[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rod3:
What about the Nexus S and the Nexus One? Granted the Nexus One is no longer officially supported, but the point is the Nexus line is more than just 2 devices.;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jjhiza:
I agree. I was just mentioning "current-gen" Nexus devices, that are 100% supported. The N1, while still a good device, has reached the end of its life cycle, and the Nexus S probably has another year-year and a half before it no longer receives any updates, and is no linger capable of running the most current OS. Overall, the Nexus line has always had a longer than average life span, simply because Google supports the devices directly...I hope that support continues, even after Google "leases" the Nexus branding to any manufacturer willing to follow the Nexus protocol. IMO, more people with Nexus devices can help with the fragmentation issue a bit, and will allow more users to truly enjoy their devices. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bozzykid:
They do have some notification bar patents pending. Open source has nothing to do with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rhed:
I still feel like Apple just outright stole the idea of the notification bar, seeing as how it makes use of the OS much more efficient.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Of course they did. It was open source too, so technically they are allowed to steal it.

I don't know how Google will sue Apple if/when they get the notification patent, because Apache license allows you to take what you will. There is no requirement to even provide source code.

Maybe someone can chime in with more knowledge on the subject than I.

Damn their "closed-source hate except for when it benefits them" philosophy...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] reuthermonkey:
They do. When things get submitted to the tree. How about you ask those coders to contribute their code to the AOSP tree so it can just get folded into the official code instead?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jjhiza:
Honestly, I'm sure a lot of devs do submit code to AOSP...at least the ones that build AOSP ROMs. Personally, I think Google had to prioritize; the first order of business was creating an engaging, fluid UI that people would enjoy using. To that I say, "mission accomplished"... ICS and now JB look and feel absolutely amazing, and are very user friendly. The second order of business seems to be addressing people's desire to personalize their devices; The (rumored) Customization Center is supposedly going to enable a wide range of native theming options, which is nice. Third would be battery life, which (again rumored) Project Roadrunner is designed to address.

If Google manage to pull this off, the overall user experience will be outstanding, but all of these things take time. I really don't think we can just submit code for, say, lockscreen weather, and expect Google to put it into their next release...they need to analyze the potential pros and cons, and determine how the feature best fits into their plans for the platform. Simply submitting code to the AOSP tree does nothing, unless Google's devs determine the addition would be worthwhile to the majority of Android users.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
The other thing is, Google will not accept code that cannot be merged into the master branch. Often times, the mods we make only work for one device and have to be modified to work with others. Thats not going to be acceptable by Google's standards.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
Google likes to keep things simple and leave the developers to do the rest cause...get this...a developer makes an app...right? They out ads in the app....AND MAGICALLY GOOGLE MAKES BILLIONS
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jjhiza:
Great point!

We were talking about ROM developers and code really...I'm not sure if Google would even accept ordinary app code. You're right about Google making money off of apps, but they only make 30% (I believe). It's still a good amount, but I think they may make more on web browser advertisement sales. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] reuthermonkey:
Most certainly. However there have been tweaks and changes folded in to the AOSP tree already thanks to contributions from developers who work on community-wide roms like CyanogenMod, etc... JBQ over on the AOSP development forum has said quite the same. If you want x,y, or z to be included in future releases of Android, then feel free to submit your code to the AOSP tree. If it doesn't work on a vast majority of Android devices flawlessly, then it won't make it to release. If it doesn't get submitted to AOSP, it doesn't have a chance of even being considered.

Hello Xoomers.

Here I am going to provide you with a simple way how to change the lock ring of your Xoom running any ROM.

Here you can find the biggest collection of lock ring icons (gathered from XDA)

384 LOCK RING icons​

I have made it easy for you guys, MDPI compatible by changing all icons resolutions to mdpi set (108x108 and 122x122) pix.

Credits and thanks: [For the amazing lock ring icons]

martintspedersen: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1770554

Pre-requisites:

Unlocked bootloader

Rooted Device

Custom Recovery

Tools required:

7zip

Description:

The attached icons are split into two sets.

- Set#1: contains 108x108 pix icons

- Set#2: contains 122x122 pix icons

The icons in each set are named from 1 - 768. Icons come in set of paris. Example: 1.png and 2.png are one set; 3.png and 4.png are one set, etc...

icons named with odd numbers represent: ic_lockscreen_handle_normal.png

icons named with even numbers represent: ic_lockscreen_handle_pressed.png

Modding / installation:

- grab /system/framework/framework-res.apk to your PC/Laptop

- choose your set of icons; choose 1 pair of your taste from the downloaded 122x122 set and the same pair from 108x108.

- rename the odd number icon as ic_lockscreen_handle_normal.png

- rename the even number icon as ic_lockscreen_handle_pressed.png

- right-click on framework-res.apk and choose 7zip / open archive

- highlight and drag your renamed icons to res\drawable-mdpi and to res\drawable-sw600dp-mdpi and replace the existing icons with the same names. 122x122 icons go in res\drawable-sw600dp-mdpi and 108x108 icons go in res\drawable-mdpi

- close the archive.

- download the attached flashable.zip and extract it.

- put your modified framework-res.apk in system\framework

- rezip the mod and put it in your Xoom SD Card.

- Boot into recovery and flash it. Don't worry about the script, it is made ready :)

I have used GalaxSim from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1846451 but still on ICS but with (custom) Omega 13.1 rom.

This isn't the first time this has happened to me. Sometimes when you try to search something it says something like "Search is not available right now". I think it is because XDA is updating the website or something but I am not sure. Here's a screenie:

The search server has crashed in such a way that it requires a rebuild of the indexes. That is rebuilding right now, and we will re-enable search once it is done. This impacts:

"Advanced Search" on forum pages

"My Participated Threads" in the Tapatalk and XDA App

It should typically take a few hours to rebuild but can be slow. I'll have search back up as soon as possible. Sorry for the inconvenience.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] memphian:
This isn't my first Android device, but it is my first nexus so I must admit that fast boot is new to me. It seems pretty straight forward although I can't seem to get into recovery recovery. I get into fast boot by pressing power plus both the volume buttons. From there the top right has a green start and I then press volume until it says start recovery in red. After hitting power, the device restarts and shows the Google screen with an unlock at the bottom but it seems to hang on this screen. Is there something I'm missing. The device can get into recovery from PA extended start menu and adb. And it seemed to do it on stock also. Am I doing something wrong?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] philippecr:

[Motorola Atrix 2] tcf38012:
Hello,

Iv'e got a question?

Would downgrading from the soak test hard-brick (white LED) or soft-brick it (fastboot)?

Thanks in advanced,

TCF38012
[Motorola Atrix 2] SeekerLoki:
Currently, you cannot FXZ from the second leak(soak test image). You will hard-brick.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Soft brick, those that have done it, have softbricked with a modified fxz that alteredlikeness and I cooked up, but with any non modified fxz it will be a hard brick for sure.

The issues that we found that caused the hard brick were the CDT.bin and the CDROM files that caused several others to not load, and caused the soft brick, so if you want to look someplace, that is where I would start.

Again one last time Please, we could have handled this through a PM, no need to create ANOTHER new thread, since this really is a dev thing, and not an everyone thing. You have all our user ids and we will answer any direct questions you have, I understand that you may not like me, but there are others.
[Motorola Atrix 2] tcf38012:
What!?

I do like you, You are a gift sent by Jesus to this community!

How could anyone hate you?
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Depends what you try to downgrade with...

I believe if you use the unmodified 2.3.5/2.3.6 fxz package you will hard brick (white led, no screen).

If you use the modified ones we have for ICS leak#1, you will soft brick (but, it's a pretty firm soft brick, stuck in fastboot). This seems to be true for ATT and HKTW.

That's understanding of it.

[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
I see by your signature, you're quite young. I'm not saying that as an insult or an implication of your limits of abilities, but as you've seen before, you need to go through the 'proper channels' around here so you will be much more well received. I understand you are being very ambitious, and that's great. However, please do just pace yourself and try not jumping the gun with your development. If you take your time, and spend some time collaborating with the established (and well respected) developers here, you will be better off in the long run. You can PM any one of the devs, or anyone else for that matter if you need help along your way. But, again, just focus on being a little less impetuous, and a lot more 'behind the curtain' -that way, when you put something out there to the community, it has been tested/modified/verified by the guys here who have dealt with this device from essentially day one of its release. This is just a suggestion, take it however you see fit...
[Motorola Atrix 2] tcf38012:
I was thinking to join to be more behind the curtains and to be part of the developer community.

And I was just parsing some cdt tables and realized that the cdt.bin version needs to be higher in order to downgrade. It's all in the cdt table:cool:. So how did this Chinese user do it is the question we need answered in order to downgrade. Did he use the rsa signature from the other file or something?
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
I just sent you a PM with information.
[Motorola Atrix 2] redeyedjedi:
I think this question is relevant to this thread, so here goes: Jim has been gracious enough to attempt to fix my softbrick because it failed to flash CDT.bin and CDROM. However, I never flashed the second leak, only scv7leak2, and from there the CM10. It was my understanding that you could use a modified FXZ to get back from this, just not the official leak #2. Is this correct, or am I wasting the Jim's time?

I would've sent a PM on this, just figured if answered here it would help others.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
You are not wasting my or any of our time.

I am pretty sure we can learn something from it. I am also 99% sure I can get you your phone back in working condition.

It is good that you posted this here, and did not pm about it, since it is relevant.
[Motorola Atrix 2] A2Trip:
I would really love to see an fxz cooked up for the leak #2. In softbrick state myself. Seen that it DOES go into fastboot...but wishes dont always come true lol.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Deivid_:
I'm in this exact situation.. I was on leak #1, and the script failed to flash cdt.bin.. any idea?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Scottyfer:

Of note is the possibility of multiple Nexus toys. Lord knows Goog needs to figure a way to get OS updates out faster, and this seems inevitable. Hopefully, Linux kernel 3.7 w/ multi-SoC support will be another big step.

The interesting thing here is the multiple mentions of the term "secure": secure transactions (via NFC), secure media streaming, secure memory, etc etc. "Secure" imply locked devices. We XDA peeps tend to equate Nexus toys with "open," and this belief may be a casualty with the upcoming wave of Nexus toys. Yes to stock Android and direct updates. No to custom ROMs?

Otherwise, Android K is reportedly another ho-hum release, mainly to beef up Goog Play stuff to better compete with the walled gardens of Apple and Amazon. Android L, where are you?
