Simple Question. Would you donate $10 or so to fund the purchase of an Epic for a willing Dev? As far as I know it's feasible (Correct me if I'm wrong), we just need someone with a Epic who knows how and wants to do it.
Anyway, the objective here is to create a list of people willing to donate. We'll see if it's enough to interest someone.
So who's in?
Committed:
ipaq3115 - $10
sporkisfaster - $10+
Bohiti - $10
Neptune5k - $5-10
mttallaczach $20
sauron0101
mxcoldhit
spongaweb $15
viper134 $5
If the big guy does it himself
Pito2k6 $100
Note: I'm thinking, find a trusted dev (preferably from the CM team) and once they've committed, send mulah through paypal
Clarification: The idea is donate enough that someone from the CM team can buy an Epic and work on it.
I'm willing to donate $10 or more depending on other people's willingness.
What's so great about cynogenmod? Please don't bash me, I just don't know what's good about it.

Mainly that it uses the AOSP stuff. Much more of a vanilla feel to it with a lot more integral features than current roms can offer because of the current code available (or lack thereof).
Not really no. I'm very happy with the TouchWiz interface and I need my 4G radio working.

It definitely couldn't hurt. Try to be positive, it seems like we're at a low point in morale here on the boards and development. Maybe this is what we need to get it going again.
I would be willing to donate to the dev that gets this out. Hopefully noob will work on it again.

Step 1. Send money
Step 2. Wait
Step 3. See another dev do it for free before you ever see a single return from you vapor donation.

I would donate $10 to Cyanogen himself. Anyone else, and I (at this time!) can't be sure of their devotion.
I know we'll be sacrificing 4G, but I live in an area that won't have it for quite some time.
I would donate directly to the guy himself, if he posted himself saying he's going to take charge and actually do it.
- Its just going to be Epic!

Yeah, mainly cause CyanogenMod is legendary
But really, it's like pure android like what the nexus phones have. No carrier bloat. Since the days of the G1 it's been the fastest. The little things he adds just make it that much more awesome.

Yeah, same thing. Find someone trusted, not just anybody.
I wouldn't expect anything back from the dev. Other than the promise to get an Epic and attempt it. It is a donation, not like paying someone for the service.
Sent from my superphone using the XDA App
I would donate $100 if Cyanogen himself says he will develop for our Epic.
I would pay $10 if we knew that it would definitely lead to cyanogen mod. Who knows if we will ever get gingerbread on this phone, much less honeycomb.
I belive the best way to get vanilla android on your phone is just to wait a little longer. The Nexus S has practically the same specs as the epic plus there is even a rumored CDMA device coming. I don't think we are very far from Vanilla Gingerbread Phone.
As far as Cyanogen is concerned, no I'm not interested in donating to buy him an Epic.
I would be willing to contribute $5-10 as well.
Whoops, wrong button. Silly xda app
I think sommthing big is coming. It's been a week since anything big even roms! Im confident in this community and yesterday there was an unlocked boitloader topic that was removes because it gave to.much info. How often does that happen. I didn't get t read through all of it because once I was done with page one it said it no longer existed. Im super excited let's rejoice

This is weird.. -_-
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
One of the reasons it has been quite is because there is an update soon. Kind of pointless to make a rom (or new version of an existing one), and have to redo it again to make it work with the new update.
Also that topic was deleted because the op was posting an IM convo that the developer didn't want being made public. It didn't really prove anything conclusive.
It also doesn't help that devs have to make a bunch of worthless posts like this one so we can reply our post in the dev area.
I have info for 2 different threads in there, but since I'm too new, I can't respond. Eventually, I'll get the minimum junk post quota done, and can tell them what the nvflash method described will and will not do. Till then, I'll just keep playing around silently...
Your right but even after the Op deleted the convo the whole.thread was removed. Im just saying a hint of optimistic outlooking

There is nothing wrong with optimism, I agree; however, until there is an actual way we have to be careful because they don't want moto finding out and then quickly fixing it.
The real risk is moto blocking methods we use to gain root, or to back flash to an older SBF...

drock212 is correct, the devs are hating the dev subforum at the moment because of all the useless posts and information. If you jump on IRC and STAY QUIET UNLESS YOU HAVE SOMETHING USEFUL TO SAY you learn a lot about whats going on, as well as learn some new things about how your phone works. That's what I've been doing for the past few weeks and it's helped a lot.

Seems like lately the policing of the forums has gotten out of hand. I appreciate keeping reposts and wrong thread placement down to a minimum, but I feel like some of these over aggressive moderators are stifling the community. Information seems more difficult to obtain and group discussion seems to have slowed way down. I understand its difficult to keep so much info streamlined and well organized so my hats off to em, but damn, relax yo!
They love awareness threads.

Yeah it's always a good idea to take roms from the NS and NS4G section and mix them back into the same one again. Great move.

Agreed we need to overthrow the current establishment and get mods who are actually part of the community and conversations and don't just come out the woodwork to ***** and close threads and be on an all around power trip.

Yes Mr. AllGamer, we're talking about you. Specifically about your senseless actions with some of the development threads enforcing imaginary rules which oddly were not broken nevertheless.

If you feel that any mods have stepped out of line or done something wrong, feel free to send me (or any other Moderator Committee member) a PM with the details.
No need to start threads like these.
A a$$ hole was out of line not giving task respect and the camera posts I don't blame him. They do this for free give them a break. I donate cause I can't do it my self. Just hoping the mods can do something to fix this. Come back task!!! On you terms

I know how it is, something is wrong with our phone and it's the most important thing to us and just have to have it fixed right then and there.....not a good feeling but the devs don't owe us anything! They are doing what they do cause they like doing it and we are taking a chance everytime we flash something, it's a known risk, guys just need to learn to be patient and stop being so demanding cause last time I checked, no devs charge us for the work they provide for us
Hey guys, long time reader although never really posted much. Over the next few days I'll be getting my new phone in the mail and begin setting that up. I wondered what to do with this phone that has been made great thanks to the devs here. So I'd like to donate it to one of those devs who has put in a lot of hard work for the good of this community. I remember reading a while back that some of them only have photons and just change some code around. I figured it might help everyone out by donating to one of those guys. It's the least I can do considering I've been using ICS and JB since they came out thanks to everyone here, not Motorola lol. If anyone could suggest a dev or if one of you see this yourself just send me a pm. It might be a week or two but the phone is in great shape still! Thanks guys again for all the great work. Oh last thing, I'd prefer that you be in the US if possible just so the shipping isn't outrageous. Thanks!

I would recommend Th3Bill. He makes a bunch of ROMs for this community and doesn't even own an Atrix.
OK, I knew when I wrote that it was either him or joker that didn't have an Atrix. Thanks, I'll send him a pm.
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
I was planning on doing the same thing with my Atrix once I get a Nexus 4. I actually live in the same city as Th3Bill.
Don't forget mmontuori. I was actually thinking of donating my second atrix to him since I'm in a skyrocket, but I believe he's outside the us? Please someone correct me if I'm wrong. Us people who want to donate should definitely get together so we make sure all the awesome developers have an atrix to work with!

Joker doesn't have one either.
Don't forget epinter. He already has an Atrix but I'm sure he could do a lot more of his "magic" with a second one, specially if this one has a different tegrapart.
The only problem: epinter is from Brazil, but I'm not sure where he lives.
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
Let's also not forget mmontuori, he also has one already but now he's working on a new experimental ROM which he said is becoming increasingly more difficult since he needs his phone for normal everyday stuff too...
But anyway, I agree Th3Bill is probably the best candidate. Joker would be a good one too if he was still active, and to my knowledge all other devs have at least one already. Hmmm... maybe faux123 too? Dunno if he has one or is he even still interested in working for the Atrix...
May vote goes to mmontuori. He kindly ask for second Atrix

I'm giving my vote to Th3bill guys, he has like 5 ROMS for the Atrix, and he doesnt even have one! Major well done to him!
I know that Th3bill is good guy but with mvniekerk we may have a new kernel. Without new kernel, no one could make stable ICS/JB with hwa.

Everyone, try to think about who is the most deserving and what makes the most sense. Not what serves your own interests.
Shipping a used device to South Africa for mvniekirk doesn't make much sense. Shipping would probably cost more than the device is worth. You don't pay shipping on PayPal donations, so support him that way.
Joker is AWOL and has been for months. He is certainly worthy of the donation, but might not even use it.
So it really comes down to Th3Bill or mmontuori (since he requested one and is certainly worthy).
Either way, thanks peej8991 for being so generous.
