Can you code in Android? Could you spare some time to help people with brain injury?

Hi All,
I have been asked by a UK charity to develop some software to support people with brain injury. I’m not being paid to do this as the charity has little or no funding, but if the resulting software has commercial applications we retain the rights to exploit it. I’ve managed to convince a few people and major mobile networks to help out for free to get this moving and we’re at a critical stage.
I’ve scoped out the project and designed all the features. I’m skilled in C++ but not in Android and I really need someone who is to help us out.
Though we can’t pay you, you will own a part of the resulting company and we hope to provide a commercial service by April next year and that will mean you will have a full time job and directorship when we do.
If you have spare time, understand that money is not the only thing in life, want to help start up a company and are willing to support us in our efforts to help this charity please get in touch via my email or phone and I'll give you some more info.
You can be based anywhere in the World as this can be done remotely.
Thanks you so much for reading this and I look forward to hearing from you.

PS If this isn't for you but you know anyone who might be interested please pass this message on to them..

I sent you a PM. I have a family member in a situation where this kind of software can make a huge difference. I'm interested in hearing more about the project.

[Q] Froyo or Gingerbread for the velocity Cruz reader

If someone has the ability to build a froyo, or gingerbread version for the Cruz reader, I am willing to pay some money to obtain this version, and enhance my reader, which has a lot of potential with the right software.
Do you share my vision with me, and have the same will? If enough of us reader owners are willing to do so, maybe someone will find enough interest, and some financial motivation to do the job.
Please express your opinion here, so we can all see the feedback for this idea.

Flattr: Social Micropayments

Anyone else use this?
It seems like it'd be a great way for devs to get paid

Flattr
Hi guys,
does anyone here knows Flattr? If implemented to XDA interface, it would be great one-click way to send some dosh directly to developers. PayPal alternative. The only fee I'm aware of is 10% of money you send to your Flattr account. That's it. You can even support Cyanogen team (and LibreOffice, KeePass, GNU etc...) right now, just check software section of Flattr catalogue.
I'm new to this forum, so I can't add any links. Just google it.

I heard about this at a Ubuntu fan site a while back, but never actually donated. If it catches on, I'll gladly donate some money here and there. It's a much more useful idea than "Like" or "+1" in my opinion.

Why pay FrekinFunkyHuawei

I am a software developer in Windows. As a devI have to shout out against this self propogating fiscal scam called FunkyHuawei who is making a fortune out of FOSS. Android is Open Source , Free , and COMMUNITY based. As a long time dev the community prides itself on providing innovative solutions for the Free World that allow us to enhance our experience and grow the community. PLEASE do not pay FunkyHuawei for bootloader unlocks (which can be obtained other ways - you just need to spend time like we do figuring it out, learning, and developing your skills). PLEASE do not pay for firmware which should be free anyway. And PLEASE dont install software on your Windows machine using Admin when you do not know what you are installing. You have been warned. Outlets like FunkyHuawei are not community , they are not us. Devs enjoy what they do and if you want to contribute all the better, make a donation. But do not pay the stupid amounts of money to people making a fortune from FOSS
In the meantime, add your voice to those who are protesting with Huawei in the hope that they will rejoin the community and reverse their decision to remove free codes for unlockers like you. Only by adding your voice will you make a difference. Paying guys like FunkyHuawei stupid money like $50 for unlock is stupid ... your just creating a demand when instead we need to engage Huawei.
Thank you

Thumbs up.
People who buy those codes are not doing good to the community, its really a bad style.

I totally agree with you, paying $50 bucks, this is the first time i ever had to pay for the unlocker code, i already used samsung, motorola, xiaomi, none of them charged for the unlock code. For me isn't onle 50 bucks, is RS 200 + charges. I don't feel good spending this money like this, i prefer to donate to some one that really help the community.:good:

Is someone forcing you guys to use their service? I don't get it.

If you see something wrong. Let others know. XDA is a community.

I prefer to pay XDA-Developers instead of FunkyHuawei. Please help them put some kind of service or some way to get the codes through donations. I would gladly donate

Unfortunately it doesnt work like this. If there is a demand there will be proposal.
I don't think that paying for unlocking Bootloader is right. But at this situation you should better ask Huawei, why did they make this happen?
Huawei is the only one to blame and next time before buying huawei phone, I'd think twice

Exactly. The timing of this thread is also comical. At this point, even funky huawei cannot provide bootloader keys - at any cost. The bootloader unlock "service" is down/discontinued.
Also, the guy running Funky is an XDA member. (and was before it's existence) I agree that his prices are absurd, but it's not a service anyone else provides nor is it something you have to use - just wait for Huawei to (hopefully) push the update to your phone.

the only thing comical, is your response @Goronok
you clearly are devoid of intelligence and further, you fail to grasp what me and development devs do for fools like you.
SO DO NOT PAY THESE SCAMMERS
join the communuty...stop being comical!!

Clearly. What have you developed? And you consider your time free and never want to be paid for it? Get a grip.

Look at this guy, lost all respect for you for this comment. Xda have allowed funky to do what he does. Accept it, Goronok is correct, nobody is forcing you to use funky, if people are stupid using in your eyes, let them be. This has been discussed to death already
No need for your insults

Agreed 100%.

I am sorry to hear it might be considered a cancer. I'm just a user (with only a little amount of understanding) that wants to put Nova Launcher on my EVR-AL00. I guess I'm being a tad selfish.

Thanks for your post brother!!! This is exactly what I have been shouting about in my other post, glad there are people on this earth who have same vision as me! Im suprised the mods did not ban you yet!! they have deleted some of my posts regarding funky! definitely there is some affiliation.
That being said, How can we obtain the codes for a lower price, perhaps even free, as it should be? I refuse to pay these 3d parties, not because of money, but out of principle. I'm a business owner, and even if I had an unlocker in my hands, I would not charge for it, I would release it in the public. Android is open and should stay open. Period.

I do not know why XDA would remove some of your posts. I suppose if a post is against their forum policies in some way , i could accept that. But if there is indeed affiliation to paid services without express declaring such, then I would find that most alarming for a forum as huge as XDAdev and it would without doubt proceed to lose integrity and trust. I have not seen any evidence of affilation but that's just me. Objectively, as I say, there's no harm provided there is transparency and members are 100% aware that XDA are affiliated to this individual for whom I have the utmost contempt for becuase he is profiting from what is a FOSS community and doing so on the back of Huwaei corporate decisions which XDA are openly objecting to. Can't have it both ways !!

I posted something like why would you pay for such service in a funky thread, and my post got deleted. From that day I've made a statement in each post I made for the mods to stop deleting my posts. You can read back my older posts. It made me aware that something was going on this forum that was supposed to be free speach to help the open community..

I'm sorry mate. Seems beyond me. Tried today, I can't seem to get past the bootloader so. No code. No unlocked phone, So can't remove the APK using adb, right?
Or do I need to find earlier firmware before it was KOd...
This is starting to go into the too hard basket. I'm not in the tech industry.
I think it would be easy enough if I had the unlock code...... If Huawei are no longer giving them out, I mean how do I get it? Does seem to be interesting that the while of China closes down, the codes are no longer available though. I guess it points toward that it is more of a Guanxi thing than a coding thing, so...

I am an idiot.
I did not need unlock. My problem was my dodgy work PC....... I have always used it, mostly successfully. Your name though, signifies being correct. So I went onto my MAc and tried again. OMG. It worked
I am now running NOVA sans the launcher.
Oh - I am so sorry for annoying people here.
On the plus side, I have saved my self coin once the CNY is over and unlock codes are being sold again.
sigh... I posted in multiple comments too. I guess I need to go apologiZe and edit in those ones too.
Thank you, Freeza,

need help with mobile android and IOS apps.

hi, don't know where to post this. i'm looking for experience developers to help me with my startup company. i have 4 apps at the stores that require updates. 2 (apple) app store and 2 (google) play store, i own all the source codes. please, let me know if you or someone are interested. we can arrange a contract between you and me. thank you and really apologize for any inconvenience.

You had better hire one or two programmers as employees for new requirements development and app updates.
