Best Devs and Themers bar none can be found right here.
As someone who has trouble holding onto a device for very long (as referenced by me many times already) I've since found a serious love for (addiction to?) custom ROMs and themes. And here at XDA there are so many to choose from that every time I flash a new one I feel like I have a whole new phone in my hand. Usually by now I'm beating back a major craving to buy a new device but for once, since my smartphone buying days started, I'm content with my phone and okay to wait and see what's next. (just hate hearing about it for months in advance lol)
I hope you know the tireless work you guys (gender non-specific) put into these ROMs/Themes does not go unappreciated. If I'd paid more attention to XDA in my OG EVO days I might've avoided the mistake that was EVO 3D and enjoyed my OG EVO until my upgrade (the E4GT) became available.
Major kudos to all of you and thank you, thank you for your hard work and dedication.
Well said, my wife seen some of these roms and the themes that go with them then looked at her stock e4gt and finally told me to root and install blazer 4.1 ROM with ics sherbet theme. Now she has a new respect for xda and all the hard work these devs and themers put in for us all.

I feel ya. My girl just installed go launcher after three months and couldn't believe all the different things she could do. I know its bad of me to not mention it to her sooner but just like noobs in the forums, I knew I would be doing double time to help her. This way she moves into it at her own pace per se. I know I'm in for it when ICS is released. Even though it will have the same touchwiz feel, I can see that the reversed "ok" or "cancel" is gonna be enough to open a can. If you know what I mean. Lol.

I agree. The Et4g made me want to contribute. Everyone is friendly and they are a bunch of funny smart asses (You know who you are) Lol. I actually feel like i fit in. Plus is bar none the best SGS2 device across every other carrier.

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.

I don't buy any of it. Any leak we got thus far was because they wanted us to unofficially test. No one risked their job. When they want us to test the next build we will get it. Just like sextapes ID was created at time of leak another one will be created. No reason to apologize in hopes of getting a leak. Be thankful for the leaks we had and the time our devs put in to make them installable daily drivers

Hello, I'm not all that new to xda or rooting. I just don't have much to contribute to the forums by way of help or development. I recently switched from "big red" to Sprint. I've owned three HTC devices, HTC Inc I and II and the HTC Rezound (all rooted) thanks to the good people here on xda. I am in love with my E4GT and am currently on Calkulin's E4GT 2 ROM v1.6 fe22 and loving it. Prior to joining xda, I've gained a lot of knowledge from xda and I guess now it's time to say thank you all for helping me outta my own messes. I only wish I had more to contribute in return. Anyway, I wanted to introduce myself to the community and say, thank you and hello. cheers :beer:

I'm running Mind Trick right now, myself. What are the differences that you see from JMT to this ROM? rom looking at the description, it looks like it does not have some of the SGIII programs in it. I just came from a G2x and am blown away by wow fast this device is and how awesome the Dev's for it are (not that the G2x devs are not good).

For you guys that are new welcome to the family of flashaholics, It will become a daily activity to flash everything you see. I've lost 6 pounds since I first joined :silly:. Back on topic, the most precious thing is to try out new things. Try them all. That's the reason they are made. But of top of my head The Sith would be a better choice due to its base. (4.0.4) Now thats not to say that it wont have MINOR issues. Its as you all see, brand new. Think about it as car testing. You dont buy the first one you test drive. With that said enjoy you new toys (devices) you wont regret it.Last but not least, the one thing that needs to be reminded, 1)read 2)read 3)read!!!! Its very important. There's fail safe options but mistakes happen. Google is your best friend. <end rant... Once again welcome to the t989 family:good:
Thank you!

If you haven't already, read up on backups and your recovery app of choice. I've learned the hard way in just about everything I can try and remove to make any ROM slimmer then the dev produces just for personal preference and deleting the wrong piece can and will cause you to need to reflash hahaha. Happy flashing
