We''ve been request for the Samsung Galaxy A series for months since it came out
do the moderators even read the posts in this thread???

1+for Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7

Yeah wtf? What's the hate for this series? Devices get forums even before they come out. The A7 isn't a petty device either. I would like to see what kind of development is there before I get the device. But devs will certainly not be interested if it doesn't even have a damn forum.

Your mistaking the fact that just because a device has a forum doesn't mean there will development for said device. Developers tend to only develop for devices they own.

Other devices get forums before release due to the fact that they will most likely see alot of development.

When looking at a device the only development you can count on is the stuff your willing to do yourself.

Now if the device suites you and you decide to get it then dig In and come up with something. This site was made by developers that got sick of it and did it themselves. It is not magic. Anyone can learn to do it. You just have to to want it.

I've been searching a lot but couldn't come across a thread on XDA yet. Only the TWRP thread. Thanks for the info anyway.

True. I understand what you are saying. I do little mods here and there for myself but never have I attempted anything big such as compiling a ROM. My argument is that certain experienced devs do contribute even though they do not own a device. But I don't think they would bother if the device doesn't see an open forum.

Regardless, there are other aspects of the device I would very much like to discuss. For instance battery life and heating issues of the 615 processor, comparisons of certain devices in the same class, etc. I would like user opinions or maybe hands-on experiences and such things cannot be discussed properly without a forum and a dedicated thread.

This is my argument for requiring a dedicated forum. But of course it depends on how the Mods see it. :)

I totally agree man. What the mod said is true BUT without a development thread we can't do much. We need a development thread for the Samsung A series to spark the development and get the other developers attention/help.
plus I've seen other devices thread which is deader than the A series.
So pleeease please open up a development thread for Samsung Galaxy A series.
Pretty pleease

Sooooo are we gonna get our Samsung Galaxy A series development forum soon?
I mean we have so many requests here and I know some developers for the A series myself included (still a rookie tho) we really need the development thread please. what harm can it do if a development thread is opened up for Samsung Galaxy A series anyway right??

It will do so much good.

    Hello @Oswald Boelcke

    Redmi K60 Ultra needs a dedicated forum because the phone bootloader can be unlocked and the device has TWRP, and a large number of users have already purchased the device. Here is the TWRP device tree and pictures:

    Hello and good morning, @Google2021

    I really appreciate the trust and confidence into my capabilities that your message shows, but I as a moderator have no powers at all to create device fora.
    However, it might be useful if you here share links to Redmi K60 Ultra related threads that already exist on XDA; especially links to development threads like ROM's, kernel, recoveries would be very helpful.

    Regards

    @mvikrant97 Sorry, I've to apologise. Creation of device fora is completely out of hands of a moderator. I've no insight into the decisions or processes. As you've mentioned you've contacted our forum administrators and please don't forget they are very busy and one is absent due to real life. I can only request your patience.

    There's a forum for development if a device doesn't have a dedicated thread yet:
    Or also one for guides and tutorials:
    So, you might want to consider to encourage the developers you know to post their work there.

    Our forum administrator addressed his stance just about 6 weeks ago in this thread:
    I don't understand it either. I mean, with all due respect, development is in progress for the device (I'm involved in it too; I'll launch a new Los build in the next few days). XDA is a great place for discussion and to show such progress (and also to incentivate it). We have other threads opened recently for devices which don't have any development at all (for instance, the X6 Pro, x6 neo, etc).

    In any case, I will add posts in the indicated sections about the development I am undertaking if necessary.

    Thanks and best

    Please post all your requests here.

    The forum admins choose new device forums carefully, based on several factors. There's no guarantee your device will have a forum created here, but feel free to posts your requests in this thread :)

    Please do not send me a PM asking for a forum to be added.

    Android Car Stereo Radio Head Units

    There are multiple devices in this category that seem to be served by a couple of monolithic threads that currently try to cover all the topics related to them. The two main categories of device seem to be HuiFei devices serviced by this thread (currently 9118 posts) and the AN-21 U devices by this thread (currently 6484 posts). Both devices ideally would have their own sub-forum as they are quite distinct development wise however a "Android Car Stereo Radio Head Units" forum would be a substantial improvement. Thanks.

    Please consider creating a forum specific for the SD 778 based galaxy a52s 5g. I'm sure samsung will sell a lot of these so a dedicated forum would help to avoid confusion with the regular SD 750 based galaxy A52 5g...

    Hey there, recently All of the LG Optimus L line phones, have had their Locked bootloaders hacked and now have fully functional ROOT, ClockworkMod and soon to begin cooking ROMS, thats why we need a device forums not 300 pages threads (u basicaly cant find the stuff that was posted 1week ago anymore, its a big mess there) in L7/L5 or L3 threads, ( L3 have official Cyanogen Support and soon others will have it too ) So Please Please create device forums for us... You can create them into one single big group, believe me these devices are quite popular

    LG Optimus L3 E400
    LG Optimus L5 E610
