Please post your request in the following thread - ***New Device Forum Requests***.

If, however, you'd just like to create a single thread for discussion regarding that phone (instead of requesting a dedicated forum) then you can create a thread in the General forum :)
[About XDA developers] Sh4d0Wx:
I already posted a request there but that thread is just spammed and the requests are unnoticed, since new and new requests are posted every few minutes. Yes I guess its a dedicated forum, just like there is for LG L9, I can search for the device in the top bar search form and it sends me directly to the L9 forum, thats what I would like. Isnt there any way you could create it?
[About XDA developers] KidCarter93:
No I can't as only admins can add new forums.

Even though you may think that requests in that thread go unnoticed that's not the case. The admins do monitor the thread but naturally not all requests can be fulfilled. To stand a better chance (although still not guaranteed), wait for some development to happen on your device, i.e. rooting, ROMs etc. and then consolidate those pieces of development into your request for a forum.

This will possibly help as the main aim behind a device forum is to focus on development, so without that it's less likely to happen.
[About XDA developers] Sh4d0Wx:
Oh, okay. Well I think some of the development would work from L9 on L9 too. Rooting, directory bind scripts, etc. I would wait but I requested it because I already saw threads for phones are not even released yet or available for purchase. And that thread would be useful to post some infos about the phone, share the experience, apps, themes, accessories, etc. Because how would be possible to get things moving without a thread to provide a feedback?

I have an issue about this rom: [ROM] iHackers [MIUI v5] v1.2 [3.10.20] [Galaxy S3]

I can't contribute in the developers forum, so I am doing it right here:

After installing this rom, I connected to wi-fi, protected by pass and proxy, and the rom didnt save my setups.

Its an issue I noticed this version and the previous one.

I know the rules are unmovable, but...this 10 post rule is a bit hard to get through, I mean, I would like to participate in discussion about the ROM I found here, found my interest in it and would like to help developing it by reporting bugs or referring it's work, but I can't, due to restriction of 10 posts. Of course I could go to general forums and start spamming (each 5 minutes I can) replies to most common threads, like "say hello" or smth like that, but that's not the point, I suppose...is using captcha not good enough? What is that rule all about anyway?:) I'm not offending, just wondering, if that is really so neccessary:)

greetz, XDA!
[About XDA developers] Jonny:
If you spam, we delete your posts and your account gets reset so you have to get 10 posts all over again. In other words, its better not to do this.

The point of the ten post rule is to stop spammers spamming a development thread - we'd rather no spammers at all but with a forum this size, that isn't going to happen so this lets us keep the spammers out of the most important threads in terms of device development.

It seems like you may already know a fair bit so how about trying to help people out in your devices Q&A forum? This is a far more beneficial way to get ten posts than random spamming.

And remember, we all had to go through the 10 posts as well... instead of moaning about it, maybe try helping to come up with a more efficient solution? If you have any ideas for a better alternative we'd be happy to hear them in this thread :)
[About XDA developers] putonsky:

Apologies for my ignorance here. I've recently just picked up 2x Docomo Samsung Galaxy J SC-02F and noticed that the following thread is closed (presumably deemed as a rumour back then but it's very much a reality now) :-

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=46276068

However I'm not certain if this model would really fall under a Galaxy S4 variant or more as a "mini Note 3" seeing that it has the h/w specs of the Note 3, not to mention even aesthetically it's more rectangular like the Note 3 rather than the rounded Galaxy S4.

Any recommendations/tips on where I could post/ask about this model of phone I just bought yesterday? I've tentatively put a post up in the Galaxy S4 General Device Comparisons / Discussions / Rumours / News thread.

P.S. I'm somewhat very new to Android too, coming from an iOS background for the past few years.

i have tried different roms using SP Flash Tools but can not recover my phone

i somehow find preloader.bin and scatter file for 6572_S00 but could not find stock rom thats why flashing other roms is not recovering my phone at the moment i have flashed alps-jb3 rom but phone is stuck on display touch is not working no sound
[About XDA developers] Red Devil:
Hiya mate. I guess asking in the Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting will be a better option as compared to here, as over there, you have a good chance of finding other Galaxy S 4 users and developers who will pay much more attention to your question, as compared to this thread which is meant for requests of xda-developers as a whole.

Is there a way to hide users signatures? Some of them are with large banners really annoying, especially on smaller screens. You get 1 line reply, then 20 lines of text with font that even blind one can see and at the end large banner or two. Who cares what rom someone is using - it can be written in single normal font line.

Or at least how can you hide signatrue banners?

[About XDA developers] OlaNordmann123:
Is there no way around this? I understand the reasoning behind it, but I have a question regarding a specific functionality of a ROM which I can't figure out by myself, however I do not wish to bug the developer directly via PM when there are open threads (maybe other users might be able to help as well). Forcing users to contact devs directly goes beyond my comprehension.

I also don't see the benefit of making 10 post if I have nothing to contribute with and is done purely in self interest, just so I can write in the dev forum.

Sorry for the moan :)
[About XDA developers] Pons:
There's a whole sub-forum for that. It's called the QUESTION and Answer (sometimes Troubleshooting). Development is for....development. Also, please read the OP of this thread, which specifically asks that you do not post about the 10-post rule here. If you can't follow that with your first post, why should you be allowed to post in the Development section? (please don't answer that; it's rhetorical)
[About XDA developers] OlaNordmann123:
I didn't mean to upset you

The Q/A subforum doesn't have a thread regarding that specific ROM. It's not a general question about the phone. All discussion appears to be in the Development section, and no one seems to mind the questions there, in fact everyones seems very nice about it, helping each other out. Should I open a thread in the QA section myself pointing to that ROM? What's the "proper" way to go about it? :confused:
[About XDA developers] Umito:
I have a jenkins build-server setup to generate daily Cyanogenmod 10.2 builds for transformer tf101. However, I can't post the links in development forum of this device. I did setup this because the author of the rom it's based on stopped providing the builds because he got a new tablet. I would like to help out, but don't really feel like posting some random stuff until I have access. Are exceptions possible? Or do I just go and find some posts I can constructively comment on?
[About XDA developers] Robbie P:
New developers have asked this before on my device forum. I would suggest opening a thread in the q&a forum, wait til you post 5 supportive posts in that thread, then ask a friendly mod to move your thread to the development forum. It might work

Best of luck
[About XDA developers] Pons:
I'm not upset, and didn't mean to sound it. Due to being on the interwebz it's hard to put emphasis on certain words, so meaning can be misconstrued. Anyways, if there's no Q&A thread already started for the ROM, then just start a thread for your question in the Q&A section. Something like [Q] ROM_Name Functionality for a tile title (something that sums up your question easily to attract the right people to answer), then more detailed in your post. The Q&A section is for all questions that pertain to the phone. It doesn't have to be a general question; it can pertain to a certain ROM, as long as it's for the phone.

And if I were you, I'd PM the dev about Q&A / Troubleshooting Threads for ROMS, Kernels, Projects to see if he knows about it, and see if he's interested in starting one up.

One way that xda could help give exceptional just-barely members a boost is to offer them a kind of "scholarship" and the rights to display it in their signature.

You guys seem more knowledgeable then the average user. Saying "I have to make useless posts" is a contradiction.

No one has forced you to "make some useless post"

The rule is in place to prevent repeat spammers access to the development fora.

If you do not think that you can manage to get to 10 posts by helping users,

then what makes you think that what you have to say in a development forum will help anyone?

The 10 post rule is in place and is not going anywhere.

Currently there are 5.3+ million members of XDA. Surely you can help out ten of them.

Also when you do make 10 more posts helping out, then this post should help you out in the development sections HOW TO REPORT A BUG

Good luck in the Q&A fora ;)
[About XDA developers] Toledo_JAB:
Not that I think this is a bad thing, but...

We currently have several recognized member programs.

Are you suggesting that XDA start an apprentice recognized member system? A possible "padawan developer" title? :D

To make quality development does not require any title or amount of posts, helping members does not either.

Here at XDA we like to let your actions speak for themselves.

If you provide meaningful contributions to the community repeatedly, above and beyond the average member, then fellow members will take notice and say so.

We expect members to show a track history on XDA before even applying for a recognized title.

Unfortunately not every person can develop and not every one has good people skills.

That being said, when someone has shown a history of going above and beyond, then if they want, they can apply for a recognized title.

However giving out titles without proper vetting could prove problematic.

The current systems require a substantial commitment from the XDA staff and increasing it would increase the commitment.

In relation to the age of XDA our recognized programs are in their youth and are continuing to evolve.

I would suggest that you work on more details for your suggestion.
