I wanted to take a moment to make a toast to toastcfh. toastcfh is often more of a behind-the-scenes guy, and he seems to prefer it that way. Unfortunately that means he often doesn't get much recognition in this community. Most of us probably don't realize just how much he does for our EVOs and without him, our EVOs wouldn't be nearly as good as they are.
Most early EVO users were able to achieve full root and NAND unlock thanks to toastcfh, even if you didn't know you were using toastcfh's methods. Almost all of the 1, 2, or 3 step processes that we used (e.g. one click root methods) included automated versions of toastcfh's part 2 and let's not forget part 1.
toastcfh is also responsible for most of the kernel work that we see for the EVO. Many Sense users are familiar with netarchy-toastmod. The "toastmod" part is due to our one and only toastcfh.
Anyone running CyanogenMod is using a kernel that toastcfh is largely responsible for maintaining. toastcfh is also responsible for the most of the kernel work that has allowed WiMAX and he laid the groundwork for hardware accelerated HDMI development to take place in CM. No matter which kernel you're using in CM7, you're using some of toastcfh's work.
toastcfh has also been at least partly responsible for the recent rooting and NAND unlocking that's been taking place for the EVO's little brother, the HTC EVO Shift.
In addition to all of this development work that toastcfh does, he also finds time to be moderator of our EVO forums here on XDA (a thankless job to be sure). I'm sure that there are at least a hundred other things that toastcfh has done for us that I'm not aware of. If you know of something that I've missed or toastcfh has helped you out personally, please share your experience.
So please, take a moment with me to raise a glass and post your thanks to our humble toastcfh! If you feel so inclined, please consider a small donation. He'll never ask you for one.
THANK YOU TOASTCFH!!!
i <3 toast

quite possibly the most giving and underappreciated dev i've ever worked with.

This is spot on. He's one of the most dedicated developers I've seen. All the while balancing work and a family. Definitely doesn't get the recognition he deserves.
Toast your are the ****! Don't know where the community would be without you! Much <3!

Yeah toast is a stand up guy. I remember when I first switched to sprint and got my heroc; this guy had been putting in tons of work and is still going strong. Kudos toast

Much respect for you toast, for all the things you did for xda.
toastcfh released the godmode kernel for the HTC EVO, weeks before the HTC EVO was released to the public for sale.
his kernel was the first open source code version which worked on the EVO and was even released before HTC released their official kernel source code!
many custom kernels for the EVO are based of off toastcfh's source code. he has since moved to mainly github releases and is the main kernel maintainer for the cm7 evo kernel. in addition to all his many other endeavours.
he does great work. very reliable and of high quality. it is the only code i trust to put on my phone as he has always been completely open and helpful.
thank you toast. my htc evo experience wouldn't have been as great without you.
Most people who see this thread have or are using all of the above. Donating now! Thanks Toast!
Yeah toastcfh!
<3
Great Post.
I'll definitely give Toast a huge thanks for the work he does! He is a behind the scenes type of guy so he'll prolly blush at this thread =p
Yay for Toast!
I'm gonna name my first born after toast LOL! =) thanks toast!
Thanks Toastcfh! What would we do without you?
Much respect.

is it due to not a lot of people having the phone ? inexperienced devs? even the roms that exist have one thing or another that doesnt function properly...there only seems to be one solid rom for sure and the rest are just ehh...just trying to figure this out im coming from a device that had so many roms i didnt know what to do and on this side theres really only 3 or 4 choices. is this a froyo deal?lack of people with the units or what?
My best guess would be most devs are waiting for froyo to drop since it should be soon.

Its tuff to dev something knowing froyo us coming. I started my theme to be used on my rom but decided not to cook a rom. It well be easy to port my theme for use with froyo. A 2.1 rom ported to 2.2 us hard. It would be easier to start from scratch with a froyo build

Its the same thing that happened with the moment, almost no dev support. 1 because its a Samsung, 2 because it was the second 4g phone, 3 because its $50 more.
The Evo community is thriving though.
Look at the Moment forum on sdx-developers, then look at the Hero forum here on XDA. Same thing for the Epic vs Evo.

I really hope people will develop for Epic, I really enjoyed the ROMs on Evo. But I liked this one better, hope I didn't make a big mistake! Oh well, I haven't even rooted this one yet, maybe Ill just give it a rest for a while. I know my wife will like that. Don't mean to insult the devs, you're all we got, just wish more people had this phone.

I concur, in a perfect world this phone (which I am getting tomorrow) would be so great that I wouldn't flash rom after rom for little things such as percentage battery mod or something. I would flash roms because it looked slightly different than the previous. and always felt like something was missing. I hope i can just be satisfied with the roms and such that are available for the Epic.
Don't worry u will have plenty of devving for epic. It will not be as much as evo though as evo has much more devs and is more popular and has been out longer. But we will have quality not quantity and after froyo we will see more devving. Most devs don't wanna waste time if the update is coming in less than a month (hopefully).

This is not a development thread persay, but is addressed to all the devs and modders out there.
We appreciate the work you do, very much! Despite whiners dwelling on how much the phone or software sucks, you folks are making the phone do what we want, how we want.
I tip my hat to you folks, be it themers, devs, or modders.
Great work!

I got this phone by "mistake". Went to the verizon store for a droid x. They were out so I got the fascinate which they had just got in that day to have something to play with until the x was restocked. Got it home and saw all the verizon bloatware and touchwiz and bing and said this phone sucks! Thanks to the Devs my phone is now friggin awesome. Sooo happy they were out of the droid x that day. What the Devs have done up till now is mind blowing. So thanks JT, Birdman, Deodexed, Supercurio (for Voodoo), Adrynalyne (for Voodoo uninstaller), AgentHeX, wickedbeav, fallingup, and anyone I forgot or don't know about.
many thanks from Georgia
Don't know where we would be without all of your hard working developers out there.
Thank you good sirs, thank you.
Yea this phone is excellent with the all the things the devs has done Thank you. No rush from me to get a kernel, Froyo or anything idc really take your time and THANK YOU.

KinnySwaggg and I are starting a project to create a MIUI clone. We are not at all equipped to do the full job, so this shall be a community effort. First off, the Settings.apk. This is what the one in MIUI looks like:

Porting is a huge undertaking. Slowly remaking it on TouchWiz would be easier. We would do this one step at a time and release updates. But we definitely need help! Anyone with knowledge willing to help is welcome!
Good luck on the project, I am sure there will be people that love the idea, just looks too much like an iphone for me.
Anything graphic design related, I'm in.
Anyone know XML editing to hopefully get this or a similar look in stock settings??
Well, I guess that's one way to make iWiz even more of an iPhone KIRF.

Ok I am in but in ONE condition, I can do XML editing but I am not spending time on what they have edited and how. If the MIUI team give their sources on what they have edited to you then im definatley in.
MIUI is fully opensource. I think the biggest roadblock is that the UI was created through java rather than xml.
Personally, I'm not BAD with XML, but honestly, it might not be really helpful.
I'm not known, I'm sure, in the Captivate forums. But I am jellette/Heathen of the Einherjar Dev Team over in the Vibrant forums. I and other members of EDT would be interested in taking part in this project.
I can't wait to see where this goes

One thing I have enjoyed here in this forum is it is much friendlier and less flaming than the evolution 3d forum I came from, and still is so far.
I have read a few things that disappointed me greatly I would like to mention .
Guys, think before you bash a persons work. Whether it's a theme, ROM, or some mod these people put in hard work and time for free and our benefit! It may not be perfect or what you personally like but that's not the point. If I was doing things for friends I've never met or a forum I would stop after some of the crap I've read.
Guys, please keep this place supportive and friendly. We were all noobs once and didn't know much except how to turn on the phone.
Anyway, respect each other and the work posted here. Bashing doesn't promote anything and doesn't encourage anyone to keep going .
And it's FREE!
Ok, group hug . J/k

It has become worse over the years. Sadly.
Still it's a small group who messes it up for the rest.
I have however, also seen someone who thinks he's a "developer", say snobby stuff to noobs. Like he was better then them.
This is much worse imho.

I salute all the devs in this forum knowing well that our GNote coupled with their fantastic effort and talent will become an even better device once the official ICS starts rolling out.
