... or The X Box in this case?
So I made you guys an app...

I’m working on a generic app that anyone on XDA can use in their custom ROMs, but for the first version I wanted to make it for you guys on the Wicked X ROM.
The Box is a very simple, clean, small app with two purposes:
(1)launch a javascript-enabled webview directly to the download location of the developer’s ROM files (i.e. AFH or whatever). This happens within
The Box and allows you to download via your browser.
(2)launch the XDA thread for the ROM also within the app in a webview. Depending on your personal application defaults, you can set this to redirect to Tapatalk or other forum app on click as well.
Main benefits:
-The developer can just use a useful file structure wherever they upload files to share, and not have to keep linking to new mods and other downloads every time. Users can just look there for new stuff.
-This can be done without subscribing to any sort of service – just use the same place you’ve been using. This just adds convenience.
-No ads, no costs
-Very lightweight and simple. Things like a splash screen just make everyone wait three seconds for no good reason.
I hope you like it. I'll be making a generic version with tutorial to post in the Android apps section on xda for any custom ROM dev to use. I made my best guesses for the details for this ROM. Feel free to decompile, theme, whatever. The Wicked X custom icon I made up for The Box is in the attachment...
