are there any developers out there that can help me with this windowsmobile7 series that i am making for windows mobile standard
you'll have a better response if you post in "development and hacking general." if you do that let a mod know that they can close this one.

This forum is called "Dream android development," but it seems like most of the posts are not really related to Android development, but rather Dream/Android hacking.
It might be more helpful for everyone to easily find what they are looking if a separate Dream forum were created called "Dream Hacking" and all these hacking-related posts moved there... and then this forum could be dedicated to development (OS/ROM/application development, coding, etc.).
There are several forums dedicated to Android Development (like anddev.org and the dev forum at talkandroid.com), but I like xda-developers for all my HTC-related development forum needs!
Thoughts?
Also, because I'm in the Dream Android Development forum I suppose I ought to post something about Android Development... does anyone have any suggestions or experience on implementing a Trial Period feature in an Android app? I could write a date to a file that marks the first time the user runs the app, and then check that date on every run to see if they are past their trial period end date. But what's to stop the user from uninstalling and reinstalling, to get a new install date and trial period?

I definitely agree. Splitting development and hacking into two forums makes sense. Let's move all the rooting threads over to a new hacking forum and keep the discussion of application development here.
I believe XDA uses development as the PC word for hacking if you look at all of the other forums that do the same thing this thread does for other OS it is called development which really is what is done in this thread as no one is really hacking per say because it is all open source.
Also, who is going to go through 60 pages of threads and move the relevant ones to a new subforum?
Sounds like a good idea, but I have to agree with Plastriq.
If I was a mod, I definitely would not want to go through and re-organize a whole subforum and split it up, when it already worked well enough for the everyday user to be okay with it...
I'm pretty sure the moderators here feel somewhat the same.
I made the suggestion to the admins. I will send them over here. I agree we need another forum... however I think one forum should be for help and one for development/hacking while keeping the dream forum for news/info and the other forums for their intended purpose.
Maybe one could be for Android development or Android Modification and one could be for Android Application development.
I like the idea of splitting this section.

Okay, then how about renaming this thread to "Dream Android Modification" (or Hacking... and even though it's open source, most of it is still hacking... because Google doesn't explicitly allow rooting, flashing the ROM, etc. on non-Dev Phone 1's).
Then create a new forum called Android Development, and give it a higher priority/level... because there will be several Android devices in the near future besides the Dream, and we don't need an Android Development forum for each individual device.

They're still left with the problem of moving all of the current development threads into the new forum... :/
You do have a point though, sooner or later there will be different Android devices. Cleaning up the forums, as daunting a task as it might be right now, will be better than waiting until later when it ABSOLUTELY NEEDS to happen and they're more overloaded.
As said I would have no problem cleaning them up and have asked in the staff forums.
If any of you would like to help once the forums are made just shoot me a PM with all the threads that should be moved and I will move them even faster.
At first, I wanted to get more responds by posting this at a more popular section. But I still post it here, hope that some of the developer that I really admired can read and reply my post here.
Like A_C, Ariey.
My question is where can I learn to be a developer?
ANy link for me?
Check the skicky's in development and hacking next time, here you go.
Why is the iPhone the top phone in the forum list and not the HD2?
This is purely a question and in no way meant to start some kind of crazy "Which is the best phone" argument that can be found all over this forum. I just find it ironic for an anti Apple community. Or is that the point, showing off what we don't aspire to be?
If anybody knows I'm interested.
Regards
what list?

Because XDA is not really meant for the Iphone, but they had to include it somewhere. And its not really the phone specifically. It is for IOS. So if you look at the forum list, it goes Android, Windows Mobile, WP7, then IOS. Below that is when it starts going into actual devices.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
I understand w8 is supposed to one is for all, but how about a section just for w8 devs / apps for the surface? I'm assuming this is going to be mostly PRO versions of the device, given the shortcomings of the arm version.
thoughts?
There was a full Surface section and now its just under the Winodws 8 section
What happened?
Hacks for Win RT or Surface RT can go under Win8 dev forum, or here. I think any additional forum would depend on how active the development community will be for Surface. It wastes resources, and makes XDA look bad in the bargain, if created forums become ghost towns--to wit, the Kindle Fire HD dev forums.

I see your point. My thinking was if any deving happens on the surface would disappear in the w8 dev section, quick.
Short of things related to the hardware, there's nothing about Surface RT that's not relevant to other Windows RT devices, and nothing about Surface Pro that's not relevant to Win8 tablets in general. I actually think what we need is more WIn8 forums, rather than more Surface forums. For example, one forum specifically devoted to dev & hacking on RT, where stuff like the work to get around the third-party desktop app restriction would go, and one forum for general Metro-style development, where people could post beta (or homebrew, non-store) versions of their apps, ask for advice or translations, etc. Currently there's just General (which is almost all Q&A, much of it quite basic stuff) and then the dev&hacking forum for all of Win8 (and by extension Windows RT) which covers everything from Store apps to registry tweaks.
Hi all, I would like to ask community members to take part in a short survey designed to understand the dynamics of innovation collaboration processes between user communities such XDA Developers and device manufacturers.
In particular looking at assessing the degree to which external innovation communities contribute to the internal innovation output of Android smartphone and tablet device hardware and software manufacturers.
What is the best way to go about doing this?
Posting in the general forum or in specific device sub forums?
I would love to get as many respondents as possible so perhaps someone could point me in the direction of an official news author?
Any help much appreciated!

Greetings,
Please be sure to read the sticky threads for XDA Assist. This is not a help desk. Our purpose here is to assist new members in finding their way around XDA. We provide a link to the best forum or a thread already in existence for the issues at hand. Senior members are expected to know how to use search and find the best location for their questions. That being said, your thread would be best suited in the General section of XDA.
Thanks for understanding.
