ROM Manager (Premium) - Fascinate General

I downloaded the premium version of this and there is nothing to justify paying 4.99 for it. Am I just blind or am I missing something?

It's called developer support, and it's the reason you aren't using a bloatware infested bing machine.

I wasn't trying to be a jerk about it. But it doesn't say it's just for donate. It makes sound like there is more content for premium users. It could of said it on the description for donate only. I would have just donated to the cause. It just sounds misleading to me.

Not to be a **** here but how do you like the lack of ads? That's always nice. Granted there are ways to get rid of ads without doing a premium license but again..it helps out to have donations.

Well the ads don't bother me cause I know how ignore things. It's not like they are jumping right in the way when I open an app.

I actually tried to turn ads back on. Something must be blocking them? Not my intention.
Still I think the OP had a relevant post. Buy the premium version as support, then delete it.
It would be nifty if koush made the premium version be a widget.. Maybe it would announce new updates or something, once a day.

The premium version is ad-less and checks for ROM updates. As stated, it's primarily for supporting the developer and you get a small bonus. As a buyer of any product though, you should be aware or what you're getting before you purchase. I'm sorry it didn't turn out as you expected.

I think the OP has a very fair point. Most devices' ROMs are separated so there are a few free ROMs (usually the most popular ones) you can download with the free version of ROM Manager while the rest are categorized as "Premium". You need the Premium version of the app to download those. At least, to download them through the app -- you can always just download ROMs on your computer and transfer them, so you're mostly just paying for convenience.
Obviously, on the Fascinate, that isn't the case though, which is a bit odd because Koush (the developer) doesn't advertise the premium version as "developer support" but as something with extra features -- first and foremost "Premium ROMs." My guess, and this is purely a guess, is that all our ROMs are free simply because there are so few of them available. Most devices have a ton of different ROMs available so it's easier to tease a few free ones and keep the rest for Premium.
And it's also worth pointing out that Koush has made between $175,000 and $875,000 off of the premium version of the app (the market only tells us "50,000-250,000 sales"). So, while it's great to support developers, I'd say that if you have a Fascinate, until we benefit from the Premium features, you might consider donating to one of our resident developers instead. I'm sure Koush would appreciate your money, but we all know that the Fascinate developers are not making anything like the small fortune Koush is.

Theres a whole lot of toolboxing going on in this thread. Do you use the software? Then party for it. If people stop buying "premium" products because free does similar, that encourages dev's to strip functionality to differentiate their products (ala the -oid emulators). Suck it up and realize that stuff cists money once your parents stop paying for it.

You don't see the ads especially of you're using JT's super clean rom because he has the hosts file edited so that it blocks a lot of the ads.

This is the guy that was working on hdmi out here, before the mods banned him for asking for cash. Also, teamwin isn't working on their own version, they took the release from Sam, added their own tweaks and released under their group. kinda slimey IMO.
I've been playing with his releases and they're quite good, best i've seen yet. The only complaint i have is you have to flash his modified kernel to get it working and i'm too content with my current kernel.

Oh, no. You spoke badly of Teamwin? How dare you? This is blasphemous, slanderous, derogatory and just plain evil. Prepare to be banned for at least 3 days for some BS like "trolling and harassment of others" and then not getting a response from administration when you ask what you did that constitutes this behavior.

Just to add to this. You'll find it under ROM Management then under Nightlies.
It's the .6 build. It appears to still have some Blur in it, like the T9 Dialer, which I'm very happy about.
I don't see a way to change the skin at this time from the Yellow to something else though.
Their app. Learn to google please
Actually they said they'll start releasing it on the forums more promptly as well. The plan is to get v0.6 out today while v0.7 gets into the nightlies.
So you have two options:
- get their toolbox and access to the nightlies as soon as they become available
- or follow the forums and get the builds a few days after they are released in the toolbox

You'll never see this version in that video. It will have keys and certificates and other ways to.identify who it came from. Once the main devs strip that out we might see this if it is legit.
On a second note that is complete garbage, why show us something then never give it to us? Oh wait cause this is a sham. This is why droid x users should stay in their hole.

Fact is P3 is a VERY credible source and he and tbh have been cornerstones for the Moto Droid brand community for a very long time.
Who likes having their credibility questioned? Especially someone who's been responsible for leaks, sbfs and fixing bricked devices for forum members more so than anyone else I can think of.
Were the same video placed here by adryn, jt or another respected Fascinate dev would any of us even have questioned it's validity? I doubt it and lets just be honest...its egos and because he's an "outsider".
IMO we blew this one folks. But the whole thing handled very poorly by all parties. Oh well ****e happens no?

Fact is that if Adryn had posted a video where it appeared as though he intentionally hid the baseband, someone would have at least asked why. I have no doubt his response would've been far more civil than that of p3.
