Been frequenting the forums, following, reading, and tryings all the ROMS for a year now. I figured it's about time I finally say my hello and probably start contributing! I love my Eris and I think the devs are doing some awesome, awesome work with this device considering the age and hardware of all our little engines that could!
I've also learned so much about this platform from just reading and following some of the threads and learning from other noobs questions, and mistakes too, that I also felt it was appropriate to say thank you to everyone here as well!
I remember the night I rooted my phone about a month after I got it. After the root process was complete and I realized it worked, this sense of relief that I didn't brick it overwhelmed me, then I thoght I must have felt like Chunk and Sloth did when they dove underground to play catch up to their buds in Goonies!! They moved quick!!!!!!
LOL So................ Thanks everyone for helping me to help my lil Eris to help myself from not going insane while I wait to make it through the rest of my Verizon contract and am eligible for upgrade!!!!
HEEEEYYYYYY YOOOOOOUUUUUU GGGUUUUUUUUYYYYYSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What's up with you giving everyone crap for making a thread. Ya, some threads I'm sure xda could live without but atleast this person and the other that you were giving a hard time posted this in the general section and not the development. Calm down and let the mods do there job. If they think this is a waste than they'll close it but I see no problem with it.

I'm sure you can but that's the problem with xda lately. A lot of people are more worried about bashing each other or policing forums then they are helping one another. Don't get me wrong, there is things that shouldn't be posted and there are threads that shouldn't be started but guess what, that's not my job to say what's good and what isn't. When I first came to xda it was such a great place to learn and I had so many people that helped me and if it weren't for them I wouldn't know half of what I know now. Not saying I know alot but now days I can't imagine coming here and being new and asking a question. Ok. I'm done. Usually don't get into stuff like this but I used to love xda and I've learned so much from this place and I use to really enjoy hanging out here but things have just fallen apart.

Even when I joined back in March **** wasn't this way. The EVO 4G forums were so ridiculously cool and laid back there. That's why I joined, I wanted an easygoing community. Sad to see XDA shaping up to be the way it is... the drama between Virus and JoelZ9614 in the EVO 4G forums today was insane...
It got ugly between them, and yup EVO forums back In the day were awesome any question you asked was nicely awnsered and wasnt thrown back at you calling you an idiot or some other harsh word that are beign used today. It wansnt till I got in the EVO 3D forums were I saw a bunch of B.S that was childish to begin with. XDA has changed for the worst.

I got this idea while lurking on the rezound general forum, and a lot of people have really pissed off the amazing devs that offered their help to bring out the most out of the phone. Yeah, it might be a little late to be making this, but with the Eris being my first phone, the community here has pretty well taken care of each other and the developers stuck with us, at least, until they got a newer phone and moved on. My experience in the rezound forum has been a little less than savory, especially in the last few weeks. All of the trolls and wannabe heroes that tell the trolls off have made me remember and miss the good old days here. It's been too damn long, and these devs deserve a thread where we kiss their asses (no sarcasm) To all the devs that ever worked on the Eris, thank you for all of your hard work.
Here's a list of the ones I know of below. I know that there were a lot, so there may be some missing. Just make a post or pm me and I'll add you if I missed you. No particular order. I just went through the first 11 pages of threads in the development subforum.

Thank you ... I haven't looked in the Rezound threads but I've heard its pretty tough there at times. I've found though, that instead of trying to be defensive with them, just call them out, let them know you really don't care and tell them to f-off .... They run back into hiding with their tail between there legs haha.

Thanks as well. This forum introduced me to the whole rooting experience and allowed me to keep using this phone long past what I would have put up with if I had to remain stock.
A a developer I know the troubles with any project and appreciate all the efforts.
Unfortunately I dropped the phone the last week and screen died, so I had to do a quick upgrade. Though about he Rezound but ended up with the LG Spectrum. Nice screen, rooted, but not much in the way of ROM's. Have to wait until ICS comes out.
Again thanks folks.
****ing right. It was a little more then a tear ago I stumbled upon this place and took took the plunge to root my Droid Eris, knowing that I was running 2.1 and would never see anything higher then that cuz the Eris was already at end of life. Then boom rooted unlocked and running gin-tazz. I've been hooked ever sense. Now mongoose is still putting work into this device running 4.0 haha amazing. Thank you all very much

I'd like to see bftb0's name listed up top.
There's so many things he's done for the Eris community, both here and over at AndroidForums, it would be a crime to not have his member name listed for posterity along with all of the other fine folks you listed above.
He is, without question, one of the most knowledgeable folks to have ever posted here at XDA and many, many folks are indebted to him for his help (me included ).
Cheers!

Some forums go overboard with pinned threads, or at least it's overwhelming how many there are. There aren't that many in this section. What does everyone else feel about if this should be pinned or not? I do.

you really think that? i guess i could PM mrkite and ask him to sticky it. anyone else alright with that?
edit: just sent the mod a pm. we'll see what happens
The eris was my second android phone after I left T-Mobile and my G1. This community has been incredible. I would also like to thank DS36. He was always willing to help out noobs like myself and his tweak thread was pretty awesome. This really has been the best community I've seen here. I miss the good ole days of kaos froyo and gingertazz. Thanks to all the devs that made the eris awesome. And thanks to jcase for making it easy to root my kindle too.

I miss this forum a lot. We still haven't got s-off figured out for the HTC One S. It's pretty sparse over there.
But man, back in the day this place was humming all day every day. Workshed made it a beautiful phone. Even compared to the phone I have now, it seems like it flew. I know that's just the nostalgia talking, but I don't care. GSB is a great rom.

I'm just an old fart that likes to tinker with electronics. I am by no means anywhere close to being a developer, themer, ect... I just like tinkering with my phone. I've lurked these forums a couple of years now trying to take in as much as I can. I came over from SDX (HAXSUNG) when I retired my Moment and got my OG Evo. All I can say at this point is "WOW" what an awesome site this has turned out to be. A BIG Thanks to most all members for being so helpful, brainstorming and working together to make our phones unique and better than ever. Everything I've ever learned was from reading and researching these forums. I've never had to ask a question nor have I ever needed to. Simply put, I follow instructions to a tee and never have any problems. Again, Thanks to all the Devs out there for the awesome work that you do.
Anyway, the reason for this post is not only to introduce myself but to also let everyone know that if you do your research, you will find your answers without asking. Of course there will be exceptions, we all know that. I just purchased my new EVO LTE and wanted to get it unlocked ASAP to tinker over the 4th of July. While reading the forums to understand how to accomplish this, I noticed alot of people were having problems with S-off via Lazy Panda method. I was scared at first to even try, but I had faith in the Devs that they know what they are doing. To make a long story short, I followed the instructions perfectly and achieved S-off without a hicup
I've come to the conclusion that most issues that people have here (not just for our phone) are a failure to follow instructions. Do your research people, take a chance once in awhile, you will be very pleased with the outcomes you achieve on your own.
Awseome site, keep up the good work all you Dev's, themers out there. Your work is very much appreciated by people like myself.

It's nice to hear something like this
The worst part of people not reading is that when they ask the question that was answered hundreds of times on the same thread it clutters it up more and makes it even harder for someone else to read and find the answer to begin with.
Anyway glad to hear you got your phone S-OFF without any issue, enjoy the awesome mods/roms that our devs have made

I'm almost an old fart in life but feel like one for sure on these forums. It is a shame more folks don't put the time in to figure out stuff on their own, it is so much more rewarding that way!
And I too had a moment and have been at sdx from the gitgo, things just happen much more quickly around here and the information available is amazing!

I wanted to apologize for my last thread. I didn't mean to be/sound rude to anyone especially those that are dev'ing for us. I'm kinda new to this whole rooted and messing with my phone thing since this is the first phone that I've owned that's worth modding. I guess because of my inexperience i just don't understand fully the different functionality of the different kernels and such. I'm still trying to learn. Again im sorry if i offended anyone. That wasn't my intention.
Thanks
I didn't see your other thread, but it always takes a lot of humility to apologize on online forums.
Thank you for not flaming other people.
It's also nice that no one has flamed the OP either.
Last time someone apologized publicly, they got flamed big time. Boggles my mind!
My other thread was named Got my hopes up. And yea I hope I don't get flamed but what can ya do right

hey guys. will eventually be rooting and playing around with some roms in the next few weeks such as cyanogen, speed, etc. I really want to use my amaze, dont feel like getting a new phone right now.
do you guys think I should just stick with the amaze and custom roms or just get a new phone?

Damn, beat me to it
Might as well get it over with. It's personal preference. There are some GREAT ROMS for this AMAZING phone.
YOU are the only one who can decide if YOU wanna spend some cash on a new phone. Chicks dig the Amaze. Our Devs work hard to hook us up.
That said, no one cares if you buy a new phone or hang with the Amaze. If you are asking if this phone is still technologically sound the answer is YES...again depending on your needs.
Hope that helps.
My bad for not searching more in depth to see if this was asked.

Don't go there, your laziness is what prompted their response and mine. RULE # 1 is to SEARCH before posting. Merry Christmas.
Haven't checked the amaze forum since yesterday and the useless thread and 'what phone are you upgrading to etc' are both in the 10 most recent threads... Having to search would even be a stretch, simply looking at any other threads on the first page would have lead you to the right place.
