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

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 ?

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.

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.

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...
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?

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?

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.

Hello, @codeworkx you can buy the 2Sim/4G Version from vickmall. It costs 270€ and the shop is very trustworthy!! Let's hope you will make it and help in the development of this great phone!!

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.

Hab dir ne kleine Nachricht bei PayPal gelassen. Viel Glück im Leben und was du noch gebrauchen kannst!
While other Note5 variants have recieved root/recovery methods, once again Verizon models seem to have been left in the dust.
I dont know about you guys, but I have owned the Note5 since launch, and have been actively checking multiple forums, Waiting for root and possibly a new recovery! I would love to see CM on my phone some day. I know for a fact a few of my friends would be happy to pledge a few dollars each, to the person who can provide a method.
Personally i would like to pledge $10.00 USD to the person who can bring us an easy root/recovery for this device.
I will talk with my group of friends, and see if i can take up a bit more. (im not super rich)
My hope is that this will steamroll with the people on the same system as I, and we can get a few more pledges.
The parameters for the mission:
-Be the first person to create or find a method to achieve the following:
-Successfully obtain Root access from a fully stock SM N920V Note5 Verizon Variant
-Make a post in this thread with Screenshots/photos
-provide full step by step instructions that anyone else reading the forum can follow
-Wait for atleast one member to follow the same method and confirm it works as described on their fully stock device with the SM N920V build.
-Claim your bounty via PM from the pledger(s)
Payment will be processed between each member and the bounty collector via PM on an individual basis.
If you would like to make a pledge, Please make a post in this thread, and make the subject line the amount you would like to pledge.
A huge thank you in advance, from myself, and all the patrons who have dedicated a few dollars to the cause, this means more to us than.... well chances are if you are developing the method, you know how much it means to the community.
If you are a developer, please contact me with details or updates about progress, if you are working on this project.
Additionally, please feel free to post some information about the progress, the community would love to know!

Gentlemen/Ladies, Have faith
Where there is a will, there is a way
- English proverb
All things are possible, such as removing the devices capability to detect root. There just has to be a person to take on the challenge, and reverse engineer or work around the code. Androids Open source nature should play to someones benefit! The terms they use are root prevention. Preventions were meant to be bypassed. if the device shows a black screen and says " device is rooted... etc" then obviously the root has worked, now how do we get past that? Im no programmer/coderninja, but any good ideas from those who are are more than welcome on this thread. Knowledge is power.
Please make sure people see this, if we can gain enough of a following, it will attract the right people for the job!
Thank you all for showing support in this cause thus far. Im updating the thread with pledges now.

I'd also like to put 20 dollars toward this but it has to be permaroot ill put down 10$ for anything removed by reboot. the note 5 is so close to a perfect phone that not having root annoys me so much. Having ad away and drive droid and the multitude of other features that i have grown accustomed to would make this phone perfect.
If it's for at&t as well, I got 20 on it

Thanks for the support thus far guys, Be sure to share it with people you know to have a better chance of making this happen and attracting the right hacker
$20 here.
Throwing $20 pledge unto the pile. How much do you think it'll take to get the right hacker interested?
Roger that!
edit: nevermind, i'll pledge $10 for now, i'd like to see if we can get a full root (preferably that doesn't trip KNOX)
You guys are nuts! You honestly think anybody is going to waste their time and efforts on a "dead" phone for 10 and 20 bucks? What are you, 12? At the very best, whoever takes on this project will render their $700 phone useless through trial and error and may need to go through multiple phones to get it right. It'll probably take the right guy at least a few grand. Nobody is willing to go through that for 10 and 20 bucks, and there aren't enough of us to build up the money we need if we're only pledging $10 . If you REALLY want results, you're going to need to up your ante. I will pledge $500 myself, but that's still not going to cut it. Whoever takes on this project needs at the very least the price of the phone.. Start adding zeros to your numbers people!

Not just money bro. ..you also get bragging rights. ..I remember when the s3 got finally rooted. .he became over night celebrity. .then you have j case who rooted the black phone in under 5 minutes. .that was the phone they claim could not be rooted. ..I understand your point ..but with enough donation we can get our goal. ..it will take time....for now adguard is your best friend, haven't even missed root.
We all know that if someone makes a source code for our device (F/I/S/K/L/A/Z/W8/FD) It will be easier to port it to non-international variants.
And I think that porting from one device to another will be easier too.
Ex:-Note5 to S6 to S6e to S6e+
I have seen many pledge threads(almost every thread i have seen about bounty) making a big breakthrough in porting in XDA.
MODERATOR NOTE: Bounties are not encouraged on XDA, however some have resulted in needed breakthroughs.
A legitimate bounty should be started by someone other than the recipient, preferably an established member of the community. The recipient should be aware of and endorse the bounty and agree to its purpose. A set goal should be announced and totals kept current. No money should be collected up front but pledged to be sent to the recipient's donation link once goal is reached. Please also note bounties should be for significant critical development projects, not to get your favorite developers a new toy....that is what their DONATE link is for.
Please stay within these guidelines.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

By making this bounty I mean no disrespect for free-time developers but I think this will speed up the porting of AOSP based roms for our Galaxy S6 devices.
Some of the many examples available, if you still doubt this you can google for yourself.

I doubt they have even created the source code, or if they have created it properly.
I'll pledge $10.
Where's the link to do that? Or we chip in at the end when someone is finally able to do it?
So you throw cash at a phone without doing research
Then you realize you want some other rom
So you throw cash at $randomperson to fix it
Even if you succeed with that, Samsung who caused this unfortunate situation will ultimately benefit, because people think their phones can get custom Roms.
It is your money, but do you really want that?
Just accept your fate and buy a customer friendly device next time, there are plenty of options where the vendor does not actively hate their customer.

Who said that I didnt know about samsung and their open source friendliness when I bought this device?
I have used 2 of exynos devices and I have developed for one of them
You cant tell that its nearly impossible, It is just hard thats all.
Even minor devices with exynos had gotten working AOSP roms.
So if you dont know better keep your mouth shut and stop discouraging prople.
Community-driven AOSP ROMs are 100% created by multiple developers, not one.
In our case, we would significantly benefit from the work of Note 4 developers(mainly RaymanFX).
1 man getting such bounty while basing on, benefiting from other developers is simply unfair and will most likely piss off other contributors.
If AOSP ROM ever comes to Exynos 7420, the main developer(or OP of such threads) will encourage users to donate to other contributors and users will donate accordingly to their amount of work, as it always have been.
If you can't figure out a proper way to distribute the amount of bounty accordingly to each contributors, I cannot support this kind of bounty.

I just think that this pledging will somehow convince new developers to join this project or it will help make developers working part time in this project some more time and help this device get the trees If you suggest me we can change the thread to be like making a working display driver for exynos 7420?

These *new developers* wouldn't even have an S6 and would have trouble purchasing them.
Fundraising it for well-known Exynos developers such as GeeckoDev or RaymanFX would result much better than a bounty, if they are willing to work on this nightmare Exynos 7420.

So, do you suggest that we can make a fund raiser instead of trying to make the ones with s6 to develop for this device?
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.

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.
