Video features
Who would like to make a list of features that would like to see in a video. For example the egg easter on the settings. Just something that want to see. I'll upload the video tomorrow when I install Android "L"

No point in making multiple threads for the same. Please continue the discussion in this existing thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/android-l-discussion-t2794623/page31

Great.. Now we should start another thread too.. Everybody should have their own thread for Android L... Yeahhh!!

would all you tools stop posting DOA threads and just report them? You're far worse than the OP. Stop bumping it. Stop trying to get attention. Just stop.
And yes I'm aware this post is somewhat hyprocritical. But I posted when the thread was already on top, and I reported it, and this needs to be said to the sometimes idiotic community.

@deusfaux is right, report and move on. No need to bump this to the top, especially when you don't even report it.

Gingerbread Update

This is not intended as a speculation thread about Gingerbread update for optimus black!
I have seen some information on LG facebook page about the netherlands receiving the update. I would like to ask if this information is valid.
The reason for opening a new thread just for a question is that there is no other open thread related to Gingerbread update for optimus black on this forum.
Also I would like to ask the kind moderator overseeing this forum not to close this thread, but instead I suggest to keep it clean (by editing/deleting missplaced/insulting posts).
Should anyone have any other information related to the update, feel free to post it, just please don't "speculate"!
Translated from italian: Lg italia Facebook
In response to numerous requests received, LG has tried to speed up as much as possible the release of Gingerbread for Optimum BLACK declaring its readiness to start this week.
We regret, but there are problems with imperative that forced us to delay the release of Gingerbread for Optimus in BLACK.
LG's goal is indeed to ensure the highest quality releases on sw. We are confident to release the update in the coming weeks.
We apologize for the inconvenience and we thank all users of Optimus Black for your confidence.
sincerely
LG MOBILE.
My Europe Open phone does not currently have any updates besides v10E. Unless the system checks for the country in which you are currently in (as you can travel with your phone anywhere and the system checks for the IMEI afaik), there is no current update. A post will be made as soon as it is available.
Please DO NOT reply to this thread unless you have *proof* that it has been released, or any other official announcement (with source included). Any other reply will probably only be trolling or spamming. Thanks
fyi:
I live in the netherlands, and they still dont have the gingerbread update.

Theres nothing wrong of having a single speculation thread. We just need one place to talk about it. A moderator can just delete this thread once the official update is disclosed.

What can you discuss about it? "is it here yet?!?!?!?!?!?" "why it is not here yet?????" "LG sucks" "the world hates us" "never going to buy LG again" "I hate you all". There is only one fact: it has not yet been released, and nothing we do will influence that, no matter how much we "discuss" it
That is the kind of answers you will shortly see in a GB speculation thread. Will it be helpful to anyone? most likely not. Will it get in the way of people that check this forum to actually see when it is really released? probably yes. Just my two cents
Well a lot of people want a speculation thread so why not give it to them?
Think admins are locking these threads for no good reason.

I guess a thread about GB makes sense while LG announces officially update, then nothing happens, then LG apologize. It's good to write the news somewhere, for people who's time isn't unlimited for searching such things. And also, there's no speculation when there are official announces. A speculation is based on a thought, on something unsure and unknown, not a fact.
Man these moderators act like hard core dictators. Hope I don't get banned for this now. Lol

Can anyone tell me what benefits GB have over Froyo? I don't think about bugfixes, i think about performance, new GUI options for MODs etc. Why do people want GB so much? And what does GB lack that will be so awesome with ICS? I haven't figured that out yet. I don't care for the new GUI, it looks kind way to flashy bling bling, dark with "blue neon", kinda geeky, lol.
I mean, i don't want my phone to look like a colorful toy, i want it to look sleek and sexy, and ofc preform well I'll mod every possible aspect of the phone, at least those whose look childish (and a lot of LG's crap do).

Thank you. And a glaring example is right above your post. Alyy81, posts like yours are why these threads get closed.
You do not need a thread where people rant, rave, whine and cry about the antipated GB update. It benefits no one and causes nothing but disruption in the forum. If it were to remain an informative place where real information could be shared it would be one thing, but that's not the way these threads generally go. They get reported. By forum participants. It isn't an arbitrary decision on my part or on any other moderator's part. For responding to reports and keeping the forums clean we get berated, called stupid, dictators, and any other manner of vile insults.
This thread is now closed. As will be any other thread opened like this. If any real information comes out send it to me and I'll post it in the thread I updated today. Send me a PM with the information and if it is real, good information it will be posted.

New: Girl into Droid!

Before I ask my last question, yes, I am a girl, that loves technology, games, and Android. I was in iOS before, always creating mods, and always tweaking and stuff. I gave my good bye to iOS, since Android lets you do MUCH more. iOS is too specific, popular, secured etc for me.
Back on Topic y'all!
So, yesterday I successfully rooted my Nexus 7, 4.2.1 using WugFresh's Toolkit. It is now rooted, but still new.
What do I have to do, to be able to fully theme my Nexus 7? Example, to change navigation bar color, and police color, the maximum customisation I could get for my Nexus 7. I looked on Google, but, nothing. Thanks!
PS: Think I can even modify/edit/mod ANY games I have on my Nexus?
Thanks y'all take care okey! xoxx

You probably should have posted this in the last thread you started.
Starting multiple threads is a no-no here.
To answer your question, I advise you to look in the themes section of the nexus forum or do a Google search for 'xda theme tutorial' there are a few of them around and I've come across a few of them as I browsed through various forums.

OP - I closing this,because this is a well discussed topic. Please take some time and do some additional reading and research..

Why my threads are closed?????

There is no freedom to talk in these forums, guess u people are making stuff resticted to those who just came here to flash roms.
No space for improvement i guess. Some narcissistic people are willing to make this forum like the symbian forum which is now closed forever.
When there is a question posted, wait for the reply before closing it atleast.
Some hopeless blind followers are not letring the critics do their work. I will keep on saying that google is forcing users to use their services.
If u wanna close my thread close it but dont expect that u can easily shut me up. I will share my thoughts to some place else.
Truth is always bitter.

If google is willing to make it better then they should implement things i am suggesting for tizen in their android.
Its plain and simple they are making basic functionality compromized even with such a great hardware due to poor piece of codes. My dialer pad opens slow, keyboard lags, wifi signal drops even a cheap nokia does these things in a flash. When i am suggesting how to improve people are making fun of me. Thats sad.
Constructive criticism should always be taken with open heart.
For a general user beside installing a seperate keyboard and launcher modify notification menu what else is there? Nothing this is simple customization.
Widgets are not androids stuff, old nokia started widget fashion so i would not credit android for that.

Anyways, if you don't understand then ask the mod in question to explain.
Well, I would guess your threads are being closed because they don't fit the forum you are posting in. You are in a Q&A for the N7000, help and troubleshooting but your subject has nothing to do with the N7000, troubleshooting or help. Maybe post in the General Section:

Same thing in the Nexus 4 forums. Angsty unconstructive post

Another defiant post again on the same thing, does not contribute to anything except flame baiting
There you go OP,
now please counter each point instead of being obscure.
Go PM the mod if you are unhappy.
P.S.
I'm requesting that your thread be closed.
Well first the flame burning post because, soon N4 users will feel cheated. Google is cheating them by giving them something which is just a mirage. U can see the issues in that forum about their phones ehich theyvare encountering just after 2 months.
N4 users posted such flame burning threads on our forums, they then started abusing and showing racism on someones views.
xda is not loyal to any one company, so if we feel that google is monopolizing at one front we have the right to say it.
There are many topics which i started and were closed and after a few days someone else posted the same things and are still active.
These topics are posted in general discussions with no intention to disturb the development on any front.
Lastly we have to admit that via these web services we are compromising our data on daily basis and making specific tech giants more powerful and their data servers artificially intelligent day by day. I dont want them to sell us our data in future.
A clear example is youtube. Our data made comercially available to us. Sorry if u will just want to blow their trumpet and make us go in the ditch.
Today another user posted the same thing in N4 forum which i said 2 days ago and my topic was closed.
Another user on N4 shared the same opinion that we are forced to use google services, being android users.
In all the topics i posted just tell me where i was wrong.

qazibasit, I was not aware of your other closed threads. I did not close them. You were PM'd by the Senior Moderator who closed. So hopefully that answers the question you pose by creating this thread, which is also pointless.
I fail to see the "point" of the thread I closed. Your thread was just a complaint. XDA is slowly filling up with "complaints" of all manners. XDA is and always will be focused on development, not just of Android, but all platforms that enable us to better our devices.
What in your thread I closed, allows us (the XDA community) to improve Android? Why post them here? Why not submit them to the AOSP I provided you with a link for? If you are not prepared to attempt to fix the "problem" you have no foundation to make any complaint about it.
Google do not charge you to use their services or features, nor do they make you use them. You decided to buy an Android handset. If your unhappy about that, then that is your decision. When you buy a new handset, buy iOS, Windows Phone, Blackberry, there is choice, you just made the wrong one.
If anyone has an issue with the standard of moderation from any moderator please contact the Moderator Committee (in confidence) with your concerns.
Lastly before the "Freedom of Speech" card is played. XDA is not a democracy, nor do you have any right of freedom of speech here. You all agreed to the rules XDA expects all users to follow. You should also read this. http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/ilaw/Speech/

A read about the forum state regarding Kit Kat OTA update

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..

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.

He he yeah not your fault at all. They need to be moved by the moderator team into android development along with xenonHD. They simply are not doing anything other then the 1000 of android development ROMs....kanging. No original work at all. Nothing bad but hammerhead moderators decided at the beginning to clearly differentiate it...which is IMO a good idea...but this 3 silently added their ROMs threads into original and I think that's not fair for the other android development ROMs (like carbon aicp madhi etc etc) that user think this three mentioned above do original work.

It does, yes. It is against XDA rules to make Best ROM or Best Kernel threads for the reason that "some" devs don't like to be compared to others. It is against the Spirit of XDA. Even though your results are not technically what is best, it is still comparing the work so should still be against the rules.
I will leave it in the hands of mods. If they decide to allow this thread, fine. If not, also fine.

It does, yes. It is against XDA rules to make Best ROM or Best Kernel threads for the reason that "some" devs don't like to be compared to others. It is against the Spirit of XDA. Even though your results are not technically what is best, it is still comparing the work so should still be against the rules.

Yeah quiet difficult to decide here agree and something in a gray zone I think lol. On the one hand it is a comparison on the other hand very anonymous and it shows specific stats as well for the different ROMs and kernels (like which version most are running etc). And stats about quality speed etc are not ROM specific and only shown as overall impressions about all ROMs and kernel....difficult lol.
Whatever yeah mods need to decide.

Definitely a grey area.

Unfortunately comparison threads are not allowed on XDA, be it a poll or just a thread. While it is anonymous that is not the point, as mentioned some ROM/Kernel devs do not like seeing their work being compared to the work of others. As this is as outside poll (and a nice one at that) I must remove the link from the OP as members could still vote and view it otherwise.
