Hey to all that make themes on here, was just reading a theme thread and replying to sino8r about donating to manup if he had donate link and he has a great point. If you guys (or gals) had a donate link I and I'm sure many members on here would send some cash to you for all your hard work on making our phones decked out! You all put a tremendous amount of time and work into them, the way I see it as i said in other thread is that its like buying a paid app or game only better because we know what product we are getting and we know it will be awesome!! Just a thought but i would like to see all theme makers have one and get rewarded for there work. I'm sure not all will donate but for those that do 5 bucks here and there is money in the bank! I know you don't do it for money but still.

I'm not a big fan of the pink, but I think the rest of the theme looks great!
stay strong bro
I think u should keep it up
great theme
This is cool, forget about the haters. This is an art. You don't do it for people you do it for you. Then you are you own critic. With that said...lol... I would love to see a star war, or duke university, or oakland raiders, or university of miami or naruto or bleach theme.. lol
Yo bro... you got lost of talent and you do this for the sheer satisfaction of accomplishment. Your unselfishness doesn't ever go unnoticed... you'll get yrs in time bro... Keep it up

thanks,
i havent made a final decision yet, i love making themes, just been feeling weird lately... it will probly pass though just need some support to keep me going... thanks to all who posted love already
like your themes, pay no attention to my vote. clicked the wrong one. keep it up.
HELL TO THE NO! 2 words repeated "HI HATER, HI HATER" i bet u made more themes then anyone.. and when ur on top the hater will try to make u fall.. F*%$ THEM!
I am baffled that anyone would complain when an artist spends time and effort to make themes for our phones. WTF??? Anyway, Randum, your themes are great! Please keep em coming.
truth be told you are a necessary force on these boards...you do niche themes as well as run of the mill themes, not too many people too interested in niche themes, and while yours may not be the most complete themes (personally, id love if you made this one as complete as possible minus the pink) they are the most readily available.
keep it up.
keep up the good work, I havent been on these boards of late but every time i am.....I always see something new from you. They may not be as complete as others but they definitely satisfy many. I for one like them very much 8).
I would like to add my voice in supporting your efforts.
I only wish I had the time to devote to making themes/developing for the G1 and look to people like you to make my phone so much more wonderful than it could be if you weren't here on this forum contributing!!!!
Who the Fu*! cares if some others don't like your themes. I may not like ALL of your themes. But, you make many that I DO like. But, whether I like them or not I appreciate the time and effort you put into making them.
Some of the themes entered into the competition weren't anything I would use on a daily basis... But, that doesn't mean that they weren't works of art. I appreciated every single one of them.
I really like many of the themes that you have made and look forward to seeing others in the future.
As for this theme... My wife loves it! She is stuck on her Blackberry (she has small hands and the G1 is just not comfortable for her) and wishes she could put it on her BB.
Glad you decided to stay!!!!
Dont Quit Randum you have the most and some of the best themes for the android OS. You also account for about 50% of the themes on Android Evolve!
yeah dont stop making themes . im still on your intense red and my girl is going to this one when i stop being lazy.Anyway keep them coming. F the haters im sure many themers got some ideas from your stuff.
PS Can you add a little more to intense i keep coming back to it even after the com.Also i like how you dont like changing the app icons.Thats my Style too.
A very nice theme indeed, it is my favourite theme for the RC9 ones out there. A very good vibrant theme! Consider it as a competative theme would like to see some more of your work PLEASE!? especially when they convert so well onto the RC9 ver (UK for me).
Regards.
I love Vekktor
Hi I love your themes and specially this one Vekktor I have lots of Vector wallpapers and when I saw this theme I was excited to match the with it. Please please keep it up your excellent work. Its different and very authentic.
Hey, Just a shout out and kudos to you for all you are doing here. Your themes are nice and there are so many to choose from I am sure many others here appreciate all that hard work!
i second that notion as i said in his thread...
no reason there shouldnt be more of us themers out there
I agree Props to the fella/gals working on themes. I wish i knew photoshop and all that stuff to create some but Im' lazy as well, so thank you.
Hello!I`m a memmber of this forum for some time and now for about 2 weeks i changed my device and go to other part of this forum but i noticed that almost all power users from here are waiting for donations to make something once all of this wasn`t like this what happend with that days?
I'm not power user or cooker but a donation isn't a must: you can do or not do it.
They spend a lot of time to do their works and if I want to donate some € for a good work I do it else I can use the SW without problem and w/o donation.
D'rath
If people are not releasing something because they will only do so if they get donations they are violating Forum Rule 8. Feel free to report them.
See rules here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=256
FORUM RULES said:
8. Donations.
We appreciate all donations to xda-developers.com, it keeps our forum online and well maintained. As a user you're allowed to ask for donations in your signature as a thank you for your hard work. However donations up front are not allowed, this forum is about sharing, not about getting paid to do something, that's what your job is for.

Most of them make roms because they like to do it and they want to, that's it!
It's wrong to put in BIG words in the signature and everywhere else, as if the roms that they do, are really, really, really hard work.
What hard work? lol! Nobody force them to make roms...

As a modder I put in lots of time into my work. I release about 4-8 ROM variations a week. I also release some other minor stuff, packages for chefs and a few other things. There are plenty of sleepless nights for me. A little something in return is always nice.
Here is a little story and how end users can be greedy too.
A couple of weeks ago I had to sell my device for finacial reasons. I posted in my ROM thread that I will not be releasing a new ROM because I had to sell my phone. I came back online around 3 hours later to find about 140 private messages in my inbox. All but 3 asked for my ROM without a thanks and/or sorry to hear about your current situation. That got me very mad. So I changed how my ROMs were distributed.
All of my Lite and Super Lite ROMs, ROMs with no TF3D 2.1 or 2.5 or for Public use. All my TF3D2.X are for private users. To be a private user you have to be an active member of the community who comes in here and tries to help others. You are not a user who just downloads stuff, does not say thanks and then always complains about a few bugs. Or if you prefer you can make a donation. Lets say you would rather not bother helping others, don't have the time too or just want to say thanks to the modder with a little donation.
For myself I do not use TF3D and I take the time out to make something I do not use for myself for the end user so what is wrong with getting a little something in return for my time?
Every other thing I do on XDA is up for grabs for everyone...

Have you ever tried to make a ROM? To say it is not hard work is just plain stupid.
I do agree with you with the big buttons and what not...
You should be thankful that people on here like make ROMs. Have any idea what it would cost you to walk into a phone store and have something like this done, that's if even they know how too?
If it is not hard work then give it a shot and see how easy it is.
Some people are just so ungrateful...
I am glad that you don't have a Rhodium...
Since I shared a bad story here is a...
very amazing story!!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4545746&postcount=771
Shocked. But if it's a donation...
I'm a chef, but I don't ask for any donation for releasing my ROMs.
I develop my ROMs for the people who wants it, and I'm happy to help you all to have a good OS and functional PDA.
However, my "Donation" link is always in my signature because if someone would like to help my hard work with his donation I'll be happy to accept it... but I'll continue to release my ROMs even if noone donates.
As for now, noone donated.. and I released a lot of versions of my ROMs, and I don't ask for any obligatory donation ^^
Chefs here doesn't ask for anything... donation is only for "giving" a simple "Thank You!" for the hard work we are doing!
Sincerely,
kholk.

That is very generous of the user. Even if he does not follow through with the device, that must be a great compliment to receive.
Possible solution
I don't know how xda feels about this but could they place something akin to google adwords into the topic so that the user who made the topic could get a piece of the pie. Of course xda would get a cut too. =p
I want to just say thank you all for all the hard work you do that sometimes goes unpaid or even a simple thank you. I want to say thank you for making our phones everything that the corp greed machine doesn't want to work for.
THANK YOU all Especially you Cyanogen
I second that- Thanks to all you hard working devs- Chris
