Should we rename this forum?

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.

Hi, fellow S4 Active users
Before starting a new thread, please read this OP.
Now as you may have noticed there are several questions flooding this sub-forum,
that have been asked a million times,
So let us all be a responsible "NEW USER" and not a "NOOB USER"
I know some of us are new and are not oriented properly on how you can maximize your time by using the almighty search button.​
SEARCH BUTTON!!???
Yes, that is correct, the search button...
.
.
No, it is not sorcery or magic,
It is a tool to help everyone out, that is the reason why XDA has spent money making a search engine for us to be more convenient in finding what we seek.
So let us not neglect what XDA has made and let's utilize this search engine,
it is not a benefit, it is a privilege,
For those who don't know how to use it, let me help you.​[IMAGE PENDING]
It is that highlighted spot, yeah, right there. Hey look, yup you found it in your own browser.​
So, tell me the benefits of this so called 'search button' ? I mean, I can just create a new thread and wait for someone to answer it!
Well,
You can find the answer to your questions faster, since not all senior members, RC's are available all the time and some won't even answer you because it has already been asked again.
You'll help other newbies by orienting them about the search button.
We'll have a clean and uniform forum, a perfect community which all of us can enjoy.
Mods will have less headaches deleting posts and threads that are considered useless.
No one will call you noob. (YAY!)
It will reduce arguments and flaming within the thread.
SO LETS KEEP THIS FORUM PROFESSIONAL,
UTILIZE THE SEARCH BUTTON

HOW TO MAKE A GOOD QUESTION...
Stupid as it may seem,
There is a good and bad question.
So, here are some tips.
NEVER EVER PANIC!
i know some of us are new and have no experience with android, and suddenly we did something wrong and ended up bricking our phone.
But please don't post:
"Please help my phone is brick, Im desperate!!!!, help me please, i dont know what to do!!!" (Dont ever do this!)
Do so, but do it in a proper manner:
Make sure you write every detail (about what you did before doing something wrong) and your phone bricked.
"Please help me, I tried to flash XYZ rom and when i tried to install it using recovery mode by Vol Up+Home+Power i get a successful install message, however when i turned on my phone it got stuck on bootloop, can u help me with this?, i tried download mode Vol Down+Home+Power and tried odin too but it does not work"
LIST OF ALREADY ASKED POINTLESS QUESTIONS
What is the best ROM?
What is the best kernel?
What is the best launcher?
What is the best apps for xxx?
Basically these are all dependent on the nature of the user, there is no best ROM, kernel, launcher, app since we all have our own preferences so its endlessly pointless to even make or ask threads.
How to get paid apps?
Paid Apps for Free are known as warez and you can't get it on XDA.
When will ROM/KERNEL XYZ be released?
Any rom/kernel release question should go to the development thread, also its rude to ask for ETA's (estimated time of arrival)
I saw that CM ** is released on XYZ is please make it work
NO, please look at the development thread to get into the real condition of CM ports, if its not here, its not real
X Rom vs. Y Rom
Same reason as asking what is the best ROM, its really up to the user preference

I RECOMMEND ALL NEW USERS TO WATCH THIS
(NOBODY'S A NOOB OK?) ITS JUST FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES

Status bar bug in One UI 5.0

Good evening, I recently installed One UI 5.0 on my S20FE 5G (SM-G781B) and ended up noticing a bug in the statur bar. As you can see in the video below, when I change the font, the status bar icons move and change position, changing the font size doesn't affect the size of the status bar icons, so it doesn't make sense for the icons to change of position.

@m3vuv you posted this in the Galaxy S5 Snapdragon Development section, but your post does not qualify for development, per the XDA Development Policy.
I have moved this to the Galaxy S5 General section.

As far as your statement goes, this is a very old device, and a lot of the development projects have been abandoned. Many file hosts remove files that don't see traffic after a certain amount of time. If the developer is still active, you can post in that thread notifying them that the link is broken, but don't expect it to get fixed.

ok so can you point me to a working rom android 5 or higher that works with a s5 901-f that installs with twrp?,thanks.
