FYI - DerTeufel1980 had a solid kernel working fairly quickly and has since worked on the recovery mods to allow installing two ROMs, etc. He has been working through a few items such as USB only working for charging, etc. He is making progress though.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
DerTeufel1980 has a dual-boot kernel working for the Samsung Galaxy line (Captivate, etc). With our help, he has been able to purchase a Note II to work on and I have been updating this thread with donation promises.
The post is below. You can look at his stats (a recognized developer with close to 13,000 thanks) and know that he can be trusted. Just to have him working on the Note II will be a great addition. I started the thread on the AT&T forum and then added it in the N7100/N7105 forum when I realized he lives in Germany. He and I have committed a fair amount of $ to make this happen so if you feel inclined to help out then it would be appreciated.

Update 5/25 - DerTeufel1980 has spent a while perfecting a universal kernel that works on AOSP and Sammy ROMs. The thread is here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2239453
He had to work out some bugs that prevented troubleshooting the dual-boot problem. However, he recently returned to the dual-boot problem and has solved it. He has been able to dual-boot with AOSP as primary, Sammy as secondary and vice-versa. He is still fixing some recovery issues, etc but is hopeful that the release will be available tomorrow. This turned out to be much more challenging than other phones but that is probably why nobody else has accomplished it until he had a device to work on...

I want to stress that is a possibility (although probable I believe). DerTeufel1980 has already said that certainly you could boot 2 TW or 2 AOSP ROMs. That would be using the same kernel. He would have to swap kernels during the dual-boot process to switch between ROM types I believe but that probably could be done. If anyone is willing to donate to get him a device to work on, please just post here and I will update the OP.
Changed the OP title to ask if anyone is even willing to risk $5.00 for the capability.
are you ready ?

??? Are you asking if we are ready to accept donations to buy a device yet? The answer to that is not yet. DerTeufel1980 can't afford to spend the additional several hundred dollars needed to buy a Note 2. If I can't gather enough donation promises then it will be pointless to ask anyone to donate yet. If you are willing to donate, just reply and I will add your name to the list. I'll even bump my promise to $75.00 if this thread will generate some more donations.

Thanks, but don't you think there is a difference in this case? Anyone can develop and app without the specific device. Nobody could successfully develop a dual-boot capability for a device they don't have to test with. People don't want to donate until after he completes the work. That will not happen if he can't get the device to start the work...
I'm really surprised people aren't willing to "risk" even $5.00 for someone who has already proven he could create a dual-boot kernel.

RichMD said:
I've created donation threads to try to gather enough funds to get a Galaxy Note II for DerTeufel1980 who has successfully created a dual-boot for the SamSung Captivate (part of the Galaxy S line). After some interest from the AT&T community, it seems to have stalled. I didn't realize how opposed some people are to donation threads but I would ask the following:
If dual-boot is a capability that you would like to have, do a little research to make sure you feel that DerTeufel can be trusted and then consider donating to bring this capability to our device. If he can quickly/easily swap kernels then AOSP and TW ROMs, you could try both without the significant hassle of creating a nandroid backup and restoring every time you want to swap ROMs. I've copied the OP from one of the other threads below.

DerTeufel1980 has a dual-boot kernel working for the Samsung Captivate. He has promised to create one for the Note II if we can get him a device to work on.

Wow, $100.00 would be a great donation. I have been trying very hard to get this to work but it seems to be stalled. I just sent a PM to DerTeufel1980 to see what is the minimum he would need to purchase a device. I am considering taking "all the risk" for the gap between what people donate before the fact and what he needs. I would update the OP for each community to see how much people would donate AFTER it is working and ask him to send a certain agreed-upon amount back to me after he receives the funds. Yes, some would call me foolish but I really want the capability for a few reasons (work related, etc) and I am willing to risk trusting him.

MOD EDIT: I am closing this thread. It has become pathetic the amount of trolling and arguing and complaining - you would think this was a thread with a bunch of high school kids if it wasn't for the timestamps saying otherwise.
In addition, after further review this effort falls short of the general XDA guidelines for bounty threads in that it is not for one specific developer, but instead a free-for-all for whomever gets something *done* first, and then that is a subjective nightmare.
And further, the idea of donating to an effort of this sort always leads to further the sense of entitlement which always infects XDA.
All pledges can be considered moot and you may choose to donate to whomever you want to.

Due to the rapid responses and at least one for even more than $20, we might get this REWARD up to 4 figures within 24 hours which would be an awesome stimulant for thosE capable of compiling a ROM for our beloved Sprint E4GT.
EVERYONE: Seems this thread has been moved to GENERAL. I don't care if they but it under LIEUTENANT or even CORPORAL as long as we get our ROM ASAP! Thanks y'all and tell your friends so we can make the total reward even more enticing and get our ICE CREAM SANDWICH even sooner!
UPDATE: We're already up to $165. GO TEAM GO !!!
I seen bounty threads in the past. The just don't work from what I saw. It's easy to pledge, but, when the day comes to paying it's just as easy to forget.
Personally I believe a bounty should be more organized. There should be a pot that people donate to. So, the money is actually there to help entice any developer to get more motivated. That would eliminate half ass promises. With this system we will be able to tell how much money one can make for fulfilling the desired request. Problem is deciding who is trustworthy enough to handle this pot.
If this system is somehow adopted I will be donating to the cause.
personally i was the first one to provide my confirmed donation for the OG Evo wimax on AOSP thread, so its on the honor policy. True there could be better ways to entice, but this is a start.

We appreciate all donations to xda-developers.com, it keeps our forum online and well maintained. As a user you're allowed to ask for donations in your signature as a thank you for your hard work. However donations up front are not allowed, this forum is about sharing, not about getting paid to do something, that's what your job is for.
PayPal here:
Any donations and/or support are greatly appreciated.
11/14/12: withdrew monies from PayPal. Putting it towards purchases of some more hardware. Leaving the donation link up because this project could surely use much more support! Thanks to everyone who contributed so far!
10/30/12: made a quick update to the chipin site. Still working on getting the chipin site and Paypal to sync properly, but all donations are definitely showing in the Paypal, so no worries.
UPDATE: The first donation of up to $50 dollars, I will match with a donation of $50.
UPDATE 2: Due to popular demand, there will be a "learner box" created for those that want to "experiment" with development on a faster machine. There should be enough parts to put it together and have it running as we approach the current project goal.
This is the official buildbox support thread. Many of you are probably wondering what a buildbox is... I will try to explain without getting too far sidetracked!
---Purpose---We are trying to raise money in support of multiple roms/devs. This is not for one particular dev, nor is it one particular rom. Consider this a donation to the community in which you are a part of. This is helping the devs have more resources at their disposal, and ultimately, helping you have a better rom! Please read below for more of an explanation.
---What is buildbox?---For the open source community (CM10, Paranoid Android, CNA, etc), the roms are built from source. Doing this is not very easy, nor is it quick! It takes a lot of time and effort. I don't want to simply 'thank' the devs and leave it at that. So, I have made a contribution to the open source community. I have commited a powerful server to the devs that choose to use it for building open source roms.
Now you say, "So what... they could use their own computer and build roms..."
Yes, they could. However, look at this. For many devs (especially since ICS and above), the build times have increased significantly!! I'm talking 4+ hours in some cases! In steps the buildbox. The buildbox (in it's current condition) has cut most build times to between 20 and 30 mins.
Then you ask, "Why does that matter to me?" Well, the quicker the rom is done, the quicker we discover bugs, and, in turn, can FIX bugs! Think about it: If you were waiting in the lobby at the car dealership for some work to be done and it was going to take 3 hours to complete the work, you wait. You aren't getting anything done. Now, if you were able to speed the process up to 25 min, you could get much more done that day because you aren't stuck for over 3 hours!
---Why does this matter to you?---Maybe more choices of roms, maybe nightlies of your favorite roms, maybe less bugs! A small donation toward our goal will help keep the hardware current and allow for the devs to get the great benefit of a powerful machine. Hard drive space is quickly filling up, the RAM is over full utilization, and other hardware improvements can be made.
PayPal here:
Any donations and/or support are greatly appreciated.
Currently supported devs (a big thanks goes out to them and their work!): Phantomphreak53 (CM10 nightlies), kbizzle (Paranoid Android), and justlovejoy (CNA)
PS: If anyone is looking for more info, has suggestions, or is interested in the project, feel free to pm me. All of the devs can vouch for me (even a couple not listed here). This is a legitimate request. We are counting on the open source community to keep this project going strong.
tl;dr, support open source development and make a donation to the development tools!
This Dude Is Amazing In his efforts to contribute to the true meaning of AOSP for ALL!
Thank You! Without You CNA wouldnt have moved as fast as it did and my future ROM's
Hopefully too! Thank You Again Sir!
If I had the money to throw down on this I would definitely make a donation for this.
Not only would this help cut build times, this would also speed up the time it takes to sync repositories, depending on the connection that the build box has.

This is not a "I want to buy a new computer" type of thread.
This is a thread for donations to help keep his server up and running. Running a cloud based server for building from source requires a good internet connection, and I'm not talking 12, 20, or even 50Mbps... at the minimum it needs a good fiber connection with something like 100Mbps down and at a minimum 50Mbps up.
Just think of this, it is similar to a virtual machine you can run at home.. but you can have multiple sessions running at once. Justlovejoy could be doing something, slick_rick could be doing something, sbrissen, phantomphreak, etc. If one needs to do a sync of the repository, there would be plenty of bandwidth and processing power for all of the developers to do so.
With donations, he could go out and get more memory for making backups. He could set a cron job for something like 6 in the morning after the nightly builds complete to make a backup image of the entire build box. Our developers work is safe if there is ever any failure. That means less time reconfiguring build environment, syncing repositories, building, committing changes to github...

You are correct, we owe credit to sbrissen for jellbybean. These "secondary devs" have produced many good roms. They have allowed the community more choices. They actively work on fixes. They try to answer the communities requests. They provide you nightlies (for the flash-o-holics out there). It doesn't sound like you are giving these "secondary devs" as much credit as they are due.
This is a completely independent project. Without support from the community, it will be hard for these great devs to continue to put out the work that they do.

AOSP stands for android open source project. All of the roms listed are not touchwiz. Hence, they are AOSP. Also, the thread doesn't ever "not include" sbrissen or others. It simply states the devs that use the buildbox that I have created. That is all stated in everything I have written. If you want to donate to sbrissen, that is your choice.
As basketthis has already said... this buildbox is not only limited to the devs that are currently using his server.
I would imagine if the resources like CPUs, RAM, and bandwidth allow for it... any dev that builds from source can use this option to build their source built roms. Even kernel devs such as Agat could use this option to build from source.
The sky is the limit to how many devs could take advantage of this, the only thing that is holding this back is contributions from the community. Instead of donating $5 to a dev, you could donate 3 or 4 and donate 1 or 2 to the build box fund... or you could just donate to the dev and the dev should donate for using the build box. Either way, there will be contributions to help keep the build box up and running.

Umm the point of this thread is for e4gt users to donate (if they want) to this build box so devs can put out their roms quicker and such. Nowhere does it say sbrissen isn't allowed to use it. If he wanted to use it I'm sure he could.

If you can prove you are a good enough dev, you would get an invite to use this service.

If you can prove you are a good enough dev, you would get an invite to use this service.

That's fine but it should be a service for everyone who wants to try to develop. I have a itch to learn but like I said I don't have a computer with enough hardware to build a source ROM with. So how can I "prove myself" to anyone. Either way I won't donate to something I got absolutely zero access too. That's just my 2 cents. I'm sure others feel the same.
Sprint offers $88 trade in credit.
Got the device on launch day. Screen is near flawless. Some scratch marks around the edges. The battery is completely dead (loses charge after 10 minutes). Worth selling on eBay and dealing with that, or just trade it in at Sprint?
Lmao thought this was a different phone. Buy new battery from amazon then sell it for more than what sprint was offering.

Buy another battery for like 5 bucks on Amazon and then sell on Craigslist for 150-200

Better suggestion if you're altruistic - see if a dev or a contributing member of the community may be able to use it. Anything to keep the community as strong as it has been is a good idea IMHO.
*Edit* Sending you a PM. Looks like there is a very good need for a phone right now - something that would possibly help alleviate an issue lingering on our phones....
I suggest donating it to one of our developers so that they can continue supporting this device. I would suggest donating to Adam Outler for the unbrickable mod he's working on for the E4GT.

^^^ This. For all that Adam has done and continues to do for the XDA community as a whole I would hope that one or more people that can spare a phone can get it to him. Even if this doesn't get us the UnbrickableMod.... if he's at it again it usually means great things are coming to the phone! (Hoping a previous roadblock is now resolved....)
I'd say to donate it to a dev, it wouldnt benefit your wallet, but it would benefit the community. The choice is yours. :good:
Donate to a dev!!
Speaking from personal experience I can tell you that, unless you're in dire need of money, there's no better value than donating it to one of the hard working Devs who give freely of their time and energy to the community. Think of it this way, if you've ever enjoyed a leaked ROM or any of the many custom ROMs then you've already pocketed $88 and then some.
Everyone loves this feature. Let's get it ported over to AOSP based ROMs! I'm willing to chip in $25 for someone to get this working. What is it worth to you?
Conditions:
The following conditions must be met in order to claim the bounty. This is to ensure that it is fair and open to everyone.
1. Make a post in this thread mentioning that you are currently working on this project. We don't need updates every step of the way, though that would be nice, but just let everyone know that you are participating is all.
2. You solution must be open sourced. Now, you do not need to post how-to videos of your step by step process, but your solution cannot be locked to one certain ROM. It needs to be open enough to allow other ROM devs to integrate it into their ROM. Whether I use CM/AOKP/Carbon/Liquid, I should be able to use your mod on any of the Note 2 AOSP-based ROMs.
3. Post proof before collecting the bounty. If you post in this thread saying you've done it, prove it. Post a working AOSP-based ROM with WiFi calling integrated, or get with a chef to post one. Once that is done, get at least one other ROM dev to integrate your solution into their ROM.
Once all three conditions are met, the bounty will be paid in full, and everyone will know that you were first to do it. If you want credit in each thread using your mod, that's your right to do so. Creating a separate thread for just your WiFi Calling mod would be a good idea once this is over in order to do bug tracking and such as well, but that's up to you.
Anyway, I feel that these three conditions are simple and reasonable. They protect everyone involved. Any comments or promises of donations are very welcome.
There is a thread in the Nexus 4 forum that has a similar bounty currently valued at over $1400. Perhaps that solution can be ported over.

Everyone already knows about other WiFi/VoIP options. If you don't, do a search. Either way, this thread is NOT the place to discuss that. This is a push to get T-Mobile's WiFi calling working on AOSP ROM, not a suggestion thread for other options.

I'll see your $25 and add my own $25.
<rant>I can understand why the Nexus devices don't have it and honestly after reading and reading and reading don't think it ever will. What I don't understand is why the Note 2 being a Tmobile device can't easily have this ported over. There has so much been said about the Nexus devices not having the "framework" to do it, the Note should be the exact opposite no? I know back on one of my devices, I completely rooted, installed Cyanogen and had a wifi calling apk that added it in. I know there is more to it than this but I'm putting my money where my mouth is so I just wanted to throw my $0.02 in (no pun intended) </rant>
Shouldn't we just post it here but have the Nexus 4 rom as the primary thread to go to? I know they're waiting for the GS4 for it's dump on T-Mobile so they can have a 4,2 build with wifi calling not broken.

I've been following that thread since it's inception. I did happen to come from the nexus 4 so...but anyways let's get developers from this thread and the nexus thread to work together. That would be absolutely brilliant.
I'll probably never run an AOSP on this device, but if it had wifi calling they would be more appealing. ... so put me down for 25.

Put me down for $5. BUT if some1 getting the multi screen working, I'll add additional $100.

WiFi calling is able to be ported to AOSP ROMs due to its nature as an IMS service. The framework is built into the Touchwiz ROMs, but is not dependent on the Touchwiz services. It'll just take a steady hand to make it happen. Nexus devices would be able to have it happen as well.

Any WiFi Calling solution would be device specific. If the Nexus gets it first, then someone still has to port it over the the Note 2 to make it work with our libs.

Multi Windows requires Touchwiz framework services, so it cannot be ported out of Touchwiz ROMs, due to those dependencies.
In for $25 if someone can get WiFi calling on CM.
(I'll try myself if the bounty gets big enough!)

I am confused as to why it has been so hard to port for 4.2 based when we had it for 2.3 that worked fine on aosp. I guess a lot has changed (and complicated) in those frameworks and services since the good ole days

It's a completely different system now. Plenty of threads details the changes, so Google a bit and you'll figure it out. I'm way too tired to list off the reasons why it's way more difficult now.
Put me down for $10 op
Put me down for 5 and I doubt I will even use it. I just like to see folks able to use AOSP without giving up much

I said I'd put down 20 for the Nexus 4 thread so i'll put the same here. Hold me to it!
Pute down for 10 for sure. Id love to use it on att base and n7105 base romz. The only thing keeping me from n7105 base roms is no wifi calling. Really limits the choices and at my house I really need wifi calling or its a deal breaker.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but porting the Tmo WiFi calling to any other ROM would require source code for the RIL, kernel and modem, won't it?
Even so, put me down for $25. Not holding my breath, tho.

Done. Bounty is up to $225 now.
I'm Good for $10... I'd probably throw in another $10 just out of gratitude when we got it.
