If there are people interested I will be willing to spend some time at some pre-arranged date and time answering questions about topics related to S-OFF, bootloaders, RUUs, upgrades, downgrades flashing etc on IRC.

Ya, maybe a bad question from the lack of response. The amaze forum is an odd one for sure. Was just wondering. I saw his threads are closed.

I'm wondering the same thing man.
If you read through his threads it is discussed briefly.

If you want to use his roms you'll have to go to his site....idk if I can post the link.
Sent from my HTC Amaze 4G using XDA
Most of the threads are one page long now. I gather from the one or two posts something went down between him and xda.

Just leave it alone. Its really nobody's business why he left except his own. If you want the dudes work, go to his website.

Some people are edgy about it because there is a cloud of uncertainty about whether you can discuss it or post the link to his forum without getting warned by a moderator. I'm on both forums and regardless of which one you're on, it's been agreed by all that it's for the best to leave the matter alone. Read through his post history here if you want to try piecing together the puzzle yourself.

I dont see anyone being *****y? i gave a straight answer, which is its NONE of our business. if you dont see him posting roms etc, assume hes not around. besides, its been all throughout the entire xda forum about his situation for weeks. if youre interested enough, the info is out there
Geez people. The major developer for the amaze packs up, yanks all his roms and pulls his threads and leaves and everyone is supposed to just pretend nothing happened? You can claim it's none of our business all you want but people certainly have the right to be curious and ask questions. Want to end all the questions and speculation? Then don't tell people to dredge the forum for clues. Deal with the question and put it to bed.
I agree and the users are the reason why these forums are alive and working so in a way we are the board members lolllll jk but ink why pda is having all these problems lately i guess a cleansing is what this site needs to be back at the top again

I googled xboarder56 and right there on the first page you can find where he is. Deal with the question and search yourself. 1st rule of xda in case you couldn't find that also
Their not gone. Google the name of the ROM u want and xboarder56 and I'm sure u will find it. The bottom line is mrmako is right. If you don't know, then it didn't concern you and was none of your biz to begin with. His work is still obtainable. XDA is not only site to find hacks and roms etc. Let's just leave it at that and if you can't find his ROMs then go back to stock. It's not xboarders responsibility to service anybody, nor is it any devs responsibility. They create work that they decide to share with us. That's where it ends. They don't even have to share. So use what you can find. Google usually has the answers.
I miss Binary. He would have had this thread closed and locked already for it is completely unproductive. Since Binary retired from xda this forum has been mad with duplicate threads, noob issues, and a lawless feel. Where is Whiskey to shut this down?
PS just because people have the right to be curious and ask doesn't mean people have the right to know. So exercise your right to be curious and keep wondering. But its not anybody's responsibility to inform the masses of anything. Anything else that you can't find is drama unrelated to development, and if you want a soap opera, you should watch USA Network, they know drama.

I knew where X had gone before he pulled out of XDA. It was no secret. That wasn't my point. I've been a member here for almost 2 years. Don't be so condescending.

This is the General section where questions are supposed to be asked and answered. Any thread that answers questions that many members have is productive. The only reason THIS thread is unproductive is the refusal to answer a question which is on MANY members' minds.

If that's what's on peoples minds, then they should get a new life. I know most of the story and personally its not that entertaining nor is it any of our business. If people want to know, then they can do the digging and be nosey on their own. It's nobodys place to restir a pot not worth stirring. It's counterproductive. Since you're such a tenured vet, you of all people should no better. Why does it matter where he is? If his work can be found elsewhere, what is the point of this thread. Threads like this are what started his move to begin with. Noobish ass questions with the answers right in front of peoples faces. Again, Law and Order is a personal favorite of mine, Criminal Intent and SVU.. if you want good drama, I recommended people start there
Not to mention this thread is 2 pages long, yet you are 1 out of 4 people who have showed interest in wondering where X is. The rest of the comments, the people already know or don't care. 4 people maybe consists on a lot to you, but I hardly would say the same

but this IS our point bro. the op didnt post a thread asking where x was or where he could find his work, he asked "what happened" as to imply "why" x was gone and not really IF he was gone. its kind of like when people get flamed for not searching first for answers to questions like "guys, how do i flash a rom?" or "amaze or s2?", except this is deeper and shouldnt be a topic to clog up our forum. the man left, hes not coming back, no need to continue to ask why or where he went.
on a side note marley, i DO understand your point, i just dont agree with it. i guess this is what happens when people have a $600 phone with little to no dev community LOL. lets just move forward and pray we get some new talent in here!

Maybe we can reach other devs from other phones, like CoreDroid, who are able to successfully port their work to our device. Like what NRGZ did. I think the main reasons for little to no development are: a) amaze is a US phone and not a world phone; and b) s=on. So if we can get this device in other devs hands, it may help. Like the Revolutionary donation we had going. Or I guess we can be happy with what we have and wait for nrgz 3.5 and xboarders ics.

This forum has developed and matured with a lot of information since it's creation awhile ago. I really feel that there's a lot of basic, useful information burried in threads in here and the dev section that need to be stickied.
There's also a lot of repetitive threads that get posted which have been asked time and time again for which there are answers already existing. Collecting this knowledge together in an easy to access area would be awesome.
For instance, I just came on here to look up how to specifically do the deviceID mod to get rid of the compatibility issue in the market. I know the answer is here somewhere.. but it's going to take me a few minutes to find it when it should probably be stickied.
Anyone else feeling the same way?
I think that's a great idea. Rather than stickying a bunch of threads for all the common problems, it'd be better to compile them into a single locked thread and sticky that.
Yes, people requesting for all and nothing. I think we should do like other forums and do an index of rom(or themes, root, recovery for example)for both 4.0 and 5.0
Sent from my YP-G1 using xda premium
yes that would be very helpful, everything is here is scattered
some things for 5.0us,5.0int,4.0 ..
Does the mod who can do that even view this forum? If not, he should enlist some moderators specifically for this forum who could sticky topics or compile them into a more concise list.

I've seen this question batted about in various parts of the U.S. Variant sub-forums, but haven't seen a specific movement to get these Galaxy S III forums further sub-divided. Although the hardware is pretty much identical, isn't there problems, issues, Q&A, that is germane to specific carriers? Although I do not have my GS3 in hand waiting for Verizon, this forum is already becoming an incomprehensible jumble of affairs. We are not talking about a phone that is limited release, this is a huge release. The "General" conversation is going to be different as will be Q&A. I mean we already have witnessed hard bricks from those flashing international ROMS. And I know the mandra of "read and read more" but wouldn't people be more comfortable if they had a Sprint version GS3 to go into a "Sprint" GS3 forum? To see issues specific to their carrier like "my data speed sucks how about yours" or LTE is lit up in New York or Verizon put how much bloatware on their phones?
IDK, I'll be here reading everyday but it just doesn't seem to make sense to jumble all the carrier threads together. I've never done it but can we at least get a public opinion poll posted for users to chime in what they would like to see? Each variant sub-forum will still be huge simply because this will probably be the best selling Android phone of the year.
Finally I remain humble and grateful for all the help and learning I've gained from here; not making any demands but just a suggestion.
This is a very good point. I asked the exact same question in the moderator introduction thread and apparently nothing is scheduled to change so far. I think they should sub-divide this by variant, ie i747, 999, etc, similar to what was done in the one x forums. This is currently way too crowded to follow properly or contribute in a meaningful way. I think xda are not used to such sales numbers of a device and were ill prepared with their sub-forum breakdown. I am hoping they rectify this and break this up further for all of our sakes.

It Is weird for most of people that had phones that are available in 1 carrier and not others, but trust me everything will be fine, I been on galaxy nexus forums, evo 3d gsm and cdma, etc, and by just having like this you might learn new things and should make development easier and porting, just make sure you clarify what phone are you talking about, remember that XDA is hosting all these forums for it and we're no paying anything too, the more forums you have the more expensive it could be

I have an idea that would help both mods and us xda user when it come to SGs3 forum. General and accesories can be left without carrier specific names. Then sprint, verizon, att&t, and t-mobile can have their own sub-forums with development, Q&A, and themes & apps.
Ex.
[Sprint]Gs3
- Dev
-Q&A
- Themes & Apps
And last the title of the Gs3 forum title should be changed to
"U.S Samsung Galaxy S3 variants ( Sprint, T-mobile, Verizon, & Att&t)
With this two sub forums can be deleted that are present now since they'll be apart of the carrier variant sub forum.

I totally agree. Lumping all the carriers into one forum makes things so crowded that the forums are almost unusable. It's really difficult to get back to a topic that you were browsing unless you actually made a post and can look it up that way. This is all with a limited release, just wait till you can get these in any store!

Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
Lots of users didn't like the lumping of the forums; in particular the absolute fact that users will flash the wrong rom on their phones.
We've had users flash i9300 roms and they're not lumped in here. I agree that people should READ, but the reality is that lots do not in their haste and excitement.
I'm all for making things easier on the mods, because I could not imagine having to read EVERY post to make sure things stay on topic and civil. I just think there can be a happy medium between that and what the users would like.
I just wanted to say thank you to all the devs and the general user base on the forums for this phone. You are all very helpful and most of the time stay on topic for the subject. I know its the way your supposed to conduct yourselves on xda but coming from another device on here that was less than mature and helpful this is a very pleasant and mature group of people interested in getting the most out of the amaze and solving problems. So once again thank you all.

Hey guys, I know there are multiple threads that ask questions about this, but I thought it would good to make a thread where we can keep all questions, info and progress in one place.
With that being said, if any of the devs that are working on this can check in once and a while with progress updates, that would be great.
To my knowledge, as of now they have multiple root exploits but no way of making it worthwhile yet.
Any other info, questions or progress updates, just fire away!

Thanks for this.
Obviously, donations would be in order, from me anyways, for the one who gets us unlocked bootloader. Please help us, I knew this was locked when I traded, but didn't know it was so unlikely to be unlocked.
This would be the FIRST phone in 6 years to not be rooted, and I've had a lot of phones.
Please help....
