[Announcement] Unfortunate news. - Samsung Galaxy SL i9003

Hey guys.. It's unfortunate that i don't use this device anymore and gave it to my mom, i now use an S3.
So i will not be able to be as active in this device forum and will probably focus on the S3 forum.
I really had a great time with you guys, and i will certainly keep helping here and there, and keeping a look at Kernel 3.x and CM development.
I really hope the best for all of you.
<3.

unfair -.-' anyways keep on coming here We would miss you ^_^

All the best with your s3

[ROM/DEVELOPER ANNOUCEMENT] i9003 ULTIMATE SL and REX's status !!

FIRST OPEN THE JPEG FILE THAT IS ATTACHED BEFORE READING OR REPLYING TO THIS !!!
People this is the exact message that REX has sent today... If anyone can arrange for his mobile number leave me a PM we must collectively pray for his health....
The way he has worded this message it seems that he is expecting his final call to this world.....
I don't believe this.....
I did not wish to cry but his persistence for even releasing this ROM is amazing....
I have been crying silently for a long time after reading this message...
FOR THE UNINITIATED PEOPLE CMC VELLORE IS A VERY OLD AND REPUTED MEDICAL COLLEGE WHERE PATIENTS FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY GO WHEN THEY HAVE A INCURABLE DISEASE OR A SURGERY WHICH LEAVES YOU WITH VERY LESS CHANCES OF SURVIVAL !!!
SO IF ANYONE CAN FULFILL THIS JOB OF HIS UNFINISHED ROM PLEASE COME FORWARD AND DO SO .....
Also to all the INDIAN MEMBERS I REQUEST YOU ALL TO TRY AND FIND OUT REX'S MOBILE PHONE NUMBER IF YOU HAVE..... WE MUST MAKE HIM REALIZE THAT HE STILL HAS MANY MORE YEARS TO LIVE !!
We all at XDA are with him....
country and language no boundary.... A fellow brother must not succumb to the dark land of afterlife.... WHICH THOUGH MY CONCERN IS UNWARRANTED BUT IT IS VALID !! because of the place he is being taken to !!!
Our voices shall keep him alive !!!
THAT IS MY HOPE AND PRAYER !!
Rex,although you can't see my post.But i very very hope that you can recovery...You never forget us even you are not well..I really hope miracle will happen on you..I will pray for you even we are from different religion,different country..Best wish from me....
Hope someone from india can spend some time to find him and talk to him,thanks to him,ask him not to give up etc..He is really a good guy..salute.
I really sad when knew this

I recommend a mass SMS to his mobile phone by all members of i9003 community should be enough with a get well soon message and prayers and wishes alongwith their names !
Let me know when someone is able to arrange for his number. I have had no luck so far !!
Once the number is arranged a mass sms by everyone from all over the world should be enough to bring back a person to life and to the world of living !!
Because his message is on a very sad note and it does not bode well for his health !!

Oh my gods.... It's unbelievable news.
Rex has a wonderful custom rom to be finished. He's a talented man.
I don't know what disease he's suffering at.
I also don't know how urge his condition now.
But I hope what the best will come for him.
May all beings be happy. Sadhu...

That is what I also want !!! But sadly with all the surgeries and trauma he had to undergo a few months back and recently in the past month has really shaken up his body !! And it really saddens me....
My eyes are still red and I know partially the kind of mental and physical pain he might have had undergone and he night hce to undergo ....
I just hope this ordeal gets over and he returns home to his family and to us healthy and happy !

Rex I have been the same situation one year ago and I was transferred to different hospitals for cure with few chance to survive.
But finally I am getting healthier and healthier everyday now.
Believe in yourself and you will know how unbreakable we are!!
Get well soon Man!!
my prayers and the whole sl community's prayers will be with rex.get well soon brother.
bless you rex... hope you get well soon...

NOOO! KKRRAAZZYY!!! YOU TOO!!! recently there are many i9003 leaving... but now, we have lost one of the greatest theme maker as well as a modder. but we will continue your path into leading this phone to its full capacity.
but i might not go long with this phone as well. after my phone breaking down on internal sd & motherboard, i might need to buy a new one instead. it still has warranty but the receipt has been misplaced here at home. buying a new one might be a better idea than paying alot to change the motherboard.
wow. you're buying an s3!!!! please pm me and give me pics if you get one!!! but it'll take time before the release on asia. samsung said on the live gadget show it'll go out on may 29.. but first on europe..... then in ASIA. i might buy an s3 but there is a higher chance i'd get an s2...
Developers really come and go... Poor Galaxy SL... Phones also have their shining times too...

Good bye, friends !!

I am totally ****ed up and my phone is screwd.. My warranty got over. Still gave it in the service centre. Replaced the motherboard.. i had to pay 5000 rs.. Still problem persists.. Now they are asking to change the touch screen panel.. It costs rs 7000.. I cnt afford it.. :crying::crying::crying:
Just wanna thank everyone for all the help..Skin1980, Namalass, Vishal, GM, Codeworkx, Dhiru, Tarunagg, Ganesh, krazy, blaqkarma.. Hav enjoyed their works tremendously.. If i left anyones name, forgive me..
Hav been enjoying xda more than fb for the past 1 year.. Hope the development works go on.. Hope we will hav a CM7, CM9 AND CM10.. Hope dhiru will try making a perfect cm7 while we are waiting for kernel 3.. Hillbeast, good luck..
To Vishal and Dhiru : Apologies.. I wanted to donate to the project.. But i cudnt.. WAs busy with rural medical camps that month.. When i got back, it was over..
Now i hav to depend on my rock solid nokia 1200.. Hav fun, my brothers !!
hope to see you back soon on xda.
Bye bye friend
All the best man. Hope you get back on board soon.
Good luck buddy. Nice to have met u

sorry bro but i loved my sl when i saw it first n my still in love with it.Samsung firmware has made it crap.I think many will agree
Sorry for off topic n OT
I think this is an awesome phone and Samsung is quite good as well. They are doing what makes good business sense for them, without breaking any rules or laws.
Sent from my GT-I9003 using xda app-developers app
I see too much yawning here, and exaggeration...
Stock Latest UAE firmware is stable and smooth, but yes, it's Gingerbread.
Today CM9 alpha 10 was released, with noticeable improvements, and dhiru said CM10 will follow.
I had no problems whatsoever with the phone except lately when i dropped it from a window (1st floor) to concrete, this caused the plastic back to crack, it dropped straight so there was no screen damage.
So, it's a great phone, but YOU are not lucky.
Of course i have an S3 as a daily device, but i am still quite happy with the SL.
did they make you pay Rs 5000 for motherboard even though the problem wasn't fixed ?

Its really sad that ur phone is really screwed in a bad way. I dont know but my doubt is that samsung is charging u more than actual price.
Also no need to apolgise buddy for not donating. Money is only not a parameter to measure anyone's contribution for sgsl. You have always helped many members. I dont think so that u should leave this community because u dont have this phone anymore. Still u can help members & enjoy dhiru & other developer's work
So please dont leave this community. We all need good experienced members here
I agree with vishal.
Though your hands on experience with sgsl would have ended, but still you'd be possessing a lot of knowledge about procedures to be followed, issues that pop up and their solution.
Keep sharing, and helping other users.
Even I'm a temporary user as my phone has been exchanged for 2-3 months. As the time for leaving this phone is coming near, I DON'T PLAN TO LEAVE THIS COMMUNITY, will keep helping others with the small deal of knowledge I've gathered from other members. Just developed a liking for it, so continue if you please.

This is farewell for me...

Just wanted to take the time to thank the community here for all the awesome work to help keep this device alive.. specifically design gears for helping me with cwm and dan Rosenberg for root and all the devs who keep the forums alive with great new stuff!
But its come time for me to pack the o3d away in a drawer cause I just ordered my new iPhone 4s....
Jk. I did order a brand new GSM Galaxy Nexus...
Mainly I want to let people know that i dont have the time to maintain my rom or theme threads... so if anyone wants to take over any of those projects.. no need to ask.. consider them yours!!!
Thanks again everyone.. best of luck for all of ya! Maybe I will see ya in some other threads. =)
see ya around trek and thanks for all your hard work
at this rate the LG Optimus 3D Sub is gonna be inactive in my years at xda i have not seen a forum loose so many users oh well you one omap away will be seeing ya . the 4s joke how bad is lg bad ? it makes you wanna leave android for good ol' apple ios.:good:
Damn well thanks for everything

We want iB4STiD back

It isn't every day that a dev comes along who's as kind, considerate, and helpful as iB4STiD. For years, he's given to the community and put up with verbal abuse from trolls in a gracious manner. If he's going out, let's at least share some appreciation for him. Much love, iB! Thank you for your time and efforts!

Hear hear!
You will be missed man.
I'm running Goldfinger on my S4. Really great rom. I just wish some people wouldn't complain about a rom that someone put a lot of time and effort into. I can think of a couple people who need to just quit acting like they know everything when they clearly don't.
Good luck iB4STiD!! Appreciate your contribution to the community. There are plenty of reasons for anyone come and go but what matters finally is how much values one could add. Good job.
I don't have permission to post in the developer section (for good reason) but I enjoy his ROMs very much.
Thank you. Currently running Goldeneye ☺
We already talked and said bye iB, but I feel like saying bye once more. We won't have another developer like you around here maybe. You were the best developer of any device I've seen ever. There were a lot of devs I've seen for many different Android devices, but, you by far, are the best one I've seen yet. I hope you figure everything out and stuff. (We've already talked about this privately, but, as I said before in this post, you are the best developer to me.)

He is one of the best devs out there. Thank you for everything iB4STiD!!!!
Nuts. Out of the loop on what's going on, but it's sad to hear. Since getting my S4, his ROMs were the only ones I would run. I guess it's finally time to pull the trigger on that Nexus 6.
What did I miss!
You can't leave! Yours is the one ROM that has always installed quickly and without any headaches.
Hate to see you go.
EDIT: Found out your moving on to bigger and better things. YAY for you! When you feel bored and nostalgic...just knock out another outstanding ROM for us s4/5 users. Good man!
I've used a few different ROMs of his, and I've enjoyed them all. Not only is he a great developer, but he responds kindly feedback and requests and replies thoughtfully to requests for help from users.
Thanks, iB4STiD!
@iB4STiD you are the best my friend and there is no doubt you will be missed. Good luck, stay healthy, and try to get some sleep
thank you!

iB4STiD - I wanted to add my thanks. Your hard work on the ROMs was the key to making my S4 a great phone. I have really appreciated your efforts and ROM's you have turned out.
I've been on XDA for a long time now and I can undoubtedly say that ib4stid is by far the best dev I've interacted with. Very friendly guy.

He will be missed for sure, good for him!
Seems like I'm going back to building my own roms. Not a fan of mainstream branches they always have extra features I never use and so much custom code they run into new bugs.
Good luck man!
You can relax. He's back. I think this thread and some others' pm's had some positive impact.

Whether he stays or goes, iB4STiD has been fueling my phone for years now, my life wouldn't be the same without him!
