[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] aspidites73:
Everyone please read!

DAGr8, Flappjaxxx, and everyone else associated with making this ROM, Thank you very much. Although you may deny it, you all are very important to Android end users like myself. Not only do you improve the phones we all rely on, you provide support that, in many other industries, would be outsourced to some foreign land. You are available, and don't hide behind a toll free number that re-directs to someone without a clue. Most importantly, you do this for the joy it brings you. These statements are well deserved but also provide me with a segway to two very important points I would like to make.

First and foremost is for anyone who has posted a question, idled in irc for the goods, used something from this project to improve your device, or simply wanted something more unique. You paid AT&T, Rodgers, T-Mobile, Samsung, etc., etc., to provide you with a product. By mere fact of having an XDA username, you believe said product needs, or minimally could use, improvement. These improvements are FREE but, they are not without cost. Our Devs spend hours of their time making a ROM they are proud to attach their names to. They spend their money, oftentimes much more than us, to obtain the same phones we get at a discount for signing a contract. Yet, how many of us have honestly hit that donate button and bought our Devs a beer or three? There are over 530 pages, mostly of questions, in our thread alone. How many have though to thank someone for an answer. The bottom line is don't think for one minute that just because it is free to be here and click the download link, there aren't people who deserve a few bucks for their time providing us a reason to come. Today is Friday, the most popular payday in the USA ( i can't speak for other countries). After you read this and before you spend it all on booze, cigarettes and strippers, show our Devs that they are appreciated. Links are in the |OP| and in their signatures. There is no reason to say you can't find it. That brings me to my second point.

How many times do we need to read the same questions? Does instagram work? How do I flash? Do I need to do a full wipe? Why are my contacts FC'ing? How do I fix (insert generic problem here)? We shouldn't have to read most of them even once! People, learn how to read the directions that are clearly posted with the ROM download link and stop looking like idiots! I've seen Devs abandon their public presence for much less. Speaking for myself, I DON"T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN. If you don't either, start reading.

Some of us, you know who you are, could have stopped reading this after the first paragraph, for the remainder doesn't apply. Many of us (i say us in both categories because I've made a dumb post or two) need to read this post twice. Still more need my last bit of wisdom (although not an original idea. Then again, how much wisdom is an original idea :cool:)......

You can find the answer to nearly every question you have in the link I've provided below. This is an all inclusive, easy to use, and available to everyone here, place to find answers. Please, before you post a question, at least check here for the answer. We beg you!!!
