Samsung/XDA part2

I haven't forgot about you guys. Today we had a meeting with XDA owners via telephone. Were just getting everything ready before we make a huge announcement. I told you guys I'm NOT going to let you guys down. Just be a little patient.
Thanks

what's a "TELLY FON"???
hope this is what i think it is. would like to buy a sammy phone again but its gonna take something good at this point

Would rather hear about a froyo source release for our phone than a official froyo release to be honest. Our devs do way better work with source than what samsung would release as official froyo. Look at the amazing work that noobl has done without source for froyo and we have an awesome dev that even has released work of an miui port (which I am most excited for coming from an htc incredible with a fully working port).

lol maybe not greener, but at least slightly more mature
Regardless of the announcement I'm just glad to see there's some communication going on.

I don't even like frozen yogurt

Hopefully it'll have Touchwiz 4.0 like the Galaxy S II. If not, I'll just stick with Launcher Pro .

Thanks for the update!!

Samsung John, thank you so much for making a connection with the people at XDA and being less transparent with the end user. However even if you are coming out with an announcement, could we have at least an eta. After a while of hearing nothing but coming soon, something along the lines of coming in a month, 6 weeks, 2 weeks, whatever would be much appreciated with any announcement. I am not even talking about froyo, I am talking about anything in general. But again thank you for coming and creating this channel with XDA.

Good Luck! I heard some developers ported ICS on the Evo Shift 4g, but could barely surpass the lock screen. Fully functioning ICS on Evo 4g -- I cannot wait any longer!

I would gladly be a tester, if needed.
Good luck!

Farewell....

I want to say many many thanks to the members and devs here in the x8 forums, thanks for making my tiny X8 more powerful and awesome to use...
but im sad to say im leaving you all behind now as ive upgraded my phone to the Galaxy S2.. and ive just flashed the official ICS and all i can say is that its sooooo worth it.
For people in the UK i strongly recommend going for the £30 a month contract on 3uk, u get the phone free and i get all u can eat data and enough txts n minutes to last me...
Ive still got my X8 so ill be popping in and out to have a play but now my new home is over at Galaxy S2 HQ.
Extra Big thanks to Paul-xxx doixhan, racht, nAa, alfs and the other people who have put in hard work for us seeking a better life for our phones.... MUCH LOVE . PEACE

Good bye....
Sent from my W8 using xda premium

So, you still got an X8, you can try something new for it in here

Something important to say

Hello all X8 users, I have something to say to you.
I have been on the X8 section and testing rom when Ratch and Doixanh almost was the only devs, and we was happy about the "Sense" roms with just basic functionality.
But in August 2011 weve got roms wirh working camera and everything.
But now everything is changed, we have more less developers which is quite sad, because more users are buting new phones right now.
Some of the best devs like Doixanh has left us, bu there is still hope from devs like nAa.
But now its time for me to leave you, and buy Arc S In about 20-25 days.
I will always remember all the fun I had with my X8 and all the great roms and modules.
I think Its quite sad to leave you, but the X8 has just to bad size of the ram for me.
But overall X8 is quite a nice phone, and I think it has the best speaker ever. My buddy has Sensation XL and he thinks X8 has better sound then hes XE.
I like the screen too, really good resolution, but I hate that I have Synaptic.
But how many of you are left, and when are you gonna buy something new?

Well...i'll see u in arc section later and i hope u will develop for arc s as well with ICS coming in 1-2 weeks more
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium

I never joined the forum but i used to visit it since march.That was the time we had floyo from racht and minicm form nAa and ponovon with pretty much eveything working.
that was pretty hard time.Now the development is quite stable.we have paul and nAa left(Ill be dev someday,when ill grow up )
I will remain in this forum till october...

I'll be on the x8 forums til October or December, unsure where I'll go.
Sent from my E15i using XDA

It is a sad day where a dev like you are leaving XDA X8 section, but your contributions were of high value and hopefully you will keep visiting us.

well all i can say is thanks for everything you have done
but i will stay here as long as my x8 is working. then probably buy Xperia S, P, U or sola...

Bro dont go...read my PM

Good Luck !
The most pathetic thing for me in this community is, when there are people who will be leaving this community, especially people like you.
But I must accept it, And Good Luck, Oyeah! dont forget to visit us here when you have a free time Dude!
But how many of you are left, and when are you gonna buy something new?

There is nothing I need to buy for now,
I Love My X8 & Htc evo 4G

Good luck out there! So, you stopped ICS development?
Sent From My W8 Using XDA Premium

I will buy something other, when my xperia will be broken... for now o have it like for 1,5 yrs and its still OK so much people say that touchscreens are bad because they are broken really quickly. But not for me every phone in my life i had like for 6 months - to a 1 year and it was broken. Now i have my lovely x8 for 1,5 yrs, and i dont see any sign that it will be broken in near time so i will not buy any other phone untill my x8 is working
Sent from my X8i using XDA Premium App

as long my x8 working..i will use it..

I am not gonna buy another phone as long as I don't afford the money so I will continue with x8 until it will break to pieces.... I can't say that I am not satisfied with it, I would say that I have enjoy myself a loooooooooooot!!!
Actually I love it!!!
Sent from my X8 using xda premium

I'm on a 2 year contract I will get upgrade in January 2013 but even then I will keep my x8 as a my son would like it for game's. And in all fairness the Dev's here did much better job then se at giving us all updates way past se would give us.

You are the choosen one! Keep up the good work brother!!

x8 is a great device started by running android 1.6(donut) and it's still working with android 2.3(gingerbread) maybe fully function with v4(ICS) in next few months. What's a great device! But it was built for v1.6(cpu 600mhz but dev make it be able to overclock to more than 700mhz, ram 256 but 184 accessible) so i have to say that newer device can run smoother as they were built for newer version. Anw X8 is my first android phone and it's a great device to me!

Farewell from me.

Well after playing with the galaxy note i bought for my gf a few days ago, i decided i couldn't take it any longer so i went to phones 4 u and asked what they could do for me. They have paid what i had left on my contract 7 months early for me and given me a galaxy s2 for free on a £20.50 p/m orange contract.
Not a bad deal i don't think.
I'll still pop in every now and then though as i still have a wildfire at home and dont want to get rid of my introduction to android, thanks to everyone that has shared anything i used and for teaching me how to get the best out of my phone.

Mate, that was quick lol. The itch took over quicker than i expected. Sg2 is prob my realistic expectation too and for about the same £pm but on 3. Keep in touch mucca and all the best with the new toy. Its gonna be like losing an arm

I was just about to post another thread but oh well
Yesterday I received my HTC One S on contracts, 25.92 p/m for 12 months, 260 or something upfront.D) I've always loved Willy, he is the best legend to date and I don't think I can sell him
Being with Willy has been a rollercoaster, I learnt about rooting through it, my first two roots were with two Wildfires. I couldn't take Sense anymore, so I got CM7, and then eventually we got CM9!! (Well done to Erwin, if I can find his donation link I will most definitely donate)
I'll still hang around on the CM9 thread and a few others, though now I'll mostly post on the One S forums, hope to see you guys there

cya

Congrats! See ya around on the S2 section!

Bye scratch and thanks to all your work.
We'll all definitely miss you here
*SNIFF*
Here goes another valuable member from the wildfire forum.
BTW maybe you'll see me soon in the SGS2 forum.
If not then I'll go for a galaxy note (I like big screens )

Thanks everyone and Congrats on the one s mate, hope you enjoy it as much as i am the s2. I thought id wait a little while before rooting but ended up rooting it today, its a bit confusing reading all the info but i ended up doing it in 3 and a half minutes without even touching my pc........
First flashed temp cwm from stock recovery, then flashed supersu to get root, after that boot into recovery and flashed siyah kernel. Full cwm, root and plenty of tweaks to play with. Just need to decide on a Rom now.
Oh...... The note is a real beast of a phone, hope you have big hands our lass doesn't.

Thanks everyone and scratch, I haven't managed to root mine yet - we don't have Revolutionary yet, and I'm scared if I root it using HTCDev they won't take my phone in for service if I ever need it. And there aren't many ROMs, most are Sense 4.0 based, except for the Alpha 10 CM9 port!

Gl with your new phone, i ditched one s because they are not shipping it with krait here and are using piece of crap s3 instead.
Really crappy move from htc.
Now i dont know which one to get, plastic fantastic samsung is not for me, all others either, so that only leaves me with htc. They ruined a perfect phone.
