Hi..
Just a request if possible pls get the mido forum divided in to Oreo/Naught Roms and seperate the PIE rom developmental thread.
There are too many Roms which are not in development in a single developmental forum. All of the Naught ROMs have stopped development. Oreo too is not being developed for past 2 months, these two are clogging up the forum. Its wasting peoples time.
Thanks you.
+ mido thread should be before nikel....nikel thread is not active

No idea what you are talking about. As for Oreo ROMs, LineageOS, Pixel Experience and AospExtended are still being developed. Probably a few others as well.
They are not clogging up the forum, they are simply still being developed, discussed and used by many people.
Lol.
That's Xda, mate.
Look over 4pda..compared to them are we perfectly organized here. ^^

Just an innocent question.
The three threads already here should be in the "Android Development" forum as they are about Android kernels.
This Forum seems redundant, or at very least lacking unique purpose.
I suggest that what's here be rolled into N7 Android Development, so that both readers and posters aren't confused about what belongs where. If not, the mods who created this forum ought to make clear -- in a sticky post -- the differentiation between what belongs in "Original Development" as opposed to "Android Development"
(.... unless someone knows something I don't, and there's a plan to port WebOS or Symbian to the N7 )
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/introducing-original-development-forums-for-more-devices/ - here is the announcement on the portal!!
The dev section will be full up with rom after rom after rom... Most roms will only have small differences between them... I think this is a good move from the mods... Although, it can get a bit confusing, and we now have to check another place...
Anyway, I suggest you try to get this moved to q+a, as it isn't "original development"...

@OP: Is this thread needed?
I some what agree with the OP. Only because this is a nexus device. So wouldn't almost 95% of all development for a nexus device "original development"? I could see this for the Samsung Touchwiz or HTC Sense device threads, because alot of those roms are just .zip hack jobs.
I concur with OP on this forum... It is basically just another dev forum, except now instead of 1, I need to watch 2 forums. Not really a big deal, just more of an irritance. Seems like the same thing could be accomplished by a regularly updated Sticky topic in regular Development that tracked all notable software for the Nexus 7 without needing a superfluous forum.
Maybe the android dev thread could be in the Original android dev thread? Like on android central.
I kinda like how you can sorta find what your looking for... but it seems quite confusing also at least for a while .. watching two forums now .. ugh

Well, that defines the first three threads in this forum, all about slightly-derivative kernels, yet are here because the devs think they're original. So I'm not the only one who hasn't read the split rationale.
What this particular split represents is a choice of two forums based on a totally subjective criteria -- whether it's "original enough". Will there be a litmus test -- like what percent of AOSP has to be replaced -- before something is considered "original"? And how does that split really help people find what they want in terms of features, maturity, etc.
I agree that splitting up a crowded dev forum is a good thing to do, but believe that doing it based on "level of originality" is a recipe for confusion and needless police-work for mods. Why not consider something more straightforward and easier to categorize? One possible alternative could be
ROMs
Kernels (and basebands where appropriate)
Root/booting
HOWTOS and requests for help (both from devs and users)
That would make it easier for devs, mods and users.
Yeah, I find this setup a bit confusing too, honestly.

I'm lovin that idea. If were gonna have mountains of dev stuff, the more organized, the better.
Firstly, you don't start a thread in a Dev section to ask a question, ever.
Secondly, the decision to add 'Original Development' sections to devices that have or are expected to have very active development was taken by the forum Admins, not the Forum-Specific Moderators.
So you would be far better off posing the question to them, either in this section or even in this thread.
Beyond that, given how new the Nexus 7 is, it's extremely premature to conclude that the Original Development section will be a waste of space.

Done.
I'm starting this since I didn't see any other areas where its talked about.
Installed the rom, I just love AOKP, and its fc when I use the camera? It seems worse when I rotate it. Any suggestions?
It's talked about in the thread for the ROM in the Dev section.
Not everyone feels so entitled that they need to show their presence all over the forums with multiple threads about the same ROM
We have had this discussion before!
Let the team members decide where and what thread they want. I have no issues if a team member starts a Rom specific QnA thread.
Closed!
Whats the difference between the two development forums one says original and the other android? Can you only use stuff from one forum or the other. I've had other android devices but never seen anything like this on the forums.
I noticed this a week ago and was confused by it also, so I Google'd it and apparently it started with the Galaxy S 3. Essentially what I got out of it was that original development is for completely new ROMs from established developers and Android development is for ROMs based off of other ROMs done by both established and new developers. It's kind of a stupid and confusing classification if you ask me.
I saw a suggestion in then thread that I was reading and I thought it was a great idea: instead of splitting it like this make a few different sub-forums under the dev section for the likes of kernels, ROMs, mods, themes and other stuff. It would make it so much easier to find stuff.
As far as development goes (which is the core of xda) , the droid turbo and moto maxx are going in completely different directions. Can you please justify keeping them in the same thread? This has been asked several dozen times and I have yet to see a response, personally, from any moderator.
Please for the love of god separate the droids.
I third that.
The turbo desperately needs its own forum.
After so much requests, nothing done, so. I believe will stand this way, because both are quark devices. Have 4 variants

Galaxy phones have different forums based on their variants... Not that the DT is as popular as the Galaxy S series but still, in terms of android development there's very little, if anything, in common between the DT and the Maxx. Keeping both in the same forum creates confusion and doesn't help anyone. Hopefully the mods will not ignore this request again.

Go off-topic with this thread and the moderators will start swarming
Maybe then they'll notice this very common request.

I'm thinking about upgrading to an iPhone 6 or a Lumia 540, which one is better?
Edit: all joking aside, I reported this thread to the mods, explaining briefly what we're trying to achieve. Hopefully they'll step in and create a new forum for the Maxx.
It would just be better for everyone to seperate droid turbo and moto maxx / moto turbo sections.
Yes it would be better if they were not combined! I post in this section about a phone that cannot be used on Verizon no matter what yet the name "Verizon" is in the subject.
As you have said, this has been discussed before, so Thread closed as per rule 5
Furthermore, the correct way to request a new device forum is via the
*** New Device Forum Requests ***
Please use that.
Greg
EDIT
Furthermore, it is not the moderators who decide on such matters, it is the site admins.
EDIT 2
After reading through this thread I do not see the need for any MOD bashing. I certainly do not owe anyone anything. I am giving back to this community by giving up my free time. Also, you cannot blame the MODS/Admins for not answering you lot if all you do is post requests in this forum in stead of the correct one l linked above (Which can be found with a very simple google search http://bit.ly/1yiXslb )
So on that note, thread cleaned as well
This forum ([email protected]) is dying.
We can't find roms and threads are not updated with links and last rom version.
Why developers prefer to use telegram instead of XDA??
I think it's horrible: forum is a single access point for everything about our device. Also forum posts will remain forever and will help everyone in the future, because everything is categorized in sections and threads, and there is a search function!
With telegram every developer have his own channel, everyone can write stupid uninformative messages and it's a ***** mess.
At least, I hope it's not a trend for every device but just for markw.
Devs preferring Telegram because there's quick response/interaction available, one can immediately report and get a problem resolved. Xda is slower in that context, but, it's a very essential platform.
So, what we can do is take the responsibility on ourselves to keep this subforum up to date by increasing interactions, not just relying on the devs.
It's not just markw, my friend. The situation is the same with my other device (kenzo). There are lots of roms which don't have a thread on XDA and are only available on Telegram. I guess the flashers just have to follow the devs. It's up to them.
I think it's really a bad direction for the internet in general.
Forums are like books, they stay forever (until the site is maintained at least..).
Instant messaging are like words, they fly.
