Hi all.
Been in discussion with the others and apphoen will transfer the funds to me this week. We will (if all goes to plan) be buying either 1 Ameo (near new for £425.00) with 12 months guarantee from a shop (known very well to myself - have done a lot of business with them). I say near new because the Unit is not in an unopened box from T-Mobile, but as far as I know it is in great condition (I will inspect and test it myself thoroughly ).
As the Euro fund stands at around 790 or thereabouts, this only equates to around £531. Not a great start for the next device, but at least the development on a CID/Sim unlocker can begin.
Unfortunately as you are all well aware, in order to get the 2nd device for our ROM cooker Midget, we will have to raise more money as we may have to pay full price (worst case scenario), but I will try within the same shop (franchise) to see if they have other units at their other branches across the country. They had an X7500 a month ago, but I didn't pay much attention as we hadn't started the project.
I prefer to deal with an establishment with a 12 months guarantee and a place I can physically take any potential device back to, if the need should arise. E-bay is great, but personally I like to buy expensive equipment from places where I can return it in person should I need to.
Any objections?
If not, we may have our first Unit this week. As I said...Blow the original supplier with his cheap prices...he was a time-waster and our contributors wasted no time in donating to this cause, therefore it is only right that we don't allow anyone else to hold up progress.
So thanks to all contributors thus far, apphoen, boinger66, ltxda, Midget, Olipro and others who I have neglected to mention. Thanks for your dedication and and hard work. We'll get it done.
Meanwhile you can contribute to the new paypal account which I setup a week ago or so..it's verified and good to go. Why another one, you ask?
Because I'm based in the UK and so are the developers. So I can quickly purchase a device and send off to the devs as soon as I get a Unit (same day special delivery). No other reason. Another contributor can take this responsibility on if there are any objections. But if there are none....you can count on me to do my best for the benefit of us all.
Between apphoen, boinger66 and myself, we are finalizing the mailing system...been a long time coming, I know. But once established it will serve us well in keeping all contributors updated about progress and also any problems developers might face.
Anyway...that's enough waffle from me.
I'll be in touch.
Please don't PM me unless it somehow contributes to the project...just until both devs have their units. It takes me a long time to answer all these PM's and not all are relevant to what we are trying to achieve. I need to stay focused as I have to work for a living too. Hope no one takes offense to this...it's not intended to.

Cool.....let's Rock and Roll!!!
A bit slower than hoped for, but no more than 5 days
OK thanks for your support guys. Funds should now hit my account within 5 working days or sooner and I'll get straight to it...no delaying.
Got another member willing to sell his brand new Insurance replacement Ameo...just trying to come to an agreement on best price.
Either way..as soon as I'm in receipt of the funds, 1 Ameo will be sent off within an hour of buying it. (Will test it first though ).
Still need more donations people, nothing has come through as yet.
If you guys feel more comfortable in donating direct to Midgets paypal account (in his signature), let us know here, that is no problem for me This means he can get one directly as he's next in line for a device after our CID/Sim unlocker 'OliPro'. It's all been discussed and agreed with the devs, as we need these solutions before any cooking can take place.
Let me know peeps...I'm not that hot with paypal stuff anyhow.
It's coming along but we need donations please, to make it come together.
Hi all.
Been in discussions with some of the others including our developer Midget_1990. We agree that it is best for future donations to go straight to Midget's paypal account, but he will set up a dedicated account just for this purpose...to get one Ameo/Advantage or Dopod.
Sorry about mucking you all about, but as there haven't been any donations since the last announcements, it will be easier to donate directly to him. If he can't get a Unit cheap enough, he will transfer the funds back to me to buy him an Athena through the contacts built up through this community or my personal channels. Either way things are moving forward for sure.
Not much else to say right now except that I'm liaising with a few peeps out there for devices and we'll let you know when we've actually got one.
No we haven't forgotten the list at all, it's just that everyone's so busy with work that it hasn't all come together as yet...but it will, especially where it counts most of all...development progress.
P.S. Please be assured, absolutely no-one is benefiting personally from this in any way except when we all share in the end result of this venture.
Hi, just set up the email + paypal account, click the button below
As usual I will provide a list of all donators + amounts so we can keep track, an athena will cost around £420 so lets aim for that!

Nice one Midget_1990. You'll also get the remainder of the funds after the purchase of the 1st Ameo next week. I'll send it via paypal to you account & donate some myself to get this kickstarted again.
C'mon guys were almost there! Development has already started with our devs guys and some of our xda members with regards to SIM unlocking...were just not publicising anything yet until it's a safe and useable solution for all.
We need your money.
P.S. Midget_1990 can you please add the new Doantion code to your signature please? ....just until we have the required funds for the 2nd Athena. Just in case new potential contributors do not see this thread/post? Cheers matey.

C'mon friends we need your support...again
Just donated £20 to help get this kickstarted again.
Thanks for being swift about setting things up Midget. I like the fact that one can also pay by Debit or Credit card.
Yeah, as i said ages ago if you set it up as a non-profit organisation then you can accept direct card payments, no need for an account

Funds are here...
OK all. Funds are cleared in my account £522.98
We're giving the waste of time supplier one more opportunity to come up with the goods and report something positive today, by 2.00 P.M. GMT, else the purchase of another Ameo will be going ahead...no more time-wasting!
Thanks for your patience all and please keep contributing. So far we will have a minimum of £180.00 towards the 2nd Athena if original supplier (with cheapest prices) falls through again. This is based on the remainder of funds with me after a purchase of £400.00 and including contributions Midget has already received.
So either way, we are on target. We'll keep you informed. There will be an update later today.
Update over at the Athena Project
Hi all. There's an update over at the Athena Project (link in my signature). Xda is running very slow for me today...don't know if anyone else is having the same problem?
Anyway it's all good so far. Won't repeat the update here again...too much to do...too little time.
nobody is interested in this?
28.43 can hardly get an athena

I do not understand the current fiscal situation. Mackaby007 wrote "So far we will have a minimum of £180.00 towards the 2nd Athena", so I am a bit puzzled here...
Hi all.
Today we have purchased our first device for our developer Olipro...Midget is soon to follow.
The unit cost £425.00 no managers about to give me a discount. But the Ameo is mint )
After sending it insured to Olipro tomorrow morning, it should be with him by this Saturday morning. The balance of the funds then will be shown here, but sent straight to Midgets Paypal account to kickstart the donations for Midget's device...
Please guys & gals we really need your support again. If you can donate anything, it all helps. Don't mean to *****, but if fellow member 'antivirus' hadn't strung us along from the start, I think we may have already had our results.
Instead he has caused us to keep shifting the goal post and pushing progress back..anyway we've moved on now.
The balance of what's left should be about £120.00 or more..but I'll donate again to help get things moving again.
Donate to the special link in Midgets signature. Cheers.
If you can...please donate for Midgets device as with your help we have already got Olipros device.
Thanks again all for your help and support in getting this realised.
Mark
Yes, I can say this whole Antivirus/Reiner debacle has been a major bloody pain in the arse, I would go as far to say there was never any Athenas, the whole thing has been a sham to string us along with alterior motives unknown; possibly to get in touch with members of the community, who knows, either way, the whole thing stunk of bull****, right up to the fact that he claimed to have posted the device off and said he's "scan in" the tracking code... honestly, it's no problem to type the code out.
anyway, there's my two cents, clearly this guy doesn't know the meaning of courtesy or business, so, there we go.
antivirus (german user) was involved here?
if only i would have known....
he told so much ****, postet that much weird stuff on the biggest german ppc forum that every german user could haven warned you. of course that doesn't automatically mean that he's a liar or whatever, but i know this guy just posts fake stuff and is a total pain in the ass. sry to say that, i didn't know he was involved in this project.

Well all's well that ends well. Cheers zwuncki.
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.

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

Hi Guys,
I am fairly certain that many of you will have been as frustrated as I am about LeEco's response to our requests for the source code for our devices. Many of us have been met with we did not release the phone to the US market so please contact the 3rd Party seller. You and i know that this is an unacceptable stance and in breach of the GNU etc.
I think it's time for all frustrated owners to show LeEco what we think of their stance, and take a stance of our own as many of us have already started to do, and see if we can twist their arm a bit. The best way in my opinion is to hurt the company where it hurts most, and that's in the pocket and in the public eye. I therefore recommend that all users go to their face book account and leave a review of 1 star and explain why. Making sure you also mention our device in the comments section. This is bound to hurt and just over the last day i have seen their review score drop a few points. Now if everyone who signed the petition did this they would likely have a score near 1 out of 5. Which is roughly what I would give their service just now.
I have also been instructed by Lemall.US to email their opensource team a request to release the code which I have done and hope many will take time out to do the same.
Keep in mind we have been treated completely different to the buyers of the CN model who seem to get endless updates. While we get BS!
All of these reviews can be changed in the future if they release the source code and let us be free of their crappy, malware firmware.

Seems to be definitely working, now at 87 one star reviews and certainly LeMall US Team have taken notice, but we must keep the pressure up.
48 hours have now passed and 49 reviews by US X800 Users.
What can we achieve at this rate in the next 48 hours?.
This is awesome considering the Campaign is in its infancy and only went live on a few other sites last night so hopefully it will pick up exponentially over the next few days. Like the petition on change.org did.
We need to try and aim for at least another 63 reviews, so that we equal their 5 star reviews and they will hit the 2.5 rating, but obviously the more the better, so keep on spreading the word.
Still no further news from LeEco since this morning and not so much as an acknowledgement from le.opensource. But i am in communication with them in all channels and not giving up.
I honestly believe we are not far from cracking this.
I will keep everyone updated with any new developments as soon as I hear.
Awesome effort so far guys!
Respect!
Thanks for putting effort into LeEco finally giving us the source code.
Just posted a 1 star review. Currently it seems they are on a 4,0 star average with 772 votes.
We need more votes!

Hahaha, leeco is treating it's costumers like we're toddlers ! They removed two threads that i posted on their website http://forum.le.com/us/index.php?forums/technical-discussion.26/
I've got them back from Google cache but i can't post them on their FB because i don't use FB to let people know how touchy this company is.
And such a company tries tol make it in US and Europe, with this attitude they can forget it !
