[About XDA developers] Benjamin Dobell:
I'm starting this thread because a couple of months ago PayPal erroneously suspended my PayPal account and have refused to reactivate it. This account received donations to help support and cover the cost of the free open-source software I develop and distribute. In particular Heimdall, the open-source cross platform firmware flashing suite for the Galaxy S series of phones and tablets.

Anyway PayPal suspended my account because I was receiving donations. As a result they wanted me to provide evidence that I'm a registered non-profit organisation, which I'm obviously not and have never indicated otherwise. I attempted to make this clear to them but they seem hell-bent on not actually paying attention to the information I provide them with. PayPal's staff are insistent that unless you're registered as a non-profit organisation you cannot take donations, despite the fact this is not indicated anywhere in their terms of service. According to this logic every single one of the "Donate to me" links on the XDA developers website is invalid. Unless you just so happen to be a non-profit organisation. Otherwise, PayPal may just randomly decide to shutdown whatever PayPal account you have linked to your "Donate to me" button, blocking access to any funds that may presently be stored in the account.

What is particularly frustrating is that PayPal have tried to pull this on a number of open-source developers in the past. Most notably Stefan Kueng of TortoiseSVN fame. Stefan went through this exact same debacle last year and in the end PayPal admitted fault and restored his account and his ability to take donations. I've already pointed this out to PayPal however the staff that respond to me seem to be somewhat delirious and see what they want to read, leading to pointless canned responses.

As this has the potential to affect a large portion of the XDA community, and open-source as a whole, I'm posting this here in hope that some of you will chose to voice your concerns, frustration or anger towards PayPal. I'd like as many of you as possible to send PayPal an e-mail about this.

I'm unsure which e-mail address you should use for your particular locality, however I know that in Australia you'll want to send your e-mail to aucr@paypal.com. If you're outside of Australia and would like to complain to PayPal Australia anyway, as they're the ones who suspended my account, then feel free.

Please feel free to discuss this or post your e-mails here for everyone else to see. Hopefully PayPal comes to their senses!

This is what worries me about paypal. They seem to be so trigger happy about kidnapping your funds. There should be some oversight to these ****ers if they're going to act that way.:mad:

Cab you use a rival service (google checkout?)
[About XDA developers] pulser_g2:
Google checkout is a bit harder to use - you need to prove you are a registered charity before you can get the donate a non-fixed amount features...

Without it, you are stuck with "selling" products at varying amounts IIRC
[About XDA developers] Benjamin Dobell:
I thought I'd let you all know I finally managed to get PayPal to restore my account. They didn't really admit fault or explain why my account was suspended, or even anything official about why they were allowing me to restore my account.

In the end I got onto the executive escalations office and they just responded with an e-mail indicating that they had changed the information I must submit. I had to provide photo ID, proof of residence and a questionnaire indicating that I'm not affiliated with any political parties. A few days later my account was restored.
[About XDA developers] pulser_g2:
Good to hear... Interesting that they don't want you affiliated with any political party (the donations criteria for them are very strict and could be a nightmare if PP allowed it).
[About XDA developers] svetius:
It seems that this has been an isolated incident, yes?
[About XDA developers] pulser_g2:
Fairly isolated yes. I know of 2 people it's happened to. One of them took paypal successfully to court over the issue and had them "pwned" by a judge, but this was the UK...

how i can help you i live in panama, and there have alot of people developing good rom and if i donate i want to donate to the people who have develop them
[About XDA developers] georgiajad:
last month some xda members helped me unlock my captivate so i donated to the developers (helroz and clshortfuse) and people who answered questions for me (mainly trusselo). paypal locked my account twice. yesterday i was enjoying my unlocked phone here in china so i remembered how much those guys helped and i tried to donate a small amount to just say "thanks again" and paypal froze my account again. 10 donations to date and 3 paypal account freezes. it is really frustrating when you want to say thanks with a donation but instead the person you are trying to donate to gets annoying emails from paypal. can i fix this problem? 30% of all my donations are getting flagged by paypal. paypal sucks.
[About XDA developers] pulser_g2:
Paypal is a hideous and messed up system... I don't really know if you can fix it. They work very strangely
[About XDA developers] andreapier:
I heard MuscleNerd (iphone jailbreaker) and his team had problem with paypal... I don't know if they managed to have their account re-enabled.

However, happy to hear your account is not blocked any more!
[About XDA developers] georgiajad:
Paypal said they lock my account because im in china. I had already called them last month and told them i would i be in china and they said no problem. At least i got it working again. they have locked my account 30% of the time i have tried to use paypal.

Most people write the app first, then allow people to 'donate' by paying for said app. You can check out the App Monetization Forums. Closing this thread...
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0010:
argh. been trying for a couple days to install the new Vegan RC1. can't get it to work. i get through everything seemingly fine. then we go to the final reboot to bring up the new rom, and it hangs at those adorable viewsonic birds for eternity. Eternity being defined in this case as: 25 minutes was the longest I let it go before trying again.

trying to use using this version:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1031250

with these directions:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=865245

I tried the cm7 ROM too and it did the same thing. I have seen other folks have this problem, but one thing that seems unique to my situation is that if I follow the same steps using the 4349_downgrade ROM... it works like a charm.

what up with that?

On a positive note, I have not bricked it yet!

I have searched this forum a bunch before posting, so hopefully I am not being too much of a noobie dorko.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebadfrog:
you need to use the nvflash files in the development section
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0010:
I started looking at NVFlash to use that, but it didn't seem like it worked with the ClockWork Mod. SO I tried to figure out how to remove the Clockwork Mod and revert to original, but no luck there. If you do not have to remove CWM, are there directions to use NVFlash with CWM?

Thanks!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0010:
AHA! Progress! Got NVFlash to work. Noob mistake maybe, but I think it would help to make the guide clear. But to get into the APX mode to run the NVFlash, you hold power and volume DOWN. Not volume up for the CWM. That was my mistake. Argh! Now trying to put the ROM on....
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0010:
SUCCESS!! NVFlash is what I needed! Thanks to the XDA Devs!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zorachus:
Does anyone know of a firm release date for the Sprint Nexus-S 4G ? Everything I read online is all over the board. I called Sprint stores near me, and they know nothing, one girl said it should be out this Summer, July/August she said :rolleyes: Best Buy Mobile said maybe April 20th, this week. And some online sites say May 8th.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spdwiz18:
I wasz tlod yesterday when I reserved mine that it will be in the next 45 days. I know that is not a firm date but its better then nothing.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zorachus:
k thanks, so it's not due out until June then. For some reason I thought it was coming late April / early May.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jinsoku3g:
I talked to a few best buy reps..Sunday I heard the 19th. Yesterday (I don't know if she slipped on telling me) I was told system shows in stock for tomorrow...so..another rep said no date yet....but...hopefully today...or I might just jump evo. I'm tired of Samsung never sticking to their word...pretty rediculous

Ok guys I will try to find the solution. You all are HDPI, but it works on N1, so it should on any HDPI device. I will look at this issue.

[Android Themes] ZduneX25:
Ok done thanks @Kev :)

HDPI at the first post let's try it out guys :D
[Android Themes] Hitmax117:
installed on mdpi device and is looking pretty good

but why not make this theme different from all the rest, change the black status bar background to a white background?

every theme has a black one and its kinda 'depressing', this theme is ideal to put a white one because of its white looks

just sharing my thoughts ;)
[Android Themes] 0.0:
its working on my g2! nice job. keep up the good work :)

maybe you can take off the LG icon from the status bar? idk, just a suggestion
[Android Themes] steve19137:
ah, i remember things like that :D there is actually an option for that in the system info widget that i use. so this is what my screen ends up looking like:

it looks really good. loving my phone right now :D
[Android Themes] ZduneX25:
@bkmo it's not about the images :/ there is something else what stops showing that images in browser, have no idea what it is.
[Android Themes] bkmo:
I just figured that because they were in drawable-hdpi that it was screwing things up. Any theme I have used that does not have a proper drawable-mdpi setup does not show the checkboxes. Yours is not the only one.
[Android Themes] ZduneX25:
@bkmo same problem on hdpi, so it's not images fault. Moreover Mixed theme have no mdpi images and checkers, but works fine in that theme..
[Android Themes] cristiano95:
does this theme work with lg o1 , mik os cm7 , 6.4.1 beta ?
[Android Themes] cristiano95:
and where is that android manifest located in the root ? i cant fiind it with root explorer ?
[Android Themes] ZduneX25:
@cristiano95 should work on any CM7 build and no other roms. Android manifest why you need it ??? It's located in apk.
[Android Themes] kazempire:
yes it works on mikos cm7 and its a great!
[Android Themes] R3N0V4D0:
can someone port this to zipthemer for mdpi devices, the full theme cause the top bar with batteries don't work..
[Android Themes] Habarug:
Very nice theme, but the pulldown bar doesn't look any good because I have enabled the compact carrier option in cm settings :-S and I want both kind of :-P
[Android Themes] ZduneX25:
@Habarug no support for tablet settings/custom carrier and won't be sorry man.
[Android Themes] bkmo:
I played with custom carrier a while back and had it looking pretty good with resizing the images of the notification toggles down to about 75%. They still look good that way with the old carrier display.
[Android Themes] Habarug:
Could you send it to me or is that "illegal" ?
[Android Themes] ZduneX25:
@bkmo share screens with me??
[Android Themes] bkmo:
All I did was resize your widget icons to 75-80% of what they are now, and they fit for both normal carrier pulldown, and compact as well. You now have them sized to work properly with the 2-toned notification header. But the compact notifications messes up your plan. Scaling down the images makes it work for both.
[Android Themes] ZduneX25:
I know what you meant before, just wanted to see how it looks like in both cases ;)
[Android Themes] bkmo:
I can do that for you in a little while.

Ok here you go with icons at 59X59 .
[Android Themes] ZduneX25:
No rush, would appreciate that ;)
[Android Themes] bkmo:
post above edited with screeneies. ;) The compact carrier is not real compact though with such a large header background. :) But the icons fit better.

If you go bigger they fit closer to the bottom on the normal carrier, and overlap the bottom just a tiny bit on the compact. Might want to try 60-61 .
[Android Themes] dom.l:
tnis might seem like a stupid question, how do you get 4 icon and make them transparent so you see the back dock
[Android Themes] guinnes.s:
one more stupid q, how do i install the theme on cm7?

thanx
[Android Themes] Habarug:
You download it and open it with a fileexplorer like Astro on the phone :-)
[Android Themes] guinnes.s:
ok and what next then,wich one should run first and second?
[Android Themes] Habarug:
? I don't understand you.. after the installation you open it in the app "theme chooser " in your app drawer...
[Android Themes] guinnes.s:
the zip contain 3x apks
[Android Themes] 0.0:
one of the apks is an app. you dont need to have it. its a facebook, myspace, and twitter all-in-one app. the other two apks is the theme. one is for HDPI phones, the other for MDPI. choose the one suitable for your phone.
[Android Themes] kovidd:

@Jaani no it won't it needs theme engine from CM7
[Android Themes] meddistar:
the clock isnt modded just the gingerbread clock *confused*
[Android Themes] ZduneX25:
I downloaded stock Optimus2X rom there was the same clock like in Gingerbread roms, so I just used stock one.
[Android Themes] orrebo:
In the latest elelinux 2.3.4 version for HTC hero so does the add-on theme zip mess up the phone.

In the pin-code and lockscreen there is a blue line. It doesn't always show how much battery there's left. When you turn of the screen it is like turning off an old tv.

It doesn't help to change theme either. The only way to get rid of it, is to flash in the rom again.
[Android Themes] ZduneX25:
I didn't make zip addons, so lets wait till @bkmo will answer you.

I accidentally pressed thanks button at your post I didn't mean it. Just wanted to quote you.

1) install your widgets on your own I didn't add battery feature,

2) it's default animation in gingerbread roms,
[Android Themes] orrebo:
Ok.

I now it was someone else who made the add-on.

The problem with the screen has appeard anyway so that must be something with the rom.
[Android Themes] jdwhite87:
:O beautiful theme... really enjoying this one.

think you could add these two icons to your to do list?
[Android Themes] bkmo:
Some of the latest rom updates have problems with the morphs. When I find out why I will fix it.
[Android Themes] orrebo:
Sounds great :)
[Android Themes] PAULO76:

Same problem here, I'm running cm7 2.3.4 on LG optimus one with 0.8.5 Lp+ launcher
[Android Themes] ZduneX25:
@PAULO76 @alextirca go to LP settings and pick dock froyo wide then remove all your shortcuts from the dock and finally add new shortcuts, but as icon set transparent icon (set custom icon from gallery - transparent icon).

You can find transparent icon somewhere inside the thread can't remember the page.

@casual864 I don't have hdpi phone, so you know it's hard to fill all of it moreover we have two types of hdpi: 480x800 and 480x854
