I have some 60 day trial medical software that costs a pretty penny. By using the "clear storage" function, the WM6 registry etc should be returned to factory fresh state, right?
I'll use a virtual machine to install the software to my Wing. That should work right?
NS
yes, in theory, it should work.
However, it's like killing babies. Don't do it.
Support the developers, they really need it.
And i'm being nice.

The software in question is at www.epocrates.com
If you want to make yourself feel a little better about helping me to not support this developer (which I DO appreciate, even though I was 99% sure it would work anyway)
1. this program costs $199 per year
2. Over half a million health care professionals use their products (they aren't a struggling, almost-certain-to-fail startup)
3. as a 3rd year medical student, I'm just under $200,000 in debt and before I graduate you can tack another $60k or more onto that
4. I may someday be caring for the medical needs of you or someone in your Monkeysphere
Thanks again, xda rulez!

wow thats quite an expensive subscription...but I guess its worth it for an important up to date database such as this.

We will remind you of this when you have had a few years of practice under your belt and we don't pay YOUR bill. I mean after all, after a few years and many hundreds of patients, you won't be a struggling start up operation either.

Doesn't anyone find it odd that we are paying out huge sums of cash for a Linux based OS that is free to use?
Because the cost of the handset doesn't factor into it at all :face palms:
I mean they handed us a broken toy and we fixed it for them with no pay and they sold it back to us as an update, now we are fixing it up more. Hopefully when Android 114.6 rolls out some devs. will for a union of some kind and make some cash from big business instead of settling for the 2.99 that their brothers and sisters are downloading.
Next time put the bong down and think before posting.
Here's your basic argument in another context:
The internet is free so why do we spend so much money on computers to browse web pages?

Compare prices for free vs paid OS on the same specs. Shouldn't there be a decent difference between the two?

But who is it that decides the devs have been screwed. Is it you? I think that honor goes to each individual who bought the phone. You don't get to determine that someone else has been screwed just because your panties are in a bunch over something related to your phone.
The cost of a non open source operating system on a phone is going to be so heavily subsidized, I'd be surprised if the additional cost was more than a couple of dollars/pounds/whatever. Bottom line is that you're just paying for the device whichever route you take.
Also consider how long android has been out, it is definitely the quickest maturing mobile platform around. Anyone remember the state wm was in at this age?
Edit: I think the developers would rather be "screwed" as you put it in order to bring about progress in a timely manner. That's what open source is all about!

First off, that's a toaster I want.
Second off, you're absolutely right. It's not about the money, it's about taking your phone to the next level and being able to say you were the one who got it there first. I and thousands of others have nothing but respect for these developers and a lot of us give them both props and donations for their work. I'm sure the donations are nice, but I doubt there are many devs on XDA who started writing ROMs and compiling kernels because they thought it would make them rich.
Don't understate the motivational power of random people coming into your thread to say "Your work is awesome, keep it up, and how cool would it be if it did this too?" For some people the respect is all they need, since genuine respect can't be bought, it can only be earned.

There are like what almost 3,000,000 people on this forum right? Well if you all just donated one dollar to me or your pocket change for the day that you throw in on the counter everyday i could become a multi millionaire in less that an hour! Or if Bill Gates is out there and is secretly an XDA member and is feeling a little generous today his chunk change is welcome as well.

Do bad I'm in the TEEN years, right? Like 4-TEEN! 5-TEEN! 6-TEEN!
Its easy to say there are so many members on this website and how if each members donates 1$.
But the problems is :
1. They should have online money transfer account. i.e paypal.
2. Credit card is mostly needed.
3. Amount in there account.
4. Facility to transfer money from there account to your account. If both have paypal accounts is good but if one has alertpay and other paypal. its hard to transfer.
5. 1$ is ok but in that there are fees will have to be cut.
6. Finally the donors interest and willings for donation.
So taking these into consideration, there are very less ppl. Atleast in this website, atleast I what I know, even atleast what I believe.
But the amazing fact is, how that Wikipedia got 11 million dollars.
I'm already a multi-millionaire

I do not want to be the asshole here but should we really support someone who has not enough money to buy the glasses to take a loan to get them? I think we should help op rethink this they will be avaible in a cheaper and more consumer ready version within a year or something. but his loan will be influenceing him for at least that time. if you haven't $1500 as playmoney you should never spend it on something like that use ur money for education so that you have 1500$ as playmoney soon.

That would be correct. After you verify your device you will be prompted to pay $20 via PayPal. At that point you will gain access to the Mofo.exe tool to flash the rooted system image.

I think charging for root is going to start becoming more common man. The first time I paid for a service was on my M8 to get BL unlock. It's easy for those of us who use root and such to expect it to be free because it historically has been but if you think about the time, bricked devices and all the crap devs have to deal with then it is totally worth it to compensate them. Previously sharing their work free of charge was a gift to us all, not a right.

Because these huge bounty threads get made for thousands of dollars and few ever pay.
20 dollars is chump change, and if its not, then that person has no business living on welfare while sporting an expensive smartphone.
You are paying for their work, not your appreciation.
Development like this is not a non-profit charity that runs off of donations. It was a lot of hard work and without it, root wouldn't even be here. So, pay for their time and effort, or don't.
Such is the price of specialized skills. You either learn how to do it and do it yourself, or you pay someone else to. A lot like changing the oil in your car.
Totally agree that we should not expect a free root exploit. This is the first time that I have had to pay but happily paid the $20. Well worth it for software that was proven to work just for a specific device. The choice is yours to wait for someone to provide a free service, however this may not happen for a long time if ever. Would also pay (depending on cost) to have an unlocked bootloader if that ever become available.
