Took my quite a while to find threads for Fathom as they were buried here in the Expo.
Why are they in Expo? If Expo is another name for Fathom, can we add Fathom to the Forum name so people can find it? If not, can Fathom have its own forum rather than share with Expo?
Thanks in Advance,
ronio
You might try looking here instead: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/lg-fathom/
Yes ronio i agree to you i search quite lot then i can find posts for lg fathom there should be dedicated forum for lg fathom
Because the Fathom does not have that many users.

Okay, before everyone starts flaming...I know that there are probably hundreds of thread in the Dream General section suggesting a support section or a "Support thread" but they have been incredibly unsuccessful and members are constantly reporting and starting new threads on their problems in Dream Android Development and in General. Isn't the whole point of GENERAL suppose to be GENERAL? And not a support area?
This is why I'm proposing that we create an entire new area for people to get help and for people to post their problems and give solutions. If you take a look at the amount of locked threads in development and the amount of threads in Dream General pertaining to the numerous amount of problems that people are having, you will understand. I understand that there is in fact a brick thread inside Dream Development, but people don't care. They just post it in random places and mods have to constantly remind people to post in the right place and to SEARCH! With this proposal, I believe that if a support section is created, people will be more likely to search in THERE because it's a special place set aside for just that, SUPPORT.
Mods please take this into consideration and don't lock this thread. How many of you think that we should have a support section and not clutter Dream General and Dream Development with hundreds of two post threads talking about bricks and eventually them getting locked or moved to the trash within seconds.
Thanks for reading this. Comment in the posts below
Thanks to Milestone for a list of good reasons why we should have a support section! thanks milestone!

1) it would aid in the moderation task - most people can read the word "support" and realize to post in there. if they can't then don't get a g1!
2) it would allow for a few people who are interested in helping out other newbie users to correct their problems without everyone having to read them if they don't want to.
3) there can be a place to move wrongly posted requests to.
4) everyone knows where to post them to in the first place!

Everyone here with a few exceptions i'm sure are using a rooted phone. If you noticed, each thread that contains a ROM will also provide support for that ROM. Most of the problems are specific to each rom. So there would need to be a support thread for each ROM released in a seperate forum section, which already exists in the developer section. Also, each rom released is pretty much a beta and will always remain a beta because there is no standards to which these roms are created and no "end point" to the development, its always on going. And unique bugs and problems will always occure with each Rom. So it is a continual part of development to post, read about and repair those bugs and problems to make each Rom better. I don't think a support section needs to be created. I just think people need to be less lazy and use the search tools. Even bricked phones are being bricked by a specific rom...or SPL or what have u and again should fall under development since most bricked phones was because of a bad SPL or bug in a ROM . And if it is not specific to anything that has been created or released here...Tmobile DOES have their own support forums =)
Good point, but we're not T-Mobile and T-Mobile doesn't JUST carry the G1 now do they?

You've a good point as well =). ...Yah, T-mobile mentioned something about them carrying the ION soon....so I guess "T-Mobile" can be replaced with "Your phone's manufacturer and/or carrier" hehehe
Did XDA not create forums for the Magic and the Ion and the Sapphire? Most of this development is geared towards the G1 for the most part...which pretty much is T-Mobile....Now if they just made a Forum for "ANDROID DEVELOPMENT" that encomposses all the android phones...that may work out better. But the support would still end up in the specific rom forums... I dunno...to many roms and too many phones and too many carriers lol getting had to keep up

No, and T-Mobile won't be able to support the myriad of problems that come with rooted phones and custom ROMs anyway.
The sad fact (and why this idea has never really taken off) is that no matter what you do; stickies/wikis/locked threads/temp bans etc... there is always going to be a host of fng's that don't know any better and will continue to post out of context and out of laziness.
Hell, there's a couple people that straight up know better and will still post in the wrong section because "nobody's gonna be able to help me in the Dream forum, so I'm posting here anyway."
It would seem you can't change human nature, so you're forced to moderate. Or so I've decided.

Yeah there's a forum for the Magic/Sapphire but the ION has not really been officially launched, but when it does I'm sure XDA will create another forum for it. I still think a support section would be a good idea. Most other forums have something like that, however this one does not. Just my opinion

Good list. Updated OP
So, I've been thinking about this a bit more... and drinking bombay/tonic and shots of patron, so take it with a grain of salt...hehe
Anyway, I actually think it could be useful at this point. Seeing all the troubleshooting threads in this forum, it could be useful to seperate truly general things with support related things.
The way I see it, at this moment:
Dream (26 Viewing)
Dream android development (237 Viewing)
Dream accessories (2 Viewing)
Dream themes and wallpapers (25 Viewing)
Dream applications and games (23 Viewing)
Obviously, development gets all the attention.
That's the main reason so many people go straight there to get a question answered.
However; a support thread probably wouldn't see any less visitors than the other 4 threads and certainly more than the accessories thread. I dare say, accessories could be merged with general and be replaced with support.
It wouldn't hurt to have a handful of stickies of current support issues and an entire thread dedicated to it. Maybe having a thread that floated to the top in development called support that tried to redirect people to a support forum might work well.
Anyway, just a thought. Back to the tequila...

Agreed =] I'm thankful for everyone commenting in this thread and keeping it alive. Come on guys, don't PRETEND you DON'T want a suppport section. Aren't all of you tired of the cluttered threads and the people telling you to sift through 300 page threads for answers? With this support section, finding an answer should be a breeze. I'm proposing we have sepeerate threads in the section for different ROMs and to post known problems and known solutions in the OPs. Let your opinions be heard! Going to go ahead and bump this up there. Come on! Comment! and vote in the poll
Hello All, I am considering purchasing a MyTouch 3G but need full Exchange Support. Which ROM out there is my best choice? It needs to be stable for day to day use with Bluetooth and WiFi working. Any recommendations would be greatly appriciated. Otherwise, I may end up going with the Touch Pro 2. Thanks.
I use this one, it's superb

Hello All, I am considering if you even tryed to use the search there should plenty of info about this around.
Further more i wonder if you even tryed to read the sticky topic "Please dont start a new thread if something like this happens"
Q- Which ROM is best for me/ Which ROM is the best for 32A/B?
A- Take some time on the forums, look at the ROMs available for your device and individually assess what works for you by reading the various issues affecting them and make a decision. If that still doesn't work out for you, hey, that's what makes XDA great, try a different one and so on, till you find one that YOU'RE happy with. It's very subjective since what my needs are could be totally different from what yours are.
There ya go: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=555499
Edit: reported for being a noob creating an profile and posting his first question in the wrong category without even reading the rules or trying to make a search on the subject!
Wrong forum section dude, try general instead. Thread has been reported.
MOD EDIT
Moved to general forum. In future please try and post in correct forum.
HINT - For example in your case, ask yourself is your query about themes, software, games, android development etc. No its not, so post in general.
First, sorry about posting in the wrong thread. I thought a question about rom's would go in the rom's forum, guess I was wrong.
Second, I have spent time, a LOT of time, searching the forums regarding which rom to use. I was hoping to get feedback from other people that have been using them in regards to my specific requests - Exchange, WiFi and Bluetooth. Honestly, the forums get really confusing with the multiple names the devices have, the cross device porting and such. It is not a simple task to find a ROM with XYZ. Plus the forums do not always state what does work. I was just looking for some feedback before sinking a couple hundred bucks on a phone. Sorry for being a noob.
_Belial, thank you for your recommendation.

Well i guess many people using xda started to get frustrated and annoyed about how hard it can be to find what you seek. But one of the reasons for it is that things started to get messy cause of to many topics concerning the same problems/solutions.
We all been new around here once and we can all make mistakes so no hard feeling. At least we have some good moderators trying to get things in there right places
i think the question about full exchange support is a valid one.
there are many roms out there that support exchange, but they only support email, not calendar and contacts, and the change log doesn't always reflect this.
hey everyone. im super new to the forum (as well as the adventure that is modding my phone).
my questions is quite simple: i have an lg expo and i was wondering what options i have for changing out the OS or User interface. MaxSense UI looks very cool...but i have no idea how to put the android OS on my phone. i saw a thread for dual booting Android and WinMo - im just not sure how to tackle it - and i havent seen any threads offering tuts. any help is greatly appreciated
i just realized i posted this in the wrong section. could someone please move it to the appropriate forum?
there are an awful lot of categories here....
As of right now there is not a way to put android on lg expo. Your best bet would be to flash darks custom rom if you would like something fancy.

Edit: This topic is already in discussion. Please do not create duplicate threads simply to bring the subject "up again." Please direct further discussion to [DISCUSSION] Merge subforums? A single development Forum for ALL HTC Vision phones? ~TheRomMistress
Now that the DZ has finally shipped, we're already starting to get questions about stuff that's already been worked out over on the G2 forums (e.g. deleting stock apps).
Aren't we going to get increasing overlap, and discussion of the same subjects as on the G2 forum ? The same applies for ROM Development as well as general, e.g. discussion on DZ rooting - why duplicate what's already going on for the G2 ?
If you haven't done so already, head over to the G2 ROM dev forum and see how out of date we are here already on the DZ side.
Surely there's very little stuff that's G2-specific, why don't we merge the forums ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=797956
ok, sure, there was a thread before on this, but I thought it was worth bringing up again, now that the DZ is shipping and that we're already starting to get a lot of duplication.
If you're offended that I didn't bump your original thread, then I apologise.
Dont worry mate,
just wanted to point out this has been discussed and there were detractors,
but hey I absolutely agree with you:
we are starting to DUPLICATE EVERYTHING that has beed asked/posted/discussed @ G2 fora
1.- the hinge
2.- overclocking
3.- deleting apps
4.- root
5.- torch
6.- etc...
I still think it's THE SAME device, just different 3G bands !!
Technically it is the same device but until we get full root on both there is some subtle differences.
size of /system
sense -v- non-sense
therefore until we get full root its probably easier in the long run to just replicate threads rather than merge the two.
After root though the phones become one and the same and should then be merged.
Well, I just PM'd my thoughts on this to svetius, as he asked in that previous thread. I'd encourage anyone else who has views on this to do the same.

erm can't remember where I read it but I am sure the /system on teh g2 is smaller as the rom size of vanilla is far smaller than the rom size of sense.
Root & dev will prove cross-fllash possible / impossible
Maybe shipped ROMs will be unable to cross-flash, but custom ROMs ??
Still many Qs...
but as I just stated @ the other thread, let's keep the door opened to such possibility
.
Hi, there,
I will received a g531f soon, so i searched a bit about custom rom, i found that it was going to be a game of patience for now, but for sure i found that the forum doesnt make it easy to find information/rom/etc, about the g53Xx(x) you have.
So i was wondering if there was a way we could make it simpler? like sub forum in the dev section for each models, or at least for each that works with each others.
I don't know if it's possible, i'm sorry if i am wrong.
