As a first time Android device owner who likes to tinker, I search/read MANY forums. This sub-forum is THE pinnacle of learning for me. This place has the top tier crazy-smart code monkeys who are generous enough to take their time and share their knowledge all while asking for very little or nothing.
Suggestion for all my co-noobs: Support these people! Make the little suggested donations. Without them we would have slower, and much less (fun)ctional phones. And we would also probably still be frustrated contributors to the empires of Bill & Steve.
I wish i could report these posts without actually having to open and read them...
I'm with you.
Why this thread is most likely in the wrong place. I'm with you. The community around here is great. Most of the threads are really well detailed and most people here are very generous and willing to help others. For a first time Android owner like myself who came in with no knowledge whatsoever, this forum help me get my phone just the way I want it within just a couple of days. I really want to say thanks as well.
Report it? That is a little HARSH ....
Maybe suggest to the OP that he request it be moved to general .....
to the OP, I do agree with you, the devs here are great, most do it for fun and respect but the occasional donation could not hurt ......
Moving it to general now. But thumbs up on the post! Developers do take a lot of their free time to provide us with nice modifications.
reporting is harsh... unfortunately we only have one mod, who happened to be on the ball tonight.. (+1 sombionix)..
Ill do whatever I can do to help keep this section clean.. this is how I was told I could contribute....

Really? A guy stops to express appreciation and urge others to donate to the developers and this is your response? You cry like a little *****?
Wahhh! I wanna report him! Wahhh!
All that because you felt my thanks was posted in the wrong place???? The devs were who I wanted to thank, so that's where I addressed it, period. There was really no need for you to send the ship into Warp 7 Drama Queen Mode.
I've read about a hundred+ of your posts. I know you're a big contributor & like I said, I'm grateful for the education where I am lacking it. So let me return the favor and educate you in an area where you are lacking:
Act like a man and have some class.
Don't be some arrogant little punk. Treat people the same way you would if you were face to face, as opposed to safely ensconsed in the wired, anonymous rapture of your mommie's basement.
Get some freakin' balls dude.
You don't stop in the middle of a busy intersection to thank the construction workers installing the light...
Read the rules for the forum.... the forum mod moved the thread just as fast as I reported it...

These really are pointless threads. Show your thanks by taking your own advice.
Gonna keep it simple, folks. This thread is ONLY for Toast and Shinzul to share their progress updates on Wimax development for CM, with the community. Nothing more.
ABSOLUTELY NO DONATIONS, BOUNTIES, BRIBES, EXTORTIONS, RACKETS, PLEDGES, PROMISES, OFFERS, GIFTS, AND/OR SEXUAL FAVORS.
If this isn't allowed, then feel free to remove it. Won't hurt my feelings nor will I lose sleep over it.
Thank You.

Drmacinyasha has created an awesome page where we can keep track of twits posted by toast, cyanogen and shinzul. Great way for those that don't have Twitter, to.keep up with their twits. As usual, we can still discuss the progress in this thread.

+1 this is what we should have had all along. Nothing to argue about. Everyone wants shinzul and toast to succeed at this.
Progress Report
So, what is the status?
"Shinzul Wimax status: well I tested the alpha successfully but our other testers aren't seeing the same results... @toastcfh is working on it"
This was shinzul's last official twitter update regarding development. The last thing he mentioned in the deleted post was that he was going to take a break (well-deserved) until Monday. I'm sure the whole group has been playing with it though. We'll definitely hear something come Monday.

Or. People could just look st Toast's and Shinzul's Twitter pages so they aren't hassled with coming here to give impatient people status updates twice by typing it on Twitter and here.
Now if you, Hondacop, want to copy and paste status updates on here for the people too lazy to look on Twitter, then go ahead. But I don't see his anyone can expect this kind of thing from them.
Obviously they will let this thread stay open because the moderators are keeping things clean
its all good, figured i would needle you a little. i personally hope that this can stay open and the trolls will return to whatever it is trolls do in real life ** meter cops ** but i doubt it. wimax for the community by the community is exciting and i hope its implemented Evo wide sense included

OK to be as discrete as possible:
Both Toast and Shin have links in their sigs that we can use so there's no reason to
ask questions about a donate link.
As for confirmation numbers ... they also have PMs, so we can use those.
Now for calling a person who posts his confirmation number a troll: Some of us are men of our word ... so if you want to consider reinforcement of our commitment as "trolling" ... that's your problem, and I suggest some serious self evaluation.
the wimax thread was restored, its closed though

Will do that, thx.
I got an idea...
http://twitter.com/#!/shinzul
http://twitter.com/#!/toastcfh
^ News updates on wimax ^
There there are no rules, no talking back, no arguments. It's a one way street. Just information.
When the public alpha is eventually I'm sure toastcf or shinzul will make a thread for reporting issues and receiving feedback. At this point in development, feedback isn't really necessary.

Good point....I would just leave this alone and let Toast start a thread when the alpha becomes available. Then if people want to donate they can provide a link in their signature. Also he has the power to delete posts to keep the thread on track. If you want updates join twitter. That's how cyanogen does it.

Agreed. If the devs working on this wanted/needed a thread, they would surely start one.
Hey folks, enjoy:
https://twitter.com/#!/CMWiMax
http://www.DoesCyanogenModHaveWiMaxYet.com/
Guys relax, HondaCop is not saying you are not allowed to donate to toast and shinzul. He is saying that this thread is not an appropriate place to discuss said donation.
Firstly, why should person A care if person B gave money to person C?
Secondly, that was (arguably) one of the reasons the thread got deleted/locked.
This is simply a place that he was hoping they would come to post things for us non-twitter folks. Personally I don't like twitter either and can't really understand programming lingo used so having a laymans' version would be nice. Granted this sounds like it's simply going to be a "when we have it we have it" deal.
Of course my sense of caring is quite slim as I have to drive a half hour to get 4g, I am much more interested in full HDMI output.
hah, i like how again my seemingly within bounds posts are being deleted and no explination great!
Maybe if we pm each other a secret word instead of "wimax" we could hide it from... ugh never mind.. j/k
Just check ed out bonsai website and it seems that people who donate will have early updates than people who didn't donate that is the same move hero did and he was criticized ( mind u before he got banned he had the same policy ) I dont critic either party because I would do the same I just think is unfair that hero got banned for the same thing these people are doing
Hero repeatedly violated the GPL. Bonsai linked to an external website for downloads. They're both against XDA rules - but GPL violations are a serious matter that can lead to (successful - Google it) civil suits. You don't want that. XDA doesn't want that.
Herver is a child. The Bonsai team made a mistake, and have been good devs that have contributed to the overall operation of our devices. They've worked to expand the community and have happily worked with devs even from other teams. To compare them with Herver is disgusting.
Let the mods handle their business
Threads like this DO NOT help the community AT ALL
I hope the Bonsai dev team and XDA can settle their differences, they're a great group and Bonsai4All is great software.
I just wish Bonsai 4.0 would update the modem too like 3.0 did. Not sure why they took out that feature, I really don't want to Odin flash it.

The modem update in 3.0 was based on the availability of modem_delta.bin, which comes from the OTA. Until that's available, it can't be done.
Thank you for not Banning the Bonsai Team!!!!!

Thread closed. This thread is not needed. If you have a question about anything XDA, (rules, reason for punishment) PM a mod, do not post threads in the public domain. Thank you.
The following is crossposted from the midNIGHT ROM threads.
I'm not sure if Rob posted anywhere here yet, but as per his Twitter feed, he's having to make some sacrifices as a parent and is selling his Epic and extras on eBay. Unfortunately, this also means that he will no longer be developing for right now.
On behalf of myself, all of ACS, and the userbase at large, I'd like to thank Rob (ptfdmedic) for everything he's contributed to the Epic community, and all of the time and effort he's put in, in his already busy schedule and hectic life. Our very best wishes are with he and his family.
I and ACS fully support Rob's mission to spread autism awareness. I would like to encourage everyone who has not yet added an awareness banner to your signature to do so now, whether Rob's version, or the version in my signature, by ZHkilla.
But don't just toss up a banner and call it a day - if Rob has taught us anything, it's that autism is a disease that we the public really must understand better. Read the Wikipedia article, read Rob's blog, and keep in mind the challenges that parents of autistic children, and autistic individuals themselves face. Understand that those on the spectrum are people first and foremost, and that while they may be a little different, they deserve all the respect that any decent human beings deserve.
Once again, thank you Rob, for your generous donation of time and effort to making our phones run better, making this community more harmonious, and raising autism awareness. I didn't mean to steal your thunder if you were planning on making an announcement here as well as Twitter... but I wanted to say a few words anyway.
+1000...Thank you!
Thank's Rob.
Rob, thank you for everything you have done here for all of us and for always doing it with class and a huge heart. All the best to you and your family.
I read your blog a while back on The Man with Bare Hands and it really touched me. I never got around to posting a banner but will do so when I get home tonight. Best wishes.
Man that really sucks. I don't post here often but I check in on xda every time I have a free minute. You guys are all great at developing but ptfmedic has always stood out to me not just because of his roms but because he always seems to be very helpful and very patient with the questions around here. Genuinely seems like a great guy. I have also followed his blog on many occasions and yes a lot of it is vey touching. If he has to go I'm sure he will be missed by many.
My question is (without knowing any details about his situation) Is there enough members in the Epic forums to make a one time say $5 or $10 donation to a save ptfmedics Epic fund. Seems like he goes through a lot on a daily basis and that phone could be his only outlet. I hope I am not out of line even suggesting this but I hate to see such a valued member of this community have to leave.

THANK YOU
Thanks, k0nane
I also started the same type of thread over at ppcgeeks as well.
If k0nane still needs a phone maybe everyone could donate to a "buy Rob's phone for him" fund and kill two birds with one stone.

Read his blog. It will give you a huge insight into his life and the daily battles he goes through. I've been lucky enough to be on his beta test team since version 2.6. In that time I got to know him as a person and not just as a member of the forums and rom chef, and for that I feel like I've been very lucky.
Thank you Rob.
Rob... your a really inspiring guy, you like too please everyone and use your free time to do this for us when you already do so much for your family... I never knew much about autism untill you opened my eyes and when I read your blog I see how much stress you go through and your about the nicest guy I've talked to... hope to see you around when you can get a new phone, thanks for all the work you've done for this community (this post probably doesn't have that great grammar, sorry)

sorry for my bad english...
some are just not mature enough to learn "Respect" and dev's also a human who need to have a life too.
i just dont get it.... why is so many people wnt to get their thing but without any greatfulnes and keep pushing the devs ...I hope DX will return for us ...i love his work so much -.-.....
+1 respect the devs, people are starting to make threads about saying to the devs to hurry up with there work. be patient, if you want a rom at your own time, they you should try making a rom.
Just look in the "how old are you" topic. It explains everything about that rude behaviour that broke out in some topic. 90% of the people are less than 18 years old here, no wonder that the x8 threads are dying because of some unbelievably stupid men who don't even realize what should go on here... Naturally, respect for the other forumers of course. I myself got ashamed because of some ppl. Argh, I'm a littlebit angry now...

DX, Racth, FXP, KuyaGaol, Indonesian Devs they are still developing/cooking ROMs because it is there passion or hobby. But not anymore here in XDA. People who tried to help in the development will more likely get an update to there ROMs. The reason why respect never exist on some people its because of there selfishness they are full of mouths and idea but intelectually incapacitated so there obsessions make them push dev as if they paid them.

While it is nice to know that doixanh may be continuing developing GingerDX inside his Indonesian community I find it very discomforting that we now have to jump through an array of hoops to _maybe_ get an update for the ROM - thanks to unthankful, and highly disgusting, ill mannered kids who should actually be forbidden to run wild as they please on the Internet (and also thanks to moderators who fail their job to have a look at what's going on and enforcing rules at misbehaviour).
While I switched to the SGS Galaxy S2 as my main phone now I will actually keep the X8 because I had to buy the new phone with a brand new SIM therefore new phone number, so I would be interested in ROM updates if there will be any.

You have no idea how right you are, Asycid. You have my deep sincere sympathy - I actually feel highly ashamed about the display of epically ill mannered behaviour which took place - and I actually detest the people involved in the bust up for driving one of the best developers away from here.
But then, they got what they asked for. I understand doixanh's decision perfectly ... he simply doesn't need to put up with it as he simply didn't deserve being insulted by a bunch of np-brainers.
Anyway, I think it was all for the better. They wrecked the experience for their phones themselves - I just hope they lack the allowance to move on to other, better, devices so they can't continue their quest to wreck this place.
simple (for me)
RESPECT = just shut up and hit THANKS or DONATE for devs who make our device better
