----------------------------------------------------------------------- WE DID IT!!!!! -----------------------------------------------------------------------
ATTENTION: What you are about to read is a short story of recognition for all who made this thread become a reality. The people listed here are a great group, and deserve respect as an honest, and fun family of proud NOTE 2 owners. Please read on.....
If you are reading this, you are either part of our happy family, or welcome to join. There are no membership dues or fees. The people listed below are responsible for making this thread what it is, by donating what they could, to attain our primary goal: To get an excellent DEV DAGr8 involved with us, by donating the monies needed to buy him a Note2. Not only did these people accomplish our primary goal. They did so with class, honor, and dignity! Most importantly, they did it with respect for all involved. I am proud to report we had no haters or flamers. This may be an XDA record (B.JAY?) for this type of thread. I, for one, have never seen one go this smoothly and with nearly 100% follow through.We had 36 pledges, of which 33 followed through!!! That is a 91.6% follow through rate! We also had 4 people, who did not get here during the pledge drive, that stood up and donated. Everyone who donated deserves our utmost, and equal respect. I, for one, respect you all, greatly. If you are a note owner, and are benefiting from their hard work, please stop by, say hello, and even hit their thanks button. They deserve it! If you feel your name should be included, or if I somehow missed you, please PM me for inclusion. I too make mistakes. I'm only human! I apologize, in advance, for any errors, and assure you: they will be corrected!

A huge THANK YOU , from me, for all listed people
Also, a thank you to our welcomed DEV
DAGr8
|OP| #2
IMPORTANT NOTE: Yes, the time has come to start donations. Please direct your attention to |OP| #3 below for ALL updates! Thank you
Hello to all future NOTE 2 owners. My name is David aka aspidites73 and I have an important announcement to make. I have news regarding a conversation I had with an awesome DEV, DAGr8. for those who don't know him, start here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1581065. It is not my imagination that we will be dangerously short on DEV competitiveness, come Friday. DAGr8 is willing to bring his GR8ness to the NOTE 2. I do not believe it is DAGr8's responsibility to purchase a Note 2 for the purpose of giving us the ability to have a better phone. His track record speaks for itself and, I dare say, he does not owe his work to anyone. This is why I am asking my fellow NOTErs to stand up and help DAGr8 help us by making our note, NOTE-2-licious. This is a solicitation for pledges to accomplish just that. Let's get DAGr8 working for us!!!! LET'S BY THE MAN A NOTE 2! Read on before you pledge.
1) I have no financial interest in this. I am only asking for pledges, your word that you will earmark what you can to make this happen.
2) DO NOT send anyone any money until we have enough pledges for DAGr8 to buy a NOTE.
3) Although DAGr8 has agreed to accept donations for the purpose of buying a note, He is in NO WAY involved in this collection of promises.
4) When we have enough pledges for him to buy a Note2, pay for any involved shipping and/or taxes, I will then ask that those who have pledged to donate that amount DIRECTLY to DAGr8. No one, myself included, has any right to ask for this money to go to them. DAGr8 will not do so, so DO NOT send anyone any money until we know we have enough pledged.
5) Once the pledges are in place, DAGr8 will keep me, and us, updated as to who has paid their pledge. If, within 60 days from the time donations begin, enough money has not been collected by DAGr8, He will refund your donation.
6) The second |OP|, right below this one will track pledges by name and amount.
7) You will make your pledge as a post in this thread. Once the 2nd |OP| has been updated with your name and pledge, It is considered official. You are expected to follow through or you will be cursed with a monkey up you @33 (not really)
8) You have the right to remain publically anonymous if you so desire. PM me for details.
9) Please do NOT pledge money if you do not intend on following through. You should only pledge money that you currently have, and will save until the time comes to donate. Once the money is donated, you will only receive a refund if the entire deal falls through. There is no exception to this rule.
10) If DAGr8 does not receive enough donations within 60 days of the beginning of the donation period, see rule #5.
11) DO NOT SEND ANY MONEY NOW! When enough money has been pledged, everyone will be asked to follow through and DONATE DIRECTLY TO DAGr8.
12) DAGr8 makes no promises other than to purchase a NOTE 2 with the funds he receives, and to try his best to produce quality work. NO ONE is guaranteed anything further. His track record should be enough!
These rules are non-negotiable. Simply stated: Tell us what you are willing to donate, watch the second |OP| for pledge amounts, follow through when asked. DAGr8 will post to this thread confirming it is legit and to provide his donation information. DO NOT SEND MONEY NOW!!!! Everyone will be made aware, via this thread, when it is time to donate. Please direct any questions to me via PM. I will then sticky them in Q&A form in |OP| #3.
LET'S GET THIS DONE PEOPLE. I will get things started with a pledge of $50.00 US! Let the pledges begin!!!!!
IMPORTANT NOTE: Yes, the time has come to start donations. Please direct your attention to |OP| #3 below for ALL updates! Thank you
Reserved |OP| #3
This |OP| is now the official update page for Operation: DAGr8! You may donate here: Donate to DAGr8 or by clicking the "donate to me" button in any one of DAGr8's posts. The money will go to him no matter which of the 2 links you pick. I will keep a running total of people who have followed through vs. people who have yet to follow through. We need 100% of the pledges to donate to make this happen. 1-2 more donations will seal the deal or, If everyone includes just $2.50 more when they donate, we are there. Thank you everyone! I was told this couldn't be done! We proved the doubters wrong!! Stay tuned my friends.
10:15 AM GMT -5 Update: we currently have 5 donations out of 34. Great start!
5:50 PM GMT-5 Update: Apologies for the delay in updates, had a Dr. appt. Anyhow, where are we? I'll tell you. Currently, and as of this writing, 10 people have confirmed their donation via PM to me (one posted but i'm not naming names ) We have also received 2 more pledges that I will update to |OP| 2 after this update. Also 3 additional people have contacted me with dates they will follow through. They are quite reasonable (1-3 days) . We are waiting to hear from 25 people, unless they have contacted DAGr8, as I have not talked to him since I just got home. I will do at least one more update tonight and start again bright and early (my time) tomorrow morning. Thank you all!! We are getting this done!!
Please stand by for update #3, I missed some people in my 5:50PM update. #3 by 8:00 PM GMT -5!
7:55 PM GMT -5 Update: I now have 13 confirmed donations and 4 PM's giving a date of donation to come. They are all within the next few days. There are currently 36 pledges so, as of donation day 1, we are slightly over 36%. If you include the people who have PM'ed me that they are going to donate withing the coming days, we are at 47%!!!!! Quite acceptable, if you asked me. I am working with DAGr8 to get a current dollar amount. I will do my best to get that info up tonight. Meanwhile, there are still 19 people who should be in contact with me via PM. To those people, please contact me with a confirmation number and dollar amount or a quick note as to when you will be donating, as soon as you can. No names, everyone knows where they fall. Thank you everyone who has confirmed donations. You have made a strong foundation. To everyone else, Thank you for your pledge. It is now time to donate and keep our plan alive! Until next update, Thank you!
9:57 PM GMT -5 Update: This will be the last update for the night. We are now at 15 confirmed donations and 40% of the pledged dollar amount ( +/- 1%). That figure is as of 8:00 PM GMT-5, when I received a paste from DAGr8 outlining the individual amounts. We have started off strong!!! Lets keep this rapid fire pace going. I, as are several of you, am expecting my Note 2 tomorrow (friday) by 4:30. I, for one can't wait. What I am really waiting for is some DAGr8 goodness to flash. I trust we all are. Please keep those pledges turning into donations. I trust you will! Next update, Friday AM. Thank you all very much for helping to make this happen!
Friday 8:00 AM GMT-5 Update: As of this post, we are up to 24 confirmed donations out of 36 pledges! Great job, everyone who has followed through. We continue to have 4 PM's, confirming their intention to donate. I expect them to follow through between now and the weekend. Included in the total are a couple donations that are bank transfers meaning the money has been donated, but will take several days to clear. That is no problem! We are still waiting to hear from 9 people who have pledged but not yet donated or PM'ed me. We still need 100% of the pledges to donate so please, if you are one of those 9, send me a PM, and let us know when you will follow through. No names, everyone knows who they are. Thank you all for your generosity! We are getting very close. We are at 73% (+\- 1%) donations. I believe the remaining 27% will donate soon. Today is payday for many so lets see what the day brings. Next update will be early afternoon GMT -5. Thank you!
Friday 1:15 PM GMT -5 Update: As of this post, we are up to 26 confirmed donations. We are still waiting to hear from 9 people who pledged. I urge those people to step up to the plate and make your donations. At least PM me and let me know your intentions. I donated, but you owe me nothing. Everyone else who donated deserves respect. They all pledged and made good on their pledges. Many donated more. Because of the additional donations, despite those 9 pledges, we are very close to reaching our goal! The 9 people who have yet to follow through represent an additional $235.00 USD that has not been collected but, we are only short by about 60% (+/-) of that amount. People who have PM'ed me and given a donate date have been included in this figure. I will have a more accurate figure tonight, when I get an update from DAGr8. I will post an update here, when I have that info. Please, for the sake of all who have already donated, follow through with your pledge. Our work has earned us that courtesy. Finally, A huge THANK YOU to everyone who has followed through. We will make this happen! I wont rest until it is accomplished. (I may sleep, but it won't be restful ) '
Edit Friday 1:15 PM GMT-5 has been re-done to accommodate for the error I made due to someone not knowing how to properly cut and paste (no names, D4G i want to say it (lulz))
Friday 7:00 PM GMT -5 update: Hello everyone, I am here with your much anticipated update. Everyone has done an excellent job, As of this writing we have received 30 confirmed donations! We are so close I wanted to delay this update but, I want everyone to know how good of a job they are doing, and that I am still on the job. I spoke with DAGr8 and we can officially confirm that there is only $35 dollars needed. This does not include any donations received in the past few minutes. I had to have a cutoff so I could make this post without constant editing. We are still waiting to hear from 6 people who collectively pledged $125. We need, at least 2 of them to step up in order for DAGr8 to pay his paypal fees, and still have enough left over to cover the phone and sales tax. Tax in Quebec is not what we are use to here in the USA (for those who live here ). It is 15% +/- .7%. I did not look it up myself, hence the +/-. Congrats to everyone who gave, regardless of the amount, every donation is appreciated. I expect DAGr8 to update this thread with a post from him, when he has acquired the phone. I know he is looking! I can't thank you enough for making this huge undertaking become a mere baby step away. I am very proud of what we did, in the face of the doubters. You should be proud of yourselves. A big high five to everyone! Stay tuned for another update tomorrow morning. Hopefully it is the final update to confirm we hit our goal to donate a phone we all will use, or are using, in order to help DAGr8 make his magic. We are all WINNERS!!!
Saturday 10:45 AM GMT -5 Update: Well folks, we xxxxxxxxxxx! HAHAHA, oficial update to be found, momentarily, in |OP| #1

Agreed cdshepherd, I don't think there is a device that doesn't have a following, weather cult or otherwise. I too like DAGr8's work. That is why I want this to happen. We will all benefit with DAGr8 working on the Note 2. Maybe this is another DEV's time to shine, who knows? I do know that my original Note ran its best on his Hybrid RC VII ROM. I didn't try all of the choices and I didn't like all of DAGr8's ROM's. For what I used my note for, The Hybrid was my choice. I hated having to give that up. If this works, we may not have too! Thank you, QwaarJet, and Artimus009 for your generous pledges. This is for everyone's benefit!
$25 here. Running liquid smooth right now....
Been using his kernel for the skyrocket and would for him to dev for the I317/M.

Count me in for $25, I always have confidence mixed with excitement of new features when flashing DAGr8's work.
Put me down for 20$ I have always appreciated DAGr8 devotion in his work and helping others in Development
Put me down for $25! I'd love to get DAGr8 working on the Note 2! Want to get a custom ROM ASAP!!!

Student here, dont know much about android community and what people have done to the devices but am learning more and more each day. Regardless i will pitch $20
Count me for $25
Good to see the possibility of DAGr8 possible doing dev support for the note 2. I heard since the internals are the same throughout all the note 2s (except for radio) that it may be possible to run a rom from any of them then flash your companies modem. It's yet to be confirmed though, at least last i checked.
Put me in for 30$, we need a real dev!
I got 20 on it.

Yes you read well, I am leaving and I won't support this device anymore. I've my Z17 for sale and I'm going to buy Huawei's Mate 10, I'm bored about Z17 and I want to try new devices, I really miss a bigger screen, 5.5" are too small for me.
This means that I won't release any custom ROM more, maybe the last one based on Nubia UI if a new update is released before I sell it...
Anybody can use my ROMs to made anothers, the only thing I would request is credit for my work.
Currently for me the best ROMs availables for Z17 are Miui 8.2.2 from SY and RR from SY too(Mokee too, but it has less customizations). So after flashing every ROM available for Z17 this is my feedback, I hope this will help somebody.
It was a pleasure mates, I hope you could enjoy this awesome device!
Sorry to hear.
Thank you so much for all the work you put into this. Since I'm on that Miui international, i'm pretty happy with it.
When i bought that phone i didnt quite think through there wouldnt be as much support as for a nexus...
I am Sorry to Hear that,
but i want Say Thank You , to arceoxis too.
Have lot of Fun with Your new Phone.
thank you for you nice works and helps .
also ım thınkıng to buy mate 10 pro.
Hi,
Thanks for your job. The Nubia Z17 goes the same way than my Jiayu S3 ADV.
No support from Nubia, nor from Jiayu (they are dead now).
May be you can explain to some of us how to continue your work.
May be I should change my phone to, to an international release. Later
Have luck (for your studies) and fun (for every thing)
Thank you for you big works and helps .
No more nubia devices in my life.
Thank you again bro.
I'm glad to see that more than 3 weeks later you're still around and active
Maybe if you stick around until june (or so goes the rumor) the official 8.1 update might get the phone back it's value

You may be asking, "Why was my Telegram or Whatsapp thread closed/post removed?"
Well, it's just becoming too much.
Going forward, we will only allow one Telegram chat link on a development thread by the ROM's developer and only if thorough support is still provided in the ROM thread on XDA.
All discussion channels, photography channels, whatnot channels will be strongly discouraged and removed with immediate effect. Please reference the forum rules:
Quote:
Self-promotion is forbidden, this includes blogs, social media and video channels etc. Random links will be removed.
Also, we now have an official XDA Discord Server. We would encourage you to try it out.
Thanks,

This is awesome! I am interested in trying out the extended battery case as I am looking for something to use on those all day trips to disney.
Damn it, I'm not from the US. Consider me if you decide to do some international testing (Spain). I'd love to try the product.
I'll keep an eye onto reviews though.
I'm interested in giving it a try and honest review.

Hey Guys! Developer of Energy Ring here!
I have got overwhelming requests to add support for notch based camera in displays. Finally decided to create a new edition of Energy Ring, probably going to call it Energy Notch to continue the familiarity of the name 'Energy' (from Energy Bar, Energy Ring.)
I am building more than just a semi-circle around your notch, Energy Notch shall be curve-hugging your notch. Looking for users who can help me measure the curves of their device.
Ideal tester:
#1 Available on Telegram/Skype - so that I can send you faster test builds.
#2 Have another phone/camera to take photos of the physical phone's notch while testing.
#3 Some patience.
Interested testers can PM their Telegram/Skype ID. Cheers!
Interesting, PM send!
