[Feature request] Sort topics by last time edited - About xda-developers.com

Hello everybody,
I can't figure out how no one asked for this feature before me xD
It's all in the title : I would like to sort a forum's topic by last time edited, and/or, at least, have the last edit date below the publish date when applicable.
For example, if I want to know what's the most updated ROM for some old device I have, considering the index list isn't updated since a while (which is fine), it would be useful if I didn't have to open all threads in the android development section to see which has been updated recently.
I know that posters often put the last ROM update in the topic's title, but not everybody does it.
Thanks !
EDIT : so I actually made a userscript for it lol

No order

Hello, guys!
The forum is super but here is ocmplete disorder. Where are the ROMS?
How can one find a ROM file here?? The forum is huge and the search leads to discontinued results (2008 year)
Can someone point me to ROM file archive here?
BR
I'd demand a full refund of the money you've paid....
Seriously, if you scroll down through this list a few pages, some kind person has compiled a thread with all the links in one place. Search is terrible and you have to spend lots of your own time. Still, it's free.
Man its full of ROMs. Most active topics or most discussed ROMs are showed on first page. U dont need to search, just click on thread one the rom u like. Its noted by Cook, Built, WM version, sense version, and ROM Version.
Its easy as it can be.
But it's a mess here!
No normal instructions. All are outdated.
Well, as it was said - it's free and therefore it's messy.
ROMs here - one file, no Ruupdate.exe , no nothing. Like if any user comming here is a professional HTC developer. I am simple user and i am sick of spending hours of my time by gathring info by tips. Well, like i said -- good forum, but no order.
What are you complainin?
Please just have a look at recent posts as already said.
The threads where you have a lot of activity are the threads with new roms.
There are also plenty of tutorials!
For example this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211
For sure you will need some time to compare different roms and find your best fitting one....which comes with the big choise of roms.
And also there will be little problems from time to time which I'm sure you can solve in a short amount of time.
I can recommend the google search, not built in forum search.
Concerning flashing you don't need to use Ruupdate.exe, it's way easier to name your .nbh file DIAMIMG.nbh, move it to the phone's internal storage and flash directly (see tutorial)
Kind regards and have fun with your new roms

My complain is that forum is full of unimportant trash in topics and no really helpfull info. Like now, i have found a ROM, flashed it and i lost TouchFlo ) Super!
And no original ROMS, only some outdated.
Well, i am a bit tired reading this forum today within 8 hours to find more or less fresh tut, so i can not tell you exactly what is wrong, but i am telling you - i am professional software developer, not a lamer and not a pumpkin head BUT i lost in this forum, jumping from link to link.
I would delete ALL and put all in order:
Flash (ROM) files here:
Radio files here:
Boot loaders (Hard SPL or whatever it's called) here:
Flashers (Software) here:
Tutorials here:
Discussion here:
Instead i see 13248 topics with xxxxx messages inside and 1% of useful info.
Well, if you take donations then make it user friendly.
I will donate 100 USD to make it in order.
And PS - this is a problem that there are Plenty or tutorials!
Like we say in my language - brevity wit! Try to write the less and put sense the more.
Like when i read - hard SPL... then 100 lines text, cheers to authors and then - a patched bootloader..
LOL

Update notification (for new releases)

Hi folks
there are a lot of software developers which release their software in the specific forum, for example "Windows Mobile Software Development".
Normally all do it the same way: the first post contains the latest software version, and then the disucussion is ongoing.
when a new version is coming, the author is editing the first post with the release notes and the new link. then the discussion continues at the end of the thread for the new version.
As a user of some tools, I want to know when a new version is released.
The problem is that I did not found a way to get a notification for this.
A subscription to the thread for new posts is not helping. It needs something like 'subscription for editing the first post'.
It would be great to have a such feature here.

- Please delete - [New Firmware] i9250XWKK8 - ITL41F Exclusive for Modaco

ALL THANKS GO TO MODACO MEMBER SECANY, NOT ME!
There's a new firmware out, build date 24th of November. secany, who originally posted the file, only wants this posted on MoDaCo as his thread title says. So here's only the link to his thread:
http://android.modaco.com/topic/349407-odin-firmware-i9250xwkk8-itl41f/
A few facts:
- wipes your phone completely - back up first!
- volume is fixed in this release, so seems to be quite new.
- Radio version is XXIK1
- Pauls UI patches seem to make the buttons completely disappear, so don't flash these.
For everything else, please read the original thread. I only posted to let you know about the new firmware.
Besides, secany says he's already running a build from Nov 29th, so seems he gets the testing firmware directly from google or from another source, just like a few guys here in xda forums
Cheers

Lol sorry, forget it. Old news is old. Just didn't see it, didn't even pop up in the "similar" window you see before posting a new thread Sorry guys.
Mods, feel free to delete if unnecessary.

rom version related posts

When a developer publishes a new rom version,
all of the rom's forum titles are changed to the new title.
if I want to read/post concerning a specific version -
it takes ages to find the right place for it.
why not announce the new version in the OP but leave the old titles as they are ?
anybody feels the same ?
The only thing that generally changes in the title is the latest release date. It helps when people are choosing which rom they want. I personally wouldn't have it any other way and it is pretty typical format.
hey guys maybe wring forum but please direct me to the right one? i am after a ics rom that i can flash onto my samsung galaxy s2 4g GT-I9210T
Wrong thread but that's OK. Check out development here:

Bug with topic editing (Edit project).

I publish a firmware update (for Xperia M2) every month and edit the first post.
After editing on May 25, the whole topic disappeared.
Nobody sees her, I only see her in my subscriptions - but I can’t open it (you do not have permission to access this page.)
I checked it now on another topic - the topic also disappeared, after the Edit project.

Sir, I apologise that it took a while but the web gurus were able to create a fix that seems to have solved the problem.
Please have a look; as far as I see your "lost" threads are back.
Stay safe and stay healthy!

Oswald Boelcke
