WP7 Gamers

Hi all, with the current lack of global leaderboards, or any specific WP7 Gaming community (that I've found) I've set up WP7 Gamers.
At present, we're on Facebook and twitter (search out WP7 Gamers). A fully fledged website may follow later should interest deem it worthwhile. Also as this is done in my spare time (which I lack enough of!) - if anyone is interested in becoming an admin/mod/poster - please feel free to drop me a message!
Not wanting to upset the mod's on here, this is not run for profit! Just couldn't find what I was looking for! so set out to make it myself. Also for the dev's out there wanting to promote their titles, please feel free to send any information/screenshots/video's and I'll make sure they are shared
Hope this is ok?

gr8 idea dude

Hey sHAYM4N I'm trying to message you but it's not letting me, can you send me one that I can reply to? Thx man.

If you want, I could lend you my website.
It was supposed to be a site dedicated to game news/reviews for WP7 that I started as a school project, but I couldn't find the time to continue it. If you and a small group wanted to take charge more or less, I would give you guys all the info needed to moderate the forums, and if you wanted to, you could even post news and get the front end going again - assuming people posting news were literate.
Let me know.

Cheers for that, but I may have to look at designing from scratch for what I have in mind.
I don't really want this to be another new/reviews website if it goes that way. I want to try and create something that I see as an extension to XBox Live. Something different...
Having a quick search around it appears Microsoft don't have an open API for XBox which is a real shame tbh, because there are a lot of things that could be done further which I don't think are yet being taken advantage of.
In a perfect scenario I would like to see members register for the website using their gamertag, from there they could access leaderboards, compare gamerscores, compete in challenges, whilst also being an active social forum for indie developers.
I'd also be looking for the site to be run by 5-10 people - preferably from different timezones!
If the idea took off and interest grew, challenges could turn into competitions, advertising into supporting the site etc...
When I get chance I'll mock up some designs. I'm more of a designer than a developer - so if anyone has got any advice, or want's to get on board so to speak - feel free to let me know!
For the time being there will be weekly challenges on the Facebook Page. Get the highest score by the closing time, and your gamertag/pic will be crowned on the Profile Pic.
I'll also be posting information about Indie Games, so if you want your game featured please let me know! They won't be reviewed so to speak, just information/screenshots. The idea is to provide the information, and let the community review the game.

I have an offer for those who need to share files

Hello everyone,
There is a known issue that most cloud share sites like dropbox and box.net loose sharing due to bandwidth allocation issues.. with that said, I have a offer for you if you need to share development files here.
I am a technology solutions provider for the whole region where I live, (in the united states) and I offer you my personal site http://hazard1nc.com it has limited bandwidth for now, but the more people sign up for accounts using my link provided in the first post on my site, you will notice that it says it will give me more features, theses features include bandwidth and more storage, its my dream ultimately to self host but due to new baby being born and taking care of 6 people hinder such dreams for now.
So if you need storage and bandwidth, I rarely use my site as I'm busy running my business and being a family man, if I can help out with this, I'd be happy to do so! So thanks for reading and I hope that this can help you.

Are you offering housing space for development?

I am offering a place to share, I don't have much to offer in terms of anyway to have a CVS repo or anything, but I am offering a place to put your final test projects for members both here and there to test on. If it was self hosted (money issues) I'd offer what more I could.
Sent from my SGH-I927

Hell if you can make the site work for development purposes and give me feedback on plugins and such that I should add, I'd be happy to listen.

If it's a money making site then I'm afraid that isn't allowed here on XDA.

Its not about making money, I am doing it out of the kindness of my heart and funding it myself. I just said that I don't have the funds currently.
I won't turn away donations, the site itself was just a way to share my tech interests with my local community freely offering tips and tricks for their computer needs as I am the only technology consultant around for 100 miles.
In reality, I just don't have time, I was going to post my local services on a page but if that makes it bad for helping people here then I won't

Would you happen to be able to give Team Aurora (ItsMeBdon, Shawn, me) a part of your site where we can upload? We're nearing our Dropbox limit and don't really have any other options :|
Thanks!

I kinda jumped before looking, id be happy to assist but my host caps uploads at 8mb if you can keep it in that range I'd be happy to, I'm looking for another host and might have found one, keep in touch with me and I will do my best. I gotta make sure they don't cap my uploads to the server but I'd be happy to once I get the right host

Okay guys I'm sorry it took me so long, I found a new host but can't take my domain with just yet to it.. not going into details why, but if you want me to host your projects, I will be happy to do so.
I am also surprised that none of you share bigger files like roms and such on bittorrent.. would seem more ideal to share this way and its more safe as it uses hashes to piece the app back together.. anyways that's not the point.
I have a list of numerous different share sites and cloud technologies on this page here.
Most note worthy of the cloud servers would have to be ADrive.com giving away 50gb storage for free for banners, and as long as you set your hosts files just right, you don't even see a single banner or ad, I haven't yet anyways.
I just hope that this helps everyone who working on these projects and I will do my best to keep these site lists current for you and add more as we go along.
I am just sorry it took me so long to get setup, my wife about to give birth any day now, my 4th and its been mad hectic with work and steess, but the site is down right now on the new host and will be for a couple weeks.
Thank you all for being patient and I will get this going for you, I'll put up polls and such so you can help me make the site better for your needs in this way..
Anyways, busy times for me ahead,will try to pop in when I can yo test for those who need a tester, but gonna be hectic more so for a few months, will keep updated on the sites progress and will need some help testing that when able, sign up for that when its more close to the end, maybe a couple weeks more, at the latest.

Honestly, I'm very glad that people don't host their roms via bittorrent, as it's a nightmare for anyone who's looking to snag something for an older phone. I often find myself in possession of old android hardware, and I repurpose them for VoIP phones or other misc. With older hardware, it's often unbearably slow on the official rom, and the best solution is to track down something custom.
I just spent like 4 hours tracking down a rom for the Huawei Ascend M860, over half of the links were dead, and an entire site where a large portion of the development took place had folded because of the age of the device. With torrents, it's easy for something less popular like an older device to lose what few seeds it had, while a reliable mirror site will at least be up for reasonable amount of time.

Um, doesn't it seem kinda odd that they are promoting a competitor for a job opening?? I don't see legit written anywhere on this.. I work for Pepsi, and don't see anyone giving a coke away for referring an employee.. Just my 2¢

Uhhhhh, how exactly are they promoting a competitor again? I checked out the openings, and the company Web page. The company is grounded and established dude.

So ur saying android and apple aren't competitors?? Again, just my 2¢
From my rat infested note ii

Oh that. The iPad thing. It's probably a 1st gen piece of crap anyways. Which is why they don't mind giving them away. They could be refurbished after cracking them open to get some Apple secrets. I mean a million explanations! We dunno.
I didn't really see that as promoting competition because the company is definitely benefiting more from getting the developer than care about an iPad.

you have to create an account. they are banking that your contact email address will have the same password you use for your account on that site. they probably also try your name at various bank sites with the password you used.

So what? You have to create an account for alot of employers. Fred Meyer, McDonalds, a bunch of places. They use it to keep your user profile and sometimes to keep past applications. By the way, the way I know you don't know for sure is your use of the word "probably".

This is shady as shady gets. They're CLEARLY going above and beyond to sell you on why you should do this. They sound way to desperate. To each there own, but I wouldn't risk it...#SCAM.

okay sir. everybody else is wrong and you are right. this is totally legit. we should all give our personal info to some random site because every body knows that everything on the net is totally trustworthy.
not.

Check it. I'm not trying to prove anyone right or wrong. I just want people to cite what they say. Have some proof and all that. If it's a scam, then someone should report it to the browsers (IE, Mozilla, Google, etc.) so they can stop people from going to it. Let them check it out. Don't just burn on it to burn on it no matter how many "leading" points there are. The only way to know for sure is to go and do it. Someone use a fake email and name and see what happens to it once they "steal" it and whatnot. Feel me?

[Game][2.2+]Chase Whisply: an augmented reality open-source project

Do you want to be part of something new, something unusual? Let me introduce you to "Chase Whisply", an augmented reality game. My friend and I, two computer science students, have been working on this open source project since early July. And we are glad to annnouce the beta 2.0.
"Chase Whisply" turns your smartphone into a gun sight that can reveal ghosts living around you. Your goal is to find them and hunt them! We use Google Play Game Services to provide leaderboards and achievements, and a player profile keeps track of your progress.
Since we are still students, we can't really compete with a game studio. That is not a valid excuse to provide poor quality content, however. Please help us improving the content of "Chase Whisply" by testing our application from the XDA Android App Tester Google Plus Community.
Be sure that we will appreciate every single feedback, especially on the concept.
From France, with love !

You will get help,but make sure you don't use Xdaer's juz for your testings!
Coz beta testing of apps is somewhat aways from xda's rules!
#no offence
Well wherz the link to your project/app?

Where to download?

Hi! I tried to follow the rules of the Google Plus XDA Android App Tester Community, a moderator posted a thread on the community where you can find a link to the beta =) Unfortunately I am a new user, I can't post outside link in my messages. I will try to contact a moderator of the G+ Community to give you a direct link.

Link to the google play beta --> Here
Xda Beta testing community --> Here
Installing to give it a look now

Thanks martinusbe =)
Note that you have to be part of the community before you can opt-in for the beta test, otherwise you will get a 404 error.
Chase WHisply is an open source project, would Xdaer's be interested in a link to the source code?

the link doesn't work

link broken bro
gonna search from playstore

Good luck guys

Hi,
Not always the best graphic game is the one that catches the users and succeed, so if your game is running ok and well advertised... you will succeed.

Thanks for your support !
It's true that we underestimated a lot marketing and advertising. That's our first game, we will learn from our "mistakes" and try to not repeat them =)

What VPN if any works well with the Amazon Fire Stick?

Is it possible to add a working VPN on the firestick? I was going to try IPvanish for a month until I noticed that once you sign up and pay for that month you are tied in for a longer period and funds auto deducted. I just want a pay as you go sort of thing if it's not free of course.
I want to be able to use all my addons on Kodi not just a few due to the ip limitations. :good:

I guess, to use VPN on Fire TV or Fire TV Stick, it must be rooted. Smart DNSes like Smart DNS Proxy can be used to access geo restricted content.

Can the new fire sticks with the latest software update still be rooted ? I read somewhere that currently the only way to root the Fire TV Stick is to directly manipulate the file system by soldering leads to the 8GB storage chip. I've not heard of Smart DNSes or DNS Proxy so I'll look into that now. Is it straight forward to setup and will it allow me to use the USB stick aboard and still get access to geo restricted content ?

As far as I know there is no easy way to root the Fire TV Stick.
Yes, DNSes like Smart DNS Proxy is very easy to set up and can be used from anywhere in the world to access geo restricted content.

Maybe once you subscribe, you can also push your referral link on other people, friends and family members whenever the topic comes up to try to earn further commissions and "increase your bank account."

You can alter the provided link if you don't want to be used as "a referral."
There are lots of other competing services out there, not just ones that use Amway style marketing.
Maybe the link spam wouldn't have rubbed me the wrong way if gopichandpai had been a little more honest in the multiple threads he linked using his affiliate ID... But no such transparency of motives appeared.
Such is the way of the world

Well, the idea is to $ earned from referral(as well as from my pocket) to donate the amazing developers here.

It wouldn't matter to me if you were using the proceeds to build a worldwide kitten extermination machine. My concern was that you were /are promoting a company not because they may provide a better product or service, but because they give you money. You should mention that you are biased and that your link is a referral when you publish that in a message.
