[Xoom General] xxspark89xx:
The problem is, and always will be - you can never set a solid release date for software upgrades when it comes to this 'chain' that the update must go through in order to be released to us.

From a manufacturer and carrier standpoint, they could never give even the slightest hint of a date for a software release until its imminently close. Reason being, there are so many variables and factors affecting a particular update. If they gave any sort of date other than "soon", then if they missed that date that everyone was expecting - customers would blow a gasket.

So essentially, from their standpoint, it is MUCH safer to keep from giving any sort of date of release.

Bottom Line: An official ICS update should be coming sometime soon. Speculation says the U.S. Wifi-only XOOM will be the first, and then others will soon follow. That is the most we know at this point.

So pull up a chair, grab a beer, and join the rest of us as we compulsively surf these android forums every day for the next piece of news to come forward. :)
[Xoom General] hchxoom:
I had some good guidance (some nice, some not so nice) when I first started using xda, so glad to pass it along. The best was not to start a new thread except as a last resort - most questions are already asked and answered somewhere, and if not there is a likely an existing thread/discussion in which the question fits. For the most part, xda members aren't jerks and are extremely helpful... but the frustration factor rises quickly when the same questions are asked and answered repeatedly. As you'll probably be told at some time, it is a developers forum not really a users forum... they've just chosen to let us in (because we help test what they're dev'ing).

One more suggestion - be more careful with your topic titles. I opened the thread to read assuming you were posting some official announcement... and would bet most others did, too. Be more clear with the title and you increase the odds that you'll get readers that can/will help.

BTW, I'm still getting used to the xda search function (a bit cumbersome, works best in my opinion searching within a subforum), and often prefer a Google search myself. If you add "xda" to your Google search terms, you'll often find what you need.
[Xoom General] P00r:
I understand your concern, the more they wait the less we can play with our toy until that other date (ya know, 23/12/2012)
[Xoom General] arrtoodeetoo:
I'll give you a real answer. No body knows.

It seems like the last few updates were dropped with no prior warning. I assume ICS will be a different situation and they would at least give a little heads up (or so I would hope.) If you have a 4G VZW XOOM, expect to wait another month so Verizon can tinker around with it first.

Or, if you want it now, just go to the dev section and flash the wonderful EOS ROM. It takes all of 15 minutes to do if you're already rooted. In fact, I spent more time downloading the files than I did actually flashing the recovery and the ROM + a few bits and pieces that make it work. It's well worth it.

Hope this answers your question.
[Xoom General] natekinkead:
After getting dragged along month-to-month waiting for an official Android update with previous devices, I've come to the personal conclusion that I'll never wait for an official Android update ever again. The custom ROMs from these forums are always better and are always available far in advance of any official release.

You may want to give this a try. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1400958&page=82

Team EOS (formerly Team Tiamat) has proved to be one of the elite Android dev teams in my opinion and are worth following because they always have something new to try out.
[Xoom General] akshunj:
Typically, the update will come in waves and there will be a leak to the blogs a few days before...
[Xoom General] jaekidd1012:
Kudos to the people who took the OP and his question seriously. There's no justification for being a d*** to someone who probably isn't familiar with all of the ins and outs of XDA. Come on now... ;)

Anyway, you can watch paint dry in way less time than a carrier or OEM will deliver an official Android version update to their devices (assuming you're using something other than a Nexus device) so custom ROMs are definitely the way to go. It is not uncommon for devs here to release official ROMs before the carriers/OEMs LOL! To that end, check out one of the ICS ROMs from Team EOS in the Xoom development section. Root your Xoom if you haven't done so already, flash one of their ICS ROMs and enjoy :). The devs here on XDA are good for releasing ROMs and updates in a timely manner.

works fantastic .

I'm having an unusual trouble...

Normally when I get a new Android phone, I just have to set the Locale settings and everything works ok.

Now, with the GN (it's not officially sold in Brazil, where I'm from) I can´t chance a few options.

One is causing me a lot of trouble, because when someone calls me, the format that is listes in the recent calls tab wont let me return the call.

when someone call me it get listed as (21) 9999-9999. If I try to call the number like that, my provider won.t let me...

It should be (021) 9999-9999 or 219999-9999

Can someone help me??

[Nexus S General] madd0g:
They need to restructure the Android framework for that.
[Nexus S General] DannyDroid:
Am I missing something here?

Yes, Android is based of Linux the kernels are not the same. Android forked the Linux Kernel in 2009 when some of Androids "code" wasn't approved to become part of the mainline.

With Linux Kernel 3.3 the gap between the Android Kernel and Linux Kernel will be getting smaller but you simply can't just switch them both.

Unless your just talking about booting Ubuntu on your Nexus S or something? Aha.
[Nexus S General] LancerEVA06:
You can still build a 3.2 Linux kernel for Android.
[Nexus S General] Shark_On_Land:
So everything that runs Linux will be faster?

Hi guys, I've run into the same problem but still can't get to remove the lock..

mine is as follow:

then it asks to "confirm saved pattern"

then i have: none (grayed out), slide(grayed out), face unlock(grayed out), pattern, PIN, password

If i choose pattern again, it will ask me to draw a new pattern and it comes back to the same.

the grayed out options are written "disabled by administrator, encryption policy or credential storage".

You would likely have trusted credentials set up because of a VPN or Microsoft Exchange account. In which case, you'll have to clear the trusted credentials first before none becomes available as an option. Do note that your VPN or Exchange account would be erased when you clear trusted credentials.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simanh:
I had this problem a few days ago, couldn't use the simple unlock screen, the option was greyed out. Happened after allowing the Seekdroid app to function as an administrator I think, or could have been after adding my college (wpa2 enterprise) wifi network either.

I stumbled upon a proper fix though today, instead of just deleting the credential storage.

Go to:

-settings

-profiles

-select a profile and click the settings icon beside it

- at the bottom of the list there is an option "lock screen mode"

-change it to "use insecure lock screen"

*there is also the option to disable the lock screen entirely

This worked for me anyway, the simple swipe unlock is now default.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marcopoloy13:
I had the same problem, but I found a solution.

The one with the profile option does not work for me, because I do not have this option.

I just chose Pattern , turned off the screen, turned it back on and clicked on Forgot in the right down corner. After I gave in my Google passswort it changes automatically back to slide.

In the settings the option none it still grayed out but its selected anywhere and it works.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zigot:
silly little thing ICS

just managed to resolve this on my S3 after an hour-two of getting nowhere.

this was the problem:

- encrypted the phone

- after encrypting the device I did not like the lack of convenience the enforced PW unlock offered (sorry, I know it is the most secure way, but no friggin way I am going to type in a PW into my phone 50x a day...already doing this 500x at work, so.....no!)

- decrypted the phone and could not get any other unlock method to activate... not even after clearing the admin controls and credentials

and these are the steps I took to resolve it:

- found an old SD card and installed it

- encrypted the SD card

- decrypted the SD card

- made sure phone is decrypted again

- voila! unlock options became available again

Went to profiles -> Clicked "Settings" icon next to Default (selected) profile -> tapped "Lock screen mode" -> Chose "Insecure".

Still no option to remove the lock screen (ie None, Slide and Face Unlock still grayed out)

I use VPN and have credentials stored, I would not wish to lose this, but would still like to have a simple lock screen instead of lock pattern.

Can I use "Slide" lock AND still have the VPN credentials stored? Is there some way to force this?

Hi Manoo,

Thanks for sharing, always good to see addons, tweaks and new ROMs.

Nevertheless, some questions:

Isn't this just a set of apk's? Why use the whole RC7u1 script for this?

Also, what did you change in the following components (they are all different than the ones included in RC7u1):

boot.img

superuser.apk

su

I don't think any of these new apk's need other boot.img, superuser or su, right?

Regards,

Nika.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] broodplank1337:
Idd, I think nikagl is right, what does boot.img and su.apk do there?

Also you should do the following stuff to make this post more attractive:

1. Add tags [ADDON] or [MOD] to the title. like: [ADDON][CRANIUM] - Manoo's addon for Cranium v7 -

2. Use some formatting for your post, like this:
