I have been playing around with my sweet new and rooted g-tablet for the last week, and I wanted to thank all the development for their hard work making this tablet scream.
It is a night and day difference between the stock firmware and the custom ROMs. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
+1000....great work folks!
Amen and Thanks from me as well!
I got my G Tablet during the Woot deal and had read how crappy it was until rooted. But I had no idea how many options and flavors I could have to "pimp out" my tablet until I dug into your forums and really tried to get the best out of it.
A big thanks to all the developers out there who work hard to make my tablet experience a good one!
I agree, thank you devs!!
Indeed. Thank you much.

It's kind of funny... before the Woot deal I didn't own an Android device and had never fooled with one before.
I took the plunge with the gTab based on the excellent devs going on here at XDA. In my search for a smart phone which would work with the gTab, I got an HTC Aria. Now that I've rooted my Aria and installed a new ROM on it (thanks to XDA!), I'm ready to root my gTab and choose a new ROM for it.
See what y'all have gotten me into ????
But seriously, I appreciate all the hard work that has gone into development of these ROMs. Now that I've stuck my toe in the water I can see how much fun it is, too.
I will chime in with my support for the developers too. I have yet to flash my unit with a new ROM yet but looking forward to it.
Agreed - a BIG thank you to the developers who are making this device usable...
I agree the devs here are fantastic. Thank you so very much
Thank you devs. I just picked up a Gtab at lunch today and I can't wait to dive into rooting and flashing a custom rom on this.
The only 2 reason that make I choose G-tab is good price and XDA-DEVELOPERS support it. Thank you devs
+1 on the thanks. I likely won't be keeping mine, but the ROMs here are nothing short of excellent. Good work, gents
No Problems after update 4349
Because I read and heeded the messages from the devs, thanks.
Man I gotta say that I am VERY proud to be part of the captivate community. We have alot of wonderful devs and determined people here! With CM7 and MIUI maturing to a rather stable usable state, and I9000 sourced 2.3.3 roms chugging away, things are just getting better and better here all the time :].
Ditto.

I love how active and changing it is. It seems like every developer here is always hard at work to perfect and update their work, something other phone communities don't seem quite so set on doing. I only wish I had enough programming experience to contribute more than downloading, enjoying and reporting the occasional bug, because the more bustling the better.

+1 This seems to be a very close knit community. The devs are quick to respond to changes in software, and tend to, for the most part, show an inspiring amount of patience. I am Proud to be apart of this.

You can help them out in the forums, if someone asks a question you know the answer to answer it, the devs really appreciate not having to micro manage the thread and while they are busy with rom updates. That is what I did to help out, I'm now a member of team phoenix because of it.
Yeah if it weren't for the overwhelming community support this phone would be utter crap. Thanks to the devs we are all here.
yeah True, I wouldnt have liked my captivate so much if it wasnt for this amazing community, thank you guys so much
I hope to contribute in future, trying to learn eclipse...
Im proud as well. I have had my cappy since launch and its so cool to see how this community has grown, and the support from the chefs is great. Im always up-talking this forum to other owners that i meet that dont know the actual ability this phone has.
Now if it only was a light sabor too....
Same boat as broke ass college student so I do what I can with answering questions too.
I got my Captivate at the beginning of the year and I still flash ROMS updates as much today as when I first got it. Its because of all the choices that we have as well as updates (still can't believe we are able to run Gingerbread) that makes this phone great.
If and when I am ready to upgrade to my next phone, looking at the XDA development for the phone is going to sway my decision.

Can't be that broke if you can afford a captivate and beer. Heh
I gotta say I agree, most the people here are to cool. I haven't asked alot of question because I've taken the advice I've seen many times and read read read lol. But when I have asked I got quick responses and never a hard time for asking. So now I try to answer any questions I know the answer to so I can say I contributed somehow. I'm glad I can be a part of the community

NOT requiring you to donate, but for sake of more cool stuff for you/me, it would be super awesome. I did this NOT them!
I could throw some change their way...great Vibrant devs. Have they committed to develop if they get the phone? Might help to hear from them.
Anyway your BirgerTime Paypal link doesn't work.

White and I are dying to play with a new phone. We'll give it all we've got
(by the way, this was jface's idea, white & I didn't know he was doing this, thanks jface)
I will be 110% committed to development on the G2X. First order will be a multitude of lockscreens for everyone to choose from. Roman has been developing all kinds of status bar tweaks and such which can be viewed here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1123830.
Since the G2X is aosp based we will be able to do so much more with it. That and that fact that Roman is a java master. Needless to say, I dont think anyone will be disappointed.
BTW - thanks jumaan for getting this going.

Good to hear you guys are interested. I looked at some of your work and was very impressed. I donated a bit...will do more next week (after payday).
A note to everyone complaining about a perceived lack of development...devs can't afford to purchase every new device that they are willing to support (working for free). If you want more development, support it. Skip the morning Starbuck's and give a couple bucks...just my two cents.
just donated to both of you
hope you guys get the phone!
but while your waiting i have sgs4g favor to ask hehe
anyway you guys can deodex the GB rom with root inside please
i rooted the rom just cant get it to deodex
we are having problems
only if its not to much though!
much love for you guys work <3
Guys, I used birgertimes roms in the vibrant days and they were the most stable, eye candy full roms, that would fly. I'm down to donate when I get trip a computer. We need more developers.

THANKS!
they are both at $10 a pop 340ish to go!
Maybe everyone who is leaving to the sensation would be willing to sell theirs at a discounted rate
I will see about scrounging some cash to donate! More devs the better!
Alright, got 10 sent to Birgertime and 10 to Whitehawk. You guys rock and I can't wait to see what you guys can come up with!!!!!!! Trust me guys, they can make some KILLER roms!
will donate we need something new, f the sentation
If progress keeps coming as fast as it is now, they might have g2x's before the end of June!!
Thanks for the support guys. We will no let you down.
Bump. Come in guys. trust me, they will do amazing things for us.

I was a vibrant owner and sold them for the g2x....these two devs are the best at what they do.....lol this would change the game completely.......omg im so happy now..down with the sensation now boys
i made some douchebag comments bout donating when i first joined this forumz a couple months ago so imma send some in cause after flashing and using roms it reali is worth it
Alright guys... we al know we have spur of ports for us in the last few weeks, and then in the last week had 2 native roms being released...All of this was made possible by Dman, bigfau, and boostnsubaru(pm me if i forgot anyone)... and it really livened up our forum... but as we all know, there are new phones out, and no doubt alot of us probably want them.
So i'm making this post to try and keep these developers with us even if they want to venture into new phone territory. As we know dman his giving is infuse to his daughter and getting a skyrocket, but will still develop for us if we can donate one for him... he said he got 500 downloads in the first week of CatyRom... which i have really enjoyed... here is the link for it for anyone who has not seen it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1367377
If all 500 or so of us would donate less than a dollar, he would be able to buy another from anywhere he wishes, even though AT&T might not have them in stock, there is always ebay, craiglist or something like that, so please if everyone would donate 60cents, we could keep a great developer.
Now i am not trying to praise Dman, and leave the other 2 out... bigfau has also made a native rom for us, and ported plenty of roms over to us
Here is his native rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1375212
Boost ported over MitRa and MIUI, which itself sounds like a large feat
So lets try and show our support and donate to them to keep us alive... there are more than enough of us to do that
well i donated a little something to start it off the other day. hopefully others will follow suit.
I would donate to someone for cm roms but is on medical leave and its unpaid so doctor vists and no income has sunk me.

+1. Dman is like the new gtg465, we need him to stay and not go. He has done so much, without him the infuse development may sink some more. There are devs left, but they are slowly decreasing. I, for one am going to start. Just the problem is my infuse is pretty much bricked for good, and if the opportunity comes for me to go to the skyrocket or even plain gs2 because of my infuse, it will be taken. I will be getting either (and the gnexus too!) because my parents can upgrade. Hopefully my phone comes to a working state, I feel a need to dev for the android phone that introduced me to all. Whoops I blabbered too much lol.
I will donate when I get home

Donated to Dman - hope we keep him around. I don't normally get to post because I am a noob and haven't posted enough stuff in the right places to post on the dev page. Oh well - thanks for CatyROM Dman.
It isn't every day that a dev comes along who's as kind, considerate, and helpful as iB4STiD. For years, he's given to the community and put up with verbal abuse from trolls in a gracious manner. If he's going out, let's at least share some appreciation for him. Much love, iB! Thank you for your time and efforts!

Hear hear!
You will be missed man.
I'm running Goldfinger on my S4. Really great rom. I just wish some people wouldn't complain about a rom that someone put a lot of time and effort into. I can think of a couple people who need to just quit acting like they know everything when they clearly don't.
Good luck iB4STiD!! Appreciate your contribution to the community. There are plenty of reasons for anyone come and go but what matters finally is how much values one could add. Good job.
I don't have permission to post in the developer section (for good reason) but I enjoy his ROMs very much.
Thank you. Currently running Goldeneye ☺
We already talked and said bye iB, but I feel like saying bye once more. We won't have another developer like you around here maybe. You were the best developer of any device I've seen ever. There were a lot of devs I've seen for many different Android devices, but, you by far, are the best one I've seen yet. I hope you figure everything out and stuff. (We've already talked about this privately, but, as I said before in this post, you are the best developer to me.)

He is one of the best devs out there. Thank you for everything iB4STiD!!!!
Nuts. Out of the loop on what's going on, but it's sad to hear. Since getting my S4, his ROMs were the only ones I would run. I guess it's finally time to pull the trigger on that Nexus 6.
What did I miss!
You can't leave! Yours is the one ROM that has always installed quickly and without any headaches.
Hate to see you go.
EDIT: Found out your moving on to bigger and better things. YAY for you! When you feel bored and nostalgic...just knock out another outstanding ROM for us s4/5 users. Good man!
I've used a few different ROMs of his, and I've enjoyed them all. Not only is he a great developer, but he responds kindly feedback and requests and replies thoughtfully to requests for help from users.
Thanks, iB4STiD!
@iB4STiD you are the best my friend and there is no doubt you will be missed. Good luck, stay healthy, and try to get some sleep

Seems like I'm going back to building my own roms. Not a fan of mainstream branches they always have extra features I never use and so much custom code they run into new bugs.
Good luck man!
