receiving software

I donated via paypal on Monday 10th Jan the 5 Euros you suggest on your website http://zendrui.free.fr/ so that I could get a copy of Pocket Zenphone but have heard nothing and would now like to know how I can get the software , or indeed if you received the 5 Euros ?
Thanks
I didn't know there was a link between that Web site and this one?
Anyway, that Web site doesn't have much in the way of contact details and there doesn't seem to be any recourse to complain because, to me, it looks like it's a complete fake!
Surely it only required a quick few glances at their Web site to deduce it wasn't a very formal and "official" Web site?
Why did you decide to pay someone money when you had so little information about them?
I prefer to buy software from legitimate and reputable companies, such as Handango.com. Did it ever occur to you that "Don't pay Handango because they take most of the money" is actually another way of saying "Just give me your damn money!"
I think you've been duped.
Sorry.
although these two sites are not related, zendrui is a genuine and respected member and pzp is his honest product.

Agreed, Mr. Guest please check before you slander someone! :evil:
Slander someone !! What are you talking about , I was merely asking if he received any money and if so , how I would receive the software
If you think I have been as naive as you say then take alook at this link http://www.tekguru.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4385&highlight=zen
from a very reputable site reviewing the product and directing me there to purchase it
I can plainly see that Zendrui is a respected member , is genuine and has a great product ... never said or implied otherwise ...why would I have tried to buy it if I didn't think so ? I also beg to differ , the site doesn't look obviously fake to me , if that makes me naive then so be it
I'd still like to hear from Zendrui himself if he sees this if possible please
Any unintended slur apologised for , but truly no intention
i don't think iggy's remark was for the first guest, more likely for the second

Question abouu rooted Samsung Galaxy S3

Hi guys i just converted from ios to android lol. I was wondering if there is a site where i can download cracked apps like a similar site apptracker. is there also a guide to install these cracked app?
From the rules:
6. Do not post warez.
If a piece of software requires you to pay to use it, either pay or find your cracks and serials somewhere else. We do not accept warez nor do we permit any member to promote or describe ways in which Warez, cracks, serial codes or other means of avoiding payment, can be obtained.

As said theft of apps postings are banned on XDA .
You are stealing in many cases from fellow XDA members .

Hi guys im really sorry about this. This wont happen again. also i just have one more question though when I rooted I used odin 1.85 and followed the guide and used CF-Root-SGS3-v6.3.tar but when i opened CMW it says i have a lower firmware version. Im really confused on how this is a lower version when i used 6.3.

Requesting of warez is against XDA rules.

Request download link via E-Mail? Are you kidding us?
you want to get my email address in front of downloading your rom??
Forget it! I like my privacy!
BTW:
i use YODA rom v9 &MoDaCo kernel together now and this combination will have nearly the same features as your rom. So it is not necessary for me to change.
Why do you want to reinvent the wheel again?

I'm not joking at all. I use Mega for the cloud. Read well the rules of Mega and you'll understand

Nobody forces you to change but Yoga is a B330 and you can upgrade when version 10 will be released This is a B370.
@devilz-wolit then why don't you use AFH, Google drive or mediafire?
I mean; usually every dev wants his ROM to be popular. If every user has to ask for a link... that does not help I guess.

The legal rules imposed by Mega is also true for the other cloud. Mega offers 50Gb free. Others much less. Each version of the Rom has approximately 2GB and after 10 updates on other cloud would not have more space. Also I work three devices so the free space I need is really a lot. And then I do not think costs nothing to ask the download link ... and popularity is not one of my needs.
No matter what you say, asking for a download link via e-mail sucks.

No one is forcing anyone.
I do not see what the problem is to ask for the link, more than 40 users have already done so and were satisfied.
Also nothing is due to anyone.

As a member of XDA, all you have to do is ask for developer access from AFH. @rwilco12 is the liaison for the site, and I have yet to see a size restriction on how much storage you can have, for free.
That being said, no registration of any kind is permitted for downloads, as per the rules.
11. Don’t post with the intention of selling something.
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.
Do not post press releases, announcements, links to trial software or commercial services, unless you’re posting an exclusive release for XDA-Developers.com.
Encouraging members to participate in forum activities on other phone related sites is prohibited.
Off-site downloads are permitted if the site is non-commercial and does not require registration.

A) The site belongs to a member of XDA-Developers with at least 1500 posts and 2 years membership, who actively maintains an XDA-Developers support thread(s) / posts, related to the download.

You cannot require users to provide email addresses for download.
Also, you're in violation of Rule 6:

We do not accept warez nor do we permit members to request, post, promote or describe ways in which warez, cracks, serial codes or other means of avoiding payment, can be obtained or used.

com.estrongs.android.pop.pro is a paid software, not to be distributed.
This thread is closed and links removed until such a time that the software is removed and your download methods no longer require user registration in the form of requests via email.

REPORT !!

This guy use shortcut link at his blog. Like lineageOS, kudkernel, RR. Pls tell the dev
Blog : zhafron.ga
I never think this thread will be exist just for a user that re-post (and masking) links available on XDA threads with pay-per-click links for his own blog. The blog is from the banned guy @zhafron, which later comeback as @zhafron123. Anyway, I appreciate it.
For KudKernel, I've warned him to stop using pay-per-click links to mask download links and provide them "as is", at his blog, using my identity.
For my unpublished XOS build, I nuked it from my AndroidFileHost account instead, since I never think to release it here due to some problems ahead.
As well, he sent me an apology via PM in Indonesian (which I don't read for now). So...what happens next? Dunno. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
EDIT:
Apparently, the new account is also banned.
Deleted reason (not like a moderator can't see the history anyways)
Closed at OP's request.
