Original Post / Poster depending on how u refer to it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kizzle4:
i dont get it, i can download all the themes but not the rom?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Norwester:
I think its uploading right now guys and the link(s) will be in the OP as soon as they're available. Has nada to do with donations,those are to help support the forums.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jfoster38122:
please be patient guys give him a little time to get it uploaded
[EVO 4G Android Development] Virus:
sorry its taking forever to upload i had to pull and reupload due to last minuet change :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] IAmTheTrueUI:
Oh holy crap! (pardon my french) I can't wait for this Virus. I've been waiting for a new one from you brother. I look forward to it, and I appreciate all the hard work that you put into these. You're just freaking great man. LOL
[EVO 4G Android Development] Virus:
you should check out my site http://infectedrom.com/forum/forum.php sign up for free and you can chat with me and my users that is where i have been spending most of my time :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] IAmTheTrueUI:
Already signed up a long time ago brother. Headed there right now. LOL
[EVO 4G Android Development] mic402:
And i would also like to thank VIRUS for this WONDERFUL ROM, by far the best port out there, to me at least. So EXCUSE me for being so anxious. Not just a spectator either, I would do anything to help including testing. But if this DONATION thing keeps going on throughout these threads like this, then most likely evey thing will change. We will be paying for each ROM Release that comes out, and if thats the case, then I just might think about switching professions and become a dev. Most devs i know (on this site) do what they do because they enjoy it, not for the money. But I will respect EVERY ONES opinion, just respect mine and we all can move on. A GREAT Rom will still be released, and people will still send DONATIONS, but i'm just not making one until the release of RC2
[EVO 4G Android Development] MikeC84:
Anyone have a link to rc2.

I'm pretty sure hero_over and kingklick were banned from xda for giving early access to donators.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Virus:
thanks buddy :) sorry had some issues i have been busting it to get ready for you guys i like to drop rocks not paper :) as for the donations you dont have to give anything if you dont want to. the ones that do just get the find all the problems and have roms that aren't finished if i posted all the betas over here it would be pages and pages of people complaining about this doesnt work and that doesnt work that is why i do it that way to keep the thread clean and keep the rock solid builds for the masses
[EVO 4G Android Development] mic402:
I was just thinking the same thing. Few others too
[EVO 4G Android Development] Virus:
no you are incorrect they were not they were linking their roms to their site where you had to pay to be a member VERY different case! not to mention any names but pretty much every developer here does this I dont think you guys realize how much TIME we spend making these things for you guys it is nice to be compensated a little for the hrs on end we spend.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MikeC84:
8. Donations.

We appreciate all donations to xda-developers.com, it keeps our forum online and well maintained. As a user you're allowed to ask for donations in your signature as a thank you for your hard work. However donations up front are not allowed, this forum is about sharing, not about getting paid to do something, that's what your job is for.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mic402:
Understandable. Just needed to be a little more enlightened on the situation, because I've learned literally nothing from some of these other people's comments. I assure you, you WILL receive a donation from me though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Virus:
also BTW i never said that comment over here that you HAVE to donate to be a beta tester it is at MY SITE MY OWN THREAD that i payed over 600 dollars to get up and running so quit causing trouble
[EVO 4G Android Development] MikeC84:
Kingklick did that, just went to baked snack thread and it downloads from his server, doesn't go to his site.

Doesn't make sense, lol, wouldn't you get more donations if more people were actually able to update to the latest builds whether there beta or not?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mcdwll_mrcs:
Does anyone have the link to rc2 I would really like to have it I love rc1 but I always like better.

sent from rooted evo
[EVO 4G Android Development] Virus:
your missing the point man its not about the money i just don't want everybody with the betas becasue they have problems and it would be a headache keeping up with all of them for the most part the ones that donate are a bit more advanced and they can handle a few issues with out going nutz
[EVO 4G Android Development] MikeC84:
Yea I get what your saying but if more people had the betas you would get more people telling you bugs, so you could get them ironed out faster, no? No offense but cm is more popular then this and he releases nightly for everyone, just saying. Either way I love this ROM and want rc2 right meow lol, jk no but serious.

Plus how can you say that. I'm in college for computer programming so am I more "advanced" than most posters on here as well?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mcdwll_mrcs:
@virus are you close to releasing rc2 publicly? I really want it if I have to donate I swear I will just let me know plz!!!!

sent from rooted evo
[EVO 4G Android Development] suprano:
ppl r really going nuts over rc2..Virus, u see what ur wonderful work has done to us?lol..great job mann!!

3VODO3S HD!
[EVO 4G Android Development] twin001:
Like I said earlier, RC1 is working great...until today. I have a few apps in the market that are due for updates today. I tried updating them but the updates are unsuccessful due to "Package not Signed Correctly". Anyone else having this issue?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Cy_n_ic:
Are these updates for a modded apk?
[EVO 4G Android Development] KELO777:
Man this is a great rom !!!!!!!!

Great job man this is sick can't wait till rc2 rom .

But the only bad part is dialer keys don't work how could i fix that?

Thank you !!!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] twin001:
No, stock apps via the VirusRom Market.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ktrotter11:
At mike, he said most people are.... And its not beneficial to hear hundreds of people clog up a forum saying the same things ovet and over...betas are wip's..with the sole purpose of finding and fixing bugs...tho u may understand that not everyone does..and if something bad happens to their phone there gonna blame virus for giving them a buggy rom
[EVO 4G Android Development] ktrotter11:
@ Twin--Stock as in sprint apps?
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
@virus I have a ? My phone reboots after a couple of hours on or when its slow.. I've installed twice and still doing the same thing.. and the battery life is ****ty like I go from 100% to 50% on like lil over 2 hours.. can you help me thanks

And is there any way you can add DSP in rc2?
[EVO 4G Android Development] MikeC84:
Are you on rc2 or 1?
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Rc1
[EVO 4G Android Development] twin001:
No, market apps. Fancy Widget, Folder Organizer, Android Terminal Emulator for example. I ended up uninstalling and reinstalling them and it worked fine, but I couldn't just update them.
[EVO 4G Android Development] OrionSX:
If it cost you over 600 bucks to get a website up and running, I think asking for donations is the least of your troubles, friend. However, and I'm certain Mods would agree with me, asking for donations on your site while LINKING and ADVERTISING that same site here on XDA would still constitute a violation of the rules. Again, I'm no moderator... but a close family member is.
[EVO 4G Android Development] OrionSX:
Donating money doesn't make you any smarter. It may control how MANY idiots have your ROM, but its not going to stop them from posting noobish things about it. That is one of the toils of creating ROMs and developing... Don't release it to the public until its ready, and be prepared for the wave of n00bs who want the best but don't know how to get it, and don't release a beta to people willing to pay you but not to anyone else, that really does make you look like a greedy ass. Especially when that beta, from all reported sources, seems to run light-years better then this one. That's like HTC saying they have an update for our Evo's that runs faster, more stable, with less battery usage, but they're only going to give it to people who pay them extra, and then when its convenient they'll release it to everyone else. Sorry man, I admire your talent and work, but that's my opinion.

omg... I really hope this guy is kidding.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jxr94:
Ok dude, when you were being a little bit calmer about the whole situation, you had some points that i agreed with. Now, this has gotten out of hand, and i'm just asking that you please let this go, because it would be a shame to see this thread go down over a silly argument. Also, threating people online is immature and causes you to lose the respect or your peers.

That's not cool ^^^^^^^^
[EVO 4G Android Development] jxr94:
Also, Virus, since RC2 isn't public yet, would it be a hassle to throw in the battery percentage in the battery indicator?
[EVO 4G Android Development] OrionSX:
Hmm, where exactly did I threaten anyone? And I certainly haven't gotten any less calm. Virus responded with his opinion and I responded with mine. Just because you don't agree that its wrong to release something on the condition of a donation doesn't mean you should try and silence me. I have every right to express my opinion.

As for the comment about a moderator, I was only mentioning this to reinforce the fact that I might know what I'm talking about. I have no intention of bringing a moderator, family or not, into this, I was simply using the fact as point of reference that I do have some experience with XDA Rules. That being said, don't condescend me for mentioning it... take it as a reminder, people are here to enforce the rules, and while I'm not one of them, the next poster might be. Offering a conditional download based on donations is against the rules. If he wants to do it on his own site that is fine, but he can't link to it here... that's exactly what KingxKlick got in trouble for. I'm not trying to start trouble, I'm trying to prevent it, warning you guys that what Virus is doing isn't right and trying to prevent any further issue. I'm reasonably certain that if the RC2 Rom were released somewhat soon (since it apparently is in working order) that this whole problem WOULD get dropped. That being said, I'm in no mood to have someone try and silence me from expressing my opinion, and that's all I'm expressing. So chill.

I've seen alot of talented modders on here (been a member since 07... not alot of posts, I know. I lurk.) get banned for various reasons or have threads locked, etc, etc, etc, and I'm simply trying to prevent that at this point. My first comments on this topic back on page 57 or whatever it was were out of annoyance, I'll admit to that, now I'm just trying to help, albeit in a less-then-friendly fashion. I have, however, kept my calm.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jfoster38122:
It's a shame that such a talented dev and such a great rom and thread has gone to **** because some people just can't wait a little while for the rom to be released after the bugs are worked out.

Do you really want the rom with the bugs in it?

Will you really not ***** about all the problems?

Really people come on give him a break.

Let him work on it and release a great rom like he has in the past.
[EVO 4G Android Development] OrionSX:
Did you pay him for your access? If so, shut up. You're contributing to the problem. If not, I fully agree with you. Honestly, I do. I'm not begging him to release it, I'm not complaining we have to wait. I'm stating that there should never have been a release to the donators; they should have had to wait too. To answer your questions...

Yes I do, because that's why I flash ROMs. I like new problems to fix.

No, I won't *****. I'll seek out a solution to a problem, and if I don't find one, I'll bring it to Virus's team's attention.

I fully expect he'll release a great ROM, as he always does. When he releases it. Just quit releasing it to people who pay you first, it really does look bad.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jxr94:
Changed my mind, I am withdrawing from the argument and just going to wait for RC2.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jfoster38122:
I have not paid him a penny

and I agree with you

;-)

it does "look" bad but I don't know what's going on

never seen him do this b4
[EVO 4G Android Development] sgt. slaughter:
I dont get it. If what Virus is doing is wrong by giving people access to Beta's that donate then why no harsh crack down on Myn and the others too? I'm sure Virus gives out the Beta to people that also do NOT donate too.

As long as the rom isn't private and never released publically then it can be here on XDA no matter how the beta process is no?
[EVO 4G Android Development] BrianBaker:
I hope he just packs up his stuff and says the hell with everyone....I would..

Meanwhile i will sit back and hope I see RC2 still.
[EVO 4G Android Development] scottspa74:
Yeah, I can't get there thru any method, haven't tried a desktop though. I'm a donator even. Getting irritating.
[EVO 4G Android Development] scottspa74:
Damn, when I wrote "irritating", I hadn't read this last page or so yet.

I was not/am not posting the comment I posted in the context of this whole donator argument. I want no part of that, and like I said, I hadn't read these last page or so when I posted.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xzulez:
Patience my young grasshoppers. Seriously guys, I still don't get why you got to voice your opinion (complaining) about a release. It's not like he is not going to release it to us his followers. If you are going to come to his thread and start whining why some already have rc2 then I suggest to move along. No, I have not donated to virus yet but I soon will. I have been using virus's roms since his original virus x rom. He has even gone to the damageless rom and upadated it for some of the followers that were complaining. Virus among other developers have greatly contributed here at xda and constantly trying to make us the evo users happy. For that I thank you and feel very appreciative of your work. If you cant wait for rc2 there are other great emerging roms that you should try.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mptherealmp:
I've been Beta testing for Virus for quite a while.

I did not have to donate in order to get that privilege.

I have donated several times since then. When the site launched, there were at least 20 of us that were made testers without pay.

I have also seen his website down for days at a time because of too much server traffic and the necessary upgrades in order to stay live.

I have never seen a Virus post on here saying you must donate in order to get a released ROM.

I actually LIKE paying for stuff I enjoy. I pay for SetCpu (even thought it's free here), Titanium Backup, Root Explorer, LauncherPro, Quadrant Advance, and Tapatalk Pro all because I appreciate the Devs and in a land where most things are not free, it just seems like the right thing to do.

A donation on InfectedRom website is not payment for a Rom. It helps him keep building while giving the donor unreleased beta access to a BUNCH OF ROM SERIES for the longevity of VirusRom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] danthrax66:
*****ing about donators getting access to untested roms before you, ha. Do you think Virus can find all of the glitches in his rom by himself? He has like 5 or 6 different roms all in development, we are constantly testing new ones. And my god it's $5 one time donation for beta access, and that money goes toward supporting his website. Which has an awesome chat box that maxes out servers :D You have the version of the rom that is a week old the new one is highly unstable and barely working and it is a lot easier to leave the stable one here while the donators and beta testers (a much smaller group that communicates with each other) deal with the issues that arise and report them directly to virus. Most people don't donate for beta access they donate because the community developing over at virus's website is awesome, just sayin. And if you want to know the truth if you hang out on his website as a registered user in the chat box you will probably end up with a few links to roms throughout the day, thus getting beta roms without donating (cheapskates).
[EVO 4G Android Development] Unleashed2k:
As the founder of the infected website I am sad to see what people are saying.

Virus doesn't have to do anything at all. He's been going to band practice, work, managing a relationship, and a new born baby. On top of that he's doing four major rom releases for the evo and a new one for the epic 4g with evo shift planned. All final releases are posted for all. If you want you can even access the beta for a low as 1$. It's just a way to support his future work. It's time consuming and he releases is it to the donators so he can get their feedback so you can get the final version here, which is clean and dusted off with very few bugs. Many of his roms including revo has tons of issues in the beta but in the final RC1's it's clean with out the issues. Beta's are better under a controlled environment and we have that control on our server to see in a closed area what's wrong and what can we do better. We do take feedback here and push it into the roms. But either way we will not change how we work things. All release clients & final versions are posted on public sites, and all betas = donators. It's how we plan to develop and it's our way to make things easier. If you do not like it then I'm sorry to see you leave such an amazing rom. It's really sad if you can not spend 1$ if you really want the beta version. It's just supporting him. It's not a paid version of any rom, it's not a subscription. Because eventually you will all get the finalized product. We do not offer paid services and never plan.

Hope this clears some things up.

Thank-you for this, sometimes people forget that Virus is a person, and like the rest of us, goes through life and its wonders/challenges. I hope our selfishness doesn't dissuade him from further work and that he continues to provide us with the phenomenal roms we've come to take for granted. This was very necessary, +1,000,000
[EVO 4G Android Development] Nutzy:
just saying HI... I use Virus roms.. I spend most of my time on the forum chat at infectedroms contributing what Ive experienced and found to improve the roms.... that is all I have to say about that.. Nutzy OUT!:eek::eek:
[EVO 4G Android Development] danthrax66:
Orion quit adding to this thread you aren't helpful and you just sound uneducated. If you knew anything about product development and testing you would know that letting every person in the world try something doesn't work. It's a distraction everyone has a problem and most people will just post useless **** (I definitely see you posting useless **** when something goes wrong) so instead of having helpful feedback you have a bunch of babies crying about something while a post from someone that actually pinpointed the issue or did some trouble shooting is buried.

Now quit being a ****ing troll and go use a different rom if you don't like Virus.
[EVO 4G Android Development] FDDT:
I was staying out of this debate but well... I felt the necessity of talking after seeing this (don't take it personal, man)

I think that I, as everybody else here who has the same posture here would gladly work with Virus detecting, tracking, finding a solution and obvioulsy reporting any bug. There's no need to pay for that, actually I (as many other, since beta-testing is considered a job) would like to get paid for detecting bugs (just see Chrome, they pay you hundreds, even thousands if you see any bug that compromises the user security and stability) so I don't see a need to pay for get that privilege.

I actually think that in someway Virus (again, nothing personal) is forcing you to pay for the rom, just think that we're talking about a RC and that the changelog for the second one was posted about 2-4 days after the first release, so, we may think that it's going to be posted somewhere in the near future (max. 3 days, or at least I thought it) But back in the reality we're 11-12 days after the first release CANDIDATE (wich means we should expect bugs), we have people talking about a PRIVATE and PRIVATIVE software wich Virus hasn't made an official statement (I don't see in anywhere a post of him saying us that we could become beta-testers by donating) and we also have a 500 dollars goal in the official forum (really? Not even wikipedia in the firsts years, man!) to we-don't-know-what but I'm pretty sure that the 500 dollars aren't in their total to the website (basically because Virus doesn't have any bandwith problems or he wouldn't be uploading the rom to his server and secondly because well... obvioulsy he is the designer and webmaster).

And to finalise I will just remark something: I have problems using this rom with my status bar and battery icon as I stated a few times early and I didn't get any response of Virus (and I must say that at least one time I was reffering exclusively to him, and yes, I know that he is not omnipotent, but really, not noticing it? Why? because I haven't and I won't pay to get personal attention of him?)

Well I think I may extended a lot so, that would be all. If any if you would like to talk about it, just send me a PM, and, to be clear, I do think that Virus has made some amazing work here, it's a stable and daily use rom, apart from the status bar bug I haven't found any other but I don't agree with the methodology that Virus is showing with (at least) this rom (and a third time, nothing personal)

EDIT An aclaration: Sorry if I -may- seem rude in this message to anyone, but I wrote this with all the respect I have to every Evo developer and user, it wasn't my intention
[EVO 4G Android Development] saboture:
Thanks for the awesome rom virus. I've had my evo since Dec. 3rd and have tried many roms but I can honestly say I've stuck with yours for the longest out of any. Looks great, will donate sometime this weekend hopefully.

To everyone complaining that people have access to the beta by donating 1 dollar:

Grow up. If you cant "afford" one dollar, then don't complain. You're all using one of sprints top 3 most expensive phones, feature rich phones. This guy is giving you guys very polished roms for free. I'm waiting for RC2 since day one of this rom releasing but I haven't made one hateful post about the wait time.. maturity and understanding goes a long way here.
