I created this thread as a way for everyone to get to know each other by name. We're a tight knit group of users in here, and I thought it would be appropriate for us to know each other by name. In the recent weeks, I've noticed an increase in bickering. Experience has taught me that when people know each other on a name to name basis, it creates a more personal atmosphere, where people are less likely to show disrespect to one another.:(

As your Moderator, my goal in the forums is to create a peaceful atmosphere, where people aren't at each other's throats. It takes away from the true purpose of XDA, and also pushes people away. Let's all work together to improve the overall atmosphere of these forums. After all, we're all here for the same reason; a passion for development, cell phones, and sharing thoughts and ideas. ;)

I'll start, my name is Danny W. :)

Reggie P.

Double0EK is the year and frame code for my vehicle. Hence 2000 EK, Honda Civic Hatchback. I used to frequent other forums related to Honda's and what not so I just kept that sn.

I've done some development on other forums. Mostly for my Motorola Cliq and Cliq XT. You can find some of my work on M3 (modmymobile) .com . I created an .sbf for the Cliq to flash using RSD Lite so other carriers could flash my .sbf and still get the latest firmware without getting bricked because the radio.img wasn't compatible. It also served as an attempt to unbricking the phone. Also missed a few apks to work on that little device.

I'm now not really into this stuff anymore just like to lend a hand when its needed and be a smart ass when the time is right.

Names Errol, Errol Roberts:cool: (does the bond look), lol:D Eh find me on fb, not that hard to find, I won't lie, I don't really talk much, I seem to socialize here more than anywhere else, well talking about something I'm into probably being why. My sn, I have no clue how I started using it, probably when I created my psn account, ended up using it on forums, think my first being when I used to unlock BlackBerry devices, been using it since then. Cheerio.

Everyone's throwing a little more out, so I'll add some more, I'm currently a student, gonna be working on my radiology degree for the next few years, after that I plan to work on becoming a doctor, technology and science have always been my strong points, I've put more actual studying towards science and kept tech as a personal hobby, though to be honest I think now I know much tech wise than science since I can pretty much troubleshoot and fix any pc issue and well I'm a quick learner, proved that after being here only a few days :D. I'm 21, yeah I know kinda late to go back to college, but I only came to the US about a year or so now, where I'm from (South America), the flag below my pic says the country, doesn't have much college or further education options after high school, so now I'm back on track to pursue my goals.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
Sure do. I shipped jrod a Backflip so he can port over CM7 to it. But he ended up getting a Backflip from KB7SQI brand new. So he ended up not needing it. It was fun back in those days...now its just a bunch of brand new people asking the same things over and over.

What the hell, I may as well jump in. My name is Mark. I'm not a dev, but I'm a pretty heavy user and have been toying with the idea of developing for a bit now. For now, I'll take the title of the oldest poster (43) until another geezer comes along.

I'm old enough to remember getting a Pong console when they first came out and being the most popular kid in my (small) hometown for awhile.

Google Plus link: gplus.to/MarkWallace101

I really do appreciate all of the work and effort that people put into making these phones even better than they were. It's gratifying to see folks doing what they love and sharing that with the community.

[HTC Amaze 4G] hasoon2000:
I'll shine in as well.

I'm Odai pronounced as Oh-Day. I'm 20 years old. I'm studying Business Management and doing a minor in Entrepreneurship. I'm also working on a Computer Technician Certificate program which I should hopefully have completed by the end of the summer.

I'm great with phones, computers and technology overall. I started making toolkits because I was pissed off looking for where I put all the files and what not so i wanted to sort things out easier, which brought my toolkits alive.

This is my first HTC device I have ever owned personally. I am still a Nokia fanboy for life lol.

I used to work for T-Mobile so I have a lot of knowledge on the company.

My name is Xavier :), this phone is the 2nd phone I've ever had, and the only reason I got it was because my cousing got a white GS 2 and had this phone to spare so I bought it off him, I was suppose to get a sensation but oh well

Infact I thought this phone had good development since it was the top notch HTC phone for t Mobile but I was wrong lol, anyway I decided I can't take my break at this moment, B) too many things going on and I need to be here

Pong definitely dates you, I would be dated by being one of the first to get a CD burner in high school and making burnt cd's for people and copied PS1 games, lol. I'm 31, and you can figure the name out, and have been trolling this forum for a couple of years now. Did my schooling in mech. engineering and got into the trades as a steamfitter. Not too many tech nerds out in the trades! But I love it :)

im here enough so i'll play along...my name is matt and im 33 years young. i work as a clinical dietitian in a hospital and have a motorcycle addiction. i have 2 bikes, both GSXR's, one is an 07 which is my baby (<3) and an 03 which is my race bike that i beat and molest like a dirty Vegas hooker :D and ride similar to this although, not quite as well lol

had a milestone xt720 as my first android and learned a lot of stuff, but it wasnt until i bought my mytouch 4g (still love that phone) that i started really getting into phones/android. it wasnt until getting my amaze that i became more than a lurker (for the most part)...

with that said, im glad to see that im not the "old man" around here and that pertpert is older than me! :p

[HTC Amaze 4G] electronicrice:
Hi everyone, my name is Eric, I'm 24 and I've been an Android fanboy since the Motorola Cliq days. My first smartphone was a PPC 6700 WinMo phone and then the PPC 6800 Mogul. I was actually pretty popular at PPCGeeks, and I developed and released a few ROMs and ROM Kitchens for those devices. I loved those phones and WinMo in its heyday. But now Android is king and there's just so much more to do in terms of hacking, tinkering, tweaking, flashing, etc.

I work in tech support for POS systems for restaurants and am going to school full time as well getting my degree in network administration. I have a siberian husky (hence the profile pic) that loves to go camping, which I do a lot of when I have time off.

PS. This is a really cool thread.

This is a cool thread nice to see friendly people. My name is Ernest lol Im a recently engaged 22 year old, love tech always mess with phones and jump from device to device often, this is my second amaze sold my previous one to a cool dude on xda although he sold it as well I believe. Came from the galaxy s2, a device with no shortage of roms but I love this phone so I had to come back to it at least till the next worthy phone comes a long. Currently reading and learning so that I can someday produce roms for my fellow xda people, I'm sure I can produce something now but I wanna get on a higher level to be able to truly produce new things, not just rehashed stock like roms. I got lots of respect for the devs who can make the roms we use, always like learning, between tech stuff and modifying cars I have a hard time picking between these two hobbies. :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] PeartFan40:
I see everybody sharing their careers and interests, so I might as well share mine.

As I stated when I created this thread, my name is Danny W. As my username implies, I'm a HUGE Neil Peart fan (drummer of Rush). I've been a drummer for 27 years. My drumming career started with the Royal Columbians Drum Corps. We were 65 members strong, and were State and National Champions several years consecutive. I was a double major in college, with a concentration in Computer Science and Psychology.

My life was put on hold May 16th, 2000, when a car slammed into me, head-on, with a combined speed of nearly 100 mph. It took paramedics 45 minutes to extricate me from my vehicle. I spent the next several weeks enduring more than 11 reconstructive surgeries, to put the lower half of my body back together. I have a ceramic and ball steel Stryker® total left hip relplacement, steel rod and pins in my right tibia, 3 screws in my right heel, rods and pins in my back, and plates and screws in my neck. Its been 11 years, and I'm still having reconstructive surgery. My team of Doctors told me I would never walk again. I spent a solid year in a wheelchair, and was determined to walk again. Sure enough, with a lot of hard work, determination, and a lot of f**king pain, I am now walking again.

If my car accident has taught me anything, its that you can not give up, no matter what. Pushing forward is the only way. My accident completely changed my attitude towards life. I don't regret one second, of one day since May 16th, 2000. The pain, the surgery, the fight, was all worth it. I compare everything to that experience. I got through that, which means I can get through anything put before me now. Eleven years later, and Im still dealing with reconstructice surgeries, and I will live with moderate to severe chronic pain for the rest of my life. I'm ok with that, because pain only reminds me that I'm alive.

ALWAYS believe in yourself, and always face challenges head on; it will only make you a stronger, better person. If my story has touched and motivated just one person, then my experience was worth it.

The day of my accident, I brought my car in for service, my repair ticket number was six six six...an hour after I left dealership, I was in my accident....

Awesome idea =).

My real name is David Turel (where the "Turellular Amaze 4g" comes from in my signature and on any screenshots you may have seen me post, its a running joke ha ha).

If it even classifies as one, my first smartphone was the original BlackBerry Pearl when it first launched. Hated that thing so much I traded it out for a Dash, then went to a wing, then got my (first) G1 as soon as it launched. And that is when I created this handle and even went as far as making a few cupcake themes back then lol (cowboy bebop, spider-man that open home hosted on the market for a time, megaman and a Gambit theme). Hated the brown so I switched it out for a black G1 then had the original mytouch, cliq, behold 2 for a short time, mytouch 3g slide, G2, Mytouch 4g slide and now my amaze =).

I've been in most of the corrresponding forums as I used those phones, but don't think I've been nearly as active in any forum as I am the amaze forum since the days of my first and second G1 he he.

As for my personal life, I'm currently in retail sales. I've been working in the cellphone industry for around 10 years now at this point, retail sales for 6 of those 10.

I'm obsessed with Subarus and have been playing bass for 17 years now (I'm 30). Was in a local band in one form or another for a majority of the time I've been playing bass. I used to be a part of, but now simply gig, with a band called Imaginary Airship based here out of Portland OR

I actually love how close knit this forum is. Nice to share on here as well =)

Wow man. That's truely incredible. I had a similar experience involving a car, me and that car's bumper 13 years ago that had a similar influence on my life.

My name is Xavier and if you get my sig then you are probably a Dragonball Z fan.

I had the og Droid, then the Droid x. Left Verizon's expensive network, and got on t mob for cheap. I live in Texas and love technology period.

[HTC Amaze 4G] ebatr8:
Best thing you will ever do, and no matter how sure you are of the outcome it doesn't take the nervousness away lol. As far as expenses for the ring you'd be surprised what the right jeweler can do for you to get you into exactly what you want most places let you trade up so you can start small. Of course there is always patience but patience is a virtue I've never had. Had a lot of friends switch from vzw their prices shock me sometimes just helped my buddy switch to an LG thrill 3D which like the amaze can be used on both tmo and att, he is now happily paying 50 bucks for unlimited everything with att go phone plan :). He use to pay 80 bucks for a cheap basic phone with Verizon.
