first i must say that i am very grateful for the developers who do all the hard work that they do. i thank you all! also i really really hope what i am asking is not taken the wrong way by anybody.
my question is why do you guys do it? why do you guys do all this work and just give it away for free? do you guys really make enough from donations to make it worth it or what? are all developers just nice, giving people?
what are your day jobs? i'm guessing you guys aren't making enough money from donations alone to pay your bills.
again, thank you all for your hard work and sleepless nights!
'cause it's fun.

That's got to be one of the coolest answers I've ever seen ... And I would just like to thank you and all the developers that make owning an Android phone so enjoyable.
I have donated to many developers and worked closely with them in the past, and they did it as a hobby, but donations certainly never hurt.
I too am eternally grateful for the countless hours these developers sink into these projects.
95% of my enjoyment from smartphone ownership is because of all the cool stuff that i get to do with it thanks to them.. even though half the time i have no idea what im doing. thank you!
cause making key log and other spam on ur phone is fun ^^ jkjk
I want to take the time to thank you all for making this root possible. I know all of you have things to do but you still have time to mess around with your phones I mention Eugene more because i've been following him since he was BH_Man working with that shi**y Behold2. Anyways, THANK YOU ALL!!!
Wow, i take a look at these forums compared to where i am from, and i am blown away There are so many active developers, and so many contributors.. i will admit that i am minorly jealous
I come from the land of the Continuum, this phone's little sister... Which, in my opinion, has great potential to be such a great phone
But, over at our forums.... There has been a whole lot of "null" when it comes to development... We have our one Dev who has committed himself to us, and we highly appreciate him and all he does<3
But, i was curious if, even for a day or to, a couple of the amazing, talented, and honestly great Devs over hear could come and take a slight peek at our phone?
I would normally find this rude, to intrude on this whole different society like this, but since these phones are so much alike, i was hoping it wouldn't be that much trouble
If any of you devs are even considering helping our poor souls out, you will find that we over at the Continuum homebase have a pretty realible and dedicated testing ground.. Alot of people are willing to put there "stuff" on the line to help out with anything you want us to do...
Our source code is on the samsung website, we have a couple dumps, we have root, and we have a (for the most part) working CWM...
If anyone is willing to help,
Thank you very much
I'd be willing to come back if someone would set Bubby323 in his place and tell him to knock off the bull****.
Last time I tried to help, i got an inbox full of PMs of him arguing with me, and trying to one up me, and one time, even blatantly telling me not to release cwm to continuum users because HE wanted to.
Then a straight week of "help me" pms so he can get his kernel compiled properly.
If you guys can set him straight, I'll come back and see if I can help. Otherwise, you are allowing a 14 year old kid ruin the chances of the phone getting any help. I'm not gonna compete with nonsense.
Delete me....
I vote for you to please come back, don't let others with childish behavior ruin it for the rest of us. We sure needs your experties with kernel and ROMs to help us out. I hope to see 2.2 updates soon.
Please consider
Thanks
Adrynalyne, I'm with you 100%. Bubby has contributed NOTHING, and does not run the place. I might be willing to test some things on my phone, however the last modifications I made to my Continuum bricked it, so I'm going to be wary with this device. The Eris was a trooper and took a lot of abuse. The Continuum seems to be a bit more dainty.
This is exactly why i don't put my tine and effort into a communtiy that doesn't deserve it for the good people here you know who you are, the people that have gotten to know me, they know how i am. I come here to try and help you guys out and i get pelted in the face because im not doing anything? Pardon me for wanting to develope for you guys and expand my knowledge. I go to ask someone wiser than me for help and i get told that im too young. It always goes back to that, that in to young like are makes a diffrence. I ask for help understanding something i want to comprehend and im refused an explanation based on my age. Glad to know that the community is so kind. Not. Im not going to give up and leave you guys so others can say through out the fact im too young and couldn't do anything anyways. Im still here and im not leaving.

Officially, jt and adryn are my fav devs. So take care of those two and they will take care of you.
I vote for you to come back and helps us out adrynalyne of course that is if you want to. Like TrailBlazer said we have alot of people inlcuding my self that are willing to do alot of testing on there phones.
You're IRC channel is empty, I feel so alone
Its pretty dead everywhere. I posted a cwm package for folks to try early yesterday on xda and there is still no response.

Bubby...
Thank you for everything you have done, and hopefully will do..
I have no doubt that you have decent intentions for us, and i appreciate all that you are trying to do..
But lets put all this behind us, okay? We over at the Continuum boards want development, and we would really appreciate both you and Adry working on it I mean, we are spoiled We would rather have double development So, please... We don't mean anything bad by it, we just want some things getting done, you know?
oh, and get on IRC..
adrynalyne: I tested it and it worked! Thank you so much! (My reply was in the Continuum forum)
I'm usually a huge proponent of donating to those who make our devices better and our lives less frustrating. That being said, I have been without an income since the year started, so my ability to do this has been limited, although I will catch up. In penance, I wanted to post donate links in one thread, and at least offer my thanks to the time and effort these guys put in without expectation of contribution.
I know you guys would do this anyway, but the vast majority of the community sincerely appreciates your efforts. Without you I would have put my Fascinate in a sock and beat a Verizon or Samsung rep to death with it long ago. As light as this phone is, that would have taken a while.

And don't forget your choice of Theme developer/ porter. Too many there to list. You know who makes your stuff look good.
Good points. I was really close to switching to an iphone with at&t. This forum saved my fascinate from an untimely "fall" from my hand to the sidewalk. I really appreciate that these guys do such great work and are willing to share their knowledge with the rest of us. Now my phone works great and these guys definitely deserve a drink.
devs i love you and respect everything you do.. its yalls fault that i was stuck with a $700 paperweight for like 2 hrs.. but totally worth it because now my phone is beast... ide donate but im jobless and have a daughter to raise... but for real.. ya'll are amazing.. much respect.. if ne of u are in ohio.. i will happily buy u a beer though.. for sure... keep up the AMAZING work... thank you from the bottom of my heart
Links aren't working for me.
I am sad to say I will be leaving the at&t and regretfully the ATRIX. I really think this phone would not be nowhere near as good as it is without the dev community this phone has. I am not leaving the ATRIX because I want to because I don't, but because the carrier that the phone is attached to has felt that they need to cancel my unlimited data without notice due to too much usage, and not be change it back to what I signed in contract, I can no longer afford it. I was currently working on a base rom as a dev platform for others to use and hopefully encourage and speed the process of others planning on new roms.I try to contribute where I can and I know I haven't contributed much, but I will continue this project and try to release it soon in hopes it will help someone else out. I guess what I want to say is thank you to this community for furthering my education of this platform and android in general. The ATRIX forums will be missed. If anyone is having any troubles with trying to do something pm me I will come back and hang out every once in a while.
