Can You Guys make a Separate section for Qmobile phones. These are getting very very Popular in Pakistan and have released about 20+ android phones here.
We don't make a section for a line of phones. We make device forums for each device depending on if there is support and active development for them. They also have to follow all GPL laws. As this device is not really available to a large audience I don't really see enough development coming for them to need a forum.

Hello everyone,
I have a little suggestion to make. I think it is time to call for a "Porting Android" forum.
As I'm sure many of you are aware, there are frequent Android porting threads started all over the forum in each specific category. However a lot of our beloved deviced are based on pretty much the same hardware. Therefore, at least for me as a non programmer, it seems to make sense to try to increase collaboration between the different deviced. I am fully aware the is an IRC channel where all the developers hang out, but I think xda-developers deserves an own forum non the less, where device independent developments could be discussed and all the device specific threads could be bundled. General FAQs as how to run Android could be made sticky to avoid duplicate discussions and increase productivity. Also, maybe some of the noob questions of "when is it done" would stop once the threads are moved out of the device specific rom subforums and people would see that there is actually some development going on, even though it might be for another but similar device.
Now you can go ahead and rip my idea apart.
It would make more sense, as I have stated in the ... blackstone forum? i think? i cant keep track now, they are all basically the same, which is why I say this is a good idea instead of 15k of posts to read through, it would be 15k of more easily searchable threads.
Hi there,
I think it could be a good idea to put "all in one" forum and/or Wiki.
It would be easier for devs and noobs to find infos
I think that, if executed properly, a porting Linux/android section for each device would be very worthwhile.
There could be sticky at the top, with a simple How-to, a comprehensive FAQ, and the latest versions, and then different threads for people to collaborate and work on different features (Android Market, Cellular data/voice, hardware support, etc.). Then, there could be some kind of Questions and Answers thread, for more specific problems/questions.

The only reason I voted against this idea is because Android Porting is different with each hardware and needs to be specific to that hardware. (It comes down to drivers)
For example, I had Android working on my mogul with phone calls, messaging, net access, etc. That's not the case with my touch pro. Though Android installs on TP, none of the uses of a phone are possible yet.
To combine all potential exceptions under one location might be too cumbersome, especially considering the number of devices Android is sought out to work on.
my $0.02.
I think it would be a good idea if each phone had its own section for porting android, kinda how there is a rom development section for phones
The idea behind the thread was to create a single forum for all the android porting going on here to combine the knowledge of people working on different devices running similar hardware.
There are barely 1 or 2 threads about android for every device. Having a dedicated android section for every device would therefore be an overkill.
No custom rom, no voice and data hack (excl AT&T) BOOOOO, viewsonic Gtab have better developer.
lol, why is this complaint in the general section of xda developers?
Developer will choose which forums they want to visit and which devices they want to support. As this is a Phone site, not a Tablet site, I'm guessing no-one's interested, there's plenty of fun to be had with phones .
XDA isn't here to force developers to work on specific projects.
This is why we have resevations about opening forums for devices that might not be developed for.
Adding to above we have opened an enormous amount of sections of non HTC devices in less than a year!
Much more than some may want
Hello all,
I came to this forum because I purchased a surface tablet and want to share my experience with other people about this device. However, it's quick for me to realize that the surface section is under windows 8 development and hacking, which new users cannot post in unless he got over 10 posts. For any other device, there is usually a dedicated forum with general, Q&A, development and hacking sections. This allows new users to post in general and Q&A. For example, the nexus 10 which is also a tablet has it owns dedicated forum. So why do we have this biased treatment to the surface tablet?
Thank you.
I would add this request under the device request section. Actual development for the Surface (as a tablet device, not for Windows 8 RT applications in general) hasn't really picked up all that much which is why it is in a sub-forum. If/when it picks up, we'll be sure to add a forum.
I'm somewhat frustrated by this too. I'd like to add to discussions in the surface subforum, but I'm still a noob here. I don't have pedantic questions to ask, so I can't rev my post count in meaningless ways in other forums.
Perhaps someone could drop the minimum post count in that forum?
To all forum readers and lurkers, welcome to a new and experimental section of the forums! The PC Hardware forums are part of our expansion into a limited discussion of PC hardware for our enthusiasts and developers. So while the normal forum rules apply you may notice that things here will be slightly different and a work in progress.
Here's what you can expect in each of the forums within here:
PC Hardware Portal Article Discussion is where the portal team will be posting a new thread for each article on the category. While Disqus isn't a bad option it's also a very limited one in comparison to our forum membership - and so we'd like to try moving some of that discussion here. It also gives us the ability to give some behind-the-scenes updates and additional content that may not fit the Portal well, such as build logs and photos of projects we're working on for Portal articles.
Forum members are more than welcome to continue the discussion but new threads will only be created by us here. If you want to carry on a discussion of a different topic, we have you covered.
The PC Hardware For Linux Developers section is ideally for continuing the discussion and talking about topics near and dear to our developers' hearts. Whether you're just starting out and want to know how to build your own kernel/ROM, set up a kitchen to theme, or something more advanced... if it's about Linux this is the place to talk about it!
While the name doesn't call it out specifically it's well known that a subset of developers use Mac OS X instead - feel free to post in here too on your topics. To help clarify we ask that the prefix [OSX] be used so readers know this deals with a Mac-specific topic.
Lastly our PC Hardware General is for all other discussions under the sun and related to the topic. We're not looking to replace your go-to sites but rather foster a conversation in addition to that. And while we certainly understand that these discussions can get "heated" we ask that people treat each other with the same civility and respect as you would anywhere else on the XDA forums.
Your moderation team can be found in the upper right hand corner under "Moderators." Please feel free to contact us if there are any questions/concerns. In addition you will likely find me around here quite often - part of my job as PC Hardware Editor is to help foster those discussions. And we'll be watching to see how this develops - if we need to split this up further you may see additional forums being added or moved here to better keep the related discussions together!
Thank you for your continued time and support of XDA!
Hello dear XDA moderators and admins. First of all thank you for making this great XDA forum available to us.
I have a little question for you guys.
I know there is a Sony cross device development subforum here at XDA which is a wonderful resource for Sony users.
But is there also one for Xiaomi devices?
Considering the fact that Xiaomi releases somewhere around 80 new devices each month, it's easy for valuable information to get lost in all the various little individual Xiaomi subforums. Information that could also be useful to other Xiaomi users that might happen to have a slightly different Xiaomi device and therefore tend to hang out in a different Xiaomi subforum.
Wouldn't such a Xiaomi cross device development subforum be a great place for all Xiaomi users and developers to be able to communicate with each other and answer questions related to ROM development and other questions regaring Xiaomi devices?
Could you please create such a Xiaomi cross device development subforum? Thank you so much!

lol @ that thread. It's like 1,2k pages long
Anyways. I think I found the perfect Xiaomi subforum for my needs that spans across multiple Xiaomi devices it seems. This new forum software is a little bit more difficult to navigate than the previous one...
