Can you make a development subsection for callisto 551 pls? there many sad users because we cant find good custom roms, mods etc.
Yeah great idea it's necessary. Please do it. xda team!
nobody is reading 550 section ? ;D
I've seen an actual place where you request new forums to be opened. You'll get a better response posting there. I don't know where it was though, sorry.

Been working on a build of CM7 - got my laptop back up and running and thought I'd tackle this. Last night I started the build and woke up this morning to this:
make: *** No rule to make target `vendor/samsung/c1-common/proprietary/BCM4330B1_002.001.003.0128.0162.hcd', needed by `out/target/product/galaxys2att/system/bin/BCM4330B1_002.001.003.0128.0162.hcd'. Stop.
Any idea how to get passed this? From the looks of it, I was close to the end of the build process
Thanks I appreciate any help...
Sort of got this resolved. Codeworkx simply stated its an issue of missing proprietary files. Ill have to copy them over which I'm not sure why they weren't in the first place...

Thread moved to General since there is no Dev work being made here... yet. If you happen to fix your issue and want to make a rom, then start a new thread in the Dev section with a link pointing to the rom.
Thank you and have a nice day.

Debugging a compiler error isn't development? Perhaps the so called development forums are becoming too focused on showing off wares, with little or no attention being paid to actually developing?
At first he was asking a question about decompiling. Since he answered his own questions, I threw it in General. Since he is not offering a rom/kernel/tool then this does not belong in the Dev section.
Thanks I guess.

Sounds like a developer question to me... perhaps the development forum should be renamed to Roms or something

Exactly, it is a question so it would belong in the Q/A sections not the development section. This stuff isn't new, read the forum rules. Quite simple to understand if you ask me.
The way I see it, its just red's opinion. He sees it fit in here then so be it, his opinion and we just have to live with it. Regardless its still all search able information.

Actually, it is not his opinion, it is xda rules. The only posts in the development boards, are posts discussing actual development. If the post is a question, it has no business being on the development board. Examples of acceptable dev topics:
Release of a new/updated rom
Release of a new/updated kernel
Release of a new/updated hardware specific patch
Release of a new/updated hardware specific app
*Technical * discussion of ongoing hardware /software development (rooting, bootloader, etc). Asking when root wil be available is not technical.
If your title for a post is in the form of a basic question, it does not belong in development, period.
I have to play devils advocate... but with the understanding that I'm doing just that and not really arguing...
I posed a similar question to Red in a PM. If I have a question asking how I can Retro fit Samsung propriatary shared libs into a new program I'm writing, or where I might find headers for those libs, where does that question go? Its certainly technical and development related... it also doesn't seem to fit in the q&a subforum (which doesn't seem to have any dev questions but is more general.)
Yet, its a question, and doesn't belong in the "development" subforum under a strict interpretation of the rules (which seems to say that the dev forum is only used to advertise mods, roms, etc)
Red suggested the q&a subforum. I disagree, but he is a moderator.
Not being sarcastic here, but perhaps we really do need new subforums for posting links to the result of development and allow the development subforums to go back to discussing that and other development. (Or vice versa) long ago when I first joined xda, discussing development was encouraged (and the primary purpose of xda-DEVELOPERS.)

I understand how you feel and would love it myself but at this point and time with the influx of Soo many non tech minded people that don't know the diff Between a normal question and a development related question that all questions are pointed to the Q&A.
has anyone used RomToolboxPro to change icons/batery icons/boot animations?
This forum is for posting Development projects only - ROMs, Kernels, Mods (but not Themes, there's a separate forum for them), not stock ROMs (they belong in General). Anything else will be moved or locked. Do not ask questions here, do not post requests here, they belong in General.
Thinking of posting a new thread???
Use the search button on the top bar
If any mod, including myself, finds new threads about topics that have threads already existing or [Q] questions in the development forums!
The thread will be locked with no notice and/or up to a temp BAN!!.
Mods, including myself, are not here to keep the forum organized after the fact, we need your help to keep it organized, clean and grouped.
To the dedicated members that care to keep this forum, subforums included, clean and organized and grouped.
Please start reporting threads to the mods to take action. Using this button.
Thank You and happy easy searching.

So does development for stock Roms belongs in general? Im confused. ( Im going to be posting something fairly soon. A mod for the stock ROM and dont wanna get slapped and have a message like that marking me as new here >.>
Please. Ignore my post if its clearly stated in the ToS. Im tired and need new glasses. Ill look at it more when my power supply comes and i can use windows accessibility.
I havent heard of anyone using it...however if you take a peek in the theme parent section you'll find a lot of talk about the Unofficial Theme Kitchen.

Hi all!
Does anyone knows why do we have to share forums with P,U,sola etc when other phones like htc one v or titan, se neo, x8 and other low end galaxys have a separated one? Even ion has one.. Can the S at least be separated along with sl acro s into a new forum cause its very confusing to navigate with so many Sola P U Tipo and miro forums..
Thanks!
Sent from my XPERIA S using XDA app
Because it was always S originally but as the others came out they just added to it.
I assume because the software is all very similar?

Not going to happen. If it was HTC Xperia S or Samsung xperia S, then yes. but its since sony...

Yes me too but I've read that acro s s and sl have similar hardware, while P U and others have different one.
Every crappy Sammy has a separated one and ion also and we nothing!

Hello Xperia users !
I understand your point of view. But instead crying out loud how about we take it on to ourselves in getting this forum organized ? Each & every member of this community should be help each other in getting the forum organized.
I have a few ideas & would request everyone to suggest a few of their own which if implemented to the word could help in organizing the forums & make it easier for everyone to access the relevant information. That's what everyone wants right, to have access to the right information ?
Let's make having a TAG before each & every thread which tells us about which specific device it has information/on going discussion mandatory/compulsory.
Some examples of the Tags could be:
[XS], [XP], [XU], [SOLA]/[XSLA], [XGO], [XAS]
Just politely inform the Original Poster (OP) of each thread to update the title of the thread to reflect the correct Tags, let's try to make this forum more accessible to everyone.
Even the official Sony forum is split in to handsets, although it lacks the enthusiasm and of here at least you can see what's what.
Blame Sony for releasing too many damn phones. Many of which are just too similar.
I don't blame the mods. If I was one I'd do exactly the same thing.
You think they don't have anything better to do with their time than create and organise forums for so many niche devices because Sony are losing their mind?.
If the brand is this diluted, why should anyone wonder if people loose respect for it and just lump them all together.
To be fair to the S, it deserves its own separate section because it has a lot of users. Far far more than the rest put together.
The rest can and should be lumped together

For me, it's not about the troubles of finding a particular thread [though it is a terrible mess] it's not seeing the thread in the first place.
Like this thread, only came upon it by chance, but the chances are slim with so many non-specific [to my needs] threads filling the first page.
I have no experience with running a forum, but as there are 30+ xda forums, why not a couple more..?

What is the need?Already development section is separate,only General ,Q & A and Themes & Apps section is same for all devices.
In Themes and App section,there may be max of 4-5 new threads per day.And most of the mods and themes are compatible with 2-3 devices.
In Q & A and General,users ask same questions again and again,instead of searching.With tags ,it can be easily accessed.
I don't see the need of forum division for now..
What we request is for more organized like other forum that's all brother

That's your opinion, sure, I find it messy and unorganised, it's also not pleasing to the eye:
[XperiaS]
[XPS]
[SXPS]
{XS}
All the same handset, but if you scan the forum with your eyes, all those above look like different models, so you have to read the word, then decide what it is before moving on. But hey, that's just my opinion but that's why I feel the need for a seperate forum.
Also, many old threads don't have these prefixes, so the device is unknown, for example:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599303
What phone is that for? How is that "Xperia S, P, U, Sola, Acro S, Go General" anymore? It's not...
just make it like this
S Acro S SL Arc HD
Sola P U and Go!
Tipo+Dual , Miro
Combine the Xperia J with old forum like the Neo V
T and TX together
V
Ion
First I want to be clear in this matter forum specific moderators like myself and cooleagle do not decide or control how xda makes device forums this is done by administrators. We just try to our best to keep what they decide in order and keep the peace.
Some of you who are saying things like posts from today are already on the 2nd and 3rd page already should have a look at a high end device forum like the galaxy SIII the general section has 4 pages of posts just from today. Even with 6 phones this forum does not generate the traffic of something like the SIII. The thing that some are losing site of is that xda is a developer's site and each phone for this forum has its own development section this is the information that should be the most important to our members. As we have already stated making subject lines that say what the device is critical to keeping the general and Q&A sections more organized.
If you are unhappy with the current set up then I suggest you go to the New Forum Request thread and post that you wish for a change but while you're there take a look at how many devices don't have any type of forums at all.

If you look at the threads with a sticky you will see that cooleagle has created a thread for general discussion for each device in this forum.
Maybe some of you should conisder creating an index thread like neectron took the time to do for the xperia themes and app section. If you few members would volunteer here to take one specific device and go threw the general section and find the important information and create a thread for it we could then stick those at the top of general as well or once completed cooleagle and myself could combine them into one thread. Just a thought for you guys and gals to consider.

Hi thanks for the reply.. I get that our phones may not have the sane traffic as SIII forum but again why does Ion have a separated one? I believe the S has more people than ion

Ok. I'm game. Please tell me how come. What have I done to deserve it? I've been here since June with no issues till today.
This is not a social media forum. It is a problem/solution/dev forum.
Now, after saying this....there is usually an "off topic" thread in each forum....you might want to try that.

Ok OP, Sir let me help you since you asked, Since this is a Development Forum these Sections are for that....Development.
Not for the threads you have been posting...I will ask you to stop this, Thank You.
