To all devs and members of this great forum,
I have enjoyed seeing the development of such a old and dated phone (that was on the bridge of death) being brought back to life. I have learned so much from all of you. It was hard at first for a mac guy to understand some things, but many of you were extremely patient with me. Thanks especially to Incubus26Jc, Myn, Dzo and that crazy guy…cp0020! lol
I now will be enjoying my new iPhone4! It makes sense to have in my world… since I am a mac guy!
I will stay intouch.
man the last few months have taken its toll on our ranks
Man, if you can, you should donate your phone to one of the developers if they're phone every bricks. Enjoy your new iPhone .

someday i will have an iPhone, if and only if they ever get away from their current provider (nothing personal, just preference)
I don't know about you guys, but all this drama between GB/CM9/ICS with hardbricks left and right is exciting to watch. I do feel bad for the brickers though...but all this tension is damned entertaining. I especially enjoy everyone coming together to share their experiences and to help each other out.
Keep up the good work everyone! Enjoy your devices!
It definately is amusing, XDA's own little ICS soap
The only thing that bothers me is people still recommending Stunner or other LP6 based roms in several threads. Somehow it seems fair they brick their devices as well, that'll teach em to read

It maybe exciting to watch but definetly not exciting live with in it!!! I am lucky to survive with a working device
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 got my first android in September of last year, within a month I was on xda, and by November, I had an account cause I thought I knew enough to help some folks. 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!

Next time I catch you posting a ridiculously unnecessary "IB4L" post I'm going to ban you. There are more pointless posts from you around here than there are pointless threads, and that's quite an achievement.

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!

I haven't been here long enough to see much change but it's certainly awesome

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.
I have learnt to be polite when I am angry, i have learnt to appreciate ones efforts. I have learnt to respect ones work.

I've been here since February of this year but I've lurked since mid 2011. I have to say this is THE best forum ever!
My beloved Desire HD is my first Android phone and I'm loving every second of it
I was previously a proud owner of A Nokia N95 8GB which was one of the best and sturdiest devices ever

Thats great. Now I see many people with budget phones. which proofs what xda stands for..... everyone should have equal oportunity to have the best phone they can.
Hacks make devices live longer and us spent less money on smartphones. But we still love them!:thumbup:

I've known about xda since I've had a G1 in early 2009. I didn't join until I got Sparky a MyTouch 3G (3.5mm jack) in June 2010. I'm a relative newcomer compared to some....I really put what I learned here to good use when I got my Nexus One in late June 2010....and I've had tons of phones since and I learnt more with each one.

Well I started this January. I thought that i was just going to fix my player (it was a bootloop but i thought it was a brick )and be gone but boy I got addicted to this forum. And to this date I am still addicted. Check out my thread. Its like hilarious now that I know that stuff a bit.

Yes its been a great experience!
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!

Yeah man HTC were totally wrong about ICS and Sense. Forget ICS and Sense 3.6 (sorry Team Blackout and Pacha Nero) we have ICS and Sense 4.1 thanks to torxx!
And I agree we've made companies think twice about their products

Hello,
Some of you might not know about the passing of Semeon best known as @simms22. He passed away yesterday.. not sure how and why, but he has left us. I knew Semeon for 4 years and he was well known for his Kernels. He will be missed dearly!! He brought many smiles to people and he will always be remembered.. R.I.P. Buddy..

RIP Simms22, thank you for your contribution.
I'm a newbie but I really admire his Kernels.
I was so shocked and saddened to read the post from his mom on Facebook. He'd just posted photos the day before. RIP Simms.
Its always sad to lose a fellow XDA member. Especially since he was such a great contributor to the community. R.I.P Simms22
He gave so much of his time to this forum, helping people and contributing. I became aware of him probably 4 or 5 years ago because of how active he was answering questions and sharing his knowledge. A sad loss for the XDA community.
RIP @simms22

Hello everyone, I'm New here
I used to read a lot here when I was 17- 18 but I think I switched to iOs during the 2019s and I never really had my phone in the center of my occupation 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 my new device. 2020s seems to be creditable 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 few years!
