Why no dedicated forum? - Google Chromecast

Jeez XDA, still no dedicated forum for Chromecast? With its current sell out & continued interest you'd think there would already be a dedicated forum here.
Then again, why am I surprised at XDA being slow on the uptake lol!

Really? No Dev section, no general, etc... "Umm" your definition of a dedicated forum and mine appear to differ.

It's only been out for a weekend. Many people that ordered the first day still havent even received theres (myself included). Give it a week or so. It's already been rooted and people are figuring out work-arounds to do what they want with it. Until there's actually mods to make to the device, it probably want get a dedicated section.

But I sure that xda forum is a dedicated forum where all persons can share any new information or problems. I will say thanks to xda forum for aware the informations of dedicated developers. I also visited CSS Chopper where a number of results always found the dedication of developers.

I asked about here but no response.

Which Galaxy Tab

Hi guys,
I plan on getting the original Galaxy Tab but before I do so, I wanted to know if it makes a difference in terms of rootability/ROMs,etc...
I will only use it with wi-fi so it doesn't matter to me which carrier it is with but that said I do not want to get the wi-fi only version because I hear it is not as powerful as the ones sold by the carriers.
I personally prefer the Sprint one but that's just because it has the white back but I seriously want to make the right decision for the right reasons. I actually bought the asus transformer but I just love that feel of the galaxy tab in your hand, the way you can type,etc and for some reason I do not like honeycomb. I guess I am old school and just like the phone version of Android on my tab.
I'd really appreciate some inputs.
Thanks
You really should read the forum rules. this is the dev section. Questions go in the questions and answers section.

Thanks, I am aware of the forum rules. I've been around long enough and I know this is the DEV section but my question is kinda related to the developability of this device so that's why I thought this might be a more appropriate section.
If necessary, I'd appreciate if the admins can move it to the q&a section.
Thread should be moved, but I sent you a PM for things to consider when you purchase your Tab. My personal preference is GSM. Hit the thanks button if I helped a brother out.

Well you are obviously not aware of the rules otherwise you would know that no questions of ANY kind should be posted here, development based or not.
This section is for posting or work and reference ONLY!
Questions go in Q&A
Developments go in Developments
Simple as that

I was in no way rude. I said please and even wished the OP fun using the app...I have it myself.
But lets be honest here...that post was about 20 threads down and the open was making a request.
This is why I keep my development to myself. Watch your words when judging others. Reported.

Yes, there was but this is supposed to be a community, and your actions shows otherwise. It's so easy to say "Hey search it up," but just providing the link would have ended the thread; in turn letting it die.
Really? Reported? How childish. No jeers or hurtful words were used, my opinion is that even with a "please" involved that was still a jerk response. This will be my last response on this thread in terms of speaking to you. If you have more to say take it to PM. I forgot how butthurt people on the internet get.
Enjoy your night .
I was thinking about reporting tincbtrar for being rude. Honestly, there's a lot of posters on XDA that would rather jump down your throat for being unable to navigate all 10,000 boards successfully, than to actually answer your question.
I am truly sorry to the OP if I portrayed the image of being rude.
However, The first rule of this forum is to use search. This rule was created so we wouldnt have people creating multiple posts. It is a hinderance to everyone who uses the forum to see mutiple posts. This, for one, is the second request for the same application.
We all do our part to share, and if you read through that thread, I am sure I did my part to help contribute to the community.

Well, search this forum for "supernote", and THIS thread is the only one that pops up. Really, I know search is the default answer for a lot of long time-ish members, but before telling people to "just search", realize that search is not the answer to everything.

No, if you search the forum using advanced search from a browser (not the xda app) you will also get this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1282279&highlight=Supernote and another thread on Writepad in which Supernote is mentioned.
The xda app is terrible for searching, so that is probably why people get frustrated and just post new questions. I feel ya. However, it does get tiring answering the same questions over and over. So in the words of the immortal Rodney King "can't we all just get along?"

Thank you Okantomi! You are known for helping a lot of people...and for a while I was trying to do the same.
However...when I see backlash like this I give up. The point of xda is to help develop the community...and its a lot easier to help and share when people follow the rules. Creating posts just clutters the forums. I search three times using different search engines to ensure multiple posts are not created - which also ensures people can develop...not answer the same questions five times.
Alas...the apology was heartfelt and hopefully we can all get along.

There's plenty of threads about this in the "about xda" forum. If you'd read the rules then you'd know to search first and you'd have found the myriads of other closed threads about the subject.

New Trend of ROM Discussion

XDA is forum for Custom ROMs, Discussion, Troubleshooting, etc.
From sometime Thread OP are creating a Telegram group to discuss bugs, troubleshooting and other things, and posting the Links in OP then what is meaning of creating threads on XDA. Why XDA mods are allowing these threads. My personal opinion is all the discussions regarding the ROM or Kernel should go on thread not on other platforms.
What do other XDA members think. Share your views here to stop these practice's.

I understand what your referring to as I've seen this as well from time to time...
I had thought that there was an XDA Forum Rule(s) that restricts the sole use of the Telegram on the forum (I believe that there's more to this rule as well)
The choice of one of the following threads is probably your best bet for providing this type of feedback.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1976627
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987254
Only a Moderator/Administrator (like @MikeChannon or @Darth for example) can really provide a clear outline/understanding for this rule.
Good Luck!

There's this we put out not long ago, https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/telegram-chat-channels-forward-t3764521
Basically, no TG links should be anywhere on xda, except in post number one of a development thread, only. We realize devs may want some quick communication with members for some issues, and real time chat is obviously quick.
But no links to TG should be anywhere else on xda. :good:
Just hit report if you see links outside of the first post in a dev thread, and mods will handle it.

Thank you very much for your time with providing this valuable guidance!
Now I know more about the XDA Policy regarding this specific topic.
I am not a big fan of the Telegram being used as a primary means of support for a development and such that's posted on the Forum but, I felt that it could be an alternative tool in addition to active support on the said Developmental Thread posted.
Just my personal thoughts... :thumbup:

Exactly! One TG link in a dev thread op is supposed to be an optional way of communicating. Definitely never the only way. If it's found that a OP is only supporting, discussing or updating on Telegram, the thread would likely be closed if its discovered to be this way. :good:

Thank you for clearing this up.
Sometimes some user post a bug or need troubleshooting, other user guide him/her to a Telegram group for that specific thing and do not discuss it inside thread. This should not be permitted.
I think there should be strict rule regarding what is permitted to discuss outside the thread.

Just my opinion on this (and from what I understand regarding the XDA Rules)...
I believe that there can be certain circumstances with providing guidance via Telegram but, it shouldn't be the sole option for the member.
As a member myself, I actually don't use Telegram but, I have used it previously under certain circumstances that are very seldom if that.
As a developer myself, sometimes there's support/guidance that is preferred to be taken offline and, if needed, the results would be determined to be of value to other members within the thread or something that didn't.
I do personally prefer to keep most conversations on the thread as something beneficial to other members but, there has been occasions that I'd prefer to take it offline to prevent misunderstandings and confusion.
I hope that I had stated the above okay via text... :thumbup:
I did notice that this discussion was also continued elsewhere, and even responded to by @the_scotsman and @Weapon X as well...

I understand the want for this but lets all really be honest. Development and support has been moved off XDA for years. A forum setup just doesnt really benefit the fast paced nature of currant development. Even back when I made roms for the old Galaxy S1 the team would do all development off site. Mostly because it was a faster response time. XDA has become a staging ground for roms while everything development and learning are done in chats. Like The most popular telegram or whats app and I hear some are even using discord (not sure about that last one as it seems out of place on a gaming messaging platform but hey)
As for the rule about the link only being in the OP. Well they have been getting around that by sending PM with the links or just flat out posting the links. No one reports it so no mods see it unless they stumble upon it.
If XDA wants to remain somewhere other then a place to post rom links thy might want to figure out that IM style messaging setup sooner or later.
Darth I can tell you that thererare many roms that are only updating on telegram and only offer support there as well. Everything posted here is just the "stable" versions if you know what I mean. Long has XDA been being used as a traffic grab by many.
Just my 2cents.
Is Custom ROM safe to install in smartphones? because most of the custom ROM's soft brick the phone.

Does anyone know if a XDA forum will be created for the Google Pixel Slate Tablet?

As the title says i cant seem to find one. Anyone know of any other forums?
Looking for one myself..haven't seen one yet.
Looks like we have one now...

How about a forum that has:

THEMES, APPS, AND MODS,

Does anyone know why one hasn't been created yet?

Well as linked by Ibuprophen we have threads for the device specially tagged to keep them linked together but also to let us see if it is very popular. If it is we add a forum set if the number of threads rises to around 3 pages of threads.
Currently I see only three threads tagged. There may be more but you'll need to give us links to any threads for the device that aren't yet tagged.
