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.

I HIGHLY recommend donating to this guy.
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

Sometimes we fall victim to thinking each forum is the same as others. Any person who came from the evo to the photon knows how quickly a bounty thread can turn into us vs them.
us=those for bounty
them= those against bounty
Me I just rather not be involved in such behavior because at the end of the day we are all here for one thing:
CM7

The link isn't working for me either. Once it's working I'll put in $10.

No what was said was give up enough money to buy a couple ppl phones and "they" will try to port it. Very different then chipping in beer money for someone who made something you might use.

I dont think you understand what a bounty is or just looking for something to complain about.... It is paying for something you want before you get it.... I am not asking for anything nor is the atrix team. He stated they would need a phone to properly port and test it for us. We must realize that I went seeking them not them just porting on their own free will.

I appreciate your use of capslock. It would be ironic except it is fitting. Maybe the people working on CM7 will make the official post about CM7. How about that?

A bounty is usually applied AFTER service is complete. You don't see bounty hunters getting paid BEFORE they bring the guy in...
boun·ty /ˈbaʊnti/ Show Spelled[boun-tee] Show IPA
noun, plural -ties.
1. a premium or reward, especially one offered by a government: There was a bounty on his head. Some states offer a bounty for dead coyotes.
Why would we pay him before he does something when someone else could potentially do this before him? Appreciate what you are trying to do and when we get CM7, you'll see my $10.

I would just ask if you guys would look around the site. Most device dev section have a bounty thread for something someone wants and doesnt mind paying for it or paying for the tools the dev needs to start.
This thread was not about giving money to anyone for producing cm7 but helping the atrix team get a photon, so they could port cm7. As I stated before this thread can die since rinehart said he was porting it and had the phone already.
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.

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,

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.

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.

I would like to start this off by saying that I know we some great devs on this device who, I'm sure, will make some awesome ROMs/Kernels and I appreciate everything that every developers puts into any device whether I use it or not! Thank you all!
With that out of the way, I would like to start a donation thread to get JoelZ9614 a Transformer Prime. I have already PMed him to make sure he was willing to do this and he is completely up to it. I would also like to say that he has not asked for anything from anyone. I am doing this because he has done a lot of work for the community and never asked for anything in return. I'm sure there are a lot of people with a TFP who also have an HTC Rezound or an HTC Evo 3D and already know who he is. However, for those of you who don't, check out his work and you will see why I am asking for the community to buy him a TFP.

It's not that he needs the money or the device. I started this because he is another dev that we can add to the TFP and someone who is proven to make quality ROMs. I'll be donating my $15 to him either way. I just thought it would be a nice gesture to show him that the community values devs like him and others enough to help them out a little. I can see why devs are leaving XDA left and right.
These devs do this stuff for FREE and a lot of them never ask for anything in return and there are people who insult them and are completely ungrateful. I don't know how to develop and I know these devices aren't cheap. This is my way of helping them out for helping me keep my device new to me. I have had the same phone since the Evo 3D came out in July and I still get to flash new ROMs every week. I don't get bored with my phone that will be way outdated here very soon! I can't afford to go out and buy phones/tablets every time something new comes out.
EDIT: Guess I should have looked at your join date and post count before going into all that. If you haven't been here before this month and haven't flashed a new ROM or kernel, there is no way you'll understand. It's about appreciation and respect for the devs.

Hell yea man! Thanks for stopping by this thread. I love your ROMs. You were the first to do a lot. I haven't been genuinely impressed with many ROM devs but you and a couple others have really impressed me! We need a dev over here who can not only compile CM9 but keep up with it.
It seems that everyone who has put CM9 out isnt even maintaining it. Hope we get to see what you can do with this beast!
Two things here:
#1 - XDA DOES NOT IN ANY WAY ENDORSE OR ENCOURAGE DONATION/BOUNTY THREADS. YOU DO SO OUT OF YOUR OWN FREE WILL. THESE HAVE BEEN CONSISTENTLY SHOWN TO NOT WORK AND INSTEAD CAUSE ISSUES. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
#2 - THE TROLLING AND ABUSE NEEDS TO STOP NOW. ANYONE ELSE CAUGHT PARTICIPATING IN TROLLING OR ABUSE WILL BE GIVEN A NICE VACATION FROM XDA.

Man, no love for JoelZ huh? That sucks. Would have loved to see what he could have done with this thing. He made some badass ROMs for the 3D, which doesn't even have an ICS leak yet. Could only imagine what he could get done with something that has official ICS.

I don't think all that many people unlocked do to Asus stating all warranty's are void if unlocked....

My point is made by the mod. It's pretty clear. You are free of course to give your money to whomever you please. Exhorting for others to give money is different. Hence the warning.

That's true and it sucks. I hope development doesn't halt on this thing. I would hate to have to sell it. Especially since I love my Prime+Dock.

I think a lot of people (myself included) are waiting for the supposed GPS/WiFi fix that is supposed to start happening near the end of this month. I personally will wait to see the results of RMAs to see if I will send mine in. Can't send it in if the warranty is voided.
I have used Joel's PrimeXL for the Evo and I still use it to duel boot between Honeycomb and ICS. It would rock if we could get him to develop for the TFP.

It's not, Jer is warning that they can lead to problems not that you can't try it.
ok here is a heads up how bounty works .
you dont donate up front you put your name in with the amount and once it reaches the amount needed IF the DEV still wants in at that time well THEN and THEN only everyone pays .
I have seen and heard way too many devs get paid for nothing , while the best of them struggles to get new devices .
Its way to easy to have your friends/fans open bounty for you .
I am not pointing fingers at anyone (I am sorry if you feel the hats fits you ) and I will not entertain any arguments with anyone in this thread
and I vote to sticky this !
Sticky this anyone ?
ok guys i successfully have gotten a few devs devices on the skyrocket thread feel free to look at the threads i started by looking at my thread posts.... Ive created Johnsondr80 one a few months back and he was one of the first i got a device for and he helps the skyrocket community alot.... I propose you guys consolidate donations into one thread just look at what i have done its called a [DONATION ROTATION] thread if u have questions ask as i read rules on the matter and have mastered it... as well it helps if the devs make a chip in so everyone knows the donations go straight to them

The goal is to avoid money going left and right if you recall I was interested in your thread but I stepped back when you asked me to make a chipin page because money gets spread thin .
I believe the only proper way is the same way the t-mobile bounty was made .
Gather up ppl ready to give money then , point it all at ONE dev with a poll if needed . otherwise money goes left and right and you never know who really buys the device .

Yes your way is good , but again one dev at a time is the way to go then if for example it takes too long for a dev and he buys another phone . there is always another one ready .
for example we have braway working BLIND ( cough cough) on our phone waitign for ppl to help him get one since day one , not asking for asingle donation , he s also the source of all the roms here since he made CWM .
but we see money going separate ways for flavored roms .
Where do these "rules" come from? Didn't know you were a mod. Saw you close down a great devs bounty page. Good to know you got scared by competition

Oh and building roms blind don't yield the best result not that yours are bbetter with device.
Holy hell a Dev worth while was getting donated to, its a good thing you were here to let us all know how prissy "some" people are. Pretty pathetic there Dag.

what rules ?
XDA rules ? read them . posting here off topic is breaking one of them btw....
I do not make them nor do I choose which get shut down , if a thread got shut down it s because it wasnt legit according to XDA not according to me .
this thread 's goal right here is so users dont give money left and right . Many users got burned already and in the end the community suffers .
We can all get together and finance great dev for coming here , I ve freely given donations many times already and will do it again .
I do not have a facebook page , I do not ask for users to buy me devices I do not make chipin pages , I own only one device ( the other one is almost 2 yrs old) I do customize the phone for my need and share with the community , some users help me some users donate , some users join me .
Some devs hate me ? sad story .
but what is your point ? if it s OT again please dont bother ./

thx for the compliment but Im not remotely close to being the best dev here on the note .
I can't blame a dev if they wanna leave the T989... phone is great but the forum is drama.
Compare it to skyrocket. Same device almost, completely different attitude. Not daily flame wars from impatient end users
Edit: it would be great to have m&s on the i717 & tdj as well... And think how much more peaceful it would be for them here. Whitehawkx would be great Dan Brutal too. And they would be appreciated instead of maybe being sorry they bought the T989

Im going to go against the horde here and say this. Until you start pumping it useful stuff to our phones how about people not piss off the people who are actually making this device move forward. You want another dev to have this phone go ahead. But don't knock those who are giving what they have done... I bet every tool here that just went against him is using a part of a script compiled by him.... Point your finger in the unclear.... Point your finger in the mirror...

ok i am not up on thos highschool drama going on butt...edit this bro, cant understand a lick
I only pay for results.
What happened to the good old days when devs bought phones instead of begging for handouts? Its one thing for everyone to gather money for the cyanogen or miui team for a port but for another flavor of our existing roms? I'm more interested in donating to a dev that can build an ics kernel.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
I think the point is that we have had some developers working hard already. One of them brought us recovery without even having the phone, and he still doesn't have the phone. Nor has he been given enough in donations to buy this phone.
And now we have a number of developers showing up looking for donations to buy this phone to develop on. It seems to me to be insulting to start throwing money at individuals who haven't done anything yet vs those that have already worked hard.
Then again, everyone has the right to give money to who they want.
I really don't understand why people posting on a forum have to get downright rude because they don't agree with someone.

+1 to this comment.
I Got my Note launch day & soon found a community that in a brief time offered me root, an OC kernal, CWM, and now 3 different ROM's that I didn't ask for or up-front pay for. That established pretty clearly that people here are doing things for others (I would be the one of the others- I have contributed now to several).
I can understand that we bring our own baggage and attitude with us when we (anyone) read(s) these forums. Please, if it sounds like a post is disingenuous, discrediting, slighting, or unflattering to someone, seek clarification before you let your attitude, especially if it's negative, run amok. It isn't necessarily how you perceived it & such vitriolic spewing can be downright poisonous to the community.
You may have a point, and it may be good for all of us to hear it, but the golden rule can't hurt, eh? Civility is an option.
As far as the thread is concerned, I think some planning and caution when it comes to donations to bring others on board is wise, so discussion about that structure is a good thing- this is a ripe field for trolls and scammers. Thanks DAGr8 for trying to set this conversation rolling.
Ummm, I don't quite get xda. Isn't kanging really what android is all about? If ur shutting down Hawks thread then shouldn't u close the rest too?? Arnt all Sense, Touchwiz, Motoblur, etc. Roms technically kangs? Is the spirit of android not open source?
In other news, water is now banned for being wet. To the mod that closed this thread, xHAUSX, r ur roms not kangs? Betcha 1000 bux they all r. U down to take that bet? Didn't think so. U may proceed with my ban if u wish. U can't stop me though, I shall return again and again to defend gr8 devs like Hawk from the peter puffers that call themselves mods on this site.
At the CORE of every DROID is.....like, hardware and stuff. There's little wires and stuff in there too but u get the idea.

All work containing Core Droid was moved off of XDA back in November and continuing to advertise it here is unacceptable. The rules regarding it and the need for GPL compliance are very clear.
If you wish to use them you are free to do so, just please keep it off of XDA.
Oh sh*t, my bad! Totally had no idea.
F'n tard!! You're one of those short bus riders arn't ya?
I am no longer going to donate to xda, ever again. I am also not going to donate to a dev that only posts to xda.
I will ONLY donate via other sites. And, yes, I have donated to several but not via xda links ever again. And I will thank the devs for supporting NON xda sites.
I will never reference xda as a site for information to others again.
This is how I get to vote on the xda Storm Troopers' tactics.

I completely agree but I had to make one last donation to the Mod that closed down Hawks thread, XHausx. It appears that he really is clinically retarted and I'm not comfortable with the fact that I insulted someone with a mental disability who, thru no fault of his own, cannot even recognize when he is being insulted. I feel even worse that I rooted his mother and attempted to unlock her bootloader before discovering it had already been unlocked many many times before. I donated 2 bux to burry the hatchet. Please consider doing the same. I'd like to think I helped eventually finanace a trip to the zoo for him or something.
I would now like to direct my OP to whoever gave a retarted person Mod privileges to begin with. U SUCK!
If I wasn't so PISSED I'd be laughing. Nope, not going to donate to xda'ers. Not a chance. Not even for the zoo. LOL

Although I agree that it's silly to close a thread over two posts, your reaction has made you look like a stereotypical internet 12 year old. You threw in comments about his mother and his mental competence. There are much more mature ways to handle the situation.
