The situation is not as grim as the title suggests. I am not really saying goodbye to my X10. Only going to step away from active developmental activity on the X10. Most of my close friends here saw it coming as I did not make any big release on this forum any time recently.
I joined the X10 train pretty late in fact, the time when all the fervour regarding bootloader unlocking, getting first custom kernel, and getting official CM support was just dying down. And still in this short time I learnt a lot, and it's my great fortune that I was able to help out a few people and teach a few things to people too.
There have always been awesome friends here who helped me right from my first baby steps. It was some time around July or August of 2011 that I held the X10 (my first android) in my hand for the first time. I had heard about rooting from before, and I already had hacked some WinMo phones earlier so I ended up rooting the phone the very second day. But back then I was as n00b as one can get. And it was during those days that I made friends with the most helpful guy on xda, GregBradley. (old timers on this forum will surely know him). And then soon enough I started getting into the groove of things, and released my first mod/tweak/theme pack for WolfBreak's ROM.
Over time I made friends with some great people like Rahul (DoomLord), Wolfbreak, Colossus, Aaron (pvyparts), Iris and many many more. And I remember releasing my first ever custom ROM the X10S 3 days before my 12th Grade finals were about to begin. (those are like the GCSE of UK). I was elated when lots of people like Tof37, Wo88les, Toledojab, Feravolt, Yeeyon, barath000 came out to help me with that project. and we made the xda front page !!
Next I learnt compiling kernels. And once again that was not possible without DoomLord. Whenever I used to get stuck he would give me a very very faint idea and then add the line 'search more and find out yourself'. (And as I write this, Rahul bhaiyya just said 'congrats' on the pic of my Xperia S on facebook )
Out of my zeal to help the devs on X10, and in general the xperia family, I started to work on the Kernel Kitchen, and I was totally over the moon when that made to the front page too. But obviously my greatest achivement I would consider would be being able to succesfully compile and deploy AOKP to all the Xperia devices. And it was during this process I actually learnt how tiny and insignificant my knowledge on the Android platform is. When i used to go through the code patches by the great guys like jerpelea, bin4ry and zdzihu, I would realise how much more they know, and how much more I still have to learn.
Now the shiny new Xperia S in my hand looks really beautiful but the X10 sitting just beside it will always remain closer to my heart. It's here that I made awesome friends like Sahib, TGM, @rbiter and TheLogic, and it's right here that I learnt whatever little I know about Android phones.
I would always be popping up on the General Chat forum, and also stay active on the X10S thread, because that is the ROM that my X10 is currently running
But I won't really have time to develop anything much (even had to drop the idea of a goodbye ROM due to hectic schedule at college )
So guys, all i want to say is CHEERS!! and ALL THE BEST with life. Always drop me in a PM when you need help or just want to chat up. And over this little period of time, along with the great moments have come those unavoidable situations where I might have got into war of words or hurt a few sentiments here and there. Please do forgive me for them.
Once again a wholehearted thanks to each and every person who helped me, taught me, donated some bucks, worked with me, pressed the thanks button on my posts , used my ROM, or even visited my threads.
will miss the best dev forum on whole xda !!!

Good luck champ!! and thx for helping me through pm
We did see it coming and knew it would happen, but that didn't make it any easier when I found this thread.
Don't think of it as the X10 losing CHAMP, think of it as the rest of the XPERIA's are gaining a CHAMP

Stay lucky bro and thanks for your tireless work and i am pleased you finally got your XPS.
Thanks for everything ya did, senior champ!!!!!! you are my great friend thanks for helping me when i'm clueless in working x10. Please take care and enjoy your great life in ya college.

Hi Champ!
Thank you for bringing so much great stuff to my x10! Especially the S-stuff, because I'm into that phone.
I liked reading your OP in this thread, and to see your picture. It's good to see who was behind all this effort, and to read how you did learn all of this. I wish I had the time for it.
Right now I'm switching form Vasishta's ICS to X10s V9 final. [On the fly EDIT] [email protected]#$ forget the final verificiation part!
Anyway, switching to X10s v9 is partly as a tribute to all your hard work.
I am thinking of switching to Xperia S. Maybe I'll catch your ROM's over there. I'll sure be looking out for them.
Thanks again and make sure to have lot's of fun in the future!
Kind regards from The Netherlands,

BECAUSE I AM A SONY FANBOY
AND BECAUSE XPERIA DEVICES MAY NOT HAVE MAXIMUM DEVELOPMENT BUT THEY ARE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GADGETS ON EARTH !!!
and also because I have grown accustomed with Xperias running on Qualcomm SoC's so I can find it easy to do tinkering/tweaking/developing on them.
(psst... and also because as a noobie developer, I get less competition on Xperia , )
will reply to everyone else soon... gotta rush now

P.S: i think you will be back if the 2.6.32 and version 3.0 kernel is done for x10 ,i hope so and i wish i can go to india..hahahaha.. ALL IS WELL!!!!!.. hahahahaha.. cheers!!!...

First off, let me say that the XDA site has been a godsend. I've learned more about my phone's capabilities in the last few months than I could have ever expected.
Having said that, the Epic 4G community is seriously lacking. I've rooted and custom rom'ed a few friends' phones recently, an Evo, an Incredible, a droid eris, and a Droid X. It was shocking to me to enter their forums and see all the wealth of information and plethora of choices. CM7, MIUI, roms galore. Then I come back to our forum... and... yeah. I appreciate all that the dev's have done for our phone. I can't even remember how much my phone has improved over stock, but I think it's crazy how undersupported our phone really is. It's got all the potential in the world, but the comparably weaker Evo is getting all the love from sprint customers.
That's why I pre-ordered the Evo 3d from best buy recently. As much as I love the screen on the samsung and would love to have the SGS2, I just can't risk getting stuck with a phone that has little to no support again. It's a shame. Best of luck to those of you who stick with this phone. Hopefully the trend of established developers leaving slows down because it's been very disheartening to see our already meager dev crowd dropping like flies.
On to bigger and better things but still thankful for all the support for the past few months. Take care.

Don't get your panties up in a bunch.
I wasn't trying to disrespect the community. In fact, I went out of my way to say thank you. Anyhow, the reason I posted this is because I have a strong feeling that there are plenty others on this forum (whether they are lurkers in the dark or randoms that post one-liners just to bulk up their post count, or even the dev's themselves) who feel similarly. Our phone had all the potential in the word. But, between Samsung's ineptitude and our comparatively small dev community, this phone never came anywhere close to its potential. It's sad that my girl's banged up antique droid eris can flawlessly run the latest CM7, yet my phone shi*ts a brick if I try to load netflix.
again, no disrespect. for those of you that stick with samsung, I hope the SGS2 gets better support. It certainly looks like a phone for the ages.

just because someone does not post does not mean they have not been here, they may do what most do not , is read and search.
but also I did notice that he joined fairly recent so to be honest I don't think you gave this community much of a chance. it sounded like you really didn't want the phone in the first place.

With all your contributions to development and support, you'll be sorely missed. Before you went on your useless, selfish rant, did you consider you could have learned to develop or help support or developers? You were party of the community that it sounds like you put nothing into. You justifiably got the same from it. I hope you learn this before you go stink up another community.
These threads are useless and make me like our community more and welcome those who don't want to add anything to leave quietly. We don't care how much you butt hurt over the EVO.

Good post, OP, at least compared to the usual level of intelligence here. Case in point: "Oh no, my leg is asleep" for 10 pages is perfectly fine, but your post apparently isn't.
I, for one, agree with the sentiment. I'm usually an early adopter, but I'll be waiting to see which phones get large community support before I buy my next device. Lesson learned, here.

I have to admit, this made me laugh too.
Having said that, there are two things I didn't do for this forum.
1.) I didn't develop or theme, wish I could have, but it's going to be a long learning process.
2.) I didn't post every time I coughed, sneezed, burped, pooped, or grabbed a bite to eat. I didn't think it was necessary.
But I did do the following:
1.) Visited this forum and other XDA forums very regularly, which is how the site makes its money. Sponsors don't pay for post counts, they pay for page hits. There are likely exponentially more visitors than posters.
2.) Donated. For those dev's whose Rom's I used, and themers whose themes I enjoyed, I donated money. And, I'm pretty sure that's a large incentive for why they do what they do, as Noobnl so eloquently displayed.
3.) Referred, literally dozens and dozens of people to this website, which adds visitors, page hits, and sponsor money.
So, you're right. I never developed a ROM that you could use. But, until now, I also didn't waste bandwidth with nonsense or ETA queries. Once again, I didn't start this post as a swan song or with the hope of warm condolences; I was just curious to see if there were others who felt the same way.
Thanks for the laugh anyhow.

I am having a hard time justifying this comment. My friends want me to search for roms on their phonesand when I look I find a ton of pretty much the same roms written by different people. Can someone who had done this on other phones explain what the bonus to having 40 roms with 1 feature current versus having 5 stable, working roms that can have features added. I'm not sure went over-saturating the dev section is considered better support. Was the EVO so bad off that it need 40 roms?

I understand the OP, but honestly, I had an evo running cm7 and my epic with srf 1.0.1 would run circles around it. Im pretty sure the same will happen with evo 3d and gs2.
It's a sad thing but. What should be done has to be done.
Xperia X8 will progress into a legacy devices.
So does the forum in any time from now
It's been around 2.5 years ago (It also my first android phone)
Running MiniCM 10 on top of the naa kernel's
Which sparked when racht, dx, & others which wasn't mentioned or currently in inactive state was here in the first place.
NOW, Original developer/development/'s of MiniCM10, 9, 7 & GDX has been literally in the state of "not so much of activity" (In fact, GDX has made a statement already.)

It's been over a year when me and B.Jay took over the GingerDX ROM from doixanh. Through these months our team evolved and we gained much experience, but every story has an end, so does GingerDX.
Why we decided to discontinue this project? Well, there are few factors and I'll try to tell them, as we always treat, you, our dear users, fair.
1. 3/4 of our members don't use X8 right now. We have switched to some more powerful devices, as X8 was our first Android phone, but it was released 2.5 year ago (you know how fast the Android world runs).
2. We have no time at the moment. Our real lives strike back with many problems and we have to earn some money for living
3. The 2.6.32 plan has failed as the lack of time and some serious problems with compatibility were serious reasons to abandon this project.
4. We would like to try something new with Jellybean and X8 is way too old to run it on an acceptable level (I know some users will disagree with me, but that's a fact)
It's getting sentimental, but it's really a hard decision for us to make, but we were thinking about it for a long time. I want to thank few people who always supported us:
@SMillerNL - for a big donation and being a great admin of our site
@GermainZ - for being a friendly guy, who always makes us happy
@laufersteppenwolf - for maintaining a Q&A thread
@shineworld - for his technical support and being a good friend
@NinoRapis - for donation
And all users of our small ROM. Without you having it would've been pointless.
Our sources are still on our Github, so feel free to make use of them. Thank you and see you around!

And I seek naa successions in developing his new project now [3.x KERNEL] [Mini/Mini Pro/Active/LWW] 3.0.8-nAa-03 [6/5/2013] - Unified kernel
By the way, this phone will remains a memory for me.
And it still comply my signature, I will swap this phone if only it become ashes
Until then.....
If there are chances of some genius can solder Xperia X8 with "goodies ram" i would seek his services
yeah the phone has payed off to me way more than it costed...(about 200$ when i bought it).
It has been 2 years since then and seriously i am way more satisfied with my device.
thanks to the devs for keeping it alive for so many years..
Ah, ah... it's quite nostalgic right? It looked brand new for start-off, until we look up upon other devices
Yeah..
just one month after i bought it LWW showed up and then i thought that i should had bought it instead..
My father had LWW, i personally like it for one feature..... The dual speaker Dang, the sound was so great
I am pretty sure it will go down as a Legacy device, but that doesn't mean development has to stop does it?

told ya...saw this coming. X8's days are numbered. Let the countdown begin. Will keep this phone safe.
The development will not stop. But slowly it will stop. Eventually everyone will switch to another device. Because X8 is really outdated and slow for today's standards. I bought the X8 for 180 Euros 2 years ago.

My X8 is not even one year old :silly: :silly:
Sent from my X8
yup,emotionally leave us all mourn for a while but its the day that will come one day because this technology world
are developing pretty fast and rapidly like every day a new device have been introduced even X8 has been release 2.5 years
ago that the age of Android developing rapidly, for me i have been a X8 user just for a year my warranty does expires
couple of weeks ago. as this is my first android phone.
but not so many developer will stop developing ROM's there's so many new ROM's out there as i guess it our X8 will been kept
alive for couple of years coming. even so many users likely to migrate to newer device because of our X8's hardware
really obsolete. even me! keeping my hope alive that i can still get a GS4 this month! and it will be my second
Android device. a huge jump from current hardware specs that phone i used afterward i got a Ipad but its not a Smartphone!
I have so memories about with this phone. My phone is one year and 2 months old now. I still remembers the time when my mom gave it to me. It is not a special device but for me, it was a very great memories. And I still remember the first time I brick my phone. I'm not a rich guy. I laugh with the phone. I cry with the phone. I listen music with the phone. Many memories still remains. This is legacy devices now and we all know it. But for me, it's never a legacy device. It was my very special device.
@CnC-ROCK
True that. True that. That's exactly why I chose kernels. Thousand times easier than ROMs. Or so it seemed up until about a week ago.

If not mistaken, Forum that are moved to Legacy section are meant to be "Read-only" threads..... Except if there is an critical updates

In the meantime, all former user of x8 will buy a bulky phone

I can't really describe how I feel with words.
We never worked together but we worked on the same device. The EVO forums were like a dev family, and we lost a member.
RIP buddy.

I'm glad I had a chance to work on one of your projects these last few weeks. Go easy my friend look over all who knew you and give us inspiration, show us the way.
RIP friend.

I still can't believe it.......My thoughts and prayers go out to his family!
I talked to Diablo a few times throughout the years and I will say this about him. Every time I talked to him, I could sense the love he had for all of this! For his contributions, his ROMs and just to be part of all of this! The guy loved Android and he loved helping people!
He would help anyone at any time no matter what! It didn't matter if you had a problem with someone on his team or vice versa, he only cared about helping you. He wanted to see the community grow and wanted to be part of it.
Last time I talked to him, I was helping him get setup so he could compile some ROMs from source and maybe add some mods at a later date. We talked about Android and the community as a whole. Joked around a bit and that was it.........I can't believe that was the last time I would talk to him.
This morning I logged on to Google+ and to my surprise I saw the news that he had passed away
Diablo, you will be missed dude!
Diablo was a great guy and I'm proud to of called him a friend and a team mate. His passion for android and learning and sharing was inspirational.
Mad love for you brother. May you find the peace that was lacking in life and rest easy knowing you touched so many of us with your open mind and giving nature.

Thank you for this thread papasmurf.
Diablo67, you will surely be missed my friend. I had so much fun testing roms & helping the tiny bit I did. You were always there to help me & everybody else. RIP my friend.
Thoughts & prayers to your family & loved ones.

I never got a chance to work with Diablo directly but he showed how much he loved android in the Roms he put out. I ran so many of his Roms, people like him is what made the EVO Community so great. Hard to believe our friend is gone. He will be missed. My condolences to his friends and family. Rest in peace bud.
When I got my first Og I found his work to be some of the best. He inspired me to start working with android. Later I got to work with him on a couple projects and it was always fun and games. He was always around to help anyone with their problems even personal problems. No matter if things were going bad for him he was still there for us.
Diablo67 was one of the greats. A great artist, tweaker, modder, friend, and man. I could have never asked to know a better person. He will live on in our hearts and our Evo's. I know longer use mine as a primary phone but it is still running one of his ROMs.

This totally shatters me. I don't even know how to be right now about this. Diablo was one of my best friends on here. We were in several Dev teams together, but that's nothing. He was just one of the few people, along with Swiper and others that I truly considered a friend. Even while I haven't been so active on XDA recently, we still had a lot of PM conversations. I'll miss him a lot. Much more than i can put into words.
Go with God, my friend ((((((((
I'm at a loss for words.. He was a good friend and an excellent mentor and I'm proud to say I've worked with him. I only wish I had spoke to him more in the last few months.. May he rest in peace.

Well I have been in touch with his girlfriend and planning on sending a donation to help out. If anyone else would like to do the same I will give you the info so you can. His girlfriend has no PayPal so it will need to be sent via snail mail. No one has asked me to do this but I want to help him as he would have done for any of us.
Brother your body may be gone but you will always live in our hearts.

Spoke with him several times and he was always so much fun.

You will be very much missed . Thank you for all that you shared, I learned a lot from you.
R.I.P. Diablo67
I never really got the chance to talk to him much, but from the few times I did here on XDA he was kind and always patient with questions. He was the type of dev that would make it a priority to fix a problem of a single user, or help them troubleshoot.
Also, he taught quite a few of you who helped me learn more about Android and everything that goes with it. So indirectly, he taught more people than he knew.
I'm going to miss seeing his name around here, though his works will live on. All in all, fantastic Dev/chef/modder.

Well, im yamil.
Also leader of skydragon... Soon will get my M8, im looking for coders, app makers, themers, testers that want to join my team.
First, the main idea is to have fun and share knowledge about roms.
Always private life first. No rush no pressure.
As you can see in my profile, i m a regular user, not a dev. But i love htc and making bases for roms. I m not in a rom competition, also i would never say my rom is the best, just is the best i can do today.
So far, mates from m7, hox and butterfly S are getting m8, and few know about theming. So for a start we have something to get fun together!
But we lack of coding guys, people capable of making an app or codes for the rom... Which is not the most important but give the rom a plus.
I hope you really enjoy this forum and your M8, if you want to be part of this team, free feel to pm me.
And thanks for taking your time for reading this thread, joining or not, we will meet in this m8 forum!!!
Thanks

Flashvetrin R.I.P (06/05/64--09/10/15)
Flashvetrin Album here> Some pics of Marcus and family We're always thinking of you my friend.
You will be greatly missed my friend...:crying::crying:
I'm making this thread for anyone who Flashvetrin (Marcus) has helped, spoke to, made you smile, etc here in the T mobile section.
Feel free to post whatever you would like to say here. Or just want to talk about it.
A message from his wife, for those wondering what happened to our friend.
On Thursday September 10th 2015 My husband unexpectedly passed away. While at work Wednesday afternoon He was having chest pain and was rushed to the hospital, after being seen by the doctor they found he had a torn carotid artery, He went in for surgery to stitch it up but they would not hold, his surgeon worked on him for hours and was unable to save him. MARCUS was a caring, loving husband, an incredible papa to Trinity, a father, son, friend and meant so much to so many and will be missed by all of us.

Thank you
Bajanman...
I had to write the OP and check to make sure I understood this correctly, but it seems Flashvetrin passed away. Lots of people in the community knew him because he was very active in the forums always testing ROM development and helping members. Since this thread is intended to be in his memory I wanted to share two of my interactions with him that stood out in my mind.
There was some bad advice being kicked around the Dynamic Kat forums where Flashvetrin was very active in posting. Some people were offering advice about how to fix an issue and I immediately took to shooting that advice down in the most blunt way possible. I should have come up with an alternative solution, but luckily where I lack tact, Flashvetrin came in being helpful and offered a solution that helped everybody.
This was his response which was perfect and settled everything. He even stood up for me later in the thread when I realized that I had taken my criticism too far. I couldn't bring myself to post after that and Flashvetrin never held my statements against me. Just recently he helped me in the Darthstalker forums (this post), responding to me almost immediately when I'm quite sure he could have had other things going on. When I think of the Note 4 forums there are just a few members that stand out in my mind and Flashvetrin was always one of them. He was an incredible member of these forums and I am going to miss his presence here.
I didn't know Marcus personally, I kind of wish I had. But I did get to see his personality and penchant for helping others through these forums. There are few members that had his level of commitment to this community and I am grateful that I had a chance to interact with him. I have the utmost respect for him and I hope that his family and friends know that he was incredibly important to this little corner of the Internet. Thank you for everything, Marcus.
Man, he was posting and helping myself and others on the 9th!!! Its sad to say the least. Can someone explain what happened?
Rest in peace brother. I didn't know you personally but I've read many of your posts. You will be missed.

no words... really really sad news...
Marcus this is from your Echoe brothers,
Marcus was one of those amazing people who make you wanna become a better person yourself.. Not because he tells you so.. no... I dont ever remember him telling anyone what to do or how to act! No, he inspired you, me, us, just because of who he was, of how he is, of how patient, understanding and wise he was!! I, we, were lucky that we had the honor to be teammates and friends. I was lucky that I had this man listen to me, and talk to me about so many things besides android.. Yeah Marcus was a seasoned android veteran but that wasnt his main strength.. His strength was his entire existence, his personality, his energy, his kindness, his whole being...
We will truly miss you Marcus @Flashvetrin
May we all aspire to become more like you...
May you rest in peace my friend..

Am shocked myself. This just comes to show how committed he was to these gadgets we love and for which are a part of our lives, work, everything. Rip bro.
Flashvetrin (Marcus) was a very active contributor. He loved to help people on XDA. He was on his way to becoming an RC of that there is no doubt. I have been a part of XDA since 2010 and I am happy to be a part of this community and with that comes the down side of seeing people you know pass on too soon. Marcus will be the third that I had a lot of contact with in this community. He will be missed!
R.I.P. Flashvetrin!
When we have all paid our respects, this thread will be the OT Lounge for this device to speak of things not necessarily phone related but can be...and please keep within the rules.
Marcus was a guiding light in a sometime dark forum.He was always there to give helping advice and encourage you to press on. May the Lord above Bless his spirit and his loved ones during this difficult time.
