Hey guys,
I have a quick question: Do you know of any good sponsoring sites?
I'm asking because my PC gave up it's ghost, which forces me to stop development, which I don't want to do, as I've got the Universal Android Toolkit still in Beta and I've still got to work on my Boot Animation Creator - Both of which take a great deal of time.
I've tried GoFundMe.com (See description), but I haven't managed to get any attention, I don't exactly know why, I'm guessing it's because not many are interested in my programs or people just think I'm stupid. :laugh:
Anyways, I hope you guys can help me.
Thanks
There's no difference between these crowd funding sites if you can't get people to donate in the first place

Nothing, he's leaving XDA but he will be on the BAMF forums from what I've read.
Any link to bamf forum? I tried Google but no luck.

I said this in the Inc forums, I don't know what's making him leave here to go to some dinky forum.
It's the new cool kid hang out, duh
Maybe he, like others, has grown tired of the attitudes here. Xda is not the end all be all of forums, nor is it the entire android community. Perhaps he felt it was more conductive to the development of his roms to move to a forum where they do not allow things to be named after drugs and heinous crimes while banning people over mentioning god.

I find it so ironic when ppl talked smack about one dev "taking his toys (roms) & leaving the playground" and then another dev left xda with a device that was obtained with the help of xda donations. Sure, once you buy something you can do what you want with it, but that is quite literally "taking your toys & leaving the playground". I would have been so pissed if I had contributed to that.

Was it done so that he could dev for the thunderbolt or dev strictly for Xda. If the first, well he is doing that, simply on a site he has more control over

Just cause they left xda does not mean they stopped their work, is it oh so difficult to subscribe to their private forum? Or does it have to do with the fact most of the people here feel they are entitled to have it the way they want it or not at all, our are you just that lazy? Dam 1500 people havd followed them already, just like chingy had every right to do what he did, just because you want it your way doesn't mean you are gonna get it.

As I said, once you buy something it's yours to do what you want with. Yes, you can find the dev elsewhere, and one can only assume he will continue developing for a device that was at least partially funded with donation money. But it's the principle of it all. Donations to devs *after* a software project has been released is one thing. Donations to a dev with the stated purpose of obtaining a device -- and the implied expectation of developing for the donating user base -- is quite a different matter. Maybe I'm the only one who sees it this way, but if I had donated to help buy a phone for someone & they left that forum, I would feel used & abandoned, and proly a little resentful.
Just sayin'

This is a bit ridiculous. Where in the bounty thread did it say all ROMs/mods you develop for the Thunderbolt are to be exclusively released on XDA?
He is still working and if you are running a sense ROM right now then you are probably using at least one of his mods right now.
Just wait a bit and see what he has in store, and chill out about where the files will be released.

Generally when you advertise on a website for donations, you give that website the benefit of the doubt with your release/loyalty.
But no, just ask for donations through a proxy then leave the site.
I'm very much grateful for all devs here and I don't use anything besides xda its the greatest site in the world to me honesty to God i'm not trying to bash anyone just looking for more outlets if I offended anybody that was not my intention and I would not ask anybody to work fOr free
I would most def donate again I do apologize if I came off wrong
I would not have to make another thread if LasT was not locked don't be so harsh let people get there point across that was kind of jumping the gun freedom of speech is not so free huh lol anyway no harm intended everyone I apologize very ruff day much love to xda and each and every dev

I just read your posts in the locked thread and to me it just seems like you were just venting. You are apologizing in this thread so that shows you do care and that you don't want to piss anyone off. Your alright, just watch the venting because none of us can see peoples emotions and we just go by words. I run my mouth half the time on here but im always joking and people more than likely don't get it because it just words on here. I'm sure you won't let this happen again.

Hi everyone,
I'm here to introduce a new site that will hopefully help Android grow.
I have created Android Ideas (android-ideas.com) as a place where users can post their ideas, and developers can make them come true!
I have had some ideas in the past, but have not been able to bring them to Android, as I'm not a developer (like most people). The site is here so developers can come and read other users ideas and build the app/theme/mod into android.
All the user has to do is sign up and post the idea, I will then do the rest. The developer can come a long and look through the ideas without signing up. Developers can also follow @Android_Ideas on twitter for the latest idea posts!
I have started the ball rolling by posting a couple of ideas myself! Please post yours to help the site grow!!
If you would like to use the above banner in a signiture (but smaller), please copy this;
HTML:
[URL="http://www.android-ideas.com"][IMG]http://www.android-ideas.com/images/AI-Logo-small.png[/IMG][/URL]
You're welcome to put "user of" or something like that!
Any questions, please ask...
Thanks, Matt
reservered
Spread the word

Hey all, I have created a new site called the Andy Student Handbook(or ASH), which is basically the hub for all high school and college android fans, enthusiasts, devs, etc. Its really great, check it out please. If you want very specific details on what ASH is and does, check out the site! I have an introduction article that will give the gist of what it is all about. Also, if you want to become an article writer for ASH, please follow the instructions provided in order to "apply", I can only accept a limited number of writers at the moment (maybe two or three) but as the site's traffic increases, so will the number of needed writers. So, if I can't accept you now, tell every android enthusiast you know to visit (even though the site is targeting the high school and college population, my articles can still very well offer great advice to anyone), and you never know, a spot may just so happen to slide into place! Without further ado, check my site out
P.S. - If the template changes, I am simply changing things up, dont freak out lol

I applaud your idea and the work you put in already - I think this is a great idea - I spent a little time reading today and learned some things in the process - best of luck - I will be looking for new articles and can't wait to see what you plan for the future - great stuff.
Man this is good I was reading a lot of them then was mad because there where no more articles I will be watching it like a hawk ^_^

Sorry for the lack of updates guys, sad thing about being able to relate to this site is the fact that as a high schooler, I have finals this week, and have been tirelessly studying for the last 2 or 3 wks lol, sorry again.!

There was one early on by Mr Hyde which I installed and have been using ever since. That was discontinued about a year ago though. Was just wondering if there's been any development since.
See...there's hardly any way to get answers here,,, I mean thank God for the geniuses touching down to earth ever so often with there brilliant work but then they flutter back into their bong smoke filled dens to game on or whatever other strange itch they're wanting to scratch at that particular moment...lol. but answers for the old folks....hehehe not a chance!

I like you shakatu. you've got a sense of humor I can relate with. :good:
Yeah, I can be a little sarcastic. But he DID say people like me used to be super active then disappear to play video games and aren't helpful anymore. Not that we have a life and are actually, you know, devoting 12+ hours a day sometimes 6 days a week to working full time and advancing our education...

Uh,,,,, that would be a NO then.because none of those lead to a working Rom or a working anything for that matter,,, development for this particular device is dead......that was why I made my remark...because most of you guys go to great links to impress yourselves but add very little to helping any of us that aren't as savvy,,,,, that's pretty cool animation but I see you really haven't followed any of those links in that real cool way to say nothing.....

C'mon man, don't be a troll. There are very few owners/users of your particular tab. Which is why there is little development for it. Have you seen Shakatus contributions to the community of P51xx.Take a look for yourself, and then try spouting off. If he, or any other, of the great devs around here actually had one of your models, maybe they may be able to figure something out. But, he doesn't. So he wont. Unless of course you want to send him yours to try, but I can guess the answer to that. Bashing people around here for problems that you are having (or unwilling to do anything about, except lean on others ie: learn something for yourself) is unacceptable and will be reported. No trolls allowed......next!
I wasn't trying to be crass....I will be happy to donate or whatever in order to advance the work on this model....but there's no current anything for this device.....I've ran down every link and thread trying to find anything useful to break VZW's hold on this device, so it's not a matter of not researching or being lazy....my apologies.
