Would anyone like to help me. I'm trying to raise money for the developers that are directly making Android happen for the HD2.
I would like to be able to post their Paypal Donation links next to each of their names in my blog post and start trying to spread this around the Internet. If not the actual donation button then maybe I can post a link to an xda post with their donation button.
Here is the page I made for this(please copy and paste as I can not yet post links): h t t p : // androidontmobilehd2.wordpress.com/2010/08/15/money-bomb-for-hd2/
I need people to help me get all their donation links together and permission from each to use them. And I also need help to make sure that I have every deserving developer in the list.
Thanks
*edit*
I'm building the list here too so that xda members have it for quick refrence.

Thanks!
Anyone with the other ones please post up.
lol if the dev's needed donations im am very sure they would ask...DIRECTLY
whats your cut
Still trying to add the donations links to my blog page everyone. Here is the list that I got from the discussion page:
cr2
NetRipper - Link added
dcordes - Link added
Markinus
LeTama
Cotulla - Link added
dan1j3l
Parad0XUA
manusfreedom
Please help me add the other links.
developers that wanted to be donated to have provided links to their paypal donation...dont really see the point of what your doing...sounds more like your trying to make a scam or something
wow you people really are hating on this guy or girl.
I don't see ANYTHING that would make this a scam. he/she even offers to send you to each developers own xda page to donate if you don't believe the links actually go to the real developers. I would suggest having the developers themselves reply here with a donate link so no one can doubt.
The poor guy/girl just wants to help the people that deserve it. And why do you assume the developers won't want the money??? are you insane? "If they wanted donations they would ask for it" well maybe they're to humble to ask for money! They may not think they deserve it but if I could I'd drop a dump truck full of cash on their doorstep, like it or not! lol
If you're to much of a d**k to want to donate to a good cause then just leave this thread.
I for one would love to encourage and reward the people who will one day bring me a 100% andriod/linux OS on my HD2. That is why I HAVE donated what small amount I could to the developers and will do so anytime I can.
P.S. to the people who will invariably say I am in on this so called "scam" you can ask TAEL or NRGZ28, they'll tell you I do/give as much as I can as often as I can and ask for nothing in return. also see that little star near my avatar that means I have donated to XDA for their part in the awesomeness, maybe some of you haters could try that?

Thank you, I'm glad to see that someone actually gets it. I didnt want to waste my time responding to people with negative comments. I get really tired of all the greedy and ungrateful people that just take and expect that it is a developer's job to provide them software. I'm sure that they have no idea what development hours cost when you have to purchase them. I know first hand that they are not cheap. And I am also vested in the fact that I own this phone and cant stand to use it with WM6.5. So it's either do everything I can to learn and help so that we can realize a complete Android replacement of WM or just send the phone back because two things I wont do are one, complain to people who have already given tons of their time and hard work and two, use windows mobile.
no problem. I'm not usually such a d**k myself but they just caught me off guard at the wrong moment
Upfront donations are not allowed...please see the forum rules.

DONORS LIST: (who had already donated to unrevoked)
(updated atleast once a day)---the donors list here is sorted according to date.
--20 USD----------by angelshonnny(Anton Paich)----15th apr 2011 @ 11:22 GMT
--25 USD----------by dmullaney------------------------15th apr 2011 @ 19:00 GMT
TOTAL SUM = 45 USD
TARGET presently will be "as much as we can" on our way to 1 WILDFIRE.
...............................................................................................................
the donors can now check out their names in the "Full Donor List" of the donation page of unrevoked, where u had actually donated. *****remember the names here are sorted in alphabetical order*****
check out the "Full Donor List" here: http://action.eff.org/site/TeamRais..._type&team_id=1570&show_amount=SUM&fr_id=1040
and the parent link of it here: http://action.eff.org/site/TR?team_id=1570&fr_id=1040&pg=team
...............................................................................................................
---angelshonnny-------updated in "Full Donors List"
---dmullaney-----------updated in "Full Donors List" -- total count there = 103 (on 15th apr)
** just added "total count" to let u differentiate between the wildfire users (frm here) and others donating to UNREVOKED (EFF).
** "total count" gives u the total number of all people who donated so far to UNREVOKED (EFF).
TOTAL COUNT (as on 21st apr 2011 @ 01:00 GMT) = 103
let us not forget telling THANKS to all the donors who are supporting this.
THREAD UPDATES:( + thread rules)
------smaller amounts by many people are more preferred OVER larger amounts by fewer people. called DIVISION OF LABOUR. Come on guys, go for atleast smaller amounts. let us share the work.
------Some of us might be thinking like "how long do we donate like this". The answer to that question should be given by unrevoked itself. I personally don't have any contact info of them. hope they have seen us here. i know that every donor makes contribution, thinking that the total amount will get a new wildfire to unrevoked. It will be nice if they respond.
So, let us all expect that unrevoked team makes some official TWITTER announcements regularly or even after getting a wildfire. they just need to respond about the status of wildfire.
------Let us see, if this process works, we can think a seperate donation account. Its not fair to think of it now.
R1------Please read the entire thread carefully. Understand the purpose of the thread. Don't get confused. Watch out, i have added the "donation page link" of unrevoked at the top.
R2------please post ur feedbacks and comments guys. And let me know what do u think.
R3------Donate to unrevoked with a willing heart. Donations will never be mandatory.
just see this link what it says in the FAQs:
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/unrevoked3
PHP:
QUESTION: I found this software useful, and I would like to donate to the team!
ANSWER: Thank you for your support. At this time, the team behind unrevoked3 does not accept donations; but we highly encourage our users to donate to the Electronic Frontier Foundation. The EFF performs the important role of standing up for our digital liberties, including the liberties to reverse-engineer devices that we own. If you are able, please consider making a contribution to them so that they can continue to perform this valuable service.
UNREVOKED TWITTER UPDATES: (since january 1st 2011)
twitter link : http://twitter.com/#!/unrevoked
facebook link: http://www.facebook.com/unrevoked.team
We're always keeping an eye out for ways to root the new Wildfire devices. No news yet - we'll post here when we have info.
13 Apr 2011
We've started keeping a list of root-friendly devices for consumers. Tweet us reports of devices: http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/root_friendly
12 Apr 2011
on 8th april, unrevoked responded via FACEBOOK like below:
I just wish I had better news!
The problem is that none of us actually own a Wildfire right now (and most of us have been busy-ish with school and/or work, and haven't hard a chance to do much unrevoked stuff in months).
Oh, and for those of you interested, we released source for an exploit in 2.2: https://github.com/unrevoked/zysploit (currently used in 3.)
18 Mar 2011
@Melvin2502 We have to use a different exploit for the Wildfire - they fixed the one we used in the latest code. Keep an eye here for news.
21 Jan 2011
Maybe good news for people with HTC Wildfire. We're looking at it. (Also maybe good news for people with EVO Shift 4G sooner or later.)
10 Jan 2011
unrevoked 3.32 (This Time I Mean It Edition) released for Aria. No need to reroot if already rooted. No update for Wildfire; sorry.

I would donate if unrevoked would actually promise to work on the wf but so far they have said nothing
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Have you got a mail adr.? then i'll ask if they are willing....
I'll donate $10 via paypal no problem! ...... hopefully we get enough people!
It should be clear though! Will it be a reward open to all? not to be disrespectfull but are unrEVOked the only people who can do this?
I posted before, we can donate a phone with this money and the risk is the phone is bricked and we are back to the start, no phone to test and no money.
Just my 2 cents ..... but this is a good idea which I hope moves in the right direction.
The guys at unrEVOked have done a great job so far and I'm sure they will do their best to find a solution for wildfire users....and yes there is always the risk of the phone getting bricked.
Those who dare.....
How can we let them know what we've started?????

we cant expect unrevoked to promise us. firstly we should remember that they are giving the software for us freely. they are just relying on the donations, which are also not mandatory.
yes they kept quiet all these months and it the mistake made by them. atlast few days back they responded that they dont have wildfire to experiment with. this makes us to think about the donations. presently they are responding to wildfire requests and it is a good sign. we can expect them to root wildfire in the coming near days.
if u see their IRC CLIENT webpage, there is something written on the top, which is
DONOT ASK FOR BUZZ ROOT.
which means that they knew the demand of wildfire root
yesterday they have given this on twitter,
We're always keeping an eye out for ways to root the new Wildfire devices. No news yet - we'll post here when we have info.
18 hours ago
new wildfires in the sense wildfire with froyo hboot 1.01 (and not the wildfire s). who expects them to root WILDFIRE S (official gingerbread) in a present situation like now which is not even released till now.
so unrevoked are looking for each and every oppurtunity to root wildfire. they knew the demand of wildfire root. check out their facebook page for the wildfire requests made to them.
LINK TO THEIR IRC CLIENT:
go to the following link and see FAQs / where can i get support
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/unrevoked3
PHP:
QUESTION:Where can I get support?
ANSWER:As an experiment, we'd like to redirect users to our IRC channel for support. If you have an IRC client already, connect to irc.freenode.net, channel #unrevokedtest – if you don't, then that's OK; you can use Freenode's web IRC client. We'd love to hear from you! Also, the wonderful folks from #unrevokedtest have written up an excellent wiki chock full of guides and help for EVO users – well worth a visit.
the direct link will be: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=unrevokedtest
THEY WILL SOON ROOT WILDFIRE. LETUS BE LITTLE PATIENT AND CONTRIBUTE TO THEM.

i have got no mail adress of them. PROGRAMMERS like unrevoked wont just distribute their mail adresses. i doubt if u search the net for a complete day, even then u may not find it.
u cannot get their mail adress unless u know someone in their team, or someone in common to u both.
we need not ask them whether they are willing to root wildfire or not. we just need to check out their twitter, facebook etc profiles regularly.
they already updated their status on wildfire. they are willing to work on it.
remember wildfire is in the list of supported devices by unrevoked.
they will do that once they get a wildfire. if once they have got it, i hope then only it will be a matter of few days, and not weeks and months. they will make use of every oppurtunity for wildfire root.

thanks for ur feedback.
i know many people are fearing about the phone getting bricked.
yes, suppose if we have made up the money, donated them, they purchased a new wildfire to experiment. then bricked. if this happens, its really unfortunate. but i believe that they will work more carefully as they know the present situation. if the phone gets bricked our individual contributions wont go useless. but we need to wait for longer time. As they can return the phone to service center with some expenses.
and let us all think positively in this matter. we have waited for over 4 months and there is no hope for us except unrevoked. so think positively instead of waiting silently for someone to root the phone. lets hope it will be done

Im creating and updating a fresh list of donors. A little bit of confusion out there. People are thinking that this is a thread for those who r willing to donate. But it is not like that. The donors list is for those who had already donated to unrevoked. So im starting a fresh donors list again.
hope im very clear now. im clear even before. and now, i even added the donation link of unrevoked to the thread. SO I HOPE THIS CONFUSION WILL NOT REPEAT AGAIN.
I suggest u to read the entire thread again.
and if u had already donated to unrevoked, please post the details again, so that i can add ur name with a fresh start.
apologies for inconvinience.
any suggestions, comments from any members are widely accepted.

Most of you all know that our beloved Amnix or Aman (developer of Xperia roms), does not have his Note working. It fell into water & motherboard needs to be replaced (CPU+GPU etc.), which they are quoting 16000 INR (~295 USD). As per Aman's financial conditions, he is unable to afford that. He somehow managed to build a Rom without device & tested in his friend's Note. So, finally he agreed for creating a Paypal donation account & he is now temporarily using his close friend's Paypal account till he gets his own (will get it within 10-15 days after receiving PAN number). So, whoever loved Aman's Roms or want to appreciate his work by a donation, please do so.
Since, Indians cannot donate to another Indian through Paypal, they will have to transfer the donation amount to his Bank account directly. So, anyone from India who wants to Donate can contact Aman/AmniX for the Bank details. Others can donate to his Paypal account [email protected].
If we can manage to get his Note repaired, you can expect many more Xperia roms or he may not be able to cook any more roms, as he cannot afford the repair cost/buy a new Note at least till he gets a good job.
P.S.:
1) DONATION IS NOT MANDATORY. IT IS UPTO YOU, IF YOU WANT TO DONATE OR NOT
2) I am posting this on his behalf because he is a good friend of mine (yours too ) & I know his financial condition & can feel for him. I did my job of donation as soon as I got his bank details

Please read the XDA rules and you will see that these specific donation threads are against them (Chapter 8).
However donations up front are not allowed, this forum is about sharing, not about getting paid to do something, that's what your job is for.

And you are exactly doing this: asking for a payment before AmniX would or could continue his work.

This donation campaign isn't really his idea, it was all Xperia Rom user's idea. Myself as well as 10 other people from our Facebook group already donated. We users want more Xperia roms on our Note from him, which isnt possible without a device.

Hmmm..this thread was posted couple of weeks ago by AmniX & removed by mods. Now I again I posted after consulting with mod
We want Aman to continue "Amnix" ROMs. He is the only one who is doing fully experia like ROM, He can't do it without his device. I support this donation thread. He is not asked for any donations. Amnix ROM users want him to work for amnix ROM. We are the one who requested him to start a donation thread. If a dev need any kind of support we can do it within our limits, All of the devs in Xda giving their precious time and effort for the users. We respect it.
Hi Guys, I also want Amnix to keep development on & he is just a higher secondary school student & not earning, but doing a excellent work by making these awesome roms. I have already donated & done my part. Request all others who like his work 2start the donation of whatever amount possible. Good Luck Amnix.
I respect the forum rules & if they allow may be we can continue this thread.
This is a thread initiated by xPeria Z ROM lovers,
With all respect to Mod's, i want this thread to be OPEN.
Please do not close!!
Hi,
I've done my bit. Hope most of us do our bit as we all like this ROM.
Sorry to argue,
I still remember, when i donated for a CM member to buy Galaxy R and build CM for that device, the thread was open and we even reached the goal.
Just saying !!
Good to all, prime it say that translator utilizao that my English is very basic.
Do ria comment going to restatement of the rom base?
Best regards.
---------- Post added at 05:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:36 AM ----------
I forgot, enorabuena this rom, is something different from what we are used to.
Also say, I'm looking for some manual to make the change from the base, but I am a member of Energybean with basic knowledge.

greetings to all
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
http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/q/status:open+exynos,n,z
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
Edit: Transaction ID # 89F56830A9644882H
$365 on eBay (refurbished)

thanks for confirming
Btw since you're german, THIS might be an interesting offer (although I'm not sure about the warranty)
265€ = ~330$ (free shipping within germany)
I'll donate 20€ at the end of the month!
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 ?

I just sent $10... hope that helps !
I'm in for $50
Hey everyone,
just letting you know I was donated another 10€ yesterday, so we're at over 200$ 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.

Ill throw in 25 dollars. Would you like me to donate now? If yes I can do when I get home.
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:
