Heads-up - Forum merge (G2 and Desire Z) is here !
- Thread starter steviewevie
- Start date
Cuz everyone would have bricked their phone with the wrong radios and the difference in size.

Sorry but that's not right, the bootloaders don't need to be flashed to root/S-OFF your phone any more, using the gfree method. So there shouldn't be any bricking going on.
There is no different board on the G2 and DZ. You can flash exactly the same custom ROM, say Cyanogen, on both phones. No bricking.
The "framework" you refer to is in the ROM (assuming you're referring to HTC Sense), and that's the same with any phone, you can find stuff that won't work because you're running a different ROM (not because of a problem with the phone). But that's not a bricking issue.
This is the sort of misunderstanding that I think would be helped if the forums were merged.
Exactly, it's like saying 'I flashed a sense kernel on CM; It didn't work so we should split the forums
I know it's more complex but it is no different to desire GSM/CDMA

IMHO, a merge would be fine.
*The general and Q/A sections (DZ doesn't have a Q/A section?!) can be merged. It's pretty common practice to say what kind of phone, what ROM, etc that you're using anyway. If they poster doesn't say it, someone asks them, so I do not see that being a problem. Merge them.
*On the outside, these phones are identical. Accessories can be completely merged with no issues. Cases that work for DZ will work for G2 and vice versa.
*For the Dev section...well:

A thread in DZ that has a root method that works on G2
If something doesn't work on both phones, then it's not big deal to add the words "G2 ONLY" or "DZ ONLY" to the title so people don't try the wrong things on accident. If someone doesn't read the whole title, then they're stupid and deserve the consequences.
*Themes and Apps
Same reasoning as the dev section
A full merge is the best idea, then we'll have everyone on the same page as these are basically the same phone. I can't see a reason why we shouldn't that can't be fixed with simple logic.

Did the merge go okay?
Looks like most of the threads in the Accessories area are about the Desire HD...

I got scared when the link to desire z forum wasn't working. spend good 5 mins on clicking the link again and again. suddenly, I remember about G2 and z forum merge and clicked here. The desire z link should be linked to here.
Lol yeah looks like something went a bit wrong there. I PM'd svetius about it, don't know who actually did the merge itself.
Edit - looks like a few DHD posts have ended up in our merged Q&A forum too. Strange, because the DHD doesn't have a Q&A forum as far as I can see

Give us some time to straighten everything out. In time, things will look good as new

Thanks for your work on this, it's looking good already even though it needs a bit of tidying
