Hey guys :]
So a lot of you probably don't know who I am because I am a Droid and Droid 2 rom developer for the rom Epic or Epic Unleashed. I wanna bring my rom Epic Unleashed to the Fascinate but I dont have the funds to afford one. I am asking if you, the Fascinate community can you please donate so I will be able to but a Fascinate and develop custom roms for all of you. I would refund all the money not used to the people who donated it. If you would like to donate please click here and donate as much as you would like. Mods and/or admins please do not take this thread down because I want to get a Fascinate to make all your phones better :]
Thanks!

Just a little knowledge to the users that are out there. Right now we don't have a real ability of installing custom roms anyways, just hold on until we get a working kernel source so that we have a custom recovery. Then do what you want with your money.
I agree. Far be it from me to tell people how to use their money, but at this point we can't even get the compiled kernel from Samsung's source to boot.
If anyone out there is confident in their ability to release a product, I don't think it's unreasonable to suggest purchasing the device up front (credit card?), and asking for donations after releasing the product. Just my opinion.

Gotta agree 100%.
I'm also a little gun shy after I donated to help buy a Droid for the guy on another forum who then got distracted by other projects.
On the other hand, I'm sure Koush and Cyanogenmod get donations they haven't even asked for.

Lol, yeah, don't want to get Jaked.
LOL get Jaked. That's funny as hell. I remember when I first got my DINC that tool had a ton of people following him and was basically full of **** and made a million claims he didn't back up. I wad one of the ones who donated and supported his BS so getting jaked is real.;-)

I would buy it up front but I dont have the money to spend right now, that is why I need the donations to be able to afford the device.
Matt is a cool guy, I used to test his roms on my Droid! Once a recovery is made I will most likely make a donation to ya Matt

Asking someone to buy you a phone so you can develop on it is pretty shady at best, even when you dont seem that willing to help with the actual code. The work you have done seems good, but from what i can tell, you're more of a chef than a dev. I am more a chef as well, i dont know code very well, but am learning. At the moment, our efforts on getting a recovery are turning up at nothing, so asking for people to make a donation to get you a phone that you wont be able to push roms out for yet is just not the way to go. Advertise again when we have a working recovery, if we do get to that point.

Actually I am not a chef. I build from AOSP and other things. I know a lot of Java and some C++. I was not able to build from AOSP on the D2 because of several things Motorola has left out. I tried over and over. I am asking to donate so I will be able to get AOSP roms and source build things on this device. If you do not wish to donate do not. I am just asking so I can make roms better for the device when the recovery is booted and released. That is all.
Umm... get donations from the d1 and d2 work that you've already done, buy a Fascinate, create ROMs for that, and THEN (if it's a halfway decent job) people will donate without you even needing to ask them. Why ask people to pay for something that you haven't even done yet but then reassure them it'll happen because of your other work? If what you did with the d1/2 is good then shouldn't you be able to get donations from that? I'm not accusing you of trying to scam people I'm just telling you what seems to make the most sense.

Actually I am not getting many donations towards my D1/D2 development :/ I just need some money so I could develop of this device when there is a recovery but people needed to make a big deal out of it :/

Well, once again, I'm not accusing you of trying to scam. But you do have to look at this from everyone else's view and realize people are not going to be too quick to jump on this. If there's not much coming in from work you have actually already done then it really doesn't seem like there's going to be much turnout for something that, at this point, is just based on your word.
So what's the exact problem with the recovery? Some threads say that you guys are able to get into the recovery anyway?

the problem right now with the recovery is that we cannot even get a custom kernel to boot, which is the starting point for a working recovery.

According to several members that have contacted DELL, the official Honeycomb OTA is supposed to roll out within 48 hours.
We'd love to have someone there w/ HC experience to help us tweak things out and get it flashed!
************************************************************
Hello fellow xda members,
I know many devs and community members are busy enjoying and developing for many new shiny phones and tablet, but today i turn and ask for your help.
There is a small community of DELL Streak 7 owners along with ONE DEV who are trying to bring some life and a lot of improvements into our small and pitiful tablet running Tegra2.
Our current Honeycomb 3.2 build is running off the XOOM dump. We have some features and errors that of course, because there is no native dump for the streak, are having problems fixing.
I come asking as a poor newb, because i really tried to learn how to learn to modify ROMs and i couldn't do it, for your support.
Our one and only dev right now is DJ_Steve (Click here for profile), who has done and continues to do a freaking amazing job. He has achieved what many thought was not possible; making honeycomb work for our small tablet.
If any of you guys out there have any time and ability to spare, we would REALLY appreciate your support and expertise.
DELL has said they would release a HC update, but as we know, so has every other android manufacturer; most lie.
So, I come representing many, and humbly ask, will you help us out?
If you feel as though you can, please do not hesitate to contact DJ_Steve or visit our small part of paradise, as our link is below.
******7/29 UPDATE*********
We would truly really appreciate the support of any and all developers who can contribute in any possible way.
If it's of any incentive, you can now get the DELL Streak 7 @ Staples for $200+Tax after you apply this $100 coupon:

Sebastian

Up again. We now have an additional dev onboard as well as some members who've started learning android rom compiling!
Please don't hesitate to post on our forums or contact me or dj_steve if you can help out
would be nice to get more devs working on the streak7. I would be happy if one could get gingerbread running on it.
I am looking for a custom HC or ICS ROM without Sense and a few other customizations. I posted a job in the Job Market but have't had anyone contact me yet. I used another ad as my template but have no idea what most of the qualifications that I listed even mean but I figured that they are relevant. (lol-I can follow directions to root and flash, but that's where it ends) I'm not sure what is possible in terms of my wish list, but we have to start somewhere. I just sourced 40 HTC Flyers and have my work cut out for me having these ready in the next couple of months.
The dev community for the flyer/view is small (but dedicated!) here. You might do better to either place a bounty on it, so others could help, or maybe contact the cyanogenmod team to see if a donation/support pledge would spark interest in a port of cm9.
I'd love to see cm9 on my view.
edit: I see there is a bounty thread here

If you want a ROM without Sense, DeSensified HC is the best solution for know (still some Sense elements but it's pretty clean), Chaosz-X, I and many others are trying to get an AOSP ICS working, but it will take time to get it stable. So until that dream comes true I recommend DeSensified HC.

I've used CM ROMS before and yes, they are always good quality and stable. This "bounty" thing that you speak of...first I've heard of it. I'll look into it. Thanks for the tips!

That is what I running right now and considering that the developer says it's his first ROM, I am impressed. It works very nicely so far. I did have a wifi repeated disconnect issue but was told by another user that it's a HC thing and not the ROM. It was suggested that I assign a static. Did that and seeing how it goes. On another note...I wasn't aware that offering $ for a ROM could possibly get me into some heat here so I edited my post. Someone clued me on that and I am grateful. It would suck big time to get banned from here. This place is such an awesome resource. Feeling "bafoonish". Anyway, I have a little more info than I had an hour ago, so thank you both for putting in your 2 cents!

We welcome you, the Flyer community is a small but supportive community, and you haven't to offer $ from ROM's but what you always can do is donate money to developers working on ROM's to keep motivating them to improve their ROM's or bringing AOSP ICS closer
Hi everyone! For those that do not know I have been spearheading the cyanogenMod nook color project. I am looking for information on the custom firmware being developed here, whether we are developing Android 4.1 builds and whatnot.
I would like to know if there is any github repos on the nook tablet being maintained, and how kernel development is going. Would also like to know if anyone has the TI OMAP 4 drivers, sound codec drivers for this device. Would like to start rallying up support on this device as I have found out B&N is getting ready to release an updated nook tablet for B&N. Would like to see some development go towards the cyano boot loader and moved out of alpha development.
I think this project would be a great project to get up and going developing kernels for, if its not being done already, and I will try to use my influence on getting a proper nook tablet forum started down in cyanogenMod and start putting some time in Q&A and helping first time modders in there. I think having a proper forum down there would really help kick start this project.
I am really interested in development for the nook tablet because of the fact it uses the OMAP 4 dual layer processor with an included microSD card slot. Looking to pick me up one real soon if I can get a forum down in cyanogenMod started, and I am really persistent and think I can do so with the administrators. Persistence pays off.
Its also about self fulfilling prophecies. If you know you can do so and put it in writing, it most likely will happen for you. Just takes time and persistence.
Thank you and lets get this thread started! Feel free to PM me also.
Posted some threads and personal emails down in the cyanogenMod forums. Make sure to follow up guys. I know the older and serious developers would rather develop and not post chit chat comments in the forums but you do need to promote you work some.
Also leave some comments in the nook color forums complaining about no nook tablet support at cyanogenmod.
/thread.
I would love to see some extended development for CM10, even getting CM9 more stable would be a blessing. Most of the CM9 ROMs out there are Kindle ports rather than ones compiled specifically for the Nook.
That said, I'm pretty happy with what we do have for CM10. I'm using it and it works great, but development isn't progressing as fast here as it has been for other devices.
I'm not sure how to answer your questions about the processor and kernel, as I'm not a developer myself (yet), and I don't know if there are any github repos set up yet.
Hey sounds like your really wanting to do this and I'm super happy to see you help out I've always wanted honeycomb lol. Just a suggestion I have 3 roms for the nook tablet if you want to look at my work well not mine I port but i maintain over 13 roms. Its hard if you need anything just shoot me a pm and if you wanna Gtalk that's cool too. I suggest you get the 16gb if you do get the nook tablet only because of the nook tablet 8gb doesn't have some compatible roms. I will be building from source soon

Nook Tablet CM10
--Update--
SOLD.
It looks like the developer <Rebellos> has a link to his github repo work in this thread here guys. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1480586&page=78
Yes, I would love to see this device take off with android builds. I will keep working on the cyanogenMod team and send them email once a week, will try to tweet cyanogen himself on twitter too. Do not want to spam too hard, lol or they might withhold development out of spite.
With that new B&N nook tablet coming out with them promoting that new touch screen that they are coming out with this 7 inch tablet might be the next big thing for those wanting maximum storage on a tab.
Going to start taking a look on some repos here in the next few weeks for this device.
Since there are no real experienced devs in L9 forum. In very near future also it is not possible to get too many developers coming here from other devices. Therefore...posting this out of huge frustration.
I was thinking about a BOUNTY call for EXTREMELY EXPERIENCED DEVELOPERS who can build Custom Roms with many features as we already have unlocked bootloader. This was suggested to me by a user at least 2 months before for L9.
:laugh::laugh:How about calling a BOUNTY to be started for custom roms ...
with completely rebuilt custom Kernels with various profiles, like business, gaming, longest battery, etc.
with completely rebuilt bugless custom Kernels with safe and faster OC profiles from 1.2 to 1.5Ghz.
with completely rebuilt bugless stock rom with memory tweaks and missing bloatwares.
with completely rebuilt bugless CM, PA, AOSP, PAC port.
with completely rebuilt bugless Ubuntu port.
with Roms which can support all L9 Variants.
with working OTG
with working MHL
with working memory hack
with modded camera with hi-quality profiles
with really working Bravia Engine and not placebo
with really working Sound Enhancements and not placebo
with full support for theming
with full regular support for updates and willingness to for more wishlists.
ANYTHING ELSE YOU CAN THINK OF.... :laugh::laugh::laugh:
With current userbase here, it should not be difficult for us to achieve a goal of calling a bounty from $1500 to $3000. Bounty will be only for totally bugless Roms. If everyone of us can share a bounty from $10 to $100 depending on the wishlist items and its possibilities, I think we can achieve goals. Bounty can be declared for individual requirement or for all of above in one.
Come on pals, give me your opinion and wishlists. I have never started a bounty before or dont have an experience, I also don't know the rules. But if some of us could come together we can find the ways to move ahead. I dont know how this is going to workout if everyone agrees it may work. I know some will take me seriously :good: and others can simply laugh it out. :laugh: I really don't care. lolz
** It is known fact that, developers dont own all devices, but when bounty is declared they buy/borrow devices and start working on it.
**We may also need a group of beta-testers who should not leak the beta builds supplied by developers for testing.

Sounds like a plan.
I'd maybe be in with 10$, under the condition that it works for me (since I can't unlock my Bootloader/install CWM/etc for some reason) and that I still have my device when it's finished (including bricking etc.)

Great to know. Hope things roll in right direction. We really need too many people to support this. And yes, there are always chances of some users backing off or refuse to pay later, sort of cheating. Not a surprise, happened before.
I think this is a great idea!

These guys not only unlocked but coverted Optimus G to Nexus 4. 100% compatable with nexus 4 roms. Damnnnn!
I wonder if something like this could be done on Optimus L9 and making it Galaxy Nexus. I know this can't happen probably cause galaxy nexus is samsung device Optimus L9 Lg's baby.
Porting roms from galaxy nexus might be possible for experienced developers cause Optimus L9 has very similar hardware like Galaxy nexus. they both run on Ti Omap processor. Lg has Ti omap 4430, Galaxy nexus has Ti omap 4460.

You mean to say galaxy nexus roms compatable with optimus L9?????
OTG is important
Will gladly pay $10 for OTG.
My personal opinion is that, L9 is not unfortunate for not having good developers, but its unfortunate because this phone is in middle range and no generous users I can see here. Some talk about 5 bucks and some give lame excuses. We expect too much and shell out too less.
I also dont see good number of response after 400+ views. This means people are reading it and simply ignoring. I think now this thread is useless and not going to serve any purpose.
