Database Users

I just wanted to say "Thank you."

I just wanted to inform all the good people of XDA for helping out me out. It all started with me asking total noob questions such as "What is rooting" to finally having great guides to teach me about rooting. Now, my phone is completely rooted, voodooed, and just spanking fantastic. It's fascinating how a phone can do so much. I can't wait till XDA works hard to crack the 2.2 update in the future and I just wanted to say, Thank you very much.

I second that. Came in here with no knowledge of the subject of roots, and after a couple of weeks of reading I feel I can safely edit my phone. Thank you to all who contribute.

Thirded. It's quite amazing how quickly this phone has come along. Big thanks to the devs for their hard work. Also, lol @ the OP's fascinate pun.

U'll can thank a lot of these guys by donating. Most of them have ways to do that.

I'm gonna echo the OP's sentiments exactly. After everybody's help & responsiveness here at xda I feel like I've been able to make the right choices about phones & apps & what to do with them. After everyone's input on my OP, droid x or fascinate?, I'm sticking with the fascinate due to my confidence in what these devs can accomplish with a truly open platform.

+1. I'm new to the android scene. Thanks to XDA and its helpful guides and members, my phone's now rooted and zipper than ever.

Some other folks here and I have had this phone since Last fall, and this dev community has exploded since then. Thanks to the devs, this phone is exactly how I want it.

Thank you to everyone I met and shared experiences with.
Thank you for helping me learn about Android and get me to where I am now(I was a complete noob when I started )
Thank you to the amazing developers who made this phone amazing. We've seen way more Android versions than most, and we will continue to see more.
Thank you to Kennyglass123 specifically. You are one of the best people ever, and I was way too excited when you became a moderator. Keep it up, you're amazing.

[Donation]Atrix 4G MIUI Port

A lot of people have been interested in getting MIUI on the Atrix and FRAMEWORK over at miui.us has stated that he has gotten some progress on this port but is stuck at the point of having no Atrix to test his port on. He is known for porting MIUI to multiple devices. FRAMEWORK said that if he got his hands on the device, it could take a few days to get a working port on our Atrix.
Anyone interested in donating to this dev getting his hands on a Atrix, post on the thread. From there, I guess he will have to set up a way to take the donations or we can put something together. Either ways, this is an awesome opportunity for Atrix users who want a polished and sleek looking ROM.

You have to start it with the necessary half of the phone cost, by XDA rules.

We pretty much have a stable cm7 if I'm not mistaken
Sent from my CM7 ATRIX via XDA Premium App

Our CM7 is stable but is missing camera functionality and few other things. But IMO its stable.. no reboots here

I personally do not think donation threads should be allowed in xda at all without proof of progress. I know he has ported to several devices already, but that is what the donations links on their website is for. I have also seen several threads like this raise hundreds of dollars to get a dev a device and they release one thing and support it for only a week or two and never hear from them again. Just my opinion, I'm not trying to insult anyone.

I tend to agree, donation threads just aren't right. We are moving towards paying devs more and more. at this rate, it will be I won't help unless i get paid this amount. Kinda what this thread is, isn't it. He can't\won't get it done unless somebody buys him a phone. We have done that already at least once here. Maybe that dev would offer up the phone already purchased to this dev so he can do his part, then he can pass it on to the next.....

I completely agree. These donation threads are getting a bit aggressive and we've already been burned once.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App

Now that I've read the last few comments, I realize I totally agree as well. When I first saw this thread, I voted Maybe So, because honestly I was like "Yeah, let's get this going so we can get MIUI ASAP!!" but now I'm realizing...it probably won't make it go any faster, and we will really probably have it VERY soon after a full CM7 is released (whenever that is...), and if people want to THEN they can start donating to the guy. But to donate before hand? I didn't realize until just now how foolish that could be!
As Atrix users, we've seen plenty of devs take the loot and then split, so it'd be risky to do that again.
Besides, I've seen on the MIUI site a thread that lists some devices they're working on, and the only things on the Atrix to do list that aren't there are Working CM7 and Working MIUI. I'll go look for a link and bring it back here if anyone wants it

i thought i saw a thread that someone was already working on a miui build

The previous Atrix that was given to a dev was Koush, right?

Does framework NEED an atrix to finish porting? I mean I'd be willing to be a Guinea pig to help him on the parts where he needs to actually test it out...

Haha thanks, that saved me some time.
So yeah, I mean it should be said that this ALSO doesn't guarantee MIUI...but at least we know that we should wait for CM7 until anything should really be done.
And milesjohnson makes a good point...instead of buying someone a device for them to use as they see fit, he could perhaps just do the same coding and have others that already have their own device testing it or something.

TBH I think everyone already knows that the Cyanogenmod team is doing what they always do. So nothing new about this. Most people are just too lazy to follow the members on twitter or keep up with their tweets. It's nothing to get excited about yet. Who knows how long it is going to take them to get us a flashable update anyways. Could be this month, could be 4 months down the road, we just don't know. The point is don't get your hopes up and expect anything soon.

So carefeul who you point the lazy finger at ! Because it's my choice not to do what you do does not make me lazy! You are like some in your generation you paint with a broad brush.

Without them(developers) this place would not be called *Insert You Device Forum Name Here* but something else, e.g Mobile Phone & Tablet User Support Services For Ungrateful Nerds.

Atrix 4g thanks and donation

Hey guys, long time reader although never really posted much. Over the next few days I'll be getting my new phone in the mail and begin setting that up. I wondered what to do with this phone that has been made great thanks to the devs here. So I'd like to donate it to one of those devs who has put in a lot of hard work for the good of this community. I remember reading a while back that some of them only have photons and just change some code around. I figured it might help everyone out by donating to one of those guys. It's the least I can do considering I've been using ICS and JB since they came out thanks to everyone here, not Motorola lol. If anyone could suggest a dev or if one of you see this yourself just send me a pm. It might be a week or two but the phone is in great shape still! Thanks guys again for all the great work. Oh last thing, I'd prefer that you be in the US if possible just so the shipping isn't outrageous. Thanks!

I would recommend Th3Bill. He makes a bunch of ROMs for this community and doesn't even own an Atrix.

OK, I knew when I wrote that it was either him or joker that didn't have an Atrix. Thanks, I'll send him a pm.
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app

I was planning on doing the same thing with my Atrix once I get a Nexus 4. I actually live in the same city as Th3Bill.

Don't forget mmontuori. I was actually thinking of donating my second atrix to him since I'm in a skyrocket, but I believe he's outside the us? Please someone correct me if I'm wrong. Us people who want to donate should definitely get together so we make sure all the awesome developers have an atrix to work with!

Joker doesn't have one either.

Don't forget epinter. He already has an Atrix but I'm sure he could do a lot more of his "magic" with a second one, specially if this one has a different tegrapart.
The only problem: epinter is from Brazil, but I'm not sure where he lives.
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app

Let's also not forget mmontuori, he also has one already but now he's working on a new experimental ROM which he said is becoming increasingly more difficult since he needs his phone for normal everyday stuff too...
But anyway, I agree Th3Bill is probably the best candidate. Joker would be a good one too if he was still active, and to my knowledge all other devs have at least one already. Hmmm... maybe faux123 too? Dunno if he has one or is he even still interested in working for the Atrix...

May vote goes to mmontuori. He kindly ask for second Atrix

I'm giving my vote to Th3bill guys, he has like 5 ROMS for the Atrix, and he doesnt even have one! Major well done to him!

I know that Th3bill is good guy but with mvniekerk we may have a new kernel. Without new kernel, no one could make stable ICS/JB with hwa.

Everyone, try to think about who is the most deserving and what makes the most sense. Not what serves your own interests.
Shipping a used device to South Africa for mvniekirk doesn't make much sense. Shipping would probably cost more than the device is worth. You don't pay shipping on PayPal donations, so support him that way.
Joker is AWOL and has been for months. He is certainly worthy of the donation, but might not even use it.
So it really comes down to Th3Bill or mmontuori (since he requested one and is certainly worthy).
Either way, thanks peej8991 for being so generous.
