I am still rather new to the android system, been learning almost non stop for the last month (my gf is pissed!) and I gotta say this site is the most helpful and beginner friendly I have ever used! I have learned almost everything I need to know about my captivate, rooting, odin, themes, all without having to ask a single question as everything I need is readily available The performance of my phone has increased ten-fold thanks to the patience and dedication of the developers. I have become so confident that I am going to start offering help and feed back now that I know a kernel isn't the old guy from the chicken ccommercials!
Read guides, follow directions, and look before asking and it's easier than steve jobs' retarded sister!
Generous donations and overdue thanks are on the way!

Just wanted to say this is the BEST site on the net I know of for everything there is to know about HTC's like my 8125.My first post here was a dumb question that I had.It only took a few minutes to find perfect answer for it.I've only been playing around with upgrading my phone to WM 6 for a few weeks.When I came to this site...That has changed.I want to learn as much as I can about my 8125.I would like to replace the housing myself when I feel that I can do it myself.So that's it...Thanks to all mods and members for tons of info.
LOL
Glad there was already a thread for praise.
I had an Apache for quite a while before I learned just how amazing that phone could be. Now, I'm on to my Titan & am loving it. If I had to use the phone in its stock form, I'd probably hate it. With what I've learned the phone can do, I love it... and what I've learned, I've largely learned here.
XDA-Dev is fabulous.
Thanks to all!!!!
Welcome to Paradise! And of course Happy Flashing to all the new members!!
I Agree
What can I say...
This site is awesome, however I have also found that you get back what you put in.
Still consider myself a relative newbie but working on that thanks to XDA Developers
i've recently read an article about mobile phones and the scene in a local computer magazine and xda-devs was mentioned as the legend, bible, and all those super-uber-extra-mega praises.. ^^
Without Xda-Dev my diamond would be dead (or maybe just sold
Just have to sign up to thank you guys.
I have been five year Palm but had to jump due to a move to 3G Japan.
After two days I was about to smash my Diamond into little pieces, it was so unresponsive compared to my Palm.
Then I stumbled onto this site and was reminded why it is I chose winmobile, despite it being spawned from the beast.
It's because of you guys, the hackers and tweakers, tirelessly tinkering until perfection. If it wasn't for the tweaks and the utlities (like gsen) my diamond would still be a source of frustration than the delight it has become.
Once I get my finances in order I am definitely going to paypal some cash somewhere. I would super keen to donate to anyone making a system font manager, something that can cleanly link and unlink fonts.

This is one great site, it is a wealth of info and has got me on my marry way so I thought i best say thanks before I left
THANK YOU
Xda developers community,
Here I sit at the end of approximately 78 hours of a joyfully sleep deprived journey of pure tech excitement. It all started with my two month old G1 Dream, which I am crazy about, suddenly began to annoy me with its ridiculously small internal memory. I offered my dilemma to the overlord of infinite knowledge, Google, and all roads kept leading me here. I began to read, found answers,and developed the uncontrollable urge to join the action. I've read, rooted, rommed, wiped, re-rooted, re-rommed, nearly bricked, cried, picked myself up, read some more, fixed, and utterly tweaked my G1 into a steroid laced technological work of art. Twice I wanted to ask questions but fought my hands away from the keyboard as I read the seemingly harsh and usually condescending replies as my fellow noobs received. Quick and deadly were the Chinese stars of sarcasm as they split their heads open, ending each post with "you would have found this if you'd just taken the time to read the forum". Each one of them ending in that little blue "Link of Shame" they provide linking you right to the detailed answer that was posted like two weeks ago. Not me....no sir! I decided to read and discover the what lies within for myself. I'm so glad I did too because I've learned more about my G1 here in three days than all my accumulated phone knowledge combined. This place is a tech-rebels think tank of knowledge from some really knowledgeable people. Everything I studied and tried was 100% accurate and easy to follow. Thanks to all of you for sharing your discoveries with all of us "Noobs" out here. I'm hooked on XDA! Sleep.....we don't need sleep where we're going....STANDBY FOR REBOOT!!
Welcome to forums
Great and nice words of introduction
Read, Search, Respect and Enjoy!!
Enjoy this great forum! Read, Search, and Happy Flashing
That has to be the best first post I've ever read....
Congrats on all that you've learned.

Welcome to the "family" I too followed your process....
So 'cool' yet spending way to much free time will be the thing to look out for....
Really, Your post is outstanding....wish it could be on all ROM's 1st page...
PM me if you ever need to...DID you know to click on the persons name (top left of their post) to PM them and/or see all their postings....a quick way to get help I have found....
Nice post and welcome to the forums!
We were all "noobs" once mate, at least you did the right thing and read up.
Far too many "users" here just want answers, finding them for yourself is far more satisfying.
So now you've read up on the Billions of pages and dug your way through the hundreds of forums, when will you be releasing your first Rom?
LoL
Welcome to the forums mate, may you be stuck here forever like the rest us!
Cheers,
Beasty
Welcome to your Home!!!
That's similar to what I experienced sometimes. But if you read and read and then you ask about something that "is there" and you did not find, I think nobody will throw you to the lions.
Now, enjoy... and help make this site greater !
I'm a carrier for the XDA virus....
I raced to the office today to ignore the growing pile of work on my desk, darted past my idiot boss mumbling something about deadlines or some crap, and sat down to start the day off with a triple espresso and a theme flash straight from the XDA threads. As I waited for my phone to reboot I started feeling the sharp pinch of conviction. All day long people, myself included, run to the elite developers of XDA for endless advice on flashing, features, firmware,roots, roms, and recovery screens and freely download to their hearts content. Then strut around showing everyone there phones as if they were some sort of underworld hackers. But does anyone stop to think about all the endless hours or trial and error, defeat, lines of code, complaints, and everything else that goes into these works of art? Each day I learn a little something more and gain a deeper insight on the hard work that so many put in so that I can carry around my super fast , fully loaded, and ready to tether G1 each day. Allthough I really dont think these folks do what they do for fame or fortune, I still feel like I need to give credit where obvious credit is due. Thanks for the hard work, warm welcomes, and dead on advice I recieve each day here. And the flavor of the day today is an RC29 build, Cyanogen pimped out recovery and his latest update, very nice "Black Ice" theme, and a phone I cant seem to put down. Oh crap...here comes that jack a** boss of mine and my boot loader is stuck in a loop. I gotta start establishing better priorities.......like getting up and closing my office door so I can wipe and reflash this bad boy!!
Hihi.. nice writing.
Welcome on board.

I'm not looking for answers - just sharing my appreciatetion and thanks! Because of the GREAT job of XDA Developers and the people who post on this forum, I was able to go from being a total noob a few months ago, to being able to root and flash my Captivate yesterday without so much as a hiccup. Yes, I started the process many months ago, spent some time reading through the forums and didn't post anything because I didn't feel comfortable asking any questions when I saw so many others being told..."go look it up." I'm glad I did, because looking it up made me more knowledgeable and capable of doing what I did.
I don't have any $$ right now because I just got done with surgery and being out of work for a month, but as soon as I am back on my feet, I will certainly be donating to XDA and the developers of the ROM and Apps I used to help me along the process.
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!
Welcome to posting in forums,
Nice first post
Here Here!
I just want to provide a big "thank you" to everyone who contributes to XDA. I modded my gtablet to "Calkulin+Clemsyn" and in the process I soft-bricked it. However, XDA provided all the information and resources I needed to use nvflash and install C+C correctly. I thought I loved my gtablet with Vegan-tab, but I'm really digging C+C (Skype w/video!). I now feel like I have a brand new device to play with for 2012!
This community does awesome work. I'm so happy with my tablet that some donations will be coming to those who worked so hard on making these custom ROMS and those who provide all this valuable information.
I concur.
My devices are millions times better due to the work of rom developers!
Thanks XDA
Have been learning from XDA devs for almost 2 years - it's time to write to thank all of you for making everyone's experience better. Just flashed Ultimite ICS rom for my sensation and it's excellent, the documentation/comments/responses were excellent, and all-around this is an exceptional resource.
So, thanks.
Just the fact that we come back to read and contribute day after day, week after week, year after year, shows how much we love this site. The membership has doubled this year. Be certain that XDA will be a household name in the next couple of years as Android and Windows phones spread around the world.

I would also have to concur. All the wonderful folks here at XDA have made my devices (Samsung Omnia i710 and now HTC HD7) much more interesting over the years. Many thanks to all the devs!
I would just like to drop in and say THANK YOU to the xda community as a whole.
i am not overly knowledgeable about these things. and the people here have been such a huge help.
originally all i wanted was to optimize my new tablet when i got it (acer a501) did a lot of reading and decided i wanted to root witch was easy... but i hit a snag wile flashing from one rom to another.
and the help flowed in. fast and helpful responses. while i was freaking out thinking i bricked my new toy, my helpers were calm and on point, and got me thru it. and they had no problem taking the time to teach me things that i asked about. now im helping people with simple problems so the experienced people can take on the big jobs......until i learn
so THANK YOU to the devs, cooks, and all the knowledgeable people that make up the best forum on the net.
THANK YOU!!!
I'm going to second this one. I don't usually do florid thank-you posts, but I really do appreciate the work going on here. xda gave my phone a second chance at life; WinMo sucked battery life and performance, but with GBX0B my phone feels like it's at least a year newer.
Thank this page and all people who are intetested in modding of Android

I want to say thanks as well. I discovered this site through a friend. I came here, read through on how to properly install rom and then downloaded a rom and it worked So yes I am on my way. I am not completely new to the Android world but when you deviate you tend to forget things. This site is bringing it all back to memory and helping me discover new things.
I would like also to show my appreciation to this forum and for the many people that support it and it's users.
It is been great on my side and greatly helpful.
I too would like to send out a HUGE thank you to all in the xda community for the compounding wealth of knowledge and experiences within.
It's taken me a little while to get where I am today, but like all things... persistance pays... but could definately not have gotten there without you all.
Thanks so much for all the help! This forum honestly made it really easy to start rooting and flashing. I remember getting my first android phone this year and boy was it difficult figuring out what everything meant at first... Thanks for keeping my G2x alive and well
I would like also to show my appreciation to this forum and for the many people that support it and it's users.
It is been great on my side and greatly helpful. GJ XDA
I guess you could say I'm still a newb when it comes to Android. I've had my GS2 Skyrocket for a half a year now and I'm so glad I ended up going with Android over my originally planned WP7.
I came to XDA because my friend pointed me here when I was anxiously awaiting news about the official ICS upgrade for my Skyrocket, and I've ended up kind of sticking around. I lurked for a while, checking out the forum and trying to glean what I could about the advanced side of Android (e.g. flashing, recovery, etc...) but I finally decided to join, partially because I wanted to "thank" people like Seanz who make the ROMs and software I'm using (still haven't figure out how to "thank" yet though. I'm guessing an advance feature that I'll unlock at 10 posts?)
So far, I'm pretty darn impressed with XDA. It's a VAST forum, fully alive (unlike my previous forum, Zuneboards, which was dying out when I first joined it.) The mods seem to do an excellent job keeping things on topic and clean, and I'm happy to not see too much flaming of the n00bs that occasionally seem to pop up. I used to be a moderator at the previously mentioned Zuneboards, so I'm pretty familliar with forum etiquette, so hopefully I'll be recieved well here.
Anyways, I hope to stay a while here and really get involved, as I think it's a lot of fun to get involved with a large community forum, and I've missed it since I left Zuneboards. Just figured I'd let you guys know that I'm pretty impressed so far and to keep up the good work! Thanks!
Welcome to XDA. It sounds like you won't need most of this, and please don't think I am offering any insults but you might find some useful stuff.

Oh hey! So THAT's when I get the thanks button! Time to go back and thank the guys who made the stuff I'm using! Thanks for the welcome too.
