UPDATE: An anonymous contributor is going to help me get the phone for $150. I am going to need enuff for $150 plus tax plus shipping (overnight preferrably so he can get started asap). So with that being said if you use the donate to me button on my profile or send the payment to paypal email jjhudson1 at gmail.com we can get this ship sailing. For the sake of transparency I plan on only using enough money to cover costs and any other money that comes in I will find a fair way to take care of either by giving money back or donating to another dev or even start funding for another dev like EvilD to get a phone. I AM NOT TRYING TO MAKE A PROFIT, and I will even show receipts upon request if anyone asks me to. Also if you don't feel like getting charged the paypal commision fee and want 100% of your donation to go towards the phone, select the payment as personal -> gift to avoid the paypal transaction fee.
Ok people, Zinx was the clear winner of our dev wishlist poll, so now it's time to step up and show your contributions to our community. Kmobs recommended Zinx to take over the MT4G CM6 port, and Zinx has agreed to start working on it. Now we just need to step up and help him get this phone.
A little info on Zinx for those who might be unfamiliar:
- Core contributor to the G2 CM6 port
- Ported CM kernel to the MT3G 3.5mm
- Contributed work on battery issues on Dream/Sapphire
- TeamDouche member recommended by Kmobs to help us with our CM6 port.
That being said, just to make sure everyone's clear by accepting the phone Zinx is committing to giving his full effort into getting the port working completely as soon as possible. But there is no guarantee the video issues effecting the camera will be worked out. The camera issues are indeed one hairy beast, but kmobs seemed confident Zinx is our best shot at getting this thing figured out.
I'll start things off by contributing $20 for now. Please show your support and help us get this thing done. Also if you have an upgrade that you would be willing to share to help us get Zinx a MT4G, they would expedite the process greatly.
Goal for Zinx Achieved: Waiting for paypal to give me the damn moniez so we can get the phone

Count me in for $20.
Presume we're targeting the $399 no-contract price unless someone comes through with an upgrade?
Seems many are loving the Iced Glacier ROM, but I just can't stand mySense. Used CM6.1 alpha for a few weeks till I had to do an exchange due to creaking Menu button and an off-center FFC. I'm waiting for a beta release to go back since I need camera & video working to make it a daily ROM.
Come on peeps! $5, $10, $20+ is a small investment to get some official CM lovin' on this phone. Let's get Zinx a MT4G so we can get a quality ROM!

I will contribute 20 dollar
I'm about to leave from will send the money once I get home

Count me in for 20.00. Small contribution to have CM on the mytouch 4g. Good luck!

First and foremost THANK YOU for all your hard work and dedication to giving us some of the best toys around!
We all know that the biggest issue with running Hero on the G1 is the lack of speed. The second biggest issue (for me) is the lack of Bluetooh. So in hopes of motivating developers(and we all know money makes the world go round). I will donate/pay the first developer/xda member that gets Bluetooth working $100 COD of FULLY WORKING ROM!!!!
Im sure im not the only one that would benifit from this.
Now to make this interesting and more competitive, I will break it down like this:
$200 - 96hrs (4 days) ($50 each - ccyrowski and thedominator)
$100 - 120hrs (5 days)
$50 - 148hrs (6 days)
$25 - 182hrs (7days)
So if someone gets it working with the next 96hrs I will donate/pay $100, if it takes 182hrs I will ONLY donate/pay $25.
Now if others want to donate to the Hero Bluetooth fix, let me know. ([email protected])
Im sure $200 can buy Haykuro a few weeks worth of Nesquik, Cyanogen a keq of beer and pork rinds.
As for the rest, I dont know what you can spend $200 on, smokes, crack, hookers what ever floats your boat.
(If this is posted in the wrong section, I apologize)

I am sincere.
But I think it should be 48 hours for the the full amount ( $100, $50, $50) the half for 72 hours.
But we should really do it up and benchmark it against Fatal1ty or JACHero 2.2 or something along those lines to determine the winning entry.

I disagree!!
I would HATE to have features I dont like from another ROM in the ROM that I do like!
What I am getting at is WiFi works in one rom but not another, Exchange works in one but not another, Bluetooth works in one not another. I consider these to be core applications that should work and obviously they can because they are working in different ROM's. I would just like to see a ROM with a core set of apps working with decent speed.

So if there is a ROM A and a ROM B and they get together and made a ROM C... You don't want them to make a ROM C because it somehow takes away from ROM A?
It wouldn't affect the users of current ROMs. This is about getting people together to make one NEW ROM not take over another ROM. So, I think they SHOULD collaborate.

4G wasn't an issue for me before but now that I moved to an area with 4G it can actually be useful to me.
Mrono - $5 (for now)
The CM6 team is pretty good, I think they are the best bet to actually get it working, if they can't...you guys might have a tough decision to make!
I'm hoping you guys get it because even tho my opinion on that rom isn't very good, a lot of people love it.
Put me down for $50.
Swyped from my EVO via the XDA App
wow they confirmed no 4G? sorry to say that's a deal breaker for me, I just flashed RC2 and was playing with it... I live in a 4G city and was hopeful, but if I got nothing to hope for... sorry to say I will be moving on.
Too bad - they did some great work.
Stopped playing with cyan's rom cuz i knew they could not figure out 4g to work with their kernel and build. Guess everyone is human lol.

4G on CM6
Count me in for 10 bucks too!!
Wow. CM6 team is awesome, but this is a dealbreaker. It is like saying here is a Ferrari but it can only go 65 MPH.
If you're not willing to put some money in the pot and hope for the best, why even comment? If no 4G is a *deal breaker* for you then take your month-long member status and find the ROM that works for you. No need to even comment.
Put me down for $20.
Cyanogen mod Roms and kernels are really the best out in the open source arena for Android hands down. They are not rethemed, apt removed blah blah blah roms from phone vendors which makes them very buttery smooth as some say. I've used every Rom on xda for evo and I have 4g in kc with very fast speeds... like 10mbps in some areas but I go back to cyan cause there are never any delays in scrolling, opening apps, switching between apps, you name it... hands down the best.
Anyway, I'm in for $20.

$20 here, I'm only avoiding CM because of 4G unfortunately.

not to start any flames, but it basically says that my opinion on the internet is worthless unless I'm willing to cough up money?
it's the internet... everyone's opinons are equally worthless. This is the tread I found out about no 4G in Cyanogen, so just deal man.
Just for clarification...
Are the donations being made once 4G is available on CM6?
Or are they being given right now in hopes that 4G might possibly some day come to CM6?

There's zero chance for it to be in 6.0 since its being released RSN.
Madcoder has been working on it. Its not that we don't think its important, the issue is that its a massive amount of nontrivial work.

Hear, hear! Well said, Kiraly.
This thread was started to thank the CM6 team for their efforts in the form of monetary support.
Furthermore, we are attempting to show them that 4G is truly important to us, and that we're willing to pay to have it on our devices.

I know he's working on it, and I appreciate that it takes a massive amount of work.
That is the purpose of this thread. We appreciate your efforts, and we are hoping to contribute some money to the cause.
Your time is worth money, and if it takes more time and more people to compile and write the code for 4G on CM6, we want to pay you for it.
I called it 2 months ago....
That's too bad, I was really looking forward to using CyanogenMOD on the Evo... No matter now anyways, since I'm getting the Epic. Hope it works out guys!

Update: I picked up Zinx and Evil's phones and hope to ship them today
Ok you guys should know the drill for now. We were able to collect the funds for Zinx's phone in less than a day. Granted that was with a special deal to get the phone on the cheap that I don't know if we will be able to do again. But I am confident we can get the funds collected to get eVil D a phone. Click my "donate to me" link to contribute. I am in NO way making a profit from this and am only using money to cover expenses. Like always if I will furnish receipts on request. If you don't want to your charged the paypal fee and want 100% of your donation to go towards the fund, chose to send it as a personal gift (which it is).
Right now we are shooting for the out of contract price of $399, unless someone has an upgrade they would like to donate to the cause.
For those unfamiliar with eVil D, he has worked on sense ports of the Desire, Desire HD, and MT4G for the N1 and the G2. He has agreed to work on the MT4G as well, provided we can provide him with a test device.
So let's start this off again and see how quickly we can get another awesome dev working on our device.

Pay day is Wednesday.
Looks like we have about $100 left-over from @Zinx donations once everyone gets their act together. That's a good headstart

As you may have noticed I was not maked down as paid for Zinx's phone b/c as soon as I found out we could get it for $150 I was already planning on donating to the eVil D fund....well that and it's kind of silly to donate money to my own paypal account only to transfer it back to my bank account.

We don't actually send the donations until we have enuff pledged to cover the amount. So you can still pledge something now. If we were to actually reach our total before Wednesday we would understand if you had to wait.
Heading to my buddies to give him the money to transfer to you. Thank you so much for doing this for the community. And I'm sure the devs don't mind the free devices ;]
Good karma!

i just wanna see some DEV luv for the glacier.
Just to clarify. I get paid on friday. If this is still going I will happily donate. Ill even donate more than $10 if needed. If you look around xda forums in the glacier threads, I try to help people out with questions and always offer a hand etc. I just dont want people thinking im all talk when it comes to donations. But il be more than glad to donate asap

I sent a pack of condoms. Not much for now,but its something. Once we get a solid Rom ill sent more to the Dev.

I'd like to thank you on behalf of everyone in this gorum. That is a very generous dination.
Sent from MT4G.
He's a great dev that's done some superb blind work for us but he needs a phone.
If we can raise enough it would greatly help this community. I would be happy to start the ball rolling with $30.
Update:
It's been decided to send Erik the money directly via PayPal. His address is [email protected]
We can then copy proof of payment to this tread.

Great guy to work with and I can say I have learned a ton in a few short weeks. Lets get him a phone so can make this phone even better and I will take a case of red bull for the late night testing. Lol seriously if you get something together , I'm in for $20

Thanks guys

40 for me, wers the paypal link?
@the thread if you guys are donating and want to make sure funds are properly used
have someone get the money together and buy the phone and ship it to me...just so you
guys don't think i will take the money and use it on something else.
Edit: just saying this because most of you guys don't know me personally nor have used my prior rom for sgs4g.
I can do 10 now another 10 next paycheck. But how are we going to do this? The only way I actually think will work is sending erikmm the money and trust him to buy the blaze. Or if he came out with another badass update. And he wouldn't release download link unless donated first.
So I guess we would have to take a poll for who would donate for update download link. After poll we can figure out how much each person. Would have to pitch in for erikmm to collect $580 (that's how much I paid after tax) to buy the blaze. What does everyone think? How about you erikmm?

Erikmm is correct that we should nominate someone to handle it. as to $580, we can probably do better.
http://us.webuy.com/product.php?sku=SSAMT769TMOC
granted it's C quality, but what does one really need in a dev phone?
Brand new Galaxy S Blaze 4G is sold at $349 on eBay
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-BOX-Sam...0732617648?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item43b103afb0
It's even cheaper for a used one in great condition, around $240 on Craigslist.
As long as the phone is fully functional so I can test everything then the phone can be used...just make sure it isn't blacklisted so I can fix wifi calling and the apn issue.
I have an s2 for personal use so this phone would be a dev phone
Last time I got a phone donated the users sent me the money bc I had a deal with another user to buy his phone it was all done publicly so the community can see. I say the cheapest/safest way to get it would be ebay because it has some guarantee that if the product doesn't work then you can open a case with PayPal

See that the #1 question. I have PayPal and have no problem doing so, but sure other people do to. Its either gunna have to be someone with the most posts and thanked (which isn't me)
But me personally I would feel most comfretable with erikmm doing it. But if he doesn't want to or if you guys don't trust him why would you trust someone else?
Either way were gunna have to do a tally for who is willing to pitch in and how much. Just don't be shaddy and back out cause that will get us nowhere
+1 $20 trevor7428
(I think would be less confusing if each person can copy name above and add there name under instead of a bunch of +1s everywhere. Would add people above but don't no if there still in)

i would do it you guys can look thru my threads on xda and see i got one donated *granted it was only $70 but still*
my idea would be you guys send me the paypal donation and paste you transaction id with quantity here? that way it's public and i'll look/we can all look for a cheap one on ebay?
once we hit that point then i'll buy it and have at it? lol
Router for erikmm?
Erikmm,
Not sure if this helps you, but I have a Netgear WNDR3700 router which I don't need. I could ship to you and you could sell on ebay or something and use the proceeds towards the phone.
Or I could ship to someone else who is willing to list it and sell it and them give you the proceeds.
I think its worth around $70 or so.
I just don't have the time to list it and sell it and do all that stuff... but I cold easily just ship it. Thoughts?

lol if I had cash i'd buy the router from you cus mine is ****ting out lol.
but sounds great if someone could put it up, I've been looking for work lately and school those two things take up my time and free time goes to deving thanks man hopefully we get an awesome guy willing to put it for sale
I really like the work erikmm has done for our phone. I dont think anyone else has made an actual working rom with such few issues for our phone. I think getting him a phone so he can help our community would be a huge asset, and im willing to donate also. I dont want to see this phone get left behind, and I do miss flashing different roms like I did with my Vibrant.

Since you need the router, and I don't, and I have been using your ROM... how about you just PM me your address and I'll send it to you. Just promise to keep the Blaze work going as much as you can!

Trust me the work has not stopped. We have been trying various ports over the last few weeks. Erikm and I have been trying but without the phone his efforts are limited. Hopefully he gets the device and then things will start rolling

OK. I guess sending Erik the cash via PayPal and posting proof of it here is the way. Let's get rolling Erik what's your PayPal address?

Since I've been rooting and using custom ROMS, this is the 3rd great dev I've seen that has needed a new device to continue his/her fine work. x0xhellx0x with the LG G2x, dropped his phone and we the community rallied and bought him another phone to continue developing his HellFire series. Civato's Acer A500 died on him and the community again rallied to replace his A500, to continue his development.
I'm new to the A700, love what I see in this ROM and would like to see development continue. Let's all get together and see if we can help keep Vorbeth continue developing for our device.

I posted that last month and after getting Vorbeth permission, we are finally here. Now to get to the meat of the matter. It's gonna take around $600 to get this done (A700, shipping, taxes, and paypal fees). We need to know if there is enough monetary commitment here. So let's see those first, then I'll post a donate link. I don't want to get through the hassle of returning money to someone who didn't read this. :drool
I'm in for $10 now, more to come.
[UPDATE] We have reached our goal of $300. I will be purchasing a used a700 from amazon.co.uk for $£190 and getting it shipped to Vorbeth
A701
and $10 from me.
$50 From the Antinerd, to pick up the pace a little ... not that much considering what I paid for this tablet!
Thanks bud.
Would you believe it costs the same to buy in U.S. and ship to U.K. as it is to buy in U.K.
50$ from me
Running total
So far the running total is: $120
I think an UK a700 is cheaper than a US one + taxes.
Is there a british hère to confirm ?
I'm good for $25.
$10.00 from me too!
15€ from me

It is a little cheaper to buy one off of amazon.co.UK, difference is about $4 cheaper. The goal of $600 has wiggle room to cover PayPal fees and any last minute costs.
$25 from me.
€10 (If it's still a valid currency) that equals $13.
Here in the Netherlands this tab costs around €400 -> $520 (maybe usefull for the comparison it's an awfull lot more expensive then in the us)

When we get enough commitments, say $400, then we'll open donations. If you want to find the best price, start then. Could use the help. I'm just organizing because I want more developers for our tablet.
Re: The Official Vorbeth A700 Replacement Fund
What about getting a second hand A700? It is about a year old there so easy to find...
Sent from my A700 using xda premium
Is it enough to buy Vorbeth a Tablet?
Does he needs also a LAPTOP or PC for cr-development?
Personally, I want Vorbeth to have something reliable to develop for. Don't want him to get a tab that's been messed with by someone who doesn't know what they are doing.That's why I prefer to get him, but I'm just someone who wants to get a dev back developing.
Running total: approx. $210
Where are all the people who use Vorbeth's rom and kernel? Lets give him a hand!
