I read online that Cyanogen got hijacked, went to check it out.. And apparently it's true!

Some idiot they trusted held the site for ransom and now they're moving to cyanogen.org

Hello there, i am considering the N4 but they're selling it for 599€ here in Italy and that's a shame

Is anybody selling it or there's anybody that can buy it for me? :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hello00:
wait for google to restock them or if u are so desperate and cant wait.. buy it at that price!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Razer(x):
I can wait the restock, but still need somebody to buy it for me in the US.

[TouchPad General] PatrickC:
Hey guys,

I work for a ROM Team, LiquidSMOOTH, and one of our developers (hiemanshu) is looking to get a Touchpad to help bring it another AWESOME ROM! But he is a little short on cash. I found this listing for a TouchPad in India http://bangalore.craigslist.co.in/sys/3410712948.html, which is approx $200 USD. I don't think that is too hard to save up, so why don't we try and get this for him!

Any donation counts, nothing is too small!

So, if you're wanting to donate to this cause, post below with what you pledge. Be prepared to pay what you say you will. Once we reach $250 USD (to have some wiggle room in the price if it changes, I would like to reach around $400, as that is the normal market price in India for a Touchpad), I will post his PayPal link so you all can send him what you pledged! I will update this post with the pledges, and with the grand total at the end

Please be prepared to send him what you pledge, don't post and then leave.

Here is a link to our current Touchpad thread, we are currently not able to get RC8 running on the Touchpad, while it runs on all other devices we support. Your pledges, and in turn donations, will help hiemanshu get a Touchpad and bring RC8 and further to it!

Thanks guys!

If you have a FedEx or DHL account, please check on the shipping costs from the US to BANGALORE, India and post the price in the thread. Thanks!

Pledgers:

cajunflavoredbob: Donated his TouchPad if we can cover shipping!

-SGA- : $15 CAD (roughly $5 USD)

nickster1: $20 USD

_patrickc_: $20 USD (I might cover more or less, depending on what we get to, but being a high school student, there isn't much monies flowing through me ;) )

BigShotRob: $10 USD

bouchigo: $10 USD

Pip513: $15 USD

pxldtz: $10 USD

adlerxxx: $10 USD

Total: $110 USD + Donated TouchPad if we can cover shipping

WE'VE REACHED OUR GOAL!! :D

Please send your pledge to paypal@theindiangeek.in .. Go to PayPal, select "send money", use personal and select gift. This helps to keep fees lower with paypal, as it is more of a personal gift you're sending vs a payment
[TouchPad General] anonxlg:
250, 400 usd? lol

just get someone in the us to buy it for like <100 and ship it over
[TouchPad General] PatrickC:
Shipping costs around that. I had a friend in the states that was selling one, and shipping alone is about $200 for it.. Sadly
[TouchPad General] theronkinator:
$200 shipping, is that hand delivered by the Beatles on a magic carpet?
[TouchPad General] PatrickC:
You check prices for shipping to Bangalore, India
[TouchPad General] -SGA-:
If I donate, and you don't reach the required amount of funds, what will happen to my donation?
[TouchPad General] PatrickC:
That's why we're doing pledges. We don't ask for the donation till we have enough pledges to reach the goal.
[TouchPad General] -SGA-:
I can pledge at least $5 CAD, maybe more...
[TouchPad General] rohin_adalja:
I actually have a Brand New Unused HP Touchpad just sitting here, if the pledge picks up that much money, Instead of buying it outside of canada just pledge $200 and it wont take more than $20 shipping from Canada to almost anywhere.
[TouchPad General] hiemanshu:
The "$20" shipping takes a month to reach and a has lot of chances of package getting lost. FedEx/DHL/UPS take 3 days on the other hand. Trying to get one local if I can.
[TouchPad General] nickster1:
I will pledge $20 U.S. Would love to get more developers here. Can't have too many lol.
[TouchPad General] anonxlg:
just looked up prices with these dimensions and weight

Canada Post

that's with 150$ insurance

pretty sure there's tracking with it as well

i say if rohin_adalja is willing to donate/sell the touchpad + shipping, it would be more economical to do it this way

of course, if people are willing to donate enough to buy it locally, why not
[TouchPad General] bouchigo:
I pledge $10.00 USD.

If I had a TP that I personally used daily I'd donate more, but just trying to help since my fiancee still has one, and she may enjoy some liquid smoothness ;)
[TouchPad General] wqt0926:
Hope I have the finance to donate but i can't. Once i have the money i will donate. Thx for your dev guy's effort anyway!
[TouchPad General] cajunflavoredbob:
I'll donate my spare 16GB Touchpad. Shipping needs to be covered, though. I was going to sell it, but this is a better cause.

Here's my XDA Marketplace thread where I was selling it. Description and pictures are in that one.

(New XDA users may not be able to view the thread.)

EDIT: Approximate cost of shipping the tablet via USPS medium flat rate box + $250 insurance + Return receipt is around $60. If you guys can raise that much and send it to me, your dev will have himself a tablet.
[TouchPad General] -SGA-:
Okay, make it $15 from me.
[TouchPad General] PatrickC:
He would prefer to stay away from USPS as their package loss rate is very, very high for India in his experiences.
[TouchPad General] cajunflavoredbob:
Doesn't matter to me. I'll donate mine, as long as shipping is covered. You guys are welcome to pick whichever shipping service you like. The only things I insist on are insurance and signature confirmation to confirm the delivery. This way it doesn't just get left on the doorstep or something like that.
[TouchPad General] hiemanshu:
First off thank you over much. Secondly trying to find someone with a FedEx account or something so we can get it shipped for real cheap about the same price as USPS but 3 days shipping instead of the 3-4 weeks USPS takes to get here. (Its not usps, it the local post offices being bad at handling stuff)
[TouchPad General] cajunflavoredbob:
I'll keep following the thread. Let me know when you guys get things worked out.
[TouchPad General] Pip513:
I'll throw in 15 USD.
[TouchPad General] Y314K:
I tried to see if I could help using my UPS account... But no matter what I try from NEW ORLEANS to BANGALORE I keep ending up at $220+ and that is with the shipping going out on Monday & it won't get there till the following Monday (11/26) or Wednesday (11/28)... So no luck with UPS here... :eek:
[TouchPad General] hiemanshu:
FedEx without an account is at 150. With an account should be about 50% off.
[TouchPad General] Y314K:
_patrickc_ can u add to the first post that we need some one with a discount Fedex account.... Thanks...
[TouchPad General] javip:
i'll toss in $10 :highfive:
[TouchPad General] sahhar1993:
so if we donate can we see cm 10.1 on our touchpad

Envoyé depuis mon cm_tenderloin avec Tapatalk
[TouchPad General] PatrickC:
It's a real possibility. As well as things like CWM6, CWMTouch, and a newly designed TWRP
[TouchPad General] amkaos:
what is this investment for: cm 10.1 or rc8??

just playing the devils advocate: ive seen the community take up a collection and buy a team several devices for a specific project only to watch the project fizzle and fade..

i do understand the credibility of the ppl involved .. i also believe that if i understand that the cm 10.1 and rc8 are completely different..

the cm 10.1 is already underway strong..

the original request was for rc8 and the focus s/b entirely on that -- not twrp etc... or this project too could easily fizzle away..

then again i wonder about rc8 halting hard because of piracy piracy issues

maybe i badly misunderstand

thanx
[TouchPad General] PatrickC:
It started out as just our RC8 build, or any future builds. But he already has a working build of CWM6, and is working on a CWM Touch build also! He did that WITHOUT a TouchPad, so think of what he can do WITH a touchpad! We have one more bug to iron out of the CWM6 build then we will be posting it in the developmental forum.
[TouchPad General] amkaos:
there is already a cwm6 in the dev section..

i dont understand the point of this atall anymore
[TouchPad General] adlerxxx:
from me 10 USD as well.

Tell me should I send it over Paypal to you or direct to our developer?

Yup I will send mine when I get a chance this afternoon. I'm so glad we made it!

Happy to see a new dev is joining and i don't have enough money to donate or pledge but anyway it's a good thing for us touchpad users!
[TouchPad General] :
Money sent :D
[TouchPad General] nickster1:
So did everybody pay who pledged? Are the wheels in motion?
[TouchPad General] hiemanshu:
Just one left. But we already have the wheels in motion :)
[TouchPad General] :
Welcome to the TouchPad development team :D
[TouchPad General] oRAirwolf:
How long until you have the Touchpad? I needs me some Liquid!
[TouchPad General] PatrickC:
We actually have Liquid working :) just not 100%
[TouchPad General] hiemanshu:
Its going to be a week to 10 days to get the touchpad. I am working on the audio patch. Camera next! :)
[TouchPad General] cajunflavoredbob:
Am I still sending this thing out or not?
[TouchPad General] hiemanshu:
Yes you are. Just waiting to hear from the guy with the account about how we are going to get this done. Your PM's are disabled :( Email me @ hiemanshu@gmail.com and we'll get this sorted out :)
[TouchPad General] nitrobg:
Sorry to say it, but this is ridiculous.

Does any of the developers require us to buy them a device so he can start working on any particular ROM? He isn't even starting from scratch, he already has a relatively well working base that only requires small modifications (compared to creating a new ROM from scratch/AOSP that is).

You are basically milking the users for forced donations BEFORE they can see the result, this is the ridiculous part. Create something that is fully working, then ask for money.

Did Dorregaray, SGA, jcsullins, OaT and any of the other devs ever asked us to give them money? They are working on something, posting the partial/final result and when we are happy with it, we donate to them so they know that their work ain't pointless.

Just my 2 cents.
[TouchPad General] oRAirwolf:
I see where you are coming from and to a certain extent, I agree. However, in my personal opinion, Team Liquid makes the best roms by far for every device I have owned and I (and others as shown by the donations) think they have proven themselves worthy of receiving a free $99 tablet.

Now get to making a rom for the Sprint Galaxy Note II!!!
[TouchPad General] cajunflavoredbob:
Piss off. I can do what I like with my things. I choose to give it to a developer. Stop acting so entitled. If people wish to donate to cover shipping, then that's their business, not yours. If you don't want to donate, then don't, but don't pop in here like some spoiled child and throw a tantrum about how this isn't right or whatever you feel about it. The whole point of donations is that they are voluntary. Don't give if you don't want to.

These guys are working on new stuff, and it would be great to have another dev in here. If he needs a touchpad to work on, then why would he not ask around to see if anyone would be willing to help out? I'm sure he's not a millionaire, so asking the community for help is what they choose to do, and I fully support that. It's pretty hard to develop anything for a device you don't have access to, so releasing a finished product is nearly impossible unless you have one to test on. Go troll somewhere else.
[TouchPad General] PatrickC:
Hiemanshu did make something. He ported CWM6,a and is working on CWM Touch. He is also working with me on getting camera and sound working. But it is hard for him to do that remotely, as we're in different time zones.
[TouchPad General] rrrrrrredbelly:
They're not holding a gun to people's heads, if they didn't want to donate, they didn't have to
[TouchPad General] cajunflavoredbob:
How are we coming on this? I could have shipped it out over a week ago. For the price you guys are paying in shipping via FedEx, you may as well buy one of these things locally...

Here's the deal. You guys need to figure this out as soon as possible. I feel like there needs to be a deadline on this, because I'm trying to reduce the amount of gadgets in my house. Please get this together by Monday. Otherwise, I'll be selling it off to someone next week. I'm not trying to be rude here. I'd much rather donate it to a developer than sell it, but at this point, I simply want it out of my house. No offense meant to you guys at all.
[TouchPad General] PatrickC:
Sorry it's taking so long. We are shooting for Monday to get the shipping label. I'm getting it through my work and they don't open again till Monday.
[TouchPad General] cajunflavoredbob:
Alright. I'll wait. At least there is a plan.
[TouchPad General] PatrickC:
Can u please shoot me your address so I can get it to the shipping department?
[TouchPad General] cajunflavoredbob:
So, we're ready to go with this?
[TouchPad General] PatrickC:
Just about. Talked to work today (I work remotely), and they are super swamped today. They didn't ship Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, or Saturday. So they're a little busy today. We should be able to get a label in the next few days (sorry for the delay)
[TouchPad General] cajunflavoredbob:
So, am I shipping this to you and then to him? Or are you sending me a direct label to him?
[TouchPad General] PatrickC:
I'll send you a label to ship directly to him. Keeps shipping costs down.
[TouchPad General] nickster1:
So did you guys send out the label?
[TouchPad General] cajunflavoredbob:
Still waiting.
[TouchPad General] nickster1:
Well I appreciate your patience with these guys. Hopefully it gets worked out quickly.
[TouchPad General] x000x:
same here. we can use all the people we can get to work on our device :)
[TouchPad General] PatrickC:
Sent u a PM
[TouchPad General] cajunflavoredbob:
Responded.

To everyone else: It seems as though we're shipping the tablet out via USPS since we could not secure a FedEx/UPS account that would allow us to ship for cheap. The cost of shipping is roughly $60 including $250 insurance and shipping confirmation to let me know he received it in one piece.
[TouchPad General] nickster1:
Thanks for keeping us up to date.
[TouchPad General] Galtha58:
Touchpads for $100 ??

Haven't seen any Touchpads for $100 in USA lately. Have you?

I paid $300 for mine a while back as I did not catch the original HP deal.

Still seems like an excellent device for the $300 cost to me.

All other 32GB Andriod devices that seem reliable are far more than that.
[TouchPad General] cajunflavoredbob:
Does anyone know how to format an Indian address so that the USPS can read it? I can't make heads or tails of the address I was given. It almost looks like he has four cities in it. :confused:
[TouchPad General] Y314K:
Try reading this... It was the best info i found online..... Good info on mailing from the USA to India... Make sure u know if u'r mailing to a rural or a urban address...

http://www.columbia.edu/~fdc/postal/#india

Also read this for extra bit of info...

http://www.bitboost.com/ref/international-address-formats/india/

Are u using USPS online to create the postage or are u going to a post office to get it done there ??

Hope it helps... Never mailed anything that far myself... :cool:
[TouchPad General] cajunflavoredbob:
Thanks for the info. I was trying to do it online to make it easier for me. My local post office is always backed up in the mornings, so it's easier to print online and drop it off.

Even after reading that, I'm still not certain of which bits are which, so I've PM'd hiemanshu to ask how it should be formatted. Thanks for the help, though.
[TouchPad General] hiemanshu:
Replied :)
[TouchPad General] cajunflavoredbob:
Here's the update. I've gotten everything formatted correctly (I think) with hiemanshu's help. The package will be shipped tomorrow. It is insured for $250. The customs value is $0.01 to avoid customs tax. It is being shipped as a commercial sample piece for the same reason. The package requires a signature. The delivery estimate is approximately 10 business days. There was no option for tracking. A screenshot of the online receipt will be PM'd to hiemanshu. He should be receiving one anyway in his gmail account, though.

Best of luck to you guys.
[TouchPad General] oRAirwolf:
Thanks cajunflavoredbob!! You are awesome for doing this!
[TouchPad General] turnerlaura05:
Thank you so much!!!
[TouchPad General] Y314K:
Great to hear... Now we just wait for landing confirmation by hiemanshu in about two weeks(International shipping is even less precise then US shipping)... Big Thanks to CajunFlavoredBob & everybody else that donated for shipping... :highfive:
[TouchPad General] Bagbug:
The Asus TF300 32g can be found @ $300 and it wipes the floor with the TP
[TouchPad General] eyeb:
i know this thread is pretty much done, just saw the comment, but local craigslist has touchpads around $100

http://kansascity.craigslist.org/ele/3431081674.html being a recent one near me

on CL, most likely at least in the KC area, you can talk people down about $25-50 for something in the $100-200 price range, a lot more going for the $150-200 right now, but I see one or two going in the $100-150 range every month or two

also ebay has some like this post http://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-TouchPad...00857831740?pt=US_Tablets&hash=item2ec40f493c for a 32gb going for $113

edit: good luck with the TP, not using mine too much now but glad people are still using it. I just like webos and not much on that side for developement, android side takes a bigger battery hit than I want currently :(
[TouchPad General] cajunflavoredbob:
Patrick contacted me saying the package has not yet arrived. Unfortunately, I can't do anything until 30 days after shipping it out. The estimate of 10 business days was from my local post office with the understanding that this number can fluctuate depending on Hiemanshu's local post office. Hopefully he gets it Soon, but if not, I will begin a claim when I can.
[TouchPad General] nickster1:
Thanks for the update. I've been wondering what was going on. I really hope it gets there too. If India's mail system is anything like their traffic system we are in trouble. :what:
[TouchPad General] cajunflavoredbob:
Here's the information I have for the package. It is not trackable for me once it leaves the US. Considering it was in Florida only four days ago, I'm assuming it has not made it all the way to his Indian address just yet. There are still 20 days to go before I can claim anything.

My address and the package number are blocked out on purpose for privacy. Hiemanshu should have an e-mail with the tracking number as well, to confirm this.
[TouchPad General] hiemanshu:
I do, and I have been tracking it on the Indian Post Office website everyday just to know if its arrived in India yet.
[TouchPad General] nickster1:
Ok what's the word? Did the TP make it?
[TouchPad General] cajunflavoredbob:
No way for me to tell anymore. hiemanshu may be able to track it now, as it should be in India by now, I'm sure.
[TouchPad General] hiemanshu:
Nope hasn't yet reached India, atleast no tracking is available yet. Still waiting.
[TouchPad General] hiemanshu:
Just an update. No update yet. Can't seem to be able to track it yet.
[TouchPad General] nickster1:
That is not good. You should have received it by now right?
[TouchPad General] Y314K:
Not worry about it yet... Non UPS/Fedex/DHL international shipping is odd... There are many faces where there can be delays... Not sure how the holidays can affect the India side of it... But I wouldn't be surprise if he doesn't get it a week or two after New Year's....
[TouchPad General] cajunflavoredbob:
I actually never thought about the holiday traffic. Let's hope that this is the reason.

If it doesn't arrive, by 02 January, I'll file a complaint about it.
[TouchPad General] Y314K:
Yeah.. There are a lot of countries where government entities shut down for weeks around this time, although I doubt Post Offices shut down for that long... I guess Hiemanshu can give us a better idea of the Holiday & New Year schedules/delays in India... I would think the New Year affects it more then Xmas but still or it might be regional in India... Maybe Hiemanshu can educate us on this... :fingers-crossed:
[TouchPad General] hiemanshu:
As far as I know, only 2 days the post offices are closed, 25th and 1st Jan. But it isn't in India yet, which means its closed somewhere in europe I assume.
[TouchPad General] cajunflavoredbob:
It seems the Touchpad was lost in transit. I will be filing a claim in the afternoon tomorrow. Proceeds to hiemanshu to buy one locally on the condition that he return the one I sent if it ever arrives.
[TouchPad General] oRAirwolf:
Man that sucks. No good deed goes unpunished I guess...
[TouchPad General] x000x:
USPS has such crappy tracking service compared to ups or fedex.
[TouchPad General] SamsungGalaxyFan:
Hahahah
[TouchPad General] nitrobg:
Let me get this clear, you have paid $200 for shipping and $200 more for a tablet and right now it is 'supposedly' lost in transit and you'll get him a new one? Can't you see that you are getting scammed twice and you will give him 2 tablets for free? These kids nowadays...

Oh God my sides. Never ever trust a stranger.
[TouchPad General] PatrickC:
We are not scamming. We will return the money to its owners since it didn't happen.
