Greetings to all devs and mods,
I am writing here toady to propose the additional of a subforum for Milestone XT720 under the Motorola Milestone forum.
Currently, all XT720 developments from users are posted under the Milestone subforum.
Initially, it was ok because there were only few threads on the XT720 anyway.
But as XT720 development matures, I believe that the Milestone forum will become very messy with a mix of Milestone and Milestone XT720 topics.
Therefore, I suggest adding a separate subforum for Milestone XT720.
The directory will be as follows:
Home > Motorola Droid and Milestone > Motorola Milestone XT720 Android Development
Thank you for your attention.

Having the XT720 share a forum with the Milestone/Droid forum is kind of annoying.

Also it is somehow misleading if you have just bought the device and try to install milestone recovery or custom roms.
Motorola upgrade website is also same, they just say milestone in upgrade calender. (no mention of xt720)
+1. we hope to have our space. Pls?
I JUST bought this phone, so I would also like to see this happen. It is rather confusing that this phone shares a name with another model which is COMPLETELY different.
Well I'm an N1 user; but I have a buddy who just got the XT720 and I'm voting +1 on his behalf.

+1 I have it too.
+10 (i have 9 friends using this phone)
+1 we really need this
Yes Please!

I want to meet custom rom of xt720!!!
Sent from my XT720 using XDA App
XT720 needs its own forum.
I flashed endless times something that did not work, before realizing that it was belonging to the other phone.
Time is precious, not everyone can be on forums for a long time.
Add this XT720 too, thank you.

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
http://www.motoandroid.info
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?
motorola is a big player for android world now. I am a little surprised that I can not find any Motorola android device forum(like Motorola milestone) here. why?
XDA was and is a community of developers for HTC devices. They have done much in the way of Android and Windows Mobile development, but it has alway centered around the HTC hardware.
seems to make sense.
but I found special device forum for Sony-Ericsson, Acer, Samsung and LG here.
I suggest Motorola should also deserve one.
Would be nice to have a device forum for the Milestone and Droid
Second that... err, Third
i agree.
although this forum has been mainly for HTC devices, it is now pretty much a staple for all android devices. with that said, i think we should have a forum dedicated to the motorola droid/milestone.
I agree too, I would love too see a Milestone section...it would be soooo beneficial to the device!

What about the Cliq?
Also +1
The Motorola Droid can't be missed on this forum.
+4 would be great to see an Motorola Sub forum
Of course there should, one third of Android phones are Motorola Droid/Milestone after all.
+1 for milestone forum.

While I think adding a Motorola Droid forum would be beneficial, all the phone/forums listed above are actually built by HTC for other companies. (which is why they have a forum here at xda)
But would still be nice for a xda forum, all the devs here would make it well worth while

I agree. I was quite surprised when I couldn't find a Motorola Droid section. Although it's not an HTC device, it still deserves it's own section and it would have a strong community backing it up.

Really? I wasn't aware that Acer, LG, Samsung etc. Android devices were built by HTC!
Are you sure of that?
BTW, +1 for a Droid/Milestone sub forum.
+1 here.
Would definitely love to see a Droid forum.
I still cannot find a support forum for my phone Motorola Milestone XT720 (aka Motoroi). Can XDA make a forum?
This forum is for phones made by HTC. Go check out Modmymoto.com
are you saying that all the phone currently listed here are made by HTC?? including Motorola Droid/Milestone, Droid X and Microsoft KIN? I hope not.
I know that XDA used to be HTC support forum. I've owned a HTC Touch 3G once and I can find a lot of support from XDA. But currently, XDA is expending it's mobile Database since they added SonyEricsson Experia X1.
C'mon buddy, open your eye and have a look around in the forum. Then come back here to say it's HTC only or not.
yeah itd be nice to see a forum expansion for certain phones
Admins, we're having more and more users using Milestone XT720. Are we gonna have a forum soon?

Do some research first please. XDA has some non-htc phones over here but almost all the phones here are manufactured by HTC (including sony experia. HTC is the oem)

"Almost" does not means "all". I knew from the start that SE Xperia hardware is made by HTC. But if there is Droid/ Droid X and Milestone, then Milestone XT also deserve a place in this forum. That's my point.

On the General Discussion forum, I requested there to be a "Motorola Milestone XT720 Android Development" section added to xda developers.

it is a great idea to have our own sub section. much easier to find threads & share information.
+1 support from me.
I support too, I found that XT720 hardware configue is good but the android version (2.1) is restricting its performance............

Sent from my XT720 using XDA App
Then, you should call Moto HQ and ask why they locked the bootloader to prevent the users from flashing custom ROMs.

+1 from me.
More supported in needed for xt720
Especially no sign of froyo yet - still waiting.
Yes! We NEED one given the Motorola aren't going to update the XT720 to 2.2. Someone NEEDS to fix that!!!!!! Ah!!

with the right ROM this phone can be something else but now its a piece of crap...

Motorola should support us who patronized their product that is very much wanting...

+1 there and another here. We need this. Currently, there's another forum in Low Yat which has quite a following but it's more of a localised one for Malaysians mostly.
+1
XT720 needs a little more attention.
+1
A subsection might generate some attention but as XT720 is orphaned by Moto I doubt if the user base will increase anymore.
This is a dire need...it's not fair to either regular Milestone owners or XT720 owners that everything is jumbled together.
It would take 30 mins of work to create the subforum and move relevant posts, I'd love to see it happen!
count me in!!
+1
i really need the subsection,
and the subsection is really important
to motivate the owners of xt720 and the developers
To moderators,
I believe Droid 2 Global differs enough from Droid 2 to deserve its own section. Would you consider splitting them so people don't get confused?

Please PM the user admin, svetius
If anything just a different development section would be needed as despite it being a few mm thinner it still uses the same accessories and everything else. Same applies to the Milestone II.
Seconds? Thirds?
If this thread gets big with lots of people agreeing, please PM me and I will add a new forum.
I think this is the good decide. Because my Droid 2 Global has brick because install droid 2 rom . And maybe other guys will do the same things like me because the misunderstand droid 2 and droid 2 global is different
I agree a different dev section makes sense. Esp since eventually there will be specific FROM for both versions and confusion could lead to lotsa bricks...

Agreed.
Yup totally agree. Similar architecture but TOTALLY different hardware with a GSM + CDMA + UMTS radio in there. ;-)
I agree that there needs to be a different section too.
I agree... since ROMs and SBFs between the phones aren't compatable, I'd say a new section is needed.
I also think that there must be a new section for the Droid 2 Global. Please!
Agreed.

I also agree! getting mine tuesday and after reading around, im scared to do anything to it because im not sure what will work for it and what wont in the droid 2 section. Would def feel more confident about rooting and rom-ing it if i knew things were being done specifically for the global.
even though i have a d2, i will +1 this for the d2g people.
confused the d2g FROM for the d2 one and i thought i bricked my phone =p
+1! Def a seperate Dev section... and possibly a general section. I'm scared to do anything to my girls D2G.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using telepathy and unicorn dust!
Add another vote for a separate d2g section
A seperate section would be great to reduce confusion.
I agree, too
Agree, please seperate D2G from the D2 section!
Agreed. Hurry up already..
