Moderators I could not close this post so I leave it like this. I asked in Android General
I haven't heard of anything like that and don't think it exists. Sense this is a general Android question not n1 specific, you should look there.

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.
I often have questions that aren't directly related to the Nexus One or Android that I would like to ask my N1 brethren, but I don't feel right posting in the Q&A section.
Do people think we need such a section? If so, can we have one?
Go Sharks! Go Lakers! Also, I have some questions about Ubuntu and erectile dysfunction
What about the normal off topic section is not satisfactory to you? Wouldn't a nexus off topic be redundant?
But what happens when the question is targeted to nexus owners but is off topic?
For example: Hey, all nexus one owners out there. Do you find that your phone aids or detracts from your ability to make successful booty calls?
Does anyone else think this game is total crap? You only get 1 or maybe 2 hours of gameplay, and then they expect you to buy more levels???? And the power ups need to be bought with real money too unless you want to sit around for hours?
On top of that, the gameplay personally sucks and is very boring. I don't understand how people in the marketplace are giving this 5 stars.
I agree with you. This game blows.

I didn't care for the game, but everyone has their own opinions about it (I don't even like Angry Birds). I'm sure plenty will enjoy it though. So hey, more options for people is good to me.
Wrong subforum, please read the sticky rules and ask a mod to move the thread

I don't see why this should NOT be in the Apps and Games category, since this is a game. The developers probably won't post their game here anyways, since it was made by Microsoft, so this thread can serve as a place to discuss the game. When I come to a subforum that says Apps and Games, I expect to be able to read about and discuss all the apps and games available for WP7. If a mod wants to move this, they can, but that would be conterintuitive.
From the sticky:
MUST READ, MANDATORY
Rules for Non Devs
You must not post a thread in this forum this is for app releases ONLY!, WP7 General is more suited for you
...
Any thread that is not an app release, will be closed with out warning, there are Rules Stickied for a reason!

Yeah I already read that, and I already said I think those "rules" are ridiculous since they're counter intuitive and the best place for this thread is right here, where Games and Apps go, as the subcategory states. I don't care if they move or lock the thread, but I see no reason to.
You aren't above the rules. I made them specifically so devs can have a haven to release their threads with out obstructive threads like these. WP7 General is perfect for these questions because, this is a general question that has nothing to do with app releases. WP7 Software development is so devs can discuss the development of their app, and if they need help during development. WP7 Q/A is for people to ask questions and get answers. WP7 Development is for development on the OS level like hacks and new exploits and other tricks. WP7 General is all the general discussion you can think of. That is why it is there, it should be used and not neglected.

Sorry guys,
But the first task that the modertaor committee asked me to do was to clear up the development section of each of my moderated device.
So incase you havent found your Question/App/request/ or something to that effect anymore in the developement section where you originally posted, its because I have moved to the right section.
I know it may come off as an inconvenience to some, but in the long run, I am sure it will benefit all
Cheers!
Ok, this is getting crazy over here. Why on earth can we not have a SINGLE THREAD about Android L? It is the biggest release for Android and some people are excited. Everybody was confined to one thread prior to this, and guess what? That thread was closed. Why? Because people were apparently "spamming questions" (I didn't read through the entire thread so I don't know exactly what was going down, but the last couple pages didn't see all that bad).
Every other thread now is getting shut down. Seriously, what does it matter if people are asking too much? They are excited! Closing all of these threads are just going to make new people (those who weren't here last night or today) keep posting more topics on the matter. So what if people are being annoying. That main thread that was closed still had some genuine people in it. Who cares if there are a few people throughout the thread asking too much? Let them be! At least it is in one thread and not making a mess of this and the Q&A forum, likes its been since the main thread was closed.
Let this topic stay please, and let anybody speculate, ask questions, build hype or whatever towards Dev preview!
May I just remind everybody who would say something along the lines of "Oh XDA is a developer forum not blah blah blah", which is what I have seen numerous times in these topics that have been closed:
Quoted Directly above the threads here in General!
"Since this is not a development section, you can post on general topics that all users will encounter with the Nexus 5. Any registered XDA user can post in this forum."
I believe all users will encounter Android L, so why can't there be speculation, posts about things that were discovered, new pictures ect.? Look I know it gets annoying, but that's when it is all over the forum. Can we just keep this one topic open and confine everybody to it? It will make those who want to talk about it happy for they have a place and it will make those annoyed happy for it is only one thread.
Noble cause, but it won't work. It will derail in a matter of seconds and none of us mods feel like taking on the burden of keeping it in check simply for speculation purposes. Wait for the test version to drop, until then nothing is allowed.
Thread closed.
