A few good, KNOWLEDGEABLE, patient, info-giving, members to keep an eye over the Q&A section here in G1.
If you would like to be part of this team, please leave a post and we, mods, will get back to you.
We have a spanking new Q&A section lets keep it clean and organized.
PLEASE
Id love to help. Im on here all the time anyways messing with stuff.
I'll help out ^_^ Been a mod/admin of various forums if that helps and its nice to be part of a more developer type forum than just tech.
I'll be dropping in now and then to check and help out where I can. No problem.
im new to xda, but have and will be spending great amounts in these forums. I am a very patient person and also have a good knowledge with android to help users with their Questions!
Sure, Love to help =) Good at support hehe ^^
You know I'm always willing to help mikey
i would love to help moderate this part of the forum
always active member.
I'm almost always on
Let me know if I can be of service.
Mikey, I would love to help!
"I live to serve all believers."
Not as many replies as I expected. I haven't posted a lot here, but I've been using XDA to tinker with my G1 from the day I bought it. I've done customer service or tech support for many years and have plenty of patience to deal with all sorts of users. I think I've gotten to know the community enough that even if I don't have the answer, I know where to start looking.
I'm pretty active and have learned a lot, so I'd be glad to help out.
im still learning about everything on the g1 but im willing to help and pass what i know
Would love to be of some help! I am an Admin on another android site too! I could help you out alot!
I'd like in!
I like this forum because answers are always nice and clear even though the questions are a bit vague.
willing to lend a hand if its wanted...
don't claim to know it all but have enjoyed my time here at xda. if i can help keep things squeaky clean let me know.
I can throw in my two cents on subjects I know about. I spend atleast a half hour on here everyday or more.
I don't mind helping if it will keep people from bashing noobs.
I would love to help. I consider myself an experienced user, started developing a bit but I've had work to keep up with so I can't give to the community with developing anything.
I really want to give back to the community, so I hope my knowledge can be of good use.
***UPDATE (8/25/11): This donation thread/link is now to help get the device for DJRBliss. If he is able to achieve root, he plans on keeping the device, so no funds will be returned. However, he has agreed to resell, and return money based on the percentage of the original donation- IF someone else achieves root in an unrelated effort.
Please donate with the expectation to NOT get any money back, and get ROOT instead! Again, nothing can be promised!
www.KrazyKrivda.com - Donate link and our root attempts.***
I am starting to consider taking a few extra risks and try to get this phone rooted, but since I need a reliable device for work Im considering an extra phone to work on.
I may pu up a link and ask for a "temporary donation." I would use the money to purchase a new phone to work with. Once the phone is rooted, whether by me or someone else, I will resell the device on ebay, or through the community and return money to those who originally donated.
I will only be able to return money based on percentage. Ex. If you donate 100 for a 500 device (20%), and I resell device for only 300, you will only get 60 back. *I do not ask that anyone give 100, just as a for example.*
I think it best to do it this way because I cannot promise that your donation or contribution will lead to me rooting the D3.
Feedback welcome.
-KrazyKrivda
A sidenote - #KrazyK irc is now registered, and I advise anyone with knowhow, decent ideas, and the ability to assist the droid 3 root cause to join and discuss. Please, do not join merely for updates, general gossip and such, as they will still be posted in the threads here. I would like to keep the discussion as on topic and on task as possible to expedite the possibility of root.

I would be willing to throw some money in on this. I've also seen several people on droidforums that would probably donate also. A lot of people want root really really bad (me included).
How and where to donate?

I will wait a few days to see if it is worth asking for donations. I'm more than willing to throw some of my own $$ in. Hopefully we get root in a few days and this is unnecessary.
If not, and we have positive response for this, I will post a link midweek.
**NOTE: I still am in NO way guaranteeing I can root this device. Just hoping to improve the chances.
According to your post history, you seem to know your stuff, and I'd be glad to throw a couple bills your way, but have you contributed to the rooting of any other devices? Please forgive my ignorance on the matter.

I have rooted other devices however I am in no way responsible for the method of rooting them. In terms of contribution to the android community thus far I have worked on and created a few themes, as well as some small modifications to the cm source code when I was using my original droid.
I openly admit I am not as skilled as many other developers out there however I am probably 1 of the most persistent 1s and tend not be able to drop something until what I want is accomplished. Feel free to ask anyone in the irc/forums.. I know I tend to get annoying ;-).

Well krazykrivda I commend you and sincerely hope you get this phone rooted. And im sure some other devs could help if you ask enough. Lol I hope you get this donate link up. Every one is willing to support you it doesn't matter if you succeed or not as long as you have the same want we do.
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App
Well, I can contribute $200, because root for this device is very important to me. If the value of the phone goes beyond where it is right now due to the phone being rooted, you could totally keep the difference. However, if it gets bricked, well... it gets bricked. I understand that that's a possibility.
Out of curiosity... have you ever bricked a phone before?

Ha, no I have not, but I've always had recovery or an sbf in worst case scenarios.
To truly brick a phone is quite difficult, and once an sbf, root, or other means are out... chances are most "bricked" devices would be fully recoverable.
And assuming I do get a test phone.. I will keep it in box as long as possible, taking chances on current device. This way I may be able to return/or sell NIB decreasing chances of losing value.
This is not for me to make $$ off of... now if I do achieve root I doubt I would turn down monetary thank yous? ;-) *wishful thinking*

I can vouch for Krazy, not that it means much coming from me. But he knows what hes talking about and is the only guy ive seen actually actively trying to root this for everybody. Ive also used many of his themes on my droid . Good stuff.
rent is paid for this month so count me in with at least a $100.00 may be $200.00 if needed
I have an dev Atrix, and I can tell you a dev Droid 3 is most likely not going to help. What will work on the dev phone won't work on a retail phone. It mostly comes down to the boot process, and the signatures used to control things.
I can't say it is useless, but it will only really be useful in someone with deep knowledge of the ARM architecture, and who can disassemble code. Even then they would have to get pretty lucky.
Overall, only expect it to help after you have phone the right person, or group of people who can really dig deep, and are willing to put the time into it.
Edgan:
I am not looking into getting an actual unlocked dev phone, but a phone for me to test/develop on.
I do agree that the more that work on this, and the deeper we dig the greater are chances. I have heard good things about you and hope you can assist.
If I find someone that I feel will have better luck than me, and equal motivation.. AND willingness to the same terms I set fourth (temporary donation, and returning funds once root is achieved based on phones resale) I'd be delighted to pass this potential extra D3 into their hands (assuming the donators agree as well).
ALL:
This is a 0 profit venture for me, and a way I figure can reduce chance of bad investment for all those who DO donate. As soon as the D3 is rooted, it's resale will begin.
To reiterate, I am NOT the most skilled skilled, and I am not trying to trick anyone into give me ther money. I merely have the time, motivation, and dedication that will hopefully lead to this devices root status.

Too bad this isn't the X2 we are talking about. I am currently setting up my spare X2 as a gaming \ entertainment device for the household (meaning 2 year old and 1 year old). Seems like a waste of a "new" phone.
If I get a spare D3 than I would be more than happy to donate.
PS....didn't P3Droid get a D3?

I would be willing to send my D3 to a developer for vivisection IF (!!!) I was guaranteed that he/she could make the potential brick look good for Asurion.
PM me if you want to make preliminary arrangements.
www.KrazyKrivda.com
I would have already wepayed you, but you never responded to my PM.
I just sent $400 with WePay to get KrazyKrivda a D3. I found one on eBay for 379.99. The goal on the WePay site is $500.
$100 to go people! Come on, let's make it happen
It seems as though What I was trying to do was considered Kanging. The funny thing is that I wasn't trying to do that. My intentions was merely to get my feet wet in development. But I understand now. Also, I want to make something perfectly clear; My intentions was never to steal. Until today, I never knew what Kanging was or even knew it existed. I just wanted to explore the possibilities of having more Devs on site. Anyway, thanks to the few that responded. Peace.
Seems like an interesting idea, I have too much on my plate ATM (grad school, 3 kids, wife, full time job, and trying to learn linux in my "spare" time), but one suggestion is go to the thread here to try and get a good working understanding of the way to do it.
Lastly, no to the dev forum as this isn't development (dont mean to sound like a sarcastic ass).
If you do get it set up, you could do it through a G+ hangout.
(I edited this because I dont know if the contact I suggested would appreciate me doing so as I don't actually know him and am just working off of an impression).

Understood. And thanks for the reply and feedback bud.
And the link you used is no good. Got another there?
So I joined xda today for a few reasons. One being that I would love to be able to do a fraction of what some of these people on here do. I just got cm9 and saw that they put the source out too, but i havent a clue as to what to do with it. Google+ hangout sounds like a good idea.

Sounds good. Now we need someone to give us direction. If we can recruit an individual with some working knowledge of the material we will be set. In the meantime, If you want to get started learning the foundations be my guest. I'll get started as well. I'll PM you for e-mail addresses. If you can respond to this it will help to keep this thread alive. It will promote traffic.. Thanks bud.
[Announcement] We are currently looking fir an individual out there who knows the basics or foundations of building a custom ROM from CM9 or earlier. We would like to ask for your assistance in giving us a general direction. TYVM.
Hey man. It seems as though this has reached a turning point way before it had a chance to begin. Hahaha. But listen man, if you still want to talk about this project for future purposes, I will be more than happy to do so. Just pm me or e-mail me bud. Thanks again and sorry about all this.
Hey guys, I just wanna do a quick survey, how many ppl would help, to get knzo a new/used P970, so he can join back to our section. Since this seems to be the only Problem, that keeps him from joining back...
So I wanna get a quick resonance, of how many people here would join me.
I WANNA HAVE HIM BACK BADLY!
You know he already did great things for us, so lets reward this to him and help financing this phone.
Let's see how many ppl we can get together here, and then we can talk about, how much everyone is willing to pay.
I only want you to reply, if your sure about willing to pay.
I am thinking about a max amount of 5€/person, since I think this is an amout, that everyone can effort.
And you all want a great ROM, I am quite sure
And we got a lot of members around here and most only take the files and use them, like me as well. But somewhen comes the time for payback
So gimme a quick feedback, if you are willing to join me.
Hope we get enough ppl together.
He is already exist p970?

I am willing, but need knzo's update if he's willing to support us, and for how long (let's say untill we have stable ICS... ).
I've donated once Samsung Galaxy i5700 developer, he got the phone, but never finished the job he was meant to do (done lot of other great stuff, but no 3d driver).
+1. knzo would be the biggest addition back to the P970.
i am willing to contribute, but am a student without any account or card.
all i can have is cash from mah parents
but i can afford 10 euro if it is possible to get bank transfer going. i'll do it frm mah dads a/c.
i think we should get a bounty going???....& this topic should be stickied to the Q&A sub forum.
I already wrote, I wouldnt want anyone to pay more than 5 euros. But I was writing with him a bit and he doesnt know, if he really wants/is able to come back, for some personal reasons.
I guess everyone would understand this as well, since we all/or most at least should have a private life as well. So lets see, how it turns out and if he wants to come back, I'll revive this thread and we'll let the money flow to him
knzo would be the biggest addition back to the P970.
Please come back
Greetings
Anyone donated something? And what's with knzzo do he know this?
Sent from my LG-P970 using XDA App
I think he doesnt know until now, but better wait with donations, since he isnt sure, if he really wants to come back
I haven't received my N7 yet, but I wanted to say thanks to the great developers. With your encouragement, tools and videos (plus some research on the subject), I now have the knowledge and confidence to be able to unlock and root my device when it finally gets here. I also know that if I screw it up I can get it back.
Thanks folks...
