I know sandvold he's a good dev, helped me get my start in deving. Working with the one series he might have some knowledge about are ril problems. I've been meaning to talk to him.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rbaruch:
Literally took me 4 tries to understand that sentence!

I am going to bump this thread every time it falls off the top spot on this page!
[HTC Amaze 4G] sportsstar89:
Sorry for my lack of periods. Lol. I fixed it. :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] rwb2073:
Wouldn't it be nice if each time someone posted it corresponded with a new donation?

(bump) :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] rbaruch:
My donations will come at the end when I know my CC is paid off. Hopefully next week wednesday
[HTC Amaze 4G] rwb2073:
Bump.

So there's no one else?

I remember earlier this year during a time of rapid development when the internal memory quit on his Desire. After letting everyone know that he tried and failed to revive the device, he checked in once more before going to bed to say he'd figure out what next to do tomorrow. We rallied and in the morning he had more than enough money for a replacement.

It was nice to see everyone come thru with a few bucks each and post in the thread all-of-a-sudden with a rapid succession of donations, willing that development not stop.

But that was the Desire. I'm guessing the user base was larger... but more active? It seems like there's only 3 of us here - passing the ball back and fourth. <shrug>

Anyone else wanna jump in here and prove me wrong with a donation? $10? $5? 2?!! :angel:
[HTC Amaze 4G] shekki:
I'm hoping that more people will to Sandvold! I want to see development kick off on this device! :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] Kaiouss:
It says ending July 15th, but imho, should leave it up longer. Maybe even through the end of the year; hopefully people will get it for Christmas especially since the contract price will have dropped by then.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rwb2073:
I understand what you mean, but I'd think he'd be moved on to another device before then.

I'm not aware of who made the two other donations, but I'll get it rolling ala Feb...

- Transaction ID: 3e40f4f4c87df913

- Contribution Amount: $20.00

I challenge someone else to kick in any amount to keep this going. :)

I'll probably put my money towards my next Samsung. He's a smart dev for ditching HTC.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rwb2073:
So we're about 1/3 of the way to getting Sandvold over here to help out with some CM9 goodness. Let's get this done people....
[HTC Amaze 4G] ebatr8:
I just put my amaze for sale maybe I should keep it around a little bit longer.

Hasoon #1 come to canada i will take you on a nice shawarma date brother
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
Edit: I guess the easiest way to say it, if there are gonna be bounty or donate threads, I'd want to see the potential developer themselves say things to convince me of their awesomeness and desire to contribute.

Development does not make the device, I hope you guys know that.. outside of efforts to get things like CM9 and other true custom firmware, I'm not sure what people want. I don't think we need more developers unless they can contribute to those efforts.. or is that what this dev you want would bring to the table, and somehow I missed it?

I for one know that a GOOD developer can make plenty of contributions as long as they have a supply of willing testers, and if they could help make headway on any of the projects already going on - THEN I might be willing to throw a few dollars their way.. but I(and I think others) think that funds are too tight to share without more certain contributions..

We can't bribe a developer to come made solid contributions if they have no excitement for the device itself - unless they really WANT to contribute, if they have other projects going on, ours is always going to be a lower priority.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rwb2073:
I hear what you're saying, and I agree. Personally I saw what was done with the Desire, and I think that my few dollars are well spent here. I'm hoping for more than Sense to pick from, and I think others feel that way too. :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Sandvold:
Okey seems I got a pretty good asop running now. So now all focus is going toward fixing gsm:)
[HTC Amaze 4G] EclipzeRemix:
I would say merge with the current cm9 BUT that is not a good idea since you don't know all the files sport moved around, if you fix it by yourself than a fix for data will come faster
[HTC Amaze 4G] ziggy46:
cant wait to see it finished :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Sandvold:
GSM is really starting to piss me off:P
[HTC Amaze 4G] rbaruch:
It's been pissing all of us off for a long time ;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Sandvold:
I had the same problem with bravo for a while. Could only build evervolv and nothing else. Then i did one change (ofc forgot what) and it worked. So we'll figure it out I guess
[HTC Amaze 4G] Sandvold:
Question to you guys who tried fixing gsm and data. Have you played with all possible RIL's? I just found out that some RIL's that worked on GB don't have data and same goes for ICS/JB.

*changing RIL's that usually works also destroy GSM totally as well on the desire. Will look at this when I have released a new ROM for bravo
[HTC Amaze 4G] ziggy46:
any good news for us sandvold?
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
Can we not use what was included with our official ICS? And I was wondering how your project is going also..
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
That's what we were using but I fixed it today by building libril from source
[HTC Amaze 4G] shekki:
Does that mean it'll be easier to make data work on the builds?
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
Ah, I haven't been in the forums as much lately, school+work=less time.. and I got my new toy, the nexus 7, which is where my small spare time has been.. but I've had a feeling you're closer to making some progress. Plus, I just realized your thanks meter is much higher than it used to be, so congrats. I'm glad it seems people are appreciating you!
[HTC Amaze 4G] EclipzeRemix:
Mine got a little too high....... How did I pass up sport?
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Yea we finally got rid of all the trouble makers and unappreciative people and thank you
[HTC Amaze 4G] andy55:
no wonder its been so quiet around these parts lately, lol almost android-dev like
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
And I have not been as active as I have been very busy
[HTC Amaze 4G] andy55:
I already made a post reflecting that :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Thanks for understanding ;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Sandvold:
Okey a little update. I've been away for a good week now without my computer. However I did quite a few source changes last night and I'll try to compile today. Hopefully it'll compile without any problems. Most important thing will be working GSM if I got it right. Will let you know tonight/tomorrow how it goes
[HTC Amaze 4G] fcpelayo:
Ooh I'd be happy to test :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] Sandvold:
Having some compile issues after my changes. Downside of adding to much new stuff:) Trying to clean it up as we speak
[HTC Amaze 4G] thejrp:
Any updates on how you are progressing?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Sandvold:
Still working and not much new to report. Sorry for lack of progress, but been a lot to do at work. Took over a new class and stuff so had a lot of stuff to catch up to. However next week (from the 5th) I have one week off. So I should finally have some time then
[HTC Amaze 4G] andy55:
cool, no rush, but I'm excited to see what you come up with :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Sandvold:
Forgot to tell, I had to send my Amaze over to the US for repairs. Had to flash RUU after each costum ROM, adb didn't work (buggy usb port), same problem with charging. And the newest problem was that it turns off every 5th min. And that's no good when you're supposed to troubleshot. So sorry to say that I can't do much until I get it back. Luckily my cousin was travelling to NY on wednesday, so she brought it over so she could send it from there.

Will let you know as soon as I hear anything from T-mobile.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Sandvold:
Got a response from T-mobile. Motherboard ****** They say warranty doesn't cover it so I*ve asked for repair price etc now. Checking prices to see if it's possible to do myself as well
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
There's a year hardware warranty, so you should be talking to HTC, NOT tmobile. They will likely just send a refurbished one once they see that the motherboard is toast.

HTC isn't great about a lot of things, but seem pretty good about the hardware warranty.
[HTC Amaze 4G] EclipzeRemix:
revive!
[HTC Amaze 4G] fcpelayo:
resurrect!
[HTC Amaze 4G] silvertero:
I definitely wouldn't mind pitching in for all the Devs hard work :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] lorddart:
Just a quick question we had a dev that didn't have a device that actually made a rom or two for our phone. I want to say it was rms. I could be wrong but did they ever get a device? And yeah I definitely agree that I'm much more likely to help out if I see the dev themselves show interest in the device. And afaik the stuff preventing us from moving forward isn't a shortage on dev work as much as it is HTC's end
[HTC Amaze 4G] shekki:
RMS doesn't have a phone to test ROMs on, which I would imagine would make it a bit more difficult to fix bugs because the developer could only go off what other people say. Getting the device in more developer's hands allows us to have more developers who can bypass the things that are holding us back on ROMs. Right now we don't have much because we don't have developers who can write "wrappers" that allow us to get things certain things working without having the full source code available. This was how the mytouch 4G got pretty stable ICS ROMs up and running. So I say the more experienced developers we have, the better off we are.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
I'm sorry but we don't need wrappers when we have an ics rom. The only time you need wrappers is when android would change the way it does things and you would need the new call to communicate with the old driver or lib
[HTC Amaze 4G] shekki:
I thought that Google changed the way android called on drivers and such which is why I said that about wrappers, but I guess we don't need wrappers if we have an official ROM from HTC. The reason we had wrappers for the mytouch 4G was cause we didn't have an official ics ROM for it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Yep that's what there used for such on the hd2 because google changed the way the camera was called so we had to write a wrapper for it
[HTC Amaze 4G] eggydrums:
I agree this should be done. I still have hope for the amaze, the inspire dev is booming... But It wasn't until a year of its release that it became like that
[HTC Amaze 4G] lorddart:
I have a feeling you missed my point. I was simply saying that I personally believe the priority dev for an amaze donation effort would be someone like R-M-S seeing as he is interested and putting in the time and effort despite not having the device.
[HTC Amaze 4G] shekki:
I do apologize for missing your point. Maybe we could get the device into RMS's hands as well seeing has he is already contributing to our device without owning one?
[HTC Amaze 4G] EclipzeRemix:
At the same time RMS hasn't done a revolutionary project that we know of, he does .....
[HTC Amaze 4G] rbaruch:
As much as I love more contributers, I think we have enough "themed" stock roms, and we need some groundbreaking developers for AOSP/MIUI. Honestly I'm so happy to see that the device is picking up the pace and we have people helping us pester HTC for the WIFI drivers
[HTC Amaze 4G] Sandvold:
Hi I've been away myself for a week so havn't had a chance to respond.

Much of the work on the phones a dev work with can be used on all the phones. I also have the summer off and use deving both on learning more android + getting some cash through ads.

Without a good asop ROM then I'll get 0 ad income for that phone so will focus on getting something good up and running.

The date will be extended, just forgot to change it before I added the chipin.

Also I'll try working with the current team to see if I can help, but it's quite complicated without the phone.

Confirmation number $15.00
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
I wouldn't pay more than 200-250 at this point, $400 is just too much, and every single person I have seen for over a month paid less than 300. I mean I got mine if february for $350 I think.. so I would definitely say for a cheaper price :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] fuego77:
That sounds a bit steep :O
[HTC Amaze 4G] rbaruch:
There was a guy offering his amaze for sale in the CM9 thread
[HTC Amaze 4G] Nshih422:
Sounds like he was planning on getting a brand new one since he mentions taxes and shipping, probably good to have warranty as well.

I wish I could help but I'm really tight right now.
[HTC Amaze 4G] fuego77:
I honestly think 400 for an amaze? U can get a galaxy nexus for cheaper XD

I think 250-275 is a better price
[HTC Amaze 4G] shekki:
Yeah, he was selling it for around 250. I say that Sandvold should take him up on that offer. Would Sandvold even get warranty in his country if he bought a brand new one?
[HTC Amaze 4G] rwb2073:
Yikes. This plea is a week old tomorrow and we have a grand total of 7 contributors.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Sandvold:
Someone said earlier that 300 was the price. If it's cheaper then great:) Find me a link.

400 was with 24% VAT when importing to norway + shipping

---------- Post added at 02:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 AM ----------

250 is good for me:)

Warranty isn't an issue since i got to send it to the US anyway for fixing, and it's usually faster and cheaper fixing it yourself:) They don't even sell the phone in Norway.

Can anyone find the post where he said this?
[HTC Amaze 4G] rbaruch:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=28007354

Hopefully link works!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Sandvold:
Contacted him, will let you all know how it pans out. Hopefully we can figure somehting out that's good for both of us
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
Not sure how long you've been around, but there's been many "bounty" like threads.. so many of us here that aren't broke(like I am) may be hesitant to throw their hard earned dollars at someone before hand - but you can bet your ass that if he helps make some headway on the things we've been frustrated with, people will definitely throw some $$$ at him. Some people here have more dollars then they have cents(lol)..

The bounty for s-off went well over $1000.. not sure what/if paid out, but it goes to show people will definitely support the things they want - and right now aosp/aokp/sense4/etc seem very much what people want.

Hell, I may be broke as hell, but if he can help relieve some of the frustrations that me, sportsstar, remix, and ziggy have had with getting things fully working on some of these projects.. I'll sell some ps3 games to send him a donation! LOL.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Sandvold:
If I had use for the phone I would've done it that way, but I cannot even use 3g in Norway. So it's pretty unusable for me as a regular device:)

The phone that was advertised in the CM9 thread didn't pan out because of international shipping so I'm back to looking for another one. I've searched everywhere if I can borrow/rent/steal one in Norway but no one have the phone here
[HTC Amaze 4G] rbaruch:
I just looked up Norways	900	1800 3G 2100

Why wouldn't the amaze work? it's pentaband so theoretically it can work on every network
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
Maybe check this guy's post out? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1692560&highlight=amaze+4g&page=3 It says he will ship internationally, and someone is trying to get way too good of a deal out of him.. so a cash no bs offer may make him a happy guy.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rbaruch:
That one was sold 5-8 days ago... Having troubles reading :P?
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
I read thru all of the posts that were selling one, unfortunately most said they wouldn't do international.. but from what I read of that one it hadn't sold, not unless the title was updated and I missed it??? Lol.

The best bet would be for someone to pick it up locally, or one of the people in these forums who sound like they want a new phone.. someone is gonna have to help him get a good deal I think..
[HTC Amaze 4G] Krazex2005:
I'm selling my amaze for $300. Let me know if interested.

White amaze comes with everything including 8gb sdcard :)

Location: Miami, Florida, US.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Sandvold:
I might be wrong but I expected it to be the same when I went over to the US. That I only would have edge, with my desire 900/2100. 4g might work though but it's crazy expensive and no one have it in norway yet:P

My point was that i'm not buying it as my new phone that's why I'm not splashing out 300USD, but just as a dev phone.

I'm browsing amazon and ebay dailiy now to see if it pop up a good deal
[HTC Amaze 4G] rwb2073:
Could also try Swappa. There's one now for $330 that indicates international shipping.

I've got an amaze that I'm selling. I've got the box, charge cable and a d30 case. It is also boot loader unlocked and has cwm on it. S-on. $250.
[HTC Amaze 4G] lorddart:
Will you ship internationally is the question =)
[HTC Amaze 4G] hasoon2000:
There is no true 4G. It is really 3G. If you have 3G in Norway, then this should most likely work for you.

Let us know how it goes.
[HTC Amaze 4G] CalicoJeb:
To ship USPS International Express (usps most reliable method & cheaper than UPS & FedEx) - including insurance

should be approx. $40 - $50

EDIT: Don't want to read the Whole thread :-) I know its a worthwhile cause so.... where do I send my Donation?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Sandvold:
So total price is around 300 usd + taxes then. So 110 left i guess:)
[HTC Amaze 4G] rwb2073:
So we've got about 8 days and $110 left to make this happen. It seems like sort of a critical time for our beloved Amaze, so it'd be nice to get another experience developer on board.

I know getting the device in your hand would help a lot, but look at the git for cm9 now.. do you see any changes you think will help with getting the last few things we need working? We have plenty of testers, we just need someone who sees something we have missed.. same goes for aokp, sense4, and any other projects we are stumped on.

Or hell, can you build the newly released source for aosp? I'm pretty sure that is what we actually need..

I know having the device can help, but looking at the build we have you may see something obvious in the code we missed.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rwb2073:
Just thought I'd pass this along for the benefit of anyone checking in here...

Debauchery and cycling... what a combination :) (from the ICS Desire thread).

Guessing that we shouldn't expect to see anything happening here for a bit.
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
Well, if you guys get bored, maybe have a few dollars left in your wallets, and want to see some kernel development from a developer that doesn't have the device but PLANS to buy it himself - he is already making contributions.. maybe if the amaze community supports the people who are offering us what they can without a device, they will want to offer even more :)

[Kernel][7/12/12][v0.3] KozmiKRuby [ICS Sense 3.6/4.0][TUN][OC][Fully Customizable]

And here is where he posted that he was thinking of buying an amaze next week so he can debug - and didn't ask for a dime or any help(can you say awesome?) That is the sort of thing I want to support..

So what's the update with Sandvold? There hasn't been any update with this thread yet.
