I started a gofundme account to get the proper devs a couple G4s to help with unlocking the bootloader and attaining root. If you have a few bucks, throw it in the pot and I will get the money to whichever devs think they can get the work done!
The donations made will be split 50/50 between @autoprime and @thecubed to purchase 2 devices of their choosing, anything extra will go directly to them for any necessary supplies.
MOD EDIT by @gregbradley
Thread closed link
If you have any issues with money already donated please PM the OP, this has nothing to do with XDA, this is why we do not condone crowd funding.
Where's the link?
MOD EDIT by @gregbradley Link removed.
That would probably be beneficial, lol

Thanks guys! We'd love to get some neat goodies for y'all on the G4
Just did my donation also.
Leaving it in your hands to tune this baby to what it should be!
Good luck!
Threw some cash in wish I could have done more, I just had to tear up my yard and reseed it damn weather.
$80 sent.
Made a small donation to help fantastic devs. Thanks in advance for you future job.
Wow you guys are awesome
I'll see if I can stop by an ATT store sometime tomorrow and play with the device a bit.

Well people like YOU are awesome who take the time of out your already busy schedules and develop for us! When I get paid Thursday, I'll be making a donation. My first non-Sammy phone in 3+ years and first one with unlocked BL in over a year so I will be "making it rain" to all the devs I can so I can have some development on this phone! Thanks again! (to all devs as well)
When I get paid on Friday I'll drop a few duckets in the bucket.
Same here. Been in-between jobs at the moment and don't start new one till June 8th, but I think I get my severance from my last job this friday.
How does this work? Which devs would get a phone? And for 1500 you can only buy 2,5 phones. Obviously the international version should be purchased as well right?

You donate, money goes towards the devs. One already commented on here ( @thecubed ) and not sure of the others. Phone is only like $550, but I'm sure a few extra bucks will be fine. Pfft international version? 'Murica!
I set the goal at $1500, but it can very easily go over. The money will be split 50/50 between @autoprime and @thecubed. If the device only costs $550-600, the rest goes into their pockets for any other supplies necessary and as a thank you for their time.

Can't find the market place, yet I read the "Forum and Marketplace" rules. If this is not the correct place, please let me know and move this topic.
First, wanted to thank everyone for their wealth of knowledge. I used this forum to modify all of the Android phones to make them mine. I have 2 Vibrants, A G2, Captivate, and Droid. This place makes using and modifying these devices a BREEZE. Again, thank you everyone who contributes here.
I have a 2 day old G2 for sale. I put my sim card in, organized my contacts, put Fancy Widget, TAJM, BattStatt, and LauncherPro on it. That's it. Decided to sale it because I have many phones, and this phone seemed to be the one who would recoup the most money.
It has everything that comes with the phone from the factory. Also has a hard case and hip clip brand new from T-Mobile.
Everything you get at the store, you get here.
If there is anything that you need, just let me know. I can give out the IMEI number to anyone seriously interested.
I am located in Mobile, AL and would love a local sell, but I will ship.
You can PM me or just reply here. I will be checking all day.
**Im posting this on the laptop now, and when I get done I am going to take pics on my Vibrant and add pics from that phone immediately.**
Again, if this is the wrong section, Im sorry. I tried to locate a proper 'Marketplace', but I am a few fries short of a Happy Meal.
Thanks guys,
Exx
PICS***
It says I can not post pics because there is a restriction on new users. I can email on request, until I can get a mod to let me post pics.
Sorry guys.

lmaoooo is the bish serious? crackberry for android. one of those accesories better be a g1 because i'd pick a g1 over crackberry, unless its a crackberry torch. that phone is kinda awesome besides the small keyboard for small fingered people.
Is the HTZ Desire (A8) a good trade for the G2?
I like the look of the phone, and don't mind having it as an extra. What do you guys think about the phone?

She's a US citizen and resident, so it'll be 18 at minimum. The only state exceptions are higher ages, like 19 and 21.
In AL, age of consent is 16 my friend. Step your game up.

Where can I donate to???
I never managed to get one of the hp touchpads when they were going cheap in the UK.
a few places are showing as in stock, but at the full price still.
If i manage to get my hands on one I will be donating to the bounty.
Gonna try my luck tomorrow morning, hope i can't get a 16G one.

We got " Galaxy S, Gen1 " devices with keyboards! What's up with either a new Similar product, with a Keyboard? Idc where the factory is that makes it but, give me an upgrade! Let there be a phone like this but better on a different network, y'all gonna lose my 1000 dollars a year! I'll give them 1500 dollars next 2 yrs for a bigger screen with keyboard!

Emails are easy to block and ignore... the primary reason physical letters are effective in large enough numbers, is because the post office is obligated to deliver every single letter - and thousands of physical envelopes stuffed with letters will take up a -lot- of space in the office... emails, not so much...

So what do you say folks? Wouldn't it be awesome to have a great dev like Lithid back in the mix!?! Here's what we can do to make it happen; Make a donation to help fund the purchase of an OG. If someone that is upgrading, or already has, was to choose to donate their old OG to further the cause, well even better. If this is something you can do, by all means hit up Lithid by PM, or @lithid on Twitter. If anyone is able to donate their phone and has taken action to do so, please comment in this thread so I can request it to be closed.
I'm going to make a donation as soon as I get some extra cash, I will modify this post accordingly at that time.
To donate, hit Lithid's donate button in any of his posts, here's one- remCPU
I always like having Lithid over here on the OG side of the house so I did my part in hopes we get him back and donated 15 dollars right now....will donate another 10 on Monday!

From my experiences, usually these threads come to fruition and people deliver the payments once the bounty is hunted. Definitely does rely on the honour system, though. Maybe someone could set up one of those crowd-funding things? Heh.
