Introductions - Off-topic

Greetings! I'm surprised there is no forum section for introductions on this site... Anyways, I thought I'd just introduce myself.
Got a used G2x a day ago and am loving it so far. Got unlimited 4G and got this phone that's practically brand new for $200. Score! I used to be heavily into iOS "customizations" but I don't think i'll be switching back from android ever again. Already rooted and running Weapon G2x.

And what´s wrong with The Say Hi Thread?

In addition to G2x General, there should be a G2x complaints forum. And a mod could just move all the whining into there so that truly good information remains visible in the General forum.
For example, someone posted "How to do a Full Wipe" thread in the development section, and someone suggested that was the wrong section and it should go into General. This is very true, however a useful thread like that will get buried among the million whining threads in General and never be seen.

Need Some Help From My XDA Family!!

Ok first of all, this post has nothing at all to do with Android except for the fact that I used to be a developer for the HTC Eris and am now a themer for our LG Revolutions.
Here's how I need your help. All I need is for my fans here at XDA, to support a very good friend of mine from back home. I can't believe I never thought of asking this before but here goes the backstory.
One of my very good friends from back home, Ryan Andreas, tried out for America's Got Talent. He flew past the first round but for some reason the judges never gave him a second thought. This guy is a phenominal singer! I'm not just saying that because he is my friend. I'm saying it because I believe it. All I need you guys to do is to watch his performance (and his other home made videos if you want) and judge for yourself. If you feel he is worthy of your support, then please buy his album when it comes out! Even if you don't buy his album, then please at least stop by his website and give him some words of encouragement. Here's the video, thanks guys!

Quick question. I used to be over at the eris forums myself and I was wondering what ROM was it that you were working on. I miss that little eris that could.
I had a Froyo build and a Gingerbread build but they didn't get much recognition since Tazz and Shed came out with their builds way before mine. My Froyo build was called FroHicks and my GB build was called TastyBread.
That's so crazy! He was actually one of my favorites! I couldn't believe it when he didn't make it through!

Yeah we were too, I was in the audience rooting him on for his first performance and so mad when he told us they wasn't sending him through to the next round. So I figured I would try to do my best to get his name out there. He should be coming out with a cd pretty soon hopefully!
And I know exactly how you feel, I love Americas Got Talent!

Wandered into Off-Topic and can't find my way out! Where is the door anyway?

I spend more time in ot than any useful thread. Not complaining, only wondering if anyone else got trapped in here too

The thoughts people get into their heads when they get Android phones.

I really hate when someone new to Android walk over to me (my school is full of retards [no pun intended]) and ask me to get them free apps. They ask me if they have to jailbreak their phones and if they have to install something. As the conversation grows I realize how dumb they are and they only make me angrier everytime they ask an even dumber question. Has this happened to you or does it happen to you a lot?
I guess I have rooted like 20 droids till date for my friends ...so yeah but once thy get how to do it and read on xda they are on there own ....
I have successfully setup ONE friend with a rooted phone, although I flaunt my skills A lot. It boggles kids minds since I'm in football, powerlifting and build my own roms haha
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
Damn... I miss the MyTouch 4G, the last rom I had on that phone was Sense 3.0 and that was when it first came out and was buggy as hell. Miss that phone :/
Most of my friends that I end up talking to about Android stuff have already rooted themselves and done a bit of modification including possibly flashing Roms.
And this my friend is how you can make thousands of dollars a month =)

I agree. In 5th grade I got like 50 bucks for jailbreaking kids itouch. Those were good days... Although at my school, I feel like I'm one of the only kids that choose an android phone over the iphone. Everyone else with android just got it because iphone was to expensive for them. Makes me sad how society is right now...

Time Frame/Tell your story here on xda![Archive]

I would like to do a time frame. Where we could talk about our years here. Lets see who is the oldest and what we have gave to this forums.
Personally Ive been here since 2004-05. And basically since its started when it was hard to read the texts on my razor and this was basically Htc only.
This site has been great for me and sometimes missed the simplicity of the starting years. And I believe this forums are the true shapers on the mobile era.
Please post youre time. and a story
I have a few but ill start with loosing my first account. Dont even know how it was called!

I do enjoy the community, even though leeches are always making devs angry (IMO, both their faults). I haven't been around as long as OP, but I know my way around the Nexus S, and android itself!

well guys tell me, how was xda when you started and how is it now.
How It modified for better or worst?
For me it has been awesome. Ive been impressed since the beggining till mow. How guys seen to know more about devices than now.
when I started the threads were a little difficult to understand. and everything was in one main page. where you could find rhe .cab files. but you had to keep scrolling down to find what you were looking. Now its all organized and eye candy.
keep it going Lets make this thread an archive!

Bro please stop that before you get banned! youre affecting the course of this thread. Im investigating abut how old is this thread and how long its been effective on the people. I think a great part that since 2003i the % of people buying smartphones has grown from a 20% to 90% has to in great part to forums like this. specially this one. people started to know about hacks and how they affect they to bennefit the costumer rather that the company.
Xda has been the pioneer when people started to know about roots and other methods of hacking the os of their devices. making them better. and having features locked by carriers. Xda has been there to keep this idea forward. and I want people to start talking about xda's evolution. and the we could take this info and make it a news letter for people to continue the tradition which we started years ago!:thumbup:

I for one part started to love this place when I had my Razor. I started to know about firmwares and hack. and every time I searched the web I ended here. there werent the hacks I needed then. That led me to my first account. but it was good to know this was there. and to read about people doing amazing stuff.
This led me to buy my first pocketpc-smartphone. a Treo 750 which I bought from second use and I still have it running a custom wm 6.5 rom with titanium.
Then I bought an Lg incite (wm) which kept me here but most of my time on lg-incite.com
the site grew and my fasination for htc too. not to be surpriced as most of the hacks where make for this devices.... check the history of the first diamond with manila. ( what we call now Sense)
So it led me to buy a Diamond 2
this was another revolution. I was a moderator on the htc-pure forums. but kept my profile here. and was as always morw and more in love with this site as I continued to know that the hacks came from here.
Now on the Dhd I had a bittersweet relation. many forum memebers dont like to keep tradition. But this continues to grow fast. Proof of this is the compact view.
We shall continue making history!

I have been here on xda since 11th of june 2012 thats not even six months. But this place has taught me how to do awesoome stuff with my low end phones (galaxy 5 and galaxy y ) but also taught me many more things,things which no school teaches.

That's the purpose I want to share how we've come from all over the world.And reshaped business. We've made companies think a bit more about their costumers, although we still need to keep this going proving them wrong in every corner. Like for example Desire Hd and ics!
