EDIT................................

Did u read the forum rules before posting this?

Noyze
Noyze from Tom Barrasso. Lollipop doesn't permit locking the volume rocker in the lockscreen (leading to inadvertent changes in ring volume while the phone is in a case or pocket). Noyze lets you disable the rocker in the lockscreen. It also does many more things related to device volume control but this one feature sealed the deal for me.
Tom no longer develops the app but he has kindly made it available as donationware at his website. barrasso [dot] me

Hey dude, seriously, there has been a big discussion over this Sent from my Nexus One using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk thing... requesting you to please turn it off through your settings...
has been mentioned in threads here already. Im not sure if the bbc story was mentionned, but you might be better off looking for that thread and posting in there instead of starting a new one

glad to hear the quick news about flash, maybe that means froyo will be showing up this month too...
and, at y2whisper, the other thread was closed, because it was made perfectly clear that most people would like it turned off. the tapatalk notification is annoying as sin
Thats fine that they would, I opt to keep it on, only out of gratitude for the program and that about 10% of my posts are done via the program. should that percentage increase or simply just over time (unless there is some kind of upgrade) I will shut it off.
Mind you my motivation with it is that its xda specific and its how i found out about the application in the first place.

I agree it's annoying and all, but I believe that's how a lot of people know about the program. If everybody turns it off, I bet there's gonna be a bunch of thread asking what this program is. lol

You can always block people who don't disable the signature.
Admin is working with the developer to change the spam that the application places in the body of the post which is what annoys most people. They did not specify what would be done but apparently relief is on the way.
need to make it so you can assign a sig to it your self, or not at all.

But, if you reply with it, doesn't it just use the sig you already have specified in the forum?
They didnt say what they were going to do. What bothers most people is that it is amended into the body of the post and as they surf the forum they end up reading it over and over and over.... It sounded like a line break such as before the signatures to move it out of the body of the post would be a front runner. We'll see.

Fastest slide-mod to date!! Faster than cm5!!!

.KingsSlide2G1 v-1.3 is by far THE FASTEST...His thread is closed but if you downlaod the rom flash it..give it plenty of time to boot...then with root explorer go into system/app and delete the bluetooth apk ..since it doesnt work anyway...and the rest of the themes u dont use for mymodes, and some mroe programs you dont use like astro and visual voicemail..and BOOOOOOM!!! THE THING FLIES FASTER THAN CM5!!!You can even download the Facebook.apk from the applanet app, and YES FACEBOOK SYNC WORKS!!! No FCs, No Home screen reloading...nothing...EVERYTHING WORKS!!! except bluetooth of course.
I don't think this is the right section.
Edit: i'm only saying this because it doesn't seem very developmentish. there are opinions of roms in this subsection.

Theres a lot more than just warez thats not allowed. Such as using the content of another rom without asking permission from the developer/giving credit to that developer. I dont know the details, but why question it ? Admins know the rules better than any of us and if they think it doesnt comply, it doesnt.
i have a problem believing his is any faster than chiefs, and chiefs supports more devices (including mine). does the genius button work in kings? not does it open up. does it actually connect to data send what you said and return an action?
Reported for removal/move.
Read the rules before posting please. There were some issues with King's rom which created a flamewar of hatred and evil little children teasing each other, so they closed it to avoid some gigantic ball of acid.
BTW his slide rom is NOT faster then CM5, stop dreaming. Apps take twice as long to load and there are some slowdowns here and there.

King is known for including full versions of a few favorite utilities that cost $3 each or something. That's why a thread with one of his old rom's I used to use was closed anyway.
Glad you are happy with it though, but new roms come out every week, so starting a new thread claiming a closed thread has the be-all end-all rom is kinda un-kewl. Plus I need BT

whats the problem with whatsapp ?
Whatsapp? Its a bad idea. You would have to divulge your personal phone number. If you are comfortable with doing that there is still the issue of annoying noobs that keep on asking for ETAs. Imagine that, you phone going off every few seconds because someone asks a question that has been answered before or posts "CAN I HAZ ROM PLZ".

Basically you make a new circle and name it Xda and then add all the xda members you can find in the xda circle
Just Search for XDA on google plus, there seems to be a couple of pages out there
You can start adding people who post on the thread to you XDA circle
You will find quiet a few Top Devs there
There was actually a post about this in this same forum if you care to search or will update later

Whatsapp was a bad idea since everyone is required to have each others phone numbers, but why create a Facebook group, surely there is enough of these group pages out there, plus not all of us have facebook.
Surely, there are other alternatives out there, such as Google+ as suggested, Touch (PingChat), Kik, Microsoft Lync etc...

How to get app reviewed and increase the downloads??

People who has downloaded the app used it have given good rating and feedback. But still downloads are not at all increasing.
All my request to app info sites for review has not been replied or they will ask for money
Looks like there is no scope for good developers with no budget

That's not true: if the app is worth it will be reviewed by some important site such as xda portal (for free) and will start getting a good amount of downloads. Of course you need to keep on promoting on the forums etc.
By the way, what's your application?

Google Play has some free channel to help developers promote their apps, but that requires some downloads in some days or something like that.
So, you can try make cooperation with someone, and recommand your app via partner channel.
then you may have the chance of listing in Top New Free to Google Play. :laugh:

I think here XDA forum is also a place for hunting partners :lol
Getting some websites to review your app sure can be challenging. Those websites get hundreds of emails a day and it is hard to scan through all of them, but some of them might pick you up on the offer.
I personally posted on Reddit and it didn't get much attention...I might need to try it again, but maybe people didn't like the app...

Sorry, what do you mean with "some downloads"? 10k? 100k? Thank you..
I believe that the best always rises to the top.You do not even need to market your app.It only takes a man to download your app and get the ball rolling.If your blog is interesting and useful,you don’t need to do much else.Example of this is the popularity of Instagram.

This only works for some very special cases; for the others, a bit of "push" is necessary.
To my mind, the quality of the app does evrything by itself.
We had the same problem after we have launched (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/good-weather/id601784766).
We found out that the best way is to approach our users who were engaged with the app.
We thought of a compelling way to ask them to rate us at the store /share the app with a friend/ tweet etc and it worked beyond our expectations...
Bottom line - when you ask someone who likes you nicely at the right time you are much more likely get respond.
We have since decided to develop it to a product which other developers can use - www.kudos-kit.com
Right now Reddit is a good way to promote your app, but best way is here in XDA.
Also, post it on forums allways can help a lot, since most of review sites are not free....

Haha i know, was just kidding, everyone started as a Junior Member even me.
I have been using the Outlook app for a wile, but not anymore had some problems like random crashing (FC), and sync problems.
I now use the google email app on all devices, i usaly remove the stock email app (like the Samsung email app on the Note 10.1 or the Galaxy S4) and install the one from google apps, i just like the clean interface.
O and i wish you good luck XDA Developers. :good:
