Hey its high time that XDA had an official community on networking sites..!!!
It becomes easy for the COOKs to communicate & also any prob's can be solved with much ease I guess..!!!
What's wrong with a forum?
Forgive me for saying so, but why is everybody so eager to expand xda to every different medium on the internet?
What's wrong with a forum? We've also got a wiki (albeit, the worst wiki software I've seen). For group chat there's also at least an IRC server that I know I've read about (never checked it out myself). Besides actual development-oriented tools (bug tracker, version control system, etc) what more do we need?
well i think there is one community on orkut for xda dont think thats official.
most of the discussions there are childish
and i guess orkut is preferred mostly in india (i also use it) and brazil
its not universal
maybe facebook can be an option
but still i personally prefer xda forums
its not that bad to have discussions chats etc
i dont think there is anything wrong here why should we go anywhere when we can do all that stuff on xda itself
just my personal opinion though
sorry if it is harsh

Here's the XDA-DEVELOPERS Kaiser Wiki.
It's VERY nice; make sure you search it first for ANYTHING Kaiser-related.
Here's the XDA-DEVELOPERS GENERIC Wiki.
It contains generic info - not only Kaiser-related questions. You will want to read it first if you for example look for a software. Of particular interest are Menneisyys' articles, Bibles and tutorials in the half of the page - you'll definitely want to check them out if you have a generic software / gaming / application / hacking-related question.

The site has running costs and donations are needed to pay the costs. Donations to XDA-Dev can be made by clicking on the Donate button on the brown bar near the top of the page. (Same bar that has the User CP, Search and Log out buttons.) But here's a link anyway: http://forum.xda-developers.com/donations.php
Any donations to individual members are entirely up to you. The principle we have is that members do not act for financial reward. If however a member makes an outstanding contribution or if you think they could do more but perhaps due to lack of equipment they can't - then you might make a donation to an individual

Is it possible for the [search forum]/[search this thread]/[search wiki] buttons on this site to be linked to google directly instead of the current situation?
I would hazard a guess that most folks are searching for older threads to check for answers to their (duplicate) questions and such, users should be able to see newer posts without searching at all.
Thanks
I know the site Admin has been working on the search functions in the hunt for improvements to be made. This I think is on-going but perhaps we'll get an update in a couple of days.

The problem is that is an absolutely mammoth task. There are thousans of threads and tens of thousands of posts. It is also complicated as the posts are often inter-related and deleting one leaves others hanging and not making much sense.
The idea is that the WIKI is the place for confirmed answers and tested solutions. Every member has a duty I believe, to spot things in the forums that have reached a sensible answer to problems and then go and create a section in the WIKI that cuts out all the chit chat and offers the edited solution in a neat condensed form. So yes, some forums do end up messy, but they are the talking shop, the WIKI is intended to be the tidy area for concise answers/solutions.
Not enough members take on this responsibility - the Mods are volunteers and there is only one day to day Admin. The Mods are generally kept busy with reported posts and squabbles of one sort or another and spotting the odd thing as they browse.
So if folk have a particular interest in a certain area, or have followed a problem from start to final answer, then get to grips with the WIKI and add a section that gives the refined solution.

Ahhh the happy ventings of an angry scotsman
I saw two n00bs helping each other earlier on today. It made me all warm and fuzzy inside lol
Moderators, please feel free to move this to another forum if it doesn't fit here.
There are currently no Usenet groups for Android software or supported trans-coded video files. There are advantages to hosting these files on Usenet, rather than on this, or other websites. Please PM me if you would like to hear my opinion. I will not discuss this openly.
I would like to propose one be created, but actual new group additions to Usenet are a pain in the rear and require a community backing.
Is anyone else here familiar with the process?
I have never added a group myself, but I have worked for a Usenet provider and know that it is not a simple process. It would require a proposal in the alt.control newsgroup, as well as a discussion and justification of the group between supporters and the ISC (www.isc.org). For this, we need people to speak up and support our group in the alt.control newsgroup.
Notice how I say OUR group. I propose the group be un-moderated, because suggesting a moderated group requires a lot more organization, time, and discussion before the ISC will consider the addition.
Again, if anyone has actually undergone the addition of a new group, please speak up. If no one has, but people are interested, I will try to work with Usenet assistance groups on getting a group added.
Thoughts?
I'd be surprised if a quarter of this forum knows what a newsgroup is.

Ahh, well if there is not a community interest, I won't pursue it. In my opinion, the brightest people use this site, so I'm only posting here.
I guess then, I am one of the 25%. I gave up on usenet years ago when the content to spam ratio got too bad.
I still grin when I think of alt.barney.die.die.die
I guess it all depends on what exactly the OP wants out of a newsgroup. These days most interest groups / communities on the internet form around http-based services like forums and bulletin boards. There are also hybrid http/email mailing list type things. Generally the whole of the Android community is well served by these tools already. Between the various fansites (phandroid, androidguys, etc), the Google android-discuss groups, xda-dev, and #[email protected], I think there are plenty of points on the internet as-is for all comers alike.
Of course, then theres the modern-day usage of usenet, which is not so much discussion-centric rather than a no-holds-barred haven for digital piracy and pretty much every kind of porn under the sky.
I seem to be having a lot of email discussions recently between groups of people. Having such discussions over email obviously has some big disadvantages compared to discussion forums.
What I need is a website that will allow me to create an ad-hoc discussion topic and limit it to a closed group of people. Ideally this will be achieved by having an obscure URL to the topic such that people do not need to register and its simply a case of sharing the URL (similar to how you can share private YouTube videos or Picasa albums).
Does anyone have any suggestions for this?

Yeah. But the service is still in Beta. From the track record of the company though, it'll never leave BETA.
It's called Google+

Thanks for the links but I'm not sure why this is different from any other forum site. It doesn't appear to allow me to setup a private discussion topic. Have I missed something on those sites?
XDA is forum for Custom ROMs, Discussion, Troubleshooting, etc.
From sometime Thread OP are creating a Telegram group to discuss bugs, troubleshooting and other things, and posting the Links in OP then what is meaning of creating threads on XDA. Why XDA mods are allowing these threads. My personal opinion is all the discussions regarding the ROM or Kernel should go on thread not on other platforms.
What do other XDA members think. Share your views here to stop these practice's.

I understand what your referring to as I've seen this as well from time to time...
I had thought that there was an XDA Forum Rule(s) that restricts the sole use of the Telegram on the forum (I believe that there's more to this rule as well)
The choice of one of the following threads is probably your best bet for providing this type of feedback.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1976627
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987254
Only a Moderator/Administrator (like @MikeChannon or @Darth for example) can really provide a clear outline/understanding for this rule.
Good Luck!

There's this we put out not long ago, https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/telegram-chat-channels-forward-t3764521
Basically, no TG links should be anywhere on xda, except in post number one of a development thread, only. We realize devs may want some quick communication with members for some issues, and real time chat is obviously quick.
But no links to TG should be anywhere else on xda. :good:
Just hit report if you see links outside of the first post in a dev thread, and mods will handle it.

Thank you very much for your time with providing this valuable guidance!
Now I know more about the XDA Policy regarding this specific topic.
I am not a big fan of the Telegram being used as a primary means of support for a development and such that's posted on the Forum but, I felt that it could be an alternative tool in addition to active support on the said Developmental Thread posted.
Just my personal thoughts... :thumbup:

Exactly! One TG link in a dev thread op is supposed to be an optional way of communicating. Definitely never the only way. If it's found that a OP is only supporting, discussing or updating on Telegram, the thread would likely be closed if its discovered to be this way. :good:

Thank you for clearing this up.
Sometimes some user post a bug or need troubleshooting, other user guide him/her to a Telegram group for that specific thing and do not discuss it inside thread. This should not be permitted.
I think there should be strict rule regarding what is permitted to discuss outside the thread.

Just my opinion on this (and from what I understand regarding the XDA Rules)...
I believe that there can be certain circumstances with providing guidance via Telegram but, it shouldn't be the sole option for the member.
As a member myself, I actually don't use Telegram but, I have used it previously under certain circumstances that are very seldom if that.
As a developer myself, sometimes there's support/guidance that is preferred to be taken offline and, if needed, the results would be determined to be of value to other members within the thread or something that didn't.
I do personally prefer to keep most conversations on the thread as something beneficial to other members but, there has been occasions that I'd prefer to take it offline to prevent misunderstandings and confusion.
I hope that I had stated the above okay via text... :thumbup:
I did notice that this discussion was also continued elsewhere, and even responded to by @the_scotsman and @Weapon X as well...

I understand the want for this but lets all really be honest. Development and support has been moved off XDA for years. A forum setup just doesnt really benefit the fast paced nature of currant development. Even back when I made roms for the old Galaxy S1 the team would do all development off site. Mostly because it was a faster response time. XDA has become a staging ground for roms while everything development and learning are done in chats. Like The most popular telegram or whats app and I hear some are even using discord (not sure about that last one as it seems out of place on a gaming messaging platform but hey)
As for the rule about the link only being in the OP. Well they have been getting around that by sending PM with the links or just flat out posting the links. No one reports it so no mods see it unless they stumble upon it.
If XDA wants to remain somewhere other then a place to post rom links thy might want to figure out that IM style messaging setup sooner or later.
Darth I can tell you that thererare many roms that are only updating on telegram and only offer support there as well. Everything posted here is just the "stable" versions if you know what I mean. Long has XDA been being used as a traffic grab by many.
Just my 2cents.
Is Custom ROM safe to install in smartphones? because most of the custom ROM's soft brick the phone.
I joined trb telegram gp and was totally amazed with the charging speed 2000-2100ma consistent at any temp. Then after a while noticed temp rises to whoping 47-48C contantly. Then I compared trb to pbh in the group in this good manner
Trb= Fast charging with 47C temp
Any other kernal= Ok charge speed with temp 43C max(in pb*). The trade off are equivalent trb not so gr8 as I thought.. Then a member told bb is not good then i shared charging speed of pbh in response to an admin telling pbh is bad(yes an admin talked and continue chat about pbh after all he is admin) vai screenshot and got fban immediately yes just shared the pic and after that fban from the group no warning no rules at all. Once in PE I was using no username so the admin warned me twice and third time they gave me 5 min. See the difference totally baised community even trb is closed sourced that's why thier thread is closed. And their every download link has tons and tons of ads.
BTW my thanks meter is just 1 cuz never asked anyone
TRB CLOSED THREAD LINK go and see what moderate reason were for closer https://forum.xda-developers.com/asus-zenfone-max-pro-m1/development/kernel-theragingbeast-derpgang-t3862835/page6
They were redirecting to telegram gp so that they can monetize vai their ****ty download links
XDA is not a place to discuss about Telegram groups, whether the group is good, or bad.
Okay
1. Why dont u ask other kernel cookers to get such speed
2. So when u r noob lemme tell asus P blobs are also responsible for heat, so go and complain about it to asus
3. When u share ss of our group u may need to provide proof of other kernels too. Common sense
4. Our thread was closed by mods because we didn't provide source because it was reported by so called m1 devs. So when u r not aware of such things dont try to get involved.
5. You are not forced to use this or that kernel infact roms too. No need to post such useless **** like this on xda platform.
6. Urs concerns barely effect us because we work based on our satisfaction not yours.
7. Try to learn about kernel before placing such useless **** like battery performance. We gave freedom to users to set what they want
8. Finally u say above ton community biased ??? I left to ur wisdom this one.
Thanks
Don't bring outside matters into XDA.
1. This is not the right platform to discuss this.
2. Never compare any ROM/Kernel... Developers make things according to their liking and they do not get paid for this.
Dude xda is xda and telegram is telegram.
Don't ever refer other platforms for issues here.
Also did you pay the developer to build a specific piece of software for you? If you didn't then you can't complain what they give you for free. If you use their software then thank them for giving their services for free.
Also no two developers are same TRB Developers can make their kernel as they want they did not came to you, you used their product for free.
If you like Pbh then be happy and don't compare kernels and roms each have their own set of modifications and features.
If you face a issue with any software which is free to you, you can only suggest the developer hoping it gets fixed. You can not demand anything from them according to your likings.
If you want everything you want hire developers and then you can have whatever you want. But if you use free stuff be grateful and thankful.
You bought the device from Asus and paid them go and complain to their devs don't cry on xda and telegram.
Hope this clears things up and teaches you what android developers do for you.
