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

Thanks Dameon! Leaving with class and style! I like it. Maybe when the G2s hit Sprint you can throw together some stuff for us, even though I got awhile before I can upgrade.
Thanks for all you've done. Good luck with the new device.
thanks for all your work.

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

Hi,
Some of you may have seen me around, sadly the time has come to move on. I have a Galaxy S for a while and wont be around these parts as much, i will still pop by and say high now and then though.
I just wanted to say good bye to you all and thanks to all the dev's and user's who have helped me.
To many of you to single out so I made this post,
Good luck
Good bye mate..take care and i hope you enjoy your galaxy s (i think that is a valid phone)..i have seen you many time here and i know you helped us many times!! Thanks buddy!
Best regards

You'll love having a phone that can handle good games and has multitouch I'm sure.
I'll be gone very shortly myself, as will a great deal of others I'm assuming
Good luck wth your new phone Andi, we have had some good fun with the x10 but like scooby said a lot of us will be moving on this year so it's bound to happen.
With you being a flash junkie i hope you get your daily fix with your sg, i am sure you will though as there is alot happening over there, keep in touch and let us know how things go, chat soon mate.
See you around Chiefy, enjoy your new shiny SGS
More and more are jumping ship by the day...
Looks like I'm gonna be the last x10'er left at this rate... I'm stuck here on a contract until March 2013...
Good luck chiefy have fun a lot DEV is their in galaxy s...
@frosty666 i m with u buddy
Enjoy your SGS still a excellent device, sometimes wish i had got it over my X10, although im loving at the moment.
Still have another 7months with my X10 and then i shall get a Samsung droid.
Cool, Have fun there Chiefy, But be careful, SG is not exactly as unbrickable as X10

The only way to really brick a phone is during a bad radio flash..
Just check your md5 sums and make sure to not flash either new boot file or radio if you have less than 30% battery or with the back cover off (so the battery doesn't fall out)
See ya 'round, chiefy!
I saw your post in the marketplace so I knew this was coming..
Have fun w/the new toy.
Enjoy your new phone man seen you around here alot of times thanks for helping other users and you might regret the fact that it is extremely complicated to root and all that compared to the x10 lol

I have owned many phones and read one quick tutorial and you're set.
Plus the fact you can do much more makes it all worth it.
I know I said my good bye to you through pm already but I thought I'd say it again. I'm sure you'll get much more satisfaction from galaxy being the techy guy that you are and I'm sure in less than a week you'll be on the cyanogenmod nightlies lol
Also I don't know if I ever did thank you proper for the various bits of advice over time you have given me, and also when I put together that tutorial for how to flash 2.2 beta 4 with your help all that time ago.
I wish you the very best for the future and don't be a stranger and your always very welcome to my Facebook group and continue being a mod there

Thanks for making the Vibrant great, it was fun coming here, ruining my phone (my fault), fixing it, then repeating. I've had some pretty badass roms, this phone changed my life, and my feelings towards apple. Hopefully I'll see some of you in the Galaxy s 2 forum. Happy non bricking
Ps. I'll miss you guys.
Vibrant was my first android phone. learned a lot about android, and the development for this phone has greatly improved!
Samsung Galaxy S II here i come!
this is my first android phone as well. vibrant is such a great phone, I've had a wonderful experience with it. my next phone will be an iPhone or a windows phone though. I like trying new things
This is my first Android too..

Goodbye and Hello, I have joined you in SGS II land. All, if you want the vibrant near perfect, SGS II is for you. Same but bigger screen, GPS that just works, snappy - snappy - snappy out of the box, Front facing camera, very good rear camera, too much to list. Heaven.
But I still love my vibrant and am carrying it on another line... Life is good.
dont forget mj we have the source too so root is around the corner
I hope the Galaxy S2 for TMobile doesn't get forgotten like the Vibrant

Bye Bye all... I too have bid my Vibrant farewell.. I jumped ship and went iPhone 4S. Thank you sooooooo much to the dev teams that made the Vibrant experience 1000X's better than having it stock. Major props to Team Whiskey and EDT. After trying every ROM to come out, Bionix is where I came back to - it truly was the best Vibrant experience.
When your going out, I'm going in lol. Getting a Vibrant. How is it?
Have fun with your new toy! C-Ya homie.

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
The Epic was my first smartphone, so it will always have a special place in my heart, however, the time has come for me to get a new device. I got the Optimus G yesterday and it is amazing. I don't have the Epic anymore, so I probably won't do a whole lot more for it unless someone asks me to make a ROM that is unique from the other ROMs available (IE: I will not spend time making a ROM that looks and behaves nearly identically to CM, considering that we already have great CM builds). The loss of the keyboard is surprisingly not as difficult as I would have guessed. I hope to see some of you over at those forums, but to the ones who I don't, I will miss you.

I've been here since the Epic came out, and it's been a good run. My Epic's usb port has finally succumbed to the ravages of time, making it nearly impossible to charge - looks like I'll be moving on the gs3 forums soon. Usually, an upgrade is entirely a good thing, but I will definitely miss this community. I'm not trying to hijack Jake's thread, but I haven't done enough to warrant a thread of my own, lol
So back on topic - xboxfanj, thanks for everything you did to make an awesome phone even better. My dying Epic spent its last several months of life running CM7 with your original Crespo patch, and that is what will remain on it as it is powered down for the last time. Thanks again, and best of luck in all your future endeavors

Verizon 4g lte is amazing to say the least. SwiftKey Flow is now my way of getting around the physical keyboard i still miss from my epic 4g.Even after i gave it to my girlfriend i knew I'd never have the same feeling of waiting for my favorite roms to update and getting new kernels for ICS that was the climax of the Epic for sure.. really appreciate the work you've done on the Epic Xbox, I hope the Optimus community enjoys your future work as you continue to improve their phones .

By the time I saw your suggestion, I already had my S3, so I didn't get a chance to check out the Optimus. I like the S3 though, so it's all good (trying to swap phones now would be more of a hassle than the account holder is willing to go through, lol). I must say that while I will always miss my hardware keyboard, the larger screen on the S3 makes it easier to live with. I'm rooted but holding out with the stock rom for a bit so I can properly assess the improvements on the custom roms (and so I can finish this semester without more distractions - playing with a new phone is more than enough of a distraction already lol)
Kenny - I think I'll be headed for the People's Rom first
