This isn't meant to be a rumour monger thread but IO is coming up soon and that most probably means a new version of the OS. Be it 4.3 LKP (Lime Key Pie), 4.3 JB or 5.0 LKP, it doesn't matter. New stuff is going to be coming our way!
Wanted to get a feel of what people are doing to gear up. I'm guessing a lot of folks have their phones rooted. Quite a few of them have custom ROMs installed.
AFAIK, if you're on a non stock based ROM, you'll not get updates. In such a case, are you guys going back to stock are just going to wait for your favourite ROM to update?
If you're on a stock ROM which is rooted, you'll probably lose root (I had issues when I went from 4.2.1 to 4.2.2; not sure if this has been "fixed"). If you're going to be losing root, will you guys probably downgrade and wait the last 2 weeks or upgrade anyway?
My Answer: I'm on a custom ROM myself figuring I should downgrade to get the update. The ROM is MoDaCo's CM 10.1 based 'My Custom ROM'. Though it's got a "pretty stock feel", I have a feel I won't be getting any updates from Google cause it's CM10 based. If I'm wrong, please let me know.
The revert to stock post is a bit old, someone (may be me?) should write a better and clearer tutorial since I'm guessing a lot of users would want to downgrade now
I'll use new stock on my nexus 7 and keep using CM in my nexus 4 :victory:

Interesting. I never saw that screen. Mine had downloaded over night and was ready to install both times (4.2 to 4.2.1 to 4.2.2).
They usually roll out the updates the morning of the IO keynote so my guess is the folks in the US should get the updates on the morning of the 16th. Those on the other side of the planet should see it in the night (or some time in the morning).

I figure this also since this is what was done with the Galaxy Nexus.
When it comes I want to lock and get back to stock roms and everything. Why do I buy a nexus if I won't try vainilla android?
And sure after 2 weeks or so, maybe I'll look at cm 11 or carbon/pa getting the update of sources.
Hope android get away blue, I love it but some change be well received

Depends on what 4.3/5.0 has to offer. If it doesn't impress me too much I'll wait for an updated version of AOKP, elsewise I'll switch to stock as soon as a rooted stock rom is available. I would prefer the second outcome

That means that you can only download the update via wifi until May 1, from that day onwards you'll be able to download via either wifi or 2G/3G.

I think I'll do like some others and see what new features are involved. If there is a significant change to the UI, I may change depending on how it looks. Otherwise, I'll probably just stay on what I'm using until a custom ROM comes out using the new codebase.

I just got his all set back up and was able to restore root via Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper. Also, I wanted to mention that I just tried ADB and ADB sees my device and I can SU to the root prompt as well.
I wonder if the inability on the previous leak was a bug that was patched in this leak.
Anyway, thanks for the update! Keep up the great work!
P.S. I'm coming from the stock 219 GB ROM and I did a factory reset before applying this update.
Edit: I just noticed that my phone isn't seeing my SD Card while plugged into the computer. There isn't a charge-only option. No worries though.
Phone Model: Maserati
Android Verison: 4.0.4
Kernel: 3.0.8
Webtop: wt-3.0.0
Build: 6.7.2-180_DR4-16_M2-26
Build Date: Sat May 19 20:31:14 CDT 2012
Webtop 3.0 ICS
So, I've been using the new Webtop 3.0 on my Atrix Lapdock and I musts say that it is very different than the previous Gingerbread Webtop
PROS:
I like the new tablet view you get when you dock your phone.
Phone apps seem integrated a lot better
Webtop is much more responsive
CONS:
Ubuntu seems to have been removed completely. I'm worried about future mods / Webtop development
Desktop Firefox is also gone. However, I have Dolphin browser and that seems to work fine.
All-in-all this version of Webtop seems more responsive and better integrated, so +1 for the average user I suppose but doesn't seem very Dev friendly.
Let me know what you guys think
Yes, this is the drawback of webtop 3+, it is native android. Honestly, it is a much easier way to go, and will promise more google/motorola dev in the future, but sucks for us who were excited at running ubuntu.
I see this as a good step forward. There will be less memory issues now, and yes, we will have to use android apps rather than desktop firefox, but then all is windowed instead of just in the mobile view.
We can also look forward to Canonical's ubuntu phones eventually. With a nice quad core, that'll be what I will be using when it is available! In the mean time, I will have to put to bed my like of ubuntu/webtop2.x in favor of a more workable solution. Who knows, perhaps the vnc viewer will look good on webtop 3.x if you have ubuntu installed...

Does this version of webtop require a external pointing device? All I have is the travel adaptor that enables the webtop I bought it thinking I could use the touch screen as a track pad not the case.... I hope this one does....
Sent from my DROID4 using XDA
The phone becomes a touch screen in webtop mode, but you are definitely better off with a BT mouse and keyboard if you really want to use it a lot.
I agree about the removal of Ubuntu, it's far more useful to average users but you could do some very interesting and unique things with the Ubuntu installation that won't be possible with this setup.
Has anyone tried to roll back from ICS to GB? I know I'm asking something that can be a nightmare, but I figured I'd ask and see if anyone tried it yet. Also has anyone done a system dump of the new release yet?
I have not tried the rollback, i just hope I have a roll forward eventually
DarkMidnight, i am also using my atrix lapdock, do you have an issue with your screen resolutoin/aspect ratio? I have everything on my screen as it should be, but I have a black bar on top and bottom like i am watching a widescreen movie on an old TV that was square. I was wondering if this ROM doesnt like the atrix lapdocks, and was thinking about swapping out a few of the dock files from a atrix rom.
I honestly think the resolutin is correct, it is as if the monitor is using the wrong refresh or aspect ratio. Not sure how to tweak it. In the settings i have toggled the hdmi plugin detection on and off a couple times, and I can see that there is a resolution setting, but it is greyed out. thoughts?
all in all, i like having ICS and webtop 3. I was skeptical but took the leap, and i dont regret it, providing I can fix my resolution prob. I love that there is no lag from running two operating systems in one little handheld PC! With webtop 3, it just runs smooth.

Trying to go back to GB will brick your phone. DO NOT DO IT!!!
So we're seeing the same issues as the last version. I guess I'll have to wait till we can roll back as needed. Thanks
What "issues" are those that you are speaking of? I just noticed that overnight I lost root I did the root keeper and actually used root apps last night, but as of earlier today, I do not have it. Anybody have any ideas?

Hey Guys I don't know if I am alone on that one. I've updated to 4.0.4 on my D4, still rooted thanks to Voodoo but for some reason I can't get 4G LTE service. My 4g LTE blanks for not even one second then the phone goes to 3G. Anyone experiencing it?!!!

You need to unzip it first. When you unzip you'll get 2 files (one .zip and one .crc). Put the .zip file on your sd card and flash through stock recovery.

This is a thread to vent a little so here goes. OK this will not be a news flash to most users here but something that is becoming a HUGE pet peeve of mine. I guess this is happening more lately because many of our regulars have left for other phones and what we have left are noobs. But what is the deal with the same old questions being asked over and over and over and over and over again (and same people answering them over and over)?! How hard is it to use the search box around here?
Let's see if we've heard these before:
1. What are the best tweaks for this phone?
2. What are the best ROMs for this phone?
3. How do I install this ROM/kernel? Gee IDK, maybe read the OP!
4. How do I get better battery life?
5. Where is that 3.0 kernel?
6. (Statement) "My benchmark is..." and then (never fails) "how do you get that score?" Ask, rinse and repeat 10 times.
7. When is there going to be an update?
8. What should I OC to?
9. When will the camera be working with this ROM/kernel?!
10. Statement: "This ROM/kernel is so fast and smooth"...Next day, next week or next month the same person says this about some other ROM. I'll plead guilty to some extent due to the fact I've switched a million times after stating how great this, that and the other is. Nonetheless still annoying to read these kinds of statements being repeated until the next flavor of the month shows up.
I know it's getting to the point there are things running out of to talk about this phone anymore, and again I don't claim to be squeaky clean. Not that anyone has ever listened to this advice from others, but I'll say it anyway. Will some of you PLEASE do some research on your questions before you ask them? I want to emphasize the is not a knock & bash on certain users, just stating what could help keep this place (I mean the SGE4G forum) from dying a faster death & running off devs sooner than later. I still enjoy the forum around here. Just my two cents so disagree if you care to. Keep in mind the guilty parties are always the most defensive!

Exactly. It's not a FAQ/then answer type list, just a list of redundant questions. Besides even if I did answer 'em, others will come along different answers and then the questions will get asked again elsewhere anyway. As you stated, subjective anyway. There are no right or wrong answers half the time.
BTW I'm not saying it's always wrong to ask some of those things, especially if it's something brand new. Problem really is the same questions in the same thread get asked all the time when a simple query in the search box would take care of it.

LOL, thanks for updating this thread although when you mention Xquizit we are going back in time a bit!
Yeah, I just did a full wipe on my old Exhibit, then installed TWRP 2.5.0.0 non-themed version, then installed a Holo theme, then installed AOIP and my AdBlock Hosts file. Pretty much getting it set up to give to one of my younger siblings to use as a wifi device.
But I had some good ol' days with XquiziT when I first got it a year ago! (Wow, it really has been 1 year! Just look at my join date!)

What is ChameleonOS?
"Chameleon OS (or ChaOS for short) is a custom Android ROM that gives the user more control than they can experience on any other Android ROM. Starting with a CyanogenMOD base, we customize each piece to give ultimate control while maintaining the simplicity we all love about Android. The most notable feature of ChaOS is the theme engine, which can apply different pieces of themes in a true mix-and-match style. The launcher has been completely overhauled with tons of options that you'd normally need to download a third-party launcher for, such as home screen previews, folder sorting, and folder icon styles. The Messaging app has also had some UI retouches, including messaging bubbles and quick emoji button," (http://www.chameleonos.org).

5.) reboot and let it sit for 5-10 min
6.) enjoy!
7.) I am hearing great things about NOS so, If you want to use it go HERE:
8.) Camcory's latest kernel (included here) has OC, set to default ondemand 1.4 ghz. If you don't like this, tap the build number 7 times in settings>about phone. This will enable developer settings,so now you have Performance mode, where you can change the clock speed.

This is one sweet looking ROM. Cosmetically it has them all beat. Also note the OC kernel has new governors, "adaptive" and "hyper". Boot time is very fast. Overall performance I'll know better later on after I try a few things. Nice work here Apant. Hope you get your "Team Insomnia" banner soon!

Question did anyone figure out how to enable messaging bubbles can't find it in the settings. Also every time I go into widgets it let view the first 3 pages then the launcher stops is this just me or can anyone confirm this? I wiped everything before installing twice fixed permissions fixed a lot of fc after wiping and installing the second time.
Is this what you mean by text bubble? Once again I'm not sure why yours force closes, but this project is very early only version 0.6 so I'm sure it will improve and right now my computer is occupied but when I try to build for the my touch 4g I'll get an update.

OK after a normal days use, have to say while I love the ROM's interface it's not near as fast as Baked. A lot of my apps were slow to respond and I got a lot of "... isn't responding" while using them. I tried using different governor's with the CPU, and no other tweaks besides NOS were used. Just like I did with Baked. I don't know if this has anything to do with the kernel, the NOS script, the ROM or all three.
Anyway each person may have a different experience depending on that they use and so forth. Still a nice ROM. BTW another positive I got was battery life seemed slightly better while the screen was on & apps were used. Can't confirm for sure as I didn't compare everything.
As you say, theApant, it's early days for this ROM, and I like it! I was wondering if anybody else has tried swapsd with this ROM. It's not that it doesn't work, or I can't access one of the SD cards. I get a ' system ui has stopped ' error every other reboot, and freezes and one random reboot. All problems disappear when not using swapsd.
It's no big deal, I use NFS most wanted for testing ROMs, which requires using swapsd. I have slim and baked nandroids if I need to game. Just wondering if anyone else had similar issues.

As you say, theApant, it's early days for this ROM, and I like it! I was wondering if anybody else has tried swapsd with this ROM. It's not that it doesn't work, or I can't access one of the SD cards. I get a ' system ui has stopped ' error every other reboot, and freezes and one random reboot.

I didn't use SwapSD and got the error with System UI as well. Didn't get any random reboots though.
I have been following most of the AOSP threads fairly closely to see people's experiences and I have seen a disturbing amount of people report bricked phones. The odd thing about it is that these bricks didn't occur during the process of flashing a rom. They all happened (or most of them at least) while trying to power on the phone after it was turned off or in deep sleep. Here are links to posts by DIFFERENT AOSP rom users who all experienced similar issues (one of these posts contain links to 3 other posts):

I personally have run Slim's rom for a good 4-5 hours w/o problems. However, I went back to Sense shortly thereafter. I'm not trying to cause some kind of panic but on the same hand I don't want to see people sitting around with a $500 desk ornament. Bottom line is we are responsible for what we do with our phones and as a result we should do as much research as possible before flashing anything. Look before you leap!
Edit: Here is an additional means to record your brick experience:

Thanks goes out to the user who took the time to do this.
Yep just be careful guys the only warning I had to something strange happening was that my phone didn't charge at all when I turned it off (to try and charge it fast) it still charged while powered on however. But once it died that was it. Also no overclocking or system setting where really changed in my case.
Here's how I got a replacement went in and told them it wouldn't turn on and I myself at the time thought it was the battery so they said that could be it but again I wasnt to sure and neither where them. I ended up paying 50$ without tep

That's some messed up stuff.... You shouldn't have had to pay since it was a "hardware" issue. It should've been covered under the manufacturers warranty.
Lol it was but I needed a phone fast and didn't go through HTC

I know but whenever i've had a problem like that it's always been a free fix through sprint......
yeah I am in the same boat, I believe I was the first to report this. At first I thought it was just me and I passed it off as nothing. Since I've got my replacement I've watched people starting to trickle in with the same exact problem on AOSP I would definitely avoid flashing AOSP until the cause is narrowed down and solved if possible. As I said before it would be a damn shame not to run AOSP on this mighty device, but I have to stick with sense for now and hope that this problem is squashed soon.
Wow really? How upsetting. I'll have to keep an ear open. If there is any news regarding this issue please share

Has anyone on a NON AOSP rom run their battery down and had it die? Did it charge? I know on a few other phones it was actually the recovery that had this issue. I would try it myself but as I have my phone through work, replacing it is a bit more complicated.
I work for sprint and had a guy come in who bricked his phone. A simple relock of the bootloader and an ruu flash and bam phone was up and working fine. Is that not working for aosp bricks? I've personally haven't had any problems out of aosp roms

you are not able to relock the bootloader. we're talking total shut down, no power, no charge, no recovery, no bootloader, no fastboot adb devices, not a thing period point blank. i have the dead device still, and for the life of me cannot get it to do anything. I have been on my replacement for 2 weeks now running sense. hopefully the cause and solution are near.
Well... I was thinking of trying an AOSP ROM, but I guess I will hold of on that thought.

I'm with you on that
Until we get more kernel sources/reliable code out of HTC, playing with AOSP can be a dangerous game. And tbqh, it could well be OP's fault (not saying it is, but it can be). Flashing custom software of any kind is going to give your carrier/OEM an easy way out if anything goes wrong, which everyone really should keep in mind before making the jump.
What recovery are the "bricked" users running. TWRP or CWM?
Yeah I had my battery die completely on a sense Rom, but I was easily able to charge it and turn it back on 2 minutes later.

Glad I'm doing a lot of reading before I make the jump back to HTC. Seems like the One is more of a pain in the ass to Develop (safely) for than the GS3. Looks like I'll be sticking to sense for a while.
For once in all of my android ownership, I'm not really pressed to switch to aosp so this isn't a huge deal for me. The phone is already blazing fast and I actually enjoy and use a lot of the features HTC has implemented into Sense 5. And HTC's browser is the smoothest I've ever used. I do hope someone figures out the problem though. Hate to see more people get bricked.

So far, only TWRP users have reported this issue.
I don't want to be Mr. Obvious but I'm assuming that you guys have already tried the trick of putting your phone under a bright light, etc etc
I hope I'm in the right place for this.. I just wanted to say hello I'm Alex aka. Mysticfrog.. I've been a serious fanboy of Samsung phones until late last one being a note 3.. Great phone but just really got tired of the whole gimmick it was turning out to be. So I decided to check out the nexus 5... Big time different from the Samsung series of phones but I Love it!! It's fast sleek and just all around incredible.. This is the total Android experience I have been waiting for.. anyhow I just wanted to introduce myself so hi all... I've read a lot of threads here and y'all seem like a bunch of cool guys and girls I'm just glad I made the step.. The development here is amazing so I'm looking forward to hanging and having fun

Yup, root and flash all you want, no KNOX on the N5
Check out the first 4 threads in the General section (this one) for all you need to know about doing stuff.
Oh and hammer away on it..its built to take it. Its a hammerhead, after all...

Embrace the sense of freedom, it feels amazing when you're coming from a HTC or Sammy device... so, SO many roms and kernels to chose from and they all mostly work together, unlike for example HTC One X where half the kernels dont work with the other half of the roms and you gotta repack and flash the kernel through fastboot... what a chore just to switch kernel. And S-off... ffff... Anyways welcome to the world of Nexus and hope all your flashing experiences go smoothly! :good::good::good:
and LOOOOL at the S5 comparison with the bandaid ahahahah! good one

yeah you hit the nail right on the head a phone full of junk!!! that and knox I really dont understand why sammy added that..
All i actually did was roll into tmobile to pay my bill and while i was waiting I saw this device just chilling there looking like a chocolate bar so as i started messing with it I realized that some of the roms i flashed on my note 3that i really liked originated from this devise.. So i sat down looked it up, checked out some reviews played with it some more and realized this is the true android experience i crave.. well actually i pulled up the xda site to see how much "love" this device was getting and that kinda sold me.. the development is huge here... Im running droidkang right now which im loving..
one question tho is there any way when i flash a rom how do i keep my music from being deleted?? What i do is basically just redownload it from my laptop, is there an easier way?? Im just used to having that internal mem card... thanks for the warm welcome all..
WELCOME

I read that Samsung is planning on making the wearable electronics compatible with all Android devices soon.
Just ordered the Nexus from Tmobile.com
Had the s3 for 2 years, was considering the Note 3 and S5 (i have a love/hate relationship with the S5)
But like somebody earlier said I crave for stock android plus it helps that my mother has a nexus 5 and 7(2013).
