Hey Mikey I was wondering if you have any release schedule soon? I think if everyone chipped in and donated and reached your goal, do you think you have an idea when you ROM might come online?
Else I can say its only fair to roll the money over to another developer.... Just saying.

this doesnt belong in development. and A) did you send the guy money? if yes you did it with no contract or obligation. if you have regrets there is nothing anyone can really do to help that. and B) dont pester the devs, the guy was highly requested. people were just throwing money at him, it's been a couple days since he actual recieved the phone in his hands and now you want to take that money back?
You gotta be kidding me...

Wow, thats messed up. chill out... He just got the damn thing
if people pestered me to buy a device that i didnt want so i could make a rom then pestered me to get the rom out on a schedule i would make them wait too.
Like the rules of other good roms, don't ask eta's. If the have one they will let us know.

Hey I was just asking.... I wasn't pestering him nor do I know him on a personal basis.... so I wouldn't have an idea if he bought the device or not. Yes I donated money to him this time and I donated money for his serendipity rom on the cappy as well.
Its just a question... just to see whats going on... Did I say to have the money back? Noooo...
As well as there are devs such as GTG who is throwing up great ROMs in the meantime....
If people are chipping in money to get him a device, I was just asking whether if he was working on it.
Don't be such flametards as like I am asking him for a software release schedule or some ****....

The last sentence of your original post was rude since he just purchased the device. We all appreciate your donation to help but do not expect a ROM from him in 1-2 days. It is a donation without commitment on time from him. Based on Mike's work on other ROM's from the Captivate, I expect we will see great things from him on the Infuse in the near future. Your approach could have been better and posted in the correct forum.

Perhaps we can send you a donation to cover the donation you made to him to release you from this torture? Seriously dude, give the man time and you will be better respected around here. Asking to move your donation to another developer after the guy just bought the phone is uncalled for at this time.Can you whip up a decent new ROM from a new phone in a day?

Maybe you know him personally, but I didn't know he just bought a phone. Last I heard in the general thread, which was like 2 weeks ago, he was too busy and didn't have time to buy a phone....
I didn't say anything after that.... so I thought ok, well maybe he won't have time to work on a rom for this phone....
And seriously, did I say it was torture? I merely asked a question... Really??

Yes, he announced in another thread that he got it on Monday. I do not have the link but he has it. I apologize about my remarks since you did not know however, you can be a little more polite in your initial post asking if he even has it by eliminating your last sentence in your original post and posting to General forum since this is not actual development.
Maybe try sending him a PM instead next time especially since you donated. Again, we all appreciate your donation to make this possible. Just have a little patience and I am sure we will have a great new ROM soon.

sorry dude, you lose, big fail on the OP.... You basically said hurry up or give it to someone else... MAYBE if you did a little searching of his recent posts, you would know he bought one 2 days ago...

UPDATE:
Fist of all, BIG thanks to all that donated! This was a very awesome and unselfish thing that you all were a part of. As all of you might have read, and in case you didn't, morfic said:
"Thanks everyone, I'll be working on things this weekend, just gotta stay out of trouble with wife, so no feature promise.
In case anyone else feels compelled to still donate: Think who really helped you, find their donate button and donate to them!"
Thanks,
Daniel

With all that being said I will talk to him later and see what the plan is for the first release. Check back here for updates all this weekend. If you don't already, I recommend that all the donators follow http://twitter.com/#!/morfique. Updates will probably be posted there sooner than here.

but that never really seems to work and get alot of interest...
(EDT/TW websites)
i think maybe every dollar we donate to him he should also add to the pot...
i.e. i donate 15 bucks he puts in 15 bucks
so its not all of the community paying for his device just helping him
or maybe he should send out thank you android cards made from his blood and sweat to anyone that donates.....
lol i dunno but i will for sure donate thats all that matters i guess

im in for 15 as well. i havent personally used any of his work since i've never owned a vibrant, but i've certainly heard a lot about him.
always feels good to help out someone who can help us out as well.
I'm sure many of you are firmilar with evild's work on the n1, mt4g and other highend devices. I happened to flash his 3.0 rom on my wifes mt4g sand got to chatting with him. Hes interested in getting a g2x, so I told him id attempt to orchestrate a collection of funds to buy him a g2x. First things first, what will a no contract g2x cost? What is the cheapest anyone has seen one for sale off contract? Secondly, if anyone has an upgrade they are willing to donate, THAT WOULD BE PHENOMENAL! I'm good for $100 to start things off. If you find one off contract for cheap, please post links! Moderators, please feel free to get involved.
Check out evildroid.net
Crx4xharder $100

Or better yet if you don't, don't bother commenting on it!
Don't look at it as paying for there phone, but rather an advance for work they are going to do for you!

Your idea is ingenious. I will take it up with a friend whose a mod here and see what he thinks. Not sure it will get too far but you never know.
That is a very good idea. Giving thumbs down to certain posters would warn other readers at this forum. It would also be useful against scammers who steal the Dev's work and pawn the mods as their own begging for donations. There was one on the Samsung Epic forum last year and on the Asus Transformer forum a few weeks ago.

when its done
Well, we have to consider many things.
First and most importantly, Google just acquired Motorola's mobile phones division for $12.5 billion. That means that they are gonna be a major hardware manufacturer and the phones that they make will probably be able to handle Android better than the rest of the competition.
Also, don't forget that 2011 is the year of the rabbit. The rabbit is a swift little creature and it doesn't like to get caught.
If we compare cyanogemod to the rabbit, and then compare that to google's purchase of Moto's mobile division, then we can clearly see that there's no connection between any of these things.
So long story short, yes, we still don't know. We're all just sitting tight.
sad part is once they get cm7 they will want something else lol
I'm hoping for a MIUI released right after that

Ok guys So you own a SGS4g now what? Well lets just air out a few thing that get Devs absolutely fired up.
1) Requesting ROM features.
2) Ordering them to do something.
3) Repeatedly asking the same question.
4) Demanding
5) Complaining
6) Asking for a ETA on Alphas
7) Harassing
8) Threatening
I could keep going on about what makes them mad but there is already a thread about that. This thread is to Distract Noobs away from bugging the Devs by discussing ROMS with each other and answering each others questions that would normally bug Devs. Yes Devs are welcome here, but mainly this is thread to prevent Noobs from pestering the Devs about things that can be answered by other Noobs (or Google). Noobs feel free to ask, discuss, and converse away. Just remember flaming is bad so just don't do it. If you honestly don't understand the difference between positive criticism and negative then just don't criticise anyone. Better yet lets keep negativity to ourselves.
Lets get a few Questions out of the way.
Q) Does the SGS4g have an ICS ROM yet.
A) Yes There are several
Q) Who's fault is it if I brick my SGS4g?
A) YOURS, Obviously you failed to follow instructions.
Q) What's the difference between a soft brick and a hard brick.
A) One is ceramic and one is foam!! JK
DEFINITIONS you need know as a NOOB
NOOB A person only intent in serving on their own self interest.
Newb Person new to XDA

As to whether or not they abide by the agreement is up in the air. We have to wait until they are ready to update our phone, aka when S2 sales fall, before we see an upgrade. Its all about keeping us from buying a competitors phone.

Motorola got around that by stating certain devices will not operate any better on ICS than GB. There is many ways to get around that agreement. If there wasnt none of them would have agreed to it.
Alright I'm starting to get weirded out by the misspelling in the thread title. OP, I'll hit the thanks button if you fix it.

I was going to say, it's kind of funny a guy starting a thread for "noobs" and he can't even spell discussion. Lol.

There you go thanks. I tend to be a little sleep deprived when I can get a chance to steal the computer away from the kids.

True but it's all about sales, if they feel that upgrading your phone will prevent you from buying the competitor, especially if the competitor releases a phone that is cheaper then their current market topper. It only makes perfect business sense if you can't sell them something new, prevent them from buying from someone else. If you have noticed that's why updates tend to always be released/leaked around the same time as a new competitors phone is released.
I would like to apologize to Lumin and fb I made and guide that was based off incorrect info, they stuck by there guns in correcting me. I was wrong as happens sometimes. The guide should be removed soon.

No need to apologize. Just glad you finally listened
I am not about to let someone brick their phone. Just because I was stubborn.

For those now on ICS
I have found an awesome new version of the XDA app, no I didn't develop it I found it.
It is an ICS themed blue XDA Developers APK Developed by Whiskey103.
It is the free version but if you are OCD and love colors to match then here you go.

hello everyone As some of you must have already read that Moto is closing down in asia-pacific and so in india, I was thinking to sell of my A2.I'm not really sure but thoughts are coming in my mind.So what I want to ask here is that is there any development and breakthrough on good front going on ? (I'm sure something or other might be surely brewing up amongst devs) but still is it that exciting, If yes i would hold of my A2 and wont sell it off (If i am getting some good ROM) or atleast a progress on it (don't get me wrong here i m not pushing anyone).
Just wanted to ask coz, if there is no future regarding development I might think to sell A2 before the prices drop even more.
regards,
peace.
PS : I know the secrecy so if someone wants to reply but doesn't think its right to post in here coz Moto might see it, can drop me a PM

I already know that nothing is guranteed but looking at situation one can atleast judge what is up in store.Right now that dev section is kinda stagnant and devs are upto something in secret and that is absolutely fine considering what moto has done in past.So a small heads up would always be welcomed.

Really? How long have you been here? To pose the question as to if there may be no 'exciting' advances being made on the development front is rather insulting. I can say that I myself have worked 'behind the scenes' and these guys are ALWAYS working on things. How "exciting" they may be is purely based on your own perception. If there was any indication of having no future of development, don't you think these guys would have moved on half a year ago from this phone? Also, I don't see as to why Motorola shutting down to some capacity in India would have any bearing on whether to sell your Atrix 2 or to keep it. Not sure if this is "forum fishing", but hold onto your pole... you're going to get some bites.

You missed my point here, I'm afraid. I posed a question in retort to your own, pointing out all of the 'breakthroughs' that have been made in almost a year, and more specifically here lately. No, the dev team hasn't bought tickets to "Margaritaville" and will not be kicking up their heels after ordering two pina coladas- they are always on the job, and always testing. If you'd like to pass your Atrix 2 on, for whatever reason, then I wish you the best. Impatience has always run amok here in this forum, and more so recently. Be it due to Motorola or otherwise, it's rather unnecessary. I'd suggest waiting before you pull the trigger on a sale of your Atrix 2, with the abilities we are fortunate enough to benefit from by our devs, this is why I opted to hold onto mine after purchasing the SGS3. But, as LaVar Burton used to say, "You don't have to take MY word for it"...

For one I'm not being impatient.Impatient would be "hey you dev wats taking you so long i want new ROM" < This is impatient and arrogant. I never said anything like this,It was just a humble question.If you as a kid as some questions to your elder coz they know more does that count as being arrogant,impatient and rude ? I guess no.I asked very humbly as they know much much more than me.And again for the breakthrough as I said earlier yet repeating for nth time i am grateful to them and did not discredit or deny that fact.They have done much awesome work and changed the A2's scene.But for once just get in my shoes and try to think,and again if someone interprets this as disrespecting devs i really cant help coz i didn't.

You're right my friend, but the atmosphere and the people being what they are around this forum, you were always going to be flamed. I'd warned you.
In any case, there's not much anybody is going to be able to tell you. Things are uncertain and they take time...you know what I mean.
I wonder why anybody can't understand that Motorola leaving India does have a bearing on whether you want to keep your phone. I perfectly understand.
Anyway, long story short, on this forum, if you ask a question - you're spamming, if you don't know something - you're an idiot, if you you have a different opinion - you're being aggressive.
Pay no heed. Relax. Enjoy life

Lol! If you think my comments were "flaming", you ain't seen flaming yet. I'm not answering for the devs here, but exchanging with the OP my own rebuttal. I'll allow any dev here the opportunity to address the question. Perhaps you shouldn't be so sensitive, athani. Just a suggestion...
Edit: I really wasn't trying to be a jerk, but when someone - anyone - makes a post, they should expect to have it open for discussion. That's all I was engaging in.

Oh, I'm good. Trust me, my blood pressure is still within normal range. I was just clarifying that my comments were not of a "flaming" nature. Now, if others flame the OP over this, I'd have to align myself with Archmag3, in that he's got every right to ask a question here. With every question should come answers, unfortunately and at times frequently they happen to be befouled with opinion.

I never suggested that any particular persons comments were "flaming" in nature. So we're cool. BTW, "opinions" by themselves can never "befouled" or for that matter be true or untrue. That's something lots of people here don't understand. Hence, all the unpleasantness.

Let's not argue semantics here, I stated that "answers" can be befouled with opinion. That is quite categorical.

I think the resale value will be adversely affected because of real or perceived lack of after sales support.
About chance to own a Motorola phone, I think that is less of a consideration as these days, everything is available on ebay India.
