Hey Gnufabio,
I can't post in the proper forum yet. I'm pretty new to Android and rooting but
from what I've read, and learned, and done so far, I have to say that I'm totally amazed at some of the fantastic things you guys have done with this OS. I just installed your new Rom and revolver parts and I am in awe. F**king incredible.
Same with the other coders too BTW. Thanks for the hard work and effort you make.

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone that contributes to these boards and develops ROMS. The work that you all contribute were the deciding factor in my choosing to buy an Android phone. You offer a wealth of options, customization and optimization not seen on Windows[except for XDA contributions ], Apple or RIM.
Yeah I know nothing new is being contributed by this post but I still wanted to say thanks to every person thats made my experience with Android better. And now I am finally getting around to rooting my EVO

P.S. I wanted to post this to "Android Development and Hacking>Android Software and Hacking General" so I could thank everyone thats contributed but I didn't want it to be misconstrued as being mis-posted.
Very well put. I would second this as well. I was familiar with windows mobile, but somewhat lost with Android. Without you guys/girls doing what you do, the masses would be extremely lost. Again, thanks.
well put indeed im only learning but XDA has some very talented people here
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
Hello everyone! I wasn't sure where to put this... I wanted to put it under the android development section, but didn't want to clutter anything. So, I am pretty much a noob when it comes to all of these modifications to phones. I have pretty much been reading these forums non-stop for the past few days, and the amount of information on here is incredible. Last night I flashed the Axura 2.2.6 ROM to my phone with no problems! I was amazed at how easy it was! All of the applications people developed are so useful like ROM manager and Titanium backup. You could never get these kinds of tools and info from the manufacturer. I am truly in awe of the smarts and talent the people on this website have. So thank you so much, for taking the time to create and put tutorials together, so people like me, who don't understand all of the programming language and resources needed to make something like a custom ROM come together, be able to reap all of the benefits my phone has to offer.

P.S. I wanted to click the "Thanks" button on a lot of the threads, but it wasn't there?!
Glad to have you around and glad that the Forums helped you out. This is a tight group (most of the time) even if a lot of issues around Samsung currently going on.
Thanks for the welcome! I look forward to what comes out in the future for these phones... as far as controversey around Samsung... I was part of the group that was dealing with Motorola and the Motorola Cliq. I was able to get out of that mess and switched to the Vibrant, and I feel like I'm encountering it all over again. I know the manufacturers have no obligation to give us updates, but then don't promise it! And if it comes, it's kind of like a really nice surprise! When companies make promises like an upgrade by a certain date, and don't follow through, of course people are going to be pissed! But, with the help of developers, we can enjoy all the benefits the phones have to offer. And probably, the modifications made by developers are better than the manufacturers would do anyway!
Welcome
Tara, glad to have you here, as you already know these forums are a wealth of information regarding your phone. I also got to the vibrant from a bad experience with a phone. (the Samsung Behold II) Follow along, don't be afraid to ask questions when you have them, as someone will most always be there to help. You may even find like I did that you don't need to worry so much about the updates promised by TMO and Samsung. Most of the 2.2 ROMS we have available to us now are already beyond what the updates would give us anyway. So I would encourage you to read, read, read through the threads and to support the developers wether it be Team Whiskey, Master, Eugene, or whoever.
But most of all, welcome
Welcome, because of the people here you will so much more enjoyment from the phone. You are right the stock item is really substandard compared to the custom awesome work of the people in the android family and specifically this forum.
Keep reading, especially the stickys/bible and other notable instructions.
Enjoy and welcome
I have been lurking around<(creepy?lol) and reading the crap out of stickies here for about a month now, and I too would like to extend a token of grattitude to all of the extremely intelligent and helpful members here. Thanks for taking the time to explain procedures clearly and concisely. The custom roms and information you have provide truly make this device awesome.
-Brad
P.S. Sorry for jacking your thread Tara, but I didnt want to add another thanks to the general.
Thanks for all the friendly messages everyone! And that's ok Brad! All day I have been watching folders open on my phone, and just the way the flip out, out of nowhere, is so cool!!! I am just amazed at the work the developers have put into making these phones run so well. And, on top of that, sharing the wealth with all of us, and including step by step written tutorials and videos. They have my complete gratitude and I truly look forward to see what they think of next!
I have been lurking here for a couple of months now. Trying different roms initially then flashing different kernels. I don't know much about this stuff at all but want to learn. Hopefully I can start learning some coding soon as well. I love this forum and watching the ways in which all of these different mods, roms, etc grow within the community.
From the beginning I have taken the word (rules) of this forum at face value. I have followed (and agree with) READING THE WIKI's. To me they are indispensable. I have read (yes even the 500+) all of the posts that I am interested in learning about. This patience has paid off! Every time I follow your instructions and search threads for answers to possible issues, everything turns out right.
Finally, I came into this forum not wanting to ask for ETA's. There are so many people here putting there daily lives aside, FOR DONATIONS, for our gratification. To me there is nothing more insulting than asking for something you don't deserve. Be grateful. Think about someone asking you to put hard work (time) into something for you that you may or may not get paid for. Charity can only go so far.
Thanks to all of the devs who put there hours into this. LIFE=TIME....
You obviously don't owe us your time.
Hopefully I can start really learning the languages soon and hopefully start contributing to take some of the weight off you guys.
Great job guys!!!!

I know its a semi older thread but I just wanted to echo this same thought & didnt want to start another thread.
As with Mattlebla I've been lurkin for the past few months. With all the hard work and donation of TIME from all the Dev's & ppl whom help others have absolutely given way way more value to us Hero owners.
To all the awesome Dev's we are extremely grateful, thankful & indebted to your hard work. Thank you so damn much! That can't be said enough.

ALL THANKS to the freakin' great community at XDA!
Hello all... As a somewhat noob to flashing android roms and the such, I wanted to throw out a sincere thanks to all that have helped me and/or written guides on other topics.. I currently own an HTC HD2, now running Hyperdroid cm7 3.0 with the Elegance theme .. Just a week ago, I had what I thought was a bricked device after trying to flash a rom (I had bought it already android flashed)..but some folks were kind enough to answer my cry for help, point me in the right direction, and now, after scouring this site for a week, I have graduated from noob to medium grade android flasher! (lol) So I just wanted to send out a HUGE thank you to anyone who has helped me, helped others, written guides, tutorials, etc. or pointed any other noobs in the right direction...thanks very much again to everyone on this site, cause I've learned a lot and to be honest, this sh!t is fun!! I look forward to contributing along with everyone...THANKS AGAIN!!!
yep, the guys here are great!

Hey folks
Just wanted to drop a big THANK YOU to all the helping folks here in the forums and the awesome developer community.
You're just great.
I started reading these forums half a year ago. No clue of android.
Just an old HTC desire ...
So I startred reading the dummy how-tos, decided to root my Desire, what lead me to the root how-tos.
After rooting, the customer support of HTC sucked. I flashed cyanogen7.
Happy till today. (link2sd ^^ ... )
Then I rooted my Transformer 101, flashed a bunch of roms, got stuck in the recovery loop, many of us know, got out of it, flashed new recovery, flashed different kernels, than the Roms include ...
And all just by reading these forums.
Damn, you guys rock \m/
I posted a very similar thread here myself a few months back..isn't it awesome here? (besides the obvious trolls lol)
I'm learning to develop ROMs and apps now thanks to the community here, learned how to use git, and even met a few people that I work with now outside of the site on android development. Community is the best part of this place, but even lacking the community the information here is massive lol

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You're right. But I as a dummy I fell some kind of mercy with all those, that take the time to explain something a 100 times, that was explained at the start of a topic ...
The amount of information here is truly massive.
Big thanks from me too. I start reading this forum 4 months ago and tunned up my transformer. It's alot better than wen i bought it...
It's a fantastic community and it must have our appreciation!
Yes..agree
There's some great folks here in all sorts of threads..
Some grumpy old folks
Some green folks
Some pain in the arse folks..
But as a whole it makes for a better user experience for us all on our devices.
Edit.. and a thanks to the Mods for keeping us all under control..
