Interested in Android 5.0/Official CM? Support & Donations needed- P600 Model

17 November 2014: Goal has been reached and tablet is now in the hands of RaymanFX. Still feel free to support and donate to help him continue to prepare for his upcoming works. You can see his progress at github.com/raymanfx and

Under Christopher Hesse
Hello everyone,
I am creating this thread on behalf of @RaymanFX , a recognized developer who needs a device to develop for us.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=3463426
He is looking to develop for the P600, WiFi only model and is looking to make AOSP/CM roms and kernels for us.
Here is a previous thread of his: http://forum.xda-developers.com/find-7/orig-development/rom-teameos-revival-nightlies-t2826587
And here is a list of previous threads: http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=319162976
Quote by RaymanFX:
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).
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.

He is very committed to getting this device and developing for us so let's get him this device. He needs at least $300 so just write below how much you would be willing to donate if the funds were raised for the device. I will update this post with the names and how much people are willing to donate :good:
If at least 30 people donate say $10 for example then we can do this easily. I pledge $10 dollars so lets get this started!!

$20 is perfect, any donations are helpful
Yes PayPal. If you look at his profile there's a link there. I'll add your name to the list :good:

Alright, I've just donated 20€ (which equals ~25$ if I'm not mistaken). It would be great, if @RaymanFX confirmed the transaction (I've refered to XDA in the transaction note, but if you need the transaction ID, write me a PN)
PS: I know I said I'd donate 20$, but I figured since he's german, I could just as well donate 20€ instead :highfive:
And I also know that you usually don't donate until enough pledges have been made, but I have faith that we will make it. And if we don't, well, consider it a donation for the effort, lol

Btw since you're german, THIS might be an interesting offer (although I'm not sure about the warranty)

You can add me on the list

Is there anyway to donate directly from debit card? Paypal has problems with my card and renders the service unusable.

It depends. If you live in Germany it will obviously be easier. If not, it depends from country to country. What country are you in?

Hi there,
nice to see that at least one person is not scared away by the exynos cpu
You can count me in for 15€
I have a question though:
How is this handled? Are we donating all at once when enough people have expressed their will to donate?
Or should I already donate so that you can be sure that I'm serious?

The donating is a personal thing. I worded things in the op to be safe. It's just easier if people pledge, say they are gonna donate, and then once the amount has been reached people can actually donate.
Say for example, there are no pledges and we raise 200 dollars that people have already donated in a few weeks and then people lose interest and not a lot of donations come in anymore. I don't want people to be angry if the dev doesn't end up getting the tablet. :good:
Better to pledge but if you want to donate right now that's fine. Either way i'll add you to the list

Could you in the title add that this is for the exynos variant. It mislead me into thinking this was for the snapdragon until I read a little.

Ok I'm in for $20. Maybe a little more if we get close! Awesome guys.

In for $30 ?

Hey everyone,
just letting you know I was donated another 10€ yesterday, so we're at over 200$ now!
That's more than 2/3 of our goal, so there's only 100$ left.
Keep on going, we're almost there now.
Thanks to the community for having so much faith in me and enabling development for this device.

CM development started - MONEY COLLECTION TO BUY TESTING DEVICE

Dear community,
recently we've spoken to Codeworkx, recognized senior developer, and he agreed to try to build CM for Honor 6. I think it's a GREAT NEWS!
The only problem is that he does not have handset for the testing, which is a must!
So, I am asking all of you interested in CM for Honor 6, and I have seen there are many of us, to collect the money, so Codeworkx can buy a handset for the purpose of the testing.
The easiest way is to send him your donations via his paypal account, you can see details under his profile.
As soon as he collects enough money he would let us know.
Yeah, it is based on trust guys. Please do not forget he does it in his spare time, not asking any reward for that...
@codeworkx, is that fine with u?

What if the money we donate doesn't match the price of the handset?
Will the money be returned to us or @codeworkx will keep them for other project or for himself (no offence codeworkx ) or he will constribute money too, in order to buy the device? In my singature there is a list of "safe" shops to buy from and a comparison of the for the H60-L02 version. These are some logical questions and I have no intention to insult anyone.

@RomanosN you're right.
I'd like to start a fundraising campaign but now the better way should be to continue to donate by PayPal.
Only 2 recommendations:
- please write how much you donate (even if 1$) in order to improve donations and make public how much we have collected. We can also post a countdown
- don't forget we can also support other developers' work (like spanorg's one), or find new devs who likes to develop for h6.
OK?

If that helps in any way, I'm trying to sell mine (good as new) for €250. It may help as it's cheaper than a brand new unit, and I don't need it since I have another phone anyway.
Just adding some info: its bootloader is already unlocked, CWM recovery installed and rooted too.

FunkyHuawei 2.0

See the next post for details.

Firstly, I want to thank all the users of the original FunkyHuawei. Due to costs involved, I can no longer offer FunkyHuawei as a donation-based program.
This thread is to provide support to those using the service to recover/update/rebrand their Mate 9/Mate 9 Pro, and to get feedback. Check the free credits thread to get a free credit which you can use for the service, exclusive for XDA members.

Any idea what we can expect pricing wise or if (actual) donators can carry (some of) their donation over to any new system?

Pricing will be between $15 to $30 per month for individuals with one device. The higher price plan includes technical support, the lower price doesn't. It will be between $200 and $300 for businesses/resellers who are flashing multiple phones (this was a big problem with original FunkyHuawei, and has cost me a lot.)
As for those who donated, if you donated equal to or less than the recommended donation, no. If you donated more generously than the recommended donation, or donated the recommended donation very recently, I will refund the first charges from the new service. If you are one of those people, contact support once the new site launches.

If i understood correctly, than:
The developement here will go to an end.
I understand, that everyone wants to earn something. Theese are everyones rights. But now it will be like that, if something happened to your device, pay and it will be fixed, if no sit with your brick.
I am supporting, 100% about those business/ressellers e.t.c that use it, maybe donating 30$ flashing 10000000 phones and earning x100 more than donated.
This system would be ideal for them.If its business then it shall be like that.
As for the XDA Community:This is not fair.
Some people will do that, but the most part i think not.
We will loose many mate 9 users in the end. And i can bet, that someone will try to do free alternatives after time. Wouldnt it bee better, to seperate us xda users, from business.
Ok we all can donate, most of us, but i can bet that there are people who cant.
Im not saying that im not supporting this idea, but also im not saying that i support.

Hi, I was actually considering using your service but asking $30 per month per user per phone is absurd. Companies, phone resellers OK but for a private person who wants to enjoy his phone I think this is a total ripoff, no matter how much time you put into it. I hope your business fares well though!

Time to sell my Mate 9.
Good luck with funky 2.0.
I've donated more than 50 euros just to recover my phone. But I'm not paying one more cent for things that are free in other devices. Next time I will buy other phone model. This is too much.

Yep, this is what im talking about.
Xda users must be kept seperate.
Business users are business users.

Go to he'll mate 9 and all Huawei products. We will leave u and ur company playing together and make money from air. But all companies will support their phones as that is the fair and the duty for every company if it would to be at the top. Thanks and goodbye.

All the phones listed doesn't need ur tool to flash firmwares, only mate 9 for now need it.
I'm sure lot of people are working to find a way for mate9.
We are @ XDA,So some patience and ur tool will be useless.

I agree with a lot that was said on both sides of the argument. Somehow a distinction should be made between users on XDA that have a DIY attitude and want to play with their own device with businesses that are rebranding multiple phones and trying to make big bucks.
Clearly running a business on XDA is against forum rules so presumably Funky Huawei will be moving elsewhere. While I hadn't used it I tried to keep up with what was happening. Sorry to see it go....

I don't plan to market FunkyHuawei on XDA, but I think item 11 would allow me to continue supporting people using it, if I keep up an active support thread like I've been doing. The rules are a bit unclear in that regard. So long as it's done with an intention of supporting, as opposed to selling, I think I can maintain a presence.
Anyway, I do very well understand the complaints of people who would prefer it to be more free. Unfortunately, until there is a universal income, extremely large amounts of bandwidth and storage are free, or I'm otherwise rich enough to afford not working, I can't do it like that -- it's simply not possible. This is the only way I can continue to operate it.
An alternative might be found, I might not get users, and it might not do well, but I'll do my best to have my service be an option to people who want or need it. As for those who don't want to use it, I can very well understand their reasons, and wish them the best of luck finding a less resource-intensive method to flash the phone.
Having thought about what I can do to help people who can't afford it, I will, as a compromise, come up with a free way to use the service, limited to XDA members who are not reselling or flashing large numbers of phones. For obvious reasons, I can't give unlimited open free access to everyone, but I can schedule time blocks for particular people to use the service for free. I will come up with details for that plan and announce it here later.

Firstly, I want to thank all the users of FunkyHuawei. I have decided to expand FunkyHuawei to be useful to even more people.

You've been very helpful to a lot of people, myself included, and I thank you for that. But personally, I too think $15/mo for a normal user is unreasonable. I was a user who donated and only used the service 2 times since it launched. I updated my Mate 9 to B136 and then to B138. That was about 2 GB of bandwidth, which costs next to nothing. I don't know how much time you put into this, but from the sounds of it, a lot of people are using the service. I think your numbers are going to drastically drop if you try charging that much.
I highly recommend you charge a lower fee for a PER FLASH/DOWNLOAD basis. For people like me who only own ONE device, and needed the service because Huawei OTA's are terrible, this makes sense. I cannot justify paying $15 per month when I might not even use the service for a month... 2 months, etc. (totally dependent on OTA update frequency). Sure, I could probably "cancel" every time I'm done using it... but that could still be $15 for 1 download, which is insane. Can you imagine if companies charged $15 for every update? It wouldn't work well for them at all.
All I'm asking is that you reconsider. I hate to hear that you were abused by unscrupulous people using hundreds of gigs of data after donating 1 cent, but your current proposed pricing scheme is just unreasonable for a normal user. I think charging a smaller fee for a 1 time download would work much better for you and everyone else who is not a business/reseller.
duraaraa said:
FunkyHuawei 2.0 will support several Huawei models, including, of course, the Mate 9. Addition of new firmware is automated, so all of the latest updates will be available faster.
iginal version will remain open at least 24 hours from this post, so please use it now while it still exists if you need it.

Would you be able to add the Huawei Honor Note 8 to this list? I'm giving up my Mate 9 for that device and would love to see it supported! The Nougat beta for it just launched on the Chinese site, but it seems nobody from the small Note 8 community here on XDA has managed to get ahold of it. If you pulled that off, a lot of people from over there would certainly pay for it, myself included!

I'm sure you will. I have nothing but praise for what you have given to this community. The level of resentment you see in some of the posts is just a reflection of how people grew to love FunkyHuawei and are now afraid of losing access to it. I'm positive you'll come up with a solution that is fair for everyone, you included.
Keep up the good work. :good:

So, calm everybody down.
We will see what @duraaraa will offer to us, who have one phone, and will use 1 time per 2 mnths or as @Nitemare3219 said, when OTAs will be available.
I think that those users need a free solution. There is needed to be made a automated list of those users or smtn like that. Or just set a counter, first time for free, OTAs free, any adittional flashing paid.

Maby OTA update should be free or a low cost but crossflash and unbrick the phone should cost money? U could separate and make 2 programs. One for OTA updates with ads that can generate money that u have to look at before u can upgrade. And another program for crossflash and unbrick?

Dear @duraaraa
I think the idea of reasonable donation per download is fair for you and the user..
Monthly fee is not a good idea as users may not use the service for the whole month...
Any way, thank you for what you have done so far.....

Would you be able to add the Huawei Honor Note 8 to this list? I'm giving up my Mate 9 for that device and would love to see it supported! The Nougat beta for it just launched on the Chinese site, but it seems nobody from the small Note 8 community here on XDA has managed to get ahold of it. If you pulled that off, a lot of people from over there would certainly pay for it, myself included!

Yes, I think it's possible for me to add support for it. Probably can have it added within the first few days of launching.
I'm assuming you're talking about the EDI-AL10C233 ?

Lineage OS 14.01

I personally used every cm13 and lineOS14 from Meticulus and the development was good. Android as a open source OS developers preferring money for developments is completely not the right way. Hope that the developers figure out this problems and not abandon hundreds and thousands of users who trusted the developers and have love and passion for a clean OS to their phones.

Stawp.
He got pissed off bc people did not respect the rules in 8 out of 10 replys in his Dev Thread not bc he wanted to be a millionaire, wtf?
He mainly build the source. If he decides to ask a donation for it so people will buzz off it's his problem not yours.
Next time respect rules in Dev Thread.
(i am not a sponsor of his)

But, nothing see?
Server of devs cost Money
Build machines cost Money
Devices cost Money
Example:
Build machine (basic) on old hardware but 64b support= 150$
Basic Server = 50$ per year

Meticulus uses a free webhost and a free domain. = 0 $
Community donated for his p9 lite = 0$
Build machines aka his pc is his own property for daily use so all in all he pays nothing.

And the internet are free?
And the time?
You job and no receive Money?

Do you think it's okay to sell other's work ?
Do you think those who contributed to lineage os will be happy to see someone making profit out of it ?

You are not obligated to receive any money for your home needs from us. We all pay for basic needs, things you do here you wilingly choose to do as volunteer and making projects based on someones else source(lineage os) is not a full time job. So making roms is NOT a full time job, it's a volunteer job.

Ok....

To the point well said. Asking for a donation is no problem. But distributing a free OS only for a payment is not legally correct even.

Can we please end this debate? He got his P9 Lite from donations and uses free hosting services, so stop crying for him. Putting open source software behind a paywall is something the guy should be called out for, and that's it. He thinks he will get rid of the guys "bothering" him with questions, but the reality is he has a much lower user base so he also receives much lower feedback.
I follow the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 subforum where people ask even more retarded questions than people ask here on the P9 Lite subforum, but the developers never said "OMG this is so noobish I will stop developing"... But that's his decision and who am I to judge really...
The only choice we have is to wait for the official OTA and then find a way to root so we can debloat it... Or pay the guy's fee and enter his "secret" G+ group and receive updates from him. That's all.

This is bs and I'll tell you why. You can call a mod to clean the thread when things get out of hand.

beanstown106 must be a god :"D

I'm going to stop this one here guys. People are free to do what they want of course, but asking for donations for anything other than a tip and and a thanks, is not allowed on XDA. :good:

Why should any body on XDA do anything to help Honor ?
Honor made an aggreement with XDA saying that the Honor 8 was going to be a great phone for us when you know that what we want in a phone is updates and prompt response to releasing kernel source code.
You guys have done neither.
I'm running my Honor 8 on EMUI 5 with it's stock 380 update.
This update is terrible.
It's buggy and the battery life is terrible.
We have been asking for you to release kernel source code for months now and have received no answer.
Were stuck on an outdated version of EMUI 5.
You have released EMUI 5.1 but won't give it to us.
It's now April and were stuck on January security patch.
Honor you do your bit and then you can ask us to help you.
John
If you looking on XDA then you must have read just how unhappy people are.
You must have read the ROM's and kernel's thread and must have read how close we are in getting a fully working Lineage 14.1 and must have read how if you released your EMUI 5 kernel source code.
If you reading all this why are you not helping ?

@op that survey has nothing to do with the Honor 8. Stop spamming and get to the real matter as others have advised, we need quicker turn around for updates and Hotfixes be it Honor/Huawei or Google Hotfixes. Kernel source CODE is badly needed ASAP we need at least a engineer from Honor to help out in the Freedom of building Roms which install and run properly..
All in all its a great phone but socks like many Honor / Huawei devices for support...

Seems like huawei are in race releasing new devices rather maintaining an updates for their devices.
I think now they're only cared about how much of their devices sale's.

Totally agree with you there..
Damn shame as I do like the device just wished Rooting and mods were fare easier that what they are at the moment.. Had my device from Dec 2016 and we're at April 2017 and no changes from Honor to date..

That's exactly what's going on.
All these manufacturers want is to sell phones.
If they just took a step back and looked at what Google do different that sell so many phones.
Release source code and updates promptly

Start making good on your promises and maybe you'll get some help. It would be one thing if Honor had never promised anything, then it would just be an unfortunate delay. The problem is that Honor said that certain things would happen and they have never happened.

Doing the path of Xiaomi. They went from n.1 seller in China to down the table. Only pleasing the stockholders is a short term vision. They had probably the lowest customer retention in the last years.

Nope, one way communication.

Whatever, honor and Huawei don't actually care about the north American market other than sales.
Well, that's fine. We'll show them the same dedication by simply not buying anymore Huawei or honor devices.
Lots of other great manufacturers out there making excellent devices, and actually stick to their promises.
