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?

Agreed. I'm interested in doing this but I'm just a bit cautious until the logistics are set out a bit more clearly.

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?

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.
Hey guys.. It's unfortunate that i don't use this device anymore and gave it to my mom, i now use an S3.
So i will not be able to be as active in this device forum and will probably focus on the S3 forum.
I really had a great time with you guys, and i will certainly keep helping here and there, and keeping a look at Kernel 3.x and CM development.
I really hope the best for all of you.

All the best with your s3

Hi guys!
I am a spanish engineer and I work in a company and with help of many workmates, I get Kernel 3.0 in your device.
Yes, 100% really.
Kernel boots and is very smooth but it isn't fot daily usage.
Screenshots soon...
But there is a big problem.
I haven't got Galaxy SL, I have HTC Wildfire.
I was using a Galaxy SL friend's mobile to build the kernel and my friend has sold it.
And there is another problem...other company will sold us a machine that has a programation that can make a daily usage kernel for A LOT OF DEVICES. They want 250€ for the machine and its pattents.
I haven't got such money fot buy both things, but with the help of this crear comunity, we'll win our price!
Soon I leave you muy paypal acount and if you want to help, you can make a donation.
Cheers!

In you we trust
One of the problem is that kernel un alpha version doesn't work in all Galaxy SL. I have bricked 2 phones with the kernel and it works in other 3.
It's very dangeorus to bring an alpha now.
Only solution is the other.
It's very dangerous...

ok I understand
luck: Good:
Tomorrow I'll upload a pair of screenshots
i think you should contact the devs of this device and discuss stuff with them .. try to contact dhiru1602 , adipat , hetalk , lolation and vishal to show wt you have
alot of people say they can provide kernel 3
even the greatest devs as Dhiru hillbest and that we were rocked on android
I really do not understand why way this developer did not disclose it on XDA if prentend
and if I pay I might not get anything given the context
Time of need we more valid argument
if you have the kernel to take a screenshot for us to prove
it is easy to extract the kernel and let us share
I can not understand, then excuse me
Hi!
I have read your comments and I have decided one thing. I have a lot of work now. Then, I will show the screenshots and then, I'll continue the development without the money. I don't wanna make you feel obligued to pay anything.
Cheers!
OK goodluck man .. we wait your prove to kernel 3 ..
Waiting screnshots and then you will begin the story ..
Hope best

sorry but i lost you there....what machine is this ??? that too patented ???? dafuq
Who is this guy? He's never developed anything, he/she just made this profile on XDA to scam you guys. Stop giving him attention. If he were a proper dev, he'd know how to write "programation" (code).
I'll stop here, report this thread, and so should you.
Before there is any proof, and I seriously don't take screenshots as some kind of proof, I will consider this a scam to the community. If he really finished the work, he should publish the source code in github as a valid proof or something for me to have a look. And I don't believe that the €250 machine exists. Dear mods, please take your action immediately.
Sent from my GT-I9003 using xda app-developers app
Wow...now a days this xda community is a joke. Anyway lets suppose this guy is has really developed kernel 3.0 then only screenshot is not enough for me. Screenshots can be developed easily with helpof photoshop But we want source code with debugging log, kmesg log, dmesg log....every type of log which can prove that kernel 3.0 is actually booting.
But if this guys failed to show such proof then get ready for lifetime ban.
fake
I hope this is not fake.But you do not have anything to make me believe you.
Please provide absolute proof by supplying the info asked for already. Until then I also feel this is leaning towards a spam and I am locking this thread until such proof can be verified. Saying you have access to a "machine" that will bring everything everyone wants for this device but then saying (with very few posts and a newer account) "hey give me money, I'll buy it for you" seems a little fishy, sorry.
Enter the that there are now what you prefer Windows Phone, Android, Symbiam, Java, Bada, Firefox OS among other
Because you're really going to get an unbiased result on the world's largest Android forum....
I definitely prefer iOS and its wonderfully locked in system. Like, seriously, dude?
Choice of every person's differes.
And even every os has a different taste.
Which only specific people likes it.

I also tried iOS for about a year and somehow it is as if you are locked up in jail. admittedly a very stylish jail.
Android!
I am currently loving android 4.2.2 (slim bean) however once Ubuntu for phones is optimized and completed I feel this may steal the spot as best mobile os. I've used the new blackberry os and ios 6 and still just love android haha. The simplicity of ios is nice for less advanced users though.

RootBox 4.2.2 for the win! Of course android is the best in a landslide....number one reason....unlockability and customization.
It isn't every day that a dev comes along who's as kind, considerate, and helpful as iB4STiD. For years, he's given to the community and put up with verbal abuse from trolls in a gracious manner. If he's going out, let's at least share some appreciation for him. Much love, iB! Thank you for your time and efforts!

Hear hear!
You will be missed man.
I'm running Goldfinger on my S4. Really great rom. I just wish some people wouldn't complain about a rom that someone put a lot of time and effort into. I can think of a couple people who need to just quit acting like they know everything when they clearly don't.
Good luck iB4STiD!! Appreciate your contribution to the community. There are plenty of reasons for anyone come and go but what matters finally is how much values one could add. Good job.
I don't have permission to post in the developer section (for good reason) but I enjoy his ROMs very much.
Thank you. Currently running Goldeneye ☺
We already talked and said bye iB, but I feel like saying bye once more. We won't have another developer like you around here maybe. You were the best developer of any device I've seen ever. There were a lot of devs I've seen for many different Android devices, but, you by far, are the best one I've seen yet. I hope you figure everything out and stuff. (We've already talked about this privately, but, as I said before in this post, you are the best developer to me.)

Nuts. Out of the loop on what's going on, but it's sad to hear. Since getting my S4, his ROMs were the only ones I would run. I guess it's finally time to pull the trigger on that Nexus 6.
What did I miss!
You can't leave! Yours is the one ROM that has always installed quickly and without any headaches.
Hate to see you go.
EDIT: Found out your moving on to bigger and better things. YAY for you! When you feel bored and nostalgic...just knock out another outstanding ROM for us s4/5 users. Good man!
I've used a few different ROMs of his, and I've enjoyed them all. Not only is he a great developer, but he responds kindly feedback and requests and replies thoughtfully to requests for help from users.
Thanks, iB4STiD!
