moved to app sub forum
......................
Not seeds, but interesting none the less:
"They also mention about future updates coming to Minecraft: Pocket Edition for the Xperia Play which will bring the mobile version much closer to the PC version within the next couple of months."

Hey can you please put this in the Xperia Play Apps etc sub forum or it is going to get buried under "How do I root my phone?" threads etc.

OK, there you have it.
Themes, Applications and Software!
You got the chance for a clean start, I suggest you keep it tidy and in order, otherwise it will become a complete mess like Diamond general!
MODERATORS will closely monitor activity in this sub forum!
Read the announcement and respect forum rules and thread naming templates!
It's all up to you!
I've removed about 6 stickies to clear up some room for the newer stuff.
I assume that if those sticky threads were strong enough, they would be kept on top by new posts.
cheers
I very much enjoy the XDA forums. I also frequent the Modaco blade forum.
My biggest annoyance is that Modaco Blade forum has become overrun with repetitive posts from newcomers.
If you scan the first page there are so many "How do I..." or "Help!..." posts and if you go to the second page you'll usually see the same question with an answer. This does not make me want to frequent the forum which is a shame because I am passionate about android and this phone.
I very much support newcomers but believe there should be structure to the support given.
I created a video guide and it just got lost in the depths of Modaco, then about a week later there were a few posts such as "How do I put video on my blade?" etc.
PLEASE create a forum just for support questions like "How do I change the brightness?!" This will make me stay at XDA Blade.
Thanks,
Andy
That's what general if for post tips and guides when enough ill compile a sticky same as other sub forums 'in the meantime will stick anything important'

Got it. Good to know there's active structure.
Hi guys,
This forum was originally set-up with Windows Mobile in mind. Last few months the forum gets flooded with a lot of questions about Android, which is still in an 'early' development phase. Some questions, about GPS, Wifi, SD-card not working, have been posted numerous times and this makes the forum messy.
Some while ago I have asked admins to have a look at a dedicated Android forum, but I never got a final answer about that. It seems that Android is getting more and more popular, and therefore I think its wise to have a dedicated place for Android. So I think we really need a dedicated Android forum with clear distinction between development and user threads.
I am not sure if I am the only one that thinks this way, if not lets mobilize ourselves and get some attention from the admins to get us a nice Android forum!
Give a reply with your opinion .
I hope you mean just another section inside this forum? However, I do agree 100%, it would be nice to have an android section for us to use and flood questions in there instead.
However, the current setup is designed to allow any OS questions. Not just Windows, so I can see both sides. One, if they leave it - it leaves it open to everyone. But if they don't add sections, it could get a little messy.
I think we have to adopt the same forum format of the HD2 in the near future, I agree 100% with you, and it would be very nice to have this right now...
It's only a thing to talk with the right people here in XDA to Achieve this.
I have also informend the mods some days ago. They are aware of it and think about a solution, one have stated.
I've submitted a request to the Admins for you guys
lets see if they create a new sub section or not

Allgamer, I would really like to thank you for your help on requesting the Android forum! It worked out very quick, we now have our dedicated Android forum !!!

I was wondering what happened in the themes and apps subforum for the hd2, I decided to come out of the hd2 android dev forum and swing by the themes and see if there was anything new for my hd2 and shortly after being there was wondering if I was in the right forum or if they just fired the moderator because almost all of the threads I opened had nothing but irrelevant and non theme/apps discussions, I know is not from a missing moderator, they have a lot in there plate with 100s of post and threads to watch over, there's a lot of threads that should be here instead of there. Apparently a lot of the new people can't navigate to the right forum before creating a new thread that clearly shouldn't be in a forum specifically for themes and apps.
I'm sorry and I don't mean to rant but please, this goes to the newer guys that feel unsure where they need to create the thread, when they are going to post something, if you write "sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong forum" 9 out of 10 times you are in the wrong forum, so please take the time to search and ask, or send a moderator a pm if you're unsure of where you need to be so we can all help in maintaining a cleaner, more organized forum/subforums and in the same process helping each other to find what we're looking for easier.
Thanks.....RoloRacer
i don't think you are alone in this regard; i quite agree.
so many of the app threads are "where can i find this app" or "please post" or "can someone port" it gets somewhat annoying. especially as someone who has a thread that is actually a theme (and if i do say, one of the few remaining built on the hd2 that is actually being updated.)
but overall i feel like the ingenuity of hd2 as a device separate from android is near an end. for example, there is nothing special about my theme being built on an hd2; rather it is built for hdmi phones. same i assume goes for most things.
also, the fantastic themers for WM HD2 have not migrated to android. some did, but i haven't seen releases. would be interesting if more would come over.
anyways...i too find most of those threads annoying and misplaced. but in the end, if they weren't there, i am not sure really what would take their place. there really just isn't much being made on hd2s and released here in addition to the main android threads.
cheers.
As the title says, do you agree about getting rid of this forum ?
As it is became so old and Sony let it down.
Please vote
Despite me moving on to a nexus 5 2 years ago and soon to another undecided phone. I have never left this forum. I would love to say that it should stay as is but as I have been on this forum since the xperia plays release and seeing how this thread was active and vibrant, I have seen it fall into a forum is low activity. It's a shame but if and when it is moved to low activity forums section, I will still probably be hanging around. Guess. I'm stubborn that way!
I agree with ozzman.... I'd hate to see this forum moved to legacy devices section. I still have it set as a favorite in my XDA app and check it regularly. However, I could understand logic behind moving it if need be due to the low activity in the forum.
Well, still using Xperia Play and closing this forum would be hurtfull.
Sony dropped Xperia Play, and closing this forum would be the same.
