Amazon Wireless will be having a Memorial Day sale on the Infuse Monday. I hear free for new customers and discounted for upgrades. Not sure if that will help with this project or not but thought I would mention. Watch here on Monday:

Donation link added to the OP!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] kornklown69:
Get paid friday and will be donating 50$ to Xtreme!!!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dlev7:
Hey OP, this has been coming along tremendously. I have been carefully watching the progress on here, because honestly I dont wanna spend 700 dollars on an SGS II, and to be honest I like the idea of a super thin huge display.

So obviously this thread and the Odin Stock ROM thread are the two I bookmark : D. Hahha, but could you post like the checkpoints we are at for our donations. Personally I've always been a MikeyMike fan but everyone on here I have always used there Captivate stuff and will be glad to donate to them as well once the paycheck comes again next thursday. Hahha,

I am just wondering what we are donation wise for each developer and how close we are to bring them over to the infuse?

Thanks!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] beatblaster:
Actually, if you click each donation link you can see the progress and how close we are to each devs goals. Just so everyone is on the same page though, here's our current numbers and goals:

(current/goal)

MikeyMike01: $320/$550

Gtg465x: $115/$250

netarchy: $15/$550

xtremekilla09: $0/$450

[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyMike01:
I love how Amazon is selling it for more than the off-contract price at AT&T.

What a load of crap.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bella92108:
I don't mean to sound ungrateful, or pompous, but this is kinda ridiculous.

Do you buy a software developer a computer then get the software for free? No, the developer makes the program (even if it means they have to buy a computer and hardware to do so), then proves himself worthy by delivering a quality finished product and people pay for it.

Why would it not be the same case here? In any other scenario, the guy who wants to write a ROM buys the phone and then what makes the quality product is the competition between devs to make the best ROM, and the guy who makes the best one gets the most donations from users. This thread is so backwards, wow.

And $550? Uhm... I bought 3 SEALED Infuse 4G new in box for $410 each on CraigsList. Not sure where $550 is, even the AT&T store is $499, but that's silly to buy there when there are tons on CL and eBay for less.

I'll donate when I see someone put out a quality product. :-)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyMike01:
Good thing you posted a link to where. :rolleyes:

http://cell-phones.shop.ebay.com/Ce...p=15&_stpos=11550&_trksid=p3286.c0.m301&gbr=1

There's also two auctions that are about to end. Both are $500. Of all the completed listings, the cheapest was $425. Most are in the $475+ area.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bella92108:
Craigslist.

The average selling price on eBay is $505, which after eBay and PayPal and shipping fees are paid nets the seller about $395, so there are a lot of deals to be had if you're in larger markets where there are big CraigsList Populations.

Weird, here in the Bay Area the no-commitment pricing on the phone is $499 at the AT&T stores. I'm guessing since we have MetroPCS and a couple other competitive MVNOs they have to be a little more aggressive. Or they just realize the network is even more sub-par than the national average, so they have to throw us a bone, lol.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyMike01:
I refuse to buy anything on CraigsList. Ever.

http://www.craigslist.org/about/scams
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bella92108:
Okay. Kinda old-school, but whatever. If you were a seller you'd understand. eBay\PayPal takes almost 25% of a large transaction. Screw that.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bella92108:
Seriously, you just quoted the scam warning? Wow. Are you from a small town in Iowa? Not to be rude, but you just made the point as to why Americans have a bad reputation in the rest of the world. You're afraid to go to Mexico because the 10 oclock news says you'll get killed by drug cartels. You won't go to the middle east because Glen Beck says it's too dangerous. You won't eat in a local restaurant in China because it's not a chain restaurant called Applebees.

There are millions of craigslist transactions completed successfully every day. I'd bet less than 1% are scams. If you're meeting someone in your neighborhood at Starbucks and inspecting the goods prior to paying, there's no scam there. If you wire money to a bank in Nigeria with the seller promising to send you a computer for $99 it's your own idiocy. Take some personal accountability in life, don't just listen to yellow journalism and assume that the 1% is the norm. I bet that in 1% of the case of AT&T store purchases the rep is in the back copying credit card info... you have way too much faith in a false sense of security system.

Seriously, this thread is pissing me off and souring my taste for my new Infuse and I haven't even set up my account on it yet, so I'm just going to step away.

I want to develop Mac Pro Apps, anyone wanna buy me a $4000 computer? I promise I'll make a good app. C'mon!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] beatblaster:
Yo.....

I'm going to be nice when I say this: please go away. I just read your posts and all they are is troll, troll, troll. Everything was smooth sailing until you showed up and now you're harassing a developer? Seriously, don't do that on my thread. Keep it up and I will report you to Neo.

Thanks for your understanding.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] netarchy:
You also should understand that

we

were approached about developing on the phone, not the other way around.

If the community sees fit to put phones in some developer hands to work on, that's amazing; if not, I'm sure other developers will inevitably surface to work on the phone as well (and make no mistake, it is a sexy phone in many aspects).

As I've told Beatblaster, who approached me inquiring if I would be willing to work on the phone if I had one: I'll work on any android device it if I have it. I'm sure the other devs who have been asked the same thing feel the same way.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bella92108:
Wow, seriously? That's very misguided. You do realize this site is a business, not some gift to those who grace it with their presence? See the advertisements all over? Those are SPONSORS.... companies who pay based on people like me coming to the site and then supporting their companies. It's very annoying that you lash out at me for simply expressing my feeling that I think it's inappropriate to have a "donation drive" to buy the developers devices who then receive donations for their finished product.

If you disagree with me, that's fine, and you can vocalize it, but don't get on a high horse and recognize yourself as having the right opinion and dismissing that of others. I've donated to many great developers, and I simply expressed that I felt it was more appropriate for developers with finished products to receive donations.

You can disagree, and I'm sorry if I offended you, but when you play nazi thread dictator, you resort to what Apple does to their user base, and is counteracting everything that Android and free exchange of ideas is about. Realize that not everyone will always agree with you. If you want to dictate, get a blog that's closed to responses, but I personally appreciate hearing from those who agree AND disagree with something I have to say, and that is the purpose of a COMMUNITY FORUM.

Sorry to have offended you with my opinion.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyMike01:
Excellent point. All I did was set up the chipin thing to coordinate the donations people wanted to send me.

While I'd love to rip your silly statements to pieces, I won't. I'll just ignore them and keep to the topic.

I won't buy anything on Craigslist because there's no guarantee it will work, no higher authority to appeal to and resolve issues, and it's plain inconvienent to have to coordinate a meeting location.

Not because of Gilgo Beach. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bella92108:
And I understand and appreciate the hard work ANY developer puts into software, which is why if you look at my track record (previous device Inspire 4G), I've contributed to several creators of ROMs after trying several and settling on a ROM I like. :-)

Imagine if you prepaid for versions of OS's... do you think Microsoft would put as much effort into quality if they had already been paid for Windows 10? Of course not. :-)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyMike01:
Actually, I don't.

:cool:
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bella92108:
Understood... I guess it's a personal preference. The fear of no guarantee of something working is real, but I typically only buy new sealed items, but certainly can appreciate your concern with something that were used. you better stay away from used car dealerships, or any cars that a previous buyer might have test driven, hehe....

But do know that buying something on CL doesn't necessarily void a warranty... I can take my craigslist iPhone or Infuse in and get it swapped at AT&T in two minutes just the same as if I had bought it from them. I don't want to be argumentative, just making sure you're aware of the realities as there's so much yellow journalism about CL and eBay and other re-sale sites.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] CheesyNutz:
BB ignore the trolls and keep doing what you do A+ work man
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bella92108:
Right, and what percentage of visitors are mods and developers? Very small in comparison to the rest of us. :-)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bella92108:
And this customer errr I mean troll will be here to happily donate once a great ROM comes out. You're welcome to follow-up if you'd like.

:-)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] kornklown69:
Xtreme updated his chipin and added links to some of his work so click his link :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] beatblaster:
Yes, yes. I just noticed that! Very nice work :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] beatblaster:
Not too much farther before meeting the goals set by MikeyMike and Gtg465x. Let's keep it going!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
If I had the money to buy an Infuse I wouldn't be asking for before the fact donations. However, I'm a senior in college and literally have almost nothing. I work part time while going to school just to pay for essentials like food and gas.

Even developers who have the money probably don't feel it's worth it to drop hundreds of dollars on an Infuse because honestly, it's not much of an upgrade over the Inspire, Captivate, or Atrix they're currently using. Thus if donation drives like this didn't exist the Infuse might never see much development and you might never have the opportunity to "donate when you see someone put out a quality product".

Anyways, I understand where you're coming from bella and if you would rather not donate until you see a finished product that's perfectly fine and normal, but others don't mind donating beforehand and probably won't donate later since they've already contributed.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] -shift-:
I think you have no idea what you're talking about. No one cares if you've donated in the past or what your donation process is. If you don't agree with the thread, don't post in here. Mkay? As the devs have already mentioned how flawed your logic is, best be on your ways out. In fact, just return your phone and grab a Motorola Razr. I think it best suits you.

Beat,

Don't let trolls like these get you down. You already know how bad it can get [points to EVO forums]...

[Samsung Infuse 4G] rjan22:
Dude stfu, if you don't want to donate, keep your mouth shut, funny did you donated sound you donated $10 and can't sleep about it, donation is not compulsory, so what if they get $550 you idiot dont you even know developer have a family to feed mortgage to pay and car payment, and they giving so much time to make a rom not for those who just donated but also for those who don't, I really can't believe people who don't chip in have the nerve to argue about the chip-in. This is an evidence that the world will always make a better idiot!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] pixelkore:
If you don't want to donate then don't. If you do then please do. There are MANY of us whom we would like to do more than say Thank you to the ROM and kernel developers. Dedicated and hard working ROM and Kernel developers should be respected, and to rant at them is an insult.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] beatblaster:
For anyone who still needs a phone.... Free 4G phones today only
[Samsung Infuse 4G] keitht:
Not seeing free for new customers or heavily discounted for upgrades as I had thought was going to happen today. When I go there, the new customer price is $129 and the upgrade is $179.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] beatblaster:
Really? My bad. I was just following some links I saw on Twitter via @TheDroidGuy.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] keitht:
No problem. I also read this was supposed to happen today. It may have been a false rumor or maybe it will happen later today.

Don't give up now people! DONATE! DONATE! :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] kornklown69:
Agreed, i havent yet because im waiting on payday
[Samsung Infuse 4G] pixelkore:
Don't forget donations for netarchy's kernel development. :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] slider2828:
Hey Beat,

Can you update your opening post of this thread at the end of each day to show the progress!!!!

We are like a 320 for mikey. 80 bux more guys!!!!

gtg is getting close too!!!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
exactly. i donated to gtg because he came here and showed some interest, has already been a big help, made infuse specific mods, and i have seen his past work. mikey mike, i also know from the captivate, gr-12 is awesome, no need to bash him. he didnt say he actually needs the $550 and there is a disclaimer to that in the op. pricing varies and there are many places asking $600+ for an infuse off contract. taking the price off the att website is only fair.

now lets keep the thread to the people that want to donate. though im surprised that there are now 4+ names on the list and am skeptical if we can generate enough to get them all to come over.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] shadow65781:
Hey everyone

Gonna say it again. If you've flashed a custom rom on your captivate or whatever phone you had before this one, and have yet to donate to the development of these roms now is the perfect opportunity to do so. Cmon guys and gals. Let's show our support so we can have awesome stuff to flash.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] iceman99393:
Who do I need to donate to for cm7 on this bad boy?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] kornklown69:
None of them have committed to cm7 but they all have amazing custom roms and netarchy does kernel work read up on the previous work of the devs though! I hope for a firefly type ROM ported over from xtremekilla 09....amazing work
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xtremekilla09:
Sorry didnt chime in earlier.

Just wanted to say I am glad there is so much interest in the development of the Infuse and I understand how the community works.

I learned a while back that to be a dev in this community, you have to have tough skin and get over the petty bs.

I am an out of work Net Admin/Web designer and I have been developing for android for a while now, and I enjoy every bit of it. So, when I was approached about this, of course I said yes, who wouldnt :).

I forgot where I was going with this..lol

Just wanted to give my 2 cents. :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] kornklown69:
Do chime in more often X, and I do know how well you handle the bs haha your one of the few developers i know of who takes criticism and turn it around positively

[Samsung Infuse 4G] pixelkore:
lol, over shot by 61 cents. I wonder how that happened.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] coopas:
On my first donation I used a paypal fee calc. It said to get ten bucks to someone, send them ten bucks sixty one cents. Apparently paypal did not charge a fee and that entire amount went through.

Then someone donated twenty five even to finish it off.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rjan22:
Mike needs to buy an Infuse ASAP so he can start doing his magic.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] beatblaster:
Congrats on Mikey meeting his goal!! Guys i have a home emergency on my hands that im dealing with but will update the op asap. Lets keep it going for the other devs!! Special shout to netarchy! We need his kernel magic like really bad :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] shadow65781:
Congratulations on reaching your goal Mikey.

Let's not stop there people, now it will be easier to meet the other developers goals since one is down. Personally I want to see firefly on this phone. So let's donate.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] beatblaster:
OP has been updated. To give the next 3 devs a chance to reach their goals I'll be refraining from adding more devs for the immediate/near future. Of course, you're more than welcome to donate to whomever you wish.

Again, congrats to Mikey meeting his goal. It was very ambitious, even with it being lowered, and to see it met makes me want to give even more to grow our community. Remember people - it literally is up to us (no matter how corny that may sound, it's true!)!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] slider2828:
Agreed guys! Please donate! its like 20 bux per person. Come on! gtg is already dev'ing some roms and looks very promising too...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] beatblaster:
Dont forget to donate everyone! We will have plenty of great things to look forward to with the development of advanced kernels and roms ;)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] shadow65781:
OK.

Time for my daily pitch.

If everyone that came from the captivate and flashed a custom rom gave $10 we could easily meet our developers goals. You know who you are. If you can give more, awesome. If you can't give ten than give what you can.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] kornklown69:
I get payed tomorrow i will be donating to xtremekilla09 and the kernal dev who else is donating soon????!!!!????
[Samsung Infuse 4G] beatblaster:
Me!! :) Just gotta get paid then it's donation time.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rjan22:
Everybody is waiting for that check lol. By the way are they doing gingerbread ROM, or the SGS2?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] beatblaster:
As stated previously, Gingerbread ROMs won't happen until we get a kernel dev onboard. netarchy is a kernel dev :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] beatblaster:
Just got word from Gtg465x - he's got an Infuse now! WOOT! OP has been updated. Thanks for helping our community grow :) Don't forget. We still need more devs so donate whatever you can today!

I was going to put in $10 for GTG (who, due to bank trouble, didn't get $10 on my donation run the other day), but I see he got an Infuse.

I put in another $10 for netarchy.

C'mon guys! His donation counter has been static... We all want Gingerbread, right? :D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] netarchy:
Keep some realistic perspective though, me getting an infuse doesn't mean you're gonna have GB overnight. A project like that is gonna require the efforts of more than just one guy ;D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] coopas:
I had Gingerbread on my calendar for tomorrow :mad:

Just kidding.

The ball has to get rolling to make any progress though. Haven't seen much interest from anyone with kernel experience elsewhere.
