Hi Guys
There's a new facebook page for Elephone P8000.
www.facebook.com/elep8000
You can like, comment and contribute there.
There are many people who don't know how to go through the XDA forums well so the facebook can become an alternative.
Several People can be added as Administrators on that Page.

Hello there, i have worked a system to follow forum posts on Twitter, here are the currently supported threats:
XDA Twitter for Front Page forum: xda_developers
XDA Twitter for Kaiser General forum: xda_kaiser
Each one is updated every hour getting the last RSS post.
The Twitter idea is from robboy who gave me the password to work the system. The original post can be found here.
If you have any idea, suggestion, improvement for the twitter just let me know!
- Also let me know if you want another threat to follow -
That's a really good idea! Maybe you could do this for the ROM development threads, so we know when a new or updated ROM comes out.
aha, so you're the reason we couldn't register that twitter username

Hi guys... hopeing someone can shed some light..
I`ve subscrubed to the HTC Desire forums... is there any way I can show new posts in these forums only ? as apposed to just the [new posts] button..
thanks
Sorry, I've not see a way to do this, yet.
Dave
hmmm
Well I don`t see the point of subscribing to forums then if that isn`t possible..
I was after the same kinda thing as androidforums.com. you can have favourite forums and just show the unread posts in those!!
contact the admins and mods personally i don't subscribe to threads i just browse through them and post stuff
It looks like androidforums.com is using a favourite forums plugin for vB, which XDA doesn't have.
I only subscribe to small forums for quick access from User CP and to tell me when something new is in there.
Dave
ok
thanks guys.. ( Dave )
I would like to subscribe to sub forums Example: Evo 4g and Nook Color Android Development. I use the Xda App and its amazing, but I would like all the new post to appear in my news when I read them all, I subscribe by email but not fast enough or sometimes it doesnt appear. Any idea how I can do so with out subscribing to whole xda rss feed. Thanks
I'm also searching for this option. Any ideas?

I'm looking for a solution to this too. So far I've been recommended FeedBurner, but that just works at the thread listing level. I'm looking to generate a RSS of the posts from within a thread... Anyone got any suggestions?
The two feeds that I've found that XDA generates are:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?type=RSS2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=765
(change 765 to the forum level that you want)...
But this still doesn't list from within threads....
super easy go to the sub-forum and click the RSS button on your browser to get RSS link. copy to Google Reader.
if you have chrome you can subscribe to Google reader with 2 clicks. Rss button> Subscribe.
Evo 4g dev
http://www.google.com/reader/view/feed/http%3A//forum.xda-developers.com/external.php%3Ftype%3DRSS2%26forumids%3D653
Nook Colour Dev.
http://www.google.com/reader/view/f...opers.com/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=864
wow hard.
note: rss feeds show newly started THEADS, not new posts, nor does it "bump" up an older thread with new posts,
nor can you subscribe to a "Device" subforum as a whole ( general Q&A Dev and Apps together), only sub-forums OF the device ( general, q&A ect SEPARATELY for each device)
Thanks trusselo, I found the regular RSS feeds as I said in my post. It's whether or not there is one for within the forum thread itself; and it appears there is not. I've tried various sites to dynamically generate a RSS from a web page, but they are terrible and syndicate a whole bunch of useless data.
Has anyone managed to use a third party site to generate a clean and usable RSS feed of posts within a sub forum?

I am not aware of a feed of posts, due to the huge number of posts you will see... New threads is all that rss covers afaik

Ye I was thinking that, but at the same time an RSS of thread data would be no more than what each page generates in standard forum HTML, especially if the feed was paginated with around 10-20 posts per page, like the thread pages are now.
I'll put it in as a feature request and see what happens in the future.
Hello XDA and fellow members. I want to start off by saying I love the new look/theme of XDA!! I don't why, but it just seems more user friendly and sophisticated to me. But anyway, to get to my question. When will we have the option to share to Google+? Up in the top right corner of an OP, it gives you the option to share this post on Facebook or to Tweet this post or even to report a post. I think Google+ plus has come far along now, that it is on the heels on contending with Twitter and Facebook. And I believe more users would use it, had we have options like this. I see all of the t.v. shows like CNN, etc..are adding the Google+ option. So when will XDA? Thanks!

Per the forum rules, promoting social media is not allowed on XDA.

The rules are so users aren't siphoned off to some other site. Any discussion can happen here. This is the development forum.
I've seen people promote their Facebook page or YouTube channel, and it's just a ploy to make money.
You can have closed group testing off site, but don't promote those links publicly. Like, "hey, that other place is where the cool stuff if happening."
I really don't trust anything that's not on XDA, related to my phone. If it's real, it's going to be here.

yep, and that's the "classic" opensource , opendevelopment approach - that should also make sure that everyone benefits and before ran-into issues are documented and fixed
thus others don't have to figure fixes out again (re-inventing the wheel) so it can be focused on new/different issues - otherwise we'll end up at grsecurity-type development (behind closed doors).
Nothing against grsecurity - it's great, but I hate it e.g. when folks take your work and release stuff based on it (e.g. kernels) but don't release the changes back so that you can improve upon that,
which in actuality is a requirement by the GPL
