I was just wondering why the Razr i has 2 separate developmet forums, as in RAZR i Original Android Development and RAZR i Android Development?
I just find this really confusing and am always clicking the wrong link. I can't help but think this may be slightly hindering development. The Pillama ROM is one of a few threads that have been duplicated which means information is hard to find with it being in two places.
Anyway, not sure where to post it but maybe replying to this thread or clicking thanks in the bottom left will mean that both forums can be combined, if anyone else agrees?

One is mods and the other is original work? Or at least I assumed that was the intention. Reality seems to be not enough traffic to warrant both anyway.

Couldn't agree more
Glad we are on the same wavelength, does anyone have any idea who to ask to change it?
I have sent an email to the webmaster with a link to this thread, I'l let you know what happens.
I've sent this to the webmaster, see what happens.

Hello, on the above link I have asked members if they like having two forums with a very similar topic (RAZR i Android Development and RAZR i Original Android Development). The answer has been that people agree that it is confusing and possibly slowing down progress of development for this phone.
I am always clicking the wrong link and am unsure of the purpose of the two forums and am wondering if it is in fact a mistake? Current work and development is even beginning to be duplicated (Pillama). It would be great if the two forums could be combined and I write this email in the hope this could be done.
I look forward to hearing from you,
regards, Cuben.
Re: [Q] Why have 2 separate development forums, it's just annoying!
Its confusing i agree.
In the original android its stock android from OEM, just thats why root and unlocking bootloader its there, no changes as how it work.
In android development its for mods and such things (roms, kernels, etc)

It's very confusing and counter-productive.
Agreed.
Hello, here is the reply from the webmaster:
Hi,
this is not a mistake. Most devices have both of these subforums.

People seemed to support it originally. I'll ask if it can be removed on our forum - don't hold your breath tho!
Here's my reply to "webmaster"
Hi, thank for the reply. the thread here has a unanimous agreement of general confusion from the multiple forums from junior members, senior members and developers. I / we were wondering if the two forums could be combined?
I have started a poll on the thread, if the community could make this choice this would be great.
Regards, Cuben.
Guys, this is a site-wide forum structure. All fourms have this. We generally won't change our forum structure just to suit one small device.
To save me explaining it fully, allow me to quote from that article:
Original Development is for:
Official releases of highly original and upstream custom ROMs (built from the ground up with significant original development within them
Official releases/development of such original ROMs, perhaps posted by the maintainer or their nominated person.
A significant “first” in development for a device. Significant is subjective, but it is likely something which took considerable time/effort, and is generally accepted by developers to be significant and non-trivial.
Kernels which are built with beneficial changes that are not simply pulled from other kernels already available. Some element of original work is expected.
Tools and utilities with a clear purpose, and which are well-made, and useful to users. They should have an element of originality, either in purpose or through significant improvement in the means of operation.
Significant port of a ROM from one device to another, giving enhanced features or functionality to users of the target device. The port should be beneficial (a port from two virtually identical devices isn’t original development, it’s winzipping, and nobody really benefits from this, as it’s not development)

The following are most likely not “Original Development”, and should be posted in the “Android Development” subforum:
Your own “unofficial” stock build of your favourite original, source-built (or otherwise) ROM, particularly where an official or maintainer-endorsed thread exists already.
Minor derivatives of other ROMs with little or no changes, or ROMs consisting of “placebo” features as a main constituent or claim.
Renames or rebadges of others’ work – these don’t belong on XDA at all! Refer to rule 12 for more information.
Reposts of existing ROMs with small changes (i.e. kitchen work, such as adding a couple of apps). If you could realistically distribute your changes as an “addon pack” above and beyond a ROM, you should do so. In addition, your “ROM” would not be original development as it would be substantially identical to the original ROM.
A thread created with unrealistic goals that are clearly unachievable by those starting the thread. This is not intended to discourage high aspirations, rather to prevent threads porting Windows Phone 8 to the HTC Wallaby. This is pretty much common sense.
A ROM where a main or significant claim/feature is graphical changes to the user interface (ie. Themed ROM)[

First and foremost, this structure is here for our developers. Developers are what make XDA Developers possible and this was done as a compromise to allow their work to be better classified.
At the end of the day, it's not too difficult to look in two separate forums, depending on what you are looking for.

Yea, that's what I'm hoping for. I think we'd need quite a few more on the poll. Once it levels out I'll contact the webmaster with our democratic vote!
My reply to the poll is as follows:
Hello, I wondered if it would be worth asking you to look at the forum below when you get chance.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2214946&page=2
There are now 24 people unanimously voting to combine the two forums.
let me know the outcome, I personally think the forum has spoken. Let me know if you require any more to change the forums into one. If the forums are to remain separate then that would be a shame as I see no reason or desire for the separation. I think the general view (certainly for our small development) is that the two separate forums cause confusion and impede development.
Regard, John

Hopefully we'll have the forums combined. I'm not sure what else would be needed if this unanimous vote isn't enough.
As the title says i cant seem to find one. Anyone know of any other forums?
Looking for one myself..haven't seen one yet.
Looks like we have one now...
Where???

Do you mean this one?? Ya gotta be kidding me! I'm talking about a forum like every other Android device on XDA,
How about a forum that has:
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS,
GUIDES, NEWS, & DISCUSSION,
ROMS, KERNELS, RECOVERIES, & OTHER DEVELOPMENT,
THEMES, APPS, AND MODS,
and ACCESSORIES
Does anyone know why one hasn't been created yet?

It looks like your a bit lost and/or confused here so I'll do my best to help guide you a bit.
The following thread is dedicated for requesting a New Device Dedicated Area on the Forum...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660354
... Please read the first 2 posts on that thread for understanding the process itself.
If you require any further guidance/clarification on any of the processes/procedures, regarding this topic, your best bet is to Post/PM the ET Administrator @O_G (whose responsible for this) and, if needed, @MikeChannon (whose one of the XDA Administrators).
In addition, the following is the Enhanced Tag Link for the Google Pixel Slate device. It's the first step in the process of the creation of a Device Dedicated Area on the Forum.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/google-pixel-slate
I hope that I had helped you out in clarifying this process... :thumbup:
I wish you the best of luck!

Well as linked by Ibuprophen we have threads for the device specially tagged to keep them linked together but also to let us see if it is very popular. If it is we add a forum set if the number of threads rises to around 3 pages of threads.
Currently I see only three threads tagged. There may be more but you'll need to give us links to any threads for the device that aren't yet tagged.

It's not about gender. My wife likes everything very simple, ready to use and without any interference for complicated configurations.
Thread cleaned
1. This is a Q&A thread for a legit question and opinions and explained here(non competitive to other roms in general, every human on earth has it's own preferences): https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=82548275&postcount=6
2. If you have nothing useful to say regarding the question of the OP, move on, but don't insult others or argue with them.
3. Slightly off topic is OK, but not a whole page.
4. Please keep in mind to discuss on topic and without offending others, be friendly to members and report instead of reply
I recommend to read the FORUM RULES especially those:
2.1 Language: XDA is a worldwide community. As a result, what may be OK to say in your part of the world, may not be OK elsewhere. Please don't direct profanity, sexually explicit language or other offensive content toward Members or their work. Conversely, while reading posts from other members, remember that the word you find offensive may not be offensive to the writer. Tolerance is a two-way street.
2.3 Flaming / Lack of respect: XDA is about sharing and this does not involve virtual yelling (flaming) or rudeness. Flaming or posting with a lack of respect is unacceptable. Treat new members in the manner in which you would like to have been treated when you were a new member. When dealing with any member, provide them with guidance, advice and instructions when you can, showing them respect and courtesy. Never post in a demanding, argumentative, disrespectful or self-righteous manner.
2.4 Personal attacks, racial, political and / or religious discussions: XDA is a discussion forum about certain mobile phones. Mobile phones are not racial, political, religious or personally offensive and therefore, none of these types of discussions are permitted on XDA.
15. Keep threads / posts on-topic
Whilst a minor amount of off-topic posting may be overlooked, the general rule is that your posts / threads must be relevant to the Forum / thread in which you are posting.
-General Forums - For news and announcements relating to your device.
-Q&A Help & Troubleshooting Forums - For all question / request threads and posts. If there is no Q&A Help & Troubleshooting forum, use the General Forum of the relevant device
-Accessories Forum - For posts related to accessories relevant to the device
-Development Forums (ones with the word development in the title) - For Developers to post release threads e.g. ROMs and Kernels including modifications to kernels, bootloaders, ROMs, etc., as well as R&D development discussion threads designed with an end goal
-Themes and Apps Forums - For the posting of Themes and / or Apps as well as announcements & discussions including modifications made to Themes and Apps.
Thank you all for your understanding and have a nice day:good:
Regards!

maybe but they can test out miui with ios theme ... the look but maybe not the performance
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
