Would you would like CM7 on your Thunderbolt? Slayher is going to get it done with the communities help. He currently supports CyanogenMod on the Droid Incredible as part of the Team, http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Community_Members
If you can skip Dunkin Donuts, the bagel, etc for a day or two and donate this will not take very long. I will be posting this on several forums and linking back here, lets keep this thread clean and to the point of getting a TBolt into Tony's hands...hopefully on release day.
Donations for Slayher's ThunderBolt.
THANKS EVERYONE, Slayher has received enough donations from the community to support CM7 on the Thunderbolt!
Big Thanks to ChevyBoy as he donated the difference himself so Slayher can buy the TBolt today.
Bsthemes donated.

OK thats exactly what I'll do.
Slayher, I'm going to double my donation. Jcase is forwarding what I was going to give him, to you.
Donated! Cyanogen is the main reason I upgraded from the Droid X. I love my X, but really wanted an unlocked boot loader for this very reason
This just made my day!!! This is the reason I am getting another HTC after selling my Sexy Nexy and now working for VZW. Can't wait to get this thing going. Donation coming soon!
I'm all about CM7 support, donated!
I will gladly donate credit card number waiting

I'm in. God Speed.
Just donated.
donated! thanks for all the hard work on those incredible kernels!
Done. Good luck!
just donated. Preordered my Thunderbolt from Wirefly yesterday, but I doubt I'll actually activate it until CM7 is available. I'm running it on my Droid right now and loving it!
Awesome, just donated. I wonder if LTE is going to be a problem on CM for awhile?
Sent from my DInc using XDA Premium App
Awesome!! Good luck. Any ETA on CM7 support for the TB?
Nice! Can't wait to get rid of my Eris for the TB. Can't wait to play with Cyanogen on it.

I am trying my hardest to give back to the community that got me started in the first place...
But lately, I am burned out by the endless complains and repetitions of same questions / answers which I have already stated clearly in my OPs....
Anyways... going to take a break from all this for a while...
[/RANT]
all i can say is thanks for everything you have givin us!!! i love your work and the fact that you are so hands on with all of us, even the people that are too lazy to read and learn before they ask the same effin questions over and over again... but you have to remember, that you are doing this for free and take time for number 1, YOU!!! i have no complaints about a break from the nonestop dev'ing you have been giving to us, i will be looking forward to your comeback...
btw, did ya get my donation?
its all cool faux go take a break everyone needs one every once in a while to get some motivation back so thanks for all the goodness and block all the complainers out. they just whinny little kids anyways. if we could we would donate for vacation for you
No sweat, everybody needs some off time. Those complaints and repetitive questions are unfortunately unavoidable because not everyone here is as technically/technologically inclined as the rest. Those of us who are truly appreciate your work and will miss you until you come back.
Take your time. I love your kernels I can wait. To bad alot of people don't bother reading.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
Faux, love all the work you do! Never had any issues with any of your kernels/ROMS and everything runs so smooth. Its understandable to take a break every once in a while to stay sane. Just dont over-do it and take a load off. Hope you enjoy your 'you time' and wish the best. Cant wait to see you back!
take a break Faux. Don't let it get to you
You deserve it. Thanks for the work you have done. Hope to see you back soon.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Kinda been expecting this. You were a machine.
If you don't come back I hope the work you put in helps you in future endeavors.
I'll broken record what everyone has already said....what you've done in the past month or so is insane, you def deserve a break. Thanks a ton for all your work.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
I think the reasons you've already pointed out are why we loose some devs and others form groups. I think it's great that you've joined up with Team Royal, but at the same time I think the group may be taking on too much for it's size. What are there now six team royal roms? I don't know what things look like behind the scenes but that seems like a lot in such a short amount of time. At any rate you guys need a PR front man to take care of the *****ing and moaning and redundant questions while you do what the rest of us can't. Not that I'm volunteering, sorry I just can't spare the time.
Being a server at a restuarant I can kinda relate to this. The more tables your asigned to, the more your brain has to work lol, and also u kinda get stressed out because u have a person over here who complained about thier food and another here crying about not having enough ice in their soda lol. Even if your doing the best u can
you and team royal work hard no doubt about that, maybe their could be an option in the front page of each forum where the main questions about specific roms are already answerd. Idk just a thought
But mainly the brain does need rest at times!!!!!!!!! Especialy at a high level velocity u guys go on lol.... Devs are awesome, god bless

Faux, just wanted to say that I appreciate what you have done. You have really pushed the boundaries of what our phones can do. You and your work are second to none!
Noob here saying thanks. I have read a lot of your posts on dev and Wow. Go make yourself some money!
everybody else sums it up. thank you, faux. i hope you enjoy yourself.
your kernels are second to none!
Hey Guys,
Here we go again. G2/nook. now TB.
Who is in for making donations to make a fully working AOSP or CM7 version of thunderbolt (mecha) with FULL LTE/3G and WIFI. Everything must work. Or bounty will not be collected and returned to people.
Rules:
1) As above. Everything must work!
Wifi/ Blue tooth / video / cam back and forth / video / full playback of video (no hacks) smooth video playback even on youtube.
You may donate as much as you want:
I have been known to do this for the community. The person/group who gets it. Can give it to charity to xda or buy beer. I really don't care.
Donation link: Removed Link [Under Moderator Review]
If people dont like this idea. Please state below and I shall remove this post or have a mod do so.
Thanks!
Reserved.
Also. Mod if you feel this needs to go to general. You may move it. Sorry if i mis-placed this.
Why are we doing this when someone is working on it already?

Make a fully working AOSP and I am sure you will get donations....
not proper to ask in advance...

agreed ^^ CM is almost done, they have lte working and 3g, just finishing up on wifi, blue tooth and some others. Cyan said in his interview nightlies should start soon.
Most of that is already working in CM7, is it not? No need for a bounty imo, they will get it if its not done already.
Oh well. Lets see what people think. Sharing is caring
I don't think its a bad idea as some may, I know cyanogen's peeps are working on it but cyanogen and his team aren't the only developers out there who may wanna get in on this. I say go for it, competition is always a good thing! As long as the person or persons who release it first get the donations promised go for it. Moved to general.
Wow this why I like the Eris community better. No one asked for bounties, and everyone got along. This is ridiculous, when you bought the phone, you paid for what you got and if u want something else then wait till the devs do it at their own pleasure.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
I don't like this idea and will be reviewing this thread with other mods.
If u want to donate u should look for a way too donate to slayer and his crew who r spendn a lot of their time to get this up and running for us..
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
Also the donations for the Nook were never for a bounty. It was to get more devices to more devs in hopes of getting something going.
Sure.. while I'm at it, I'll also donate to your "Wedding fund", Which when clicked, takes you to your "Dev Phone" fund. Geez man.. how many donation scams are you running? lmao, get a J-O-B.
inb4 Op makes $200,000/yr has 3 houses and 4 cars and I'm a loser.
Yea i'd say shut this down and donate straight to cyanogen if you want.
-sent via 1.21 giggawatts of android.
Locking thread until further review
If you would like to see some awesome stuff come this way from these guys, feel free to send some donations...goal is 350 per dev in order to get a g2x for each of them. Don't see the harm. Either you would like to you would don't; NO FLAMING...thanks noobs and senior member alike!
Birgertime/Romanbb
Whitehawkx
Follow us on twitter to keep track of the amounts gained, will get removed once reached! @jface21 @romanbb @whitehawkx
Preview of things to come:
9 Lockscreens! for Froyo
9 Lockscreens! for Gingerbread
***Disclaimer***
NOT requiring you to donate, but for sake of more cool stuff for you/me, it would be super awesome. I did this NOT them!
I could throw some change their way...great Vibrant devs. Have they committed to develop if they get the phone? Might help to hear from them.
Anyway your BirgerTime Paypal link doesn't work.

White and I are dying to play with a new phone. We'll give it all we've got
(by the way, this was jface's idea, white & I didn't know he was doing this, thanks jface)
I will be 110% committed to development on the G2X. First order will be a multitude of lockscreens for everyone to choose from. Roman has been developing all kinds of status bar tweaks and such which can be viewed here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1123830.
Since the G2X is aosp based we will be able to do so much more with it. That and that fact that Roman is a java master. Needless to say, I dont think anyone will be disappointed.
BTW - thanks jumaan for getting this going.

The link should be fixed now and if you decide to donate to them, thanks for the support =)

Good to hear you guys are interested. I looked at some of your work and was very impressed. I donated a bit...will do more next week (after payday).
A note to everyone complaining about a perceived lack of development...devs can't afford to purchase every new device that they are willing to support (working for free). If you want more development, support it. Skip the morning Starbuck's and give a couple bucks...just my two cents.
just donated to both of you
hope you guys get the phone!
but while your waiting i have sgs4g favor to ask hehe
anyway you guys can deodex the GB rom with root inside please
i rooted the rom just cant get it to deodex
we are having problems
only if its not to much though!
much love for you guys work <3
Guys, I used birgertimes roms in the vibrant days and they were the most stable, eye candy full roms, that would fly. I'm down to donate when I get trip a computer. We need more developers.

THANKS!
they are both at $10 a pop 340ish to go!
Maybe everyone who is leaving to the sensation would be willing to sell theirs at a discounted rate
I will see about scrounging some cash to donate! More devs the better!
Alright, got 10 sent to Birgertime and 10 to Whitehawk. You guys rock and I can't wait to see what you guys can come up with!!!!!!! Trust me guys, they can make some KILLER roms!
will donate we need something new, f the sentation
If progress keeps coming as fast as it is now, they might have g2x's before the end of June!!
Thanks for the support guys. We will no let you down.
Bump. Come in guys. trust me, they will do amazing things for us.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
I was a vibrant owner and sold them for the g2x....these two devs are the best at what they do.....lol this would change the game completely.......omg im so happy now..down with the sensation now boys
i made some douchebag comments bout donating when i first joined this forumz a couple months ago so imma send some in cause after flashing and using roms it reali is worth it
Alright guys... we al know we have spur of ports for us in the last few weeks, and then in the last week had 2 native roms being released...All of this was made possible by Dman, bigfau, and boostnsubaru(pm me if i forgot anyone)... and it really livened up our forum... but as we all know, there are new phones out, and no doubt alot of us probably want them.
So i'm making this post to try and keep these developers with us even if they want to venture into new phone territory. As we know dman his giving is infuse to his daughter and getting a skyrocket, but will still develop for us if we can donate one for him... he said he got 500 downloads in the first week of CatyRom... which i have really enjoyed... here is the link for it for anyone who has not seen it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1367377
If all 500 or so of us would donate less than a dollar, he would be able to buy another from anywhere he wishes, even though AT&T might not have them in stock, there is always ebay, craiglist or something like that, so please if everyone would donate 60cents, we could keep a great developer.
Now i am not trying to praise Dman, and leave the other 2 out... bigfau has also made a native rom for us, and ported plenty of roms over to us
Here is his native rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1375212
Boost ported over MitRa and MIUI, which itself sounds like a large feat
So lets try and show our support and donate to them to keep us alive... there are more than enough of us to do that
well i donated a little something to start it off the other day. hopefully others will follow suit.
I would donate to someone for cm roms but is on medical leave and its unpaid so doctor vists and no income has sunk me.

Didn't hear that news about Dman. Thanks for telling it aloud. I think that I will get a paypal and make a few bucks online so that I can donate to all the devs. All you guys are incredible. SO much drive.. really incredible. Seriously.

+1. Dman is like the new gtg465, we need him to stay and not go. He has done so much, without him the infuse development may sink some more. There are devs left, but they are slowly decreasing. I, for one am going to start. Just the problem is my infuse is pretty much bricked for good, and if the opportunity comes for me to go to the skyrocket or even plain gs2 because of my infuse, it will be taken. I will be getting either (and the gnexus too!) because my parents can upgrade. Hopefully my phone comes to a working state, I feel a need to dev for the android phone that introduced me to all. Whoops I blabbered too much lol.
I will donate when I get home
