TOTAL BOUNTY SO FAR: ~$7,808.55 AS OF 7Mar2008
As of March 7th this thread will be closed and we will no longer be accepting any more pledges!
WHY:
1. It is becoming a logistical problem to contact everyone should a driver ever be made and released.
2. Leaving the donations going encourages people to wait so they can get more money. I think we've raised plenty enough for someone to be motivated to work on this.
3. It doesn't appear we will ever solve this problem (at least without the help of HTC).
4. Donations have slowed to a trickle anyway.
BIG THANKS TO Jimmyy WHO HELPED KEEP THE RUNNING TOTAL!!!
Problem: Our Kaisers currently lack proper D3D (direct 3d) drivers and are therefore performing at a fraction of their actual capabilities. This results in poor video playback, poor camera/image performance, and bad performance in video games and other video-intensive software.
As of yet, HTC has not given a reasonable response to our petition, many calls, and emails. They have given us no reason to believe they will be providing a solution at any time in the future.
EDIT: It has come to my attention that the above statement is not 100% accurate - it's slightly more complicated than that. Chainfire (the dev who is pushing the charge on getting these drivers working) was kind enough to provide a more accurate statement:
Chainfire said:
"Our Kaisers currently lack drivers for hardware accellerated display functionality. A full set of these drivers would significantly speed up ALL drawing operations, including the user interfaces of normal applications, video playback, games and 3D rendering."
"There are different parts to these drivers, namely for 2D (user interfaces, video, images) and 3D graphics (games). It is not yet sure even IF these drivers will be available soon, and if they are, which parts will be accellerated."
"The plan, ofcourse, is to provide a full set. Though this will most likely not include a speed up for the camera."

The solution: We have people here working on getting hardware-accelerated display drivers working on our Kaisers. (See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=339745)
This thread is here so anyone who wishes can pledge money to the person who brings us the solution. Just post how much you are willing to give and I will add you to this first post.
DO NOT OFFER MONEY IF YOU'RE NOT WILLING TO GIVE IT WHEN AND IF THE SOLUTION BECOMES AVAILABLE. THAT'S WORSE THAN TAKING HOME FOOD FROM AN ALL YOU CAN EAT BUFFET AND YOU WILL BE SHUNNED AND RIDICULED. FOR THE REST OF YOUR DAYS, PEOPLE WILL CALL YOU A YELLOW BELLIED COWARD.
If you can't give a lot, offer a little, if you can't offer a little, don't worry about it.
(Whoever gets these drivers working, you'll need to send us your paypal address. )
Note: No obligation to pay up if HTC, AT&T, or some other company comes up with the solution first - we've already given them enough.
So I'll put up $10 - I know it's modest but I'm poor as hell.

for a complete set of working drivers i would pay $50.00 for being smarter than those morons at htc.
and for a set of drivers that at least improve me experance $20.00
Put me down for $50 to the person that figures it out.
As I stated before, this thing is SLOOOWWWW. :-(
How would you contact those who "pledge" a donation. I'm guessing the end total will be significantly less than what was offered over the period of testing and development as people move on, lose interest or just don't pay.
I'm going to pledge $10 as my use is email and word documents mostly. I'm business oriented and look for the fastest ROM possible to keep up with my multitasking. I don't have any audio or video loaded on my Tilt.
I just want to support free thinking and hard work. Just contact me via PM or email and I'll send the money.
Dave
@Dave
I was planning on contacting people via PM when the goal is reached, or if the thread got really long, having some people help me.
That said, don't offer money if you're not willing to pay. That's no different than stealing.
CURRENT BOUNTY: $90
I'll put up $50 just because I'm embarassed that I lack the brain power (and time) to figure this out on my own.
I should have money after the first of the year, I'd definitely put up some money then!!

as this thread grows update the first post with the user names and pledge amounts of all people who want to contribute.
in my opinion if you pledge to contribute and dont you might ought to be banned from this forum. as the name xda-DEVELOPERS suggests we DEVELOP. weather its because have the knowledge to write the code for some of the amazing programs found here or because we donate and appreciate and promote the people who spend countless hours away from their families and in front of their pc thinking and making break throughs that we all use.
20 euros
For a full set of working drivers that improve the performance.
Unless htc fixes this , they wont get my money lol.
I will give $50 bucks to whoever fixes this problem which is a pain in the neck. I am checking the forums 10 times a day hoping something pops up. Hopefully soon. This thread great idea btw for driver development encouragement.
50 bucks to whoever solves this
I hope that this doesnt make people just work for themseves instead of work together

Hmm got a point there.
Someone should collect the money and split it when the devs work together on this.
I don't think there is anything wrong with a little friendly competition!
It's not like we're dealing with a whole lot of money here anyway in the general scheme of things.
I see the more likely scenario being that the dev finishes his work and then sits around and waits to get the most out of this thread. Although I don't think any of our devs would do that as it is blatantly dishonest...

I updated the first post with numbers. Let me know if I missed anyone.
why not simply use Chainfire's paypal account on his taisertweak site instead of empty talks ?

BUT if the developer waits to let the money go up he/she is risking someone else nipping in there before them and claiming the money!
Hey, guys, need more exposure? Do I frontpage this thread?
I'll offer up US$50 to he/she/them that improves the video drivers a bit.
Further to some of the comments above, I tend to believe that if people work together (here), they credit each other fully in writing at all opportunities (community spirit, etc.). I therefore don't suspect that someone will get "greedy" and furthermore believe that if there are 2 or 3 people who end up solving the problem, they will happily split the money.
Am I old-fashioned? Probably. Too trusting? Yes, (at least until crossed once...)
I think a "cash pool" will work just fine Personally, in my programming days many years ago, it was the "buzz" from finding a solution rather than the immediate reward that did it for me. Granted I was earning a salary at the time but tell me I'm wrong ...
Best regards and good luck,
Gary.

My wife and I have an online store and want to drive more traffic to our site. We are creating coupons that you may redeem online only. Having said that, would you rather (if purchasing an item ~$30.00 USD) . . .
(A) 10% off coupon on your next purchase.
(B) Free shipping on your next purchase.
(C) Other.
well first off, i live so far away that it doesn't matter to me, but i think that the decision would be easier if i had an idea of what it is you sell.
ie free shipping means nothing on something which would fit into a flat envelope, and 10% off a next purchase wouldn't be great if the product costs $$$s to ship etc.
or if the products are a thing you may want more than one of then a 3 for 2 offer (or similar) or buy this and something free
but anyway i would prefer free shipping, it makes it so much easier to search and buy online, and i hate having to search a site for a product and then search the same site to find the shipping costs
Honestly, I tend to shop at stores that offer free shipping. Or Free Shipping with $50 order or whatever. I hate getting my cart all ready and Thinking, "Cool $99.98." Then Going to check out and getting charged $128.56
we typically charge $5.00 flat rate for shipping. we can't simply increase our price on all our products to always have "free shipping." so we're thinking about adding coupons to the shipping boxes to increase traffic to our site and/or repeat customers.
Hi I’ve been angsting over which device to buy and finally decided on the tytnii so now I’ve been searching around for good places to buy it (at good prices). Places like expansys seem to be out (horrible reviews) and most other places seem to be selling it in the mid $700 range. Amazon seems to be the best bet at the moment (not ideal but can settle) however I wanted to check and see if anyone else could recommend any better places for cheaper prices.
A wee bit of background. I’m working in Afghanistan at the moment, will be going back to the states in about a week (then coming back to Afg). Sh*t happens here so it seems like getting a warranty/insurance would be a good idea (looking at squaretrade.com at the moment) which would set me back an additional $180 or so.
Any suggestions on getting a phone for a better price, insurance, etc would really be appreciated!
Cheers

You didn't mention who your provider is. If you have ATT you can get them new for $549.99 (retail price) and if you don't mind signing a 2 year contract on the line you can get a good deal below:
New ($299):
http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-ph...etails/?device=AT&T+Tilt(TM)&q_sku=sku1060009
Refurbished (149.99):
http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-ph...s/?device=AT&T+Tilt+(Refurb)&q_sku=sku1190046
As for insurance I've seen this place recommended a lot:
http://www.safeware.com/
if u r going to sign 2yr than get from amazon.com as they have fantastic prices.
p.s. i got mine for 75 after 50.00 mail in rebate w/2yr.
Amazon has a great price, but the fine print. Conditional $250 Discount
The Price listed above for this phone includes an instant $250 discount from Amazon.com. You agree to repay this $250 discount to Amazon.com if, during the six-month period following the activation date or renewal date of your existing contract, you: (1) fail to pay your balance due each month on time; (2) fail to maintain your account in good standing; (3) disconnect the line of service; (4) transfer the phone to another line of service; (5) change your service rate plan, including canceling or removing required PDA, BlackBerry, or smartphone features after your product has shipped; or (6) use this line of service to replace an existing account with the carrier. The discount is available only if you are activating a new non-substitute line of service or extending an existing line of service. If you do not follow these rules, you authorize Amazon.com to charge your credit card $250 as reimbursement of the discount without need for further approval."
I would stick with AT&T.
Buy it here, service is really good and prices are the best:
R & D Marketing, LLC

They also sell on ebay:

i bought this phone and im still not 100% convinced by it.
its got a lot of capablities and features but i wouldnt pay more than $200 for it...
i personally paid more than $400 for mine just 2 weeks ago.

Hey Guys,
NOTE: Hey guys, I will be busy for a few months. Between moving and holidays. EugeneKay will head this up. He has already spoken with the CM team and cyanogen.
He will put up the donation link so you guys can start feeding the money to him. He will take the money and buy the devices and ship them.
NOTE AGAIN: There is NO promised time frame on how long this will take. But cyanogen said he will do his BEST.
Let's all chip in and buy 3 nooks for the CM team. One should go to koush for recovery. and the other two can go to whomever wants them.
Let me know what you guys think. I did this with the G2. and it worked out quite well.
Thanks!
Disclaimer:
I have spoken with Cyanogen, and he has said that he will give the Nook Color a go. However, there is NO GUARANTEE OR TIMETABLE for a CM release on the Nook Color.
The Concept of Donating
It is my opinion that the best way to get CM onto the nook(and tablets in general) is to get Nook Colors sent out to the CM crew members who are interested in the device. So far, a total of 5 of these great devices have been put into the hands of devs, and I would like to continue the trend.
Please note that there are MANY problems with making CM into a tablet OS - the biggest of these(per cyanogen) is that the Android UI was designed for much smaller screens. Getting Nooks into the hands of people doing Android development work is great incentive for them to make it better. So, please just have faith in the CM crew. Anybody who has a CM-supported phone should be able to tell you how good their take on Android is, and I feel that CM is our best bet for a truly awesome Android experience.
Contribute with your Wallet
If you're interested in donating towards buying the CM crew some Nook Colors, there are to options to contribute. The easiest, and the one I would prefer, is for you to PayPal your donations(marked as a Gift) directly to [email protected]. If you are unable or unwilling to use PayPal, using a money order(made out in US $) is also possible. Please PM me and I will send you my mailing address, etc.
I will ultimately be handling the purchasing, decision-making on recipients, and shipping of these devices. Please remember, any donations are just that - donations. There are NO guarantees or strings attached. You're gonna have to have good faith.
If you have any concerns about donating via me, please know that I am not out to screw you, I will have absolute accounting transparency with your donations, and I will speak personally with anybody who asks. rhcp has done this shtick before with the G2(here), and he can vouch for me 100% on this. If you have any doubts, please feel free to email([email protected]) or twitter(@eugenekay) me and I will contact you as soon as I am able.
Spread the Word:
Do you want this to happen? I do! We have 5 Nooks sent out, but the more. the merrier! So, if you know somebody who has a Nook Color, and wants it to be better, show them this thread, tweet the shortlink( http://s.eugenekay.com/tkbxt ), or just give 'em a stern talking-to!

Update: Please mark your donations as a Gift - I will not be accepting anything sent as a Payment. There are two major reasons behind this: 1) PayPal takes a non-refundable 30c fee(even if I use the Refund button) on every transaction plus 2.9% of the total, and 2) I am not comfortable being "on the hook" for the amount of these donations if somebody were to file a dispute on them(it has happened to me in the past).
Update: The first Nook has been purchased! The lucky recipient is @NuroSlam(via Twitter). He is not a member of the CM team per se, but he has a lot of experience in working with Android, CyanogenMod, and integrated linux systems.
Update: The second Nook has been purchased! This one goes to koush, in the interests of getting Clockwork Recovery ported, which will make flashing .zips to replace the whole system in one go easy.
Update: The third Nook is ordered! Benji, aka TheDudesAndroid, will be picking it up tomorrow. Koush and BertoJG have been making good progress on Recovery, so he may be able to jump right into CM6(or 7?) and get us a Recovery-flashable build relatively quickly. Here's to hoping!
Update: Two more CyanogenMod team members, kmobs and cvpcs, have elected to help with the ongoing Nook Color efforts. They picked up their respective nooks over the weekend. I leave status updates to them, but the standard Cyanogenmod ETA still applies: "when it's ready".
ill match for $20

If we get close I can donate. I still need to buy one so I won't have much left.
Hell, I'll go in for twenty. I'd LOVE to see CM on this thing.
I assume that we'll work out the actual payment when we have enough pledges?
Might be hard to reach me over Christmas Break

Good news everyone! [/Prof. Farnsworth]
The bright and talented cvpcs has offered to be our maintainer for CyanogenMod. All he needs now...is a Bionic!
We *do* have 2nd init working on the Bionic, all we need is to wait for koush to get his Droid 3 and write CWM for that, then we can have it ported over to the Bionic (literally almost exactly the same phone) which should take not more than a week.
SO! We need to get cvpcs a Bionic! We have a paypal setup that he will get the money for the Bionic and anyone and everyone who is willing to donate *any amount* can donate if they please.
Clicky:
Our goal is $630*, to get it straight from Verizon! PM me with how much you donated and I'll put your name on a list in the OP! Thanks to everyone who will donate in advance.

As always, the "official" channel is #droidbionic on freenode, come hang out!
*Including tax
9/11/11 update: CVPCS just wanted me to let you guys know this: This will not be *his* Bionic. It will be the community's. He wants everyone to know that and he also says that if there's ever a time where he cannot be the maintainer anymore, he will gladly hand it over to the next person who wants to maintain it. He's not getting this phone because we're throwing money at him and he wants the phone, he's getting this so he can help the community and for us to be able to run CM7 on our devices.
GLiDE-68 just sent you $10...
I think you'll figure it out by the email address similarity... LoL...

I think a 2nd init ROM on the Bionic is going to be kind of a waste unless you have the extended battery.
I tried CM4DX and I was lucky to get 10 hours out of a full charge. Installed ApeX RC3 and was getting 16+ hours on a full charge.
My Bionic is currently giving me about 10 hours of usage without switching off 4G, so I'm guessing that would be about 6 hours on a 2nd init ROM.
I hope I'm wrong... good luck guys!
I was getting 16+ on CM4D2 Froyo and GB, with GPS always on and normal usage. Let's try to keep the thread on topic, though.
Donated 20 this morning. Cant wait for these beast to have CM7, finally got it on my DX enjoyed it for a few months then got a Charge and missed CM7 instantly.
donated $10 to a good cause!
can't wait to start tinkering!
I hope 10 bucks help
15 inbound!
Thanks to everyone who's donated so far! Just hit the $300 mark (about)!
Also, see the OP for an update and a message from cvpcs himself!
Some one asked about this in the Best Buy thread, but I thought it may be worthy of another thread.
Tiger Direct has several bundles which throw in a free book cover and 16GB microsd. To sweeten the deal, they also have a $20 mail in rebate, and if you have an American Express you may qualify for an extra $15 off. This is a pretty good deal if Tiger Direct doesn't charge tax in your state.
Here's links to more info:

$20 Mail in Rebate
$15 Amex offer
After using the tab for about half a day now, I've had some laginess issues which I believe may be due to the Exynos processor-- but I love the screen so much it is worth the compromise.

Try Nova Launcher. TouchWiz is a lagfest. Also as soon as we get a few solid roms going from freeza et al lag will go away.
Ugh tiger is blocked here
