Here we go again!
I´ll say it nicely so noobs do not complain of rudness from senior members:
This is an HTC devices forum only
so there won´t be a section for any other devices!
This is the point of view from the Admins wich I support.
Respectfully,

so much hate.
it would do no harm to have a small subforum at the bottom for non HTC devices.

Not at all
All has it´s reason to be:

After you read that perhaps you´ll understand...
And as I promise to -PiLoT-:
Go to winmodevelopers.freeforums.org for non HTC devices

well said orb! hey, I kinda like the name of this samsung device

Hey!
Welcome back my friend!
A-S Team missed you a lot!

Cheers,

Hi
until now I didn't know that this is a HTC-only forum, and because of the Xperia and the other two android phones (yes they are HTC...) I thought the galaxy would fit.
Thank you for telling me respectfully that I'm a noob, you uber pro senior member...

it makes him feel good to use big letters and red colors even though he has no real power.

Please dont judge all us old timers the same, i promise we're not all like that!
Whilst it is indeed a HTC specific forum for whatever reason, you will find that you will be able to get any device support as we all run the same apps and the same operating system. So, please do stay and ask O/S or general application specific questions I run an Acer M900 and an Omnia and i'm still here!
As for where you will get your roms etc, i'm afraid you will have to use google again.

can we please have the opinion of the admins too?
I think this terminal is very well build and very nice to look at. Developers in here in the end are working with the software part, developing the platform, which makes less important the hw part.
I too would like to see a i7500 subforum.. maybe open a poll to see the opinion of all developers?

If money is the problem, maybe interested people could sponsor non-HTC sections? I'd certainly donate. It would be great to hear from an admin how much we're talking about (roughly).

As I said before I think the developers are working IN THIS CASE with a PLATFORM not with the hardware.. where the transition from one terminal to another I think would be quite easy
I would be interested to donate for the development of more phones as well.. moderator's view about this would be appreciated. thx

I would also be interested to Donate for the development of more phones. I recently have a Samsung Galaxy. Before I had 2 WinMo Devices and pherhaps the Next will be a Maemo or a WinMo again .... Thats why it would be a great Idea to Donate to get in Sub Forums like Samsung I7500, Asus etc.

You could try Android Forums

[Q] Should XDA add a Tablet Forum?

I've been noticing more and more of the posts in the Android General forum as well as the General forum are regarding a new crop of Tablet devices.
An older thread asked the same question, but then seemed to die.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=710515
I'd like to bring up the subject again. Would XDA be a better place for those who are purchasing tablet devices to use as a resources if there was a tablet specific section?

That sounds like a good idea. I need help choosing one and that would make it way easier.

Its already there...The Samsung Galaxy Tab found its place on XDA and i found my place there as a Moderator...Well, there is no need for a Tablet specific forums...They are already classified under the company they are released from...No more classifications...

I understand there is a Galaxy Tab device listed under the Samsung devices, and this is nice for those folks looking for information.
Where do the Nook dev's go? Or how about those who purchase the 7" Sylvania tablet that KMart and Toys R Us is selling?
I was interested in knowing if XDA could create a generic Android tablet forum for those of us who have these sub-$350 tablets and need a central place to share information other then having to hunt down a thread here and there across all the general forums.

A List of All available rooms for the Samsung Exhibit II (2) WIP

Well this tiny but powerful phone have gotten alot of attention from developers. And MANY Roms have been released. But the semi official thread has not been updated in a long time. So people of XDA, please be kind and post all of the Rom links. I will later edit this and add all of the links you kind fellows have posted here. And this will be up-to-date.

Sick of XDA's biasedness.

Well I post this in the Sony Xperia S' forum. But I think it should be addressed here as well. If you're a Samsung fan boy feel free to walk.
Ok folks here's my sentiment about XDA's biasedness towards Samsung. If you're a samsung fan boy feel free to walk.
So the US versions of the Samsung Plasticky s3 have not come out yet and yet there already are forums for them? Sprint Samsung galaxy s3
Verizon Samsung galaxy s3
ATT Samsung galaxy s3.
Tmobile Samsung galaxy s3.
But the Sony Xperia Ion is coming out in the same time and it's the only Sony phone in the US but it does not have a forum? I remember when the international s3 had not come out yet and it had its own forum. What bs is that? I'm not really a Sony fan but I'm so sick of how Android is morphing into a Samsung-only avenue. Why not just rename the forum from XDA developers to XDA Samsung's ass kissers to not mislead newbie Android users? I know I will get warnings and stuff but I dont give a crap anymore.
Update: Excuse for not having a Sony Xperia Ion forum:
As I said here a few days ago:

Mainly because the people involved in those kind of decisions will most likely not see it here.
Not every phone can have a home in XDA.
There are many factors affecting the decision, one of them being interesting and continuous development, this is xda-developers after all.
P, U and Sola are relatively new devices, borderline low-end, middle-end at best, so it could go either way.
You need to be patient and in the meantime, try to make the accomodation of more than one phones under the same section bearable.
It is your responsibility to post in the correct sub-section, provide clear and to-the-point thread titles ("HEEEEEEEELP " "OMG wtf happened to my phone" "???" etc, are NOT acceptable) with tags ([P], , [Sola], ) so that the forums are as clean and helpful as possible.
Thanks!
Ion, even though definitely a high-end phone, is just not that popular at the moment. I do not think XDA favors Samsung, users do, so they render their products popular.
Please make your requests here, keeping in mind that they may or may not be met after all.
Thank you!
Now look at the image attached. I call BS on this.

Yawn.

i dont really agree with your sentiment,
Sammsung has flooded the market with their phones they hit every carrier and every pricepoint so there is gonna be alot more users. the GSIII has been a very highly antisipated phone in fact it may even kick the iphone off its pedestal as the single most popular phone.
i find XDA's coverage of Sony to be exceptional the news feed mentions a Sony related item at least 3 times a week. that is impressive because market share wise sony is almost non existant. The forum is very active for most of the Sony models. way more than i have seen on any other site.
What us sony useres have going for us is the fact that Sony has been very accomodating to the Dev comunity and all we need to do is enjoy it and continue to encourage it.

1. I do not see an ATT, VZW or a Sprint dedicated Galaxy S III forum. Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong place? Using xda app and don't see it under forum alphabetical names anywhere.
2. The s3 is the most anticipated Android phone of all time, it has something like 20 million units sold/pre ordered already.
3. WWWWHHHHHAAAAAAAA (baby's cry)

So do you think that just because a manufacturer releases a phone that XDA should open up a new forum for it? Got news for you, XDA is FINITE. Hard decisions have to be made about where to allocate resources. That is why there is a specific thread for this purpose. It is sticky noted to the top of the general XDA-developers.com subforum.
New Device Forum Requests
Perhaps if you can get enough people to request a new forum for your device then the admins will see enough of an audience to warrant allocating those resources.
