HD2 is an HTC phone, so Android phones with similar hardware have drivers made.

Android is also Open Source. iOS is not.

did anyone start donating for Drew Garen ?
[Nexus S Android Development] Roland27:
Ok that's it. I can't take it anymore. I am going to freeze myself in cryostasis hibernation, and only will thaw myself out, when B5 comes out. Good-bye world, the waiting is just too much to take.

I am waiting to see how he got around almost none of beta4 being reusable
[Nexus S Android Development] Kpyto:
I'm going to sleep. Good luck for other waiters. Going tomorrow to write post-preview of Beta 4 without non-English locale support :( My all Sunday waiting of Beta 5 is over.

Anyway big thanks to Drew for a work on Beta 4 and future Beta 5.
[Nexus S Android Development] jamespwolpert:
N00b question; is beta 4 working on the ns4g?
[Nexus S Android Development] navjot94:

[Nexus S Android Development] navjot94:
:D Great advice!
[Nexus S Android Development] NicholasQ:
Ok, please bear with my noobness. But I am guessing that custom kernels for this rom will not be available until source code is released?

Second question, I am trying to google but can't find my answer. Why is source code important? I always see people asking for source in apps and roms but I don't know exactly what that means.

I understand these questions are a bit off topic but I figured maybe this will help other people (myself included) understand why it takes time for things to get released.

How did you get the link I saw it nowhere.

[Nexus S Android Development] ahqball:
Do a clean wipe guys... else the wife and kids might cop it when your handset doesnt work properly :p
[Nexus S Android Development] sirius b:
The same way we all got b4 before the link was posted. Someone showed his twitter updated with uploading. So like with b4 all I did was change the 4 to a 5 in the download link and it downloaded.

[Nexus S Android Development] MrNago:
Yes. Running it myself.
[Nexus S Android Development] shanyel:
Yes, working fine (relative to SDK port)

3G, BT - the main stuff yet to be fixed.

there are other minors - some UI/icons still left overs from GB

Also some force close - but we cant expect else.

So all in all the best SDK port I ever seen - excellent for a nice early taste

No all he does when he uploads is change the beta number so it went b3 to b4 to b5 all the download links are exactly the same except for the beta digit itself
[Nexus S Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Probably downloads a lot faster when the upload isn't fighting for bandwidth... Just saying...
[Nexus S Android Development] dskyers:
that makes sense lol
[Nexus S Android Development] navjot94:
EDIT: nevermind...
[Nexus S Android Development] dskyers:
download complete be back in a min.
[Nexus S Android Development] irishrally:
Not a trick. You just guess that the next release will have the same file name as the current release but with the release number changed. So you just search for the beta 4 link but change the 4 to 5. The file is already uploaded a while before Drew officially announces and gives the link.
[Nexus S Android Development] sirius b:
I started downloading almost 30 mins after that twitter post was posted here. I sure hope it was uploadec by then. Just sayin.
[Nexus S Android Development] sirius b:
Sorry I didn't mean to quote my previous post.
[Nexus S Android Development] twistedumbrella:
On a standard file sharing site, 100 MB takes roughly 1.5 hours to upload with a premium account and a decent ISP. I doubt he was trying to deprive anyone of the download, so a little patience never hurt is all I'm saying.
[Nexus S Android Development] ecclesiatic:
Beta 5 is showing on Drews ICS site officially now... for those that wanted to know ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] navjot94:
Patience? Have you seen the last couple of pages lol ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] sirius b:
I'm sorry I've upset you, someone else just stated he had it uploaded quite a while ago, but next time I'll remember your feelings when I'm downlowding things.
[Nexus S Android Development] irbane:
so i just flashed b5 and checked my battery stats and it says that its AWAKE even though the screen is off. anyway to fix this? i had this problem with b4 too.
[Nexus S Android Development] SamuelDebruyn:
Where, the latest post looks like 'progess report'?
[Nexus S Android Development] navjot94:
So b5 is still based of of build 13 right? No face unlock? I'm still waiting for mine to download...
[Nexus S Android Development] chamarthi:
Me too! Mail application still crashes when we a contact is selected :( anyway to fix this? had this with b4 too
[Nexus S Android Development] sirius b:
I haven't come across face unlock in the settings.
[Nexus S Android Development] brian6685:
Beta5 is running a little smoother for me...only thing is the wifi and signal icons in task bar look messed up...haven't tried other stuff yet. Good work drew :)
[Nexus S Android Development] sirius b:
My wifi icon looks similar to the honeycomb indicator
[Nexus S Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Lol, don't worry about me. Enough developers have left this site already because of users like you. I think that was punishment enough.
[Nexus S Android Development] mak213:
wheres the download link for B5? on the site its just a progress report no link

EDIT: nvm just refreshed the page DL link is up

Your the one who made the comment it obviously bothered you, if I upset drew I will openly apologize to him because I have no intent to upset someone who is giving up his free time for us, let him know what I did and he can pm me and I'll apologize to him in here without a problem. However you seem so concerned enough to call me out, yet not the guy who posted 15 secs after me, so since you like to waste your time telling others what damage you think they may be causing, by all means reprimand everyone for doing something that bothers you.

Am I the only one who flash won't install for from market?
[Nexus S Android Development] ka24e:
Those having issues with the setup can simply skip it by doing the 4 corner tap trick.

Top left, top right, bottom right, then bottom left. Simply tap those 4 corners quickly in that order and you can skip the setup. This works on previous android versions as well for those that dont know.
[Nexus S Android Development] irishrally:
Well the intention was to lighten the mood but maybe it wasn't funny.

[Nexus S Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Guess you missed the post right before yours explaining why I made the point. Sorry, I didn't realize how sensitive you would be. Not like I am on another device with my own version dealing with the same thing... Just been getting a lot of people that see posts here and then start pushing us for updates. Guess it is just the way things are these days...

Unfortunately, reality hits me tomorrow and I have to use my phone for emails..It get's real difficult..can someone please point me to a stock nexus s (gingerbread) ROM please?

I tried a few one installs but doesn't recognize wireless networks (always in Airplane mode) other ones just won't install because of MD5 check sum failed. Can someone please spare a stock ROM from their nandroid backups if any?

I know I was a fool not to take one.. Thanks in advance!!

This is the same as B4, no change has been made at least for me it feel the same:confused:
[Nexus S Android Development] sirius b:
I think you might be reading a bit much into my text, that damn misunderstanding of emotion (or lack there of) in text. I honestly have zero butt hurt feelings over this. I did however mean I have no intent to disrespect drew, and if me posting that link upset him, I would take responsibility and apologize. I have nothing but the utmost respect for someone who slaves his weekend away coding an sdk to fucntion this well, for everyone else. I have yet to push for, an update ever. Someone just ed asked where we were getting the download from so I shared the link. I hope to god if I ever came in here saying when someone would ban my ass because I that **** is lame, I worked on cars for 11 years, I know what its like to have service advisors over promise and under deliver, all on my behalf and then I deal with when? when? when? From an irate customer who was fed a line of ****.

Just got beta 5 going. When I connect to wifi it gives me an error saying the signal is weak...anyone having this issue or know how I can fix it?
[Nexus S Android Development] Roland27:
As for the one guy saying B5 was pulled?huh?? I downloaded fine, right after he posted that. I do not think it was ever pulled.
[Nexus S Android Development] sirius b:
Someone suggested under wifi in the advanced section to uncheck "Wi-Fi Connectivity Checks" and it improved wifi on b4 so the same may apply in b5
[Nexus S Android Development] lcchan1:
I could not tell the difference (for the last 30 minutes playing with b5?).

gmail, blue tooth, TB, etc - whatever did not work in b4 - still not working in b5.
[Nexus S Android Development] navjot94:
seems a lot smoother and I've noticed that the icons in settings have been updated.

Thanks for the hard work Drew :D

But not being able to restore titanium backups is a deal breaker for me. Making a nandroid and going back to cm7 till I have more time to play with this.

[Nexus S Android Development] NicholasQ:
For Titanium Users:

to restore apps, click menu button, preferences, scroll down to app processing mode, click it and click classic installer. I don't believe it restores app data with that so after the app installs, just restore data only.

[Nexus S Android Development] MaliceOmega:
yup. love the built in snapshot feature. the more i play with this rom and see all the goodies ics brings the more im wondering what im gonna be using custom roms for...

the only two things ill actually end up needing after i root is the system widget for the status bar and an oc kernel. and maybe back to a vertical app tray, im not 100% sold on the touchwiz-like side scollling. all my other reason for installing roms are taken care of.

it already has a awesome lockscreen, tweakable launcher, built in drag-to-kill*, cancel calls with a text, new folders, etc.

*= i think it kills the app anyway, or at least background processes lol.

what do you guys think?
[Nexus S Android Development] twistedumbrella:
They do not have an issue with porting the SDK. They get touchy when the Google apps are packed into a ROM, especially when it is a pre-release that gets a lot of publicity. The same thing happened to Cyanogenmod when it was first starting out on the G1. That is why you have to download the gapps packages separately when you download CM.
[Nexus S Android Development] irishrally:
Mybackup Root still works. I used that instead to restore everything.

[Nexus S Android Development] faizalmzain:
although the beta build is not perfect but it's been my daily driver since beta3.

i can't go back to primitive OS like GB.
[Nexus S Android Development] MaliceOmega:
i second that. once i got a taste of ics i refused to put anything else on here. once the data issue were ironed out its been my daily driver. i keep an apk backup of all my apps on my now unused 16gb card so thats how ive been circumventing using titanium backup. really missing batch restore though lol.
[Nexus S Android Development] ahqball:
Considering how quickly b6 is going to hit the interwebs, I think I'll hold off from flashing b5 now.
