Hey All,
Need a little help with something. One of the News Writers pointed out that all (or most) of the themes in this forum are for HVGA resolution Android devices, is this true? If yes, perhaps we should rename this forum to inform people of this, so that those with WVGA screen'ed devices don't try to install these themes?
Thanks in advance for your helpf

i agree and support the name change
I like the idea of utilizing the "Themes" section of each devices sub-forum more and keeping this for generic themes able to be used on all devices (Like themes to third-party launchers). I would however, link devices themes sections into one (Have the Magic section redirect to the Dream section).
Android Themes (the way we do them) are always rom-dependand (except some application metamorphs) cause of android framework changes, so they rarely work on different devices.
This forum is wrong pointing to a "generic android", the same way other devices forums mix "themes and apps" cause they are completely different things...
This forum can still be called "Android Themes" just setup sub-forums that are hyperlinks to each phones Themes forum. They already exist and it would require minimal work. This would allow people to browse this section for general stuff, for app themes, etc. and then allow people to also click the sub-forum link and go directly to their phones Theme section, which would easily keep phone specific roms and themes self-contained, removing any possible confusion.
I think something about this forum should be changed. It is very disorganized.

What he said lol.
I personally liked it the way it used to be. I just had my Dream/G1 section bookmarked and there was a theme section underneath it that had all of the Dream themes. I really have no idea why they changed it to be on the main forum page. The themes are normally Rom specific (which are device specific) so each device having its own theme section only makes sense. I think this whole section should be deleted. I guess you could just hyperlink those sections depending on what phone you have but that's just extra work that's not really needed.
Annoy the hell outta me. I like to wander the forums, but lately its a ***** trying to find development threads since they are all moved around. Now we have Nexus 3G and 4G ROMs that are similar other than model numbers all being moved to the General forum. Cyanogenmod Kangs, Miui ports, Bugless Beast. This is confusing as hell.
So maybe these aren't meeting the developement criteria to stay within sub-forum. But maybe its time to reconsider rules of the forums. For someone new jumping into these threads, this General Forum looks like ass. I can't even count how many ICS ROMs there are, and then have to I have to put my Sherlock Holmes hat on and investigate which one is for my device.
I know I can bookmark threads, and save favorites. But I like seeing buzz in the development forums by seeing what stays bumped. Can't really do that in the general.
Just my 2 pennies on all this moderator power tripping BS going on here.

I agree. I've sent messages to other mods and the only response i get is that they will look into it. It is definitely an unnecessary move on the mods part, but what can we do. Look for this thread to be locked also before too long, because it probably will be, your not allowed to express your opinion in the general section now either. I wish we could get more developers over on Rootzwiki. I don't see this happening on all of the other forums either.
Sent from my super sleek NS4G
Agree...
I couldn't agree more. I made a thread in the General Section, the main General section, not for any particular device. The thread was "Show your ICS home screens". I said in the thread, "Here's my current setup on NS4G". So they moved the thread to Nexus s general. then another modderator moved it again. I gave up.
Devs come on to post thir work, they can't post in certain forums or post links until they have posted X amount of times. I get the idea, but it's stupid! I can open a new user acct, go to the iphone section post 10 posts totally unreleated to android, then come back to the Android section, & like magic, I'm qualified to post in the dev threads.
Another thing is the mods pissing off the devs. A development forum without developers posting to it won't stand long.
I can't believe this thread isn't already closed...
I also agree with everything that was said. Another issue that chaps my ass is the retards running rampant in development threads. Shame that the knowledgeable, skilled developers are treated like dogs while idiots who can't even make a phone call are allowed to clog up threads and curse at people who try to help them.
This forum has very quickly become unbearable to frequent. I know it's a free world and I'm free to post elsewhere, but what drew me to xda was its reputation as a true developer's site. Very sad to see what it's become.

Ya, I also agree. It's a mess around here. This site was always my first stop in the morning. Now I hit Rootz Wiki and a few others.
And the General forum. Sheesh!
Agreed. With everything said here. This place is a cluster***.

The best way to search threads is to go to google....
Then type what you want and at the end of your search criteria;
Type "xda"
This will pull the thread you need right up.
Hope this helps.
I have to agree as well. I don't know how the other phone sections are looking, but the Nexus S section is way too messy, not to mention the fact that 2 of the best Roms (GPA19 and Oxygen) are not even on this site. You gotta ask why the good developers are not on this site anymore. Yet Drew Garen's crap is everywhere. I have been using this site for over 4 years and this is the worst it has ever been. Something needs to change, and quickly.
*UPDATE* Jesus, as I was typing this the thread was moved. This is exactly what we are talking about here. Quit doing this stupid ****.
I guess I'm the only one here that thinks you basically need to learn how to use the forums, rather than expect them to suit your ideal. There's a few million other members to consider.

Listen you guys...if you seem to have an issue with anything on this site and have already contacted "The Mods" and have not been replied properly..contact the Administrators with your concerns instead of opening yet another "Boo-hoo..I hate this site and everything it stands for but I'ma continue to download anyway" thread.
Thread closed because I felt the need to do so and to flex my Mod muscles....Ta-ta

Dear Admin and Mods ,
Thank You for you great time and effort in keeping XDA at the top.
However , I and may be many users feel that the Development Section of the Galaxy Note forum is too cluttered . It takes a lot of time to find the appropriate thread of any specific Kernel , ROM etc... I know we can Bookmark the required section , but that is very impractical if there are many sections that we follow.
The re-arrangement should be on basis of separation of threads into Categories like Kernels , ROM's , Mods , and likewise.
I sincerely hope that you will consider my suggestion.
I hope other guys who feel the same , should make a request here.
I really support this plea!
+1 especially different section for ICS and GB
+1 very good idea
What most device sub sections have when there is alot of development is a index thread with a member who will basiclly keep a index of everything so you can easily find the threads, I was thinking about doing this myself but not sure if I have the time to keep that and the torrent list maintained
+1 !
It would actually make everything less hectic and those in panic will have some less headache !
To start thread in dev section should have some strict rule.
And just like 'spam', reporting option shud have 'move' option, so it will be easy for mod also. N helps in keeping dev sec clean.

I support this wholeheartedly. I'd suggest a minimum of 100 posts in the Note forum - not someplace else - before being able to start a thread in Dev. I emphasized 'not someplace else' because we've seen people with lots of posts and thanks to their credit starting ridiculous threads in Dev - they obviously got their credentials in some other XDA forum. One was even a recognized developer.

Mods have tools for moving stuff about/deleting threads at their disposal, and I don't think they actually need our help in doing that.

Same here.. I almost created it and I thought twice before posting it..that can I maintain it??? So I made a U-turn. This really need some dedication to monitor the thread. I doubt I could do that.

Yeah. Chilled Beer for you mate.
There is galaxy note wiki by original_ganjaman in general section which contains everything related to SGNote.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Note/GT-N7000
I do not think dev section is cluttered.
Can't find something you want ? - Have it bookmarked or theres good old 'search'.
Even searching on google 'XDA Galaxy Note Rocket Rom' will give you the results you want.
+1 Great idea :thumbup:

So lately, i saw the galaxy fit owners having a Q/A section in their forums.
First of all i want to congratulate them on that behalf.
So i read somewhere that if a device's general section forum reaches 1000 threads or 10000 posts limit, that device forum earn itself a separate q/a section.
The eligibility if true it is, we should also contact mods for the q/a section as the spam count in general section is filling with each passing day.

Anything non-urgent or non important thing shuld go here

Any thing which doesn't belong to themes and apps, dev, nor q/a should only be posted in general section.
Rest in their respective sections.
But first the question of the subject is "is our sgm forum eligible for this facility?" .

Well seems this post was buried deep under.
I already contacted sixstring regarding this..he said Q/A are added upon request.
I'll ask him again.
Whatever it is, i think this addon would greatly be appreciated by all.
considering all the spam count regarding inquiries in general section.
Also our section needs some cleaning in dev thread. Wondering where our mod is.

Hey, you didn't read the O.P. post carefully , did you?
where is the full threads list for all phones? i am not able to find it.
On other forums where is always a folder, subfolder system.... but in this site i always see shortcuts for the most known terminals, but i cannot find the COMPLETE LIST of each phone's thread
Are you looking for any specific brand?
no. i just would see a list of phones which deserved having an xda thread
sorry but i need a response
it is IMPOSSIBLE that on this site isn't possible to see a full list of official threads about every phone.
for example, i have redmi note 3 pro and i MUST find the room googling it........................ i would see a list of all rooms available of every phone.

Why tho?
I'd rather hit the SEARCH Button and type whatever the phone / Topics I want and go through the specific device sections.
It's easy you know, you need not to Google for every device, just hit the search button and type the device name, it'll show up the results, then go through em'....
If you want all device's official threads in an xda thread, then it's impossible!! Impossibru!!
There are 10000xxxxxx Amount of threads here! :silly:
This is the list of all devices on xda with their own section, https://forum.xda-developers.com/all
As far as a list of all threads, there are 3,098,531 threads on xda as of right now. If you would like to create a list of all those threads, you are welcome to. As I said in your other thread about this, members create the content on xda, so you can create a list if you wish! :good:
Or just a list of all roms for all devices, that would probably only be around 500,000 threads. You could create that too.
Thread closed now, as it's been answered fully.
