Hello to Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 owners.
I am starting this thread to see who is interested in a Hyperdrive ROM.
If you are not familiar, it is a ROM developed by sbreen94 on predominantly Samsung Galaxy devices. Probably one of the best and most popular ROMs out there. Check a few of the Galaxy development threads and you will understand.

Sbreen has been developing for Samsung Galaxy Tablets for a while, but he does not use (or own) a 12.2. However, he said if we can put a Note 12.2 in his hands he would be more than willing to create the ROM. The model that I would look for is the Wifi version (900).
Is there any interest in this? I believe I can find a used tablet for around $350.
At this point I am just wondering if there are any folks who would like to contribute toward the cost of a tablet for the developer. If not, so be it. But if we can come close to that $350 mark, then I'll start looking.
Thanks,
B Nabour
I'm in. Put me down for $40.
Can get a good refurbished P905 for about 380usd..I will also donate
Hyperdrive would be awesome on my tablet. I love it on my note 3.

No pressure, but no donations, no Hyperdrive
About Hyperdrive ROM for the Note Pro 12.2
Sbreen is willing to develop his Hyperdrive Rom for our device, but he needs a tablet. I can get him a tablet at a discount, but it still will cost in the $250 - 300 range. So far I only see one $40.00 donation, which is good, but not enough to proceed.
Again, if interested in helping fund the purchase of a tablet for Sbreen then please let me know. Also, the tablet that I would purchase would be the Wifi model, as that one seems to be the most popular varient.
No pressure - I just wanted to give an update.
Thanks,
Barb
Is there somewhere online you could set up a page to allow people to make actual donations & see how much has been & needs yet to be raised? Something kickstarterish. I think that would get more responses & avoid the issue of broken promises upon your attempt to collect on them. What are kickstarter's fees like? Once such a page is set up you can then get readers to attempt to promote the url as well as make a donation.
BTW Put me down for $20.
[Edit] Kickstarter style rewards could work quite well if the dev is willing to allow some minimal aspects to be dictated to some extent by the donors. Even just a mention in the credits. Is the dev reading this thread?
Good idea, but I don't have extra time to research kickstarter. I am pretty busy with my day job -- all I was hoping to do was provide a paypal account and collect donations.
Also, responding to your other question, I am not sure if Scott Breen is monitoring this thread. Here is a little history:
I have "worked' with Scott in the past -- several months ago he had agreed to develop Hyperdrive for the Note 10.1, and we were able to get him that tablet, and he is still developing. I believe he just uploaded a new ROM version recently. I used Hyperdrive on my Note 3 smartphone, and then on the Note 10.1 (which I don't even use anymore because I love this 12.2 much.)
At any rate, I contacted him a week or so ago and asked if he might be willing to do the same for the 12.2 (which I now use exclusively.) His response was that he will be happy to do so if Ican find him a test tablet. I was just thinking if people who use the 12.2 would like Hyperdrive then they would contribute $20-40 and we could get going. But the response has been slow, so I suspect the interest is just not there.
If someone else would like to take over collecting funds that would be great.
Barb
Understood. Shame though. A few ppl did say they'd donate above, they just didn't specify an amount. Could those ppl post their offers? I guess you'd only need ten to twenty or so & if you get close maybe a few will up their existing offer. Would mentioning this thread in other subforums here be allowed & get anymore attention? Any mods reading?
Would this only be for the Regular NON-Verizon N12.2? I have the Verizon variant with Root, and if something like this could be done, I'd gladly help by donating.
Yes i know about this thread and would be happy to build you guys a killer rom for your device. Posting your pledges of what you feel is reasonable in the thread is great.
Thanks for your support and lets get it rocking in here :good:
I am interested. And I wanted to donate $20.
20 Bucks from me. :laugh:
Recap of donations
Hi guys,
To date it looks like we have $80 in pledges
fokus $20
muzzy996 $40.00
cauli $20.00
almost half way there. I will keep tracking and keep everyone updated. Please help spread the word -- it would be so nice to have Hyperdrive running these tablets!
Thanks again,
Barb
PS - In case anyone wonders, I am not donating because my donation will be in the acquiring of the tablet and postage to get it to developer. That will run about $25.
I'll throw in $20. This POS needs a light rom. My G3 just started to perform like my G2 now that it has Liquid on it. Hyperdrive will do the same for das boot
put me $10...
I would like to ask, if he will add Note 4 spen functions to this tablet.. which is most important case for me.. NOTE4 aircommand,, not Note3
??

Most likely will be able to be ported once the note pro gets 4.4.4 firmware
i'd be down to contribute $20 toward development of hyperdrive for my SM-P900

Oppo Find 5 Needs Developer Help, Donations Will Be Given, Help Make the Oppo Find 5 A Beast Modded With, Roms, Kernels, TWRPs, CWMs, We Need Someone Who Can Do This If You Are Willing To Donate Time To Oppo Find 5, And We Donate CASH.
I know that paperWastage and drewX2 have been doing some awesome work on the Oppo Find 5(OF5), but they cant do everything by themselves. TWRP and CMW are already working, but need updateded I think so. So I came up with an idea last night that would take some of the stress off their back and maybe someone could help them get things going a little faster, of course I will donate and I’m sure other will also. If my idea sounds stupid just delete this thread, I’m just trying to get as much help as we can on development with this device since it has the same CPU and GPU as most devices out today the quad core - S4Pro. The phone cost $499 and if we all pitch in a few bucks we could have the money for this phone to give to a developer who has worked with the S4Pro chipset before and knows most of how it operates and they will know what they are doing with the S4ProChipset. If this sounds like a good idea, I will start off by donating $20 so that that we can order this phone and send it to the developer of our choice. We need a really good dev. that isn’t working on anything right now and can spend some time turning our Oppo Find 5 into a beast.
If everyone agrees to donate a little as you want anything will help we only need $400to get this phone , I have saw more than that raised in one day. I don’t want to be in control of the money someone with a little ore authority here at XDA can do that. So does this sound like a good Idea, If so start getting in contact with some of the best developers that you know and let them know we got a free phone waiting on them and other donation for time and effort.
I WILL ADD NAME IF YOU ANT ME TOO - LIST OF DEVELOPERS. I will add others as people get in touch with the me or other developers and give them either give a YES or NO for committing time to the Oppo Find 5. When list is made we will all vote of which developers to send the phone out to so they can begin development.
1. drewX2 - He is working on Mod of CM10 and he does not even own the Oppo Find 5. Definitely on the top of my lists CM10 WORK http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2197147
2. paperWastage- I think he has Oppo Find 5 already though still dedicating a lot of time and a beer of coffee would be nice.

6.

10.
If you want your name on the list put in post and I will add it, I only made 10 for now if we need more I will add them later. Hopefully this is something that people consider; you don’t have to donate all kinds of money even $5 will work, Hell $3 will work, anything to get us closer to that $400. Everyone does not need to donate like some people will and donate $20 or $30 dollars. Because right now we need some serious help paperWastage and drewX2 have been doing some awesome work, a couple people can’t do this all by themselves, and if we want to make this phone worth every cent we spent for it, we really need to make this a nice phone that we can flash Roms, Kernels, and all the good stuff then this is a good opportunity to make it happen.
I'd buy a phone for a Dev. I think Entropy512,KamMa NODO-GT and XpLoDWilD already have the phone though....I haven't had a S4 Pro phone before so I don't know any experienced devs,but count me in for $10 a month.
I want to contribute whith my donations.
I´ve already make one to Kamma AOSP´s proyect
My next donation will go to Xplodwild when he launch his new builds of CM10.1
Donations do nothing but fragment the community in almost all situations. In fact, more often than not, users don't even remotely get their money's worth from device donations to developers.
Hell, in my opinion even teamhacksung device donations for CM bringups were bad ideas in the long run - they caused developers who had potential to achieve something to just say "****it, teamhacksung is here, I'll just kang".
If the device is still in a bad state after 4-5 months - yeah, then maybe it's time to start considering donation drives.
But a device that has only had kernel source available for 2-3 weeks? Hell no.
It often takes MONTHS to properly learn a device's ins and outs. You can't just throw devices at developers and immediately have good stuff overnight. More often than not, developers who take donations in advance will just take donations for another device in a month or two - I've seen it all the time.
Don't donate to encourage work to be done - only donate for work that has already been done.
And I'll be blunt - drewx2 should never have created a CM thread here. Blind development almost never works and fails spectactularly instead, especially for a CM bringup. Blind development only works for devices that are 99% identical to one the developer owns (I777 vs. I9100, N8010 vs. N8013, I777 vs. S959G, etc.) His thread is just a donation ploy. Any maintainer with the discipline to do a bringup knows when it is NOT the time to publically release anything because it's nowhere near ready, and also knows that you do NOT do blind development for a CM bringup.
Mod please delete thread, devs should get paid after they show progress in thier work
Mod please delete this thread everything you said made since. Give donation to the people when the work is in progress and completed, and not before I always give donations for devs efforts but you have taught me a lesson.
You know what you are doing Entropy512, you been around awhile, and I wish so bad you had this device even if you would work on it. I really like the phone its badass and its not all that buggy it just needs some kinks ironed out and in my opinion some kernels because this kernel is not running like it should. We need a kernel so we can play with and overclock or underclock with good governors to ramp it up or down.Come on down faux and show-p plus many more.
Can't we all just get along? Work together already.
Okay, enough is enough. This thread has just turned into a playground, as well as being pointless and jumping the gun in the first place. At everyone involved in the arguing, you really do need to stop doing it publicly. At the OP, be patient and see what the developers bring.
Thread closed at OP request.
I contacted the developer beanstown106 about getting him a note 8.0 so he can port his ROM from the note 2 over to the Note 8 and he said he would be willing to.
For the people who don't know who beanstown106 is he is the developer of one of the best ROMs for the note 2 (i know there are many ROMs and i have tried a ton of them) It is the ROM I am currently using and have been for months as it has so many goodies including sd swap, custom kernel options and a lot, I mean A LOT to offer. Here is a link so you can see his work http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2032447
Let's do this so the note 8.0 can be a much better device then it already is
He set up this gofundme page already and here goes the first $20 http://www.gofundme.com/2qa1q8?utm_campaign=Emails&utm_source=sendgrid.com&utm_medium=email

Very important ! Donations do not guarantee the developer will get the device
There are no guarantees the developer will release anything just because you donated.
Or just pay for it all yourself...that works for me too.

once the s3 gets the premium suite everything should even out nicely with the same mods across multiple devices. the only device that is irritating me is the note10 cuz im new to the whole tablet mode type of stuff phone and phhablet should be quite easy for me aka n2,s3,s4 and n8. and obviously as devices get older they will be retired.. my baseline build for the note8 will be ready soon just got in from work gonna chow and then i will need someone to test flash

Porting the N2 ROM to the N8 wont be hard as he stated already the specs are the same and the only difference between those devices is the resolution
I am sure when the time comes he will be doing a beans ROM for the note 3 but for now all we have is this because the S4 is not even out on verizon
Come on guys lets make this happen $400 more to go or 40 people $10 each :fingers-crossed:

See my post in the development Thread.
Bump, don't forget every dollar counts
I think this should be mentioned in any donation thread in the very first post. I am only saying this to protect gracious donaters and avoid any potential confusion regarding expectations. I've seen many threads like this turn out very ugly (see Galaxy S2 T-989), people were filing lawsuits, police reports, etc.
I'm not trying to call out the OP or developer but it's important that the OP mention:
- Donations do not guarantee the developer will get the device
- There are no guarantees the developer will release anything just because you donated.
Be aware, you're making a donation. Since there are no guidelines laid out in the OP, don't have any expectations if you do decide to invest.
With that being said I hope everyone gets a Note 8.0, it's the best tablet out, imo.

Seems you are new to this thread, there was a previous bounty at the early release of this note to BeansTown106 , money was raised, Beans got the Note, came out with a root within 30 minutes time, then sold the note.
I doubt that any one here could participate in this again to the same person.

No, not confused, you can simply refer to any P600 user who donated at the beginning & got fooled out .
Here, go through this thread & find out yourself.

Luckily , i am a P601 user
Just an FYI there was a bounty for root and I achieved it and collected bounty never fooled anyone out. I borrowed a friends tablet and used it as a test device I never owned one of my own. Also if ur a p601 user I don't see how this applys to you either way

I never mentioned that this applied to me being a P601 user, i was lucky i didn`t donate in this, i was only stating a fact .
OK, Can we PLEASE get back on topic? Im in for $50, all we need is $300 more. People are on here asking where are the devs? Well Beans is highly respected. We need to help these guys out. It takes ALOT of time. You guys wonder why we have no devs???? You scare them away.
Mods might as well delete this thread. It's obvious no one really wants a new rom. I hear complaining about where are the devs, but now I know why we have limited support. This device will not see much support, because of the members here.

How about a taster. I've worked with both devs for the p600 and am in the preparation of building my own rom. They both provided the best rom they could without the tablet then raised the money really quick and gave us two of the smoothest roms around. Just a thought you have nothing to lose but a tablet and a lot more in donations to gain once people see the work you have put in
The only issue I have with this is what did he do with the initial money we gave him when he got us the first root of the device a few months ago. I know just me I had given him $50 for his contribution to the community, pretty sure he raised enough at that time to go and buy a note if he really wanted one. I don't know just my observation.
I'm pretty sure a bounty comes without an obligation to buy the device. So whatever he did with it is his choice.
Some users are also pissed off the the root method beanstown106 provided tripped the knox counter. I read the initial thread and the bounty was set for root and at that moment the was no Knox condition set for the bounty. So you anyone is allowed to disagree with his actions and I can imagine not being happy with the Knox tripped root but beanstown106 didn't actually do anything wrong. Althoug I can imagine people not being happy with him collecting the bounty first and then asking for donations to buy the device.

Hello everyone,
most of you probably don't know me since I did not develop for Samsung devices for quite some time now.
I would be interested in aiding the Exynos 5420 development scene (in particular on the Galaxy Note 10.1) and prepare a custom Android distribution for it (Team EOS 5.0 - Lollipop).
I can get all the required drivers and binaries I need for development, since most of it is open source luckily.
And the Nexus 10 (manta) can still be used as reference for many things.
All I need is a development device to debug on.
It is particularly important that this is the Galaxy Note 10.1 EXYNOS (WiFi-only variant), and not the LTE (Qualcomm) variant.
I created this thread to ask whether someone has a spare device lying around, maybe because of the little development on Exynos 5 devices, or if people would be willing to donate a device (I'm a university student and unfortunately can not afford the full price for a new device. I'm willing to dive into the Exynos development scene and spend time on this device though, including extensive debugging).
You can leave a reply in this thread or contact me on gmail: [email protected]
I have a better idea. Sending device is a problem. But we can donate to you, and then u can purchase P600 or P601 on SWAPA or EBAY. not new but fully working
I would be glad to see working AOSP/MAHDI or other ROMs runnig on my P601
Yeah, that was the initial idea.
I would pay any shipping costs or parts of a device (a used one is perfectly fine).
The issue I see is that probably not enough people willing to donate enough small amounts of money, hence I asked if someone had a spare device I could buy or pay the shipping costs.

I think it would be better to ask for donations because there is not a lot of people here although it would be hard. There have been previous instances where at least 2 different devs raised donations for this device before stopping development shortly after so people do have some trust issues. It would take a while but i'm sure people would donate considering you are offering an AOSP experience. If you renamed this thread to something like: Donations needed for new device- AOSP rom development. Then it would catch a lot of eyes because that's what a lot of people want The question remains whether people would actually donate. The average cost for you would be around 250-300 euros I think. That means you would need around 28 people (10 each). Whatever way you decide to go down, I wish you luck and I look forward to any rom developments if you do manage to get the device :good:
You seem to have quite a respectable history (in both Rom & kernel developement), so I think getting enough donations should be doable (and I'd be willing to donate a few bucks myself)
But I do have a few questions:
1) What about warranty? Some devs who had collected donations for a (used) device, have bricked their devices -> no more developement
Therefore P600 owners might be scared / hard to convince
2) what exactly is "Team EOS 5.0" and what makes it different from other Roms? Would you perhaps consider developing other Roms / kernels as well? (like porting over PA for example?)
Or would you maybe consider becoming the official P600 CyanogenMod maintainer (since we don't have one, yet)? [<- I think this one would be reason enough to donate]
Last but not least:
You could ask one of the XDA members who managed the previous donation-collections for help (they have successfully done it before, so they might be able to do it again :fingers-crossed: )
PS: The Note 10.1 2014 is great for college, trust me - I'm a student, too . All you need is the Papyrus-App from the Play Store.
Thank you two for your reasonable thoughts.
I think the main reason why the previous developers stopped developing for this device rather quickly is the Exynos chip.
The main difference between me and anyone else is (or so I believe) the fact that I am especially interested in developing for the Exynos 5420 chip and the drivers for it (mainly from the Insignal forum source).
As far as bricked devices, I can say I had a Samsung device before, and as long as the bootloader is unlockable and access to ODIN (The firmware flashing tool) is granted, a hard brick is rather hard to achieve. I see little risk here, and I assume my previous development experience will prevent me from making major mistakes in that regard.
A new device would cost me approximately 350€, so if we could collect about 300$ with donations (which would equal something like 270€), I'd pay the remaining costs.
People are of course free to check my development history and/or references first and see if they think I would benefit the aosp development scene for this device.
The ROM I mentioned (Team EOS 5.0 lollipop) is essentially AOSP 5.0 with selected features that we code ourselves, like EOS Weather, or the NX gesture interface.
If people however see the need for an official CM maintainer, I'd be happy to become this as well, all I need is a device to debug and develop on, I'd be willing to spend the time to officially maintain this device.
Other developers and/or contributors should also expect support from me in areas of kernel development or AOSP custom ROM development. I believe in 'sharing is caring', so all my knowledge and achievements on this device shall benefit the community.
If some of you could maybe contact the people who raised donations before, I'd be thankful and gratious for the support. All donations will be listed here and the whole process shall be as transparent as possible.

Hi. Here's the most recent donation thread which was successful :good:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2742793
I don't see why another thread is needed though. I don't mind opening one up for you but you might as well use this one if you just rename it and state your intentions in the op.

Okay, so if maybe one of you guys, with good contact to the community, could open a new donatiion thread to collect the ~300$, I'd be grateful.
Or maybe @drrasii could chime in here and edit his first donation thread and link here as a reference to let people know what I want to do.
As I said above, I'd be willing to become the official CM maintainer, or if CM refuses to accept this for some reason, I'd host the needed sources for the device on my personal GitHub and keep it updated so people can build whatever ROM they want.
Of course, the first goal would be to get Lollipop running on this tablet, which I'd start with as soon as the device is ordered/has arrived.
Hey guys. That donation thread I started a while ago was on a whim cause I wanted Hyperdrive by sbreen on my Note. Was lucky enough to have him commit and get enough people chipping in for the tablet which was met with success. I'm by no means a great organizer or somebody with tight connections here on XDA . Probably would be best if someone who wanted to head it up would start a new thread stating the case.
Best of luck!

Thanks for the quick answer.
Could one of you guys (@22sl22 or @r4yN) then open a new donation thread and explain a bit about this thread and my plans?
If we manage to handle this process rather quickly, people should be able to enjoy L on this tablet soon hopefully.

Sure, i'll open one now :good:
I'll also post a message in here after the new thread has been created so that people know http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10-2014/general/rumours-plans-to-android-5-0-t2861225
EDIT: before I open the thread, how much do you actually need? $300 is about 240 Euros, not 270 so we will need a bit more, say $350, would that be OK?
Thank you very much.
Actually, 300$ (240$) is enough, I'd be willing to pay the other 100€ myself if it needs to be.
I want to get started rather quickly and have L running on this device, so I'd order the device as soon as the 300$ are collected.
Why a P600 model and not the P601 model?
The p601 to develop is exactly the same from p600 plus the phone side.
Sent from my SM-P601 using XDA Free mobile app
Why the delay? Here are the first 10 €!

Hi RaymanFX!
Glad to see that a real dev wants to take our device and port CM11 for us.
I do not make many words, but simply push the first $ 12.12 to you.
That's the current rates for 10, -€.
Hope it works as good as for sbreen (dev from HyperdriveRom) and many people jumps like lemmings behind me. :good: Haha!
Hope also we get the money quickly together and will try to continue to encourage people to make a small donation.
10,-€

Hey RaymanFX, excited for asop 5.0 but curious about some of the stock features that make this tablet. Is there any way to preserve multi window support or s-pen features ?
There are a few threads already discussing interest in a Dex Port for the Tab S3, but I don't see a dedicated bounty thread. I'm willing to throw some money behind someone getting Dex working on a Tab S3 (stock port or in a rom depending on the underlying tech) since I mainly use my tablet in keyboard mode, and hopefully there are others also willing to put some money behind someone developing it. I'll start with $100 USD.
EDIT: I think it's clear after about 6 months that there's not much interest in this for the tablet. Mods, feel free to delete/archive.
