I'm sorry if I'm telling people what to do but this forum is ATM to messy.
The moderator should clean it up by pinning the guides to the top and making a "Rom bible" thread where we could locate all the different ROM's.
FAQ thread should be made as well.
I was hopping that we could help the admin with this and not just complain about the situation. So here I start (Please fell free to correct and add things):

I will fix that ASAP
It is now somewhat in alphabetical order...
ha ha i think that was funny. Functionally this is very useful. What aplhabet priority will you give to arrange it. Just continue with what you have started I hope the Mods take note of this.
Yeah i agree with the op, i hope mods will take care of it!
All you had to do was ask
I'll get this done today or tomorrow. Appreciate the help in getting the links together. I don't have a Defy, so I'm not familiar with all the procedures etc...
I'll definitely do an "FAQ" type thread for all the main guides.
I'm not 100% sure about a ROM list as that is something that will always be changing and require update all the time. I think it may be easier just to let users find their own ROMs?
Opinions?
That would be cool!
Maybe you could include a link to the wiki page. It would than be easier to keep the ROM list up-to-date.
PS: You can find the Defy wiki-page at http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Motorola_Defy
I added the links to the wiki page.
OK, seems good, so the ROM part is done aswell.

It would be workable but it would need two things - ideally a Mod dedicated to the Defy section or at least actively monitoring it and secondly when someone starts a new thread about a ROM, to PM said Mod so that they weren't having to constantly trawl through the section to check for them.
I also think it would be useful is all thread titles were formatted similarly - if it's a ROM, start with [ROM]; if it's a guide, start with [guide] etc etc.
That and trying to keep question threads out of here, have them all moved to the general section.
In fact, now that I think about it, isn't it possible to have it so that any new threads hidden until authorised by a Moderator? That way any threads purely asking questions could be weeded out immediately and, indirectly, the/a Mod would end up aware of any new threads that needed to be added to a FAQ/sticky thread and also fix any badly-formatted title.
I know it would potentially add a slight delay to new threads appearing if there were an Mod actively monitoring the Defy section it shouldn't be too bad.
Sorry for just suggesting ways to increase your workload but I'm just thinking out loud...

I'm happy to keep a list of ROMs up to date if I get help in being informed of any new ones etc....I visit all my allocated forums MANY times per day (probably more than I should, even at work ), so that's not a problem. I'm always just a PM away, any time of day or night, unless I'm asleep
Because I visit all my forums so often, there's rarely a time when there are any question threads in the dev section...I like to move them as soon as I see them, so thats another issue I am managing no problem.
I was considering implemeting the same method as you suggested, using the [ROM], [Guide] etc tags in each thread title as they work well in other forums. I'll create a sticky with more information tonight after work.
The Defy forum has become a lot more populated over the last month or so, which is why things are getting a little more cluttered, so hopefully we can all work together and keep it clean and structured
Please feel free to suggest anything else you think will improve the forums

Sorry, didn't mean to suggest otherwise.
I just wasn't consciously aware of you having been around here and also since you're managing 9 sections eek, I thought maybe it would be unfair to ask so much.
I mean, I've done the moderating thing (elsewhere) but I doubt I could've dealt with that sort of load.
About moving questions away from the Dev section, I had also wondered if it might be worth having a sub-section for questions rather than throwing them into the General section, that way it's easier for people to see if a similar question had already been asked.
But I guess most of the questions will be about particular ROMs/Guides etc and will therefore be asked in that thread, so maybe that'd be unnecessary...
Nah nah, it's ok, I know you didn't imply anything
Yea, it's a difficult one with question threads...most of them are related to ROMs or a particular ROM...and if not they are usually general enough to be put into the General forum, which is intended for general chit-chat on a device, or questions.
Some mods like to have a Q&A dedicated sticky thread in the dev section, but im not a big fan of these.
I think the FAQ/Guide sticky should help somewhat in reducing the number of question posted in the dev section.
I was thinking, some sort of Glossary/FAQ thread/post would also be quite useful.
Terms like 'ClockworkMod' and so on get thrown around and whilst there is a thread on how to install it, there isn't really anything that explains clearly to people starting out what it is.

That's maybe a bit much...we can't go spoon feeding everyone. Clockworkmod is covered over many devices in xda forums. Search is a very handy tool
But if somone wants to write something up, please fell free
Hi,
Before posting this thread I check if someone else had the same question.
I have a X10 mini pro:
U20 i
2.1-update 1
2.1.1.A.0.6
As many of us, I'm very disappointed about not having the possibility to update the firmware above 2.1
What I'm looking for is mainly having the possibility to:
-Store app to the SD card
-Making folders for the pictures of the camera
I had a look to the different opportunity to boot the phone and to install a custom rom. But I didn't found a clear way to do it.
I'm looking for a rom with no bugs
I'm looking for a tutorial with links to follow.
If there is a way to do it without installing a new rom it ill be nice as well
If you can help
cheers
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Thanks for you reply.
adding this new roms seems quite complicated to me.
I don't know how to do it, is there a link explaining how to do it?
If I'm changing the rom, I would like something stable, I would like to continue to use the camera, radio etc... as I saw some custom roms do ot allowed it anymore.
The main features I'm looking for is adding the app to the SD card and making folders for the camera.
thanks for your help
I want to flash a new rom to my xperia mini and i dont know which is the best to choose. Can someone suggest me one rom?
No. This thread will end up locked as discussion of "Which is best..." is frowned upon. Do lots of reading, then download a few ROMs and test them out.
And post your questions in the forum for your device, not in the general Q&A forum.
Sent from the darkest corners of my mind.
I just want to tell me which is a good rom to flash to my xperia mini and i want it to be like ics and i will be able to overclock... Only that!

Hello,
Pls can can someone suggest the best rom for me.
I downloaded a rom (pa_saga-2.51-26OCT2012-103713 True HybridMode) I love the interface of this rom but i'm having some issues with it. 1. I can find apps like FM Radio, voice recorder,Youtube, and some other apps i'm familiar with on the ICS even some other custom roms like Desire XS. 2. My wifi does not work, its turns on but wont detect a network(My pc network using connectify) 3. The front camera force close the camera (Whenever i reopen the camera, it says 'Unfortunatelly gallery has stopped' Also seems the network is not stable as i get a blank network for \a long time.
....
I love this rom cos it looks like the nexus'
....
Anyone knows the best rom for me with dos stuffs?
Thanks

Wrong section, I'm afraid. This is for posting roms, kernels etc. Your thread is a question, so it belongs in the q&a section.
