**UPDATE** We have a winner!! AdamOutler pinned down the first place, lucky us
Hey guys so I was just on the xda main page and saw XDA’s Favorite Phone and Tablet of 2011 Contest: Vote Now! and none other than the Unbrickable Mod's AdamOutler is trying to get our phone. If he does, he will bring on some really awesome development, I'd list some but just watch his video or look up the Unbrickable mod.
Ok we can be a little selfish here and vote for him to get it because we know that we will get all the rewards, along with the other 35 million owners of the Galaxy S II. So go vote here and hope he gets it.

Ever heard of Unbrickable Mod? Watch his video submission and you'll see what he does.
I shared the link on G+...twice. Right now he's crushing the competition with 73 votes.
He just got my vote too!
As a devoted user of Andromeda 3 on my Cappy, Adam has my utmost respect.
I voted too - although what I REALLY want to see is what he'll do with the Transformer!
This guy is awesome haha he reminds me of Adam West

The intro says this:
"... something Samsung was so happy about, they offered to give away three Galaxy S II’s on T-Mobile, Sprint, and Verizon."
If Adam can make a i777 ROM with one of those phones he's more amazing than I remember.

well i think we know that the Galaxy S II has only come out on three carriers: t-mobile, sprint and our at&t, not verizon so im guessing its a safe bet that the intro was just a typo

Adam isn't really a ROM guy - he's a bootloader/soldering-iron-to-the-hardware-guy. As in, he lives BELOW the kernel, where few dare to tread.
In short, he's where I usually prefer to reside, but I don't have the balls yet to take a soldering iron to my own device.
If Samsung ever pulls any really nasty bootloader shenanigans (ICS???), Adam will be the guy to save us. Right now only idiots can hardbrick an I777, but ICS could change things.
Adam got my vote. Thanks for putting this thread here... I almost never check the home page on xda... the dude is masterful, can't wait to see what goodness he brings to the i777.....
Adam got my vote too!

On a slightly unrelated note: the other entry videos that I watched kinda make me go /facepalm.

Would love to see what Adam could bring to the i777!
He seems to be the only Dev on that list. From his work on the Unbrickable Mod, he really deserves this phone.

I don't know how many people are familiar with faux123, but he makes amazing kernels for a wide range of devices. His kernels are always top notch and squeeze awesome battery life out our your devices. His sensation kernal took a single charge from 8-9 hours of heavy use to over 20. I've notice we have a some good kernel development here but I think we could benefit from some more (especially for MIUI or CM). I've worked with him on the Atrix and he's very interested in the SII but would need money to buy one. I'm going to throw $100 his way to get one but I'm asking for a little help. Visit his profile page, http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=3332811 to take a look at what he has done and I'm sure you will agree with me in getting his help over here. The work here is awesome and entropy has done a great job but we can always use some more help.
Just be careful with this thread. Someone did the same thing in the skyrocket forum for an awesome developer to get a skyrocket through donation and there are a few that are giving a ton of crap about it.

Awesome i had the atrix before sgs2 and was using faux kernel overclock made my atrix much better. Id donate if icould spare it unfortunitly im laid off. But glad too see this ihope he gets his device and people can behave
I had the atrix as well. Actually still have it and still dev for it but am digging my s2.

Yeah i had to jump ship moto will not comunicate with its customers. I made a couple threads and got motos facebook wall flooded with people telling them they were gna ditch them if they didnt add the atrix to the ics list. They still have tons of people asking them and they still havent added it to the list the say the same thing every time click this lonk for the latest aoftware news. Lol it hasnt changed the only devices they put on the list are verizon devices. So i gave up and went with the gs2. Sorry op for going off topic im done . Lol moral of the story isbdont buy moto

Well for one thing, the developer looking to get a Skyrocket doesn't need one to produce Skyrocket ROMs. He already has a T-Mobile Galaxy S II that is pretty much identical. Not to mention, his T-Mo ROM was already successfully ported to the Skyrocket. Thus many over there just see it as a money grab. It would be like me asking the i9100 community for a device when I clearly don't need one because our i777 is similar enough for me to make ROMs for them as well.
The developers ?? This makes all the difference on a device, the skyrocket has finally taken off. How long do you guys think it will take for the note ? Or will it not be embraced by the developers ?? I can't wait to get this monster again only been a week since i sold my n7000 and it feels like its been months

The great thing about XDA is the fact that there are varying degrees of talent here. From those with their first android device, to others who build custom roms. There is even support here for beginners to learn from those more experienced. The responsibility of creating development falls on the community, not just specific individuals in my opinion. As soon as the full rom dump is posted somewhere I would love to try rooting it. Then creating a mod to make it easier for others.
In short, give it time. People willing to work on it will come.
Keep in mind the people that will be moving to the Note.
Biggest groups:
-Dell Streak owners
-HTC Aria owners
-Samsung Captivate owners (just take a look at their dev community)
-a lot of Atrix owners seem to be moving over
I have faith that we'll have a robust dev community very soon. I'm trying to get into developing myself but it's a bit of a learning curve and I have a pretty busy personal life

I don't know about the dell streak devs. Most of the good ones are from the UK or Ukraine . So I don't see many coming from dell streak. Fards has the note but UK version. DJ Steve said he will never buy a Samsung and nop is part of the DSC club.

The device itself is still new. The only real devices that have amazing devs right off the bat are the Galaxy S phones and the Nexus line.
And who is the Infuse dev coming over to the Note?
I would help donate money to help pay for a Note for a dev if needed. Did that for the Atrix and Transformer

+1 ...we should find a capable dev, start a thread to collect donations and buy him AT&T Note. The only difficulty I see with that plan is that AT&T Note is not available off contract and one would have to marry AT&T for 2 years.
I would *love* to get this guy to develop for Note community, and would have no problem donating something like $50 to get the ball rolling.
I vote for DesignGears
It's available off contract on premiers website

Not that I've heard.
Was with AT&T and did great things for the Captivate. Talked about switching to Verizon. But I think he's still developing for the S2 on AT&T.
Most recently made an ICS kernel for the Captivate.
Hangs out on RootzWiki.

Well your work looks awesome. We'd love to have you here.
When there's a market for second hand Notes or something, we might be able to help you out.
We still have a Beta CWM? Does the Internation Note not help us with all on developement? It seems like the Infuse got off to a faster start when it first came out. Someone please shed some light on me!!!

Can't complain as some of the Devs in here are working blindly (don't even have the GNOTE). Just be thankful people are taking the time out of their lives to put the hard work in developing things For FREE. I on one hand have no clue on development, but I act as a guinea pig and test Rom and kernels to help give feedback to Devs so they can make adjustments or improvements.

Hello XDA!
I have a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S II and rooted it yesterday. Root brought it back to Gingerbread and I went to install ICS on it today following these directions.
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/ics-a...amsung-galaxy-s2-international-version-i9100/
Here's where I become stupid. These directions are for the international version and I have the Sprint version (with the four capcative buttons on the bottom.) Now, no matter how I boot, I get "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again."
A normal boot up reaches that screen, vol up + power reaches that screen, vol down + power reaches that screen. I don't see the "Galaxy S II" splash screen before that.
Did I just brick my phone? Any way out of this?? Need your help XDA!
Run, as fast as you can, to your own forum.
This is at&t, not Sprint.
