I sure love the XDA site and am sad to have to look elsewhere once I pick up my Droid today. Is there any chance of XDA getting a forum for it on here?
I know that it's normally a HTC only site, but the Sony Ericcson X1 has it's own forum. I assume that's not made by HTC?

Wrong. X1 is made by HTC, that is why it has a forum. No Non-HTC devices here.
Gotcha, thanks for clearing that up for me, even if it is a humongous bummer
Long Live XDA.
Understood the Droid is not an HTC device, so anyone know of an XDA-like forum for Droid users?
I really thought about waiting for an HTC device, but the only one on the horizon is the Dragon/Passion and still too little information is known on that.

WARNING
that site is an absolute zoo D;
noobs everywhere asking the most basic android questions
HOWEVER, they've already established a couple threads on rooting the droid.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4902566 also talking about this topic.
Like I said there, any mods have an opinion on the possibility of establishing a Droid forum?

as the admins have stated in the past, this site is for HTC devices only.
I am working on establishing one. If anyone wants to help It would be appreciated Especially anyone here from XDA

For Droid & Cliq / Dex users
Hmm..
What about a group of forums for the Eris (HTC Desire) which IS obviously made by HTC? Or should we keep posting in the Hero CDMA forums?
Anyone know an answer to my above post?
Anyone know an answer to my above post?
...to BestBuy and get my money back. It's a B80 serial # (HTK75.US_epad-8.6.5.13-20110925) and from lurking here it has not been rooted yet.
Can anyone give a best guess as to when it might be? I been reading that if the SBKv2 version ROM is installed that it will never be root-able. Has this been confirmed?
If this is the case, I think I know what my decision will be.

rooting requires bypassing security features. either by discovering a key to go through the front door, or by find a backdoor.
either process is done via a non-deterministic process. therefore, there will never be an ETA, or any estimates. it happens when it happens.
devices with the new SBK (B70+), can technically be rooted. no one knows how or when.

I've got the same device and I really want to root mine.
In the end it seems all devices get rooted so i just think that if we don't have
the skills to do it ourself we'll just have to wait for one of the magical wizards to
do it for us.
The device is still giving me endless joy so i don't mind waiting a bit more.
I have a non-rootable B7O. Last weekend I purchased a B6O on ebay. I've got it rooted and running Revolver, overclocked to 1.6. I have to say that the difference is stunning. The non-rootable B7O has a perfect screen with no light bleed, so I am going to keep it awhile to see if rooting comes through. Otherwise, I love using my B6O now. Love changing things like themes and buttons. Got it running Hulu last night. Really enjoy a rooted device. Pulling for you 'rayman' as you work on cracking the locked boot loader!!

I'm sorry, are you connected with this site? Are you a moderator? If not just get a life and worry about other matters.
So what if its been asked before? Maybe there is a new answer to the same question. Or maybe searching didn't provide the exact answer that I was looking for. This forum is not that huge where this is a burden. It's all text and storage is cheap. It's the nature of forums that questions will get asked repeatedly so deal with it.

Yes I am connected with this site. As are all users here. We have been asked by the mods to help keep the site clean and to report when people insist on breaking the rules. This is a developers forum not n00by spoon feeding forum and if you can't be bothered to look for the answer first then go away

Well here's the thing - there's something called Forum Rules - maybe you should check them out!
The first one says to Search before posting! Pretty self-explanatory. So the question "so what if its been asked before?" is the wrong question. The correct question is, "How do I find the forum rules so I can read them?" to be followed by the statement, "It is a good thing for users to search."
It's XDA-Developers, not XDA-SpoonFeeding-Restaurant-Dujoir.
Closing this thread.
Just got this device a few days ago and honestly its great. I really did not expect such a good device from Huawei but I am blown away by its performance for its price.. Has anyone else worked with it yet? I am trying every method I know to root the damn thing nothing seems to work
This is for the HTC Mytouch we likely will be of no help

Glad you like it but why did you buy it? Even the amaze has more development and that's a free phone AND it has more horsepower
Well I was on the HD2 But my device died and I did not have a full upgrade till next year plus I did ask about the amaze they told me it was out of stock. Also I posted in this section as there is no section for the newest MyTouch as of yet
How much are the Huawei selling for. The Q is a 4 inch qwerty phone right? If T-Mobile markets the phone for a cheap prepaid development might pick up. Otherwise you maybe stuck with stock Rom. Likely someone will figure out a root exploit

I think Its free with a new contract I payed 70 because of my partial upgrade its got a 4 inch screen qwerty keyboard 1.5ghz single core processor and 1gb of ram not too bad in my opinion and its a really solid device doesn't feel cheap at all like most Huawei phones,

screw you T-Mobile for naming all these other devices MyTouch...
again OP, i don't have ANYTHING against you, and you're not the only one doing this..but this is getting to far......sorry if i rub someone the wrong way...

OP, it's call HUAWEI Ascend G312 qwerty or try google Huawei Unite Q, Huawei U8730. They all the same. AKA my touch Q 2012.
It uses Qualcomm 8255.
I still love my htc mytouch 4g.

Ok so as some of you may know development for the Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G is taking off somewhat and yet XDA is ignoring our requests for a forum in favor of devices that aren't out yet and devices that nobody much has heard of... I am posting this to ask anyone who remembers how long it took the Doubleshot to get its own forum as well as to ask my former community to help US out. (In other words... could y'all hit up the new forum request page and thank our posts/ bump the relay lol? (If this is against xda rules I apologize) or if anyone knows someone who can expedite this situation we'd all appreciate it.
Btw update - anyone wants my DS pm me, flex cable is failed and currently I have disassembled it while grounded and yes I'm tech savvy enough to not fry components. Idk how much to ask but make an offer lol.

Maybe XDA has a personal issue with phones with QWERTY keyboards.
We encountered this issue on my previous qwerty device also and believe me we almost got top 2 on the voting thread for new devices yet till now it still don't have any forum of its own. I already asked and the reason why it didn't get its own forum was not because of the lack of the community but instead the lack of real developers to support the device. To quote what the mod I talked to he said that
"XDA-developers" is a forum made for developers. Having even a thousand active members on a specific device but only have a handful of developers won't make it eligible for its own dedicated forum. As much as we'd like to provide every device it's own forum we also consider the cluttering of the forum itself so we are just narrowing down the devices on which we could get more active development than a forum full of average user questions.
Guys try www.sdx-developers.com its a Samsung hacking site

That's the only thing we can do. I've contacted quite a few mods, and they all told me the same thing. Post in the forum. Sorry, I tried but there's nothing else i can do to expedite the process. it seems that they will only open the forum when they see fit.
@strapped, no offense, but that site seems kinda dead. Just like rootzwiki. Xda will create a thread for you guys eventually. I don't see the point in fragmenting the device across two sites. Keep at it

The scotsman messaged me back in response to a question I asked and his reply was that the decision is made by forum owners and admins over his head based on development potential of the device.
Now that, my friends, seems to be a bit of a debatable point doesn't it lol?
That being said - does anyone remember how long it took the DS to get a dedicated forum?

Well either quit *****ing about xda not making y'all a thread or try to go to sdx. A lot of guys I have dealt with are from sdx. But lemme guess its a popularity contest? Y'all are a trip wanting more then what's needed, and that's just a place to call home, I'm so glad I decided not to get that device as I see most of this community will be.

1. I'm not *****ing. I don't even have this device
2. It is a popularity contest. Xda has way more devs and exposure than the site you mentioned. Do I want more than what's needed? Of course. Who wouldn't?
3. Everyone buys a device for X reason. Avoiding a device because of the users is your choice. No one cares if you don't get this device
4. You mad bro?
Honestly I thought we were friends, but I guess not... last person I expected to come out like this was you. Unless my English went bad overnight, someone tell me I'm reading this wrong

1. If not *****ing then why not go somewhere that could potentially give a home for that device....on a Samsung hacking site.
2. Popularity? Really, being popular has nothing at all to do with development. The best dev in the world could have this device and with no home, no one would ever know. So wouldn't you rather risk it? I personally post on themikmik sdx and xda.....why more advertisement
4. Is just a personal choice because of what I see in these threads.( device and slider related in general)
5. Mad nah not me, I'm getting the N4 as soon as I save my allowance ( joking )
You got my first morning post and yes I'm tired of sdx getting played. I learned so much from them guys and a few of them brought straight cm code into Sense for a first ever seen mod that everyone uses now. So I don't agree with xda being the holy grail of hackers and only thou can come here for their needs. Xda has really stopped caring for the average user and ONLY CARE ABOUT AD REVENUE and having the devices they feel will get them the most.
So I do wanna say "I'm sorry gtmaster303". Never meant to sound like the shot was at you when it was meant for xda. They need to see and realize their not the only place to come for hacks anymore, so stop treating us like kids and only giving us what XDA wants. If they were really for the user that thread would have been made as soon as something development related could have been posted

Thanks. Although I don't agree with you completely, it's good to know you didn't go rogue on me all of a sudden. If xda wants ad revenue, they would be creating ads for every device out. Although I don't understand why they won't readily create a forum for a device that clearly needs it. I don't agree with their logic. If there's even one dev for a device, a forum should be made. That's like saying "we'll only host the most popular of devices." By that token, popularity should not ensue. And under that jurisdiction, technically the Doubleshot shouldn't exist here either. Our community is quite small, even for a dev community. Most of the daily page hits xda gets from us are the same couple dozen people, some of which login multiple times per day (because they have no life, myself included )
But popularity of the site is still necessary. not that many people know about sdx. When they look for a new phone to buy (devs and modders alike) most will come to xda and poke around to see if the activity is up to their liking. If not, they'll probably search for a new device. Main reason why I haven't switched over to a Captivate Glide or a Droid 4...
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using Tapatalk 2
I must be weird then as I bought my device because
1. It was the closest thing to a G3 on the market and
2. I was (and still am) angry with and done with HTC after the lack of ICS on the doubleshot.
Oh and 3. My DS died;(
Nonetheless if we decide to move to that other site I'll have to get an android app for it lol.
I'm growing disgruntled with XDA lately but its kinda like a drug for me... and strapped... this device stock is just about equivalent to my ds when it died with regards to ease of use and overall response. I DO miss a trackpad and the home button lags just a bit... but that could be me having an aftermarket launcher with touchwiz frozen but not uninstalled.

But since I couldn't find it, I'm gonna just ask: will the Motorola Edge S get it own dedicated forum? I just ordered one, and it's amazing on paper. I hope I'll love it.

it's a fairly new phone usually it take 2~5 months after a phone being release or depending on the phone popularity to have its own dedicated xda page
