Hi guys! I'm back to my lovely second home, xdadev.
Just a quick suggestion this time, - IMO it would be a good idea to split the i9500 and i9505 subforums, just because later on it will get all very cluttered, since the two models will have different rom's and kernel's, In that respect they don't really belong in the same place on xda.
what do you think?
[highlight]HURRAY! they did it! thank you mod's ![/highlight]
I totally agree!
At leadt 2 separate threads in S4 forum

Why should this thread be in development and not general ?

Not saying that mate. This thread should have be posted in General, because this problem is everywhere, not only in development area. Everybody is talking about "S4" but most of people doesn't specify which one. It's a chaos.

You're right this thread should be in general section. OP, you're definitely right, the octa and quad should be split into two subsections under Galaxy S4
Wrong section mate..
And about the suggestion. Definitely yes. Both the devices are totally difference and does not relate to each other in hardware manner.
Damn you eagle eyed forum readers! quick, summon the admins! We need to relocate
I'm pleased to see such a positive and logical response to my suggestion, we may be on to something here.

Agree completely. Coming from s3 it's already doing my head in working out which ones I need as I don't want to brick the phone!
Great idea. I don't think a polls needed lol.

Yeah! I remember bricking my original galaxy s because I failed to differentiate ONE SMALL STUPID NUMBER that would cost people a new motherboard at this time, because no JTAG interface or pinout is available for the s4 yet.
Development Section has been DIVIDED!!!!

Can the forum be splited in two sections for each device?
Verry soon it will be confusing for each device will be a topic.
I was thinking that only few (up to now) can be applicable to both devices.
And, at the end, we will finish in the same way as GT-I9100 vs GT-I9100G

the developers are pretty good at listing which device is his/her ROM is compatible with so I personally don't think this is neccessary and it would just create more work for moderators.
I support the idea but i uunderstand if they don't. I hope we soon have a reason for it if u know what i mean

One, the original post doesn't belong in Development. Unless you created it, it doesn't belong in this section.
Two, there are too many cases of development efforts applicable to both devices. Splitting the forums is a horrible idea for this reason.
Moved To Q&A
Please dont post questions/requests in the dev section!
Hi there,
Is anyROM team planning to release something significant in the next week, or can I rest my twitchy flash finger?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Well, this thread should be interesting......
FYI, asking for ETAs is kinda the xda equivalent of crapping the bed.
As for if there will be releases this week: maybe. Sometimes the devs like to give us a little Christmas present. But don't forget that they are people too and this is one of the busiest weeks of the year for many people.
Wow, I didn't mean to actually ask for anything - certainly not ETAs. More kind of a gag.

I think the idea of the galaxy camera is that people love the convenience cellphones provide for in allowing your photos to be shared to social media platforms. The problem is even the best phone cameras are still phone cameras. The galaxy camera retains the social networking convenience and introduces a nice camera (optical zoom) onto the equation. Curious how Google+ just recently allowed for full quality photo uploads eh?

This is the problem with xda. Not you. Personally i think you did nothing wrong. You were simply asking if anyone knew if a significant release for a ROM was being planned for this week. You weren't asking for someone to make a ROM, you weren't asking for an eta. Instead everyone decides to be incredibly disrespectful toward you. Maybe op didn't want to go through every single ROM thread over the past 5 or so pages looking for posts by the dev.

I know that this happens....but I don't think that this is the case here as no one was outright disrespectful to OP nor is a future ETA or release something you can generally look up in past threads.
Oh well, relax and drink some nog. We should try and get a forum game running over the holiday. Mafia anyone? =)
Ok, here's all I meant: I love xda and the developers. I flash like crazy and keep finding something better as one Rom leap frogs the other. So I was tongue in cheek asking for a break from flashing, to save me from myself this week, not for what to flash next.
Hold phone with my left hand, even though that's considered rude in some cultures.

You'll have to stop the flash half way through or you'll get a bricked s4. If you stop the flash a quarter way thru your s3 will be fine.

I have since received a couple PM's by some very sincere users who want this thread to go on. So---- I have reopened and have also subscribed to continue to monitor this thread.
My opinion below still stands, there are already a couple threads that, if you used search, most users would find what they need. But, as this thread is covering all the other stuff, I have reopened it.
Trolls and flamers have no place in this thread and will be infracted, no more warnings.
