I know everyone keeps saying thanks for all you hard work, but I do not think we can thank you enough.
I will not list all of the Gtab Dev's, you know who you all are.
I just wanted to start this thread for us that have been here from the beginning of the gtab and it's place here on XDA From one huge thread to it's own home.
This will also give those new user's an idea of who here help make this device a better device and who Viewsonic really needs to thank for current and future sales.
Everyone, please keep the thread on track (this is not a place for questions and answers and discussions of apps, roms and such)
just say "THANKS"
Twelve ounce solute to all XDA devs
Thanks!!!

GRACIAS!!
Thanks Roebeet and others!
I can truly say this thing would be back without the dev's hard work. Thanks !
I did return one early on...Then kept reading the posts and went back and bought another one.
Added tnt 2.2 "liked it alot"
But the VEGAn build beta2 has passed them all by. This thing is so nice now.
iPhone ipad what are those Consumer devices... they seem like old crippled OS's from the past. Remember WM5 ??? No I forgot the minute I went to Treo. Remember Treo..no I forgot the minute I went to iPhone 1st gen. Now...
Remember iPhone 4/3gs no I forgot the minute I got a Android Samsung Captivate. Now the circle is complete with the Viper Tablet( G tablet with VEGAN beta xx)!
Obrigado !
Oh with out a doubt!! Us and Viewsonic owes these guys ...I was so disappointed when I first got my g tab home and saw how slow it was. I actually boxed it back up and was going to return it the following day. I stumbled on this site and stayed up all night tweaking my new favorite toy.
Big thank you. I bought one the first day but took it back. I just bought another one after seeing the great options given us by the great cooks here!
Wowsher
This has been one of the most active and resourceful forums I've been a part of. Many many thanks to Roebeet and the other developers for their tireless contributions to the forum and for making the Viewsonic G Tablet a wonderful choice.
Thank you! I would have returned this device had I not stumbled across this great site!
You have made an android noob look great! I love my device now and Thank all the Developers and users out there!
I'm with you guys I never would've bought this device if it wasn't for the days of reading threads on xda and seeing the support itbwas getting. I knew it couldn't be bad if it was getting so much love from the devs. THANK YOU!!! For making putting the tegra 2 to good use
Thanks!
very, very much appreciated!
Its been fun to watch all the collaboration and hard work.
Thanks!!
All the hard work is very appreciated here.
Its like the old 6 million doller man TV show in the 70's: We can rebuild it... better, stronger, faster. Indeed they did.
Thank you ALL, for all of your hard work. Without you, the G-tab would be dead.
THANKS
thanks I almost returned it. I switch roms about 3 to 4 days from roebeet to CM6 to TNT lite
Much respect to the devs.
My turn!
Rothnic, many thanks for your initial zPad roms, your subsequent dealings with their devs to bridge the gap, and your amazing work with the VEGAn build.
GoJimi, your work on the VEGAn is nothing short of amazing and we wouldn't even have a build without you. I was ready to give up on it before you got alpha 1 working.
Bekit. Clockworkmod. I think we all know how important that tool is in our build work. And your nvflash work has made it possible to restore an otherwise bricked device. I can't thank you enough for that.
Proengin. You've been the middle man between myself and Modaco / Malata, and your info has helped us immensely with our builds.
To everyone who I've mentioned in my build posts (there's a lot of you out there). Every tip and fix you've helped with has made our devices better.
And to the community here -- your testing and feedback have helped enormously to make a mediocre device great. There are numerous things you've suggested that I would have never even thought of, and now I get to reap the benefits of, on my own device!
THANKS!!!
Roebeet, I can't that you enough! I've been following your mods since I found myself frustrated with my first Eken and I came across your WPDN mods on slatedroid which prompted me to go out and get one of those and then when you got a gTab I jumped on that bandwagon too and again have you to thank for a device that works much better than it did out of the box. Thanks again to you and anyone else who has contributed to your efforts. If our paths ever cross I look forward to buying you a drink.
Another person of great help to this newbie is Wasserkapf. He has been most patient, and kind to me as I embark on my journey with the G Tablet. Thanks!
Hi All,
Just a note to say Thanks A Million!
The hard work of the developers have turned a nice piece of hardware into pleasant and fun tablet.
I do hope that you continue your excellent work, and that Viewsonic gets their act together. Or maybe they just release hardware and let the community do with it what they will.
Thanks again!
Agreed.
This would be a crap device if it weren't for the developers here. Upon my initial power up I got at least 15 force close messages and couldn't even connect to WiFi to perform a system update. Two hours later, thanks to the tools/info available via this forum I was happily running a custom ROM and downloading apps from the marketplace.
Gotta agree. The difference between owning a brick and owning a great machine is XDA developers and this forum. Is there another example of a new piece of hardware being rescued from Glitch Oblivion like the G-Tablet?
Thanks again!
I just ordered my G Tab today! By week's end I should be ready to do some hacking. I have done it plenty of times on my Droid so I'm pretty sure it will be a breeze with this device. Thanks devs!
I just got around to turning mine on this weekend, and I agree. I can see why so many people returned this thing. Out of the box, I would have. Thank goodness, I knew about xda-developers from when I got my Android phone.
I spent a little over an hour, and while there are still things I want to do, and still little quirks here and there, I am really enjoying this device (Vegan ROM), and am excited to play with it some more.
Thanks for everyone here for making this thing worth the money (especially now that I see the cost of the Xoom!)
I thought my Gtab was cool from the start 0_o but yeah the reason why I bought it was XDA I read that it was easily rooted . Plus look at the Xoom 800 bucks.. Really?
Have to second that!
My experience has been the same. Bought my G at the end of November after seeing it at Staples. The stock UI really was uninspiring, but in my experience with it, it was rock steady. I stayed stock until this weekend when I flashed TntLite 4.2.2 - man, what a difference that made! The G changed from bland and mildly disappointing to a quick and flexible piece of equipment.
My thanks to the devs for their work. I've lurked here for about two months attempting to pick up on installation tips and general impressions of the different ROMs. I'd say it has paid off because my install went easily; I was able to handle the google framework force closes after a quick search through the forum.
After a time with Tnt, I'll likely give Vegan a go!
Thanks again to all who develop, mod, and share their experiences here.
Thanks echoed and put my order in today...
Just wanted to say thanks (in advance) for all the great support the developers have given the community. I've been ogling tablets for a while now, looking for a replacement for my Archos 5 IT (which I still love and will still be giving gym treadmill duty). Really looking forward to more screen real estate!
This forum is what led me to put my order in today...without it, I'd probably have missed out on a sleeper hit.
Will likely be acquiring a dock shortly as well...just for the complete solution.
Everyone here, especially the developers, have basically helped revive the G-Tablet and make it a sexy beast! Keep on modding guys!
Many Props to the DEVS!
Yeah, the only reason I bought my GTAB was because a custom ROM already existed so could swap out the crappy stock TNT with VEGAn.
I've tried out all the roms available for this device and decided VEGAn would be my daily driver.
BIG THANKS TO:
GOJIMI, BEKIT, SCEPTERR, BITTRIX, ROTHNIC and ROEBEET for the Awesome sauce!
You guys RUMBA ROCK!!
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.
As some of you may have noticed, I have been very inactive in the Android world over the past month or so. I wanted to take the opportunity to let everyone know what is going on.
My wife is 8 months pregnant, and starting about a month ago she has been having some issues. Nothing too serious, but it means we have to go to the doctor several times a week to make sure she and the baby are not getting worse. She is also not supposed to leave the house if possible. As much as I enjoy the playing around I do with Blackhole, my family has to come first.
The Baby could be born any time now, and I simply don't have the time to devote to Android like I used to. I will admit that what little free time I have left now goes to extra sleep (cause I know I won't be getting any for a while after the baby is born). Lets face it, I'm no Adrynalyn or Jcase. For me Android has always been a hobby, and I do what I do mostly for myself, but just decided to share it.
I do plan on getting back into things once my life has settled down a bit, and if something major happens (Official GB upgrade anyone?) I'll try to make the time to release an update, but don't expect anything from me for a while.
I want to say thank you to everyone who has supported me with kind words, donations, suggestions, testing, bug reports, etc. over the past 9 months or so since I started developing on the Fascinate, and I want you all to know how much I appreciate you.

Good luck with the little one coming
Thank you for all the work you have done so far

Hope everything goes well for the rest of the pregnancy. That's is absolutely your first priority. The things will settle down a couple of months after your little one is here.
Good luck as you await the birth. I'll keep you and your family in prayer. Our first born turned 15 months this week and they really are time consuming, but so worth it.
It's good to see you have your priorities set.

I'm sure the community appreciates everything you have done. Good luck with your wife and child and your right, you probably won't be getting much sleep do nous a good time to catch up.
Family comes first man. Do what you gotta do to take care of them! Hopefully all goes well and you have a great healthy baby!
Good luck dude, family first

Thank you all, I'm glad you understand. That's one of the benefits of working with Android, a generally more mature community than the iTeens.

Psht aint that the truth!
I too am a military guy and my wife is about to pop with our 2nd daughter so I totally get the not much time thing. Again good luck with the new child! Exciting times are ahead!
Family first! Wise you are, hmm.
All the best & best of luck with the wife and child.... Thank you
Thank you so much sonofskywalker3 for all the hard work and contributions you have brought to the TB community. Best wishes and congrats to you and your family as well.
Really? If this is a mature audience, I'd hate to see an immature one.
Nothing against you and I hope everything with your wife goes ok, but a lot of devs for android are not even out if high school.

True enough, and we certainly have our share of drama queens, but overall I think the user base for Android, and especially those active in the Modding community, are much more understanding when it comes to the important things. Sure we've got people who will pitch a fit if things don't go their way, but I've seen nothing but support when I'm letting everyone know that I'm taking a major break. No "But wherez my r0mz dud3!!", just well wishes and genuine concern.

Thanks for all your work and I hope all goes well with you and your family. As a father of a 14 month old myself, it's good if you are already acclimated to getting little sleep. Who'd a thunk that developing would be good training for fatherhood!

That's cool. Take care of your family. Seems like there is quite the dev family here on the thunderbolt so I'm sure there will be plenty to play with in your absence.
Despite Miketoasty's distasteful example to the contrary, I still believe the Android community is generally mature...
Hey guys! I just wanted you all to know that I have finally moved away from the Thunderbolt.
I wish you all the best of luck with the development! Thank you to all of the developers who still carry on development for the device. Without you guys, I would have left the bolt over a year ago... but you guys kept it cool and worth staying with.
Also thank you to everyone who has helped me along the way.
I recently moved and the Thunderbolt no longer maintains even WiFi for some reason... so I was forced to move away from it.
Again, thank you all for everything!
Have fun with your new device.

Take care bud, was always a pleasure having you around!
Enjoy your new toy. :good:
See you around
Sad to see you go bud, was fun having you around, and a few of your posts really cracked me up (see dickmode). Enjoy your new device!
Haha! Yeah, we had some good times on here for sure!
Thanks for all the memories and help from all of you!
I'll still pop in every now and then I'm sure. Hope to cross roads again with you guys later on!
Take care everyone!
Well, I also left the ranks. My family has been pressuring me to get them their first smartphones, and by the time we were through at the cell phone store, I had one too. While I really was hoping to get the next great phone (eg, a Nexus 4x with replaceable battery, SD card, and LTE), we all went with what I think is still the best combination of size, speed, and features (replaceable battery, memory) while also having a community for future, um, er, rooting fun. The Samsung Galaxy SIII. I was tempted by the Note 2 but the thing is just too big; the S3 almost seemed too big, but it is also nice and thin.
Anyway, I will miss the Thunderbolt. I was really fortunate with my ROM choices (SOAB, Thundershed, and Santod's ICS Eternity). SOAB was a good entry to rooting, Tshed was bulletproof, and Eternity was fast, smooth and awesome in features and performance. But most of all I will miss the awesome developers who contributed to their talents and time to make the Thunderbolt better that what HTC and Verizon could ever do. And the great community here and on other bulletin boards. People like QuickDraw, who has always been quick with the advice or support.
I have some Thunderbolt accessories free for the asking. A Rezound battery. A slightly broken Platinum holster case in black (one small piece of the case broke off but it doesn't seem to effect the use at all and you wouldn't even see it if you didn't look) and a virtually unused PowerSkin case. Let me know if you want em and I will ship them to you. At some point I may even give up the Thunderbolt itself.
Thanks again everyone...

Ooh! Which device are you on now? I hope you'll come visit us Bolters every so often. Perhaps we should make an Off Topic Bolt thread hahaha. Anyway, I hope it works out for you! I'm still new to Xda, but I'll miss you! Hahaha
