Goodbye s2 : moving to s3 - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Just ordered new s3 from target on 199. No rebates. Cases from ebay.
Being lil more dramatic but thought i must say thank to this forum for such great time with s2 .
Thank you great dev like TDJ and Whitehawkx and all other devs for making this phone such great. Without you guys this would be so incomplete.
Hope to see you guys there too.
Have a wounderful development ahead.

Thanks for the welcome guys. The new malice will be a 4.0.x build. I will be working closely my brother br1ck'd. I'm going to take my time with this build, so it might be a while before I release anything.

No, he is still rocking the vibrant. But he has cooked an ics rom already so he will be of great help to me. Heathen is mia. I haven't heard from him in almost a year. He was a great guy, always down to help out. I miss him.

Why I love XDA

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.

Yep!
XDA = Good stuff (especially the E4GT community)
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.

Thanks for bringing that up because along with the Devs and Themers I really should've added the every day ordinary posters here on XDA. Many of you guys make me laugh, often and a lot, but you also help me along in the learning process.
So my thanks to all of you as well.

Just a friendly hello

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:

Welcome and congrats on the new RIG. Your gonna luv this phone bro. Look forward to seeing ya around..

Would YOU give your S2 to someone you didn't know?

Whitehawkx does not own a T989.
With JB, AOKP is starting fresh, building the code from the ground up. With no member on Team Kang owning a T989, our JB prospects looked dim. You can read what our future would have been like here.
A lot of people talked about doing something. A lot of people talked about donating to a pool for WHX to get another T989. One person did it. You can read about his decision here.
You can read about the result here.
Not only does this radically affect AOKP, this also affects CM and other AOSP variations. All the teams collaborate together on this.
In the end, this isn't about bringing a new version of software to our phones so it can do 1001 things instead of 1000. It's about giving and giving back. Jangst123 and WHX have given to us. Let's give back. Round of applause for these two and every other dev and good person on these forums. It's not all bad
Depends on who it is. Someone that isn't a dev?
Hell No.
Whitehawk?
Honestly, no since I wouldn't have a phone to use if I did.
I'd toss a few bucks into the pool to get him one.
I think we had something going with the donation pool and for jangst123, to step up he deserves some compensation. Then again, I know he did NOT do it for the money. He did it for epicness!
The AOKP decision wasn't a surprise with milestone 6+. I honestly don't know why they would even carry devices they don't have to troubleshooting. It's just common sense to me.
Great to hear. White is a great Dev and will do something awesome, I'm sure of it.

Regardless I've never HAD to pay for any Rom I've flashed. Should there be a limit for how many phones are donated to any dev? Developers provide a free service in their free time.... for all us addicted flashaholics.

Farewell, fellow Galaxy users

It's truly been a pleasure being a part of this community. There's so much development and support here. Despite a lot of bickering and nitpicking from certain people, it was definitely beneficial for me because I learned a lot. I'll miss my S2 but the HTC One was just too good of a phone to pass up.

Both phones are amazing. You can't go wrong wrong either way. The only cons I can think of is AT&T locking down the Ones boot loader and the GSIV possibly not getting official Cyanogenmod support.

In the GSIVs defense, its amazing compared to the s3. Its much better all around, with hardware that more than doubles the US GSIII variants and a design much more reminiscent to the Note 2 than the GSIII. The One is amazing too. Don't know about the build quality anomolies though.. the GSIV may be plastic but it sure doesn't have build quality issues like the HTC One.

If we allow everyone posting about "good-byes" from one phone to another, the threads would be full of nothing more than that type of "good-bye" or "hello" stuff.
This is a development site. Not a place for opinions of one brand over another which lead to hard feelings or arguments over device loyalty. Leave that stuff for social media websites.
