FYI - DerTeufel1980 had a solid kernel working fairly quickly and has since worked on the recovery mods to allow installing two ROMs, etc. He has been working through a few items such as USB only working for charging, etc. He is making progress though. :)
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
DerTeufel1980 has a dual-boot kernel working for the Samsung Galaxy line (Captivate, etc). With our help, he has been able to purchase a Note II to work on and I have been updating this thread with donation promises.
The post is below. You can look at his stats (a recognized developer with close to 13,000 thanks) and know that he can be trusted. Just to have him working on the Note II will be a great addition. I started the thread on the AT&T forum and then added it in the N7100/N7105 forum when I realized he lives in Germany. He and I have committed a fair amount of $ to make this happen so if you feel inclined to help out then it would be appreciated.

Update 5/25 - DerTeufel1980 has spent a while perfecting a universal kernel that works on AOSP and Sammy ROMs. The thread is here > http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2239453
He had to work out some bugs that prevented troubleshooting the dual-boot problem. However, he recently returned to the dual-boot problem and has solved it. He has been able to dual-boot with AOSP as primary, Sammy as secondary and vice-versa. He is still fixing some recovery issues, etc but is hopeful that the release will be available tomorrow. This turned out to be much more challenging than other phones but that is probably why nobody else has accomplished it until he had a device to work on... :p

Changed the OP to ask if anyone would be willing to risk donating $5.00 for the capability. Again, nobody would need to donate until we gather enough donation promises to allow purchasing a device.

Re: Would you risk donating $5.00 for dual-boot capability?

I would be willing to spend $5. I would really like something Boot Manager. That was one of the best apps I had the Evo 4G. Let you have a nice stable daily. But you could try out mutliple ROMs which may or may not have been ready for to daily use.

That's the type of functionality we are shooting for. I will update totals tonight. Getting him a device is going to happen.

That's a lot of "THANKS." You clearly have been doing some productive work.
Before I agree to contribute anything let me ask this: will we be expected to go ahead and purchase this app in the PLAY STORE after having already donated to the cause?

He will be developing a dual-boot kernel/recovery. He already has it working for free on the Captivate and published the source code.

AW: Device obtained - Thanks, and let the coding begin...

Many thanks to all who already have donated.
I hope to get the device on Tuesday. PayPal is currently waiting for the transaction to finish.

Updated the OP with another donation and corrected that he doesn't have it yet. I "jumped the gun" base on some PMs :eek:

    AW: Device obtained on 3/7 - Dual-boot kernel work has begun

    Your post is missing the point, that I never wanted to have this device. Even if I had enough money, I would not have bought it, because of closed exynos sources.
    Now I got the device, and i try the best that I can, to make it work. If I don't get it, I'll sell the device and pay the money back, if the users want me to sell it

    The cdma devices are going to be delayed a little bit.
