We had a bounty for bubby to get the money to buy our phone. And I remember there was one guy who (was awesome!!) donated over $200 as well as gave bubby a computer for him to work on.
I have been following bubby on his twitter and it doesn't seem that he's working on our phone. He's working every day but just not on our phone, not at all.
But, by simply looking at his twitter it's not entirely clear whether he is or not working on our phone. I hope it's just me that read it wrong.
Edit:
Several people confirmed that he's working on his Epic 4G Touch, not our phone. He has not posted a single twit regarding anything he has done / is doing / is considering doing for our phone. He has not been responding to my questions on twitter, and people have been saying he either dance around when asked about our phone or not respond at all.
Edit:
I know the concept that a donation is a donation and is not like you are paying for something, but...
Edit:
While he has not developed a thing for any phone other than his own Epic 4G Touch, he has been asking for donation for numerous other phones. We should probably interfere and refer the people in other forums (potential victims) to this thread.
Edit:
Just a thought, whoever donated, are you able to charge it back through your credit card company with a reason of "service not delivered"? If you are lucky maybe you can get your money back? I know it's a "donation" but bubby did promise in the bounty thread to deliver lots of stuff, he even said he already got ICS booted etc and played us with "here's a bunch of goodies coming up from me just donate to me and stay tuned" ****.
If your following him on twitter you already know the answer to your question.

Lmao, how pathetic.
Hard lesson learned for those involved? Sure.
Kick in the balls from his part? Absolutely.
How is that not 100% theft? Atleast fundamentally.
To the laptop owner, has he sent that back?
By looking at his twitter it's not exactly clear whether bubby is or not working on our phone. Can someone else share some opinion?

We have the same info as you, dude.
The thread you referenced: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318854&page=8
And his Twitter. Ask him directly for a 'better answer' but, I think he's made it pretty clear he doesn't know wtf he's doing.

an undesrieable leech...
Its sad but truthfully some can be misleading as we all know. What is done here is in fun hobby and practice...to donate is great and needed....but only after said item has been created...
Moral wise...f ya its wrong and ill never support his present or future work.
Reality .... he probably cares less and can only verbally be punished....I think much more in order such as ban of account or other....
To mislead and not give up what was given....well some can be gutter trash here but hopefully not to long........

Wow. I'm definitely glad that I didn't donate. I'd only donate to devs that I can vouch for, like Faux, Slayher, etc. Hopefully Bubby didn't violate any of you guys who has donated. Maybe he's working on something big.

I think its effed up especially after just reading what mickeycobra04 posted about other thread. **** is nuts well deja vu if u wanna get technical. And the crazy part is right when the s2 came out he made stock kernel tar the stock recovery and i think a few other things. He basically reeled everybody in so they would know he wasnt just a nobody and could develop a little then he says cm, ics, asop and that rite there was like music to our ears so we start donating and he stays active. Then after some time he gets his phone and a laptop! And posted like 2 times since. Now i know everyone has lives and **** like that but cmon bro its been a month maybe a little less. Bring something to the table man it aint cool.

at the risk of being a **** to a 15 year old kid, let me try to help you understand. if you go over to the fascinate/continuum forums and ask them about bubby, you will hear nothing good about the kid. he has been making promises to android users for a while now, and RARELY coming through with anything more than a system dump or a stock kernel here and there. i know its said that donating with expectations isnt donating, but in the android community, why do people donate? we want to see someone make **** happen. well, this kid is a talker and not a doer. i donated to help get roman his gs2, i was rewarded with jugs(kernel), and juggernaut(rom). in the future, people should do a little more research before they dive in and give a person(15 year old kid) money for a phone, or a laptop.
He is in the skyrocket forums asking for donations also. I hate to say it but I seriously think he is in the wind folks. Its sad because this will prevent people from donating to serious developers. I have a corporate T-mo account and we got 25 galaxy s2's as a promo and he begged me for one of them and I was very close to sending him one in the beginning but thank god my very smart wife told me I'd be crazy to send some kid that I dont know from adam a 600 dollar phone. Well live and learn and just hope that maybe he will still come thru. But not looking to likely. Hell team kang has released 3 roms since Bubby supposedly got his phone.

bubby wont use a tester on anything "valuable". hes a gloryhound. everyone should follow his tweeter and see his ridiculous tweets. its comedy.
http://twitter.com/#!/bubby323xda
I think that those that whove donated should bomb the Skyrocket, Epic and whatever else thread Bubby frequents towards get the message across. Post the links of these threads that shows proof of Bubby not delivering what he claim he'd deliver and maybe he'll answer.

He says he will fulfill his obligation to finish our recovery. The point I'd like to make is that people need to backup off developers and just let them work.
This is happening far too often.

I feel for him because I know what it's like from developing a MUCH MUCH smaller app, it gets very annoying.
At the same time though, I hate seeing these posts and how the devs let the community get them so worked up, we're all human but things like this you need to be able to deal with and know they will happen.
Hope the dev can enjoy his holidays and
He's definitely getting a donation from me when we get TWRP. No question.

I feel like the ET4G users are more grateful after reading that. I mean, that ICS thread had almost or over $2k in pledges. I'm sure he will be happy with how our community, for the most part, acts and reacts after he releases.
Anyone else know immediately that it was Agraben as soon as they saw Teamwin mentioned?
I "kinda" feel for the guy, but he's always been very much of a "loves to dish it out, but can't take it" kinda guy.
When Team Alpharev or whatever beat them out for s-off on the HTC devices, he about had a meltdown.
He went full-hostile to pretty much the world for a while (on Twitter, at least), so much that the rest of Teamwin was doing the "we don't know this guy" dance for a bit.
Either way, though, I don't wanna wish anyone bad news, so I hope he gets it all worked out, because he's very much a hell of a developer, one of the best. (And it's very right-on for him to fulfill his obligations.)
He wrote they only received $500 on the hdmi port. I thought there was a bounty for that. I don't remember the amount but I think it was larger than $500. I will try to confirm but if it is true, than another bounty that failed.

Which is why bounties need to be done away with completely. Some people seem to pledge just to see the amount get high enough that it will "light a fire" under the devs. Then, when the product is released, they don't follow through on their pledge, but use the product anyway.
I know that the other members from team win haven't been so active and we may be witnessing the end. Heck one of them posts about how much he likes his I phone

I follow Agraben on twitter, I have noticed his tweets getting more and more crazy! I think part of the problem is everyone was riled up and ready for TWRP2 when he saw the communities excitement he began to add more devices to TWRP2. Daily he would tweet about adding another device whether it was a phone or tablet, his work load was growing. I began to see TWRP2 never being released due to endless device adding, lol. Then I saw the tweet where he wanted $/donations to pay for 1/2 the new Galaxy Nexus, I dont think that panned out to well and it seems he bought the device anyway. That would be enough to tick any one of our wives off! And we all know it the wife isnt happy, neither are we, lol. If he had dropped the recoveries he had for the devices that were ready 2 months ago, things may be a bit different. People might be riled up to send some donations that way, but the endless device adding got everyone down, myself included.

I would think he brings in a good check, but thats still $750 two weeks before Christmas.
Whoops, wrong thread indeed LOL.
Its a fine line that many dev's have to walk; one side of them loves to work on new devices and the challenge of getting something to work on a device can be very intoxicating..On the other hand, it takes away from your personal life, and, eventually, the moochers, leechers, and the folks who feel they are entitled to everything and anything for free just because the registered of a web forum, drives away the creative, sharing folks who make the great software that we get to play with on our phones..
Frankly, even if he got paid for all the things he has developed for smartphones, it wouldn't make a differences, because, the first jerk bait, who complains about having to wait for an update, would just set him off again..
Any dev posting stuff on XDA, has to think about how they will deal with all the obnoxious ass wipers who seem to have overrun what used to be a fun, and exciting place to interact with others; its not just XDA that has this issue now, its pretty much every "Free" web forum that offers software and programs for anyone who can figure out how to register..
Maybe a "membership fee" type site, would help keep some of the worst, most obnoxious, douchebags out??

Alright guys this is our shot to get a GOOD/Well Known developer that sticks to one device only (read below) to our FORUMS.
Im talking about Eugene373, he is willing to come to our side if a phone shows up at his porch lol
If you read below, a used device (good condition) would be good and yea... read what he himself said below
eugene373 said:
Let's be clear on a few things here...
I make no promise, other than to work on it...
Also, the device should be used!!!! Money doesn't grow on trees!!!
But, also in good shape, as it would be my primary device as everyone that knows me, knows I'm a 1 device kinda guy.
If every can handle these terms & don't expect eta's, then count me in.

Does seem quite promising
You know it wouldn't be so bad if he did do a little deving an then left, but he literally takes everything with him when he leaves, then falls off the planet for a while.. but don't get me wrong, when the guy dev'ed he did a badass job, literally was the first person to bring us Gingerbread for the Vibrant, I'm just tired of (and I know others are too) investing money into a "hmm I'll stay, then leave, then maybe come back" dev.
Lol look I wrote a novel.
You don't try to get a dev like Eugene on your phone for hope that he can bring ICS, you try to get him because ICS or GB, he makes awesome stuff, and could attract other great devs.
The vibrant wouldn't have been what it is/was without him. I loved mine because of him, Whitehawkx, Roman, Sombionix, ttaggal (I think that was it), etc. Too many greats to mention.
Hi all,
You may or may not know me. I'm kind of a recluse (post when there's stuff that needs to be said). I've been a part of the E4GT since day one. The E4GT community is one that can be summed up in two words: Dastardly Fantastic. I'm going to name drop some people here whom I have much respect for and will miss dearly.
chris41g: You've become a good friend and I greatly enjoy reading your horrible auto posts on twitter. It was you that helped me learn the ins and outs of the E4GT. Even when you put a ; in the wrong place in the first CWM build for our phone.
ninpo, cnz(roadragen), bubby323: none of you are still around (these forums) but it was a pleasure working with you. If it wasn't for this group of people we wouldn't have pulled the original initframs off of my phone and compiled a zImage for people to restore back to stock. Regardless, ninpo you're the man, cnz your a narcasistic prick ******* and I do miss you on IRC harassing everyone. As for Bubby you copy cat kanger, I hope you aren't allowed to own another android phone.
Sbrissen, Darchstar, Team Rogue: awesome testing for you guys. You really take feedback and your users seriously.
Oddlou: For saving my life, literally. Seriously I was killing myself, and you helped me see something inside me I'd had all along... Courage and Strength.
Shabbypenguin: for being there when no one else was and pushing to keep development on this great phone.
Milenko & Team Troll: keep on trollin! Why? Because you jelly bro?
xInterloper777x: for helping me for 12 hours straight after being the 2nd blue light brick before we figured out it was impossible to fix.
PhantomPhreak53 & autoprime: for answering all my stupid questions, that if I'd only read my IRC logs I'd have the answers I sought I'd find. all the time and being good guys all around.
Jay Harper: for being a professional waste management thread cleaner and for taking out the trash. (Seriously we are all here for a common goal. It's okay to have disagreements but please back up your thoughts with facts or educated opinions... if you have none its probably not worth posting. The thanks button says thanks for you... it doesn't need another reply)
T.C.P.: You've been a real help and not just to me. Your outgoing attitude is what makes these communities thrive.
Team Venum/Blu Kuban/Calkulin/etc.: All you devs that are willing to work together. Even of I don't know of you personally... keep it strong.
So many more experiences and people to mention... if I've forgotten you don't take it personal we just probably weren't all that close.
Everyone on #ics-dev-e4gt and #jb-dev-e4gt theze channels won't go away. I'm still going to be there talking to you all.

I have sold my device back to sprint and I recently bought the RAZR Maxx on Verizon. I travel ALOT for my job and the nationwide sprint network was just too terrible as far as data and cell coverage, its sad because Sprint was my first cell company 10 years ago....smh.
I'll probably get the RAZR HD when it comes out..I know i could've waited...but my sprint situation reached critical mass...and I HAD to switch. You guys are all rockstars from mars...rock on dudes...rock on. :good::good:
If everyone that switched phones or carriers started a thread like this we would have a ton of crap to search through to find any useful info. Wouldn't just hitting the thanks button once in a while be just as good? I mean unless somebody cured cancer are we not really just blank faces here anyhow?
Shoutout to woody296 lol.
Wtf? Why do people feel the need to post these threads. Nobody cares that you bought a new phone. Hope jay closes this trash.

OK I try to avoid these conversations and not respond. But come on. This is the General section. He is not trolling with some worthless garbage that many people tend to post. He is saying goodbye to a community that he has been a part of and thanking people at the same time. He has not attacked, harassed or complained about anything. He has not posted something that has been posted 100 times. And he has posted in the correct location. So if he wishes to express himself so be it. If you don't like what he is posting move on. There is no need to disrespect someone for sharing their thoughts and/or feelings.
If I left for another phone I would probably do the same thing. Because it is a community. I try to help people in my community, be it virtual or real, in any way that I can. So I don't see anything off the wall with someone saying goodbye to their community and showing gratitude for anyone that has helped them. Yes the thanks button works and yes I use it all the time. But sometimes a written message, that takes an effort to write out and that shows a thanks coming directly from you, is much better than a click of a button.
I think we should all lighten up a bit. Sometimes we take things way to serious.
YeaH!
It's only polite to say good-bye. If anyone's "trolling" it's the naysayers in this thread. The old adage, "if you don't have anything nice to say, shut the Phuck up!" Holds true here! :silly:
Give the guy break....wave good-bye and move on. Jeesh!

I would like to agree and I would back every word written above.
As a member of this community who tries to do something for our phones (I won't call myself a dev yet) I really like to see some posts and not just the tnank you count. It helps me to keep up with what I'm doing and continue doing it.
It shows me that my work is needed and wanted and IMHO without that feeling I don't know how long I would of done all this.
And I can't imagine a single person who would not appreciate simple warm words and a "thank you" message for work done and for effort and time invested in something.
And one question at the end.
This is general section for anything and everything a member whants to say or share.
What is wrong with expressing ones opinion and feeling or posting some "Thank you" words here?
Well maybe we should start a poll? I have zero talent in this area so if someone else could do that i would hit their thank you button. Hey, how come this guy didn't thank Jay or did he and i missed it? Hotspace and agate63, you forgot to thank the op, cmon now, live up to your posts.....Thank you for thanking him\her hotspace, only one more left...

I don't have a thanks button.....but thanks OP.
I changed my theme just so I could provide Thanks!
When you really want to thank someone, you do it one on one so you can look them in the eye,shake their hand, or even pm someone so they really understand you mean it.When you do it in a room full of people it's called grandstanding. You get to tell your story and then others can look at you and go "ain't that nice" so it's actually for the person saying thank you not for the person being thanked. So it's more of a drama thing than anything else. Not that i meant that's what the op was doing, I'm sure he\she was genuine.
Banter is just that.....it goes back and forth. Kind of like a volley in tennis. However, I was raised to praise in public and criticize in private. To each their own...:good:
I'm still here... with about 5 new devices but looking for ET4G. May consider trading my N7 for one and a few bucks... sssup everybody.

Good to see you back and i hope your new device is working well. Can you explain the meaning of the picture to me? Am i supposed to hate batman or does he hate me or how does that work, I'm so confused. I will hit your thanks button.

Moderator EDIT...Paypal link and the original post contents removed, this is not in the spirit of XDA, nor is it appropriate as a proper "Bounty Thread", no one should have to donate anything to get anything here, work is done here in and for the spirit of development.
Idk if this will work out since you can't generally guarantee that if he buys a S3 he'll get a brand new one with the same issue you guys are having

I KNOW exactly which phone he will be getting...(my wifes),so if people have faith then it will get done. and it will cost a lot less than people think.
edit:
when my wife gets home I will take pictures of the exact phone (that Nardholio will be receiving) and myself to help ensure people that this is not a scam. by the way its the purple s3 Nardholio. hope you don't mind.
So are you giving him your wife's phone or selling it to him? If you are selling it to him, how much are you asking for the donations to cover? Was just curious where the donations came into play.

I think he is probably buying her a new phone (S3?) To replace that purple one and giving it to the other guy to develop on. If the story is true.

That makes sense, I didn't even think of that.
I've communicated with him and believe him. I've even given him $5 even though the phone is for me lol

Lets just say I have my ways of being a procurement specialist...and im the real deal. Its just that this is the first time I actually have something that I can contribute to android development and xda. I am the antichrist of iphone.
And with 5 bucks the ball is rolling. I know a lot of people have doubts but some people actually like the satisfaction it gives them to be able to do the right thing. And for even more proof give me a few minutes. I think im going to start doing screen shots to show where we are with donations (for the non-believers).
Sorry folks, thread closed...This was not a proper "bounty thread"
This is not how things are done here, see OP for edited info by me.
K.G. EDIT: Lying to the insurance company would be considered fraud and that has no place for discussion on XDA. Allowing threads to beg for money to pay the deductible would make XDA an accessory.
