The worst XDA Developer ever is DorimanX, who develops his kernel for the Galaxy S2, because of him I don't want to change my phone anymore, it is so smooth and battery drain is so lowered that I haven't any reason to sell my S2 now !

I'm just kidding, DorimanX is doing a amazingly job with this team on the I9100, and can work all the night and sleep only 2 hours to release a new version.

We are lucky to have some dev like him, Voku and all other devs of the DorimanX' team !

Entropy512.

3 reasons to thank him:

1. He knows his stuff, rarely you come across someone who really knows what they are talking about. With that knowledge he both helps and educates.

2. He deals with Exynos and Samsung, he has done so much for al the Exynos folks all over the place, with the help of other ERD, worked diligently to avoid more people to brick their phones. See more of the superbrick saga here:

3. He deals with users, even when they frustrate him... Look no further than the CM10 SGS2 thread for that.

Hashcode

I am truly thankful for the developer Hashcode as he has brought to life a once boring and paperweight like tablet, the Kindle Fire. (1st Gen) When I received the Kindle as a gift I was disappointed with the lack of OTG support but Hashcode made it possible. I have learned a lot from his posts and look forward to more of his development. Thanks Hashcode for your brain! :)

He breathe new life to my tab, he fixes all kernel related problems, add OverClock and gave steps that never existed before (1100, 1300)

In CM 10 development, he fixes so many things that I cannot count or mention it one by one. I m using what he developed and I 'm satisfied. If there is one developer deserving a Nexus 7, its definitely him.

nitroglycerine33 has brought together so many awesome people. Members of the X2 forums know that we owe the life of our device to him and Dragonzkiller - despite the fact we all moved past the X2, we still live in that forum and help like nothing happened. The love for Eclipse is shared by a ton and in my time spent in the X2, Nexus and Eclipse Rom forums I've never seen an outright dislike for Eclipse and Nitro. He's honest, insanely talented and reciprocates the dedication received from Eclipse users. I have zero problem supporting this gentleman's work cause he has given me and many, many others really fun experiences.

I would like to thank h8rift...I think he may already have a nexus 7 but I wanna thank him anyways. I'm still new to the world of development, and I recently decided to take the challenge of bringing cm10 to the HTC vivid...although its not 100% working yet h8rift came out of no where and started helping us, he offered to read pur log cats, offer possible solutions, look at our source...just about everything! This may not sound like much...but the guy didn't even own a vivid! He just started helping to help!

So really I'm grateful that even though this guy didn't own the device he was still willing to offer his help and guidance -thats the kind of developer we need more of! Willing to help anyone...even if he doesn't benefit from the cause...definitely the type of person who deserves a reward like this thread is offering :)

It's hard to pick out one dev after all these years on android. When I started out joeykrim was the man on the Samsung Moment. But when I moved to the og Evo I saw devs like myn, aamikam, virus, toastcfh, kushdeck and cyanogen I could go on all day. All that blew my mind but the dev that stood out for me the most was tommytomatoe with his Classic ROM. He got me more into moding then any other dev and he's a hell of a nice guy also and very involved in his threads. If anyone deserves a new tablet its him.

I'm thankful for tommytomatoe and all he's done for android...
[General Topics] theslam08:
I fully concur. 100%.

Many devs do wonderful work for their phones they own, so they def deserve recogonition for that. But this dev, decided to help a small community struggling to get good devs to get us off the bad HTC software (its great, but aosp is BETTER :D) (and this particular device is like working with a completely different language you have never read/spoke with some parts of it [ie. the ril/mic are way not-normal] - making it a very hard deving device.

Now for credit for people with phones: Def MG for this phone (vivid). And XYLOGRAPH for the HD2!!! Absolute king. Same with a few others like tytung, marc1706, (other forums) D4rKn3sSyS, and molesarecoming are all very good devs (I know they help other phones forums too, giving input). Too many names for one phone I know, but damn, I cant choose one!!! lol many great people here, a very awesome community I think, devs put up with lots of repeat/stupid questions from noobs, and keep pushing on. Those are some good people. Thank you. All.

Fat-tire

Inspired me and many others to sit down and learn something. Always patient and forever teaching.

He maintains CM roms for several devices (including some he doesn't personally own) and is great with new users, patiently answering questions and finding solutions.

There aren't many Recognized Developers who are actively posting guides on a regular basis. He periodically will submit 'challenges' where a member is invited to work on projects with his guidance.

A great team-leader. All of the work he produces is open-source the entire time and worked on by any who wants to contribute. This leads to well-vetted, great-running software, produced in a timely manner.

Fat-tire's commitment to open-source and education are unparalleled.

Without the (many) things I learned from him, the little projects I have produced for XDA would be nothing but empty ideas.

I'd like to have this considered an entry for thejrcrafter2, should fat-tire win. I'd be interested to see what an up-and-comer like thejrcrafter could do with a new Nexus 7.

Since moving from HTC Evo 3D to Samsung Galaxy III, I really expected to find "that" rom. You know, the one that shines above all other. Until the last week, every ROM for the GS3 I tried was just a little twist on stock or was themed with uglier icons and apps than stock. Then when "Goodness" V 4.0 came out, I was like...ok...let's try this one. What a difference Mijjah74 ( http://xdaforums.com/member.php?u=3313049 ) has made to XDA and especially the best phone of 2012, the GS3. I am so amazed at the work he has done and how he has made an example for others to follow, many and easy customizations, every launcher, upgrade to the next version without doing full wipes! I nominate Mijjah74!

I'd like to thank all developers here for letting me test out their roms, but the ones that impacted me the most was from Team Passion (ICS Passion for Vibrant), ICZen team, Helly Bean team, and the LiquidSmooth team. However, my preferences fit most with the Helly Bean rom for the Vibrant, so I'd like to thank DerTeufel1980 for developing the rom. It was really a stable and reliable rom that continued to have build updates for improvements or bugs fixes that I was not even aware of. It has been working fine for me, but I can tell this developer was very dedicated in providing us with a better rom for the Vibrant. I've been using the Vibrant for awhile now, but I've upgraded to the T989 Hercules for its hardware specs and running the LiquidSmooth rom. Although this rom has many bugs right now, I believe that the developer will be able to fix these bugs soon so I will stay loyal to this rom for awhile because I am liking it so far. Again, Helly Bean for the Vibrant was the best rom I've used and I had a good run with it, but now that phone has been passed down to another person to enjoy it. Thanks again to DerTeufel1980.

I vote for Kallt_kaffe of cm10 dev for Samsung tab 8.9. I vote for him because of his incredible work on Cm10 for our Samsung tab 8.9 device. Without him, I believe tab 8.9 would be long gone and forgotten and outdated with old stock HC/ICS ROM. Now, with his superb talent he brings us a taste of latest Jelly Bean 4.1.2 which is so buttery smooth and yummy. Before that, he had done great job on Cm9 also. Good job Kallt_kaffe!!!

Thank You Quarx,

Initially Motorola Defy Came with Android 2.2 Froyo. and as any other phone company, they had stopped any update on Android.

I was upset whenever Google launched new OS, and I was still using Froyo.

But then came Quarx, who updates his ROMS atleast twice a week with latest android sources.

I have been following Quarx's Defy ROMS for last 5-6 months.

He has completely changed the mobile. Defy currently runs Jellybean(4.1.2) so smooth (much better than OEM version).

It is so perfected, that there are virtually no bugs in the ROM.

I have been using Jelly bean features long before most of the moderate users have heard of.

Currently my phone is envied by a lot of high end smartphone owners who are still stuck on Gingerbread and having no such dedicated developers for their phones.

I had convinced my two friends to buy Defy+ models after seeing the Developer forum in XDA. ((My friends think "I get commission from Motorola for promoting Defy series".))

Then Quarx launched a Custom Kernel for MB525 and MB526 which made everything a lot more better. ONE ROM - 2 Mobiles.

((I cant even imagine what he could have done, if Motorola has unlocked bootloader))

I am very confident on future of his Jelly bean ROM, and expecting 4.2 very soon.

Thank you Quarx once again for your work on Defy series., Expecting your long association with Defy

Without a doubt, I'm going to have to say Tonyp.

Why?

Since the debut of the most hyped first dual core, the g2x, i had got my hands on it, but to be let down. This phone was advertised at its best and not too long after its release it was dropped from support. The phone had (and still does!) HUGE potential. Unfortunately it was just laggy, buggy and much more.

That was until Tonyp, started to release roms and up to this day, his jb cm10 rom is top notch(without drivers or anything given by LG). He has worked his butt off, trying his best and trying to satisfy us. He would never let me or anyone down. Let alone, he says he on vacation, but hes constantly on the forums replying and helping. He doesn't forget, and makes everyone here at the g2x community proud.

Oh and he doesn't even own the g2x.

Till this day, im still with my g2x and super thankful for Tonyp for doing so much.

I am most thankful for Hashcode, with his amazing dev skills he put Android 4.1.2 on the Amazon Kindle Fire, made a custom kernel to run the whole thing plus got the little charging light to work on it.

My defy+ has now a custom kernel, is now much faster than before and so no need for any new mobile ;)

And he reacts very fast to bug-reports from the users. So reading all the threads my knowledge about my mobile is increasing every day.

And my girlfriend now enjoys a defy+ too and is not in search for some i (like i in iphone or else :D).

So I hope Quarx is keeping on his development on the defy(+) and will not after winning the nexus forget his defy(+)! :good:

For keeping development on my phone alive...

I'm still rolling with an HTC Glacier (also known as the MyTouch 4G), which has decent specs for an older phone but is totally being held back by lack of documentation, openness, or willingness to work on it. I gave it my best shot but my java and android skills are lacking, since my programming experience was limited to robotics in the high school. I have to say, I was ready to throw in the towel with my poor little Glacier - it's dependable, it works, but watching all these new great Android features and top hardware coming out gives my Glacier a complex. So when I heard about new development to get ICS on my guy I was stoked. There are a handful of folks working on this, but right now the one who seems to be getting the most done and maintaining a discourse with others like myself trying out his stuff and sending in logs is elginsk8r. I just want to say thanks bud and keep up the good work! It's nice knowing someone still cares about the Glacier!

My favorite dev/mod is efrant!

I bought my Galaxy Nexus (my first smartphone, I had a basic Nokia before), sometime ago last year. I was in all excitement that I got a beast of a phone, pure Google and the best of experience. I live halfway around the world from the US, so I had to wait for one of my relatives/friends to bring it down for me. And in my terms it's not that cheap still at around $450 to buy a smartphone since we don't have contract subsidized phones.

However, after getting the top notch Android (which I was dreaming for a good 2/3 years) I figured that to my utter dismay that there are different country bound versions which doesn't get the latest updates. Mine used to get the update and it was never installing. Guess how my feelings were with this let down :(

That was the time I first started to look into XDA! And the very first day I was going through all the developer posts and the community replies, I was taken by XDA. Atlast I found what I was looking for, after hours of searching; efrant's guide guid to convert to stock yakju/takju from any build!

It was a whole lot of info to take to a person who starts on Android. Lot to absorb; but what kept me going was there was a lot to learn! I read the whole post; re-read; and re-read again and again. I can figure out a person based on his way of conveying his message. And I knew this guy was neat and do his work methodically.

Everything was neatly put, step by step. Even for someone like me who read it the first time being on Android for the first time I was simply taken back by the amount of knowledge it provided me. Not only it just taught me about flashing stock build, but also hell of a lot of things about what ADB, drivers, bootlock, recovery, images and everything else mean! The best part about this info is, after you read and comprehend you go flash it. And when I did that for the first time, not only I felt like I just flash my newly bought phone for the purest Google experience but also that I got struck by the warmth of Android modding from which I never turned back. It felt like I gave back the ability to breath to a phone that couldn't get up.

Why do I say this is the best thread? Because the amount of information it gave me was tremendous. And still to this day, I log on to XDA to make sure I read through every post that gets posted in that thread and read efrant's reply to keep me fresh with the info.

So this my story with XDA so far and because of this one post, it made me come to XDA everyday.

I wish a happy thanksgiving for everyone who are celebrating and I wish you all the very best.
