A Special thanks to all the Devs out there. . .

I just wanted to send a simple, humble thanks to all the Devs out there who spend countless (and manytimes thanksless) hours updating the Android OS's.
Without them most of us (if not all) would be stuck using the providers locked down and bloated OS -
thank you for all of your hard work
thank you for answering our many times ignorant questions
Thank you again -

I couldn't have said it better myself. Thanks yall!

Yes thank you guys. A new hobbie I've picked up that my wife hates....sweet life.

Indeed. I chose android solely because of the development community. I didn't just blindly grab any phone I could, I did a little research and knew it had to be android and it had to be HTC. And thanks to the support and quality that devs put into these devices I will be a dedicated HTC/android customer for as long as both exist.
A big thank you to everyone who puts in work, especially the cyanogenmod team.

I agree, the devs, all of them! Have made owning an htc aria a very nice experience, I have been taught so much about linux, it's insane, droid platform coding too! This is the greatest phone/community combo! Thanks to all, regular members too!

BIG DITTO to this, exactly the reasons I came over to Android and in particular HTC.
I was completely unprepared for how much work has been put in by the devs and community - Bravo everyone and in particular the hard work of the modders!

To be honest... I bought this phone back in October bc it was NOT an iPhone which was very important to me. I didn't even know what android was. Now I'm addicted and my girlfriend hates my phone . Thank you so much devs for giving me a hobby. Idk that I can really be thankful enough for what y'all have done for me. My whole life really. I was just kind of wandering aimlessly before but not anymore!

Go!

I have to agree with all the above posts. The development effort here is nothing short of amazing and the results are outstanding.
My humble thanks to the devs for all their hard work.

Same here. Good work guys.

two Very BIG Thumbs Up

Developers Wanted!!

Okay, I am putting together a team of developers to work on MIUI for our Epic. I have a few dev's already on board and we would like as many as possible to work on it! If you are interested PLEASE reply to this thread or PM me. I've got an IRC set up and we'll make sure to make it a team effort!

First. Sorry iSaint...

I thought that there was one being worked on still is all.
... Edited: Sorry I went to his old thread on sense and someone said he moved on to another phone perhaps.

MiUi is built from source, right? If it wasn't, I might actually be able to help

Learning to be a dev takes a while because you need to develop skills that are necessary to code and such. Habits such as writing clean code and commenting out parts of code also need to be formed. I took an introductory comp. science course in college, but i haven't really practiced nor even attempted to look at developing for android as i know its a whole new world and i simply do not have the time to do it. But ladies and gentlemen, if you want to do it, nothing is stopping you, but just be sure that it is NOT easy and will take a couple of years or more until you are able to help with more than just bug testing unfortunately. And before anyone says that i am flaming or trolling, i am not, i am simply stating the truth and on top of that, I am in the same boat as you are, helpless to the devs. All I can do is donate some of my paycheck every now and then for exceptional work. I and we all owe it to these devs for making our phone work well and, as far as I'm concerned, they deserve it.

I would also love to help, but I just now started learning code on my "free" free time, its hard to remeber the format of the code,just that alone is a nightmare...
DOS was childs play compared to writing anything for android, I'm a pc guy,used to using windows UI or DOS back in the day when I was 14...

while we're on the topic, to what books are you referring ??
I'm definitely interested in some reading material.. while I can't help w/ coding and such (right now) I think it's a good time for me to get started reading and playing (on my device anyway)

I have tried MIUI
I honestly just dont care much for it it is built from its own source originally built in asia it is coded in I believe chinese and ported over to english and thus has been ported to different devices it was first ported to the og droid it is not built from aosp or any other android released source it is a ui built all its own.

Come on XDA! we need NilsP as a developer. He is the main reason I come to XDA forums right now.
Please give him the status he deserves!

I believe nils had it first, but thats not the issue, his work speaks for itself. This is outrageous. What we need are the other devs weighing in on this. Consider me signed +1000000000000

+1 for his awesome roms

+1 and more. First isn't as good as best, and Nils' work is better than best. Wake up XDA and realize what you are losing here. We all recognize Nils as a valuable member of this community. Shouldn't you?

Outrageous. Enough said.

KlugN said:
Recently one of the greatest developers for the Droid Incredible, NilsP, announced his resignation from developing some of the smoothest and most stable Inc ROMs ever seen because the XDA "higher ups" have rejected his application to be seen as a recognized developer.
Anyone who has ever used one of Nil's ROMs can attest to the fact that this is a huge blow to the development community.
I am hoping that with enough signitures, we can get NilsP recognized developer status, and that he will continue his amazing work for the community here at XDA.

Can't say that I've ever used one of his ROMs.
But what I can say is that he has a presence in the threads of other developers, and that, to this relatively noob, seems extremely knowledgeable and willing to help. I have seen his name in the list of credits of the various ROMs I have used.
What exactly is the XDA criterion for "developer" status, anyway?

So we have a dedicated developer / rom chef and XDA turns him down???
In my business field we call that sales prevention and bad practice. This is what XDA stands for at the core, individuals that step up an post great roms, mods, themes and apps, how does he not qualify?
I sincerely hope the "higher ups" reconsider because if they keep going this way we will not have any developers on XDA and thus there will be no more XDA. After all it is individuals like him that drive XDA.
+1 give him his deserved status. NilsP has helped me back on the old Omnia i910 days, (when XDA wouldn't allow the omnia on the forums because it was HTC exclusive forum, remember that, lol) and continues to contribute to the community. Thank you NilsP, we appreciate what you do for us, even if XDA doesn't!!

+1. His ROMS are solid.

Uhhh, no its not. Community Rom, Shooter Rewind, and also Newts Sensation Rom all have MMS over WiFi working. But back on topic yes Nils deserves to be recognized as a developer as much as any of them. He does awesome work.
+1 Nils

+1, any dev willing top put out great roms should be recognized

Bring him into the fold
NilsP should definitely be on the list of Recognized Developers. His ROMs, as mentioned everywhere in this thread, are some of the most stable out there.
+1 to add him.

I haven't personally used any of his roms, but he deserves to be a recognized developer for all the work he does.

With Great Sadness

I have left the Shift today. It has been passed on to my better half for her to enjoy.
Thanks to all of you that supported my themes, especially aamikam and prby1969.
Hope to see some of you on the ET4G forums or on the next device after that. I picked up this beast today.

This is a sad day . The Shift community will definately miss you. Thank you for all your work and help . Enjoy your new toy, but don't be a stranger .

Thanks Brando you helped me a few times while I had my Shift as my main phone..
Good luck with the Epic Touch...

Loved your themes ,its sad to see you go, but hopefully you will bring those skills to the sgs2 thread .

Brando, I owe you a tremendous amount of thanks. You helped me learn so much. I am very grateful that you shared your extensive knowledge of android with not only myself, but with the rest of the shift community. The et4g forums just got really lucky... Don't be a stranger! See ya round bro!

Atrix 4G kernel appreciation thread

I felt I needed to put up this thread due to the confusion of what can and cannot be posted in the other kernel threads. I would like to say a HUGE thank you to all the devs involved and the kernel testers. I am finally making use of the kernel thanks to epinters 10.1 ROM. Woah what a difference its like a new phone and still only alpha!!!! So to all the devs and the testers you are achieving things that I have seen go stagnant or fail on other projects for other platforms so many many many times. I hope this thread will help you all feel valued. This has to be one of the more hardcore coding projects and you are achieving milestones and a great rate. So if everyone would like to give thanks to those involved please use this thread so the devs will get the pats on the backs they deserve.
If a mod could add a complete list of the devs that would be great or if Kristian or epinter can send me a complete list I'll add it to the post, complete with their roles would be nice.
So once again your achievements truly are great may your success continue

I'll try not to be pessimistic on an optimistic thread, nor sarcastic at all. But another good way to show some love for the devs is donating

Oh make no mistakes I'll will be making a donation, had I been working I would have already. I just think its important for the devs to read words of thanks, encouragement and praise for their efforts. I've posted in other threads before showing my admiration for what the devs have achieved only to have it deleted and my post I believed help give some idea to other users how difficult a task had been taken on. So please people if you feel the devs should receive a pat on the back then please post in this thread

i've been using the new kernel for a while now and i definitely notice a difference. thanks again for the work, glad there are people still dedicated to this phone.

Its really an amazing experience to become a witness of the rebirth of an official abandoned device. Thanks a lot.

I too greatly appreciate the effort of these devs. I'm running the CM10.1 build by epinter and company, and it's really incredible.
I just wish I had the rights to post my bugs/tweaks/comments directly in the dev forum...

OK been on epinters 10.1 7-12-13 version for about 24 hrs. All I can say is the development has been fantastic and this version is very stable for me. Just keeps getting better and better. Fantastic results guys please keep up the amazing work
