Hello,
Since I'm new here, I don't yet know the OP for supporting the devs working to root phones, so I'd like to know what the senior members recommend.
I understand when someone finds a way to root, it's recommended that we reward them through their PayPal button, but is there anything we can do during the lead-up to that? Donations? Resources?
I want to support in any way I can, is all.
Thanks,
Andreas

Sit down, strap in, hang on, and WATCH the show buddy. You'll know when and where to donate when the time is right.

For future reference try not to post in the development section. Put your questions in Q&A section.
And don't think that throwing money at the developers is going to speed the process. The best devs on this site do it for fun rather than money.

That makes sense. When I hear of people feeding Sprint reps in exchange for information, I'd like to kick some money their way to help with it.

10-4. Sorry about it.
I thought that since my question was specifically related to this section, and those my question was directed to frequented this forum more than, say, the Q&A forum, this would be a good place for it.
But if this forum is only for discussion specifically relating to the technical specifications of the phone, my apologies.
It is, for development I mean. Feel free to donate to xda, seems to keep the site working.

I am so happy to see this thread!!! Thank you so much Danny!!!!
This just made my day!!!! Now I can thank everyone for everything....
Just because we have a thank button.... doesn't mean we actually have
one.... because you can only thank 8 times..... Which sucks....
Because I thank people for saying smart things, for helping me, for
understanding where I come from, for discovering important things, ect...
Now I can properly thank all mods and developers of this site.... the proper way.....
Starting with you Danny.... for going ahead and creating this thread.....

I would like to thank all of you guys.... But here are a few people I want to specifically thank.... (No specific order)
1. Hasoon2000:
Your AIO Root Kit has saved me such time and headaches. A truly useful program! You are awesome!
2. NRGz28:
Your name reminds me of Camaros. But the reason why I thank you is quite obvious. Your Energy Rom has helped me a lot. My battery life is amazing and this is the only rom I have ever used that saves my battery life so much. Thank you!
3. GlacierGuy:
You have helped me so much, your useful links and advice has guided me through a lot of crap. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart.
You're welcome.

Awesome idea! Thanks @ PeartFan40 for this!
Lets see- first, thanks to the many people who act as contributors, giving answers rather than say "search!" - even when it has been given 20million times. Everyone who does this makes it MUCH easier to find threads that have an answer RATHER than 20million threads that say SEARCH. You have no idea how much time you save, and the patience/understanding you show by doing it is what makes this community awesome!
More officially-
Some other Devs/others who have been infinitely helpful whether they know it or not(some not even members of this forum):
mudhi - for taking the time to give some truly helpful advice, helping not only the devices you use, but those working on others.
j4n87 - for being willing to give helpful advice to catch someone up who isn't quite at the point you are, and the patience required.
bassini - for releasing a mod that fully works when all that was asked was a little assistance! Was pretty damn cool.
EclipzeRemix - for being cool, giving me someone to bounce ideas off of, and contributing in the many ways you do.
mike1986. - for putting the time and work into so many devices, then allowing me and others to use that work without compensation! Guys like you are what make android awesome!
gjcamp - for being patient with noobs and making contributions that are purely helpful
Opentang - for being an awesome contributor whose help and legwork is purely awesome
sportsstar89 - for sticking around when so many left, for getting things done that so many have quit on, being helpful and more.
Glacierguy - For sticking around and staying positive even though there are reasons not to, being helpful, sharing and I'm sure more.
mznatnat - for giving feedback that is truly helpful and being a positive voice in a community that has so many that don't care, don't appreciate - for being awesome.
Xboarder56 - Although I don't agree with many of his actions, he did make many solid contributions when others simply weren't, many things are possible for our phone that wouldn't be without him.. if he were a little more patient, less easily offended, and more willing to set aside differences to work with others I think he would be an even greater dev. But he still deserves thanks, whether he sees it, appreciates it, or not.
Football - come on, you know you made our devices so much more awesome, wish I knew how you do it, but hell yea bro.
I'm sure there are more people than I can thank - all of the members who stick around, make some effort to help each other or contribute, stay positive, or share their experiences with others - you are what make open source what it is, and help keep the noobs in check!

I agree with the search first approach..XDA os not a help site, so I believe in the concept of helping yourself before asking for it.
Also, please try to keep your thanks brief. To keep things tidy, Id like to avoid lengthy posts. Please try to keep your posts brief. Thanks everyone.
PS: Feel free to thank your hard working Moderator, who listens to his community.

I love all developers.... yep... all of them.... ones that do little coding.... to the super complex stuff....... if it wasn't for you.... MY hobby wouldn't exist... (which is modding phones).... I don't know about the rest of XDA but I know that coding / scripting / testing takes some time..... so pressuring a developer will only lead to crappy job on the project.....
I appreciate every single one of you guys..... I was one of the people that pushed for this thread..... after my thread got moved then shut down....
I am sure everyone feels grateful like I do....
Developers are awesome, and without them XDA wouldn't exist.
But without mods, developers would get lost in a sea of countless useless threads....
Developers and Mods rely on each other sometimes..... its the circle of life...... on XDA... Hakuna Matata!
Can someone point me in the direction of the kt747 kernel that Beanstown refers to under the notes section for his Jelly 'Beans' - Build 5 [07/10/13]Perfection and Stability I545VRUAMDK ROM. I was able to find one thread with links to download it but wasnt sure which one I needed. Much appreciated!

Lmfao. That's like calling a cop a prick for giving you a speeding ticket when you were speeding. I told you that you posted in the wrong section because you did. There are rules on this forum. Also, you don't need to post at all to find what you're looking for. Hell, you don't even need to be on this website. Don't come around here expecting things to be handed to you. Look who else even attempted to "lend you a hand." Be happy with what you got. People need to learn how to do things on their own which is why a lot of us encourage that. If you see that as someone being a prick then I feel bad for you. I got 99 problems and knowing how to search before asking questions isn't one. You're welcome.

Thanks Officer Delakit..
I just picked up this device a couple days ago, and starting to get involved in this device forum community. I've noticed there does not seem to be a index or compilation thread here to organize ROMs, mods, and other resources.
I've done such a thing for my old device (AT&T One X) and willing to do the same for the M8. You can see my work here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237
I'm not a developer, so this is my way of contributing to the awesome XDA community. The Index would be posted in General, per forum guidelines and I would request the mods sticky it to the top of that forum.
Any opinion on this, or suggestions, comments, etc. are welcome. If there is some concurrence, I can start on this right away.

Hello!
I'm writing a thesis on the jargon (technical, specific vocabulary) and to what extent it's exclusive in understanding for communities using it.
I'd like to ask you to complete a short survey (13 questions total) that will help me compose the thesis.
The survey is in English, though you don't need to be English native-speaker to complete it. Basically you're asked to answer questions regarding some Android-related stuff, that you might find obvious oftentimes.
Please, while completing it, use only your current knowledge and don't search google for answers. It's a survey, not a test .
The survey is of course anonymous.
The link to the survey: http://bit.ly/1j5DNwe
After I gather enough participants (20-30), it will be closed.
THANK YOU!
PS: To mods: if i broke any of XDA rules by such a request, forgive me :angel: .
Survey done =)
Glad to help you and good luck =)
Done
Done, glad to help.
Also this form of survey, with results at the end, would be a great form of education for some users here that don't know meaning of particular terms.
