Bravo XDA Developer. I never wander around to this section before and i couldnt believe my eyes when i saw an ACER and Samsung device is in XDA Developer now :D

Anyway, great stuff. This website WILL be the ultimate resource for the Windows Mobile (Or phone or whatever) community.

Oh and my vote would be for Xperia X2 and X10.

why?

1. Because we have plenty of user in X1 forum, i use to be one too before i change to rhodium, and lots of them are considering moving to X2

2. X10, well because android is exciting and its a nice device..lol :D

Keep up the good work folks, glad to be here :cool:
[About XDA developers] modry:
+1 for the LG Expo/IQ as well!
[About XDA developers] GraemeCR:
+1 vote for the LG eXpo (through AT&T).

Although I've never owned an HTC phone I've visited here frequently, wishing that my phone was represented. A former Motorola "junkie" for many years, I switched to the LG eXpo 2 months ago and would love to see it get more "eXpo"sure here.
[About XDA developers] svetius:
Are there any developers for the LG Expo out there? That's important if we're going to launch the forum.
[About XDA developers] jug6ernaut:
I for one am and will be a dev for the expo for some time to come. Myself and few other people have come forward as being interested in being devs for the expo.

i say interest because as of right now we can not make custom roms for the expo. We need a shipped/beta rom(not dump) to make roms for the expo because of how lg's rom files are constructed.

So right now development for hte expo consists of apps and tweaks. With that said i would say there are from 4-7 ppl who are/planning to dev for the expo right now, and this # will only go up ;).
[About XDA developers] AstainHellbring:
I'll dev for the expo too. Gotta find some way to make my expo capable of competing on some scale with my leo

Droid

How about the smart phone of the year according to cnet.com THE MOTOROLA DROID???
[About XDA developers] ratcom:
I would vote for a Milestone / Droid forum and judging by the amount of votes I've counted in this thread this would be in great demand. However by the same token I think the xda guys are very aware that a Milestone / Droid forum would put there servers under strain ;)
[About XDA developers] ratcom:
@quicksite that as got to be one of the best posts I've read in a very long time. :-)

Posted from my milestone
[About XDA developers] svetius:
We really appreciate posts like the one above (regarding a potential Droid forum). We are not ignoring the demands of users... and especially as a critical mass of developers ask for forums, we are happy to comply (eXpo, for example). This no longer has anything to do with server load... we can handle the load now, and we are at a point that if the site grew beyond our current servers, we could easily add more. This is not exactly a cheap proposition, but you are right--it doesn't cost $263,000, and the incremental donations and ad revenue from more users would get us where we need to be.

The reason we haven't added the Droid is exactly because we want to be known as THE site on the Internet for hacking/modding/etc. The Droid is so well supported elsewhere on the Internet... we were too late to the game. My guess is that a Droid forum on XDA would be second best (or third best or 100th best). If you disagree, we will listen to the other side of the argument, but our current bias (based on our experimentation with the Liquid, Omnia II, etc) is to add new forums in advance of new releases, so we can battle it out with everyone else to be the go-to site for a given device. I think that's a battle we can win given all the people who love and support XDA.

Thoughts?
[About XDA developers] ratcom:
Once again great post @quicksite, this sort of adult debate is why I love xda :)

@svetius - You do raise a good point about timing and I can see your point, indeed looking at some of the new device sections its not hard to see that alot of them have only a "few" visitors properly due to the fact that all the hacking work as been done already however with the Milestone (note I DONT mean Droid!) I would say this is far from the case.

We have a locked bootloader which is in need of being cracked before custom roms for starters and all the forums that support the Milestone in a hacking point of view are very scattered I can only think of 1 German based site which is full of ex-xda users and 1 English speaking which also is made up of ex-xda users.

It does feel at times almost like some of us xda children had to leave home and are wondering around the interweb trying to rebuild what we had here. Now I do take the point that the droid is well covered already but please have another look at letting your European brothers and sisters come back home ;)
[About XDA developers] raven2000:
I respectfully disagree.

The amount of talent XDA-Developers has no other forum/site has regardless of platform. I believe if Droid/Milestone support is added it is only matter of time before this forum becomes the premier go to site for Droid/Milestone.
[About XDA developers] OldManJames:
I also disagree Although i dont post here cause I only have a droid I do come here semi regularly. If there was a droid section on this site I am sure it would quickly become the goto site for droids. Right now there are 3 or 4 sites trying to be the go to site for droids and none of them are there yet. If XDA gets a droid site up now all the developers would want to be part of it cause it is the premier android modding site.
[About XDA developers] acidbath5546:
I would actually have to agree with you.

Since throwing my hat into the Android/Kernel world lately, I have noticed a change in my Forum habits.

I still love my WinMo Devices, and come here for everything Windows Mobile related. But with my Droid Eris, as well as starting to work with Motorola Droid, I find myself on over in other forums.

I think that it is far to late in the game to jump in a be 2nd or 3rd seat to other established Droid forums.

Perhaps that is my deep love and pride in XDA speaking.

I would like to see XDA take a far more agressive position on future Devices though, so that a circumstance like this doesnt happen again.

Just my 2 cents worth.

And thanks for asking for our thoughts, its appreciated :)
[About XDA developers] iWannaBeAdored:
Hey I think there should be a Motorola Droid/Milestone section because it is one of the high quality Android phones in the market and I think it is a shame for people to have to leave this site for information on the Droid/Milestone.

Site is great how it is though :)
[About XDA developers] ady:
I would suggest merging some forums and adding some new. In general, there shouldn't be more than two forums/device. One for devs and one for general public. It would make the whole forums more reconciled and less confusing. For now, we see posts scattered all over the place. Some of the devices, which have four forums, you see at least one of the forum completely empty and the rest having mixed stuff all over.

As per the new forum, I would suggest adding all the devices which are on the top right now. Definitely Milestone/Droid.

@svetius Ironically, Microsoft didn't update their windows mobile OS to make it thumb/finger friendly for the exact same reason that you are stating. Since they thought that they were #1 and adding nifty features that other smaller OSes have, would somehow degrade their position. You sure you want to make the same mistake?
[About XDA developers] Fallen Spartan:

This is at&t first "android" phone and they have done everything to bog it down. ppl like me who are stuck with at&t but hate the iphone and love android need help getting this phone to where it should have been. Also as a hopeful new dev I need as much access to this phone as i can get
[About XDA developers] GreepM:
Yes...there is great potential. Many people in mid and east europe have this phone. Please create galaxy portal/spica forum.

Thank U
[About XDA developers] ady:
I agree with your points entirely.

Also, the way things are going, Android will become a synonym with the word smartphone in the coming years.

It is time that XDA remaps itself. One idea is to add a new domain: Android.xda-developers.com and dedicate it to android. Keep it simple and straight forward with minimal forums so that efforts of hackers don't get divided between devices.

The time to do whatever is to be done, is NOW! It will be too late tomorrow.
[About XDA developers] mtechfan:
I just upgraded my X1 to an X2 and would love to see an X2 section as well :)
[About XDA developers] svetius:
Good thoughts, Chainfire, on the direction of XDA now with Microsoft giving the "royal shift" (haha, funny) to Windows Mobile developers as we know it.

We're hoping to be able to capture the momentum from hot new Android (and the remaining Windows Mobile) devices as soon as possible. We'll certainly try to latch onto WP7S, because I think the community can do a lot with it.

There have been a lot of requests for us to add older Moto Android devices (the Droid comes to mind), and we haven't done it yet because in our experience, while adding older devices may indeed create a somewhat active forum (as is the case for the Toshiba TG01 and Samsung devices), they lack the depth that we want to see that can only come when we put out a forum early. But of course, we're never close-minded about it.

This thread can be a good place for users to keep us Admins abreast of when new devices are coming out so we can act accordingly. I know the mods are always on the lookout for the next big Android/WinMo devices, so we're pretty well covered.
[About XDA developers] TheDeadCPU:
Hey guys!

So. The thing is that there is a whole lot of these Android Porting threads all over the place :p

And what if we could just have a little cleanup and make a "Android Porting Projects" subforum under Android?

It would really help the devs work together and notice each others threads and maybe help each other and so on!

Cheers,

TheDeadCpu
[About XDA developers] phhusson:
I approve (right I gave the idea :D).

Just one thing:

There are currently two completly different Linux ports, the vogue and co part, the raph and co part. I think we'd better not to mix them.

And Leo is likely to need a new one too
[About XDA developers] TheDeadCPU:
Yea probably, but the Leo will probably be an easy port, Doesn't it have the same specs as the Desire?
[About XDA developers] phhusson:
And raph has the same specs as HTC Dream :rolleyes:
[About XDA developers] TheDeadCPU:
I feel pwned..

Anyways, we really could need it, there is probably a lot more people that could help than we know :p
[About XDA developers] thorstenn:
Great idea!

If you want to be first please consider adding Sony Ericsson Xperia X10. Looks like it will sell pretty good so the fanbase will probably exist
[About XDA developers] Fitz:
+1 for a Xperia X10 Thread.

The phone will arrive end March / first week of April. It's also almost the same hardware as the desire so maybe xda can get sense running on the x10 (instead of other sites)
[About XDA developers] svetius:
We've actually already made several separate Android dev forums for several WinMo phones like Vogue and Raphael. If you find others in need, PM me!
[About XDA developers] svetius:
Anyone else for the X10?
[About XDA developers] TheDeadCPU:
What? There is no Android dev forum for the Raphael?
[About XDA developers] Fallen Spartan:

[About XDA developers] wakoinc:
Can we please get an Xperia 2 Thread?
[About XDA developers] phhusson:
Current android builds, for rhodium/topaz/blackstone/raphael/diamond(/kovsky?), are common, which means that when someone wants to publish a new of its new build, he sends it to the forum of the phone he owns, while all of the mentionned phones would benefit of this build.

And I think the current state is the same for niki/vogue/kaiser/others

And I have to point to this dumbass cheerleading article found on Slashgear:

Breaking Windows is a good idea

By Michael Gartenberg on Wednesday, Mar 17th 2010

It's the most shoe-horned force-fitted argument I have seen yet re Windows Phone 7. "It;s great for developers" is his thesis, followed by "It's great for consumers" they can get their new PC, their new windows phone, and Xbox, and all will woprk together" ... Read it , if you can: http://www.slashgear.com/breaking-windows-is-a-good-idea-1778067/

I checked: this author is one of those "agile industry, disruptive technology" "consultants". Here just try to digest this marketing-speak from their website:

** WOW, Partner Ray, wasn't this observed 20 years ago with the book "Megatrends"? How very agile of you to observe it today.

Is it any wonder one of their partners churned out that piece of crap about how great it is that WP 7 is disrupting the WM development ecosystem?

---

sorry for being off-topic... sort of. But while 95% of this thread is about "Mother may I?" "Please May I", 5 % of us are looking profoundly at the marketplace radical shifts of the past year and this year. And thus Chainfire is right. He echoes my sentiment of "why are dicking around like research students taking 2 years to peer-review a breakthrough-finding? " Is it that hard to make this decision: YES/NO on Droid. Or -- has it been made. If so, please state it unequivocally, and amend the forum topic to be "New Forums on XDA? (Note: DROID ruled out)

Motorola

Motorola seems to be adding Android phones that need extra help from developers.

1. The backflip, which is heavily modified by AT&T would be a great challenge for a developer. Also, there is another version going to Telus in Canada.

2. The Droid, the Verizon version and the Milestone, the GSM version. I bet the Telus Milestone is going to become more and more popular given that it is the only option for U.S. At&t users who want the "droid" experience.
