[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] AlaskaLinuxUser:
As with anything, everything seems to cost money these days. That said, after reviewing the costs my projects, and seeking some advice from family and friends, I realized that it would a good idea to accept donations for upkeep and expenses brought on by my work.

As this is a change from my previous comments on donations, a wise friend thought a note of explaination would be appropriate. Don't worry, I do not plan to bring it up again. :o

Donations would help offset the costs for me to buy parts, or phones, or pay for the online storage I have, and/or other things such as more internet "buckets" of limited data on my ISP's plan, website maintenance, etc.

Currently, asside from a great gift of a server computer, I have been supporting my projects by selling off gifted older phones, a laptop, and a few other tid-bits here and there. As you can see, I have cut back on my involvement, partly for time reasons, but also for finance reasons - e.g., only updating roms every other month to save on bandwidth, downloads, etc.

While I do not expect anyone to donate their hard earned money towards these projects, I would be open to accepting donations that any users are willing or able to give. Please do not feel obligated in any way, shape, or form, to donate. I have put up a donation link in my XDA profile ( https://www.paypal.me/TheAlaskaLinuxUser/3 ) with a small suggested one time gift amount. You are welcome to change that to any (smaller) amount you wish, or not to donate at all. I just don't want people feeling that a larger or continuous donations were necessary, however, you are allowed to do as you please.

Thank you to all of those who have responded with kind comments, feedback, and thanks button slaps. Those are really appreciated because it lets me know how you feel about my work. I look forward to continued development, and I hope no one is offended by my post, as it was not intended to be.

Below are a few of my previous and current projects.
