hello gents
i was wondering why diamond users should have a separate subforum for themes and applications ?
we have our own designers and developers , most of tweaks conflicts when we're using diamond's tweakers , some themes dont have portrait icons or same things always happens ...
we should have same sub forum ...
dont u guys think ?
That would be useful indeed.
I subscribe to your proposal...
my thoughts exactly...
Yup would be good
would be great....
perhaps we could have a merged forum with the diamond one, or a linked subforum under the diamond themes and such for touch pro
merging and subforums would be messy tho as some thigns do not work from diamond in here we would need to link to things that do which would take while

true, but if we have a themes/whatever forum, then its going to be full of links/duplicate content in the diamond forum...

I'm agree with you, we need to this subforum.
Yes please
Agreed. But please separate themes/apps; the diamond sections kanda show that is a must.
Cheers,
Cacti
yep! a subforum here is a must!
I also find it a good idea,sometimes like a other user here says: i try a tweak from the diamond,and it don't work etc etc.
So yes,sounds great
Me too +1.
We can post application/themes related posts in appropriate forums. When something is related to a device only, we can post in the device forum.
I'll second the req, even though i dont have a raphael yet, but once/if i get the Fuze it would definitely be helpful to have things separated...
I agree - I'm loving the fact that there has been a few months' worth of development on the Diamond ahead of the Touch Pro, however there are quite a few incompatibilities...even if it were just a subforum on the Diamond Apps forum for Touch Pro specific threads...
Good idea!
so whats the procedure for doing this ?
how can we inform moderators ?
Through PM?
That would be very nice!!

Seeing as the admins here are stubbornly refusing to create a dedicated sub forum for the x7510, I've set up a free forum which may be found here: http://htcathena.freeforums.org
Please note: I don't WANT to be running a seperate board and I'd prefer to have a sub forum here. However, for as long as the admins ignore our requests I'll keep that forum running.
Should a dedicated x7510 sub forum be created here I will close that forum down. Closing down may be deleting it, or if there were many useful posts simply preventing new posts, so that it dies a slower death over time.
This is NOT an attempt at blackmail, but rather me trying to avoid more devices being bricked.
PS: Please excuse the ads on that site - I've gone with the completely free option, so I'm saddled with the ads!
What's the big deal?

What reason could the xda admins possibly have for not creating a sub-forum for the 7510? Or even an entirely new forum? Look at the Elf and the Vogue.
Anyone know the admins' reasoning on this?
Isn't in my mod powers to create a sub section... I am asking to the admins, again. I hope we will have some answers soon

Thank you, although I have to say at this stage I'm quite annoyed with the admins, especially seeing as they cannot even be bothered to respond to any request!
elf and vogue are totally different devices which happen to look the same
one is cdma and one is gsm and they work in totally different ways. the vogue has 400mhz prcessor and the elf 201mhz
also to be perfectly honest, how can people not tell the difference between x7510 and x7500/x7501
you bought a device that cost £700 (according to expansys) so surely you know its model name. and because of the cost, if you see x7500/x7501 unlocker you will be wary of using it, even if you think its a typing error
and on the subject of the elf, the elf has 2 variants elf (64 ram and 128 rom) and elfin (128 ram and 256 rom)
both are different and only the elf has hard spl
flashing one rom for one onto the other will brick it
so the same probs as here
but they deal with it and have stickies saying how to distinguish between them and where to go for hat, and seperate guides for flashing roms onto the elf and elfin etc etc
so maybe thats whats neded here
i think the admins are probably fed up of people requesting fora only to have them empty:gene, pharos, juno, sedna are all pretty empty forums that were massively requested and yet not much comes out of them
and now i just counted the votes in the "we want an x7510 section" thread nd there are 33 in 3 months
yes 33
not exactly a huge number is it
But you may all think im just raining on your parade, but im not, I completely understand why you want a new section, but im just trying to highlight why the admins probably dont want it, there are so many new devices which have massive appeal, compared to a £700 device which is essentially an 18 month old device in new casing.
And so in conclusion, I think a sticky explaining he differences between x7510 and stuff is whats needed. Plus, cmones seemed keen to make (or try and make) you guys a hard spl, so why doesnt someone whose a senior (or old) member contact HER and see what she can come up with. she will probably need rom dumps and stuff, but I'm sure she can do it. after all she and others got custom roms on the shift.
night guys, and I hope it works out for you all, and nobody else bricks their devices...

Now THAT was helpful! Why didn't anybody else think about it!
But seriously, CMONEX confirmed she is working on a hard SPL/unlocker and happens to agree with the need for a seperate sub-forum, for a number of valid reasons.
The thing is that a sub-forum will not affect anybody else on XDA-Devs - it won't require more resources, nor more bandwidth. It takes a minute to set up and it may well save several devices.
So please tell me in great detail why there SHOULDN'T be a seperate sub-forum? Why SHOULDN'T things be better organised than the current "pile-everything-into-one-pot" mess? And how exactly will YOU be any worse off should a sub-forum be created?
You will be worse off, won't you? Why else would you be against it?

I agree with you on that, NanoRuler. E.g. without the latest Athena ROM link by sergiopi (thanks for it), I wasn't even able to compare all existing ROMs for the x7500 at a glance, there are too many threads spread over the entire forum.
Regarding the x7510, a new sub forum would possibly give a better overview. It hasn't been of major importance until now, but it will become necessary very fast, once the x7510 can be unlocked...we should get prepared for that moment. ;-)

My, what an excellent example of good organisation....NOT. Maybe what's required is a rethink in how the forums are structured, eh? And maybe having distinct sub forums for the different models of Athena will help a great deal.

Let me re-phrase your sentiment: I don't want you guys to benefit from a seperate section (even though I'm not directly affected!) and I certainly don't want things to become more organised and anyway there's so few of you that your opinion doesn't matter, but hey, here's to no more bricked devices!
I'll be polite here and let you choose the 1st word, but the second word of my reply is certainly "OFF!"

you think thee are lots of roms here, go look at damond rom development and then tell us there are loads of roms here...
I really dont mind or care if theres a seperate section, but I can see why you want one, and also why the admins havent made it
I think a seperate section would actually help dev for us, as we could use your roms and port between the two and stuff.. it would lead to a better dev community here
nano, don't take your anger out on rory. He's not a mod and undeserving of your "**** off".

Yes, he's not a mod, but he also did not need to try and build a case against the wishes of quite a few members here using poorly thought out strategies.
He was dismissive without having any reason to be and essentially stated that our opinion doesn't matter (although he didn't quite put it in those words).
Finally, I specifically did NOT tell him to **** off, but gave him some choice in the phrase.
Either somebody's part of the solution...
fair play

Hi!
I'm a new member of this forum and I've seen a lot of threads about new skins for the HTC touch diamond and my question is, how do I change the theme and the skin of HTC Touch Diamond? (I've installed the "special" program you need in order to do this")
This might be quite easy for you to do, but I've just bought an HTC Touch Diamond and I'm still learning.

Hello.
Guys - don't you think it is time to split developement AND skinning to 2 subforums?
I cannot find anything useful lately, skins for sad apps everywhere, ripped sad htc soft etc..but nothing useful...
So, admins, plz, consider it..
Good things are drowning there..
I agree with this. Its too hard to find things these days. Or even to determine if you are looking for an app or a skin
I realize this involves this section of the forum, but we ARE trying to keep it Dev&Hack ONLY.. no questions and so.
this thread will be moved.
good day
Yes I also agree, skinning has become way too big to included in development and hacking.
Thread Moved to General Forum!

thanks a lot.
GUI fun and soft development should be separated, imo.
many good software/betas/ideas have drown under another manilla rip/edit/whatever.
making something working under other machine, ok, - "development etc", but another skin for something is just modification, so "skinning, and modifications"...
Why are themes mixed with applications? It's a mess...
Why can't there be one section for themes and other for applications?
I won't say it a mess but Yes, that would be better...
Agreed. There is too much stuff going on with HD2 now, and the biggest problem is the new things fall back and many of the users even don't see the new posts.
I agree.
I´ve been here since Kaiser forum was the "hottest" thing on XDA, but even that is nothing in comparison of the "hottness" of Leo's forum.
Sometimes good things almost get lost with all those topics popping out during the day.
So far, i thank RSS, but separated Apps and Themes fora would be nice.
+1 too Apps & Themes should be separated for easier view or search.
I think thats a great idea
People will still ignore the forum titles and start threads where they want to.
Take this one, for example. It should not be in the themes and apps forum of the HD2 as it has diddly-squat to do with either the HD2, themes or apps.
There is a forum for this type of conversation.
Like I said - people will post where they want. You'll just get used to it.
Saying that, you could then have a forum just for tweaks...
The idea is good.... But Johncmolineux is right, it will change nothing....
Xda is like Ali Baba's cave... It's a big mess, but a mess I finally like. At the end I always find what I'm looking for.

I've tried to find a place to post this and did not succeed. And if this is about this section, it's not that wrong to be here. But I've posted here not because I simple want but because I did not find a suggestions section. An Apps and a Thread sections inside the HD2 section of XDA will be very easy to find.
By that way of thinking we should not have 4 HD2 sections, we should only have one... since people make mistakes in where to post...

Yeah, I've seen that. But wasn't sure if it was for suggestions about the forum. And then, if I post there probably most of the users of the HD2 sections will not see it.

Surely you're making a suggestion about the site, not the HD2, which is why you should post it in a forum that is for the site. That's all.
There's actually a thread in that forum for suggestions for the mods. That's the best place to ask a question that relates to the site.

I disagree, John.
Of course you're correct in as much as SOME people (particularly people new to the site) will always start threads where they want to. But I would say that MOST people (particularly experienced posters) stick to the rules regarding posting new threads in the correct section and those who don't quickly have the errors of their ways pointed out to them!
I also disagree that this particular thread is 'out on place' in the Themes and Apps section. The OP wanted to gauge feeling amongst current users of this section as to his suggestion of splitting the section into two. Who's going to see it if it's hidden away somewhere else on the forum?
Just my thoughts... No criticism of others' opinion meant...
Btw... I would also be in favour of a split.
I would like to see this happen too, but im sure it would be hassell for anybody that needs to get it uptodate/tidy!

Yes it would need some hard work... But we could keep this actual sections as the themes section for example, and then the users would report the threads that needed to be moved, that way the moderators won't need to be checking all threads...
What about having actual MODERATORS on this forum??? Cause all those topics that are made dubble and dubble each and every single day are driving everybody crazy I know that for sure!! I scroll down through one page on the forum in 1 minut cause of all the same things I am reading over and over again!
Why isn't the policy here actually being applied??? Why aren't the moderators HARSHER?? (if there are moderators cause I only have seen one here on the Leo's forums).....
I am sure 90% of the people here think like me, especialy when there ar epeople who only register to this forum to make a topic and ask a question and don't bother to search and when they got their answer never bother to look on tthis forum again.......
Really, the policy should be looked after and there should be at leaste 5 times more moderators than there are now!!!
We are missing the important threads through all the b*ll**** and sorry to say this but some people don't have time to spend hours a day on this forum! We have to work/study, I am sure many agree with me!
Just wondering if anyone else agrees that it might be good if there was a sub-forum here for CHT related mods/widgets/themes etc?
Would make hunting them down and organising them a little cleaner I think?

Yah, and make it a sticky.
Hmmm anyone have lots of free time and a willingness to do that?
Either way - a centralised sticky post, or a sub-forum - would make CHT widget hunting/browsing a lot easier!
Really would be much better if it would be a collection.

I dont think that a "collection Thread" would be good, because there are always people that need help with certain things and if everything from many developers and designers is mixed in one thread, there is no way of helping those people very well.
I am not against the idea of a subforum, but well....I would say, that it is not THAT hard finding stuff for cht2 and most of the threads clearly tell whats inside.
In my opinion we should just leave it as it is. there are mainly 10-15 pages that you really would have to browse through to get all the chtv2 stuff and if you ask in the post your today screen-Thread you will be helped instantly^^
U have my vote. I agree with a sub-forum. Perhaps it's not necessary right now but it will be... because I know that this sense mod will be growing and growing.
