Here we go again :) Donation/Hacker Fund for beer and profit. AOSP thunderbolt - Thunderbolt General

Hey Guys,
Here we go again. G2/nook. now TB.
Who is in for making donations to make a fully working AOSP or CM7 version of thunderbolt (mecha) with FULL LTE/3G and WIFI. Everything must work. Or bounty will not be collected and returned to people.
Rules:
1) As above. Everything must work!
Wifi/ Blue tooth / video / cam back and forth / video / full playback of video (no hacks) smooth video playback even on youtube.
You may donate as much as you want:
I have been known to do this for the community. The person/group who gets it. Can give it to charity to xda or buy beer. I really don't care.
Donation link: Removed Link [Under Moderator Review]
If people dont like this idea. Please state below and I shall remove this post or have a mod do so.
Thanks!

Reserved.
Also. Mod if you feel this needs to go to general. You may move it. Sorry if i mis-placed this.

Why are we doing this when someone is working on it already?

agreed ^^ CM is almost done, they have lte working and 3g, just finishing up on wifi, blue tooth and some others. Cyan said in his interview nightlies should start soon.

Most of that is already working in CM7, is it not? No need for a bounty imo, they will get it if its not done already.

Oh well. Lets see what people think. Sharing is caring

I don't think its a bad idea as some may, I know cyanogen's peeps are working on it but cyanogen and his team aren't the only developers out there who may wanna get in on this. I say go for it, competition is always a good thing! As long as the person or persons who release it first get the donations promised go for it. Moved to general.

Wow this why I like the Eris community better. No one asked for bounties, and everyone got along. This is ridiculous, when you bought the phone, you paid for what you got and if u want something else then wait till the devs do it at their own pleasure.

I don't like this idea and will be reviewing this thread with other mods.

If u want to donate u should look for a way too donate to slayer and his crew who r spendn a lot of their time to get this up and running for us..

Also the donations for the Nook were never for a bounty. It was to get more devices to more devs in hopes of getting something going.

Sure.. while I'm at it, I'll also donate to your "Wedding fund", Which when clicked, takes you to your "Dev Phone" fund. Geez man.. how many donation scams are you running? lmao, get a J-O-B.
inb4 Op makes $200,000/yr has 3 houses and 4 cars and I'm a loser.

Yea i'd say shut this down and donate straight to cyanogen if you want.

1. This was from droidforums. A member there began to try to port it, but failed. He had no support tho, it was a solo mission that no one helped him with, but i'm pretty sure the top heads of XDA can make it work. I have faith in this Development community as they never cease to amaze. If teamwin can get 4G on CM, and if orebammas got a semi working HDMI than i believe the APK can be ported

3. Where did you get the apk i don't see it in the thread?
i pulled it from here http://ge.tt/#6Tazle3 which was posted on the 2nd page of that thread. Apparently he got some apks to work from GTV but not all
4. Why did you post this in the Development section??!! i hate u!! rawr!
Because this needs DEVELOPERS. Themers and People who change out png's in apps aren't going to get this done.
So if you're like me and want netflix everywhere you go from the convenience of your phone, show support! and keep this thread alive.
Good luck Devs!
Nice! I'm sure someone can get it working
Awesome, would love to see this working! Need to put my netflix subscription to more use!
Oh snap! I think i like this idea!!! Im going in real quick to scout 8)

[DEV DONATIONS] Xtremekilla09

If it pleases the Infuse community, I too have been in contact with a Dev that as well needs to be over...Xtremekilla09. I am sure that a majority of the users who have moved over from that captivate knows his work...Firefly is the Rom that has received much praise from the captivate community and has allowed for individuality at its best...His ROM included an app that allowed for many different types of MODS that ranged from different Dialers to different battery MODS as well as different themes..The app allowed for direct download of mods straight to the phone...his work includes
Xtreme Dialer
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=949972
FireFly [ROM]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914284
Mosaic 2.3.3[ROM]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061203
as well as many team projects because he is a part of Team Phoenix
Because of his trusted work I believe he would make a great addition to the community for stable and enhanced ROMS
If the community agrees i will have a link up soon for his donation
I am a huge fan of Firefly on the captivate, although I'm currently running cm7 nightly on it.
There is beginning to be some interest in developing for the Infuse, mine is charging now so I'm posting with captivate.
Anyway, I think it's a great idea to get one in extremekillas hands there is another post about funding the developers with a phone. I will be donating when I get my paypal account password reset. I forgot it. It seems though one phone may be not enough. There are a lot of developers that want one. So I propose we buy two and let the devs pass them around. If you've flashed a rom. Donate. Two phones would be easypeasy if everyone helped

****BirgerTime & Whitehawkx G2X Fund***

If you would like to see some awesome stuff come this way from these guys, feel free to send some donations...goal is 350 per dev in order to get a g2x for each of them. Don't see the harm. Either you would like to you would don't; NO FLAMING...thanks noobs and senior member alike!
Birgertime/Romanbb
Whitehawkx
Follow us on twitter to keep track of the amounts gained, will get removed once reached! @jface21 @romanbb @whitehawkx
Preview of things to come:
9 Lockscreens! for Froyo
9 Lockscreens! for Gingerbread
***Disclaimer***
NOT requiring you to donate, but for sake of more cool stuff for you/me, it would be super awesome. I did this NOT them!
I could throw some change their way...great Vibrant devs. Have they committed to develop if they get the phone? Might help to hear from them.
Anyway your BirgerTime Paypal link doesn't work.

White and I are dying to play with a new phone. We'll give it all we've got
(by the way, this was jface's idea, white & I didn't know he was doing this, thanks jface)
I will be 110% committed to development on the G2X. First order will be a multitude of lockscreens for everyone to choose from. Roman has been developing all kinds of status bar tweaks and such which can be viewed here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1123830.
Since the G2X is aosp based we will be able to do so much more with it. That and that fact that Roman is a java master. Needless to say, I dont think anyone will be disappointed.
BTW - thanks jumaan for getting this going.

Good to hear you guys are interested. I looked at some of your work and was very impressed. I donated a bit...will do more next week (after payday).
A note to everyone complaining about a perceived lack of development...devs can't afford to purchase every new device that they are willing to support (working for free). If you want more development, support it. Skip the morning Starbuck's and give a couple bucks...just my two cents.
just donated to both of you
hope you guys get the phone!
but while your waiting i have sgs4g favor to ask hehe
anyway you guys can deodex the GB rom with root inside please
i rooted the rom just cant get it to deodex
we are having problems
only if its not to much though!
much love for you guys work <3
Guys, I used birgertimes roms in the vibrant days and they were the most stable, eye candy full roms, that would fly. I'm down to donate when I get trip a computer. We need more developers.

TO ALL DEVELOPERS! Will provide Donations

I will donate to developers who can manage to get the ICS SDK ROM and the Galaxy Nexus dump (once leaked) to run properly with everything working on the G2X. I would like to see the Galaxy Nexus app dump mixed with the SDK Rom. My Twitter is @ts0cha0tik
Hit me up once you have it working... I will need video proof and will need to run the rom myself. $30 to $50 donation depending on the quality of the build and the constancy updating it. I do not mind donating to you more than once. Just make it happen
Must be working:
Wifi
Data
Mobile Phone
Sync
Gapps
BT
FFC
Widgets
I too will donate the same amount as this user, but if you can get it working for Mytouch 4G as well. My twitter @s_jets
Me 3 I would graciously donate $50 or more depending on quality

Agreed. Y'all are kind of jumping the gun here. I know you want it now, but just be patient. The last thing you want is something that's been rushed. There shouldn't be deadlines on these types of things. ICS will be released, and when it is, the devs will get to work on it. Just...chill for a bit, lol.
Man, a lot of these threads going around.
It's not gonna happen with out source. Might as well give the money to CM team as they will be the first to get a ROM out with everything functioning. Source isn't going to be dropped until the Nexus is out. So I won't even expect source to drop at the very earliest maybe beginning of December. Then it will probably take the CM team maybe a month or two to get Alpha builds out. So realistically, I honestly don't expect ICS builds for this phone until maybe the middle of Jan to beginning of Feb of next year.
You can't get a stable rom from an SDK dump. You can only get a buggy rom with most things not working. The SDK drivers are not compatible with most phones. You have to wait for source and that might still be difficult as the drivers on our phone are for GB. They need to be compiled for ICS and without source and LG releasing an ICS rom this is going to be very difficult to do, even for the most talented devs.
I'm my experiences promises to pay never work out. So start up a PayPal account and a donation link. Have everyone donate to it and get a running total.
Cash in hand is what makes devs move... also asking nicely and offerings of virgin women and booze.

Very well put my thoughts exactly! Donating to these developers shouldn't be a "do this for me and I'll donate" situation. It should be done simply for the fact that we wouldn't have ANY of this without them to begin with. Too many people think they're just entitled to everything (I'm not talking about the original poster just people in gerneral ) even when it's already given to them for free!! I completely understand why some developers get fed up and quit working on these phones because of people who piss and moan about everything, without even contributing in the least bit. And it's because of those entitle people we've already lost a few awesome developers, which sucks but who can blame them? Can you imagine what it would be like to work your ass off just so you can give something to someone for free, and instead of being thanked for your hard work, all they do is complain about it? Just go to the Market and read some of the reviews on a FREE app for an example of that ****!! These assholes don't have to spend a dime on the app, yet all they do is sit there and complain about it!! God I hate people sometimes! LOL So my point is that if you enjoy having your phone rooted and having access to things you never would've without rooting it, then that's the reason you should donate to these developers. (End Rant)
Personally, I say we pool a bounty for a working AOSP build. Even the best SDK port won't touch a legit build. I'd put some money towards someone laying down the foundations for a native port.

[Q] [INTEREST] Okay... it's Bounty/Reward Time for ICS

I jumped from the Vibrant to the Infuse, and I've noticed development here is a little on the anemic side. I've seen a few people discuss starting a bounty/reward for an Ice Cream Sandwich port and wanted to see if anyone else was down or interested.
If it's just me then I'll be quiet and mods can delete this thread.
Update: Please try to make reference to +1 or "Yes I'd contribute to an ICS Port" if you want this to happen. Finding developers is easy enough if we have the numbers and support from the community.
I will be content with an official GB at this point. ICS would be a great bonus but only if HDMI and Bluetooth work.

We did like a fundraiser to get devs phones. One didn't work with kernels, one did a **** ton of work but got bored with it, one posted sources on git hub but never showed up on the forum and one posted work that he did without a phone till he actually one and vanished.
If we put up,money the bounty is the way to go because we can put it up expecting only one piece of work and they can,get the money when it is complete.
I would like to see if someone can pm netarchy and razor950 and see if they still have the donated infuses, if they are interested, and if not, would they pass the phone along to someone who is.

Just pissed myself laughing at what you wrote. I sent one PM -- if anyone has any contact information start throwing it up or recommendations of people to contact.
I am working on building an ICS AOSP rom. It is slow going though as I've had other life issues going on. I bought a nexus 4g and just got ICS AOSP built and running on it yesterday as a first step just to help me with learning how everything fits together.
I'm just doing this for fun to learn how Android works, so I don't really expect fast progress. I do own two Infuses so I'm covered there. I do have to admit the possibility of a bounty would encourage me to move faster
I'll be spending a lot more time over the next few days working on ICS. I've got a kernel in the works, hopefully I can finish it in the next day or two and test it out.
That's good to hear fellas. Take your time, we Infuse owners know how to wait for something. (i.e. Official Gingerbread) Lol

To netarchy's credit - he did talk on IRC with us, and saved me a TON of time in terms of Daily Driver development. He has never had a big forum presence - just look at the Ninphetamine thread, he was a major contributor to that kernel but only posted on the thread 11 times over its 2,900+ post life. Hacre (aka Ninpo) always did the release engineering portion of the work.
He got sick after QuakeCon which put him behind, and then real life stuff came up. It was disappointing, but at least we got some pretty good stuff out of his donated device even if it is not obvious to most users.
I'm going to try and shoot him a message (I don't think he checks XDA PMs any more, but I have other ways of getting in touch with him) to see if he is willing to give the device to a Cappy or Nexus kernel dev who wants to upgrade. (I would prefer if the device goes to someone with more time than I have to focus on it.)
razor950's device donation was unfortunate - he has a long history of saying "I'm helping you guys but don't have a device!" and then disappearing immediately after he receives it without a word. You have, IMO, no hope whatsoever of getting anything from him.
