Paying for custom roms?

Expect v14 mid-late next week. It will be a major update to v13, some packages will be coming from htc leo so they are very new

I encourage everyone who can to donate in order to support the development on the Vogue.

I thought this was a hobby???????????? I do not mind donating but thats just begging.

that guy is an idiot. He thinks he can hold the vogue community to ransom because there are alot of people who think that he is gods gift to rom making and they have made it very clear that without him the vogue rom development will die, i say what a crock of S***, if he wants to leave or stop delevopment because of various reasons, let him go, as i believe there are some good vouge chefs Vin, WDM, jtuite, Andrew Welton, over here at PPC geeks that are just as clever as him, and also have the backing of Vogue community for help, we all share over here and help each other to the best of our ability with problems, and to be honest with u his roms - never read so many posts about issues with his rom, To say the a rom is going to be released and then very next sentence to " encourage everyone to donate to support deleopment on the vogue" is downright rude, we dont need this guy to continue development of vogue roms.

So you going to be putting out a version vin. I'm using your latest version now, not that there is anything wrong with it, but got the itch to flash hehe.

I don't see the problem here.

NFSFAN is releasing his Vogue ROM whether or not you donate to him. Many ROM authors/bootloader hackers/3rd party application developers seem to be asking for donations before major releases come out. I'm sure they've spent a long time testing/debugging/tinkering and if you enjoy what they do it may be nice to try and help compensate them for their time. They're asking, not requiring.

It isn't as if he is CHARGING MONEY for the ROM itself. If he did, there would be many people pissed at him... including some copyright holders (i.e.: Microsoft).

There is nothing new to see here. Move along!

Im ok when people ask for donations,its normal..
On the other side,of course he will release it just to proof that he is still capable to cook better then others,which is going to be very difficult for him lol

I don't think we should bash NFSFANs, he has done alot for the vogue and the community. I don't really believe he has said give me money or I will stop, at least I don't think so. I used his roms, and they are all right, but I prefer VINS roms myself. They work great and I don't really have to do anything to them, except add a couple of cabs.
