Post your leaked info here about 4.2 Nexus 7 dump/build

Hey guy's!

There's already been leaked apps from 4.2 so this means we all could be just moments away from a very stable leaked build...good luck and droid droid droid happy flashings!

4.3 ROM Artwork

So I have a Nexus 4 and am currently on 3.69 PA. I am an illustrator and that got me thinking that if anyone has an ORIGINAL ROM that they would like some custom artwork for I'd love to help. I really enjoy the work done in this forum and since I'm not a developer, I figured I could give back this way. If so contact me via PM.
You can check out some of my stuff here: rasheedwarsame.com

www.rasheedwarsame.com made it a link for you, and you have nice work man! Really nice.

Thank you for sharing this information. Honestly we do care and are very greatful for it, its just we needed that little bit more info on the source, as you may have seen its very easy for people to just claim they know things and post them publically and with tensions running so high as we are very happy about the device I feel many of us jumped to conclusions.

Yea, there have been many rumours about the release in the past which makes us difficult to believe on any1

Take a chill pill, please.
My suggestion, dont use safe terms like:
"I work for a big media company"
"I cant go into names"
"If people don't like it i would suggest don't reply"
It sounds very fishy and not very convincing
FYI, there are haters everywhere

I think the whole floating chat head thing was a gimmick. It had very little function value. Multiwindow is where we need development

+1. I found the floating windows thing intriguing but the overall user experience of Halo just frustrated me for the most part. I'm not sure I'd use multi-window much on my Nexus 5 but my Nexus 7 is crying out for a well-designed, stable answer to it.

Yeah its not like the notification bar is ever far away anyway.
I do use multiwindow on my "5". Mainly when I want to copy and paste from one thing to another (XDA perhaps?)

good.
HALO was terrible. too much of a gimmick. very little functional improvement

I was a fan of halo loved it in full screen games etc ..
Hopefully they have something up their sleeves .. I got a feeling they do

Definitely, while I enjoyed Halo at the beginning, the first time I used Multiwindow I realized Halo had died right then.

Well damn, here it is on the Nexus 5 Paranoid Android thread, where they got the link from. At least look at the link on the site I posted before commenting, or hell search the PA thread. I think a PA Dev knows if it's happening or not, and since that's who posted it, well.... it's kind of true. Here's your link.

I tried to get into Halo once. Didnt find it useful because, like someone else said, the notification drawer wasnt far away. It was useful if you had the statusbar hidden but thats it. And I don't like the statusbar hidden. Hopefully whatever they come up with next will be better.

Yeah I checked out the link on the website. I actually posted the same one up in the PA thread an hour before yours lol. Just don't see the need to make a thread in general regarding a rom that's in the development forum. Plus it's better since the PA devs can actually respond since they don't monitor general cause it gets constantly cluttered with questions and pointless threads.

Not into official builds but it's in a few unofficial builds and it looks ready to push out. It's really nice man. I'm actually trying to find a good custom cherry picked Omni rom.
