? Other forums for android - Off-topic

I'm about to be switching phones from winmo to android. I was wondering what other sites y'all used for research, tips, ect. Other sites like wmpoweruser,ppcgeeks and fuzemobility for android. Something with lots of app reviews, wallpapers, tip & tricks, would be nice.

XDA.... Engadget... The Nexus One forum on the google website... androidcentral... yada yada... you'll find places when you google something specific

Yes I know giyf. But if you look in the yellow pages for coffee houses, you'll find a ton of places, but won't know anything about them. If you ask a freind where to get a good cup, he'll tell you about a couple places and maybe a speciallty drink they have.
I found xda way back when I was just googling fuze tips and tricks. Not wanting to unlock, hack, flash my phone, just personalize it and make it cooler than it was already. What I mostly found were review sites linking to here for mods and roms, not what I was looking for. After searching around for a couple months, finally found a couple sites I liked.
I was just trying to save some time and ask what sites a friend would like.

Ha, that's what I'm saying. People here work harder than any other dev site. Honestly, most ROMs originate here. (Well for G1, never had the pleasure to use this site for any other phone.) Really, if you go anywhere else it's going to be a mostly repacked ROM based off of one here. :/ Let him go, though. One less unthankful idiot we have to deal with.
Oh yea, you own a Google phone. Why don't you learn how to google? I agree. You need to get an iPhone.
@wcdisciple:
Most ROMS, apks, gscripts, and hacks will likely be found by perusing the Android related forums specific to your device or Android Chef Central.
Additionally, there are a few additional Android hacking sites ... a quick search using Google or other web search engines should yield some hits.

Add a forum section for people who need help tips or have problems with their gadgets.. ohh wait, that's what xda is for also, add it to taptalk, I'll try it then
Another thing 'unlocking cool badges after gaining point'- for motivation to get the best one, to make it competetive? Don't think that older people would be intrested, and I am only 16. But you know, everyone has their own 2 pence to add there are more opinions out there.

Sweet site desing man! Looks great! Honestly! I think I'll check it out a bit more now...
Edit: Ok I've had a good look around so I'm ready to offer feedback firstly, the site design if clean and simple! Great! Keep that UI consistent across the whole site and it will be a winner. I'm finding Facebook too cluttered, and this is simple and elegant!
This will really work well as a concept if it takes off, so you need as many users as possible. I'll help out by tipping some of those sites. Other readers here on XDA, if you like the idea, I suggest you do the same This could be really handy when buying new gadgets, and maybe even save all these experience threads on XDA.
It needs re organization and more information but congrats on your efforts

Thanks for helping us out in spreading the word to promote our site. We really appreciate it. I love the idea and will do the same as you suggested

Thank you and we really appreciate it. Can you elaborate on the re-organization so we can improve the site. Once the site is on beta you can view more information but for the meantime we are getting feedbacks to improve before we officially launch it. We also have a video you can watch for the overview of the site. We'll keep you posted once the site is on beta.

making an "android" bible

I was Thinking about making a website that included all ROM/KERNELS/MODS/MODEMS/THEMES/BOOT-ANIM....
but to have it set up to multiple phones, the ultimate android bible. it would have a different section for each phone. and each ROM etc. would show the original post from the OP from xda, and then if they like it, they can click the link to go back to xda and download
i know i would already be able to do it for the vibrant (my phone)
but i was just curious if anybody else would be interested in doing this for the captivate..
it would have to be updated EVERYDAY, just like my VIBRANT BIBLE seen here
check it out, and if you think you can update daily with everything like i do, pm me and let me know. ( you dont have to organize it, i will have the website already organized and ready to go, all you have to do is post the ROMs etc. on it
EDIT: i am not advertising another website. i will not be drawing xda members away from xda, it will be just like a shortcut website leading to xda
There is already a site like this, its called XDA?
Lol hardcore

I suppose you have a point, but that seems like A LOT of work on your end updating it everyday for all the phones just to make it slightly easier for lazier people. I mean if you want to make your phone super awesome but don't want to do a little searching and research do you really deserve it??
I am completely self taught from reading xda, and I can do anything short of actual dev work, and I like that.
Not flaming at all, just kind of expressing an opinion.

well my main intension of making it IS to make it easier, but i wasnt planning on updating ALL the phones, i was going to try to find other people for different phones, so it wont make it any harder on me, i would just have to update the vibrant section (like im already doing, with my bible)... i expect very little income from it too, and all of it would be given to the people who are updating their phone sections

Don't take this the wrong way, but creating a website for the Thunderbolt right now is like showing up late to a party with a 12 pack of Bud Light. Everyone will be happy you came, but you didn't bring anything that wasn't already there. Now, if you show up with a bottle of Single Barrel Jack Daniel's, you will be the shiznit at the party. So, if you can, please try to bring something different to your website. With that said, I'll be sure to keep checking on your site, it's always nice to have more people at the party.
COMING SOON!!!!!!!

To be honest, I love this idea. It's kind of hard to find updated roms and mods for any phone, not to mention the Thunderbolt. BeardedMan... Why is making a website like this, which will (hopefully) be a good hub for Thunderbolt mods and roms, getting "late to the party?" Is there another website out there like this, besides the android forms or Rom Manager? If there is, I'd like to know.
frankzua77, I would like to say thank you. If this website becomes what I think it will, it will make modding the Thunderbolt so much easier. If you need any help, just let me know.
I think the problem beardedman is referencing is the fact that there are a lot of android websites/forums already (even thunderbolt specific) and that there are a lot of much newer phones getting the attention. I have yet to not find anything I'm looking for without a 10 second search on Google. And the Thunderbolt is real close to being yesterday's superphone, if it's not already.
Plus, the problem with any of these sites is someone has to maintain it...which means sifting through posts, updating daily, etc. Unless it's a wiki that anyone can update, it's the same reason that the stickies all get outdated. Heck, it's the same reason I've started threads on many forums for many topics trying to compile information and eventually given up.
Now that I've rained on the parade and come off as a prick, I do applaud the effort...even if it doesn't stay updated or become the hub you imagine, at least you have an idea and a passion and are trying to do something about it. Don't lose that. And who knows...maybe it's just what the community needs

I have a "Thunderbolt" folder in my Bookmarks (just like I used to with my Incredible) that I have the five links in. I can open all the links and catch up with all the newest Thunderbolt news, for the most part. And the Thunderbolt is old news actually, just being honest.
TUDrewser understood what I meant, I wasn't being rude. ThunderNet, trying checking the above sites, I bet you'll find answers to whatever questions you have.

Please see my sig..
Users can submit a MOD, Downlad mods or whatever right from the web.
Still a WIP, but just needs attention.
Not knocking this idea at all, but should really consider opening it up to a wiki format and not center only on the thunderbolt.
!
I really appreciate everyone that makes their point, I am currently working on the page. One of my goals is to have videos that can show you a ROM even before you consider downloading it. I know we are focusing on the tbolt, who knows maybe later on this expands to having other phones and stuff...
I need your help on deciding on a domain name! Right now im using a free domain service but I would like to purchase a domain, any ideas???
Also please click on the ads on the bottom as this is how the site will be funded for right now.

Looking for some tech/game/car type forums

I'm looking for some tech/game/car type forums to browse at work during downtime.
Tapatalk forums would be nice.
What are your favorite forums besides xda and anandtech?
For example, I wish blizzard and mmochampion had tapatalk forums.
Have you browsed the forums available in Tapatalk? Just go to the network tab when you start it and have a look what's on there.
Yeah, but there is so much to sort through, was hoping to find some good forums known by like minded people on xda
Ik a forum

One of my friends runs a general tech forum called techdigy . com.
I should just warn you though that the forum is pretty much dead atm but you never know where it might be in a few months.
As far as I know, pretty much all the forums on tapatalk suck. Only good one IMO is XDA and Android Central, the rest are just some bizarre and less active noob forums.
There is a couple decent car forums though.
Most of the good forums you can browser are probably Spanish or French(most of the interesting car forums), so that's another problem. I just recommend using web browser...
