to develop an app, id like to see what it is im signing my app up to, eg see your project in action first with other apps before i put my app on your market so to speak, worth thinking about though......(sure others would agree)

btw, @OP did you ever let the news writers write up on this project to gain the support of app devs? just a thought :cool:

id change [looking for support] to something more eye catching for app devs, it looks like you want something rather than offering something :rolleyes:

thanks for updating the title, thought id mention that i wasnt having a go at you, just stating the obvious :D;)

Rn

ps, did you like my batman pic :D lol
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
Like I said ... no promises.

I didn't know that the Marketplace basically 'collapsed' ... I haven't been keeping myself up to date on that stuff ... but I will say that I still have all my original progress still saved on my computer.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zarpy:
Ok let me clear things up so its clear. I have talk to the OP and gave him premission to put all of my games on the marketplace. Now he hasnt got the same support from all developers here.

When I made the official freeware wvga,vga, and qvga thread I contacted developers myself. Most developers were not friendly , fearing somehow that I would get credit for thier games. Now thats impossible because I link back to thier thread , so how would I get credit? Thats the way developers think here which makes no sense to me at all.

So to the OP just go ahead take anything from my site and put in the marketplace. Solid games like angry birds adventure, tiny wings bounce , SuperMarioRunner , and supermeatboy saws of death should get you alot of viewers quickly.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cajunflavoredbob:
I wish I could give out more than one Thanks to you. That's the most support we've gotten so far.

Hello friends, I'm coming here to try to solve my problem.

It happened yesterday when I tried to restore the backup from my old carrier rom manager for SGS, which happened after restoring, I asked to restore the factory settings, which I had forgotten was that I forgot to stir in the OCLF Ryanza, I did not un- lagfix v2 ext2 or removed, the restoration has not lost the root, but is not available lagfix2.2 the grays.

Clicked upon installing lagfix2.2 although not selectable, and the message appeared that it would not be able to install because I already traces of the partition lagfix (ie 852mb).

Is to reverse this process, how to uninstall all vestiges of the past and lagfix, and install again?? Thanks. :eek:
