Second, I'm a bit confused - who should I donate paypal to? Is there a specific account which the devs split or is there a certain dev behind most of this?

It's hard to say. I believe (please correct me if I'm wrong) the only Winmo device that seems to be close to 100% is the Vogue (the original Touch).
So it's definitely in the realm of possibilities. But you also have to be understand that that one device among many Winmo devices that are out there.
I guess the moral of the story is be very hopeful and optimistic but don't hold your breath. If you really want Android, just get a dedicated Android device.

The speakers actually work fine, it's the audio driver and volume control that has yet to be fully ported.

Have you contributed anything other than a complaint...even a bug report? Have you offered anything other than the fact that you feel entitled to run another OS on the Rhodium 400/500? Are you programming on the port? Did your Touch Pro 2 Windows Mobile 6.1 or 6.5 license expire and all the sudden you MUST run a free OS or else you have a $500+ paper weight?

Geez man, the people who CAN do this crap don't necessarily sit in their basement staring at their screens until their eyes bleed and a foley catheter so they don't even have to get up to pee! Give 'em a break. It's specialized hardware, a custom OS and everyone who's working on it has a life, JUST LIKE YOU (hopefully) so I would politely suggest that you either back off or go buy a NEXUS ONE!

Sheesh!

We have been just ignoring these type posts and eventually they will go away. There is no need to post this. Please don't clutter the thread on flaming someone that asked something. Your post is just as annoying as his.

so when will the speakers work so we can hear the apps we download and ringtones?

[keywestboi2005]

Haha yeah i just cant wait for the HTC Evo

So, I have this up and running from a release in mid-March I think, to update what files do I need from the zip? I know Zimage and rootfs, anything else?
