Hello,
Thanks to all your generosity I have reached my target and was able to order the U8800. It should be with me in the next few days. I look forward to working on bringing you CM7.
Thanks,
Jacob

Hello,
You may have seen me posting in the past couple of days about getting a U8800, and trying to help out a little bit. I work on CyanogenMod and maintain the HTC Wildfire and ZTE Blade builds. I'd really love to work on the U8800, but unfortunately, there is not a lot I can do for the U8800 until I get one for myself. I have tried developing for a device without actually owning it before, and it's something I'd rather not go through again.
As such, I plan to purchase a U8800 as soon as I can, but I'm only 17 and my part time job really doesn't pay me much. It could take me 2-3 months before I have enough to buy one.
I was wondering if any of you would be interested in donating towards a device? I hate to ask, but I really want to help you guys out and it's the only way I can see it realistically happening any time soon. I promise that any money which gets sent to my paypal (link in my signature) will be used solely for a U8800, and I promise that I'll get you a properly working CyanogenMod 7 build as soon as I can once I get the device.
Thanks in advance to anybody who is willing to donate,
Jacob

I wouldn't mind tossing 20 € to you, but might be at the end of this month, as then I get paid.
I hope more people help you out !
Can you update here in the post how much you have left to your goal? Would be nice to see. How much does a U8800 cost in GB?
Can donate $10 to you some time next week
A crisp tenner on the way mate, appreciate anything you can do
Come on fellow owners, we've got to raise 173 GBP: http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/mobiles/mobile-phones/HUAWEI-U8800/HANDSET, well 163 now

Awesome, much appreciated
I've added a post on the NZ www.geekzone.co.nz forums too as this phone is a big seller over here so hopefully a few kiwi dollars heading your way
Problem with this is I already donated money on the CM website with a not saying it was for Ideos X5 port
So if you can take funds out of that.... otherwise bit expensive for me to donate twice
Just donated 10GBP.
i'd like to give you ￥100 donation,but i'm chinese,we can't use paypal in our country.do you have another way?
Sweet man. $10 (or more accurately £10) is on its way to you. Can't wait for some CM7 lovin' on this mighty wee phone!!
Will an official U8800 device support page be added to the Cyanogen Mod supported devices page?
I'm surprised to know that you are only 17.
Keep the good work going. Just donate 10 GBP to express my appreciation

I hear you get 150 for your evo so final price is I guess based on how much sprint gives you the phone for on an upgrade.
I feel so sorry for all these devs who are investing in the ****tie 3D but fail to realize when new releases from Sprint comes later in July to September, it'll blow their kiddie spy phone out the water. Plus they just blew their upgrade. . oh well.
Farewell devs, you've been well appreciated.
Stop saying goodbye, just leave.

Why copy and paste this crappy statement in the threads over and over?
Chubbz thanks for all you brought to the EVO and all you will bring to the 3d.
The 3d is far from a crappy phone. I really hope you stop using other devs work with this attitude. Honestly, you can't comprehend the amount of time it takes to develope a ROM you use free... And if a dev wants to say good bye to those who they have become friends with, let them. Certainly don't appreciate or need comments like this around here. What have you contibuted? Thought so.

I'm at my 1 year upgrade but they said is only $75 off the retail price so it will cost my $475 plus I have to sign a 1 year contract. Also I'm on my 4th replacement in a month but they also won't let me switch to another phone since they say none is comparable....i talked to management and fought and fought for an hour and for nothing.....
Also didn't know they did trade-ins either, no one at Sprint offered me that....

Yes devs contribute a lot and we praise each one of them just the same but why do you all have to post a thread each just to wish farewells. I get it may be said out of respect but i dont know. Plus sometimes I feel as if some devs takes advantage from us with their "buy me a beer" attitude. Believe me, I'm all for giving praise where place is due but I can live just fine without rooting or a rom, live moves on.
Anywho, like i said. Farewell

I figure this is a xda forum between friends, and I have enjoyed these threads just for the "human element" they contain. We all appreciate the labor of love that developers put into their roms, and when they feel the desire to say goodbye to their friends, acquaintances, and flash addicts it is good for the community.
IMO, ignoreance is greater than dissidence.

Just got off the phone with my local corporate store:
I'm eligible for the 1-year upgrade discount (currently 1 year into my 2 year contract). So, if I was looking into getting the 3D right now, it'd be 550-150 (Evo trade-in credit) - 75 (1-year upgrade credit) = $325 + Contract renewal for the 3D. Think I'll wait for a drop in price. Either that, or flip the EVO on Craigslist.

I have been here on xda for awhile so I received alot of knowledge from the devs and flashers so I decided to say thanks and move on to bigger and better things. The reason why ppl put a donation or buy me a beer link is because ppl asked for a link it not required.
Thanks all.
thanx Chubbz,thanx Leo,thanx to all the devs.This is what owning an Android phone is all about.These guys push our devices as far as they can go.They give us variety at the cost of their time and money.Its a cycle,waiting for more and better.
Ok, not sure if this is going to be cool with the moderators or not, so if not, lock/delete it. I have an idea...let's encourage the devs to spend a bit more time looking at the EVO Shift...by offering up a cash incentive to the first person or team that gets us properly rooted on Gingerbread. Maybe offer to Paypal them some cash? i know I'd chip in. Heck, right now I'll say I'll paypal $50 to the first person or team that gets me rooted. If everyone chipped in, even a few bucks, it could really add up and create an incentive...

I haven't heard about anyone working on it. I believe they are working on it for other devices.
Throw me down for $50 as well.
So, we've got $100 already...come on...lets offer some incentive for the devs to come back to the EVO Shift for a while...
Im telling you the devices they work on are related to the shift and they can port the same methods. They are already working on the shift and other devices related to it
So, therefore us offering a reward helps not only Shift owners but others too. Fantastic!
count me in! I desperatyl need to get rid of 2.3 because mobilenet doesnt compatible with my metropcs flash! so ill throw 25-50 sumthing in between!
Lol I think our shifts are gunna be left behind cus seems like everyone's focusin on the EVO or EVO 3 d

I remember the same talk regarding rooting 2.2.... everyone saying no one was working on it and then BAM! Root.
The thing is development doesn't get done on XDA. When it's done it gets posted to XDA. Just because you don't see it happening doesn't mean it ain't. Imagine you're a dev: Would you post that you're working on it if you're unsure if you can do it? It'd accomplish nothing but dissapointment.
^ Shift Faced
reward
Last i checked theres a reward offer in the Evo forum also. It was up to 300 i think a couple days ago.
Nice! Hopefully once one is rooted, either one, the other one will be that much easier.
I know it is fustrating to wait I am among the many waiting for the same thing. That being said you never hear what the developers are working on because they dont want to give off any clues to htc as to what they are doing so HTC dont send a silent OTA to seal up any exploits that may gain root for us. But to the team that does get the job dont I will be donating to them definatly I cant wait to get my hotspot back for my Iconia Tablet when I am on the road.
50 to 100
I would throw in 50 to 100 just to get this ****ty rom off my phone and a hooker to tongue there balls.

I saw on Twitter that Fre3vo is supposed to be updated to support the Shift now. So that should mean that at least temp root is possible.

No big deal guys. Just put a few hundred hours of work into the ICS sources and it will probably work on the Legend. Or rather not.
Hey Ali Ba please tell me that you will keep your great work on our device, please tell me yes! You're our only hope.
he won't 10cha
surely we're all near the end of our 24 month contracts anyway aren't we? I'll get a new phone soon and it's not as though ICS will bring us too many advantages that CM can't bring us
I think we will need more mhz guys.. at least 800 ?
Nope, if it run 2.3, it will run 4.0. As google said.
The problem is that HTC don't give our device driver, and as I understand it is a big work to adapt ics without htc driver. Specialy when samsung and sony give everything.
Please Ali Ba tell us you don't give up. :'(

I still don't get why people always think it's sufficient to wave some (most of the times ridiculously low amounts of) money in the air to make everyone dance to their music.
Fact is, you won't be able to afford paying a developer full time. You won't find a good guy that is not trying to rip you off, believe me. And, you won't understand the Open Source community if you continue thinking that you can fix everything with money.

Thank you for you support, but I don't think that this is necessary. I'm not asking anyone for donations, I'm doing it for the fun and I never did it for the money.
In fact the sum of all donations I got from a few much appreciated supporters do not even make up for the price of my Legend (not even half of it). Not that I don't enjoy a beer now and then, but to earn my living I have to do other things.
That was a noble answer form ali baba. I wish all developer think like you and also have HTC Legend so that we get ICS taste on "OLD" Legend.

so guys we have waited for two weeks now... the pledges had just reached 230 USD which is well short of our 300USD target amount...
we are really thankful to all those who showed support/faith in our work and considered donating the device to us by put up the pledges... we dont want users to forcefully pledge/donate... this was a "consideration for donation", so if the user community is not much interested in donating we will cancel our plans to work on this device...
with this i am now closing the thread...

---[ UPDATE ]---
hello guys,
we (Team UtterChaos) would like to know if the user community for this device is interested in donating a device to us for development... Team UtterChaos currently consists of me and my dear friend Napstar and both of us are from Pune, Maharashtra, India...
some of u might know/remember me from the Xperia community or here at the Kindle Fire community, where i was lucky to be involved in brainstorming with some of the great minds at XDA to get custom kernels working on Kindle Fire... also i posted the first overclocked kernel for Kindle Fire even though i dont have device with me
i mostly develop for Xperia devices (x10, ARC, Play, etc...) and personally have a Xperia X10 & Xperia ARC... we recently received Samsung Galaxy SL as a donation from that community to work on that device... i mostly work on kernels and some fun stuff (dualboot, modified recovery, bootmanager, lots of tools, etc)... i also have a HTC Flyer for personal use... if u want to know wht all i have created/done/played with u can check the list of threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1141153
Napstar has a Ideos X6 (Spice MI410), and is currently leading the development for Samsung Galaxy SL... he has developed kernels, recoveries, etc for those device... if u want to know wht all he has created/done/etc, u can check list of his threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?do=finduser&u=4224819&starteronly=1
currently he is busy with touch based recovery...
here is a live demo:
additionally let me make this clear... we want a working device + factory cable (so that we dont brick our development device)... you guys can work out a way to raise funds for this and send us a working device... its priced around 300$ here in India... if someone knows easier or cheaper (BUT SECURE & trusted) way to get it shipped to us here in India (which covers the taxes + customs + Octroi), do let us know...
so what do the users of this community think? do let us know in this thread wht do u guys think...
regards,
DooMLoRD

http://www.ebay.in/itm/Kindle-Fire-...3?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_203&hash=item1c211d44f5
its quoted at: 13490INR (~256USD)
(there is a coupon available which might reduce price by 10USD)
anyone know if that ebay seller is trustworthy?
so that reduces our target amount to ~250USD
we are almost close to target
you know, it may be better just to have someone in the states grab one for you and ship it. Mailing it via USPS priority would be no more than $35 and I cant imagine the duty to be that bad on a $200 item. You can pretty much get those at a gas station out here since everyone and their brother stocks them

anyone know if that ebay seller is trustworthy?
so that reduces our target amount to ~250USD
we are almost close to target

I got mine today from this seller- http://www.ebay.in/itm/Kindle-Fire-...7?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_203&hash=item415fde8089
Although earlier it was available at 12,700 about 10 days back when I applied 500 off coupon and got it for 12,200. Got it in 10 days fully sealed package. Very happy with it.

you know, it may be better just to have someone in the states grab one for you and ship it. Mailing it via USPS priority would be no more than $35 and I cant imagine the duty to be that bad on a $200 item. You can pretty much get those at a gas station out here since everyone and their brother stocks them

He he... Thats there... The issue is at the customs... I don't know what r the policies for importing electronics... I have heard some horror stories abt how stuff gets stuck up at the customs office... So don't want to take risk...

I had been thinking of a smartphone upgrade for sometime.
My friend just made me a very tempting offer of 9000 INR (indian rupees) which translates to around 162 USD to buy my X10
For a battered device with used up battery and wobbly USB, that's a pretty sweet offer and I'm very much tempted to sell it to him.
And that money would definitely help me purchase a new device.
But before i sell it away, I want to ask to the community here, that if you guys want me to keep the X10, you could donate me some money.
[size=+2]DONATIONS COLLECTED TILL NOW : USD $5.00[/size]
If I get anything above 100 USD in total donations, I would drop plans of selling the X10.
So it's upto you guys, what you want me to do.
Btw, even if i sell my X10, I will not totally stop development on X10, but since developing without device is very difficult, i cannot guarantee that projects like AOKP or kCernel or Arc ICS porting will continue or not.
For donations use the button above my display-pic/avatar.
If you are from India and cannot use PAYPAL, you can PM me to get NEFT details

With all respect champ,its up to you,not to us,
the thing here is if you want to continue x10 development or want to go forward and make further development on another device,do what its better for you and your needs,its very kind of you on thinking about us,but in this case,if i was you and really need the money,i will sell it.
again no offense intended here,but its up to you
and trust me,nobody here will blame you,because you quit,you did so much to our x10s.
point taken...
i guess i'm selling it off then next month
and no offence taken at all ...

just what it says on the OP
Well game over!! Thanks for all the hard work. You allowed me a really nice Xperia ics experience. I don't have a credit card or s job at the moment so cannot donate.
Ps: could you try to uncap the frame of your rom first? I know it's hard but if you could I'd be nice.
