I have been a member of this website for quite a few years and just wanted to leave a note for all the devs in the epic community. Those of us who have been around for quite some time can and always will be patient waiting for finished products. I started in the htc touch forums and there were issues with NFSfan and some of his roms. THANK YOU DEVS OF THE EPIC!! Hopefully I can donate a beer to each one of you and especially WHOSDAMAN for all his great work in the past. I just wanted to say thank you with no complaints!
Welcome
I appreciate all the devs for there time and dedication for giving us some great roms. Thanks!

Epic Proportions
I joined in February when I got my Rhodium and wanted to break it loose and begin flashing.
The drama as of late in THIS forum is pointless drivel IMO.
Thanks to noobnl, Firon, whosdaman, evilpeople, mammon88, schizopunk, ACS syndicate and everyone else that's not fresh in my memory (lmfao.. sorry) for all the work you have all done thus far.
Too much 'entitlement' and bickering and not enough thanks for what we currently have.
"Thanks for what we currently have, and for what we'll have tomorrow, or next thursday, or whenever it comes"
Now put that out or pass it my way
YAR
Thanks Devs!
I have gotten into Android and Samsung mobile development soley because of the progress made here and around the community for the devices that I own. I have been programming here and there for years, writing code for fun, but for a novice programmer looking to jump right into the field.. the unofficial support provided by everyones ideas and solutions has made it a great transition.
I for one think that this kind of stuff is a blast, its my FAVORITE hobby. My line of work fortunately provides me with free time during my work day, and at home I can do more collaborative work. I would love to add some hours of freelancing to the projects.
Right now other priorities and holidays will keep me hibernating and tinkering alone, but I definately look forward to joining the community as an active member at the end of this year
+1 love u devs

Yes, thank you devs! Drama or not, I still appreciate the work you do. My Epic runs so much better because of you all.
I was reading punkkaos's twitter and noticed that he had CM6.2 already running. He was just debugging.
Anyways, thank you ivory cruncher for your donation to him.
I would also like the non devs to be more thankful as the devs have no obligation to you. If you donate, that is what it is a donation... When you request, be appreciative and thankful for their work. Jt, bird, and others has put some serious work into this phone. Be thankful instead of the crazy attitude and sense of obligation. Otherwise, you can develop your own rom...
Anyways, thanks to ivorycruncher.

the "right of entitlement" attitude of some people is ridiculous.
personally, I'm very appreciative of all the dudes that have worked to make the SF more tolerable

I completely agree. Thanks a ton to Ivorycruncher.. you guys that had an eris like me, you will know the sorts of things we have to look forward to with punk.kaos.. I love our devs already, and now that punk.kaos is here, we're really beginning to gain momentum on the fascinate. As racer has already pointed out, kaos already has cm6 booting, and everybody is working on gb.. I think we really have some awesome stuff coming to look forward to.
And beyond that, thanks a bunch to the other devs like jt1134 and birdman and nemesis2all's that are always working to make our phone better. Without you guys, our phone would suck!

Aw, shucks.....
Yeah, it was kind of a big chunk of change, but I really wanted to have Kaos give us a hand. After seeing what he did with the Eris, I couldn't wait to see what he could do with a high-powered phone like the Fascinate.
And quite frankly I was getting tired of seeing all the people who whine and complain about not having any fancy ROMs, and also the crazy ideas people come up with to supposedly help accelerate the process. I saw the "X prize" idea being presented a couple different times, and lots of people were like "yeah, I'll donate," and then it went nowhere.
That is simply the wrong way to do it, because you're giving your money to an unknown third party that (no offense) can't be trusted, and sorry, but without the money in hand to buy the phones to dev on to begin with, it kind of defeats the purpose. The devs will dev for the heck of it, as long as they have the hardware in hand (though donations are always welcome), so the idea of an incentive to get them to dev just seems wrong to me.
I decided to go the other direction and instead of donating for the work after the fact, or to some crazy cash prize incentive, I coughed up the cash to actually put the hardware in his hands. And yeah, we now have a CyanogenMod ROM getting what appears to be dangerously close to a V1 release, with a GB ROM in the works too. What stuns me is the fact that Kaos has had the phone in hand for less than a week, and has already gotten this far.
I'm actually now thinking that going forward, I'm going to start figuring the cost of a dev phone into any new phone I buy, so I can toss one over to Kaos. However, the Fascinate hardware is plenty good enough for me for now, so once I get some decent software from Kaos, I'm probably gonna keep this phone for a couple years.
Thanks, ivorycruncher! You are a gentleman and a scholar!
jv
Big thanks ivorycruncher!
I would also like to say that when kaos/birdman/jt start releasing some Froyo or GB ROMs, I expect to see some healthy donations from you guys too, since their work is worth far more than what that phone cost me.
Oh, and btw, you can call me ivory.
I usually have nothing to say do to the fact that there are plenty of posts that have covered all the questions and issues I've had with my SF. The fact that ivorycruncher did everybody a huge favor and got punkkaos involved with the development with this phone is truly awesome. Thank you ivorycruncher. Thank you as well to all the fantastic developers who give the time and effort they do to make this a really fun device to own. You geniuses have given me a great escape from the monotony of every day life.
Hey thanks for taking the leap of faith ivorycruncher! Also thanks racerxfd for bringing that to the board.
Thank you Ivory! You really do make it worth having this phone! So do all the other Devs that work on roms and theme's for us. I would like to get into theming and other programing so that one day I can contribute as well!
Cheers!
Haha....I was just looking for ivory's last post so that I could thank him for donating the fascinate and came across this thread, perfect! Thanks ivory, we are all in your debt.
Cheers
Thanks a lot Ivorycruncher !!! All Hail THE DEV : Kaos !!
Thanks so much for moving this pda forward.
Now that we have cm6 and gb roms on the radar more dev's will come!!
Move dev's means more fascinate features.
Thanks for giving us just a little hope for the fascinate.
Ivory I'm sure if you post a donate link you will regain some if not all of your investment..I know I will buy you a 12 pack

Same brother. I'm more than down to help offset your cost.
Yeah have to say thank you Ivory. Really awesome what you did for the whole community.
Actually I agree that people have a sense of entitlement. I expect jt1134 to get naked and dance on me....will it happen? Prolly if he knew how sect I was! Lol jkjkjkjk jt. Alot of people don't know how much time has been spent behind the scenes and in irc coming up with the nods we have. And I have personally spoke with jt, adryn, bird all (except for bird not as much) for extensive periods of time and they work on this shot as much as google themselves. So be thankful. Without them your phone would still blow

After alot of the negative posting I had seen for awhile I stopped coming in here alot.
Been working on a very minimal ROM similar to SonofSkywalker's builds. Sadly its on temporary hold until I get some RL things taken care of.
Hoping to have it more AOSP than I have it now on the bench. But with our current devs and now punk on board my nubbish skills may not cut it.
Thanks Ivory for getting punk on board. Thanks to all the devs pouring their heart into the phone.

I'm usually a huge proponent of donating to those who make our devices better and our lives less frustrating. That being said, I have been without an income since the year started, so my ability to do this has been limited, although I will catch up. In penance, I wanted to post donate links in one thread, and at least offer my thanks to the time and effort these guys put in without expectation of contribution.
I know you guys would do this anyway, but the vast majority of the community sincerely appreciates your efforts. Without you I would have put my Fascinate in a sock and beat a Verizon or Samsung rep to death with it long ago. As light as this phone is, that would have taken a while.

And don't forget your choice of Theme developer/ porter. Too many there to list. You know who makes your stuff look good.
Good points. I was really close to switching to an iphone with at&t. This forum saved my fascinate from an untimely "fall" from my hand to the sidewalk. I really appreciate that these guys do such great work and are willing to share their knowledge with the rest of us. Now my phone works great and these guys definitely deserve a drink.
devs i love you and respect everything you do.. its yalls fault that i was stuck with a $700 paperweight for like 2 hrs.. but totally worth it because now my phone is beast... ide donate but im jobless and have a daughter to raise... but for real.. ya'll are amazing.. much respect.. if ne of u are in ohio.. i will happily buy u a beer though.. for sure... keep up the AMAZING work... thank you from the bottom of my heart
Links aren't working for me.
T-Mobile was offering a web special on a free G2 for activating a new line. Even with Sprint's 2-year contract renewal, the Evo Shift 4G and Nexus S 4G cost $150 and $200, respectively. Also, 4.3" devices like the EVO 3D are of no interest to me. It was cheaper for me to cough up the early termination fee. My G2 should arrive on Monday.
Before I leave, I want to thank everyone who has positively contributed to my Android experience with the Hero. This development community continues to exceeded my expectations... I still find it hard to believe we're all content with running an Android with 1st generation hardware, and we have great devs to thank for that. Even after the legendary devs like toastcfh, nfinitefx45, and others have left, we have new great devs who filled in. And of course, thanks to all the regulars who keep this forum alive and provide a supportive environment (you know who you are). Although I'm not as talkative and dedicated as some of you, I just hope I've been able contribute my share of helping and support as well
you will be missed sir.. and i dont blame you thats a pretty good deal.. im too stuck on sprint to leave, they have been too good to me over the years.. but have often said that if i left i would go t-mo for some of their devices.. so God speed my friend, im sure we will see you floating around here somewhere..
A man it was a blast having you apart of the hero community. Thanks for all the knowledge and time you put into the hero forums. Take care and enjoy your new phone. Have a good one.

Thanks for the kind words everyone I'll probably still be checking up on the never ending progress that is aospCmod and the revived 2.6.35 kernel
Peace c00ller. Enjoy your new phone. It was fun
Cooller,
Thanks for the help that you have given to many. I, as many others I'm sure- and as you can see, appreciate what you have brought to the hero threads. I moved from Verizon to Sprint for the $ reason's as well and for me, it was a good move. I got my 1st android phone (our Hero's) and I found XDA. It has been a great experience (learning, fun, and a great way to kill some time) and you have been a part of making it so.
Good luck and happy flashing. I know that whatever phone you are using, you will still be apart of this great community on XDA and the jewels that are made and found here.
I think I feel a tear coming on. No, it was just gas.
Happy Flashing!
DP (I should have gone with DogPoop instead since I'm not drunk and not a pilot...today anyway).
I want to post this because it seems that we all can go a little negative at times.
Let's all take the time to Thank the AWSOME Devs and Contributors we have in this forum and on XDA.Remember they do it for the fun,they do it because a part of a man"s brain that likes to see what makes something tick and some just like to see(metaphorically speaking) someone smile because they fixed or made they're phone better.
I'm am not going to try to name any or all of the great people we have. I'm in my early fifties and have what is commonly know as CRS disease(Can't Remember S*#t) disease and alas I would forget someone I know I'm thankful too.So remember Thank Early and Thank those that help even the ones that make a suggestion. Cuz remember he/she could be the next Dev that finds root,builds a great Rom,or creates a nice looking theme, hack.
Just thought I'd throw that out there because as a earlier thread said "there is a little too much negativity"
THANK YOU TO ALL Who have Helped me All the Devs that are a part of this XDA Community you have made this journey down the Android road FUN! and a LEARNING experience!

I would like to thank all the DEVS as well. You guys don't get enough credit for the time and effort that you put in. We (the community) do like all you do. THANK YOU!
Fdx, thank you very much for making this thread. You are right, instead of bashing people that are not appreciative, lets have a thread that shows appreciation. These devs do an excellent job, and I appreciate everything that they do. Hell, I've been running ss since 2.3.3 got root, and have loved every minute of it. All of the work that strapped365 has put into this rom, all of the time that he has sacrificed for the good of the shift, and everyone else that contributes their time and effort to our phone, making it more then what it was, I appreciate it and am very grateful.
Thanks again Fdx for making this thread, and hopefully everyone that appreciates our developers will stop on in and just give a quick thanks.
Here here...my thanks to the dedicated developers and the entire XDA community...innovation generates evolution, not negativity.

Yes, thank you to everyone that makes the Shift awesome! Thank you to all our devs who spend their own free time pushing our phones to the limit just for the challenge. Thank you to all our users who help other users just out of goodwill.
Thank you, Devs. I appreciate everything y'all do. Cheers!
