Thinking that the Development forum should be split into two
One for CDMA/LTE
One for GSM
Seems like that would solve the confusion and prevent potential bricks.

I have to agree, it's quite painful to browse to find the correct version of things for the phone you have.

I thought maybe I was a noob and didn't understand why they weren't splitting the forums. It seems like some GSM mods/roms/kernels work on the LTE, so you really have to go through trial and error to see what works?
Splitting would be far the easiest, though, unless developers have to maintain double the amount of threads which could be a pain.

If it's going to be split, it needs to happen sooner rather than later, just because of people posting threads that accommodate both as time goes on.

I use to have the incredible and incredible 2 and it was frequent to have roms made from the evo and other htc devices... doesn't mean I go to the evo forum for the rom. Even though you are right, the positives far out weigh the negatives here none the less.
Please do!

I'd have to agree. And as for things that work on both, the author can post in both sections. That way they can field questions separately between the two, instead of having people with different devices posting in the same thread. Surprised this hasn't been done already.
Rabble rabble rabble.
Agreed! It could definitely clear up some confusion, even though I assume most members here are pretty smart.
I don't agree. What to do with general development threads, radio independent mods, etc?
Why not just "tag" the threads with [GSM] and [LTE] (like some devs already do).

? I don't get your point. There are no general development threads. Every mod is made for a specific model, they're not both compatible.
Radios are not cross-compatible. LTE radios only work with LTE. GSM .. same thing.
[GSM] and [LTE] are too disorganized. With two forums it makes things more organized and eliminates the chance of flashing something for the LTE when you have GSM (and vice versa).
Also, this is the wrong forum to be posting this. There are two other threads about this, we don't need another one.

Agreed - a separate forum for VZW GN would be fantastic.
Some people have already asked questions about flashing mods and whatnot for a GSM GN on a VZW GN. It would be prudent to create a separate forum in my opinion.
I find it annoying as is to sift through all the stuff as is, with it mixed together, I can't think of how hard it will be to find stuff once development goes full blast.
separate forum is my vote.
We definitely need a separate forum.
If not separate entire forum, maybe separate subforums for LTE vs GSM, or something like mandatory thread tags that show up in the title (you have to choose GSM or LTE/CDMA right below the subject line and it gets prepended in brackets [ ]).

Please pretty please, mods?
yeop.. agree.. seperate forum.
Yep, I already got myself into all kinds of trouble trying to install the "search icon/menu icon" addon. Turns out, if you have the LTE version you lose your notification bar & all the bottom icons. I'll be far more cautious now, but I'm sure I won't be the last one to try and install the wrong version of something.
They should seperate it like they did for the Milestone / Droid, and have really just a seperate dev section for each phone but otherwise it was a shared thread.
Since the Verizon users will have different roms, I think its time to make two different sections for the Nexus. It will make it easier to browse and stop complications with new users flashing GSM roms and radios

You just called a forum moderator a troll....
@AllGamer: OP is saying that the development section should be split. So there'd be a GSM and CDMA forum. Kinda like how the Nexus S forum is set (I see you on there from time to time). Nexus S & Nexus S 4G.. 4G being CDMA and the regular forum being GSM. In my opinion, I agree... just keep the General, Q&A, Accessories and Themes & Apps the same. But just add another forum for the LTE version and move all the LTE material over there. That way, people aren't flashing the wrong thing.
Agreed, the forum is flooded again with people moaning about tiny little things like the screen or MTP etc., it's annoying having to see them all over again now the LTE version has been released..
Since most of the posts here relate to GSM Nexus, is there a forum for us CDMA owners? ive been searching for it and cant find one.

Huh? I wouldn't say a majority are related to the GSM Nexus...
Although some may think it'd help, it'd probably do more harm than good considering a LOT of the topics overlap between the 2, and model-specific threads are indicated in the title or 1st post. It keeps us from getting duplicate posts that would certainly crop up in separate General sections, and it gets more eyes on threads.
The Dev sections are separate, that's the only thing that matters.

Yep, this forum is for CDMA and GSM Nexii alike.
If you post a thread though, just be sure to clarify which Nexus you're referring to.
The only difference between the CDMA n GSM are
Different radios (CDMA has a LTE Radio), size, and one is exclusive to only one carrier (till sprint releases theirs )
Other than that its the same phone n 90% if the issues will be mutual

I hope that is the case, if labled with the right tag, we will only need to focus on that when looking at topics.

Don't forget (Americans often do) that there's also Rogers, Bell, and Telus, not to mention a few more in Canada.
Rogers, Bell and Telus use the AT&T I747. I'm not sure about Virgin, Mobilicity, etc.

Addendum: I really should say that Rogers, Bell and Telus use the I747, which AT&T also uses. I really don't like saying it's an AT&T I747, because it's not.
Personally, I will try and use [I747] on all my posts.

There's advantages to both ways. But I'm not sure that the average user base will be able to take advantage of this setup and NOT cause a cluster#$%@. Not to mention the tendency to repeat previously asked questions... with four times as many carriers.

XDA is about hacking devices, not discussing carriers. Don't forget that.
Go to a carrier-related forum if you want that.
I, for one, see this as a good change. Speaking as an engineer/developer.
Already we have 2 Off-Topic threads discussing this change. Don't complain about off-topic threads when you post in them.

Not really a good change, a step in the right direction, yes. But I for one only want to see Sprint related general/off topic posts when I come into the SGS3 general forum. That's why I ask for the tags. I mean that is a system in its self that needs to be used here ( I would love to see that happen). I'm just saying that makes it so much easier when scanning, and when you don't want to have to subscribe to all the Sprint related topics just to keep up with what your trying to focus on is ridiculous if you ask me.

Tho we wouldn't have to if we had separate forums. I know in the past there were several that would cross platforms from international version to US versions and that was great, but I think it's a bit confusing to do it like this and if you're going to label every thread with a carrier anyway, why not just have it's own forum??
It is what it is I guess.
Hey the other day I seen this phone at a Sprint store, some girl offered me a favor for a look at my SGS3 PB 32gb Sprint version, I said I didn't have it yet, but soon I will be able to flash it for that favor you offered

Is it just me, or do you guys find yourself checking out other carrier galaxy note 2 forums here on xda. Honestly I find it annoying jumping back and forth between the tmobile, verizon, att and sprint forums.I know there are subtle differences between the variants software wise but is it honestly enough to create 4 different forums? Alot of the tips and tricks, problems and questions being ask in these forums are very useful and relevant to other carrier galaxy note 2's. I just wanted to get poll and see if everyone else kinda feels the same way. If so, maybe we can get xda to consolidate...

That would be something the developer in the development section would point out. The same could be said of people downloading the internationals versions of roms on US devices or vice versa. When i had my g2 there were plenty of roms that were out for the US device that could not be used on the international (z) device. We still however had a combined forum since in most cases the devices were exactly the same. Same courtesy should be extended to this device.
I too think it's better to have different forums for different carriers even though the phone itself are very similar. It make it easier for people to find out updates that is through the carriers only or roms
Merge at least the i317(M) and T889 (potentially also N7105) General/Q&A subforums.
Having these two separate makes almost no sense.
No. It would turn these forums into the never ending

Keep it as it is. The adventurous can take a trip to the other forums.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
Can you believe that there are 7 separate forums for Note2 in XDA? I find myself typing "note" into the "Find Your Device..." field very often to see what models are available, and I actually sometimes visit AT&T sections. I don't bather visiting others because it's too cumbersome.
I think it is more like we should change the hierarchy of the forums; move (combine) all Note2 forums under the "Samsung Galaxy Note II" forum which is already there, but keep each variant (different models) into different sub-forums. We would have a separate dev sub-forum for each carrier plus a general dev sub-forum to cover universal matters, but a combined themes sub-forum, etc.

Development-AT&T specific

This makes it easy to navigate without too much clatter. We can also check the activity levels (i.e. post counts) of other Note's on one page.
Would be sweet if we had the choice to merge/collapse subforums of our own choosing for our own viewing pleasure. I know I'd merge the AT&T and T-Mo forums, so I'd view those as one for myself whereas someone else could view them separately.

Merge them, put GSM dev, CDMA dev, then if you really want within those have the carrier sub-forums. The sub-forums would be for things like modems. Accessories forum is already shared, if they collapsed all LTE note 2 sections to one device it would make life easier and devs would not need to have 3 or more threads for multi-carrier ROMs.
