We want iB4STiD back - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General

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!

When I can, I'll make a donation to you. I'll see how much I got after taxes when I get all my forms. Once again thanks for all your hard work on these roms. Really like the Goldfinger rom I'm using.

it was my pleasure my friend i mean that .. making these roms.. kept my mind off alot of things going on in my life b4 i moved, it helped me chill out, and getting to know u guys was worth more than anything to me!! :good::good:

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!

****BirgerTime & Whitehawkx G2X Fund***

If you would like to see some awesome stuff come this way from these guys, feel free to send some donations...goal is 350 per dev in order to get a g2x for each of them. Don't see the harm. Either you would like to you would don't; NO FLAMING...thanks noobs and senior member alike!
Birgertime/Romanbb
Whitehawkx
Follow us on twitter to keep track of the amounts gained, will get removed once reached! @jface21 @romanbb @whitehawkx
Preview of things to come:
9 Lockscreens! for Froyo
9 Lockscreens! for Gingerbread
***Disclaimer***
NOT requiring you to donate, but for sake of more cool stuff for you/me, it would be super awesome. I did this NOT them!
I could throw some change their way...great Vibrant devs. Have they committed to develop if they get the phone? Might help to hear from them.
Anyway your BirgerTime Paypal link doesn't work.

White and I are dying to play with a new phone. We'll give it all we've got
(by the way, this was jface's idea, white & I didn't know he was doing this, thanks jface)
I will be 110% committed to development on the G2X. First order will be a multitude of lockscreens for everyone to choose from. Roman has been developing all kinds of status bar tweaks and such which can be viewed here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1123830.
Since the G2X is aosp based we will be able to do so much more with it. That and that fact that Roman is a java master. Needless to say, I dont think anyone will be disappointed.
BTW - thanks jumaan for getting this going.

The link should be fixed now and if you decide to donate to them, thanks for the support =)

Glad it was your idea ;-)

Good to hear you guys are interested. I looked at some of your work and was very impressed. I donated a bit...will do more next week (after payday).
A note to everyone complaining about a perceived lack of development...devs can't afford to purchase every new device that they are willing to support (working for free). If you want more development, support it. Skip the morning Starbuck's and give a couple bucks...just my two cents.
just donated to both of you
hope you guys get the phone!
but while your waiting i have sgs4g favor to ask hehe
anyway you guys can deodex the GB rom with root inside please
i rooted the rom just cant get it to deodex
we are having problems
only if its not to much though!
much love for you guys work <3
Guys, I used birgertimes roms in the vibrant days and they were the most stable, eye candy full roms, that would fly. I'm down to donate when I get trip a computer. We need more developers.

I will see about scrounging some cash to donate! More devs the better!
Alright, got 10 sent to Birgertime and 10 to Whitehawk. You guys rock and I can't wait to see what you guys can come up with!!!!!!! Trust me guys, they can make some KILLER roms!

If progress keeps coming as fast as it is now, they might have g2x's before the end of June!!
Thanks for the support guys. We will no let you down.
Bump. Come in guys. trust me, they will do amazing things for us.

I was a vibrant owner and sold them for the g2x....these two devs are the best at what they do.....lol this would change the game completely.......omg im so happy now..down with the sensation now boys
i made some douchebag comments bout donating when i first joined this forumz a couple months ago so imma send some in cause after flashing and using roms it reali is worth it

How about some thanks to the guys that have shared so much!

This is a thread for thanks to those who've shared their time and work with this community. I'd like to take this moment to name some names and say "thank you" for making my Android and Thunderbolt experience better. First, I'd like to thank Chingyo51 for his ROMs. They've been my daily driver for about 2 years starting with incredibly re-engineered. I'd also like to extend thanks to Ziggy471 for his work on the Android kernels. Much thanks to Imoseyon and Nerozehl for their work on the gingerbread kernel, and to TwistedUmbrella for making script management of the kernel features idiot-proof. I'd like to thank Team BAMF for their development which has produced tools and dividends for other devs. I'd specifically like to thank jcase and adrynalyn for the hard work they've done in rooting this device and chasing down the issues with random bricking pre-MR2. I appreciate what all of you have done and you have my respect and gratitude.
This should be a place of respect and gratitude. If you'd like to publicly thank your favorite dev, please do so! I don't see any reason this shouldn't be one of the longest threads in this forum!
However I like the idea of having a haven of nice posts and friendly people, but why do you think we have the "Thanks" button?

Very well said loonatic. My ThunderBolt has become a new hobby of mine and I have the devs to thank. I've done my best not to clog up any threads with "thanks downloading now! "
I am concerned tho with how things have been here these past few weeks. All the negativity, flaming, devs leaving. Maybe some people shouldn't take all this stuff so seriously. For me this is just a hobby..... somethin to do for fun.
Again loonatic very well said and thanks to all the devs for making my phone awesome. Not sure if you mentioned DROIDTH3ORY or LIQUID they have been doing some really great work also and seem to be the most active on XDA lately.
Sent from my HTC ThunderBolt using XDA Premium App
Indeed the "thanks"button is good, but its not the more powerful statement saying it in your own words can be. Most of us know how things have been around here and I'd just like to add some positivity. If my friend were to cook me up something like A custom ROM, I'd be thankful as hell and I would be talking about it. I'd like to think of these guys on here as friends, just the same. I don't want foul opinions or negativity on this thread. I've noticed there's plenty of other threads for that.
I do like DroidTh3ory's work. I like his thoughts on how a ROM should be set up. I tried and earlier release and ill have to go back and try a newer one. Definitely good work and a valuable contributor! Thank you for pointing that out!
Nicely stated guys. I'd just like to thank all devs out there who put their efforts into making our tbolt experience a more enjoyable. Obviously, I cannot try everything out there, but I certainly appreciate that all of them take their personal time to do these things for us!
Thank you all.
Sent from my rooted HTC Thunderbolt.
Thanks to droidth3ory and xpack90. The've been awesome.

Thank Ya Devs

I just wanna say thanks to all the devs who are keeping our infuse community alive! AT&T slacks on their promises, we all know that, but im happy that a lot of you developers have and are taking the initiative to bring GB, Custom GB, and even ICS-like rims to us infuse owners. I have really noticed the boom in ports, and modified roms lately and I must sau I am quite impressed, once again thanks devs KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK... and don't mind those who aren't appreciative cuz remember the key phrase

I didn't think this would ever happen after all the previous devs left. I thought we were going to be lonely.
Thank you, you guys are great.
Sent from my SGH-I997
Yeah. Even though I don't use custom ROMs much any more I appreciate all the hard work you guys do. I definitely use the root and unlock discoveries and will probably use some custom ROMs based off the official AT&T Gingerbread ROM once it's released.
+1 to this, great to see devs still supporting this phone. It's quite a shame if this phone just got left for dead and forgotten simply because the processor wasn't dual-core. It has so much more to offer and is really overlooked.
My last experience with custom roms wasn't very great (HTC Magic, everything was laggy as hell) so I just avoided custom roms for the most part and stuck to carrier roms. As inflated as they are, they are always stable, and that is my #1 priority.
however looking at the latest roms for this device the tech geek in me is screaming in my ear to ROOT THE PHONE AND PUT ONE OF THESE ROMS ON ASAP
So again great job.

I'd just like to thank everyone!

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.

Every time I come on here looks like there is a new update, new ROM, and new people working hard to keep this forum active and our phones awesome. I'm not a rich guy or else I would be donating to you all. Hope the thanks button is enough for now. Keep up the good work!
Huge thanks to the Collective crew! Your ROM's make my flashing day!

They definitely brought this sub forum "back from the dead." I quote because I personally never thought it was dead at all. I would take your post one further and thank those who still dev on the Infuse even though it isn't their daily drivers...you know who you are.
I agree. I got this phone a couple months ago and was afraid that there wouldn't be much of a selection of ROMs/Kernels/Tweaks but then I stumbled upon these forums and was amazingly pleased. The Collective especially with Dman doing Zeus and All them building up the New R3VELATiON ROM... Just amazing. Thanks guys, Keep it up!
Peace out with the grease out,
Malicious.
Use to have an iphone ...but the android comunity is much better in terms of modification and everything ..much love for xda and the devs on it

Love the dev team! The Collective just keeps cranking them out. SuperCM7 is also great if you haven't tried it. It's my daily driver and I have no complaints.
I just want to thank this site and especially thank Dman and all of The Collective for doing a great job with the ZEUS ROM. You have helped make flashing my first ROM an enjoyable, learning experience.
