[POLL] MT4G Dev Wishlist

UPDATE: According to Enomther's twitter, he's already getting a MT4G from a donor
Ok I think we've gotten enough feedback in the other thread to start the poll up and collect votes.
For the record, I am not including Cyanogen in the poll. I know we all want him but he is busy and will not likely touch a sense-based phone. However I am including Zinx, who is another member of #TeamDouche and was kmob's recommendation to take over the CM6 port for the MT4G. Whosdaman and I both talked to him and he's on board with helping us with the CM6 port. His work is exclusive to CM, but he is likely our best bet for a successful port. If that's your cup of tea, I recommend you vote for him.
As of right now Zinx is the only one of these options we've contacted and that has even agreed to work on the MT4G. If another frontrunner emerges we will contact them as well and gauge their interest.

Lets get him a phone so he can start cooking up roms... if we want roms... we can all donate a little bit of money to get him a MT4G so he can work on them. You need to give to receive...

I know its not much but I can donate $5 to get him a MT4G does he have a Twitter so I can follow. Contact me in PM or Twitter when donations are ready to be given. @eleeo037.

I can donate some money tomorrow.

Every bit helps. His twitter is @zinxv.

I have to vote for evil. His work with sense roms on the nexus is awesome. his mt4g port to the nexus was the reason i bought it and sold the nexus... the n1 port was only lacking camera as well. So id love to have weekly updates from his roms as i had with the n1...As far as donations, im not greedy these guys put in a lot of time. Ive already donated $50 to evil and will end up doing the same for whatever developer comes up with a rom i use for months on end like i did evils nxsense series of roms. Im not a huge cyanogenmod fan so this is just my prejudice opinion haha

Yeah this was not intended to be a "let's donate to get CM working" thread. The goal is to stimulate development in the mt4g community. The best way to do that is to entice our favorite devs to come over here.
That being said...I think getting a working CM6 port for the mt4g would be a big shot in the arm for dev interest on our device regardless of whether or not you prefer CM.

I'm game to throw some money down I am dying for some cm on my phone!

I would definitely donate to whoever will create stable roms and will be active I don't want the dev scene to sure for this phone like the slide did

I think we all know that Cyanogenmod is not the only rom out there, however, it does have a very large pull in the community. Many developers use the CM rom to build off of and expand. I know that any of these developers could produce good roms, but whats going to produce the best results in the long run is having a CM rom on the Mytouch4G.
Just tell me when and where to donate.

Ok I'm anouncing Zinx the winner at 20 votes. Watch for my donation thread folks. Time to put your money where your mouths are

Lets get this ball rolling!

Goodbye Axura... :(

Hi guys,
I wanted to post this on the Axura thread, but it got closed minutes before i could do so...
Firstly, I'm not even from the USA. I'm located in South East Asia - Malaysia to be more accurate.
I managed to get hold of a Captivate and have been with Axura since day one.
[unlike you guys, I had to pay the full price of the device. There's no telco subsidy for it since, it's not an official phone in my country]
I've bricked once, lagfix multiple times from ext4 to none, to ext2 and back.
And it's been working great for me. I get fantastic signals from Adam's Axura ROM and even GPS is great. (it locks me in seconds after changing to supl.google.com).
In terms of battery life, i must say adam has done an excellent job. I upgraded from the Legend, and seeing the additional size of the screen and higher processing power, I'm getting decent battery life. (and like all of us Asians, we love the internet, so 3G consumption is ultra high).
I just wanna say this - if you can't stand the battery drain, flash another rom.
If you can't flash another rom, use the stock rom.
If that is not enough for you, get an extra battery - i believe it's more affordable for you guys (we pay like 30+ USD for these same batteries).
If you think the captivate or any android phone drains battery, get a blackberry - should last you one to two full days. Or a nokia. Yes, get a nokia.
To Adam, I hope you change your mind, and continue developing.
I enjoy using Axura. And although flashing some other ROM is VERY tempting, i always find myself convincing myself not to - because i'm satisfied with it, and there's no reason for me to.
I hope to see Axura 2.6...
And i still hope...

That ROM has changed hands three times in a couple months. Someone elese will pick up that ball. YOu have to have thick skin to develop. People demand so much and offer nothing. Most do not donate to the developers or site for their upgraded devices. Then ***** and moan about paying $2 for and App like TiBu or Root Explorer that will save their asses when they do start enjoying the developer's work.
Amazing. I don't blame Adam really. Everybody *****es about the hard time given noobs on DGs threads but he stays out of the threads and lets the community police themselves.....hence he has the most popular ROMS maybe not so much because they are the best but because he will be there for the long run and eventually fix the issues. I left DG and tried the other great ROMS like Axura and Assonance since Cog 6 and P6 because those ROMS were not stable enough for me....But he has fixed them and is abandoning the OC/UV ROMS which I believe is a good idea. That is why his thread has been around and has a lot of posts. not because its the "friend;y" thread. But because it is consistent and has been there through thick and thin. Noobs have a tough time there because they don't want to read 10 pages back most of the time.
DG's skin is thick and his followers police their own and make people READ. Not much hand holding because all the information is readily available. As Adam can attest to now hand holding does not pay off. The "friendliest thread" is not so friendly from the users who whine about battery life, something that can easily be remedied with an extra battery, a luxury not available on more and more phones. There are always whiners no matter what who take advantage of other's hard work yet contribute nothing.
Axura can be downloaded as is and be a daily driver along with a few versions back without issues. It is a good ROM as is Assonance. Many more newer ROMS have come out. Some will disappear as fast as hey came. Others may stick around.

It was bound to happen. Hell master opened up ce axura had a tantrum closed it then reopened it, then had another tantrum and what do ya know, closed again. Hans reopened it and did a wonderful job but life took him away from axura, best dev imo, no offense to Adam. Then adam took over for a bit. Did a good job but couldn't handle the people who want free stuff to be perfect and then want more again for free lol.
Axura is an awesome rom but is and was doomed from the beginning lol

No, Axura ends here. No one else is going to pick it up unless Master says so unfortunately. I was asked by Hans to take over outside of the thread as I supported it and its users like no other. Once I took over only a handful stayed with the program and treated me the same. The rest turned into a bunch of hungry vultures that would be no where without people like Hans, Master, myself and the other great devs on here. I know it is open source, but unless the person who attempts to take it over is ready for a **** storm, I highly recommend reconsidering. I wish it didn't have to end this way, but I am a man of values and do not like being disrespected and am done with it.

I believe adam was doing an excellent job. Axura is the most stable and reliable rom I have used. All of whiners out there should be ashamed of themselves. They are acting like they have paid hundreds of dollars for the roms. They are free and all of them are betas. If you don't like a rom, just flash another one. Don't whine and moan and try to piss everyone else off too. Hats off to you Adam. You did a fantastic job and we are gunna miss you.

Its all about ROM rep. DG threads are full of assholes ready to flame the next new comer for asking a simple question, same goes for Axura(not as bad as DG tho). we treat each other like ****, leading us to treat devs like ****. Its a big cluster **** of a vicious circle.

We need to end this cycle before it causes even more problems than it already has. I am in talks with right now(no names are being disclosed) to see what we will do going forward. No promises, but you may see Axura again. If it does come back that thread is going to be cleaned up and overhauled like no ones business. I am not going to dev and have assholes blowing it up.

yea Axura was the best!

Seriously? How old is everyone? I can't believe this **** goes on in thread about phone ROM's. This is ridiculously childish.. I bite my tongue sometimes before I post because of the responses people give with their CYBER BALLS - but in the end, say F it because who the **** are they? Some guy on their laptop that read a couple pages and feels they can **** on everyone since the other guy didn't know the answer. This is an open forum for people to ask questions and get respect and guidance from those that do know the answer and should not ***** about the same question that is ALWAYS going to get asked over and over again.
Adam, good luck with whatever you decide to do.
On to the next one...

I believe the solution to your problem is to create a wiki, with FAQ and all. Don't answer anything via post, only put it in FAQ/changelog/fixes whatever.
As for people flaming you, don't bother. If they are truly pissed off, they will go to another ROM.

I feel bad about the devs here taking crap from whiney users. I ask certain questions, test it, if it fails, re-do the entire phone, and never complain. It is all about treating the devs and each other with respect, while I have noticed some people just whine and then want all these extra features and usually want them now. I personally, am just happy to have a stable rom running on my phone because I do not like the stock rom especially with running Froyo compared to Eclair!
Cheers,
Charlie

It is not just the internet. Imagine putting just about all of your free time into a project and having people complain and complain and have it seem as though you are never doing it right. The issue with the battery pushed me over the edge. You all wanted a super fast ROM that did it all. I made sure you had that and then a good portion of you whined that the battery was dying faster than you liked. You cant have the best of both worlds. Keep your eyes and ears open in the next few days. That is all I have to say.

I never used Axura, it looked good, but honestly, I would just make a statement stating your stance on the battery topic and keep it moving. These people will move on and get tired of complaining and whining. You can't please everyone.

Yeah I have to say, if you're willing to ROM dev, you gotta have thicker skin. Is Samsung closing their doors because a ton of people are mad about not getting Froyo? No, because thats ridiculous. There are lots of people who love the work being done, as far as the dicks that don't, ignore them, dev for yourself and because you want to share what is working for you. I gotta say I'm gettign sick of the Axura drama, first Master, Hans, and now this? Grow up and either keep it going and ignore the haters or quit, its just getting old at this point.

Thats the way it should be. You work hard and respect should be given. Thank you for all your hard work
Hope to see you back in the game.

Good luck Adam. I have been running Axura since Hans, and you contributed some amazing work! I am sorry to see it end this way, but perhaps it is for the best.

Biggest problem is that I noticed is people test these rom's by the hour or release. And some expect a perfect rom the first time. People forget this a development community. Also if people would run a rom for a week they would notice that a battery can actually improve over time. I try to run roms for a week or more and always see improved battery life. I just hate to see the dev's taking heat for their hard work. Good Luck adam and thanks for all that you done.
edit: Oh and why should devs have thicker skin? They give their work away. Nobody should have to sift through asinine comments. I damn sure wouldn't take that kind of abuse in real life. No reason to take it from some anonymous pricks on the internet.

agreed. Like Charles Barkley said, half the people love you and the other half hate you. There's nothing you can do about it.
Many of the people in this forum are assholes, but most aren't. Why let the vocal minority win when they are clearly in the wrong?

How will we ever know for sure???

With every fifth post being some sort of claim about the release of froyo for captivate, How will we ever know when it happens for real?
So if you were to stumble across the real release, How would you title your thread????
Lol. This ought to be good...

If it becomes official
1. At &t will announce it.
2. Every android site would announce it.
3. This forum will go nuts with everyone putting [official] in the title.
4. Custom ROM users would be laughing at the quality of it.
But till then keep the dream alive.... I like your optimism.

Speaking of that, what happened to your signature, no more patrick's day betting?

Well, I for one, could care less if/when they release it ... I think the devs around here can use some portions of it to further improve the ROMs we're seeing. I'm sure that there are quite a few people who have cappys, and don't even know what XDA Developers is, that should be very excited should it ever be released.
I'm on Andromeda 2.1 with the Speedmod K13 kernel and everything is great.
But to answer the question as to how we'll know when it's out? ... Your Mom will have it on her phone.

I predict AT&T will announce their official plans for froyo and eventually gingerbread for the captivate on April 1st.

The day we get Froyo.... is the day they make an LG Env with froyo for all the preteen girls who want to text their BFF Jill without needing a lagfix. We're such a low percentage of the customer base.
4/5 captivate owners I know don't even know what froyo is.
Getting it out there isn't quite a main concern of AT&T right now, what with their unveiling of newer, shinier Pantech phones with lower specs than the ones before it. T_T

Yeah, most of the people that really want Froyo just flash their phones. Why would AT&T/Samsung bother paying someone to make a working build when their customers will do it for free? The only reason AT&T will release Froyo and Gingerbread updates would be to prevent their customers from using tethering and AP for free. Speaking of which, I need to donate to Team Komin

Let's stay on topic here....
This is a serious thread... lol

The day that froyo releases somebody will start a thread with the name:
It's Finally here! Froyo has arrived [Official]
And then all the trolls will spam the thread with their WE WANT GINGERBREAD trolling. So I guess it's the day the world explodes..

Something like "Holy crap, Froyo is out for cappys. No really, it is, seriously, not a joke, look for yourself. Ah forget it"

Cappy Rom Corp

Ok everyone here we go. I am launching an idea, devs can think about this
Launch a company called Cappy Rom Corp. Within this company setup a development center to create nothing but the best gingerbread rom ever. From there it takes care of itself and we can has sick roms!
Basic development layout should be:
1. Obtain sick phone known as cappy
2. Obtain sick pc for you can has development beacon
3. Make sick roms.
That's just an off the top of my head outline but it should help with development.

*blink* what? *blink*

Are you 12?
Samsung Galaxy S i896 on Cezar's Continuum v5 GingerBread

you mean kinda like a development team?
kinda like team phoenix?
or kinda like the other teams?
a group of people that come together to make the "best" "sickest" rom they can...
sound familiar?

This is like the best idea since sliced bread...
....Or XDA....

Lolwut??!??
Teams are there for this sole reason alone.
Sent from my Captivate. Andromeda 3, Onix 2.0.5 @ 1.2Ghz

Cause the devs for CM7 and JVB-based ROMs are trying to create crappy, un-sick ROMs right?

Ok guys I am gonna close this up now. As you can see there are a few Teams around doing just what you suggest. As well as posting it in the wrong forum.

To all the Devs and members of this site [READ]

I have been a viewer of this site for quite some time and you Devs have took my sgs4g from a random rebooting piece of poop to a bad ass high end smart phone. Iv been here since the bionix frost was dropped by team whisky and have loved all the team acid roms since. You guys obviously have amazing coding skill and are making this a user made device, And i mean you all not just team acid, M4xM4n, Erikmm, Raver, Whitehawk, Krylon, AntonX, Hampsterblade, Thomas raines, Bhundven (Pretty skilled guy there), And many more, your all beating samsungs definition of the sgs4g. But theres a problem it seems when things get hard some of you get overwhelmed, Stay true to the goals please ignore the rest. Not pointing fingers but there are a few devs who have bailed out in the past and came back or didnt at all. i know these noobs who come in are absolutly rediculous and stuiply annoying but please just ignore them. And when it come to conflicts between you all like when the airfuip and team nerd thing happend, Just remeber at one point this section was flourishing and everyone got along thats when we had alot or roms come out, We all love this phone and wanna see you do great things to it, and you guys love either the attention, or the coding because i know M4xM4x and thomas rains, have both said they work more when there not posting every little fix and patch. They give more time to the rom and less to us for a reason users so stop the flaming crap and devs you keep doing what you do. BTW it would be great to have a working CM7 by the end of the week...
Just kidding lol

good 1
+1 on this. I just purchased one to replace a lost SGS 4G, so I will be lurking and patiently waiting for some more excellent roms.
kcb

I wish everyone supported what you say. I still have the exact same relation with team acid. Only bhundven seems to get along with me. I how they realize that I am a good person, and I have tried to fix the mistakes.
