Before a forum mod even thinks of taking this down- I've been in contract with Svetius and this may go live across XDA.
I would like to beta test here- and give developers and others a good example of what we can accomplish- as a collective.
I'll simplify for anyone who wants to jump in- click one of the following links, and if you don't get it, read on:
This is a link to the view only version, with ability to comment..
https://docs.google.com/document/d/...MZAPx-mLF8tnXPmBV2V7fRo/edit?usp=docslist_api
Here is the developers/contributor linkhttps://docs.google.com/document/d/...MZAPx-mLF8tnXPmBV2V7fRo/edit?usp=docslist_api DO NOT CLICK THIS LINK IF YOUR NOT ACTIVELY DEVELOPING OR CONTRIBUTING- I DO HAVE WAYS TO REMOVE PEOPLE IF THEY TAKE AWAY FROM PROJECT!
If someone else wants to create a new document, please include a link to this instruction document I've already created.
If no one else jumps on creating a development document for unified s5, I will create and post the edit and view/comment links in second post, or add your document if you choose too
I will update and add to this post this morning- please allow me to get second post
As of this moment, developers, recognized contributors, or users are disconnected- and you may not have the time to go hunting each other down, or answer 500 PMS.
This is my effort to connect developers- it is a LIVE document, and it uses your Google account to grant the level of access you need. Because it is a live document, you will see AS other people type. I can give non-devs the ability to view and comment only- but in that way, even they may be able to contribute.
There's a built in chat box.
It automatically tracks who makes changes so no credit has to be given for your work, or you can create a document you own and paste the link in my document. This is how we create a "tree" of organized data..
Links do NOT BREAK.. So even of you move the document in your personal folders, any link you put into my or any other document will work. Period. I've tested this over 4-5 years, and I'm sure of this.
The same way it tracks changes, you can revert to old versions.. So if someone accidentally selected all and hit backspace, by accident or as a jerk, in a few clicks I can put it all back.
I've been taking to mods and development teams here at XDA, and we are going to be doing this XDA wide, or at least that's how it is looking - this reduces devs duplicating work, because it is Google document, it requires no sign up, it's probably on all your devices or easy to download..
Of we start sharing and get or section done, it will give a good example at how all other subgroups can do there's.
The link in my signature(amaze Bible) shows how robust these Google docs can get. Here is a link if you can't see it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1679486

This third post will contain a table of contents once documents start taking shape.
Please help this project, as connecting developers, contributors, and users will help us all!
But I've been asked to make sure this doesn't REPLACE XDA.. So if you have any posts that may be helpful already on XDA - LINK BACK TO IT.
If this goes XDA wide, they may be able to integrate this into XDA with backbend tools.. This could get really cool really fast. Pm or post you're questions or comments- but follow the development section rules!

Follow yes, even help if possible
Click the edit link and go to the bottom where I put examples where I see this going.. You can comment (it explains how in the Google doc) if you don't want to change the doc itself.. So make suggestions, or even help me message a link to this thread to developers.. Because as I said, I've already been getting a pretty positive response from the top mod and his development team..
If we can show them this works and well, it will only help them see maybe this can be a priority.
I'm going to connect them with some backbend tools Google put out to integrate this into the site- so I need our XDA community collective to do/offer whatever they can to get or beta test product into something useful.
As a bonus, as easy as it is to link to docs, and link back to XDA.. We can reduce the number of duplicate questions, need for q&a threads, and the number of messages that developers get!
Even me, a recognized contributor- the more active I am, the more PMs I get..
So come on XDA collective- help me make this work!
It is now robust on a computer, but you can do 90% of this on any Google device you can install apps on

The amaze 4g is definitely a dated device, but we did this for that forum.. It helped a ton
Please, look at this example amaze 4g Bible and click the links in the take of contents which take you to the Google dochttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1679486
I'd like this and more, stepped up a notch, connecting developers- maybe even creating new ones that we allow view/comment access..

BUMP.
I edited original post- if you're a Dev click the second link, if you want to contribute in some way, click the appropriate link.
You literally click the link, on just about any device, especially anything android or a computer- and you're in, and able to contribute. No sign up. No wasted time.
This is EASY as it gets, but I can't make anyone do this.. This is about us collaborating and helping each other, unifying developers in one place - and REDUCING WORK.. Because I'm seeing a lot of developers doing the same thing, and it is called work duplication.. And time that need not be wasted if you all work together.
On top of that, if I and other contributors, official or not, can be part of the process.. Well, think of it as processing power.
Please give it a try, and let's build a team.
for developers and contributors in the unified s5 forum - please check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2997834
I'm trying to increase our collaboration, reduce duplication of work- and maybe even help out a few devs that just don't know your secret Fix's

Hello Fellow XDA Brothers....
I am a hardcore XDA Fan and I can see many users have started posting their download link to other forums.
This is re-directing all the traffic of Xda.... as slowly XDA fans would stop logging on here and go on these sites.
We should take some steps to avoid this....
Wanted your views...
Even for normal users its really irritating to click on the link register then download ? how many clicks are we adding for one download ?
sometimes it is required so that you can download peoples work that directly conflicts in xda's rules, but they can't say anything about it since it is just a link to another site if you get the download from that site, but if you were to grab it directly off of xda then it would go against one of the rules.
or the person doesn't want their work on xda because of the attitudes that a lot of the newer users have that they are entitled to every little thing, and that is the only way you can access their work.
Simple answer, it's because it requires so much bandwidth, which costs money. Each ROM is 30-90mb, and that's only for Android, WinMo coud be bigger, I don't know. The site is kinda slow as it is (I'm not complaining, just saying) so I highly doubt large uploads will be enabled any time soon (current limit is 8mb for zip).
Humm...
Hey thanks for sharing your thoughts....
I have never posted a ROM or Apps... was nt having idea of rules
Still I could see that files were uploaded on servers like mediafire, rapidshare etc..
But now each member posts on different forums... which i did not like frankly...
So many devs come here on XDA and thats the reason why so many things are happening....
United we stand divided we fall.....
XDA Owners should think on this so everyone stays here...
I have a pretty large collection of different custom boot animations that I have found on online, here on xda, and extracted from different roms.
There is no centralized collection of boot animations that work for the Captivate, I'm thinking about starting a custom boot animation gallery thread for the Captivate Themes and Apps forum.
The questions:
1. Is that something people would want?
2. What is the protocol for reposting other people's work? Obviously, I want to (and will) give credit where credit is due, and it will be easy to do so for alot of the animations I have (the one's from here on xda and extracted from roms) but I have no idea who created some of the other ones I've downloaded.
Anyway, it's just an idea. Any feedback would be appreciated.
I think you should start by posting instructions on how to install them first.

Sounds nice. I would just send the author a PM and say you will be posting it here with their credit. If they have a donate button put that in too and they'll usually be happy. Links are good.
Just don't post it without any way for someone to easily figure out who its from .....
Technically u need their permission but as long as you put in a link 99% of authors are totally fine.

Thanks guys. Time to get to work.
I started a thread a bit ago, but other than cmbrougham, no one else added any that they made. I haven't made any since cuz it didn't seem like there was much interest in it. I'll give cmbrougham serious credit though, cuz he does some AWESOME work!
I'd "grain of salt" the no interest thing Demented. I'm a pretty serious lurker and I was all up in those until no one posted any more. I just don't talk a lot. On here. >
Other than the ones mentioned in demented's thread i had a hell of a time finding them. The one site specializing in em didn't work. couldn't find ONE bootanimation on it.
I'm not a complete geek... well, maybe I am... but I'm not your typical noob either. My brain works, sort of, but it can be hard to find stuff, especially if you're short on time. I'd welcome this thread hammer. Go for it.
And someone needs to kick cmbrougham inna bottom or something. He laid that stuff out in what? a day? Come back to us! Definately killer work.
I'm a long time lurker that just decided to make an account. I'd like to give back to this community. You guys can private message me if you'd like an avatar or signature (Or any other custom designed image)
Just make sure you include the following information to your private message:

I'm trying to get more practice in graphical design and have a friend of mine helping me. My friend is based on a different forum, but we are trying to broaden our audience and get out of our comfort zone. More contact info will be posted later, but for now, just message me!
I don't know how to keep a thread alive - or where exactly I should post this - but please keep this thread going and spread the word! If you request an image from me, please, PLEASE give me credit. You don't have to if you don't want to, but it would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks!
Pretty nice offer. Might need to take you up on this!
Any samples?

I'm a graphic designer myself. I also teach individuals how to design with the Adobe programs.
Maybe we could share some of our work for inspiration.

How about you post it in the 'about xda-developers' forum? You can get thanks over there
Hello to everyone,
my name is Georgi and I am part of the AppHunt team.
I did an introduction post here about the AppHunt Android app and what functionalities and social impact it has. The post can be found HERE.
So I want to share you the opportunity to share your app on AppHunt and gain more traction. I will just share here the first 3 reasons from 8 available in our blog post, you can check the others by viewing our blog at: http://blog.theapphunt.com
1. It is FREE. Literally. Everything is free. We don’t tax neither developers, nor users.
2. We have a great community. It is building really fast and most of our users are committed app hunters. You can get really useful advice about your app functionalities.
3. Submission takes 2 taps. It is EASY. Click the pink plus button, select your app, write a short description and press Save.
...
Here is a link to our blog post: http://bnc.lt/apphunt-4-devs
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or problems submitting your app!
We are all about developers and we are ones! So we know how hard it is to gain initial traction!
Leave the hard work to us, you can just sit and enjoy your app's attention!
Cool, going to submit an app. Apparently my account needs to be five days old to do that, so I will have to wait till then.

Hi VilleI,
I am not sure if you are using the right app. Here is a link for it play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apphunt.app to it. We don't require our users to have accounts for 5 days to do things. You should be able to comment and vote apps anonymously. If you want to submit an app the only requirement is to login
Ah I was using the wrong app app submitted now
There will be 3 pages in the android studio software. The first two pages will contain the name of 3 anime series each with little tumbnails with them and a button below to go to the next page. The 3rd page will contain a shot video of 10 second or a gif. To run these content what codes are needed?

Your question is not specific, it's hard to understand what you really want to know. If you don't have programming experience and want this job to be done by someone else, I can make this app for you. All graphic assets must be provided by you.

Hello I need some advice or help on android studio plug in. I actually received an e mail I will just Copy it here :
EMAIL :
Dear Android developer,
We invite you to participate in a research study being conducted at Saarland University in Germany. We found your email address as a professional developer on Google Play.
We have developed FixDroid, an Android Studio plugin to help you learn about different aspects of software security. We're excited to be able to share this with you!
FixDroid helps you to learn more about secure coding. As you write code it finds insecure practices and warns you about them. In some cases it will offer you more secure alternatives as a QuickFix.
FixDroid is, and will remain, free to use and we're delighted if you can use it. In return we'll collect anonymous information about your use of it - but never any of your code or anything to identify you or the code. Please visit https://userstudies.cs.uni-saarland.de/fixdroid/installFixDroid.html to get access to the plugin.
While you try it out, if you've time, please could you possibly participate in a brief scientific study to help us improve FixDroid for you and other users?
Visit https://userstudies.cs.uni-saarland.de/fixdroid/70333f6d4789/468180b5cdf9 for more information or simply reply to this email. We'll be glad to answer any questions. If you don't want to receive emails from us, please visit https://userstudies.cs.uni-saarland.de/fixdroidstudy-bl/new/70333f6d4789/468180b5cdf9 and we will never contact you again.
Our research relies on the generous help of interested developers, so thank you for your help and feedback!
----
END
Now has any one else got this? Is this really helpful? I am asking here because I never heard of fixdroid. I know it is an html plug in and if it really is what it is maybe it will help others. I am just a junior developer so any help from a developer is appreciated tnx.
Help needed please!!
Hello. I'm new in developing apps and trying to learn on Android Studio. I'm creating a app for calculate the percent. The code is done and the interface, but when I run the app in the emulator all the buttons and the layouts appear on the top left of the screen one over the other. I don't know what i'm doing wrong. Thanks for your help.

Please post your layout's xml file. Maybe you are using ConstraintLayout as a parent view instead of LinearLayour?
