Would it be possible to have a section created for the samsung showcase? I know it is almost identical to the fascinate, but roms and such are different and it would be great to have our own section like the samsung mesmerize.

Hi mods / admins.
Would it be possible to get a new dedicated forum for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1v? The current "Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1" (no 'v') forum is a horrible mess of confusion and misunderstanding.
This happened because the 10.1v (which we don't have a specific forum for) is about to launch in a couple of days but the 10.1 (which we already have a forum for) is still a few months off.
Once more details are out about the 10.1 (no 'v'), it might make sense to merge the two if the hardware is similar enough that ROMs are interchangeable, but at least for now, it would be nice to have a dedicated 10.1v forum which won't be flooded with preorder chatter coming up to the 10.1 release.
Cheers,

Hi Mods. Please delete this thread. Svetius created us a new sub-forum.
Cheers!
svetius,
This is in regards to the request for addition of a forum for the Nook Simple Touch. I understand that there are a large number of forums already. Forum management is getting harder, and that you must pick and choose for popular devices.
You said that you're gauging for popular interest, and there may not be enough by your reckoning to warrant such an addition. But would it be possible to add one or two subforums into the existing Nook Color forum instead? The existing mod(s) can oversee them, and it wouldn't add any more to the overall forum count.
In fact, it may be a good idea to allow more subforums for devices from a single brand, like the Galaxy Tab 8.9, or the upcoming 2nd-gen Galaxy Tab 7. There's more synergy, because existing users can better help out the new users. And there's less administrative work on your part.
Please, give this some consideration. Thanks for reading this, and thanks also to all the admins and mods for making this place available for all of us.

Not a bad idea. This is something like what we wanted for the galaxy s phones. Now there are 5 sub forums for what is basically the same phone. Could have done something like the touch pro series where you have GSM dev and CDMA dev.
Good idea especially for brands with few devices : it could be possible to make a general forum for the brand with subforums dedicated to each device and maybe other general subforums.
It could also be useful for devices that are very similar ...
This would also work well for the likes of the Xperia Neo which lacks it's own forum but is similar enough to the Arc that the two could be combined.
In fact, the likes of the Xperia Play and the up-coming Xperia Ray and Xperia Pro could both be added to a combined 2011 Xperia forum, they've all got pretty much identical hardware.
In the past, I suggested that Nexus devices deserved their own forum grouping. I was told that this was an end-user perspective, but this forum is meant more for the developer perspective. I totally get that, which is why I'm now making this new suggestion.
The Galaxy S4 subforums are a mess. You have the i9500 and i9505 under the same listing, but they have different hardware. Thankfully, you've separated them within that group. However, the i9505g has no subforum. People are making random threads about this phone on most of the S4 subforums (I have to check the unlocked, T-Mobile, and AT&T variant forums at a minimum). I see a few potential solutions to this. The first is to give the i9505G its own subforum. Due to the partitioning, it does have its own issues with development (you currently cannot flash a Touchwiz ROM to the GPe due to smaller partition, but a GPe ROM can be flashed to a TW variant but with less user available storage). Due to this, many ROMs (if not most) cannot be ported to the i9505G, so it should not be discussed in the same areas as the other models.
Another solution would be to take ALL of the S4 variants, and group them within two subgroups; Exynos and Snapdragon. The Snapdragon subgroup could have the development subforums for all of the carrier variants. As it stands, these phones all have the same hardware with the key differences being radio firmware. In many cases, ROMs made for one can be flashed with no changes to another.
In conclusion, the current Galaxy S4 forum situation is difficult for i9505G users, but it's also a mess for development due to there being so many sub forums for identical hardware. At the very least, it would be nice if you could give an i9505G sub-subforum under the i9505 (due to model number) or T-Mobile variant (due to same hardware/radio firmware). Regardless of your decision, thanks for your time in reading this.
I was actually looking to ask get separated both i9500 & i9505 one.
I think we can consider to merge with same hardware. Like i9505 & i9505G.?
BTW, we have dedicated thread here for [All XDA Members] Requests to Moderators and Admins & [All XDA Members] Feedback/Recommendations for XDA
As you are pointing a great idea, you must use above ^ ^ mentioned threads.
