I could really use some help [Update] Thank you all! - Off-topic

As some of you may know, I'm responsible for the Superuser app that is found on nearly every rooted android phone these days. I've been working on version 3.0 for some time now, but progress has been really slow since I got military orders to move to the UK. Well, I've already moved over here, but my wife and kids had to stay behind due to the State Department really dropping the ball on their passports. The problem has been fixed but they're still back in the states. The military will pay for their plane tickets but there are other expenses involved that they aren't covering, like me having to rent a van to get her from the airport. The problem is that we're between paychecks and money doesn't go too far when you're supporting two households. We get paid again on the first, but that's still a ways away...
Point is I'd love to be able to get her over here sooner, but I need some help. If you can spare anything, Me and the wife and kids would be extremely grateful. Plus the sooner she gets here, the sooner I can get back to developing and get Superuser 3.0 out.
There's a donate link by my name on the left, and one in my signature. Anything you can give would be great. Thanks!
** Update **
In the course of less than 24 hours you guys have donated more than $700 to my family. It's overwhelming to see a community so strong and willing to help. Thank you all so much. I really hope that someday we get the opportunity to give back. If you still feel compelled to donate, I won't stop you, but I'm pretty sure we've gotten what we need to make this transition a lot easier. Thank you again!

Come on guys! We ALL use SuperUser!! Whats a couple of bucks?? Being a veteran myself, I know what this can be like. I know a few of you have been there yourselves.
:shrug: It's a really good way to say thank you.

Getting a great response so far. Thanks for everybody's help!

Wish I could afford more mate. If I had it, I'd pay the lot. I've give what I can on my meagre salary.

Donation fund for P1tater

[size=+2] NO MORE DONATIONS NEEDED[/size]
[size=+2] Phone purchased from leoiden[/size]
We all know how much P1tater has helped and contributed to this community. I thought it might be a good thing if we all chipped and showed him some support after all the help and support he has provided. He unfortunately had an accident and his phone ended up destroyed. How about we all chip in a little and get him a refurbished phone? What do you guys think???
I will be accepting the money on P1tater's behalf. Whatever you guys can chip in would be greatly appreciated.
$320 US Dollars donated as of May 5th, 2008 9:00pm PST.

I dont trust my money in your hand !
kidding , I am actually working out some hot deal for a brand new tilt . If it went through, he will get a tilt for deep discount. If not , my money in your bank.
i know its not much but i just donated $20. he's never personally helped me, but i certainly do appreciate what he does for this community
EDIT:
oh wait, i have downloaded from his 4shared folder......so there you go, thanks for that tater
Nice work guy's we are already up to $75
Can you outline what he has done for the community? I am up for donating by all means.
However, I don't believe I've ever used any of his ROM's, and I don't know what other contributions he's done. Has he made tools for use to developers and such?
Sell me with the points and things he's been credited for and I'll definitely donate. Just curious for what he's known for here. ;-)

P1 has done a lot for this forum including support a lot of people that needed help. Aside from that I am sure he has helped many cooks testing their work before they published it to this forum. He has done beta testing for ROMS that you might have used in the past or might be running now. I see him as one fo the key people that keeps information moving in this forum. Those are just my two cents.
-McMex
Here are my 10$!
Pleased to help the forum.
Still no need of specific help, but doing my homework - who knows for tomorrow???
Indeed, an oiled phone lets you always make very fluid calls.....
$25 sent just a minute ago. Don't ask about the email address... it's left over from my days of running a Video Game Emulation site...
hi,
Ok, donation made, you can add another 15$
This way he can buy a brand new castrol... ops, i mean another kaiser...
glad to helt such a great member of this community.
cheers

ohhh myyyy gooood, you have got to be kidding me, the man dropped his phone in oil, if you want to donate then do so, if not don't, p1tater has a BIG reputation, the fact that he has a FTP site for everyone to use was well worth the donation i made. you can find all kinds of cool FREE software to download for FREE. If thats not justification for a donation i don't know what is. Also if you had dropped your phone in oil and helped a bunch of people on here wouldn't you hope that others would donate. Just for the fact of being able get him a new device so he can help beta test to make the programs you download work properly. you should be ashamed of even righting what you did.
For Tater I'll throw in $40.
Tater is the bomb.

Nobody need to sell you the idea because this is a DONATION.
Engrish is my 2nd language but I do understand the meaning and spirit of the word. If you dont , please look up in the dictionary.
Extra money in the pot is good , but there is no one come after your ass for this donation. If you care, thanks for your support. If you dont, mind your own business mate.
Can you sell me your idea of writing your post ? maybe penis envy or small man complex. You aint losing no money so drink your anger management pill and relax. Or just spend that extra money on some grass and call it a day.
important factor: P1tater himself did not ask for any donation. We doing it not for benefit nor fame , not even to prove that my pocket is deeper than yours. We do it cuz he is our fellas in the XDA care bear club.
Beside working on a new cheap Tilt, I guess $20 would help a bit. Its few weeks until my next pay check , but hey, p1tater may slit his wrist with his V3 by then .
He has not directly help me anything ,but I looted his cab here and there . and we all should not ignore the fact that his ****ty attitude keeps stupid post away !!!
ATW !! you should start doing some smart to keep the pot update man
p/s , ****, my paypal is screwed upon me . will send it as long as I get home to jump on my gf account lol

Will do I will add it to the first post
$165 US Dollars so far
i know its not much but
here is another 5 from me Alltheway. I know its not much but hopefully it helps; if i could i would definitly do more. P1tater does alot on this forum trying to help everyone out and it would be great if i can help him out by my donation.
p.s. we just need to make sure he does not end up dropping this one while working on his hot rod again ...
I'm kickin' in $5 just for all the times I've shot Red Bull out of my nose from reading his flames.
Sorry I can't give more, but they upped the rate on my truck insurance because I manage a business that does delivery in OTHER LOCATIONS!!!
Thank you so much to all who have donated so far
This is truly a great community indeed.

Red,
I can't tell you how sorry I am to hear something like that. Everything will be ok. Like you said, this community is really tight with one another. I will try to get the message around in the other forum areas as well by putting it in my signature. All my prayers go to you and your grandfather in this time of need. I will try to make a donation if I can (my money supply is really tight as well, but I'll do whatever I can)

Not to be cold or anything, but you pm-ed me the same time of day that you wrote that your grandfather had died and the message basically implied a request for money.

Cacheinjection leaving the Android Theming world

Hello everyone..
This I thought was something important that I decided to put in the theme thread since the above mentioned developer has had such an impact in the theming world.
So I was talking to cacheinjection just a few minutes ago on gtalk, and he unfortunately told me to let the xda community know that he will be leaving the android theming for a while.
He gave the reason as he was getting very busy with his job, and so does not have that much time right now(which i'm sure is true for most android developers since we can't be on xda all day every day), and also he expressed his discontent at people's lack of appreciation for all that he did/has been doing. He has been quite a revolutionary themer and most people would agree with me that the new things that he brought to the android scene, along with the help of other great developers: freekyfrogy and djosiah, made us love our g1's/mytouch 3g's all over again. With my time being on xda, I have seen this too many times where some ppl on xda actually end up pushing developers away because they do not realize that all developers have lives apart from the work they do for free for the xda community. I think it goes without saying that we as an xda community should show our appreciation to developers, as our way of saying thank you for taking time out of their day.
Excerpts from Conversation:
Cacheinjection: I feel pretty s*** about Android atm...People always want stuff, and never give anything back, not even thanks really. So I think I might give it up. I had a good run.
Cacheinjection: I think it might be very soon cos I don't see people caring anymore.
Cacheinjection: All people do is moan cos I haven't [done a specific thing]. F*** it. I'll just make my own fone pretty.
Cacheinjection: I have a pretty awesome job, I just like people to appreciate that I put my heart and soul into the stuff
Cacheinjection: It seems to me that if you need to tell people to appreciate what you do, they don't appreciate it
Cacheinjection: Let ppl know that I am taking a bit of time off of theme development. Things will get updated as and when..and I'll continue my work with Super D with Ben.
So there it is guys. If I were you, I would go over to his page, and to the pages of as many developers as you can find, and let them know how much you appreciate them. A donation never hurts either, if they have it on their page. So that's it. Just letting people know. Don't let any more developers make this decision also. Let them know you care. Thanks.
Shouldn't be to much of a surprise though, the things he say are pretty true though.

Very true. Also, I feel even worse for the Devs, they aren't that much more appreciated either! They make wonderful Roms and include awesome instructions yet people ask questions that are already answered and demand more and more and more. I don't know how some of them (including themers) put up with everything. Reading the posts people make in Rom threads make me go They want this, that, etc etc etc!
If only people took some more effort into doing some stuff themselves or even learning the basics, it would probably reduce a lot of these issues. I love when I see a theme release and people just ask for different stuff when they can do it themselves lol, I wonder if they even know how much time this stuff takes. I also don't think most of the people understand or know a thing about the Roms, other then flashing it! Which leads to more demands and devs that have to deal with it!
Just another example of a great developer being pushed away by unappreciative idiots on this forum. It's kind of sad really, alot of people have nothing better to do but to refresh the page every 5 seconds waiting for a new update (usually for a minor bug) even though an update was released just a few days prior. Better yet, the same people will b*tch and moan if a Dev hasn't put anything out for a week, while completely disregarding the fact that people like Cache work for free despite the fact they have actual lives outside of xda. This applies for ROMS and themes.
Xda should be a pay site and I'm serious. Either subscription based or download based. If not then this site will slowly die, do you think devs will continually put up with this crap over and over again? I have no problem paying a mandatory fee for an amazing theme or ROM. Nothing major, just a few dollars but at least the devs will get some guaranteed compensation.
Hope to see you back here Cache because despite the idiots, I do know there are alot of posters that appreciate your work.

Something like the membership @ modaco. People get angry when a new update doesn't come out which is ridiculous.
Cacheinjection Keep Your Head Up And I Also Want You To Know That You Are Appreciated By Me. Take As Much Time As You Need. Your Themes Are The Best And Will Always And Forever Be. Your A Tremendous Developer. Continue On Doing What You Do And Trust Me: You Will Be Missed A LOT!
Until Then...Keep Up The Marvelous Work
It seems people want things on there schedule and how they want it.. A dev developes for him/herself and then share with the community.. We shouldn't expect anything from them we should be happy that they took there time to make something for us (community)....
Appreciate you and your revolutionary designs for the Android Community... You will be missed a lot

Ah I'd be totally down for some kind of membership/subscription here (As long as it isn't too much! Just some membership thing would be nice)
And now that you guys mention people constantly wanting updates, that reminds me of how ppl appear to go crazy when Cyanogen doesn't release an update and think he's left the project to die cause of nexus one lmao. I personally think most of us will just keep wanting updates (flashaholics!), even at the point where updates are almost no longer possible!
It's terrible how all the complainers ruin it for all the people who truly do appreciate the devs work. The lurkers like me far outnumber the haters but the fact that we lurk is probably part of the problem. We'll miss him cache's work has definitely been some of the best.....the Darkstar theme is the best thing on any cellular device to date imho.
Sorry to see him leave, he will be missed.

but that fact aside...
u do amazing work...
ive been part of the android community since day 1 of the g1 being released...
i wasnt a linux geek or themeing master but i patiently waited...learned the tricks and began helping others...
it was fun to give people tips and tricks on how to do things
help run their roms on their phone when they cant anymore...
and i feel what ur saying
its hard to keep up with a community thats so young and wants everything quick...some people just dont realize the time that goes into it...
well i hope u do come back and if u keep ur themes for a select few i understand that...for peopel who donate and what not i would be more than willing to pitch in...everyone deserves payment for their work...nothing in this world is free
Sad, sad, sad...
Hope HE will be fine. It doesn't matter those people whose won't be getting his stuff, only HE matters.
So, if HE is allright, i'll be fine!
Good luck Mr.Cacheinjection!
damn this guy was my partner in crime lol. to be honest without cache here updates for elegance and darkstar will be very slow. he was the one who mostly updated these themes. its sad to see him go because he has taught me a lot and if it wasnt for his initial darkstar concept i wouldnt have gotten into themeing. hopefully he will be back sooner than we think.
@shadowch31 syaing that he 'bit off more then he chew' isnt a very fair statement to make. he chose to try and do all these things to help the community and when the community dont show appreciation they are just throwing it back in his face. im not having a go at you or anything, just thought it needed to be said.
Deleted...
I feel sorry about it, but I understand him, everyone who make themes/roms, would understand it too. Actually people, who never made anything, don't realize how hard is it, and how many hours we expend on it.
I also hate when people post negative comments like: "you should post concepts, or w.i.p, ...
I hope he doesn't leave forever, or even long, becuase we need him. He's one of the best, and always a good help for people like me.
I just want to thank him for everything he has made so far.

I would say though, shadowch31, that from all the conversations that i've had with cache, money is not his main thing for theming. The guy has a love for theming and he seems he just has a heart to share the ideas with people. Just to clear that up. What's wrong with donations anyway? More so to him? The guy has really been revolutionary with bringing new ideas to the table, and you're right..not everyone can donate, but those who can, it never hurts to send a dev some monetary thank yous. i've done so myself when i could cuz i know the time and effort it takes to make anything, from the smallest thing to the grandest. but yeah..i was just letting you know that that's not what cache is about here.

I agree, developers can sell their software in the market, themers share it here. Donations is a good way to push creators to keep working and creating.
And I think 1$ is not a big deal for anybody here, but together, it would be a nice reward for every developer.
But it's just my opinion
hey guys,
im just gonna chime in quick,
first off i wana say to shadowch31 none of this is aimed at you, you are awsome, and i dont think i would have done as much good worth without your enthusiasm.
And yeah i totaly love your british sense of humor, gtalk em if ya wana chat
yeah, this is most definitely not about money, I have a job, and that keeps me in beer and a roof over the head, in fact i was a little hesitant about adding donate links, cos i dont want people to give if they dont wana. its just about people appreciating work, also people letting us know they are still interested with what were doing, helps us know if we should continue to work on it for the comunity.
Anyway thanks for all the support, and i will be back, just having a breather.
Cache
Thanks for coming in Cache and clearing things up, I understand your words of enthusiasm a lot more than 'appreciated' but see how the two tie in.
Your right the community had somwhat abandonded Darkstar besides me and my motivational nagging and Elegance was getting the same besides the odd 'Can we have...' brigade. Gonna be sad to see you go fella but it is a well deserved break and one I understand, just looking at getting into theming myself and know it ain't gonna be a walk in the park and is gonna take a lot of time and effort. Was just gutted and upset to see such an asset to the themeing community leave and for what seemed like weak excuses but now you have explained I fully understand your decision.
I, like everyone else will miss ya fella and look forward to the day you feel like coming back and treating us all to your amazing work. Thanks for everything Cache, been a hell of a ride.
I too would like to say thanks Cache for what you've done for the community, and of course especially DarkStar.
To this date I still haven't abandoned the last update of DS that had Stericson's lockscreen lol. In fact, I'm actually keeping the theme for quite some time since SD 1.8 is stable and fast enough.
But yeah have fun with your break dude, and I look forward to your return.

Thank you DZO (Martin) for all your hard work

For anyone who doesn't know. DZO is the reason we have android on the vogue period.. End of sentance.
Yeah there's been others of us who have ported builds and so on, but the simple truth of the matter is it wouldn't have happened without Martin.
He's an amazingly generous person who's helped all of us extend our vogues way longer than we ever would have. He's poured countless hours of developing and debugging into this project, because of him we had a functional froyo build before most other phones were even thinking about getting official builds.
For those of you who don't know DZO will be moving on from vogue developement soon as his provider is discontinuing the baseband that the vogue used.
I propose we all show Martin our thanks and appreciation for everything he's done for us.
I've just donated 4.55USD. (confirmation 44522221AF351025K) I know its not much, but it's all I have in my paypal and can afford right now. I propose we all give just a little, show our appreciation and send Martin off the way he deserves! Post here whatever you donate, even if it's just a dollar, its about showing our appreciation.
Thanks again Martin! You are what every project needs!
And if NZ has milestones, I hope you get one I'd love to continue to work with you.

I Agree 100%. DZO Is The Man. Most People dont realize what he has accomplished. This forum Woudnt even Exist without him. I will donate $20.00 In the next couple days when i get paid.
I would also advise that any further donations to me from this forum should go to him instead. I will donate anything I receive to him If it still comes to me. Thanks DZO For everything man.

Yes, DZO is incredible!
Just donate me too 8€ (8DK842408Y0358827) (equal to 10USD).
Hey Don't give to Dzo a milestone!!! ... He needs to work on his Vogue!!! .... isn't it.. I'm joking
thanks again
I must say that without dzo and this android project I would have never attempted to write a program. My NBH Editor is the first time I've ever messed with any type of programming, and I have dzo to thank for that. Nobody has donated to me and I'm totally fine with that because I get excited seeing almost 1000 downloads of something that I created. I know dzo feels the same way, not really looking for donations but just the joy in doing something that a community loves. Regardless, I think dzo deserves at least a little bit of compensation for all of his hard work.

Thanks dzo!
US$10.00 donated, confirmation #9MV1626147645613U
Thank you for pouring yourself into the Vogue.
Thank you dzo for everything you've done for this community. I've had so much fun being apart of it. You are truly an inspiration to me and countless others. You are the main reason I've never taken a donation from this project. Because if there is anyone that deserves it then its you. You are the reason I still keep my vogue. I showed my seven year old son the video and slides you did documenting this great accomplishment and hopefully inspired a future developer. I am truly grateful for all that you have givin us. I pledge $20 u.s. dollars to help pay for your next phone. Good luck my friend I wouldn't be doing what I love if it wasn't for you.
Not that I have a Vogue but his work also covers Kaiser (and Polaris) and so here's $10 from me.

Thanks for keeping it alive!
mssmison -- thanks for starting this thread, I think that the fact that dzo has been doing this for so long without (to my knowledge) ever asking for pats on the back or any other kind of thanks meant that he loved to do it. That said, in retrospect, someone needed to do exactly this, and thanks for doing so.
Noooooooooooo
Dzo, if we donate enough, will you consider moving to the states where your Vogue still works?
I just added my donation to the pile.
Thanks for all your efforts.
Thanks for everything dzo!
$10 confirmation:7TE916742S3224020
I also want to say thanks for all your great work.
I know what you're thinking, "Hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort"
Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness. So you've got that goin' for you, which is nice.
Many thanks Dzo, I said a while ago I would pay for getting Bluetooth working on my Kaiser, we here ya go. I had a six hour ride yesterday to a customers site, I was able to stream comedy and music to my Bluetooth and then to my radio for the entire ride.
Sweeet!
Thanks.
PS. Paypal contrib is on the way.
Thank you and again and again...
I think you're the best DZO : I've done before for all your very good works
Thank you very much again, because now I've a new phone !!
Have a good day and another's...
Cheers.
Many many thanks for your hard work to give second live for our phones. I had kaiser, but now with your work (kernel and froyo) I have KAISER.

Dzo, you need to tell us what phone you buy, so we can all follow you once our Vogue's eventually go belly up
Thanks to DZO (and others) I spent more time in bed with my kaiser than my girlfriend
It also enabled my first steps into Android programming.
You have to learn it on an old bike and DZO keeps them in mint condition
Just a symbolic donation (91W25880AB312705D) for Martin, the living legend
Thanks mate, for all the efforts!
Please tell us what your next xda will be.

Andromeda Epsilon Smartphone startup

Hi everyone!
Now I have bin designing a lot of phones as concepts and with that i keep learning more and more. Now i get a lot of mails about people asking me to join them in there bisnuss and design for them. Now I had this before and that was all a social test which cost me a lot of time.. But now! It's finally time to start something with a group of people.
Ryan of Andromeda came to me asking me if I could be there designer and well that's what I have bin doing now and I have bin working hard on creation a great design but also one that is great in the hands!
With that we started to go to the first fase and in this we started a Gofundme page, If you guys have time it would be great if you could look at it for now I will place renders within this thread and I wish to invite you to watch the phone and maybe help us get there by either donating or sharing the page! every single bit of help is welcome!
Mod edit: Link removed
It would be a great honor.
What I am doing in Basic is designing the phone and I would also do the commercials, animation and right now also wallpapers.
I worked hard on getting here and I truly hope it can go furder then this and do this as a job!
We will also send when all is furder devices to good reviewers to make the best device we can in design and experience!

while that was funny, We really are trying to get this lifted off the ground. If not then kindly share it, all we are trying to do is pursue our dreams and feel that being on XDA developers which is not only fellow phone guys but people of a community that help people. again we thank you very much for taking the time out and help us

Okay, why should I (or anyone) fund you? It looks like the only thing your company has now are some renders. You're throwing around all these high end specs but your company has no experience designing phones. You're in the early stages of development and you're already quoting $549 as the price? You seriously think you can offer a high quality phone with these high end specs? The other major players in the market already have tons of experience, tons of connections. I suggest instead of trying to crowdfund, you try to get actual investors on board. Good luck!
Sorry, but XDA isn't here to help you make money, regardless of the cause.
