[BOUNTY] opportunity?

---

I'm wondering if our community would be willing and trustworthy enough to put forth a committee that would accept and seek donations for further development for phone and the Android community as a whole.

A couple things off the top of my head:

- stable 4.0 ROM
- modded mount points for mnt/sdcard and mnt/external_sdcard
- modded shortcuts for off screen buttons (volume + = skip song, power = take photo in camera mode)


The committee would take the communities advice and put forth bounties for certain Dev work/features. This would not only speed our phones development but if executed correctly could help our community grow. It would have to be decided if we would stay or commit to xda exclusively, work among many threads, or a combination of the two and produce our own website. Obviously this would mainly be about budgeting and being responsible.

Feel free to improvise on this idea.
Feel free to PM me if you can be of help - such as development skills, internet programming, spare phone etc.,

what you are explaining is a development team. they exist. but will include the features they want or ask for suggestions if they choose to do so.

learn how to develop. (tons of guides on xda, use search). talk to other developers, get to be friends with them, and work together on something... and bam!, you got what you wanted.

No, you didn't grasp what I meant. The point of this group would to be seek as
Many donations from the community together, to bring Dev groups together, or to make one universal group.

I think the main problem with this phone is the lack of support from Samsung. Miss having a LG now...

On a side note I have been working on developing. Just not sure to continue with java for my apps or get into cooking roms.

Well, we have already donated two phones to devs and I don't think I would be willing at this point to donate anymore. Especially since, as mentioned, several people are already joining forces to start learning to develop. I really don't think donations are necessary as most devs donate their time to begin with.

Samsung support seems better than Motorola. At least we have an open bootloader!

I agree. We have a few devs now and some pretty great working roms. Dont really need people begging for donations....

But some ics would be nice this phone is basically a nexus s just the form factor is different
