[size=+2] NO MORE DONATIONS NEEDED[/size]
[size=+2] Phone purchased from leoiden[/size]
We all know how much P1tater has helped and contributed to this community. I thought it might be a good thing if we all chipped and showed him some support after all the help and support he has provided. He unfortunately had an accident and his phone ended up destroyed. How about we all chip in a little and get him a refurbished phone? What do you guys think???
I will be accepting the money on P1tater's behalf. Whatever you guys can chip in would be greatly appreciated.
$320 US Dollars donated as of May 5th, 2008 9:00pm PST.

I dont trust my money in your hand !
kidding , I am actually working out some hot deal for a brand new tilt . If it went through, he will get a tilt for deep discount. If not , my money in your bank.
i know its not much but i just donated $20. he's never personally helped me, but i certainly do appreciate what he does for this community
EDIT:
oh wait, i have downloaded from his 4shared folder......so there you go, thanks for that tater
Nice work guy's we are already up to $75
Can you outline what he has done for the community? I am up for donating by all means.
However, I don't believe I've ever used any of his ROM's, and I don't know what other contributions he's done. Has he made tools for use to developers and such?
Sell me with the points and things he's been credited for and I'll definitely donate. Just curious for what he's known for here. ;-)

P1 has done a lot for this forum including support a lot of people that needed help. Aside from that I am sure he has helped many cooks testing their work before they published it to this forum. He has done beta testing for ROMS that you might have used in the past or might be running now. I see him as one fo the key people that keeps information moving in this forum. Those are just my two cents.
-McMex
Here are my 10$!
Pleased to help the forum.
Still no need of specific help, but doing my homework - who knows for tomorrow???
Indeed, an oiled phone lets you always make very fluid calls.....
$25 sent just a minute ago. Don't ask about the email address... it's left over from my days of running a Video Game Emulation site...
hi,
Ok, donation made, you can add another 15$
This way he can buy a brand new castrol... ops, i mean another kaiser...
glad to helt such a great member of this community.
cheers

ohhh myyyy gooood, you have got to be kidding me, the man dropped his phone in oil, if you want to donate then do so, if not don't, p1tater has a BIG reputation, the fact that he has a FTP site for everyone to use was well worth the donation i made. you can find all kinds of cool FREE software to download for FREE. If thats not justification for a donation i don't know what is. Also if you had dropped your phone in oil and helped a bunch of people on here wouldn't you hope that others would donate. Just for the fact of being able get him a new device so he can help beta test to make the programs you download work properly. you should be ashamed of even righting what you did.
For Tater I'll throw in $40.
Tater is the bomb.

Nobody need to sell you the idea because this is a DONATION.
Engrish is my 2nd language but I do understand the meaning and spirit of the word. If you dont , please look up in the dictionary.
Extra money in the pot is good , but there is no one come after your ass for this donation. If you care, thanks for your support. If you dont, mind your own business mate.
Can you sell me your idea of writing your post ? maybe penis envy or small man complex. You aint losing no money so drink your anger management pill and relax. Or just spend that extra money on some grass and call it a day.
important factor: P1tater himself did not ask for any donation. We doing it not for benefit nor fame , not even to prove that my pocket is deeper than yours. We do it cuz he is our fellas in the XDA care bear club.
Beside working on a new cheap Tilt, I guess $20 would help a bit. Its few weeks until my next pay check , but hey, p1tater may slit his wrist with his V3 by then .
He has not directly help me anything ,but I looted his cab here and there . and we all should not ignore the fact that his ****ty attitude keeps stupid post away !!!
ATW !! you should start doing some smart to keep the pot update man
p/s , ****, my paypal is screwed upon me . will send it as long as I get home to jump on my gf account lol

Will do I will add it to the first post
$165 US Dollars so far
i know its not much but
here is another 5 from me Alltheway. I know its not much but hopefully it helps; if i could i would definitly do more. P1tater does alot on this forum trying to help everyone out and it would be great if i can help him out by my donation.
p.s. we just need to make sure he does not end up dropping this one while working on his hot rod again ...
I'm kickin' in $5 just for all the times I've shot Red Bull out of my nose from reading his flames.
Sorry I can't give more, but they upped the rate on my truck insurance because I manage a business that does delivery in OTHER LOCATIONS!!!
Thank you so much to all who have donated so far
This is truly a great community indeed.

Hello everyone..
This I thought was something important that I decided to put in the theme thread since the above mentioned developer has had such an impact in the theming world.
So I was talking to cacheinjection just a few minutes ago on gtalk, and he unfortunately told me to let the xda community know that he will be leaving the android theming for a while.
He gave the reason as he was getting very busy with his job, and so does not have that much time right now(which i'm sure is true for most android developers since we can't be on xda all day every day), and also he expressed his discontent at people's lack of appreciation for all that he did/has been doing. He has been quite a revolutionary themer and most people would agree with me that the new things that he brought to the android scene, along with the help of other great developers: freekyfrogy and djosiah, made us love our g1's/mytouch 3g's all over again. With my time being on xda, I have seen this too many times where some ppl on xda actually end up pushing developers away because they do not realize that all developers have lives apart from the work they do for free for the xda community. I think it goes without saying that we as an xda community should show our appreciation to developers, as our way of saying thank you for taking time out of their day.
Excerpts from Conversation:
Cacheinjection: I feel pretty s*** about Android atm...People always want stuff, and never give anything back, not even thanks really. So I think I might give it up. I had a good run.
Cacheinjection: I think it might be very soon cos I don't see people caring anymore.
Cacheinjection: All people do is moan cos I haven't [done a specific thing]. F*** it. I'll just make my own fone pretty.
Cacheinjection: I have a pretty awesome job, I just like people to appreciate that I put my heart and soul into the stuff
Cacheinjection: It seems to me that if you need to tell people to appreciate what you do, they don't appreciate it
Cacheinjection: Let ppl know that I am taking a bit of time off of theme development. Things will get updated as and when..and I'll continue my work with Super D with Ben.
So there it is guys. If I were you, I would go over to his page, and to the pages of as many developers as you can find, and let them know how much you appreciate them. A donation never hurts either, if they have it on their page. So that's it. Just letting people know. Don't let any more developers make this decision also. Let them know you care. Thanks.
Shouldn't be to much of a surprise though, the things he say are pretty true though.

Very true. Also, I feel even worse for the Devs, they aren't that much more appreciated either! They make wonderful Roms and include awesome instructions yet people ask questions that are already answered and demand more and more and more. I don't know how some of them (including themers) put up with everything. Reading the posts people make in Rom threads make me go They want this, that, etc etc etc!
If only people took some more effort into doing some stuff themselves or even learning the basics, it would probably reduce a lot of these issues. I love when I see a theme release and people just ask for different stuff when they can do it themselves lol, I wonder if they even know how much time this stuff takes. I also don't think most of the people understand or know a thing about the Roms, other then flashing it! Which leads to more demands and devs that have to deal with it!
Just another example of a great developer being pushed away by unappreciative idiots on this forum. It's kind of sad really, alot of people have nothing better to do but to refresh the page every 5 seconds waiting for a new update (usually for a minor bug) even though an update was released just a few days prior. Better yet, the same people will b*tch and moan if a Dev hasn't put anything out for a week, while completely disregarding the fact that people like Cache work for free despite the fact they have actual lives outside of xda. This applies for ROMS and themes.
Xda should be a pay site and I'm serious. Either subscription based or download based. If not then this site will slowly die, do you think devs will continually put up with this crap over and over again? I have no problem paying a mandatory fee for an amazing theme or ROM. Nothing major, just a few dollars but at least the devs will get some guaranteed compensation.
Hope to see you back here Cache because despite the idiots, I do know there are alot of posters that appreciate your work.

Something like the membership @ modaco. People get angry when a new update doesn't come out which is ridiculous.
Cacheinjection Keep Your Head Up And I Also Want You To Know That You Are Appreciated By Me. Take As Much Time As You Need. Your Themes Are The Best And Will Always And Forever Be. Your A Tremendous Developer. Continue On Doing What You Do And Trust Me: You Will Be Missed A LOT!
Until Then...Keep Up The Marvelous Work
It seems people want things on there schedule and how they want it.. A dev developes for him/herself and then share with the community.. We shouldn't expect anything from them we should be happy that they took there time to make something for us (community)....
Appreciate you and your revolutionary designs for the Android Community... You will be missed a lot

Ah I'd be totally down for some kind of membership/subscription here (As long as it isn't too much! Just some membership thing would be nice)
And now that you guys mention people constantly wanting updates, that reminds me of how ppl appear to go crazy when Cyanogen doesn't release an update and think he's left the project to die cause of nexus one lmao. I personally think most of us will just keep wanting updates (flashaholics!), even at the point where updates are almost no longer possible!
It's terrible how all the complainers ruin it for all the people who truly do appreciate the devs work. The lurkers like me far outnumber the haters but the fact that we lurk is probably part of the problem. We'll miss him cache's work has definitely been some of the best.....the Darkstar theme is the best thing on any cellular device to date imho.
Sorry to see him leave, he will be missed.

but that fact aside...
u do amazing work...
ive been part of the android community since day 1 of the g1 being released...
i wasnt a linux geek or themeing master but i patiently waited...learned the tricks and began helping others...
it was fun to give people tips and tricks on how to do things
help run their roms on their phone when they cant anymore...
and i feel what ur saying
its hard to keep up with a community thats so young and wants everything quick...some people just dont realize the time that goes into it...
well i hope u do come back and if u keep ur themes for a select few i understand that...for peopel who donate and what not i would be more than willing to pitch in...everyone deserves payment for their work...nothing in this world is free
Sad, sad, sad...
Hope HE will be fine. It doesn't matter those people whose won't be getting his stuff, only HE matters.
So, if HE is allright, i'll be fine!
Good luck Mr.Cacheinjection!
damn this guy was my partner in crime lol. to be honest without cache here updates for elegance and darkstar will be very slow. he was the one who mostly updated these themes. its sad to see him go because he has taught me a lot and if it wasnt for his initial darkstar concept i wouldnt have gotten into themeing. hopefully he will be back sooner than we think.
@shadowch31 syaing that he 'bit off more then he chew' isnt a very fair statement to make. he chose to try and do all these things to help the community and when the community dont show appreciation they are just throwing it back in his face. im not having a go at you or anything, just thought it needed to be said.
Deleted...
I feel sorry about it, but I understand him, everyone who make themes/roms, would understand it too. Actually people, who never made anything, don't realize how hard is it, and how many hours we expend on it.
I also hate when people post negative comments like: "you should post concepts, or w.i.p, ...
I hope he doesn't leave forever, or even long, becuase we need him. He's one of the best, and always a good help for people like me.
I just want to thank him for everything he has made so far.

I would say though, shadowch31, that from all the conversations that i've had with cache, money is not his main thing for theming. The guy has a love for theming and he seems he just has a heart to share the ideas with people. Just to clear that up. What's wrong with donations anyway? More so to him? The guy has really been revolutionary with bringing new ideas to the table, and you're right..not everyone can donate, but those who can, it never hurts to send a dev some monetary thank yous. i've done so myself when i could cuz i know the time and effort it takes to make anything, from the smallest thing to the grandest. but yeah..i was just letting you know that that's not what cache is about here.

I agree, developers can sell their software in the market, themers share it here. Donations is a good way to push creators to keep working and creating.
And I think 1$ is not a big deal for anybody here, but together, it would be a nice reward for every developer.
But it's just my opinion
hey guys,
im just gonna chime in quick,
first off i wana say to shadowch31 none of this is aimed at you, you are awsome, and i dont think i would have done as much good worth without your enthusiasm.
And yeah i totaly love your british sense of humor, gtalk em if ya wana chat
yeah, this is most definitely not about money, I have a job, and that keeps me in beer and a roof over the head, in fact i was a little hesitant about adding donate links, cos i dont want people to give if they dont wana. its just about people appreciating work, also people letting us know they are still interested with what were doing, helps us know if we should continue to work on it for the comunity.
Anyway thanks for all the support, and i will be back, just having a breather.
Cache
Thanks for coming in Cache and clearing things up, I understand your words of enthusiasm a lot more than 'appreciated' but see how the two tie in.
Your right the community had somwhat abandonded Darkstar besides me and my motivational nagging and Elegance was getting the same besides the odd 'Can we have...' brigade. Gonna be sad to see you go fella but it is a well deserved break and one I understand, just looking at getting into theming myself and know it ain't gonna be a walk in the park and is gonna take a lot of time and effort. Was just gutted and upset to see such an asset to the themeing community leave and for what seemed like weak excuses but now you have explained I fully understand your decision.
I, like everyone else will miss ya fella and look forward to the day you feel like coming back and treating us all to your amazing work. Thanks for everything Cache, been a hell of a ride.
I too would like to say thanks Cache for what you've done for the community, and of course especially DarkStar.
To this date I still haven't abandoned the last update of DS that had Stericson's lockscreen lol. In fact, I'm actually keeping the theme for quite some time since SD 1.8 is stable and fast enough.
But yeah have fun with your break dude, and I look forward to your return.
Guys. Pray for me. I'm small and slow (kinda) and PROBABLY won't make the team. I say probably because they don't make cuts. Anywho. Like I said, pray for me.
So just incase you mother frickers didn't know, it's me. G1BRICKED/OG. Me spinks he's leaving too. Lets be honest man. It's high school. If you want to know more, ohh never mind it got deleted. But anyway, I've spent my life on the internet, 'bout time I move on. I have more to focus on. Friends. Family. Football. HIGH SCHOOL. Homework. Projects. Getting a girlfriend (Me? Get a girl? Yeah right!) Etc... And BTW, I'm only doing this because I'm mad at you guys for being meanie pantses. I mean, lesbihonsts,... you know what I mean. So I guess this is goodbye... again. And if you're going to rant about how lame this Thread is, just PM me so I can delete it. THANKS!

I'm sure you'll do fine, and good luck with the football, and life in general.
I don't know what happened etc with you quitting in the first place but still, it has been fun reading your posts - some made me laugh.
Take care
kind of had a hunch it was you, or some other pubescent kid....
how about you don't leave this time. It's obvious that you are hooked to this place. Keep the account and check it from time to time. Then when you are older you can come back and see how frustrating you could be.
Good luck with football. Even if you are small, it is fun to run aroundand hit people. I was a runt back in the day and even I got to joe theisman someone:

Hello everyone,
my name is Henri and I want you to gift me five thousand three hundred and eighty-nine dollars.
5437$ or about 4800€. (Rates May 13,2015 GMT)
If you have not clicked away yet, let me explain:
I live in Berlin, Germany and I am 21 years old.
When I was about 16 years old I was moderate to severe depressed. Thought about killing myself, cried myself to sleep et cetera. I don't want to go into detail with this, because you have all heard those heartbreaking stories before.
Anyway, I got over it. I did not go into therapy. Instead I decided to fix the problems which depressed me. Those were mostly that I did not have a social life at all and had a good amount of social anxiety.
I wasn't able to ask an elderly woman for the time on the streets, started sweating when people I didn't know talked to me in school and so on.
And obviously, I didn't have any female contact besides my mother and sister.
In 2011 I had a breakdown and decided that I had to change or I would eventually kill myself in a weaker moment.
I went out to fix my social life and become happy. And I succeeded.
Long story short: I pushed myself into social interactions, pushed myself to talk to girls. On this journey I found awesome friends, two especially which could not be closer to me. One of them had the same goals as I, wanted to overcome all social borders there are.
I also met a lot of great girls, eventually other guys asked me for advice.
I was the happiest person I knew.
This is when I and and the friend mentioned above decided that we could actually teach other guys to get to where we are.
We are currently building a German website where we want to give advice for young guys on talking to girls, fitness, having great sex, fashion, hygiene, motivation, discipline, managing happy relationships and ironically living a happy life.
Ironically, because right now I am depressed as f**k again. This is because I don't have money, my parents don't have enough to support me. I got a job, but I literally started crying there because I felt so miserable. At home I feel miserable because I have no money. I am working in sales without base salary.
My expenses are about 600€ a month. In Germany, parents get some money for their „childs“ as long as they study, so I get close to 200€ a month from them. 400€ left.
My options right now are :
1) „Manning up“ and work and hope that therapy fixes this.
2) Getting student loans and go to university in a field with which I will be able to pay back the roughly 20.000€ in loans, just so that I do not have to work right now and can put my energy into the website.
3) Moving back into my parent's place on the other side of the country and everything on hold. They live in small village, so I won't be able to meet and advice people, talk to girls, network etc.
I would give up everything I built here.
Yesterday I decided to give another idea a shot. The idea you are reading right now.
I figured if I could get 4800 people to give me 1€ each, I could live one year without stress.
12 months times 400€ is 4800€.
I am convinced that my website and other projects will make enough money for me after this year.
If not, and this is a very small if, I will be where I am right now again, hopefully with more valuable lessons learned, happy and therefore able to work a normal job if I have to.
You see, I am basically asking you for time. I realize that 1$/1€ isn't much, but if you gave it to everyone you'd be dead broke. I do not know how I can convince you that I deserve this money more than anyone else, but I know that all I need right now is this money to handle this situation and put all my energy into the website and hopefully helping others.
I am asking you to gift me your next coffee, ice cream cone or burger.
If just 1% of the people reading this decides to help me out with one dollar, I have to show this to 543,700 people.
This is why I actually looked up the biggest online communities and I am posting this to every single one that can somehow relate to my situation or the subjects of our site. Some just seem to have cool people in them.
As you will see, there isn't any content up yet. We already have a lot but want to publish about ten good articles for the start. And yes, this is a working-title
If this post gets removed because it violated any specific rule I understand that and want you to know that it wasn't on purpose. I also tried to post into Off-Topic or similar.
If you have any questions, I will answer them as soon as I can.
Please don't give us advice on the design or that wordpress „is bad“. I appreciate it, but I want to answer questions about the content, our goals and whatnot instead of discussing webdesign. So far we have been working on content only.
The site as it stands is just a vehicle for the donate page, since sites like „fundme“ take 30cents per donation plus fees.
Again, all I am asking for is 1$ to solve all my problems for one year.
Thank you for your time.

While many of us, myself included, sympathize with your issue, this site is not the place for raising funds for yourself. This is against forum rules and is simply not allowed.
Thread closed.
Now, first thing first I am definitely not a blogger so I don’t know how to write articles etc. but I always want to share my thoughts and sake of Christmas spirit hell yeah, I am writing this.
So, it starts from childhood, the starting line of everything. My childhood is pretty average and my parents and this amazing wonderful world (in child’s eye) thought us nobody does anything for free specially favors. In some cases, it may not seem like, but there is always reason behind every favor you got from anybody in your entire life and that is how world works. This is hard coded in our brain by evolution.
So, after figuring this out, it become hard to believe in anybody who does amazing things just for us without expecting anything. that’s why it is hard to believe in Santa clause. really, who does that, give us gifts fulfilling wishes just for being nice and a glass of milk and cookie. I don’t think so.
Everybody knows there is no actual Santa Claus but still, we celebrate Christmas. Why, wait the big question is for whom? Who made this possible, putting us into full Christmas spirit mode. I can only imagine our beloved Santa can do that. Wait so is there a Santa or not.
Yes, there is, not one but thousands if not millions Santa’s operating undercover hidden behind aliases of parents, relative, friends and making Christmas possible every year.
And that’s not it, there are more and one of them are our precious developers, making unimaginable things possible. Their service is not limited to Christmas or another festival season. They work all year around fulfilling our wish lists. Spending hours doing hard work just to make our life easier, solving problems, presenting gifts. All this without expecting nothing more than a coffee or snack.
There is a Santa more than one, hidden behind every developer.
Santa clause is important, but these peoples are more important who made Christmas possible. And now it’s our turn to become Santa for them.
So, at this Christmas I want you to become Santa for your favorite developer and made their Christmas special than ever before by donation or however you like.
I know I used word Santa a lot and it is confusing but I guess I am sorry about that English is not my first language.
1. Why I wrote this article?
Because I want to inspire people, like Saint Nicolas did. So, become generous be thankful to everyone who made your life easier.
2. What is my inspiration behind this?
Just few hours ago an amazing developer, helped me and compiled a test version of an xposed module just for me. The public version was not working for me, I can’t believe that he did it on same day I did not even asked for it. I don’t know about you but this made my Christmas 10 times special.
Thanks a lot, you are amazing! I have not mentioned his name but guess if he is reading this he knows, and that’s all I want.
So, stay sweet this Christmas, become generous, become Santa
whats the point of this?
