[Q] General Android (and WinMo) Discussion...? - About xda-developers.com

Where is the forum for general Android (and WinMo) discussion? The general development/hacking forum says not to post questions, or they will be moved. Moved to WHERE?! Where are questions and general Android discussion supposed to go?

Are you looking for "Android Software and Hacking General" or "Android Software Development"?

Every supported operating system on this site has its own OS specific forum. In each one is a general forum where discussion or general questions can go. WP7 is the exception with an actual Q&A forum.
Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking
Windows Mobile Development and Hacking

Suggestion: Vogue android development subforum.

I think it's time there was vogue android development subforum, currently most of the vogue android posts go into one 400 page thread. While it was fine to do this initially I would rather keep that thread for kernel development.
Vogue has by far the most advanced android port, we now have quite a few developers and people are starting to post their own builds.
I see a poll for a general android porting forum and this is fine, but it wouldn't help vogue much since the kernel development is very device specific.
Thanks
This would be perfect. The 400 page thread makes it very difficult to find specific information on the project, and makes it especially difficult for newcomers to join in.
Definitely, yes

General/Development Android sections?

Hi there,
since this forum is not (just) about Windows Mobile phones but about HTC phones I have a question.
Where should I create general Android application/hacking thread? Not related to the G1, Sapphire nor Hero.
Development and Hacking is a great source for Windows Mobile hacks and tweaks but putting a Android thread here doesn't seem right to me.
Currently there are 3 Android powered devices on this forum. But how about general development stuff and applications?
general development is about general development and developing...not about WM development so it is totally ok to put android apps over there
i think we need to have a new device in the general disussion section for the mytouch3g 32b because the one for sapphire is getting mixed up and confuseing

Request for sub-forum: Omnia 2 Android Development

Can I request the Omnia 2 to have another sub-forum for Omnia 2 Android Development, like the one in HD2? This is because currently I don't think many Omnia 2 users aware of the presence of Android development on Omnia 2. It will also be easier for users to browse through instead of putting all the ROM development in one forum.
Omnia2Droid Project Thread @ XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=918778
I can confirmed that the project is a long term on-going project as the dev team has promised and now are working on porting of Android 2.2 and 2.3 for future development. Many XDA users has response positively for the threads so I think we deserved a new sub-forum (e.g different sub-forum for different OS development for HD2)

Why no dedicated surface forum?

Hello all,
I came to this forum because I purchased a surface tablet and want to share my experience with other people about this device. However, it's quick for me to realize that the surface section is under windows 8 development and hacking, which new users cannot post in unless he got over 10 posts. For any other device, there is usually a dedicated forum with general, Q&A, development and hacking sections. This allows new users to post in general and Q&A. For example, the nexus 10 which is also a tablet has it owns dedicated forum. So why do we have this biased treatment to the surface tablet?
Thank you.
I would add this request under the device request section. Actual development for the Surface (as a tablet device, not for Windows 8 RT applications in general) hasn't really picked up all that much which is why it is in a sub-forum. If/when it picks up, we'll be sure to add a forum.
I'm somewhat frustrated by this too. I'd like to add to discussions in the surface subforum, but I'm still a noob here. I don't have pedantic questions to ask, so I can't rev my post count in meaningless ways in other forums.
Perhaps someone could drop the minimum post count in that forum?

Forum titles, what's the difference.

There's an M8 Android Development forum and a M8 Original Android Development forum. Why? What's the difference.
There's an explanation at the top of the Forum in the header, with links to even more explanation, thus:
HTC One (M8) Android Development
Welcome to the HTC One (M8) development forum. This forum is used to find or discuss development on the One (M) phone, including ROMs, kernels, rooting, mods and more. Information can also be found here on converting a Sense model into a Google Play Edition.
This is a development forum, which differs from the HTC One (M8) Original Development forum in that discussion and items in this forum are for derivatives of stock ROMS, kernels or other materials, and the Original Development forum includes new work which is mostly original. For more details on Original vs Regular Development forums, see this post on our Portal.
