I humbly suggest that all Devs who are making apps or games that are NOT device specific move their discussions/threads to the following forums:
XDA Android Applications and Games
Then we can allow much of the clutter on the Dream forum for just Dream specific software.
This forum, since it was the first on this site, is being used by a majority of devs (and, others) to develop/discuss many issues/items NOT specific to the HTC Dream.
I would believe that anyone who created a thread and wished it to be moved could have it done so by making a request to a moderator.
Let me know what you think.
ALSO, there is a general xda forum now for Android Themes:
XDA Android Themes
And, one for Android Software:
XDA Android Software

Hey everyone,
I have been a member here for a little over a year and the wealth of info on this forum is incredible. I would like to give all you MotoCliq owners the opportunity to also have a forum similar to XDA for all your MotoAndroid needs.
So me and a few of the others from here put together MotoAndroid.info
Come on my and discuss the MotoAndroid Devices
To all XDA Developers, feel free to come by and promote your Android apps, and discuss roms, and dev for the Moto Cliq, Dex and Droid.
(Hopefully this will help you guys keep this forum HTC based)
Thanks

Wow thats a gr8 idea, my brother just bought a droid and wants me to "pimp" it for him so i'll have to check ur site owt
All of these new Android-based threads can get confusing to keep track of and/or even 'lost' among all the WinMo ROM development threads. I think an Android Sub-forum would be nice.. what about you?
Android Threads:
[ROM/BOUNTY] Rhodium Android Port [$1125/$2435] - Early builds in post #3 [12/24]
Poll: Android Port to HTC Touch Pro 2
[ANDROID2.0.1] Rhodium versions
[Resources]Haret Ported Android 1.6 Donut Version for Rhodium(Milestones)
I just feel if we don't do this there will be many off topic threads started asking what android is or questions about the android port. A new Sub-forum would keep this area clear of that.... Plus you'd have a one stop location to keep up with just android, if you've eventually dropped window mobile and stuck with androidd (hoping that android becomes that stable).
Agreed
Agreed. Please create an Android subforum.
No theres only one thread worth reading (out of about 5), the bounty thread.
If you cant keep up with it in the rom development forum, what is the chance of you finding it in a sub forum clogged with other android forums.
I think you'd be ebtter of with the main thread stickied rather then a new sub forum.
There are now some sections specially for Android
Anyway better to ask Mods on this special thread so they are aware of your request:

All 2 of them? It should be under apps just like games, emulators and addons..
I haven't found it particularly hard to keep track of, but think it would be better if a Rhodium Android sub forum was created alongside Rhodium Rom Development.
I think the Rhodium ROM Development sub forum should really be for custom Windows Mobile ROMS, not questions about Android builds, issues and related.
A separate sub forum for Android on Rhodium would allow many threads relating to various issues of Rhodium Android development to be easily found rather than all Rhodium Android stuff being found somewhere in a big messy thread within the ROM Dev sub forum.
The poll currently shows the majority agreeing this is the way forward, we'll see what the mods think.
I will agree that right now it's not that big of a deal, but when this stuff starts working, there will be a bigger issue with keeping everything straight.
Yes please, will make everything more "neater" .
I vote Yes
I totally agree .........
(for now) i personally don't care for WM ROM modding, so for me to find a few android threads in a sea of WM is more difficult than it could be.
and I'm sure WM-only folks won't mind seeing 'offtopic' threads gone.
it'll be easier to start threads for different topics and not get buried in an avalanche of WM threads.
it cost admins nothing to create Android specific forums for us..
Ok!
Really good idea, I agree.

Rules For Devs</B>
You must only post beta, or completed APP releases. Projects and pre-beta releases should stay in the Software Development section so you can get input and help in the development process. When you have a beta, PM me and I will gladly move it here for you.
If you are planning to release your app as a paid app, there is a paid app section here.
You cannot post here if you have the intent to get more downloads, trying to advertise your app, or just to get publicity. IE, a corporation owned app that trolls forums like these just to gain more DL's, or a person that has no intent on using this forum to better their app(Just posting then leaving).
When you release you MUST follow the APP release template below to help users easily know what your app does, how it functions.
If you have any concern please, feel free to PM me any time. Please use the report button as well as I can instantly nuke any issues.
Any other XDA rules apply, such as with piracy, and such.
<B>
Rules for Non Devs</B>
You must not post a thread in this forum this is for app releases ONLY!, WP7 General is more suited for you.
When posting in a APP release thread, please don't fill the thread with "Thank You" posts and other nonsense. The occasional thank you post is fine, but if that is most of the posts in the thread, it is not allowed. Provide useful feedback towards the app or game to help the dev improve his app. It is at the dev's discretion so if I am requested to remove posts because they are useless or provide no feedback, I will have to if the request is true.
Please don't post requests or ideas in here, once again, this is for app releases ONLY! There is a thread in SW development that is specifically for that, and it is there for devs to get ideas.
Any thread that is not an app release, will be closed with out warning, there are Rules Stickied for a reason!
App Release Template - DEVs ONLY
Template for Posting APP Releases
Anything in red you have to have in your app release thread!
Turquoise is for optional and additional information.
Thread title:
[APP] {App Title goes here} -[R]- {Date posted} -- {Date Updated} -[V]- {Current Version}{If it is BETA please put BETA here}
R = Released, U = Updated, V = VersionThread post:
Name:{APP Name}:
{APP Description & relevant info}
{Images of app}
Source:(of app) You must list a source creator, even if you are reposting this from another place and you are the creator you must post a source, and if this is the source of the app link this thread.
Download Link:(If this is a place holder just say "Download link coming soon".)
NOTE: If your app is in XAP form, please make a big note when near the download link that it would have to be sideloaded or what ever different method appears to install XAPs.
DEVELOPERS WITH PAID APPS WITH TRIALS! - Please read this!
In the next few days, I will be moving your threads to the paid apps section. The reasoning is that apps and games sections are supposed to only have free apps, there is a designated paid app announcement section. This is not intended to rule certain devs out or scare devs into making free apps, its just for organizational purposes. The paid app section is only restricted to true developers, IE not companies just trying to make a buck, or someone just out for the money. The section there so devs can release their apps that cost money and cannot give their apps away for free.
So if your thread gets moved with in the next few days or hours or weeks, you will know why.
PS, if anyone would like to maintain a list of app releases of paid apps that can be found in the Paid Apps section, by all means go ahead , I will sticky it.
Hey guys,
I have been an observer on this forum since last 3 years. It has helped me a lot to get me through various issues of multiple phones I've used. And I sincerely thank the entire community for the same.
I own a HTC HD7 now. A WP7. Though there's not much into it right now as everyone awaits the Mango update, it's still getting popular day by day.
We do have a Windows Phone 7 sub-forum here on XDA, but it's mainly developer oriented. Hence, I feel there's a need to make a more consumer oriented forum for the same and that's just what I did.
This is a new forum I launched, exclusively for WP7 users.
I was hoping if any Windows Phone users here will be interested in getting me started with the forums and basic contents to not make it look so empty and hence, attract new visitors.
Do take a note that this is a non-commercial forum and I made this solely for help & support purposes.
And there is no intention to drive people away from this forum. XDA will always be the same huge XDA
So, you may straight away go there and post few helpful things for our new WP7 users. Or get in touch with me via PM or email if you have any suggestions.
Hoping to get positive feedbacks.
Regards,
Jugal
Sorry, no recruiting. Taken from Rule #11:
Encouraging members to participate in forum activities on other phone related sites is prohibited.
