We've always claimed that a centralized index of ROM's for all Android devices will help everyone including XDA and all the other forums and blogs out there.
The Release Database makes it's MUCH MUCH easier for all the community to find the latest releases for their devices and directs them to the official location for the releases.
We've added a lot of functionality to the release database and more developers are using the system, but not enough.
7/23/2011:
Lots of new features have been added to Community Release
As users, you can register in the system and then follow:
Releases
Devices
Developers
Rate the releases you like so other know if they are good or not.
Soon you wil be able to leave comments with your ratings too
When you follow anything, you receive email notifications when some related to what you are following is updated.
e.g. Follow your favorite developer and when that developer releases something new, you get notified.
You can now narrow the list by OS Version, Developer or Device making it very easy to find the release for you device.
We are still working hard to provide this but we still have a long way to go. The only way to keep it updated is if the developers maintain their release entries in the release database or at least let us know when a new release comes out.
There are so many ROMs for so many devices now that it's almost an impossible tasks and we'd prefer the developers to do the updates.
If you developer a ROM, Theme or application for any Android device, please help pus out. Drop us an email at [email protected] or hit me up on GChat at [email protected].
You can also check out the release list to see if your release is already hosted.
We are still NOT ask for anything from the developers or the community for these services and cover all our costs through advertising.
What do we offer?
File hosting using FTP or our Web Based file manager.
Download tracking for your files.
Release notification to the entire community for your release.
Dedicated forum area with full moderation rights.
We don't require you to use all our services, the only important area is the release database. We don't care if your thread is on XDA or any other forums out there. Our only objective is to help the community. To de-fragment the release of software within the community.
I hope you'll help us out and wait to from anyone who wants access.

good job friend, i hope you will have success!
@Simon, there's already a wiki article on xda that list all the available ROMs for the Hero; GSM, CDMA.
Sounds like a good idea, having 1000 different threads for different roms is a pretty inefficient way of doing things.
Also, you need to differentiate between MyTouch and MyTouch 1.2/Fender LE since it doesn't look like you did.
How about an androidspin app

There are many sources and lists of ROMs for all different devices. What AndroidSPIN is trying to do is create a single index of ALL ROMs for any Android device for every forum and site out there.
A single location you can go to to find the latest, download them and get back to the original thread on whatever forum.
So which list do you choose to check and on which site?
We'd love to create an App.. Any volunteers?
We don't have any Android developers on staff.
BenBuchacher was looking at using the Cyanongen Updater app as a base but any suggestions welcome.
We already started a discussion here if you have any thoughts or time to help.

You don't flash your device with it. You essential launch it from file explorer and phone boots into it. A soft reset brings you back to WM.

You can also press and hold the end call button, and you can choose 'Power Off' but I still end up having to soft-reset, many things are not working, but i'm sure that will all get worked out at some point, wish i could do more for the project than just installing it lol

Can you upload the files needed.
I tried downloading from the site that you posted but I am unable to do so.
Thanks,
This one worked for me, I hit a broken link also

This isn't ready for prime time yet. There is a lot of hardware support missing as I write this (e.g. no suspending or powering off, no Bluetooth, WiFi, or anything but plain GSM [GPRS, 3G, etc], no accelerometer, no sound [and no sound I/O in calls, so you can't hear or be heard], no cameras, et cetera).
The lion's share of the problems aren't with Android, they're with providing Linux device drivers for all of the machine's hardware. Android itself seems to work just fine with what devices the Linux kernel gives it!
But in the hopes that this may spark some more creative interest from kernel hackers (*) (as opposed to such comments as 'but why wasn't it ready twenty years ago?'), here are some rough (and fuzzy) screenshots from my Touch Pro:

The last two are from the Dev Tool's console application, showing the contents of /proc/cpuinfo (partial) and /proc/interrupts.
(*) I'd love to get involved myself, but my kernel hacking experience is in bigger, heavier devices with fewer radios. (but I'm looking around the kernel sources regardless).

Thanks. I'm not much of an IRC user, though this is A Good Cause. I've checked out the kernel source and had a look through some interesting bits. Went through the memory maps etc on the wiki and realised just what brave souls you guys are (some of this stuff is truly obtuse — but I know the rewards when you finally manage to get some bizarre device working). Having a look at the basics of ARM Assembly now (never had much reason to use it before). I generally have very little free time, but I obsess easily, and I'd really like to have something other than Windows on my Raphael.

Hi!
android now have the times tested (Raph100), is a beautiful thing. Will not single network connection. Neither wireless nor USB 3G yet.
Why is this and how can I set up?

Android Open Source Compiler
Build Android with a gui.
This project will be a continuous battle. Which is why I decided to not "package" this in terms of distro. I have written a make file and instructions on how to build this very easily. This way, you can't always get the latest code from either they master (unstable) branch or the Stable (stable) branch. Plus no harm in teaching you little bit of git.
Use the poll to gauge project priority, also mention more projects so I can add them to the polls.

I have thought maybe times different ways I was going to go about this. Ads, donate version, paid app, etc. I choose to keep the project open, as that's how I roll. I do ask that if you enjoy the application that you try to donate something. This was my first gui project and took a lot of time and effort to even get it to where it is right now. I hope everyone enjoys the app as much as I enjoy working on it.

Tons of people were behind it. Then a few from cyanogenmod talked **** about being a kanginator. So tried changing the name adding in new options, more projects, tried to make it into a tool that's more. Never happened. No hate. I still work on it. Just kinda sucks.

Well that isn't an appropriate way for users to feel. Maybe someday people will appreciate the effort, time and work that you and I and other devs put into these 'projects' to make things easier.

Hello, fellow HP Touchpad Users!
I have created a mini-site that I hope some people will find helpful.
It is a catalog of ROMs for the HP Touchpad, listed by date posted, with small amounts of helpful information about them listed on each post.
The current categories are CM10.1, CM10, CM9, and Ubuntu. I've put 11 roms that I found on the first few pages of the Development forum on the site as examples so people can see how it works.
If you've got a ROM you think should be on the list, go to the "Got a Rom?" tab, and fill out the information. (The more accurate the information, the faster I can approve the new ROM listing.)

I'm also doing my best to make the site easily expandable, so that I may be able to list more than just HP Touchpad ROMs.
If you'd like to see any more features on this list, let me know, and I'll see what I can do. I'll have quite a bit more free time in a month.

Good idea, and a lot of work. Thanks!
Well done. I like the idea. I just wanted to give a shout out to this ROM(s) that isnt on the list:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2225962
I think its overlooked a lot and I feel its one of the better 4.2.2 ones. I'd input the ROM myself as you suggested but I feel thats something you or the dev needs to do.

Hey, thanks chilcle_11 & jsgraphicart! I'm glad it's helpful to you.
That looks like a great ROM, jsgraphicart! It's just fine if you submit that ROM yourself, and actually I would prefer it if you did, and here's why:
There's a lot of great ROMs on these forums for the Touchpad, and there's a lot of people who have installed them. They know first hand what's broken on the ROMs, and what works, from using them. I'd rather them share what they know, rather than what I think.
When you submit the info about that ROM, I review it before it gets added to the list, so don't worry about messing up. I apologize if the form looks a bit stark and intimidating; I'm working on making it friendlier.
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using xda app-developers app
Thanks to a tip from flintman, I was able to make a few changes to how ROMs are stored, in reference to the software they are based on.
ROMs are now listed by Android version, rather than CM version, as some ROMs are not based on the CM source.
I also made the sorting buttons easier to see and click, and made the submission page friendlier (I hope!).
Thank you to those who have helped by giving ratings, as well as the couple of people who have submitted ROMs.
You must be new around here, or you wouldn't have omitted Shumash's Schizoid CM10 4.1.2 rom. With the exception of JC Sullins' build, it's the most prominent CM10 rom on the forum. Also, you list Liquid Smooth as a 4.2 rom and it is not. It's a 4.1 rom that's been discontinued for at least 3 mos.
If I'm being honest, while I'm sure you have good intentions, IMO this type of thread isn't very useful in the TP forum. There just aren't that many viable roms that are being currently supported, you can easily find all the available ones in the first few threads in the dev section.
As I said, I'm sure your intent is well meant but that's just my opinion.

There are always uses for pre-released files and system dumps.
Whether for digging through files to see what's included, what features lie within, etc,...or for simply porting the software or bits and pieces of the software to "other" devices.
Those are just two very obvious reasons why the files would be of interest to developers.

you are well informed about the xda-scene. LOL :laugh:
anyways... i found some new live wallpapers but i couldn't get them working so far on the htc10 with android6.
they are located in system/app/WallpapersBReel.
the package system/app/WallpapersUsTwo is for sure related to it.
i also added system/app/LiveWallpapersPicker to try..
no luck so far. i can select some of the live-backgrounds even if there is a FC on the WallpapersUsTwo apk.
but the background won't show (black background).
the live earth-wallpaper doesn't even show up in the picker (the most interesting one).
i attached a preview pic of the earth live wallpaper.
maybe someone else can also dig into it and see what else is missing..

Hey everyone! So after a bit of a break I'm back and I've brought along some new themes for everyone to enjoy! Some of you may remember me over the past few years from various LG devices. So what the purpose of this thread is, is to provide support, feedback and allow me to communicate, interact and discuss my themes with all members of xda. I know that a lot of people now are pivoting to telegram but honestly albeit convenient it's just not as good for people to find things. With this format other members can view the thread and see suggestions or issues that have been brought up or add their own. I much prefer it this way and with all of my other threads I've found XDA to be the best way to provide support and gather feedback from members all over the world. There are a few rules that must be abided by. First, the purpose of this thread is exactly what the title states; "Support, feedback & communication". It is not to generate sales/revenue and as such I request that no paid links be posted. I understand some people like to make life easier to those who can't find a link but I forbid this as does XDA rules. XDA rules (11) states that
Don’t use XDA to advertise your product or service. Proprietors of for-pay products or services, may use XDA to get feedback, provide beta access, or a free version of their product for XDA users and to offer support, but not to post with the intention of selling. This includes promoting sites similar / substantially similar to XDA-Developers.com.
So let's keep it that way. Next, I don't mind if you ask me about eta's. I know some people get quite fired up about that but it doesn't bother me. This doesn't mean that when you ask, that one magically shows up. My life has become much busier than it was in the past and I spend considerably more time creating themes than I did when I first was making them for the V20, G6, V30. After those devices it became possible to theme more elements and I also believe my abilities improved. So I really try to focus on attention to details. Next let's have some fun in here. After all this is supposed to be a fun hobby that we all share (customizing our devices). I absolutely love screenshots so if you want to post some of your home screen setup while using my themes, by all means show off your creativity. Lastly be kind and courteous to each other. If you've read this far I thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing your input and feedback. Update info:
In closing some of you may ask about (insert theme name) that you used to use on your old (insert name) device. Some of these themes are anywhere from 2-4 years old and honestly they likely won't be. After about a year or two I normally stop updating a theme. Some themes in all honesty don't require updates. More on that in a bit. But here's the thing. LG has an interesting way of doing things. So for example let's say you used pixel experience on your G7 of V40 and you liked using it. Sure I could technically update it to work on the V60. But by doing so it would cause it to stop working on the G7 or V40. That is simply not fair to do to those who have not changed their devices. I've tried to make it work in the past and it always causes more harm than good so for that reason I generally avoid that. Back to update frequency. As I was saying, not all themes will require frequent updates. A theme sometimes reaches a point where it is pretty much bug free and eventually it runs it course and I don't just update for the sake of updating. An update serves a purpose of either improving of correcting something and sometimes less is more.
Now for my first theme which has an optional add-on system icon pack:
E for Extinction

So I really debated making this theme for a long time. I had the odd email here and there over the years asking if I could make this and I always politely declined. But I decided finally to do it... Why not right! Anyway I think this turned out pretty well and it has dark and light mode styles, icons and wallpapers. When you want to switch switch to default theme, then choose either light or dark mode and reapply the theme. If not the icons won't take properly. Here's some more screenshots if you'd rather look at them longer than shown in my video. Anyway I hope you like it! I'm honestly not sure how many more LG themes I'm going to make. It seems with LG discontinuing their mobile division that interest in themes has died down quite a bit.

We'll see what happens. I need to finish an update for the first theme still. There's a few adjustments needed
