Well once the device is out and its rooted I would love to get my linuxonandroid project running on the nexus 7, I really think its one of the best tablets out as a base platform.
Being a poor student I will not be getting my nexus 7 right away (Although really hope to in the near future), and so would love a few testers to give it a shoot once its possible!
So this thread is really just to show interest if your not sure what linuxonandroid is check out the main thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1585009
And hopefully in the future the Nexus 7 can be a device that I can 'officially' support and give extra support for.
I will be doing it. I am going to wait a week or so before rooting it. Do not want any return problems if there are defects.
my other phone is Nokia maemo n900

You can unlock and relock the Nexus 7 whenever you want, it just wipes it back to factory when you do it.

To the "Stinky Dentist), get the Nexus 7. Has a nice development forum for it.
Oh, I moved this to general forum.

Apologies , Moscow Desire and stinky dentist...
Guess I'm just tired (been up for 30 hours)... it was the whole orange color scheme and the fact I couldn't really understand the question upon my first reading.
And you're right, MD, I'm not a moderator... I overstepped the mark... sorry.

@stinky dentist....
I don't know about the Samsung... but the N7 is a pretty cool device. If you're willing to go all the way with it (unlock the bootloader), there are some great custom ROMs to flash... and with a newly discovered exploit, it's easy to ROOT.
I suppose it depends on what you want to use the device for... gaming, browsing, etc. Flashing custom ROMs... Does the Samsung have an unlockable bootloader? The Nexus 7 does... and that is why it's such an attractive device for tinkerers like me.
Anyway, just my thoughts... you'll have to make your own decision of course.
Good luck... and once again, my apologies for being so short with you.
Rgrds,
Ged.
Thanks Mate. Cheers

No problem...
If you're interested in the 7inch form factor, and the Nexus 7 in particular, you might want to keep your cash in your pocket for a while, as there is a second generation Nexus 7 on the horizon, tentatively pencilled in for a July release...
http://www.pc-tablet.com/23388-google-nexus-7-2nd-generation-release-date-specs-android-50-updates
http://www.product-reviews.net/2013/04/16/nexus-7-sequel-sales-predictions-for-2nd-gen
There's a lot of baseless speculation, not least here on XDA, about this device and KeyLimePie (Android 5.0)... and even a putative further upgrade to JellyBean, namely 4.3. (If that happens, I will be astonished.)
If I were you, with money to spend on an Android tablet, I would hold off until the Google I/O conference in San Francisco (May 15-17), when it's expected significant announcements and product rollouts will occur... both software and hardware related.

What he said...
But if you need to buy one now, I would recommend N7... I am a Samsung fan and I own a few Samsung devices, but current gen N7 has better specs than Tab 2 7. One thing I miss though... is that Samsung has a microSD expansion slot. I miss this a lot on my N7 but other than that, I would consider N7 a better buy.
This is not a rant or a moan or whatever you want to call it. This is just clearing a few things up after the last few days what i have been reading on the forum.
Firstly support for N4 will still be there after this update, and i am sure we have at least one more major update to come for our beloved device. People saying that our phone will be next are just talking rubbish. People all over the forum are crying thinking that our device will be next. Until a confirmation from Google can people please stop with the conspiracy theories.
Also regarding with the launcher. Now i am not that really bothered if it gets released or not as i do not use Google Now. But again were is the official confirmation that the launcher will not be included for our device? There is none. Just tech sites writing there stuff as usual and every one is lapping it up and making a fuss.
I love my phone and i do not see a reason why i should upgrade to the Nexus 5. I do not want though people in the forum to start moaning about things that are not official yet from the God itself which is Google. Yes they are not perfect but until the actual release gets to our device and we have things missing then fine all hell can break lose.
Oh and one last thing. Yes am gutted that we not got the update soon as the release came out but we are still the first to get it were other mega devices are not getting it at least December or Xmas the earliest..So am still thankful for the Nexus line. But that will start not meaning anything soon anyway if they carry this new strategy of there to put money first before anything else.
But till then please take a chill pill people.
This will get shut down and deleted am sure but i just wanted people to read this and seriously take it easy till there is ACTUAL CONFIRMATION by GOOGLE THEMSELVES..
Mods sorry if this should not be here but sometimes a man has enough when reading through the forums and having whiny kids whine all the time.
And to add...We are XDA...If things go missing and are not included in the build that our beloved N4 should get then people trust our great and respectful Developers here who are if you do not mind me saying better than those at Google..We will have those features that the N5 has and if not should be better build than stock...So please show your support for our devs and less whining and help this place for newbies instead of moaning all the time about something that has not been confirmed yet
:highfive: for you!
This is exactly my opinion on the subject.
If you are on XDA, odds are that you know how to mod your phone, and believe me, everything that will not come with the official OTA will be made avaliable soon here on XDA.
Right, you might need root, you can argue you do not want to root but then what is the point of your anger if you do not want to take action to get something you want?
Just wait for Google to release the OTA and everything will be clear!
Should be soon I guess

exactly my friend. until something has been confirmed i do not understand why people are panicking. and by the next update which will be by summer time our phone should be more than capable to handle it and i am sure we are in for that to. phones should have a support from the OS development team ie Google at least maximum two years...so why are people are stressed is beyond me.
Now as the Galaxy Nexus that is a strange one and Google should state the reasons why they are not supporting it but again that is nothing to do with me or concerns me..But for people to start saying that the N4 is next is beyond silly to say

Sure there is confirmation. It is not included in the Nexus 7 WiFi KitKat update. And Google confirmed it with The Verge and said it is possible they will bring it to other devices other than the N5 someday but not initially.
Great post OP.. You know what I think it is? Purely my opinion after mulling over how absolutely weird the 4.4 rollout and release has been.
Ever been in a corporate environment where someone important is replaced? It's hell.. JBQ left and was replaced.. So here you have a new guy who is pulling the old corporate "I'm new and have to flex my superiority and change things to make it look like I'm doing something different and being productive" (ie: Fishing for his next promotion).. This happens in nearly every business.. It's hilarious to watch happen in real life because most employees know it's coming.. 3 months later after everyone hates the new guy and his useless changes everything goes right back to the way it was. I'm certain all the rumblings this is causing is being heard..
This is all very nice but it makes my think longer and hard did l make the right decision buying a nexus 4.With the ota out for nexus 7 and 10 l just wonder what the delay is with nexus 4

Please enlighten me, what's the difference between your thread and the one that got closed. You've already labeled all that don't share your point of view by "whiners" (btw weren't you the one that also happened to "whine" at the beginning? ) so what do you expect? It's obvious that any sort of discussion won't be possible here. Your thread will sooner or later became exactly the same place of mindless arguments and eventually closed.
But you're right. If am not interested to participate so I am done. Good luck though, I am sure you're get many "thanks".

It has to do with the Ti core not being supported anymore. Also, not being supported by Ti did not meant it doesn't work for Galaxy Nexus, just means Google would not support a device without former support to its hardware.
Anyways, Galaxy Nexus got 4.4 already, go Install it

To be honest the reason why i opened this thread is to get my opinion about the many things that i have read on the forum. Many false information that is going around by others is beyond ridiculous because they listen to tech sites most of them without any proper confirmation by Google itself...Now as to regarding the updates that are coming for our device if there is an official changelog by Google to say what are the changes from the older nexus devices compare to the N5 then i will eat my hat if it is out already stating what we are getting and missing out on..
But again people forget that XDA is here to help..Hence why we should not be ranting and raving
What am trying to say is that i want this thread to stick to a proper adult discussion about our device regarding the build that we should get..And i do not want people to give mis-information till we get it from the Big Boss itself

I can understand your point here OP but, the purpose of forums such as this one is to allow for open discussion on a topic. I see no issue with speculation or assumption as long as people keep their heads. That is, after all, what makes things interesting and keeps people intrigued. If we went purely on the facts at hand 100% of the time, discussions would end fairly quickly and most forums would be desolate places.

Hi all, can anyone develop ubuntu touch for us? @szezso if you can pls develop
It's not ready for general consumption. Read some of the reviews.
Blast you for raising a non-dev topic in the Dev subforum!
Also, developing is not as simple as words outta the mouth, it takes quite some effort to port Ubuntu Touch even for flagship devices, let alone ours. Szezso has his own life just like ours, thus we must remember that he devotes his free time to dev for us for absolutely nothing. He is already busy with dealing with unfinished issues in CM11, don't bother bogging him down with another request, especially if the request is put forward casually.

If you treat it a question then why post it in the Dev section? General section is where these belong.
Additionally, like said above, Ubuntu Touch is currently very limited in function. As I experienced the "stable" version on my Galaxy Nexus 2 months ago, only calling, SMS and basic web experience can be guaranteed, many apps are just placeholders or won't work properly. So even if you somehow persuaded someone to build, your excitement won't last longer than 10 minutes, I can almost guarantee that.

I finally upgraded to the Nexus 5 yesterday, yes I know the 6 is out but I like the size of the 5 better. I'm coming from a Nexus 4 and Galaxy Nexus before that. I'm excited to have this now to flash roms onto and play with the kernels! Good to meet ya'll!
Welcome to the Nexus 5!
Congrats on your new purchase. The Nexus 5 is still a great phone. I know you are probably excited, but it is not necessary to create a new thread announcing it.
If we allowed everyone to create these types of threads, important information would be buried. I hope you understand.
