Where is the love? **$375** [ICS] PLEDGE for DONATION - HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G

So clearly we are all a bit upset about the confirmation HTC has given us, no ICS love for flyer and view users. Certainly a sad day in the history of our device. But that shouldn't deter you from ever seeing ICS on our beloved tab's.
The devs are currently working very hard to get a bootable ICS ROM. And I believe they have made a few monumental breakthroughs over the last week or so. However, they still have quite the ways to go.
Want to speed things up? Want to help out but don't know where to start or how to help.... TRY DONATING!
i've been a part of this process and have seen devices benefit greatly from this in the past.
But i'd like to set this topic up for pepole interested in Donating to achieve a goal.
i'd personally love to see AOSP/CM9 on our devices but there's a lot left still to do, lets help motivate our current developers, and potentially get others excited by posting up what you are TRULY willing to donate should ICS rom's for the flyer/view become commonplace here at XDA.
Im personally willing to donate to all developers involved in bringing ICS rom to flyer at least 50$ for the whole project, to be divided among devs as they see fit.
I will update this post regularly to try and keep a running tally of how much potential donations could be claimed by the group who brings a working ICS rom to our device.
Killerskincanoe: 50 US$
Kudzus: 50 US$
Lawguy: 30 US$
Inmnbob: 50 US$
N7of9: 20 US$
Brandonc_mail: 25 US$
iflyer: 25 US$
RED ZMAN: 50US$
nieves53: 25US$
gbweller: 25US$
henningspruth: 25US$
Anyone else?
just trying to spread the xda-dev love.

LOL! Cracked me up man.
I'd be down with $25 easy.
I'm not that bitter at HTC as they never promised ICS- but if I bought that overpriced Jetstream- I'd be kinda pissed... or are they getting it after all and I missed a memo?

I'd really enjoy a jetstream I think. The only thing holding me back is lack of dev support. And price. There's really only a few devs for flyer and view. Super glad to have the ones we do! That being said. Tis why I'm starting this thread. Maybe spike the intrest of an aspiring dev looking for a new project or some extra doll hairs for his/her pocket.

All we need is a working kernel. That is 95% of the work to get this started. The kernel for the express and the flyer are different, so we actually need two bootable kernels (one for view, one for flyer). I wouldn't know if the flyer 3G needs a different one, hopefully not so.
I can do the rest of the work transitioning and feeding AOSP ICS roms for view, that's pretty simple and straightforward.
So, some people you can wave that $250 bounty pot to off the top of my head:
- cayniarb
- adrenalyne
- jmztaylor (hope you figure it out, dude)
- LorD ClockaN (maybe if he wants to )
- toastcfh (?)
- ???
any more candidates feel free to toss in.

We actually already got it booting on the Flyer. But it crashes after about 30 seconds because the WiFi isn't working as it should, and that breaks wpa_supplicant, which results in the SetupWizard to crash because normally that APK calls wpa_supplicant.
Edit: no, nvm, that is not it. WiFi ain't working, but the real issue that's going on seems to be a memory leak which makes pmem run out of space, causing the app to crash. Every application has this behaviour, a change in the kernel should sort it out.

Looks like the pot is 375 now?
enough to buy a tab with some left over.
Gotta clarify that only the flyer is being worked on, no progress in the view though.
I talked with Lord, he has no time unfortunately. cayniarb/tiamat may be getting a view soon. That would mean a good leap for the view if it happens. The flyer guys can just follow up on the other guy.

Which device - Flyer or View - would be worked on first?

---

Depends on who is the person working on the kernel. None of the devs currently working here have both flyer and view, to my knowledge. It's a lot of trial and error to get the kernel working (and the other device needs a different one), even I have tried for the view. But it is pretty much the only thing that is keeping us from getting AOSP/ Sense 4 ICS right now.
All builds, ports and whatnot should be working fine once we get past that challenge.
Worst comes to worse, the CM team has the view defined in their kernel setup. Just a matter of time if that view maintainer decides to work on it. I don't know about the flyer.
