Splitting up forums - About xda-developers.com

Hello.
I've seen thread after thread from users who a confused over that you have created a Xperia S forum and not a Xperia NXT forum for Xperia P, S, Sola and U. Right now it not so messi because developers wait until the arrival of ICS update for the devices. But when Sony have released the kernel source and developers starting to either port roms og develop roms for the devices it could be really confusing to seach after a rom to the specific device. Yes they look allmost the same on the outside, but they aren't the same on the outside. Wich means that you can't take a Xperia S rom and install on a Xperia U.
So why did you create just one forum in the first place? You knew that Sony will release more devices to the Xperia family. Why don't make action before it's to late? I think that splitting up each devices will be much better. It could be in a Xperia NXT forum with each device in a child forum
Just a confused member
Thx

You could help people by creating an index, listing stuff in a proper order, and then have it stickied in the dev area for easy access...I've done it for my device since once there was a little confusion...
Though making and maintaining something as simple sounding as an index involves plenty of work beneath the surface...

It's already done And senior member optik19918 have already created an index on a picture wich is pretty nice if you ask me

And it is already in the new forums request thread

No, I meant something more on the lines of this...
My honest opinion/forecast is that what you are proposing wouldn't be implemented...
So one thing you could do is have a hand in cleaning up of your forum...
I do hope that the admins atleast look into this, but the chances of the division becoming real are bleak atm...

Chef Forums?

I'd like to make a suggestion for XDA to consider.
I was just about to suggest to DL that he open his own website forum after watching how many threads become very, very, very, painfully long - like 400++++ posts for each build. That makes it hard for newbies to understand what's going on, and even for those of us who do know, to find what we're after.
I am wondering if those developers who regularly post ROMs here on XDA might be given their own sub-forums for the purposes of bug reports and improvement suggestions to manage their own product.
For example, guys like NRG, DFT, DL and others are always posting updates. But the threads get very long, and very confusing with duplicate posts. If they had their own forum subsection - say for example DL could have his own Android subforum for troubleshooting his NAND and SD builds, that would, I think, very much help.
Just an idea.
Thanks!
We have one, it just didn't really take off, so it's been "upgraded"... more info is in svetius's State of Site announcement : http://www.xda-developers.com/announcements/the-state-of-the-site/

Port request sensation 2.0

Hi all I'm piggy backing off the original post in themes seeing if we get more action in here
"Really excited that everything is moving so quickly and can't wait to get my flashing fix in. I saw this ROM in the international SGS2 section and since i dont know anything about developing I'm kindly making a request for one of you awesome Devs to port this. "
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194765
Looks like a cool ROM
I have a feeling you are about to get flamed for not putting this in the Q&A
I don't have a problem with it being in here because I would love to see on the E4GT, but a lot of peeps won't.
Good luck!
would love to see this rom on our et4g

Read the rules, if you didn't make it, it dosent belong in development. Nobody wants to sift through random threads to find the roms, mods and kernels.
Best course of action would be to try and contact the devs and ask if they would be interested.
The original poster did and he said all he needs is a dev from our side and he'll help us port it to our phones s

I don't think there has been a ROM ported yet... Would be nice to see it on my phone, closest you're going to get to that is if someone port it as a theme.

I see nothing special compared to ics. It also took some time with all the si numbers rolling out every day/week.

Yeah Really!! Sony Takes so much of a time to roll out slowly from country to country and what not...
Its a waste of time now to wait for the update.
Can experience a lot better roms in our development sections
Why create another thread when this one exists yet and the information fit perfectly there?

[ROM] Nitrogen OS for Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus (vince)

This was posted on Telegram (https://t.me/vinceroms):
Nitrogen-OS-O-vince-20180705.zip
built by Richard Willes
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1KR6Fdbh1y87qaLhedHEOr4KZpErgrq6Q
In my opinion it's an excellent ROM, one of the best ones released so far for the R5P. It looks very polished and professional (none of those childish boot animations with lightning and wolves and swords and all that crap), and it feels stable and adequately speedy on the R5P's hardware. Feature set is good (for my needs at least), without being overly bloated.

Why is not this ROM placed in the right thread???

You probably mean subforum, not thread. I posted this in the news subforum since I found this ROM, and it is new. If the developer of the ROM chooses to make a thread about it here on XDA, he will certainly do so in the development subforum.

You did see the credits in my post above, right? The ROM link was posted anonymously, WITHOUT ANY CREDITS on Telegram. It took me quite a bit of detective work to find out that this ROM was built by Richard Willes, by correlating the kernel build information from other ROMs ([email protected]).

who deserves to design an awesome Rom for the whole community.

I don't really know what that means, but it does sound a bit offensive. English is probably not your first language.
There are several ROMs for the R5P out there which don't have a thread here on the XDA development subforum. Developers might have their reasons not to participate on here, and it is certainly easier to just post a link anonymously on Telegram than go through all the hassle of forum communications.
It is not a big deal
deleted.
Is this rom safe to load into Phone ?
If you can donwload it than yes
