This is more of a way to say thanks to all the Dev's and users who populate this forum. If you really compare to the various sub-sections (phones) you really just are underwhelmed by a lack of ROM's. And the Captivate development section is full of great quality ROM's. You almost have an overload of ROM's to flash, so many good ones. And also the great i9000 dev's. They did a ton of work to help get us some great ROM's
Here is just a thanks. Keep up the good work
Say thanks to your dev's in the thread below
i agree. definately not good for anyone with a flashing addiction . lol i'm downloading two new roms as i type. thanks dev team for finishing what att/samsung didnt.
agreed
awesome work, Devs
Part of the thanks goes to Samsung for making it easy
That's also why I'll never buy HTC or Motorola as long as they're in the habit of locking bootloaders.
I was considering one of the newer devices but the development sections are non existent. Yes were are spoiled, I agree, thanks to our devs.
MIUI
Necessity breeds invention.
I feel sorry for the people who use stock phones and think that's as good as it gets. Those poor, clueless people.
Thank you, XDA.
Try going to the forums of most other AT&T Android phones, such as the Motorola Bravo, and you'll be shocked that almost 6 months after release, they don't have a single custom ROM, and rooting is still a pain for them!
As for us, we have a ton of amazing devs cranking out awesome ROMs, lagfixes, kernels, themes, etc., so I could never imagine going back to stock again
Mucho Gracias Devs
+100000 to what has been said already. I've learned and gained so much from this forum. I have a real love affair with my cappy! I'm up for an upgrade as we speak, but I can' t imagine a better phone. This is thanks to XDA and the awesomely talented hard working devs on this this forum. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
*Now if I can only get the stupendous battery life others have mentioned, I'd be in heaven*

I think the 10+ million galaxy S phones that are all unlocked might have something to do with it too.

Agree wholeheartedly!! I would never go back to stock, and I am supremely thankful to all of the devs and users out there that have provided custom roms, kernels, and all of the other goodies available. The biggest thing I am thankful for, though, is all of the information the users and devs provide. I have learned so much about my cappy, and android in general, from this forum. IMHO, the best way to show thanks is to keep up the spirit of sharing, and provide your own insight anywhere it may be useful. I am always happy to help anyone out, as long as it is a question I know something about. Again, a big thanks to all of the devs, and to all of the users!!

I can definitely say that the Captivate Development is one of the best on XDA.
My brother is looking for a new device to upgrade to, he keeps comparing everything to my Captivate. He still hasn't found anything that he would rather have over the Captivate, mostly because of the support available on XDA.

Love the captivate, but it wouldn't be anything withput the captivate android development section
I am so surprised every time I try to check on ROMs for other phones.
I am scared about leaving the captivate, I don't want to be stuck on stock. I was going to go to atrix next, that isn't looking good. Hopefully the SGS II is as easy to dev as the captivate, and hopefully its out soon.
We are so very spoiled. The hardest thing about flashing a ROM for a captivate is choosing which one.
Thanks to all the great devs that make this possible.

One thing that I think is crazy is that the necessity for a lagfix created something unexpected and amazing in the Voodoo Project (ext4 optimizations, sound, and color), mad props to Supercurio. Not trying to single any dev out, y'all are great and continue to produce amazing ROM's.
I'm glad my phone didn't work as promised right out of the box. I feel sorry for anyone that decided to move on to another phone for that reason. The developers in this section are awesome there are easily 15 solid roms and 10 different kernels to choose from. Sometimes navigating the choices can give a guy a head ache, but Thanks to all the hard working devs in the captivate XDA it's almost impossible to make a bad choice. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I agree with everyone. I bought my SGH-I897 because a friend bought one for his wife and she loved it (even with stock ROM) and got it free on Black Friday. I came from iPhone original to this and was only marginally satisfied... until the custom ROM I installed a few days ago. Wow, what a difference. The hardware that promised so much is now free to work as it should. Better battery life, smoother performance, more options, more access.
Like others, I feel sorry for those who at one time held this device in their hands then gave it up because of terrible software.
Thanks to all those who take the time to develop, update, write guides, share findings, take risks... for the benefit of fellow Captivate owners. Thanks.
100% agreed.
I want to take this opportunity to thank all developers here in XDA. I officially salute to all of them. They help us without asking payback. I definitely think donation is my way to show how I appreciate their work, time and their unselfishness of sharing.
And also want to thank all memebers here on XDA. They are extremely helpful as well.
Being winmo rom flasher/users for 5 years. As android is totally new to me. After been reading lots of lots of topics, I just recently had guts to flash a custom android rom. And all I can say is wow. Didn't expected a big different like that.
Again, thanks all ppl here in XDA. I know I'm spoiled, and protected too, as long as I am a member of XDA community.

Completely agree! Imagine if we were all still on stock firmware with RFS and no mods... Definitely wouldn't be the high end phone it is now. Thanks Devs!
I have been playing around with my sweet new and rooted g-tablet for the last week, and I wanted to thank all the development for their hard work making this tablet scream.
It is a night and day difference between the stock firmware and the custom ROMs. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
+1000....great work folks!
Amen and Thanks from me as well!
I got my G Tablet during the Woot deal and had read how crappy it was until rooted. But I had no idea how many options and flavors I could have to "pimp out" my tablet until I dug into your forums and really tried to get the best out of it.
A big thanks to all the developers out there who work hard to make my tablet experience a good one!
I agree, thank you devs!!
Indeed. Thank you much.

It's kind of funny... before the Woot deal I didn't own an Android device and had never fooled with one before.
I took the plunge with the gTab based on the excellent devs going on here at XDA. In my search for a smart phone which would work with the gTab, I got an HTC Aria. Now that I've rooted my Aria and installed a new ROM on it (thanks to XDA!), I'm ready to root my gTab and choose a new ROM for it.
See what y'all have gotten me into ????
But seriously, I appreciate all the hard work that has gone into development of these ROMs. Now that I've stuck my toe in the water I can see how much fun it is, too.
I will chime in with my support for the developers too. I have yet to flash my unit with a new ROM yet but looking forward to it.
Agreed - a BIG thank you to the developers who are making this device usable...
I agree the devs here are fantastic. Thank you so very much
Thank you devs. I just picked up a Gtab at lunch today and I can't wait to dive into rooting and flashing a custom rom on this.
The only 2 reason that make I choose G-tab is good price and XDA-DEVELOPERS support it. Thank you devs
+1 on the thanks. I likely won't be keeping mine, but the ROMs here are nothing short of excellent. Good work, gents
No Problems after update 4349
Because I read and heeded the messages from the devs, thanks.
Hi I would just like to thank everyone that has helped me on this forum the Samsung Galaxy S 4G has been my first very phone and when I got it I already knew what I wanted to do with it which was install a custom rom but didn't know much about the procedures and had a lot of help from the community here at XDA. I am kind of sad that I will be returning this phone back to the Tmobile retailer because I will be missing all of you guys that are so helpful to me and everyone else, but also happy that I will be getting a newer phone (having the SGS4G for under a month). Reasons I am returning is because currently I pay a overpriced plan for features I barely even use so will be getting a cheaper plan and buying a phone by itself, for whatever phone I will be getting I can at least hope that community will be half as helpful as the members on this section!
I like to especially thank some people who have really took the time to help me out.
The first guy that helped me with rooting and such is Fbis251!
I received a very great if not the most help from thomas.raines, a lot of other people I like to thank too are dsexton702, JuLes' MostWanted, DnickDominic, RaverX3X, lumin30, and Im sure I'm missing a lot of people!!!
Shout out to Raver's miui rom never got to try that but man the preview screenshots look sexy!! Also was waiting on airfluip's 4.0 version but I am sure the wait is worth it guys will be amazing as well!
THANKS GUYS!! I KNOW THIS THREAD IS NOT NECESSARY I READ SOMEWHERE ELSE BUT I JUST WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW I AM THANKFUL AND I KNOW THE DEVS WILL KEEP ON BRINGING US MORE AMAZING STUFF THANK YOU DEVS!!!
I just like ti say im keeping my phone my plan now is 20 dollars and my phone cost me 320.

Hey man that sounds great, I cannot wait to try!
I started this thread for people who want to say Goodbye to our beloved phone Samsung Galaxy S Advance ...
Please guys don't spam the "General" or "Q/A" area with goodbye because this makes searching for special threads/topics
very hard for the users of this phone.
And now, let's say goodbye to all devs and users of janice
Thank you guys!!
Hi guys!!
I want to say goodbye to all guys of our S Advance forum ...
As some of you would have already seen in my signature I bought a new phone.
It is a LG G2 and I love my new phone really much!! Yes, my S Advance is still
alive and working but I gave my phone to my sister because her phone is broken.
So, I will start to say bye to some special guys:
@AntaresOne ... I want to start with him because without this great guy I could never build
roms or such things ... He teached very much of the new rom builder/devs and so our beloved janice
gots lots of new roms in 2014!!
@Chirag_Galani, @Rox ... As soon as Mattia (Antares) started this teaching group
the next great devs of our phone and of Ace2 launched the group, ok, both of them got added by
some noobs like me, so they never had a decision But they didn't leave the group, they helped
us until all of us had a better sense how to build roms and how to solve errors, yes, this was a hard
time for all of our teachers
And surely thanks to @iiD4x who helped me so often in fixing build errors All the time you tried to help me and mostely you solved my bugs, and yes, you teached me lots of things too!!
Ok, I know, I wrote enough now, but let's mention some last great people: @KINGbabasula, @Paul L., @frapeti, ... You and all other people/devs I mentioned above are the reason why our phone got so popular, got so much roms ... On the other side people like @shut_down, @dagger .. all the time when users launch our S Advance, especially you two guys where here too, they had a question, this two guys where here to answer the question, to help you out, to solve each known problems who can happen our phone, the know the right answer how to solve it!! @Android-Andi, @golden-guy ... you are the next in this veryyyy long goodbye post, thank you Andi and golden-guy for all your work, both of you helped a lot to fix even known bugs on roms like OmniRom (Hotspot) and Andi, you did everything to fix bugs on janice, to help me in all my crises!!
Least but not last: Thanks to all users of this phone, thanks to all testers of my two roms Slimkat and Carbon!! You guys tested it, gave reviews and put me in a happy mood when you praised me
Thank you guys for this beautiful time on janice, our phone got more bugfree, faster and better!!!!
Yours, Florian
By the way ... Anybody of you guys thinks about purchasing a G2? Would be awesome ... [ @shut_down, @dagger? Please come to the G2 area because there are no people like you who answer all questions :/ Please xDD]]
@Flo0008
Hey bro,
First I want to say you: have fun with your new device and good luck in everything in your life
Second: I remember the first times that we talked on Hangouts, in february if I remember well, great n00b but with your great interest and your capacity you became a very good dev (take a look at your Carbon/Dirty Unicorns ROMs, they are very famous in the communities). Never forget me
Third: you will always look as my granny, true @Rox?
Fourth: Never worry about: ask me everything, if you need a hand with your new device, with development or everything else, just to say "Hello" or "How are you?" you're always welcome!!!
C'mon Flo!!

Hmmm .... Okay Floo ... Glad to hear your janice has a new friend. Btw thanks for contributing to this poor janice device, buddy. I can only hope there are developers who still feel pity, to make this device better. Although these devices are getting old age I guess. Heh..

Lg g2 should be good but you could go fot the oneplus one, much newer, with more support and obviously better
And let me remember everyone that ste chips suck! Snapdragon ftw ?
Good luck with your new phone, you do great roms, you solved many build problems and sure you spend time on this, thanks for your contribution.
You have to build roms for that beast, and the battery life is great on G2, but you had to wait to 64-bit, the date is more than 2037 haha.
AntaresOne and iiD4x help some people to build roms, they are great teachers :good:
@up
Yes, AntaresOne is very good teacher...
And good luck, flo, hope that your invitation to Austria is still valid (no, I don't plan to go there... For now )
Even though it is very hard to say good bye to you,
Good Bye dear Florian.
I have used all your roms for i9070 and your carbon builds are always my favorite. Enjoy your new LG G2.
But I still hope you will consider development for i9070 once android L is out. Because your sister still holds it.
Anyway, have great time.

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!

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

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.
