Hi guys,
Since many of us updated to the official unrooted ICS & many of those are waiting impatiently, let us start encouraging developers to root our Sony Tablet S.
In this post I'll collect the pledges:
1.SudaDreamS, $20
2. el0heem, $10
3. doc_haz, $5
4. hogaburger, $10
5. Johny1fin, $5
6. Vedrick, $40
7. magick86, $10
8. robber, $25
9. docfreed, $20
10. stifilz, $10
11. sensemilla, €25=$30
12. papacarla, $5
13. dingochutney, $20
14. tasar, $50
15. gordo79, $40
16. pol18, $20
17. Danzdroid, $40
18. vonManstein, $25
19. lgbaixauli, $20
Well since half of the people who pledged money for rooting HC never paid up,I don't think developers are gonna be too encouraged to try rooting ICS.
Well, i would pay for the Rooting and for the Support but for now i don't see any results or some light in the end of the Tunel for rooting ICS.
So if one of the devs can say we are on it and try many thinks and tell in a thread whats going on, so many users i think would pay some cash for the devs.
I picked one of the Sony S' up at the Sony store and I really like it so I am going to see what the current state of development is and see where I can contribute.
I would contribute but I think I would prefer to see the bootloader unlocked first. I know there must be some devs working on it somewhere.

I been thow every partition on the sony s what iv worked out is sony hides both recovery and boot but what I dont get is why sony has to system partitions both in dev/block/
so in dev/block/mmcblk0p3 is honeycomb 3.2.1 release 2
but in dev/block/mmcblk0p2 is honeycomb 3.2 release 1
but it anit mounted
highly support this!!! can't wait for this
also hope sony can unlock the bootloader
I totally would have payed for hcroot if I didn't have stupid build 10#.

This tab is awesome even as-is. It can be nicely tweaked using alternative launchers, disabling or removing some bloat (really not a lot of bloat installed) and some 3rd party apps - root can only make it better.
Well. I did'nt sign the first time. Never too late i say.
I Pledge 5 USD. Sorry i cannot afford more. But the exchange currency is a lot for me :-/

Update 25th Aug: Everyone who donated and is listed in the first post will get the free SIM-unlock and fastboot enable once the non-SEtool solution is out, if you need it.
I would love to offer it to everyone but it'll be paid solution and I have limited resources for unlocking.

These cheaper offers do not ship in Croatia. I can get them only if someone who can get it ships it to me additionally.
Aaaand, you know, I have to admit, having white X8 made me want white Play
The first one does ship in Croatia
However, it's ending up in one day. Would we be able to collect 500 dollars in one day???

Hmm... I doubt...
Important note: I need R800i.
And try not to link Hong-Kong version because it's system image is different than other R800i phones...
We should be able to use comgateway.com on items in US only, however it would be cheaper to ship to a forum member and have it shipped along, providing they are a trustworthy member.
I've published this thread on a Spanish forum asking for help. I hope we'll make it soon. I'm putting this thread on my sig!

A device was purchased and sent to show_p1984. it didn't arrive yet, because of usps. show_p1984 has shared with me the link to the shipment.
we covered the device, a pen and most of the taxes that the shipping will cost.
you can stop donating now.
from now on, any donation should be to the developers themselves, as they get along with their work.

That's progressing nicely. but we need to find a way to contact a developer..
we can offer the money as it is, or we could purchase a device for a developer willing to put an effort..
We only need to find one..
I agree with Guru..
But it must be someone who has a know-how of roms AND kernels..
And preferably someone with experience in:
Holiday / Pyramid
and Flyer
Anyone knows who this might be?
I shall contribute too but amount right now flexible-so won't commit right now. Busy till December 6th as of now.
And I suggest chaos-x or dexter. They both have managed to get aokp and jb respectively for the flyer. Dexter has gotten a working scribe pen for the flyer jb. Both seem really good developers. Would be good to approach them for help. So also would be the developers of villain and el Diablo roms for the Jetstream.

well, we've got a serious dilema on our hands.
yncconsulting is willing to try and develop jb for us, but he needs a device. we can put up our money and buy one for him,
and here lays a dilema:
on the one hand, we'll have a developer on the forum, which is awesome. and it could mean jb for the device.
on the other hand, there's always a chance he won't succeed, leaving us without the money or the proper version.
the price for an unused device is about 350$ and that is what yncconsulting wants.
personally, i think we should go for it. probably our last chance..
if we will all be in agreement, we'll work the details of how to put the money together.

hum.. though one guru, but what the heck. But I know there are used devices in good conditions for less than 350.
"the price for an unused device is about 350$ and that is what yncconsulting wants. "
i tried the used angle. the developer said that if all he's getting out of this is a device, he want it to be new. i can understand that.

4.4 GPE Rom Bounty
Challenge: Bounty to the first developer able to port the GPE HTC One 4.4 rom (being released shortly) to the Droid DNA, for both Verizon and GSM and make them stable (all functions of GPE rom working as expected...no major crashing, daily-driver worthy etc). There's at least 1 developer looking to take on the challenge. First to succeed wins.
Why?: Unfortunately NewToRoot, original GPE Rom developer, had to stop development of the rom (best of luck NewToRoot), so we need another dev to pick it up

Total: $280
GOAL: $500
HOW BOUNTY IS DECIDED AND AWARDED: A developer can release his/her/their rom at any point in time (even before they feel it is complete...just like in most rom development processes). It will not be voted on right away, so there is no risk to this. This will allow the developer to get testing feedback and make adjustments. They should start a new thread for their rom just as any new rom development would. It is recommended that they make a post in this thread mentioning the release and provide a link to the thread, so that everyone is aware and can test. Once a developer feels his/her rom has met the requirements and could possibly win (or 3 or more pledgees feel so), he/she/they should make a post in this thread saying so (a developer has 48 hours to override a nomination by pledgees by PM'ing me or replying to this thread, if they want to delay the vote). At that point, all pledgees will be asked to vote if they feel the bounty should be awarded (pledgees will be notified of a voting via private message and a post with their username mentioned). Pledgees can vote by responding in this thread or by private messaging me if they would like to keep their vote private. If after 1 week (168 hours), 75% or more of the pledgees that voted say the developer was successful, the bounty will be awarded and ALL pledgees (even those who voted "no" or those who didn't vote at all) should submit payment via paypal to the address the developer provides (or privately arrange a different form of payment with the developer). To get a vote, you have to pledge, so it's just another reason to contribute. Any pledgee that voted no will be asked for feedback as to why and this will be submitted to the developer. If the rom didn't win and the bounty is still open, the developer can make adjustments and resubmit (and again it won't come up for a vote until the developer requests it or he gets nominated by 3 pledgees).
NOTE: If more than 1 rom is up for voting at the time, all roms will be allowed their full week of voting before a winner is decided. Pledgees may vote for any rom in contention at this time (even if the rom's 1 week has passed). Pledgees may change their vote at any time during this period and may vote yes for more than 1 rom. If more than 1 rom has 75% or more of the votes, then the winner will be determined by highest number of "yes" votes. If there is a tie it will be determined by highest % of "yes" votes (of the roms that tied). If there is still a tie, there will be a run off vote where pledgees must vote for which rom (from the tie) they believe should get the bounty, and the rom with the most votes will win. Finally if there is a tie in that, then the roms that tie will split the bounty.
PITCH:
Come on people...Whatever you got $5, $10, $20, $30, $50. No amount is too small (unless it's under $5...that's too small ) It's a great way to award developers and help contribute to the community.
HOW:
Just reply to this thread to the amount you are willing to contribute if a developer can pull this off. You don't pay now...only if they succeed.
Thanks to all contributors and developers up for taking on the challenge! :good:
DISCLAIMER: All contributors are responsible for their own pledges. If anyone fails to pay or backs out or can't be found, I'm not responsible. Also I am not responsible for any damage that may occur to a phone during this process, nor can I be held liable for any liability, harm, injustice, damage, claim. etc, that may occur in this process. If you install one of the roms, consider your warranty void and I am not responsible for any damage that may occur as a result. You are doing this at your own risk. Additionally, the $500 goal is just a goal, nothing more. The only potential reward in the end is what's pledged, be it higher or smaller than the goal. Finally, these terms may be clarified from time to time by me to remove confusion and address situations that haven't yet been addressed, so it is recommended to review these on a frequent basis and PM me if you have any objections or questions.

This right here is one miniscule reason why I will always appreciate Android so much more than iOS.
just for clarification sake, you guys might want to clarify what qualifies a rom as "stable" for the sake of the bounty
ie, what features *must* be working to be considered stable? bt, data, calls, messaging, and so on
because otherwise what might be considered stable to one person, might not be to another and you could have a messy issue with a dev trying to collect the bounty with some of those pledging not considering their release to be stable

I learned yesterday that buyers of the Note Pro 12 in Singapore are getting free with their purchase the NEW Samsung BT s mouse, BT keyboard and samsung case. For me here in the US those accesories will cost at leastv $160 above and beyond theb $700 plus tax I paid at BESTBUy. Of the perks I did get, the only worthwhile one was the $25 playstore certificate and I guess the $25 hub, which I could care less about. Since samsung is marketing this tab as a business and laptop replacement tab, a keyboard, mouse and cover SHOULD be included. We should all complain to Samsung. This is class actionable. Agreed?

What's that supposed to mean--"just what we need?" Don't you think it's unfair that US customers are being screwed out of such perks. btw, I didn't mean an ACTUAL lawsuit. I meant everyone should complain to Samsung who think it's unfair. Apparently you dont.

Interesting perspective that we're somehow being screwed because Samsung has come to the conclusion that they have to provide that deep of a local incentive package to help drive sales. There is an inherent flaw in thinking that pricing and promotional offers are somehow globally equitable. I would have been happy if they would have at least had the book cover available here at the time and location of purchase, let alone actually providing it.
Sent from my SM-P900 using Tapatalk
Well they probably didn't have the cover when you wanted it because dude they are giving them all away in singapore. Just like there are no s mice or new keyboards here.
Let's not forget the Note costs considerably more in other countries. Higher incentives have to be given to justify a cost of 1,000.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
Just an FYI,
What makes you think that it's "Samsung" that is the donator / sole contributor of those mice and keyboards etc.?
Developers don't need no stinkin' signature!

Who else would it be? Samsung authorized is doing it. Why so defensive. Everyone here who shelled out BIG bucks for this tab shud be pissed they are not getting a free mouse, keyboard and cover. I know I am.

Sure, you go find the lawyer and get back to us when your case is ready for participants. Who says the American courts are full of frivolous cases!
I didn't actually mean a LEGAL action, mr. Rolls-HIS-EYES, I just meant by action that people should call 800-samsung and say "where's my $160 worth of free hardware that's being given free in singapore?' Because now I gotta go buy IN ADDITION to the $700 plus it cost me to get into this game a keyboard mouse and cover (if I choose samsung) to use it as a business tablet as samsung is promoting it. So do you have a problem with that? No court action.

you really can't make anyone pay. mods can ban them, but i mean, what are you going to do? no bounty gets paid 100%
all bounties added up to this post
count me in for $30
If "making it work" includes rooting the phone (or anything similar) then I'd have to opt out for real. I've stop being a fan of rooting since my Galaxy S3 (tried root on it & were very unstable); I just really want to stick with stock rom and still get the feature to work (which is kind of impossible). Wish that Google made the 6P dual-sim at the start though.

Good point, we should definitely have some rules around what "works" is.
I personally would prefer a non-root option, but I highly doubt that would be the case. Plus, if it did require root (but not much else), I probably would feel its worth doing.

There were already folks trying to not get too "deep" into root to make it work (simple editing of build.prop, flashing small zips or even flashing custom roms, etc.) but still no luck I'm guessing it's gonna be "heavy" on rooting, which is really not my type since I'm already enjoying my stock right now So yeah I'm gonna opt out of the bounty, however I still want to see if someone can actually make this work Good luck! :good:
Please count me in for $50. I might even root the phone if it saves me the hassle of carrying two phones when overseas.
I will kick in $100 if the method works on an unrooted stock 6P.
Count me in for $20
Count me in for $50 if it will works flawless ... root or not root.
Count me in for $50, root or unroot. I would buy the 6P in an instant if I could dual SIM on it. Would love to have my work phone and personal phone be on the same device.
Thanks!

I think there is a misunderstanding of how root is done on a Nexus device vs some others.
There doesn't need to be an exploit and patch on a Nexus device.
Rooting only means you can have administrative privileges on your device.
If you never use the elevated access nothing happens.
I'll give $100
i haven't been by an actual computer in a while.. i'll update this over the weekend.
