for me it has to be klin for his kernels and the epic baked (blackbean) rom best looking rom hands down....plus the fact he takes time out to consider peoples request/ queries and the speed that he gets problems fixed...

im quite new here but time and time again for one reason or another its klins name that seems to get dropped in alot of the forums for help or desired kernels that have never failed me to date....:good:

if i won i would gladly let klin keep both nexus 7's for development purposes because i know he would do great things with them....

I want to thanks to Quarx from Defy/Defy+ forum. He resurected a Froyo device and developed the project 'till now to the last possible android version (4.1.2, 4.2 comming soon for sure) for this quite popular ip67 device. Because of him and his co. (Epsylon, maniac etc) Defy and Devy+ receive official suport from CM team and these devices are quite potent in a world dominated by dual and quad-core devices.

This guy and co. show us that the passion can lead to perfection.

Because of him, I've purchased a Defy+ after my previous Defy was broken.

P.S. Interessing fact: we have a talented developer from Russia & a very good piece of hardware from USA! Great team!

I would like to thank Hashcode for his contribution on Motorola Devices. He has created something called Safestrap which lets you boot up 3 or more roms on few motorola devices. Not only this, he is involved regularly in the development of the roms (CNA, CM10, CM9, AOKP, AOSP) which have not been officially ported to Motorola Devices due to the locked bootloader. The bootloader had been bypassed by using Kexec Kernel (by KHOLK & [mbm] ) but its still not perfect. Few developers have abandoned this device, but there is still some hope for old Motorola Devices with locked Bootloader. Thanks for not leaving us Hashcode. :crying:

I can't decide between kholk and dtrail1 from DROID RAZR development section,

they are both very good developers and masters on their projects :)

So i'm going to tell you what i like about them:

dtrail1

His work on custom ROMs (especially his own ROM D-Wiz) and that he always

takes time to answer questions by the community :)

kholk

He developed KEXEC, the custom kernel for the DROID RAZR that makes

it possible for everyone to make the DROID RAZR even better

and created a base for the custom ROMs that they can use all

the ressources the RAZR has :)

In my opinion, both of them deserve to get a Nexus 7 to continue their good

work on more excellent devices :highfive:

At this point i want to thank both of them for their work and i hope you will

keep going for a looooong long time :fingers-crossed:

XDA developer I want to say thanks to the most is definitely Quarx.

His work for Motorola Defy is truly amazing. Without him, my Defy would've been left out with only Froyo ...

Because of him, my Defy can enjoy Jelly Bean 4.1.2!! ... :D

I'd been looking for a toughened phone to take geocaching with my kids and stumbled across the Defy development forum for CM10. Simply amazed by the quality, speed and robustness of these builds. I ended up buying a green lens defy with a broken digitizer on ebay, and one quick repair later had a fully functioning phone.

Around the same time my sister in law took out a new iphone 3gs contract on a frankly extortionate deal, my wife very kindly offered my new defy to her sister as an alternative to the 3GS. She loves it. So one trip to ebay later I was now in possession of a red lens defy with a broken digitizer, bet you can't guess what happened next! It turns out that my wife's aunt, who always buys me a bottle of Bushmills for Xmas is still using a Nokia brick from way back and the newly repaired Defy is now running the latest Quarx CM10 nightly and about to be wrapped up and placed under the Xmas tree as an introduction to the world of smartphones and Android.

I've finally got one all for myself, I use it as a backup phone, mp3 player, a wireless modem, and as a gps device for geocaching. Absolutely fantastic device, made even sweeter knowing that's running the latest CM build and a custom kernel, even with the locked bootloader.

Frankly amazed that Quarx can do what Motorola can't/won't do, provide quality stable builds which prolong the useful life of the device and reduce waste. I know that the contest is only open to US postal addresses, but you know what, if you choose this developer and my story, give him both! He deserves it!

Oh, one final thing, yesterday the postman delivered two more packages to my house, a green lens defy with a broken digitizer and a replacement part, my wife called me at work to left me know some parcels had arrived and asked what they were, when I told her, her reply wasn't "Oh God, not more bloody phones!" but a rather excited "Who you gonna give the new "tiny phone" to?" Well, it is Xmas soon. ;)

I bought two other defy+ thanks to quarx development (onw for my brother and one for his wife). I plan to update those phones to JB too as the latest roms with custom kernel are simply great! :victory:

I'd like to say thanks to Quarx for his awesome development on the defy[+]. When i bought my phone, it was quiet slow with Motorola's Stock Rom. After few weeks i wanted to sell my phone. But then i noticed Quarx hard work and i was suprised how good my phone can work with his Android 4.1.2 . He builded and booted custom kernel, without unlocking the bootloader. He builded and build absolutly stable rom's for the daily use.

I'm expecting Android 4.2 from Quarx and hope he will work for a long time on our lovely Defy[+].

So, thanks to Quarx,

The best developer.

my favorite dev... RandomBlame

Just when ICS was getting stale and the finishing touches to many desire hd roms were sure to be complete with the official release to come from htc the dev. community was hit with the big upset... htc was not to release ics supposedly to hardware and compatibility issues. And if this wasnt enough the android world got a surprise... jellybean 4.1 so now not only would we see any official ics but the hopes of seeing the new jellybean seemed to only be just that. Then one day a new thread pops up in the desire hd forum jellytime with a few snapshots of the 4.1 lockscreen displayed on an htc inspire in the dev's hand. As any new rom the functionality was limited but we soon were seeing a connsistant build in the thread. In a matter of a few weeks RB made what few thought possible android 4.1 running on the htc desire hd/inspire 4g. He and his team strived to make Jellytime one of the most mentioned and downloaded roms that i have seen since i held my first android device the N1. I am thankful that our community is filled with selfless devs like Random who give their personal time to create, build, and/or port new and exciting roms to our aging devices. He has turned me into a serial flasher with his constant updates that become increasingly better with each build. I wish him luck and look foward to his 4.2 release, Happy Turkey Day everyone!

I would like to thank Quarx. He brought back the life to an abandoned Motorola Device. He made the Defy (and the Defy+) an official CM device and brought CM7, CM9 and CMX to a device that was never meant to even run Gingerbread. Furthermore, he brought custom kernels to a device with a locked bootloader. All this attention for a 2 years old phone, shows a lot of passion and devotion.

Quarx is great

Every DEVELOPER do take great efforts and skills to build his ROM. But why the defy(and some non-defy) owners have such respect to Quarx since developing builds for Motorola phones with locked bootloader is a messing job and no one could believe such a low spec phone can gain so much power and compete with the phones with double of its value. The journey from froyo (actually eclairs) to Jelly Bean was fascinating and still going on. So my due respect for Him.

I know Quarx wouldn't be able to win as he doesn't live in the US but I would like just to say a couple of words.

Well really I want to thank all the motorola devs that work on the OMAP3 platform because without them many phones would still be on froyo or gingerbread with Motorola's half baked buggy skin :p.

Developers such as Quarx, Maniac103, Epsylon, czechop that allowed the rise of custom kernels with his patch on Ril finally working on 2ndboot :), Skrilax_CZ for his patches on the kernel, kabaldan for the PVR drivers, tezet, m11kkaa for his work on multi boot on the defy, Mozilla OS, multi touch drivers and many other little projects.

These are only some of the things I can remember off the top of my head sorry to anyone I miss and thank you to all.

Special Thanks to Quarx -

- For being just an allround awesome person

-For helping my getting my Kang of AOKP JB on the defy booting which gave the knowledge to Kang some other awesome AOSP ROMs.

-For giving me knowledge and always answering my noob questions

- For his continued work on Jellybean

Special Thanks to Epsylon-

- For his continued work on ICS and ever making it faster than JB in some cases thanks to the custom kernel.

- For helping me when I first failed when trying to self compile a build from source and also helping with porting Gummy ROM even though I failed :p

Special Thanks to Maniac103-

- For his continued work on gingerbread and making a very stable and solid build

- For his work on some patches for ICS which are also uses in Jellybean.

And Special thanks to XDA & all the Developers that work endlessly on devices, apps and other projects.

And words cant Thank developers enough for sharing their work with us users. ^__^

Cause i love my Defy, and it's still alive and up to date ... i'm a motorola fan, but when i bought a DEFY it was running under Froyo, and heard that motorola stopped support for my good old smartphone, and than i started using CM7 saying it's better than nothing, and better than stock rom.... and came the day when i discovered CM9 nightlies, i was so happy and followed all the progression and tried to help the most i can with bug tracking... and god oh my god JellyBean came and it was running smoothly on my old device, mounth before other recent and expensive ones... and it was made by quarx!!

Thank You Quarxy. and i've to thank too all the devs that worked on Cyanogenmod for Defy.. Nadalabak, Epsylon, Walter ... all people who are keeping alive our old phones :)

He has done some amazing work on the Defy, including making a custom kernel on a locked bootloader, as well as continual CM development with new builds being made every week.

I have been an XDA user for almost 5 yrs back when we were still on WM 6+ (the olden days), many developers have made incredible contributions. I have benefited as a user immensely from their hard work, I am thankful for their dedication and have tried to donate at some point or another to many of these valued developers.

The man who in addition to his full time job and family, very often tweeting or posting how he will get a new build up or trouble shoot an issue just as soon as he finishes with his children or family time is bruce2728. His work has brought Jellybean to the HTC Sensation and he continues in his quest to refine Jellybean 4.1 and bring us 4.2 as well soon.

Though I have moved on to the HTC One S, he deserves this recognition for his above and beyond service to the multitude of Sensation owners worldwide who have been left out in the cold by HTC.

So lets give that Nexus 7 to Bruce2728 he deserves it.

I bought this phone two years ago on motoblur Eclair. There was one official update to Froyo then dropped off the moto update list forever. Quarx successfully guided us through GB, ICS and currently my Defy is on a stable JB 4.1.2 with custom kernel.

I think I've flashed about 40 or more of his ROMs, each one better than the last. I'm up for a contract renewal with my carrier but have no reason to change... Tough on the outside, now tough on the inside thanks to Quarx!

I'm thankful for randomblame. He brought Jellybean to the Desire HD/Inspire 4G when we all thought there was no hope of seeing an official ICS release from HTC. From the ashes of the dreams that was ICS came Jellytime. He truly is a dev. worthy of a Nexus 7, not just because he can crank out releases faster then we can flash them but because like one of the devices he develops for, he inspires us. He inspired me to break out of the crowd and get involved in this community, even if it is just in the background. He inspired me to give developing a shot, and I'm slowly learning how to create something that I can be proud of, and maybe one day release it on XDA. He inspired all of us when he shared a very personal moment with us (that's for him to tell not me). It showed us just how strong he is. He inspired me (and I like to think most of his followers as well) to teach others what we've learned. So I followed along with his development, paid attention, and tried to help others with issues they where having. So I say this: Thank you randomblame. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and from the countless others who followed your development of Jellytime. Thank you for allowing me to step out of the crowd and help. Thank you for everything you taught me, no matter how small. Thank you for showing all of us just how strong you are as an individual. And thank you for giving us the gift that is Jellytime, even though I moved on to a different device, I'll continue to follow your work. Thank you.
