Hey,

next features/services in my queue:

box.net

sugarsync

I'll have a look at those two amazon services, too.

For the folder choose option on dropbox: dropbox offers two types of access for an external app. FULL access and APP access. When i request FULL access i can read all of your data and do whatever it want with it. I'm sure most users would not want that. the APP access gives the app access to a "private" folder under the "Apps" folder in your dropbox. I think that is the better solution for dropbox.

I think your thinking of "autostarts" with an "s". This allows a script to be loaded on boot.

I did download it & did whatever was told now i hve android 2.2 but my apps dont save on sd card. Can any1 guide & say wht wrong i m doing
[Milestone XT720 General] brianlili:
There are many ways to install apps in sdcard, but you need to tweak it by yourself if you use a stock rom(if cbw say so). the position of stock android 2.2 installing apps is decide by the app itself, that means, it is decide by it's developer.

App2ext is a good option to meet your needs.
[Milestone XT720 General] akshata_khan:
So if i install the app in i.e. app2sd from the market after flashing with this firmware m i good to go???
[Milestone XT720 General] akshata_khan:
got u man. Thank a lot. I didnt knew i had to go to Settings-> Applications->Move to sd. I have dne it thanka lot.
[Milestone XT720 General] jp23:
or you can try it with the link2sd application
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] cokratex:
I know that tethering is not working in the GB custom roms, but why? Is it hard to get it to work or do devs just don't find it necessary? I use tether app from market and it is working fine, I'm just curious.

Does someone know why there is no national roaming on Oxygen and MIUI? I used to have Oxygen and liked it, but I cannot have it since they removed it. It would be really nice if they could ad it to custom roms. CM7 have it and it is a really good rom but I would like to try different ones.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
Stockwell said he is going to test tethering in his next MIUI release. Wait for it.

About roaming, I don't know about that.

Ok, thanks for the information, will try it when arrives.
[Nexus S General] chester04:
Google has confirmed that it will update the existing Nexus S handset to new Ice Cream Sandwich Android software in the next few weeks, but has also said that its original Nexus One is ‘too old’ for the upgrade.

Google’s Hugo Barra confirmed that the latest version of Android will be delivered as a free upgrade to the existing Nexus S handset “within weeks”. He said the search giant was aiming to get the software to owners of the previous flagship phone shortly after the release of the new Galaxy Nexus handset next month, well in time for Christmas.

Owners of the first official Google phone, the Nexus One, will not be getting the upgrade, however. Barra said the hardware was simply too old to run the new operating system.

Google launched the Nexus One, which was made by HTC, in January 2010, and closed the phone’s support forum on 1 November last year. Some fans, however, had hoped that aspects of the latest version of the Android software would still be compatible with the phone.

Barra also responded to Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer’s attacks on Android phones. He had said that users “needed a computer science degree” to use Android.

Barra retorted that “Android, especially this new version 4.0, is an incredibly intuitive platform – the best one we’ve ever built. There are power user features, but there is no need for an instruction manual or a computer science degree”, he said.

Barra added that criticisms in some reviews about slowness of the operating system were based on one faulty device at the launch event in Hong Kong. Barra said the new Galaxy Nexus offered 60 frames per second and was “buttersilk smooth”.

“The operating system is thought through with the needs of the next three years in mind; it’s a wholesale revamp of the way people interact with the phone,” he said. “It’s something we’ve designed for the masses; it continues to cater for power users really well but the entry level users will be able to use it really well too and make the phone their own.”

Already running ICS on the Nexus S, but can't wait for an official version where everything works perfectly. ICS is sooo good!
[Nexus S General] Windst:
Steve would know, as he is a developer with a science degree. He loves his company.
[Nexus S General] tekkitan:
I think Steve equates common sense to a computer science degree. I should have a phD!
[Nexus S General] lvnatic:
So its within weeks or in time for christmass? Cause the difference is quite big.
[Nexus S General] strifejester:
It's within weeks of the Galaxy Nexus launch. Which is early/mid November then a few weeks which still makes it by xmas. I am guessing the first week of December my NS4G will get ICS.
[Nexus S General] droidjens:
There's less than 2 months till cristmas anyways, so any release before that is counted in weeks, not months (plural).

I'm also guessing first week of December.
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
I can't wait for ICS. I'm particularly excited about the improved browser that will sync with Chrome.

The current stock browser is utterly stupid. Actually, can someone explain to me why the Bookmark tab organizes my bookmarks by order of most visited when there's already a "most visited" tab? What's the difference?
[Nexus S General] AtomicPC:
Just be patient guys!
[Nexus S General] bozzykid:
Your most recently used bookmarks are at the top. It makes perfect sense to me. I like this behavior. Without the ability to make folders, it's a good way to present it to the user.

Been using ICS through a ROM and man do I love it. I'm impressed by ICS and how smooth and nice looking things are, I'm using an ICS ROM built from the SDK and can't wait for an actual source ROM.

Omg face unlock is the only thing you need? :O

I want hardware acceleration finally! And I also cant wait for USB devices support in emulators
[Nexus S General] strifejester:
Hardware acceleration is going to be great. Hopefully motorola gets it in the x2 soon and the xoom. Can't wait to try it out in a tablet.
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
Will face unlock work with the Nexus S when ICS comes to it, or is that a hardware-related feature that will only work with the new Galaxy Nexus?

I made a thread to ask this question, but the moderators insist that questions must be banished to the Q&A section where no one will read or respond.
[Nexus S General] koolkid09:
I believe it's apart of the OS. So any phone with a front facing camera and ICS will be able to use the feature.
[Nexus S General] newspeak:
Yes it will ...its a software thing ....well as long as the hardware can support it which the nexus s and most phones can ...opera mobile for instance is already hardware accelerated
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
Thanks for answering. Awesome.

Gingerbread on the N1 seemed to take FOREVER. Hope it's not that long.
[Nexus S General] amasunka:
After running some of the ICS Betas it's sad to go back to Gingerbread. Can't wait until ICS OTA comes out! It's so god damn good!
[Nexus S General] hulkamaphone:
I totally agree, I don't have any ICS roms but even playing around with the slow and laggy 4.0 virtual device in the SDK is enough for me to really want it!! It's funny, I start working on an app but once I jump into the emulator to test it, I spend the next 20 min playing around with the folders/widgets/menu in ICS. It is so nice, Google have done a great job.

It is hard to wait though, knowing that it's not too far away, and seeing how cool the new UI is. The new changes will mean I wont be using LauncherProPlus for the first time in 2 years!
[Nexus S General] donsh00tmesanta:
Same here!!!! No Launcher Pro Plus for me in ICS!!!! I didnt even use go sms or k9mail in the ICS roms either

I wonder if the developer section will be in the final OTA
[Nexus S General] kibmcz:
This is all great news but i wonder if the now discontinued android kitchen script will work on ics to enable root (i know deodex wont work due to format change).
[Nexus S General] thephantom:
i'm thinking, with the ics update, would our phone have the capacity to record the 720p video? i'm thinking that is software related as when i had my galaxy ace before and the os was upgraded, video recording was also better. i read somewhere that ics uses 720p as the 'native' for video.
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
How many are Tmobile users with their Nexus S?

Anyone planning to upgrade to Galaxy Nexus? Will the European version, or just an unlocked version from Verizon work with Tmobile if you just slide a SIM card in there? Would it still have Tmo's 3G or even HSPA+ speeds?

Or is it something like an unlocked iPhone which lacks 3G support and is stuck on EDGE?

I'm going to wait to see how ICS is on my Nexus S before I decide, but I'm just wondering in case I do go with the Galaxy Nexus. Anyone else?
[Nexus S General] CarlosCalderon:
I'm so excited to get ICS....

The betas are very nice :D
[Nexus S General] blizzake:
Galaxy Nexus launch date confirmed for the 17th :D source soon yay!
[Nexus S General] oldblue910:
Weeks huh? Color me skeptical. "In a few weeks" is Google's corporate-mandated standard response to everything involving a release date. Let us examine:

1. On February 22, 2011, Google announced Android 2.3.3 for the Nexus S and claimed that the update would take "a few weeks" to roll out. They stopped pushing the update without a word, leaving many of us stranded on 2.3.1 and 2.3.2, lied about it on 3/15/2011 (after people started noticing that nobody seemed to be getting the update anymore), and then officially acknowledged it in the official 2.3.4 announcement.

2. When the Nexus S first came out in the middle of December, 2010, Google promised Gingerbread on the Nexus One "in the coming weeks". The Nexus One finally got Gingerbread toward the end of February, 2011.

Not a good track record so far. I predeict the Nexus S won't even sniff ICS until February.
[Nexus S General] BrianDigital:
What I dont get if the release of thr galaxy nexus is soon why not drop source. If your due for a contract upgrade or buying the phone out right what does it matter if the small percentage of us get to run ics now and get to spread the word of the improvements
[Nexus S General] nickmv:
I can't believe this is STILL being rehashed. Seriously though, for the 10,000th time, THE HARDWARE DOES NOT SUPPORT 720p. DOES. NOT.

---------- Post added at 11:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:56 AM ----------

This is DEAD-ON. Unless Google's changed from lying about updates, causing seemingly absurd delays for no reason, etc, and measuring months as "weeks", then we're getting ICS February or later.
[Nexus S General] Windst:
For those of you who want Face Unlock on the Nexus S, download an app called Visoden. I've been using it for a few months to lock my phone and to keep employees and friends from getting into my mom's and gallery also.

It works quite well
[Nexus S General] nickmv:
You sure you got the name of that thing right?

I can't find even a trace of this program on the web.

EDIT: It's called Visidon.

Also, I feel like there's gonna be a huge number of people complaining to Google that they're locked out of their phone when they shaved their beard, when this ICS version comes.
[Nexus S General] koolkid09:
Thats what the backup password is for.
[Nexus S General] nickmv:
Ahh but if only there WEREN'T one. The results would be hilarious, to say the least.

"Man, I shaved off the handlebars and now I can't login!"
[Nexus S General] 063_XOBX:
That would be more of an iPhone since I'm yet to see a Hipster with an android.
[Nexus S General] arifhn:
I dont think nexus s will get official update 'in weeks'

maybe we can hope for custom rom as soon as the source code released
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
It'd be nice if Google could aim for Xmas for their Nexus updates. That's what I'm hoping they mean by "a few weeks." I'm hoping they're more prepared for the roll out than they were previously.

Is there actually any explanation as to why it took them so long to roll out Gingerbread to the Nexus One? Was it intentional--to help with Nexus S sale? Or was it more of a programming thing, ie., it wasn't ready yet for the previous phone?

Awesome app.... thanks

N1 got delayed, because they had bugs on NS GB .1 and .2, so they wanted to fix it before they pushed it to another device.
[Nexus S General] Esteway.619:
I don't see why it would take so long. The video with the nexus s running ICS was an official build just that Google locked that dudes phone out. So they had it running on a nexus I don't see why it would take long.
[Nexus S General] nolook:
i sure hope it doesnt take too long its one on the main reasons i just bought the nexus s

I run the original 2.3/GRH55 ROM as my daily driver. Seems to be fine for me! :)
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
Nexus One got 2.3 from Cyanogen way before they got it from Google :)
[Nexus S General] kibmcz:
In light of a possible delay (I hope for none) there is still something positive to think about... using the modaco leaked galaxy nexus dev rom i ran it through the deprecated android kitchen and it seemed to not reject it (dev rom was not odexed fyi).

Now booting is a whole different story but ill test that when i get the ota.
[Nexus S General] RsurNexusS:
wow thats very nice, can i download the manual update of ics straight from android 2.3.3 on nexus s?
[Nexus S General] nazimster:
Like ICS
[Nexus S General] kibmcz:
You will be able to when it comes out lol... My test was just using a leaked rom for diff phone :)
[Nexus S General] RsurNexusS:
Upgrade

Good to know!!Im a bit behind n running nexus s on 2.3.3, can i install ics manual update straight from 2.3.3 in the future?

Thanks
[Nexus S General] kibmcz:
If a full zip comes out yes.. if one doesn't (there probably will be one) you just gotta flash the 2.3.6 full zip (worth doing anyway while you wait) then ota up to 4.0.
[Nexus S General] SupaDupaFly24:

[Nexus S General] Kayatoast:
Just to answer your question, the European version(unlocked) will work on t mobile with hspa+ but not on AT&T. T mobile uses the 3G bands that the rest of the world uses. AT&T does not.
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
I'm on Tmobile and I will most likely pass on this one, for a number of reasons. The two main ones are 1) finances and 2) I think ICS will suffice on the Nexus S (that's what I'm most excited about anyway).

Not to jump the gun, but I'm also eager to see where the "Nexus 4" will go. I wonder if Google will look to Motorola to design it next...
[Nexus S General] thiagodark:
Are you sure? I used to think it is quite opposite... and besides, i guess gn will work in both 3g freq (1900 and 2100)
[Nexus S General] benrees21:
Unfortunately I got a 2-year contract for my NS and so I can't upgrade till December 2012, which puts me out of getting a G.Nexus. To be honest I'm not too mad about it as I know I'm getting ICS and that's what I'm really excited about. I'm seeing the Nexus 4 as a massive leap forward, not just in terms of Android (Jelly Bean) but also as in hardware. I am really hoping Motorola get to make it as I am a fan of their design (Not Motoblur, obviously!) and I'm quite tired of the Samsung design. Anyway I hope all that get a G.Nexus enjoy it and let's see what next year brings us.

Companies bid on the rights to produce the nexus line, google has stated moto is no different and must win the bid if it wants to produce the next, or any nexus.

[Nexus S General] Heretic Infidel:
I just wish that we would actually get a top of the line set of specs. In other words

- Super Amoled Plus

- Tegra 3 (Kal-El)

- 64gig expansion slot etc

These are development phones after all, from Le Goog themselves so build them that way...
[Nexus S General] bozzykid:
And with the scrutiny on the Motorola Mobility deal, I would be surprised if they let Motorola get the next Nexus. The only way I see that happening is if they have more than one Nexus and Motorola is one of several device makers.
[Nexus S General] LordLugard:
Actually not so kosher. Rest of the world (that) uses 2100, for both uplink and downlink. Tmo uses 1700 for uplink and 2100 for downlink, hence AWS band IV.

ICS was in development for a long time. They probably choose the chipset a while ago. Plus both the NS and GN use the same GPU, easier to develop for both.

Well, the issue isn't just cramming bleeding edge hardware in there, they also need to keep the price in the three digits to actually be able to sell enough of them.
[Nexus S General] mircea_novac:
I really hope that they provide us with the upgrade before the end of the year.
[Nexus S General] benrees21:
Doubt it. It's every November/December. I think because they have to pick which company is going to make it and then they have to do product development and it all takes a long long time + they probably don't start thinking about a new Nexus till March/April.

Building for devices

This page complements the main page about Building with information that is specific to individual devices.

The only supported phone with the current release is the GSM/HSPA+ Galaxy Nexus, a.k.a. "maguro". GSM/HSPA+ Galaxy Nexus is currently the recommended device to use with the Android Open-Source Project.

In addition, PandaBoard a.k.a. "panda" is supported in the master branch only, but is currently considered experimental. The specific details to use a PandaBoard with the Android Open-Source Project are in the file device/ti/panda/README in the source tree.

Nexus S, a.k.a. "crespo", and Nexus S 4G, a.k.a. "crespo4g", are supported with gingerbread, but can't currently be used with newer versions of the Android Open-Source Project.

Nexus One a.k.a. "passion" is obsolete, was experimental in gingerbread and unsupported, and can't be used with newer versions of the Android Open-Source Project.

Android Developer Phones (ADP1 and ADP2, a.k.a. "dream" and "sapphire") are obsolete, were experimental and unsupported in froyo, and can't be used with newer versions of the Android Open-Source Project.
