Vibrant/Epic 4G/Captivate/Fascinate Forums Added!

We heard from a lot of users and moderators on the issue of whether to put all Galaxy S forums under one roof or to offer separate forums for them all.
For the sake of keeping confusion to a minimum plus ensuring that XDA stays as organized as possible, we've officially decided to launch forums for all four variants of the Galaxy S. We expect these four devices (plus the unlocked Galaxy S) to be very popular devices once they're on sale.
Here are the links!
Sprint Epic 4G
AT&T Captivate
T-Mobile Vibrant
Verizon Fascinate
This forum will be for the unlocked European version of the Galaxy S that has been on sale since June.
Thanks to everyone!
Edit by Chainfire:
Please note various Q&A from the i9000 (unlocked European version) FAQ may still be relevant to your device:

Is there any way for them to be all under the same parent forum on the tree so that we don't get heavy fragmentation in discussions? It would make it easier for people to find threads that were for other Galaxy S derived devices that also affected them, but were posted in the other forums.

This. It will be a pain to trawl through 5 different threads for Themes and Apps for example, which will be the same for all devices.

What was the point in the poll if popular vote didn't matter?
Oh well, I guess I'll just have to look through them all
GG to my laziness

Obi-Wan: I have to admit that without the SGS varieties, it would have not been a victory.
Yoda: Victory? Victory you say? Master Obi-Wan, not victory. The shroud of the dark side has fallen. Begun the SGS War has.

No point in separating everything....

I liked the idea of different development forums And keeping everything else unified. I don't remember any of htc wm phones being separated by carrier. Why separate all of the galaxies?

The Themes and Apps sections will indeed have some redundancy, and we may remove those forums except from the main Galaxy S I9000. Then the trouble becomes that people will post about themes and apps with the OTHER forums like General, etc. So, we'll have to play it by ear and see how things go!

Keep the forums separate, but how about having a universal Themes and Apps topics all linked to the main one here?

can we have all the varieties themes and apps page link to the galaxy s one? Accessories and ROM dev. is nice to have separated but general and apps do not. If a thread poster feels it is phone specific he can just state the variant in the title no?

So the admins decided to go against the popular vote? Marvelous.
crabby

sorry.. but bad move to create separate forums... we now have to check 5 forums to find what we want.
this reminds me of the G1/Magic32B/Magic32A forums where nearly all development and modding was posted in the G1 forum (dev device), leaving the Magic forums abandoned, or full of links to G1 forum posts for those with 32B radios.
I predict that the Vibrant & Euro unlocked S will be the most used devices, leaving the other forums as good as empty or posted with stuff like "I found this on the Vibrant/S forum".
what about the forum search? will we now need to search all forums? increases the load right?
anyway.. last time I checked the poll regarding this, most of the users voted for seperate SUB forums.. did this change so drastically in the last weeks?

Separate forums of the SAME device by US carriers??? WTF?
Disagree... completely.

Precisely.
I see no reason for 5 separate forums. I think a much better idea would have to have a single GalaxyS forum, and add subforums for specific variants as the need arises (if it ever does).
Having 5 forums just wastes everyone's time. It even makes searching useless .

What amazing is they ask for a vote then go against it WTF

I think it would have been best to make them all in 1 forum and then have a sub forums for GSM and CDMA...
or make a sub forum for each device and a main forum for all of them to have a General...
cause there are many issues people are talking about in the Vibrant and the I9000 which are EXACTLY the same...
not to mention we need some stickies with common issues and questions..

On a similar note. The Samsung Vibrant or Galaxy S similar to the european version has 4 haptic buttons whereas the latter has only 2 and the
Big plastic intergrated middle button. Is this something people would prefer and would it be beneficial in the long run of android where it would
have been if the phone was to run windows 7.
BTW.... I Am not pleased that the American market also shipped this with the Avatar Film pre-installed...LOL!

Waiting for CyanogenMod? Stand up and be counted

Head over to the CyanogenMod forums and vote for the Epic 4G so we know just how many people are anxiously awaiting CM6.1.
Someone started a similar thread in the Captivate forum here, and now the Captivate votes are seriously out of proportion, so I'm rectifying that by posting here and in the other Galaxy S forums so we can have accurate representation for all models. Follow this link to vote.
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/7835-what-galaxy-s-do-you-have/

Wow. I picked up this phone knowing there wasn't a very large development community. It looks like there's practically no community at all!

I don't think its that bad for around a month and a half
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

wow this isnt looking too good

Not looking good for CM6.1 but the other 4-5 ROMs that are out are not bad and the phone itself has only been out 1 1/2 months. Of course, though, it has a long way to go before it reaches Evo's level of dev. support.

if you actually read the thread, cirwl a mod there said that the order of releases is as follows
1) Vibrant & Epic 4g
2) Kernel Port for Captivate Suppport
3) Kernel Port for I9000 support
4) ???????
much of this thanks to noobnl

I keep standing up, hell Ive even been walking.
Of course there is people waiting for cyanogen mod, there are people waiting who dont even know they are waiting. The phone has been out less than 1 month and 1/2.

Vote cast! Anxiously awaiting

I'm pretty happy so far with the Modding community for the epic considering how long its been out.

ICS on Galaxy S2

Please someone really start porting ICS on galaxy s2. Too many fake port and fake people that say "i am start porting ics..".. but nothing.
I would develop a real porting with expert people that know very well android and develop android rom for galaxy s2.
I also need someone that know assembler or low level code, for the galaxy s2 driver in ICS.

Useless thread.. Can someone close this?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

please someone really start banning people for making yet more pointless bloody threads
you want ics on your phone? either be quiet and wait or port it yourself.

Take a wafer, put a dollop of ice cream on it then place phone onto the ice cream and finish off with another wafer, Voila!! ICS on your phone.
The reason there is no ICS threads is because its not ready yet, the time it took to write your thread a search just aslong would of given you the same result and you wouldn't have had sarcy comments like above
Ricey

Just to make sure you understand, Google haven't released source code for ICS and don't intend to until after devices running it are on sale. The SDK for creating apps for ICS is out, but that is little help for creating a fully functional ROM.

I think this is the closest port of ICS on Galaxy S II so far...

First of all this is a pointless thread, the best way to follow the progress of ICS for SGS2 is on http://codeworkx.de/wordpress/.
They are working on CyanogenMod 9 (ICS) and all that is left is to fix the mic during calls, expect it to be done during the next few weeks.

so why bump it after 4 weeks lol

You felt the need to bump a month old thread to let everyone know that the thread was pointless?

You are really are stupid excuse my language....Yes there is the wordpress site from codeworkx but there is already a thread up in general with all the info already from the site you have provided...if you actually took the time to read what you just linked here everything is on the sticky and more...so just wait for the bloody thing to be released and Stylez or Conan delete this pointless thread

Hmm what is this... ANY topics created about ICS gets closed because of Matriak...??
If anyone else wants to try and port ICS then let them try??
Since when where you the boss of SGS2 forums?
Yes i have followed the progress and yes i know your role in the porting project, but acting like you control everything about ICS and SGS2, then why do we have a community here?
The way i see it right now: There is 1 sticky topic regarding SOME developers progress, the rest of us are banned from trying to port it, or in this case, speaking of it, because these guys are doing A port too.
If we do make a topic, you demand it closed and refers to the sticky topic.
NOTE: I'm not talking about just this topic alone.
Just my thoughts.

I know ICS aint released yet, but still its getting really cold inhere

Please go work for google, and bring us Android Jelly Bean!!
Stop making threads about Ice Cream Sandwich, Yes we are all desperately waiting for the port, but we must not , and i repeat MUST NOT be a pain in the ass to the developers actually doing the PORT!

Developers come here...

http://developer.nvidia.com/tegra-resources Nvidia just released images of Ics 4.0 for Tegra 2 based phones, do you think this can help our community?

Well this looks exciting - here's hoping it's of some use!

Wrong section folk. We already know of it, relax!

Yeah, good for "Nvidea"

now if only "someone" gets a .39 or 3.x kernel to work for the atrix!

I just want to point out how easy a simple search can return results. All I did was enter "developer.nvidia" (from the link you posted) and I got back a fair amount of results that include:

All of which were posted before you started this thread. Which I feel happens to be in the wrong section but that's not my job to decide that, I really wanted to emphasize the redundancy of your thread.

[Q] CyanogenMod confirm CM to S4 I9500?

I see it on g+....
... "Finally, just a note that Exynos 3 and Exynos 5 devices are not impacted by the information above. The Nexus S allows for a solid Exynos 3 base, and the Nexus 10 for the Exynos 5 base. We have an i9500 in hand and will be working towards bringing the Exynos 5 Octo platform up to release quality as well. "
well, i think we got offical cm for I9500.

Thread cleaned, can you take all your *****ing, whining and general crap off XDA and onto facebook or somewhere where I don't have to deal with it.
AndreiLux we are all well aware of what you think of the moderators on here, I think through your shed loads of anti-moderation posts you've made it clear so there is no need to go on and on and on about it, its getting old and boring reading/dealing with it. Enough is enough.
Edit:
AndreiLux said:
I was asked a question about something and I answered it how it it, and even avoided adding any details as to not escalate it. This is the first time somebody even asks about it or I publicly even mention it over the last several weeks, so if I that's your definition of shed loads, then deal with it.

You know well enough I was referring to your history of anti-moderation posts stemming from late 2012.
And despite your claims of not wanting to escalate it, it seems to me that you did want to escalate it because as with several of your posts you were plain nasty or your branch of sarcasm (whatever you want to call it) when there was no need to be and having that sort of tone in your posts is always going to draw a response.
Anyways, as I said, enough. If you want to continue this discussion then PM me.
Everybody, back on topic please.
