The new vp9 CODEC tecnology will be an improvement in data usage, and will be implemented in youtube this year
Google is reducing the difference between Mobile Chrome, PC Chrome and Tablet Chrome
New web platform payment feature makes it easier to fill out forms and shop on mobile.
[*]Google Play for education announced. Apps will start to be released in summer. Also chromebooks for education.
[*]Google+ introduces 41 new things: new stream, new hangout appand new picture experience.
[*]New "related hashtags". Google will analyze a post content and will add it's hashtags automatically with an image recognition system to make the user discover related content.
[*]Hangouts: a new conversation app from Google. (very very similar to whatsapp ) As I thought, Blackberry and WP are out. Just for android, ios and computers. It also has video chat, very similar to the ios facetime!
[*]Good combination of camera and cloud services
[*]Google will clean your photos in the cloud. Will select the best ones and delete the duplicates, blurry... etc ones. Amazing.
[*]Google introduces Picture enhance, to edit pictures automatically and correct them.
[*]Google introduces Awesome. Combine pictures to create animated ones.
[*]Google improves Speech engine. Now u talk to google as a friend, not with key words.
[*]Google Now: now you will be able to introduce remembers at the proper place at the proper time by saying them to google now.
[*]General improvements in Maps and Earth​

So far not exiting. The s4 unveiling would lead me to believe no new update to software.
Also I'd assume that this was why LG got the nod for the nexus this time around. Samsung prob wants only to be known for its galaxy line.

Seems that not today, my friend...

Not looking good for an announcement of a new OS or the rumored "X Phone".
Lame...

This sucks....I was waiting for a long time for that Android 4.3 announcement. Crappiest Google IO ever. *sigh*

I was hoping Google would lessen the price of the N10 since it's sales have been slow at best.

Not physical proof.
But for what it's worth, I've read reports online that the N10 sales have been even less than the Surface.

really really sad! That key note was more than lame...

So that was it.. No 4.3, no new Nexus, etc. etc.

IOS already has the New Hangout. But not the Google Play Store? Something seems kinda wrong about that...
Over-Clocked! & Under-Volted!
LiquidSmoove-KT747 BABY!

Just check out the old Voice app.

There were plenty of good things in I/O. Just not alot for users. They focused alot on Developers. No big surprise there.

new Google Search is live. Download it!

Do they always announce new android version at keynote or do they also unveil it at a later time during io? Would be sad not to see an update until the fall.

Very glad to hear it. Now Google just has to kill off the absolute horrid camera app it has and build a new one from scratch. Read the Anandtech review released today of the Nexus 5 and you realize how terrible the camera app is.

Camera I think is good. App can agree with you. Curious to see what this new app will bring.
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

So I wonder if I'm rooted with a custom ROM, if I'll have to go back to stock to get the fixes or if custom Roms will be able to update their source. I come from the Sprint Galaxy S4 so I'm used to these updates being very tedious if you're rooted and on a custom rom.

New Version of Android and Camera Fix coming soon! WooHOO
Once the OTA is spotted a zip ( odexed/deodexed) will pop up in the dev threads shortly after. You should be good.

We got all excited before about a potential update, but found this article here which has some decent before and after pics http://www.mobilephonereviewsuk.co.uk/android-4-4-1-update-expected-next-days-camera-update-included/

Any idea if one would be able to sideload the nexus camera app without root to the moto x? Similar to how you can sideload the GEL.

I'm happy about the camera improvements but what about the email exchange bug? I sure hope that is fixed in this build. I don't want to use a third party app anymore.

I hope they fix static noise when record voice.

Umm before spamming your blog at least mention that these are from The Verge and post that link instead?

This is the first time I can think of that Google has released a version update to the media before releasing it to the masses. Very odd.

They seem to have a good relationship with the Verge.. I think it's better than being clueless until google decides to roll it out.
usually google says, new camera, coming soon.. Rumors start.
I feel this is better sicne we get the news and an idea of what it actually will bring.

I agree. It's just a move I haven't seen before. I'm sure they want to calm the minds of prospective buyers for the holiday season.

I wonder if it will also fix the signal dropping problem?

Waiting for google to fix the 56 errors!

Here's a direct link The Verge's gallery with sample photos: http://www.theverge.com/2013/12/5/5177304/nexus-5-updated-camera-sample-pictures

doubt it. the exchange notification has been around since gingerbread i believe. doesn't seem like it's a thing google is even working on fixing.

No. With the Nexus One, all review units got the releases the same time as Google employees. And many of those phones were given to the press (without having to return it). So they were able to see the new updates before anyone else. I think now, the press has to return the review Nexus phones but I'm sure they are setup the same way (given early access).

Alpha tester here! Wanted to spread the word now that we were out of stealth phase!
Nextbit Baton offers several benefits to users, including:
Sync: Keeps apps and data in sync across multiple devices, allowing users to move fluidly from one device to the next without missing a beat.
Pass: Send any open app in its current state to another device, saving time and eliminating the tedious process of manually finding and opening apps on different devices.
Backup and restore: Save apps and data to your Nextbit profile in the cloud, so you can always get your apps back on any device.
Nextbit’s private beta is exclusively on CyanogenMod, the leading open-source, community-driven Android OS backed by Cyanogen Inc. The future public release of Nextbit will be available first on the commercially distributed Cyanogen operating system.
“Cyanogen continues to reimagine Android by introducing bold new firsts,” said Kirt McMaster, CEO of Cyanogen. “Nextbit represents one of these platform firsts that could only manifest on a truly open Android. We enable Baton to become a native OS level feature, creating huge benefit for our users.”

So as of right now this is CM-only, correct, not a free-standing app? Looks cool, I like the idea of having a 'cloud' backup of apps and not having to take up space on my phone.

Could be very popular.... If it wasn't limited to CM. Just a suggestion. ?
Many senior members seem to stay away from CM. ?

This is a nexus forum after all. Not to say we're AOSP fanboys or anything, but most of us are AOSP fanboys.

I am really like the concept. :good:

I'm another one who will pass (no pun intended) as long as it's CM only. Never had anything but issues with CM.

That's because like PA they always push out "milestones" which are betas. Hardly ever a real stable release. But that's just my opinion.

It works pretty well. Amazing concept that was executed fine.

That's not how it works.... It lets you, say you were playing a game, you paused in the middle of the race, and sent it to your tablet, it would pick up at that exact point, still paused even, you have to have the app on both devices, it takes the data and the apps current state, sends it to the clout and to your other device verrry quickly and easily too (source: i was in alpha)

How does it handle resources on the SD card? For example, a game that has a 1GB download of additional resources that get stored on your Data partition in some folder?

[IDEA][AOSP] S-pen feat.

Hey guys frozt here just thought I would drop an idea by you guys that love the note 4 but hate touchwiz.
So I was thinking in theory it would be possible to when detaching the spen to open the "Pie" control since when you do it on stock the spent quucksettings popup, and pie is way more customizable and user friendly
So my whole point is do you think that this would be useful?
P.S. I went to my nexus 6 I need a Turing point as to why I should come back to the note 4
Stereo speakers and 6in screens a big deal for me. Any thoughts?

so listen to this

there are many pie apps available in google play store. download any of them.
now go and search in same play store with keywords "note", "spen", "detach" and you ll get 2 or 3 apps which allows to launch an app on detach on aosp as well. chose wisely. hurray you got it.
nexus 6 with stock vs note 4 for tw.
---> tw has many options compared to stock android and nothing beats shealth, air command (spencommand for replacement), writing buddy, one hand, toolbox, upsm, camera, snote, finger lock, multi window, lock screen effects, accessibility settings, private mode, s finder, pop up call ................. phewwwwwww and many more.
hope you got your answer. :silly:
if stereo speakers is all u need then i cant do anything for you but screen is almost same only 0.3in difference so it should not matter.

I ran CM11/12 AOSP nightlies on my Note 2 right up till now. I replaced it with a Note 4 and you know what, Samsung knows best when it comes to the S-Pen and has integrated it well. I'm probably not going to flash any custom roms this time.

I love my nexus 6, its got everything I'm a visual guy and the look makes it sexy. I build widget in Zooper and it just adds to it, but Samsung has more of what I will need as I'm headed towards my pH.D.
As for the apps I understand that but what I was getting at is detaching opens pie with those feats from stock. Idk just and idea I thought no one had explored. So my nexus is posted and I'm gonna trade it!

Also I'm a T-Mobile user would the snapdragon be better or exynos?

snapdragon for better custom roms support as exynos will always suffer with lack of devs working on it.
and note is worth every penny. its not for guys who loves big and beautiful its also worthy for day to day work for any individual as well.

[Q] XT1092 - Convert to Vanilla Android?

So I feel like I've been doing my research, and reading plenty on the XDA forums (awesome resource BTW). But as usual I think my question hasn't been answered specifically. So here goes:
I've been using an Australian Moto X (2014 - XT1092 - ret.eu.all) for a while now, and I'd like to return to bone stock, vanilla android land as I was when I was running Nexus devices. The added Motorola stuff is ok - fancy lockscreen, camera, Moto Voice - but plain old everyday Android works better for me.
So I read the bulk of this thread and I understand Benjamin's advice, but before I pull the trigger I want to be certain. It seems like most people are doing this mod to get Lollipop. And to be honest, I'm not worried about using Lollipop or KitKat - I just want the various Motorola 'features' gone.
So - Will Ben's advice give me plain old vanilla android the way Google intended it? Thanks everyone! :fingers-crossed:
Aus - Not Carrier Locked

I totally get the idea of getting rid of things you don't like, but you know ALL Motorola features can be turned off, right?

Incorrect.
The phone works differently than my Vanilla Android device, I know, because somedays I switch back to my (painfully slow) Nexus 4. The Motorola'ness is ingrained throughout, even changing simple things such as the Navigation Prompts in Google Maps (Moto X: "Turn left in 300 meters". Nexus 4: "Turn Left in 300 meters onto Charles Avenue".) Google now seems much less useful on my Moto X, it doesn't seem to be gleaning as much information from my habits as my Nexus was. There are lots of little things that just make the phone seem less functional than the stock Android is.
Someone prove me wrong, and save me the hassle of flashing! :good:

If you want none of moto's features, you jsut have to disable them, everything is exactly the same for me, google now, maps act the same as my nexus 5 ! The only difference I found was not having the google dialer, but you can flash it to have it working.
If you really want to get rid of all moto features, you can always flash custom Roms like CM.
But I really don't get the point of buying a moto if you don't want any moto features.

I don't have any of those issues, and I'm not sure how the Moto apps could cause them.
