Well, even though I have since found better ROM's for my phone my favorite developer will always be Tigger31337 for being the only developer who's guide I found detailed enough to finally take the risk of flashing a ROM onto my phone. Without starting off on his WildChild ROM for my Wildfire S I'd probably still be sitting on Stock right now and not even using XDA. Also, I'd like to thank him for introducing me to Custom Kernels as well, ever since using the Dust v9.0 Kernel (not developed by him, but it's through him I found it) I've used it on every GB ROM I've had along with his recommended CPU Governor of "Scary" and I/O Scheduler at Sio. And apart from that he basically took all the good features of Sense 2.1 and improved them, as well as removing everything un-necessary from it. So, yeah. Thanks Tigger31337! :D

I feel the best dev that has gone above and beyond for me would have to be Garrett from the original Galaxy Note international thread. I reached out to Garrett because the i717 galaxy note didn't have a update to date MIUI rom, and Garrett has his own rom on the international note section. Garrett was so awesome because still to date he has continued to bring the i717 the latest MIUI rom updates with out even having the i717. Garrett has gone above and beyond the quality of being a Dev and deserves something special. :D

The one who really should have a Nexus 7 is a great dev. When I had my Nexus S, the only rom I used were his. Ofc I tried others. But no other rom was like his. The rom were op, nothing were even close to beat it. When I heard that he was going into military duty in 9 months, it felt like my g33k world was falling into pieces. No more updates... But the great dev gave us a last one, it was the best thing I had ever used on a phone. All of you guys who have owned a Nexus S know who I'm talking about. The almighty CyberGR! :D No other person deserves a Nexus 7 like he does, how many devs going to military dute and still helps his rom users with rom problems? Not many. But CyberGR does. He is a great man. And when I heard that he is probably moving to Galaxy Nexus, my life became whole again.

Like I mentioned before, NO ONE deserves a Nexus 7 more than this man.

Peace.

My thanks go to kallt_kaffe, for bringing unimaged sweetness to my Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9

If by any chance I win the contest, I would like to donate the second Nexus to safariking for his work on AOSP.

I know that a lot more devs earn a big thank you, but kallt_kaffe's rom is the one I use daily.

I think my favorite developer should be Agrabren for his work on HTC Evo 3d!

why? I bought my Evo 3d because it was a good device with good GPU good CPU and ... and of course because it has 3d, but after 1 months I discovered I really hate sense, I think sense makers think peoples using a mobile device are stupid(sry sense lovers, it's just my idea), and I think sense is a stage for evo 3d, I was angry because of HTC Sense and there was no rom with even working camera, after a while I'd see a new developer thread, yeah! cm with working camera!so I installed cm9 from agrabren on my device and I'm really happy now with my device even without 3d!!(now I have cm10 from my lovely developer)

so I should thank Agrabren ;)

My thanks go out to dragonzkiller < http://xdaforums.com/member.php?u=4152732 > for his work on the Motorola DX2. He brought us CM7 and CM10 on a device that Motorola said was not feasible. He's also been working on Kexec for the X2. All this goodness despite Motorola's refusal to unlock our bootloader for true CM7/!0 goodness!

For me it would definitely have to beJosh Beach .

I came to the XDA Community right after picking up my Galaxy Note 2, after doing some searching about rooting and flashing. Once getting on the Site and looking through various users setups I started to take notice of a couple badass setups come to find out they were the work of Josh Beach and Team VeNuM. So I did my research on the rooting process and getting all my ducks in a row (Thanks to QbKing77, extremely helpful to anyone looking to root or get the full potential out of their Android device. Very humble dude who isn't above answering questions to anyone whether noob or not. Nothing but Respect and thanks to him as well). Executed my first root and flashed my first custom ROM the JellyBomb ROM, and I'm absolutely loving it. Josh (along with his support crew and other Devs) works countless hours non stop to get these wicked ROMs out there into the community for the users. He is also very vested, he is constantly looking for feedback and opinions to throw stuff into the future versions. People ask for a theme or certain MOD, and boom days later its there. Also a humble dude as well, always trouble shooting for people and offering help. Not just take it or leave it approach.

To make it simple he works his ass off and his hard work and mad skills are due a Thanks. And a Nexus 7 is a good start, definitely made me a rooter for life now. After running this setup the is no going back. Thanks a million Josh Beach:good: (and Team VeNuM along with all the devs who contributed to the JBomb cause. And to QbKing77 for the great videos and reviews taking the stress out of the process for the first timers out there! )
[General Topics] dessolator666:
So, if you've been to the BABBQ chances are you saw agrabren's presentation, if you missed it for some reason, here's the gist:

agrabren is a dev working on the HTC Evo 3D (3VO) he's been working on getting JB functional on the 3VO. The project name is Disarmed Toaster (DT) and it was the focus of agrabren's presentation. I know what you're thinking (well, actually I don't but I can guess :D) "what's so special about this?" well,

1.)DT is AOSP based and getting any non-Sense rom to work on an htc phone is a big enough problem by itself not to mention that DT covers both GSM and CDMA

The 3VO is a nightmare to work with, there's a CDMA and GSM version of the phone. If that's not bad enough the 3VO has some rather specific hardware, namely: two back cameras and a stereoscopic 3D screen. And the frosting of the cake of horror? HTC couldn't make up their mind about which cameras to use so about half the models have 2*5MP cams while the other half has 2MP + 5MP.

HTC hasn't exactly been great with supporting the 3VO in terms of software, we got a very tardy official ICS with sense 3.6 which had numerous bugs and horrid battery life, so thank you agrabren for helping this neglected phone shine.

2.)DT uses Aroma installer to allow the user to choose between 3 flavors of android (Paranoid Android, CyanogenMod 10, AOKP) and kernel to be flashed as well as which apps and patches the user would like preinstalled

Well, to put it plainly, not 1, not 2, but 3... yes it sounds like a sales pitch, but flashing a new version puts a smile on my face just knowing I have the choice.

3.)last but not least the Aroma installer gives you a choice of 22 (i'm not kidding) languages in which to proceed

So one lazy afternoon I'm browsing about and decide to check on DT... suddenly I come to the realization that the thread exploded, agrabren suggested translating the installer, and over a span of about a day the thread got 5 pages of people lining up to translate. Yes, I know xda is a community, but nowhere have I seen that quite as clearly as here. Thanks again agrabren for pointing it out!

Mijjah74 is my fav. dev, when ICS first leaked for the epic 4g touch. His rom was incredible. He always helped me when I needed help, replied to my PMs right away and also on his twitter account. Till Today he is still updating the ROM even though he has the SGS3 now. Mijjah and Bigtoysrock... BOTH rock O.O!

When I write about the developer who impacted me most, a name comes into mind. This name happens to be the name Randomblame. Random was the first developer to port android 4.1 to an almost dead phone. Development for the Desire HD had slowed down to a standstill. Great developers were moving on to other devices. But, Random did his duty and worked hard to port 4.1 to the DHD. Not only did he do a good job, he also put up with us. I remember being a noob, and asking stupid questions. He answered the questions with kindness, never getting mad. He juggled both his personal life and deving. He made different variants of his rom, added the coolest stuff in his roms. He was always open for suggestions, and often used them in his roms. Now he has ported 4.2 to the Iconia Tab. I do not own one but I can imagine the joy that those who do feel. Though I have moved on to the S3, I still believe that Randomblame deserves to receive this accolade. se who do feel.

[General Topics] lilchicano:
Well first off let me thank you will for giving us an opportunity for such a great thing!

But the developer I would have to say I am most thankful for at this moment would be scott.hart.bti. Devs like him are always persistent on their work and refuse to give up regardless of what occurs. The passion shown by him is one that I admire and I myself would hope to be able to give back to the community as he does. Even though he does receive help from fellow members he always tries to do things by himself to continue to make our device a great one, and one that still has a fighting chance like most other devices when the manufacture gave up on them. because of his work our devices has received JB and continue to see support from him. Devs like them really are great and just show the spirit of what XDA was founded for in the first place.

It really is hard to give credit to just one single dev since there are many others that just contribute their time for all the world to see. Its the dedication in each of them which make XDA what it is today and it really is such a beautiful thing to be apart of and see. Many more people are becoming or will become inspired to continue such things and it is a great thing to continue to keep the cycle going. I know this is getting long and off topic but just thank you for everyone, from the devs to the members. Together is what it is all about.

Thank you.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobmd:
Last night I went to a local Best Buy willing to pricematch Amazon's Note 2 at $229 and I was going to pay with a bunch of GC and Rewardzone points I had.

They made some calls and finally said they couldn't do it and I had to go to a corp store because I have a Sero-P plan.

Last year, I upgraded to my current phone at Best Buy after the rep had to make a call into Sprint.

Has something changed this year or has anyone been able to get a Note2 from outside of Sprint on a SeroP plan?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] KB112:
On the Sprint forums, people have done it by using a good Sprint Rep. Meaning you need to get them on the phone as you do the upgrade. The best buy Rep sells the phone to you, changes you from the SERO plan to regular etc.

Then the Sprint Rep changes it back to SERO on their end of the line. So the deal goes through without a hitch. Just makes it a little more complicated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ninja_unmatched:
I have sold phones in the past and due to that people around know me, including those still selling phones. I keep in touch as I do my shopping and I have seen changes made to the system at certain authorized retailers over time. So now hardly any of them can do it in their system anymore. Others that use maybe a phone setup can do it but won't cause really they get nothing for it. (No commission) So yeah you have to go to a either a Corporate Store or call in for a Sprint Rep. Dude even Sprint's own website won't do it.

I called in and got it and a screen cover. They got me on it cause the offered the shipping to me for free with the cover which only changed the total by $2 more.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] JudasD:
I bought my phone from a non-corporate sprint store. I let them upgrade what ever it is they needed to do which was put me on an everything 500 plan. Then as soon as i got out into the parking lot i hit *2 and spoke with the customer support folks and they put me back on sero 500. very easy.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] JimSmith94:
Nice score! Even better would be if we could buy from a discount supplier online and then change back to SERO.

I didn't want to risk missing my sero plan :) i just got the phone for $299 and right away called sprint. i did the same thing when i bought the original Epic. Hopefully i'll be bale to do it again in 2 years when my contract runs out. :D

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] StratOS_HTC:
How to add custom ringtones,alarms,camera,notifications and ui via adb,emulator

First phone need to be rooted, adb installed or emulator installed on phone

Let's try with ringtone (gangnam.mp3) :

system is mounted in /dev/block/mmcblk0p10 and is ro (readonly)

( to check run adb shell execute mount )

/dev/block/mmcblk0p10 on /system type ext4 (ro,relatime,user_xattr,acl,barrier=1,data=ordered)

run adb

# su

remount system as rw (read-write)

# mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p10

ringtones are located in

/system/media/audio/ringtones/

so u need to copy files to rw system from sdcard or ext_card or from local computer folder where adb is located

copy needed files from sdcard or ext_card to /system/media/audio/ringtones/

# cat /mnt/ext_card/gangnam.mp3>/system/media/audio/ringtones/gangnam.mp3

You can also use adb push command to transfer audio files in <sdk>/platform-tools/ to remote android.

adb push gangnam.mp3 /system/media/audio/ringtones/gangnam.mp3

remount to default

# mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/mmcblk0p10

exit adb and

reeboot phone

.

Select your music as default tone

Second option is to create cwm recovery based zip containing those files, or just add files into zipable rom .
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] doctor_droid:
I knw cwm

What is adb?? :confused:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] StratOS_HTC:
Adb is android debug bridge,command line emulator 4 android phones,a part of android sdk located in sdk/platform-tools/

You can download it from the net.

You can also copy (push) the files from the computer to the destination android device throught adb or use simple emulator on your device (check market apps).

Hi guys,

The thing is, I'm here in the US on business and live in Canada on the Fido/Rogers network.

Now as I understand it, there is a Rogers specific firmware available which has a different modem than the AT&T firmware.

What is the difference? Any benefit to switch?

AT&T and Rogers use the same frequencies for 3G and LTE, so why different modems?

Introducing.... Superboot! :)

Superboot is a boot.img that when booted, will root your device the first time you boot (installing su and the superuser APK). No need to flash any partitions, no need to mess around with ADB, no messing with the contents of your data partition, no overwriting the shipped ROM on your device, just boot the boot image using the instructions below and you're done!

APPLY THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Superboot r1 - DOWNLOAD - MD5: 824ec82dfa9ecd0c411dad9121f1f32d

How to use Superboot - Windows, Linux and OSX

- Download the Superboot zip file above and extract to a directory

- Put your device in bootloader mode - Turn off the phone then turn on with the 'volume up' and 'volume down' buttons both pressed to enter the bootloader (as pictured below)

- WINDOWS - double click 'superboot-windows.bat'

- MAC - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x superboot-mac.sh' followed by './superboot-mac.sh'

- LINUX - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x superboot-linux.sh' followed by './superboot-linux.sh'

Note: If you are using a retail device, you may need to unlock the bootloader first, using './fastboot-windows oem unlock' (or the appropriate version for your machine, included in this zip). Note that the OEM unlock sequence wipes your device, so consider doing an 'adb backup' beforehand if required!

Enjoy! :)

[Nexus 4 Android Development] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Why not? Bootloader can only be flashed from bootloader, as long as you can get into fastboot mode you can fix damn near anything. Even if this "bricks" (in quotes because it can't) your phone, just fastboot flash whatever is borked and start again. It's an unlocked phone with a released stock image, that mean short of ****ing with bootloader and maybe radio, it unbrickable, test away.
