New forums or add sections? HELP!

Obviously a lot of you know that I run another forum, but the point of my post is not to try to recruit people over there, but to ask the mods here or the people posting with important information like firmwares, backups, dumps and mods, to help.
I have been noticing a lot of information posted on the galaxy tablet thread that is spread out all over the place and is very unorganized. We need to make sure when we post something that we make sure it says VZW, TMO, SPRINT, AT&T or whatever!
I have separated these section on my forums to limit the possibility of people screwing their tablets up with the wrong files. Feel free to throw a copy of the important post you made here on my forums if you want to keep it documented in a section thats it was made for. Other than that I am just asking to specify it accordingly here. Maybe we can do something like (VZW) in the front of the title or something.
XDA does a great job on keeping the forums neat, but with something this broad we need to separated it.
... Thoughts???
PM me the site you mention.
I agree that some prefix tags would be good. With vbulletin its easy enough to create selectable prefixes from a drop down menu also, so not too much hassle to set-up either.

UK/US markup might be an idea too.
the majority of us here at xda are talking about the eu version - GT-P1000
your forum has only the us tabs in subforums... this will confuse europeans even more

Good point . Personally I'd be happy to see a sub-section for all the posts about Verison/AT&T/sprint and how to use the device as a phone etc. I'm sure it must be confusing for those with devices that are unlocked and have phone capability to wander through so many threads about things that are of no concern to them.
organization should be as follows:
GSM galaxy tab forum(atnt,tmo)
CDMA galaxy tab forum(sprint,verizon)
in each thread header your carrier should be listed by 3 letters eg.(att,spr,ver,tmo) then topic eg.( [theme],[rom],etc...)
this would keep things organized. if dev is to get anywhere on this device, organization is key...also many are noobs that flash roms for the wrong device; i feel that if its listed like this its your own fault if you cant read...As is i can see pps flashing roms for wrong device...wont happen to me but than again, im not your everyday android user..
i read post of someone noting that most users here have/are referring to euro version of tab. that is just selfish and inconsiderate...logic dictates that if the device was released 1st in europe than more in europe would have one...well it was released in U.S fairly recently and already there are many here posting using U.S models. this is xdA dev which DOES NOT specify EUROPEAN ONLY SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB DEVELOPMENT..many of us are AMERICAN. please be considersate and consider adding structure to your forum posts so we can get this tab to the top of the food chain where it deserves to rest as the undisputed champ @ this point in time....oranization people!!!​
It should actually be at least two forum categories:
Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 which would cover most of the world and most of the devices sold (or flashed to P1000 standards).
Crippled North American Tabs. It can then have a "Even More Crippled North American Tabs" subforum for CDMA versions.
As mentioned above, many "CNAT" owners would migrate up to the P1000 forum after they've flashed to that standard, leaving the "EMCNAT" owners a nice quiet place to hang out, where they can never answer the question of "Can you hear me now?".
Note that I'm a CNAT owner.

T-Mobile GSII forum will be up tomorrow!

T-Mobile GSII forum will be up tomorrow!
The issue of separate forums for all GSII variants came up. We decided to split them all, like we did with original GS, because the devices are different, and it'd get confusing having, for example, a massive ROM thread with ROMs for four different devices. So, yes, tomorrow we'll add the forum.

Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yay!
just what i wanted to hear

Is there going to be a North America S III forum?

Like the One X since chipsets are different.
i would think there will be one for each version
Its currently under discussion, at minimum the S4 USA variants should get there own development section.
Nothing official as of yet, but they should get there own home
This thread is where you should ask for new device forums in there future though.
Closing this now, as thats all you should need to know

Seperate Dev section for the US GS3?

Just wonder what you guys think....Do you think it's necessary to have a forum dedicated to the US version of this phone since the roms for the international version won't be compatible with it?
I think it would help since there won't be any confusion as to what version a particular rom/kernel/mod is for...I think it would also help as far as troubleshooting is concerned too.
What do you think?
Sounds practical to me

I agree, there Is no point in cluttering this forum with a different device. Its a completely different beast.

So many newbs will be flashing quad core ROM's on their dual core phones, and vice versa.
It's going to be a real mess for awhile. And likely a lot of total bricked phones as a result.
This will happen, perhaps we could wait untill US versions are ACTUALLY available?
It will be broken down into VZW, Sprint , ATT and TMO..maybe under one thread, maybe completely seperate....
While sharing the same build, they will have different model #'s...as has been the case with just about EVERY phone ever released...
Chill out guys..GNEX started on Verizon...now they have a GSM/Verizon/Sprint sub thread...
Did you really think a dev would post a US rom into a I-9300 thread without clearly stating it's for said device?
They need to separate all of the variations......Korea, Japan, etc. This forum is already becoming cluttered

Closed as this has been answered before, at the very least the USA S4 versions will get their own dev sections, but the exact layout is still under discussion.

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Community Links

Hi Guys,
Just a heads up that in November I'll be supporting the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 on my site.
I'm making a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Community Links page for all Samsung Galaxy Note 2 owners. Obviously most of the links or resources will link back to XDA Developers, but the intention is to have the most relevant Galaxy Note 2 owner or new owner info in one quick-to-access place, especially for noobs who don't yet know about XDA.
The HTC Desire HD ROM lists will continue to be updated, as quite a few people still access the site for those lists. I'm getting the Galaxy Note 2 in November, so I'm waiting until then to test and see everything work on the device for myself (as I've done with the Desire HD).
Not everyone knows about XDA, so it's nice to introduce people to here.
If you'd like to send me your ideas of essential info or shortcuts, feel free to do so, via PM here at XDA or via the site.
Cheers.
Isnt that why we have stickies? Why go to your site to only hqve to come here anyway?
Sent from my GT-P3100 using xda premium
Yeah, that's right. For us regulars the stickies are easy to spot. For new people who don't know about XDA, they might appreciate a page with a few quick shortcuts to information. I think that's why the same people keep visiting the site to check the Desire HD rom list. It's a little quicker than searching through the development section.
I'm making it anyway. I love this stuff! :good:

This is all just a hobby for me, and so I went ahead and made a quick page here of Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Community Links.
As I mentioned before, it is primarily aimed at people who don't know about XDA yet (and therefore can't see the stickies - because they don't know XDA exists). Most of it links to XDA. I'll be adding other stuff and hopefully a few kind folk will recommend some other useful things which should be added, when I can get around to it.
I got my Galaxy Note 2 on release day here in Japan, on the 16th of November. I totally love it! :good:
If you think the page is worthy, please share it around on Facebook, Google+, Etc.
Just giving this thread a gentle nudge in case the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Community Links page can interest other members too.
Thanks to those of you who have given positive feedback here and there.:good:
Thanks for the inclusion of the Lowyat.net forum.

A quick explanation about the "versions" you see on the main page. Due to some database performance constraints, the mods ask that each thread contain only about 2500 posts, after which the "topic starters (TS)" or OP in XDA parlance need to start a new version.
I've also placed grantbarker.com in post 5 as additional resources.
