Hurricane Sandy AKA Frankenstorm hit NE Ohio last night. The waves in lake Erie were pretty big. The winds were around 50-70mph. A lot of cities lost power including my house. We had to sleep in the cold with no power. But now we have no school so I'm happy. Now I'm at my grandparents house. The storm is dying down now. But now halloween is on my birthday, Sunday. :( Oh well...

Edit: This is a picture from 5PM. The major winds didn't hit until 10PM. It was at least 3x stronger last night then in this picture.

Power people are on their way to Jersey from Virginia at the moment, and guys from Alabama are already helping out.

Also update from NYC. Our stupid mayor decided to have the marathon go on when half of Manhatan is without power, hospitals are being evacuated, people dying on subway stations due to overcrowding, looting, homeless people who's his burned down or washed away and fights with weapons at gas stations between people trying to get petrol because of the gas shortage. And the mayor wants to take thousands of policemen and medical staff, and hundreds of ambulances and have them look over the marathon.

[LG Revolution] pendragon11:
I'm taking this idea from timmytim over in the tf300t forums (we need a bootloader adjustment, he made the bounty and xplodwild fulfilled it).to be working for the tf300t, ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1942369) so I thought we may as well try it here.

I personally pledge $20 to whomever is able to port/create an ICS or JB rom for the Revolution. Devs, please help us. There are many of us left here with this fantastic, but under-supported device. If you can help us, we'd be happy to return the favor.

If you too are cursed with not having enough $ to upgrade etc (or don't want to buy new hardware to replace fully functioning equipment), please pledge to donate to a dev (real pledges only please).

and for those that doubt. If you think this is a hopeless endeavor, if you believe this phone is dead (which many do), then you may as well pledge some $. There is nothing to lose. If we finally get the development we need, it will certainly be worth as much as a paper toss game in the play store. and besides, devs need our thanks in general (I'm considering building a retroactive bounty for Mt).

PS: PG, if you pull off your CM port, this hopeful bounty is all yours.

Lets try and revive this guys. It's a solid phone, it just needs a little love (and google now).

I'll keep track of the pledges in post #2

Well I have been through thick & thin. I LOVED my revo when I got it. But I finally just needed more power than it had.

I finally Gave up & bought a new SIII. HOWEVER I do Still have TWO Revo's in my spare equipment stash I would be willing to at the very least volunteer to Beta test with. I am in the mean time rolling them back to stock as my "insurance Policy" in the event I loose either Mine or my wifes Galaxy's.

I am a doubter I think the revo has some inherent buggyness with the single core proc. But IF a working ICS build can be had... I'm in for 10.
[LG Revolution] pendragon11:
I'm giving this post a slight bump here...

I know there are plenty of fellow Revolution users out there, hoping to see an update in XDA that will bring us out of GB. Not all of us can afford, or desire new phones, especially with big reds new data plans. This generation of phones will probably see more lingerers than most, and so we need another committed dev to help us, even if only once.

We have this pot, which is reasonably large, to commit to development. Please help in any way, either by committing more, or by being our dev savior.

Ps: disparaging us for hoping doesn't help. Don't you think we're down enough from using gb for years after it expired?
[LG Revolution] cpu999:
I will try...

I don't have this device so if anyone wants to test, pm me
[LG Revolution] azoller1:
Did PG ever finish this? I could pick up where he left off, so all you guys have is a GB ROM?
[LG Revolution] pendragon11:
I have this device and am willing to test anything. i am a flashaholic (and i just dropped my tablet...). Yes we are still stuck in GB hell. As far as we know, PG is still working on his port, but this has been the status for some time (no offense PG, I don't expect dev overnight). that being said, any help to fastrack this would be wonderful. While I (and im sure others) will be down to test flash things, they are reasonably cheap on ebay. it is a good phone, and many of us will be lingering in this generation for some time. I am not a dev myself, but believe it should be moderately straightforward. As far as i'm concerned, the bounty goes to whomever places the cornerstone. thank you for your interest, we all really appreciate it
