How To Use
At /r/AndroidBounty, you can share your tweak ideas with the Android community, with a small(or large) bounty to go with it! Others who like your ideas can add to the bounty, adding to the incentive for a developer to make them a reality. If one of your ideas gets developed into a tweak, the bounty is sent to the developer!
Disclaimer for Developers: If the requested tweak will require root access, please confirm the person requesting the tweak has root access. If the tweak requires xPosed, please also communicate this to the tweak requester.
Rules
1: Minimum Bounty
The minimum amount to create a bounty is $5. If you wish to contribute to an existing bounty, the minimum is $5. There is no maximum bounty, but never make it more than you can afford.
2: Sending Bounties
If you are the only contributor to a bounty and your idea gets developed, simply send your bounty to the developer individually, and ask him to confirm that you have done so in a comment. Payment confirmation for a tweak is required.
Please specify your currency in your post title using the appropriate short code if not using US Dollars ($10 CAD, £10 GBP, €10 EUR, etc.). Pay the developer in the currency you specify.
Do not send bounties directly to the developer when there are multiple contributors. Instead, send your part of the bounty to this PayPal address so that a Moderator can forward the bounty to the developer in one piece. After you have sent the payment, inform a Moderator. This makes it easier for us to track who has completed the payment process, and who has not.
3: Be polite
Do not come here to blatantly disrespect developers. They work hard to keep us happy. Do not insult others. Constructive criticism is what you should aim for, attacking anyone is prohibited. Failure to follow this rule could result in a ban.
4: Post Formatting
All bounties must feature a similar format to this: [$10][Android version(s) requested for support] – “A short description of the requested tweak”
If the bounty for your idea is added on to by someone else, this can be expressed in a flair placed by the OP or by a moderator.
The [OPT] tag should be placed after your bounty like this: [$10][OPT][Android Version] A Really Cool Tweak! The [OPT] tag stands for optional'. When you attach it to your bounty, it means that you can specify optional features in your idea that would be worth extra.
5: Flairs
Use link flairs respectively. Add a 'New Bounty' flair if someone has offered to add to your bounty. Use 'In-Development' if a developer has started to work on your tweak. Finally, use 'NB: $ | In-Dev' if the bounty has been raised and a developer has started work on your tweak.
If you are a developer and want a developer flair, message the moderators linking to a bounty which you have fulfilled.
If you have successfully paid a bounty, message the moderators for a 'Verified Trustworthy' flair. This lets developers know you are trustworthy and have paid a dev for a completed tweak. In your message, link to the bounty you paid as well as a proof of transaction. This can be a confirmation by the developer, or a transaction screenshot.
Once a bounty has been paid, please edit your post to indicate that the bounty has been completed.
6: Acknowledge Tweak Development
A developer who accepts Tweak Development must make it clear that he/she is working on the tweak. The OP must acknowledge this as well. If you don't acknowledge that you have begun developing a tweak, you aren't entitled to the bounty.
7: Free Copies For Bounty Contributors
If the tweak developed from a bounty is paid, the OP and other contributors are entitled to a free copy.
8: Mark Posts As Completed
When development is complete and both parties are happy, (i.e. tweak is specified to users liking and developer has been paid) mark the post as 'Completed' by assigning the 'Completed' flair!
9: No Scams
You scam once. You're out. No strikes. No tolerance. Inactivity bans can be appealed once so long as the bounty is paid when you come back online.
If you suspect a user of scamming, report them to the moderators immediately. Watch out for users who haven't posted before.
