As a senior member here I just want to state I think it's retarded to have 2 seperate development forums for one device. I don't even know how long this forum existed here until the other day someone mentioned something was in the original dev section.
If there were a vote I would vote to just have a single common development forum.
I agree

I second your opinion; it causes confusion having 2 separate sub-forums for development on one device.
Agreed. How you can have cm10/rujelus/venum/etc roms in the other section while cm9/jb aosp and calk's roms is here in original development is beyond me.
Edit: Even the OG Epic forums have only 1 dev section. I don't see the standardization here.

I think posting a thread about how you thing a section is pretty stupid if you ask me...

While I would normally agree with you, I also think that this section is pointless. I could MAYBE see if they wanted to seperate kernels from the dev section so that they were easier to find MAYBE....but yeah this seems like pointless clutter.
I think AOSP roms should be in a different group from TW and themed roms. I like the idea of it but obviously this is currently sorta quirky. Just my 2 cents.

It's meant to keep actual development separate from kangs and the same rom 100 times with 100 themes. They didn't want to tell all the people making winzip roms they had to stop posting in development.

it just confuses me even more
it took me a week and several pages of scrolling in the xda app to have finally realized cm9 was moved over to this newly created forum, i think if this would have been here from the start then it wouldn't be so irritating but this sub forum feels like its only been here about a week or 2, and as a non-developer but xda enthusiast i just don't know how to differentiate original and android development?? should mui be in here too since its an original of its type? why isnt cm10 in here but cm9 is? i dunno, personally i liked it all under 1 subforum where F5 is my friend, i lurk the roms i like....just my opinion, mods can do whatever they like with my thread, lock it, delete it, warn me, whatever, i was just voicing my opinion in the section it was related (albeit its not a rom i developed, this is just a thread i developed lol), eitherway i'm always greatful for xda and all the talented developers here, since you stopped by my thread chris41g, i'd like to thank you as one of the top 10 devs for our device, we wouldn't be at this stage of customization for this model phone if it weren't for your help.
So you call the split stupid but you cant even find threads. Let alone use the search function.
I prefer it this way. There are too many copycat roms in the other section. This allows me to read only about original roms.

I don't really agree with it, I'm just constantly checking both. Puts more work into looking around for the "average" member.
If I had my way, there would be subforums:
1. CM+MIUI+Codename+AOKP+AOSP (The multi-device roms)
2. Roms based off stock/TW (Developed soley for the E4GT)
4. Kernels/Recovery/Modems
5. Themes/Apps/Stand-alone mods

so are ya here to put in your opinion, or just complain about posters? you have attitude problems man, dont post if al your gunna do is come at people/
anyways, i could see the point of two separate forums if it had some uniformity. doesnt make sense to put cm9 in one, and cm10 in another. just confuses people when both roms should be in original
and you can argue with allot of roms on where to put them. like aokp for example, it should go in original, but since its built from cyanogenmod you can argue that it should go in the other one.
but you can also argue that us senior member are just cranky because stuff is changing, like all senior facebook users are when facebook changes profile layout, or timeline, or whatever they call it now
im also a senior member and I think the idea was separate the tw roms/kernel from the non tw but that jelly bean rom is still there
Given my senior member status
.
If ppl use search more often you may find wat your looking for! This extra thread in a development section is stupid!

that thread never should have been in Development anyways...that was, and STILL is a WIP..
Maybe the mods should have a section for WIP, or, only allow recognized devs to post/see it?
Once a product is actually ready for consumption, it should be posted "in public"..
Not sure if this is do able, but it would make things a lot easier for people who actually develop, and, reduce the number of newbies who screw up their phones, because they just flash anything they see here..
okay so i searched all over google on how to create a custom rom for the epic 4g nut i got nothing can someone please help me with the links to download and a little steps on what to do.

Biggeron there is no need to be like that, I mean, he asked in the right section and it a legitimate question. I myself have wanted to start developing but I have no programming experience so I didn't even ask. In terms of the ops question, I'd either get on irc and start talking to developers, or use one of the many kitchen tools to start. Also if you don't know java or a similar programming language, I'd start there.
Here is a kitchen that you might want to use.

To be fair there is something up with this OP. He has posted in several places about updating from DK18 to EL30, then asking "what's the best EL30 ROM" You all know I love those, and all of a sudden is in the thick of CM9 running it and commneting on it....now that is some hell of a learning curve for 2 days.

Forum 101 you might say and something that would have been force fed to you upon account creation here. ESL or not the message would have been undeniably clear. Dishwasher forum, Automobile forum, Mobile Phone forum, Hockey forum or Home Audio forum; you will find this norm at them all.

Ok guys. Lets not get out of line here. The answer posted is good enough. We are here to help when help is needed, but we will not spoonfeed people. One of the rules of XDA is to read. I have seen too many people brick their device because they didn't read for themselves and took the advice of someone that didn't know exactly what they were talking about. If a person can't take the time to at least try to find the information for themselves, we will not take the time to give it to them.

No man. We will help. There are rules for a reason. Search being one of them. If you can't google then expect a brick. If you want to blame the people here for not spoonfeeding you then be my guest. Try looking at other sections here . In my experience this is the nicest group of people in one subforum. They have even googled the answer for you... this is not a site to come pimp your phone. This is a site where developers come to share ideas and help eachother. This is also a site where they will teach you so you can develop your own stuff. They do not get paid for what they do. They are here on their free time. So why would they want to hold your hand in a situation where the answer is easily found on your own? This thread needs to be locked... anyone else hear a knock on the glass? Kenny? Lol

What's the difference between the Sprint GS2 and the International one? I forgot how the search button works, I'm too lazy, plus why bother when I can just ask you guys to spoonfeed me. I'm ready to flash an international rom on my Sprint GS2.

It was a simple question that required an even simple answer. You guys are going above and beyond. Arrogance is about unattractive quality, and I'm sure you self important confidence translates well into the real world.
You guys over forget forums are about communication as well, but some of you are so amped for a chance to zing a noob. Someone should spoonfeed you guys some people skills.

You are still forgetting that we have rules here. We are more than happy to help, but not when willful ignorance is involved. It was already proven by multiple people that this question is answered in the first post of a Google and XDA search. Why waste your time and our time asking a question that is easily answered with a search?
O the irony of some of the replies in this thread. Waste time? You are wasting time arguing if it's logical to help someone or smite them... If the answer was smite, don't bother replying. He came looking for help, not someone who cling's to the "rules" in order to justify not giving the help the OP was looking for. BTW, 90% of the question's asked here, have been answered a 100 times or more. If you can't be bothered to answer it 101 times, then don't bother clicking the thread title. I could see what this thread was about before I clicked to enter it, and so should you. So if you came here to b****, then shame on you.
I didn't come here to *****. Also I help out whenever I can. The answer has already been answered. There were a lot of threads on it. For new people coming here it may not seem like that big of a deal. I have been here since this phone was out. I am not saying I know everything because I dont. There have been so many repeat questions its ridiculous. It takes two minutes to search. If I dont understand something I will google the hell out of it. Remember to use key words in the search like xda epic touch 4g or et4g. And if I still cannot find the info I finally ask a question. I get it. Some people dont like to do anything themselves. They dont appreciate that ahaaa! Moment. Well it will most likely end up the same direction as this thread.

Hello everyone,
the moderating team assigned to your forum has decided to no longer allow any offtopic threads whether those were previously sanctioned by moderators or not.
We have come to this decision due to the fact that those threads offer absolutely nothing to the device specific forum or to development in general.
After all the name of the site is xda-developers.
If you feel the urge to engage in any offtopic discussion, the offtopic forum is always at your disposal.
As such, this thread will be closed in 24 hours from this post.
Please understand that this decision was made only to streamline the forums and to enhance the user experience.
Thanks for your understanding and cooperation,
Diamondback
Moderation Team Leader for the Sony/Motorola/LG devices

There were several threads that have been effected by this. What I don't understand is why were the threads not reviewed before such a decision were made? The title "Off Topic" apparently makes you the black sheep on XDA. I've read where in some threads that the so called "Off Topic" thread actually offered support without being ridiculed or trolled. There's alot of good information and bonds that have developed in some of these threads. Instead of loading up a mods inbox with a zillion PM's, why not just put it all out there for everyone to see? Somewhere there was a notice given that this was coming, but today is the first that myself and many others have ever heard of it. Can someone explain this to me and the rest of the community as to why there were no research or discussion (in the area of the threads) put forth in making a decision such as this?
I concur. Besides being off topic most of the users there have contributed in and out of the Droid X2 Off Topic thread. If you were to look through the 7000+ posts you would see that many users in our thread are productive members of XDA. I agree many Off Topic threads are useless but we have helped many people across devices and carriers.

Well said, to both of you. I see the XperiaX10 group continued their thread in this forum, as well. I truly think the excuse of "these threads add nothing to the community" is a thinly veiled excuse for them wanting to thin out older forums. Diamondback and other mods know that many people have moved on from those phones. If they close out some threads, that's less work/moderating they have to do. Had they actually taken a moment to think, they would realize that it was those threads that kept those forums alive, producing active conversations regarding smartphone technology as a whole. Then again, perhaps that was exactly the problem - it kept those forums alive.
It's unfortunate that a website that promotes community around technology, shuts down threads that build community. Oh, XDA, you beautiful paradox.
So... who else did this happen to? Join us!

Yea man this is ridiculous. This off topic thread I'm apart of is this single best most informative thread I've ever been apart of on xda. Its what got me into the rest of xda's threads. Anything I can do to help I'm here. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
My local off topic thread is one that u can cine to and ask anything and not be ridiculed for your lack if knowledge. And multiple people respond to questions and help. I come from the Nexus4 off-topic group by the way.

I'm sure the reasoning behind this decision will make absolutely no sense and will just be "This is a site for developers" as an umbrella excuse for doing whatever.
My thread that got the notice isn't even an off-topic thread. It's the Nexus 4 U.S. thread...

Why don't you talk to your assigned group of mods, maybe PM there Team Leader. Communicating with them may help. Not all teams have removed OT from their forums. If you have enough peoples objecting to this, they may consider. But what is the main issue, that you no longer have a place to talk OT? What is wrong with your thread being moved to the OT forum?

You can lead a fool to wisdom but you can't make him think! XDA, mobile wisdom, not a n00b feeding ground!!

Which raises another question.... What was the basis on the decision to be so selective?
As pessimistic as this sounds, I doubt anything will happen. XDA mods make decisions for the "community" without actually consulting the community. No polls. No feeler threads asking for input. There is simply a parent/child relationship. "We have the authority, so we make the rules. Don't like it? Leave."
Is it B.S.? Absolutely. Do they honestly care what you think? Unless you are a huge contributor or your username is Cyanogen, no.
I'm simply sharing what I have gathered from my time on this site. If I've offended anyone, well, I'm sorry.

It's not wrong for asking questions. Its who is gonna man up and answer them, or simply pull the thread and/or pass out infractions-bans?

I recall a now-banned moderator telling me that once in a self-righteous rage.

Lol. I didn't get him banned, not for lack of trying mind you. He shot his mouth off elsewhere and did that on his own. It was attitude that got him. That was the point.
Cute gif, though.

To answer your question..and I'm paraphrasing here...the site is for developing and off topic doesn't have a place here. It involves only the lg moto and Sony threads cuz that's the forums he is in control of. Its a personal thing by him.

If what he said were true, there would be more closings throughout the forum and not only in the 3 he mentioned. I'm still waiting for someone to speak up. Look at the threads that have been moved here. Its not the same. The one's that actually gave back to the community will soon be tarnished by their new "home."
We need off topic threads .its place for answers without getting bashed
