Im starting this thread to get more roms, and development in general, going for the DNA. Now i will do the same thing i did on my last bounty thread, and start this off with a $25.00 donation. The device will go to hawknest, who will bring a version if his ecliptic ROM. negative comments please keep to yourself. Unlike my last bounty, this device will b for an upgrade. So the amount needed is $199.00. I will post a link to his paypal when the goal is reached. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Amount needed $199.00
Amount reached $25.00

Mods have been cracking down on this kind of post
8. Donations.
We appreciate all donations to xda-developers.com, it keeps our forum online and well maintained. As a user you're allowed to ask for donations in your signature as a thank you for your hard work. However donations up front are not allowed, this forum is about sharing, not about getting paid to do something, that's what your job is for.
Well let's put it this way. I'll be willing to donate to a dev When he/she posts a safe and working s-off method.

I understand completely. However, on the other hand, i started a bounty on the x+ for viper rom. Goal is already reached, and phone is in mail to turge, the dev. All within a week. So u see, some of us really are only trying to "CONTRIBUTE" and make this community the best it can be.
I put emphasis on the contribute, because i was recently denied "RC" title! Even though i played a huge part in bringing jelly bean to the one xl, and recently, in my opinion played a big time part in bringing the most innovative sense rom in history to the x+.
So u can see my frustration......no? Lol
I understand jcase, and no disrespect towards u at all. Im using the DNA, and because of u, im unlocked.....that sir......is contributing in its finest!

Fund raisers and bounty threads are a tricky thing, because although they are frowned upon officially, there are very rare instances where they are allowed. So long as they stay within a few very specific guidelines.
In general, if you wish to donate to someone please do so, but only because you wish to show your gratitude for their hard work and the time they've put towards helping the community. Donations should not be given expecting anything in return.
When you start giving giving devices and money in return for something it changes from a donation to you buying a service. Which is both against the forum rules and starts attracting undesirable people.
TL;DR: Donate out of gratitude and anyone you donate to is under no obligations to do anything in return for it.

Well, it's after February. Over 200 dollars were collected and given to workshed in appreciation for his work on the eris.
Wattnxt, thank you for managing the money.
For all who donated, me, watt, and shed all thank you for donating, of course.
I was gonna make this a "workshed appreciation thread" but that would clearly put down the efforts of all of the devs that worked on the eris, and i'm not here to spread the hate.

I think the majority of the discussion is about the Rezound and the Galaxy Nexus. champdr0id moved it to this post to prevent the derailment of the development thread.
---------- Post added at 08:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:54 PM ----------
Thanks for getting the ball rolling, wattnxt and champdr0id! I just donated $15. I hope everyone else can follow suit. If everyone donates at least $5-$10 we can easily meet or exceed the goal. See below for wattnxt's donation link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/donatetome.php?u=4031799
Or click on the "Donate to me" button in the profile section of any of wattnxt's posts.
Cheers!
That is 100% correct, we are striving to pay Shed back for all he has done for so many of us.
Let me be clear that I am in no way diminishing the work that many other devs do for us here. But for many who have been with Shed in the Eris GSB thread, and have benefited from his work, it has become personal. This is our tribute to him and all he has done without asking for anything in return.
That said. I've started a collection to get Shed a new phone. The final choice will be his, but I believe the GN and Rezound are in the running.
Since there is really no good way to do this, here's the plan...
I cleared my donation account of all but $50, which is my initial donation to the cause. All donations for the month of February go to the Shed phone fund. If there is enough before the end of the month, I will make the domain to Shed in a lump sum with the names of all who donated. If there is more at the end of the month, that is his too....call it the accessory fund...lol.
I figure we should be able to get this done relatively quickly, considering all the people GSB has reached.
Thanks Shed. As a father of 3, I understand and appreciate the hours you spend in front of the the PC helping us all.
Sooooo, to donate...click on my donate link on this site and every penny in February goes to Shed.
Thanks everyone for coming together to thank a pillar of the dev community.

Paypal finally decided to be a *****. Gonna mess with it later, then donate.
I am interested to know what the total donation sits at though. HEY WATT!!
Just a friendly reminder, if you pledge, please don't forget to make your donation.
There has been some question on how to donate via the mobile app.
Click on my username, select more, user's profile, scroll down to paypal donation email. Tap on donation email, and it should bring up paypal with everything but your donation amount.
If you wish to remain anonymous, please state that on the notes field, otherwise your name will be added to the contributors list given to Shed when I post the lump sum to his paypal donation account.
Thanks everyone for making this possible.
As of now, the fund sits at just over $105.00. Though we currently have pledges for close to $200 so far.
Thanks again everyone for the support on this.
Still hoping he picks the GN, but hey...he could tank us all and pick the Razr....yeah right...but if he did, it's still his choice.
Thanks Shed...and everyone keep those donations coming, even $5 helps show your support for a pillar in the dev community.
Thanks,
Jay

I hope he picks the Droid Bionic. We could use some developers who have a following like this. I've never used any of his art (I consider rom developers artists) but I have to say it must have been pretty good to have people wanting to buy him a new phone as a thank you. I'm jealous, I get mass produced roms that are built on several devices and lose that personal feeling that you get when the developer actually uses the phone.

Donation sent. Hope it helps.
Some people prefer to donate to Shed directly, and I think that is fantastic.
I know the net is a place where we are all virtual strangers.
Donation received, the pot for Shed is now up to $165.00, not counting direct donations. If we can keep this up for another 2 weeks, Shed should be able to pick any phone he desires.
Thanks everyone for making this cumulative Thanks to Shed possible.

I've seen a few devs get funds for new phones on the rezound side of the house by posting a similar thread within the new phone of choice thread.. I think workshed should decide the direction he wants to go. Then get one of those peeps to post for funds.

To All, Let's get clear what kind of bounty thread is acceptable and what is not :
A bounty thread that is posted for anyone to claim should they solve a problem or provide a fix is Acceptable.
A bounty thread like this which is to provide a person money or specific team money...etc IS NOT ACCEPTABLE........
THEREFORE...... THIS IS CLOSED AND DO NOT POST A BOUNTY LIKE THIS AGAIN......
THANK YOU ••• MODERATORS
I used the T989 (S2 for T-Mobile) before switching to the note and I must say that his guy is one of a kind and would be a great asset to the i717 dev community.
His T988 ROM (Darkside) is very popular as well as his kernel (Darkside Kernel). Used by 7+ different roms.
I managed to talk to him via PM about helping us out and would contribute if only he had the device.
I will be collecting the funds on his behalf and paying the rest needed for the device within a week or two tops so he can start developing
He's a great guy so please let's not piss him off with ETAs and unnecessary requests.
Lets set our goal at $750 for a new one from Bestbuy or $550 used from craigslist/ebay.
I'll start the bounty with $50 and will pay for the rest for a device after two weeks tops.

First off, no disrespect for you in this post, thederekjay, don't know your work, I'm sure you're great.
But OP, your thread title is disrespectful to the devs working on the Note today. Just because you have a favorite dev/rom on another phone/etc, doesn't mean you should post with that sort of slant. Devs are taking enough crap here lately for no reason.

He has created some amazing roms/kernels/tools for the t989.
I know people in the t989 forum would get this phone just because he's deving for it.(which may not be a good thing based on how things turned out)
Good luck...I had a troll get the bounty someone set for me, deleted...
TDJ...Nice to see u still at it
Honestly goodluck where ever u go man.
I ordered a Galaxy Nexus a few hours ago.

It doesnt matter how the money is received IMO. As long as donations are for a good cause (Hence Getting TDJ here) then it shouldnt be a problem. People get burned everyday with money, people donate to even "greater real world causes" and get burned, its the way it is, not saying that thats how it should be.
I had no intentions on development for this phone until yesterday night when a few guys insisted that they wanted me to dev for it. They started a bounty the same as this one. I didnt have anything to do with what happened to you all with these other guys that came in and did nothing "per say", so it was not fair at all for my thread to get deleted, nor trolled. I thought the rules were "A dev couldnt ask for money to get his/her a device"
But anyways, im donating 10$ to TDJ Because he is loyal and he works very hard, i have much respect for the man. His Rom was very great, not to mention I even used his kernel and advertised his super wipe script in both of my ROM threads.
Last time im gonna be here...Good luck TDJ

My question is of a serious nature.Even though Im not exactly new here I am new to the Rezound section.I noticed earlier that a thread I was reading was shut down.It was shutdown mid-read and i have a question about that.
It seems that one person whined about dmeadows asking for donations not for himself but for another awesome developer who has the ability to bring something everybody wants but nobody else has the ability to deliver including the gentleman who got the thread shut down.
Maybe a Mod can help me understand the rules.As long as xda has existed these sorts of "Help a Dev help us" threads have existed and were perfectly ok.See Here:
http://www.google.com/cse?q=bounty+...59-1#gsc.tab=0&gsc.q=bounty thread&gsc.page=1
But one thread gets closed down because someone who is a well known donation hound complains because they arent getting the attention and/or donations.If you are going to apply your gestapo tactic rules to one apply them to all,not just when your buddy complains to you about it in a pm.Im genuinely confused about this.I read and reread the rules and dont understand where it says this is acceptable behavior.
that whole situation reminds me and hopefully reminds the one who's allowed themselves to be intimidated to "practice before you preach"
I'm not really sure whats going on around here recently... people are acting all sorts of edgy in Rezound land. All I can say is - WOW. I'm starting to think humanity is devolving quickly.
**edit**
or is the correct word de-evolving??
As I said in another thread:
The donations for Protekk were merely made to purchase him a Rezound, with this Rezound he could work on the RIL. NOT AOSP/AOKP Roms. What he does after is his choice.

I completely agree. all were willing to contribute to a cause. can't get progress going without the device.also just because there's unfinished projects doesn't mean someone deserves to be put on the spot like that.

Agree wholeheartedly.
the overall point is to be a team and help each other not go after someone which is clearly a rule they broke themselves. breaking one rule to publicly point out another rule which is still questionable broken or not is not why we're here. this behavior needs to stop and we need to be a team if we are going to make goals happen

You are absolutely right.What I fail to understand is that prior to this incident there was a gazillion and one Bounty threads dating back to the beginnings of Android threads here on XDA and there wasn't any issue with it till someone got jealous.I think it just violates to the core everything Android is supposed to be about when someone gets their panties in a wad over pure jealousy.

It does. It was a move that is similar to Apple trying to stomp out competition by patent trolling. And believe me, that particular developer has just lost a lot of respect from the community. I for one have no problems saying publicly that I don't condone that behavior, nor will I support developers who engage in that kind of activity.
I believe the problem was the phone was purchased and the thread wasn't closed. And there were references that people should donate some extra cash to protekk

ok well this could have been it. but there are other ways to go around this. one is if you just click the report button and tell the mod that he received the phone and that it should be closed.
what they did was go in and flame the $h|T out of Dmeadows, when all they had to do was suggest to him that he needs to contact the mods to close it.
this is why i wont post stuff on xda anymore. it seems like there are more people out to flame then just help. most of the people just jumped on the ban wagon when a dev was involved. all the dev had to do was pm meadows and that would have been it. but he just wanted to post so everyone can see how much of a BA he was. that is not needed at all.
Wow. I just saw the thread with the people involved. Shocked at who it was and what they said.
A simple PM wouldve helped. When you come out your face like that you lose really quick.
Ijs, d helped us get joelz here and joelz work has helped the complainer and others out and im sure prot would done the same . Its messed up really, and i can see what people mean with how the community is going down, especially when the devs are part of it too, smh. Lol crazy.

I understand what you're saying there and I partially agree but the part I am most agitated about and have a hard time understanding is the fact that one person is being told they are breaking the rules by asking for something that doesn't yet exist,but that same thing he is getting ripped on for has occurred over and over since Androids beginnings on XDA but it was never made an issue of before and allowed to happen by mods and administration alike.But when one person who out of pure jealousy makes an issue out of it,the rule is then enforced.

Flaming doesnt get us anywhere. Plus D was trying to do a good thing for the community. HE got the ball rolling on getting the correct people involved and bringing more options and development to our phones.
I dont want to add anymore and i know im breaking a rule by attacking one individual. This should note be considered a flame, but as an inspiration to RELAX. We are all trying to achieve one goal.

I dont' think XDA is the real problem... its just a few bad attitudes in here. XDA has the largest user base, meaning there's a larger pool of potential trouble-makers. It does surely get annoying from time to time, but if everybody on XDA simply moved to another forum, the same drama would likely just follow the users...
I'm not really sure there is a solution, except for ignoring the trouble makers..

Isn't this against forum rules? Asking for donations on a nonexistent product?

Buy it yourself and put something for the DNA out and then ask for donations to pay for it.
I for one would love to see a Newt and Hawk ROM, it'd be bada*s. I'll send some your guys way when I can. :good:

Wait, you're asking people to pay so you can start developing? Doesn't that kinda go against the Android developing philosophy?

Hey Zounduser,
Are we doing this like we did for Hasoon? I'm in for $50, and if I can get the daughter to stop piling on to her Christmas list, I'll give, whatever more I can.

I dont know what you guys did for hasoon bro? Im getting my one x+ wednesday, and i want to get viper rom on it. The dev for the one xl, "the device i currently own", has stated.....to get viper rom on the x+ we need to get the device for one of them. So, i started this thread. For those that dont know.........VIPER ROM is "the most inovative" sense ROM available! tweaks, venom hub, venom file manager, and more! Also OTA updates!
This is why i started this thread. So, for anyone that wants that.......yes, we need to get the device for them.
Thanks

Well, Surflamj posted a donation thread and as soon as he reached the requisite amount of pledged donations Hasoon posted a PayPal link.
I'm very familiar with Venom ROM and always found it very fast and smooth even with the huge number of tweaks available.

Awesome bro!!!!! Hell yea, lets get turge, and viper over here! For those that dont know.......turge is a beast! Thanks nugzo!!!! :thumbup:
RATTLED FROM MY HTC ONE XL USING ICS TAPATALK 2
Turge is spending 200X more time than he needs trying to do simple mods for us already. He's been working on the menu button remap on homescreen and has to wait for someone to test it and run logcats etc. He could have had it fixed in 10 minutes if he had the phone, so far its taken a couple days. This is just a rosie mod. Imagine trying to troubleshoot roms. For the best outcome, the dev must have the phone. Some devs are being kind and building roms without the phone. They are probably playing it a little safe because they cant troubleshoot well without the phone. Its hard to add all the features everyone wants if you cant test them.. Viper and Turge made one helluva team for the ATT OG HOX
I can't let Nugzo feel all alone, beside the fact he's spot on about Viper ROM, put me in for another $50.

I am in with $50.
Damn gotta love these $50+ pledges.. Certainly gets to the end goal faster than the $5 and $10 ones that normally happen.. At the same time BRING those $5 and $10 donations too.. They add up. Money well spent!!
I am in for $25. Viper was my Rom of choice for the One X.
Wow! Thats another 75.00 already! Turge says thanks!

Definitely a bad ass ROM, from the option to get rid of AT&T's stupid 4G icon, to the speed and stability it was hard to beat on the One X.
