Is there a Google+, Twitter, Facebook, Diaspora, etc page for you guys? That way we can keep track of this new project more easily than having to come here. Just curious :good: Some friends and I were talking about something similar to this project just yesterday then I saw this today. Very interesting. Excited to see what happens with this.

As Pulser stated above there are social entities in place, however it is not a high priority at the moment. This project is progressing but we are going to do so slowly so we don't rush things.

Okay so I see people on here are getting into twitter. So don't know if someone wants to create a new twitter profile who can update news on the hero. I for one would be a follower. Oh and if your not into twitter try it out it's the new facebook.
so no one wants to do this? (sorry for the bump)
How about you doing it?
True but I don't have the time and I also don’t know enough tech stuff. I was thinking that a few trusted peeps could have the password and then it would be so demanding on one person.
Anyway I have set up two accounts one for general stuff and one for the hero. Have a look. Don’t forget to follow as when the updates start coming you will miss out.
Also don’t worry if you don’t have a twitter account you can still view the micro blog via these links
General info: www.twitter.com/xda_developers
Hero info www.twitter.com/xda_dev_hero
BTW sorry about the logo's
I for one would be up for helping update the xda_dev_hero account. Recieved my white Hero on Thursday, and having been a G1 user before I feel pretty familiar with the OS at this point. Wouldn't want to be solely responsible for it, but if others think it would be useful we could certainly get something going...
Good good anyone else up for it?
Ive been doing small updates on Twitter from the hero. I have also been posting pics on Twitter from my other phone. I may post a YouTube soon. Anyway, its richrasp on Twitter if anyone why's to follow.
I have made the code to keep the Twitter automatically up-to-date reading xda-rss and posting the info to twitter. The idea can be adapted to forum threats if needed. If anyone have a threat and want to follow it (like general, dev&hack.. ), just let me know to work on it.
-Thanks to robboy for the password-

Attention, one comment on Amazon says that this book was badly port from Apple App Store to Google Play.
Exchange Reviews with other developers
Lets face it, become successful on Google Play market is nothing easy, yes you need a very unique app but you also need a good marketing campaign in order to get enough downloads and a good rating, most indie developers can't afford that. But wait... there are many apps submitted everyday to android market, that means there are many developers trying to show their own apps, so that means... we are a lot.
Why not help us each others?
Join AndroidKi community and Exchange reviews with other developers!
How it works?
In order to submit your app to get reviewed, you need to review other 3 apps too. Each review gives you 5 AndroidKi points, you need 15 to submit your app. Simple, effective and SEO friendly.

Hey guys @short_sam here,
So for a while now I've realized that your devices don't get the features explained that you would benefit from. So I would like to propose a video series where I explain these 'features' or innovations that make things easier for you. If you would like to me to feature your Rom, Bootloader, Recovery, or even news in my video shoot me a pm, a tweet, a Facebook message, or G+ hangout. My twitter name is short_sam, my G+ is +Sam Short, my facebook username is samshort13, my email is [email protected]. What will happen basically, is you will send me a video request and I will try my best to cover it in the video. I hope to bring to light what all of you amazing developers have been working on. You guys honestly have saved me a lot of trouble when it comes to support for my phones. I look forward to working with you all! The op will be updated as new videos are added.
-Thanks fellow xda members!

It's was very hard and almost impossible if you don't have at least a small marketing budget. I am making this thread to help developers learn.
I want to stress that all my marketing was free. I didn't use paid advertisement.
Deciding what I am going to make
1) I decided to make a platform game that had very simple controls, anyone can understand how to play it without instructions.
2) I decided to use some cartoon images that, almost all I made myself. There is no some "Complicated graphics".
3) I made the game easy enough so that a gamer can play it without instructions.
Before Launch
1) After I finished the game I didn't release it to the google play store , that would equal a fail. I opened a small community in Google+ and collected some people that want to hear when I release the game to production.
2) I posted on facebook groups screenshots about my game that going to be published. I did it in 5-6 groups and I spend on it 3 days.
3) I went to some games forums and also a create a post and trying to make people waiting for this game to be published.
Launch
1) Launched my app on Google Play , posted on facebook and on Google+ that its finally arrived. And here comes the numbers:
After one week my app got more than 10,000 installs!
And now my game has 46,000 downloads at Google Play!
And I am still fighting to get more downloads. Hopefully I can reach higher but for last couple of days the downloads just decreasing Any questions ask away.

Please tell me if this thread help you
congrats
I don't think you got the downloads for the reason you think. I am unsure what you did, but almost 800 ratings is good.
congrats on your successful launch that is a lot of downloads for that type of game.

So, If can I ask, why do you think all the downloads come from?
And thanks for replaying
Pretty interesting read, thanks!
Do you have a facebook page or something where people can follow you as a developer? I'm not sure if I should do that for the future.
4 days ago I published my first Android App. I prepared my release fairly well, I've read a lot about marketing apps.
- I've posted my app on forums where I'm active, inclusive a niche forum for the app.
- I've posted it on my personal facebook and tumblr.
- I've made a pretty good YouTube video for it.
- I've send it to over 30 review sites.
The reviews I've received are all very good, but I'm still struggling to get downloads. I'm still at 50-100 and I've done the best promoting I could.
Any tips?

I have a community page in Google+ at the link:
https://plus.google.com/communities/104791047015811270026
You are more than welcome to join my community
1) A bunch of facebook groups are here where you can post some screenshots of your app:
> https://www.facebook.com/groups/108079516002935/
> Innovative APP Users & Developers for iPhone, iPad, Blackberry & Android (Huge group, more than 9k people are in this group)
> https://www.facebook.com/groups/152169141638746/
Publish your app in these groups and you will get downloads for sure.
I very recommend using this Forum, post there some screenshots of your app with description and I'm sure you will receive more downloads:

Can you show statistics of sources of installation? Just to compare how many people comes from reviews, Facebook, YouTube and other places.

We've hit the wall getting a 100 a day, and actually we did pay for advertising, I like your strategy and will try that with our next title. Indy devs paying it forward i like it!

100 download per day is pretty good!
Look at my first comment. Publish your game in facebook groups and forums and try to get people knowing about your game, If they like it they will share it with their friends and you will get more downloads.
BTW I saw your game. Its looks very nice Keep updating this game.
This is cool!
hi , cool game you have there
thanks for sharing your experience
Thanks for your sharing
Some pretty good numbers. Best of luck with your app

Agree with it
but truly graphics sucks

Juste to be more helpful what's the list of forum where you have annonce jour game,
Thinks
From my own experience I can say, that it's very hard to find the right formula. There are so many variables and sometimes one method will work for specific app, sometimes not. But I agree that social factor has the best influence in downloads. The more people see, hear about your app - the more likely they will tell their friends and etc.
Thanks for the information really helpful, I will open a community in G+ right now for my current project.
Good luck with your platformer
