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.

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.
It seems people still have no clue where to post what.
This subforum (Desire HD themes & Apps) is ONLY for posts about Themes and apps!
So, what are you allowed to post:
Themes / backgrounds / icons sets / etc.
Games / game development
Applications / application development Desire HD specific
What is NOT allowed (and will be deleted on sight):
specific ROM related posts
Posts about updates/bugfixes/add-ons for a specific ROM or Android release
Questions about app/game/theme for which already a thread exsists
Questions about ROMS
Of course, these are guidelines, we expect you to think for yourselves. If you don't know whether you should post or not, you probably shouldn't.
And last but not least: you can always ask your friendly neighbourhood mods!
Happy posting.
NeoS2007
I second this motion ......please follow this guidelines and follow the rules as you don't want to see your Mods mad....they turn ugly when they mad
Hi everybody!
I'm writing ICQ Messenger for WP7 now and have a VERY BIG ISSUE with it:
WP7 Silverlight does not support SOCKETs!!!
Does anybody know how to workaround this?
The only way I see is create a SERVICE on my home PC with static IP, that will be a link between WCF classes to communicate with WP7 Client and ICQ Server, that (to my mind) only supports Sockets...
Waiting for your comments and suggestions! ))

Post in correct sections.
General/Questions etc go in the "Q&A" forum
Developments go in the "Development" forum.
This forum is named "Windows Phone 7 Development"... Where should I post if not here?

Would be best to post in the "Q&A" forum or the apps forum. This is mainly for posting of dev work.
This forum is mainly for posting of work not general discussion as then we would get all sorts of topics created here and then we will have to soft through a load of crap just to find the devs posts.
maybe there should be a board section "winp7 coding". but for my understanding developers of tools for wp7 should ask their questions here in the dev section, like the rom-chefs do. like it says, it's about developing. maybe somebody has a tip for the op and can guide him to a nice coding community manly working with wp7.

Excellent point, this.
Purely based on OP's post, there's nothing HD2-related about the issue he/she's encountered.
Unless OP has a specific reason for keeping this in the HD2 section, this thread might be better off in the general "Windows Phone 7 Software Development" section. There's almost certainly more WP7 experts browsing there.
Exactly. This is in no way related to HD2 WP7 development so shouldn't be here.
@OP
don't give too much on those ppl *****in' around. try to open a thread in wp7 development or apps and games.
perhaps there you get real help. i appreciate your attempt to make a icq client =)
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.
Hi. I'm currently using redmi note 10, and I was wondering if there is a custom rom like iOS for my Android phone? If not then why??
I mean I have installed "Pixel Experience" on my phone but why there isn't an "iOS Experience". I know there are many folks who'd love something like that.
I've tried searching for it and found none, there are some iOS launchers on play Store but they're filled with bugs and ads.
Please reply, Thanks.
iOS Operating System is not open source, not like Android. It can be done, but it's hard, like .. you have to do a lot of redesigning.
That's something a large team can do. OEM company maybe. I don't think normal developers have enough passion to do that.
Also if someone did make iOS copy, they would face several law suits because it's not open source
