If you look through the (rather long!) thread you will see places to donate. The way it works is that when you donate, the developer sends you a password for a repository where you can download the beta version. NOTE: The last time I looked, the developer was having some sort of problem with PayPal and asked that people stop donating for a while. He also said something about stopping his work on Helix for a short time while he sorts something else out. So if you want to try Helix out, you might want to go with the version that is currently on the market.
MicroNix - So far, Helix is VERY fast on my stock Droid. You report your experience and I'll report mine. If it starts to slow down or force close, I'll report it. But so far, it's very zippy with zero lag, faster than stock. And I added 2 more screens to bring the total up to 7 screens.
Update: I've had helix for about a week. I've had 2 or 3 force closes - but they were pretty quick and painless. I got a message saying that the program needed to close. I clicked ok and then the home page reappeared instantly with no other action on my part. And then I was back in business. So the few force closes I've had have been painless.
