Hi,
I would like to propose the creation of a central reference thread for each sub-forum within the X10mini/pro fora.
They would contain rules, how to search, basics, FAQs, links to rooting, tutorials/guides, mods, themes, apps,... with respect to the respective sub-forum.
To get an idea check e.g. Hero CDMA Android Dev.
This will hopefully
-help organizing the fora more clearly
-prevent the same questions coming up all over again
-provide a useful pool of up-to-date information for both new and experienced users
-reduce everyone's need to search for fundamental things
-negate the need to otherwise sticky so many threads that the fora are just becoming unclear and clogged
You would be responsible to propose threads kept for future reference.
Opinions pls.
Thx and Best, DK
i think we have a thread like the CDMA thread made by dettofatto. the only thing is that we have multiple threads on same topic which could be deleted
just checked them briefly and yes, very good and helpful, not stickied though
so referencing them would be a must but imo wouldn't contradict my proposal about the central thread...
still, that's just me and its about you...will therefore patiently wait for further comments on this
Ed. I can add a poll if you think that's more helpful/faster
Sounds good.. and while we are at it.. get people to stick to the threads.. put all Themes in the Themes and Apps thread (not in Development) keep DEV stuff in the Dev Thread etc.. perhaps add a Newbie Thread where newbs can ask for help with issues so they don't fill the other threads...
Why are there Themes in the Dev section?
But yes a reorg is needed.

My concern is create two separate forums for x10 mini and x10 mini pro

unfortunately happens regularly, excuses are manyfold and it would be naive to think this project will prevent it
still should be well worth the effort
cleanup and heavy thread shifting will be done anyway, already started but due to time restriction only on the dev fora...but will be continued

I assume you mean for all subfora and not only for dev?
are accessories, t&a and so on so different that one cannot be used for/is incompatible to the other device?
then I would talk to admin, so pls enlighten me
I think that is fine and useful to put all important sw,updates and guides in same thread and link discussions only to this thread, of course then each sw has own discussions for help and experiences.
I would like a forum reorg
i also think that there are too many simillar threads, some that are just questions and are very missleading sometimes, also in the wrong place, maybe a structure like
*general
--tutorials/findings/configs/etc
--questions
*developement
--e10i/u20i
---->findings/breakthroughs/tutorials
---->questions
--e10i specific
---->findings/breakthroughs/tutorials
---->questions
--u20i specific
---->findings/breakthroughs/tutorials
---->questions
*themes
--method tutorials
--themes postings
--questions
*requests
or something like that because a reorganization is in need
also i think that there should be a section for both mini and pro because they may be different in hardware, but many methods, apps and ideas frome one work on the other and i feel that sometimes we miss out on developement from one or the other
hi
thx all for the contribution, I waited some time hoping additional ones might be posted, but maybe all are happy with the current suggestions...or waiting for my response...
lets comment:
all devices get as default the layout
xx General
xx Development
xx Accessories
xx Themes & Apps
device specific we have the known two dev fora, one for e10i and one for u20i and I don't think I can convince admin to create another one for shared development
not that I don't see the potential advantage, but I assume "misuse" would dominate so I'm fine as it is
still I also considered it wise to provide a place to collect development results of any kind usable on both devices
so alternately you have to specify dual usage in the thread title and we can also create an additional thread with references on that
reaching certain criteria a separate Q&A can be added, which I personally like very much and will address to admin immediately when a fore mentioned criteria are fulfilled
so as mentioned we are bound to the general forum layout, but what we might achieve could be like this:
*general
---->tutorials/findings/configuration/requests/FAQs/troubleshooting/references/how to/etc
---->e.g. separate thread like "newbies questions here"
---->OT chat thread if you like
*accessories
---->all accessories (batteries, cases, screen protection,...)
*development
--e10i specific
---->development (non app, non theme)/findings/breakthroughs/tutorials/roms/guides/modifications
---->reference thread for everything proven working/usable on both devices
--u20i specific
---->development (non app, non theme)/findings/breakthroughs/tutorials/roms/guides/modifications
*themes and apps
---->method tutorials/themes postings/applications posting/screen shots/miscellaneous (like splash screens,...)
*questions&answers (hopefully soon)
---->for all the rest (when available)
not stating this is finalized but it should give a good idea
comments pls
Cheers, DK
Reorganize! Hellyah!
Reorganize! Hellyah!
I intend to start this weekend, because I won't find the time before, but it's scheduled...
sounds really good!
maybe creating at the theme section a difference for mini and pro, or does the most of them on both models?
I would like to see a Q&A section. It would be nothing but beneficial as a place for people to ask questions without cluttering the general thread.

I already requested it, it will be available as soon as site admin finds the time
I figured that, just throwing my .02 cents out there.

Hi Folks!
My name's Justin, I'm your newly-appointed Forum Mod for the HTC Rose. It's a pleasure to be here, and I'm happy to assist you in getting the most from this Forum.
Just a few things to keep in mind:
Please have a quick look at the Forum Rules whenever you get a chance.
Please treat other members how you would like to be treated and please post in the correct sections.
For the Development team to thrive, the development section needs to stay clean and tidy. Please make sure you post in the correct sections, and give us the heads-up if you see anything out-of-place, abusive, condoning warez etc.
Only ROM Development, Hacks, Mods, Fixes, Reference, and Tutorials go in the Dev Section
All Questions and Requests should go in the General Section.
Please no 'for sale' threads in any section. Use the Marketplace.
Also, if you see any thread that is in the wrong section or if you see any questionable posts/content, please don't hesitate to click the report (!) button.
Feel free to message me if you have any questions, comments, or issues pertaining to this forum.
Thanks in advance for your help and most importantly, have fun!
!!!!
http://www.xda-developers.com/contact/ Maybe look there instead of clogging up the Android Development forum with unneeded threads..
Does it really matter? I can't see any problems with how it is currently ... Plus, even if there was a specific Ray forum people would still continue to post stuff in the development section when they are asking questions or for feedback which, Imo, is way more annoying.
Please Note:Besides the currently sticked threads there will be absolutely no permanent stickies created in the HTC One X+ Development forum.
There will be a temp sticky that will get replaced on the next request, the previous sticky will go into the Roll-UP ThreadThis thread will list and link to all threads worthy of being "stickied".
Please leave your suggestions for new threads [with the thread link please] to be added to this list below and a moderator will attend to this as and when necessary.
* One X+ Development List | Roms, Kernels, and More.
* [30.11.2012] Jelly Bean firmware collection for different Carriers ID (CID)
* Current Roms AT&T and International
Have a nice stay!
HTC International Moderator Team
Hello all,
As you can see we did some maintenance in this forum.
Rearranged Sticked Threads.
Our goal is to eventually do this with all HTC International Forums Upcoming for sure and when enough spare time older devices.
The reason behind it is to get some consistency across our sections.
Makes it easier for ppl to find Real Important Device Essential Stuff
And of course all other sticky worthy threads.
The Setup will be like this.
1 Moderator announcements/rules.
2 Core device essentials sticky with RUUs, Recoveries, Radios, Firmware etc.
3 Sticky Roll-Up thread
4 One Temp sticky if sticky worthy, on the next sticky worthy request the old sticked goes into Roll-Up
5 Spare Sticky for whatever important thing pops up (bricks / other device damaging serious warnings)
The 4th sticky is there so everybody can gets his/hers fair change to get some stuff in the spotlights.
The procedure is merely there to avoid questions like "His got sticked,why mine is not?"
But we as Moderator team do think there should be a limit of 4/5 Sticky Threads to keep it clean and organized etc.
Of course this is somewhat a trial and we are willing to finetune it based on members input.
But so far i think its a good attempt to get HTC International Forums Organized and hopefully it reduces the unnecessary questions
What exactly is the purpose of this area if you all dont mind me asking and i know its a question but which area should this go into

More or less a Sandbox of questions that don't fit in other categories.
I'd say general is for basically just talk in general about the device maybe plans for certain things development wise, off topic talk with a partial regards to the device whether it be direct or indirect... Obviously Q&A is for specific questions, Android Development is for development based on Sense and stock ROMs, ports, mods, hacks, and Original Android Development is for source built ROMs (aosp), device tool packages or as posted already "super" tools, root, s-off, unlock, that are original built and or packaged by the OP/person/developer that has created the thread, if the OP is posting someone elses work ported over to our device MUST be in Android Development as it is not original... Also must give proper credits where credits are due!!! Hopefully that breaks it all down for you and sums it up
Thanks, i just dont wanna get closed topics and cause noob issues lol

Someone needs to have a look at the XDA Forum Rules if they haven't done so yet. When you do, you will notice item 15:
15. Keep threads / posts on-topic
Whilst a minor amount of off-topic posting may be overlooked, the general rule is that your posts / threads must be relevant to the Forum / thread in which you are posting.
General Forums - For news and announcements relating to your device.
Q&A Help & Troubleshooting Forums - For all question / request threads and posts. If there is no Q&A Help & Troubleshooting forum, use the General Forum of the relevant device
Accessories Forum - For posts related to accessories relevant to the device
Development Forums (ones with the word development in the title) - For Developers to post release threads e.g. ROMs and Kernels including modifications to kernels, bootloaders, ROMs, etc.
Themes and Apps Forums - For the posting of Themes and / or Apps as well as announcements & discussions including modifications made to Themes and Apps.

Also if you have a look at the main device homepage, you will notice that each specific subforum also has a description.
One Max General
Discussion about the HTC One Max (general, tips & tricks, etc)

Just a quick extra note on this. We have sticked guidelines on what can be posted were here:
