I'm going to take a shotgun ... shoot it in the dark and maybe hit that target accurately, and say that maaaaybe its because it is an Android Development forum.
[Misc] How To Change EMEI? .. IMEI*
EDIT:
Covering my rear end right now. Just in case someone comes at me.
User: but zeekiz this is a development thread!
Zeekiz: But the forums title is "Desire S Android Development, Android development for the HTC Desire S", this is not an Android modification, but more-over a hardware (not to the physical hardware, theoretical hardware modification) modification.
It was removed because I reported it. And I will report this thread to.
Changing imei numbers is illegal in the majority of regions. And I don't believe that this information should be freely available.

Changing IMEI numbers is illegal in many countries, so that is why it was removed.
Do not post it again.

Hello:
I now have a zest - courtest of my wife on my Birthday. I know it is made by ASUS, does anyone know the model? Data on it seems a bit sparse....
Is there likey to be a dedicated area for this PDA on the fornt page of XDA-dev's (like the ones for the wallaby, blue angel etc)? If not, is there any area in particular on the site, where post about this model can be found?
Thanks
I will like to know it also.

Out of interest: I know historically it has been HTC units that get threads, however, the site is called 'XDA-developers' (not 'HTC-developers') and the zest, even though made by ASUS, is being sold badged as an XDA.....
xda atom is currently the only non htc made device that have it's own forum
why it got it and other o2 devices called xda don't i can't tell you
i don't make the rules
but this forum get money from donations to get server power and space
and the more spec forums and hits from owners it gets the more of a problem
because donations is not really that big an income ask the common beggar
as it is the forum is already often struggling to keep up with the nr of users at rush hour as it is
mind you i say this as my take on it not anything official as i'm just a mod not really
mixed up in such things
flar say the atom got a forum got a because they made it before they realised they were non htc.
as for the zest if you can pm me with the full name (not ythe xda name then ill create a space for it on my forum in my sig

Historicly all XDAs where from HTC (their own line was called qtek back in the days).
This board was created back in '03 due to dismay from the lack of service HTC gave, there where lots of bugs in the ROMs (some things never change ) and some smart people found out how to get rid of some bugs, and even how to flash the phones.
(no kitchen tools, no packages, just perl scripts and a lot of time..)
XDA-developers grew (in devices and in members), and the XDA brand-name also got popular (due to T-mobile), nowadays a multitude of devices are called XDA, even non HTC produced devices, but that doesn't change the fact that we always have been an HTC only forum.
The one exception: the xda atom was sort of an mistake (initial misinformation), but it was never corrected.
However, look @ HTC which is releasing a massive ammount of devices. It's allmost impossible to also keep up with other devices (just take a look at the quantity of devices allready on this board).
Also check the current active users, and then imagine what that would be if we allow other brands to have their own forum.
The bandwidth would be enormous, and since nobody wants to pay or to donate to this board it would simply die: death by success..

Hi,
I've just got a XDA Zest too. Shame there isn't a section here...
Does anybody know if there is a site for the XDA zest ?
If there are any rom updates or cooked roms about?
Thanks
Gibbo
I humbly suggest that all Devs who are Cooking ROMS and/or making software that is NOT device specific or are for multiple devices move their discussions/threads to the following forums:
XDA Android Software Development
Then we can allow much of the clutter on the Dream forum for just Dream specific software/ROMS, etc.
This forum, since it was the first on this site, is being used by a majority of devs (and, others) to develop/discuss many issues/items NOT specific to the HTC Dream.
I would believe that anyone who created a thread and wished it to be moved could have it done so by making a request to a moderator.
Let me know what you think.
ALSO, there is a general xda forum now for Android Themes:
XDA Android Themes
And, one for Applications and Games:
XDA Applications and Games
should clean things up considerably -- just have more sections to watch
Very, very good. I would hope a lot of threads get moved over there from the Magic/Hero/Dream forums to help seed the place a bit more. A vast majority of the Apps in the Dream Applications section, for example, could be moved over there...
yay, another forum to keep track of! (-_-)....
Wow...someone actually listened to our suggestions, and took action? I'm amazed!

Depends on your purpose for being here. I really would prefer just to check this one for new ROMS, check the Dream Theme forum for new themes...
Then go to the general ones for everything else.
Just makes it easier to search for information! I hate having to troll through ALL the posts here to look for the general Android software development threads!!!
Can we have a dedicated development section for the Cliq, even though its a non HTC device? I mean I know XDA was started specifically for HTC phones. But isn't it time XDA expands and matures?
XDA-Developers and non HTC devices
thefoss has an *excellent* point which has been going around my head in the past couple of days. With the imminent arrival (and my imminent purchase ) of at least two quite interesting Android devices, made by companies other than HTC.

XDA was founded as, and has been a site dedicated to HTC manufactured devices (my first one was my Typhoon which to this day I still sometimes use). Such devices always sported Windows Mobile (all different incarnations) so it used to be a synonym with Windows Mobile/CE/whatever. The exception being the Sony Xperia X1, I assume because of its relative relevance on the marketas well as the fact that sports Windows Mobile.
Then came Android on the HTC Dream. At this point, XDA (at least on my opinion) became the Driving Force behind the "Expert" Android OS mod as well as to the informal user support movement.
We all know that a barrage of new Android devices is coming down the pipe, not just one or two...
What do you guys think? Mods? Owners of the forum? Poll? This is a major deal (to me) and I am torn on the issue...

The actual German page has a video embedded, which the translated one won't show - but it shows a handset going S-ON to S-OFF.
I'd post this in Dev, but I can't (too few posts)

i believe that was the video that was perviously leaked, that started the "we want s-off now" explosion..
Ah, I've been on holiday and didn't see it elsewhere! My bad :\
Did you search before posting?Mod has already said no more thread until s-off genuinely released!

DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES POST SOMETHING LIKE THIS IN DEVELOPMENT! Unless you actually have something to do with development (i.e a ROM or some sort of tweak or hack) otherwise its forum specific like Themes or apps (in Themes & Apps) General stuff (like S-OFF news) and questions in......Funnily enough Questions and answers!
Bonesy are you high or just stupid this is not the development section... You wanted to flame this guy so bad you couldn't even see what link you clicked on Lmao.... People on this forum is so stuck up and judgemental
A.) Yes i am high, i must have had 2 pages open both titled Alpharev S-OFF Video as i swear i saw the OP write that they were going to put it in the Dev section?? I Don't honestly know! The rabbit i saw in the garden with a mirror and a rolled up fiver may have had something to do with it

no. don't post it in general thread as even in general thread, it will be locked as sensation users don't have free will of saying anything
Guys what if a ROM is created which is
- based on proxuer's ROM from forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1261989 (but of course a few but great modification required like BT, HTC hub, compatibility for games etc.)
- filled with animations from the ROM from forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275747
- as fast as ROM from forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1271383
- and contains some great apps like File Explorer n customization options from MIUI
Think about it dear developers...

don't mean to bring down your thread but shouldn't this be in general?
Yup this is a development thread...
Plz don't post such threads here...
Even though I may agree with what you say as the posters above have already said this is a General thread topic/post/question. No offense, but it's for all of our benefit if we have a structured forum and if you were to read the sticky thread in this forum it explains this [DEV][12 SEP 11] DEV naming convention (and much more) Read before creating a thread
There is an exclamation mark in a triangle just to the right of the post # number this easily enables us to report incorrectly placed threads or any that break forum rules far easier than flaming the user (not that any one has yet) or attempting to PM the moderator to complain.
Before you all now click on it, I've done it.
This forum is one of the nicest in the sense of non-aggressive, minimal flamming and considerate users but at it grows in size and popularity it also becomes more and more messy and un-structured, it's in all of our best interests to ensure that we stick by the rules, as they're there for a reason.
Oh I'm sorry for that.. As this is developers forum, I thought It'd a knock knock their front door so easily... Anyway I'm sorry.. now what I have to do?? As I'm using a mobile, I won't be able to move it I guess... Should I delete it?? _

Don't think you can mate, usually a mod will do that, but it seems our mod never checks this forum !
+ certainly agree with Ben. This is one of the nicest forums around...
Visit the sgs2 forum.. my God.. its like a mess there! People always posting in the wrong place, arguing etc.
There are more useless post than helpful posts!
It's really difficult to get around too! Here in this forum, i know my way round.
I never really post there aswell, because I get subscribed to stupid spam in each thread everytime.
I'm grateful we have a neat little forum here

Don't worry, unfortunately we're unable to move, delete, combine or close threads ourselves that what the moderators are for, although now it's been reported in theory one should move it for us!
Anyway, No worries.....
Any chance we can have a separation (or sub forum) to distinguish between Sense based ROMs and true AOSP ROMs? The true development of AOSP ROMs is what this community excels in, and I think there should be an easy way to find those ROMs without digging. Additionally, people who like Sense will never consider an AOSP ROM so giving them there own sub forum to play in might also make sense.
PLEASE TAKE THE POLL DIRECTLY ABOVE THIS POST!!

That would be awesome and very useful but I think it won't be possible... Cause if we can have it all can! So the forum will need a lot of editing in all phones' threads

My first post didnt have a poll. So be sure to vote if you like the idea!
it ain't gonna happen.
Same as someone asked to split the forum between ICS and GB....that certainly ain't happening so I can't see it being split just to separate Sense and AOSP roms...
Just read more

Too much duplication & extra resources...won't happen from stuff I've read in the XDA General discussion sections.
Proper named threads are good enough for me
Yes and no. Don't forget that there is a whole bunch of forums, and sub forming everything would get complicated.
Properly tagging thread titles should be more than enough.
Are there any aosp roms for the sensation which the users flash?That when cm9 and senseless roms are not counted in.
I think there are 2 issue:
- We don't have a specific rule for create a thread's title for a rom.
- developers put to many feeling words on their rom's title. That's make each rom's name is too long.
I like all the rom threads have their name somewhat like this : [ Android version] -[ MIUI/AOS or Sense version ]-[ rom name] - [rom version] - [ last updated's date ]
If possible that would be great, but if not I think the prefix of the ROM threads must be clear i.e. [SENSE] & [AOSP]

Well then we have to talk to devs and mods about it
there are about 4 distinct non sense based ROMs, many Sense based ones, and many de-Sensed ones. This almost suggests 3 sub-forums, except that (1) many devs hope to do ROMs of more than one type & this would force them to track multiple threads for their active work and (2) we as knowledgeable users need to be able to read enough to tell things apart.

One of two ways.
Either force developers to properly name the thread and keep the "Stable, FAST, Solid, etc.) comments to the forum itself and out of the title, or separate forums.
[ROM/Kernal/HELP] [Date] [OS, ICS or GB, etc.] [Revision Number]
Easy...but it must be followed. No need for "Stable, Fast, etc.".
That is for the users to decide, if you ask me.

Second that. Second that soooo much.
This ASCII stuff and useless non-infos are really, really annoying.
Someone playing pipes (╚══╬) in his threadtitle make me think of a 12year old kid, not a serious developer i trust with my phone stability or data
YES! I am always weeding thru the Sense Roms.

Errm actually it is the ROM makers choice in what they put as the thread title and frankly if a user told me to remove what I have as my thread title I would tell them to do one (probably in slightly harsher language )
I doubt many chefs would like the users to dictate what must / must not be included in the thread.
Just my 2 cents

Your opinion, being a Dev...you're certainly entitled to it.
However, since users are your target....and there's more of us, it would just be nicer/easier to sort through the BS..sorry...
