No more X10 :'(

Well guys, I've had my X10 for a year now and it's been a nice device for me but the time has come to move on. When I first got it, Android 1.6 Cupcake was on it. I then found XDA forums and got the balls to root and debrand it and flashed it to 2.1 Eclair. Then Gingerbread came out and I got tired of waiting for AT&T to release the update for it so again, flashed it to a custom rom made by Wolfbreak. His work made the phone really shine and gave me infinitely more control over it, not to mention made it noticeably faster, smoother and equally stable. It's because of him that I kept it as long as I did.
But now with Ice Cream Sandwich coming out soon and knowing the X10 hardware wasn't going to get it I decided to step up to something more future-proof and snatched up a Motorola Atrix 2 at Best Buy for $49.99. I hope you guys felt I was an asset to the forum the short time I was here, I'll check in every now and then and help when possible.
Lastly, I'd like to give a special thanks not only to Wolfbreak for his awesome work, but all the other Dev's who devote their time to doing what they do which allows us to enjoy our devices that much more. AyDee, your work on the Envy theme for use with Wolfbreaks 2.3 rom made me fall in love with my phone...WB gave it the performance, you gave it the good looks. I appreciate all that you guys have done for me and my device and wish you guys the best of luck in your future endeavors.
Adios amigos!

Damn dude you're too kind!
Well this is more of a "see you later" than goodbye. Everyone comes back to X10 forums once in a while. There may be better phones but there are no better forums!
Have fun with the new phone. Just don't come back here bragging how much better it is. Lol j/k
Cheers buddy.

Haha so true, half the people in the x10 forums don't even have x10's we're just here because of the craziness here and environment of the x10 community. Also, the x10 was my first ever android phone.

I keep coming back and I got my atrix 1. The x10 forum keeps me amused, especially the general talk thread. That thread is the place to be.

cheers

I've loaded Corbato's MUIU and I'm loving it. It's breathed new life into my X10, and I'm happier with my X10 than ever.

even i did sold my x10 and got SGS2. still i always comeback to the x10 forum.

You guys were alot of help to me, without this place I don't think I would have rooted my phone and discovered Wolfbreaks rom, not to mention all the other things you guys helped me do and/or figure out. I'll check in from time to time for sure

Goodbye nexy :(

I would like to thank all of the awesome devs here in the Nexus One forum. You've taken me from a android noob, to a not-so-noobish noob. I'm still learning but I've recently got a One X. My N1 went south when it took up smoking and well.... It blew up. That's what you get for overclocking it way to much. But I would like to thank each and everyone of you for being awesome. Nexus One, You honestly changed me as a person and opened a whole new goal in life.
Okay enough of the rambling, I'm off to enjoy my 1X.
Take care guys.

1st i like to say AWESOME bro i just got the Amaze so i'll be having this kind a post up soon myself sorry to here about ur NESY maybe you can donate to developers i would but i need my n1 when i go to india i recently joined myself n learning TONS of mod n tweaks now all my friends at the office n daily life ask me to be there TEC GUY it's fun because they all think im some kind of cumpert freak who can hack THE NEW WORLD ORDER lol all jokes aside YOU will be missed n your NEXY farewell n stop by on nexus one forums n help us all out bro

yeah thank you all
I bought XPERIA S
Evervolv for ICS rom

Sad... I'm going to change my phone soon too, but the Nexus 1 will stay in my heart!

Am i the only one noticing that Jay_Rulen said thanks for leaving? LOL So you think it is good of him to leave?

I moved on to the Galaxy SII and will miss my N1. Thanks for the good times everyone!

whoa that's really sad, nd its great that u got one x, which is a successor of our nexus one

I'm in a similar boat. I recently had to replace my N1, and it will be sorely missed. Especially the LED trackball! Sadly enough, the google nexus is too big for my taste, and I didn't really want to spend $400 up front on a new phone so I picked up another phone instead.
I've vowed though, that as long as the next Nexus device is sized more like what I prefer, I will buy it!

I can't believe it, but I'm saying goodbye to my trusty N1 too. I'm still going to keep it around for media stuff around the house, but I got to get me some of that LTE. And IMO, the HTC One X is the first phone that is a true successor to the Nexus One.

Indeed it is, It is the nexus 2. Only HTC can create such ground breaking devices.

My N1 is still alive, but I have moved on to the galaxy nexus and I also find the screen is a little too big for my liking. Screen colour is also sub-par comparing to the N1, I never see proper white colour being displayed even after adjusting RGBs and gamma values.
I bought the japanese galaxy nexus for around $325usd, shipped to hong kong via yahoo auction jp a month ago.
Though I am still flashing different roms on my N1 to play with

Kept my N1
I still use the N1 when I travel and put prepaid SIM's or my own SIM in it. It is smaller than the Inspire and then the Galaxy Nexus that followed it. If it would take ICS, I would probably be using it more. I really like ICS over Gingerbread and the extra zip of the dual core.
Anyway, it stays in my travel bag as a spare.
Phil

that sucks man. but i'm looking at exchanging my n1 for 1x as well

i'm selling my last nexus one now. it's in perfect shape and i'll get around $300 US for it in my country where imports are closed. i got to sell it now or never! i've moved to a gnex but i'll miss my first real phone.

Same here ... I'm moving to GNex now that price is affordable ...
I'm a bit sad because I really enjoyed the first nexus ... It was a pleasure to play with hundreds of custom roms and get support from this awesome devs community.
Thanks to all you awesome guys!

I'm planning to sell my Nexus One,,as the First Android device, this Smartphone has served me with pleasure... The devs are awesome as well...But the world is changing..Need better Specs now..I will miss my Sexy Nexy the most !!

i9000 - the smartest purchase ever

So, back in 2010, my wife and I were looking for new phones to buy. I had a Nokia E71 while hers was an outdated SE feature phone, and she desperately needed a smartphone to keep track of her emails. She was hell bent on getting a Blackberry. I tried reasoning with her, and she finally agreed not to get a blackberry, but then she started insisting on getting a Nokia instead. This was around Valentine's Day in 2010, I tried telling her that some great Android Phones are about to be launched, she should wait, or better still get an iPhone.
The sad state of affairs in India in Feb 2010 was such that Apple were releasing the previous year's iPhone model (3GS I think) a month before the new model was announced. I could not let her buy an outdated iPhone for INR 36,000 when she could get the latest Nokia N97 Mini for INR 24,000. I still implored her to wait for newer Android phones.
She decided she couldn't wait and she got an N97 Mini for Valentine's Day . I must say I was also interested in some Symbian devices at the time, but I kept telling myself that I could make the E71 last a few more months and make a call when the newer Androids were released.
Finally i9000 released in July 2010, and I heard the world going crazy over the internet. I still kept waiting, and I finally decided that I needed to make sure that this phone would be future proof like the HD2.
The clincher for me was XDA. I saw so many people boasting of updated i9000 ROMs for each android release that I finally purchased my own i9000 on 11/11/10.
Not disappointed at all. Have you seen the number of JB ports available for i9000? Tell me one phone that was released at the same time and has such brilliant community support. All I can say is, my brother's Desire HD cannot find even a single decent ICS ROM.

Thats right we are awesome. We know

I agree with the great community support. Yet, maybe we are also lucky because it is very much close with Nexus.

Yeah I switched from my N8 to an i9000 a couple months back and haven't looked back. I was bored of modding Symbian^3 it was just so locked down... almost why I couldn't live with an iPhone, they're great devices stock but Android devices are great stock but with heeeuuugeeeee potential.

Go open source as much as you can
I'm always motivated to the open source devices and software

I bought it during the release years ago and I'm still checking these forums everyday looking for something new.
It's still working like a charm and I love it! Thanks for the great community developing roms!

Was gonna get i9300 last week but when i sampled it in the store i thought the screen was huge. Seriously its like a tablet that makes phone calls.
Don't get me wrong im not saying bigger isn't better LOL!! but a phone is a phone and a tablet is a tablet. So what next the gs4 will be a 42 Inch LCD?

I got mine about 1 1/1 year ago, but was a bit bored and anoyed by all the samsung and telco stuff
so I started flashing about six month ago and I never will go back to stock. I'ts also great to be in this comunity,
you learn so much stuff and it's interesting wat's going on... :good:

What did I say ?

Had my i9000 for about a year and a half.
Don't regret it in the slightest. If my device makes it to 3 years old I'll still be using it as my main phone.

Moving on to a Galaxy S4

I had two year with my Desire HD and loved it. It's still a good phone and I'm sorry to part with it - it's going to be my girlfriends new phone now.
So thanks to all that helped and those to have made those wonderful ROMs.
(I just need RandomBlame to come up with ICS 7.1 or 8 before I give the phone to her )

No Goodbye threads! Just imagine everyone would make one, lol.

[Official] Good Bye Thread

Hello everyone !!!
As Our phone is getting older and older the world is moving on so is the smartphone world.
lets cut to the chase here.
Let this thread be a Thread where everyone can say a goodbye to one of the best sub-forums in XDA.
With truly redefining developers our phone have came a long way.
But now or some times later everyone will start falling apart.so at least here they can say Good bye and be thankful to those developers.
Let Me start this First
Thank you everyone in this lovely galaxy 3 forum.
sadly its time up for me here. but i'll be here of course to visit all the threads as i can't just forget getting into galaxy 3 forum.

Hi everyone, it's me gogozx.
I got this phone exactly 2 years ago.
I learned alot of stuff with my little Apollo.
I got Kyrillos ROM and i used it for pretty long time, and i always thought it's the best phone ever.
The phone itself was beautiful and it was pretty nice and fast.
I remember how i cried just to get it.
Then my dad bought it, it was my first Android powered device.
I loved every moment i had with it, i couldn't sleep without having it next to me.
Then, as i thought Kyrillos ROM is the only custom ROM, i went to XDA for second time in my life, just to fix my device, because i accidentally deleted system apps and i couldn't launch anything.
Then i found about something called CyanogenMod 7, and i decided to flash it,
I loved it, but i couldn't play games (CM7 alpha 8 was just released back then)
I was kinda sad that i had to go back to Kyrillos ROM, but after turning back it was 10 times smoother.
I was happy with my phone and i watched him getting new custom ROMs.
Later on i saw Mpics Ice Cream Sandwich ROM was out, bit i couldn't play games neither on that ROM but i was stunned by the new Android 4.0.
So i flashed back to Kyrillos and i could play my favorite game again l Gangstar West Coast Hustle.
I did so much stuff trying to make it work, and then i got hang of the Chainfire3D app, so it worked fine.
Then Android 4.1 was out, i remember i was waiting so long to watch it getting reviewed on strongest phone ever: Galaxy Nexus.
I adored that phone,with that huge display, it was kinda like king of phones.
So great developer named marcellusbe released CyanogenMod 10 for my cute little phone, i was so happy, and i thought to myself, why i can't be awesome like marcellusbe, kyrillos or pmanian.
I decided to go and learn everything about my phone and ROM developing, and after waiting so long and making perfect Jelly Bean ROM for my little monster i finally did it, then i decided to create myself XDA Account.
I got to that 10 posts so i could finally post my ROM, i was the happiest person when people liked my ROM, and i got so much thanked posts i even continued my ROM, and it was awesome, i tried everything to make it work as good as it can, and i made it.
Recently i got a new Google Edition Galaxy SIV, and i was so sad that i knew that i will forget this phone for couple of years, i even cried when i gave it to my sister.
So i told people from this forum that it's time for me to go away, i felt like I'm losing a good friend or something.
But anyways I'm trying now to fix the camera in my Jelly Bean ROM, i got it but the pictures couldn't be saved, but i think that i will probably give up on that, because i no longer have anything, i was so frustrated that i deleted every single Galaxy Apollo file from my PC.
Recently my best friend passed away, and my girlfriend moved away, so it's been pretty hard here.
So that's my goodbye, i hope you have read every sentence i wrote here.
By the way, I'm gonna miss you Apollo Legends (every single person on our g3 forum)

R.I.P. my g3 and good bye everyone. As my phone is broken I am moving to lg nexus4. I want to thank to all developers who worked to make our little g3 better, especially @marcellusbe, @hillbeast and @tom3q. I also wanna thank to: rkoby, kyrillos13, shwetanlal, sad96, jason-ex, twinky444, ajay.d96, pranjal, michal12 and many other developers and themers. And also thanks to whole g3 community which taught me about android and helped when needed. I will still follow this forum so I am not leaving

Sad to see so less activity in the G3 forum. I still have my little G3 with me.
I remember the days when I was just a beginner and actually joined XDA because of the G3. Yeah, those were the days of awesome activity.

I would like to say thank you to all the developers for our g3. I have moved on to the nexus 4 but I will not leave the forum. It has been a great ride, using it daily and running every possible custom rom, from such great developers, to whom I am so greatful. As I said, I will not leave the forum, but it is no longer my main phone. Thanks for such a great time

Good bye G3
Hi today is the last day with g3...i am gonna sell my g3, i dont wanna do that...but my g3 got several hardware problems, so that leave me no choice.
i am just here to say thank you for those who spend their precious time for g3 development...even though it is too old to use. i am very happy, because g3 is my first android device. and that is the reason so i can learn more about android...i always miss you.
