[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
SOAB, I had typed a really long post only to find out that Tapatalk errors me out saying "You do not have permission to post on this" Dafuq I own the thread >;( There goes 30mins worth typing, anyways atleast I remembered what I wanted to write down.

So basically there's good news and bad news. Let's start it off with the Good news, The good news is that i'll be releasing another build soon. Took some time, sat down and fixed most of what needed to be worked on. While I'm at it I would like to add that this will be a series of updates as 4.3 has alot of changes and it's best we tackle them one at a time, hopefully as it's assumed for the better and feedback is something that's easier with a mass.

Bad news? Most of you already know it, The Nexus 4 side has it's issues cleared up and will be getting it's release on Sunday/Saturday depending on your timezone, while this is good for them, the same cannot be said about the GNexus for obvious reasons, and for that it may take up to 3-5 days before it's out. This is due to mixer path xml being the core file for DSP's and they are completely different between Nexus devices due to hardware limitations, the other being software limitations due to the N4 having alot of the goodies while the big G has held back some for the GNexus, while I hope to bring over to the GNexus side to try and balance them out, but again, this requires testing and patience :), and lastly the most obvious reason, the device, the major delay falls on this as I would tend to be in a rush with the time I'm permitted to borrow my ex's phone before "issues" take place, I would tend to overlook alot of things that normally some of you may or may not notice.

And so I've decided to do a beta test opt, I had done this on the N4 and would like to do the same here, it would be grand if someone would create a Google Doc, public so people can enter in their details for those who would like to opt in for the testing phases. Kindly keep in mind that doing so you are unable to share the links provided via personal means as releasing it to the public, halfbaked is like a death wish. And so the following below are few guidelines before opting in.

- Kindly avoid sharing the test builds

- Must be on 4.3 ROM*

- Must be updated with latest bootloader, kernel & radio

- Must be on either JWR66V or JSS15J ROM's

- First 30 applicant's only*

The reason I placed a * on #2 is due to the fact that some ROM's are hybrid, while most of you maybe unaware of this, this may cause issues as the MOD's core files in lib/hw are based off 4.3 and so are the media_codecs which would just go haywire on 4.2.2 systems. This is bad juju. The other being placed on #5 is due to the fact that a smaller crowd is easier to control and feedback is assured atleast by 60%.

Another thing that I am completely unaware of is the JSS15J build for GNexus, as I am aware that only the new N7 and N4 (N4 had it by an accident) are the only devices that managed to get the source packs, so I am unsure if the JSS15J builds for GNexus are official from code aurora or ported from the mother sources? If anyone is aware and can shed some light on that, would be much appreciated :)

Lastly, for those of you who wish to donate, any amount is appreciated as it all goes for the same cause. I know most of you won't understand the difficulty it is to work on a device without the actual device, but it's a whole different level of playing safe and bricking your device if you're not careful with what you change, esp on a core level. I'll probably be setting the deadline to the upcoming Tuesday to place the order based on what I can find ,as next week alot of events are taking place that I can't seem to escape from, and before that happens, I'd like to finish what is required and get it properly tested before releasing it to public. I'll be turning 24 by next week and my folks as much as possible would like me to be away from keyboard for once and just relax and celebrate my day without any uni pressure, phew! As if I didn't get enough of that from my gf LOL

Again, thanks for reading and stay tuned!
