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.

pls explain in detail what you mean
Hay dear....
I hope we can have a deeper discussion to explore the capabilities of the S8/S8+ camera, if any of you are able to operate the pro camera mode better yet. Let's post your shots and specify the settings.
Thanks
I'm afraid you didn't search after a similar topic as this before you posted. Because if you had done that, you would find this topic about the same: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/how-to/lightscameraaction-post-shot-s8-s8-t3592591
Thread closed.
Theres already a thread about this https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/how-to/lightscameraaction-post-shot-s8-s8-t3592591
Please search before posting.

Development is really important for me and for a lot of people. One of the most important reasons that bought poco x2 is I thought that it's a xiaomi phone and so it's gonna have great development.
MOD EDIT: CONTENT REMOVED
Not even a stable gcam.
The stock cam works better than the present gcam options for x2.
Hell, my 4 year old redmi note 3 with gcam almost gives this phone a competition.
MOD EDIT: QUOTE REMOVED
Agree

Hi guys,
I'm an experienced Android developer which also have started playing with Android ROM customization. However, I've limited experience regarding manufacturers and HW providers, so I hope you can point me in the right direction. I plan developing a very simple custom Android ROM to be installed in single-purpose devices owned by my company. The ROM will only be installed in those devices, and will not be offered to the public. We don't have any particular requirement for the device other than having a decent camera and at least 2GB of RAM.
With all that in mind, our top priority is finding a manufacturer which is open to ROM customization and provides official and stable drivers, kernel images and DTs, so we can work on the development of the ROM with best guarantees. Ideally, devices would be the cheaper the better (<150$). Any suggestion on where to start searching?
Regards,
pitazzo

Thanks for the suggestion alecxs, Fairphone is indeed a good option. However, it is out of our budget. Ideally, the model we are looking for should be below 150$

check list of supported devices. official supported by TWRP or LineageOS means requirements satisfied.
https://twrp.me/Devices
https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices
I'm very curious about this, and I have some speculations but wanted to ask the question to get a better understanding. I use BlissROM, and I'm not worried about a time frame or anything like that, I'm just genuinely curious. I don't know if the Kernel would change, and if it did I imagine it would mainly be for security upgrades or something like that. Since the Kernel is the interface for the software to the hardware, and the hardware hasn't changed, is it right to assume not much change there?
Then there are all the google services like framework, play services and the like. I would think those would simply be replacing the old with new, and what would be left is integrating any features that are new to A13. If there is anything more to it than that? I imagine custom recoveries would face the same issue that TWRP had for awhile on my device (OnePlus 7 Pro) until a build was released that handled the decryption for A12. Other than that what else needs to be done to upgrade a ROM in between versions like this?
