Hello, I'm a developer in Korea. I'm new to XDA.
I'm writing this post because I found that the ROMs and Kernels for Korean Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2, although they are incompatible with the global models, only are posted under the global models' forums due to the absence of separate forums.
Because I'm new to XDA, I still am not fully aware of the XDA culture: I'm not sure if XDA is careful about creating new forums especially if the new forum isn't provisioned to attract a whole lot of threads. However, U.S. variants all get separate forums, and I believe it would worth asking.
Thanks for reading :good:

POTATO!!!!
In this kind of situation, another forum won't generally be created unless there's a high demand for it. So a good place to start would be making a request in the thread that Prawesome linked to and get other users of the Korean variants to make requests there aswell.
Also, if you PM a mod of the S3 forum you could ask to make a thread where all things related to the Korean variant would go. It's not exactly what you're after but at least it's a start.
Thanks. I went to the thread and requested.

Hello,
I'd like to request a forum for the Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660 and GT-S5660M (Bell Canada variant).
There are already two or three ROMs that have been posted for the Euro 5660 and I've managed to make an ODIN flashable stock 5660M backup, meaning people can safely get to work on that variant as well.
The device launched a few months ago in Europe and Asia, and two weeks ago in Canada.
Right now the posts are scattered all over, or worse mixed in related Galaxy family phone threads like the Mini or the Ace...
Its a mid-range device and I don't think there's the critical mass to make a 4-5 forum setup, but at least a single place where the few existing threads could be moved would be nice.
Thanks in advance,
Darkshado

Nice! Our phone totally deserves it's own section!
1. Any rom posted must be listed in a Roms sticky for each device.
2. Any kernel used or posted must be posted also in a Kernel sticky for each device.
3. Any updates to either must be updated in said sticky.
4. Sticky posts should be maintained to be current, not up to date as of a year ago. Look at Desire HD sticky, it suggests to go to the complete desire hd info thread, and it is current as of last May.
5. MD5 or other checksums for all!
It is hard to find the CURRENT version of a kernel, or radio because there is no kernel section, and the radio/ril threads do not have all the radios/ril in the OP. Yes I search, yes I read, in fact I read many threads every day, but it is difficult to figure out where the right or newest version is if they aren't all together. It has become a big mishmosh of information. The mods try to keep posts relevant to thread, but they need to help implement a better structure for the actual files.
This isn't a bash against mods, so calm down, just a suggestion to improve the site for everyone and reduce the number of garbage posts that exist because of disorganization.

You are right
your right
nice thinking man
There is a general naming convention used in most forums. If something is out of date or in need of attention in your device specific forum, please contact your FSM.
Absolutely right bro. Thanks for jotting it down.
Wouldn't it be easier to have subforums for kernels, roms, mods etc?

It's really about consistency and an easy way to find the information you're look for. I think a WIKI along with editable lists would be much more maintainable than a single thread to represent very different things. And then have discussions go on in the background.
Having discussions over new roms and [ROM], [KERNEL], [HBOOT] and [etc] releases in the same subforum leads to a confusing experience. Not to mention many different subforums per device, and seeing users posting questions to not so relevant forums (or not having permission to post to the right forum). The user experience is quite aggravating, actually...
But I don't think Forums are an easy way to handle discussions, anyhow. Once you get to more than a few pages in a thread, it becomes hard to track all the information that's going on, even though it's all available publicly.
It would be nice if posts that were 'thanked' were shown with higher priority vs. the ones that weren't. Or maybe something a la reddit with its upvotes (but that has its own set of problems too).

What about having subforums for kernels roms(like aosp/sense) etc?

idea
I think we need a separte part of forum for our samsung galaxy s plus 9001 no insead of samsing galaxy s 9000
so this is my idea LOL
right on point. i think some re-structuring would help to make things better! Thanked!
I am all for devs getting more standards imposed on how they post but shouldnt all posters have more standards.Recently when mods tried to impose standards on the general posting population they didnt think they needed to follow any rules.

I agree with this one but this has been already answered by one of the modes - no green light from the XDA mgmnt for the sep. section for i9001.
We need a site mirrored on this site except with no comments, just the basic skeleton. Newbies can start there, answer and ask any questions and developers can choose to respond to stupid questions if they wish. This site will be a time trial site where spammers and the developmentally challenged can be routed out early on. Existing members will fear being sent to the kinder garden site and so will also follow the rules etc.

A lot of great ideas that would help people actually find what they are looking for before they post the dame question that has been answered. If those q&a could just be moved up to the OP or to an asked and answered OP for the Rom......

I wish we could really +1 posts, and also, when someone quotes our message in a reply, that the quoted poster can be notified. Many times I'm looking for an answer that may come days later, but I'll never know if there are hundreds of messages a day.
+1 and -1 with sortatiton option would be the best thing. That would help to find most useful info in threads really quick.

What about linking a thread by category or handset vendor? For example, thread "Xperia Mini Pro active development" will be placed in "android development" category and "Sony Xperia" category. Both are the same thread. It's not a clone thread, but lonking thread, so one thread is original and another thread is a linked thread points to original thread (just like 'ln -s' in linux). So everyone can browse it from any category they used to be.

As someone with a sprint galaxy nexus. it's hard to find clear topics on what's relevant to my device.
Perhaps we can separate General by CDMA/LTE and GSM/HSPA
or alternately since sprint and verizon have differences themselves.
Sprint Nexus, Verizon Nexus and GSM Nexus.
Hey buddy. We've been dealing with it just fine before the Sprint phone showed up. General and Q&A need to be kept together. The only need for separate forums is when it comes to Development (which they've added).
MOST topics pertain to everyone. And if theres a need for a specific thread, label it with [SPRINT], [VERIZON], or [GSM]. There's no need to spread out the usefulness of a general forum because you can't comprehend what's going on in an OP.

No need for over-organization. This is fine.
Been fine over at the nexus s forums for a while. A month after the spring phone has been out. It week seem less cluttered

If you can't differentiate between a GSM thread or a CDMA thread I don't think you need to be flashing your phone anyway. Plus most "general" issues are the same no matter the device.

In the past, I suggested that Nexus devices deserved their own forum grouping. I was told that this was an end-user perspective, but this forum is meant more for the developer perspective. I totally get that, which is why I'm now making this new suggestion.
The Galaxy S4 subforums are a mess. You have the i9500 and i9505 under the same listing, but they have different hardware. Thankfully, you've separated them within that group. However, the i9505g has no subforum. People are making random threads about this phone on most of the S4 subforums (I have to check the unlocked, T-Mobile, and AT&T variant forums at a minimum). I see a few potential solutions to this. The first is to give the i9505G its own subforum. Due to the partitioning, it does have its own issues with development (you currently cannot flash a Touchwiz ROM to the GPe due to smaller partition, but a GPe ROM can be flashed to a TW variant but with less user available storage). Due to this, many ROMs (if not most) cannot be ported to the i9505G, so it should not be discussed in the same areas as the other models.
Another solution would be to take ALL of the S4 variants, and group them within two subgroups; Exynos and Snapdragon. The Snapdragon subgroup could have the development subforums for all of the carrier variants. As it stands, these phones all have the same hardware with the key differences being radio firmware. In many cases, ROMs made for one can be flashed with no changes to another.
In conclusion, the current Galaxy S4 forum situation is difficult for i9505G users, but it's also a mess for development due to there being so many sub forums for identical hardware. At the very least, it would be nice if you could give an i9505G sub-subforum under the i9505 (due to model number) or T-Mobile variant (due to same hardware/radio firmware). Regardless of your decision, thanks for your time in reading this.
I was actually looking to ask get separated both i9500 & i9505 one.
I think we can consider to merge with same hardware. Like i9505 & i9505G.?

The immutable problem with posting that question here - is that people are just simply biased. You're going to get the majority of people saying OnePlus just by default, here. In the redmi forums, you're going to get the exact same bias.
But I understand you're conundrum, .......where can you post this?
Judging by your (op) post history now, do you even own a OnePlus 9 pro?
