Hey all you Devs out there. I would have posted in the Dev group but I don't have enough posts...yet.
I love the community here and ROM work for the 4G. You guys do great work. The work is so good I am afraid to move from my 4G to the Evo 3D. I've noticed with the newer ROMs I have a lot less internal space for installs and was thinking of trading that sucker in for the 3D. So my question is this:
Are many of you planning to Dev for the Evo 3D? Remain with the 4G? Or do both?
Thanks for the help all!
Heck most of the devs (I'm not one) are going to the evo 3d.

I never really thought that we may be left in the dust by devs moving on to the the newer/better device
There is still some development going on for the good old HTC Hero, so there is hope some will stay with us and keep us going for another year or so
Some will stay, some will go, and some may get the 3D (or any other new device) and keep the Evo to play with. I think for most developers, they are working on whatever device they're using as their phone. Like the rest of us, some will decide the new generation is worth the upgrade, but I'm sure some won't.
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?
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.
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.
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.
Thanks for the feedback guys. Good points all around.

Hi, all. I picked up a new GSII from USCC a few days ago and I wondered what exactly has to be done to port CWM and/or roms from the E4GT to our phone. I'm hoping that the process will be fairly simple since our GSII is identical to the E4GT, excluding the WiMax radio.
Bear in mind that I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 before you give me Windows answers. But any and all help is appreciated. Your positivity could be the help I need to become a real dev.
Until you guys get a kernel source drop (Sammy's too busy violating the GPL... again...), it'll be difficult to know what is and is not actually different.
You may get lucky and it'll primarily be a kernel swap and maybe a RIL swap - but not guaranteed.
Source has dropped on Samsung site https://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=list&menu_item=mobile&classification1=mobile_phone under SCH-R760U. Anyone give us some help on this, I'm also willing to give some porting a go, just need a little kick in the right direction.
A small amount of background first - just acquired a GS3 through T-Mobile after leaving AT&T a week ago, and I'm saddened that I didn't go Android sooner. Started out with an HTC TyTn II from AT&T in 2008, and when the first 2-year contract ended in 2010, I got an iPhone 3GS as an upgrade. That 2-year contract ended recently, and I took up an offer T-Mobile had to get a GS3 close to free (with the usual 2-year contract etc.).
Tried a few AOSP and AOKP-based ROMs before eventually trying FreeGS3, and I absolutely love it, uoY_redruM has really put together something special for this amazing hardware. I have been watching the recent development of R7.1(.1) and wanted to give my thanks in his thread, but there's an understandable post restriction in the development forums for new registrations.
uoY_redruM, thank you for the time and effort put into this ROM, and you have my respect for the way you work with the user's feedback from what I've seen already. Thank you also to the ROM chefs and modders who make all of this possible.
To everyone else, I hope to remain active here and get to know some of the good people who enjoy what can be done with these portable computers as I do.
Nice friendly write up. Make sure you click his thanks (much like he did yours).

Long story short - because of Tegra2's lack of support which I failed to envision when I bought my Glide, I sold it in order to hunt for something new and well-supported. It seems that T-Mo's beastly Galaxy S Relay 4G is once again available and is cheaper now, so I might or might not grab one.
Before departure, I'd like to sincerely thank @bubor, @kick buttowski, @spyke555 and others who brought to us the many close-to-perfect AOSP ROMs I've been using. Especially @bubor, who patiently gave me a lot of help on minor issues. Seriously, you guys ROCK the Tegra world! :thumbup:
I also thank everyone who appreciated my assistance around here - without you guys I would've lost my motive to check up on XDA everyday.
I'll still occasionally check up on here and offer a hand, but until then... Au revoir.
