Your suggestions, please?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Hare4:
Maybe we could post a link of some of their other rovs they have made for some other devices. Maybe some other users would see stuff they like? I'm just trying to help, sorry if I'm an annoyance.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] beatblaster:
If I'm not mistaken these links have already been posted. I can definitely help you with netarchy's kernel's though. You can find his EVO kernels here and his Nexus S kernel here.

You're not annoying :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bignate78:
I know no one asked that's what I was saying. I did happin to see somewhere where someone did ask, that way he could make roms/kernals, but personally the proud don't ask for what they can do themselves just saying, not against anyone or a site for this cause trust me I'm still waiting to be able to purchase mine haha gotta use my gf's upgrade and she'll get my cappy....hopefully next week. But in other words I love all the work being done and thanx to the devs for that
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Hare4:
whats the donation totals for these devs as of now?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] beatblaster:
Click their donation links in the OP to get a status. If anyone can donate an upgrade purchase that would bring us much closer to our goals.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Hare4:
Can you post the links to the original post?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Hare4:
I dont see a total when I click on their links.... Hmmmmm
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
Haven't looked at this thread for a while until today and I gotta say, I'm surprised at some of the backhanded remarks towards devs in here. If you don't want to donate, it's probably best to just say nothing at all. Also, to those who think I was simply handed a phone, maybe you don't realize that I asked to be removed from this thread as soon as I received enough ($155) to purchase the phone. I still spent $430 of my own money and have since spent countless hours giving back to the community. I will now return the favor and send a little something towards netarchy from donations I've received since buying the phone. I urge others to donate as well.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Hare4:
Very generous my man! Thanks for the work. :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rjan22:
Dude just go to att when her upgrade is near like a month or 2 she can upgrade already, there are only strict on iPhone upgrades, my sister's upgrade is due in 2 months but we did get his upgrade last 2 wks because I accompanied her in going to an at&t branch that has a slow business, just talk to a manager sales they will work it out, just don't go to a att branch that is very busy.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bignate78:
We have and we even called AT&T and they said they couldn't do anything till 30 days prior. Besides I don't want to go through the store or web cause the phone is cheaper at Best Buy or elsewhere
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
i know i made comments that could beread as critism towards a dev. something along the line of saying id rather netarchy get the donations then so and so..

im sorry i said that. it comes out really bad. in actuallity i kinda feel bad for the devs involved that people have all these expectations of them to drop everything but such and such phone and ask when they will get a rom. the dev i didnt name but was refering to was actually mikey mike, and i wasnt mad at him, dont dislike his work, and dont have any problem with people liking his work, i actually identify with people having expectations and hated the whole situation, and also though it was a little strange we had 3 competent rom builders and nobody that specializes in kernels but people couldnt wait to give more money to mikey and netarchey is still far from actually getting a device. well i donated to netarchy and with razor in the mix now im not as concerned withthe situation, will donate to him as well.

my frustration was actually with the comunity, even if it is irrational and came out totally differently, i usually defend the devs when people accuse then of getting handouts or ask for eta's. im usually more level headed but my recent insomnia is getting the better of me. i dont enjoy makeing an a$$hole out of myself where i cant remove the comment, but it happens.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] shadow65781:
Do you like your Infuse? Would you like more things to flash

Please donate.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] rjan22:
so what's going on with this.

Any progress?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
Donations have pretty much completely died. No one has donated in the past few days since I did.

Probably about time for netarchy to make a decision. He could put the $180 towards an Infuse or issue refunds.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Hare4:
How much was raised for him?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
im am about to donate, but it doesnt look good for further donations. people are looking pretty satisfied with what's going on now.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Hare4:
The more devs, the more goodies for our phones!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] beatblaster:
Well, as satisfied as they'll get without CM or MIUI. What people are failing to understand is that it takes more than a couple talented devs working together to get us the necessary kernels and ROMs coded. Until then, it'll just be more "anyone know when CM7/MIUI is coming to the Infuse?" questions and more wasted time with guys like you and I repeating the same stuff over and over and over again.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] beatblaster:
So, netarchy is (almost) half way to his goal (he's at $230 right now).
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bignate78:
They should hook it up now or if anyone has an upgrade cause Best Buy has Infuse on sale for $99 this week!!!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] XCellPhoneSalesRep:
Dam, now i feel even worse. I did notice this thread until just now. Thread must have been dead for a few days when i posted the CM equipment donation thread. To be honest, i usually never browse any of the general sections in any devices, just stick around in the dev section hitting refresh over and over until an update pops up.

I'm really sorry guys :(
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
Netarchy is a good kernel dev, but donating/lending a phone to a member of team hacksung is still a better way to get CM7. I think you made the right choice, unless you want to donate even more lol. You are the most donating guy I've ever seen.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Hare4:
So gtg, you think teamhacksung would be better?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
Already been discussed. No need to discuss it again here. In short, for porting CM7, yes. For just badass kernels, netarchy is the one you want to donate to.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyMike01:
And quality kernels are more important than CM.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] XCellPhoneSalesRep:
To who? Im sorry, not trying to start an argument but thats your opinion. You might want a quality kernel(s) and there are a lots of people that would want CM because that just opens up more room for modification. You, yourself might go for quality but others go for quantity ;) You might want to get 2-3 days out of a fully charged battery where as i don't mind carrying 2-3 extra batteries to get me threw just 1 day.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] beatblaster:
You're joking. YOU HAVE TO BE JOKING. Yeah I'm just gonna assume you're joking.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] kool2zero:
I think they are mutually exclusive. You don't need a special kernel to run CM but you may need one to get the complete benefit of CM. I don't really care about overvolting or whatever. I just want a stable kernel and if we have that I think CM7 should get priority. Then we can worry about the kernel.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] beatblaster:
You can't have CM7 without a Gingerbread kernel.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] kool2zero:
Ok i stand corrected :-D

I just want CM7 :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyMike01:
The one day I tried CM (and the last) I got 6 hours of mostly standby battery.

That, combined with the horrifyingly bad stock apps, sea of useless and stupid menu options, and difficulty of setting up basic things like long press to search or getting the google apps is why.

CM is the single most overrated thing around here.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] kornklown69:
Im ready for your ROM mikey lol
[Samsung Infuse 4G] XCellPhoneSalesRep:
Your right but MIUI is not and the only reason i want CM7 is to get MIUI going.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] beatblaster:
No need to stand corrected. I just want to infect you with knowledge :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] XCellPhoneSalesRep:
May i please be infected too?!?!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] kool2zero:
I understand your frustration but several hundred thousands of people use and swear by CM7. I have used and swear by it as well. While the stock apps that Google created could be dreadful at times, CM provides a clean slate for those who wish to customize to their hearts content. That's the genius of the CM/Stock experience, the user can make it what s/he wants without extras that the developer throws in. I'm sorry about your battery issue but the rest is more of a person's preference.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Hare4:
Is there any progress on anything relating to CM?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] XCellPhoneSalesRep:
We should have CM7 boot up on the Infuse by January.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Hare4:
Haha. Might as well hit ebay up for a new phone.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] netarchy:
Except that you tend to run into manufacturer warranty issues when you buy from ebay (ie; if the seller is not an official reseller they may not honor the warranty), otherwise I'd agree.

I don't think anyone would want to pick up an unsubsidized phone off ebay only to find it's doa, and then find that the manufacturer won't honor the warranty because it was sold by billybob42769, who was not an official reseller for the phone, as opposed to a retail establishment like Best Buy, Amazon, an AT&T store, etc.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] pceasar:
Ok outside all the differences in opinion and minor bickering lol (in all honesty the reason CM team is big is because of their formality their thorough testing nightlies and documenting of issues and their work and plus its an actual team)

LETS GET THIS DONATION PARTY GOING AGAIN!!!!

Stop being cheap skates people its only 5 or 20 buck, thats a beer at your local pub or a star bucks. We also need to get the firefly donations going too, only 24 bucks??? anyhow I've donated!

http://www.phoenix-hq.com/firefly/index.html
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Frooty:
I plan on donating $20 to netarchy at the end of the month when I get paid. Until then I don't have enough money to :(
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bassistguy:
Donated to Netarchy. Hope it helps! His donations are up to $350 now!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] netarchy:
Wow. I am legitimately blown away by that. The way this community is pooling together to get developers the phone to work on is seriously inspiring (and you all have already managed to get two developers set up!). I've never seen anything like it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bassistguy:
Well we all appreciate the time and effort all of you put in to developing custom ROM's, kernels, etc. It is all very much appreciated!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
alot of people thought this phone would be a flop on xda because on a hardware level it is a sgs4g with more ram and a screen so big it is almost silly, the specs dont appeal to the developers much more than many phones that came out last year. but its a big seller and the users want mods like on any other device. it turned out that we wound up with a great bunch of devs but someone with your kernel experience will definitely set this apart from the sgs and nexus s.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] netarchy:
Looking at the current totals in regards to the effort to get me an infuse to develop on, it looks like we're over halfway there (63% at the time of this writing).

I'm gonna let the donation effort on my behalf run through the end of July, at which point I'll see where the total stands, and decide if it will be better for me to make up the difference towards picking up the infuse unsubsidized (depending on how close to the goal the effort is at the time), or to issue refunds.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Hare4:
We need to keep this going.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Frooty:
I just donated $20 to netarchy. Hopefully we can get him the rest of the way there!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] beatblaster:
You guys are great! Cmon team! Let's keep it going!!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Matt-Helm:
Donated $20

Pm him and suggest that. He would only need to put 30 dollars out.

Just sent $50 netarchy's way! lets make this happen!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] netarchy:
Ok folks, I came across an opportunity to get a new infuse 4g with a 2 year warranty for a little more than had been raised in the fundraiser, so I have gone ahead and pulled the trigger and ordered it.

It should be arriving next week, at which point I can start working on kernel sources and have something to test with. No more donations to the fundraiser are necessary for myself, please direct your fundraising efforts towards the devs who still need to raise the funds to acquire the phone.

Thank you all very much for the support, I am looking forward to seeing what we can do with this phone.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] kornklown69:
I know people want a new rom weve been stuck with the same 3 for awhile they are great but i have a flashing addiction donate!!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
Our community has plenty of members here. Time for some of you to step up to the plate. It's a great opportunity to get into modding because with only 3 ROMs and 3 kernels, people are a bit starved and will be more than willing to try anything you put out.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
So what is the problem with the 3 that are out there. Please tell us what outstanding bug has been ignored by the ROM devs or what feature you want that is missing and hasn't been addressed in any way.

Having ROMs for the sake of having ROMs is a stupid idea. I'm actually very happy that we have only 3 ROMs currently, as it makes it a lot easier to choose one and keeps the quality high. With too many devices it seems to be, "look I can cook!" followed by a crap ROM coming out where the dev keeps throwing stuff against the wall and looking to see what sticks. End result is there's so much crap out there that finding a good, solid, stable ROM is extremely difficult.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] kornklown69:
If you read what i said i said they are great, I have tried all three I just want to see more people get involved with the infuse i mean this IS a development community...where developers go to develop...this is not a we only need core roms system its built on individuality an uniqueness and meant to have diversity....so thank you for negative feedback on my post and please have a better attitude next time :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xtremekilla09:
Its ok, I understand both sides, but for some reason I feel like the kid in high school who is the last to be picked on the team and both teams have decided they rather play without me...lol (I am just kidding)

Anyway, I think I am leaning towards refunding the donations I have got so far and maybe try to make a ROM without a device and see what happens.

I will work with kornklown69 to test stuff out.

I will have some time in the upcoming week, so I will try to get started then.

Good Day! :D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] kornklown69:
Yes!!

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Hare4:
Bummmmpppp
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Nopcodex90:
Wow you guys are really serious. Half the donations Ive seen from XDA went for nothing in my "opinion". You guys bought devices for people and most of the people went MIA. I got this device , cause I saw the specs and knew its what I wanted. This place has gone crazy. I have to agree with Entropy , because for the Vibrant there are way to many **** Roms out there. When I started devloping for TeamWhiskey( NextGen v2 has over 19,000 DLs , my numbers speak for them selves) they gave me a strict set of guidelines in which I must follow in order to devlop. For all the **** trads with flashing issues, knock it off , its just a ****in phone.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tyshemi:
X1,000,000
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Yup. All of the people who are actually doing work with the Infuse bought it for themselves. So far I haven't seen anything come out of the "buy someone a phone" donations. I believe the "buy someone a beer" donations to the likes of bedwa, gtg, and nop have been far more effective. Which reminds me, I need to pay for a few beers.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] beatblaster:
So let me get this straight - just because they received donations they have to work on your schedule?

Gimmie a break guys. Everyone knows the devs are waiting for Gingerbread. If some devs are not - THAT'S AWESOME! But for the others who are - that's their choice.

Either way it goes, I agree with Nop on one very important point: It's just a phone.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
i like this community because it is smaller. i havent been able to learn in the captivate forums, here i occasionally get questions answered but it seems the things i want to do are harder than i am ready for as it isnt a simple port from a sgs phone, i cant sit too long at a computer and i dont have that kind of experience, just a decent understanding of certain things and a lot of exposure as my brother is a good self taught programmer.

guys, if you are not happy with the results of the donations, well there was no contract in place, sorry but that's life and the internet.

gtg was my first choice in donations because he contributed and showed interest without owning the device, he was also gracious enough to sell other devices to get the infuse sooner and not take advantage.

as far as the others go, well i hope razor is not mia because i had a good fealing about that guy, also made contributions with no device. it is too soon to judge netarchy but i cant help but feel like mikey mike was not the best choice. i like the guy but i dont think he has the experience and had a big lack of interest in the device, he is only here because we approached him, if people put that kind of pressure on me id flat out refuse! i hope he's not just taking advantage. i hope he prove me wrong when gingerbread is here.

flame me, block me, argue, what ever, i dont care! i hope my comments push him to do better work when gb comes around, i want to be wow'd!

nop and entropy and bedwa and other devs, i havent been able to donate what i feel would be right as i have no income, i only do odd jobs when work is available, i understand the animosity and will try to make it up if i can. it must be hard to see hundreds raised for people that haven't contributed and then people take advantage from the people that are producing things actively. i hope it gets better!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyMike01:
It's a marathon, not a sprint.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyMike01:
I don't need the whole $550, necessarily. It's just a reference point to how much it costs.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] beatblaster:
That's even better! I'll continue my donation-rant accordingly then (every chance I see to get a donation you can bet I'm redirecting them here).
[Samsung Infuse 4G] pixelkore:
BAM! Done. Donated. gtg and MikeyMike.

This support for the Infuse community/Devs is moving along fast. :)

Hey beat i started a new thread about Xtremekilla09 check out his work hes a part of team phoenix and has amazing work i dont see a need for another donation thread so if i get a donation like would you add it to your post since i do remember some members wanting team phoenix work over on the infuse and a few have mentioned firefly to come over

netarchy from the EVO and Nexus S forums stated via Twitter:

"@BeatBlaster_ I'll work on any android device I own (and thus can test on)"

He's a fantastic kernel dev and I think it'd be great to see his work over here.

Ok everyone, its time to pony up for all the great roms we have for the captivate.

If you flashed a custom rom and havent yet given back to the devs, now is the time. It takes just a few minutes to setup a paypal acct.and give what you can be it $1 $2 $5 $10 or more if you can but please give something back if you havent yet, please do so now.

I would also like to make a suggestion, after this phone is old and ragged I propose it be sold and the proceeds given to xda to help keep this site up and running.

just a thought.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] pixelkore:
Just like how forums have monitors,I like the idea of developer coordinators (DC's). A group were users go to request development for their devices. Most importantly where developers go to DC's for funds, etc. DC's would help setup and stream line the process and keep other safe from just making donations to unknowns. I apologize if I am blabbling its late, I hope I am making scenes, but just my two cents.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
if you get a kernel to build successfully let me know what you had to do. i had little luck. will try again this weekend though.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] beatblaster:
