Help the developers, help your Spica: Donate to support non-official development!

**Xi0N** · 02-21-2011, 08:00 PM

First of all, I want to make clear that:
-I have no relationship with the developers in real life.
-I dont get any profit at all by any donation (Actually, I am going to donate as well)
-Nobody is forced to donate: Everyone does it on his own will.
-Donating does not give you the right to demand anything from the devs (new features, release dates, etc...)

Given the fact that Samsung completely abandoned the developement of the Galaxy Spica, all the next releases of the Android system will get no official support.
We only relay on these developers interest in going on with the work that Samsung left unfinished.

After months of hard work, they got CyanogenMod working (Without any support from the CyanoGenMod community)

Now, we have optimized kernels, overclocking and an upcoming CyanogenMod 7 ROM, enabling the use of Gingerbread in our Spicas, putting their knowledge together, joining forces to enable all the hardware, recode a 2d/3d driver and many, many things that Samsung left unfinished or poorly coded.

For all this, I think this is the best momen to remind the people that the developers dont get any profit from this actions.
They use their spare time and their own devices for developement purposes: Spending their time for being with their family or friends coding for our Spicas, and risking their phones in the process....

I think they deserve, now more than ever, our help.

I will put here, in this thread, the info of all the devs and their paypal accounts or ways of donating (I have been collecting them from their signatures).

It does not matter the amount of money you donate, 5 euro, for example, multiplied by the thousands of people that daily visit this page is already a lot of money.
So I say, lets support them!
You don't have to donate for all of them.... its up to you the amount and who do you want to donate to and, of course, this donations are anonymous....

Thanks to all this community, and thanks to all the devs that are making our Spica better and better day after day:

Xi0N - Myself

I try to make a good, lightweight, updated and stable SpicaGenMod ROM 2.1 SGM Beta2 Basic Edition - Not much compared to the work of the kernel devs, but you can invite me to a beer/coffee if you feel like it

P.S.: If I forgot any dev, or does not appear is either because i did forgot (sorry) or i did not see a clear donation link in their signature.

Lukiqq's phone was bricked not because he is trying to put some new features, his spica brick because of adding a wrong size bootlogo,
all DEVs knows that adding wrong bootlogo is dangerous...
but still he deserves the help that we can give in return with the efforts he has given us.

@Xi0N
Nice idea, but I no longer develop for the Spica, so please remove my donation link, thanks. Just wouldn't be right.

But for those who want to thank me for previous work I've done, please don't use my paypal link, but send a donation directly to UNICEF (United Nations Children's Fund) using this link - Support UNICEF - Donate Online - Donate Now

wow ch33ky such a good samaritan
both arms raised for you

**Xi0N** · 03-12-2011, 04:10 PM

Thread has been updated..... thanks for your sincerity, ch33ky.... your work will never be forgotten....

BTW, banjo, I remind you that you can ask for donations anytime... feel free to decide, since it's up to you....

As for Lukiqq's issue... well, yes, its a shame... after developing a lot of stuff for the kernel, he breaks the phone by a wrong flash.... that sucked..... anyway, i hope he can get enough donations for a new spica, and keep on developing for it..
