[About XDA developers] O_G:
Thanks for noticing:) We work hard to get forums up and running, but with the HUGE amount of devices released, we try to be selective to those that have some development. Having a forum does not somehow magically initiate development for a device, that some seem to suggest:p It's also more than 2, we have opened over 70 new discussion forums alone over the past couple of months.

As you say, some of the forums being opened aren't full forums, rather a discussion forum, these are created when a device simply does not have the required amount of threads to justify a full forum. This is not to say that particular device will never receive the full forum love, it's a kinda middle ground to help pull the threads together and make the device searchable via the "find your device". If and when a device has built sufficient momentum to justify a full forum, it will be reviewed by the Admins (ofc a suggestion here is always welcome)

EDIT: As zel points out below, some devices are a given and will receive the full forum from the get go. Some are easy to judge, others not so.

For the nVidia android TV issue, I'll look into that:good:

A big thanks to all who have posted suggestions here:good:
[About XDA developers] zelendel:
It was given an area. You have to remember that this is a mobile development site. So it was given an are to see what will happen. I mean there is a very real chance that they could make the TV not work if it has been messed with. Also there is no promise of any real development for a TV. Sure you may have root and a rom or two but that is not saying that may just be all it gets.

The one plus is almost guaranteed to have active and alot of development.
[About XDA developers] SuperBilleN:
Nubia z9 forum needed.

Please create ?
[About XDA developers] noneabove:
See this confuses me.. Because first of all, we have a Nexus Player section... Another Android TV. There's even an Amazon Fire TV section! Do those 2 devices offer significantly more promise of development than the nVidia shield TV? Especially since nVidia is overall quite developer friendly. Second, to address your point of 'make the TV not work' there are images provided by nVidia for flashing if things go wrong, but also this is the case with all devices here. People know what they're getting into. You could flash a ROM that makes your phone unable to make 911 calls, people accept the risks of development. Third, there are other sections, General, Q/A, Accessories.... I know this is largely a development site but even if there's minimal development shouldn't you want to bring as many users as possible here? It seems contradictory to a forum that they try to be exclusive and actively try to leave out a userbase. It's a new and exciting market, a whole different kind of android, who knows what people will do with it? It's harder to find out if you don't give people a place to pool their knowledge.

Edit: Okay so there is in fact now a general section for the nvidia shield TV, didn't notice that (doesn't come up in a google search) so I guess that is a fair start.

---------- Post added at 01:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:11 PM ----------

I mean, that doesn't make any other device getting ignored better does it?
[About XDA developers] CTXz:
With that said the one plus two will be quite famous after its still current successor the one plus one. So we can pretty much expect a big dev community on that device, where the NVIDIA Shield TV just came out of the nothing and slowly starts getting interest even by devs. Once it gets allot of development, a next gen of this device should get a forum quite easy.

While devices with no development, no recognized developers involved have their forum up and running from the day one.

I am not saying that you should close those forums, but atleast XDA should give other devices with development the same love.

+1 for JIAYU S3
[About XDA developers] ercea:
I agree with DerTeufel1980, Jiayu S3 development is very "alive" and, I think, we are a lot of Jiayu S3 users. Addiotionally, currently there are some tips about many features for this device, so, in my opinion, I think that an organized forum is needed for us :)

Regards!
[About XDA developers] O_G:
As I said before, some are easy to judge, others not so. The Jiayu S3 does have a discussion forum and is searchable by the find your device feature, so this is a big step-up from not having a forum at all. Currently it sits at approximately 19 threads (one page), so hardly justifies a full forum, but if and when development ramps up, we can re-evaluate. The discussion forum initiative was implemented so we can add new devices at a faster rate while making sure we don't have "ghost town" forums.

Again, thanks to all for their suggestions, we do listen and I'll keep this thread updated from now on:good::highfive:

Hello XDA-Developers Forum Admins. May i have you attention?

Why do you have made a single forum for Xperia P, S, Sola and U? Yes we know they look the same on the outside, but there isn't on the inside, so why don't make a forum for each device. A compromise could be a Xperia NXT forum with each devices in child forums. But if you don't do it, then it could go to be much annoying searching for a rom or kernel for you specific device :)

LG G Pad 7" (v410/v400) Request

REQUEST:

New device forum, for LG G Pad 7" (v410/v400)

PLEASE create a separate forum for our device!

WHY:

We are currently posting/reading in the LG G Pad 8 & 10" Forums, mixed in with devices who have few owners.

Page views are in the hundreds of thousands, but posts often in low hundreds due to confusion where to post.

DEVELOPMENT:

[About XDA developers] CTXz:
Believe me or not but there are lacking good devs for the A-series. Mainly because devs don't buy these kinds of phones. From what I already saw in the A5 thread in the alpha forums it was a big mess in terms of communication. If I had this phone I would love the customize it.
[About XDA developers] monakh:
You know, the Chinese are coming :P

OK, I am being cheeky, but seriously, these inexpensive MTK phones are about to kick everyone's ass. I come from using a long line of flagship devices and I truly believe that the Chinese phones will own the market in less than a few years. The era of the $699 phone is rapidly coming to an unfortunate end if the big guys don't shape up.

Anyway, on topic, I suggest that rather than creating a separate forum for the Elephone P7000, or the Jiayu S3, or the Lenovo K3 Note, and a dozen other copy-cat devices built around the MTK-6752 SOC, just create a forum for 'MTK6752-based devices' and create sub-fora under it. Moderation should be a bit easier then.
[About XDA developers] Mevolent:
I can definitely say that MediaTek phones are very unpopular with developers, as they don't release their source codes. (which is also illegal, mind you)

Don't forget to smash that thanks button if I, or someone else helps you, guys!
[About XDA developers] monakh:
Yes, I am aware of MediaTek's rogue behavior but I believe that as their technology starts showing up in more devices, and gets pushed around the world, they will have no choice but to shape up and comply with open source guidelines. In any event, people are clamoring for forums of Elephone, Jiayu et al, this was a suggestion in light of that. Heck, create a forum for MTK67xx series and capture the upcoming 6753 while you are at it under the same umbrella.

These phones are flying off the shelves. I own three of them myself along with a Note 3 and M8 and a G3. They need forums of their own.
[About XDA developers] Mevolent:
I must say that I don't see much clamour for these Chinese/Japanese phones outside of these forums/thread.

The general consumer isn't going to go for some cheap Chinese phone (no offence to anyone, it's how many people see them) when they could go for the likes of a... Samsung, unfortunately. Qualcomm is the most preferred manufacturer simply because of their flexibility and reliability. I, personally don't see the benefits of a big.LITTLE processor setup, but I do believe that MediaTek has potential to be the best. Simply because they break the law is the only reason they aren't. (in my eyes.)

Don't forget to smash that thanks button if I, or someone else helps you, guys!
[About XDA developers] monakh:
Just because you don't see it, doesn't mean the clamor doesn't exist. You need only look at the number of thanks in this post in this very thread to see what I mean. It's not simply representative of this forum, it's the new trend across the Intrawebs. Like I said, the Chinese are coming. And no one is more worried about this than Qualcomm (regardless of their nonchalant stance). So we can agree to disagree here.

I do agree with you on MediaTek's potential. They used to be the VIA of the SOC world. They will go far (even if VIA didn't as a chipset manufacturer).

Hi

Since we don't (still) own our forum, but we have the forum device tag...

I Already created 2 new rom threads, but they were not added into the device "forum tag".

Doesn't make any sense, that we continue to merge all the developments into our main thread:
