@all moderators
due to the high number of new threads about new roms and other and due to the high number of discontinued roms and thread, I want to propose a new rule: all owner of rom/thread that decide to stop relasing, support or other must write at the beginning of the thread title "discontinued since...." and the date of that communication.
With this, all the people that want news, support, new relase or other, doesn't lose time in writing question and waiting for never coming answare and chefs and others don't lose time to answare about something they don't want more...

Or better chnage the title of the thread like [discontinued]
Then you can see inthe thread list what roms are still in progress and not.

Some people do the right thing - for example: capychimp [EOL] or m-deejay [Discontinued]. (2 quick examples)
It is a good idea. I posted this thread fairly recently to hopefully tidy things up from my end. (I like to keep an up-to-date list on my site, which I check a few times a day.)

Good suggestion. I sometime feel lost searching for the threads here
Rules are good but what about all the other rules on this forum that are broken every day. Look how many application questions are in the general and questions section. How about how many times somebody asks what's the best ROM? Or somebody asks should I change/upgrade phones. The forum is loaded with NOOB questions that have no place in this forum to begin with. How can you even begin to search when the forum is flooded with threads such as these?
But yet you can go to the development section and within 5 minutes browse through the first few pages and get all the info you need about ROMS. Open the thread up and see when the thread was last updated by the developer. Even if the developer has not updated lately there still are others that help and add to the ROMS.
I guess what I am trying to say is why keep putting all the rules and regulations on the developers when it is the noobs causing this forum to be so unsearchable.
This forum should be kept as place to mods, questions, news, and other development that pertains to all non quad core galaxy s3's because then we will still be able to expand on all of our phones at once instead being limited to our section only. I think the device thread separation was necessary but we should still have a place for stuff that pertains to us all
I'm confused. Isn't that what it is now? General section for AT&T, T-Mobile, Spring, and Verizon Galaxy S3's
Edit - just saw that it's all getting broken out into subforums again. Lame.
I concur

thank you thank you thank you!!!!!
I'm all for the united dual core version forum since all great ideas can come together with no worry of carrier. Keep the forum
I'd like for it to be united as well.
Yea I like it together too I think there should be a poll or something since no matter how it is set up someone will complain

change is good.
I'm good either way but the mods have made up their minds.
NotATreoFan said:
The merge was initially done because we had high hopes that everyone would play in the sandbox nicely. Sadly this did not happen to the level we hoped for, although do not misunderstand, there was a lot of carrier-independent collaboration going on. It also ended up being a nightmare to keep clean and [relatively] free of clutter due to threads not being labeled correctly.
The Accessories sections have been merged with the International section, so clicking those links will take you to a one stop shop for advice on what to buy for your newest toy. Of course the Development and Original Development sections will continue as well.
Let's make the best of this situation. With some help from everyone, we can get everything sorted in a day or two. In the meantime, new threads should NOT be created in this section. It just increases our workload.

I prefer my own section for my device. I certainly did not like having to sift through all of the Verizon locked bootloaders, Tmobile data questions, and AT&T locked LTE data switch threads. I fully support development ports from one device to another, but no need to combine all of the general sections of each device into one major one.

I like the the devas seperation decision but I also believe we should have a Dual core s3 forum so we can post news and other dev for all devices.

OK, so I've searched the forums, and so far have come up empty. Mods, if I missed a thread , I apologize.
What I'm looking for and would love to find, is a list of ROMs, sorted by device. Like if I wanted to see what ROMs are available for my Nexus 7, I would like to be able to visit a website, enter my device and be shown every ROM that is compatible with my device..
I believe developers would have an easier time of spreading the word about their products, if people didn't have to spend hours surfing the forums, searching for people who are running whichever ROM on whatever device. Just my 2 cents.
The fact that something like this doesn't exist is beyond me. Maybe I just can't find it..
It doesn't exist because it is logistically unfeasible and impractical. The closest you could hope to come to something like this is goo.im, and it is by no means all inclusive.

You could certainly start a Wiki. It would be a service to some.
My own request would be for people who start topics, give them a title as specific as possible.
A topic as general as this one wastes an awful lot of folks time, opening it to see what it is about.

How is logistically impossible? Its just data being pointed to by hyperlinks.. All it would take is for various developers to submit links to a particular site that would allow users to search for their device. Much like this site, as it allows you to select your device then attempts (horribly) to show you what is relevant to your device. Problem is, if you want to find out, for example, what's the hottest new stable ROM for your device, you have yo sort through all the crap unrelated posts to find it.
And as far as practicality is concerned..it would be EXTREMELY practical. The idea itself is to simplify to the process by which people access information. Pretty sure that's the DEFINITION of practical.

What you propose would necessitate all developers submitting their Tom's and updates. As of six months ago, there were roughly 4,000 distinct versions of hardware running Android in 195 countries. Also take into account the multitude of individually compiled kangs, along with the fact that many roms see updates on a daily basis, and the necessary scope of such a project gets even deeper and more costly.
For the devs, it would represent nothing more than yet another repository for them to keep up with. Others don't want their roms mirrored by third parties, as they prefer to either directly track their downloads or have the traffic driven to their sites.
As it stands, goo represents the most comprehensive solution to your query given the real world limitations faced.

Bad Idea.Confusion and Bricked Devices would Increase
i think having a list type site would be a injustice to the rom Developers. As they post vital information and updates as well as user feedback on the Developers. Rom threads posted here in Developer forums.. Also it allows feed back between developers and users on what they want ,what works and what does not...
Not to mention the ability for users to help with the development of there favorite rom by passing donations to the Developer..
The so called list is here alive and active. Its called xda developer forums.. Each device has its own forum each forum is broken down into sections. What more would be needed then our Developer forums . Then developer rom threads.
I would not download a rom bases on a list from a 3rd party site.. I can see that causing roms being mistaken from one to another..
Just my opinion.. what we have now is not broken.. No reason to fix it cm 10 has a download list of all roms... Paranoid andorid does as well all the big dev teams do this... Your just not looking deep enough ...
One more thing. If it were that simple without having to read about a rom. There would be a ton of bricked devices from people not knowing what they are really doing when flashing or the risk they are taking..
Good Luck on your List and getting developers on board..

I think that if this was split into categories that would make it much easier to find something. Categories could be
Hardware
Programs
Installation
Etc
It would make things organized and keep this from getting too big and filled with junk. Would make it easier to sift through also

Yup exactly what I mean
I would love to have a Sony UI on my Nexus 7.
Is there perhaps a ROM that lets me enjoy the Sony tablet UI on my Nexus 7?
I can't just install the Xperia Home apk file.
Sony's UI is the only one I think is better than stock Android as I have now and it would complement my current Sony Xperia S.
I've googled this and I've searched here on XDA for a similar thread but I couldn't find anything of use.
I can't be the only one, can I?
I would really appreciate anyone who could help me out. I'm sure you'll be helping out others too!
It's hard to port only launcher, because these OEM launchers rely heavily on their own framework. You can search around a little, I think (but not sure) that I was some xperia related apps being ported, but I don't know where.

Is it difficult to port the entire Sony UI thingy to the Nexus 7 then?
It's a shame. Sony makes their UI very clean and very elegant. A Sony Nexus 7 would therefore be epic and I presumed it could just be ported as it's simply a skin of Android (or so I had thought).

I don't know if you've realised, but I had already tried searching and I even responded to that thread already.
So unfortunately your reply wasn't of much use to me. The thread even says it's "coming soon" but it was made a while ago.
Use your eyeballs next time please
Then post in an already existing thread rather than making a new one. Read the forum rules. Making threads about the same issue or question is not going to solve anything. Post in one that exist. If it gets a reply, great. If it doesn't, too bad.
Edit - You created this thread almost 2 hours before you wrote in the existing one, which tells me that you in fact did not search for it first, but just made a thread. So don't tell me to "use my eyes" next time.

To the EDIT: I did indeed use the search function before posting this. I just couldn't find anything relevant in the first couple of pages so I guess it would've been easier to just make a new thread. Maybe others who hadn't thought about it might enjoy a Sony UI on their Nexus 7.
Oh and also, this thread is very generally speaking. I'm not just looking for the launcher. Or individual apps. My intention was to find a custom ROM or anything related to the Sony UI to be ported to the Nexus 7. Not just what(ever) was in that link.
Thanks anyway for the attention. This is getting off-topic so I would prefer to see posts of something relevant to my question. Like an actual ROM or something. Maybe even getting a modder as far as to make one himself :victory:
EDIT: Why do you feel the need to correct every tiny mistake I could've made regarding posting rules? My number of posts isn't very high so one would presume I'm new here and I don't know everything there is to this forum yet. A tiny additional note might've been more in place.
I'll try to keep this short. Around 99% of questions have already been asked and answered here on XDA. Chances are if you search hard enough, you'll find it. Rather than taking the lazy route and just creating a new thread, it's generally preferred to do research. That is what XDA is all about - research and development.
While I am not a moderator here, I am an active member, and I try to guide and point people to the right direction as much as I can, in order to keep the forums clean. Because after a while, you too will get sick of seeing people asking the same questions over and over again, even when there are 50+ page threads dedicated to the topic.
Don't take it personally, I am just trying to help. And I did by providing you with a link, pointing to where this discussion should be taking place - in an already ongoing thread.

I agree with that, and yes, I have read enough on these XDA forums that I do get tired of noobs asking the same thing over and over again, but my thread is more of a general question regarding a way to add a Sony UI to the Nexus 7.
And I haven't seen one of these threads yet.
So yeah, if anyone has any idea how to get a full Sony Xperience on the Nexus 7, I'm more than happy to hear about that!
Sv: [Q] Sony Tablet UI on Nexus 7 - is it possible?
Hopefully, Xperia Tablet Z will be more popular, and get a bigger XDA community.
The search feature on the xda app is terrible. I find better results using the website or Google.
