I just want to reach out and globally thank the developers that are working together on ironing out the issues they encounter in new software bases (such as the new Ville RUU) - this should serve as an example for all developers instead of the "glory seeking" that some do by wanting to be the only one who figured out how to fix a problem, and then whining when someone else "steals" their work.
Yes, I know, "use the thanks button," but there is only so much that a click of "thanks" can convey!
You are all appreciated for the work that you do and I for one am extremely thankful!
I am very grateful because of them my device is like no others it just rocks !! Everything works the way it should and updates are frequent really amazing dev support here

I'm also very very greatful for the instruction given so freely! Some sites are not so generous with information and they would rather play "high and mighty" but NOT XDA! They are WONDERFUL!
I also thank you!! I love my device now thanks to the genius developers! I'm very greatful!

This is a thread for thanks to those who've shared their time and work with this community. I'd like to take this moment to name some names and say "thank you" for making my Android and Thunderbolt experience better. First, I'd like to thank Chingyo51 for his ROMs. They've been my daily driver for about 2 years starting with incredibly re-engineered. I'd also like to extend thanks to Ziggy471 for his work on the Android kernels. Much thanks to Imoseyon and Nerozehl for their work on the gingerbread kernel, and to TwistedUmbrella for making script management of the kernel features idiot-proof. I'd like to thank Team BAMF for their development which has produced tools and dividends for other devs. I'd specifically like to thank jcase and adrynalyn for the hard work they've done in rooting this device and chasing down the issues with random bricking pre-MR2. I appreciate what all of you have done and you have my respect and gratitude.
This should be a place of respect and gratitude. If you'd like to publicly thank your favorite dev, please do so! I don't see any reason this shouldn't be one of the longest threads in this forum!
However I like the idea of having a haven of nice posts and friendly people, but why do you think we have the "Thanks" button?

Very well said loonatic. My ThunderBolt has become a new hobby of mine and I have the devs to thank. I've done my best not to clog up any threads with "thanks downloading now! "
I am concerned tho with how things have been here these past few weeks. All the negativity, flaming, devs leaving. Maybe some people shouldn't take all this stuff so seriously. For me this is just a hobby..... somethin to do for fun.
Again loonatic very well said and thanks to all the devs for making my phone awesome. Not sure if you mentioned DROIDTH3ORY or LIQUID they have been doing some really great work also and seem to be the most active on XDA lately.

Indeed the "thanks"button is good, but its not the more powerful statement saying it in your own words can be. Most of us know how things have been around here and I'd just like to add some positivity. If my friend were to cook me up something like A custom ROM, I'd be thankful as hell and I would be talking about it. I'd like to think of these guys on here as friends, just the same. I don't want foul opinions or negativity on this thread. I've noticed there's plenty of other threads for that.
I do like DroidTh3ory's work. I like his thoughts on how a ROM should be set up. I tried and earlier release and ill have to go back and try a newer one. Definitely good work and a valuable contributor! Thank you for pointing that out!
Nicely stated guys. I'd just like to thank all devs out there who put their efforts into making our tbolt experience a more enjoyable. Obviously, I cannot try everything out there, but I certainly appreciate that all of them take their personal time to do these things for us!
Thank you all.

Thanks to droidth3ory and xpack90. The've been awesome.
Hi guys,
I just created a site ( http://www.htcsensationroms.com ) that lists all the current HTC Sensation roms. The site tries to give a bird's eye view of the latest updates of each rom along with links to their threads.
The rom information is automatically refreshed from the "Sensation Android Development" thread every 15 minutes.
Let me know how to make it better!!
Please make it a little easier on the eyes on the top.
Alot of the stuff on the top didn't make sense. Only part I understood were the phones and roms in them, which was very creative. Nice job

So.......awesome!!!!!
Looks great man, nicely done

nice job!

Thanks! I used a page just like that for my old HD2. Looks exactly the same. Are you the same person who made that HD2 one too?
Awesome....one stop shopping.
P.S. I noticed you have the frankinstine rom showing "No" next to Sense.
I believe that is a Sense rom....allthough i think he has a no-sense flash over
Great! I really like your site for HD2.

Yep.
Yeah I've used his site for the HD2 also.
I put the link as the first post in the ROMs section of my stickied [INDEX] thread. I'll give it some time but I might just remove the custom ROMs section and drive all traffic to your site.
Thanks guys, I really appreciate your feedback. Here are my comments to your suggestions

- Sorry about the mess at the top... do you have any suggestions on how to improve it? you can send me a pm if you would iike
pnyppon
- I cannot get updates from modaco as my engine only synchronizes from XDA threads. I might modify it in the feauture if there is a demand
FreakyFerret
- Yes I am the same person who made the same for the HD2 android roms
mikeydee81
- Changed the frankinstine rome to 'Sense' yes as per your comment, thanks!

Excellent! I sent you an email from the HD2 page asking you to make a Sensation one. So, thanks! Even if you didn't get to that email yet.
I also gave you a thank you on the original post and your response. You should have a full Thanks meter in my opinion.
I would often check your HD2 page several times a day, and XDA only about once a week. You were my main source of news.
The following days I'll let you know about some feature of my site that you might not know.
Today's feature is : "Replies per day"
On http://www.htcsensationroms.com , below each listed rom, there is a value named "Replies per day". This is calculated based on when the rom was first seen by the site and the total replies posted in the Rom's thread.
This value is very usefull because it can very easily show you which roms are most active (the ones with the higher "Replies per day"). Also note that you can sort the list based on the "Replies per day" value.
The above feature is found on all 4 of ROM LIST sites (for htc sensation, galaxy s2, hd2 android and evo4g)
Just updated http://www.htcsensationroms.com/ with all the latest roms!, let me know if I missed something.
Also don't forget that there is an RSS feed on the page to subscribe to rom updates.
Maybe add a kernel section to it to see if there is a kernel update ?
Great job this is realy usefull to check for rom updates
Energy (Nov 22) is android 2.3.5 not 2.3.4
very useful site, thanks, just like the one for HD2.
I write this because I can't sleep.
No really because I feel anyone who feels the same should say so:
I am so very appreciative to all who dev for this phone. What you've done for this device is much more then bring us custom ROMs but you help anyone of us with problems we have regardless of the ROM we are running. Your awesome for staying and not quitting after 1 or 2 good ROMs ("tbalden") and you do it not for money but for us as a community.
For that I thank each of you, and can't express how greatful I am that we have so many new directions here recently.
Here is to you!!!! :beer:
Typed by ---- oh wait! I'm schizophrenic!
Yes, i second this! Thanks to all who have developed for this device, no matter how much or how little! Even if you have been rude, and condescending (you know who I mean), I am thankful for you all! I am very excited to see what you guys come up with next, and I will be donating as soon as I no longer have to choose between electricity and food!
:bump: DEVS RULE!!!!
im share the same feeling. i visit xda forum daily. just love how other people spend their time trying to help other people and just trying to make the mt4gs better!

I wanted to start developing for this phone too, but school and other obligations got in the way. I'll leave it to tbalden and the rest of XDA and rootz

There's no fun in that jk. But even if its small the users still appreciate the work you do.

I couldn't agree more. I have a disability, and DEPEND on my phone. T-Mobile support? Less than useful with all the problems I've run into. Thanks to the developers here, I am now able to customize my phone in the ways I need to manage my health.
Custom roms are great, but my health has improved because of the work people have put into this community. I don't think that's something people typically consider, and I'm not the only person who has benefitted in this way.
I am genuinely grateful. Thank you.

+1 and bump and whatever else I can do! I'm in complete agreement and thank you devs. I'm about to start learning to develop apps and whatnot myself and it all started here with me and my G1!
AND the amazing group of people who turned a hobby into a benefit to everyone they could help!

So I have been around the SGS4G for quite some time (at first was my gf's phone, now mine) and coming from the nexus forums to here is like night and day. I see constant begging and badgering to the devs, "when will this be done" or "why didn't you finish the ROM" and just constant bickering but never any real appreciation given. I think people don't realize how much time and effort these devs put into what they do and that it is done on their own free time without obligation or payment of any sort. Yeah you see ics Ports on lots of other phones even the old school ones like G1 and such but that in no way means it is "easy" to do what these guys do. Long story short, we should all be extremely happy and grateful for what we do have and that we have such great development and support from such great people. On behalf of all of the SGS4G community I would like to say thank you for all that you guys do, without you all of our phones would be extremely crappy and not fully functional. Keep up what your doing and don't let anybody tell you that your stuff isn't good enough (afterall they're not the ones doing the work) And one more thing, to all the noobs, dicks and unnapreciative people in our forum, stop with the nonsense and be happy with what you have.
Ok end of rant. Peace.

So tru man, u kno it would be incredible if everyone was polite, respectful, and thankful to and for all the things these devs and rom builders do... idk just sharing my hope for our community..
I agree the devs don't get much appreciation, but I have to say even completely stock my phone was an excellent fully functional device. It's just so much better with an unnamed ROM (or whatever your personal tastes dictate).
So thank you Samsung for making a good solid device for me to purchase, and thank you devs for giving me so many options to take my device even further above all things apple.

I think a large number of people would agree with you. The problem is in those members who refuse to read and learn from the forum, and instead they want something "cool", and want others to hold their hand.
I think there is a surprising amount of people who frequent this forum, and who greatly appreciate our devs and their hard work. I've been on XDA since the HTC Magic was released, but I have a low post count. I check the forum everyday, I just never have anything useful or constructive to say, so I choose not to clutter the dev threads.
I really appreciate the work that continues to better this device. Often, I feel like cringing when I see useless/ignorant posts, and it is a shame devs have to deal with it just to release their own work, and for free, and for the public to enjoy.
Thanks to the developers here, your phone is SIGNIFICANTLY better than it was when you took it out of the box. Don't complaints if you have to wait, because you'd still be waiting for Samsung, and you gave THEM your money.

I agree. This phone is awesome even stock but the one I have never acted right completely stock (you're always bound to find a rotten apple on the tree) but bring able to do more (like run gingerbread before it was even available) is all thanks to these wonderful people.

Well, I got my Nexus 5 today, and I'll be only using this phone as a music device on occasion, so I have to say... thank you. To everyone here who has helped me go from being a total android noob, to someone who knows way more about phones than I should. The evita community has been fantastic and helpful. I really felt like I was a part of something here. Maybe I'll still come by on occasion. It's been great. And a special shoutout to @timmaaa for being a cool and super helpful dude.

Oh, man, sad to see you go! Thanks for all the help you've given people in this forum, you're one of the few people that actually gives back to the community. Hopefully we'll catch up in another forum sometime. Have fun with your new Nexus, we'll miss you, buddy.
