So I've had the opportunity to browse a lot of other forums lately. They're really different and sometimes really the same. If you've ever watched that lame but great show Sliders, it can be something like that at times. I will update this list with characteristics in case you're looking for a fun place to look and contribute, since a lot of our knowledge is transferable.
Forums you should check out:
Droid 3: they're so damn close to rooting that thing. such a cool process to watch
Update: they have root
Droid Charge: Doppelganger world to ours, phone is at a similar stage of development even though it's relatively new
Fascinate: The VT of forums, lots of good vibes and they shame people into behaving
Galaxy Tab: Has two dev communities and both seem to be great. I plan to get one soon but I'm still learning. People seem friendly, though.
EVO: Decent community despite the sh*t we give them. It's like a city of forums and wandering into some of those threads makes ours look tame. Sometimes it's easier when everybody know your name.
Will update as I wander, think of me as Travelling Matt from Fraggle Rock.
I highly doubt that XDA would enjoy this thread. Let alone its off-topic.

I think he's referring to other XDA forums for those particular phones. I had some good reading on the V6 TurboCharger thread. A flame war between developers turned into a joint development breakthrough...entertaining stuff. I will check these out as well. You never know what you may find from doing some reading. TheRoot always finds the best themed apps for me.

Not everything can be found at XDA... it's always good to expand horizons and research everywhere. No need to lash out at all....

You don't go to McDonald's for a Whopper. XDA makes money from ads, so they forbid referring people to other sites whether for info or downloads.
Ive been in the Nexus S forums lately because my gf finally let me root her phone (thank you so much for the video and links qbking) and I was literally in shock from how many choices there were.... I literally had no idea where to start even though I like to think of myself as an expert flasher/rooter.... I often forget that the Epic community isnt the only one on the Web lmao
Not that anyone cares but I think this is a great topic. Android is about sharing information, ideas and our work. We have to allow for other forums or even websites to exist. XDA is the only site that seems to struggle with this concept.
There are tons of other great websites out there and well as tons of other great forums right here at XDA. When I was actively developing on the Epic, I found very helpful information in many other forums. Some were other Galaxy S based forums but others were HTC or Motorola based sections.
I think this was a fantastic topic to get started and I completely agree with it. I just wanted to show some support and say hello.

I am new to Samsung, I came from an HTC phone. Over on the EVO3d there was tons of roms and themes second bootloader was unlocked. Was just wondering how it is on this side. I miss flashing things lol.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
It seems like that, but in reality the phone was out for a month almost before it was unlocked. The devs had plenty of time to play with the contents of the phone.
This phone has been out like a week.
Woaah buddy, gotta be careful with what you say here.
Anyways, I came from the HTC evo 4g community which has been around a lot longer than this one. But still, it took a month or two to get things going.
I mean the 3D just got root like a month ago. I think progress here is going swimmingly. Just give a few more weeks.
We probably wont have the sheer quantity u are used to, but i assure you we will have plenty of high quality roms and themes.
I wasn't being negative. Was just wondering what developers are on this phone and what kind Samsung has. What I mean by not much of community is not many roms yet. If anyone thought I meant disrespect I'm sorry.

Well cyanogen now works for Samsung so what does that tell you about who Samsung has? ;-) I think Samsung is trying to turn its rep around.
I also came from the evo 3d and am very happy with the switch. Sure the evo 3d has a lot of roms but a lot of them are the same ****.. and there aren't too many "real" devs on the evo 3d.. a majority of them are just cooks who ran the stock rom through a kitchen just adding tweaks. Hell empire who clams to be a dev didn't write a single line of code. Just mashed up other peoples work

It SHOULD be stressed that only the founder Steve Kondik was hired, NOT Cyanogen as a whole. The team continues on, business as usual. Just to clarify
Rome wasn't built in a day. It's only been a week. I would rather have the devs take their time and release something solid and better than a themed stock ROM but that takes time... especially if it's thoroughly tested. It seems like a new trend to release ROMs with a few hours of testing so little things pop up like an apk missing or a function force closes. I will try ptfdmedic's ROM when it releases because I know his work from using it on my Epic. I am sure the devs are in the lab building masterpieces as we speak.

It'll take a bit but I'm certain we'll see increased activity soon.
First, based on comments, a good many probably just got their phones if they ordered from 3rd party vendors. Especially Let's Talk.
Secondly, the transition may take some getting used to. Going from OG Evo to 3D was primarily the same software. In fact, many probably worked with it with their OG Evo before they got the 3D. So now they have to "get to know" Touch Wiz, Odin, etc.

Basically FOLLOW DIRECTIONS PERFECTLY, and everything will be fine.
So I had to switch back to gingerbread after a week or so of running the ics leak. The deal breaker for me was battery life. I absolutely loved being on ics and consider it vastly superior, but, even swapping out batteries (I have 2) it was still too much work. And then theres the failness of showing someone how awesome ics is and then WTF IS KERNEL PANIC UPLOAD MODE... lol. It was a good daily driver but I like when my phone lasts more than 6 hours. I cant wait for a stable ROM to be released! And I congratulate all the devs on your hard work. Guys if it werent for you I would be so much less of a nerd, and for that I salute you.

Welcome! Hope you're happy with your new phone. Personally, I love this phone, but know it could be better yet.
And before you ask, there is no ICS, MIUI, CM, AOSP, or AOKP on this phone. Also, use the damn search for your answer! Now gtfo, noob!
Lol, just wanted to say that before you inevitably get flamed at some point for asking a question. Here's a friendly tip: a few users (not all, but a few, and they're very vocal) in this forum need attitide adjustments. Take everything lightly here and don't let those few discourage you from asking questions or helping others.

Rooted and rommed Mytouch 4G, G2x, Sensation 4G, Amaze 4G, and waiting on my Galaxy S2 to come back from Samsung for an LCD replacement so that I can get my flashing fix! (I've been dying trying to use a blackberry in it's week's absence...)
Anyway, it's great to see that a fellow new member was treated with such kindness. Hopefully I'll receive the same hospitality.
Also, as a CS major I hope to be joining the actual developers soon. Learning my way around java and the android SDK at the moment. Wish me luck!

Publicly not to my knowledge, There maybe someone somewhere trying.After the issue we(E4GT Community) went through regarding the sense project build I doubt it.
There some amazing T.W builds Done by Team Rejectz Venum Nocturnal and others.
I think that's the project OP was referencing. I am not familiar with the whole debacle; however, I have gathered through various comments some kind of scam took place. It's a shame (for development and the community's sake) that the project had to end as it did. I personally don't like sense anyway, but it still would've been cool to have the option.

Ever hear of a thing called search? Anyways the community donated enough to get Swamp Goblin from the NS4G community to attempt a port of Sense, he received the phone, there was very little almost zero communication about progress. He supposedly was finishing up the last semester of school, then he had work, and a girlfriend, with very little time to work on development. Everyone got upset and wanted to know what he was doing with it and if he could send the device to someone else to work on the project. He finally came back with a booting but very broken from. No one has heard from him since then.
In my opinion he got a free upgrade from the NS4G and he is using the ET4G as his daily driver now or his girlfriend got a new phone to use.
Either way the community feels scammed and currently the Sense project is dead in the water.

Pretty much this. I know it sucks, and I wish I could do more, but the fact is nothing can be done. Just learn from your (our) mistakes and keep moving forward. This is just going to leave a sour taste in everyone's mouth and until someone is ready to take on the project, I think we should leave it at that for now.
