Thank You To All Who take the Time!

I want to post this because it seems that we all can go a little negative at times.
Let's all take the time to Thank the AWSOME Devs and Contributors we have in this forum and on XDA.Remember they do it for the fun,they do it because a part of a man"s brain that likes to see what makes something tick and some just like to see(metaphorically speaking) someone smile because they fixed or made they're phone better.
I'm am not going to try to name any or all of the great people we have. I'm in my early fifties and have what is commonly know as CRS disease(Can't Remember S*#t) disease and alas I would forget someone I know I'm thankful too.So remember Thank Early and Thank those that help even the ones that make a suggestion. Cuz remember he/she could be the next Dev that finds root,builds a great Rom,or creates a nice looking theme, hack.
Just thought I'd throw that out there because as a earlier thread said "there is a little too much negativity"
THANK YOU TO ALL Who have Helped me All the Devs that are a part of this XDA Community you have made this journey down the Android road FUN! and a LEARNING experience!

I would like to thank all the DEVS as well. You guys don't get enough credit for the time and effort that you put in. We (the community) do like all you do. THANK YOU!

Fdx, thank you very much for making this thread. You are right, instead of bashing people that are not appreciative, lets have a thread that shows appreciation. These devs do an excellent job, and I appreciate everything that they do. Hell, I've been running ss since 2.3.3 got root, and have loved every minute of it. All of the work that strapped365 has put into this rom, all of the time that he has sacrificed for the good of the shift, and everyone else that contributes their time and effort to our phone, making it more then what it was, I appreciate it and am very grateful.
Thanks again Fdx for making this thread, and hopefully everyone that appreciates our developers will stop on in and just give a quick thanks.

Here here...my thanks to the dedicated developers and the entire XDA community...innovation generates evolution, not negativity.

Yes, thank you to everyone that makes the Shift awesome! Thank you to all our devs who spend their own free time pushing our phones to the limit just for the challenge. Thank you to all our users who help other users just out of goodwill.

Thank you, Devs. I appreciate everything y'all do. Cheers!

For you developers

Yes, another thank you thread. This is the one topic that justifies more than one thread. I recently pm'd a developer a lengthy compliment and received an interesting response.
As I read through the development forum I see too many posts asking for eta or complaints of bugs and *****ing about this and that. There is simply not enough thanking these guys for what they do FOR FREE!!!! we take for granted how much time and effort they put into their work and simply want want want and expect them to deliver like it's their dang job or something.
Instead of continuing to ramble, developers thank you for your time, free products, free labor, free mods, and I wish I had the power to banish those who ***** at you or put demands on you.
Guys, respect what our developers do and next time you think about asking about an eta or think about complaining, just say thanks.

Could not agree more. Thanks guys! (that includes gals in my book).
As a developer myself, although not in this arena, I know how much work it is, even though we would probably do it anyway just because we're wired that way!

I know the developer I spoke with was very appreciative of the message and stated that he wished there was more appreciation around. I just can't believe the audacity some people have to fuss at a developer or complain to them over trivial things. Obviously they should offer support but that is not what I am referring to.
And your reply reminded me that I did leave out the ladies! Thank you too lady devs! You're all the more sexy
From the big ole Note

There are always some aholes around. XDA is pretty big so by the simple probability there are bound to be few jerks around. You can ignore those people most of the times.
What I dont like that sometimes other members make too big a deal out of simple complaint in the developer section. Lot of people just flame someone because he asked something that has been asked 20 pages ago in thread or complained about something. Those are equally bad.
And then there are few developers themselves who are sometimes very rude to people who are just trying to help by pointing out some things or passing some suggestions to the developers. I wont take names but one developer simply told me that I dont need to give him any advice and I should stop using his work if I dont like the way he does it when I simply suggested something regarding the way he was managing files, that too via PM.
Its all part of the community though.

I agree respect definitely goes both ways. I also never have and never will agree with anyone flaming someone for asking a noob question even if it's been asked a million times. We were all noobs once and Lord knows search is a pain sometimes. And what does flaming a new kid accomplish anyway? Nothing.
Yes I've seen developers have bad attitudes also so you are right it does go both ways. I just hope that this place can begin to become more family and community like and less flame friendly although it's hard as it grows and the members get younger with no manners or respect.
I came from and still occasionally visit the evo 3d forum and it is way worse than this one as far as childish flaming and trolling.
From the big ole Note

Couldn´t agree more, thanks for the thread!
XDA Developers is so much fun! It so much became a hobby of mine, to read through the threads, to try out this and that, to flash roms on new devices (tablets, smartphones).
It was such a great experience to see my old XDA compact (HTC magician) getting reborn again every quartal after cotulla published a new rom for it.
Nearly 383984 devices later (feels like that^^) I´m on my second Note now. And it´s still so much fun to be here and to enjoy the work others are doing for free!
To all developers out there: Thank you so much for giving me that kind of entertainment AND professional support in the same time! Thank you for being allowed to be a part of this incredible community (and with community i refer to the hundreds of devs here, not the millions of users like me ). Thanks for your efforts and time!

If I was a millionaire I would definitely be donating to all of you whether I used your products or not.
And as a side note I wish there was more sharing and helping among some people. Some are too proud, I've seen some in other forums set others up and other dirty stuff which is ridiculous. Pride comes before the fall
From the big ole Note

Without the developers hard work, we all be stuck on using un-rootable slow often horrible looking stock UI from the manufactures with inconsistent update. I’d be better off using an iphone or a Nexus if that is the case.
Been able to run root apps and flash different ROM is what keeps me buying Android devices instead of an iphone.
Also it is great fun leaning how to root devices and flash ROMs.
So BIG thanks to all the developers on this forum for their valuable time and hard work.

thanks to everyone on xda

I wanted say thank you to everyone on xda. I was a apple fan before my atrix, the post on xda gave me all the knowledge and tools to unlock my atrix to its full proformance and made me a android fan.

I notice that this is your first post and I am wondering what you'd think about becoming a more active member of the boards and helping people along (as you have been !!)

I would like to help anyone I can. Im still learning myself but I would like to share what I have found. I will surf the boards and see what input I can give. "All hail android"

+ 1
love the devs and the whole
community around android and *atrix
you guys are awsone and we love you for all your contributions and time away from Your lifes to give to the community
its often overlooked how much time it takes to do build this stuff from roms to themes to root apps to guides /everything its really awsome and im so glad to be a part of it
Thankyou

Moving on and Thank you!

I realize that if everyone would open a thread like this it would overflow the forum but this has to be done
The DesireHD forum was my first XDA experience! Never in my life i was part of an internet community that I was so fond of. So many nice and helpful people, everyone helping each other and everyone working with passion and not motivated by greed. This is how the world should be
I'm just glad that i am/was part of the DHD XDA experience. You guys made my device 100x better than the way HTC released it. I didnt contribute all that much apart from some themes and hopefully helpful posts, so you guys gave me more than i had to offer in return and all that for free! That is something very rare in our materialistic world.
So before i drift off into philosophical and sociological thoughts about our society i just wanna say:
THANK YOU XDA DESIRE HD FORUM!!!
just bought myself some sexy blue SGS III and i really hope to see some of you guys there in the future

Unfortunately I have to close this. As your right the forum would overflow with these threads.
Thank you & I hope you enjoy your new handset.
BTW, you'll have to change your sig now

dr.ketan - thank you!

I started this thread out of respect, appreciation, admiration & concern for this guy.
I’ve owned N2 for several months. Back then I read many threads – how to root, backup EFS, other stuff you need to know for flashing our device. Next I moved on to mods, ROMs, tweaks. All the time I saw DrKetan threads everywhere – then slowly became aware of his high activity level. I don't need to go on about the his leaked ROM efforts do I?
I thought ‘doctor’ was a name he chose for fun. Because he was like a doctor for our N2. Then recently found out he IS a doctor. Holy sh** I thought - Yes lots of us have important jobs, demanding jobs, me included. But most of us DON’T contribute to N2 forum NEAR AS MUCH as he does.
So that’s why I made this thread. There is so much community appreciation for him, it’s evident in all his threads. In fact we love him so much that our own thanks dr.ketan! posts clutter up his development threads making it hard to find information :laugh:
Hoping we can
a) Somehow convey to him our appreciation, at a base and genuine level, for his work. All we can offer are words I guess, though I notice he has Donate button. Maybe we can buy him something useful, like a second N2 in case he bricks his??
b) Draw his attention to the fact he seems to sleep like 3 hours a night and THAT’S NOT HEALTHY, doctor! LOL he should know better
Umm if this thread is seen as lame and I get blasted for making it, so be it, but as a former newb: thanks drketan !!

Hey I appreciate the thanks fellas, but really hope to get your posts here.
--> Who has a dr.ketan story worth telling? Yes I know that 75% of us benefitted from his advice at some point, for example his Backup EFS thread prevented lots of us ending up with unusable phones but ... what about the time your child was lost in a snowstorm, the whole town was looking when suddenly dr.ketan knocked on your door with child in his arms??
Yes I know that's a silly joke but c'mon guys, we also like threads that aren't about mods or ROMs so ... let it rip - pay homage to the hardest working dude on this forum.

Heartfelt Thanks
He is very nice and very friendly.. He is always dedicated in his Profession as well as to Android development. He helped me, Guided me many times when i was using Note 1 and Now on Note 2. He is very passionate towards android . Unlike others he never ask for Hit thanks If i Helped . Respects and thanks come from our hearts. He is giving his valuable time for us. I wondered many times that how he can be this much passionate .. (Sorry for my bad English )
Heartfelt Thanks Ketan Bhai

I totally recognise and Appreciate what you have done for us Doctor..
We can never repay you but you will be remembered of fondly as a legend :thumbup:

Wait, joshphilips, that sounds like a speech you give at someone's funeral
Thanks for your words, mate.

dr.ketan is amazing man.....:good::good::good::good::good::good:
sorry for my bad english...

Guys you are awesome, And apart from i am running out of thanks today also I don't have words to thank you.
But
I feel this kind of thread is against XDA rule and before someone have to report I am doing it mysef right now.
Kindly don't consider this as insulting but we all are bound to follow rules
And again thank you very much for love you always showers on me.
Regards All.

Ketan, I didn't realise this kind of thread is against rules & it's appropriate I follow those rules. Whatever happens, happens. That xda video that all new members must watch ... I guess I missed something.
Was hoping, as more people became aware of the thread, we'd put our thoughts together how to convince you to get some proper sleep
Cheers

Even is against the xda rules ,
I want to thank you for all your effort and time you give to us .
you are a real men and a model.

Not against the rules per say... but if we had an appreciation thread for every good developer, the forums would be a huge mess (well, ok, messier than they currently are)
Closed :good:
