Would you donate for CyanogenMod on the Epic 4G? - Epic 4G General

Simple Question. Would you donate $10 or so to fund the purchase of an Epic for a willing Dev? As far as I know it's feasible (Correct me if I'm wrong), we just need someone with a Epic who knows how and wants to do it.
Anyway, the objective here is to create a list of people willing to donate. We'll see if it's enough to interest someone.
So who's in?
Committed:
ipaq3115 - $10
sporkisfaster - $10+
Bohiti - $10
Neptune5k - $5-10
mttallaczach $20
sauron0101
mxcoldhit
spongaweb $15
viper134 $5
If the big guy does it himself
Pito2k6 $100
Note: I'm thinking, find a trusted dev (preferably from the CM team) and once they've committed, send mulah through paypal
Clarification: The idea is donate enough that someone from the CM team can buy an Epic and work on it.

I'm willing to donate $10 or more depending on other people's willingness.

What's so great about cynogenmod? Please don't bash me, I just don't know what's good about it.

Mainly that it uses the AOSP stuff. Much more of a vanilla feel to it with a lot more integral features than current roms can offer because of the current code available (or lack thereof).

Not really no. I'm very happy with the TouchWiz interface and I need my 4G radio working.

It definitely couldn't hurt. Try to be positive, it seems like we're at a low point in morale here on the boards and development. Maybe this is what we need to get it going again.

I would be willing to donate to the dev that gets this out. Hopefully noob will work on it again.

I would donate $10 to Cyanogen himself. Anyone else, and I (at this time!) can't be sure of their devotion.
I know we'll be sacrificing 4G, but I live in an area that won't have it for quite some time.

I would donate directly to the guy himself, if he posted himself saying he's going to take charge and actually do it.
- Its just going to be Epic!

Yeah, mainly cause CyanogenMod is legendary
But really, it's like pure android like what the nexus phones have. No carrier bloat. Since the days of the G1 it's been the fastest. The little things he adds just make it that much more awesome.

Yeah, same thing. Find someone trusted, not just anybody.
I wouldn't expect anything back from the dev. Other than the promise to get an Epic and attempt it. It is a donation, not like paying someone for the service.
Sent from my superphone using the XDA App

I would donate $100 if Cyanogen himself says he will develop for our Epic.

I would pay $10 if we knew that it would definitely lead to cyanogen mod. Who knows if we will ever get gingerbread on this phone, much less honeycomb.

I belive the best way to get vanilla android on your phone is just to wait a little longer. The Nexus S has practically the same specs as the epic plus there is even a rumored CDMA device coming. I don't think we are very far from Vanilla Gingerbread Phone.
As far as Cyanogen is concerned, no I'm not interested in donating to buy him an Epic.

I would be willing to contribute $5-10 as well.

Whoops, wrong button. Silly xda app

check the miui thread under dev... we are trying to raise money to donate an epic to either cyanogen mod or some other good dev willing to work on the epic.. i will make a thread soon but all donations will help and maybe make us one step closer to cm7/miui.

I smell smokescreen. I mean if the Fascinate can get CM7 running, exactly why not the Epic? They say it's "different" but if you can get CM7 running on the only other CDMA based Galaxy S device, it can't possibly be that hard to get it onto the Epic (keyboard too hard to deal with or something? lol!). They just don't want to try, pure and simple.

[Donation]Atrix 4G MIUI Port

A lot of people have been interested in getting MIUI on the Atrix and FRAMEWORK over at miui.us has stated that he has gotten some progress on this port but is stuck at the point of having no Atrix to test his port on. He is known for porting MIUI to multiple devices. FRAMEWORK said that if he got his hands on the device, it could take a few days to get a working port on our Atrix.
Anyone interested in donating to this dev getting his hands on a Atrix, post on the thread. From there, I guess he will have to set up a way to take the donations or we can put something together. Either ways, this is an awesome opportunity for Atrix users who want a polished and sleek looking ROM.
You have to start it with the necessary half of the phone cost, by XDA rules.

We pretty much have a stable cm7 if I'm not mistaken
Sent from my CM7 ATRIX via XDA Premium App
Our CM7 is stable but is missing camera functionality and few other things. But IMO its stable.. no reboots here
I personally do not think donation threads should be allowed in xda at all without proof of progress. I know he has ported to several devices already, but that is what the donations links on their website is for. I have also seen several threads like this raise hundreds of dollars to get a dev a device and they release one thing and support it for only a week or two and never hear from them again. Just my opinion, I'm not trying to insult anyone.
I tend to agree, donation threads just aren't right. We are moving towards paying devs more and more. at this rate, it will be I won't help unless i get paid this amount. Kinda what this thread is, isn't it. He can't\won't get it done unless somebody buys him a phone. We have done that already at least once here. Maybe that dev would offer up the phone already purchased to this dev so he can do his part, then he can pass it on to the next.....

I completely agree. These donation threads are getting a bit aggressive and we've already been burned once.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
Now that I've read the last few comments, I realize I totally agree as well. When I first saw this thread, I voted Maybe So, because honestly I was like "Yeah, let's get this going so we can get MIUI ASAP!!" but now I'm realizing...it probably won't make it go any faster, and we will really probably have it VERY soon after a full CM7 is released (whenever that is...), and if people want to THEN they can start donating to the guy. But to donate before hand? I didn't realize until just now how foolish that could be!
As Atrix users, we've seen plenty of devs take the loot and then split, so it'd be risky to do that again.
Besides, I've seen on the MIUI site a thread that lists some devices they're working on, and the only things on the Atrix to do list that aren't there are Working CM7 and Working MIUI. I'll go look for a link and bring it back here if anyone wants it
i thought i saw a thread that someone was already working on a miui build

Haha thanks, that saved me some time.
So yeah, I mean it should be said that this ALSO doesn't guarantee MIUI...but at least we know that we should wait for CM7 until anything should really be done.
And milesjohnson makes a good point...instead of buying someone a device for them to use as they see fit, he could perhaps just do the same coding and have others that already have their own device testing it or something.

Most people are just too lazy to follow the members on twitter or keep up with their tweets. It's nothing to get excited about yet. Who knows how long it is going to take them to get us a flashable update anyways. Could be this month, could be 4 months down the road, we just don't know.

Request for hascode

Hey hashcode I know you have many other projects going on, but I was wondering if there is any chance you would help out with the HTC amaze. I a, in the Georgia army national guard and would be willing to contribute at least 100 dollars seeing as I am being deployed here shortly. The source code was just released and I would kill for AOSP because I cannot stand sense. If not I understand. I just thought I would give it a shot seeing the great work you've done with the fire.
This is more appropriate for a PM.

No disrespect to Hashcode but I believe he has a different mobile device that he's producing for. And he's already pioneered change for the kindle fire, there are other devs that have worked on the Amaze and made great progress, like EclipzeRemix has made some awesome AOSP based ROMs for the Amaze. =] You should try them.

Atrix 4g thanks and donation

Hey guys, long time reader although never really posted much. Over the next few days I'll be getting my new phone in the mail and begin setting that up. I wondered what to do with this phone that has been made great thanks to the devs here. So I'd like to donate it to one of those devs who has put in a lot of hard work for the good of this community. I remember reading a while back that some of them only have photons and just change some code around. I figured it might help everyone out by donating to one of those guys. It's the least I can do considering I've been using ICS and JB since they came out thanks to everyone here, not Motorola lol. If anyone could suggest a dev or if one of you see this yourself just send me a pm. It might be a week or two but the phone is in great shape still! Thanks guys again for all the great work. Oh last thing, I'd prefer that you be in the US if possible just so the shipping isn't outrageous. Thanks!

Us people who want to donate should definitely get together so we make sure all the awesome developers have an atrix to work with!

Joker doesn't have one either.
Don't forget epinter. He already has an Atrix but I'm sure he could do a lot more of his "magic" with a second one, specially if this one has a different tegrapart.

Let's also not forget mmontuori, he also has one already but now he's working on a new experimental ROM which he said is becoming increasingly more difficult since he needs his phone for normal everyday stuff too...
But anyway, I agree Th3Bill is probably the best candidate. Joker would be a good one too if he was still active, and to my knowledge all other devs have at least one already. Hmmm... maybe faux123 too? Dunno if he has one or is he even still interested in working for the Atrix...
May vote goes to mmontuori. He kindly ask for second Atrix

Everyone, try to think about who is the most deserving and what makes the most sense. Not what serves your own interests.
Shipping a used device to South Africa for mvniekirk doesn't make much sense. Shipping would probably cost more than the device is worth. You don't pay shipping on PayPal donations, so support him that way.
Joker is AWOL and has been for months. He is certainly worthy of the donation, but might not even use it.
So it really comes down to Th3Bill or mmontuori (since he requested one and is certainly worthy).
Either way, thanks peej8991 for being so generous.
