[Bounty] Let's bring Franco Kernel to the S3 - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I've been a fan of Franco's work since I bought my Samsung GNEX..
He's agreed to work on Dev'ing a Kernel for our phones.. But he lives out of country.
That being said he needs a phone.. Phones are going for between $400 - $550 on swappa so let's set that as our goal.
Here is an example of his work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1708763
He has agreed to support the Bounty process here.. https://plus.google.com/10687350010...jNUg5#106873500108976028532/posts/imxHBDjNUg5
Click the Donation Link here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/donatetome.php?u=3292224
please reply in this thread if you donate.. So we can keep track..

Franco is an extremely talented developer, and one of the few that seriously know how to code a great modified kernel.
Put me down for $20 to start!

Thanks. I think this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1367341 is a much better example of my work

It's hard to keep track Franco You do so many good kernels
My only question is can you give an "Updated" link so the paypal donation comes in to you as "marked" for this project? I don't want you to have to keep track
--paul

Dunno if thats possible. But I'll consider all the following donations for this, even if its outside this thread.

Def get him this phone guys ! Ran it from my gnex and it was great ! He updates alot, has great customizations , stable reliable. He usually adds new fixes patches and his work speaks for itself. Hes a good guy as well .

Will the kernel for VZW work for TMO as well ? If yes, then can I post the link for this thread on Tmobile forums as well ?

Judging by other kernels, it seems like only minor edits would be needed. Many folks here are running att and other kernels.
I'm not the one you need an answer from however so I will step aside :beer:

Just giving this a bump.
OP should set an exact goal price as well as how much we have pledged.

OP , please update the total.
Also how does this work? Do i donate first or commit to donate if the goal is reached? What if I donate and the goal isn't reached?

I agree, actually, OP really should have taken a bit more time to formulate the post.
Honestly we either need to revise the OP with more information and a running total, or just close the thread and have someone start a new one who can manage it.

Franco, will you be able to enable call recording?

Are you or anyone else interested in setting up a well-formulated [BOUNTY] thread here then?
We can request a moderator to close this one, and we can set up a new one with a clear number goal, and we can keep it updated, then collect the money at once if we reach the goal number (isn't that how it's usually done?).
I'm sure we can do it, something like $450 between all of us SGS3 users who love Franco's work can certainly get that.

What happened to this thread ,are we close to bounty any info did it move?

Bump.
Is anyone else still interested in this? He has an amazing kernel and it would be amazing if it came to us.

I can't believe this didn't get off the ground. I'd be in for $50 if Franco would still honor the offer he made.

Glad I bought mine the other day. Not trying to be high and mighty, just glad. I think it is always best to get things legit, but right now even more so with the things going on with the apps over at apple (trying to lock devs in so they con not port apps from over there to over here). This app is android specific, but just keeping the android market healthy so that it is more attractive for devs, so we get better apps is always a good thing. Also the apps are stupid cheap, so it is kinda hard to say you do not have that money with the expensive phone you are using.
I responded in other thread, moving this to apps section. Check out my post in other section. If there is clear evidence that rom users are using the paid app and not the app supplied here on xda by developer let me know and I will take care of it.

It matters because he's asked ROM devs to remove it. It's in the market thus it is a paid app.

Whether they use the same APK or not has no bearing on the fact that the owner/creator is requesting it to be removed from the roms with a valid explanation, and that's the ONLY thing that matters... Is it so hard to link to the setcpu thread in a rom thread and give the guy the credit he deserves and the possibility of making a measly $2 for his hard work if someone chooses to donate and not just download?
god forbid someone feels abused and changes a service nobody is entitled to, to begin with, how selfish of him... Sheesh

Well said.
The issue is this: The dev wants people to make a choice of whether or not to buy the donate version in the market. If the free version is included in /system/app (Read only partition!!) in a ROM, then the choice of "do i donate or not?" is eliminated. I don't think it's too much to ask.

Indeed! That's all I wanted to state. The SetCPU dev works VERY hard to keep it updated and working with every phone. He deserves credit.

[Q] UPDATE: morfics Dev fund

UPDATE:
Fist of all, BIG thanks to all that donated! This was a very awesome and unselfish thing that you all were a part of. As all of you might have read, and in case you didn't, morfic said:
"Thanks everyone, I'll be working on things this weekend, just gotta stay out of trouble with wife, so no feature promise.
In case anyone else feels compelled to still donate: Think who really helped you, find their donate button and donate to them!"
Thanks,
Daniel
Sent from my G2x
With all that being said I will talk to him later and see what the plan is for the first release. Check back here for updates all this weekend. If you don't already, I recommend that all the donators follow http://twitter.com/#!/morfique. Updates will probably be posted there sooner than here.

i think maybe every dollar we donate to him he should also add to the pot...
i.e. i donate 15 bucks he puts in 15 bucks
so its not all of the community paying for his device just helping him
or maybe he should send out thank you android cards made from his blood and sweat to anyone that donates.....
lol i dunno but i will for sure donate thats all that matters i guess

Makes total sense. I should of thought of that one.

Anyone know how difficult it would be to port a Captivate Rom to th Infuse? They do have similar hardware.
If I may chime in, the quickest way I've seen to get dev's developing for your phone is to start a multi donation page where you amas funds (some may give 20 bucks each donator,etc) and then buy a couple of the devs the device and ship it to them. This is how the Nook got CM7 as well as many other devices.

please this is not true. assuming thing are easy to port from sgs is not a good way to go. there is a similar processor. and that's about all you can confirm. this phone has more ram, mhl hdmi support, new gps hardware, maybe a new radio, though it may be the same as in sgs4g which in it's self is hard enough to port anything beyond the apks and maybe the rom, new camera, a flash, new screen type, and posibly an new audio chip as some samsungs such as the galaxy player and sgs2 are using yamaha audio componants while the sgs line is wolfson.
you dont see ports to and from captivate to fascinate, or to sgs4g, or to the droid charge and those phones are more similar to the captivate than this is. this may have more in common with the galaxy tab than the captivate.
these are not minor differences but it may be posible to maybe port the framework over and apk's. it may be posible to use the whole rom but not the kernel. ports will be projects and maybe not a great idea other than maybe an aosp gingerbread or icecream sandwhich project.
I just got this phone as well and awaiting some development
Since I don't know Cyanogen, we'd need to talk to someone like "rhcp0112345" or "EugeneKay" to reach out to them....same for MIUI devs.
If we can get more people showing an interest to donate we can get this going.
See the below thread as a successful instance of this, I know it happened also for the captivate with cognition I think.

I believe Designgears would do the same but, I don't believe we'll be able to sway Mikey into another AT&T branded phone....?
Ok I guess we've done enough talking i guess I'll start another thread later today to start accumulating a list of those who'd be willing to donate. If the list gets substantial, we'll reach out to the devs.
to be honest id rather it stay small. i would like 3-4 roms more than a couple dozen. and id like there to be better comunication between devs, intermediate users, and newbe's rather than the cluster [email protected] seen in some forums. when there are too many parties involved it gets to a point that lower level users stop learning and advanced users suddenly take on expectations from the comunity. id rather it stay small. we can get help when we need it but most of the stuff in the sgs forums that we wont see are not that significant in my oppinion. i got rid of the captivate and got this because i thought id know enough about it to get it like i want it and not be sucked into the rom frenzy while also being a contributing member of the board. im not saying im against bounties for your favorite devs to come over but id rather put up a bounty for a second phone for the devs that actually wanted to buy this phone.

Polite Request

Hello everyone, I'm Indirect and while most of you have no idea who I am, I was politely asked to come help you all out for development towards downgrade / s-off on your devices. Now, as much as I would LOVE to help, I can only do so much without the actual device. I know this sounds like mooching, annoying, etc that some other "developers" do to try and gain attention but I'm sure you can see that I've made progress in just a few short hours as you can see here So I would like to now ask the community I'm trying to help if they would be willing to help me out as well and have my job be just a bit easier. I own multiple devices that I work on (Evo View 4G tablet, Nook Tablet, Nexus S 4G) and I develop for the evo shift when I can get around to it, but since I am not 18 and unemployed, I can't really go out and just throw down cash for a mytouch. Developing is essentially my career, balance that with school and my life gets hectic. So, if you read on, you will see how much I'm working towards.
What I need vs What I have:
Bought a device and it had a board failure within 2 hours... -- edit: RMA'd this one
New device, killed that one and since it has a void sticker broken and I'd rather not send it to HTC for moral reasons, I want to have it JTAG'd.
Well guys. I bricked 2 MT4GS while helping test s-off. Looks like I need to RMA one and JTAG the other. What do I need? Well, it cost 40$ + shipping. I can eat the shipping costs, but I can't crap out 40$. .__. So, any help is appreciated. OP has been updated with this post as well as a total amount vs what I need.

So if you want to help, just click the donate button and I'll save up for it. I would really prefer to get this thing bought as soon as possible so I can get cracking on that bootloader.

I know some stuff about the kernel, but not atm enough to get a custom kernel up and running. Also guys, I seriously only have 1$ to my name, pretty sure it won't be enough. Lol.
This would be fantastic - I was working with this character last night in IRC and he's got the enthusiasm necessary backed up by the knowledge we need to get in our corner of XDA.
People are complaining from time to time about the anemic development here in the MT4GS forums, well, here is a way of increasing that dev.
If people aren't interested or able in picking up the torch themselves to get involved in development, then helping someone like this get a device in their hands will help us all out.
Normally i'm not such a fan of this but this is the real deal - we get a device in his hands and we WILL see more dev around here.
Look at the progress he's already helped us make towards the S-OFF issue - we got past getting the misc.version put in place and unraveled another layer of the issue, now we are stuck on hboot being our block.
Not bad for someone without a physical device in their hands, eh? Imagine what he could help us with not having to work proxy through one of us...

Ok, why?
This was the last working T-Mobile ROM, it seems. Viper doesn't have WiFi calling, I am not sure if anything does. Why the heck did they close the thread and take down all download links?
Too many people complaining, there were also some bugs but I think over time axiom could have evolved into something better, its not the end though, energy ROM is still going and that is just as good

I'm not going to comment further on this other than to say this guy is incorrect and certainly is in no position to speak for the team.
Energy rom is very nice, if you guys need wifi calling.
And nothing huge was wrong with the last version of axiom, the sense version anyways.

Aww. That sucks. I love de-sensed ROMs that keep the Sense camera. Can we at least have a download link for the latest Sense-less ROM? Or someone can PM it to me, thats ok

Well, you are in a position to speak for the team. Do you think leaving one's users hanging without any warning or explanation is something a developer should ever do? I know from own experience that ROM development is hard work, and you were doing it for free. However, your ROM had a following, people were mostly very happy, you promised some future. Than out of the blue - boom! No more Axiom S! Gone! No explanation, no warning, no clarification - nothing! Closed the thread, turned off the lights, went home.
I see Mike is already hacking SGIII. That's cool, but you don't just stick a finger at your users, and go find another set of users. At the very least you owe them an explanation where you are going and why.

Not speaking for anyone...but the Axiom team did post on Twitter that they were ceasing development due to hate mail...probably what he meant when he referred to complaining.
"Development of Axiom ROMs has ceased. After much thought, tons of hate mail & other nonsense, we've come to the conclusion it's not worth it"-Axiom website/Twitter
I Am? I didn't know I was hacking the SGS3. Lol
Here's the thing...Axiom ROMs was never.....ever in my plans. Honestly how it started was Zylith and Zydroid. Zylith got busy so I picked up the slack and did more. Keep in mind I was doing this because this is what I wanted in a ROM and just happened to share it with the community, because it was Zylith's to begin with.
Personally, I got tired of the lack of support for HTC phones as of late. I originally was going to get a SGS3 over the One S, but decided not to wait for its release. Now I'm where I wanted to be originally. I'm sorry if you feel like I turned my back....AXSuite was open-sourced.....all that was needed now was a stock 1.84 base and those tweaks to be dropped right in...and BOOM, Axiom ROM again.
Things are rather busy in my life right now.....How? Well....I'm married for one.....got a kid on the way for two, getting into real estate for three, and Apple just did a product release which me, being a Tech Support Advisor for them....have to work much more hours.....which is already cutting away the time i had before.
Don't lash out at the rest of the team because of the unhappiness or disappointment you've experienced with production of a ROM ceased. Everyone has a brain and can learn this stuff people! You depend so much on people like us to do the work, why not learn it instead of getting pissed off because we choose personal lives over Android?
Last I checked....no one pays my bills, no even paid to use Axiom ROMs.....so we're not obligated to discussing anything really.
Don't mean to sound like a asshole, but I'm the only one who gives a damn about my personal life, no one else in here does. I gotta llok out for my best interest....so it is what it is. As for me doing work on the SGS3....not gonna happen. I won't be doing any ROMs for it, I'm much to busy to maintain a public release!
Stop with the PMs, stop with the frustration. AXSuite is open-sourced and for public use. Learn how to make a ROM and get it running. The whole reason we open-sourced it in the first place was to inspire others that want to learn how to do it, to actually do it!
Hate me or love me guys, I had to say what I needed to say. Not trying to be no douche or inconsiderate....I felt you guys deserved at least a reason as to why things happened the way they have....Nothing personal against anyone....but I gotta look out for me and my family and thats time that I can't spend on Android for now....

Thanks for clarifying that....
Some of the team members lost interest because of how things started to turn out... People calling us kangs of Venom tweaks etc etc....you know the ordeal. We decided it's not fun anymore, not worth it either. We did it for free....asked for nothing in return. Seeing you all happy was enough for us. But the hate mail along with what's stated above....just killed the motivation....
Don't hate us for it, look at the users of other One S ROMs....not saying names....they're the ones who discouraged us. Imagine catching BS from people you don't know for you contributing something you expect nothing in return from....we're all human...

By all means man, family comes first. Thank you (and your team) for the hard work that you put into the rom. It is very much appreciated. I myself would love to get to a level where I could develop, rather for myself or public, but between work, kids, and life, it would never happen, thank you for using the little free time you have to help us. The fact that you put as much time and dedication into the work you did is truly a source of charity for everyone who used your roms, or any of the information you provided. I'm sorry that you had to deal with hate mail and complainers. Too many people out there feel they are 'owed' something, and don't get the fact that what you do is out of kindness and hobby, and not something that you are obligated to do.
Take care, congrats on the upcoming baby, and good luck.
...oh, and sorry about all the hate mail you're going to get at work for the lack luster iPhone 5

Here are the key parts being over looked, highlighted in bold: Development of Axiom ROMs has ceased. After much thought, tons of hate mail & other nonsense, we've come to the conclusion it's not worth it". By the way I don't need anyone to remind me what I WROTE on Twitter. And one last thing the hate mail wasn't from our users!
