Hello all,
This is simply an introduction.
I've had my Galaxy S since May, yes first android, and XDA has been THE most visited/read site! (In all actuality this site is the reason that I still have my phone.)
I have learned so much that I feel indebted to this site and the developers that make this site what it is...
Though I would like to thank everyone by name... I just don't know them all, and they are many.
As smart as this community is as a whole, I'm certain you all know who I'm talking about...
So, from the bottom of my bionix black ice; bali 3.1uv; fugu + init.d7; oc'd to 1.5; ext4; bloat free Samsung Galaxy S 4g... THANK YOU ALL!!

Agreed this is the best place around. Also it helps that's most devs here are ahead of the game and the first to get anything android working

This site made me an odin expert, and I used to hate odin. Another thing is I've learned a lot on this site, and im learning more each and every day.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App

I have to say that this site along with my own experimenting has made me VERY familiar with odin. My phone performs so much better now because of the people here and there is always someone there ready to help when something does not go as planned. Thank you for this.

[Q] miui thread closed?

I haven't been in the loop for a few weeks but why is the thread closed, I read a few of the newer pages but didn't see a reason to close. Will it be back?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium

Yeah the infuses xda section is falling apart to be honest. I think that the moderator needs to completely wipe the Infuses section except for ROMS, modems, and other development tools. We need a fresh start at development. Does anyone elese agree? Or am I just ranting?

I completely agree. We need to send JordanElliott a big thank you card and see if we can get this ball rolling again. He's only been off the MIUI thread for 2 days and everyone is lost.

The infuse is falling apart, our development is ruined. We do have a few great devs, but not enough that can truly make this a good phone. New ports are coming everyday, but seems like people running the aosp roms (not me lol) seem to just want updates and updates only. Not to go hating on people, but please, please be nice and lets make this change!

It would be nice but I don't really see anything changing, too many new and better phones, it just seems the devs get bored quick and jump to the next best thing. Can't really blame them but it would be nice if the infuse could spake some more interest.

Man I would give it a shot if there was a video. Just to have a visual. :l
Infuse

Man I just spent 1hr finding out how to port. I give it to the Devs boy its time consuming.
Which I had the time to cook in the kitchen.

If any of you decide to take a crack at it let me know. I will gladly be a test dummy.

Dude you should do it. Maybe you could just release it every 2 weeks or so and then if anyone gives you any bull or something then just ignore them. I Understand how jordan got mad and there were people giving him crap, but shutting it down is like killing off a lot of people who loved it lol (I never tried it). I think there should be a main post stickied saying read this, and saying how if there is any bull, it will not be tolerated and you will be ignored. Someone should seriously do that haha!

There needs to be a weekly or even monthly port and no comments. If you have questions GO TO THE Q AND A SECTION! That way we can still get our sweet sweet rom and the douche bags can go flame else where.

I think more of us would step in to help after seeing what happened last time. That being said, the age for getting smartphones is getting lower and lower. There are a lot of little ****s on xda now, so the devs have to have a bit thicker skin IMO.

Going down hill.........Now we movin up!..

Seems like the Dev support for this phone is going downhill fast, I was wondering if anybody new where to find the link for romracers 0.3 kernel could be found?

Sorry but......your kidding right? And the link for the kernal you want is in the op of the kernals thread in dev section

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk

That's the response I expectected...but thanks for pointing to the 0.1 kernel! The 0.3 kernel (now called rom racers kernel was there) everyone is not a noob just cause they have a valid question...I've had this phone since the week it came out in November, I've rooted devices from a Nook Color to a Super Pad, and all those in-between. I actually exchanged my 4S for a skyrocket..(best thing I ever did) Ive flashed every rom and tweak for this device. I just get sick of idiots trying to make ppl look stupid for asking a valid question on these forums..:beer:
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

i would have to agree with you. i haven't had the phone for nearly as long as you have but from browsing around xda (specifically gs2 and here) i have to notice that by comparison development is much slower in this section.
disclaimer: this is by far not a complaint, just an observation. i love the development that IS currently taking place and am very appreciative of it.

What about search lol

I think dev work is kinda slow on alot of phones right now. I know it has slowed down on my nexus s because a lot of them are waiting for the new sources of ICS to be released. A lot of the developers are doing great work. I think once ICS rolls out it will take off. IMHO.

I wouldn't say activity is slowing. Although new releases are fewer now, there is plenty happening as far as cooperation and collaboration is concerned.

this x 1000, and said by a dev lol

I feel pretty good about what we have now. ICS will come eventually, who knows when exactly but it will come. I have two other android phones and a tablet that all run ICS very smoothly. But I still choose this gingerbread runnin beast everyday over all the others. In my humble opinion, there will definitely be some frowning faces on the day ICS is officially released for our device.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

Honestly its all just hype. ICS will come out and within 6 months we will be jumping to the next firmware. I think the community should put more focus on fully customizing and enjoying the capabilities of gingerbread. I really don't think we will be satisfied otherwise. That's why devs get turned off to making ROMs. They make something awesome and we use it for a week and then want more. So much greed!

not your typical "so long G2x" thread

hey guys, just wanted to say thanks for all the help i've received and the knowledge and info i have picked up along the way. the G2x was my first android device and i have spent many a night reading through posts to find out what i needed. i hope i was able to give back a bit here.
i sold my G2x so i could get a Galaxy S III so i will be over in that section of the woods (and the xoom section)
hope the G2x gets CM10 soon. i was going to wait and see when that came out but had to pull the trigger on the S3 before the deal got away from me
again thanks to everyone here who has helped me learn about what these Android devices are all capable of! see ya around!

Take care Dodgefan... Enjoy your new toy!

You have been great for the community. Have fun with your new baby.

The skyrocket dev community is awesome

I just wanted to say how much i appreciate all the help and support from you guys here in the skyrocket community. I recently went on to the optimus g to start deving for that phone and the community over there is horrible compared to how it is here. So i thank you, skyrocket community, for being awesome and showing how a dev community is supposed to be.
Cheers!

from a considered veteran in this section I can tell u that as long as u put in the effort to understand, we'll help. If u don't read the stickies or search, and are lazy and expect a spoon fed response, forget about it.
its all in the way u phrase the question. If your specific and show u read and at least tried I guarantee someone will help. Don't make it general, make it specific and ALWAYZ search.

I agree, this community is awesome. I don't have enough post here to post in the development area, but have flashed just about everyone's ROM at least twice. Any problems I have can be easily solved with a quick search of the Skyrocket sub-forum.
I'm on my 6th Android device, and this is the most supportive community I've seen.
