Android 5.0 L Factory Images being released tomorrow? - Nexus 5 General

According to http://www.android.gs/android-5-0-l-factory-images-for-nexus-5-and-nexus-7-available-tomorrow/
there will be Factory images of a beta release of Android 5.0 for Nexus 5 and 7 tomorrow.
discuss
According to Google, the factory images are only preview builds and not the final version of the operating system, which means it can come with bugs or unfinished features, in order to allow developers test their apps for it and take advantage of the 5000 new APIs it comes with. Along with this, I believe the company is also expecting testers to report back the bugs they find so they can fix it before the official release to the public.

Nexus 7 4.1.2 update rolling out.

Android police just announced that a 4.1.2 update has been released to AOSP, and the Nexus 7 is apparently already receiving it!
We're releasing Android 4.1.2 to AOSP today, which is a minor update
on top of 4.1.1.
As a note to maintainers of community builds running on Nexus 7: please update to 4.1.2 at the first opportunity. Future variants of the grouper hardware will have a minor change in one of the components (the power management chip) that will not be compatible with 4.1.1.
The build number is JZO54K, and the tag is android-4.1.2_r1.
Enjoy,
Conley and JBQ

Jean-Baptiste M. "JBQ" Queru
Technical Lead, Android Open Source Project, Google.
Update #1: 4.1.2 has already started rolling out to the Nexus 7, though mine doesn't see it yet.
Update #2: Since I mentioned seeing 4.1.2 with this very build number in the server logs, I'll throw in the devices that I saw running it, in addition to the Nexus 7 (this doesn't mean the updates for them are out now, but rather a good indication of what's to come):
Are we ready?
JellyBean 4.1.2, the incremental follow up to 4.1.1 isn’t a major update by any means, but promises to improve performance, increase stability and fix certain bugs.
It also adds rotation ability to the homescreen, something that wasn’t possible in the previous version of the software.
Could someone please post a dump of this (or point me towards the easiest way to download it while running a custom ROM on my N7)? I'd like to hack away at pulling out the launcher and making an update.zip for it.
Hi everyone, I hope this update will fix the lag problem with few mb/gb free on my N7.
I dont want to flash the factory image cause it wipes everything.
If I flash a nexus 7 stock rooted odexed will I receive the update? What do u suggest?
Hopefully Google fixed the bad display calibration!

To be clear, What JBQ says in that post is that the source of 4.1.2 will be pushed today to the AOSP repo, he asks to the community maintainers of nexus 7 builds (such as CyanogenMod) to update the source ASAP. it does not mean that the Nexus 7 is receiving an OTA update now, I will soon I'm sure,
JBQ also said that the updated factory images will be available as soon as the OTA is, and that the change can be pulled from the commits in the repository..
That's all for now.
So I have my Nexus 7 rooted and unlocked running stock software, will I be fine to get the OTA?

Actually, there are many reports of Nexus 7 users getting the update so it is rolling out now. It also adds home screen rotation to the stock launcher.

Open-Pdroid Project
Any one else I am missing
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What is Guardian Rom?​
Guardian ROM is a custom android ROM multiple devices. The ROM is completely Open Source and based off of the CM10.1. While this build is stable because it's based on CM10.1 it is a preview so please expect some bugs, & missing features (i.e updater).
What Features does Guardian Rom have?​
Kernel is hardened with SecDroid Tweaks.
ROM is patched with and includes OpenPdoird for
permissions management.
Guardian Project apps are pre-installed – These include Orbot (Tor), Gibberbot (Secure IM),
and more.
CSSimple and OStel (https://guardianproject.info/wiki/Ostel) are included as replacements to the
built calling apps. providing encrypted communications.
If encryption is enabled and password is entered wrong 10 times the phone wipes user data.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Coming Soon:​
Including support for Deniable Encryption (similar to Truecrypt hidden volumes).
Including GRSecurity for exploit mitigation and more secure phone.
Including SQLCipher to ensure all data is encrypted whenever possible
Including a customer “app store” for our repos.
Different lockscreen pin and Pre-Boot authentication password.
Auto-Prompt for encryption setup on first boot.
​
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How to use:​
Simply flash the flashable zip through your favorite custom recovery. (TWRP is recommended as it supports encrypted devices). Once flashed you should enable Full Disk Encryption by doing the following (may very depending on device):
Code:
Settings --> Security ---> Password [enter a strong 8-16 char password]
Than
Code:
Settings --> Security ---> Encryption --> Enable Encryption
Downloads:​Downloads are over here.
Please verify the downloaded file with the attached GPG signature to ensure is is a legit copy.
GAPPS
Google Apps are NOT included and before you flash them you may want to read this article.
UPDATES:
Since this is a preview I have not had a chance to remove or modify the CM Updater. Please do NOT use it as you will be flashing a stock CM10.1 build and not Guardian Rom. This will be fixed shortly.​

I may use SeAndroid. Right now I am focusing on the encryption side of things instead of the exploit mitigation side. That will come later.
Been following your work on sec Droid, this looks like a very very good start! May I know which version of CM that you used for this? Or it is based on the latest repo when you built it.
Thanks!

The next build will have an AOSP 4.2.2 base with Mobiflage built in. Also Lock screen PIN and Pre-Boot PINs are now separated. So you can use a simple 4 digit pin on the lock screen and a 32 character pin at boot.
Also for more security you have to passwords one for the "outer volume" which you use as you daily usage and one as "hidden volume" which is your hidden os. You use the second for anything sensitive. That way if an attacker tries to force you to give up your password you just give up the outer volume (decoy) password. There is no way to prove the hidden volume exists.
Encryption also uses AES-256-XTS now instead of AES-128-CBC. Better key length and protection against watermarking attacks.
EDIT: If anyone wants early access please PM. The build is not ready for prime time as there is no GUI for encryption but can be used as a daily driver.
SecUpwN said:
No, I'm sure you're right. But since he explicitly stated that he won't build an ('unofficial') AOKP version, I'm looking for a way to get in the favor of the securiry modifications without gaving to switch to another ROM. It's just that AOKP has so many cool simplifications compared to CyanogenMod, I'd like to avoid a switch backwards. Maybe he could create an unsupported AOKP version every month? Possible?

Or you could compile your own. Not trying to sound like a d**k but he had already stated numerous times he is only doing Cm base and yet u and others keep saying do this for aokp. There is a reason he is using cm as a base.

I'm guessing the modifications he has been making go a little further beyond a flashable zip. Otherwise he would've done that instead of making a whole rom around privacy.

Yes. I custom kernel is needed at the very least. Not to mention removal of Google Apps and tweaked UI for encryption (mobiflage). All of these are OS level tweaks and cannot be made into a ZIP.

This. AOKP will NOT be supported. EVER. If anyone wants a different base download the source code from my github and compile it yourself. Build documentation is on there. Furthermore AOKP and CM10.1 are both great roms, however there are too many variables. Both have a ton of unneeded binaries and settings. We cannot guarantee security are these builds. We choose CM10.1 because it's fully open source and has fewer complications then AOKP. On NEXUS devices we are using AOSP modified with our security tweaks. On non-nexus we use CM10.1 for now for simplicity.
I am hoping with the recent Google Edition devices it will be easier to port/compile AOSP onto those devices.
TL;DR:
WE WILL NEVER OFFICIALLY SUPPORT AOKP.
Thanks for understanding.This message is only meant to stop these requests, not to be rude so please don't take it that way.

We are working toward this. The issue we are having is that while 4.3 is latest 5.0 may be just around the corner. We don't want invest a ton of effort just to have re-port everything to 5.0 if it's released 2-3 months from now. That's not to say 4.3 won't happen. It's just we are focusing on adding more security. For now stable is 4.2.2.:good:

Wait for it guys the developers don't Iive to please you and besides, the source code has not been released yet. Give the ROM devs a break and stop filling up the threads with requests for 4.3 in new custom ROMs.
I want to stay on my custom ROM but want to enjoy some of the new stuff in 4.3. How should I go about doing this?

For the curious:
What's the whole story of this leak?
Quoted directly from AndroidCentral:
A few weeks after Android 4.3 leaked for the the Google Play edition Galaxy S4, today we're seeing the same pre-release build — JWR66N — leaking out online for the Nexus 4. The unofficial firmware comes to us from Jeff Williams on Google+, who bought his Nexus 4 on Craigslist from a Googler, only to find it running the pre-release software. With a little help from the Google+ community, IRC users and XDA, Jeff was able to create a system dump and backup of the ROM. Currently the radio and bootloader are missing from this package — word on the forums is that they'll be provided at a later date.

I post updates in the OG thread sometimes for these drivers since the OP and most users who used to maintain them seem to have moved on. I did already post these (if you searched the other thread [emoji14]). You would also have seen that most users did report several different bugs which were also confirmed with other users.
Oh and as per Qualcomm;
"This release is intended only for developers, and does not meet our customer release quality."
Expect bugs. Read the established thread for more info!

Older versions of OxygenOS removed on the OnePlus website

Hi
I see in the support page of the OnePlus website, the downloads page have been removed. It only lets me download the latest version of OxygenOS, where can I download older versions still? And why are they doing this?
I can't help to think that they are going to kill off the downloads.oneplus.com website as well. If that is the case, will XDA have OxygenOS listed on their forum in the ROM section of OnePlus devices?
Thank you

Not sure about OnePlus's history on this (keeping the old download links alive). But I never bet on anything (download-wise) staying on the internet forever. If older versions are important to you, then I would recommend saving them to your PC or some storage device. Storage is cheap nowadays. I always keep versions of old stock ROMs, TWRP backups, etc on my computer. Maybe that is the pack rat in me. But I tend to be over-prepared for any eventuality.
The threads below regarding the official updates have a lot of links to various previous versions. Good number of folks post links on non-OnePlus mirrors (Google Drive, other file sharing websites) and you can often find these links interspersed throughout the thread. The first thread is the current official OOS thread. The second thread, is the old one from FunkWizard, which has a lot of links to older versions - depending on exactly how "old" you are looking for. But again, those links won't last forever (some are already dead).

You don't need an admin for something like that. SpasilliumNexus can start a new thread. If it is deserving, you can ask a mod to make that thread "sticky" (but that usually takes some general consensus). Or if there is an existing applicable thread (Index, guide, etc.) then ask the author of that thread to add the links.
OnePlus pulled OOS 5.0.5 and 5.0.6 from the official Download site
Does anybody know, why OnePlus had pulled OOS 5.0.5 and 5.0.6 for the 3t?
I wonder if this is a revocation by intent (if so: why???), or just an unaware web designer. Sadly enough OnePlus doesn't like to answer my question: https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/download-oneplus-com-where-is-oos-5-0-6.933687/
Interestingly 5.0.6 download is still available for the OnePlus 3.
