The Lavender crowdfund

Hello and thank you for reading. I want to personally thank you to all our community members for voting on the poll for a new device to support on the new Android release. And well... I've heard your calls! Lavender will be the new shishufied boy in the bootleg town.

And for those who are asking why is all of this: I recently got some issues with my device, Moto E 2015 (LTE Variant), which is the only Android phone I got and the one I used to test bootleggers, to do ShishuWalls and a bunch of stuff, but now, after 3 years of use it's starting to fail. Between the battery that's starting to fail and shutting down earlier (even on stock) to my SIM slot not working at all (a common failure on that device).

This situation made my Android 10 plans a bit harder as I can't consider it for a daily driver experience, not even testing if my device tree is stable enough to publish it and well, build building will be a big mistake (and also, something I completely despise). So I was thinking what would be the best output for this, and something like this new device will be nice to work, from the device tree side to make it stable and test new stuff, to continue working on Bootleggers and see how nice the new AOSP release can get.

I live in Argentina, a country with some weird tax and economical issues or it isn't compatible with conventional crowdfunding sites like GoFundMe (at least at the time to withdraw the cash) so, for rely on a safer method to get the new phone without any risk, I'll use PayPal to accept any amount you want to donate. It'll be massively appreciated. The goal is 200 USD (including extra fees due to inflation and as Xiaomi is a thing here, but they sell phones like Redmi 5 (not Note 5) at the Price that you can get a Redmi Note 7 from a second-hand retailer).

UPDATE: We've reached our goal!

This post will be updated constantly to be transparent to you, and, in advance, I want to thank you for supporting me, and Bootleggers.
