I just came over to the Nexus from the Evo 3D, and I can't help but feel that having separate CDMA and GSM development forums would be nice. It seemed to work well for the Evo 3D, anyway. Any reason it hasn't been structured like that for the Nexus?
If this is a duplicate thread, I apologize. I haven't had luck searching with XDA app.

They are split.

They're already split, man.
It would be nice to have a Q&A forum, also - you know, for like questions and answers... :/
Pro thread.
good day.
Balls. Sorry, in wading through the full forum list on the XDA app I didn't realize they were already split. I was looking for forums named in the same fashion as the EVO 3D section (i.e., "...Development (CDMA)" etc.), which was dumb of me... fail.
Mods, feel free to delete this useless thread.

Ya they put the "CDMA" part at the front. If they don't show up, you have to clear data in the XDA app then re-launch it.

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

Agreed. The build identifiers are too cryptic, and similar, for beginners to make heads or tails of without pouring a BUNCH of time into the forums.
Agreed, the Nexus S forums was set up this way as well.

There should be a seperate lte and GSM forum. If you break it up more than that, we will see less development for our devices.

Yup, just do it like the Nexus S did.
Common General, Accessories, Q&A, and Apps/Theme forums but separate the development forums to LTE and GSM.
Would save a lot of bricks and headaches.

@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..
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!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
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.

Why are we not getting any admin response to what majority of the community wants? What are the pros on cons? I'm no pro but maybe the admins know why there isn't one yet..
Can we have just a mod section? I know most of you will probably say just use search. I got it, I'm a bigger supporter of dumb question being searched before being asked, but I think it would be less clutter in the themes and app section and keep development to ROMS, kernels, and modems. Magee things a little simpler when looking for mods. Plus when I use search using my xda app it search all topics. Just a thought.

This is not the place to ask this.
You would be better off asking in the "about XDAdevelopers" forum and look for the thread titled "requests from users to admin and mods" (or something like that)
Since that is the correct place...you may even get a response from said mods or admins....who knows...they may even implement your request...

Seems like the general section is filled with too many questions which should be in the Q & A and topics about accessories which also has its own section. Most the other sections on XDA I have been a part of had been stricter on this and moved a lot of threads to the appropriate sections which helped clean up the clutter.
The forum clean up helps users who want to avoid these topics and also users who want to do a search within the appropriate area. Its better for everyone.

If you want to avoid certain discussions...then don't click on them just to complain as you have. While you may feel this forum is cluttered some as opposed to the developer forums...others like myself don't. This isn't a place where people have to be a hard ass...it's the general section...not the developers section...and calling out the mods to move or merge topics just because you don't happen to like them is what gives this forum a bad reputation...

Hows it give the forum a bad reputation? Things like this drive others away and make it harder to navigate and do searches. I dont click on stuff I dont want to read. Every other XDA forum I have been a part of has been really good on putting things in the right sections or mods helped clean them up by moving them to the appropiate section. Why should this phones forum be so different? If your arguement was valid there wouldnt be sub sections for these topics.
Use the report option. If a thread is in the wrong section or a duplicate thread report that a mod close it or move it.

You know I'm sick of seeing this. If people post in the wrong section start complaining to the xda admin! Instead of adding another absolutely useless "wrong section" post. There is a Verizon galaxy nexus dev section, a sprint galaxy nexus dev section, and a Samsung galaxy nexus dev section. But 1 Samsung galaxy nexus general section. It's confusing to people especially newer users, so instead of posting another useless wrong section post go complain to the mods and admin, they created this mess

Any forum clearly labeled as "development" (such as this one) is for releasing ROMs, Mods, etc. Not questions or general discussion. Its really not that complicated. And I think thats what irritates a lot of people. And this is a boot animation, which actually belongs in the theme section.

Yes you are right, but all I'm saying is it's equally irritating, to me anyways, to see "wrong section" all the time. For some people its just an honest mistake because it is somewhat confusing. They see 1 section for Verizon Galaxy Nexus, and they have a Verizon Galaxy Nexus so that's where they put it. The way the sections are labeled people who don't know better think that every section except the ones labeled "Verizon" and "Sprint" are for the GSM Galaxy Nexus. If the general section was labeled Galaxy Nexus (all) or something along those lines it would be more understandable when people get frustrated for wrong posts being in a dev section.

I get what your saying. And I can see how people could get confused. But I dont know how else the Moderators could do it. I actually think putting (all) after forum titles might confuse some people too. Pointing out that they posted in the wrong thread though is mainly meant to prevent them from doing it again. Not to scare them away from the forums. And yes, it doesnt have to be (and shouldn't be) pointed out in a rude way.
Lmao that is the stupidest animation ever! Google never mixes the version in with their boot animations.
I hope the final version is much more professional looking.
