[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vomer:
Hi guys,

I have received multiple requests to support and create rom's and firmware guides for the M8 (and other phones but the M8 was the top requested).

Background: As many of you may know, I make stock based rom's and guides to simplify things for new and advanced users alike. It's all about information consolidation while keeping things up to date. I currently support the N5 and the HTC One M7.

After doing this for a few years now... I have come to realize that people really appreciate this :) unfortunately, I cannot support some devices (or only support them in a very limited manner) since I do not have the hardware to work with. My philosophy is not to post anything unless it has been tried and tested thoroughly by me - this makes sure that everything works!

All this led to idea the idea I had for Project-DroidSourced

It's pretty simple:

- The community pitches in (kickstarter-like) to collect funds for the device they want supported

- We purchase the device using the crowd sourced funds - all receipts and pictures of bought items will be shared publicly

- The purchased device is used as the testing bed for rom, firmwares, bootloader unlocks or guides (depending on what is being developed/supported)

- Finally, the device is GIVEN AWAY back to the community as a raffle/contest after a period of time (likely near the end of the device's yearly cycle).

Note:

- I am not doing this for any monetary gain myself. I do not accept "donations" for what I do - knowledge should be free and should be shared.

- This is just an idea I had seeing a large community interest from my previous work - no need to take anything negatively.

This is the first place I am sharing this idea - and the M8 will be the first device in this program if there is interest/uptake.

Feel free to ask any questions or share ideas.

Thanks :)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Where I think it could work, but you'd have to have like 1 master paypal account [one you create] in this scenario.

Secondly, you'd have to keep a book, xcel sheet, to basically keep tabs on the money supported, and then tell people, when you spend their funds, to what device it went to. It'd be a self kept treasury log. Additionally, perhaps use a public google drive file so it can be viewed at any time. I say view only so it isn't tampered with, but the transparency is there. Then again, that part would have to voted on as people may not want their names | contributions, even if by xda name.

Lastly, you'd have to figure a way to give it away randomly, or give the device randomly to the people's funds that went towards that particular device.

It's not a bad idea, but with the above, I think it could be managed correctly.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vomer:
Agreed with all those comments. Each supported device would have an upper donation limit and would be it's own sub project.

A public excel sheet with donation amounts/users would also be setup. I want to keep things transparent.

I am also thinking of building a team for this so we can cover a larger range of devices :) also could lead to a ROM series
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Well, when you say upper limit, I think it should be explicitly stated that it'd be a tiered system [regarding 'eligibility' for raffle device]. Cause i could see some quick mutinies when a guy who gave 1$ gets a device and a guy who gave 50$ didn't get anything. Again, not saying it's shady, but just to clear up front.

Regarding teams, I think that would be required, but a dev team member shouldn't be entered to win the same device they work on, cause it may same they are getting special treatment.

:silly:
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vomer:
Yes, all great points. Noted and agreed.

What I meant by upper limit was the total amount donated (to cover the device). Users are free to donate as they see fit.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Ah well of course.

Though i think you could treat the pot as a 2 for 1:

- [some] people will donate to a specific device, which their funds will go towards it

- others will donate just blindly, not caring; they get notified prior to, to take care of the remaining funds

That way you'd be almost guaranteed every device could be funded, and all relevant parties viable to get it.

Also, i'm heading out; I'll be back later when it's not now. Take care

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jason78729:
I think its a great idea. There's nothing more comforting than seeing your new phone now has a ROM developed by somebody you've come to trust. If I bought a phone and saw the right developers (including you) asking for money to buy a dev device to speed up the development process, I'd definitely be willing to send $10/$20 dollars to ensure my new phone has quality support. Thirty guys per phone agree in principle at $20 a piece, that's $600 that can buy the phone to start development.

I'd suggest getting flar2 to mirror his ElementalX kernel to any ROM you develop by also raising enough money for him to support the phone as well. This is just my opinion for kernel support. Many android users like kernel options, especially stable options.

Or.... I'll trade my m8 for your n5. Come on. You don't want that thing anymore ;) Then everyone is happy!

Great idea Vomer, I would support :good:
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sam razzy:
A good idea but currently I have a device which you supports but I can help this team in funding ...
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vomer:
Thanks for the input :) Yes, I agree that having a few developers and knowledge consolidators on board will help - but it's also up to them if they want to join.

But then how will I support my N5 buddies? :p

Thank you :)

Thanks :) I wanted to gauge feedback first to see what people think. I do not want people to think that this is a pay for service type thing - it's more for a development device and reaching a standard of information delivery :)

hey everyone.

this has been asked before im sure, but i didnt find any recent threads.

i am moving across the country soon. will be in a pick up truck, not a moving truck. i will be going through alottttt of areas with no cell coverage, and where im moving i get 1 bar. i forgot to check the db when i was just out there. I am on AT&T (with a note 3 if it matters).

anyway, i was looking at this booster set up.

http://www.ubersignal.com/wilson-460...-carriers.html

on the wilson site, it says only use the antenna that comes with it. its a magnet mount, but i want something more perminant. does the antenna matter much? can i use a window mount antenna? would a cb antenna be better? also, what else can i add to make my signal as strong as possible, or is that booster the best i can use and cant make it stronger? diy solutions are very welcome

once our house is built, im either going to get a microcell or outdoor antenna to help.

thanks all

[Verizon LG G2] mindninja15:
Ever since flashing a Kitkat rom (currently on the most recent PA release), I have had a large amount of trouble sending MMS. Sometimes I can't send them at all, and receiving them takes forever. With SMS, it seems like every now and then it takes multiple minutes to receive a text (With hangouts I can check and see that it was sent 5 or more minutes prior to when I got it). I've also noticed that my signal seems weak for some strange reason. It's always 1 or 2 bars, and my family's iPhones are all 4 bars. If anybody could help with my problem it would be appreciated. Thanks!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] coreya1:
Hey all,

Recently, my Galaxy will not download any sort of MMS messages, whether they be picture messages or part of group messages. The message will just be a pending download for a minute or two, then stop and say "Error: network error occurred". I have contacted AT&T tech support many times, where they reset my phone's connection to the network. I will get exactly two MMS to come through and then the problem starts again. Every third MMS, I have to contact tech support again.

My phone is rooted with towelroot, but I noticed the problem before I rooted it. Any suggestions on what this might be? I'm about at the point of trying a factory restore on the phone to see if it fixes it, but I'd rather not if at all possible. Thanks!

Has anyone looked into or thought about getting adb over usb working? The hardware is capable of it, because fastboot works.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hornetster:
Nexus 4 with stock (originally 4.4.2), which wouldn't update to 4.4.3, due to TWRP being installed, so when 4.4.4 came around, thought I would download and flash myself. Not a huge expert, but have certainly flashed several phones successfully previously.

Initially using the Nexus Root Toolkit, unrooted etc, downloaded the correct file from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images, tried to update, and would not write the radio file (waited for ages), tried to do using adb etc, no go.

Finally downloaded the 4.4.2 image, and using fastboot, this successfully did everything up to userdata, erased userdata successfully, and sent file, but never completes writing. (writing 'userdata'...) If I reboot, just gets stuck on the 4 circles.

Have installed CWM and tried doing a factory reset, but can not mount data....

Anyone able to assist?

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hornetster:
Panic over...

Perseverence seemed to pay off. Just did more of the same, and tried installing the userdata by itself. Seems to have worked.

But now am stock, and still doesn't seem to want to install the updates....
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hornetster:
Well, thought it was stock, but the latest OTA didn't install. Don't really know why, as I wasn't watching, but it did the download, then kicked off the install, but when I came back to it, was just sitting at the home screen, no messages and the update hadn't happened - still sitting on 4.4.2.

I had flashed 4.4.2, and I thought the only bit that hadn't worked was the userdata, which I flashed separately, recovery has been flashed to stock recovery...

Why hasn't it updated?

And how can I tell if 'everything' is stock?

Thanks.

[General Questions and Answers] minhdangoz94:
Security breaches crop up every now and again, they happen to both the biggest and smallest companies, but this latest exploit is a particularly odd one. It turns out that certain MediaTek based smartphones can be remotely rebooted from a simple text message.

[IMG="MTK"]http://cdn02.androidauthority.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/MediaTek-Feature-Image.jpg[/IMG]

French blogger Korben discovered the vulnerability, which you can see an example of in the video at the bottom. The exploit involves simply texting the seemingly harmless “=” symbol (without quotes) to a handset, which then causes the smartphone to turn off and reboot.

One supposed solution to this problem is to just install an alternative message app and stop using the one that comes preinstalled with the smartphone. However, Korben has found that the problem can still persist even when switching over to another ROM. This suggests that the bug is actually coming about from a combination of software and hardware issues, or something inbetween, that is only affecting a small selection of MediaTek based manufacturers.

I think there's something else wrong. There's quite a few, including myself that are receiving the same error with the OTA and have never rooted or even unlocked the boot loader. I'm on a Nexus 5 completely stock. I received the 4.4.3 OTA with no issues at all last week, but now after 4 separate attempts at 4.4.4, all 4 times failed. I even did a full system restore and immediately received the system update notification, only to have that one fail too. So whatever is going on has nothing to do with modifying the system because I haven't missed with anything. Unless we have completely different issues. But it doesn't seem like it?
