:D :D WE DID IT!!!!! :D :D​

-----------------------------------------------------------------------​

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!

just coming in it to say :

Please read the op , I have been over the guidelines I insisted on for this to actually happen with the OP .

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] cdshepherd:
I'll drop 20 on it.

I don't think we'll have a shortage of devs......but I do love his work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] aspidites73:
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! :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scythe024:
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.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ManelScout4Life:
Put me in for 30$, we need a real dev!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Lazy361:
I got 20 on it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] lyall29:
I can give $10.00.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] aspidites73:
Wish777, Yes, donations will be through paypal but DO NOT send any money now. Please post with an amount you can pledge. There is not a required amount, it is simply what you can afford. Please post and let us and DAGr8 know we can count on your support! Thank you! :good:

EDIT: Wish777, your edited post has been seen and counted. Thank you!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] aspidites73:
Scythe024, That May be the case. Hopefully Samsung has made it so. This thread is to get DAGr8 a Note 2, He does not have one and was not planning on getting one. I want him to have one NOW so we may have who I consider to be amongst the top DEVs, minimally, a master in his work. His work (and the work of people who contributed their time helping him) has given us some great ROMs for the origional Note. His Hybrid rom rocks and, to my knowledge, his King Kang ROM is quite popular and was done, from the ground up, by him. If you can afford to, and if you want to, please pledge what you can. Every bit helps, and is appreciated. Keep in mind, this is my idea. I asked DAGr8 if I could do it. DAGr8 in no way started me on this quest! :fingers-crossed:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] aspidites73:
Thanks to everyone who has pledged so far.

I was hitting the "thanks" button for everyone who donated but, I ran out of thanks to give. XDA only allows 8/day. I will catch up!. Meanwhile, thank you, everyone! Together we will make this happen! :fingers-crossed:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Artimus009:
Not bad...$405 so far! 350 to go.! I'm sure we can get this done!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] aspidites73:
YES! lets keep up the hard work. Anyone may share the link to this thread, where it's appropriate. Thanks again, everyone! With DAGr8 on our side, we all win! :good:

Wish I could do more

Count me in for $5. the purchase of the Note pretty well wiped out my disposable income. always glad to have another dev on board.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] pterry30:
You can put me down for $25.00.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mthguy:
Total?

could we get a total pledged in the second post, I don't like having to do the math each time to see how close we are. also, what is the goal total, 649.99? what other fees/taxes/shipping&handling can we plan for?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Artimus009:
445 so far...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] aspidites73:
|OP| #2 has been updated per your request, good idea, and sorry for not thinking of it myself. As far as total is concerned, do you know of a no contract deal for $649.99? Please let me know. Best buy Canada, from what I understand, is charging $750. Please help (everyone) find us the best deal possible. Only reputable businesses please. I'm not going to ask DAGr8 to buy a craigslist phone that doesn't have a bill of sale. Sales tax and paypal's 3.8% charge on using their service are the only additional fees.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] garyd9:
650 is AT&T's no-commitment (no contract) price.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] turilo:
I'm in Canada myself and Rogers plus stores sell them commitment free I believe at $649, I was told best buy cant sell them commitment free until a month later from release day?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] aspidites73:
DAGr8 is in Canada. At&t pricing does us no good. even if we bought it to send to him, there will be customs fees and shipping. We are looking into it and may have a line on a $650/ no contract phone. Until we are closer, keep the pledges coming. I assure you that monies will not be wasted. We will find the best price, period. Thank you, Everyone!

Update on our mission

Hello everyone. Thank you very much to all those who have pledged. We have not won yet but, we are well on our way. Let us remain focused and get this done, for the sake of our Note2! We are currently @ $495 USD. I am proud of all who have stepped up to the plate and pledged what they can. You should be proud also! We are doing something that has given some poor results in the past. I have seen several "bounty" threads end up as a pissing match. We have not done that! We remain focused on our goal. Getting a great DEV on our team, DAGr8! I want to take a moment to say that it is inevitable that we will see people trying to distract us. I, for one, am not responding to these people. They don't deserve our attention. Although I am not complaining or flagging anyone, we have a MOD who is diligently watching our thread for those who have nothing good to contribute to our cause.

One final thought. We have had nearly 1500 views to this thread, yet only a small group of proud Note 2 owners have stepped up and pledged what they can. This cause is for everyone to enjoy! Please pledge what you can. Every dollar gets all of us closer. Thank you!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ishmael2:
I'm in for $10, probably more later but pay day until Friday, when I buy my Note 2!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jbplumbing.ca:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] QwaarJet:
I really needed a phone and got impatient, canceled my pre-order and got a LG Optimus G.

I'd feel like a **** if I withdrew my $50, so I'll modify my donation to $25 just for the sake of supporting a good developer and the community.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] imitenotbecrazy:
Played with one at work. Blows. Sorry for your loss. At least you have 14 days to return it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] aspidites73:
Qwaarjet, This was never about keeping score or being the highest donor. It is about donating what you feel you can and/or should. $25 is appreciated the same as any other contribution. I am glad, as should everyone else, that you kept the community aware, and posted your intentions. We can only hope those who have pledged have remained honest and fair with their pledges. We will only find out when it comes time to donate. Some are saying "these never collect at 100%". I, for one, believe they are wrong. I hope I am correct. You made a noble choice and amended your pledge instead of simply donating less when the time comes. Thank you. :good:

EDIT: Speaking of "time to donate", we are almost there. I respectfully ask all those who have pledged to be ready to follow through very soon. I will update everyone when it is time to donate.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] aspidites73:
Upped my own anti...who's in?

Hello all, In the true spirit of keeping things going, I just upped my pledge another $10 to $60! We are very close so let's keep the pressure on. Tell your friends who are getting a note 2 about this thread. If you have any other forums you participate in, and it would be appropriate to do, post a link there. It would be a shame to have gone this far to simply stall. I understand there is a lot of frustration out there regarding AT&T dragging their feet. Don't let it get you down. They Will Come, and when they do, DAGr8 will be ready to put his experience to work for US! :highfive:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DAGr8:
Well you guys did it.. you got me believing...

I'm actually excited about getting the note 2 now :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Moose0704:
Glad to hear it! Look forward to you builds! :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rocket42:

imitenotbecrazy was right, I'm not happy with the LGOG :crying: Sorry for my moment of weakness, been without a phone ever since Sprint terminated my contract nearly 2 weeks ago, having severe Android withdrawls! Returning the LGOG and staying strong for the Note II!! Plz re-up me to $50. Sorry OP :\
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] aspidites73:
Not quite there yet

We still have a little bit to go. Please help us get the last bit. We now have $695. Assuming we get every dollar pledged, I am confident we will, we still need to cover sales tax and paypal fee. I will be PM'ing a link to DAGr8's paypal soon. Alternatively, you can just hit DAGr8's donate button. If you do, please be sure to put in the comment section "for note 2" and PM me the confirmation number so I may keep track and keep everyone updated. I don't believe in a "wall of shame" so I won't be crossing off peoples names in the |OP|. It is your business, not anyone elses. :fingers-crossed:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] aspidites73:
No problem Qwaarjet, welcome back! |OP| being updated as i write this

Phone Cost Estimate

Rogers Canada, the same as at&t, will not sell the phone flat out. I checked this on both site by selecting "no commitment" price and was given a list of month to month plans. I have someone looking into this. If it can be done, Roger's out the door price is $734.49. PayPal charges 3.8% (it is cheaper for Canadians to donate to Canadians, There is surcharge for international donations) to use their service so, we need to collect $800 to net $736. AS of this post, we are at $715, so we need $85 and 100% follow through on the donations. At this time, please, everyone who has pledged, start hitting DAGr8's donate" button here: DAGr8 Donation or you can go to any DAGr8 post and click his "Donate to me" button. Both of these go to his same PayPal account. Please leave a not in the comment section "donation for Note 2" to make it easier. As of this writing, people have started to follow through. I am already receiving PM's of confirmation numbers. After you donate to DAGr8, please send me a PM with confirmation number so I can keep everyone up to date. Thank you, everyone who pledged!! It looks like we are going to do it, and better than anyone else who has tried. We should all be proud!!!! ~Aspidites73

PS. I just sent DAGr8 my $60!!!

If everyone sends an extra $2.50, we will have hit our goal (hint hint) :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] aspidites73:
To all who have pledged, and those who have already followed through

Well, we are off to an awesome start with the donations. 5 people, as of this writing, have already followed through. Please follow |OP| #3, in this thread, for updates to our cause. I want to update frequently but, at the same time, not clog this thread with posts. We can still use a donation or two. Anyone that is about to donate, If you donate an extra $2.50 with your pledge amount, we will have reached our goal!!! Of course, we do need 100% follow through. There is no margin available. Thank you, everyone, for your work so far. I am proud to have hosted such a well mannered thread! You all deserve everything coming our way! When all of the donations are in, I will make it official!

Please see |OP| #3 for all Updates

chriskwarren: Yes, now is the time to donate. As long as we get 100% of donations, we should hit our goal. I asked, just to be safe, that anyone who could, please add $2.50 to your donation. Some have added more. Some have donated their pledge. This is not a requirement. It is simply a safety net for us. I do ask that everyone make good on their pledge amount, at least. It is, simply put, fair to all who have pledged.

vcouture: Please follow through by donating your pledge as soon as you can. You can do so here: Donate to DAGr8 or by clicking on the "donate to me" button in any of DAGr8's posts. Both links go directly to DAGr8. He is the ONLY one handling money, they are his donations, from us, for a Note 2.

To everyone Please follow my updates located in |OP| #3. All the information you should need is there.

Last but not least, Please PM me with your confirmation and donation amount. It will make it easier for me to keep track, and will also help me to keep you updated. Thank you everyone!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] chriskwarren:
OK. I know enough since joining XDA to follow the OP as close as possible. The OP clearly said not to donate yet, so I didn't. ;p

So, in the spirit of XDA and anally following directions, I agreed to $30 donation, I was asked to donate $2.50 more, so I donated $40 naturally. The math works on this end. Conformation 2TD28625HH097211X .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] aspidites73:
Chriskwarren, You did follow directions. I was the one who made the mistake of not updating all 3 |OP|. Many threads have multiple |OP| because sometimes there are so many updates, to keep them in one |OP| would get confusing. I have learned from you and have updated the original |OP| to reflect that people should now follow |OP| #3. Thank you for the lesson learned! More importantly, Thank you for following through with your pledge, even above and beyond your pledge. Your money is appreciated, as everyone's is. I learned a theory when I studied Biology called Emergent Properties. Basically it means that the whole is sometimes greater than the sum of its parts. More simply, and biologically speaking, 1+1 can, and does, sometimes =3. This thread supports that theory in that the sum of our parts is a donated phone that will equate to many phones running better, and many users being happier. You, and everyone else that has donated so far are the ones who will reap the benefits. Thanks again! ~Aspidites73 :highfive:
