Just a friendly hello - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Hello, I'm not all that new to xda or rooting. I just don't have much to contribute to the forums by way of help or development. I recently switched from "big red" to Sprint. I've owned three HTC devices, HTC Inc I and II and the HTC Rezound (all rooted) thanks to the good people here on xda. I am in love with my E4GT and am currently on Calkulin's E4GT 2 ROM v1.6 fe22 and loving it. Prior to joining xda, I've gained a lot of knowledge from xda and I guess now it's time to say thank you all for helping me outta my own messes. I only wish I had more to contribute in return. Anyway, I wanted to introduce myself to the community and say, thank you and hello. cheers :beer:

Welcome (officially) and congrats on your new phone!

Welcome, everybody can contribute something via discussion and not being an ass.

No doubt. Far from that though lol. Just a guy who loves doing things with my phone that others can't/won't.

Welcome! You'll find Samsungs to be pretty easy and fun once you get used to the tools. I could never switch away now.

Welcome to the party! Glad to have you here with us buddy! And don't worry, even if you can't contribute as far as development, you can always give friendly advice to the new guys who constantly come though. That's my way of giving back.

Good to hear, any chance of ICS port anytime soon, is it anywhere in sight? Just asking. Love Beastmod btw.
I hopeyou do well. I'm glad you are sticking to making roms for this phone despite some of the rude douche bags here. Hey I admit I'm a douche bag but variety is awesome!

Can hardly wait for this!
Happy Holidays to you and yours M&S.
So no more beastmod. I liked that rom the only thing is it did not play well with some apps. But only on certin versions of it like 4.1 netflix was not compatable with your device in the market. 4.2 had a few that wouldt work I think tmo myaccount didnt work on one of them. I do have to say that4.0 was really good though. Anyway I am glad that you are still going to be around. I hope you work on the new 2.3.6 that we got.
So all I have to do is download the sdk and read the guide on xda?

there's a plethora of info and tools on getting started in the g1 forums. I started theming and rom making in the g1 days. first get familiar with ADB ,vmware and 7zip is your friend.
I found theunlockr.com guide to setting up ADB to be perfect.
Look for stericson's signing tool in the g1 section too. get familiar with theming first. learning to theme can help u get start started oon zip signing and file pushing.
Take your time 'E', I know you'll do a great job. We all know how awesome BeastMOD is and how much you did for the development of it. I'm hoping you'll get some help soon...
Good luck M&S.
Kinda weird how my prediction in the other thread came true about you going solo. Anyhow, merry xmas to you and all.
Ya and marry christmas

No, he is still rocking the vibrant. But he has cooked an ics rom already so he will be of great help to me. Heathen is mia. I haven't heard from him in almost a year. He was a great guy, always down to help out. I miss him.

Why I love XDA

Best Devs and Themers bar none can be found right here.
As someone who has trouble holding onto a device for very long (as referenced by me many times already) I've since found a serious love for (addiction to?) custom ROMs and themes. And here at XDA there are so many to choose from that every time I flash a new one I feel like I have a whole new phone in my hand. Usually by now I'm beating back a major craving to buy a new device but for once, since my smartphone buying days started, I'm content with my phone and okay to wait and see what's next. (just hate hearing about it for months in advance lol)
I hope you know the tireless work you guys (gender non-specific) put into these ROMs/Themes does not go unappreciated. If I'd paid more attention to XDA in my OG EVO days I might've avoided the mistake that was EVO 3D and enjoyed my OG EVO until my upgrade (the E4GT) became available.
Major kudos to all of you and thank you, thank you for your hard work and dedication.
Well said, my wife seen some of these roms and the themes that go with them then looked at her stock e4gt and finally told me to root and install blazer 4.1 ROM with ics sherbet theme. Now she has a new respect for xda and all the hard work these devs and themers put in for us all.

I feel ya. My girl just installed go launcher after three months and couldn't believe all the different things she could do. I know its bad of me to not mention it to her sooner but just like noobs in the forums, I knew I would be doing double time to help her. This way she moves into it at her own pace per se. I know I'm in for it when ICS is released. Even though it will have the same touchwiz feel, I can see that the reversed "ok" or "cancel" is gonna be enough to open a can. If you know what I mean. Lol.

Yep!
XDA = Good stuff (especially the E4GT community)
I agree. The Et4g made me want to contribute. Everyone is friendly and they are a bunch of funny smart asses (You know who you are) Lol. I actually feel like i fit in. Plus is bar none the best SGS2 device across every other carrier.

Farewell, fellow Galaxy users

It's truly been a pleasure being a part of this community. There's so much development and support here. Despite a lot of bickering and nitpicking from certain people, it was definitely beneficial for me because I learned a lot. I'll miss my S2 but the HTC One was just too good of a phone to pass up.

Have fun with the locked bootloader, non removable battery and lack of microsd.

Both phones are amazing. You can't go wrong wrong either way. The only cons I can think of is AT&T locking down the Ones boot loader and the GSIV possibly not getting official Cyanogenmod support.

In the GSIVs defense, its amazing compared to the s3. Its much better all around, with hardware that more than doubles the US GSIII variants and a design much more reminiscent to the Note 2 than the GSIII. The One is amazing too. Don't know about the build quality anomolies though.. the GSIV may be plastic but it sure doesn't have build quality issues like the HTC One.

If we allow everyone posting about "good-byes" from one phone to another, the threads would be full of nothing more than that type of "good-bye" or "hello" stuff.
This is a development site. Not a place for opinions of one brand over another which lead to hard feelings or arguments over device loyalty. Leave that stuff for social media websites.
