You may not be aware, but the XDA Portal—our little news outlet—is celebrating its second birthday! From the start, the main objective of the Portal has been to serve as a virtual window into the endless supply of development here at XDA.
Our first article was posted on January 16th, 2010; and since then, we’ve been dedicated to covering content that ranges from development works, various guides and tutorials, and interviews with Recognized Developers.
Under the leadership of our new Portal Administrator and Editor-in-Chief Will Verduzco, we will be sure to keep sight of our focus of making the . . . READ ON »
Ok, gloves are off. If what CIQ wanted was a media storm, they got one. Yes, this is not my standard article where I try to start it up with a bit of a warm up to some regular story. This is a rather serious issue and one that will likely need your full support for your fellow community member and dev, XDA Recognized Developer TrevE. So, this is a petition to all of our readers, members, and followers to completely and absolutely blow this out of proportion. Retweet, cross post in social sites (reddit, digg, 4chan, slashdot, etc), . . . READ ON »
It seems like the news lately is turning more into obituaries rather than exciting stuff. However, what we are about to write here is a huge thank you note to a man whose legacy and contributions to the computer world far surpass that of many others in this last century. Dennis Ritchie was by far one of the most influential people in the world of computing and technology as we know it today. Many of you are probably thinking “who is this guy?” If you are, then let me tell you that this man is responsible for two of the . . . READ ON »
Over the last few months, you have likely seen a hard push by manufacturers in attempts to try and get closer to developer communities like ours. The effect that we have on their product sales is strong enough to create a tough situation for any company that decides to ignore this part of their consumer base. The best examples that you can see would be number of devices and users of Samsung and HTC products as compared to other brands that are not as developer friendly like Motorola and Sony. The effect is not a coincidence as our intervention in . . . READ ON »
You all know that we have had the Portal up and running for a little over 18 months now. In that time, we have added lots and lots and lots of content from all around the site. Everything has been featured here from themes and icons, to apps, mods, guides, and even some rather questionable hacks. But I am here today celebrating my 1,000th article in the Portal with a much more serious and pressing matter.
Allow me to provide you with a working definition of what our site truly is, what its main focus is, and what rights and . . . READ ON »
Some of you may remember a while back, we were tinkering a bit with the idea of making XDA t-shirts to show off your community spirit. Well, after a while we found a relatively good vendor that sent us a few samples, so that we could evaluate how well they would be received by the community. As you can see from the screenshot, they are pretty much directed at us since no one outside of XDA will know what ORD actually means. In any case, we thought about selling these samples at a very low cost to members but we . . . READ ON »

Some of you were a part of the recent “ask Samsung a question” thread, which admittedly turned out to be a failure as the pace of questions was too fast. Naturally, sometimes we make mistakes when we try new things here at XDA. That said, we still want to give you an opportunity to communicate with Samsung and have your questions answered. We’ve created this page where you can either provide the company with feedback (intended for developers who have technical issues to report) or ask them a question. Naturally, not all questions can be answered, but they’re going to put forth . . . READ ON »
