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...

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.

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.
At the moment there are 3 normal user titles I am aware of:
Junior Member
(Something I forgot)
Senior Member
I think that xda should make some more, and make them more relevant to the theme of the forum.
Also, if we could have custom user titles, that would be great!
Already been posted...perhaps Search practice might be useful?
XDA Search Video
juzz86 said:
I'll sum it up for you (or try, anyway!)
There are Junior Members, Members, Senior Members first. These make up the vast majority of XDAs userbase.
Recognised Contributors are nominated by other users and/or Mods/Developers. They are recognised for their contributions which are not specifically Development, such as detailed guides, one-click utilities and other tools/mods.
Recognised Themers are also nominated by users/Mods/Developers, for their work themeing custom ROMs and providing standalone themes for flashing.
Recognised Developers are nominated and approved by the Developer Committee, for their work in Development whether it be ROMs, Root methods, bootloader unlocks etc.
Elite Recognised Developers are again assessed by the Developer Committee, and are deemed to have gone above-and-beyond in providing knowledge/hacks/tools/apps/ROMs for the XDA community.
Forum Moderators are appointed by the Moderator Committee, after submitting an application (see the 'sticky' at the top of this forum - currently applications are not open). They are the first-line of keeping the forums tidy, friendly and orderly.
Senior Moderators are the next step up the ladder, providing site-wide support for Forum Mods and looking after the nitty-gritty issues, as well as areas of XDA not policed by FSMs, such as the Marketplace.
Administrators are next. There are several Admins - each look after a specific part of XDA such as the Portal, the Members and the User Experience of XDA as a whole.
At the top is Mike Channon, who is overall Forum Administrator.
Other titles you may come across:
Moderator Committee - sits on the Mod Committee
Developer Committee - as above, but for Developer Committee
XDA Newswriter - publishes articles for the Portal (front page)
Retired xxxx - have since officially 'left' their XDA position
Hopefully that clears most of them up for you
Contrary to what a lot of people expect, the thanks-meter does not figure at all in determining a users tag.

That wouldn't really do anything useful honesty. The titles we have now are just fine an serve their purpose perfectly.
Also adding new titles would drive the mods nuts, having to decide who deserves what an why. Then having to remove titles from people who abuse it.

there is no reason for anything beyond senior member because with anyone who has made 500 posts the thank count is more useful anyways...
although maybe something thanks based...
like after the title for every bar
ex Senior Member IX, Junior Member II, Member IV, etc
just a cool idea for IF admins are going to add/change titles and/or the titling system
It's been brought up before and the admins don't want rampant posters driving their count up just to get unique titles.

Please answer me this question. I have been looking at the request device thread and it appears that only popular devices are only being added and no one cares of the request device thread. These are the most common i see on the thread:
ASUS Padfone 2
LG Escape
LG Optimus L9
Acer S500
Other Acer Iconia series
Motorola RAZR series
Now for my request is the pantech burst because we have a forum that is just getting way too cluttered http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1487576 I have submitted a request for this device three times now. For development: we have a rooted Gingerbread, a rooted Ice Cream Sandwich, three custom roms, have Clockworkmod recovery, AND working on getting CM10, AOKP, and AOSP working. We are very close to getting CM10 to work as a daily driver. Infact here is the link to how the progress is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1818618
I extremely find this outrageous that the popular devices get one and very "unpopular" devices dont. I never see people carrying a Samsung Galaxy Player (proud owner of one) yet it has it's own forum.
One thing you need to understand is that this is a development site. As that's the case, of course newer and more popular devices will have a forum added for them because they have a lot more interest so therefore devs are more likely to develop for the device.
If a device has next to none development, there'll be less activity from the developers and that generally means less people will be interested in the device.
What would you suggest? XDA add a forum for each request that comes through?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD
No not that. I just find it outrageous that no matter how many times you post in the new device request forum, they will not listen. Many people in that thread requested for the asus padfone 2 and im pretty sure there is plenty of dev support for the device. If there is some dev support like the burst i think it deserves its own device thread. I mean really, we are so very close on cm10 and yet no forum. The only thing not working is the data and wifi.

Explain how you would decide which devices had a forum created for them then. Obviously you feel that the current system isn't working, so what do you feel would work?

Obviously the current system doesn't work for the end users nor the developers of lesser known devices. I own one of the most requested devices ever at one point and we don't have a forum yet. (Samsung Galaxy Relay T699) I would suggest taking any device that has a recognized developer working for it that is willing to moderate and implementing a system based on that. I would also suggest greater grouping of similar devices using sub-forums. It's too bad that this site's code doesn't allow for the use of tagging by subject or group, as that would help. Its not a simple solution as new devices drop every week it seems, but I maintain that a device so similar to the GS3 should have a forum lol.

If XDA was to add a forum for every device which has got a bit of development going on, then a load more moderators would be needed, OR the workload of the current moderators would be at the point where they couldn't truly moderate.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD
Thus the part about letting the developers take responsibility for moderating their own device(s). Apart from hosting and storage limitations I wouldn't have a problem with each device having a forum, but honestly at this point there are probably 20 devices back in legacy that could be moved and merged and open that space up. The way I see it - admins are rapidly becoming elitist.
What would the problem be with more moderators anyway? I constantly see people in Miscellaneous Android offering to moderate the (nonexistent)forum for their device if that's the issue.
Sent from my SGH-T699 using xda-developers app
I truly think the system is fine but the moderators seem to not take the time to view the devices thats being requested and see if the device deserves a forum. E.x. samsung galaxy s3 mini, you never see people carrying that device but it automatically gets a forum. The pantech burst is att's first LTE phone and it is still being sold for $1 USD and for $120-150 on ebay, maybe even more. All what i ask for the moderators is to look through that forum. If they cannot add that certain device, state a reason why

I realize for the devices that arn't as popular theres no way xda can create a full forum for each one and moderate it without an insane load on the existing mods. I just wish for the less popular that there might be maybe a manufacturer specific forum that way it can hold multiple devices, only a handful of new forums would be created if that, etc.. like Asus / Pantech / Acer / Motorola

Then the people of XDA would be complaining even more about bricked devices because noobs don't read and would therefore make more mistakes.
There seems to be a chicken and egg problem here. Phone has little organized development, it doesn't get a forum. Phone has no forum, development goes slower and less organized.
And then sometimes it feels a bit arbitrary. The Relay 4G has had more development done on it so far than the Sidekick 4G had in its entire lifetime, yet the Sidekick has a forum and the Relay doesn't.
Hi,
It would be a waste of time to add a forum for a device with a user base of ~10 people that aren't going to be going any development. It would add unnecessary clutter to the xda forum page, especially if its going too be added to legacy devices within a few weeks anyway
How about making a wiki for it? At least you can organize things that way.

You are frustrated and it is understandable. You need to read ans absorb what KidCarter93 is trying to explain.
The bottom line is, Yes the Mods see the requests but two things need to be considered.
1) this is a FREE development site people do not work/develop for $$$
2) unless you and a "bunch" of others want development, you need seek out a developer and try and work something out. Maybe a loaner device or simply offer a device for development. YOU CAN NOT PAY somebody to develop on XDA for development. A search on Google will help you find places that will do this.
Every device has started out as yours has. When the SGS3 started (one of the highest developed devices to date). It was a combined thread, every version was under one thread (there are many versions of this phone) so people were bricking there phones because everybody was attempting to use development for the European version which is different from the North American version. It took a month for the devices to form there own threads.
Sadly there are many devices that never receive development. I have owned a ASUS TF300 tablet and while it took development time to start, it now exists,. however in a short period it has slowed due to ASUS creating ewer /better devices. Development has now moved to the new iteration of the device.
Mods/XDA cannot force nor allocate Developers to work on specific devices. Everything done here is voluntary.
Your other choice is to learn development and create your own work:good:
I hope this helps understand XDA and the community a little better.

LOL, I meant for the Pantech Burst ( which there is none ), not a XDA wiki section entirely. I guess I could have been a bit more clear.
We all have to realize, and believe me that I know the frustrations from searching from post to post, thread to thread, which is why I decided to get the Fuhu Nabi ( tablet ) section going in the XDA wiki for members to edit and contribute to as it's becoming very popular as well. If one reads the very first post here, we are not gauranteed a section. Just have to make the most of it and collect all the info where one can for members to have a start from. I am just glad we have a place like this where we can come to for help and not get litterally flamed for asking or the very least ridiculed for trying to help.
Been here since before 06 when it all started with the Windows Mobile Phones and those were fun times but never signed up until 06.

Collecting it in the wiki is a good way to get started. We take many different factors into consideration when adding new devices. One of these is how many existing developers have it already. Unfortunately we cannot add forums for every device,but you are more than welcome to use the wiki.

What he said ^^
XDA simply cant have a forum for each device, and in the case of devices that do not have the backing im sure there are plenty of other forums out there where these devs would meet.
You can also of cause use the Miscellaneous Android Development section if a developer wanted to release stuff for a device that was not listed.
It has been and always will be a developer site and thus the devices with lots of developers will get a section, the request thread is looked at and often devices from it do get sections, but alot of work has to go into deciding which do and dont get sections, and some will always miss out.

We have high expectations of conduct of moderators. You can't just become one by asking. And that will NEVER change. We owe it to our users to ensure staff are up to the standard they expect and deserve.
We're not becoming "elitist", but we do expect to see development potential from developers on a device. There's a "rough formula" you can use to tell if a device will appear on XDA lately - it's not formal or anything, it's just common sense.
A dedicated Sony Xperia Z forum before Asus PadFone 2? I'm disappointed for the first time in XDA. There have been a LOT of requests for a separate forum for our lovely device that is already out in many parts of the world. And now you make a forum for a device that isn't even out yet!

The PadFone is very expensive for what it is, and has failed to capture the interests of developers. The Xperia Z already has developer interest. We add devices based on development potential, and as of yet we've not seen anyone who is in a position to develop that is interested.
You seem to forget that this site is for developers, does not matter how many 'normal' users have a device its all down to the amount of developers that are interested in developing for a device
Pleaseeeeee create subforum

Guessing none of the mods are getting one and then there is no need to make a forum. From the request thread this have been much more sought for that the Sony. Ohh well.

The PadFone series has had a recurring issue of not attracting developer attention, due to being more expensive than other similar products.
There has been no real developer interest that I'm aware of. That's why there's no forum.
and these?
http://www.modaco.com/forum/689-asus-padfone-2/
Please
Do not think it's that difficult to create a forum for padfone own 2, no industrial and other amounts, but there is interest!
And with your help, and creating a forum of their own, surely that would give him a push ...
And just to be specific, tablet + phone 700E. is cheaper to buy a phone and a tablet separately ...
thanks
regards

Tbh I got a nexus 10 and phone for much less than 700 EUR...
I looked at the looked forum, seems a dead device... There are 6 threads. But if we add a device, mods must be assigned, and various other things done. As such, we don't add nearly as many niche devices as users would like.
I am afraid you've not really showed interest - do you have, for example, an established CM maintainer who has got source built CM running? These are the kinds of things that show developer interest
Asus padfone 2 subforum please!
Asus padfone 2 subforum please!
+1 for sub forum
+ 100000 sub forum padfone 2
That would greatly help the devs will be encouraged to get roms, etc and assume it would help to sell more ....
+1 for adding subforum
Guys, you don't need to be asking for a forum for the Padfone 2 because;
1) This is the wrong thread to be requesting a forum be added for it. The relevant thread is stickied at the top of this very forum AND
2) One of the admins has already explained that a forum won't be added unless there's proof of strong development for this device.
If, as already suggested, there was an established CM maintainer who has got CM running on this device, then that would likely greatly increase your chances of having a forum created.
Also, don't say that the Padfone 2 will get more developers once it has a forum because that's a load of rubbish. The device is what intrigues/entices the developers. NOT whether there's is a specific sub-forum or not.
There is a Miscellaneous Android Development forum which is perfect for your needs as you can post any development for the Padfone over there.
In facebook there is a portuguese group for this device! Guess how many of the people there actually develop something?
In 1500 people... 0 roms, themes, or whatever! So yes, i am quiet happy that they opened the forum for XPeria Z
is not expensive if u think that u get a phone and a table i buy mine and belive me is fantastic!
UP!
Some of you just don't get it. You're not getting the forum for the same reason I'm not getting a forum for the Kyocera Rise (except I'm not demanding one like I have some natural right to it). Do any of you have any evidence of custom ROM's, development, etc. for the Padfone?

Finally the guy who is making this come true is a XDA member since 2003, his nick is PaulOBrien

Yes. If it's just Paul you can easily use modaco as it's his forum.
Guys stop crying in here. XDA is a developers site.
If you really want to have a subforum then start developing for it.
That's the only way you'll get a dedicated forum. Constantly making +1 posts in here isn't helpful.

Hi all,
In an effort to reduce the clutter of the General subforum we will be closing any "What's your favorite xxxxxx?" threads in General and ask that you please continue discussions here. Thank you for helping keep this section more organized and apologize for any inconvenience.

So... What pre-paid service are you guys using?
So... What pre-paid service are you guys using?... Price? your satisfaction level, and any other issues... I'm thinking of switching to the new AT&T $60 plan but am worried about the data speeds.

I hate to be the first one to say this, but I think this thread is worthless. It's obviously not doing much good and how could it possibly reduce clutter? It's going to be a jumbled thread of favorites that is near impossible to make sense of. Not to mention that it's completely dead...

I agree. Locking all other threads and just making a new one doesn't reduce clutter, it just makes it worse. How about if the moderator(s) just reopen the other threads because they were fluid and in great discussion. Then delete this thread.
This thread is pointless IMHO. It's dead and ended up jumbled.

Or just be grateful a thread of this is even in place, where it can all be closed down....as realistically "What is your favorite.....so on....so on" is off topic type & worthless discussions anyway, to which there is an Off Topic forum well in-place....

Is it? As far as I see, there isn't a specific d2att Off Topic thread, and as is said quite often, not all phones are created equal even of the same model. So why should we use a "broad spectrum" Off Topic thread for things that we want to know will work well on our specific device?
Please forgive if I'm out of line, but that is my opinion and I think a lot of people will agree with me.

There shouldn't be any off topic for any devices. As I see it, XDA is a development site, not a social network or a place to chat or vent. There is already an off topic section, found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=261 which I think is more than enough for this site. The off topics only further clutter threads and important information and off topics, IMHO, are pointless.
That's just me though. If it were up to me I'd close them all and just stick to development and Q&As... Maybe that way members would at least read OPs and rules Lol....
But that's just me

Honestly, the only threads in this section should concern the AT&T SAMSUNG GALAXY S3. There are general Android sections on XDA.
