[GWelker62]

I've posted this before... I wanted to look smart at the at&t forums. I would see questions posted, then come here to find the answer. Then go back and post the answer there. I 'think' I had quite a few people fooled. :p

[TheChampJT]

Well...I was googling for ways to make my Samsung i760 better, when I had it of course, and stumbled acrossed another forum that discussed the top apps to have on a PPC. S2U2 was on the list, alot, I then came here and couldn't leave!! So, thanks A_C!!

[jacknmary]

I was a motorola modder from way back, and I wont settle for "stock" when it comes to my phones... I got an S620 and needed to mod it.

[Chainfire]

Honestly, I don't even remember.

[Ather]

i came searching here when i was upgrading my Hima and the power to my laptop suddenly stoped..it stucked in Bootloader for about 3 months..then i found the solution ( which was veryyyy simple )..and now..i cant move my self from the monitor and xda

[tom_codon]

If xda-Dev did not exist i think windows mobile devices will be like a day without sunlight

Same as i think :)

[nothin]

because there were good, wise people here mostly, and good rare soft... been a days..
now it is one big mess + some good info.
just almost ordinary phone/ihpone/trendy diamond forum.


this place lacks subforums for EVERY os-modable PPc/pppc devices.
htc, htc, where are subfora's for devices like hp4700(and other ones), asus, etc....
maybe it is time to think wider?

[abdelrahim]

I was looking for some software and google brought me here.....since then, I almost daily visit this site and enjoy reading rather than writing.....

[rasa]

when my prophet got broken then my friends told me tyo visit XDA forum since then everyday visiting .


very happy to know this forum.

thanks to all.

[cragordon]

Excuse my french (no offense if your french) , but I joined this website because it is the best god damn htc website on the net. Although there are a lot of smart asses on here.

[Pull9Gs]

I joined for the huge amount of content already on here and the large number of very knowledgeable people able to help me with my problems.

[A7mag3ddon]

I joined because i just bought a Kaiser and wanted the best site for info about it, and what it can do ect :)

[phoenix83]

well, i was searching the internet for new interfaces for my P4350 phone, when i found this site.
Now, i'm reading the forums every day, looking for new developments, themes, etc :)

I really like the site, and the people who develop / modify software are really doing good work.




Greetings, Chris

[fzzyrn]

I forget why i joined but it was probably for some stupid reason like i needed help or something.

but i think i might have been the one that seeded the "touchflo minus cube" idea

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=333240

probably not. Hopefully yes

[galaxys]

My ppc was bloated & ran like cr#p with the OE official rom. So, I discovered this site has some great chefs prepairing excellent rom menu's in the kitchen!
Now my ppc is lean & mean!

[mikeeey]

i dont remember perfectly...but i think i just found the forum one day, registered, and thought to myself "I may use this later" and then i never went on for a long time, then finally there was wm6 being developed for the sp5, so i started going on. Since then ive stayed around now that i knew this forum was for developing and hacking.

[Isaygarcia]

a long time ago.. i was looking for something new... then i saw something new.. Windows mobile 6 Beta releases?... ohh. i should find them.. and Bingo.. i found here a ROM of WM6.. i decided to flash it.. but holy crap.. i f**cked up my wizard.. i was really sad.. and.. then.. i started to find how to fix it.. :)..
since then im a member in xda-dev..

with my wizard...

my universal..

and now my kaiser..

(and coming soon my Touch Pro)

[ultraprimeomega]

I joined because i wanted to learn about smartphones and this is before i had one.

[robosiris]

Why didn't I join sooner is the real question, lol. But sticking to the topic .... I joined because I knew there was a way to make my Herald do more than it was suppose to, lol, and learn about winmo devices in general. Ever since I joined in May of '07, my love of PDAs changed drastically. I'm not creative enough to make roms and complex applications, but I'm big on donating to cooks and the XDA site. This site is addicting to say the least.

[kareeem]

I think i was looking for the AIM Hack to work with HTC devices and found it on here then decided to register.

[cabessius]

I joined XDA because without registering I could not bump old forgotten threads like this one.

[TravisBean]

Because nobody else would have me !!!!!!!!!!!

[Gnathonic]

I was forced to. Needed to download an attached file. I had been lurking for a while before that. Still lurking in fact.

[phatmanxxl]

I found out my t-mobile dash had no threaded messaging, Googled my way to xda and found a ROM that offered it, problem solved.

[ebe_robert]

[Perastis]

to learn how to root and load custom roms on my devices.

[ChpStcksRlz]

It seemed like a mature forum where everyone is taken seriously when you get to the Development and Device General forums (for the G2 at least). But now I'm in the off-topic section and it's just funny to see that on other sections is completely different.

Anyways I took an interest in rooting my phone. That's why I joined XDA.

[NightHawk877]

I wanted to hack the crap out of my phone.

[erraz]

I just wanted a phone that would allow me to tether my xbox to xbox live. A little more than a year ago I bought the captivate and after searching for six months I found out that custom roms allowed me to. I live out in the country.......

[itsbeertimenow]

Like all noobs I was too lazy to read threads so I asked questions instead...... Which lead me to read threads, I learned good. The error of my ways is now buried a thousand posts deep.

[R0CKSTAR3N3RGY]

I joined XDA developers because I love software. Beta testing and giving suggestions to software developers is one of my favorite things to do. Especially when it's a software that I'm going to use the hell out of. Custom ROM's for phones are by far some of the most interesting things I have ever worked with and I still am amused with every ROM I install. (Blazer being my favorite so far)
I would love to help everyone out on here the best I can by giving technical help, suggestions, and beta/alpha tests on ROM's.

[mrmoniz]

I joined because I wasn't happy with the standard ROM on my phone. After some searching on the web I figured out that XDA is the place to be.

[thampz]

Because the stock samsung rom sucks donkey b***s?
