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!

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.

I just wanted to take some time to show some well deserved appreciation to the Infuse devs. You guys are the "good stuff" and took a phone that was left in the dust and turned it into a gem. I also appreciate your families for their patience for all the time you've spent working on the device. I'm sure some nights weren't that "easy" if you know what I mean. These past 8 months have been really cool, especially when I had to show people what my phone was capable of doing even though it was deemed "old tech". I will also miss the community, you're some of the most helpful I've seen in these forums, and I've frequented the others, and the infuse community has been top notch! All I gotta say, is I'll miss you guys.
Thanks: the collective (all of you), entropy, qkster, experiment, Scott.hart.bti, bigfau, jscott30, bigjoe2675, Zen arcade, JT, jblparisi, dman, AdamOutler...I know I forgot a bunch, but you know who you are.
Lastly, if I can give my $0.02 to noob and/or power flasher, patience is a virtue, and reading and searching will get you an answer to a question that's already been addressed. Much respect!

Edit 5: For those unhappy with the changes, see this post.
Edit 6: The second Nexus 7 winner (XDA Recognized Developer ::indie:: ) has been chosen. Stay tuned, as we finalize the details on the additional prize that will be given to the original winning nominator!
I'm thankful for everything I have, although I might not have much.
My Galaxy Nexus (Lilly) is doing well and even though my Nexus 7 (Mindy) is broken right now, and my laptop (Katya) is failing on me, I'm still glad I have something.
But if I somehow win, I'd for one of the AOKP developers to receive the Nexus 7. I'm not sure if AOKP counts as a developer since it's a group, but I hope we can figure something out. Happy holidays everyone!
I am thankful for aorth 's development and contribution for the Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus 7.0. Without him we would all very likely be stuck with stock. He has built many Recoveries, and builds and maintains CM ROM's( 9& 10) for just about every tab plus 7.0, incuding of course devices he does not even own. He does so with limited resources from Samsung. He is one of the nicest devs as well, not flaming n00bs, genuinely helpful, and is not interested in donations for himself.
He is a true master of Linux and an Android expert. He also develops for may other devices including Tab 7.7 and a Huawei smartphone, I think. He has made our devices literally like new devices, with all of the usual custom ROM goodies.
We should all be honored to have such a wonderful guy at XDA.
Thank You and Happy Holidays everyone.
I want to say thanks to J4N87, Otherwise known as Jan.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=2229548
- I know Neither Jan, nor I live in the US, But I want there to be recognision for this developer!
Jan is a whole new Developer, as such that he has not been a rom developer for long yet.
But the impact this person has had on the rom development scene is gigantic!
The first time I noticed him as a developer was in the days of the first custom roms for the HTC One X.
He (re)made some very great mods for existing roms, such as the Advanced Power Menu and Extended Quick Settings.
Up till then this was not possible in Sense 4.
After a while of addepting his mods for bases and roms he decided it was time for something new, and more challenging.
At that moment his struggle began!
He started to develop his own rom, first alone, but not much later with a small team.
The device he developed the rom for, named Bulbasaur, was the HTC One X.
This first rom was already a breakthrough for sense 4 roms.
A HUGE amount of tweaks was included, some things never seen before were achieved.
And as the rom kept evolving, from Bulbasaur > Ivysaur > Venusaur > Charmender > Charmeleon, more functiosn kept on being added!
The roms were everytime nearly bugfree and every bug that was present would be fixed in no time!
The only complaint that kept coming back for Team PKMN, was that their name was to "childish"
Now I must make a footnote here: I really liked the PKMN name, and the "EvolutioN" idea!
But.. as always ..a great transition could not be prevented..
And Finally after a LONG wait (well, everyday waiting is long), Team Pkmn, rebranded to Team Venom and release their new ViperX Rom.
Again flabbergasting all their users, they actually managed to find some new features to implement, never seen before features on a custom sense rom!
They implemented an OTA update system which integrated PERFECTLY with the standard HTC OTA update system.
They implemented a theme engine, not only for the taskbar, but also for all sense icons, and SO much more.
And who can forget the AWESOME Venom Hub in which all these resources can be shared and downloaded!
Since then the ViperX rom has evolved with more tweaks, more skins and more awesomeness with every updated!
Ofcourse other forums noticed the awesome development for the One X..
And more and more wnated a taste of this sweet, sweet venom..
The Venom team kept expanding and today 14 devices are supported by the Viper team:
Sensation, One X, One XL, One S, Saga, Desire HD, Vivo w, Vivo, Evo LTE, Inc 4G, Vision, Rezound, and both Evo 3D's!
I have tested this rom myself on the One X, One S, Sensation and Desire Z and everytime I am astounded by the quality.
So I really want to say thanks Jan! Thanks for this awesome development!
Besides his development Jan also is a very calm and patient helper in his thread.
Even when a question ahs been answered a thousand times, he answers it again, calmly.
And I think most important, he also takes time for his (Soon to be) Wife...
P.S. I know most people will write about devs like Football, Xoom and Amarullz.. and I don't want to deny them any time in the spotlight, but I think J4N87 deserves the spotlight for once!
P.P.S Thank Jan on twitter -> https://twitter.com/j4n87
Happy Thanksgiving
My Favorite Dev have to be Mazda for my EVO 4G. I can see myself following his ROMs for a very long time. And that is refreshing because too many developers nowadays happen to be over and done with in a day or two and then left to rot in the shelves.
Thank You
Morfic, he makes good kernel... What he does is different from others. He don't rush to release a kernel, what he did is test it for few weeks, tweak that and only release that.
He is a really responsible developer out there. Willing to fix those big and share his experience with users. I'm sure he is a great developer!
I'd like to thank bruce2728 for his awesome jelly bean ROM for HTC sensation. It had led to the best experience my phone.
This is his ROM thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1782009
I would have to say the developer I am most thankful for is Mijjah74. Mijjah has been a theming and deving genius since before I ever even came around on XDA. Mijjah took the time to help me as a lowly Junior Member and teach me how to run a LogCat, allowed me to leech off of him and glean as much knowledge as I could, helped me on my own development projects, taught me the basics of Dev Work, made me an official part of his team he even hooked me up with AndroidFileHost who now hosts my website. And the awesomest part? Its not just me he helps! He helps everybody he can!
Not only is Mijjah an awesome developer/themer/all-around-cool-guy, he also has become a good friend and someone I can count on. He has created an extremely loyal following and supports multiple ROM's on multiple devices.
If anyone deserves a free Nexus 7 it's him!
And I wouldn't say no to one either...
EDIT: Oh and it's his birthday today so that should be an extra point in his favor.

HTC hit us Inspire 4G and Desire HD users with the news that ICS will not in fact be on our devices. We petitioned, whined, and I believe one of the other community members actually cried on the forum... All was lost and we would have to sink into the GB oblivion... until our faithful devs squeezed out droplets of the ICS goodness into our devices... but one developer took it further... beyond all of our collective imagination... Randomblame created Jellytime... JB ON OUR DESIREHD/INSPIRE4G! With this amazing dev at work, there was pretty much an update each week (still going!). Our Inspire4Gs/DesireHDs are blazing fast. On behalf of the Inspire4G/DesireHD users, I would like to thank Randomblame for his amazing contributions to our community with supplying us a big finger to HTC. BTW here's his link http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=1776875
I would thank cb22 for his project to make ArchLinux running on TF300; now I can use it instead of my netbook
would have to be
Rom > ARHD - Mike1986
Kernel > Faux123
I would like to thank clemsyn for his help. I am ASUS TF700 user, and there was a problem with power of the device. I asked him to help our TF700 community, and he has made us great kernel with CPU and GPU overclock, and he did it developer style, for free.
Superkid. He develops for the Desire S, which isn't a very popular device. He was the first person to get an AOSP ROM (CM7) on our device, and eventually got it official CM support. He was the first to port MIUI to the device, and later joined MIUI.us, and helped port MIUI to a ton of devices. He was the first to get ICS on our device, and worked along with m-deejay to fix the million issues encountered. He was the first to get Jellybean (4.1) for our device. Since HTC didn't really release ICS even when JB was out, he had to work with the Andromadus team to get kernel 3 on our device, which gave performance a SERIOUS boost, sorted most of the bugs on JB, and actually made sense of project butter. This was an exceptional task, and really took a lot of skill. I don't have enough adjectives to describe how grateful I am for all his work I'm sure he would be working on 4.2, continuing his streak of 'firsts' if he wasn't with the army right now, but real life always comes first
Considering I have chosen only Samsung devices (and most of them being the international versions) I would not have enjoyed them nearly as much without the contributions of recognized developer Entropy. Seriously, that guy is everywhere and always looking out for new devices. I heard this might not be the case with my most recent Galaxy Note II purchase, but I wouldn't have enjoyed my original Note or my AT&T GSII nearly as much. Thanks Entropy!
I would have to say Gokhan Moral. The discovery of siyah kernel changed the way I think about flashing. I didnt know anything about rooting or modded roms and when I started reading about it I stumbled on siyah kernel. The stuff developers can do with code is pure magic and visiting Gokhans website has become part of my daily routine. Thank you all devs.

I second this for you.
This question is a little like asking if you like breathing better than sex. How do you choose? I've gotta choose notta for such a wide range of development and on such a cutting edge. Paranoid Android is absolutely amazing. And like many developers here it was started even though he didn't have his own HTC Evo4GLTE to work on. I would be amiss without thanking XDA for hosting and maintaining this site and encouraging this community. I will always be grateful for all the hard work and dedication to share with everyone the efforts of such talented developers.

I thank you Zohaib0001 for the wonderful ROM Xperia T style for my Arc S.
He had a new life since I put it.
And then thank the philosophy of this forum: "Who knows more, teach. Who knows less, learns". Simple. Light. Wonderful.
