I would like to request a seperate forum for the Sony Xperia XA2 Plus (voyager). There are already fora for the regular XA2 (pioneer) and XA2 Ultra (discovery).

Since I have a custom rom for the XA2 Plus, I would like to create a thread in the correct place.

You're right. There's currently no own forum for this device, which has "only" an E.T. (https://xdaforums.com/t/sony-xa2-plus) at the moment. The reason for this, I've tried to explain in this post that is only two posts above yours.
Just create in this forum and publish the thread for your ROM. It will get the E.T., and when an own device forum is created, your thread will go into the development forum.
Just continue your work for the XDA community. It's highly appreciated. Dank U wel.

Umidigi S3 Pro, please.

It just got launched today and by the specs it deserves some developer attention, IMHO:

I've got a suggestion for an ET Device...

Samsung Galaxy J8 / On8 (2018)

I believe that the On8 is the variant of the J8 that was just released in India.

Just a suggestion... :)

EDIT: Added the "2018" since there's 2 variants to the devices.
5 days after your suggestion for this very special variant, the Samsung Galaxy J8 received its E.T.:

The dervice need separe from the Doogee X5

Doogee X5 Max/ Doogee X5 Max Pro
You're right and they've received different E.T.'s today:
Doogee X5 Max
Doogee X5 Max Pro

I saw it. That means we won't get a specific forum for the s5e?
Just three posts behind the one you've seen I quoted post #2 of this thread, which explains the conditions when a device is going to receive a "full" forum.
...
When an ET grows to the point a discussion page becomes un-manageable and cumbersome for members to navigate, we will add the sub-forums and give the device full forum status. A general consensus on this is three pages. If anybody notices an ET with 3 pages or more, feel free to PM me, or point it out in this thread, we will look into getting it upgraded.

Just an FYI...

The following are recently created Device Dedicated Areas of the forum for the XA2 & XA2 Ultra.

https://xdaforums.com/xperia-xa2

https://xdaforums.com/xa2-ultra

The following is the XA2 Plus Enhanced Tag link that hasn't reached the criteria for a Device Dedicated Area yet.

Good Luck! :)

It would be useful to have Samsung galaxy s7 and s7 edge cross development forum since many roms and mods work with both, and could help with practically the same thread being posted twice. Just like there is for S8/S8+
I believe that when there's an existing Device Dedicated Area of the Forum already established, any enhancements/changes to those areas fall under certain other Administrators like @MikeChannon.

Good Luck!

I had a look at the S7 forum. I'm sure it's true what you say and if we were a couple of years ago it might have been useful to do this. However, from what I can see, there are only a few ROMs that have been created this year and tbh that number is not going to be rising. The ones that already exist, may well be posted twice but the Devs likely won't want their threads messed around and moved, so a joint forum would likely only be useful for a limited number of ROMs going forward.

I have a umx u504tl. Can u guys set up some forms for it I can't find it anywhere.
I don't believe that your fully grasping the concept of the process regarding what has to be considered when the ET Admin determines whether or not to create a New Device ET (Enhanced Tag), and later, the New Device Dedicated Area on the Forum.

The best way to help you out with this understanding is by quoting the following information by the ET Admin himself.
.
The amount of request is irrelevant, as explained in post #2 of this thread, it's all about threads.......... as explained in post #2, we need threads before an enhanced tag (and possibly a forum later) can be created.........
... and another way to look at it (quoted from a previous post by myself):
.
........ "ET Links/Device Dedicated Areas doesn't prompt/make the Member Created Forum Thread's.

It's the Member Created Forum Thread's that prompts the ET Administrator to determine if the device warrants the creation of the ET Links/Device Dedicated Areas within the Forum.........
Please let the ET Admin (or his Santa's Helpers here LOL! ) know if you require any further Clarifications/Information specific to the topic of this thread.


Good Luck Everyone and please thank the ET Admin, @O_G, for the great work he does in providing the above to the best of his ability! :)

    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

    @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.

    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...
