Hey man I am getting confused about 4.2 cuz first I hear it is going to be key lime pie and now I just read over at DROID LIFE about the SAMSUNG NEXUS 10 with picture's of the device running 4.2 saying that it's a modified version of jellybean what gives.It's nice looking though

So far their saying 4.2 is still JB....but who knows for sure yet. I just anxious to get it, no matter what's its called!

What gives is Jelly Bean just came out. ICS is still JUST rolling out to handsets. Do you think Google would tick off OEMs by calling a minor software revision Key Lime Pie (thus putting most manufacturers 2 updates behind)?
Or maybe it will be Key Lime Pie. Think maybe we should wait until the event and find out?

Yes they are probably right. As jelly bean is a modified version of ice cream sndwich. Just performance enhancements etc but no drastic changes to the ui.

Yeah that's pretty much what I see as well the article says that some of the enhancements will be done to the camera and short cuts to your settings and of course gmail also wifi but mostly it looks the same but here is to hoping

Maybe they should call it a brand new version "Key Lime Pie", maybe some of these manufacturer's should speed up their processes and get the updates out quicker. Although, half the issue is the carriers need to agree as well. We all see how fast the dev community can do it and these manufacturer's have WAY more resources and direct contact to Google.

I own two phones: the Motorola DROID 3 and the HTC DROID DNA. And both are phones I think deserve Ubuntu OS. But my DROID 3 especially, I no longer use it, and have wanted an operating system other than Android on it for a long time. Firefox OS, Open webOS, and now Ubuntu. But out of all of thes , I want Ubuntu the most.
The problem is :
I don't know how to code.
Plain and simple, I have no idea how to do anything you guys do. And so I'm really hoping you can bring a new OS to my now sitting in a corner phone. Will anyone here take the time to develop for it?
Do they meet the system requirements? You might want to ask a rom developer in each of the phone's specific forums
The Droid 3 meets the minimum requirements for the entry level version, but not the high-end version that can dock with a monitor, keyboard, and mouse..

Hope these two power houses get a port of Ubuntu phone os
They definitely should, especially considering the Note 2 has 2GB RAM.. Hell, I think the Note 2 could run the regular Desktop ARM obontoo.

My wife has the GIO and it is more of a low-end device..
Anyway, I know there is a lot of people saying it could be ported.
Just so you don't get your hopes up too high. I will mention a few reasons why it most likely will not be ported:
1. It is a arm v6 CPU , Ubuntu ported their core to be arm v7 compatible as a minimum, so if someone manages to port it, to armv6 which involves a lot of code changes and recompiles then the support from 3rd party apps will be very limited to QML/Javascript and HTML5 apps only..
You won't get no apps that contain anything binary QML/C++ as they would need to be ported to the lower architecture as well.. Also all packages in the repository will need to be recompiled and supported from 3rd party's to be used. There is no official support at all..
All together , we are not talking about a port, it will be more of a fork of official to armv6 hf . the effort involved is similar to what raspian has done to Debian to support armhf v6.
2. Less resources on the device.
3. You need to find a developer that is insane enough to do point 1. If you do, then there is still point 2. That can be a problem.
Cheers

The gio/ace/fit/mini devs can do anything.
Fully working CM10.1, and more.

Gio will get ubuntu one way or the other, if not the devs probably worked their buttholes off.

Yea that's what I hear all the time.. You may have a running cm10 on that device. Sure, but you are comparing native against dalvik VM and that shows you don't understand. You sound like devs are some magicians, we are not, we are human and there are technical limitations on the gio that makes a port useless waste of energy so i am not going to waste time on explaining anymore.
It won't work, just get a new device ...

I remember reading that the original Nexus 7 had a Bluetooth Low-Energy compatible Broadcom chip, but that stock Android didn't have support for Bluetooth 4.0/LE. With the released 4.3 which labels 4.0/LE support as a key feature, has anyone running 4.3 managed to get BLE functioning or tested it at all?
Based on my tests, our last-gen Nexus 7s haven't got support for it with 4.3.
I use the API 18 and there is a BLE sample in SDK, I build it and put it into my nexus 7 with android 4.3. The BLEsample app show "BLE not support".
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Like the Galaxy Nexus, the 7 was not FCC certified for BT4.0, only BT3.0.
The old 7 will NOT have BT4.0, even on Android 4.3 and up.
Might be possible using custom ROM. Like cynogenmod. I wish they could put support for that feature.

Is it just me or is anyone else not bothered about upgrading to 4.3 yet? The forum is littered with 4.3 questions/issues:
How do I get 4.3
Why have I not got 4.3 OTA yet
How to I get 4.3 OTA
How to I go back to stock to get 4.3
How do I flash 4.3 image
X app is now crashing on 4.3
I have no in call audio in 4.3
How do I get X on 4.3
Which kernel is best for 4.3
... the list goes on.
There's thread duplication everywhere. It's nice to see a new release but the updates seem quite minor to me, the only update I like is the better battery life. I'm quite happy to stay on 4.2.2 until a stable customisable 4.3 ROM and kernel is available.
Am I the only one in this boat?
I think the main plus of 4.3 has to be the addition of TRIM into android.
This will dramatically increase the longevity of devices.

The persistent notification thing is really annoying me, otherwise I'm enjoying it
One of those things, people don't seem to understand that:
- They ought to just be patient and wait for the OTA if they are running stock. It will come.
- With every new release Android there is period of merging, bug fixing, and, of course waiting. Devs overcome the last issue by releasing half-completed ROMs and gradually add more features back in to it with more releases. Often means that you are upgrading in order to have fewer features.
Personally just going to wait until franco.Kernel has all features merged, PA is all complete, and everything is working properly in official releases (eg. the changes for root access). Less hassle, wipe, reinstall, restore, and go back to a phone that was functioning in the same way as it was before.
Touch driver updates are my huge notice. Screen seems much more responsive to me...... That's it though

Update is not worth it, but lots of people were waiting for it, that's why there us so much attention for it, but I'm sticking with my 4.2 rom until they update to 4.3 because 4.3 ROMs right now don't have many customization features

The improvement in battery life on 4.3 is pretty good. I used to be at a point where it wasn't a whole lot better than my galaxy nexus (so I just used my galaxy nexus for the removable battery), but now I don't mind using my N4 as my daily driver.

im thinking of switching back to cm10.1.2 and matr1x kernel. right now you gotta either stick with 4.3 stock or 4.3 custom rom and kernel but get used to the little bug here and there. i'd say not worth it for 4.3 now. yes it's a bit smoother and battery life is a bit better, but for me all the hassles are not worth it at thr moment. glad there are a lot of people stick to 4.3 custom roms and kernels so they can test those out and report bugs to the devs, but for me to use this phone as a daily driver, im thinking going back to my stable 4.2.2 setup with greater battery life because of the stable custom kernel and uv.

Hey guys,i was thinking a bit,and i thought,since we have fixed video recording on grouper blobs,couldnt we now get offical roms from grouper blobs? Im mainly thinking about Cyanogenmod,since the majority of officaly supported roms for our phone sync with cyanogenmod repo (like aospa) so can anyone tell me is it possible?

Perhaps it is possible, however the way these Roms are built using Jenkins? I think it's called Jenkins for automated builds, it builds all devices at the same time, as we are using grouper blobs and audio and camera wrappers etc. it may cause dependency issues with other devices and therefore will stop the whole batch of nightlies. Which they will not be happy about or even want.
Also the wrappers are using legacy modules too i think? Which don't like some devices so will need adds/removes i think i might be wrong. The sources will need to be modified with ifneq and endif to filter the adaptations for our device in the Android.mk's? and it would seem like too much trouble for what it's worth. I think CM dropped legacy support as well didn't they? maybe? I'm not too sure about that....
Although i may be wrong, and all corrections will be editted in if i have made a mistake, i don't mean to mislead, still new to this stuff :3
ifneq ($(filter p880,$(TARGET_DEVICE)),)

No such conditionals must be present, it works well with the default build system. It's just a few commits needed and it would work. Otherwise it's usually preferred not to use other blobs than those supplied with the device.

I am kidding about the nexus,and i was just wondering why we're not implementing them offically,because now they don't have no more bugs than Cyanogenmod sources.
Sent from my LG-P880 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
they still have issues with camera... special functionalities doesnt work with grouper blobs on e.g. blur lens in google camera... barcodes cant be scanned in a realtime...
i think official blobs and grouper blobs are on the same level of awesomeness now when @Adam77Root will repair rest of camera things grouper blobs will own
Well, the CM team would have to accept the grouper blobs, and I honestly don't think they would. Partly also because it is (theoretically) not allowed to use grouper blobs, and if one would, he/she could file charges for using grouper blobs. So I guess this will never happen.
But, the p880-dev sources are publicly available, so everyone can use them for their ROM. And regarding CM11, I am compiling CM almost every day with the grouper blobs, so this shouldn't be a problem as well
