XDA Developers (also known simply as XDA; often stylized as xda-developers) is a mobile software development community launched on 20 December 2002. Although discussion primarily revolves around Android, members also talk about many other operating systems and mobile development topics. Many software and hardware hacks, rooting methods, and other phone and tablet specific tweaks originate from the members of the XDA Forum. XDA Developers also hosts the XDA Portal, a source for Android and mobile phone development news, as well as XDA Labs (shut down in 2020), an Android app and repository that acts as a third-party application provider. They were launched in 2010 and 2016, respectively. Montreal based Valnet Inc. acquired XDA Developers along with four other websites, Pocketnow, AppAdvice, BackyardBoss and Hook&Bullet from Busy Pixel Media in February 2022. From Wikipedia
