I think a lot of the fourm noise would stop if devs would stop realising alpha or beta roms. Becouse what happens is noobs l get there hands on them and get all flash happy. But they quickly come to find out that there's a lot of stuff not working, and of course there going to start to ask questions on everything. .. even thoe most of the info is on the front page, that they for some wired reson didn't see. haha .. so I don't really think its an xda issue. To me it seems more of a realise issue.. just my my thoughts ..
[G1 Android Development] commandar:
There's no reason devs shouldn't be able to push out releases to get feedback. The problem is that feedback is overwhelming the topic that this forum is supposedly for.
[G1 Android Development] joe v:
It's more redundant than overwhelming . Don't get me wrong i to love to see new roms drop. Well I'm just saying that if it was me and I had a new Rom I would do it a bit different I wouldn't just dump it out there for everyone to knit pick... but that's just me I guess. .
[G1 Android Development] jaaronmoody:
thanx to all for your interest in this idea. I am starting to see this thread becoming a catchall for beefs on the content of the forum. THIS IS NOT WHAT I WAS INTENDING. I have no problem with anybody posting or releasing anything in a constructive and orderly manner. My suggestion is only for a different organization of the content not censorship!!!
[G1 Android Development] AGx-07_162:
He is just a jackass like many of the other members here who are just jackasses who feel like they have to post negativity in order to feel important. Maybe it wont work but does that mean you have to be a jackass, laugh, tell everyone you laughed and then make yourself look more like a jackass by adding to it?

What a jackass.

I agree with the OP but I doubt it'll happen cuz personally I think the mods here are a little bit of jackasses themselves.
[G1 Android Development] dcman008:
This is a good idea, adding a sub forum for Roms would clean things up a lot.

Now getting the mods/admins to do it could be hard.

What I think we need to do it

1. Show of support by members, pool or petition.

2. Support from well known and respected members.

Then we can go about talking to the mods/admins.
[G1 Android Development] jaaronmoody:
Thanx for your support. I believe that a large show of support in a thread like this one should be enough to get the wheels turning, provided that they aren't pushed to lock it for usual reasons. The mods are watching, the thread has been reported. by me... at least.
[G1 Android Development] jf4888:
Well basically a "dev" is qualified by the community/the sites mods etc.

Basically you confirm yourself of being a dev by actually making. ROMs themes Apps's etc..

If an account that has been monitered to truly be a dev account hasn't had any activity/not really developing his account is put on hold/and or deleted depending on the situation

It would basically be on "hold" if there's no activity for 20-30 days

Then to regain activeness you have to message xda that your back and they need to renable your account

If there's no activity on the account for more than 2 months then the account gets deleted
[G1 Android Development] shafty023:
I think this is a great idea and there should be a clear separation between ROM dev and platform dev.
[G1 Android Development] commandar:
12 out of the top 20 threads are ROM releases at the moment...

EDIT:

That's absurd and would only serve to discourage people from actually getting involved in development. My posting here is minimal, but if I had to jump through a dozen hoops to post, I'd just look elsewhere.

The sane answer is to provide separate, clearly marked forums and to have enough moderators to keep things on topic.
[G1 Android Development] jubeh:
I honestly don't think it's going to happen, but here's a better way to do it:

Make Dream/Dream into Dream/General;

Leave Dream/Q&A as such;

Remove Dream/Dream Android Development;

Create Dream/Dream AOSP Development;

Create Dream/Porting to Dream;

Leave Dream/Themes & Wallpapers as such;

Leave Dream/Dream Acessories as such;

Leave Dream/Dream Applications and Games as such;

Ports of roms would move to Porting to Dream, this includes Hero, sapphire, rogers, T-Mo, and ADP ports (even if just adding root, it's still a port).

Dream AOSP Development would replace Android development and it would serve as a place for people to work at the AOSP branch directly (like Cyanogen is doing) and maybe contribute back to the project and post source modifications.

Both AOSP Development and Porting to Dream would be closed for commenting if the thread author deems it so. If open for comment, posters would have to re-use their single post (use the damn edit button). Any additional posts by an user would be erased, also, signatures would be disabled.

We probably want more concerns to be posted on Dream Q&A, such as the people that now start threads in there like "Cyanogen flashing help" and OP's on Development and Porting forums would respond to issues on their roms by editing their main post.

---edit---

aaron, put on a shirt!
[G1 Android Development] jaaronmoody:
hahaha sorry, i was trying to, but just wasn't fast enough so, hence "the hand"

there you go jubeh, thanx for your input!!!
[G1 Android Development] overground:
I second this suggestion (sorry, I haven't read the whole thread), but this seems like it makes the most sense to me. Just a general Android Dev forum, and then have device specific subs maybe.
[G1 Android Development] jaaronmoody:
great suggestions everyone! I'm gonna let you all take this where you want to, cause I'm not sure which way would be the best. I still like my original suggestion, but there are obviously others with merit. I don't care what is done, as long as it improves the site for everyone, but most importantly, the devs who need this.
[G1 Android Development] danieljordanmaddux:
Why not just on the forum instead of having each individual android phone have one like this:

Android Phones

--->Android Development

--->Android Applications

--->Dream

------>Dream Q&A

------>Dream Android Development

--------->ROM Development

--------->ROM Q&A

------>Dream Accessories

------>Dream Themes

--->Hero

------>Hero Q&A

------>Hero Android Development

--------->ROM Development

--------->ROM Q&A

------>Hero Accessories

------>Hero Themes

and so on with sapphire, tattoo, and any future android devices
[G1 Android Development] jaaronmoody:
i suggested what i did, not cause it is the best way to do it now, but it may be the EASIEST way to streamline things now. creating 1 subforum in each current one seems easier than re-working the whole site.... but PLEASE lets keep the discussion going. I believe this is needed. let me know if i am wrong.
[G1 Android Development] jubeh:
The problem is that this is not an Android phone forum, this is an XDA forum ::cough::ignoreexperia::cough::. I really don't know whether the forum will gain or miss anything if users leave for a more general Android forum so, until that changes, this will probably remain an XDA forum with Android as an afterthough (that is, until HTC's majority of handsets are Android powered).
[G1 Android Development] cytown:
The key point is most rom developer is a developer too.

It's hard to seprate them....
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
um...

1. it's Xperia lol

2. wasn't it made by HTC FOR Sony?

3. this is true... but the number of Android handsets is growing, so it should at least be organized by OS at the top, then split by phone, maybe even like smartphone, basic phone, PDA, idk. to help keep the huge clutter down... cuz the Dream/G1 is like in the middle of the phone list and if i didn't have it on my firefox saved tabs ;) i'd be screwed...
[G1 Android Development] alapapa:
I have to disagree -- now, if someone starts pumping out Winmo, non-Android Linux, or Symbian ROMs for the Dream, those topics would merit subforums based on the existing structure of the site.

there are boards out there that are Android-centric. xda-developers is not one of them.

My $.02
[G1 Android Development] overground:
Ha...you and me both, buddy. Good point.
[G1 Android Development] jaaronmoody:
Thanks to the mods and admins for listening to the community in modifying the site's structure. They didn't take my suggestion, but they are much smarter than me:D. This thread can be closed now. thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] dahauss:
I am thinking of getting the TP2 for sprint and want to know if the LED blinks like it does on my 800W. I get different blink speeds and colors for different things.. IE blink fast RED for missed calls, blink slow green for text messages missed etc. Also does it have a built in program for custom ringers so I dont need a special program like I do on the 800W?

Thanks...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] rjmjr69:
Yes it does. Green for missed calls incoming texts etc etc. Red for charging or dead battery
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] l3it3r:
windows mobile's contact manager supports custom ringers.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tchiuhangng:
Hi all,

Wonder if anyone could give me a hand. My messaging function went into white screen, cant type or send message out.

I did a reboot a while ago because the phone froze on the wm screen. It chucked my spl back to 1.37. Wonder if anyone could give me a hand to let me know how to deal with this problem?

Do i need to hardflash my spl first?

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] daniel.bigred:
.

could you be a bit more specific? have you tried soft-resetting the device since it had this problem? if so you may need to hard-reset the device
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tchiuhangng:
not sure why, i tried hitting down vol + reset for a soft reset.

Went into the bootloader, but froze. Only said serial.

I am wondering do i need to hard flash the device first -.-"

Would be great if i get some help from someone.

Thanks!

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] jad011:
Is it a verizon exlusive or can it be used with T-Mobile, and if it can be unlocked to work with t-mobile will the 3g.. etc work?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] HTC Touch Freak:
No. CDMA=no SIM. and if it is a CDMA world phone I doubt people will be able to hack the SIM slot and unlock it. And even if they did it is not equiped with a T-mo US 3G radio.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] jad011:
eh. damn, that phone is supposed to be the best android phone yet

That's an ugly cheap toy. Sorry had to say it. T-mobile needs to step up the game again. They missed out on the great Hero. Hopefully they get the "Dragon" first.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Fuskand:
Feeling some mad buyer's remorse over purchasing a MT3G ~2 months ago.

Oh well.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] HTC Touch Freak:
MT3G.... oh My Touch 3G.... I like T-MO red the most. Not a bad looking phone in person. Think of it this way. When your 2yr contract is up there will beter phones than the ones coming out in 2010. :D
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] JRK-Scope:
There IS a GSM Droid coming though for Telus Mobility in Canada which is switching over to HSDPA along with Bell. CDMA is getting phased out in Canada.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] HTC Touch Freak:
And it shouldbe phased out in the States aswell. Good riddence.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] galaxys:
Yep, CDMA RIP (include the USA as well)! :cool: Such a waste of "space" :eek:
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] JRK-Scope:
Yeah, with LTE (4G), the whole world should be following a unified standard hopefully on not more than two frequencies.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Tarzanman:
Oh, I hope they use more than two frequencies otherwise there will be too much interference
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] segadc:
Very interested in the Motorola Droid.

Questions about Android...

Can you get real time push hotmail?

Is there a wifi router app?

Is there a logmein app?

Is there an orb app (or able to stream from orb site)?

Thanks in advance...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] xcom923:
I doubt you'll have an interference problem, being that the rest of the world has the same standard it's only the states now that don't use one standard (we have to always be different). I'm on the bandwagon with CDMA being phased out, even if it is better tech (I don't agree with that statement I'm just saying....) with the rest of the world on GSM it's hard to come out with a good phone that will support either or both.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Kainous:
Will we be getting a special forum for the droid here on XDA?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] HTC Touch Freak:
No Droid is made by Motorola. This is a HTC only Site.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] shatteredzman:
So where will we go for our custom roms? I am not familiar with any other modding sites like XDA.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] HTC Touch Freak:
I have no idea at all sorry.

Try googleing for Android forums. I'm sure they are out there.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] cellulararrest:
I too am slightly concerned about that. We'll need to get to work on rooting the thing as soon as possible. Has anyone started digging into the thing who has a review unit?

We certainly need to find a central location to collaborate.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] jpayne97:
If someone finds a site, post it in this thread.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] shatteredzman:
How about instead of tons of people leaving this forum because of the droid and other non HTC android phones just expand the android section to cover all android phones since they share the same basic operating system and internal components(right?). I do not post on this forum but I do read it a lot and I like the community and the experience it has in regards to modding phones. I do not think there is any other modding community as developed as this one and without a central hub to bring developers together the android modding community could suffer.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] HTC Touch Freak:
Exact thing could be said for Winmo phones but still only HTC built phones are here only. I don't think it would change but it would be nice to see all the android devices on here. A seperate Android Section with all the devices and forums there. So an XDAdev Winmo forum and XDAdev Android forum selections on the home page. That would be sweet.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] kaptix:
I think they have established that this is an HTC forum, having everyone getting up to leave is like getting everyone to leave a Ford forum because they wont make a section for Toyota. But you never know im not against it or anything
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] shatteredzman:
Well I hate to sound like a foreigner that comes to a new country and says "back in america we did things like this! you guys should change the way you do things" but I think it would be a nice change.

Anyways here are some sites for modding motorola phones.

http://motohell.com/

Not very active.

http://www.modmymoto.com/forums/index.php

More active but still nowhere near XDA.

http://www.howardforums.com/forumdisplay.php?forumid=101&s=

A subsection of the howardforums but like the other sites it does not get much traffic.

What we really need is a site dedicated to all android phone modding... I dont have the ability to do so but I know other people do and the demand is(or will) there.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] _Timbo_:
There already is a forum similar to the xda-forum and dedicated to android phones: http://and-developers.com/ (No, I'm not involved in that page).
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] axlastro:
Try modaco.com

modaco.com

It's a site for smartphones in general. Very professional site, no less than XDA in any way.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] axlastro:
I'm using android for half an year.

DROID does pretty much any of the above, I'm not sure about e-mail push, i think it DOESN'T. Judging from your priorities, I might advise you to stay on windows mobile. It's just that WM is better when it comes to connectivity support of any kind, that's it

Iphone - for gaming and fluid user experience. (never actually had one)

Android - for acceptable user experience and acceptable connectivity/software capability

WM - for being able to do about everything you do on a desktop PC in an annoying, brain busting and sluggish way, but getting the job done.

Blackberry - dunno , why all that hype . Never used one...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] JRK-Scope:
The Droid has Android 2.0 which has Microsoft Exchange support out of the box, so I think your point about push email is invalid. They call it Corporate server methinks.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] cellulararrest:
Gmail will push to the phone. As well as exchange.

Its screen is huge, 3.5 mm headphone support is great, Android 2.0 is so delicious, I CAN'T WAIT DAMN IT!

Dragon

I cant wait for the fabled Dragon, or passion, what ever they end up calling it. It should be way better then the droid, and its HTC...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] cellulararrest:
The Dragon does look like quite a good piece of hardware. I'm loving my droid though. This thing is nearly perfect. The keyboard took a bit to get used to, but other than that it's fantastic.

To get to the bootloader hold UP on the dpad and push the power button. I guess we're still waiting on Motorola to release some source code. It's reassuring that the Sprint hero has been rooted. However the droid has completely different hardware. I suppose time will tell.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] felixm477:
actually quite a few non HTC phones have sections here its not exclusively htc. palm has a few devices here. i wouldn't be surprised of droid gets a spot here because of its popularity, the fact it has eclair, and it would give xda another android hand held to add to their forumsm

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoXerO:
Hey everybody. I've been using my Xperia for about 2 months now. However, while messing around with it the other day, I realized that it's kind of shaky. For example, if i "press" against the silver finish all the way to the right of the screen, the top part of the phone shakes a little (like it moves kind of inward). Also, when I press the bottom right soft key, the same thing happens. It shakes a little, and it's not too big of a deal but it's annoying.

Another thing is that the keyboard also slides out very easily. Like way too easily. While using the touchflo 3d with one finger (sliding to the right), for instance, unless my finger is completely dry and moving on the screen very smoothly, the screen moves to the right slightly (the way the keyboard opens).

Also, when the keyboard is out, if i "press" towards the top part of the screen, it also shakes. It feels kind of loose.

I just wanted to know, is this normal? If not, what should I do, as I bought this phone from ebay.

Other than this problem, I love my Xperia. It's very functional and like a mini PC. If it wasn't for this place, though, I think I would have probably been VERY, VERY dissatisfied with my Xperia (with the stock rom).

Thanks in advance. Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: My phone is a silver, Xperia X1i model.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sfkn2:
I don't think that's normal. Do you tend to slide out your keyboard a lot? Have you noticed any cracks near the stylus btw?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickysio:
Holy-!

How much force are you using on the screen?! My slider is exceedingly solid. Absolutely no give, and even if I use TF3D it doesn't move.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xicloe:
I think that's out of normal :)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr.Sid:
My Black X1 has about 1mm play, on the left side. On the right side it is less, but it can be felt, exactly as you mention.

As for opening, I have no problem with that, it gives just reasonable resistance.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoXerO:
i try to peat as least pressure as possible while using tf3d. i also dont slide out my keyboard THAT much. and no, no cracks near stylues.

apparently, this is not normal. any advice?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickysio:
redo the screen calibration, now applying as LITTLE force as you can to get the press registered, and try again. Xperia has some sort of vario force meter on the touchscreen - the more force you use during calibration, the more force you need during normal usage.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoXerO:
another issue i have with my phone (not hardware related) is the fact that when i use high quality on my youtube app, watching the video is sooooooo laggy. is there any fix for this
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickysio:
It's a limitation of the current app, most likely it's incapable of taking advantage of the native hardware decoding the MSM7200/7201/7200A/whatever chipset offers.
