Genesis Chess Beta is a great way to play normal chess but also our very own Genesis Chess variant! I’ll also make this deal right now. If we win one of these contests we’ll hold a chess tournament with our app where the winner will receive one of our phones/tablets that we used to develop the app on!
Even if we don’t win, check out the app!
Not one device but two will be given away if we win. One will be given away at random, and one will be given to the winner of the tournament. With the latter choosing the device from what we have.

You should disqualify anyone who random spams the down vote button on other entries.
Or just not count down entry votes?
What about upvotes? Can they check those? One guy had like 50 after 6ish hours. with no downvotes. It was also the middle of the night when he got those upvotes.
In reality they said they’d take the upvotes in consideration, but it didn’t mean the person with the most upvotes wins. I imagine they might have a way to track if someone kept upvoting themself as well since the entry rules say those people would be disqualified
I hope so, since that looks really fishy…
This guy has asked more than 250 of these friends (and mine) to upvote him, so 50 votes is not so big compared to the demand he has done.
And for the “middle of the night”, just look what country he comes: We are French, so it was not the night for us, but the day. Uh.
I think you should try to do the best for yourself rather than wasting your energy on blaming others …
I was just saying it was weird that the guy had EXACTLY 50 after like 5 or 6 hours. if it was like 47 or 49 it wouldn’t have looked AS suspicious.
It’s just a coincidence.
There is *inevitably* a time when there are 50 votes…
I make ROMs/Kernels/Mods! Not sure if that is still eligible but… some of my work… anyway sorry for including this part, just wondering if I was eligible, but anyway, without further ado:

This is a new idea that has not been
done before. It uses openCV to determine
the relative displacement of the device to control the mouse pointer
on the screen.
Why only apps? I develop a ROM, my (our, since I work on a team) ROM was the first AOSP ICS ROM for the Samsung Galaxy S family of phones. That’s something, right?

Best developer I’ve ever contacted. He replied to my email within hours and had the content I requested to me as soon as he possibly could. He most definitely deserves this pack :]
Fast and great dev. Contacted him with icon requests an in like 12 hours he was finished. If every android dev was like him who knows what this world would be like. He should win this pack for sure.

I’d like to improve support for larger screens and wifi-only devices, and continue to add the latest features from 4.1.
I think that this should be open to more… “exotic” developers… with that meaning ROM and other “hackers”… We do a lot of work for the community and would love the opportunity to do our work with these devices.
i want to win pls

I wanted to develop a quality app when I was 17. I want to win because I want to succeed and prove to people that developing a app is easy! I also plan (with the devices) to build new ROMS with it!
Someone is downvoting everybody by one…. multiple people with 0 upvotes is getting a downvote…

Dear Phandroid community! I am BaldyPal! I’m developing 4 apps
concurrently. I have already uploaded 3 apps to the Play Store. They are simple,
fun, and 100% geared towards kids. You see, I have a 6 year old, 3 year old,
and wife who is an elementary teacher. I develop towards the audience I know
best. My wife informed me that the learning apps I thought were good for kids
have many flaws in phonetics, math, and counting. Which says to me, those
developers didn’t use their teacher resources. My friends, I need a new set of
devices, so that I no longer have to risk my business/personal devices, to develop
quality learning apps that follow the same core curriculums the teachers teach
in school! Please will you help me, help the kids, in a fun and exciting way!
