This is my first post here, but I've been lurking pretty regularly for about a week now. I was actually shown these forums by some folks over in the Penny Arcade forums Android thread.
I just want to drop a quick line and say thanks to everyone over here; The developers, the people who answer questions, thanks to the mods who keep the place going. Thanks to you guys I was able to go from being a relative Android noob to having a completely rooted, custom ROM flashed, and extremely sexy Epic.
Sometimes people only post when they have an issue, or when something goes wrong, and I wanted to buck the trend a little and post just to say thank you. As the thread title says, thanks to XDA, I'm in love with my phone
(For those curious, the technical stuff:
Samsung Epic 4G
Nebula ROM 1.0.6 w/ EXT4 (Froyo/DK28)
ADW Launcher
Quadrant is scoring around a ~1450, which is 400 points more than any RFS setup I tried...go go EXT4).
Yeah xda is a great place and we should all be thankful for the developers on here. They sure as hell don't do this to make money. If it wasn't for them we wouldn't have these great features we have now. We would also be stuck on 2.1

So happy as well!
I would also like to chime in and thank the XDA community as well. After months of debating whether or not I should update to DK28 Froyo, I decided to take the plunge yesterday. After you have all the software downloaded, phone hooked up to your computer, and Odin ready to flash for you... everything makes sense.
I can kinda see why Samsung/Sprint is taking too long to have the update come out. To update everything including all of your apps, settings, contacts, and saved messages all for Ma and Pa Epic 4G user without calling Sprint and complaining why something got deleted... I can see why. Re-configuring my contacts was a pain in my ass last night! My GPS didn't work, so I also had to do the GPS trick by entering in ##74 whatever and entering in my MSL, but it worked!
However, after all is said and done... THIS PHONE ROCKS!!! It's faster, the new music player is BADASS, everything WORKS, and I'm very happy. Thanks, XDA!
Ditto,
This has been a source of bountious information.
Couldn't have said it better myself <3
Epic is as Epic does
Same as OP. Thanks XDA for really putting in the time and effort to bring the community such awesome work. Like the OP I am running Nebula 1.0.6 with ETX4 and ADW Launcher.
hey guys long time lurker and first time poster, want to chime in that i also appreciate all the epic lovin from the devs, only bricked one phone so far but that was my own dumb fault.... skipped a step and flashed the wrong thing first earlie in the ext4 roll out...
Thanks again
Glad to see so many others have had the same experience as me

Agree.
I've lurked on XDA for a long time, didn't end up joining until sometime last year just so I could download some wallpaper or something.
Well I had no issues with my Epic anyway, but gave in to temptation and loaded the DK28 leak 2-3 days after it surfaced... kind of liked it but it was a little buggy on mine. I eventually went full tilt and loaded Bonsai at 1.1.2, had a blast with it getting the best of 2.2 without a lot of the bugs of DK28.
A week or so ago I switched to TrulyEpic, and holy cow, I love my phone so much now. It may not have the impressive bench #s of Bonsai (close), but man is it ever stable. It's like a rock, that thing is the best thing to ever happen to my phone, and I am so glad XDA and it's members are here to provide stuff like this for us. Apart from official froyo, I'm good for the long run now and getting way more enjoyment out of my phone than I thought I could.
It's nice to hear some positive posts on the Epic 4G forums
Anyways, it's nice to see someone that's happy with the ROMs we are quite fortunate to have here. Leaks of any kind are a privilege, not a right, and I wish more people would be grateful.

Omg @Rockstar thats funny, I was just about to type that **** down but you beat me to the punch. There has been so much negativity in this forum, that alot of times I think we forget how good we actually have it. Alot of us then revert to taking everyone on here for granted. Sure were not the biggest forum, we dont have the most Roms, but the devs we do have are dedicated and do a wonderful job. We should all be gracious whether they ask for donations or not, because regardless they are all making XDA a better place, and making smartphones in general fun for all of us for years past, and years to come!
+1 for this post.
Recently I flashed back to di18. I wasn't having any luck with the froyo rims. Gps didn't work, slow auto rotate, and lags and hangs hit me with no matter what rom I flashed. Now that the devs have rolled ext4 conversion and rooting into flashing clockwork I loaded midnight and my phone is amazing. No hangs,gps locks within seconds, the.fix for auto rotate... I can honestly say screw the official update. I for one don't need it anymore. Thank you xda

Hey out there,
just want to tell you that i will sell my X10 now and won't work on it anymore.
I thought it's fair to say goodbye to X10 Forums, since i spent so much time here in the last year
I will miss some aspects of this X10-Forums on XDA and want to say thanks to all new friends and good developers here! (Won't list any here, i think the people meant will know that i meant them )
Because i just can afford 1 phone at a time i have to sell my X10 to get a new one. My actual plan is to get a DHD (or similar) and switch to Pyramid when it's released in Germany. (If anyone wants my device give me a PM *joking* )
I hope that i will meet some of you again here on Forums!
So now it's offical and final!
GOODBYE !
Best Regards
Bin4ry
Thanks for all you have done. Wont be the same without you though
Have fun buddy.

thanks Bin4ry for all the work u put in... ur efforts have taken the dumb stock SE x10 to an actual smart phone which we can can tinker with...
best of luck hacking ur new device
btw u will still be on XDA right?
keep in touch
Well, you've left with a big present you gave to us, that's for sure
It's a pitty that you're leaving right after you made it able to flash your own kernel and it's definitely a drawback on any further progresses to it. But I think anyone can understand you nonetheless.
Any chance you'll still be helping the dev team with anything that doesn't need an actual X10 in your pocket?
Cheers and goodbye to you!

Thanks Bin4ry for all you have done for X10 community. I remember the day you guys did root this phone and made us happy and that will stay with us. Will see you again later somewhere else. Good LUCK.
Thank you Bin4ry!! Good luck! It is sad to see you go.
Adios friend, you will be missed!
This is sad.....i wish you werent leaving man. Good luck on your new adventure and thank you so much for everything you have done for the X10 community. Wont be the same without you.
Cheers!

Hi bin4ry, mate,
+1 on your DHD plan.
I did that switch a little longer ago.
Best idea I ever had.
Mine is already running Android 2.3.3. Or 2.2.1 @a max of 1.8Ghz if I like to.
Battery lasts for three days or a linpack score of >60 and quadrant of >3000 speak for themselfs
Feel free to contact me if there are any questions. I'd really like to see you over there.

thanks for all your help and skills Bin4ry - i dont think anyone can blame you for ditching the X10, as much as we all love it, its a bit of a lost cause hey.

Bye man it was good having you here and good luck with your new phone!
I just want to say thank you so much for all that you give
Take care

Hey buddy,
I moved onto the DHD earlier last year and guess what...
I missed my x10 so much that i got another one and got rid of the DHD, so im back here again lol...
I wish you all the best pal and hope that you achieve the best possible in your studies!!!
And dont forget to pop around time to time and you never know the BL may get broken one day and we could use your brains...
Thanks again and auf wiedersehen Andreas
thx for all you've done

Hate to see you leave. Thanks for all you have done and contributed to the community. Wish you all the best with studies and everything.

Yes, I know most of you don't care about me leaving. But I thought I would stop by and say goodbye to you all anyway.
I'm sorry that I won't be finishing my black
And yellow theme. Just couldn't deal with broken glass on my vibrant.
If anyone wants to take over my project, let me know ill send u the framework that I've been working on. Still needs lots of editing though.
This means there will be no supoort/update for honeycomb and lucid theme I ported.
Good luck to you all and don't brick your phone
Peace out!

YOU KNOW WHAT? YOUR LAME FOR LEAVING THE VIBRANT!!! YOU'LL COME BACK!
haha
joking.
Well, in every phone-man relationship comes a point where you start not liking your phone and its time to move on, and i respect that.
Good Luck to whichever phone your going to and hope you develop more more themes for them.
P.S. loved lucid port.
Thanks for all your hard work here for the Vibrant. The themes that you ported were really great and the theme you made was amazing. Have fun with your G2 and hope you enjoy it. See you around man.
Have a good one! Thanks for the work you done for us here on the vibrant...hope you enjoy your new phone

I for one greatly appreciate your contribution to the vibrant community especially in the way of themes.

Hey everyone.
Well sadly, and happily the time has come for me to move on to another device. The epic, while having great potential just did not hit the mark. While many of you may disagree, etc, the truth is simple; The Epic4G had much more potential than Samsung/Sprint allowed it to have.
So now I say my farewell to the Epic dev community. I will still be around, and if you need to contact me you can do so via PM, or find me in IRC @ irc.freenode.net #G2x
As some of you know, I recently decided to switch carriers to T-Mobile, and I am getting a G2x. My new device arrives tomorrow, and I am quite excited to begin dev'ing on a new phone, with a lot more power.
Good luck to everyone, and I hope to see you on the other side
We're going to miss you. Thanks for all you've done.
Thanks Dameon you did SO much for this community

Have fun with the new device.
I've read reviews on it, and it looks to be plagued with battery life issues and random reboots on stock. So I'm sure you'll make that community very happy with fixes.
Talk about a traitor!
I'm jking dude. I'm sure there was a logical reason behind you switching to tmo, even though you will be an AT&T customer with their outrageous prices.
Just saying.
Take care

Easy fix for that... resurrect your continuum and come back to the fold.
So get this. This chick I know had a DX2 and the screen wouldn't work right for her. I saw on facebook she was selling it so I asked how much and she said $20. I think maybe I can get it working and for 20 bucks, why not. I buy it from her a couple hours ago, plug my charger in and it works just fine. So I got a DX2 for $20 and I'm sorry to say it but I might not be around here as much. But thank you so much everybody for all you have done for the Continuum. When I first got it I was a little disappointed but after all the hard work from everybody it made the Continuum awesome.

One day I was on the verge of smashing my continuum after failed verizon and samsung support for this device. Tired of the same old crap I scoured the internet far and wide looking for ways to improve my experience before giving up. Then a friend referred me to this forum, and I must say that I no longer have the urge to flush my phone like the piece of crap it once was! I have been silently scoping the forum daily until today when I decided that the very least I can do is register to give thanks to the many such as yourself who have invested time into making this device what it is today. Thank you for making me not want to break my phone
