DONATE HERE

Just a question and I don't mean to sound rude but if you aren't a dev and you didn't develop this rom why is there a donate link to you?

Accepting money for someone else's work isn't exactly right.

I insisted jta to post a donate link for himself, not only for helping run the thread over here at XDA, but for all the other things that he has done to make the development of this ROM possible. Without his help, I wouldn't have been able to build for this device in the first place, so I believe it to be fair for him to have his own donate link.

No one forces anyone to donate to anyone. But if you would like to, donate to someone who has put forth a lot of energy in getting me set up with the proper hardware and constantly tests each release for quality control so I can develop this ROM.

Thanks for all the positive feedback everyone especially how this should be the official OTA. That's a huge compliment!

Once I build and release 0.1.1 is released, all known issues should be fixed. I worked with the NSTools developer to allow his app to be built into any aosp ROM and he has merged my changes into his developer branch on github. Once the changes are confirmed working, he will probably release a new version on the market...but every new release of my rom will contain the latest version of NSTools.

So thanks again. I've been working hard to provide a great rom and will start supporting new devices soon. I need testers for the GSM Nexus S and the Galaxy Nexus. I own a Evo4g, but the more testers the better.

You guys rock

I appreciate your concern and moderation techniques. Not many MODs take the time to actually watch their forums and maintain some kind of organization. Putting ROM threads that were not created by the developer of the ROM into the General category makes sense. A lot of users take advantage of posting a ROM somewhere first and try to get donations, simply improve their account standing, or boost their "thanks" numbers. Users that do this take advantage of the developer's hard work, which I do not believe is fair.

In our case, I asked jta462 (OP of this thread) to maintain the thread for this ROM over here at XDA. I simply do not have the time to be checking forums all day long. Jta462 IS the reason why I was able to develop this ROM. Because of his substantial contributions, I insisted that he put up a donate link to himself. Users of this ROM need to know that without him, this ROM would never have existed; and he deserves respect and appreciation from everyone for that fact.

I just wanted to really say thank you Allgamer for keeping your threads in check. How you moderate is only fair to developers.


Now to everyone:
Can we please keep on topic of Crossbones ROM development? Please, no more comments about jta462's donation link or how Allgamer handle's his moderation. Posting about issues with the ROM, troubleshooting, and helping each other out is why we are here in the first place. Let's not allow politics and bull**** get in the way of a good thing.

Thank you
