View Full Version : Why do we have a single forum for two distinctly different devices?

Can anyone explain why the Nike and Neon are both covered under a single forum, with their distinct hardware and firmware differences, when the different models of the Touch (Elf etc) have their own forums? It's way to easy for a newer user to mistakenly download a Nike ROM and try to flash it to their Neon, not understanding that these are two completely different devices. The Neon 300 just recently went on sale in the US, and, over time, will likely end up having just as many users as the Nike. If we can't separate the forums now, can we at least commit to re-examining the idea in the near future?

Just a though...

niki and neon are very simulare ... you can use both roms on both device.

Yes, but after you change the cid and the radio, registry stuff too. I'd like to see two different forums also. I made the big mistake of loading Throttle Diamond on my neon haha. Couldn't understand why it didn't work lol. Im sure there will be two separate parts when the neon becomes more popular. Its a huge website.:)

I have been asking for that for a long time.

All i wanted was just a development thread for the Neon, a place where i could store my roms as i went along and have feedback.

Alot of talk goes on about group of developers and their roms, donations etc...

I never once asked for a donation, i did this for fun and to make my device as streamlined as possible. I wasn´t born with the ability to cook roms, i flashed my device hundreds of times, lost nights of sleep just so i could get the phone up and running just to be able to receive calls until getting back to it the next day, flooded my little 80gb laptop with rom after rom each one a step closer to a reasonable device.

I even started a poll on one of my Roms trying to get a thread for the Neon.

The end result...No thread just me giving up. Anyway that´s me just bitching... I´ll make a contribution soon. A clean rom UC complaint.

Dude, that's why you quit cookin them? The diamond V2 was the best! I still use it with sbp 2.1. I will say, it was hard finding your roms. I thought I was S.O.L since I have a neon and most dual roms so far are niki.

Seth...I agree, I even said so in your last ROM posting thread. Your ROMs are the best out there, maybe the only out there for the NEON. Best Buy sells this phone, I'm willing to bet they'll move a few. We need our own dev thread. I flash the shit out of all my phones, but if it means we get a NEON community rolling, I'll learn to cook! I really like this phone. Compact yet fully functional, great reception, unique form factor, and for the NEON...Quad-band GSM/HSDPA with the ever-lovin 850 band. It's a nice break from my Kaiser. Thanks for the replies, I thought I'd get flamed for making the distinction between the Neon & Nike.....TWO TOTALLY DIFFERENT PHONES!
