SGS3 VZW Devs. - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I just want to say thank you. I seriously had second thoughts on this phone, but not for the same reason as all of the spastic idiots crying of the locked bootloader. It was because of those people period that made me want to get rid of this. The phone isn't even out yet and way too many people have underestimated your ability, whether you chose to make this much progress as a f u to Verizon or all the babies that fled to another phone because they thought you couldnt do anything, it really doesnt matter. For all those that helped and will be continuing to help. Thank you. Thank you. I don't care if anymore progress is made even. The fact that you do what you do for free (as most people seem to forget) deserve thanks as well. Great job!

The thank you actually goes to all devs for any device as well. You all are amazing. If it wasn't for you. I'd be stock

I agree thanks to all the devs including Verizon for development. The phone doesn't launch till Thurs on Verizon and I still am shocked how much was accomplished in one weekend!

I want to add my thanks as well. I understand that you put your valuable time into this work to open the phones to us and allow us to enjoy them in a way that the carriers would never allow if left to their own devices. I have donated to the developers of my favorite roms and kernels and I will continue to do so in the future.
Thank you.

I agree. Thank for the support Design is spent some time in IRC last night and was happy to see the progress

In addition to thanking all the devs for their work, I also want to thank Samsung for seemingly intentionally not locking it down as well as they could have. It's hard to believe that they intentionally require boot.img and recovery.img to be signed to flash in Odin, but not system.img.

Agreed, there are a lot of thanks in order here. The dev community turned my Droid1 from a funky new smartphone (my very first) into a powerhouse that rocked for years and years. The fact that that very same community of developers, testers, and fans is still here, now, on these new devices is incredibly uplifting and makes me feel glad to own an Android.

Here, Here, a Hardy thanks to all for your hard work and time.

Absolutely shout out a huge thanks. I'm going to have to set aside some cash for donations for all this hard work you guys are putting in on this device. Being new to Samsung, I am very excited to see this community headed in the direction it is now.
Awesome work guys!

Bump just to say thanks again

I definitely agree with everything you said. This is an amazing phone without rooting and unlocked bootloader, but that's just icing on the cake. Made this phone that much more better.

^^^+1000 all of the above.
If it weren't for all of the hard work and dedication you guys put into these projects, without expected compensation, many of us wouldn't have the foundation for one of the greatest hobbies ever. It is your efforts that have given XDA a reputation for the most innovative and badass communities on the web, and it is my hope to learn development to be able to contribute to the success of these devices and AOSP, even if only to give back for what I have learned here. You guys rule and thank you

Thank You!!!!

I just wanted to take a minute to say thanks to all of you and to my Team(Team ACS). The thoughts, prayers, donations, etc.... have meant so much to me. I've been really down lately. I'm depressed, scared about having the surgery and about how to pay my bills and not being able to develop for you guys has been especially tough to deal with. That was always my way of escaping and now it's gone. I was going to use the donations I received to try and buy another but I had to use it to pay some bills. So it looks like the phone will have to wait. I am trying to sell a Kindle Fire to use the money to put towards another device. I was going to trade it for a TouchPad because my daughter wanted one but for one it would consist of adding in money which I really don't have and two I really want another phone. But enough about my problems and more about all of you. What you guys have done for me will never be forgotten. Not to sound like a baby but I often cry thinking about it. I never knew I had so many people that cared about me. So thank you SO MUCH!!!! I hope to back with all of you soon
You're welcome Tiffany! Wish the best for you!

Just wanna say, Thank you.

Just wanted to take a moment and say thank you, not only to the amazing devs that have helped me out thus far, but also to the flashers, testers, and the rest of the infuse community. As a beginner dev i had no clue what i was getting into but through all the help of the senior devs i have come along way, so far the rom i released has gotten high praises and that means a lot to me. I started development on my rom to learn, progress and share. And so far its going exactly that way. You guys and your support is what keeps me going and wanting to learn/do more. Keep up all the good work, and keep up the amazing support guys. Thank you to everyone. Have a great night/day!

Yes, I appriciate you all for your hard work.
I want to thank all the devs too, that have contributed to fantastic work to make my Infuse 4G run smoother and fast. Most devs have taken out all bloatware and installed great apps to make my phone run at it's best performance. 1000 thanks, "I am so very grateful".

The beer fund is probably the reason why there are little bug in the roms....one hangover, you putting the wrong file in the wrong folder and BOOM........Bluetooth is not working!!!
I'm just kidding we know most of you work better when you are drunk
Donate guys donate it's very important

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:

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.

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.

I develop and these threads don't annoy me. The title stats "thanks" you can simply not read these threads if they annoy you, no need to hate just because got a new device and is thanking this community before heading to the new one.
Hope to see everyone at the sg4 eventually as well. Once I can ever afford one I'll be grabbing one.
This is why we have a general section.
Congrats on your new phone
So many personalities with different reactions to your post as expected. Hope you enjoy your new S4. See you around.
I can understand that these threads can be annoying, but this is why we have a general section. I like to thank the devs because I'm sure they appreciate people letting them know that they're making a difference and doing great things.
