Hey guys,
I just received my invite to Google glass developers. I would love to purchase a set for development, however do not have the funds to do so.
I figured that it would be worth asking if there are enough people on XDA needing developers to be willing to donate to the purchase of my pair? These would be strictly used for development and testing of other dev's work, and would probably be donated at the end.
If this is not possible, then I would probably be willing to sell the code do an xda Dev.
Please let me know

Sell the code to a dev that you got for free? Ya, that helps dev for Google Glass. You also only have 7 days to purchase.

They wouldn't end up being donated in the end, because once you use them, you can't go back to not using them.
srsly

Are there beta testers for devices or android systems?
If not I am not sure why pc apps use beta testing and not android
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I'll be more than happy to try out any alpha & beta releases of any Android products
just being able to play with the latest and greatest is more than enough joy for me
Moved to General forum. The development forum is only for development threads. (Threads with actual development happening.)
Questions should always be in the General forums (or Q&A if your device has a Q&A forum.)
I would be very interested in testing for free devices
Add me to the list.
I'd love to do some beta testing!!!

alpha testing Android 3.0 is also ok

Seriously? Please? I think this thread needs a pretty epic dose of it.
It would be great if there was an employee of Samsung / HTC / other phone manufacturers as a contact point between the dev community and the manufacturers themselves.
Eg: to look through forums such as this, see what everyone's saying, keep us posted on news and dates and seek honest feedback from us.
The only people who look through XDA are those interested in modding and installing custom firmwares anyway, so regular consumers would gain the benefit of us testing the stuff out without them having to be aware of it.
Plus, one of the deciding factors of many enthusiasts when buying a new Android phone is the dev community and support, so you can guarantee they would gain at least a few more sales from those interested.

That will make them way too vurnerable and the benefits will never justify the costs. The game they play is how to make as much as profit as one can. From that perspective things are good if and only if the sales figures are good. So, for them, sales figures are all the feedback they need
If they did do such a scheme, it would be in Korea.
There are users on ebay selling android instructions for 20 or so dollars and people are buying interestingly enough.
It is annoying seeing that the developers who are working so hard to make android a reality for the HD2 and scumbags who are selling that information for money instead of notifying users to donate to the original developers.
CAN ALL XDA MEMBERS REPORT THESE FRAUDULENT EBAY AUCTIONS!!!!!!!!!!

Hi guys, long time no see. Straight to the point. A few months back I promise upndwn4par I would sent him my Atrix 4G for him to use as his main development device. Like the busy dummy I am, the device end up in my trunk only to be found in the past few days while I cleaned my car for the first time in months (don't judge me, I'm busy). As soon as I found the device I contacted par to find out if he still want it, he then fill me in on his transition to sg3 and formulated 2 great ideas.
1. Sell the device to fund Atrix Reboot Project (This could bring in a good 6 or 7 months of hosting. That's about 80$-90$) or;
2. Donate the device to an Active Developer.
I'm happy with either option, so I am here to let you decide. upndwn4par put in a good word for mmtouri and the team working on the 3.1 kernel, but I would love to see some suggestions and/or other ideas if you got it.
I will do this in 2 waves.
The next 48 hours (I will start counting the 48 hours at noon[12:00AM/EST], march 7) the vote will be to either donate or sell. If you vote to donate, please post who you think it should be donated too, and make mentions of their contributions.
If the sell option is selected, there won't be a wave 2. Now if donation is selected.
I will simply open up a poll and add in the 5 most mention developers. This poll will be open for 48 hours too.
In the rare situation that everyone simply mentions the same developer, I will skip all the poopoo and donate the phone without a wave 2.
If no more than 2 developers are mention, I'll flip a coin on G+ Hangout.
Rules to participate:
1. Absolutely no flaming. This is not a competition, this is an exercise in community resource redistribution. We are trying to help, not to fight!
2. Keep the conversation on point.
3. Developers can request a donation and it also must include mentions of contributions.
4. This is not a sale. I am not selling this device to anyone. If the sale option is selected, I will personally take care of selling the device in my own time. If you so happen to be interested and the sale option is selected PM. Do not post asking or offering a price. Sales of devices in XDA is not permitted. ONCE AGAIN, I AM NOT SELLING THIS HERE OR TO YOU
@ LAST: Rock/Paper/Scissors over G+ Hangout <--- Another Fun Simple Option.
Donate to the Atrix 4G ICS/JB/KLP Kernel project.
What, not rock/paper/scissors/lizard/spock?
I vote to donate the device to either mmontuori or krystianp, ie. The Kernel Team. I'm thinking Krystian might need it more since he's the one playing with JTAGs and stuff more, but he's outside US so it might be easier shipping it to Michael instead. Or maybe to some other team member (yeah, the team has grown...). In any case, they will know, so contact them first.
Most generous dev ever!
Re: [Off Topic] [3/7/13] Device for Donation or Sale YOU Decide!!! R/P/S
I think you should give it to a dev
Thanks for being so generous
Re: [Off Topic] [3/7/13] Device for Donation or Sale YOU Decide!!! R/P/S
I could use an atrix for testing purposes, currently dev of CyanMobile for photon and atrix.
Re: [Off Topic] [3/7/13] Device for Donation or Sale YOU Decide!!! R/P/S
Donate to KT
Re: [Off Topic] [3/7/13] Device for Donation or Sale YOU Decide!!! R/P/S
Donate to Faux? Maybe he can help on kernel port....Or to quarxs from defys forum...he is a good for defys users.
I contacts faux to ask for kernel help....but had no responce....I think include Quarx to the kernel team would be awesome...but of course I dont know if he want..

i recommend to give it to another elite recognize developer, that can help with the kernels and roms then we could have more people to work on kernels and roms stuff, imagine a gokan moral or stratosk or franco or mathkid95 or codeworx if one of those guys join the kernel team or teammate with epinter and mmontuori this could be sick and extend the development even more
I think we can all agree that overwhelmingly everyone who replied chose the kernel team. If no one disagrees, I'm going to skip wave 2 and say, I will donate the device to the kernel team. I will wait until Tomorrow night @ 12:00 am and if no one disagrees, it is done! By the way I updated OP with pictures of the full kit, custom painted atrix 4g, charger to go with it, 8gb sd card.
Man.. you're awesome I also think you should donate your device to the kernel devs! )
Sent from my ULTIMATE atrix 4G
The device will go to the Kernel team. I will try and contact you guys ASAP.
lol, so i totally don't know who is all on team kernel. so if you guys could alert them of this and have them contact me i really appreciate it. thanks in advance

I have an unused one. PM me if you want it,
I have a similar post up and it's had 83 views and not one person sent me a PM. I'm not even asking them to do anything crazy or taxing. A simple PM will result in a code and these lazy people aren't even going to do that. I don't want just anyone to grab the code and use it. I want a developer to grab it and use it to create new content for this awesome device. Is that too much to ask for? More so, I don't want some clown to take the code and then try to sell it on Ebay or CL.
I'm just trying to keep things honest and beneficial to the XDA community. Understand though, I already have a Moto X and I won't use this code. If it disintegrates at midnight I couldn't care less. I'm just wanting to help push this Moto X community forward. You can think whatever you want but I'm not concerned.
I got this for my wife who changed her mind at the last minute this morning and I'm trying to be nice and give it away. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

Not everyone is a dev on XDA, my friend as though that we be wonderful if it were true, it isnt. Likelihood is, any dev who wanted one KNEW they wanted one, and thus have already acquired a code and arent looking for one with 8 hours left till the deadline. please. Dont let the code disintegrate. Let some poor soul who is still unfortunately looking, get it. No one is going to attempt to buy/sell these codes with such a tiny time frame left. Would you?

Dude, I get what you're saying and I definitely don't think that everyone on XDA is a developer. That's not the point that I was making at all. I want to give the code away and all I was asking was for someone to PM me for it. I know that there are people who want to develop for the Moto X and would consider buying one at this discounted price to be able to do that. Obviously I'm not planning on selling it or I would've instantly have done that. It drives me crazy that people are even doing that in the first place.
Two Promo Codes Expiring midnight (EST) tonight
I have two Moto-X $150 Promo Codes, which I am ready to share whoever sends me the PM first. One Code per Member. I would request to please ask for the Code, only if you are 100% sure you are going to buy the Moto-X today.

I'm blown away that we have codes available for people to use and no one is contacting us to snag one. SMH. Just a couple of days ago people were foaming at the mouth to get a promo code.

Aww man. I just saw this. I registered here just to comment that I wanted one (and I don't have any plans of selling it, mind you. I don't have a Moto X). Oh well. Now that I have an account here (instead of being a "guest" when viewing posts), might as well join in on this.
Hello.... I'm starting this thread to set up a bounty for a working device tree.. For the sprint note 4..I am lacking in time to create one myself but have all the experience and ability to use it... So figured I'd offer a bounty to anyone willing to create us a working device tree to use to build Roms from source.... What I'm wanting is a tree that I can build cm and aosp based Roms from.... I'm not asking for Roms I'm asking for a tree that works that I can use to build the Roms myself as well as others.....
If interested in chipping in please list the amount and I'll add your name to the list..... Please Only people who are actually going to donate when/if the time comes ..
Thanks
Bounty:
spleef : $75
Herk718 : $20
Total: $95
@Herk718 $20
I understand the intention here, but I've always found that bounties immediately move work into closed repos, discourages collaboration, and raises questions about who gets the $ if for example, someone gets it 99% there but someone else jumps in for the last step. Will the bounty be split among all collaborators? Will you award the authors of any device repo you fork from? (It's turtles all the way down)
If you want development in the open and people helping each other to get your goal, consider not having a bounty as it's almost never the primary motivator for this kind of work... And often works against what you want. I can tell you personally... My experience with the nook tablet and bounties from a company that wanted to sell the port was pathetic. People were constantly hitting me up on irc and in PM for help, and stealing each others work, and making tiny changes to claim the bounty. Go back and read the forums for acclaim...
Or, look up what happened with the HP Touchpad, which is even more egregious... That fiasco made it to the blogosphere... But the code was flat out stolen and the irc logs pretty jaw dropping.
This is a MUCH smaller project, but still...

@fattire
I do understand where you are coming from...these bounties most always end badly where someone does exactly as you described but let me try to ease some of your doubts....
What I'm looking for is for a person or team to step forward... Then after a discussion with them I'll add their name to the op as being the person doing the task.... Now no matter who else jumps in or steals code the money will only go to the person or team that I've talked with and is listed in the op..... So far as money split.... I would... during our discussion prior to having someone accept the task... And listing them as accepting the project talk this over and have it all mapped out as who gets what. What I'm expecting... What they're expecting.. The whole nines... Now these type of situations have a tendency of folks saying I'll donate then don't... If that were to be the case I'll donate the full amount myself... To address the closed repo.... I have a github account and have had one for years as well as being an XDA member for ages.... With a very good reputation.... My account on github is open and always will be... The idea here is to have a source for the public not just me...I have no intention on making anything private or closed source...... My only intentions are too get a device tree that we can use to build cm and aosp based roms from source... The idea of the bounty is solely to draw attention and offer a incentive to someone who is interested, willing, and able to provide us with the tree... I hope I've cleared up at least a little of your worries/doubts....And to be perfectly honest ...I hope that you and slayher accept the task... If you need to further discuss anything please feel free to contact me...I have several ways of doing so listed in my profile but I'll go ahead and list my hangouts info... [email protected]
