To everyone in general, but specifically to all Devs, Admins, Mods & Contributors...
Since the year is coming to a close soon, I thought it'd be nice to say, "Thanks" to everyone involved here. And when I say everyone, I mean across all devices and threads here on xda. I've learned more than I could ever have imagined in the 3.5 months I've been here. You have all been so helpful and understanding to not only me, but others in need of proper help, toast to you all!
I would also like to thank all those before us that put so much effort into deving and these forums. Without them, this wouldn't be as far along as it is current day and I definitely raise a huge turkey leg to them, never forget how you got somewhere...
Special thanks goes out to...
Conap - Most people need to understand... this guy has kept our eris community afloat with his tenacious abilities to fix issues with Froyo working on the eris, Many, MANY thanks to you sir! You've helped me understand this whole process and have been most patient and insightful, you didn't have to do any of that, that's why I appreciate it and would like to say thanks personally! Conap for Pres! lol
tazzpatriot - for being tazz, and helping me learn the basics of rom editing, many many thanks to you too, bro we ALL hope you get better soon!
Captainkrtek - for being a great mod and always helping others, including me. Thank you my friend.
There are too many more to name all, but those few have helped me out the most in my quest to dev roms... I thank you.
I posted this in here in hopes mostly eris dev's would see it, I hope it can stay through thanksgiving day at least.
Let's hear from some thankful xda members ...

I guess if showing appreciation to other dev's, being a dev myself, is being "gay" ... then I'm a flamin' Homo!
I'll even give you a great big gay man hug, c'mon here boy! lol
You all have truly made having my Eris a more enjoyable and less hated experience. Thank you devs and Happy Turkey Day!

Thanks too Kaos and all the other devs. Without out u I would be stuck with stock 2.1
Sent from my FroyoEris using XDA App
I would like to add my thanks to all the devs and wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving!
I really appreciate all you do. I just had to get a replacement Eris so I unrooted and went back to stock for a day in prep for sending it back. The difference between stock and what you guys do is like night and day.
I'm a dev, but not Android (yet). Hope to join your ranks soon and contribute too.
Cheers, lads. Thanks to you, I'll almost be sad to see my Eris go if/when it does.
Thanks to all the eris devs. You made the time I had my eris much more enjoyable. And I must say, no one pumps out roms like eris devs. The d2 only has like 2 good roms. Keep the eris alive!!!
Sent from my Motorola Droid 2 with Fission 2.1
Thanks too all who have made my Eris livable again. Don't know how I ever suffered through stock 2.1, much less 1.5. Keep up the amazing work and, when the time comes, hope too see you on the other side.
Sent from my FroyoEris using XDA App
There is no way this phone would still be as useful as it is without these ROMS.
It amuses me to no end when some one comes up to me at work with their Droid X and are asking where a setting is and I pick up my dinky little Eris and start exploring the 2.2 menus. I almost immediately get asked how I did that.
To which I reply "By rooting my phone and loading a custom ROM".
The follow up is frequently. "Can you do it to mine ? To which I chuckle and say "Nope, better not. You can easily find out how, but your on your own."
PRICELESS !!! So hats off guys, for making my phone last through so much more of my contract.
Thank you very much This just made my evening, happy thanksgiving to you all and hope you all have a good time with your families!
The following is crossposted from the midNIGHT ROM threads.
I'm not sure if Rob posted anywhere here yet, but as per his Twitter feed, he's having to make some sacrifices as a parent and is selling his Epic and extras on eBay. Unfortunately, this also means that he will no longer be developing for right now.
On behalf of myself, all of ACS, and the userbase at large, I'd like to thank Rob (ptfdmedic) for everything he's contributed to the Epic community, and all of the time and effort he's put in, in his already busy schedule and hectic life. Our very best wishes are with he and his family.
I and ACS fully support Rob's mission to spread autism awareness. I would like to encourage everyone who has not yet added an awareness banner to your signature to do so now, whether Rob's version, or the version in my signature, by ZHkilla.
But don't just toss up a banner and call it a day - if Rob has taught us anything, it's that autism is a disease that we the public really must understand better. Read the Wikipedia article, read Rob's blog, and keep in mind the challenges that parents of autistic children, and autistic individuals themselves face. Understand that those on the spectrum are people first and foremost, and that while they may be a little different, they deserve all the respect that any decent human beings deserve.
Once again, thank you Rob, for your generous donation of time and effort to making our phones run better, making this community more harmonious, and raising autism awareness. I didn't mean to steal your thunder if you were planning on making an announcement here as well as Twitter... but I wanted to say a few words anyway.
+1000...Thank you!
Thank's Rob.
Rob, thank you for everything you have done here for all of us and for always doing it with class and a huge heart. All the best to you and your family.
I read your blog a while back on The Man with Bare Hands and it really touched me. I never got around to posting a banner but will do so when I get home tonight. Best wishes.
Man that really sucks. I don't post here often but I check in on xda every time I have a free minute. You guys are all great at developing but ptfmedic has always stood out to me not just because of his roms but because he always seems to be very helpful and very patient with the questions around here. Genuinely seems like a great guy. I have also followed his blog on many occasions and yes a lot of it is vey touching. If he has to go I'm sure he will be missed by many.
My question is (without knowing any details about his situation) Is there enough members in the Epic forums to make a one time say $5 or $10 donation to a save ptfmedics Epic fund. Seems like he goes through a lot on a daily basis and that phone could be his only outlet. I hope I am not out of line even suggesting this but I hate to see such a valued member of this community have to leave.

+1 on that one I have the Midnight Rom on my phone. I respect his decision. Is he broke or does he have to spend more time taking care of his family or both?
Thank YOU ROB!!! Will miss your work! Wish you and your family good luck! Stay strong!
Rob, dude. Thanks for everything! I have been running your ROM every since release. You are very talented bro and hope to see you in my next phone venture when things get better.
Wanted to add my thanks. Much respect Rob.

Rob,
Thank you for everything you've done for my phone and things you have taught me about life while reading your blog. I wish you and your family all the best.
THANK YOU
Thanks, k0nane
I also started the same type of thread over at ppcgeeks as well.
If k0nane still needs a phone maybe everyone could donate to a "buy Rob's phone for him" fund and kill two birds with one stone.

I've been going through the roundabout process of getting a new one for quite some time now. I should have one within the next week. Up until about 4/5 I'd had one since launch.

Read his blog. It will give you a huge insight into his life and the daily battles he goes through. I've been lucky enough to be on his beta test team since version 2.6. In that time I got to know him as a person and not just as a member of the forums and rom chef, and for that I feel like I've been very lucky.
Thank you Rob.
Rob... your a really inspiring guy, you like too please everyone and use your free time to do this for us when you already do so much for your family... I never knew much about autism untill you opened my eyes and when I read your blog I see how much stress you go through and your about the nicest guy I've talked to... hope to see you around when you can get a new phone, thanks for all the work you've done for this community (this post probably doesn't have that great grammar, sorry)

Dear Evo Developers, testers, flamers, themers, modders, and more...
Its time to say goodbye for now. Everyone of you have been so awesome.
Virus, for all the stupid questions I've had, not one time did you belittle me. Thank you.
Chubbz, you've become a good friend as we've joined the dev ranks together. Thank you.
xHausx and TMartin, you guys did some amazing stuff and the Ace Sense 2.1 port got my renewed faith in Sense 2.1. Thank you.
Myn, your talents are what brought me to xda in the beginning. After rooting the EVO, warm twopointtwo RL4 got it all started. While I thanked you a ton, my wife may be pissed for the countless hours I've invested learning from you.
Stiffspliff. Your Miui port got me back in the Ubuntu world and learned how to use kitchen to cook my first ROM. Thanks bro for taking time with the noob I was.
Team Xron, I'm honored and exited to be part of this team and look forward to what's in the chapters ahead.
Trollers.. nInn nnIn. (That would be the birds just for you guys) who have no freaking idea how to constructively help but be a little mamas boy and complain about every post in the wrong section. May your memberships get revoked...
GodZson, your design talents are awesome bro. Thanks for all you do and will do.
Vin, Sin, eVoKINGS, captain, Capychimp, seo, snq-, MikG, MisFit, Tiffany84, Valpak, tommytomato, Clark, solver, and so many more. Your Passion for the development, themeing, modding, testing, and helping have been undescribable. You turn noobs in to devs by helping and I can honestly say that the EVO community will forever be changed because of all of you. There have been friendships made, triumphs won, and what some (Htc) said could never be done were proved completely wrong. Thank you.
As for all you flashaholics. Meetings are still held daily here in the evo threads and now EVO 3d threads for monitored flashing and group therapy. lol, you all are awesome. We complain, get happy, mad, sad all because of the evo and the devs. Continue strong because YOU are why the evo is the best damn phone on the market. Thank you.
Moderators. Hats off to you guys for monitoring all these threads. Damn, some are like Judge Judy lol and its great to be thrown back on track after we drift from the topic at hand. Thanks.
I know there's more but hell, its 1:20am, cut me some slack..
I am trading this evo in in 6 hours and 42 minutes for the evo 3d. Of course, you will see me time to time, helping little or lots here... But I've been called to another place...
Thank you all, good night, and peace out...

Thanks for everything bro. Youre sensation port got the ball rolling for me to get that original kingdom rom zombified into something I could work with and eventually led me to the many projects I've been working on lately and look forward to hopefully following in your footsteps and picking one up myself in the near future. May god bless you on the path to a very bright evo 3d hacking future.

My sentiments exactly and agree 100% with everything in your post. See you in the 3D Forums.
I just cant do it. Im in love with my evo people. If enough of my friends switch to the 3d...i will do so as well. But when you mod and flash as much as me, the phone is only as good as the community. In my opinion (with the exception of a couple of douches), evo has the best friends, devs, and moderators out of any of the 5 android devices ive owned. With that being said...i sold my old launch evo, and used my upgrades for 2 new evos. Ill be around for a while.
Sent from the bowels of my mind....
Yeah Leo thanks for the contribution to this forum....really thanks to all the devs.....I think its now my time to step up and put my foot in the door with a new device....I'm very reluctant that things will go our way with the e3d.....see ya over there bro....1hr 10mins LOL

First off you posted in the wrong secion . Thank bro for everything hope to see you soon in the 3D forum by the time I get there you better have something for me.

Sad to see a great dev go. Hope you enjoy the 3D. Hope its all that its cracked up to being. I will wait too see what else Sprint can come up with. The 3D just doesn't seem like the phone for me. Or worth all the rage. EVO 4 evah!

It feels like graduation day all over again- from middle school. See you after summer in the forum down the street. Hold on, hold on- we live next door to each other... see you in a few minutes man.
Thanks for all the help Leo, and a most appropriate thread for official launch day.
So I made the switch from the DInc to the Sensation... The Phone arrived today ( Took advantage of the FREE deal they had going on last week)
Blazing Fast phone, with alot of potential...
Can't wait to see what devs make this phone do.
Just wanted to thank all the Devs on this forum, All the Trolls for providing laughs here and there, and to everyone else for giving so many inputs on posts... ( i read like 40 pages of posts before i decided to try any ROM that was made for the INC)
It was a wonderful year with this phone, but it is time to move on.
Good luck to you all! and Thanks for providing me with more knowledge on Rooting, Modding, and troubleshooting.
Goodbye.
ehh, you'll be back.

Some of you know me from back in the day. I had a short switch to the galaxy S 4G. Great phone, but not the same development as the vibrant. My new city doesn't have 4G and I've never used the FFC.
Oka1 (Casey) is a tremendous guy... Top notch, and is sending me a vibrant.
So, happy to report I'll be spending a lot more time here again.
What's the latest craze? I assume the amazing ICS port I'm hearing about.
Any other guides needed or updates to mine? Let me know if I can try to help.
Welcome back! This forum needs ya...... .I however am now on the mt4g and yea I miss the vib. But in two months ill be moving up to the sgs2
Wait did oka1 have a extra vibrant or something or did he give his to yours...

Glad to have you back s15, and no, I haven't grown up or stopped trolling

Hey, welcome back to the dark side, friend.

Welcome back! You should definitely install ICS as soon as you get your Vibrant! You heard right! It is amazing!
Welcome Back! Your guides have been a great help in sorting out issues. There is a lot of activity on ICS related ROMs & themes. Come and enjoy the fun.
You've probably already seen it, but the ICS Passion ROM is pretty legit.

For your first project / task / help Ive got a biggie for you:
get a hold of Cmenard
Ask him the secret to getting gps working on GB. Or update Bullet!!
Glad to have you back buddy!
Got kind of sad when you said you may be leaving XDA completely, then you rebounded with not only deciding to stay here at XDA, but returning to the Vibrant forum again!
Me and many other older members of this forum will be ecstatic to hear this news. You rock

Agreed Casey is definitely a big help outside of the XDA world, hell even outside of the android world.
Welcome back Callip, Ive been running Neobuddy's Rom with Eugenes ICS kernel, i highly recommend it that said, it seems like development has resurged and some awesome things are happening.
I'd just like to say Hi-------------Hi
Seems that you left right when I was coming in so we only crossed paths here and there. Just so you know, I am always linking your Noob Guide to help people root and install CWR on their phones. It has proven a valuable resource for me and others.
If you ever need anything from me, just ask or PM. I am usually on during the days (with just browsing at night) and most weekends.

It is hysterical to me that it was over a year ago when I started the #NeverAgain campaign for Froyo... and now the Vibrant, of all devices, has one of the more solid ICS builds. THAT is irony.
