Thought I would post to introduce myself. I signed on here (browsed & used this site in the past) since I just got a new phone (HTC Juno).
I go thru about 4 phones a year, I know thats nothing compared to some. I can stay content with the same phone for about 4 months before I get the itch to upgrade
Oh and if you wonder about the username, I love me some JDM cars

Hi new guy!
Why 4 months? The ideas we have here are meant to upgrade the same phone to make it even better than the one you really want, or the one that isn't fully released yet !

Great comment!!
Agree
And also welcome new guy! enjoy this great site
welcome.
and believe me, you say your going to stay with it for four months...but you'll end up keeping it for a while. these great people here make your phone more than just a PHONE.
good luck.
and READ BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
EDIT: i see youre already looking into flashing roms...
hey new guy!
I agree with what everyone's telling you, after you join this site, you probably won't be switching out as often..all this customization here would take you longer than 4 months a piece to try out haha
group hug
welcome to the forum new boy
have fun.....and enjoy your phone......and make it beter
Welcome from another newbie!
Welcome to the forums! This is a really great place to learn everything about your phone. It takes ages to read through everything (I'm still not finished! LOL) but it is so worth it. Hope you'll be keeping your phone for more than four months. I just recently sold my Hermes and I felt a little sad but I had it for about a year and a half and was just dying for the Touch Diamond.
Enjoy it here!

Hi I was wondering what happened to JJ. I mean he was the king of cooks on hermes in the old days. Dos anyone know what happened to him?
He moved off to another forum a while back. My understanding was that the other forum would better allow him to manage the thousands of questions he was getting on his ROMS which he felt had been asked countless times.
I genuinely don't know whether he is still into developing ROMS; however there are a raft of excellent cooks and ROMs out there now which means one is spoilt for choice. We should continue to be in this great position if we continue to support the cooks we have left, especially from a donation perspective.
WB
Not dead, but it looks like he's had to leave the scene:
http://www.4winmobile.com/forums/hermes-black-rom-support/12730-hi-bye.html
(I haven't followed JJ's career since he left here, so this might have been superceded, your question made me wonder, so I went googling).
JJ
Ok I looked at your link at 4winmobile. So now we kno what happened to him. Sad though. Back in the days he was the only "real" cook that made the hermes an amazing toy. Hope he will be back one day...
not dead, still lurking......

Wait. 2008 was 4 years ago? Damn.
And welcome back JJ, even though I never heard of you, and I'm from the generation that thought NRG was the ROM God. lol
A 4 year bump is pretty impressive, especially when it's legit.....
Also, always nice to find out someone's not dead.
Bump
Here is another 4 year bump....
Hi All,
Like the title reads iam a new noob on the block...got my first WM device 9 months back and it was love at first sight...I started with a Imate - JAQ and now have a Tilt. Learning how to flash was a interesting and at times a frustrating experience especially with my Asus P527 but it was a rewarding experience nonetheless since iam now a flash junkie .
Have seen a lot of people who come into this new and ask questions on the forums which often go unanswered, for those who dont understand this phenomenon let me say that the best way to learn is by yourself and doing your research before coming up with questions since anything you learn the hard way stays with you.
Next Steps: - Well i think cooking my own ROM would be a worthy journey . Also wanted to say thanks to all the great people who run this place and provide information which makes life easier for the likes for me .
Cheers and keep rocking
Prabh

Howdy all,
I'm new to these forums and figured I'd just introduce myself and say hello (as I do on all forums I join).
I'm Rozza C and I currently own a G1 Android phone. I've been browsing the forums for a long time now, but never took the plunge to join, until now.
Anyway, that's about all I have to say.
Look forward to seeing you all in the forums! =)
Welcome!
I hope you enjoy to be part of this community as I do.
welcome aboard Rozza
search, follow the rules, have fun and be careful...u're gonna be addicted
Thanks for the warm welcome guys
My friend had a G1 than got a nexus one.... pretty sweet phone. Im new also, trying to figure out what I want to get on my miniscul budget LOL

Yeah I'm nearing the end of my contract now, so I'll be able to upgrade soon.
Problem is...I don't have any money, seeing I just finished university and haven't found a job yet! =O
So I might be sticking with the G1 for a little while longer...
^ Understand... except different situation. Got a job but a wife(well fiance) and child who suck all the money I earn away from me LOL...
Im thinking I'll go with a G1 myself also or a HTC tilt 2..... G1 would have to be unlocked (go AT&T)
LOL
I'm in the UK and I'm happy with my current network (T-Mobile)...
I just hope they give me a good renewal deal...
Welcome to XDA - you'll soon find yourself getting addicted!
t-mobile were doing the desire on an upgrade for free from what i remember, this was about 2 weeks ago though, but that does depend on your tariff! (this was for £25 a month)
They're decent phones, my brother got one recently and they beat the pants of my hero.... bring on that 2.1 update.....

Hi Rozza C.
Just a few tips to make friends...
Post questions in threads that have nothing to do with the actual topic
Start new threads, asking questions that are the top-most answered questions in the forum
Download cabs from developers that have spent a great deal of time making a product, and then post it as your own work and take credit for it
Yeah, basically don't do any of the above and you'll be okay

Keep THIS THREAD in mind if in the next couple months you start forgetting to do things like eat and go to work. There is help if you fall too far down the hole
So thee first time i found Xda i was looking for G1 hacks on google and i found this awsome website! How did you find it?

Indeed! If your talking to me
I sent a PM
There is already a thread with same topic but could not found it
I came here 1st time in 2006 looking for a new OS for my beloved Universal and since that time I am here living amongst XDA servers
Was looking for some apps for my Omnia I900 when i forst got it, amongst using this and modaco, I managed to flash winmo 6.5. I then moved onto HTC Touch Elf as I wanted a winmo phone but only had a symbian afterwards, and then got my Hero.
Best Phone Site Ever.
(And off topic kicks ass...)
Looking up hacks for my old old old HTC Wizard. My first touch screen smart phone.
BTW, I just realized I forgot to add it to my retired list.
I didn't find XDA. XDA found me.
I knew about it from a friend who never used it (said he heard about some X website for HTC).
A random guy saw me walking down the street with my tytn, commented on my super new at the time phone and asked what ROM i was running. He showed me xda on the spot and the rest is history lol.

Firstly from a Friends,

I try to just go throug life and let things happen. It's so much more relax to live like that. So, I try not to DO nothing, and embrace what comes around.
In that sense, I did not find XDA, but it came to me along with my first PDA, a Sanyo Cassiopeia (if I remember correctly), that a friend sold me second hand.
So, it's really the same story as many of the other posters, but my point of view is different.
In 2008, I landed my sweaty hands on a htc tytn 2 (unbranded one), so after a few months. I heard of a wm 6.5 and was I want it on my device also. After, a google search It bought out (drum roll) XDA_Developers.com
Had an SPV c550 and was having problems with it this must be 2006-2007 something like that and got thrown to XDA via link, then got a Magician and didn't join up untill got the Excailbur.
I remember it was 2007, I was curious to know how to tweak my dash...so I found xda just googling. I was 1 year just checking the site just following threads (not sign in as a member). Started looking around and flashed my first rom...stayed cool for a while when I realized afterwards there was another tweak that can looked good in my dash (NGRZ's energy rom for the excalibur) I flashed and brick my first dash .
So, in Nov 2008 I became a member...and yes my first thread was "help!!!! I bricked my dashed...please help me!!!......(not ashamed at all)
After that....a lot of reading, tweaking and bricking. One major thing also that sometime we don't mention beside phones it's the great people around here and friends that probably I will not meet during my life, but this site gave the opportunity to know them and share good momments everyday with them .
That is a touching story! One of the best I've heard
Let me 1st say a huge thank you to dzo and all the devs I have been following the vouge andoid from .9 - 2.2 from sd loading to nand flashing, from having to boot data in windows defore booting in to android, from the bule keyboard to rouge tools, and it has been a hell of a ride. The vouge was my 1st smart phone and I hated wm6 but android open up new doors, and hacking became a way of life. Im sad to say I was always in the background chicking for the next update, and never more then an end user. But everyone here always made me feel welcomed. I will miss my vouge thank you all for never letting it die and taking it places I never dreamed. I will miss all of you the most
however all things must come to an end, and im moving on with my new toy. I just picked a samsung galaxy s and will be joining that group. Thank you all again for last 2 years
Nate
Can we get a hip-hip hooray?
It's alright, boy. Some day most of us will move to another device. By the way, how did you get your Samsung Galaxy S? I want one used and cheap

Jamezelle, congrats on the modship!
I must say, going from my tilt with 2.2 to the sgs with 2.1 was a little bit of a disappointment but it's a great phone. Although I wish the community was as great as this one was.

hey Mssmison are you doing any development for SGS
i have the Verizon Fascinate and i know you are not in the US but i was hoping we might have a developer with you kind of back ground
if you bo build a Rom, will it work for Verizon (crosses fingers), let me know if you need any testers
got to dump this touchwiz crap they even build "bing" in to it
i never though i would see the day where "bing" would be the default search on an android
its so odd to go from 2.2 on my vogue to 2.1 on my SGS
that is why i will miss this group
everyone here worked so hard and got out updates so fast i think this is the best group on xda

i agree so that means we need to make it great
i just wish it was all one group because having it broken up by US carrier seams point less it would be easier for everyone to work together if it was one group
if you star developing roms and you need a tester for Verizon Fascinate let me know would love to get the SGS group working as well as this one did

i got my SGS from Best Buy in the US
and it was Free!!! which is the biggest reason i got this phone
Best Buy is running a deal where every Friday for the month of Oct. they are offering a different phone from each US carrier for free with a new 2 year contract
my contract with Verizon ended months ago and just like you i was waiting for a great deal because i was not going to pay $200 for a new phone when i had my vouge that worked great
I've also been following the development here. I am so very thankful for everyones hard work towards making the vogue as up to date as it can be. I last ran Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo 2.2 [Deodexed] [RLS15] before my phone broke. Somehow the charger I used at work fried the thing and I had to move on. I now have an xperia x10a. I have some mixed feelings about the thing but I guess it is upgrade enough. Anyway. Thanks again. I will still keep reading most of the stuff here on the vogue. That thing was pretty good to me.
when i see posts like this it saddens me because i know there is one less user to continue the legacy of the 6900. however it gladdens me that individuals will keep up with technology.
brings to mind a saying i got from my dad... all technology gets out dated - at that point we can chose to keep it alive for something else, or toss it.
he made that comment to me when my 486box turned Unix bit the big one via lightning strike.
good luck on your new journey sir- congrats on your new technology- may it suit you well.
