Samsung Galaxy Ace Phone Giveaway to AOSP Developer - Galaxy Ace S5830 General

I am getting LG Optimus 2X and now my Galaxy Ace will collect dust...
But instead i will give the ace away to a talented AOSP developer that knows how to do it, and ofc have experience.
The reason i want to give it away is cause there is not enough developers on Galaxy Ace as you can see in our forum.
There is only 1 problem with the phone, and that is the screen.
It is cracked in the display, i dropped it but accident on a 12 hour work day and it just cracked, i cant post the pics but you can pm me and i will send you 2 tinypic links(i can reupload anyway you like but they are ready), 1 that shows the screen off and 1 where it is on.
The phone works 100% other then that, touch(i play GBCoid on it and it works perfectly) gps data calls both mic and small speaker works and the speaker behind works also, havent use it much.
I would figure that the screen it self does not need to be perfect to have a developer phone
I have no idea if it has somekind of protection, it has CWM 5 from the forums and Grifs CM 7.1. no idea if bootloader is protected or other things.
If i find a worthy person of this great phone i will send it to him/her and i will pay the delivery, totaly free, with the original charger and USB Cable also original, and ofc the box.
All i want in return is an active developer, and hopefully you can bring friends so Kernel(if you dont know how to) and other stuff is working.
I must say for a cheap phone the Galaxy Ace is perfect for everyday use and as a member of the android family it deserve atleast some more attention then what it gets already.
On the 5th of January i will have given this phone away, if not here then to a RL friend, if not earligere.
Feel free to ask anything you like, but keep it real(clean = no flamming or disreguard of rules)

There is a guy called Emoboiix3 floating around in the Ace forums. He's done a lot of good things for the SGA. My recommendation =]

Thread moved to Ace. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
Failure to comply with forum rules will result in an infraction and/or ban depending on severity of rule break.

How about Darky Rom? They wanted a phone so they could start dev. Maybe you should try contacting them!

That's a really noble thought. Its good of you.

You can pause repo by force closing the terminal .
Then when you're re-starting repo just type:
Code:
$ PATH=~/bin:$PATH
$ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
$ repo sync

i HIGHLY suggest fuss132.
by far, he is the DEV who has the best credentials and doesn't have an Ace.
weeks ago, he made a request in here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343446
He is mainly active in Galaxy SL and Ace.
Check out his other threads: http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=102586565
As you can see, he has done a lot and is willing to do more once he gets his hands on a Galaxy Ace.
You can also visit his website: http://www.team-blockbuster.com/

Give it to darkys rom because they need a SGA to make a rom

Give it to any dev who requires it and come ahead and just request for it, instead of us users to see who should get it.

Same as MrChaosDesire; I thought this thread was for developers to come up and ask for themselves, and not the users coming up and saying "+1 <insert a developer's name here>". Some of you won't even know if a particullar dev is in need of the phone or not.
In last (contradicting my above mentioned point) I'd like to suggest fuss132, since he's desparately developing for Ace without even owning one.

Please consider a donation for a Galaxy ACE to Team-Blockbuster for development

Hey ACE-users,
Some of you contacted me and requested if i would like to develope for the Galaxy ACE and help you to solve some problems. Because of this and because of the fact that a friend of someone out of our Team bought one I started developing.
Problem is that we have not really a device we can use for developeing (we can´t use our friends every time ^^) and especially things like ICS Porting or Kernel developing needs one (we must test the files for working first).
So now BlockBuster Team would like to know if the user community here is interested in donating a device to us for development.
I mostly developed for the Galaxy S before, but also for Galaxy SLC (http://www.xda-developers.com/android/ics-ported-to-galaxy-s-i9003/) Galaxy 3... Mostly I´m developing by myself (kernel, scripts, tweaks, custom roms) but I teach other people who want to learn developing, too (like 5pace) . Check out my Threads, my Tutorials and our Homepage. I´m currently waiting for Galaxy S 3 release, so i´ve now the time for your device.
So what do the users of this community think? Let us know your opinion in this thread. If you want we can create a Paypal account and you can start to donate.
Maybe there´s someone here who doesn´t need his Galaxy ACE any longer - if it´s working it would be the easiest way for us to become one if you send it to us.
fuss132
@Mods: I wasn´t sure if i should post this in Developement section. Finally i posted it here cause it´s a request - something like a quuestion If you think it´sin the wrong one feel free to move it
Up for you.
Please remember, the users of 'your' S5830 forums contacted me...
BTW, any people that might want to help me with a ICS port?

Don't think we should port it at the moment. 1, it's just an sdk and 2, I believe it's for OMAP processors at the moment. Wait for source?

No point complaining. The site owners have done what they do on a regular basis. This has always happened and will always continue. Every now and then they look at which forums are busiest and they move the lower activity ones.
Its not a personal attack. Have you seen how many new high end phones have been released in the last six months around the world and how many are being sold every day? Some are more popular than others. It means nothing to be moved, as long as people keep the place alive it will be here.
If you need to be on the front page because of your insecurities buy a new phone because this forum won't be moved no matter how much anyone cries to the mods/admins/owners. Clicks mean money and they can earn more from others forums/phones with higher activity. Something has to earn money to keep the site functioning.

sadly I agree with you.. I should start learning android development I mean like from this week onward and start contributing to our community in some way.. I just graduated last week and its time to mess with android.. Nims could you direct me for some good development websites so I could start reading..
XDA's action to move GSA to "new house" more or less makes us unhappy but anyway it not affects to the fact that CyanogenMod 7.2 official release will include our devices (not nightlies as confirmed by Kolja Dummann on G+)

Me too...I dont think i will be able to part with my ace easily,Its my first Android phone,if i learned anything about Android,its because of this phone...Even if i want to change....
I dont think my father would let me buy one atleast for the next 6 months anyway
Not that changing phones regularly is a good thing,with a smartphone market like this,you really have no choice,look at Ace,when it came out.It was an awesome phone for its price,a mid-high end ranged phone...But now its sad that people call single core under 1GHz phones,low end
this news has no effect on me. i still love my ace,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

An Introduction

I am a fairly new member here and I must say that I love this place. This has been the most useful site I have ever come across, concerning things android. Tinkering with electronics and computers has been one of the things that came naturally to me and so getting my first android was pretty exciting as I've never cared for iOS or Blackberry platforms. I have always been interested in Linux, which probably helped in my decision to go with android ( price also played a factor lol ). My first android was an INQ Cloud Touch, which I immediately rooted, installed busy box and ROM toolbox. Nice phone, but sadly it was also my first and only hard brick. lol. A twitchy thumb and system files = a bad thing. Replacement phone was the HTC Status ( chacha ) which I couldn't get the bootloader unlocked ( did eventually thanks to xda, now running CM9 ). So I went looking for another phone and stumbled on the Samsung Galaxy Ace and fell in love with it. Thanks to these forums the Ace was the first phone I rooted and installed a custom rom on. It is also the one that I've gotten brave enough to try a few different scripts on to extend the internal memory.
My sincere thanks for all the developers here, and for the members willing to offer any help. This is the site I have been recommending to anyone I know who have expressed an interest in improving thier android experience. A little knowledge, some curiosity and a willingness to try anything, can be a great thing...unless you brick your phone, then experience is a teacher as well. lol.
Thanx again.
the ace is a nice phone with lots of dev support

well for one you WONT be getting any help in this forum, i dont know if you realized this but you posted in "Galaxy Note II, Galaxy S III Developer Discussion [Developers Only]" which is meant for developers only "This forum is only for high-level discussion about Galaxy Note II & Galaxy S III development (kernel modification, coding, building ROMs, etc). **Please do not post here if you are not a developer or your post will be deleted.**" So chances are this will be deleted before you see it, but there is a section "Themes and Apps " post there and I am sure someone will help, but this isnt the correct place for it.

Well if you looked first at the forums you may find information .
But as you are such an ars ole no wonder you get no help .
A clue CM will not transfer to Samsung you would need a total rebuild of the framework and more .
jje
No not an arse hole just someone trying to get some information so no need for the names as i wasnt getting rude like yourself. I was just simply saying when your new on here everyone fobs you off and more interested in telling you can you not write certain things on here. I paid for my xda app so not a rip off just think sometime people should try and help, share the knowledge.

themes are rom dependent..so the theme which you bought for cm will not work on stock tw..as the frameworks are different..you can start from the beginning and have a look at the theming guides..
