I'm not a frequent poster. Heck, I'm still not above the necessary posts for posting in Dev forums. But I wanted to delurk and say this: thank you.
I've been on XDA for a few years now, starting with the Samsung Captivate, moving on to the HTC Inspire 4G, presently on this forum and soon the One forum. In that time I've had the opportunity to see many people, many devs and countless iterations of ROMs (some of which have followed my transit, oddly).
XDA has a lot of great people: young, old and somewhere inbetween. The devs and users alike have been great on the HTC One XL. Arguably, this is one of the best groups I've frequented.
Devs: Thanks for all the tireless, sometimes thankless work. Some of you are literally half my age and are able to do things I barely understand. Remember that for every pissant whiner, there are any number of people just like me silently going along and enjoying every bit of what you do. Sense or stock, all of you make this phone fly.
Users: You guys are great, period. Funny, helpful and great bunch overall. I've seen a lot of you support the devs with bug reports, donations and sometimes just with thanks. That is awesome. Keep it up!
So, anyway. That's all I have to say for whatever it is worth. I'll be following along with the One forums. Maybe I'll talk with some of you there if/when I finally break my lurker habits.

THANK YOU "bkcokota" AND OTHER XDA DEVS
I am new to this forum and especially new to rooting......
upon deciding to root my HTC ONE SV 3 days ago, and failing miserably, might i add, i followed "bkcokota" guide.
at no fault of his own i tried and tried again.......gave up, then tried and tred again......rinse and repeated this several times......then said F it and
decided to research anything i could find on the web about rooting phones........upon one more try at rooting this thing i finally got it......
i at this time.........about 5 minutes ago.......realized i was a complete "noob" as ive seen this word used alot the last couple of days.
but after researching all i could realized how easy it was to do, and at how clear bkcokota's directions were........one of those "doh"
moments obviously, wanted to thank him personally as well as all the xda members who posted their findings to this site. i couldn't post to his
original thread, because of obvious reasons, so i decided to post it here. i hope it gets to him as his guide was detrimental to succeeding at my
task.
again,
THANK YOU "bkcokota" AND ALL OTHER XDA DEVS AND MEMBERS ALIKE.
PS: "[GUIDE] Root for HTC One SV UPDATED 23/02/13 - bkcokota" was the guide i followed

The Captivate has remarkable legs. I was surprised to see how much support it has after all these years. I probably would've kept it longer were it not for the SOD issue.
Incidentally, the Captivate will probably be traded in to fund the new phone.

So, I really, really don't want to come back to HTC while AT&T has them bent over. However I did tell everyone I was going to make a rom for this device. If jcase gets it unlocked tomorrow I will be a bit more inclined to do it. The thought of playing the Apple cat and mouse game with an android device isn't very appealing to me at all!
So I leave this up to you! Should I make a rom for the AT&T One X? (added a poll)

With the root method out now and the possibility of Jcase getting the bootloader unlocked, i'll have to say YES!!!
I say yes. There's always room for ROMs when there's nothing yet out there.
I love your work DG. We would love to see a rom from you. The bootloader issue will pass soon one way or another.
This is a beautiful device with beautiful internals. All we need is a sexy rom to top it off

I disagree, we have more freedom stock than an iPhone does or ever will have
And with root our phones blow away the iPhone
I've had them and I've jailbroke them for friends.
The only advantage I will say is the hardware is great and since they create the hardware and software it has better app development

The theming was nice, but man did all those tweaks and such slow my phone down. I reset it and gave it to my kid for gaming, and it was like I had a new phone it was so much snappier.
Contrast that to how much faster and smoother you can make an Android phone by rooting and romming it.
I don't think I'm going to regret jumping ship but I am curious to see where they go with this one.
I tried an iphone. Wanted to love it. Sold it and bought this phone on launch day. Love my ipad and mac but I'm android on my phone.
Leave the apple products to the people who don't have half a brain to learn something new. The Android ecosystem is always changing and dynamic, always something to be learned and discovered. Apple is just a closed and elitist ecosystem that died with Steve Jobs.
If Apple ever made their phones run iOS(i-open source) I'd think about it.

I think It's because of HTC. With all the different variant versions of one S all the different h boots. I dunno man I truly belive my next cell phone will be Samsung. I've always wanted to try it out but didn't like the phone design. The galaxy 3 and note 2 are the first Samsung phones that actually caught my eye. I guess we will see what's in the future line up. I had the HTC amaze and sensation. HTC failed the Amaze as well. Oh well.

I like the Galaxy's for 2 reasons, black blacks, (very nice on aosp for everything to be black instead of gray), and the software features like the pausing and all of that. But I like sense. I would also like to have the next Google phone. Too many choices.

I have never liked the screens on the galaxy phones. Look close in person and compare. Regardless of all other factors, the devs will make a speedy Rom with that hardware, and the build quality will be great on both.
The screen will be what you will look at more than anything else. Make sure you won't regret it. Pentile is irritating, even at hi res IMHO.
Black blacks and impressive contrast ratios are good, but seeing gaps between my pixels just ticks me off. That's just me.

Well then please make it HTC lol.
Apple is good at choosing hardware and writing software that is a bit behind the times, and consequently everything works and is smooth all the time.
That being said, I find iOS totally boring. My work bought me an iPad mini, which is cool, but I just can't get interested.

I would wait on the X phone and Nexus 5. IOS is good if you want your money's worth. My iPad 2 is still running silky smooth and my wife's iPhone 5 resells for $380! That's insane!
I have been a Samsung guy for the past couple of years and still am for the most part (waiting for the note 3) but to me the HTC one is much better than the galaxy s4. Two weeks ago I had my first HTC one, loved it but I had to get the S4 so i sold the One and got the s4. It's a good phone but it stutters A LOT, you cannot use the phone for a full minute without the phone stuttering and I'm not exaggerating. Also even though I always liked touchwiz, it's getting really old and needs an ui revamp badly. At the end of the day it's a matter of preference but to me the HTC one is a much more polish device. The s4 features are cool for the first 30 minutes but after a little while they just get in the way and become more annoying than anything. (Except multi window and air view ). The one display is beyond amazing (the one x display is the best 720p display and this puts it to shame), the speakers are incredible and I find myself liking blinkfeed a lot. Less features but way more useful. To each his own
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2
As far as I'm concerned Samsung is in my ****list. How they can release such poor build quality at such high prices is beyond me. HTC time and time again is a perfect combination of power, features and build quality. And ew ew ew touchwiz. Also, would much rather have a phone and a tablet then a cross between the two. Having a smart phone you can't operate with one hand seems a bit useless to me but that's just my two cents. Also +1 on the nexus line of phones if for no other reason than having the latest software asap.
