Hi,

i talked to PaulForde from Team ICSSGS if they could port ICS to the SGS+.
He said that he will try, but they need a working SGS+ to test it on.
So we do need Donators.

Here's my plan. I opened a Paypalaccount where u can donate to, so i
collect it. If it is enough for a SGS+ i will forward it to PaulForde.
Yeah i know u have to trust me, or you just donate to Paulforde himself.

Here is his Profile: http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=2897740
If u donate to him put SGS+ Donation in the description.

The advantage if you donate to me is, that if we doesn't reach to goal of about 200 euros i just send your money back. But you can choose.

Some examples:
100 Donators a 2€
40 Donators a 5€
20 Donators a 10€

So i'd like to hear or see something from you.
The first 5€s are in the pot! :)

Not sure if that is the way to go. Even if he has a SGS+ it doesn't mean he's going to port ICS for us. He would just try and most probably fail because he doesn't put much effort into porting.

We couldn't even blame him for that.

Lets support those developer who showed that they are doing it for the community or for fun - (im repeating myself yeyee) but I can't stop hyping Skywalker08's and Yarde's work. They havent even asked for donations nor did they add a donate function. Its just honourable what they do.

We can't just put some money into something and hope that we get ICS for that. Support those who are already working on similiar and who are capable of porting ICS and MAYBE (!) we will get ICS someday.

I don't know much about this dev team it seems that they have worked only on the i9000
I rather donate to some big dev maybe Doomlord as he has more experience with snapdragon chipsets.

Or donate to Skywalker to continue his work

Yes, i'd rather donate 5 Euro to Skywalker08 and Yarde who already have the i9001 (correct me if i'm wrong) and already showed some progress and interest in building an AOSP ROM for our device. Maybe we should initiate a movement on donating to one of them (or both) to motivate them more on working ? I think someone should just ask them if they want this.

I am willing to donate, but I don't wanna see my and everyone else's money going to wain...We need more than "I will try" I think

blubberheld · 23rd March 2012, 11:34 PM

in fact we have to do something. i don't care to who we donate, but i think it's a good start to support devs to port to our device. i really can't see gingerbread anymore ^^

Yeah but the point is: even if they can create something bootable, they will stop probably the work. They won't work out everything perfectly, just becasue there are so few people using / donating whatever. It takes too much time.

SGS+ community is not big enough to attract developers who want to make money (CM for example).

And we can't really do anything :P

You put so much effort into it... would be a shame if not :P

Well, CM yes, but CM7 and that's gingerbread based. But that will take at least several weeks.

And if we (ie. YardE and anybody else who is able and willing to contribute plus me) will really achieve our ambitious goal some day, then and only then the time has come to think about ICS/CM9
