Support Android4Autism with your old device - Epic 4G General

As I proceed with my Android4Autism plans I need to have an idea of the types of devices people are willing to donate. I may have to outsource ROM development depending on the device and whether or not I have time to put a working ROM together for each type.
So as the EVO 3D and GSII prepare for launch what will you be doing with your old device? Perhaps you have an old Hero or even a Moment. If you are willing to support this cause please indicate what device you are willing to or able to donate.
Remember the status of the ESN does not matter. These device will NOT be activated. They need to be in "decent" and working condition. Remember these are going to go into the hands of special needs kids so they do need to be perfect.
Also, I can use micro sd cards (any size) and phone cases. Extra battery chargers would be welcomed.
Please indicate in the poll what you are able to or willing to donate. I'm not ready to receive any donations yet so please just hang on to them and maybe shoot me a PM with your pledge and email address so I can contact you when I'm ready.

That would be so cool. Plus they shouldn't shoot down the idea it's for an amazing cause ..that's a great idea Rob im sure they'll be glad to do this.

I vote for this to stay at the top. I'm sure people will be more than willing to donate( I would but I don't have any other smartphones, and I can't upgrade yet).
Sent from the only thing i need.

I haven't totally decided when im gonna upgrade ... but when I do upgrade, I plan on donating my old moment (giving my dad my Epic when I upgrade) to you. I wish I could give you a better idea/time frame, but I don't know how long it will be.

OpenGL Fix: Fully Working Live Wallpapers, Gallery3D ~Updated~

zifnab posted the zip at http://www.zifnab06.net/2010/04/working-lwp-for-droid-eris-and-possibly-other-devices/
I am done with Eris dev work, unless I happen upon root for leak.
http://www.zifnab06.net/2010/04/something-big-coming/
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDNYCAjhRJM
*update Galaxy LWP working
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lz02PDdkK2c
Just a tease for y'all. Zifnab and I hacked this up tonight.
Notice no USB cord? Notice phone going to sleep on it's own? Notice the lack of connection because my Eris is a POS and has a bad radio.
Yes thats nexus one lwp full working, in nexus launcher (launcher2), with an unpatched Gallery3D with rotation working.
Yes 3D is no longer an issue on our phone.
PS My rooted eris is now officially dead, there will be no more dev work from me unless I can obtain a replacement.
that is freaking AWESOME, ill keep an eye out for the release.
but on the other hand it sucks that ur eris finally bit the big one..
on another note tho where the hell can i get that live wallpaper. I CANT FIND IT!
i got about 13 other live walls..but that one.
That live wallpaper is one of the previous non working ones. Hence why this is special. You can get it out of our next release.
As always, http://www.zifnab06.net for more details
we still need to rewrite the lwps to work more smoothly.
this poor underclocked processor cant handle these bad boys all that well. but this is a great start

Well to further the cause, if you are in the states, I could use my warranty on your phone. Its not locked down to my serial or anything. It will cost 75$ to replace, maybe get some donations from here to help me pay for it . And its not the Verizon one, its through squaretrade. If you want me to look further into it, send me a PM and we can talk more.

What is AOSP??

Its freaking Source Code! Not a ROM, or a ROM that has removed apks and pushed prebuilt apks form a nexus one into an update.zip!!
http://source.android.com/
sorry about the rant, i just don't want n00bs ignorantly throwing the acronym around for ROMs that aren't BUILT from AOSP.
I hope i put this in the right section Mods, i wasn't sure whether it should be in the Q&A because I already had the answer .

Darch, just want to say I'm sorry about the mis-communication over the "get darch an evo fund", I felt like **** when you finally pm'd me
I think it's time we do it again. You would obviously be a tremendous asset to the EVO community and yahweh knows you deserve it!
Does anyone want to take on the charge? Should I do it again?
What say you guys?
*edit- not promoting fraud but I will say this: if you report a lost phone to asurion and get a replacement they do NOT blacklist the esn.. just saying
@darchstar: as AOSP is a software stack would it be acceptable to then say that all roms are built ON TOP of the AOSP system?
i am guilty of your claims and look to correct myself
Wasn't there a thread awhile back for a donation to buy you an EVO? I thought they reached the goal but I didn't follow it much past that really.

Yes, we raised the money. I couldn't get ahold of darch for like 2 weeks and like a complete asshole I assumed he had lost interest or decided to stick with his Hero. I didn't know how long I had to issue refunds without being charged a penalty and I didn't want to piss all the donators off
Again, I'm really sorry darch
I still got $30 on it if we want to do it again.

To all my EVO users

First off thanks for all the support. It has been a very cool few months I learn alot here from all you guys. I just got the 3D today and don't have an EVO any more but I will keep on helping out ppl here and try to do as much as I can to help porting.

I hear you get 150 for your evo so final price is I guess based on how much sprint gives you the phone for on an upgrade.
I feel so sorry for all these devs who are investing in the ****tie 3D but fail to realize when new releases from Sprint comes later in July to September, it'll blow their kiddie spy phone out the water. Plus they just blew their upgrade. . oh well.
Farewell devs, you've been well appreciated.

Why copy and paste this crappy statement in the threads over and over?
Chubbz thanks for all you brought to the EVO and all you will bring to the 3d.
The 3d is far from a crappy phone. I really hope you stop using other devs work with this attitude. Honestly, you can't comprehend the amount of time it takes to develope a ROM you use free... And if a dev wants to say good bye to those who they have become friends with, let them. Certainly don't appreciate or need comments like this around here. What have you contibuted? Thought so.

I'm at my 1 year upgrade but they said is only $75 off the retail price so it will cost my $475 plus I have to sign a 1 year contract. Also I'm on my 4th replacement in a month but they also won't let me switch to another phone since they say none is comparable....i talked to management and fought and fought for an hour and for nothing.....
Also didn't know they did trade-ins either, no one at Sprint offered me that....

I figure this is a xda forum between friends, and I have enjoyed these threads just for the "human element" they contain. We all appreciate the labor of love that developers put into their roms, and when they feel the desire to say goodbye to their friends, acquaintances, and flash addicts it is good for the community.
IMO, ignoreance is greater than dissidence.

Just got off the phone with my local corporate store:
I'm eligible for the 1-year upgrade discount (currently 1 year into my 2 year contract). So, if I was looking into getting the 3D right now, it'd be 550-150 (Evo trade-in credit) - 75 (1-year upgrade credit) = $325 + Contract renewal for the 3D. Think I'll wait for a drop in price. Either that, or flip the EVO on Craigslist.

I have been here on xda for awhile so I received alot of knowledge from the devs and flashers so I decided to say thanks and move on to bigger and better things. The reason why ppl put a donation or buy me a beer link is because ppl asked for a link it not required.
Thanks all.
thanx Chubbz,thanx Leo,thanx to all the devs.This is what owning an Android phone is all about.These guys push our devices as far as they can go.They give us variety at the cost of their time and money.Its a cycle,waiting for more and better.

Idea: Lets pool resources and offer a reward!

Ok, not sure if this is going to be cool with the moderators or not, so if not, lock/delete it. I have an idea...let's encourage the devs to spend a bit more time looking at the EVO Shift...by offering up a cash incentive to the first person or team that gets us properly rooted on Gingerbread. Maybe offer to Paypal them some cash? i know I'd chip in. Heck, right now I'll say I'll paypal $50 to the first person or team that gets me rooted. If everyone chipped in, even a few bucks, it could really add up and create an incentive...

I haven't heard about anyone working on it. I believe they are working on it for other devices.
Throw me down for $50 as well.
So, we've got $100 already...come on...lets offer some incentive for the devs to come back to the EVO Shift for a while...
Im telling you the devices they work on are related to the shift and they can port the same methods. They are already working on the shift and other devices related to it
So, therefore us offering a reward helps not only Shift owners but others too. Fantastic!
count me in! I desperatyl need to get rid of 2.3 because mobilenet doesnt compatible with my metropcs flash! so ill throw 25-50 sumthing in between!

I remember the same talk regarding rooting 2.2.... everyone saying no one was working on it and then BAM! Root.
The thing is development doesn't get done on XDA. When it's done it gets posted to XDA. Just because you don't see it happening doesn't mean it ain't. Imagine you're a dev: Would you post that you're working on it if you're unsure if you can do it? It'd accomplish nothing but dissapointment.

reward
Last i checked theres a reward offer in the Evo forum also. It was up to 300 i think a couple days ago.
Nice! Hopefully once one is rooted, either one, the other one will be that much easier.
I know it is fustrating to wait I am among the many waiting for the same thing. That being said you never hear what the developers are working on because they dont want to give off any clues to htc as to what they are doing so HTC dont send a silent OTA to seal up any exploits that may gain root for us. But to the team that does get the job dont I will be donating to them definatly I cant wait to get my hotspot back for my Iconia Tablet when I am on the road.

Thanks for being real. I feel the same way bro. I feel your pain. But I am not surprised. Maybe some of the guys can ask Lonny Claus for his version of gingerbread. I am on the naughty list so I won't be getting gingerbread but others who are on the nice list can or maybe we can wait for the Lonny Bunny but our best chance is to ask the Great Lonny next Halloween for gingerbread by that time we will have an official gingerbread while everybody else will be on Jellybean.

Thanks Steve. I didn't know that was the case. I thought several users here had access to it.
I am so disgusted with SamSprint it is disgusting. The worst part yet is that I feel that I have no options. I like Samsung technology (specifically the large AMOLED screen in combination with the physical QWERTY), but with attitude that Samsung and Sprint have in releasing software updates (the attitude of I got your money already), it is REALLY discouraging. I wish we had other options because I would GTFO of this phone QUICK and never buy another Samsung phone again.
ALSO, all of this in combination with Samsung and Sprint's complete lack of communication on the matter. No status updates, confirmations, NOTHING. SOOOOOOOOOO tired of this business model, and nothing on the horizon that looks better.
The Galaxy S is an awesome phone no matter which variant you have. Yes we don't get the up dates as quick as we should, I put it on the carriers(refer to the I9000 section on samfirmware and you'll see what I mean). If they'd let some members of xda do their updates they'd be a lot stablier and out faster.

It is pretty clear from all of the posts that I have read, that getting GB from his phone is nothing short of a lost cause.
That said, we shouldn't need to do this kind of reverse engineering crap to get the software off his phone to get it to the people that want it.

I am sorry that you think it is ok for companies (Sprint/Samsung) to treat THEIR CUSTOMERS this way. You know, the same customers who pay the salaries of the employees of their respective companies???
I am also sorry that you don't find this ridiculous delay, and this non-communication as acceptable, and as something that doesn't warrant complaining.
Instead, you chose to complain about my post. Good use of your time. It is YOUR passive attitude which is what allows these exact delays to occur. GOOD JOB!
BACK ON TOPIC:

Funny thing is, if you pacifists would actually read what I post, you would see that I am not even necessarily asking for GB tomorrow. I would be thrilled just to get some communication from these companies. Stop keeping the PAYING CUSTOMERS in the dark. Let us know what is going on.
If more people spoke up, maybe these companies would change their tune a little, but nooooooooooo, people are ok with not getting updates in a timely fashion, with no communication from the companies that will ultimately provide said update.
Unless GB is gonna make my phone physically do my job for me I don't see it as that big of a deal. The devs have made this phone kick ass but in essence its just a phone that's fun to mod. I just don't get all the anger. Besides that I'm running eh17 with one of the new kernels from source and it is running great. (Although it still doesn't do my job for me)

Your complaing in a development fourm isn't going to do anything for you if your upset that sprint/samsung does not give you timely updates to your phone. Try complaining in the sprint/samsung fourms, it might help your cause a litttle more.

I have personally written to both companies (actual paper and stamp). I am just one person. If more and more people did it (even just demanded communication), things would change.

I had to lol at the job still not being done for you. Now there's a real challenge for the devs.

Spoke up to WHO? XDA Developers forum?
And no one is keeping anyone in the dark. We weren't guaranteed ANYTHING. We have been getting leaks (read: unofficial builds), and that's it. Nothing has been announced. We'll get it when we get it. Were we even TOLD we were getting Gingerbread by both Sprint and Samsung? I don't think so. We are all speculating release dates, 2.3.x builds, playbook leaks, etc.
