Goodbye :'( - HTC Desire S

Last night my dad surprised me with a new Sensation XL. Which is great, but it means I will be saying goodbye to a great community the best on XDA... Let's hope the XL forum is just as friendly. I would like to say a special thankyou to Lowveld for helping me develop my own ROM which sadly I was never able to release. I know I've been a very insignificant part and have only been in this forum for a little while but its been great.
Best of Luck,
Zachary

Bye Zac!
It was my pleasure to answer your questions and helping out, as little as I did. It's always nice to meet inquisitive people, willing to learn and try stuff on their own!
I'm sure you'll do nicely, wherever you may go. But hey, you don't have to fall out the face of the earth (which could happen, with you living in Australia and all). Drop by once in a while!
Cheers

Thanks

I'm suprised devs are still interested in these old devices. Thank you devs!
I think the most of us just dont have a choice
I really love my phone, I'm trying to get the most out of it. A lot of people seem very, ...uneconomical when it comes to phone upgrades. I've almost had mine for three years. I only pay $20nzd per month for my phone bill, and i'm not on a contract, so I just tossed some money to the side every month and racked up enough for a Nexus S.
I agree!
Thing is, its not just the G1 being kept alive, magics are well and truly alive and kicking due to this brilliant bunch of developers.

lol yeah, i basically have no choice like rushey said.. lol cant afford an upgrade and currently owe tmobile wayyyyyy to much money lol so ill just keep the g1 untill i hit the lottery
I can't agree more, the g1 dev community is the best it has ever been since the device has been about. Every dev currently making roms are the best since 3 years and thats a truth.

I love your idea, I am in about the similiar case. LOL!
I've been on my G2 for about a year now, but I just dug out the G1 today for a project. I'm going to use it as a development phone so that I can play around with ROM and Android stuff without having to always wipe my G2 or brick it!
So thanks again to the devs.

To Give Thanks To All Developers

I've been a member of xda for a few years now and have never really posted anything. Just wanted to give a big THANK YOU to all developers for all you guys do. I have an HTC Thunderbolt and I can honestly say if it was not for the awesome developers that dedicate THEIR time for OUR devices my Thunderbolt would be just another phone. Again I have never posted anything so if this should be moved or whatever you guys need to do with it is fine. Otherwise I hope that others will post their thanks here as well. You guys defiantly deserve it !! Thanks again guys! cdstrings

I couldn't agree more. This is my first post at xda, so I can't post in the development forum, but I've been lurking for quite awhile. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to all of the Devs and the guys here at xda that keep this site going for the benefit of all. I have learned a ton from the Devs and the knowledgeable regulars, and while I can't pay back the regulars, I do kick the Devs some cash when I have extra. Thanks you all!

the theft of a test device from droidforums, kanging, insults/challenges to other developers, numerous reasons really. the guy fled multiple forums to escape mention/reference to his past actions.

I bought my Thunderbolt the week it was released, and for me, Team Liquid has been its saving grace. If it wasn't for the seamless fluidity of Liquid Smooth 3.2 (and now Liquid ICS), I would have shattered this thing with a hammer long ago.
I know everyone is excited about ICS (as we should all be) but I'd like to give a shout out of thanks to Workshed , developer of Thundershed 1.6, which has been super stable, super smooth, and provided me with way better battery life. :thumbup:

Moving on to the GS3. Thanks for all the support here!!

Hi everyone,
I'd just like to say that as of today I have sold my One S and decided to move on the the GS3. Why? Mainly because I'm looking for something with a better and larger screen. And the fact that HTC doesn't give a crap about development for our phones. The crappy bootloader unlock has been pissing me off, especially since I am on hboot 1.14 and I have to test different ROMs very often, needing to flash in fastboot every time. Without S-OFF, this phone can never archive its full potential, such as repartitioning the nand so that more GBs are allocated for personal use.
But this doesn't mean that I will completely stop developing for the One S. I will continue to update the ParanoidAndroid and AOKP JellyBean until or if they become official. I can't be the official device maintainer though. But the builds will keep coming and shouldn't have any major issues other than the ones in CM10. The kernels, however, will probably remain how they are now because it is nearly impossible to blindly develop and debug a kernel.
Thanks for all the support here; it was TONS better than the Galaxy Player community. I appreciate all the helpfulness and attitude in these forums and what a great dev experience I've had here.
thanks for all your work. I want the gs3 to but can't justify the price
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
Oh wow unexpected! Hope you'll love your new device! I'm sure you'll be very missed around here.
Glad to hear about AOKP. I really want to use it in the future!
Thanks for your work for the One S!

Oh boy. This is a great loss for the One S community. Good luck with your new device. I know I am never buying a new HTC phone. Either a Nexus or a Samsung.

Thank u so much and enjoy with your new phone. But now I feel sad, because your kernel gives me sooo goood battery life and a very smooth phone... You didn't make the two cores to be online like the other kernel here.
So what will I do when the jelly bean come to my phone, and some new updates?? I won't have your kernal anymore.
Now there is only one kernel which I prefer not to touch, only because of the dual cores which are always online.
Also there is not much devs here... I don't believe we will see other kernels here.
So you bought a new phone and that's great for you... But I feel that we lost someone very important - you ;(
Anyway, thanks for your amazing work here.

Alright no problem.
Hi Klin, i've been using your kernels and they've been rock solid.
Thanks for everything that you've given to the one S community.
It's a pity that you're leaving, but oh well, no one will be using the same phone forever anyway.
I do agree with you that the half ass unlock is a deal breaker.
Good luck, and i hope you will continue to enjoy development with the GS3 community.
Cheers!
Yeah, you've done a ton for us One S users, but I can't say that I blame you. I'm just holding out for the Note 2

Klin--
I can only echo the replies of my fellow XDA members. You are one of the best devs here and always very helpful.
I too will be moving to the Note 2 in February when myTMobile contract expires and moving to Verizon. Tired of pitiful coverage in Dayton Ohio.
Good Luck

I heard the S3 is cursed. You should probably get rid of it and get the 1S back. You know, for your own protection.
Just kidding. But seriously, please don't go :crying:

Thank you all for the best XDA community!

I usually wouldn't make a post like this but this has been by far the best community I have been a part of since having the EVO 4G a few years ago. I don't always post replies but I'm constantly reading the posts and all of the great advice and tips all have posted have been great. Also the amount of maturity and professionalism is top notch here as well! I hope to see you all on the ATT One forums in the near future!

Yeah - I've had a few different devices and been in a few diffeernt XDA forums and his one is pretty good.
We can thank developers like utkaar099, turge, scrosler, bpbear and rohan (amongst others) for taking the time to provide excellent support for the roms they create. Guys like exad and redpoint73 are also very patient and helpful in spreading their knowledge and advice.
Enjoy it while it lasts though - I think we might lose a few to the HTC One......
I have to agree . I thought those guys on the captivate and Atrix HD forums were good , but the guys on the one x forums have taught me so much , not to mention saved my phone twice !

OK I am having Happy Gilmore flashbacks. "I AM GOOD! You know what? You're a lousy kindergarten teacher! I seen those finger paintings you bring home and they SUCK!"
Alright seriously though, I have only kicked around the HP Touchpad and HOX xda forums and both of them are great. The TP dev'ing is slowing down just because its an older device but the thing didn't even come with Android so its a miracle that they even got it up and running. The fact that CM10.1 is currently semi usable is amazing.
For the HOX dev folk, its great(er). I have people ask me all the time what handy dandy new phone they should get but I keep telling them to get a last gen phone and come to XDA like I do. The HOX devs pump out so many great rom choices that can be used as (and are in my case) daily drivers. Sure I bounce around a bit but thats because I'm an unrepentant flash whore. With the inclusion of pie controls, ribbons and most recently HALO, the amount of customization is... alright I ran out of adjectives. Suffice it to say, THANK YOU dev community!
I can beat you all. I came from the htc vivid forums. Nuff said lol
