Same goes for both your posts.
(Why use #gn = because most ppl there will have the Galaxy Nexus and are reading in it's forums.)

My first post is a legitimate question as to why use this specific channel (with the likely small amount of people to respond) while there is global #xda-devs channel (where a fair share of the people actually do have the Galaxy Nexus).
Furthermore, if you think answering a question with "guess" has any place here on XDA-Developers, you might want to reconsider being here.

more people should join the channel. Galaxy Nexus owners unite!

Why would #GN be better than xda-devs?.. Let me illustrate.
topic for xda-devs: Note: This is #xda-devs, the operative word being DEV. not "I'm a spastic who can't even flash a ROM"
..
where as GN is for anything and everything... so if I am a user looking for help, the folks in xda-dev's are not helpful.. If i'm looking for specifically help on a g.n., once again, xda-devs, on the off chance I find someone who is a helpful person, the chances are they will not be helpful with a gn as the phone itself isnt their target audience.
And yes, I realize that this topic is old, but it still deserves love.

Totally disagree, one shouldn't advertise chats or websites where people cannot provide links to their sources or even worse, they post links to hacked applications or mods
XDA is an open source website for reliable development and shouldn't be use to promote and advertise unconfirmed software

beleive it or not bro ,all shared links are 99% xda forum links for all purposes related to s6e+..others are for intressting playstore apps..join us just to see chat history and then you can leave group..i forgot to tell that everything in the group is for FREE..there not any kind of monetization.
You should help people instead of judging something you don t experience..Xda is the always our reference and all traffic is redirected to it..hope to see you helping us

You didn't properly read my post, I didn't say that YOUR group /chat or whatever it is promotes Warez or untested stuffs, I was only generally speaking as you must understand that as I've already pm'ed you, xda doesn't allow to advertise such things and you would properly understand what I say if you would have read the GPL, agreement which it's a base for XDA-Developers
There are hundreds of such chats / groups / websites / forums outside xda, no-one will search their reliability and credibility, this is not xda's job but as well xda doesn't allow them to be advertise here as one would blame xda in case of disasters for publishing untrustworthy info
Again, xda means open source, each piece of software must be opened source and transparent and can be verified by the developers and moderators
Read the forum rules, it can be found as first on the list, there's a paragraph where it says "don't put us in trouble..."
I personally wanted to maintain a help thread but has been owned by another user who actually isn't even active thus the thread it's dead and i've asked him to pass it over me, nothing happened
If you feel the urge to advertise your personal non xda stuffs, you can do it via pm as I already suggested you
I hope you understand...

The only help I can provide is here, on xda

hey bro i do understand no need to repeat it..i sent appologize message to moderator!
Btw i see that wtasp group ads on xda never has such observation..anyway thx for help.
Regards.

Our official stance regarding threads like this:
One thread per device forum. There can be more than one, as long as it entirely and specifically different and independent from the other. If its sole purpose is to direct traffic away from XDA, that would be a violation of forum rules, resulting in the thread being closed.

The group is very active and very friendly. It is focused mainly on helping and directly people to learn more about the Edge+.
I like that it really feels like XDA on the go we always link to XDA forum and speak about things released there that may not belong in "normal" posts.
Feel free to join and learn more about your device and gets tips but remember. Same rules as on XDA applies apart from it being a bit more off-topic and spam

Of topic and leaving Potter

I ordered my new Moto G6 Plus. It should arrive approximately the 7th of May.
Leaving the potter section of XDA won't be that hard.
The developers of potter do great jobs. No doubt about that. But somehow they hate XDA and do a lot via Telegram. That's not my cup of tea to be honest.
Pleading for XDA on their threads made them angry on me. They wanted me to leave. So, here I go.
Hoping the Moto G6 Plus has better support on XDA...
Thank you all and goodbye!

I also agree to the fact that things should be posted more on here than Telegram but I've noticed quite a lot of devs now using Telegram as their main app to announce/post about their work. But then again, who are we to tell them, it's their choice after all so can't really judge. Anyways, farewell.

I know that all those devs who can bear the responsibilty to cater the needs of the xda users present their work here and those who don't have enough time or interest in answering and resolving user queries put their work somewhere else .
What I don't understand that how could any Dev be made a bad figure if doesn't put all his work on xda . They definitely share their work which is stable and good in xda .
Anyways, xda app team should think about introducing some major changes to this platform so that it becomes very interactive and Dev/user friendly .
One last point , in other platforms irritating users can be kicked or banned instant unlike xda where some arrogant user just blames the Dev for everything .
I love xda and ill try my bit in near future to help themake it better .

They are not paid for their work, not even credited properly. So i don't think there is any point in asking them to post things to XDA. For me, its ok to grab ROMS and other resources from where ever they are available. I don't care if its XDA, Telegram or whatever. Moreover in future telegram may become more popular than XDA for developers as it is more convenient and faster than XDA.
This is my opinion and personally, I understand the hard work of developers out there, at least we run oreo on potter because of them.

well ,you know that lately there are a lot of trouble with the XDA moderators doing some stuff that makes the developers upset.. this could be one of the reasons

I first recognised you in the Titan section, that device had first class development, lots of ROMs, kernels, tweaks and tools. Now we met here and maybe we meet again in another devices thread again.
I don't have such a big problem in using telegram or developers doing so but XDA is such a well known source, probably the most important website in kinds of android so it should be the first place to get knowledge and grab software in a secure way.
Maybe XDA has to move with the times a bit more.
Wish you all the best with the G6+!

Ik know all about roms, and I also know the devs aren't payed for their hard work. And yes, it's up to them we're they post. I know. But Telegram? It's a chat app like Whatsapp. And it's, imho way to fast. Before you know it there are over a 1000 posts! I have to scroll through all that mambo jambo to find something useful. But hey, it's just me. Maybe I'm getting too old for this. I can manage, but I don't like it.

Yeah, thanks for your reaction. Maybe not only XDA has to move with time. Maybe me also.
For now: there's nothing there for the G6+... So I'll be on 'stock' for a while. Let's see were the roms for that phone will emerge...

Telegram is bae

The problem with doing things behind closed doors is shady things can be done. On XDA, you must post sources etc, and any XDA mod can inspect your ROM and hold you accountable. I'm not saying anyone has bad intentions, just that it opens up way more possibilities for foul play.

That's what I wanted to say with "grab software in a secure way". XDA is a reliable source and you can count on mods that control the stuff. Imho that's a reason why XDA is the No.1 in android development.

Just stumbled upon this thread in the Discussion section, and had a few remarks to make.
1) I value @smitharro's contributions to potter and it is unfortunate that he is leaving this device's forum.
2) The developers do this work for free, on their own accord, with their own precious time. They are welcome to use any platform available to their liking. While I do prefer XDA, there is plenty of organization on Telegram as well; the announcements link posted above me is perfect for anyone not wanting to sift through thousands of unrelated messages.
3) Potter has great development, I really don't know how someone could possibly want to leave... but to each their own.
Enjoy your G6!
Edit: Made a little softer. I don't want to make anyone angry or frustrated.

3) Why do you, @smitharro, feel the need to publicize this? To me it seems to be an attention grab and playing the victim. You have already voiced your opinion on the issue (as you have the right to) but it becomes repetitive and annoying at a point. You don't know that the developers "hate" XDA because you do not know what they think, nor do you know that they wanted you to "leave" by the same path of logic.
I'll get off my soapbox now. Enjoy your G6 smitharro.

Thanks for your words. I buried the case, after my frustration sank. Sorry I bothered people with this. Hope to see development in the Moto G6 Plus section soon!

I have no real opinion on this but thought I could add a couple things to clarify:

Git sources are publicly available regardless of where new builds are posted. If someone doesn't know to look for this without a link being put right in front of their face, they probably don't know how to review the code to confirm their security while using it, either. (For the record, I'm also not smart enough to do this myself.)
Unless you build something yourself, you can't really guarantee that what the dev has compiled is exactly what you see in the source code that has been made available. Telegram or XDA, you're putting the same level of trust in the same individuals.
You'd also be remiss to believe that all XDA mod take the time and have the expertise to review every code repository posted to their site. That's not counting closed source content, which is shared both here and on Telegram. It's always going to be up to the user to make responsible choices. Or not. :highfive:

Moto g5 is dead ? Join Telegram

Q.Is moto g5 community dead ?
A. Nearly
Here's why:
Due to a unpleasant experience in this community. Lots of blind builders. No testers . Most of us devs are little active on XDA to this awful community. Join our telegram so you can help us instead of **** posting in our threads. Our new telegram group . here
