Do you think it will help to pool money together to reward an unlocked bootloader?

Thoughts?
I'd certainly donate.

It's an acer thing...i dont think money will help..

should help if we make a list with people that want to donate for the problem might draw a good crowd...

it might help even more to get enough donations together to buy a device to send to a well known developer. usually where the problem lies is that they do npt have money to go and buy another device since they have already invested in other ones. once a really well know developer gets their hands on the device we have is when big things start to happen. you just gotta find one willing to accept the device and hack it.

Yes, it'd be great to have a custom honeycomb rom especially since the source has not and never will be released (until ice cream sandwich, anyway).

I'd be willing to front some clams for the cause...I'd love a good custom ROM. Thats the whole reason I'm keeping my Gtab even though I got my Acer...I like to tinker with stuff and see what happens.

I was thinking about this myself the other day, but I've heard that XDA frowns on this behavior.
I pledge $25 USD to the first dev that unlocks the bootloader.

Yeah, great idea, but which dev would and could do that?

I actually have a slightly damaged but fully functional A500 that I would be willing to borrow out for a few months before I jave to sent it in for the insurance claim. I even posted the offer right up here with rather unenthusiastic replys.
If anyone knows a suitable candidate, my offer stands.

And both of these require users to download and install crap on their phones. The solution still seems to be to only download reputable apps from reputable devs.

Grr Google ...
So that is probably how my twitter account got hacked.
If the mallware can do all that mentioned in the article then I guess it will have no problem reading saved passwords like Gmail and others
Twitter account got hacked a while after starting to use Galaxy Tab, I am thinking the pass from Android was read by some mallware.
A Skype update mentioned a similar thing and asked to update.
If I remember correctly Android was supposed to allow each application to read/write its in its own area in the device, I guess that only applies to the ... "good-ware" applications, the mall-ware can read all the other data.
On the other hand Google can do a great job when it comes to not letting us see/install all applications because we are from some X country.

As Mulder on the X-Files used to say, “Trust No One”. Not even this site. Use your common sense and check the sources. Can you verify the information? Does the information sound balance and reasonable? Where else can you research this before you do something that cannot be fixed? At the end of the day, you are the last barrier of protection for yourself.

I have a 32GB SGS2!!!

Just purchased today in Taiwan.
GT-I9100
2.3.3
I9100XXKG1
2.6.35.7 I9100ZSKG2-CL361136
GINGERBREAD.ZSKG2
I wonder, does anyone want me to upload this ROM soon before I do too much to it, as it may vary from the 16GB model? How can I, here in Taiwan, be the first in the world to get this device???!??!
I will try to post photos and an unboxing with cute Chinese girls.

Woot, never heard about the launch of the 32 GB version. If that's true, it's nice news.

SGS2 with 32G? I'm excited to see the pics...

Its interesting,anyway could you check what kind of audio hub is implemented ? Go to system/etc/asound.conf , in 16 gb version exists Yamaha, unfortunately.

how much did it cost you out of curiosity?

Your the one on glue , that site was up since first SGS2 was released we all knew the possibility of 32GB , later on a blog samsung/or a distributor claimed its not happening. OP also spamming this in two subforums and not providing any proof, so get down from your high horse.
If it is true its all great but, again where are the PICs ?

Ok guys, stop arguing. There may or may not be a 32gb version in existence at the current time. One way to know for sure is to have a screenshot showing that it has 32gb. However, that being said, a lack of a screenshot does not yet mean there isn't a 32gb version. It just simply means there is no evidence to fully substantiate that there is a 32gb version.

If you were to trust Samsung, you should have seen a Tegra 2 GT-I9100, which didn't happen either. So of course people don't believe that only one xda member got a 32 GB phone and he's reluctant in showing us pics

If he says he has one, great.. If he's a liar that's great too.. People do what they do.. he's feeding his ego by posting a falsehood pretty much the same as you are feeding yours by being the savior and pointing out said falsehood.
Realistically neither matter too much in the grand scheme of of things...
Sometimes it is best to follow the old rule.. If you have nothing positive to say, be silent.

im also gonna pimp my phone to be 32gb! 16gb internal and 16gb sd card

I'm often astounded at the vitriol that is slung around here sometimes. To quote Linus Van Pelt (the only one who I actually KNOW, and am willing to acknowledge, said these words), "I bring you tidings of great joy." and you slag me? We're all in this together people. The Palm community would have never gotten so vicious as this thread. People calling me a liar...honestly. I do thank those who had the grace to defend me.
I think those thugs should take a look at my sig. I had smartphones while they were in regular phones. I had one of the first of the first 10,000 run of BB 850's (Google it). That was in the last century kiddies!
I hope I can upload a photo here. I took a long time dealing with Taiwanese people to get this and then was late for work, so had no time to upload pics. Will try to do it now. Some of us have lives. If the pic I'm trying to upload doesn't slake your curiosity tell me what else you'd like me to show.
It was "Made in china by Samsung"
I want to see if someone asks me for/ needs this potentially unique ROM. I haven't attempted root, but have read the howto thread once, so I can't go to system/etc/asound.conf yet. I can't browse there in Win7, but might jam it into my Linuxbox when my son wakes tomorrow as what DAC it is a burning question for me too! I would also like to find out if it's Eynos/Mali. Where could I find that short of a teardown? The telco said it is Exynos/Mali. Please give me explicit instructions as I'm a noob and am allergic to command line
It cost me $NT22490 cash today, which included the next 11 months free service (NT$1049/mo) of the 2yr contract(unlimited 3G/HSPDA, 400 sms, 30mins voice).

To clarify (cause no one has been very clear about it in this thread, to be fair) the generic version of Jellybean for UK, along with virtually all network variants have all been available for weeks.

Pointless posts contribute more garbage to the forum than pointless threads.
It also puts people at risk of getting fired. Remember people, in this modern society, your online profile can quickly get tracked back to you, and some companies don't take kindly to employee's who reflect badly on their place of work.

Hey guys, check out this cool app here-

Note:You'll need to buy a really 'cheap on pocket' device to use it which doubles up as a Dust-Plug.. Or rather I should say, it's actually a Dust Plug that doubles up(or even more)..
I just now ordered it and it costed me only US$ 2.24 including shipping money :laugh:
Waiting eagerly for it to arrive to me..
I'm not posting any links here to the device because I'm not sure as to whether it'll be an infringement of XDA's rules.. :angel:
For those who're worried that it might get lost while using earphones-it has a solution to it too..
Last but not least, it couples up with Tasker.. :victory:
Here's a quick video, the version of app is old here though, but it'll familiarize you with the device and the app itself-

It'll work for Android devices only.. Not sure about the minimum version of Android required though..

I did a quick search and liked the idea but the problem I think would be that in pocket, those 4 buttons could be activated due to its placement on the backside, talking of backside of phone, I use a wallet case for my Note 3 and that wouldn't let me use Dimple.. :laugh:

You know what..
I just now figured out that, the button on the earphone would function like the button on this smart dust plug when one is using the earphone.. :victory:

Battery performance is still fine for me..
I came across Pressy only after I ordered the Smart Dust Plug for myself and realised that the Chinese manufacturers copied this idea too.. :laugh:
Because they weren't required to put in R&D like the Pressy guys did, it costs only a small fraction of it without the need to wait for it to get delivered..
It's sad for the Pressy guys but you just can't stop the Chinese manufacturers..

Could anyone please share the Activation Code of their Pressy, I want to give the related app a try with my Dust Plug. .
