Operation Jetstream to a developer

[guru_shastri]

Hi
so, we've got a proven developer, show-p1984, willing to help us get this device to the modern age.
all we need now is to get him a device.
our guy lives in Germany, so if there's a European user wanting to Part with his device - Let us know please!
if there isn't: we need to put the money together and get him a device.

the cheapest ebay device i've seen is 249$. to which we'll have to add 20% tax in Germany. this will get us to about 300$.
it seems to have free shipping.

all of us willing to put the money upfront - this is the current division between us:

i opened a Paypal account for this purpose. i will share the account Password with another forum member, for control purposes.
the shortest way to go is using the "Donate to me button" of my user. this will take you to donate to a user called "xda.jetstream".
the faster we all get the money in, the faster we'll get jb..
thanks.

You can get a brand new jetsream at all4cellular with the coupon code "A4C20" for $200!

this is what you call "too little too late"
the operation is finished and the device is on his way to our guy. usps are taking their sweet time on it..

I am sorry I missed this operation, but to provide an added incentive to the dev, I will be offering a $100 tip as soon a ROM the community is happy with is ready.

 

[typhoonikan]

I will gladly pledge $ upon evidence of development.
I hope this isn't another project that gets dropped.

 

[guru_shastri]

if everything goes as planned - we should be ok.
the device is still on its way to show_p1984. its super annoying, but DHL are the problem now...
show_p1984 gave me his word that in case he should fail, or something like that he will send the device to another developer, of our choice. all we got is his word, but i trust him and keeping in touch with him.

 

[guru_shastri]

Update:
the device made it to our guy last week, after about 3 weeks of shipment.
unfortunately he got damaged during the shipment, and we're trying to get at least a partial refund. the damage is cosmetic and won't disturb with the developing, probably.

show_p1984 had some time to play with the device and decided that the most important thing required is JB. not the storage bug, not a proper 3.1 rom..he's going straight for JB ROM. this could take a while, i'll update here when something will happen.

thanks again to all the donators.

1 person can apparently do this.
But HTC won't pay their development team to update the ROM.
WTH.

That's awesome news!

Do you know if s-off will be required for the jb Rom?

no idea yet.
also, jmztaylor got to pretty much the same point (working separately) trying to boot cm10.
so, we got two guys on our side

Glad to see that things are moving quickly.

Once we have a method for getting JB on to the Jetstream, will the developer produce a comprehensive how-to guide for all of us who have no experience with roms, rooting, etc.?

 

[guru_shastri]

probably. if not them, the reset of the forum.
i have a feeling once proper ROM will available, more users will get here.

showp said that you would at least need the HTC unlock 's-off wanna be' he called it. i think he's referring to the bootloader. best way to find out is to wait and see..

Showp just tweeted me:

I have a Jetstream and already got JB booting. gfx support is nearly done, some other small stuff is missing but it's getting there

and:

4.2.1, working: display, touchscreen, gfx partially. Not working: Nearly everything else.

also:

I am working on my rom, the base was pure aosp, but I am thinking of moving over to cm.

Anfd lastly:

Well I won't dev on sense (zip hacking... brrr...), but my kernel should do that too (except wifi/bt/usb as usual)

As I see it -> we should get a (great) sense dev onboard.
Because as far as I know, the stylus is involved with sense!

Now I must give props to Showp (aka, Dennis) He is REALY doing GREAT work here!
Thanks for everythign Dennis, and when you release your work, a donation will be coming your way!

The stylus support possible without sense assuming that the stylus component is the same as that of flyer. They have got it working on aosp roms as well...

That is very great news indeed!
We still need to get a great developer on board, because as good as ShowP is with kernels, he is not a very good rom dev, I mean yes he can, but it will take a LOT of time for him, which I think is unnecessary.

 

[guru_shastri]

chaos-z from the flyer forum once suggested helping..and i think some of the others here could probably port roms since its far easier than kernel development.
and finally, jmztaylor is also working on a rom for the jetstream. so i'm guessing we'll have two roms coming out about the same time.
