Anyone?
Umm me?
Me please
Ok just want a answer. What will you use phone for. Will you root etc and join in with the fun.
Hey, I understand that a couple people have already replied, but they haven't told why they'd want it, but personally I'd love an invite, so I can afford to buy a decent phone for college. I'm currently receiving financial aid, so any bit helps! Other than that, I'd definitely love too root and play with the One, since it does seem pretty sweet. Maybe it can help with my drawing classes, since I read the camera is pretty sweet, so it can provide some nice inspiration, surely.
Anyway! If you have any to spare, or if you decide to share your invite with me, I would greatly appreciate it!

All,
I have just received a question via PM and thought that it may best be answered here in the open forum. Mods, pls move thread if it would best be located in another forum. I have posted the original question and my reply... Any thoughts, extra comments or general discussion would be appreciated... The name of the sender has been removed for their privacy...
============================
Hey, thanks for the great advice. I want to donate to some of the developers whose ROMS i have used, but i wasn't sure how much to give...i don't want to give too much, but also don't want to offend by giving too little. Also, i am curious at what point do you feel like u should donate...i didn't think just from trying a ROM i should feel obligated to donate, but if i have used it for a month or so or more than yeah, maybe kickin something down is the thing to do.
So, you think better way to get the keyboard problem addressed is post in the thread for the rom you want fixed, as opposed to creating a new thread asking specifically for it. See, i think some devices maybe don't have that problem (it's an ATT PTT thing?), and so some of the chefs and users aren't getting it...i THINK...or else it just surprises me how it doesn't bother more people more...i guesss maybe i actually use my phone to talk on more than some here

Donations are always a tricky item... I completely understand about the "not enough to much" dilemma... This is how I approach it: You are not purchasing anything, you are donating to a person that shares a common interest as you... To that end, think about a small favor that a friend of yours does for you... What type of thanks would you give that friend...? For my friends, I may buy them a couple beers... I think you see my point... Any donation, is appreciated... I would check on the conversion rate for where the recipient lives, so that they can get a decent donation... I don't think that 5 or 10 of whatever their native currency is, is to much... So, if I wanted to donate approx. 5GBP to someone, it would cost me 10USD... That is enough to buy almost 3 beers in the US, not sure about the UK ratio though... I think you also have a good handle on when you may wish to donate... a month may be a good time to donate to the cook... or however long you take to decide the rom is a keeper...
As for the keyboard fix, the comment should be posted in the thread of the rom where the problem exists... Some roms do not have the problem, it really depends on which base rom the cook used and whether or not they are even aware of the problem to begin with... There are many roms that have the fix already taken care of, and many that do not... It's really a hit or miss, when you find one that you like, you can always ask the cook to repost it with the correct dll cooked in, if you really like the rom, you can always let them know how much you appreciate their work and that a donation may be forthcoming...

hmm
I'd say 10-15 USD is the right donation value and I feel that one should donate if they find that the ROM is perfect for their needs
If you were to donate, i'd say the minimum would be the cost of a pint of beer in your own currency.
a small way to say thanks online.
Moved to General subforum as this isn't really tied to a specific Rom or device.
FWIW, as someone who has both sent & received donations I think that the average is from $5 - $20 depending on what efforts you are supporting, how much value you feel you got from the efforts and finally how deep your pockets are. I've received a few donations that were much higher and it is always appreciated but nobody is trying to live off donations.
In the end it's really something that changes from user to user, project to project, and even month to month as your financial situation may change.

Not just ROMs but all Apps should be considered. There is a whole lot of great creativity in this forum.....
I have to say thnxs to those that shared their thoughts... Hopefully, someone has gained some insight as to how much they should donate, if they feel the urge to do so... I agree, as already stated, that shelling out the amount for a couple beers will always be appreciated, but as mentioned by Kyphur, your financial situation should be the final factor as to how much you want/can donate...
Thanks Debonairone
This was indeed very helpful!

I think it´s no need to pay
XDA-DEVS is a developing community that helps everyone with no other interest, for your at&t fuze aka Raphael try to enter here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=437
And once you have detected the software or app you want ask to the OP to get help. A donation to the developer or to XDA site is more welcome than ofering to pay.
Good luck,
zimzum

Keep the faith ....
True....we are a community built on labours of love, and it is better to donate to the site. My wife has dyslexia, but since she got into playing with PPCs and perusing this site, has become rather adept at modding AND reading. We all will be glad to help, just PM me.
After all, what is a community for?
Hello, I am an active member over on Phish.net, and lately, we have been looking for a developer to help develop a native Phish.net application. This will be a real app under the name Phish.net. Your help and expertise will be greatly appreciated.
I have been on this forum for a couple of months now with my Eris, rooting and all of that, so I said I would give it a try to see if anyone around here is interested. I know that there are a lot of amazing developers on this site.
Peace, and thanks,
Chris
I would love to see this app come to life! I was at the Cleveland show a week and a half ago and it was amazing.
What exactly do you mean by help? Like you need someone to develop it by himself? or that you already have some people working on it, just need more developers?
We are looking for someone to develop it. None of us on the site know how to do it, we just listen to a lot of music and talk about it. Ha...
And yeah man, Phish is great, and the site is amazing too. How long have you been listening to them?

I have been listening to them for years, but have only been to 3 shows. I think I am going to see them in Indy both nights. I am jealous of the iPhone Phish apps, can't wait to see them on Android! I am not a Dev (hardware guy) or I would gladly help out.
I fully approve of this thread!
still on my tp2, really considering an andriod device and probably would have just gone ahead and ordered it today if the phish app was already available with fall tour coming up!
I am sick of just listening the the livephish stream on my phone!
Here is the app I have but would like something better.
zombiesaresexy.com/Zombie_Android_App/App_1/zombiesaresexy.apk
So I started a site called zombiesaresexy.com and have wanted an app for it from day one.
The site is built on Wordpress and I just want a simple app that pulls in the RSS feeds and allows people to read the full post from the app.
I have tried App Inventor for Android but have no luck making heads or tails of it.
If anyone would want to help out (make it and share with me how its done) or just has a good framework for something like this that would be great.
Really, I have seen a lot of people wanting there own App this just pulls in the RSS from there site so I am amazed there is not a framework so people can just plug and play.
But any help would be great!
Thanks!
Ok, is there anyone that would build on for money?
I don't mind paying for it and would nit mind having adds in the app so your could make money that way to.
Send me a pm if you want the job and give me a price.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
There's already tons of apps that can do this, try one of these.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/buzzbox-news-rss-google-reader/com.buzzbox.mob.android.news
http://www.appbrain.com/app/pulse-news-reader/com.alphonso.pulse
Yeah but I am wanting this app to hand out on my site.
How much you willing to pay?
I dont know the time it would take to do this app.
But if its not to hard I will pay $50
If it is something that will take a lot of time and work We can work on the price.
Also to help me keep the cost down I am willing to have the google ads on it. in hopes that who ever makes the app can make a few bucks that way.
Id be glad to help you for free, XDA isn't about paying for service, its about sharing knowledge and helping users
That would be really cool!!
If you check out the .apk I have linked to, I am ok with it being simple as that.
The only things I rally care about is that it has an icon, the app I have now just uses a slandered android icon
And it reading the full post from the app and linking to the post if they want to comment.
There are a few parts to the site.
Main post
stories
video
questions
But all get pulled in with the rss feed
http://zombiesaresexy.com/feed/
So I am not sure if it is just as easy as pulling in the feeds?
Also, I hope to get this on the Android market but it is just something I want to hand out to readers.

If you want to hire a developer to do it, you're probably looking at $1000 or more in the end. $50 doesn't really cut it.
Yeah I got a few quotes and the range was from $700 to $900.
Not really the money I want to spend just for having fun on a site so I thought I would ask here.
If I dont get any where with it I am ok with that and will looking it to making an app on my own latter down the road when I have time to learn what it takes.
But as you can see someone has offered to make me app. So I am happy with that and even tho he said he did not want money for it I will donate something thing.

Really I will pay if someone will make this! I can get it on the market I just need the app made.
Hoping to keep it low and because of that I know it will not look the best. I just want some thing that works.
Thanks

Thanks, I just did.
I am willing to help too.
I have been working on an rss reader. Do you still need it?
hi everyone. i just had a question about donations. i was just wondering what is an "acceptable" donation to a developer that either creates or modifies icons/games/kernels etc. for you. i don't want to insult the developer, but at the same time, i'm unemployed and i'm not exactly rollin' in the money either. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated and thanks to all the developers.
I'm sure donations of all sizes are welcomed. Most people don't bother, which is a shame, so even £1 (Sterling) would be a good start.
I generally go with £10 per donation for the software that i use.
Really depends on how much work he put into it for you.
But as those are donations, not payments.
Anything should really be fine.
I would do something between 5-15$ if you dont have alot.
For me the gesture really counts a lot too. That someone was so thankfull for my work, which he got for free, that he felt like donating something .
Makes me feel happy .
