Master&Slave is coming!

That's a very smart/prudent stance to take.We have some great devs already on the AT&T Note. There's no doubt in my mind that number will grow (esp when ICS officially hits).
I agree with you that there are already a lot of great devs on the note, but that post by m & s is a slap in the face to those that donated to get him a device.

Please don't mistake my previous post as disagreeing in any way. I am right there with you.. Hence my simple question to JFigure above.

I haven't been following the whole M&S development effort - but if I'm understanding you correctly, the phone he is so anxious to sell is one that was donated to him for development purposes?
That is what a critical eye would ascertain. Interesting to say the least.. LoL

I'm all for donations, but, I have seen several of these types of incidents in the last year or 2, where the community gets together to get a dev a phone/laptop/other piece of hardware, and, then the dev either changes his mind, switches phones, or leaves that phone...
As others have said, its a lot smarter to donate to someone who is actively working on something you care about, than it is to pony up money ahead of time, with the hope they will come though for you..

If that's really what is happening here, I'd hope the developer would pass the baton on to another developer willing to pick up the effort. Donating after something is delivered is usually the safe bet, but I understand in some situations it's more of an encouragement to get a known developer to work on the platform by giving them the device to work with. I'm cool with that, but if that developer decides to move on, the reasonable thing to do would be to pass that device on to someone else who can remain active with development.
Again, I don't know if that's the case here, so I'm just speaking in generalities and not towards any specific individual.
The g2x community came together to buy morphic (very stand-up dev) one, when he wanted to sell it 8-9 months later he asked the community if it was ok with it. Of course he also said he knew and had what he needed and would continue development blind....

If one were to jump to a conclusion, as we are all known to do on occasion, one might correlate the purchase of the phone with his comment seeking to get rid of it. Who knows? All I know is ppl like The Collective, Playin4Sheezy, Dagr8 & Duke others are leading the initial charge quite well.

this is the whole point , I am not bashing any other devs , I respect them all , but real life comes first and you cant blame a dev for having other preferences or interests , the minute you pay for sometjhign upfront you start expecting things , thats when trouble starts , I ve seen great devs being bashed here on XDA for taking money upfront and not delivering , wanst his fault he just was in over his head and couldnt deliver what he was expecting to , still a top dev in my book , i wont name any names just saying , dont believe the hype , the only way you will get what you pay for is by trying it out first ..
like XDA rules says , you have your real life work to make money . Money here is a BONUS and well deserved one , its not a job .
Just thankful for DAGr8 and other devs who created roms and other stuff here. Really shine at the moment like this. Hope people now will donate to devs who is actually developing and showing actions.

He should donate it to Designgears. He is source of Cognition, Perception, and most of recent Samsung official/unofficial leaks. He has own donation link on WWW.ponack/designgears towards an AT&T NOTE.

20Anyone that is familiar with the t989 development will be happy to know that Master&Slave will be dev'ing for the note very soon.
I attempted to make a bounty thread, but that didn't go too well. I asked myself what a good rom was worth, sucked it up and found a Note and bought one. He'll have it tomorrow.
Several of you on XDA donated to myself and Master&Slave directly. I CANNOT thank you enough. It blows my mind how people come together like that.
Along with a few ADT members we were able to collect what I estimate at this time to be $250 to offset the initial cost. Awesome.
Anyway, back to M&S...
Here is some of his work:

He's promised to dev for the note.
I've promised to host torrents of all his work. While it may not be fast at first, it will ALWAYS be available.

-Tuesday is the ROM
-Blk|Friday & Blu|Pulsar are themes for Tuesday
-If I get this device tomorrow, Tuesday wont be coming
-I have a whole new scheme already planned4
Whoa i wasn't talking about him. And i would not ask for anything upfront ever. I have been bashed for telling ppl to stop donate upfront right here on this very forum.
to ask for money is wrong in the first place and i said the exact same thing you are saying in a thread that got locked..
All im saying is users should donate as gratitude not expecting something in return this way nobody feels bad. .
