Hi All!
Do we need a sub forum for Linux / Android development for the HT2 now? The old thread in the HD2 ROM development sub forum is starting to become very cluttered. The amount of topics discussed in that single thread could definitely benefit from being split in many separate threads. I guess the information will be easier to find and the amount of "stupid" questions reduced.
I understand the need for cleaning up some of the sub forums here on XDA (that is actually the reason for this post), but I don't think moving thread out of their context is a good idea. The question asked in my post relates heavily to the ongoing development for the HD2, and will not get the right attention in the Q&A sub forum. People interested in (or having an opinion about) splitting Linux and WinMo ROM development does not frequently browse the Q&A forum.
This post is not of that type where I'm interested in getting a single clear and cut answer. The reason for posting the question is to hear peoples opinion, and maybe getting a discussion going regarding the subject. If I'm not totally wrong, discussion is what the other sub forums are for, right? If we are not allowed to ask questions in other forums than the Q&A, how are we suppose to be able to discuss and debate then?
Could any MOD pleas consider moving the thread back to a forum where the question would have a fair chance of getting some qualified feedback?
YES

100% with you , it will lessen the clutter and make the project look even more serious !!!
I don't think they're far enough along to really need a whole subforum for it. Maybe once we get a halfway usable version of android in a couple months, but for now I think the one thread is enough. I mean, how many different threads could be made for it right now? All we have is a bootable android with no drivers so far, so there's not many different things or subjects that could be made into threads right now.

I agree. Once the wheels are in place and we have workable drivers, then creating a subforum would be ideal.

Well, then we disagree
I think it should be locked so only the guys working on it can post

Right now one thread is fine, but when things begin to get underway we will need another subforum for alternate OSes for the HD2.

NO WAY is it fine take a look in there now and look how many pages been posted asking the same crap in like 40 mins n00b retards
maybe something like this could work in the future:
---HTC HD2 Android
--------------------Information (locked forum)
--------------------Questions
--------------------APPS & tweaks
No use the wiki for the android project not more forums
answer:No, I'm fine with the single thread in HD2 ROM dev sub forum.

i would be fine if it were a single thread, but it isn't, people are starting threads every few minutes 'why cant android run' 'how to install android' 'help, bluescreen' and on and on and on.

i agree 100% , of the 2898 posts there are probably 800 posts " i get a black screen "
Its all about whats hot now
6 months ago alot of posts were when is android going to be working on Hd2?
a month ago nearly all the posts were new cookie clocks
now there all blue screen, once its fixed and more stable releases are brought out the posts about this will drop down and the next new thing will be flooding the boards. its all about whats hot at the moment and in the future android wont be the hot'st thing
does someone have the code for the evo can it be ported over?
I believe the only chance is when the Legend or Wildfire comes out with 2.2 since the hardware is very similar.
Best bet is a Legend port when it comes (if it comes, apparently it's been discontinued on Bell in Canada?), since it has similar hardware and isn't an HDPI device like the Evo 4G or other 840*480 Sense phones.
Also, doesnt the [Q] tag indicate to you that you should post this in... questions and answers? We do have a dedicated subforum for that...

The legend would be easier. The WildFire has a smaller res screen, so porting it over would be a nightmare, as you'd have to redo all of the graphics to fit the Hero.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong !

The problem with posting stuff in other forums is that you never get a very good response there. Many people, especially devs and others with the technical knowledge to answer this question, would not hang out in the other forums. The dev forum is the only place where this question will get the attention it deserves.
This kinda proves that the forums here need a bit of a reorganizing.
Perhaps one subforum for actually posting ROMs themselves, and another for everything else. Splitting it into five subforums per device is pointless and just means that threads in the less busy forums never get noticed.
That question is too frequent...try to use the search tool before posting..
Moved to Q&A as not development.
Is there any way we can get a sub forum for the current ROMs being built? The developers sub forum is a little messy to sort through. Does anyone else feel the same way? I think a sub forum with just ROMs would be great.
No. You'll never know how hard it was to get this one to try to help you folks.

First what's the status of honeycomb coming to the flyer? What's your take on how Sense works? How do the native apps flow with regards to performance and productivity? For the price do you feel this is a solid 7 inch tab or an oversized phone that doesn't make calls? Honestly what's your overall take on the product?
Thanks guys and I'm looking forward to your input.
Peace and keep it up.

Get your answers here!
Completely wrong forum. This is for development and posting of ROMs, kernels, and similar tools. Why did you post this here? This should be in the "General" subforum. Are there are already several threads very similar to this, that will answer your questions.

I am a noob. Just got chewed out on another device forum right after I posted this. Sorry. Didn't quite understand the difference in where to put my posts. Won't happen again. Anyone feel free to close this thread.
Peace
I searched the i717 general forum for this, and nothing came up so I thought I'd post and ask. Right now I am running the Canadian Jellybean rom floating around (as I have an SGH-i717r) but I really dislike touchwiz, and the performance of this particular rom is kinda crappy.
So I'd like to ask the community what their favorite i717 rom is, and why, as a way to find out more about the roms that are out there and the communities experience with it.
I don't think this question breaks any rules, and as mention I didn't find a similar thread so if this is a violation of any rule, let me know and I'll delete the thread ASAP.
Just running straight up CM 10.1. Does pretty good, save for BT issues.
OP, no worries, but yes these type of threads, bring bashing from some Members...not saying it will happen in this Community, you will find this Community to be a great one, sometimes the troll likes appear and cause issues....
But I would say just try the ROMs for yourself they are all great....I can say that for a fact....I have tried them myself, just about all of them. Just read up in the OP's and give them a test...
Thanks.
