XDA App Taskforce
Hello all! I have never created an account here until now. I don't know why, lol. I have used many of xda resources over the years on projects I have done. My interests are gaming repair and mods, building custom machines, kali linux, front end web development, Android dev, and so much more I can't think of at the moment. I'm currently working on a few certificates to expand my knowledge of the machines that fascinate me. Thanks for allowing me to be part of this outstanding community!

Welcome aboard!

HI, James here, I am comfortable with whatever label you wish to hang upon me. I only know two things with certainty. Everything constantly changes. and The more I learn, the more ignorant I become.

I also know that you can type anything you want.. Yet if you depress the enter key without absolute certainty that you have done you data entry correctly, ooh boy did you make a mistake.

Hello ;-)
Well I was here before but i dont needed the old Account very much.
It was hacked or deleted. I dont know. No critical data in it.
I am modding my devices since Andoid 1. And I root my devices everytime.
In times where company´s spam you with forced apps and features you dont want you have no other choice. I modify usually stock roms just for myself till there are non of them anymore.
I use Custom Rom´s where stock wont release anything anymore.
I love Apex Pro, Titanium pro, SD Maid, ADaware, Autostarts and many more.
I guess that is more than anyone will read 🙈
Yeah and i´m kind of an 🦄
Anyway... have fun

Also my phone is a Samsung Galaxy A11 n is the one of the reasons I made an account. I want to root it for the simple fact of customization themes, fonts, etc. Thanks for having me!!

Good morning, first time android user here, heard about this site while browsing my tech sites and loving the info and everyone's input here. Pretty excited to get my new phone this wednesday, getting the samsung s21 ultra unlocked. I'm just a dad, love to relax when I can, kids are 7 and 1. I love to try to play some xbox when I have free time and I am starting my new job next week, so things are finally going into the right direction. Thank you for allowing me to join this site.

Hi everyone,
just joined with the idea to play with some old devices. Thank you for all the tutorials I already used in the past.
Cheers!

    Well hi all, I'm 'new', but not really that new, since I've been searching through XDA topics on many occasions for quite a few years now. Not sure why it took me so long to actually make an account, but here I am.
    So about me - half geek, half creative, F/LOSS enthusiast for over 20 years, full time Linux user since 2006, interested in way to many subjects to ever become a specialist in any of them within at least a dozen of life spans. Hence I don't think I'll ever be able to call myself a developer, but hey, we'll see ;-)

    More than anything, XDA is a community, and we're all here for different reasons.

    Some are here to mod their phone--some joined just to ask a question. Or perhaps, like many, you joined so long ago, you have no idea why you're here (which is totally fine! we've been around for almost a decade). :cool: And we're in the process of making XDA more useful to everyone here now that we've moved to much better forum software.

    But we'd love to know your XDA story: why are you here, and who are you? What's your day job, what phones do you have, where do you live, what do you like to do for fun? We'd love to get to know you!

    Also, be sure to spend some time filling out your profile:


    And also adding what phones you have to your inventory:


    :cowboy: thanks and welcome. I'm one of the guys in charge and my DMs are always open if you ever want to chat or even complain.

    Go ahead and make a new thread in this forum instead of replying to this post.

    Hello everyone, i'm back here after a long, long time

    I used to read alot here when i was 10 - 15 but I think i switched to iOs during 2010s and i never really had my phone in the center of my occupations so i bought some macbook & iphone and i started to learn code. (mostly js)

    I would be really happy to help users here, if i can, and discuss about my new device. ;) 2020s seems to be redditable as **** tbh, the xda lost kid became some kind of creative dev who's going back to the r00t

    Thank you for everything I have read here over the last years!

    Hi. I'm a french CS engineer and a Debian addict.

    I systematically root all my phones and have a specialization in tuning the iptables to not talk to the GAFAMs. Rooted phones so far : Huawei codenames HAM, NEML51, old samsung phones, a couple of Wiko phones.

    I've been following XDA-developers for a decade and decide now to onboard :
    * Short-term goal : get some help on a very edge case involving dm-verity and kali nethunter on Nexus5X (bullhead)
    * Long-term goal : wait patiently for the day when a full debian phone / ubuntu touch will be available at a relatively low price, and help all along
