I just wanted to say "Thank you."

I just wanted to inform all the good people of XDA for helping out me out. It all started with me asking total noob questions such as "What is rooting" to finally having great guides to teach me about rooting. Now, my phone is completely rooted, voodooed, and just spanking fantastic. It's fascinating how a phone can do so much. I can't wait till XDA works hard to crack the 2.2 update in the future and I just wanted to say, Thank you very much.

I second that. Came in here with no knowledge of the subject of roots, and after a couple of weeks of reading I feel I can safely edit my phone. Thank you to all who contribute.

Thirded. It's quite amazing how quickly this phone has come along. Big thanks to the devs for their hard work. Also, lol @ the OP's fascinate pun.

U'll can thank a lot of these guys by donating. Most of them have ways to do that.

I'm gonna echo the OP's sentiments exactly. After everybody's help & responsiveness here at xda I feel like I've been able to make the right choices about phones & apps & what to do with them. After everyone's input on my OP, droid x or fascinate?, I'm sticking with the fascinate due to my confidence in what these devs can accomplish with a truly open platform.

+1. I'm new to the android scene. Thanks to XDA and its helpful guides and members, my phone's now rooted and zipper than ever.

Some other folks here and I have had this phone since Last fall, and this dev community has exploded since then. Thanks to the devs, this phone is exactly how I want it.

-Hai guise I haz problems on the pre-alpha release and I don't know why.

Hello and thank you!

Hey guys,
I just wanted my first post to be a big thank you to all of you guys on the forums. I've been reading through the forums ever since i got my sgs a few weeks ago and i've found so much useful tips and information here. Thanks to all the people who have the patience to answer other peoples questions and problems, especially when they do it time and time again as the questions are asked more than once! Thanks to all the devs for the opportunity to enjoy the full capabilities of my phone! I am on Darky 9.3 right now (which is great) and considering very soon to make the big leap to CM7. My curiousity in the field had grown thanks to all of you, and i truly hope that in the future i will also be able to make my own contributions to the android community and the SGS community specifically.
My deepest gratitude to this forum and all its members!!
Sent. Period.

Yup, that is very true what you say there and I to am very gracefully to all the members here.

My sentiments exactly. It's a great community and the wealth of information collected here is invaluable.

One thing nobody warned me about was the heart stoping moments when ur flashing a rom or bootloader and the phone takes just take 2 or 3 seconds more lol.. BUT yeah big probs to the Seniors Spec Joel (Darky) and Ramad

I concur... +1 !!

Dev wanted

Okay, I have been around the forums and contributed to roms here and there. I am wanting to learn more development. The mods I have made have had there place but I want to build my own rom for both my own personal use, and to share with the community.
That being said, I have a lot to learn. I am looking for a dev who is willing to conspire on a little project I want to do. Help me learn the things I need to know to finish this project I have started. I will not attempt to take full credit for what comes of this. Proper credit will be given to those who assist. Especially being I am lacking a lot of knowledge.
If anyone is interested, please pm me. If not, I'm sure in due time I will figure it out. I would appreciate any help that anyone is willing to provide. Thank you to our great devs for keeping our devices alive for so long! I am hoping to contribute to the longevity of our devices as well!

I'd love to start learning, but seems every time I ask about where to start I get either ignored or told to use Google. Lol
I've got lots of windows knowledge, training, etc. But Linux is like a foreign language.
Where can I look to start playing other than a kitchen, that's not development.

Google it lmao...jk
Check out google aosp ans github and tge google android developers site. Read some of the guides on here. Start small...work on theming an apk...then modding apks...then system mods...then go to roms. If ur looking for apk dev tgen tgere are sites to help but a lot of that takes a ton of reading with trial and error

:what: lol thanks
I didn't think I was going to read a few paragraphs an be able to build a rom. I took 2 years of c++ and Java, I know how much a hassle coding can be.
So many times I'd click compile and it'd throw 3000+ errors from a comma placement.
At least I got a direction. Thanks papa! I love your mighty smurf! It kicks ass

Okay, so my main issue is porting a tweaks apk into my rom. I need someone who is willing to collaborate with me on this project. Someone who knows smali and can not only assist but educate. All credit will be shared for the assistance provided. Who's willing to go to work? Will resume working on this project tomorrow night.

Too go with. Instead I get flamed.I thought we as a community would be better than this.it would be easier just to say
Root with this,use this frimware,this is the Rom too use, and here's some tips. But I guess not.

Ok buddy.. All I'm saying is if he took the time he used to make this thread to read stickies, root guides and the q&a section he would be more prepared to mess around with his device with less risk of breaking it.
There is enough good threads with good knowledge that if he spent time in looking would be fine

Guys Come On... he's a noob. Cut him some slack, even though must of us have common sense to do some homework (research) before posting questions like that doesn't mean we have to bully him. Hulk just do some more research and if you find a topic that you don't understand, then post stating what your not understanding.

no clue
no clue, you have no clues

Read / research / read / research
BTW what's good for me not necessarily will be good for you too.

Welcome to the n7 forum, and boy what a welcome...... Unless you are comfortable with sending commands via adb use one of the root kits, they offer more than just rooting.
Not to many roms or mods to choose from, but everybody has that there on taste.
Like offers have said search and read, then ask in those threads if unsure.

When I just got my amaze 4G, I read and followed instructions and still messed up my phone.
Thanks to the member dark nightmare for ‘spoon feeding‘ me step by step and got my phone back to perfection.
That dude is awesome.
Sent from my HTC Ruby using xda app-developers app

wow, what a messed up welcome. this IS the Q&A section. We all have been new, most of us has messed up, even following directions.
So, Did your N7 arrive yet?
CleanRom is one of my favorites when I feel like running a custom ROM. Im back to 4.2.1 at the moment.
I think WUG's toolkit is pretty easy for a beginner.
If you really want to play though, learn how to use adb. It may be a learning curve for some, but its really easy and fast.
Of course, search is always your friend, but most of us will still be here to help out if you need it!
Enjoy the Nexus, its a blast!

Patience people .he is a virgin !!!!
Welcome to xda Nexus 7 forum and (i guess ) Newbie Target practice Zone.
I think the biggest advice anyone can give you. Is something people do not often say. Before you flash unlock root or change one app on your device. Learn the STEPS TO GO BACK. Make all the necessary backups. Follow all instructions. But only after you understand what they are doing to your device. Read The forums about the different roms . Especially user responses and comments on the different roms.
Most of all Learn your device . Learn recoverys and basic fast-boot and adb..
Backup Backup and know how to use your backup...
NOT TO MENTION BACKUP
again welcome to the fourm and please Backup read re read.. then think before you flash.
Erica Renee ..:silly:

He's right. What's good for some may not be good for others. I'll suggest a few things. Keep in mind these are what I prefer:
Mskips Toolkit. I love it. User friendly and easy to navigate even if you're not familiar with rooting. Offers an all in one option (option 8) that unlocks the bootloader, roots, installs busy box, installs your choice of custom recovery, and will recommend the 3.34 boot loader instead of using the built in supplied by Google. 3.34 keeps root more reliably than others for some. Its compatible with all versions, it will buy you dinner, and kiss you goodnight.
Again, my preference but I've had nothing but success with Mskips work.

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
