For anyone who doesn't know. DZO is the reason we have android on the vogue period.. End of sentance.

Yeah there's been others of us who have ported builds and so on, but the simple truth of the matter is it wouldn't have happened without Martin.
He's an amazingly generous person who's helped all of us extend our vogues way longer than we ever would have. He's poured countless hours of developing and debugging into this project, because of him we had a functional froyo build before most other phones were even thinking about getting official builds.
For those of you who don't know DZO will be moving on from vogue developement soon as his provider is discontinuing the baseband that the vogue used.

I propose we all show Martin our thanks and appreciation for everything he's done for us.

I've just donated 4.55USD. (confirmation 44522221AF351025K) I know its not much, but it's all I have in my paypal and can afford right now. I propose we all give just a little, show our appreciation and send Martin off the way he deserves! Post here whatever you donate, even if it's just a dollar, its about showing our appreciation.

Thanks again Martin! You are what every project needs!
And if NZ has milestones, I hope you get one :) I'd love to continue to work with you.

I must say that without dzo and this android project I would have never attempted to write a program. My NBH Editor is the first time I've ever messed with any type of programming, and I have dzo to thank for that. Nobody has donated to me and I'm totally fine with that because I get excited seeing almost 1000 downloads of something that I created. I know dzo feels the same way, not really looking for donations but just the joy in doing something that a community loves. Regardless, I think dzo deserves at least a little bit of compensation for all of his hard work.

$10 conf: 8A464154CG638782A

Thanks dzo!

Thank you dzo for everything you've done for this community. I've had so much fun being apart of it. You are truly an inspiration to me and countless others. You are the main reason I've never taken a donation from this project. Because if there is anyone that deserves it then its you. You are the reason I still keep my vogue. I showed my seven year old son the video and slides you did documenting this great accomplishment and hopefully inspired a future developer. I am truly grateful for all that you have givin us. I pledge $20 u.s. dollars to help pay for your next phone. Good luck my friend I wouldn't be doing what I love if it wasn't for you.

mssmison -- thanks for starting this thread, I think that the fact that dzo has been doing this for so long without (to my knowledge) ever asking for pats on the back or any other kind of thanks meant that he loved to do it. That said, in retrospect, someone needed to do exactly this, and thanks for doing so. :)

Noooooooooooo

Dzo, if we donate enough, will you consider moving to the states where your Vogue still works? :)

I just added my donation to the pile.

Thanks for all your efforts.

I also want to say thanks for all your great work.

I know what you're thinking, "Hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort"


Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness. So you've got that goin' for you, which is nice.

Thanks to DZO (and others) I spent more time in bed with my kaiser than my girlfriend :D

It also enabled my first steps into Android programming.
You have to learn it on an old bike and DZO keeps them in mint condition :)


Just a symbolic donation (91W25880AB312705D) for Martin, the living legend
Thanks mate, for all the efforts!

Please tell us what your next xda will be.

    Wow, I'm amazed, I woke up this morning to a dozen donations and all these fantastic messages. Thank you all so much, without the people on here I would have given up long ago.

    It's true I've spent a lot of time working on this project, but it's been well worth it. As part of my job I teach operating systems and now I feel I can stand up and tell people I do know how a real OS works instead of just having read the books!

    As for my next phone, I have bought a Desire (simply because I got it fairly cheaply) It's a nice device but I don't think I'm going to do any development work on it because it already works fine.

    I'll keep working on my Vogue at least until the new kernel is stable. I really want to find out why Froyo seems to just crash and not recover sometimes.

    Again, thanks to everybody who's worked on this, without people finding bugs, testing unstable kernels, asking for new features, and fixing the things I don't use we wouldn't have got anywhere.
