Ok well then i guess you are just cheap, and cant be thankful. Maybee you should right your own code then.

Read my first post, two more posts up from the one you replied to for more detail. I just got my phone, it has a gimpy C key (only works with very hard presses, unusable for normal typing). Store said they'de provide replacement since it's been an issue since day one. Just gotta wait on them to get more in stock (should be this week). I waited for months for my carrier to get the TP2. It was released on the 22nd of November through my carrier and I showed up to buy one and was told to wait a couple days till they ran their black friday/four day sale. Needless to say I wasn't the only one who knew about it and they sold out fast (esspecially since they were literally giving them away during this four day/black friday sale). They were sold out within 6 hours of day 1. I was quite upset I hadn't went ahead and purchased it at the date of release. Lucky for me the store already had a shipment in transit that arrived the last day of the sale. That's when I got mine.
You will also note in my first post to this thread, I called the ungrateful people who wouldn't donate to good people for good work "bad folk". If I tried their unlocker on this phone to make some quick ROM tests before returning it (is always the chance something could go wrong) and liked the option of flashable ROMs enough to make use of it for personal use, and wanted to run it on the phone I end up with for the long term, I likely would donate. I do not consider myself "bad folk" and have been compiling a list of the otherwise free and unlimited themes and addons and programs that I find useful to donate to.
They claim "free for personal use". I understand my situation is unique, and could fully accept that. But I just sat and read this thread beginning to end. There are many issues with people unable to run it once,, acknowledged by cmonex. He even stated he would discuss raising the limit to two with his partner. It would eliminate the issues with the few folk that can't get it to run the first time, and also for some of those that get a first replacement device (such as myself). This is still far from allowing commercial use.
They need to quit calling it a donation, it is trialware at best. They need to come up with a method of protection that doesn't rely on any form of limitations to what it's actually intended to be, which is free for personal use.
If programming of any sort was my profession or hobby, I likely would write my own code for many things. If I wanted to create (or in this case alter) something such as this for personal use and use of a community, that's what it would be. If it was a commercial venture, that's fine too, but at least say so.
