Firstly, "HI!".
These Gingerbread ROMs aren't all SDK. Some of them are AOSP which means the source code for Gingerbread that is available. This isn't however a Nexus One flavour of the code which is what most people are waiting for (me included). Soime of the AOSP stuff doesn't fully work due to lack of drivers etc...
Still good for some people though.
No, we don't have enough whining threads. Let's make some more.

Well, if you want the official gingerbread, buy a Nexus S. Barring that, sit back and wait until it gets released for the N1. Pissing and moaning about it here will get you nothing. And wow...*****ing about a ROM that isn't fully optimized enough for you. Entitled much? I guess I must have missed the gingerbread ROM that YOU put out that was 100% optimized and running top speed. Those devs that have already put out ROMs deserve a freaking beer, not a whine-fest from you.

Google doesn't owe you any updates. You bought a working phone. Just because they do offer updates doesn't mean you are entitled to anything. If they never put out a gingerbread rom to the nexus one that's their right. They owe you nothing.

Yes, that is a bit disingenuous to say that, considering one of the major selling points of the Nexus One was that it was the flagship phone, and should expect to the first dibs on updates.
I have no resentment of the nexus S getting GB first, but seriously, they are dragging it on.

Most of us are rooted and running CyanogenMod7, and from the problems I read about from the people on unrooted phones, I wouldn't care if Google ever release a OTA, I'm happy with Cyanogen's builds, and I've never had issues with speed, except when I was on stock which was about three hours.

They owe "us" nothing. We bought a phone that was working, had an OS, and the only selling point of it was - it's a developer phone, easily rootable and customizable. Nobody ever said anything about updates, you didn't pay for them, and if you think you did - think again until you understand it completely. They happen? Thanks a lot. They don't? Oh well, such is life. They're delayed? Sit tight and wait.

It's true that they don't owe us anything, and it's their right if they decided that they are not going to update the nexus one. What I think people are complaining about is Google said about a month and a half ago that the OTA will be happening in the coming weeks. If they are going to take 2-3 months to push out the update then maybe 'coming weeks' probably wasn't the right choice of words, coming months is more appropriate.
I really don't like how Google handles all these updates, specifically how they chose to stay quiet about this issue. They said it'd be out in a few weeks, if it doesn't, why don't they give us some insight on what went wrong. A simple 'We found some bugs that would take a while to fix' and I'd be completely satisfied.

I paid a lot of money for my 2 computers too. But Dell and Microsoft don't "owe" me free updates either. Aside from that one time.........
Wait no, Google has never been too on target with their release dates.
There are still two major bugs that have to be fixed to my knowledge. The random reboot bug and the SD card vulnerability bug. Until these two bugs are fixed, 2.3 will not arrive on the N1.

Personally, I would not upgrade to anything that has yet been announced as the dual core phones already hitting the market are soon to be leapfrogged by the quad-core Tegra & Qualcomm chips late this year / early next year.
The N1 is still an awesome device and still gets plenty of Google love as evident by the OTA to Gingerbread (though many were claiming abandonment due to the delay).

The next Nexus Phone, so probably when Android Ice Cream Sandwich comes out. It should be a better improvement from the N1 to the next Nexus than it was going to the Nexus S.
Keep the N1 for now until a much better device arrives especially if your T-Mobile usa. Consider the Atrix if on At&t...

Its not a hacked Maps apk, but some changes to your system files that trick the system into thinking the N1 is a true multitouch device. You can either replace the files found in thread below or flash the zip in recovery depending on your comfort level.

The N1 has multitouch but doesn't do it well due to the crappy clearpad 2000 touch sensor used by HTC. The touch points will cross axis'. You will turn the map to the left and then it may turn right all of a sudden. Instead of enabling a half-assed map rotation, google disabled this feature on the N1. Personally, I have used this "hack" and had decent success YMMV.
If you do install this, remember to do it again after flashing different ROMS/Nightlies etc....

no that would require a repartitioning. you have the 16 gigs of the chip, formatted prolly comes to 13Gigs, then however much storage system and all the other partitions take up will still bring you down a bit.

That's actually my only complaint with the Nexus 7. There are like 30 ROM's and the differences are so subtle that I just ended up running Official AOKP and I just ignore the rest.

Well, my Nexus 7 has also violated my human rights a couple of times (specifically waterboarding), but I didn't think it was worth mentioning in this thread.
Can't wait till this gets ported to other GS4s on different carriers...
Cnet and SlashGear, among others, are saying this is the same version currently out for Tmobile. That's excellent news as the i9505, all its variants - and quite possibly the d2 (i9305) series - are going to get some serious love from Google as a result.
We already have CM radio working for us. The rest should be fairly common between us and Tmobile, meaning that we should see this over on our side in short order.
Guess I have a new project after all....

Hi,
I was really hoping the rumors would have been true and the Nexus 7 2 would have been announced. I was ready to pre-order last week. That didn’t happen so I pulled the trigger on the current Nexus 7. While I'm disappointed that I didn't get to get the brand new one I am VERY happy with it so far. I also got the official Nexus dock and a keyboard case. I have to say the official dock is so great I may buy a 2nd one! It’s overpriced but soooo nice.
Anyway, one thing I want to do right away is be able to get and send SMS texts from my phone on my N7. I have a Droid Razr Maxx by the way. What is the best software to do this?
Is there a free way to turn on the wireless tether on my Razr so I can connect my N7 to it? I also play Ingress and it would be cool to be able to use the N7 for that.
I'm not ready to root and try a custom ROM yet but what are some of the "must have" apps for the N7? Any info would be great!
Thanks

:cyclops:
Since its brand new, i'd recommend unlocking and rooting right away, just to get that out of the way should you wish to flash stuff later. Better to do it early since unlocking wipes everything and there's little data to keep that early. Having said that, I just finally unlocked/rooted after months of ownership and replacing all the data was trivial. Just a recommendation.
It's a very capable tablet completely stock, I just like tweaking things and the tablet UI is cool IMO.

Hello
As you know the release of Samsung Galaxy S4 GE and HTC One GE offering the same flavour as Nexus users already have a taste for.
Do you think inclusion of the new type of camera app and various other features in these junks defeats the purpose of owning a Nexus? It is we who should get the update of even a minute bug squash or changes to any core app.
What would be the update cycle of these junk phones? Will the Android updates be prioritised for the Nexus or will it released for the junks together?
Sorry for being rude, as a loyal Nexus fan, I seriously hate these so called idiotic Google Edition.

I sound like a broken record saying this since day 1. The OEMs have to put their proprietary drivers and kernels (firmware) into the image or the software wont' know how to communicate with the hardware. I guess if the OEMs were willing to release them to Google then I guess Google could handle the updates. Then you have to ask: why would Google take on that responsibility? Would the OEMs openly give Google those drivers in a day and age where anyone can sue anyone over anything because something looks similar to something else? None of that makes sense.
Yeah I'm kinda dissapointed... I want the latest and greatest on my N4 but still don't have it... Hopefully it's just a matter of days... Hopefully hours....

Its the same thing... You can see it happening step by step and what's occurring during each step.. That's silly if you ask me..
What turns me off is the simple fact that they are fake nexus devices.. While we will get Google updates almost immediately, those devices still have to rely on HTC or Samsung remembering to keep their thumbs out of their asses..

One click methods are in no way "the same thing".
Edit: I'm not trying to start an argument here, its my personal preference. If you like one click methods then thats fine.

Do you think inclusion of the new type of camera app and various other features in these junks defeats the purpose of owning a Nexus? It is we who should get the update of even a minute bug squash or changes to any core app.

I don't understand what you are saying. What other "features" are you talking about? A red phase beam wallpaper? These phones haven't been released yet. My guess is the N4 will get those changes when 4.3 is released which may come before the GE phones are even released. Most likely lots of backend changes to the camera were needed to get it to work with the new driver hardware in the GE phones.
Once they launch will be the last time they have something the Nexus doesn't. The moment Google said that HTC/Samsung were responsible for updates and they weren't hosting/posting source means those phones will almost certainly be behind the Nexus.

That's the point, why are GEs getting the new camera app with new arc like settings and Nexus are left behind. Why is that "we" should wait for 4.3 and expect that the new camera would be included in that. It is a clear blow to the loyal Nexus owners who actually gets all updates to the Android first, even a small bug squash.
And talking about other features, I'm sure there would be some still hidden not available to the Nexus owners.

I'm right there with you buddy. The reason I love Nexus devices is, if something goes wrong I can flash the factory image and everything is good again. No factory image from Google = no go for me.
Edit: Before I start to see "HTC has the ruu and Samsung phones use Odin to flash back to stock". I don't like one click methods. I want to fastboot flash all the images one at a time so I can see what's going on.

Hmm...wait and watch.
why are some people sooo sensitive, "my nexus should get this first" , "all others must wait" ...
look a little out of the box, these Google Edition phones are promoting stock android, whether they'll get updates parallel with the nexus or will join after a few days/weeks delay it doesn't matter. We all want more stock android options, and that's a step in the right direction, popularizing stock bloat-free android.
So, yeah, grow up and stop acting like samsung galaxy/iphone/etc.. blinded fanboys.
Can't believe you guys are complaining about a new camera app and live wallpaper. Nexus is just asop pure android 100% Google stuff... Doesn't mean Google owes us latest of the latest updates.

How do you know the GE phones will get those features first? They haven't even been released yet? And they won't be in users hands until after July 9th.
