Hi! A friend of mine offers his nexus one + money for my OB, and, seriously, I dont know what to do, 'cause hardware in OB is way superior but there are so many cool roms for nexus one...
What is your opinion?
Thanks in advance :highfive:
the nexus. it's a google phone thus it has exclusive updates (see jb) and there is a bigger community developing for it.
But on the otherhand try to find out why he is opting for the OB
And if you play games, keep it unless the nexus becomes faster using custom roms
Anyways you see

I think the looks of the OB are awesome, so is the screen. The nexus one only is better for the software development...dunno, its hard to decide. The point is that I dont play games, so the gpu is not a deciding factor, but the smoothness of the ui and the different android versions, sense ui...

Keep your ob
Skickat från min LG-P970 via Tapatalk 2
Yup...waut for others to reply
If you dont care about software tweaking...go ob
And by tweaking, flashing nearly everyday, the phone is not used for its purpose
We do that for performance and theme mostly...id say stick to ob
Use it as it should have been.
.email, calender, facebook etc
Tweaks will come sooner or later

Thanks 4 your opinion! Well, I think I'm finally stickin' with the OB, lets trust in the great developers we have in xda!
nexus One = small screen, Pentile, bad camera, etc
nexus= lots of custom roms
Even with the advantage of a bigger comunity, I think that the Nexus One is a little too old.
Is this possible? Not stock based ROM with some themes and tweaks but a full out port of a tab2 7".

sure, if youre willing to work at it. but chances are it wont run perfectly. why would you want to downgrade your nexus 7 anyways?
Is there something about the Tab's version of Android that makes you want it over Google's? If it is something specific to the Tab from Samsung and not just an app the likelihood is it won't run right on the Nexus.
I had the chance to get a tab and I wanna see what the tab was like.

Might try a touchwiz rom, I think that the tabs are over rated.

Touchwiz rom here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2038920&highlight=touchwiz
I know of the ROM with the launcher but it doesn't have all the features the tab has to offer. (Not trying to say the tab is better than the nexus because the nexus 7 is amazing)
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
Part of what makes the N7 so much better than the Tab is that it has much better hardware and specs. Running the Tab's version of Android on the N7 (assuming you could) wouldn't tell you much about the Tab in terms of performance. It would be a useless comparison in that regard.
The only thing I would want to see from the tab 2 7inch is the tab ui launcher from its ics Rom, I always see the other launcher from jb ported but never the one that has tab ui

I see threads like this in the forums of every device I've owned (and that's a few).
People want HTC sense on their Samsung's, Touchwiz on their HTC, or some other combination.
The only device I've ever seen it pulled off successfully was HTC sense on the nexus one and only because the HTC desire had identical internal hardware.
It's just way too much work as overlays like Sense, Touchwiz, and Motoblur are closed source. It's possible to reverse engineer them and get them working on different hardware but it's a huge amount of labour and the results would be poorly optimized and not very much fun to use if someone even did manage it.
Some people with tabs go to great effort to run pure Google on them and you have that out of the box so be grateful for what you have. The grass is always greener on the other side.

Do not create new threads with port requests!!!
Instead of creating a new thread in the forum with a new request for every device under the sun, post your ideas here. This thread can be used to discuss the possibility, viability or worthiness of a port, then to gather general interest or recruit developers into a project.
All other threads of this type should be reported for deletion to keep the clutter to a minimum.
I own two phones: the Motorola DROID 3 and the HTC DROID DNA. And both are phones I think deserve Ubuntu OS. But my DROID 3 especially, I no longer use it, and have wanted an operating system other than Android on it for a long time. Firefox OS, Open webOS, and now Ubuntu. But out of all of thes , I want Ubuntu the most.
The problem is :
I don't know how to code.
Plain and simple, I have no idea how to do anything you guys do. And so I'm really hoping you can bring a new OS to my now sitting in a corner phone. Will anyone here take the time to develop for it?
Do they meet the system requirements? You might want to ask a rom developer in each of the phone's specific forums
The Droid 3 meets the minimum requirements for the entry level version, but not the high-end version that can dock with a monitor, keyboard, and mouse..

My wife has the GIO and it is more of a low-end device..
Anyway, I know there is a lot of people saying it could be ported.
Just so you don't get your hopes up too high. I will mention a few reasons why it most likely will not be ported:
1. It is a arm v6 CPU , Ubuntu ported their core to be arm v7 compatible as a minimum, so if someone manages to port it, to armv6 which involves a lot of code changes and recompiles then the support from 3rd party apps will be very limited to QML/Javascript and HTML5 apps only..
You won't get no apps that contain anything binary QML/C++ as they would need to be ported to the lower architecture as well.. Also all packages in the repository will need to be recompiled and supported from 3rd party's to be used. There is no official support at all..
All together , we are not talking about a port, it will be more of a fork of official to armv6 hf . the effort involved is similar to what raspian has done to Debian to support armhf v6.
2. Less resources on the device.
3. You need to find a developer that is insane enough to do point 1. If you do, then there is still point 2. That can be a problem.
Cheers

Yea that's what I hear all the time.. You may have a running cm10 on that device. Sure, but you are comparing native against dalvik VM and that shows you don't understand. You sound like devs are some magicians, we are not, we are human and there are technical limitations on the gio that makes a port useless waste of energy so i am not going to waste time on explaining anymore.
It won't work, just get a new device ...

I don't think you realize what kind of work porting these roms means. These are huge projects, and not every developer that works with aosp is capable to do that. These roms have different frameworks...to name one of the major difficulties (This is not the same what making a nice theme) Anyway, Sense project has already been started. It doesn't boot yet unfortunately. And as far as I remember Galaxy Nexus doesn't have fully working ports.

Possible yes, probably not. It's not just that Android versions have to be same, the hardware has to be similar too. Even then it would need months of work, experimenting, etc. Optimus g is almost the replica of the nexus 4 , even then porting LG ui is not complete. That's how hard it is.

Exactly and here we're talking about three different and sometimes by far more complex ports (not to mention different screen resolutions). Possible in theory? yes! I do like the idea very much. However probability to build a daily driver is rather very low. Every single project would take simply too long.
writing [request] in the thread title doesn't mean it's gonna happen
Yup i agree, its a long way to get these roms working! But its not impossible and we have a pretty awesome devs lineup and an awesome community as well

It seems slg1119 from the at&t optimus g thread managed to port htc sense 5.0 and make it boot but, besides touch everything else doesn't work. It's a start and maybe someone could port that for the nexus 4.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2353971
there are a lot of proprietary stuff in those roms. it's not gonna happen. use icon packs, 3rd party lockscreen apps etc.. to replicate a sense or touchwiz feel, but you'll never get those air gesture, smart stay and what else features.
i respect that some people like those OEM skins, but i know i would never flash a sense or touchwiz rom even if there were totally bug free ports available for my nexus. Since the galaxy nexus days, it's clean vanilla for me all the way.
A sense 5 port would be cool
if we can get s4 camera feature only is that possible or htc's
It would be cooler to be able to port the actual apps to the nexus. Like porting the framework to work on the nexus 4 ROMs. I personally do not need all that bloatware from Samsung/Sony or HTC.

Hello, this is just a question, I'm not bashing/hating here. I see many people running CM10.1, and the main article in the news on Android portals across the internet is the new update - CM10.1.1
I have a ROM based on CM10.1 on my Nexus S and honestly I see no much difference in comparison with the stock one I got on my N7. So, what is in your opinion, the best reason to get CM10.1.1?

The lack of options compared to AOKP keeps me away. Tablet mode and Nav/status bar transparencies are essential on the N7.
CM is more of a stockish feel with the latest security fixes and a few limited additional options and theme support.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
I agree with the above. CM just does not offer enough options compared to aokp to sway me over. At the same time, high memory and high graphic games always work better for me on stock. Ergo, im a multirom junkie. Best of all worlds with a simple reboot.

Exactly. It's enhanced stock Android, but more importantly it's enhanced stock Android with the support, wide compatibility, and "whole-ness" of stock. I've convinced many a friend running TouchWiz, Sense, and even stock Android to switch to CM or a CM-based ROM.

Being that it's a smaller tablet, I don't agree that tablet mode is totally necessary. Is it nice to have? Definitely. I also wouldn't call transparencies "essential" in any sense.

The lack of either isn't a device killer, but those are 2 really nice features that I require. After running both, you wonder why they aren't stock in the first place. And I'd say that BECAUSE of the smaller tablet (7") it is EVEN MORE important to save desktop space.
Of course you could also use Extended Desktop w/ PIE controls, but the only PIE I like is Blackberry Cobbler.
Then there are people like me, I dont care CM or AOKP & what not...
Just need: speed + 110% smoothness without a stutter on all non gaming tasks + amazing batt life + USB Audio DAC support...
Also, still waiting for bit-perfect and hardware direct mode for USB Audio / DAC from kernel and music playback app developers... which probably will never come. Something like ASIO/WASAPI? Ring a bell? Guess not...
Audiophile 'minority'...meh.
Yep, people like me.

In all fairness (and much to my surprise), the Nexus 7 is the most challenging device to find organized, consolidated and relevant info for. Those of us whom count this as our first Nexus device have always been preached upon the virtue of stock/AOSP/CM vs (insert OEM UI) as though the three are synonymous, with CM being the vehicle that brings stock to, again, (insert OEM UI) devices. Even the Sprint-variant galaxy sII threads contain more up-to-date FAQ/tutorial stickies.
Maybe do a better job of consolidating "out there" before being "that" guy who has nothing to contribute beyond a condescending one-liner?
To the OP, the official CM website does an ok job at explaining their 'official' releases, but not a whole lot about how the experience differs from 'official' Vanilla/Nexus/Play Edition releases.
Also, Linaro --who works with literally every company not named Nvidia on source development-- seems to be a BFD to tegra3...

If the OP is asking for your opinion, then it's a possibility he/she values what you have to say, rather than blogs that have been written by others.

Perhaps the question has been asked too many times, but whatevs....no electrons or photons were harmed in the making of this thread. Frankly, you're either part of the solution or part of the problem, my vote says this thread is mostly part of the solution. I'm just in the process of deciding what I will do on my N7 after I unlock the bootloader and root it, now I have to search/understand the process of dual booting so I can try AOKP while enjoying stock, which I very much do (glad I waited for a 32). It also reinforced my desire to put CM back on my GSII.

Spoonfeeding huh? As somebody said already, this forum is a place to go ask questions and to help get a better understanding of what your tablet/phone is capable of.
To my knowledge there is nothing wrong w/ that as I have been doing this since '06 and continue to learn something new every time I read these forums. Cm 10.1 is a great rom w stock options, with the flexibility of giving you some customization. Surely give it a whirl
