Suggestion to Mod's

I dont mean to be bothersome...
Since the kaiser upgrading thread is getting really really messy.
Maybe we should open a new WinMo6.1 section.
Kind of like the have winMo6 for the hermes and all those phones.
It will make it eaisier for people and chefs to organize everything.
If this is 2 much to ask please delete this thread.
Thanks Everyone

I second this.

i also agree this..

I agree. The buzz and releases surrounding WM6.1 requires a subforum.

I also agree

I totally Agree, i m confused all oever again.

I agree as well - 6.1 has opened another can of worms. While we're making requests, perhaps the posts that say only "downloading", "flashing", "Wahoo!" and other inane comments that do not contribute to the forum in any way could be filtered out.
Cheers-

Or maybe a section just for ROM's????
I agree, it is kinda messy.

i concur. i'm lost in all of the information right now as well.

If there was a section just for ROM's, it might help out for the stickies as well

i really have no prob with how it is.

how bout a section for cooked roms? probably the same as windows 6.1.

And also a way to compile all the stickies, they're taking up space.. Its annoying to scroll down for the meat of the forum.

BUMP: For one reason or another I don't think this thread got enough attention. I sincerely believe that we need a subforum for the Kaiser. Windows 6.1 sort of like the subform of WM 6.0 for the Herald and many others

I will bring this up with the mods and admins to see the direction they want to go.

Cooked ROM with Iphonez

I searched but didn't find any solutions to this. I am wanting to know it anyone has, or CAN make a ROM with iPhonez program, and just a few other apps, like
-iDialer
-iContact0.9
-ImageViewer0.9
-Calc.Pro.v2.0.8
-TouchFLO 2d Dialer Letters v1.0
-PCMKeyboard
-Opera_v9.5_build_15233_QVGA
-iWeather_v0.3
-ThumbCal_1.2.5
I've done MEGA testing, and these i have found to be the best ones overall for speed, and iphone looking. The ONLY reason i am asking about maybe burning these to a complete ROM is because of the following
-iPhonez (touchflo2d does the same sh*t freq.) closes out A LOT
-Opera also closes freq. Sometimes once every 10-15 seconds, sometimes not for a few minutes.
I usually have on the average of about 12.50-13MB of Program space Free. Is this not the best solution? I am assuming it IS since it will create the most amount of space by cooking them in a ROM, since i have seen available cooked ROM's with more programs then in my list, it will free up space, as well as not crashing 2 of the main programs SO often and easily (IE-iPhonez and Opera) because of them now being in the ROM instead of loading from memory space.
If not, what IS crashing them so often? And what CAN i do to stop the programs from crashing? Thanks for any insite and/or help for me. I've been trying SO hard and spending weeks, daily, mixing and matching, and reading, and learning, but can't seem to find any concrete answers.

Thread will be moved to the Q&A section. Please post in the right section and read the rules.

Well, gee, it WOULD be nice to follow the instructions if i actually got help when I DID post in the proper forum. Nice attitude from a moderator. Sad that as busy as this place is, no one is friendly enough to help.

My friend... please take care in your context, Nir moved your thread to a better place where people (such as myself) come to help those with problems. You will get a speedier reply in this section as there is a team who have voluntarilly given up their time to help those in need.
If you would like to help yourself and others to help you, try and give some more info about your device, or you will not get an answer at all.
Not wanting to sound like im on my high horse, just giving you a friendly piece of advice

i agree if youd have posted in the coreect place the moderator wouldnt have had to do your work for you
and please done be rude to the people your asking for help this is known as biting the hand that feeds

[SUGESTION]Separate Themes from Apps. This section of the forum is just messy!

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...

http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=263
That's ridiculously easy to find. You just look.

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!

We need a rom sub forum

We need a Rom sub forum under samsung captivate so all the roms are in one places and not all mixed up under development.

Wouldn't they still need to be in the development forum..since most are a works in progress ? I could see having a sticky with links and screen shots of them but they would have to be locked down otherwise they would get cluttered up with all of the questions being asked about them..
Mac

yes locked down or something cause they are freaking cluttered now.

I'll bump it now. Guy tried to put together a sticky like this, but never got stickied.
Well can't find it now.

But where would the feedback go though... and all those "how do i turn on my phone so i can install this rom" questions?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835928
im trying to gather resources to make a website devoted to presenting ROM's in a easy to use way. check it out. thanks

so ive been pondering on this all day and this is my conclusion:
how about the development section actually being a developement section, and all "what modem should i use?" or "will this work the the i900 kernal?" or the "when is the updated version coming out?" could go in the q&a section where they belong, what we need are more mods that are a little more active in moving threads and deleting unnecessary posts out of the development section, can you imaging how much more smooth our devs could work if they didnt have to sort through 20 posts to find one that might help them with the actually development.
oh and one more thing, that captivate bible thing, that was an excellent idea, would have done a lot of great things and helped many people, but no one goes through and updates it, what a waste :/

I found this a while back. I found out quite a-bit about our phones from it...Seems to me since this is already up and running..maybe the owner wouldn't mind adding a section for custom Roms and maybe the themes as well ? Wouldn't hurt to ask them anyway..I did just a few minutes ago
Mac

The easiest way is to look for the threads Labled {Rom}? This has been brought up over and over again. It tried a few times but never went anywhere as most at to busy to keep the roms on more then one website. As for the questions being asked they belong in the thread for the rom they use and not in Q&A.

I think he was talking about all the other questions in the development section. What Im talking about is something like just roms in a section, if u want to ask questions or talk about rom fine but be only under that rom thread, U would have a Section Clean of all kinds of post and other development stuff, Have a certain format for titles in the rom section, where it would be uniform. I know there still under development but it would be clean, and easy to find.

I like this idea. It should be formatted sort of like DG's thread. All questions goes on that thread for development and on the first page the links would point to the ROM section where people can download the roms they need look at screen shots.

Lions, Tigers, and Stickies, OH MY!

Seriously, can we clean this **** up?
Guides/How to's: fine
Roms: dumb

Good Luck.

You want to volunteer?

While Venelar lacks tact, I do kinda agree.
Why are roms stickied in this subforum? This isn't behavior I see in other subforums.
If I'm browsing on my gtablet, it requires scrolling through a couple screens of things that haven't been updated in a while to get to a lot of the new posts.
Would people want a stickied thread that has links to all the roms and kernels currently in development? I'd probably be willing to help with that.

I moderate elsewhere, wouldn't be a big deal imo. Anyway, lack of tact aside it is out of control in this section of the board. I've seen complaints on a few threads about it and when the preferred method of viewing this particular forum is through the "buggy at best" xda app (so that stickies are on another tab) from the tablet i think that says a lot.
some guide consolidation/and unsticking rom threads would work wonders to spruce the place up a bit.

You might want to take it up with TheImpaler747. Wouldn't this be something for the moderators to iron out?
Not trying to be aloof - I actually agree with you and had asked for the same, about 2 weeks back.

Maybe guides and how-to's can get their own sub-forum. We have many stickied guids/how-tos/faqs in the g-tab general, and now there is the new gTab q+a.
Maybe put all guides/how-tos/faqs/things that are sticky in their own sub-forum (aka gTab info) and then have q+a, development, and app talk. Seems like that would cover the breakdown of topics a little better.
Also, seriously, who sends a complaint about the number of stickies. Weak.

Development is where Roms belong not pissing and moaning about stickied threads.

Agreed. And posting this thread in the very forum you're complaining about doesn't help matters - it just perpetuates it.
This process of stickying threads that are tried and true and helpful, etc. is followed in many other forums.
As to guides/how-tos... DEFINITE good idea. Just need someone to do it instead of us mods who are swamped as it is.
Thanks.

I think the links should stay about the same if you move everything though, so that's good, lol.
I volunteer myself jerdog

The how-to's would be great in the "Q&A" forum so people can read those first in hopes they'll read them and possibly get their question answered before posting another thread.

Why not create an all encompassing "G-Tablet Bible" Thread that includes links to how-to's, roms, guides, and other helpful info. Lots of forums implement this method of organization. If the EVO forum can stay clean, this should be able to as well.
Seems like you already have a couple of volunteers that would do it, now it's just a matter of making it, getting it stickied, and erasing the other stickies.

I thought the development sub forum was where developers gathered to exchange hacks and fixes for ROMs. I would of though ROMs ready for play would have their own sub thread... I had requested this as well a week or so back. It is a bit messy. I dont see any reason to bash a guy who is asking for something that would benefit everyone. If we cant play nice together in the benefit of making a better G Tab then i suggest we all return them! It aint a good product without the support of a good community. Just my 2 cents.

I started a thread over in the development section with a listing of most of the ROMS and Kernels that were stickied and plan on finishing it after I get home from work. Hopefully this will help in the organization of forums as I couldn't agree more on how unorganized it looks with so many stickies.
