I am posting this only because I am sick, as many of us are, of searching through 10 forums/sub-forums, polls and bountys just to get the information on updates to Android running on our TP2's.
Please vote!!!
Doing this to hopefully get the attention of the mods.
bump
Any other takers?
I voted. I wish all applicable phone forum groups would have an Android sub-forum in them. It would surely clean up the forums a lot!
i definately agree that we should have a sticky for this, would make things much easier to have everything in one place, a one-stop forum for all that is android
87 page threads can be a little tough to sort through too. Hopefully having their own forum will allow them to decompress a little and let noobs like myself get a better idea of the progress without investing enough time to read war and peace. +1 for an Rhodium Android subforum.
no, I like searching in umpteen different places. 4 10.00%

There's never a shortage of wisenheimers on the interwebz.
I dunno this survey question seems iffy
I would definitely like this - there needs to be more threads for Android on Rhodium as things develop, and they need to be kept together. A sub-forum would fit the bill perfectly.
great idea!
I think a subforum would be a great idea...
You could say the same things for any of the more popular WM ROMs too though, e.g. threads with thousands of responses are out of hand and very hard to manage.

Yeah, what this guy said, + the Android sticky; [email protected]
I think what we really need is a mod to close all the Android threads. Then someone who cares about keeping stuff up to date (Read my vote as reefermattness) start a new thread.
I think it is becoming cumbersome to try to sift through all of the threads and post to see if anything has been updated on the XDAndroid project. It would help a lot to see it all in one sub-forum. It would help to clean up the other Rhodium forums also.
Everyone keep up the great work and keep showing all of our support for Android for Rhodium!
an idea whose time has come

I think bringing it to the attention of the mods may help things. Because there is so much development why not have a sub forum to weed through instead of getting it mixed up with the great Roms that are listed in this sub.

Exactly what I am trying to say.
stop being lazy and search/read
or you can go here for one stop information
Android 1.6/2.0 on the HTC Rhodium
just joking around with you guys. Also, just want to give you guys couple links that is working for me (the above and my signature)
i think it is still too early to request an adroid subforum...first get everything to work...then request it
since not everything works
anyway this subforum isn't called "wm rom development",but rom development..so it is totally reasonable that such threads go here
so please triplecheck before you request something...

Except it's not a ROM yet, so I guess it shouldn't belong here. And it's not an application so it shouldn't belong in the Apps sub-forum either.
So let's call it Android Development!

Imagine having to sort through a 797 page thread.... *cough* NRG *cough*
I do agree that we should have a subforum here though, because I never know where to look for TP2 Android port updates, and it seems like if i do find a dedicated thread, theres someone saying to check "the other thread" for more information on one aspect or another... It would be great to have it all in one place!
Not sure who this goes to, so I'll drop it here...
We really need an iPad section. There is a lot of potential, and people out there interested in Android and Linux and even ChromeOS development for iPad. This could really take off...
Discuss.

I meant here, I would really help XDA. It could really take off. The market is there, just Google openiboot, it's by hexxeh. It runs on iPad but people need to start developing on it. And plus, there's no big "iPad Development" section. There's an iPad subforum of Hardware, but most of the threads are closed, not much activity on that forum.

The reason for not having apple hardware on xda was partly due to trolling etc.
I think the best place would be iPD, given you can load your account in there too.
The issue is very few people get into hacking the iDevices, giving an appearance of not much going on...
If you think there is a lot of demand, pm NotATreoFan and see what he says, as he could add a section if demand exists

Load my XDA account or Apple account? Confused there...
Here's four links from a VERY quick Google search, aggregate but still, it's something.
http://www.redmondpie.com/android-on-iphone-4-ipad-via-openiboot-idroid/
http://thenextweb.com/mobile/2010/11/12/openiboot-could-soon-bring-android-to-ipad-and-iphone-4/

http://www.padgadget.com/2010/11/12/android-on-ipad-and-iphone-getting-closer/
I'll loop in NotATreoFan and we'll see what he says.
The decision to move all iOS-related hardware/software to iPhone Developers was made by the owners of XDA. If the demand is there, I can create a new forum over at iPD for this cause, and you can create a closed thread here linking directly to it.
As for the username suggestion by Pulser, he is referring to the fact that all XDA usernames are reserved over at iPD, so you can transfer your account and keep the same ID/pass.

You have to "register." When you click the register link, there will be an option to transfer your XDA account. Enter your user/pass in those fields, and everything will be moved over.

No one's demanding "master." lol
Does the symbolism of the word "development" in the forum really make a difference? Surely it is the content quality that matters more than the heading?
The iPad section looks fine to me. Make a thread, post what you have, get others involved.
When there is too much activity, and a separate section is needed, per
IMHO, does make a difference. Keeps it organized for one...for two, easier to find stuff.
I have to agree with Pulser here. If there is not a lot of activity in a "General" forum, why make a whole new development section for one or two threads. At this time, I'd say asking for a Development specific section is a little "demanding."
All in all, it seems you are more focused on the "titles" and "status" instead of the actual developing. I hope that is not the case, because that is outside XDA/iPD's "spirit" or "soul."
Start posting development stuff in General and if/when it gets popular and messy, we can make a new development section and move things around.

Okie Dokie.
So I'm interested in getting started with development on android, but not really apps for now. I would really like to make my own ROM, and learn more about rooting and finding exploits for rooting. I've looked around, but really haven't been able to find anything on these subjects, especially rooting. I would love to get involved on working towards a root for the evo but I have no clue where to begin. Can someone point me in the right direction?
you can start by posting in the correct forums
just a heads up

I dont know about rooting, but for development, you can start by reading up on java, and learn to use Dsixda's kitchen for basic development, also try to learn from other roms.
Dsixda's kitchen does not make you a developer. It makes you someone who can push buttons and repackage HTC's hardwork.
And yes, there's a forum for this, and this isn't it.

I tried the Q&A and didnt get responses, and I'd really like to work specifically with the EVO because that's the phone i have for testing, so i was trying to find someone else who works with the EVO. Thanks for all the help though
/sarcasm
I don't know where to start about developing but i found this amazing guide to theming. It kinda opened the doors for me.

the funniest part, is that he actually created a new thread for this to try.
Christ, are there any mods left keeping an eye on this forum? The repetition of inane and redundant questions combined with all of the trolls in here lately is growing very tiresome. Commenting in this type of thread is normally against my ways, but if someone starts a thread in the wrong section and someone has already told the OP where the appropriate place for their topic is, ignore the thread and move on. Ragging out a newbie for doing newbie things just makes the XDA community as a whole look like a bunch of asshats. Offer some useful information with a little courtesy so the newest members learn something. Help our community grow by teaching, rather than shrink it by tearing people down. And no, sarcasm and criticism are not effective teaching methods.
First of all I'd like to say thanks for adding the option to list our devices on our profile without having to use our signatures.
Now, onto the request. While adding my devices, I tested it to see if I could add a device which doesn't have a forum on XDA. (Even though I don't have the device, I tried to add the Micromax Canvas HD and it wouldn't add it purely because there's no for it here for it.) So, would it be possible to add devices which also don't have a forum on here?
I guess @svetius would be the best person to ask
+1 & Good catch. :good:

We're still deciding if want to do this. If we allow a wildcard, people can put whatever they want in there, even profanity, etc. So...file under "maybe". :victory:

I don't believe that would really be a big problem though because even though there's an obvious chance it could happen, the same could be said for Location but, from what I've seen, the most people use it for is Likes and Dislikes.
A way around it could be a database of all devices (both on and off XDA) and only allow what's on that list. Basically an extension of the current system. I realise it would be a lot if work to keep such a list updated though as lots of devices are churned out by lesser known manufacturers.

Haha, yes, I think we can say 5/6 years later it was decided not to add the ability to add a device that's not got a set of forums officially listed here. Aside from it being a way to state what devices you have it was also meant as a way to link other users to our other internal forums. The ability for folk (and there are always some) to abuse a system that allows wildcards was and is a concern too.

By the way, and it's no criticism just a hint, moderators are not always able to monitor each single post in order to capture such requests i.e. they might get "lost".
But every post contains a so called "Report Post" button, by which you can easily, fast and reliable alert the responsible moderation team for various reasons. This also includes requests to move a thread. Details are available here.
I know. But thanks anyway.
