I am sure most of you here know about DoomLord!
He is an experienced developer and has done great works for many previous Xperia Models! Do check his signature in the link below.
We (SXS owners) are all waiting for DoomLord to get an SXS in his hands! But unfortunately its not yet launched in his country. He couldn't wait any more for it and he just bought an 'HTC One X' today!
Link Here!
SXS is a great mobile. And with developers like DoomLord we can expect great things in the mobile. Now we just have to donate some money to him so that he can get an SXS and start development in it. What say buddies?
_______________________________________________________

DoomLord is a very very talented developer, I really hope we could donate the money he need to buy his own SXS!
I also think we all should write to Sony and tell them to donate a phone for him! Just as they have done with other phones to other devs!

Yeah. I read somewhere that Sony had donated some mobiles to CyanogenMod team for development purpose. But I wonder how we can contact Sony!

i already contacted Sony a few weeks back... they said that their device loaning program is not available in India
P.S. regarding donating a device... there is no pressure guys... if the community wants they can, else no big deal...
Yes, I will make a donation...Uh oh, i just did it!

I wouldn't mind donating if Doom actually will continually develop for the S. As he is more interested in the One X (Yea, I read the India thread, because I read all the threads for the S to see whats going on) I am afraid that he would develop more for the One X and leave S more or less in the dark.
So if Doom commits to developing his kernal and such for the S as well, I will be willing. But at this point in time, I am not interested in contributing in buying a phone for someone who may/may not be doing steady (read: things every once in awhile, and making full working, not rushed products) development for the phone.
I'm not saying that I don't trust you Doom, I just don't know you as a person and I'm not one for giving money into a potential hole and not get a result . So I will also wait and see where this thread goes .
Nothing personal, I know you are one of the best developers for sony/SE devices, I'm just a careful person
im sure majority of people here would be happy to donate, if everyone donated like a few dollars im sure it'd be enough
This is very well worth it. We have seen first hand he does not favorite 1 particular device. He spreads his work over all his device's. Someone needs to set up a donation system. As we need doom here with xperia S. There's only so much he can do without the device. He's time spend with kernels for past xperia's is the sort of experience we need. No doubt we will see lots of Rom makers but all roms need kernels so it makes perfect sense.

Is there a way to set up a donation system where the money is pledged but only actually taken when a goal is reached. That way we could all 'donate' but if the goal is never reached, we wouldn't actually be paying.

yes u are right... so we can have something like "pledges", where in users who are willing to donate put up pledges of the amount they are willing to donate... if the final pledges come to target amount only then everyone can start donating...
in my opinion this is a very transparent way where in everyone knows clearly what is going on...
we did this for the Xperia Play and it worked out well... u can ask the whole Xperia Play community for the development support i give...
i am very much interested in Xperia S but stupid Sony has delayed its launch here in India... i had already begun work for custom kernels, everything was nicely setup (kernel sources, patches, git repos) but this weird bootloader issue is annoying, else u guys would have had a working custom kernel 2 weeks back
BUT again i want to remind everyone that this is totally upto the community... i am not forcing anyone to donate, nor am i begging for a device i already develop for the Xperia Arc, Play and just bought the HTC One X so i am already very happy with the devices i have ...
I remember for the X10 there was a sort of pledge thread created when they were trying to crack the bootloader (or was it GB? I cant remember anymore :/)...
I don't remember how it worked out, but I remember there was quite a list compiled, it just takes some monitoring from the starter, but I think even a paypal account was created and monitored, and the transaction codes were monitored and such.
It was a pretty advanced system, because I remember the payments had to even get sent back at some point, but that turned out okay...
I suppose something like that could work, its just gotta get looked into all there needs to be is a target, and someone willing to monitor a thread and/or the paypal account in case the target isnt met. If the target isn't met, it's simply a matter of reversing all the funds.
The paypal account could also be repurposed into other goals (ie: Further developments, etc etc..)

Have seen this done before. But we have to hope that all xperia S owners are truthful and we Have no bad pledges that don't get paid up. What would be nice is a sticky thread name and shame list. Come on people lets show are support.
Our site xperiagamer.com will be putting out some tweets today to help get people's attention. Lets make this happen

thats a great idea...
the thing is here, in India, the Reserve bank has some strange laws because of which ppl cant send money using paypal outside of India... so in case the whole community shows interest i can talk to a few of my friends who stay in UK/USA to see how we can work this out so that incase the funds have to be reversed there wont be an issue...
I know DoomLord from 2 years ago and he is the best Kernels maker and i am ready to donate.
PS don't worry guys he can work on multiple devices at the same time trust me

Bizarre to have such a rule, PayPal isn't fully cooperative and Sony won't lend you a device, thats just....annoying :/
Well let's see where the thread goes this week, and if the support is there, than it won't hurt to give it a try. No doubt we will find a use for the PayPal account after you get the phone, and even for later devices, a general -Xperia Development- account would come in handy.
Let just put down the amount we wish to donate and when it reaches the target, we proceed to donate the $ to him.
I've seen and used the kernel he developed for my previous arc and it's great!
Let get the ball rolling!

Even tho I don't have the device and there is not a recovery yet, I am already working hard on a rom for all of you Fascinate people :] Just check back on this post every so often for the release. I will probably release it when Koush releases his recovery for the Fascinate. Pretty much what this is going to do is de-bloat your phone, fully deodex it and other little things here and there. If you want more roms like this for the Fascinate please donate and buy me one here.
Check back here for updates :]
Very cool! Were your other roms froyo?
I have no problem donating to you. I'm just waiting for a recovery to come along first.

Yeah my other roms were froyo. This wont be froyo yet, I am just going to play around with the system folder for the first 2 releases. Then comes the fun :]
Pretty much a second post of your other "please give me money"... Great that you want to develop a ROM but I am sure I'm not the only one to think you are really just fishing for some money (unlike a lot of other ROM developers who do GREAT work without even asking for a dime)
Isn't the whole "pay me now for work later" something we all learned at a young age never worked out well?
Matt, if you want to do something useful, besides shuffle some icons around and rename system files, come help work out the kernel / source compilation issue(s). Once that's done we'll still have to develop the recovery.
There's no point even discussing custom roms without a custom recovery.
Until then, this is like paying full price for a pre-order for a device that hasn't even been announced.
IMO, this thread should be locked at this point.

Have you even seen his past work? Obviously you haven't, because if you had, you would know Matt is sure to do some great work. It's pretty hard to develop a ROM for a phone he doesn't have though, hence, he's asking for donations.
If you don't have the means to donate that's not a problem - no one is expecting you to of course, but don't give a developer **** because he wants to make this phone better.

I did not mean for this and the other thread to turn into a flame war. I just know that in the android community, a lot of users have been burned by donating to "devs" (chefs) and then the "dev" bails.
The work he has done on the Droid 2 does seem to be good for that phone, and thats what that phone needs. The fascinate though, is a different beast. More power to him if he wants to help. But begging for people to help him buy a phone before we even have a means to install his roms leaves a cheap taste in my mouth.
I want to thank any dev that has interest in developing / cooking up roms for the phone, as people will enjoy their phone more. I just ask that said devs wait for people to finish developing a simple and safe way to install the rom. I released a rom for the fascinate last week that had most of the bloatware removed, but the only way to flash it is by odin, not a preferred / safe way to flash the rom.
Just hold your horses. we will have a recovery soon, and like i said in the other thread, then you can do what you want with your money. But i assure you, we will have a lot in store for the users once that hurdle is passed.
Umm... get donations from the d1 and d2 work that you've already done, buy a Fascinate, create ROMs for that, and THEN (if it's a halfway decent job) people will donate without you even needing to ask them. Why ask people to pay for something that you haven't even done yet but then reassure them it'll happen because of your other work? If what you did with the d1/2 is good then shouldn't you be able to get donations from that? I'm not accusing you of trying to scam people I'm just telling you what seems to make the most sense.
I agree with everyone else why not use the donations from your other devices to get the Fascinate then when you make a rom that is as amazing as you say people will donate and you will come out on top. Yes I have seen your work as I have had several droids and my wife has a droid2. Have you seen Cyanogen's work? Or how about the other cooks? Why should we buy you a phone and not them? I have donated to lots of cooks but never before a product was available and not even a promise of first beta tests or anything, no deadline? Come on, man! Like the other member said would you pay mercedes (we have all seen there work ) money to build a factory on the promise that when it is done being built they will give you a car that may or may not be to your liking. I have to say your other roms werent my taste but they were very good. Having said that I am looking forward to donating once roms are available, nothing personal I have nothing against your screen name which is really all I see it just has to do with my own preference.
On another note I remember when this actually resembled an open source community (i.e. the linux community) I googled your name and every single forum there is something with you asking for donations, I understand you have to call them donations because of the license but lets face it you are selling products. Thats not really what opensource is about.
Sorry for the rant everyone, no hard feelings

Are you serious? I only started asking for donations like a week or two ago and I have been developing roms for a few months.
I'm just excited we're close to seeing some dev work. I wholeheartedly believe in donation as a support system for development. I do not however donate to theory.
I will be throwing some paypal love once I see some good dev work on here.

Matt, Don't take this the wrong way. I do think you're a good and honest developer based on comments i've read on the ROM you've done on Droid. I've been around this forum for a long time and have given my hard earned cash to many worthy developers and others. Donations typically are to support a website, finance a developer for his time, and/or buy hardware needed, etc... This forum has changed a bit in the last decade and some here may not understand how this all works. We do this as either an investment or a reward. Reputation is everything though. And that is why some here are hammering you.
Since you're new to us, if you don't mind, introduce yourself, tell us your skillsets, tell us what you bring to the table? Alot of us are tech heads and would appreciate that.
This website changed once Android became popular. The WinMo community was smaller and calmer. Android has blown everything up.

eh, i remember a lot of drama going on in the CDMA forums all the time. We had chefs that would rip off of other chefs and claim it as their own just to get more donations / money for their "work"
I have never asked for donations, as the work i do is to better my own phone so why not help everyone else? I just started posting a link to make a donation to world vision in my new posts, because if people are willing to donate, why not have them donate to a great cause?

The good ol pocket PC days. Trying to make WinMo 5 act like a reasonable touchscreen interface. I remember using the kitchens to experiment and make my own custom ROM's. We all made windows CE registry tweaks to do all kinds of things. Windows was easier to program for. I had many custom programs that i openly shared directly with users (M$ didn't like us sharing). I hope Android users get that this is simply a labor of love for us hobbyists. If i wanted a phone i wouldn't customize much but had a lot of features, i'd stay with the iPhone. I've been playing with APPDeveloper to get my feet wet, and soon will have some custom programs myself once i get off it and transfer to eclipse coding.

Matt..
How much will it take for you to get a phone to use for development? now that we have a recovery available......
Yes, I know there is already a post where people promise to reward devs for porting Froyo on X10. Unfortunately, the person who created it doesn't track how much money people pledged anymore (he stopped at $1000 and now we're close to $4000 in donations).
This post is an idea and statement on the situation and feelings of many (I would dare to say most) Xperia X10 users have.
In short: SE f...ed us and we, users can't do anything about it. The company is in the deep mess and can't decide if update for a few days before release. They just probably won't update X10 and that's it. We bought expensive hardware, we signed long contracts. For those living in countries where operators embrace Android it's only question of money to cancel your contracts and buy a new phone. For people living in some places there is really no hope because carriers don't carry/support anything else (Android is not really embraced by carriers outside of the US).
So, what's with $10.000?
Well, look at every single forum and all comments from people. The rage is enormous, people are really desperate.
At this point it's really obvious that anybody who ports stock Froyo on Xperia X10 can ask for any reward and people will donate the money. There is enough of us just on this forum to gather probably a round $10.000 or more. If you could port Froyo before SE releases 2.1 and show us prove of everything running fine I would guess it wouldn't take the community more than few days to hit $10.000 in donations.
We appreciate all effort by the devs who are working on it without thinking of the reward. Yet, devs are people too and should get paid for accomplishing what SE can't or is not willing to do.
Lastly, as we all lost all respect for the SE you will gain a respect and recognition among all of us that would live forever in hearts and minds of us, poor Xperia users.
Help by spreading it!
LOL @ $10.000?
i think its $10000
Depends what country you are in, most european countries use decimals instead of commas and vice versa.
eg 1,500.55 vs 1.500,55
Back on topic, £20 from me
So far its:
2066$
30 +20 £
50 €
We are far from 4000.It would be great but not yet.
it would be best to keep donating in the original thread.
I think that the only way money will help, is if we are able to get an open bootloader, and a way to flash it easily, without extra hardware - probably from a current/previous SE programmer, or someone similar.
Devs probably won't buy the phone (X10, x10 mini or pro) unless they like it.
Also an SE programmer is likely to be able to access all of the x10 bootloaders if they can get to at least one.
the approach is wrong dude ... for $10.000 we should be able to bribe some se coder in giving us the infos/software we need ... just a thought ...

Won't work, not in a way we could use dontions anyway. The bootloader is locked becuse of DRM and other legal reasons and I seriously doubt anyone with the stuff we need would risk breaking the NDA they had to sign to work on it. The lawsuit they'd be slapped with would be massive and even a hundred times what we're able to pledge wouldn't be able to sort that out.
Money is tracable, especially online donations. Something like a wikileaks submission could work, anonymously providing the docs but then who would get the cash?

Hi,
I purchased the TG01 in February and I have lost my temper with it because it's so horrible, but I know there are a few developers out there looking for a real device to work with, so I thought I'd sell it.
I'm looking for anything over £65, It's in good working order with a few scratches on the screen and it's generally in OK condition, but the speaker is quite quiet.
If you're interested please reply to this thread.
Thanks
PS, I will consider swapping phones if you want

Hold that thought, we might be able to buy it from you for the Android project if we can raise the money. £65 shouldnt be too difficult to raise!
Please dont sell it before speaking to us about it.

.. is there an Android TG-01 developer fund - I'll contribute if you're able to buy a cheap TG-01
i'll contribuite too..
I have posted in the Android discussion thread and Alex has kindly offered to hold the donations:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=672234&page=25
decide between yourselves if you will and start a donations thread and get the money rolling. Someone needs to pm tjcooper17 to ask him if hes still got it and whether he's happy to wait until the money is raised.
I'll ask dzo (or any developer users recommend with a track record for Android development) once we have confirmation that the purchase is going to happen.
Best of luck
tjcooper17 can you post some pics of the device since you say it has some scratches and also what comes with the phone, is the box, charger and everything with it and lastly is it sim locked to orange or unlocked?
Hi guys,
I'm in Shaftesbury, Dorset. The device is locked to Orange, I'll post some pictures in just a minute and I'll send it with everything I got in the box:

I think he wants to show us the phone.
Well, I believe him anyways
@tjcooper17:
What about making the pictures smaller?
Than you could place them here at xda as an attachment on your next post.
Sorry to butt in on this thread! We have a donation thread for TG01 Android development :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=804051
.. and a direct link to PayPal :
https://www.paypal.com/uk/cgi-bin/w...63663d3faee8dc60d77e6184470d51976060a4ab6ee74
.. so far, £15 has been donated
Regards,
Alex.
OK I've compressed them quite a bit, didn't realise how big they were.
thanks for the pics.
The thread for the donations has been closed down by mods.. I'll pm the mod on how we can do this without collecting money on here. The only other way I can think of is if enough people pledge to put money towards the phone, then we donate to you directly.
Leave it with me.

"the best thing to do is pledge a certain amount and keep a list
then when you have the funds needed then start gathering the pledges amending the list saying who has followed through"

It appears that the word donations is contentious.
So if we want to do this, the best thing is everyone PLEDGES what they are willing to put towards a device on this thread, once we have enough money and a developer who wants to help, we can pay tjcooper17 someway and get him to send the device to the developer.
Sorry about the mess, I guess these things are there to protect xda users from fraudulent transactions so its probably wise not to ignore them.
On that note, I will say if anyone has any suggestions how this can be done without hickups, please feel free to put your ideas forwards.
Lastly, Endrix is the lead developer here, I have been asked why I am not accepting the device myself, it is simply because I do not possess the reverse engineering skills to take this project forward and neither do I have the time to learn to do so.
I am quite happy to help out where I can and look forward to purchasing a tg01 if android is successfully ported to it which I look forward to being a part of.
For thoughs who doubt it it brings me fourth to say good luck but I can see so many wonderfulll Roms and Mods lmao roll my eyes LOL.

We are accepting donations for team rud. Team Rud is a newer development team made of 4great devs. We currently are working on all sorts of things for the xperia. We have almost been able to complete a rom with overclocking. If you are intrested in helping us with donations or also testing please send a pm. Donation link below.. We are very close to a release everyone will be sure to love. It's hard to develop for a phone we do not have. Also we will be trying to develop a Ps network tool app that will allow your phone to interact with friends online this is a big challenge but not impossible. The ps3 software can be mocked. Thanks For The Help.

I do doubt you. If that urks you, prove me wrong. Post some screens, videos, etc. For now, I'm calling you a fake and you can "stop" "work" if you want. We have enough good and dedicated developers. If you are truly a developer and not a faker, we don't need anyone who asks for money before showing any work. If we like your work, we will donate, not the other way around.
So, first we hand out the cash, and then we see the "goods"? That's not how it works, sorry. Show us what you can do, like yifanlu has done with his PSXperia project, and then you can ask for donations.

I agree with Yifanlu. Dont try scamming us with your current 16 post count. what 4 great devs are you referring to? explain better and maybe you wont get shot down.
You should have seen what they did to the so called Sony Ericsson Rep we had in here.
They tore him to pieces.

Obviously Yifanlu stole PSXPERIA from you master coders who managed to emulate the cell processor within the Xperia Play..... COOL STORY BRO.

Like I said, if the guy gives ANY proof, I will gladly admit that I was wrong and apologize (after all, we are all civil here). However, for example, some random guy you never seen before knocks at your door and asks for money in exchange for something amazing in the future, you'd think he's crazy. I'm judging a book by it's cover here, but that's not always wrong. Again, I still don't believe in this guy, but if he proves me wrong, I will gladly and publicly apologize.
And some advice to op. If you want to insult me, please try (try) to use proper english. That way we can have an argument or debate like a couple of adults and not scream at each other like children. Don't say it's not your first language or you don't know it well (I understand those people), because I know. I don't care how you write otherwise, but keep that in mind when you want to argue with me.

in order to discourage development, development has to exist in the first place. What we have seen from this guy is not development, it's bad spelling, baseless accusations and mockery to other users. I'm all for discouraging those things.
Hi, I would like to set up a collection for Eschelon so he could start developing roms for the note 2. If anyone could help it would be appreciated.

Man not to be a party pooper, but no one should be donating for promised work, especially when a device is as of yet publicly rooted.
I'm not sure if you ever dealt with synergy roms, but the guy does fantastic work. I also understand your reservations, but given the XDA community nothing is impossible.

Try actually reading next time. Someone asked Eschelon if he was getting a Note 2. He responded with "no" but non-nonchalantly stated he'd be happy to dev if he ever got his hands on one, but he didn't anticipate it. That's it. He didn't make any false promises or even solicit this thread (I doubt if he even knows it exists).
And another thing: Why do you and your buddy Adrynalyne (who always seems to be sparring with some other dev team on a daily basis) always go after the Synergy guys? There's also a Beans donation thread here in the Note 2 section. Did you make a similar comment in that thread too? And Beans actually encouraged a donation thread, Eschelon didn't.
And yet here you are. Hypocrite.
Just because you've contributed to this community in the past does not give you authority to troll threads of devs you don't like while simultaneously giving others a pass.

Excuse me? You are totally off base and utterly clueless on all of this.
I've never made a negative comment against synergy nor Eschelon, I don't even know who synergy nor Eschelon are. I am not a rom dev, nor rom user. I don't follow the rom scene dramas. My comments were for the person that started the thread, and still stand. It was not a troll thread.
Adryanline is just another developer, we have had many words before. We have not, and doubtfully ever would team up on anything. I do hold him in great respect because if his honesty and abilities.
I'm a hypocrite for what, I called out three threads for the same issue. I have never supported donation before work done. So you not know what the definition of hypocrite is?
Hell I've bought other devs phones with donations from my work.
People like you burning bridges are why some promising devices don't get support from many very capable developers.
I'm going to bring up the donation before producing a product issue in the ERD forum. Thanks for providing the push to do so

All I can say is wow. My only reason for creating this was for a great developer to get a chance to work on the note 2. If I had realized it would cause this much animosity I would have never started this thread.
I apologize, and I'll do what I can on my own to get him the note 2 . I have no idea how he finds time between his work and his family life to devote time to develope, but the selfish me is glad he does. I just want to reward him for his hard work and dedication.
It may take me a month or 2 , but I'll get that phone in his hands.

Seriously, you are lost and comments about bean don't even make sense, hr was the first I commented join regards to this.
I dont know Virus nor of his work, but Ziggy I and I had words, nothing to do with anything but his policy on ignoring the GPL. I do believe his work wasn't even allowed here for a while because of that.
How the heck am I suppose to track what groups a random Dev is working with at any given time.

This is no way to run a contribution thread to buy a device for a developer - plus you have to have permission from the developer to even start a donation thread.
