Hi everyone!
As of today, I am no longer an owner of an Android phone. Yes, I have gone over to 'the dark side' (Apple) and gotten an iPhone. Many of you won't recognize my name, but I wanted to thank all of the Infuse devs for their hard work and generosity! I've been a part of (at least lurked) a few android dev forums on XDA, and I think the Infuse dev section is probably the nicest and most friendly one I've encountered. This isn't just for the devs, but for everyone else - THANK YOU for your friendliness, helpful attitudes, willingness to post and answer questions! This is somewhat of a model for how other forums should treat its members and I'm glad I got to be a part of it.
Thanks again everyone!

Don't blame you, I'm actually waiting for the iPhone 5 myself, except that it comes out in June 2012 and my upgrade is in January 2013 The infuse is awesome though
Hmm... I didn't know the iPhone 5 was coming out this summer... Good thing I didn't use my upgrade to get the 4S today, just a craigslist trade. Lucky for me my upgrade is actually IN JUNE!
Probably should have posted this in the general section. But anywho.. Hehe no problem man take care, stop by once in a while to say hey or pm me

LMAO my upgrade's (my mom's initially) isn't until August of next year :O. Oh well, by then I will hopefully be steady learning in college .
I was actually going to post in General, but I figured I wanted to do it in Dev section cause I never really went in any of the others and you guys in dev were really the ones I wanted to thank.
i still dont see the use of this post, but farewell. Peace sir
Not gonna bash in anyone's options or choices ....but I came from an iPhone 4s ....don't get me wrong they're amazing phones...really good phones...amazing display camera apps etc...
But it lacks customization even jailbroken...which is I came back to Android ....but all is well that ends well so have fun with it and best regards
Have fun dealing with itunes. Poor bastard.
Have fun with it; that includes and IS limited to: one keyboard, one browser, one rom, one theme/icons set, one..er..no widgets or app drawer, one clock speed, 3G speeds, and timely updates/itunes. (can't totallly bash lol)
Regardless of how AT&T brands the 4S, its still 3G (Don't let the name confuse you as it has some of my friends)
/rant...
Android is for ppl who like to change up their phone; when I get tired of looking at a certain set up, I change it and boom, its like a new phone. iOS is just a solid OS that's easy to use, that's what a lot of ppl want.

Midgetgrimm that is. Hello XDA, finally after hearing enough times of "check the xda" or "it's def in the XDA" I figured I'd swing in and see what's up. I'm somewhat new to the nitty gritty stuff, but I can hold my own. I run a DarkSlide Rom on my Rooted Droid X with custom boots and it's super stable. My girl is getting a new smartphone tomorrow, I think I am more excited as it will be a new phone for me to learn and Root. Well I hope to have a growing post count, so I will see all of you soon.
That's great, glad to have you. If you haven't already, be sure to get the XDA app from the market because.. well it's pretty awesome lol.
But yea man, what type of phone is she getting? You are aware of the phones from CES and upcoming MWC right?

Hey thanks. I just dl'ed the XDA app. I love tapatalk. She isn't sure and I don't wanna pressure lol. I think she'll go with and Android OS its just which one. Personally I wouldn't mind playing with the new windows phone. I used have an Omnia and I loved flashing and teching that phone. I really love Android, all the fun and its growing market and its openness to the people is just Wozniakish circa 1980's. Lol. Thanks again.

hello, grimm..
Hello Grimm
I had a friend come over last Friday and she asked me a question about her Facinate...I teased her for having it cluttered when she replied with "Do whatever you want to it...I don't care." That made me smile. I didn't have time to do much to it, but shes coming back over this week and I plan on doing a bit more to it.
I too am curious what Grimms girlfriend got though.

Lawl I'm starting to see why the mods made a whole new forum for the iPhone, instead of integrating it with xda. xD
It's like segregation you know. xD
Haha thanks everyone! So my girl got the Continuum and yes she will let me play with it but only minimal surgery is allowed. Prob a root maybe a rom. Im really interested in learning to change the bootani's. Well hello bak to all. Im sure we will all meet again somewhere on these forums

I was involved in the HD2 forum before Android on SD was a wild spert from a dev. and the community over there needs no words of compliment (it is a given) that they are awesome.
Then I traveled on to the G2 forum where the contributions there were amazing as well.
The Question:
Is the Samsung Galaxy S 4G community the WORST anyone else has had the misfortune of dealing with as well?
From:
Jumping ship and advertising other handsets
To: Opening the most rediculous threads Only to lead another person on.
And: acting like IPhone users.
Yes this certainly comes across as a rant , AND I expect to get Flamed from those who are true to XDA and the XDA Community. BUT I really need to know.... Is it me? or does this little SG4G Community Suck?

I must say I was really expecting a bunch of crap, BUT. You have enlightened me. So far I have gotten a good chuckle and understand a little more about the issues. Thank you XDA peeps... But keep it coming...
Maybe this would be a good thread for the Venting, to avoid other space from getting clogged up.
And btw , one of the poll of the OP being a dumbass was my vote LMAO

Srsly, please, just don't....
Yes I agree with the original poster. I had this phone for about a week before I returned it because of the aforementioned reasons with this forum. Even offered to send my phone to a dev but got nothing but f'd up attitude from most everyone involved (besides the dev)! If I'm gonna have an android I want a community surrounding it that does not spend all day "DER DER #$% this is in the wrong forum, we have nothing else better to do but ***** @ everyone for attempting to get this community started!"
On a personal note, it sucked extra cause I had just sold my vibrant shortly before the 4g release cause that community also had seen its downfall in the past few months itself. Came over here to see this fledgling little group trying to get off the ground but not being in any way at all welcoming to any real thought provoking conversation. How dare we ask questions and talk about our phone!
As awesome as a phone as this is, it just does not appear that its ever gonna be a dev phone. Wish the opposite was the truth. Samsung is partly to blame for that also.

Did someone say iPhone ... lol... oh no so that's why Apple is suing Samsung ... we copying not only their phone but the owners attitudes as well... lol...
I'm just joking, trying to lighten the mood...
Back to the subject I think what affected this phone was that it came out too late after the Nexus S and too close to the G2x... I think if it had the extra space of the Vibrant we would be as good as that community ... or if it ran gingerbread ... but oh well... we do have less issues than the lather phone I mention...

I think it's just a few who think themselves "forum police". I honestly hope this doesn't turn into the "vibrant" forum's. Please TRY, I know it's hard at times, to be friendly to ANY one. New to old, dumba$$'s to dev's, try to treat them all as you would want to be treated (except for you self deprecating, masochist's ).
I always see everyone complaining about the Vibrant forum, I don't really see anything wrong with it. Or was it something that happened in the past?

I dunno, I'm technically savvy. I did alot on my G1 in terms of mod'ing. Google Experience phones are designed for that.
Anytime you get a phone with a customized rom though things change up a bit. Hence, the G2x is gonna get alot more in the community because it's a fairly stock build/experience.
I knew this when I bought the SGS4G. I like the screen (amoled), the speed etc. I'll probably get the urge to do some heavy mod'ing at some point, but for now I'm happy.
That's just me.
Sure this was a bit of a rant and like most could have been titled a little better. BUT atleast its not in the dev area. If this community keeps being stupid, can Mr. Clown close the whole thing, I don't want him too! But dumb asses keep creating thread that had answee before sgs4g even existed. Hence the sgs4g deal in the vibrant, I mean its not even a question when the answer was where they looked to create thier feeble attempt to go around krylon. Man give him a break! ****!

Wow, back for less than a few hours and HOLY HELL, it went from bad to worse, Now I have to figure a way out of this phone again!!! My Fiancee was content with it but she is a regular phone user.

I guess the real xda-developers knew better, thats why they stick with htc.
I expect some flames and I already know who it will be coming from, just reading a few posts.
I introduced a few people to xda and sadly enough ones first experience was here is this so called community and I now understand why he gave up. And what happened to the only worth while dev (as far as I can tell) Krylon. HE WAS A REAL XDA DEVELOPER.

what issues are you having and sorry you feel as if the rest of the devs other then krylon dont meet your expectations.
I don't get it. What problems are you having with the phone? Why are you complaining about the community? If it's a problem, there are plenty of other forums on this phone (rootzwiki is pretty popular nowadays ). I get that it's frustrating sometimes. I get frustrated too, but please don't project that thought to the entire community. I help out here and there and I get flamed from the very people I help. But one again, let's just calm down. If you guys have an issue with the phone, just search and then post about it. I usually answer my pm's...as quite a few of you already know...

I can only judge it by what I have gotten out of it.....currently my SGS4G runs faster, cooler, and stays charged longer than stock. The audio is better, I'm running GB and I got my choice of 9 lock-screens etc, etc....
Ok, back to the drawing board!
I feel like such a dueche, I was really tired and my expectations were very high! I wasn't ready for any challenges and got very frustrated.
I only woke up this morning to see a kind friendly community among the SGS4G crowd. I guess I got spoiled over on the HTC side again.
My issues are that I feel like I am back at square one... Example: Flashing an EXT4, the only thing I could find was a universal zip for another phone which did not work. I really just need to put some time back into this like a noob again.
Once more I apologize and might just need to delete this thread for the sake of y'all being so nice... Uhg I feel like such an ass lol
lol dude, just take your time. I'm fairly new here myself, and don't find it all that bad. There are lots of guides out now to help you get through flashing a new rom, and there is always someone who is willing to help (I see Jager, FB, dsexton, and Raver in here a lot helping out people).
Anyway, just spend some time reading about the ROMs we have in the dev section now, and find one you like.
btw, getting ext4 on froyo is as easy as flashing the bali kernel in cwm. works great with any froyo rom (including stock). GB roms tend to be a bit tricky, but you'll get it if you follow one of the guides.
Put it this way, my SGS4g, NOT overclocked is running 3X faster than it did stock (according to quadrant) on one of the new crop of GB roms that are out now and is currently on 25 hours of uptime with 65% battery left.
and in case you haven't seen it yet, this thread is gold:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117554
What ROM are you trying to flash? I am currently on bionix frost and I love it completely. Runs on par with the GB roms. If you want some GB, look into icbinb GB or whitehaks new ROM. But let us know what you want to do and we can point you in the right direction...

As some of you may have noticed, I have been very inactive in the Android world over the past month or so. I wanted to take the opportunity to let everyone know what is going on.
My wife is 8 months pregnant, and starting about a month ago she has been having some issues. Nothing too serious, but it means we have to go to the doctor several times a week to make sure she and the baby are not getting worse. She is also not supposed to leave the house if possible. As much as I enjoy the playing around I do with Blackhole, my family has to come first.
The Baby could be born any time now, and I simply don't have the time to devote to Android like I used to. I will admit that what little free time I have left now goes to extra sleep (cause I know I won't be getting any for a while after the baby is born). Lets face it, I'm no Adrynalyn or Jcase. For me Android has always been a hobby, and I do what I do mostly for myself, but just decided to share it.
I do plan on getting back into things once my life has settled down a bit, and if something major happens (Official GB upgrade anyone?) I'll try to make the time to release an update, but don't expect anything from me for a while.
I want to say thank you to everyone who has supported me with kind words, donations, suggestions, testing, bug reports, etc. over the past 9 months or so since I started developing on the Fascinate, and I want you all to know how much I appreciate you.

True enough, and we certainly have our share of drama queens, but overall I think the user base for Android, and especially those active in the Modding community, are much more understanding when it comes to the important things. Sure we've got people who will pitch a fit if things don't go their way, but I've seen nothing but support when I'm letting everyone know that I'm taking a major break. No "But wherez my r0mz dud3!!", just well wishes and genuine concern.

Gutsy is how I roll. Plus the Atrix HD really competes with the high end devices since it has the same Snapdragon S4 as the Samsung Galaxy S3 and the HTC One X. Ran a Quadrant benchmark test and pulled a 4,750 without any real customizations yet. Also, this display...truly gorgeous, one to behold!

Torn between hijacking a thread and cluttering up the main page with a new one - chose the hijack. I'm so sorry, MagicXB!
I also am leaving, after such a short time here! Speaking of the Xperia ion, that's the one I am going with. AT&T finally got tired of throwing A2's my way to fix my reception problems and gave me a free warranty upgrade. I chose the ion for a lot of reasons, and I think I'll be happy with it.
I got really into following the community here and have been excited to follow the projects that are ongoing. The dev community here is excellent, and I'm convinced good things will be around for this phone for awhile. Unfortunately, with AT&T getting rid of support for this phone, I feel like you'll see people like me dropping off - they won't have any more A2's to give out!
Thank you all for your help and time.

Going with the Xperia Ion seems to be quite risky to me. The hardware itself looks quite beautiful but it launched with Gingerbread onboard, and in this day and age of countless phones coming out I would be worried about it even seeing ICS (much less anything after that).
To be honest, I obsessed over this decision for awhile. The One X was my main competitor, but I don't like not having expandable storage, and I've had really bad experiences with HTC phones before. The Atrix HD is pretty, but it just didn't feel right to me. And the Galaxy S3 looks like a cheap piece of plastic from my childhood and I hate the Samsung UI (not to mention the off chance that Apple manages to run Samsung into the ground).
ICS is great, but it's not everything. Sony has been really good about updating older phones to ICS and I have no doubt this one will get it soon enough. And if it doesn't, the Sony UI incorporates some of the more important elements of ICS already. I think it's a really nice phone, well made and I'm hoping I'll enjoy it. That said, I'm sure there are more than enough people here who think I'm insane, lol .
Hey guys! I just wanted you all to know that I have finally moved away from the Thunderbolt.
I wish you all the best of luck with the development! Thank you to all of the developers who still carry on development for the device. Without you guys, I would have left the bolt over a year ago... but you guys kept it cool and worth staying with.
Also thank you to everyone who has helped me along the way.
I recently moved and the Thunderbolt no longer maintains even WiFi for some reason... so I was forced to move away from it.
Again, thank you all for everything!
Have fun with your new device.

Take care bud, was always a pleasure having you around!
Enjoy your new toy. :good:
See you around
Sad to see you go bud, was fun having you around, and a few of your posts really cracked me up (see dickmode). Enjoy your new device!
Haha! Yeah, we had some good times on here for sure!
Thanks for all the memories and help from all of you!
I'll still pop in every now and then I'm sure. Hope to cross roads again with you guys later on!
Take care everyone!
Well, I also left the ranks. My family has been pressuring me to get them their first smartphones, and by the time we were through at the cell phone store, I had one too. While I really was hoping to get the next great phone (eg, a Nexus 4x with replaceable battery, SD card, and LTE), we all went with what I think is still the best combination of size, speed, and features (replaceable battery, memory) while also having a community for future, um, er, rooting fun. The Samsung Galaxy SIII. I was tempted by the Note 2 but the thing is just too big; the S3 almost seemed too big, but it is also nice and thin.
Anyway, I will miss the Thunderbolt. I was really fortunate with my ROM choices (SOAB, Thundershed, and Santod's ICS Eternity). SOAB was a good entry to rooting, Tshed was bulletproof, and Eternity was fast, smooth and awesome in features and performance. But most of all I will miss the awesome developers who contributed to their talents and time to make the Thunderbolt better that what HTC and Verizon could ever do. And the great community here and on other bulletin boards. People like QuickDraw, who has always been quick with the advice or support.
I have some Thunderbolt accessories free for the asking. A Rezound battery. A slightly broken Platinum holster case in black (one small piece of the case broke off but it doesn't seem to effect the use at all and you wouldn't even see it if you didn't look) and a virtually unused PowerSkin case. Let me know if you want em and I will ship them to you. At some point I may even give up the Thunderbolt itself.
Thanks again everyone...

Ooh! Which device are you on now? I hope you'll come visit us Bolters every so often. Perhaps we should make an Off Topic Bolt thread hahaha. Anyway, I hope it works out for you! I'm still new to Xda, but I'll miss you! Hahaha
