I hope that some of you are familiar with PhantomHacker and his contributions to the Android Development community. He has proven to be one of the most recognized ROM developers. Personally, I wait for confirmation that he'll be developing for a particular device before I even consider purchasing it. Ever since my Galaxy Tab 10.1 days (StarBurst ROM), I have declared my allegiance to his ROMs. This has carried over to the Samsung Galaxy SII and now the Samsung Galaxy SIII (Blazer ROMs). I could only imagine the types of things he would bring to the Nexus 7.
I inquired about him developing for the Nexus 7 and he said he would love the opportunity but doesn't have the funds to acquire one for himself. I told him I'd start this thread to appropriate enough funds so that we can get him one. Considering the fact that these devices cost so little, I figured, with your help, we could get there soon. I'd like to acquire enough funds to get him the 16GB version, but we'll settle with the 8GB if need be.
If you'd like more information about his work, check out these threads:

I don't know this developer or his work, but I'm into this sort of crowd-funded enterprise within the Android community in a major way.
And I like how often I've seen it happen here on XDA.
Thank you so much for your support!

Anyone... Bueller?
Shame this popped up after the initial influx died down a bit.
Wow guys! C'mon! Let's get some premier development for our device going. I know that there are some superb development going on right now, but PH really would add a lot of neat tricks to our N7.
Kind of sad that the N7 community isn't as giving as the phone communities seem to be. =/
I like the community and I like it when I see people happy with custom roms. I don't use them but I like reading about them. I sent a donation but didn't get a transaction number but I did get a confirmation number, is that what you needed?

Well-established devices that are attractive to developers on their own (e.g. any Nexus device) don't need device donations to facilitate development. Especially devices that are dirt cheap to begin with.
Also, the skillset required for a Nexus device is VERY different from that required for a device that does not have AOSP support. Experience with smali-hacking and deodexing is of no benefit on a Nexus. Even well-established smali-hackers don't necessarily fare well on Nexus devices - see Designgears as an example.
Also, really, he doesn't have enough money for a $200 Nexus 7? He's paying for devices and service on at least two different carriers, and paid full unsubsidized price for at least one of those devices - If his work were indeed that good, he would have made enough money from previous donations to pay for the N7.
Donating a device upfront to a developer RARELY works out. Look at the Infuse community - There were at least three devices donated to developers in the early days of that device who received devices and did either nothing or almost nothing with them. The only device donations that actually resulted in any significant benefit were donations of used devices when owners upgraded.
I wish i could help i am very low on money, but you have my word i will throw so cash when i have it. The more devs we have the better

@leelaa: Thank you for vouching. We appreciate any help we can get.
@Entropy512: I respect your opinions but I ask you to please refrain from posting in this thread if you're not willing to colaborate or support the movement. I can assure you that PH can handle the Nexus 7. I created this thread because I mentioned in the SG3 thread about development for this device and he said that he would love to develop for it but was lacking the funds.
I'm completely new to android development. And I'm really loving Note 3 as a phone.
I'm very interested in pouring time into studying and developing things for Note 3. Would really appreciate some references/headsup on where to start. To tell you the truth the one I'm very interested in is S view. Seeing as xposed module s view mod development has been dropped, I'm interested in doing my own with my own personal twist. I just feel that it is a very nice feature that hasn't been utilized to the fullest.

As the title suggests I am interested in creating an app for Galaxy Watch 3. My fiance and I bought these watches so we could monitor her blood sugar thru the Dexcom G6. When we used the only available method (nightscout and wearable widgets apps) it does not seem to want to properly work. Now I am new to coding. In fact I am in the beginning stages of game development using C# and Unity. From my understanding Tizen uses C++, or something of the sort. I am basically reaching to out to ask anyone for help, as I believe her, and countless others, could benefit greatly from such a product. All I need is a helping hand, and a finger pointing in the right direction. If anyone could help me out, I would greatly appreciate it.

Unity 2017.2 was the last version of Unity that supported Tizen. You might be still be able to use an old version of Unity to compile your own .tpk and sideload it to the watch, but chances are it will be too old to publish to any store as the policies/requirements are updated frequently.
You might be able to create a Tizen project in Unity, then transfer it to Tizen Studio to update it to the latest version to meet the requirements for publication (or fix any bugs.)
Average Android hacker/enthusiast. Well.. maybe not exactly an "experienced" hacker, but I want to try my hand at custom roms/app development.
Signed up for a membership after seeing all the cool things people were trying to do to their devices! If I figure out or develop something significant I will surely share it here first.
Currently rocking a X606-f, Ticwatch Pro 3, Moto z4 (with modified battery); and I'm looking to upgrade my phone (because I need something with solid bluetooth connectivity).
Hope I can be a helping hand to this awesome community!
A very warm welcome to the XDA family, @beallmuddy! Good to have you on board
Hi, I’m Dreagen. I’m a multidimensional artist who’s Idol is Elon Musk. Fascinated, by software & tech, I enjoy studing multimedia and electronic enterprising which brings me to to this world of ‘’software development.’’ Android is my favorite platform and I’m working on several apps. My hat would be gray if I knew programming better; however I’m no hacker… I’m excited and look forward to engaging with all you real programmers with hopes this experience lucrative.
Great to see new faces here, I'm not a developer, just a random guy who likes to mess up with devices, you'll see quite a lot going on here, I've seen impressive jobs done, hope you have a great time to enjoy here! Cheers!
