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.
Hi, my name's Bob.
I'm using Xiaomi and Asus since 2015. When I have a problem with my device, Google brought me to this XDA-Developers, and I've been using XDA-Developers as one of my resources for solution and firmware. Now I want to know more and share about problems and firmware from other users of the devices I use.

Hi folks!
I'm a privacy oriented guy. Still have my original nexus one that was my first dive into custom roms. Took a long break on roms until last year. I was hoping UBports would've been further along, but sadly it's not. I've returned to ROMs in order to degoogle my devices. Running a G7 plus now as daily driver, also playing with a couple of old S5s, galaxy tab 3, tab e and S3. Love to be able to unplug from the matrix, very appreciative of all the folks working on and maintaining these devices!

I like messing with phones and occasionally like to dig around inside apps. Thought I'd say hi

I am a retired software engineer with 25+ years working for Oracle, Hewlett-Packard, Harris Communications, Gateway Computers, et al.

I'm a new member and I don't know if I'll be able to write useful articles but if I find something interesting I'll try and share it

Hi there! I'm a lawyer and a tech geek. I'm so glad I found out about this forum. I think it's awesome to have a place where everyone can share news, tips&tricks. It's been really useful so far. Keep up the great job!!

Bem, oi para todos, eu sou 'novo', mas não tão novo, já que tenho pesquisado comum do XDA em muitas ocasiões há alguns anos. Não sei por que demorei tanto para realmente fazer uma conta, mas aqui estou.

    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 ;-)

    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
