I'd love for this to happen, do you know if the kernel source is available for the method used to dual boot? I got an i9100 dual booting with gokhanmorals dual boot, we should start there with sharing the Linux kernel between two ROMs then it would make experimentation on a secondrom Less risky
Once I finish my degree this June I'll be paying our device a lot of attention
P.s. unrelated I'm in the UK but need to find a replacement digitizer for the Xoom min has a hairline crack all the way diagonally through the sscreeen!!!

So if it was implemented like gokhanmorals dual boot method. we wouldnt be able to boot ubuntu aswell right?

In my opinion i think the uboot bootloader would be better,
And on gokhanmorals s2 kernel. He just used the s2's 500mb preload partition as a system. and had a 2gb data partition on the internel sd. and cache. He didnt have 2 different kernels. The same one for both roms.

Anyone managed to put the note 2 os on to the note yet?

I have been watching videos on youtube and the note 2 is pretty epic...the way you can have two apps running on the same page just like a laptop etc just looks pretty epic.
If some one has done it, link me to it, or if someone is in the process and it comes out in time, then remember me and link me to it
Lol thanks guys

It's part of the new Touchwizz framework so sources aren't available and we can't port the note 2 roms to the note because it's different hardware and drivers. There's a chance they'll include some of the note 2 features such as pick up to answer in the jb official release but that's all speculation at this point, just have to wait.

But surely if someone has managed to get HTC sense working (is) on the note then the drivers etc should not be to hard?
Well it would be hard for me but I have no idea what so ever lol
I really hope someone does it at some point, because it does look rather impressive.

First tweak/mod you want to do to your N4

I want to get rid of the on screen buttons first and regain full 4.7" real estate.

I would obviously root. Then the first thing after that would be to unlock the bootloader.

I'm probably going to try out stock Android for a while without any tweaks to be honest. I have never done stock android or a Nexus device before so I'll see how that sits with me. After that I expect the on-screen buttons will likely be tweaked somehow since I'm not used to them. Then I'll be waiting for my unicorn swagger with AOKP.
Unlock the bootloader since that erases everything on the device. Then, show my gf how my Android phone blows away her iP5. It's Ok, she's used to it.

I was actually wondering the same thing. I just read a thing over on AndroidCentral on how to unlock the bootloader, and they said to do it before you set up your phone because it wipes all the data. What are the advantages of unlocking it? I've only had a phone where you need to run an app to root it, and another to install a recovery and flash a ROM. I still know how to use adb and such, but I've never needed to use a bootloader.
Tapatalk² from my Optimus V
Underclock the hell out of the device or disable 1 or 2 cores if possible.
What app allows the guy in the video to use those keys? I've seen a couple apps similar but they weren't as polished.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Unlocking the bootloader allows for custom recoveries to be installed, otherwise it will be locked and that means that any programs you have that try to install a custom recovery will fail. I also think that you need the custom recovery to root the device and so you need to unlock for root too. To be completely honest there are no negative side effects (apart from your data being stolen if your phone is lost) and so I would always recommend unlocking the bootloader asap, I've had a few friends want to run CM10 on their Gnexus and I had to tell them that they'd be wiping everything including the internal storage.
I know I'll be unlocking before I turn the phone on for the first time.

RAM question

I know I've seen something with custom ROMs sometimes only showing partial RAM availability but I can't find anything on stock.
I only have about 820 of the 1gb specs for use, is this normal?
Noticed while trying to compare custom and stock ROMs, and it is present in both so it just had me wondering.
Sent from my MB886 using Tapatalk 2
I did find some information on the Atrix4g having 200mb dedicated to the webtop, is this somehow related?
Can anybody at least confirm this is what it is for RAM availability on this phone?
I just want to make sure in flashing a couple ROMs I haven't somehow changed something out of the norm......

From what I understand Ubuntu Touch is still in the testing phase. Word is that Canonical will launch a stable build by the end of this month. So it mere days/weeks. The preview was beautiful. Personally excited to get my hands on it.
The only drawback I can anticipate will be the initial lack of apps. Which won't even take long to change I'm sure.
Currently on PA:3.15
Thank you to all the devs working on any ROM/app/mod/kernel grinding their finger tips to the bone. :beer:

I really don't see that happening at all (failing). Been following it up to this point of the preview being dropped. I realize its early to say but I feel that it was the first OS to do exactly as any company had advertised. Nothing more or less.
When I had my Evo LTE threads were full of support for it. Ubuntu alone has definitely taken off, have it as a dual boot and primary on another.. So personally I believe as long as it stays on the path and future they are creating we can expect something pretty awesome. There was some mention that people felt it was just a launcher in a sense. Idk I felt it was entirely new experience.
Had a chance to test the Infobar as well. Which the two operated very similar. So it gave a full preview.
Being in love with Paranoid and having a gesture based phone I'm still looking forward to it. Worse comes to worse I think it will bring alot to future android development. But all in all I would love to see it succeed and become a major player.
I tried it out today...because i just got my N4 and haven't activated it yet...and well...the keyboard wasn't working...it was pretty as all hell, but i can see how it's a beta...painfully so...

It's not even in beta. It's a developer preview right now. They don't even expect testers to use it just yet. The wider testing phase should be the end of May or early June. That's when 3g and auto bug reporting will be enabled.

It is in "dogfood" stage, meaning that their in-house developers use it on a daily basis. It runs fine, there's just not much in the way of apps (even built-in) for it yet. It can be laggy at times because it is not optimised, but a person could use it daily if you don't need a lot of apps on your phone.

Just bought a Nexus 7, worth rooting?

I just purchased a Nexus 7 and was wondering if it's really worth rooting and installing back custom ROM. I mean the tablet is already running the latest version of android, so would a custom ROM with a few extra settings and an overclocked kernel really be worth it?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I'd just root it using the exploit so you still have your warranty. The nexus 7 stock is good and stable. Just need rooting
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
Root it now because you might not need to flash custom ROMs at the moment but you might want to in a month or 2 and then you will have a bit hard time backing up your data as unlocking bootloader wipes everything.
Worth rooting or worth instilling a custom ROM? I think rooting is a good idea, but haven't seen a compelling reason to install a custom ROM.

It's a Nexus device. Basically a developer's toy. Of course you should root and unlock this bad boy. You're missing all the fun. Have you seen the loads of roms and kernels for this thing?

I rooted mine the first day I got it and it's totally worth to root it. Also flash a custom rom while you are still messing with your device.
Yes I rooted and unlocked mine first day,
you can unroot and lock Bl if you need gurantee.
im so lucky to bought a second hand with no problem at all no dead pixel no bat prob etc..

a) yes, root it. might as well before you have a bunch of data built up (since an unlock wipes everything)
b) no, the dead pixel is not normal. get a replacement.

Does one dead pixel result in future dead pixels?

What about unlocking the bootloader? I'm thinking of rooting mine for basic SU privileges such as blocking ads. I don't plan on running a custom rom as I think stock is just fine.
Mine is rooted and unlocked from the first day i'm buy it.
To me it's more than worth I can't live without ad-blocker, expanded desktop and pie.
And another reason is i'm spoiled by my nexus 4, the nexus 7 stock rom and kernel is not smooth enough for my liking I don't even able to scroll through facebook feed smoothly but with some good custom kernel and rom combined I can.

I bought it a few days ago and after a hour it was unlocked, rooted and with a custom rom (cm10.1) & custom kernel (M-kernel) and i'm loving it).
My tablet before the N7 was also running cm10.1
Does anyone else have WiFi issues? Both my phone and laptop pick up signal perfectly from my room upstairs, but my Nexus struggles to load even a 420p video.
