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.

Yeah they most definitely will be once/if they are able to purchase the phone(s).
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.

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!

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.

Ok guys, It's that time again. Time to help a great dev get a Thunderbolt so we can continue to enjoy a wild variation of Roms and Themes.
@Drod2169, former and current dev on the Droid X and Samsung Fascinate (and broke ass college student lol) could use a little help raising the funds for a dev phone. Anyone who knows him, knows he has a real passion for android and dedicates A TON of time to it. You can rest assured your money is going to a great person in the android community. His work is always top notch and I can assure you it'll be worth a few bucks to throw in the pot. Ask any current or former Droid X & Fascinate user, Drod does not disappoint.
A few notes
-This was not his idea, he wouldnt ever ask.
-No one is demanding you give him money, if you have something against it, move along. No hater comments please.
NO one here is begging, it just gives us more Rom options, which is ALWAYS a great thing.
-You can verify the donation link by talking to @Drod2169 HERE on Twitter or E-mail him @ [email protected]
The Thunderbolt has a bright future with all this upcoming dev support, so throw in a few dollars and lets get the ball rolling!
Thanks to everyone who has/will donate.
And to everyone who doesnt donate, but you know you will still use Drods rom..... Come on guys Every little bit helps!
Thanks for your time.
Here is the VERIFIED donation link Any and all others are fake. Please use this one
Do it! You'll be glad! Good friend and great developer!

Couldnt agree more. He is as great of a guy as he is a developer.
Just wanted to verify for you guys that it is my donation link. Thanks guys
Don't have the Thunder Bolt, don't plan on it, but I sent a small token his way cause I love rubiX for the Droid X, drod rocks and so does rubiX! Without devs like drod and others, smartphones would be boring lol
Do I have to do this by myself?
I wish I could but I am a broke ass college student myself... lol Donate to Drod so all of us moving on to the T-Bolt can continue to see awesome dev work! If I wasn't giving my X to the GF I would part some of the sale profits to this effort.
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
Sent from my G2x
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.

id say only people that donate to him can use the pre released beta/alpha kernels he makes....
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

Count me in, not only is he a great kernel developer but he's a real good guy.
Yes he is a great dev. I'll set up a fund somewhere, let me see what i can do. Might not get to this tonight but i will get to it. I have been talking to him all day today and he is a great guy. Just for the record I will probably be throwing in 50 bucks myself.
I would like to ask you people if you have time, can you try to help spread the word?

In terms of a fund, why don't you have one of the mods here hold onto it. Mikey1022 and Ryanmo5 are good guys. That way people knew it was going to the right cause Just a thought

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.
Man I gotta say that I am VERY proud to be part of the captivate community. We have alot of wonderful devs and determined people here! With CM7 and MIUI maturing to a rather stable usable state, and I9000 sourced 2.3.3 roms chugging away, things are just getting better and better here all the time :].
Ditto.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App
I love how active and changing it is. It seems like every developer here is always hard at work to perfect and update their work, something other phone communities don't seem quite so set on doing. I only wish I had enough programming experience to contribute more than downloading, enjoying and reporting the occasional bug, because the more bustling the better.

You can help them out in the forums, if someone asks a question you know the answer to answer it, the devs really appreciate not having to micro manage the thread and while they are busy with rom updates. That is what I did to help out, I'm now a member of team phoenix because of it.
Yeah if it weren't for the overwhelming community support this phone would be utter crap. Thanks to the devs we are all here.
yeah True, I wouldnt have liked my captivate so much if it wasnt for this amazing community, thank you guys so much
I hope to contribute in future, trying to learn eclipse...
Im proud as well. I have had my cappy since launch and its so cool to see how this community has grown, and the support from the chefs is great. Im always up-talking this forum to other owners that i meet that dont know the actual ability this phone has.
Now if it only was a light sabor too....
Same boat as broke ass college student so I do what I can with answering questions too.
I got my Captivate at the beginning of the year and I still flash ROMS updates as much today as when I first got it. Its because of all the choices that we have as well as updates (still can't believe we are able to run Gingerbread) that makes this phone great.
If and when I am ready to upgrade to my next phone, looking at the XDA development for the phone is going to sway my decision.

Can't be that broke if you can afford a captivate and beer. Heh
I gotta say I agree, most the people here are to cool. I haven't asked alot of question because I've taken the advice I've seen many times and read read read lol. But when I have asked I got quick responses and never a hard time for asking. So now I try to answer any questions I know the answer to so I can say I contributed somehow. I'm glad I can be a part of the community

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.

+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

Hi I would just like to thank everyone that has helped me on this forum the Samsung Galaxy S 4G has been my first very phone and when I got it I already knew what I wanted to do with it which was install a custom rom but didn't know much about the procedures and had a lot of help from the community here at XDA. I am kind of sad that I will be returning this phone back to the Tmobile retailer because I will be missing all of you guys that are so helpful to me and everyone else, but also happy that I will be getting a newer phone (having the SGS4G for under a month). Reasons I am returning is because currently I pay a overpriced plan for features I barely even use so will be getting a cheaper plan and buying a phone by itself, for whatever phone I will be getting I can at least hope that community will be half as helpful as the members on this section!
I like to especially thank some people who have really took the time to help me out.
The first guy that helped me with rooting and such is Fbis251!
I received a very great if not the most help from thomas.raines, a lot of other people I like to thank too are dsexton702, JuLes' MostWanted, DnickDominic, RaverX3X, lumin30, and Im sure I'm missing a lot of people!!!
Shout out to Raver's miui rom never got to try that but man the preview screenshots look sexy!! Also was waiting on airfluip's 4.0 version but I am sure the wait is worth it guys will be amazing as well!
THANKS GUYS!! I KNOW THIS THREAD IS NOT NECESSARY I READ SOMEWHERE ELSE BUT I JUST WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW I AM THANKFUL AND I KNOW THE DEVS WILL KEEP ON BRINGING US MORE AMAZING STUFF THANK YOU DEVS!!!
I just like ti say im keeping my phone my plan now is 20 dollars and my phone cost me 320.
