[Poll] do you like this new combined gs3 forum - Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)

I don't like it
Also guys when you vote please post something
This keeps the thread up high
Far from the second page

Some things are common across the GS3 independent of the carrier but there are some that are dependent on the carrier. General accessories could all be grouped into one but carrier specific ship dates, etc, being jumbled all into one it's hard to find threads you aren't subscribed to. Looks like I need to subscribe to more but somehow mute tapatalk from notifications.

XDA isn't a carrier forum. Go to HowardForums or Sprint.com if you want that.
XDA is about DEVICES. The L710 is the same configuration no matter what carrier you're on. This is how it should be.
Back in my day, under the HTC Vogue, we supported both Verizon and Sprint, and we liked it.

I don't like it. I can understand things where there are overlap like accessories, but having a carrier specific forum for general was nice because we could talk about carrier specific topics.

I get what the admins are trying to do. Save server space from redundant threads....However, AFAIC it still sucks.

I like the way things are, but time will tell how much of an unholy mess it turns out to be...

dont they all have the same hardware? so wont roms made for one, work for all? with separate forums devs will have to make multiple redundant threads?

As long as people aren't ignorant this will be fine.
I'm sure to get a good laugh out of it.

No, they will not work across each carrier, in theory they can. But I'm gonna guess each carrier has diff apps added. And diff framework icons. So the answer is no, they will not (radios get flashed outside of roms these days, no problem there).
Anyways this is related to the general section, development is still split, which is great.

i don't like it simply because the themes section also needs to be separate, i think.
edit: oh wait, it's just non-quad versions grouped together. i think it's fine then lol

And I guess you know what it means to have diff related things that arnt common between carries also right, that's why they split up development. And should have also made diff general sections.

Themes are diff across each carrier also, they should be split.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

no good especially since the forum names are the same as the internatrional sgs iii.
so in apps like tapatalk and xda in favorites you now have to forums where the names are exactly the same.

I think it would be better. Better development, better collaboration, pooling of dev resources.
Now it won't be noob friendly because I can see noobs already flashing AT&T Radios for a Sprint phone and bricking their devices.

I like and hate it. I think it was too soon to combine the General forum. These devices are still in a very volatile shipping status and until that clears people will be using the general threads to see if anyone has any updates. Clutters the whole process.

Yes Themes should be split. Were not talking Metamorph here. We are talking actual apk's and framework files. Xml diffs etc...

Development Thread is Polluted!

Is it just me or is there WAY too many ROMs now? To be honest, options are always good, but it seems there are so many different ROMs being pushed out and that worries me. It seems the Development thread is getting polluted with all these roms. Most of them seeming useless, at least to me. But what do I know?
Note: Maybe I'm getting tired of waiting for TW
This thread is D.O.A. People complain when there's too little activity in the dev section, but I've never seen anyone complain about too much activity...
Just because TW is your favorite team, doesn't mean they should be the only ones posting roms.
This has got to be the most BS complaint the vibrant forum ever had. Well that's just what I think don't know about what the others will say.

<rant> For god's sake can we please stop with posting threads like this? Its of absolute no benefit to the community. Like stated previously by tgc first people complain the community is dying nwo that its thriving yall want to complain more? If you think something in the dev thread is of no use to you then dont bother with it, choices are good, and i for one am glad that there are new roms being put out there by new devs/dev teams that are giving us more quality stuff to play with.
So once more I implore not only you but everyone to please stop posting these useless threads. </rant>
I for one am a fan of choice. Whether it be aosp, sammy themes or ports. Bring em on. If you like a single choice that's well received, I hear they call it an iphone

A little organization please

Would like to see the debt section organize into sub folders to.seperate the confusion. Example:
Sub:roms
Suborts
Sub:betas
Sub:kernels
Sub:wips
Would help find things easier
What do yall think?

I think it's fine the way it is
I wish it was by Developer
EVO Development split into 3 parts, sections for ROMs and kernels and guides/tweaks.
Then have it broken down by developer or by how recently it has been updated.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
I think maybe a sticky listing AOSP vs. Sense would be cool.
Or maybe a new subforum called "Outdated development" that everything older than like 6 months could be moved to. Not complaining, just offering some thoughts.
That's one thing SDX does, is ad child categories per version, like listed above, ie. 2.1, 2.3, etc....

a ROMS subforum and a Kernel subforum would be nice. we dont need ports and betas subforums cuz that'll just be confusing, and we dont need a WIP subforum since everything is a WIP.
I've already tried talking to the mods of the Evo 4G forum and they didn't think it was a good idea. This was about a year ago though.
just read about what your looking for in the forums, it might be a pain in the ass but atleast you'll learn something. plus thats what the search button is for.

no i get it believe me, i just dont think the mods/admins would go through with it. the way the site is now personally i thinks it best left the way it is, makes the noobs actually have to search and read to find what their looking for. thats just me though.

I can see how some people think it's a mess.. I mean lets face it tons of people do not bother reading or searching, So I can see this being a problem for those types. I mean now they have to go though a WHOLE two forums to NOT search for what they want and NOT read.. lordy lordy the sky is falling!! what on earth are we going to do? You mean we have to be a tiny bit less lazy than we already are?? lol
I saw the change last night and it didnt take rocket science to see what happened. I was like "oh ok kernels, cm, miui in here, sammy cooked roms and mods there".
If anything it's more organized now, not a mess..
Ya its not exactly complicated to figure out, and ya, if anything it's more organised.
My only gripe is the app, still no original Android development tab.
That guy last night that posted about JB sources when there was another two posts below was typical of what's going on here, I even got a screenshot of it to post but once I went into the thread someone had already very kindly pointed out the OP that he should use search! :But ya, its ridiculous and no amount of posts or stickies or whatever seems to stop people doing it.

From within the app, remove GS3 forum from your favourites and then re-add it, should then show all the sub sections including the new one correctly, but yeah would be nice if it did that by itself.

Repost?
Closed, as it seems the OP got the wrong forums.
Let me take a moment to remind everyone to REPORT problem/dupe/uneeded/unconstructive posts or threads, dont respond, report, and we (the mods) will get on it and sort it out.
We cant be everywhere, and if no one reports it, it normally wont be seen.
And leaving notes in threads for us, doesn't work, PM the section mods, or use the report system.
Thank you and happy XDAing.

Don't worry Bro, while the mods are pulling all the threads different directions, things are gonna be a little wonky. Once everything is placed in its new home, the dust will settle & all will be in their separate forums. I the mean time the forums might disappear & reappear.

HTC one M8 gay and lesbian users

This thread is to dedicated to gay and lesbian users of the greatest phone ever made, the HTC one M8.
This is not a geographically divided thread like the American / Canadian / Indian / Phillipines / Mexican / Mongolian / Vatican City / Antarctican users thread.
This is for the ones who think differently or similarly so as to speak. And how they feel about it.
I like the chamfered edge around the device, it looks sexy especially when looked at an angle. Like the lights at a night club bouncing off of it.
And the smooth sexy back.
As well as two separate trays taking a nano Sim on one side and a micro SD card on the other, how ingenious. Come to think of it, you can probably fit in two nano Sims, going by the modular size of the hole on the left edge and the rather wide tray.
Yes
..finally
I can say
Wtf!!!

Humanity will never get over differences among them if they keep bringing it up and separating themselves.
I think the reason for the other countries is because they have different variants and devices then other countries in some cases...

I right, you have a sense of humour I didn't understand.
I do agree with the whole country thing, but sometimes it's not a bad idea, where people can share offers, deals and delivery feedback in their country.
I'm bisexual, and I think this thread is unnecessary.

Some countries have slightly different hardware/firmware that is not entirely compatible with USA/Canadian versions so I think some country specific threads are of use.

Ok, this thread will be closed. And I will explain why.
Phones and devices, do not have sexual preferences. And because XDA is a development site, it doesn't have these preferences either.
XDA is a multi-cultural non-biased site. To have a thread that is labeled or restricted to "any" specific orientation, goes against what XDA is.
Understand, XDA is about development and helping others. It's not a social network. Plenty of sites across the net for that type of social interaction.
So with that said, according to XDA policy concerning the aforementioned, I will close this thread.
Cheers
