A (very brief) farewell, and a BIG thank you to the developers (please read!)

[MMcCraryNJ]

Well folks, I just sold my Galaxy Tab 10.1 and all of my accessories. I plan to pick up a Nexus 7, as I figure that despite losing the 3 inches of screen real estate, the N7 is a beast.

The GT was a hell of a tablet too. Sleek. Sexy. Battery lasted forever. Great hardware design by Samsung. Unfortunately, their software support has continued to be lacking. That's where the thank you comes in. I want to thank the ROM developers for keeping this fine device always supported, even a year afterwards.

So thanks task650, RomanBB, pershoot, Przekret, supercurio, seraphimserapis, PhantomHacker, djR3Z, qbking77, and everybody else (sorry if I forgot you personally!) who ever took their time to provide images, create ROMs, answer questions, write guides, and help out the community solve any problems.

All of your work is greatly appreciated, as I feel everyone here has greatly added to the value of owning this fine tablet. Many times it did not matter that Samsung ignored issues or took their sweet time supporting their "flagship" line, because you guys were here. You took requests. Answered questions. Added features. Fixed bugs. And provided an invaluable service. We do not take any of it for granted.

Hope to see some of you guys in Nexus 7 land. Thanks again!

Go to their threads and thank them, or PM them. And donate.

What an unpolite answer!
What if he already thanked ALL these excellent developers (and I assume yes) and already donated?
If this forum does not have a place for such posts, I think it is losing its personal touch.
I like XDA forums because you can ask directly the guys that understand it - you cannot do it with Samsung or any other vendor.
But lately I started to see many un-polite answers that, in my opinion, weakens this otherwise fantastic forum.
I am not talking about those that ask stupid questions and don't read the OP, etc - but even on this case, a polite answer is ALWAYS more efficient to educate the users.
But, anyway, this is only my opinion, and I am only a simple user, not a developer or contributor...


@MMcCraryNJ
It would be a good idea for you to post an update to this thread after your first week of Nexus 7 use, so we all could know what is different (better and worse) compared to SGT10.1

umadbro? No, really. Calm down.

Think of it this way: Let's say you've done a bunch of work for people for free. What would you prefer: a personal message individually directed to you, specifically thanking you for your work, plus maybe a little donation. Or would you prefer a big "Thanks, all youse guys!" written on the wall near where you hang out, one you might not even see as it gets covered up with other posts. I don't think I was being rude; certainly wasn't my intention. I was suggesting something more effective and more personal that maybe he hadn't thought of.

But, what about when I said "umadbro" to you above? That was rude. I intended that.

I am happy to know that there was no intention on your part to be rude.
Maybe I myself were a bit rude with you - so my apologies.
But the fact is that latelly I see many posts really rude. I really appreciatte this forum, as it offers so much to those seeking for better rom's for their devices.

XDA is no longer worth my time.

I don't get the GT forums. Every thread has this same exact conversation. Its like night and day between this device and the nexus threads that I follow.

To the OP....good luck with the Google tab. Enjoy it, looks like a sweet device. I just wish it was a bit larger.

how about this way of saying it...

You are not his father! You don't have a right to tell others how to say thank you and then tell them they need to pay up. You know nothing other than he took the time to say thank you in a public manner.

hmmmm

IT'S SO MUCH EASIER TO UNDERSTAND WHEN WRITTEN IN ALL CAPS. THANK YOU.

It's nice to see a shred of humanity occasionally. Thank you for saying what we all sometimes forget to say.
And thank you, devs.

I'm following you! Waiting on my N7. My GT10.1 is currently on eBay. Felt kind of bad put it up, it truly is a beautiful device. Just wish the internals were a little more on-par and every day that passed without an official ICS release, I died a little inside. I figured we'll never see Jelly Bean (at least not officially), so there's no sense in sticking to it.
