Let's bring out our wishes to HTC developers
why posted here? why is so hard to understand how this forum is organized? why not in general discussion?! this forum is for ROM development, ppl come here to see and download newly ROMs.
this thread (if not moved) is going to become another long, "chat" thread and continuously occupy a slot in the main page pushing other, more important and forum related posts in the second page.
please read the rules and understand them before u post!
***Due to popular Request & In an attempt to clean up the Hero Forum we have started a CDMA Hero ROMS Sticky Wiki page listing all curently available Roms.***
On this page you will find all links to the current stickies in this forum (which will be "unstickied")
There will be no stickies in Hero Section, so please don't ask. Go to the Wiki and put your sticky there.
As is the nature of the Wiki please feel free to edit and place a link with a short description of your post. You can also edit the appearance of the page and how it is layed out.
Hopefully you will all add your relevant links to the Wiki and update them as required.
This will, in theory, provide a one stop Index page which should, if this works, be a useful resource to all.
This will of course only work if YOU, the users, keep it up to date and clean.
Greetz and thank you for your help in getting the Hero Forum back in to shape (it has become a little flabby yes?)
Sugestions and feedback are always welcome. This thread will be regularly cleaned, so dont be offended if your post disappears from here.

Attention devs!
As you probably have experienced first hand, the development forum is getting cluttered with support requests, rom requests, thank you's and whatnot.
Hopefully this will help:
If you create a development thread for your ROM/Kernel/Project/etc, in Infuse Development, also create a Q&A thread on the Q&A forums and link to that Q&A thread in your first post. Also add this, in the same font size and color:
Any questions regarding this ROM/Kernel/Project WILL NOT be answered here. For answers go to: [insert url to Q&A thread here]
Why? Well, if we can manage a development thread to hold ONLY development and technical discussion (as in, bug reports, logs, etc) which will HELP OUT in development, development will be much more efficient and fast.
The Q&A thread will be used for all other discussion.
Simply copy the title of your dev thread to the Q&A forums and add the [Q&A] tag in front of it.
ie: [Q&A][ROM] Neo's Infuse whatever rom 1.0
ATTENTION Devs - [TAGS]
As our Development forum grows, I'd like to ask you to use tags on your thread titles, to make it more uniform and clear. Here are the generally used tags mostly used in other development forums.
[ROM]
To indicate that the thread is in fact a rom. This has to be the first Tag for your title.
[OFFICIAL]
To indicate that the rom is from an Official source. Depending on if the rom is an official one or not, this tag has to come in second.
[LANG] (Not required for English ROMS)
Indicate the language of the rom if it is not English, preferably with 2-4 character mentions. If you carry ROMs with multiple language options, please use the tag [MULTILANG]
[REF]
Reference Threads
[REQ]
Requisition Threads
[TUT]
Tutorial Threads
Additional Tags
[GUIDE]
[DUMP]
[PROJECT]
[HOW TO
Will be moved to Q&A since they come more to their right there.
And remember to post the sources of your Kernels...ALWAYS!!!
We thank you for cooperating with us and for all your hard work & continued support of XDA.
Rules for Development UPDATED
So, you want to post in development? Ask yourself this:
Is what I am going to post a question?
If so, this is not the right place to post a new thread. Instead, use the SEARCH function to find a thread about your question. If that's not available, post your question in General. (Q&A coming soon!)
Am I developing something and want to share it?
If this is the case, Please do! This is the correct forum and you are free to post your ROM/App/Game/Etc, if it is compliant with the next rule:
Is what I am sharing publicly available (free)?
So, no registration needed to download, but more importantly, no charges. If you want to earn money with a ROM/App/Game/Etc. you can, but also put up a free version. We call paid versions like this: "donation" version.
Try to keep the development forum CLEAN! I cannot stress this out more. No offtopic posting and no questions.
Use the report button in an offending post to let us mods know we need to take action. (or just PM me. )
Did I brush my teeth this morning?
Seriously, check that.
All posts that are NOT about ROM development, or development in general will be closed or deleted.
This list may get longer as we progress, but for now, happy posting. Oh, and if you find anything abusive or not following the rules, use the report function in the post.
Thanks!

This is a very well put together site, but one thing is, that too many new devices coming out, and there are too many requests in the first forum, so why not open a complete new section for requesting new forums, so it doesnt fill up the 'about xda developers' forum.....comments please
As mentioned in the thread title, I'm asking what's required for a device to have it's own dedicated page on the site.
I'm asking because I was just looking up the Lenovo K3 Note and, it seems to be an actively developed and engaged phone (130+ pages and counting) but it's all relegated to 1 thread in the "Miscellaneous Android Development" section.
Thanks for your time.
You can make your request for a forum in the thread linked below. The admin have a few factors that play into deciding whether or not a new forum is created for a specific device, though. You may inquire in the thread below.
