[Epic 4G General] cadams14:
Just helped a little, since he has helped us all out. Never used the midnight rom before. What filesystem does it run off of, and Kernel?

[Epic 4G General] z3r0d3vil:
Thanks for the info. I'm serious n00b and I really appreciate all the work the devs here at XDA do and have done for me in helping me with my issues. Glad to donate!
[Epic 4G General] LuffyPSP:
I dont know who's rob, but for someone looking on the codes and developing stuffs, he's in my same field of work, cuz I'm a software engineer student and i know how it is to lose a gadget!

Get the Nexus S bro! it was my desired phone too but i have a Desire!

Sent 2 USD, I know its not much but hey I'm a student~~ :D
[Epic 4G General] suppliesidejesus:
I am not an Epic/Nexus S owner, nor am I on Sprint, but I was very moved by this. Donation made.
[Epic 4G General] epic4GEE:
I've seen a lot of post like this from people that don't care about the epic or sprint.

I would thank you all, but xda won't let me. The best I can do is say thanks to all the outsiders that are showing support for Rob........thanks a lot guys!!! Very appreciative;)
[Epic 4G General] Captainkrtek:
After having spent time taking care of kids with Autism I can only imagine how hard it must be for him to get a break from all the stress, and having a channel to relieve that stress (such as developing) is vital to a healthy life. I have sen't in my $20 as well, hope all gets better for him and his family :)

I have $16.77 in my checking account. I have to get diapers for my 1 yr old because I only have 3 left. She has a stomach bug and has been having .. well.. we've had to change her very frequently the last couple days. I don't get paid till friday so I'm broke ass.. (I have 5 children at home too BTW).. but I can't just sit here and read all the posts without contributing something.

I have posted a link to this thread on my Facebook page and asked all my friends to take a look at his blog as well. Hopefully my small contribution will help in some way.

Kudos to everyone that's helped.. This is the true meaning of community. "coming together for a common cause".. amazes me like nothing else can.

:)
[Epic 4G General] klownin816:
I apologize for the low amount I donated ($15). I'm going through some tough times myself, but this is the sort of event that everyone should participate in for their fellow community members. Kudos to everyone involved in helping PTFDMedic! Good luck man! We're all behind you.

and are an inspiration to many.

I was on kidney dialysis for almost 10 years

i cant feel your pain but, i had a rough time of my own

[Epic 4G General] ptfdmedic:
Thank you doesn't seem to quite say it :)
[Epic 4G General] shabbypenguin:
midnight-nexus could say thank you enough.. you know for all those poor guys on the nexus s 4g >.>
[Epic 4G General] Paleryder:
Well we feel the same way, we have all been fortunate enough to benefit from your works. I got a glimpse of who you were and your work ethic when you answered "The vocal minority" and took your time to throw together the journaling on builds. LOL Enjoy your NS4G cant wait to see you over there and I'm available to help in whatever way I can. Donation sent
[Epic 4G General] sniperkill:
I love what you are doing here. All you guys (ptfdmedic, ACS, Bonsi, etc) are great! I wish all the best t all you guys. Donation sent.

Rob, you rock!! My best to your family!!
[Epic 4G General] QuestingHero:
been using midnight rom for awhile now, and have been meaning to donate for awhile. His (and all the other Devs), roms have made this phone a truly epic phone. Donation sent. Keep up the great work Rob and God bless.
[Epic 4G General] bryanfritz1:
With the way this thread is going his whole family is going to have nexus s'. I have to say that this is a truly amazing thing to read. Congrats commmunity you have just made up for all the eta's and lacking of reading. :-)

[Epic 4G General] In The Office:
Rob:

As one who has had the pleasure of "taking advantage" of your fine work, and who has long had keen admiration for the unending patience and devotion you share with your family, it's a pleasure and honor for me to kick in a wee bit for this wonderful cause.

Thank you for your hard work on the Midnight Rom series.

But more than that, far more than that, may peace and strength be with you and your amazing family as you daily battle the unfortunate challenges which you're all dealing with.

I wish you all the best of good fortune.

Cheers,

Ito
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
Didn't have a lot to give, but I did what I could. Can't just sit back.
[Epic 4G General] coryshad:
Sent what I could, you deserve it.

thank you for your great work...

Looks like I'm going to have to buy a nexus s 4g now lol
[Epic 4G General] cajunflavoredbob:
It already made it to the front page. As nice as this all is, once should be enough, eh? :) If it hadn't been published, I never would have found it, since I'm a Windows Mobile user.
[Epic 4G General] dreamsforgotten:
Ok when I said this is for the whole community, this isn't what I had in mind. I was referring to the whole Epic community lol. This is nothing short of amazing, I'm very glad it's turning out that way. I'm seeing people who don't even use an android phone donating. *speechless as I'm sure Rob is too*. We got people from everywhere, the U.S. and afar pitching in. I was real nervous we wouldn't make the quota for the Nexus but I don't think that's going to be a problem now. I want to take the time now to tell everyone who isn't in a position to donate, please don't feel bad for not being able to donate. You are not the minority, this economy is effecting all of us. It is tough times for many many people out there and just stopping in letting him know you support him is more than enough. The last thing this thread should do doing to anybody, is making them feel bad for not contributing. You are contributing by taking your time to read it, and by passing on the message. Another special thanks to svetius, and mikechannon the mods who approved this thread, donated themselves, and tweeted the thread on twitter. Can you ask for more from 2 mods who don't even know the man? It seems there are plenty good here it just takes something like this to expose it. Hell I was impressed when ACS, and Bonsai joined to help Midnight. That's all three competitors, (loosely just sounds funny saying it) together. Goes to show we have competition out there but its not that serious we can all bond together when there is a good cause.
[Epic 4G General] ptfdmedic:
Dreams,

I haven't been able to speak with you today but I wanted to say Thank You my friend for this extraordinarily act of kindness to both me and my family. This will have such a positive impact on our lives. Thanks again. I hopefully catch you in the morning...

Thanks everyone for everything...
[Epic 4G General] dreamsforgotten:
That right there is all I need, to know I affected you in a good way bro, you already know I told you doing this for you is enough for me. I don't need a speech from you I want you to sit in that computer chair, a couple kids in your lap, and see how much love there is out there for you and yours XD. Bet you thought a lil over a week ago when I hit you on PM, and told you I'd put that phone in your hands, you though it was bs. I let you believe it too, that this wasn't going to happen. I just wish you could have answered your front door, accepted a UPS package, and opened it. Nice tiny little nexus S right there not even knowing why!!! This works too, at least the community can be a part of it I knew there was those out there who would have felt bad that they didn't get to contribute with us. This works out for the better, even better than expected!
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
This is awesome. Dreams your a good man. Rob your a good man too. We need more guys like you in this world. I'm glad this community could come together like this. There is so much more important things thanks a phone. Like this. Being able to contribute to someone who has done so much. Thank you Rob. Your story is such an inspiration to me and my family. Donation coming when I get home from vacation in a day. Once again Dreams this is the nicest thing that I have seen on here. God bless you.

Sent From My Evo Killer!
[Epic 4G General] Longcat14:
If only I had the money to donate, I would. :/

I honestly don't even know what to say, just saying thank you for developing for the Epic users (Vibrant user myself), so that they aren't stuck with something bad is amazing. I hope you enjoy your Nexus S, and if I get ANY money before the quota is hit, you know I will donate. :]
[Epic 4G General] Elixis:
Just donated - good luck with everything. I sincerely wish you the best!

I don't own a Nexus or Epic and I'm not a rich man, but I will be donating a little something when I get paid. I hope you enjoy the phone and everything works out for you, sir.
[Epic 4G General] OneStepAhead:
just sent a donation. if someone can get me his address I can also donate some Nexus S TPU cases from my website tpu-cases.com
[Epic 4G General] swear0730:
I'm figuring that there probably is enough for the Nexis S 4G by now so I'm kicking $60 for 6 months of Sprint's "rich & famous" fee for smartphone owners.

I'm so cheap that even though I've had a 650, 700p, Touchpro2 and now an Epic that I finally pryed open my wallet and purchased Find My Droid on the market for $1. I had no trouble making this donation.

I've been using midNIGHT ROM since January (I think). I know it was the first ROM I flashed after screwing up the courage to root my phone.

Thanks Rob! You've made a great phone perfect for me. Love and Happiness to you and yours.
[Epic 4G General] dreamsforgotten:
Send him a pm
[Epic 4G General] anderson620:
I've been using midNIGHT pretty consistently since rooting my Epic and at the same time started following lostandtired.com. I just wanted to say that, having three kids of my own, I can only imagine the difficulty that this family faces everyday. The fact that Rob has continued to contribute to the community and be so helpful and forthcoming is truly a testament to the kind of man he is. This and every other community could use more people like him.

Thank you, Rob. From all of us.
[Epic 4G General] supercluver:
Got the payment this morning for those accessories I was selling, so my donation has now been sent. Thanks again Rob for all you do for this community, and I look forward to seeing what you do with a Nexus S (especially now that I have one of those)
[Epic 4G General] contradude:
I'll also be donating as soon as I get paid if he doesn't already have a nexus s 4g in his hands. Rob is one of my personal heroes at the moment, considering what's going on in his life, and I'd love to be able to help him out some.
[Epic 4G General] dewey1973:
Made a donation. Thanks Rob for your awesome work. Just let us know what phone you start developing for so we can follow you when we can!
[Epic 4G General] fpssiz:
This is why I love stuff like this because no matter how much manufacturers and phone developers mess with this type of community it doesn't matter to us one bit. We look out for each other and repay with respect and determination making sure everyone is happy and thats the best IMO. Mine and my families heart goes out to your family and hope for the best to come on the Nexus S revolution. Keep up the good work.

[Epic 4G General] ptfdmedic:
As I stated earlier my internet connect is not doing so hot today. So I wanted to get this in before it dies again. I just wanted to say a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone for all the support. I was able to pick up a Nexus this afternoon (and I am very happy to finally retire the good'ol Pre) thanks to ALL of your generosity. I have told Dreams and k0nane both that this is simply the nicest thing anyone has EVER done for me and my family(......sigh...waiting for reconnection.......ok I'm back on.) and I am truly humbled. Accepting help does not always been easy for me. I have the whole "my family, my responsibility" thing going on. (lost connection....dammitt I HATE time warner cable)...

All right I'm going to stop there so I can send this while I can.....

Thank you ALL very much for reading my story, supporting Autism Awareness and All of this.....

Thank you..................:)
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
Yay! Congrats!
[Epic 4G General] k4v2n:
just came across this thread (thnx to niteowl), so based on the post above im guessing the goal has been met? cool, congrats.
[Epic 4G General] dreamsforgotten:
congratulations bro! Now you can reconnect with your fan base soon as you learn about fast boot lol hint hint drivers are synced in the android sdk run the android icon for the avd manager and select google drivers hook your phone up and choose the driver file in the menu
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
There is no set goal. I'm sure if you continue to donate he will know what to do with it.
[Epic 4G General] dreamsforgotten:
+1 on this I know you would definitely be helping the family eventhough he got the phone now! If you feel like contributing still go right on ahead. but congratulations on everyone helping this mans dream come true and this fast!
[Epic 4G General] ksmullins88:
yea just cuz he got a nexus doesnt mean we get to stop donating lol..

btw medic how do you like it??

i bet its so much easier without the stupid touchwiz.

wish you would make us one last Epic GingerNight ROM before you left us =[
[Epic 4G General] Teamb:
Thank you

I usually don't engage in the forum since all this is new to me but I Donated with no hesitation...Since I benefited from your work since January...and been very happy with my Epic...Always ran strong...Every time I wondered off there was a new rom to update to:). Thats a Dev devoted to the cause

Your good role model as a husband/father...I respect & admire the devotion you have bringing awareness to us on Autism. Thats a man dedicated to the cause!

Thanks to PTFDMedic, Dreams, Bonsai Team, ACS & the Mods for making this possible.

Looking forward to more great work from you guys.

[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
I really wish I could donate. But, I'm 17. So, I guess the only thing I can do is thank you verbaly. Thank you for trying to educate people on autism, and for dedicating your time to help others.

[sig]I'm close to root, im patiently waiting on those puzzles[sig]
[Epic 4G General] MДЯCЦSДИT:
What rom will u use when u root?
[Epic 4G General] aleph23:
Bump via donation! :)
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
Idk, I'll probably stay stock for a while, all I need is the puzzle lock. And maybe the 1% battery mod. I haven't looked into the roms yet.

[sig]I'm close to root, im patiently waiting on those puzzles[sig]
[Epic 4G General] dkechitkid:
Meant to do this yesterday but I got caught up. Anyways there's no such thing as a late donation. This thread just reset my "Ppl 's Internet alter egos really suck" theory. For that reason and for your hard work for the community....enjoy.
[Epic 4G General] ptfdmedic:
You guys are all Awesome. Thank you....
[Epic 4G General] dkechitkid:
Is it ok if I copy your signature? I assume I can (in the name of your cause and all)...but just in case, I'll ask.
[Epic 4G General] eoliveira711:

Meant to do this when dreams first mentioned it to me like 2 weeks ago! Sorry it took so long......Of all the Devs i feel you deserve this the most. You encompass the true meaning of what this is all about through your respect, hard work, and your willingness to work together with other devs. Your attitude is refreshing and you and your wife are some of the strongest people i have ever had the privileged to read about!...I read a LOT of posts on here although i dont always comment ;)

You do so much as it is. Her daughter was just diagnosed with rapid hearing loss and scoliosis. We are having a huge benefit sale tomorrow here to help get her a back brace. She turns 14 next month, an 8th grader in all honors classes. Her two boys r hard little workers. There actually huge teenage boys now. She is gonna start following your site next week after the sale.

Sad to hear about konane. But we will all make do. I'm glad to know u guys. Everyone here. Its awesome that this place touches on things that exist so far out of the realm of android, yet influence our lives so much.

I'm setting up a dev laptop to try and dig in with you guys this summer. I'm stuck with my epic, nook and wifeys hero for a while. She's up for the next upgrade so I'm not going anywhere, lol.

Just thanks for what you do bro... she's my wifes cuz, but raised her lik a big sister... our kids r very close.
[Epic 4G General] Etrick:
