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.

hello guys im over new here
i knew that this forum has many gr8 roms for SGSIII i9300 therefore i joined the forum
but i have a small question
i went to dev section and found a rom and tried to post a reply it asked me to post the reply after 10 minimum posts, idk where to post them so i refered to this section for help, then i found another post saying why is that 10 minimum posts rule is there and the replies were due to noops who ask irrevelant questions and so on, but in my case i have been in many forums before and no such rules is found in them, so my question is why this rule is there where i have nothing to say in Q&A section, am i forced to post in this section or what exactly to be able to post in other section like dev section and thanks a lot in advance and thanks for creating such a gr8 forum

if I understand well, the dev forum is for development (dev ), at least that was the initial idea, hence asking questions in ROM threads is sometimes not seen productive (therefore the Q&A section) by the dev as he losses the overview and might miss dev related posts. hence the limit .

All answers can be found by coming in through the front door, reading the rules and taking time to familiarize yourself with the forum. It is a huge forum with several million users and the rules exist in order to keep things orderly.

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.

Obviously nobody reads this, pretty poor on xda's part with not replying to our requests. Not asking much.
Absolute ridiculous this xda behaviour, this phone already launched globally as POCO F2 and chinese version have 2 months old and still no forum...

@gazza1888 Hello, and good morning. I hope you don't mind that I don't reply to your PM but post here. I'm not an administrator but a moderator i.e. new device fora are above my pay grade. However, I've read all the requests in this thread for that device that I personally don't know. As far as I know it's not available in my country and I believe not in Europe at all. As such I'm personally unable to assess it's popularity. In the other thread, you're complaining that nobody reads you post but you just pinged me in the middle of the night.
And despite all the different time zones, if I or any other of my moderator mates are mentioned or quoted we'll certainly read what is posted. If we aren't pinged please do not expect that we scan every of the currently 35.5 million threads if a moderator has been addressed.
Regarding the request for this device I can only refer you to the OP of this thread. Allow me to quote it:
Please post all your requests here.
The forum admins choose new device forums carefully, based on several factors. There's no guarantee your device will have a forum created here, but feel free to posts your requests in this thread
Please do not send me a PM asking for a forum to be added.

Hi, the device is released in China as the k30 pro and Globally as the Poco f2 pro so it is a pretty popular device, I am not aware where you are located and sent this to you at a reasonable time from the U.K. My apologies this came to you during the night as that was not my intention. I appreciate that this might be above your pay grade, so could you forward this onto however can look into the matter and consider the section on XDA. Users have been asking and posted the requests in the correct and relevant forums. The posts are being ignored and no feedback is given.

Thanks very much for your feedback. I did not complain that you pinged me in the middle of the night; that happens quite often on a platform that is used worldwide. But just 75 minutes after your post you stated this:

I personally think it's the wrong conclusion if you take possible different timezones and personal habits into consideration. Actually for this reason, we ask in the XDA rules for a 24 hours span before a post or question is bumped.
I fully concur that you and others have made the request for a forum in the absolutely correct thread (here). I'm convinced that our admins have noted each one of them but nowhere a promise is given that a forum will be created.
I tried to search for already created threads regarding this device, and I wasn't really successful. A place where such threads could be created exists and is heavily in use for all the devices that don't have an own forum: Android Development and Hacking and its sub-fora for guides, tipps, questions, development and much more. Activity could certainly support the establishment of an ET and maybe in turn of a full device forum.
Hi all, I have a k30 pro zoom edition for 4 weeks right and I am surprised that there are not any dedicated resources. Aside xda that seems to ignore this device do you know about other resources?
Cheers

Not everywhere available, but it has been announced and shops are slowly offering them and the chinese variant is available since like 2 months, which is basically the same phone under different name.
And because it is the successor of the Pocophone F1 and at the same time the K20 Pro it's pretty weird that the xda stuff didn't hear about it, because it's quite popular.
Great phone the x3 was but just too many bugs. Gone back to my F2 pro

don't know why did you move from flagship f2 pro to mid tier x3 ?
it got updates and I don't have bugs on x3.
