I came here with a Samsung Galaxy Ace :)
Flashed something on it

My S4 Mini got 7 Android upgrades over what Samsung abandoned it with in 2016.

Currently, having fun and occasional headaches trying roms with My Samsung S7

I usually make a donation to the developers once a year.

Having been involved with (mainly hardware) technical support on all sorts of computers for very nearly 50 years, I am officially an 'old fogey'. Windows free for most of the last decade, I am now exclusively a Linux user, but not really a developer of anything. Despite my long experience, I am new to flashing Android, and still learning.
UK based, and a native English speaker, outside of computing, I am a glider pilot (yes, airplanes without engines!)

Hi all. I decided to join today after I flashed LOS 18.1 on suzu.

I was pretty badly hacked on Xiaomi through MIUI (still do not understand how) and after I recovered (sort of) I decided to go open source and got rid of meta, windos and soon saying goodbye to gogle. Using only Linux and hopefully learn here to compile custom OS for smartphones.

(Edit: On Xiaomi SELinux permissive)

Hello all,

A tech noob here, haven't done much tinkering with phones other than rooting and using a couple custom roms on some samsung phones.
Joined this forum to further my tech knowledge and hopefully solve an issue I have with my S22 ultra's network.
Thank you everyone!

Though I understand and respect your point of view, it's important to note this quote from our Forum Rules:
2.4 (...) political and / or religious discussions: XDA is a discussion forum about certain mobile phones. Mobile phones are not racial, political (...)

So a very warm welcome to XDA, a free and open place for people of all nationalities.

Hi,
I like all electronic things: PCs, smartphones, arduino, ecc...
I read often this forum (without registration) about many topics.
My last issue regarding a problem with a smartwatch.
Share the experiences and then the solution is very important.
Thanks to all of you!

    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 alltogether, this is Netra3441.

    I am an elder and severly handicaped person rolling in the wheelchair.

    For me in my special situation the communication via a smartphone is highly important to survive and to have contact to the outer world. So I own a seven years old Samsung Galaxy S7, wich still runs properly, and I had upgraded it to LOS 19.1 using the very great and honourable work of XDA-member Ivan Meler!

    For the very most people like me it is impossible spend money for new hardware.

    So, it is a gift and a great pleasure for us, that you guys of XDA and of LOS do this work and help us folks in poverty allover the world to keep our old, but good mobile hardware with actual Android.

    My respect and deep gratitude!

    Thank you all!

    But I am not just have a benefit about LOS.

    I do help friends in my enviroment on strictly voluntary basis to get their mobile hardware upgraded to LOS, as far as possible technically. I also do help friends on strictly voluntary basis with their PCs and notebooks installing Linux on it. Myself I use Linux since more than 25 years.

    Greetings to you all,
    Netra3441
