Not sure what you started it for. But I'll throw in my two cents. This is a very poor structure and destroys the ability to easily locate what you are looking for, by having to scramble around through every other device's development and questionaire to locate what you want.
I am disappointed in how this was done. devices should maintain their own section and not be merged, the only thing that should have been merged is the shared development of working roms, mods, themes. That is it!
To be honest this is the worst I have ever seen!

Dear sir,
I frequently visit the XPERIA ION & X10 forums. I always help keep both clean & organized with the help of the report button and the moderators. However my Ion thread has been grouped with phones that don't have compatible software. Can you please separate the general, Q&A and apps & themes forums of Xperia Ion, S, ARCO S. I always try to help users with there problems. However now with all the threads mixed up, not properly labeled, it will be harder to use the search feature. Also in an attempt to help mods clean up 3 phones forums, they will be over run with requests for thread maintenance. This will actually create more work.
I was also wondering why the Samsung sgs3 gets 5 seperate forums based on carrier service. In the Ion forum we help with the 4+ models all in the same forum. I don't know but seems like the Sammys are spreading out while you round up the Sony's.
Please take no offence, none is meant. All of XDA mods and admins do an awesome job and thank you.

Hi
Well unofficially, it seems Sony want to work with us, which is good, but they wanted some re-organization done, which might suit their purposes more than ours. It is not me but another Admin who is dealing with this. The User Experience Admin Svetius, he might be able to tell you more. As I understand it the changes will take quite a long time so it very likely is in a mess at the moment, but may get better.

Well that seems off, this is a users forum not a manufacturers support site.
This was truly a bad decision, especially without letting the contributors at least know about it ...... and maybe offer input.

I think it is nice if sony wants to help with unlocking bootloaders or rom development on a "unofficial" level. Maybe now we can get those l28at unlocked and get some stuff cooking.

I'll agree that it's not ideal how things have been bunched together how they have, but the admins have clearly done this for a reason so no amount of moaning will change that.
Instead, we just need to make the most of it and make it as easy as possible for us to navigate our way around.

I hate this - usually when I got in I can tell which thread I haven't read and if i can help or not. Now I have to navigate to which specific related to me or my device. Total mess....probably gona be less input now - just sick of it. Understand what the mod here mentioned nothing can change. But i need to vent it out.
What is Sony gona do? This is user forum for god shake, manuf. sure will not push the limit. So what is there to look for !!! Just a poor decision from the Admin, no-respect for the users. At least a poll or something - this is a democratic country! AT&T already down grade a good phone (Ion), now XDA is doing the same. What a disappointment !

Hi Jaramie,
Sorry about the mix up. Would it help if the moderators would label the threads correctly? In order to revert to the previous configuration, we would need to restore from backup, and that's not easy.

Now this is getting confusing. You make it sound like Sony is washing their hands of all things Ericsson. So while all upcoming midrange phones get there own forums, 3 current top end phones get the shaft.
There are a lot of people moaning over this. I think a restore from back-up is looking good. At least seperate all the sub-forums out by phones. Please give us back the general, Q&A, themes &apps for each phone separately.
I never thought I would hear that XDA is trying to make Sony feel more welcome by making it harder for current members to use the web site.
I wish I could say that all the info given about why this happened makes XDA look like it is helping members, but this just helps future Sony phones. I will be asking members active in our combo forum to write you with their concerns. Maybe if we yell loud enough Sony.... I mean XDA will hear us
Sorry for my rants, again.
Thank you for your time

After reading it again you may be correct.
But it comes down to the fact that XDA is a user forum. If Sony came to XDA and said rearranged your forums. I would like to think we would here about it and possibly be able to give feedback first.
Anyways I have sent it. But sadly I don't think one member moaning and spamming an admin is going to do any good

Help with my thread
I was just re-reading this thread. LOL, LMAO, WOW what attitudes we all had after the merger (just kidding). Well I think that it has all worked out for the better, so far More people means more brain power I still just wish there was some heads up from the admins.
ANYWAY that was not the reason for my post here. I have re-worked MY OP FOR THE RECOVER FROM SOFT-BRICK THREAD to include all 2012 XPERIAs, not just for the ION anymore. I need some feedback from people that have recovered from soft-brick on different models and the ION. I would love all input, stories, posts, advice, etc... for all models of XPERIA. I want to make my thread as helpful as possible for as many XPERIA owners as I can. You can PM me or just post in the recovery thread.
THANK YOU for the help,

Ok guys, Samsung is not updating our phone to ICS. We hate this choice, but we can't help it.
Everyone is waiting for arco68 and the ICS porting, that is gonna be awesome but isn't here yet.
All I see around here is whining and questions, but no one lifts a finger to push this community: no one cares to see how to port mods, themes, and all kind of things that make Android interesting: if I wanted a closed source phone I'd have bought an iPhone and let it be as it came out of the box.
So PLEASE guys: the next time you come here to beg on the "cm9 build thread", instead look on XDA, read guides, try something, DO SOMETHING. If you don't know how to, ASK! If you don't manage, post here, we'll see what we can do to help.
There is no need to be a developer or know about code: you'll find tons of step-by-step guides all over XDA that will teach you.
We can't keep always asking. It's time to ACT!

but young people, which I wish I was, don't have the patience which comes with age
I really have not seen anyone here really getting obnoxious, [well..maybe 1 person].....
so ppl should not take offence for little reason.....
Take a break, come back refreshed.....
ppl here only wish Devs the best, and hope they can solve outstanding issues....I genuinely feel this to be true

Just One Suggestion
I have asked before for a Q & A Section, but if this is not possible perhaps add to this section any links for the topics noted in your fist post as searching xda vast resources is not easy for me and maybe also for others.
Hi all, I never write on this forum, i just read and waiting for news from our community, and i totally agree with fender90, we all need to do something for this Wonder(ful) smartphone!
Probably all of us are waiting for ics/cm9 and i think this is why only few people are trying to do something for us on gingerbread.
In my case i'd like to do something like a kernel with bln for example, but first of all for now i only rooted my phone and i'm afraid of briking my only phone trying to do other mods...Also, i dunno how to begin to do something else like develop a new kernel or improve the features of our w, like the devs on this forum are doing...So i'd really like to see more activity for this phone, and i'd really like to have a part on that, but i dunno how, and first to mod my phone i need to be sure on how i can test my possible mods without damages...

Unfortunately there is no "safe" way to mod, there is always some little bit of risk. But little mods can't hard brick your phone!
What arco68 is doing is the hard work that can brick your phone. He knows what he's doing.
Little mods to the framework or somthing like that will (in the worst case) soft brick your phone, that can be solved in 10 minutes by reflashing a ROM or restoring a Nandroid backup.
About how, check this out: that was the thing I was trying to do before kinda giving up because I don't see an active community that is actually trying to do something: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1169443
fender....thanx for that!!!!
I would say that an active participating community will take some time to evolve!!
This forum is very young yet, and I am not sure it will ever become as big and active as those for more popular devices.
however, I also think that you should continue to do stuff, like you have linked, it will also encourage others with similar skills to contribute, and others to learn and become skilled....
keep up the good work!!

Well, you see, they are previews. Other developers can get them as well, work on them, and all the devs work on the same project and it's most likly to be finished faster.
It's almost like they are in the development section because they are still being developed.

What?! That's an April fools joke, right? Cause there's no way those can still have work being done on them. I thought ROMs with no signal and odd auto rotations were normal.
On a more serious note I don't mind all the ICS ROMs in the dev section, as said they are still being worked on it's not like they drop 'em and abandon development on them. The devs will get a working kernel whether it's with T989 ICS source when it drops or not but I can only imagine how much time something like that can take even though it may seem simple to some
Now if it was just 1 dev crapping out the same threads I'd say that's cluttering up space

I might agree if they weren't just kangs of a non working base. Atleast use one that you can make calls from imo. A rom that you can make calls from might make more sense. All I'm seeing is people taking raver x's base and retheming it. Meh I guess it is what it is lol!

You dont know what youre talking about because xravers rom is AOSP and all the other ICS Roms are not AOSP.
EDIT: I guess you are referring to the MIUI port since its the only AOSP base ICS rom.
a) thats an alpha of a MIUI port ie nobody promised for it to be fully working
b) xraver was looking for someone else to take that project on.

That's the whole point of the 'development' section. XDA was meant to be a website for developers to help each other develop. The influx of smartphone availability brought people like you thinking the world revolves around them and every dev caters to what they want. That's why the moderators are so anal about people not posting things related to development within the development threads.
Mods, please delete this thread. Ego-centric newbie that doesn't understand the purpose of the forum.

Besides the MIUI and AOSP (lack data but still being worked on) the other ICS roms are not broken they work fine minus a bug here and there (auto rotation)

Well, that is what you get coming to a development site, expecting to be spoon fed a working ROM as soon as you get here ...
This is not Pimpmyphone.com it is a development site, I don't think it is all the ICS ROMs that are the clutter, I think it is all the NOOBS and people who don't care to learn that are cluttering up the place ...
What the hell are you talking about broken.The only true issue with the i.c.s roms is the auto rotation.That is a kernel issue and is being worked on.In my option these i.c.s roms run better than some G.B.roms IMO.People everyday posted about i.c.s Leak or TMobile said that about it or I'm reading about it's coming.Well we are here,let's help these guys produce the best product for our phones.

It's nice to know that you guys are hear to help. I posted this in the Q&A you know since it is a question. It seems that you have forgotten you were once new at this as well.
Ill try not to ask as many questions. Once again I'm sorry.
[READ] Stop asking about JB ROMs and anything related to JB updates..

questions aren't the problem we love to help and inform on anything we know. but asking for an eta when there are already tons of discussions on this and when there have already been multiple posts saying don't bug the devs, thats a problem

I'm not bugging the devs...I was asking the community in general? Its just I came from the Nexus S which had well over 100 roms to the Optimus which only has 2. So I have just been confused why there aren't a few more for this device which is much better than my nexus. Im not even asking for ETA's mainly just if anyone knew about more roms being made. I probably should have worded it more clearly.

jbrooks58. We don't mean to be harsh. You came from a nexus, a device that have open source to a device that is branded by LG running LG software. It takes time to develop for getting around minor hurtles may take weeks unlike on a nexus our dev community works hard and we now have a flashable JB zip. Things are in the works but there are a few things that still need fixed.

Thank you for explaining! I didn't realize one was more open than another. I thought all Androids were open. I still have much to learn. Thanks for clarification.

Hey man those listen to these morons it's not their fault that this is the only place in the world they're relevant.. Ask ur questions there will always be ppl that add to the problem and the clutter when one simple answer will finish the thread instead of being rude and keeping the thread at the top of the page by flooding it with off topic responses
Haha...

I see both sides of this coin, since i kinda just went through the same thing. I understand that he was just asking a question, but on the other hand there are probably over 10 discussions with the answer he is looking for.
But on the other hand, you are newer than me even, so welcome to the community, try to read and search before asking questions, and try not to double post either, just edit your last post if no one has replied.

The name calling is uncalled for, especially when you're taking advantage of the work that these people are putting in. This community has enough negativity as it is, and we certainly don't need any more.
Egos aside we're all on the same team here. Either appreciate the work or give constructive advice/suggestions. Enough of the insulting.

Also, alot of the reason we only have 2 roms was because we were stuck on ICS. Not many people want to develop on an older OS, expecially when we knew there was an update right around the corner. So it was the waiting game. Now that JB has been released, and the source code has been dropped, this place will start lighting up. This is one of the best phones out right now, and it will start getting attention. So for now, research, read, contribute what you can, and enjoy the ride.
In all honesty none of those thread touch on how close we are to being AOSP, so his question is relevant. In every thread you get the same answer, either "we have already answered that question", "when it is fully ready to go", "were still testing things so it's going to be a few more weeks". I want to make it clear that I'm not complaining, And am very happy with what you guys are doing, but if we had a little better information about what is going on and what the problems are maybe people would stop posting so much.
If you want to know anything about ROM's/AOSP, go to the IRC. They constantly are talking about it on there.

Do that, or msg me at [email protected]. I have most of the Debs contact info, and I usually stay up to date.

I have noticed a rash of rude and uncalled for comments lately. Here is a little advice for noobs.
Trolling or Fishing on a Devs thread is childish. How old are you? 12? They take their spare time to develop roms, mods, hacks etc. and give them to us for free. Making comments such as "This rom sucks" is just wrong. If you do not like the rom, don't use it. Respect is earned on this site.
When needing help, please search for the answer first. If you cannot find a good enough explanation, then ask the question politely. Include as much information as possible. Phone code name, Hboot version, S-On or S-Off, What rom you are using etc. I know some people will tag it at the bottom but put it in the description of the question as well. It is hard enough to help someone without having to figure out what kind of phone they have too. Be polite. Hit the thanks button. It is free and does not hurt at all. Remember that XDA is a developers site. They invited you here to share their work with you freely. Senior members help a lot of people on a daily basis and you should keep in mind that they get tired of answering the same question or fixing the same problem. Being polite and keeping your cool will get them to help you a lot faster and things will go alot smoother.
Thanks,
Venomtester

It'll last longer here. In general it would last maybe 20min= mod lock. But you right Lol

Sheesh, not another one of these threads. The noobs you're talking about create problems because they never read before posting and complaining, thus they won't read this thread.
I'm a noob. I read it. I really need a social life.

See sig line.
we do get alot of these threads actually. we should make a "thread of shame" but make sure it is made a sticky.
since im ocpd i go through every single evita thread every couple months. =) sometimes i bump old things.
edit: decided to go through One X Android Development just now
i like a clean house
i wish i was a forum mod, cause i see tons of threads that need to be moved and/or locked or both, like the threads that needed to be moved in the dev sections that were just closed but never moved, or were moved but still say "Moved: " in original posted forum.
was this Xperia Z rom port please! not moved but closed in case a dev would see it and want to port it?
why do some threads say "Moved: " but still show up in it's original location? back when the new rules of threads with no downloads can't be in dev section many of those seem show up as "Moved: " which seems beneficial as they originally hinted at dev usage but didn't exactly conform to the rules of that section so seeing them in both places might be helpful?
XDA is just a subset of society.
In society, there are nice people, not so nice people, smart folk, idiots etc.
There will always be a mix of all types here, and while venting about noobs probably makes you feel a little better for a short time, the fact is it isn't going to change a thing.
My advice is just accept that it is how it is. Maybe have another beer and everything will seem just that little bit better.

I never said kids were ruining xda. I'm talking about childish behavior. Kinda like what we are doing now. Everybody drinking and smoking. Cats and dogs living together. Just plain craziness.
