Hi everyone!
It might sound silly and i hope i post it in the right section, but i just bought the S3 mini(N version) and before i buy a new device i check XDA community status, checking for custom roms, root, recovery etc etc....
coming for a very huge community of a flagship device(HTC Desire HD, which had 4.2.2 update just a few days after official google release)
i was disappointed to see not too many roms in the development section especially for the N version (and no fully working CM rom),
but it was still enough, so i bought it and i'm very pleased.
Nowadays i see the community flourish! new N version compatible roms, toolkits, themes, all updated and with constant replays from the chefs,
so a question pops into my head... why now?!
the device was released in November 2012... what took so long?
i do understand it's not a flagship device but still.... i'm wondering...
i know the reason i bought the device right now it's because of it's low price at the moment(about 350$ in Israel).
on the same note i would like to thank all the developers and who ever is contributing to this wonderful community, may it continue to grow!!!
The community's been around for a while. This phone's only about 6 months old, root was gained inside a week, and they were struggling to get a working recovery that didn't cause a soft brick for a couple months. Give the devs time to get us a working CM build.
Sent from Spaceball One.
Chill out, better now than never, take a look at Galaxy Ace, it's from 2010 (?) and still receives new roms and updates. I prefer our phone to be maintained for 2-3 years than have a quick but short span of excitement and then nothing.
let's clear something, i am chill and i praise the devs for the work for how long it will take,
it was all from curiosity! sorry if anyone thought otherwise!
you gave me good answers and i see the development moving on rapidly, may this device will have support for at least a few years.
thanks guys.

It is great phone. I am sure that developers will make great stuff for it. Cheers
HI you guys are awesome
Well hi all, I'm 'new', but not really that new, since I've been searching through XDA topics on many occasions for quite a few years now. Not sure why it took me so long to actually make an account, but here I am.
So about me - half geek, half creative, F/LOSS enthusiast for over 20 years, full time Linux user since 2006, interested in way to many subjects to ever become a specialist in any of them within at least a dozen of life spans. Hence I don't think I'll ever be able to call myself a developer, but hey, we'll see ;-)
Hello everyone, i'm back here after a long, long time
I used to read alot here when i was 10 - 15 but I think i switched to iOs during 2010s and i never really had my phone in the center of my occupations so i bought some macbook & iphone and i started to learn code. (mostly js)
I would be really happy to help users here, if i can, and discuss about my new device. 2020s seems to be redditable as **** tbh, the xda lost kid became some kind of creative dev who's going back to the r00t
Thank you for everything I have read here over the last years!
More than anything, XDA is a community, and we're all here for different reasons.
Some are here to mod their phone--some joined just to ask a question. Or perhaps, like many, you joined so long ago, you have no idea why you're here (which is totally fine! we've been around for almost a decade). And we're in the process of making XDA more useful to everyone here now that we've moved to much better forum software.
But we'd love to know your XDA story: why are you here, and who are you? What's your day job, what phones do you have, where do you live, what do you like to do for fun? We'd love to get to know you!
Also, be sure to spend some time filling out your profile:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/account/account-details
And also adding what phones you have to your inventory:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/account/xda-devices
thanks and welcome. I'm one of the guys in charge and my DMs are always open if you ever want to chat or even complain.
Go ahead and make a new thread in this forum instead of replying to this post.

What's up,
I'm youngspeed and I'm here to further my knowledge on tech. But I also have a few questions.
1 how do I sign in to the app because it redirects me to my browser to confirm authorization but when I do it takes me back to the XDA app but doesn't sign me in. (Update: I was able to sign in so I don't have a question about this anymore)
2 does anyone know how to get Google Camera on the Samsung A10e without rooting or flashing because I have been trying but no success. If there is a way can you send the apk please?
And lastly how do I make a discussion? Thanks

Hello. I have an LG expression 3 and a MotoG 7 power .i am here looking for a ROM or theme for both phones.
A while back I had an AOPk boot animation that was awesome and the alien ROM ( I think) . it had awesome fonts and icons. I was wondering if UI theme kitchen is still around and if either phone is rootable and or would be compatible with the theme kitchen. ?? Its been a while but I really hope you can help me find something . both phones are pretty plain and boring .
Hey All,
I am a Redmi 5 user and I am here in XDA to find a way to root my phone and also see that, if there is any possibility that I can upgrade the Android version as mine is stuck at version 8.
Well i like the internet especially for the opportunity to learn from others and share information with people that equaly appreciate the content as much as i do.
Here i gonna admid i am more on the newby side.. I played around with phones in the past. Mostly following up tutorials of people that really understand what they are doing... And this way i can create something with their help that me on my own would be hard to accomplish... We build on each other in different aspects of life and here i am appreciating to receive knowledge of the ones that are really into electronics/software/programming. ..
Its a strange, extremly complex but logic world that i find myself in when dealing with modifiying electronics .
Thanks for sharing this with me
Hi all,
I was in read-only mode for years and now I had to reply to a post.
I've got a Samsung S8, S20 FE, Chinese Android car head unit. I'm interested in Android apps to make my devices more usable, comfortable and so.
Thanks for everyone
Hi there!
I hope I can find all the answer for my question without posting, so I don't bother you
Heya, I am Aaron, joined XDA for useful apps, support and to comment under programs or roms I use, nothing much to know about me

Hi,
I've just joined to find a solution for my update problem for my unlocked Att LG Velvet. I'm also interested in learning more about flashing firmwares, custom ROMs when the time comes.

Welcome to XDA!
Have a good read and enjoy!
Hi. I'm a french CS engineer and a Debian addict.
I systematically root all my phones and have a specialization in tuning the iptables to not talk to the GAFAMs. Rooted phones so far : Huawei codenames HAM, NEML51, old samsung phones, a couple of Wiko phones.
I've been following XDA-developers for a decade and decide now to onboard :
* Short-term goal : get some help on a very edge case involving dm-verity and kali nethunter on Nexus5X (bullhead)
* Long-term goal : wait patiently for the day when a full debian phone / ubuntu touch will be available at a relatively low price, and help all along
hi. im just a nobody playing around with his phone 3
Hey all! I'm oneiromon. Oneiro=dream, and -mon is a reference to my age, the (original) pokemon generation.
Anyway, I've been programming since I was very young... Was moderating an old qb45 forum when I was 13...
i have been known by many names but that was many moons ago
anywayyyy I've been playing around rooting phones and whatnot mostly just as a hobby...
got myself a oneplus 8t and i'm hooked...
I joined the forum because I'm having trouble acquiring a stock boot image for an Onn Surf Gen 3 Tablet (100071481)...
I am trying my best to figure out how to pull the stock boot image but I'm having some troubles...
If anyone is willing to just post the boot.img I would be super grateful!
And I spend enough time on these forums anyway...
Now that I've finally made an account I promise to contribute good vibes and whatever assistance I can offer!
Thanks!

Hi and welcome to xda
Wish you a good time here
Hey!
As I always adhere to the rules (haha) I want to introduce myself. I switched (back) from iOS to Android about a year and a half ago and last time I used Android devices was back in 2016.
I have always used Custom ROMs and after using Android again a while I wanted to try that again. I figured out that either I'm a bit outdated in terms of playing around with the system of my device or it has gotten a bit more complicated over the years. However, I need some help and wanted to use this forum.
Best,
mckinley87
Welcome back to XDA and continue to enjoy the forums!

Hello there! I'm Kspiderman (ofc from my username), not brave enough rn to share my real name (maybe in the future I will edit this post and share it). My explorating into android roms and android in general started when I was given my mom's old Samsung A7 2017 phone, which ofc has support only till android 8, and that my dad didn't want to buy a new phone. Came across a youtube video on Samsung one ui 1 android 9 on this phone, didn't understand at first, but then after coming here, I understood how to install TWRP, install custom rom, and finally successful. Ofc I craved for more android versions lol, so kept on trying new roms daily, tho it was my daily driver lmao. And then learning how to root, rooted applicated, modding and theming, I grew closer to this community and a sudden desire of mine wanted to help you all how much ever I can and become more close! I also plan to create a custom rom or support a device once I get into college, maybe use my daily driver, or buy two phones, or try to update Samsung A7 itself but looks like it's support is coming to an end soon (well not that soon, but yeah), but I shall do my all to contribute to each and everything I can here and become a member of the XDA family!
PS:- I don't understand how the hierarchy here is assigned since I've become a senior membor now and idk when that even happened or didn't notice until today lmao. So pls explain that too me too, thank you!
Well looks like the didn't apply on the heading
Edit:- Nvm fixed that lmao
