I saw a thread like this in the Fascinate Forums but could not find one in here.
So here it is. I just wanted to say Thank you to all the developers out there making these great mods for our phones. I have finally been able to get my mesmerize to perform the way I feel it should with the Kernels and ROM's found on XDA. I am a pretty tech savvy guy but android was completely new to me. With the well written walk throughs and very well designed/written ROM's and Kernels. I was able to do everything I wanted to without a single issue.
All in all. Great work guys. I look forward to the future of android and all the great Mods,ROM's, and Kernels that come with it.
I second that.
Thanks
Kind of a pointless thread, if you want to thank them there is a button for that. Or donate to them or something.

Its been awhile since I've been on forums. Must have missed the button. I do intend on donating as well.

Hey Mates.
As some of you might know, im a developer for the T-Mobile Galaxy S II Which has lots of things that this phone has which means i could do alot of work for this phone. Mods could be easier to port since this phones only has few differences.
If you want to see my work go to the T-Mobile Galaxy S II forums and you will see my ROM which is always the first on the list. I was a dev for the Sensation 4G also, Well Mytouch 4G and Vibrant 3G also.
I would love to develop for this device since i've deved for T-Mobile only. The only thing is that i don't have a penny to by a device for development. It would be very nice if you guys help me get one if you all are interested in me developing for you all. Theres alot of users here so if you all donate what ever you can, it would help. You are not being forced so if you are not interested don't start commenting here saying bad stuff.
Things i could bring here are.
Custom kernels
My actual ROMs sure
CyanogenMOD 7
ICS maybe when source is out.
Mods as CRT and more stuff you guys like.
Some of my work for you to enjoy seeing. This is The Most recent work.
BeastMOD II From TMO SGSII
BeastMOD S v4 For Sensation
Senseless Extreme for Sensation
Hope you guys can help me get this phone. Thanks! ;-);-)
The more the merrier man.
As i have stated for the Third time......
this is a Hard Yes.
i would like to see a Experianced Dev here to bring these things.
So would I! Lets pool it up! PM me w details

A Donation pool needs to be started and I would bet it takes off. I would definitely donate some and would love to see your work brought here.

Im not getting paid. I said to help me get the phone to dev on. NOT TO GET PAID. Different things. But what ever my man.
I want to see where im violating rules please. You have a link my dear mod? Because this is more likely a bounty thread. This is not a ROM thread with me asking users to donate or better, asking for my payment as you implied. I dont have this device so i thought i would do this since my current phone has some parts as this phone and i could bring my stuff to it. Now mod tell me where i violated the rules. THANKS
I dont see users saying bad things here. All i see is people willing to help me get the phone.
We used donation pools to aquire devices for multiple devs in the Infuse section, no mods ever closed our fund raising thread.
Melvin I recommend setting up a ChipIn, worked great for Infuse Dev Device Donations. Allows people to see the status of the funds needed and shows your contribution at work

So I’ve been seeing posts and threads floating around asking about Dev Support on the SkyRocket. There are two thoughts floating around. The first being that the SkyRocket will not have Dev support like Nexus or any other phone and we may as well give up on Dev Support, the second being that there is Dev Support and people actively working on the device. I tend to agree with the second thought so I wanted to post this up for everyone to think about.
First off we have to remember that Devs are not here to serve us. Most all Devs, regardless of device, do this as a hobby and like to share with others their hard work. Secondly, everyone should contribute SOMETHING to the community. Whether it’s advice on how to do something with our device, or links to good articles, links to deals on accessories or whatever, or if you have experience in development or gfxs or if you like to spread the word on social media. Whatever you want to do, just be a contributor to the community and the forum, I think if we all contribute more and take less, Dev support will grow and so will our community.
I also think it's awesome when people get excited about a ROM or Theme, that excitement gives the Devs postive feedback that helps them get excited. Basically what I am saying is positive feedback is just as important as the complaints and problem feedback. Probably more important, no one wants to be burden with problems constantly. An encouraging word can go a LONG way!
It’s just as important to be PROACTIVE in looking for answers to any questions you may have before you ask in the forums. It’s cool to ask a question but you should always be sure it wasn’t already answered. And be patient until someone can answer your question don’t start demanding answers if your post has only been up for a few hours, give people time to read it and digest it. Again this is just good community etiquette.
I am always available to PM if anyone ever has a question for me, I got no problem trying to help people and I enjoy seeing people figure things out. I do wallpapers, icons, docks and themes for our phones and I am a recognized Theme Dev on RootzWiki. I’m going to do my best to make the SkyRocket forums one of the greatest forums on xda. I’m not saying that to be prideful or boastful because I think we ALL need to do our best to make these forums the best they can be. We can’t just expect Devs to take the load, we got to ALL be proactive if we want good product.
All this being said, I think we have a great community started here. Looking forward to the future with all of you!

Yes YES YES!!!!!!!
this is the Truth<<<<
thanks for this post Mortem
Very well put sir. Thank you
We also have to remember that some of these devs, myself included, have families.
Families should always come first and everyone should understand that, if someone doesn't understand that then that is seriously messed up.
This is one of the reasons I am taking a break from themes, family. I get so obsessed with the theme that my family suffers, my kids don't see me for days. It's just not right. And that is something I have to work on, and that is what I am trying to do. I need to learn to tell peeps here.....yo, I need to take a break I got family that needs me.....and if they understand cool, if not, tough luck.
Wallpapers are not so intensive, I can bang a wall out in no time.....but themes, that's a whole new beast and it is intensive.
At any rate, I am excited to see what our Devs can put out and excited to keep making wallpapers for all you guys that appreciate them.
Oh one more thing. You can never hit the THANKS button too many times. It really is a moral booster to see people appreciate your work. No one here is making money from donations, and hitting the Thanks button is free.
Amen brother.. thanks to all who help this forum rock... after the holidays i might start helping out theme wise. Icons etc.. but too busy til then . And its my busy season at work. Graphics...

Support your devs!!!! Speaking of which, I need to hit our current devs up with a donation each. All this time spent looking to lure new development onboard worries me that the current work is going on unappreciated

I would like to publicly offer my skills to any developer that is currently working on SkyRocket ROMs.
Although at the moment I cannot work on full on themes I can certainly help you in the area of gfxs if need be, depending on what you need of course.
Please let me know if I can assist in anyway, and if it's in my ability I will certainly help.
and feel free to add me to Google Plus if you are there, send me a message and I will add you to my SkyRocket circle.

First, I want to say sorry to Moderator if this off topics, feel free to delete this thread if its look useless or something.
This is a dedicated thread for Vorbeth, he got a problem with his sensation, and his lovely sensation has been broken.
Vorbeth is one of our best developers who dedicated his time for us to developing and fixing bug on CM9.
Hope one of you guys have an idea how to collect the donation and give him, or someone have a broken sensation or want to donate his sensation, come here, we are all a family even i just come here couple months ago, but if you guys come and give a dollar for our sensation its really help him, lets give him an appreciation for his contribution for our community, for his time, dont let him go.
Lets collect the data, who have been donated and how much we got to help him here.
Note: Ive seen the same thread like this on X10 for zdzihu and so much people help him and we can buy him an X10.

I'm reaching out to the infuse community to hopefully track down an infuse that I can use as a dev device. I'm finding it a pain having to reflash back and forth testing out all my kernel changes especially running the risk of bricking it..that's why I'm looking for a cheap(ish) infuse. I'm not going to sit here and ask for a donation device (although that would be nice ) i'm offering to pay for one..it doesn't have to be a perfect condition one or anything because it will be used for development purposes only. Check my signature for my contributions to the phone if you're unsure who I am :good: I'd love to continue to build Slimbean and other ROMS as well, I'd just like a spare phone just in case... Thanks for any help in advance
If you are offering to pay for one, you can look here vice posting. XDA Makes Swappa Its Official Marketplace

Keep an eye on eBay! They're being listed on there practically daily. You can probably bid on one in rough shape and get it for a pence.
Mod edit. As per forum rules no selling via threads.
Members, see my comments a few posts up....
