Hi all - Introductions

Hi! I used this forum quite a few times in the past in order to find alternative Android builds for my phones. But only created an account today.
I'm a QA tester and I created an account today so that I can ask a few questions, retrieve general information and maybe even help people.
XDA forums are one of the best things that ever happened to Android in my opinion. What I like about it is that in my opinion everyone should use his/her hardware the way we want, just like a PC. Although I don't have the immense technical background some of you have, I want to keep control, as much as possible, on what I do with my cellphone, and what it does on it's own.

Glad you joined XDA! We could use a QA tester around here. Enjoy the forums! Cheers

New members

I notice a lot of new members joining this fantastic website, great the more members the better the knowledge pool.
Sadly I note that a lot of these new members are all asking the same questions, such as:
Which ROM is best
How do I install cab files
Whats the best software
Tweaks that work for
I like many other members spend a considerable amount of time just gleaning the info we need for our particular device and am grateful for the time spent by the developers who do the hard work.
Thanks to you all
However, the noobs want it all served on a plate!!
I have a suggestion, when a newly registered member of the group joins they are limited only to post in stickies for a the first 20 or so posts. Then, hopefully they would have gleaned the info wanted from those areas before being let loose in the wild.
Just a suggestion

Hello,
My name is Lancey David. Im the senior designer for G.G.G. (GoGetGadget.com). Our team are currently creating a technology news site similar to Slashgear.com and Gizmodo.com and looking for people who may be interested in joining our team. We are currently in development stage and looking for people who may be interested in joining a community and or help post news and or find information out on the web about new developments in the technology world. If interested reply, or message me.
Hello Lancey!
I'm a web design student. If you need any kind of help, feel free to email me. I'd be particularly interested in writing technology tips and tutorials (like I already do on my own blog).
Also, you should put a theme on that blog. Start with something free and buy a unique one whenever you make money from it.
hey,
the blog in which you see now is only temp. Matter of fact we are not touching that specific template at all. its just there for technical use. I will be emailing you tho, thanks!

What Motivates You?

What motivates developers on XDA to develop? I've always wondered this when following ROM's and asking for help.
I've seen a vast array of developers here on XDA, granted I only really stick to the sections for my phone at the time, but all developers I've encountered in each section are all, dedicated, master's of their trade.
Devs? What motivates you to build a ROM for a/your phone. Is it your career and you use XDA as a platform to hone your skills? Is it that you want ROM development to be your career and hope that you are head hunted for your awesome ROM? How do you deal with all n00b comments? *cough* Hacre *cough*.
Another question within a question. Have you as a dev or contributor ever been offered or hopefully, accepted a job offered to you as a result of your time here at XDA? (I don't think this question is against the rules, let me know and I'll edit.)
Anyways, I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say thanks devs, keep it up.

Hi, I'm Silvan

Hello everyone
I was a long time iOS user and now switched to a Pixel Phone with CalyxOS. At the beginning I had difficulties to start but the Android community surprised me... many developers create excellent FOSS and are ready with helpful tools and solutions.
I crossed the way to the XDA forum a few times, but that I finally registered now is due to the GCam port of @cstark27 (by the way, works great thanks ).
I am mainly user and more on the newby side and joined the forum to:
- Ask questions,
- to exchange experiences,
- To get news and information about my device and ROM.
- To honor what developers and the community do.
I wish everyone a great day and soon a nice weekend

Hello Silvan and welcome to XDA!
Nice you moved to Android!, Youll find loads of knowledge and a nice community.
Enjoy your stay!

Hello XDA Community!

Hello my name is Randy Steward, I recently learned about this community upon looking for answers I pertaining to my new android head unit for my WRX. I was so impressed with the amount of topics and solutions that I decided to join his community.
Aside from being a computer nerd and a experimental music composer, I am a father of two boys and I enjoy being involved in their lives and also learning and teaching new things to others.
Other than that, that is me in a nutshell.
Although this community seems to be more focused on the tech side And information regarding certain tech issues if anyone has any music needs or questions regarding most topics I’ll try to do my best to stay active
In the community!
thanks,
StiRan83
Welcome to XDA StiRan83! Nice story, I hope you'll enjoy your stay here with us.
If you want/need to talk music, there's not necessarily any forum for this... or wait maybe the off topic section?
