When did this place stop being fun? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

Serious question?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk

I went back to your first post (April20th) and you said "xda was the worst forum ever." So, in your case, I'd say it never was fun.

My first post? Really? My first post was years ago brother!

You're coming at this at the wrong angle, bro.
Trolling is fun...subtlety is the key.

I make great threads that are funny and spark engagement and they get deleted....... I post this and ask it to be deleted and it's still here? Absolutely nothing ass backwards going on there at all right?

To be completely honest, back in Windows Mobile days when I joined, this forum was pretty much under the radar and wasnt as mainstream as it is now, it used to be booming with energy, now I look at today and its completely dead in my eyes in terms of ROM development, unless maybe thats just this phone and other recent devices have more attention, but previous phones I've owned had a lot of updates for ROMs and even some ported over goodies and that got me into becoming a flash junkie, and people would actually answer my questions that was never asked before on the support threads and etc. nowndays people go on about different things and not answer your question(NO OFFENSE to anyone) but things change so I cant really do much about it, just thought I'd bring this out since this is thread relating to "Used to be Fun"

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.

Wanting to learn!!Developers/Themers

Hey I'm Sam some of you know me some of you don't but I'm looking for a developer /themer willing to teach me some things about theming/building ROMs I've been around the forums a little over a year. I flash ROMs quite frequently so I know what I like/dislike about ROMs etc. I can usually troubleshoot any bugs/problems that occur I help people when I can A short version of my story goes...I'm 30 years old have one child a boy Tyler 6 and I was badly addicted to drugs up until about 2 years ago I spent a month on life support and decided my son needs his father and I gave up using. I'd be lying if I said it was easy but I keep my mind busy with work my son and Android.I love the fact that its open source and xda is a great community where people share their knowledge and help each other out. Android/xda have been a very Huge role in my recovery I have 2 years clean!! I got my first android phone 2yrs ago and since then I've been flashing ROMs and following threads. What I'm looking for is basically someone who wld be willing to sort of take me under their wing and teach me how to theme/build my own ROMs I would really like to be able to give back to the community that had more or less saved my life. Someone that will spend time on gtalk etc. Sort of showing me how to do these things I am very eager to learn all I can I work nights so I'm free early mornings between 7-10 am and all weekend if you would be willing to help me just pm me please I've read tons of stuff but I'm the kinda person who learns better one on one I'm always changing my home screen and enjoy theming it with other peoples work but I feel I have some great ideas that I would like to be able to contribute myself.. Thanks for listening if u did read this..

I read the reviews. People say its good for beginner's, but most said if you ever flashed a ROM before, then you don't really need that book. Most said its for people who don't even know what ROMs or root is..
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
It covers theming and dissection of ROMs as well as Linux commands it is a lot more advanced than just rooting. I read it cover to cover any moneky can root a phone they don't need to write a book on it.
If you grab the title of it go to Google and append eBook or PDF to the end you might be able to find the book or a sample chapter so you can read it online see if you like it before you buy

It was meant as a simple statement/expression of relief, true it could have been in a different forum. When you get/have a girlfriend of 8 yrs with two children (6-2) and you get a "break" hope yours goes without feeling the need to post your relief. And yes ive been married too...also have a 19 yr old son and a 15yr old daughter....so....it was just a statement! And yes im sure it does baffle your mind...but if you didnt like what you read...dont post anything....move on....hmmmm....common sense! ?

The point is that you broke THE cardinal rule of xda - NEVER EVER EVER EVER post a non-development thread in development. Did I mention NEVER? So if I were you and you don't want the ban hammer, I'd be careful about giving attitude to the experienced members who try to set you straight.
Thread moved.
Congrats OP, now I will close this so you can have all the free time testing and flashing and not checking the responses in this thread.

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. Thanks to all the devs and mods. You guys don't get thanked enough so long everyone!

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.
