Looks like the i9000 is actually getting that 2.3 update. Maybe some other SGS models will start seeing it, I'd say everyone but us will get a glimpse.
Wrong section.
But yeah, at least the gs family looks like it will all get gingerbread.
Usually if its pertaining to Froyo/GB people don't mind seeing it in here. Hell, most people only view this subforum of the Fascinate and not general or any others. But you're right.
I feel like the Epic and Vibrant will get it in a few months, and then 25 years later Captivate, Mesmerize, Fascinate.

I don't see how it'd be ironic if Samsung is first.
Google worked with them to release Gingerbread on some hardware that was only slightly different from the rest of their phones... They had an experience, resource, and time advantage over every other carrier... and yet they failed.
That's ironic. Samsung had every advantage, and yet couldn't even freaking get Gingerbread out on their flagship product before someone else. Seems like more motivation to me to avoid any future Samsung products.
And yeah, where to post things seems pretty obvious to me: Any discussion thread, where we're just talking about various random things go in General, questions go in Q&A, and actual releases (or things closely related to development... random questions about a ROM wouldn't warrant a new thread) go in Development. Posting things in the wrong section just to get more eyes seems fairly silly to me... if people aren't reading General, it's probably because they aren't interested in those things, probably only wanting actual ROMs/kernels/etc. Then again, making any comment on this topic seems to be a good way to get people to just flame you.

I think we need a seperate forum for the 10.1v to avoid confusion.
What do you think?
I feel that will be a great help. The devices are different enough.
I would say YES, but only if 10.1 (new) comes with Exynos inside. If not it will be the same device just with different i/o ports.
Let's wait and see.

Fair enough. I think at the least, this forum should be renamed to 10.1v until further information is available.
It's also likely to get flooded with chatter about ordering, shipping etc getting closer to the 10.1 (no V) release date.
I think so..... I've seen tons of new people in this forum, flooding it with questions about the 10.1V. It's slightly annoying.

Point taken but I don't think you can blame people for posting about one version or the other. Until each version has it's own forum, this will be treated as a 'general' 10.1 forum and there is bound to be confusion / frustration.
But if the only major difference between the 2 will be thickness there is no need for 2 forums. Is there?
Nobody knows what's inside the 10.1. I doubt whether they will be similar enough to share ROMs.
The problem is that the 10.1v will be out next week and in the absence of a dedicated 'v' forum, this one is likely to get hijacked.

It already appears there will be many more differences than just thickness. Though I guess devices like the Magic (Sapphire) with the 32a and 32b versions were kept in the same forum. Also seems like the two versions may share accessories as well, so that further confuses things.
I can't imagine they will share the same cases though.
There really does seem to be a lot of confusion and threads getting hijacked right now (take a look at Galaxy Tab 10.1v 32GB thread to see how far off topic it can get and how much confusion there is).

So far non of which influences software. For me, major difference is SOC which at this point is not verified.
But if both devices will be a Tagra2 tablet than all the same applies to both of them - software and "tricks" wise.

Yes indeed!
svetius created us a seperate sub-forum for ROM development. That should be sufficient, at least for now since its the only forum where it REALLY matters. If you're creating new threads, its probably worth putting 10.1v or 10.1 in the thread title. Mind you, the latter might still attract posts about 10.1v as it is more generic

I think we need to revisit this. There are too many people posting the wrong thing in the wronf forum. This has already led to a few soft-bricks
We have a development section for every carrier, how about one for any carrier.
In my vision this would currently contain all the efforts of trying to make this possible, and in the future, all universal roms(which we will hopefully have).
Also I feel that this would promote development of a way to do this.
For those who make separate threads in every carrier section because they care enough to do so, wouldn't actually have to do so. What a great way to say thanks!!! (and give them more time to develop the rom instead of posting multiple threads.

Bad idea man. IDK how familiar you are to flashing roms and mods, but it sounds like you know that you can't flash a Sprint rom on an AT&T device (Etc etc). That's great and all, but for everyone that knows how to flash the right rom, there are 20 people who have no idea that a bad flash will brick their phone, and those people would be looking at an "all USA carriers" forum picking the coolest looking rom, not even paying attention to warnings.
Heck, take a look at all the "Omg, I bricked my phone flashing an international rom. Halp me!" threads. There's already a problem, and you have to go to a completely section of the forums to find those. Putting them one click away is just asking for hundreds of whiny "I borked my phone" threads. At least until a one mod fits all method is made standard.
So, no. I don't think it's a good idea. In a perfect world, it would be amazing, development from all carriers would get the same attention, and everyone would be happy. However, we've gotta cater to the lowest common denominator right now. Sorry guy.

Just sayin, lol.
fine, ill suggest this poll again when there is a way to have universal roms.
Nice to see my article having an impact lol
Frankly, for now, the best way is to keep them separate. ROM devs can always release them in each forum if they want to make ROMs for all 4 carriers (there can't be that many differences).
Even if a universal ROM method was released, I would still vote to keep them separate. ROMs are, by far, the most popular development in the forums, but you've still got kernels, mods, scripts, etc that won't have universal compatibility. Better to keep em separate as to not confuse people (because we all know someone is gonna release something without specifying which version it's for and someone is gonna flash it) and cause problems.
Maybe if there was a way to make everything universal, maybe. As it stands, I'd rather see a ROM dev simply have to copy/paste his ROM thread across 4 sections rather than have to see [T-Mobile][Sprint][AT&T][Verizon] at the beginning of every thread.
My 2 cents
Why don’t we give this a try?
Take a look at post #20. Is a resumed part of what I meant from the start. Sorry for causing so much troubles.

One does not ask, one is chosen. (j/k)
You join the XDA IRC and say "ops plz" (repeatedly so they notice it quickly). (j/k, and also I don't even know if there is an IRC).
In any case I do believe the account has to be a certain age and you have to have a certain number of posts (or at least those should be basic criteria).
It's probably in a FAQ somewhere on the site (or if not, should be).

You've obviously weren't around here when the Atrix Forums first opened, or perhaps you've forgotten what it was like around here.
Basically it was a lot of ex-iPhone d-bags that got the Atrix as their first Android phone, and had little respect for XDA. IMHO The Atrix forums has been "pleasant" lately compared to what it used to be when it first opened...

Dude, posting stuff like that is a good way to loose all friends here - nobody likes a self appointed hall monitor. Let the mods do their job, I don't think the policy is to remove every post that might offend someone, it's the tubes; you need to grow a thick skin.
Don't worry, the angst lake will drain once the ICS situation resolves itself - one way or the other. Although, prepare for some awesome gnashing of teeth and wringing of hands if Moto pulls the same stunt they did with the Dext and cancels the update at the last moment.
Well I'll have to admit : I knew the Htc Magic, Htc Touch2, Htc HD2, Samsung Galaxy 10.1v and the Xperia Ray community and the Atrix one is by far the worst. A lot of aggressiveness and unthankful people...

Honestly I don't think this community is all that bad. It's like any other community really, in that you have your good users and bad users.
What would really be neat is to take the regional and economical demographics of all the smartphones and compare them. Then you might have something.
Of course people's standards of good and bad are different as well, so you're always going to have someone complaining. Trust me on this, I'm a goth/industrial DJ and getting everyone in this subculture at the club to be happy is like spitting into an oncoming wind!
I don't say it's hell on earth either...it's just that there is a level of animosity that I never encountered before. Why is that, I don't know...

Then I guess you haven't seen the HTC Hero forum. There most of the fighting is between devs, and the majority of bans, blocks etc. is toward the devs, that dont play together nice...
As for this community, I admit that there are some that dont stop complaining, but as already said, in the beginning it was worst.
The best thing here is that most of the complaining is to Motorola and stinking nVidia (Burn bi$#h burn!!! ), whereas practically all the Atrix forum dwellers pay there respect to the devoted devs.
I think that most of the complains will be gone once Moto will release the ICS update. If they will not release it this community will just die slowly...

No one can answer on behalf of Moto, because they haven't said when, or even if, we will get it... Stack Exchange's Android Enthusiasts group has a wiki list of devices that are verified with links to official information stating they will get Nougat and the list is small, less than 15 devices, and the only Moto on the list is the Nexus 6.
That being said, we can probably assume the Style/Pure will get it... After the Z and G4 do, so 3-4 months maybe? There has been no peep from beta testers either, so take that tidbit as well (usually 45-90 days from start of beta tests to release).
