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...

How much to donate to Overcome ROM v2.0.0 GOLD ◄► GINGERBREAD!!! ◄►
I've just upgraded to the Gold ROM and feel it's time to donate to the coffee fund. But how much is appropriate? Please help me by indicating how much you donated in this poll.
It's not just case of 'ill donate how much everyone else has' you donate how much you think they deserve.

Ummm.... this is a great idea, and I don't mean to be picky, but what if we gave, oh, say $35? How about $5? Don't want to hear from those people? Or how about those who gave in Ruples and have no idea how many dollars that equates to?
My point: you might want to revisit your ranges. At least to make them a little less rigid.
Hi, everybody!
I donate $ 10...
P.S.: i will offer other coffees in the future, if i can!

Just looking for a general idea, nothing scientific, people can round up or down as their conscience allows.
It's in dollars as that is what paypal asks for when you hit the donate button.
btw is "Ruples" that new RussoIndian currency? ;-D
Give him $50
Why not $100? Be generous, the overcome team is generous!
As far as I can see, this thread is only gonna go downhill.
Donations are not about how much you donate, they are a gesture of goodwill and appreciation. There is no need for anyone to know how much someone else has donated, the only people who need to know this is Team Overcome and they already know.
Against my better judgement Im not going to close this yet but be warned, if it starts to slide I will.
Donation generally means what you can give. There is no set limit. If you think its awesome and can only put in $5 then thats OK, if you can afford more then give more.

Donating is not tiping. The devs are saying "if you want to give us money for what we are doing, then give what you can".
If you can only afford to give 5.00, then give that, but if next month your electric bill is cheaper and you can donate more, donate what you can afford.

does anyone else realize that a certain developer is just taking money from people and not producing any results?
and then he appears as this super mysterious person that says a few words on his so called "progress" and then more people donate but still nothing is happening.
he had an overclock thread that people donated to see completed but that didn't happen....
i understand that developing takes time, but seriously, every other developer explains a little better about what exactly they have accomplished and don't leave things to interpretation of the users.

Agreed.
Names, and give the people you are accusing a chance to defend themselves or STFU and GTFO!
The developer im referring to is kholk and if you don't realize that then you haven't really been paying attention to this forum.
Also, there is no chance he is going to defend himself because he is way to "busy"
LOL, Kholk never made anyone donate. Thats why its a donation. If you did before getting results thats your own fault. I only donate when there is a result, not when there is a theory like ive seen a lot of others do. Its not your place to tell people to donate or not or accuse anyone of not producing, they never said they could produce results anyways. Just that they are trying.

1. We're not fu*king mind readers, so no, I didn't realize that! There are a lot of devs here.
2. If you have a complaint, PM a moderator instead of starting a ****ty thread which will just incite flaming, (which I believe is all you want).
3. What the fu*k has it got to do with you if other people are donating?> Is it coming out of your bank account?
4. STFU!
5. GTFO!
Can a mod please close this before it gets out of hand.
He wasnt too busy to confirm the new GB build for unlocked devices is stable, just in the past 24 hours. He also offered to give anybody their donations back when he didnt have to do that. You ask the man to do the imposible and then complain he hasnt met your time frame? At least hes not holding it over your head telling you he can have an unlocked bootloader and you cant. This community is for sharing. Kholk has shared code and time, you have shared what? Maybe $20? And so you expect to be updated daily? Weekly? Not how it works. DG did take peeps money and run, kholk is here still.
lol
you guys get mad easy.
i was just pointing something out.
"I can only officially say that there's a way. And I confirm the fact that I'm not sleeping "
This statement alone probably got him dozens more donations and for what?
by the way, kholk is also suffering from a broken pc. this was already discuss in a different thread on the dev section. no one ask you to donate. this people do it for free, to learn, to help. if you donated and feel is not worth it, theres a way to cancel your donation on paypal. im a dev myself, and i can tell you first hand that the work this guys are doing is difficult. breaking the security on a bootloader that a group of engineers created is difficult, and doing it by himself is even more difficult. this threads only serve as a way out for most devs. of course the atrix is getting no love, theres people that instead of helping, rather poop talk!
Nobody is forced to donate. Some of us donate during the process and others after the outcome or not at all.
Personally I gave up hope on anyone unlocking or bypassing the boot loader except moto. Kexec and 2nd initial and 2.3 previews are spaced evenly enough to keep us entertained tho.
Like everyone else said...
It's not like people are donating your money so why are you mad?
If you're not deving yourself, stop hating. Otherwise dev yourself.
im not mad. nothing i said was showing me as mad!
lol
i never donated because i never saw a reason to.
Great another thread bashing one of the few developers who is still interested in the atrix at all!! Most devs ditched this phone a long time ago! Kholk doesn't deserve this!
So if a mod could delete this pointless thread before kholk actually sees it! It would be greatly appreciated by most on here I'm sure!
It seems the OP had a bad night with his transformer and GF... go back with ur barbecue

Re: My two cents
Just FYI...I'm not a Dev on here...I'm not posing as a Dev on here...I simply had a question as to WHO gets the donations....I don't want someone that is stealing someone else s work! Oh...not affiliated with them either. Talk about paranoid.
Mods...sorry. I know you closed the thread but I needed to say this. I'm still a partial noob but I'm not trying to [email protected]# anybody off. I just wanted to make sure my donations are going to the person responsible for the software I use...

Why not just ask the developer or developers that you donate to instead of opening up a thread?
What do you gain from opening up a thread like this? You say that you don't want to piss off anyone BUT this is asking for someone to bash you or become the stepping stone for something bad.
There's a reason the MODS closed the other thread...hahahaha My advice to you buddy, is to go PM the developer or developers you donated to and ask him or her where is actually going! 75 percent of the time when you donate to a developer it goes towards development. Things like buying new phones or buying software to help them develop more ROMs or whatever the case may be.
Hope this answers your question BUT like I said before, this is just asking for trouble!
It's like those darn telemarketers...like the Police Benevolent Association. The cops only get about 3% of the donation. I didn't realize that the donations were distributed per the dev. I thought it might be regulated. Why am I such an ass if all I want to do is make sure the donations go to the right person. How many people get on here and download ROMs and themes and never pay a dime for them?? I think I had the right to ask. Sorry for asking. I'm a bad person.

To answer your question. Pm or email the developer and ask for their PayPal acct. They should be more than happy to provide it to you. You can also check their sig, there is usually a link there

Hello and good evening.
As many of you already knows, GadgetCheck had a bit of an accident earlier where his Samsung Galaxy Note got destroyed that ended up by stopping the development of the current CheckROM NoteHD ROM.
You can read more about it here.
Now we all knows that CheckROM NoteHD, or just the CheckROM developers are one of the best ROM developers of the original Samsung ROMs for the Samsung Galaxy S II and Galaxy Note.
So it would be a bad idea to miss out a good CheckROM NoteHD ROM for the Android 4.0.3 that just came out today. More info about that you can see here.
So the point of this topic is to see if you peoples here that have a Galaxy Note are willing to donate some money to let the CheckROM developers get the chance to buy a new or used Galaxy Note so they can continue their development of the ROM.
If you want to donate some money for a better cause for our Galaxy Note's, then just write down on how much you are willing to donate in dollar.
Remember that this is a community initiative.
I will update the topic on how much money that are donated 2 times every day. And i will write down the names on those who have donated with how much money they have donated in my first post.
I will personally donate 20 dollar.
A donate link will come when we have reached a certain amount of money in total from donated money.
Are you guys up for this?
If there is something you want me to change in this topic, then let me know by sending me a PM.
Greetings from Tom-Helge.
---------------------------------------------------------
Who have donated money:
- Tom-Helge: 20$
- mfractal: 10$
- CorruptedSanity: 25$
- saqibj: 20$
- Martinhdk: 10$
- tbong777: 25$
- AnisKhan: 10$
- saqibj (2nd time): 30$
- Total = 150$.
Really pleased with your generosity.
Would love to get you guys Checkrom ICS.

Its completely for the users to decided if they want to give back and make a difference.
If you done want to its your choice with all due respect.

OMG, i'm note sure if you still get the whole point of the thread.
I'm a nice and friendly person that loves the Galaxy Note to bits. And because of that i want a damn good ROM on my Galaxy Note to.
And i'm sorry to tell you this, but i'm not alone on doing all this. And that's why i created this topic because both me and GadgetCheck knows that there are alot of peoples out here that want to donate some money to GadgetCheck so he can get a new or used Galaxy Note so he can continue to create the best custom Samsung ROM that are out to both the Galaxy S II and the Galaxy Note.
If i have had the money to buy GadgetCheck a new or used phone alone, then i would do it.
But because we usually don't have all of those moneys to do that, then we create those 'DONATE' topics to let others help with the problem.
