I believe there are a few advanced features that my be unlocked with Pro, but could be wrong. Otherwise the only other difference is basically is its a donate version.... so in other words, you pay for the app to show your appreciation to stericson for his work....
A lot of devs do a free and donate version. They want their work to be freely available, but give the option to those who are supporters to contribute back for the developers time and effort.

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.

Help Wanted:
I need the help of a photoshop skilled person. It is my habit to always add some flares to my releases. I've made pictures, silly edify scripts, and boot images for pretty much anything I've release. This year I want to keep the tradition, but in a bigger way.
3 projects. 2 open source projects, and one closed source paid project
Each project will involve about 6 images.
1. App Icon
2. Play Market and Github App Icon
3. Play Market Banner Image and Promo Image
4. App Icon stencils (b/w, alternate icon)
The help I need is:
1. What is the average price paid for a free lance artist?
2. Is anyone here a free lance artist?
PM me more details, I can make some icons in my spare time.

Hey Sam.
I am willing to do it too.
I would also consider doing some stuff for you for free, as I am more than I debt with you for your apps (I used to rely pretty heavily on Rom Factory on my atrix days).
I also made the Project Cheesecake app icon and, if you want, you could take a look at my design portfolio. It's in my signature. Cheers!
edit: I guess the xda app doesn't send the forum signature, so here it is.

I just made a suggestion. I myself tried Rox's build of cm12.1 and it's awesome. But official is much more reliable. If we get NFC source then ROM ports will be much easier too. I'm just one guy and know that much about custom ROMs

I don't think Samsung is the one having the sources of the nfc chip. And as for the company of our chip I think it's name has been mentioned on one of the development threads.
