[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] papasmurph:
This might be like the question "how much do you tip at a restaurant" because its very suggestive based on personal biases, etc. But at least there is that 18% base consideration. SO, I'm asking what is a typical donation made to the awesome devs who give us these ROMs to play around with? I want to contribute but I don't want to go so low as to be insulting and of course i'm not going to go too high either.

So for those that have donated and/or received donations, what is your opinion?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byrong:
I've personally donated everything from $2 - $20

I really don't think there's a wrong answer, and I don't believe there's such a thing as "too small" of a donation. I don't see how anyone could be insulted by receiving a donation, even if it's paltry. Little amounts add up, and anyone would rather get 100 donations of $1 than 2 donations of $10.

Just as a heads up - most of the donations I've made have not been met with any thanks; only a few people have ever said anything. And no, it wasn't correlated to the amount I gave. I only bring it up to tell my experience.

I don't take it as an insult if I don't get thanks; devs are busy! That said, if someone thanks me for a donation, it certainly increases the probability that I'll send them repeat donations in the future.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lonnyrs:
i think 5 bucks is the perfect donation. won't be missed by you at all. and if you want recognition for your gift, then it's not a gift. i personally give donations in 5 dollar increments.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davwman:
I'll let a new less developed rom for lack of words, bake. I'll then follow it for a while and when it seems like it cant go any further I'll flash it. If its up to snub and the dev is interacting with the thread then I'll send a donation. As far as amounts, its all up to you. There is no right or wrong amount. When I was over on the captivate side, there was a member that sent somewhere near $130 to a dev because his captivate bricked and he was going to stop developing an insane rom. Which he then bought a new phone and continued developing the rom. your guess is as good as mine If his phone actually bricked. based off his sincerity in interaction with the community, it probably did. Thats enough of my ranting, you get the point.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] papasmurph:
Thanks for the feedback guys. Good points all around.
[Intercept General] Ignorance1:
http://forum.sdx-developers.com/index.php?topic=7108.0

On the original post by inxane he says to 2. Download the recovery and put it in C:\Program Files (Program Files (x86) if you are on 64 bit)\Samsung Electronics\SWUpgrade\Models\Binary. DELETE THE FILE ALREADY IN THERE OR YOU MAY PERMA-BRICK YOUR INTERCEPT...

Is the recovery just the cm01 tar file at the top because this link >http://www.sdx-downloads.com/devs/inxane/intercept/recoveryv14.tar can no longer be found.

sorry first time working with the intercept, i was going to try adb method but i heard the recovery goes away after you reboot.
[Intercept General] alpha-niner64:
From my experience, the CM01.tar file needs the recovery.rfs extracted. When you download SWUpgrade, you want to delete the file inside the Binary Folder and replace it with the recovery.rfs which happens to be Inxane's CM Recovery. The latest should be 2.5.1.0.

The reason it exists as a .tar file is becuse CM Recovery recognizes system files as .tar extensions. So if there was a case you wanted to reflash CM Recovery for some reason, you can do it inside CM Recovery so long as it's in the .tar container. Otherwise, you need the recovery.rfs file on the PC side.

From my experience, If you move CM01.tar to the Binary folder and run SWUpgrade, the upgrade won't start and it'll just hang.
[Intercept General] caderyn19:
THANK YOU!!! I was wondering why it was hanging/just rebooting...

[Wrong link! My bad!]

I read that the Intercept can re-install it's stock recovery after rebooting the phone.

Recovery

Read this too

Basically someone is suggesting to just flash a root kernel (SlapKernel) with SW Upgrade. I'm going to try it out right now.

[EDIT] Flashing SlapKernel worked fine (and I wasn't rooted before...), and it's way more responsive so far. I suggest you follow these instructions

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megabiteg:
first, I suggest to drop it right here.

Second, OPEN SOURCE is what it means, people can use code from anyone and make it better, if not, lets just all jump the ship to @pple or Micro$oft and end of story.

People are over reacting about copy - past - modify... I'll tell you something, if I were a Dev and someone uses my code for anything, I would feel pleased and happy because that would mean that what I have produced is helping empower others in their quest for knowledge.

As long as they have permission, give credit and It follows the rules of the forum.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crawrj:
In my opinion I say yes as long as the other developers don't mind. I think that is the whole spirit of android and open source. I I take something from someone else and change it and reuse it than that is my business. If I take something from someone else and don't change it but include it in my rom or theme than as long as the developer that created doesn't care than who cares. But that is just my 2 cents and I have no idea what the relation is to i3.

Absolutely... if you made an adjustment that made the piece of work better you share it and hopefully someone else will build on that progress.... That is what open source is about. He gave credit where credt was due. The problem is that some of the devs are forgetting that open source isn't about who releases a "final" product. Its about all of us having the ability to make a better product. If you don't want people using ur work then you shouldn't be part of an open source community.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shane6374:
For 13 I think he handled the pressure great. It just got to be too much on him. I think most of us would have crack after what the community did to him.

Meh, this ends here. I'm not sure if I like this attitude of "copy freely" that I'm sensing from this thread. The thing you guys are completely missing, is that we try to protected the producers and their material as much as we try to protect the community.

Marcusant was banned and will stay banned due to the following 2 facts:

1) He was already on the radar for taking from a donationware ROM which isn't allowed on XDA.

2) He copied, nearly word for word, the OP from Rodderick and only changed the files displayed in the diff below:

Numerous users flagged this, as more than a couple users were participating in the development of the OCR. In protecting the community, we did what we thought fit correctly based on Marcusants previous history and based on rule 12 itself. BTW, him creating a puppet account didn't help his case.

Rule 12 for whoever wants to note(see bold to answer your question about "cp from other developers":

Notice that firstly, this says "based" and not fully kanged. Second, you MUST seek permissions first, before anything. Otherwise, it's open season for us.

With that, I note, drop it.

So my screen broke (the digitizer only) so im able to see the screen, and the phone boots perfectly, I want to know if anyone knows a way i can Backup the whole system or program data at least? I cant access Titanium, cant access ROM Manager, and well since there is no Clockwork Flash or whatnot, i cant do a backup to SD =/

EDIT: Ok. im brainstorming, I just flashed NVFlash, I used external, so ill back up from there, and try to restore on the other phone. ADB is enabled now, so if anyone knows their way around ADB, maybe pull all the files and push into the new phone? Any ideas? Thanks Guys.

Sadly, from playing around, I Reset my phone and could not back up the data, just files. oh well. =/

SOLVED MYSELF. LOL

So in case anyone runs through this problem, this i what i did to recover the files/and backup!

Recover Files:

1. Install NVFlash internal

2. Open Clockwork and MOUNT, and you should be able to recover photos/music, etc.

Recover Everything else:

1. Re-do NVFlash external

2. Open Clockwork and BACKUP (it backs up to SD CARD), and then just RESTORE from the new phone.

[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
I have enjoyed the WP7 OS since launch (on and off with my DVP) and have been excited about Nokia making WP7 devices. Like a lot of people I also thought the N9 was a good looking handset and Meego just about a perfect fit. There are those who think Nokia should ditch WP7 and go with Meego, not surprising since it does look good. But after watching this video walkthrough http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWDuthCxwkw&feature=related and paying attention I came to the conclusion that WP7 is definitely on par, and in some areas superior to Meego and it makes Nokia's decision to go WP7 a solid one.

First thing I noticed was the main application launcher was basically the same grid of icons we have seen before. Comparing that to WP7's live tiles I think the WP7 solution comes out on top as you are able to get information just by looking at the screen without having to open an application. The N9's notification screen probably has some of that info (emails, calendar) but I dont think applications are covered so my preference would be WP7's live tiles.

Then on to the application interface. The demo shows some of the builtin applications (email, calendar, contacts) and some others and I think the Metro interface is more attractive and more functional, email and calendar for instance. Not sure how 3rd party Meego apps will look but we've seen some pretty good looking WP7 applications and I think the fact that Metro is pervasive through the OS and 3rd party programs helps maintain a nice, uniform look.

I also noticed the contacts application was pretty plain compared to WP7's People hub. There was some integration shown with social networks but nothing compared to what WP7 has now and will be coming in Mango. Also how bing and 3rd party applications can integrate with various other parts of the OS seems to favour WP7.

In Meego's favour I think the open application list is fantastic, the media players are as good if not better than Zune interface wise and the picture viewer was nice as well. The innovative way of swiping to get back to the home screen from any applicaiton is also top notch. And you cant beat how everything just seems to go together for a real flowing feeling using the N9.

There are probably other areas that both OS's have pro's and con's over each other but overall when I consider all the things Mango will bring I think WP7 stacks up pretty well against the N9 running Meego, though Meego will also improve as well and this is an OS even younger than WP7. What's more exciting is thinking of how some of the things Nokia showed with the N9 might make it into their WP7 devices as they have the freedom to change the OS and that to me is something that I look forward to in the future.

What do you think? Hope this can be a DISCUSSION and not a hate-fest of any OS.
[Windows Phone 7 General] domineus:
I think the only thing that impressed me about the meego was the notification system. That's about it. IMHO wp does a lot more and has the support
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
neither mango nor the n9 running meego have been touched by end users yet, so this is premature.

wait till both are in your hands and give em a go.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ryude:
I think from a "wow" perspective meego takes the cake, but for a functional and cohesive environment mango blows it away. I would like to see a device use the button-less front design though, that's very cool.

Pretty interesting video. That's definitely an upped game from Nokia, it would be cool to have one and use it daily for a while to see.
