Thank you, we too can't wait for the time and progress to continue ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dragonash:
nice read! Sounds like a group who cares. It's rough using projects that get abandoned
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wolfman87:
Awesome! Thanks and we are looking forward to it :D

Not sure if anyone else is having this problem, but my dialer seems to fail when typing in a number (fine when I tap a contact). The app goes back to the home screen and is retrievable/closable in recent apps but it won't dial, sits in the background, and also seems to freeze the homescreen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dragonash:
try going into apps> phone (also Phone/messaging) and clearing all data

reboot after and see what happens
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wolfman87:
Will do, thanks!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jjhiza:
Hey guys! Just a little something for you to play with, while we wait for Beta 2! The thread link is in my SIG banner. Hope you enjoy! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] timbck2:
I like it a lot, except for the dialer. Can you make a version with normal numbers on the dialer?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jjhiza:
It's an idea I'm kicking around. I wasn't sure about the Predator dialer initially either, but after a couple of days, I got used to it. As soon as I get set with a font I like, I'll get a zip up with an alternate dialer. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ba_hamilton:
Awesome work man. I especially like the new wifi and signal icons.

Where did you get that weather widget?

It's a UCCW skin. I've added it to OP #2 in the theme thread. Just click the Affliction banner in my sig, and scroll down to Transring3. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] decalex:
Man, I would kill for that. I have an app now that triggers a popup for Google Voice sms, but it needs ridonkulous permissions. ..and doesn't have quick reply options.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jjhiza:
Gotta +1 this. While I don't use Voice much, adding the Quick Reply option to it, as well as to Talk, would be outrageous!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dragonash:
While not promised, it sounded like beta 2 was right around the corner.

Hows the progress with it going? I cant wait to see what you guys have in store!

Update

Hello, and thank you all for great support here..!!

There is no ETA at this time unfortunately, as I'd be inclined to my words before that it's so hard for us to give ETA's and would rather not because we can't 100% be sure we'll be able to keep it and don't want to let (you) our users down on that word. Our top two developers at the moment are in two different situations. One just started a great new job and has to settle in a bit (still working ADA after work :0 ), and the other is really trying to kick a bug he caught this past week that's had him off work and his game

With that said rest assured the other members on the team are working hard on new areas to bring you all that will go over with a bang we hope!! It will come, that I can and will say. Thank you as always for being with us and AffinitySERIES.!!!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MR H3LLMAN:
Hey all!

Just wanted to pop in and introduce myself as I haven't been quite as active over here at XDA as I used to be. My name is Sean and I am Purian's themeing and creative design counterpart for Android Developer Alliance. Some of you may already know me, some of you may not. But I look forward to talking with all y'all and want to let people know I keep an open GTalk and Twitter door open if anyone ever needs anything. Please feel free to contact me via GTalk/E-mail at mrh3llman@gmail.com and Twitter via @MR_H3LLMAN. I also have my G+ account linked in my profile. I look forward to hearing from you guys!

MR H3LLMAN
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] purian23:
Thank you Sean, they will see great things from you as I have already :) Very nice intro back on XDA..!!!

The users here have been stand out to say the least!

Many thanks to XDA and the folks over here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] purian23:
Hello,

Sorry for the confusion, a few of my screenshots were done using Nova Prime, highly reccommend from the play store. It has tons of really cool features.

Thank you,

That's a gapp issue.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kylem:
Do you know which package we should run for the sync?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Xfanatic:
*Disclaimer* You should try to always use the Gapps package that the ROM devs recommend just to avoid any possible issues.

With that said, try this.

Been pretty quiet in here... any new updated info on status of this project. Not rushing anyone just curious.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] melp57:
Looks to me that it has died, I moved on to Black-bean rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jjhiza:
Being proactive, and checking other forums besides Xda might be helpful...just a thought. Moving on is certainly your prerogative, if your itch to flash isn't being scratched by this ROM, but it IS still being worked on. All good things to those who wait...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] purian23:
ROM Update

We are still here 100% guys, I assure you that. Here is a note from our top dev.

Blueharford: We're going to make the next one worth the wait. Got a few things being developed atm, we're not just gonna add new features from other roms and the release only. In investigation we found some flaws in previous commits of features that is making future development a pain, so we're working on it all now. And it's just Mike and I which both work full time. We've had to clean shop lately to make sure we stay on track hence if you've noticed developers that were on the team and are no longer. But like I promised before it will be worth the wait.

Thank you all sincerely, we will prevail :)

Purian23
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jjhiza:
I'll check and see. I think I have a better one on my SGT. If not, I'll try to find the site I downloaded it from, and I'll post a link for you. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dragonash:
actually, since they have a site, the only other place to check "should" be here http://www.androiddeveloperalliance.org/

Thats the whole point of having a website, so you DONT have to hop all around looking for updated info.

Not a knock to the devs, just stating obvious stuff :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jjhiza:
That's true. I wasn't trying to be mean...just offering another avenue for people to pursue. This thread (being the Xda one) is super slow, in terms of users dropping in and posting. Most users on this site seem to be either PA, AOKP, or CM fanboys/girls, so they tend to ignore lesser known (read: less flashy) ROM threads like this. It's their loss really, because this ROM and the team associated with it, are top notch.

I guess my point was that, if anyone's looking for additional community feedback, most of the users, and all of the devs, are most active on Rootz. The community there is great, and someone's always around to lend a helping hand or provide timely feedback. Hope to see you over there! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ba_hamilton:
jjhiza - nice uccw skin. I practically lived on that thread when that app was new making skins and weather sets. Got burned out and haven't looked at the app in months until now. Lots of improvements have been done to it.

I don't mind waiting for as long as it takes for the next version of this rom to come out. My days of flashing a new rom every 2 or 3 days are over. I'm sticking with this one for a long time.

I have flashed custom soft keys found here. I like them a lot.

I tried flashing the s3 touchwiz launcher found here It's a nice launcher with some cool features but it wasn't for me and I removed it after several days.

A nice theme I'm currently running is Elegant Dusk It's a dark(ish) theme and looks nice.

Edit: Another cool hack. The Nexus 7 boot animation. The blue version is super cool. It's not a flashable zip. You have to put the zip file in the data/local directory and rename the file and change the file permissions.

I offer these as a suggestion for those looking to apply a little customization while waiting for the next version to drop.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 00negative:
The lte toggle doesn't seem to work for me, won't turn off. Anyone else?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dragonash:
now we have 4.1.2 out for AOSP.

I'm sure this will hold up a new release as it will most likely get incorporated into the current build :)

http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/09/...e-gives-nexus-7-owners-landscape-home-screen/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jjhiza:
From what I understand, the benefits seems to be minimal (at least from the Nexus point of view). I would venture to say that forum development (both on Xda and Rootz) has far outpaced whatever performance "enhancements" Google has made. Mind you, these changes are intended to improve the stock system; that means enhancing a device with no Affinity, no Trinity, Franco, or GLaDOS...on the whole, I seriously doubt we (Nexus root users) will reap many benefits from this update. Where we're going to see massive improvements is when Key Lime Pie comes out, and features the new code (I'm forgetting the project name...Roadrunner maybe?), designed to drastically improve power usage/battery life.

As a result, I would still expect the new Beta to drop on time (whenever the team decides), and without any delays, related to the new OS version. I don't know much about coding, but I can't imagine that integrating the new code would take much more than a couple of days at most. I'm sure everything will be fine. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kl323:
Known issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jjhiza:
What's a "known issue"? Not trying to be rude, but your post isn't clear at all...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kl323:
Whoops sorry, was using Tapatalk. Thought I quoted the post I was replying to.

The LTE button isn't working is a known issue from pages ago.

Sorry for the confusion. Love this rom nonetheless. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] purian23:
Thank you guys and jjhiza, yes it does seem a little minimal, and as long as we can utilize this for the nexus itself it should surely make it into the next release. Very good explanations though, we always love your feedback and help in here!

Thank you for posting, and yessir that was an confirmed issue with Beta1 and already resolved in Beta2, thank you again !

Purian23
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jjhiza:
^I toyed around with a stock, rooted 4.1.2 build the other day, and it was decent. I noticed improvements in scrolling and transition smoothness, versus stock 4.1 and 4.1.1. AffinirySERIES + Trinity is just as smooth for me honestly, but I'm sure people will be clamoring for the latest changes to be merged. The problem is (as far as I see it) 4.1.2 isn't necessarily optimized for the Nexus yet...it was rolled out for the N7, which means we don't have binaries and such yet.

The one finger notification expansion is nice, but it seems a bit clunky to me. Now, each notification requires a long press to activate the expansion/collapse feature, and sometimes I ended up not activating it, which frustrated me a bit. It's a great idea, but I think it needs a bit of work.

Just my two cents on the latest changes. Hopefully they're helpful. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jss2:
actually, there are already new binaries posted for 4.1.2 for the Verizon Galaxy Nexus.

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/drivers#torojzo54k
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jjhiza:
Sweet!!! That changes things a lot!! I was surprised when I saw that CM had merged the new features...the presence of binaries is probably why. Good find. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kylem:
Tap...tap....pffffffff...tap...

Is this thing on?

Just feels dead, that's all. Loved the rom, though it has started to feel like a lot of lip service. I jumped ship but would be back if and when simple things were (4g toggle, etc.) fixed. Beta 2 has been spoke of, I've never seen it. A lot has been said about the greatness of this ROM and I agree wholeheartedly. Just need to see the next installment. I appreciate the thankless work of the devs. Keep it alive!

No complaints here just spewing with my IPA friend.

Any eta guys? Really getting excited for the bug fixes and new features.. lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jjhiza:
No ETA, but the team is actively working to get the new build to us ASAP! :D

Just wanted to repost this as well. It's Purian's message from the Rootz thread the other day:

Hey guys, just wanted to catch up a little bit here on the last few pages. One thing it shows certainly is that ADA matters to our users which we truly appreciate first and foremost. Next at first we didn't orginally intend our next release to take as long as it has now, but to answer some of your questions, it is true that every single member on our team has full time employment, some married and fathers to our little ones!

That certainly has played a role in our ADA progress, but mark my words my friends, we're still here, we're still going strong! When the announcement of 4.1.2 came out, we did make some decsions to change up a few key parts we have in store for you all to come in the best way!!! Our beta 2 will not disappoint and will lead strong!! As some of you have said and thank you for understanding some of the progressions here, jjhiza said it very correctly when he stated that our approach was never meant to become a nightly or even weekly release. We want to put in some significant updates and it's just simply something that doesn't need done as frequently as nightlies, and every other day updates. One of the largest goals we keep in mind is speed, stability and battery life, it is our hope that we can cure that need to flash your phones daily to something new, but instead actually take the time to enjoy your device and all the great features it has to offer you packed with AffinitySERIES by Android Developer Alliance :x)

Thank you sincerly,

Purian23
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] purian23:
Thank you sir :)

To that same message, every part is true, and we have some more awesomeness to follow. Thank you all who are here with us!

Purian23
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kylem:
I'm starting to think no one's here with you...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jjhiza:
There are plenty of people still using Affinity. Some are simply toying around with other ROMs, while waiting for the next release. Honestly though...if you really want to be up to speed on ROM progress, you should bookmark the RootzWiki thread. All of us are active in that thread, on a daily basis. This thread is slow, because dare I say, many people on Xda are AOKP, PA, or CNA fanboys, and don't particularly appreciate a great AOSP ROM when they see it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] timbck2:
Also it says a lot that there isn't a lot to talk about Affinity - the beta is stable and fast, so there's nothing for ppl to complain about.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] purian23:
msrfx:

Hey Everyone,

Here is a quick update on where we are are at. We have a number of changes that are not yet available on github at this time, and we are working on merging 4.1.2. At this time I would say we could be looking at a release in early November. Blueharford and I are the only developers working on the ROM and we both have full time jobs and families so bear with us. As we said before, the wait will be worth it. With Android 4.2 around the corner these are exciting times; If the source for 4.2 drops before we release our 4.1.2 based build, we may delay release a few days to give you all 4.2, Affinity style! For those of you that inquired about the S3 support, that is currently on hold to give our Nexus users a treat sooner rather than later. So hang tight folks, and thanks for all your support!

P.S. There are other products in the works that we have been worked on in parallel with the ROM that you all might be getting a taste of sooner that will complement your current AffinitySERIES installation...stay tuned :)

Purian23

Thank you msrfx! As myself and my team has always said, we have a different approach on everything we do here. This is why I have made it a personal goal to keep you up to date, but life with our jobs and families must come first to us, and then we put everything into where our passion is for you all. Also to note how fast Google has been pushing out updates, we want to have you all up to date. One more reason I am happy one of our developers was able to help fill in the gaps here too.

Like he said, we're not even close to done here, it's still the very beginning for us. Lastly to his P.S. please do stay tuned :)

As always thank you from the entire Android Developer Alliance Staff,
