[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ramsuresh4:
Custom Rom ICS 4.0.6

Dear All,

See my thread here for Custom Rom

My mobile is - NXG Phablet.

Its specifications match to A90.

Check - ics 4.0.6 custom rom in my thread and download.

but use your A90 ics 'boot.img'.. means, replace your 'boot.img' in the downloaded file and rezip and flash through CWM recovery.

after boot it will come in Russian language. (because it is for Star N8000 - russian forum). so change language to english in settings. also , default launcher is SPB shell - Russian version. so install another launcher and use.

Rom is very good.

check here in CUSTOM ICS area.

Hello everyone! I am working on an app that will be printing to bluetooth from an Android device, and I was wondering if the Bluetooth stack in Android 2.2 is the same as 4.1-4.2, or if its been changed. Any related information will be helpful!

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeBuck:
Yeah better profit in the 32GB one, cos the cost of the extra 16GB is pence to google but $100 (£80) to us, that means there's quite a bit of profit to get from it.

Even tho google pays under ten dollars per 16gb added.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottyd035ntknow:
The fact that there is no expandable memory really makes me want to flying crotch punch the designers of this thing in that aspect. I mean really no SD card slot? That is a pure crappy greedy money grabbing asshole thing to do on their part. Only saving grace is you can probably just use a usb stick or external drive to put all your media on but that is kind of crappy when a tablet is suppossed to be mobile and quick. Might as well get a laptop if you're going to be toting around external drives and junk.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t_007_v2:
I bet it's the profit margin on the 16g. Wallyworld wants to make some coin when they sell that n10. Googly is I like sure we can cut you in but only on the 32GB. If the cost to produce the unit is 350 and their selling it for 399 they can't cut wallyworld in without taking a shot to the groin. Think about the box it's in and the shipping to get the unit from where ever to where ever that all costs coin. But who knows what's really going on this is just my conspiracy theory.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toyeboy:
The price of this annoys me for the storage at 16gb. and the fact there is no 64gb option. with a super high resolution display, HD pictures and videos and optimized apps take up a lot more space. 16gb isn't enough 32 is barely enough. Such a high spec device needs a 64gb option,google really makes some silly decisions.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t_007_v2:
And remember it's not going to be 16 or 32 but more like 13 & 29gb. I'm going to wait it out and not rush out to the store like I did for my 249 really 269 n7 that is now 199... My N7 is depreciating faster than a new car being driven off the lot.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottyd035ntknow:
Lol how do you accidentally sell something on ebay? And good luck with the DX products... nobody wants non 4G phones anymore except maybe the D3 because it has a keyboard.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Underwater Mike:
I agree that not having a slot is FUBAR, but you need to remember Google's emphasis on cloud services, and that the Nexus devices are designed to promote those. It's not an optimal solution, buy you can pick up an OTG cable for $2 and a 32G micro flash drive for ~$20. Keep big media files (e.g., movie rips) on the flash drive. It'll work well enough.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaptorMD:
Well Apple doesn't offer expansion slots either on their devices and no one has an issue with it. There are external HDD that pair via WiFi (Kingston) and of course dongles you an use storage as well. No they are not great alternatives but they are alternatives none the less. I would rather have microSDHC or 64GB from Google but I would rather live with 32GB and sell my iPad more (which I just posted on eBay, 4 months old and saying see ya).
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottyd035ntknow:
I know about the expansion cables and whatnot... i just would rather have a SD card slot and not have to worry about a dongle hanging off. And what about those of us who travel all over the place and can't get cloud services overseas when not on wifi? Thanks alot Google... asshats... Makes me want to buy an Infinity if I didn't keep hearing about the OS issues.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pcgeek86:
I'm the same way. I don't necessarily want to fully depends on cloud services. The nexus 10 should have a lot more storage space and the nexus 7 should have had a 64GB option right off the bat.

I'm also disappointed at the lack of a SD card slot. When I'm at the gym, am I supposed to bring a USB drive and dongle in with me? Might as well just bring in my desktop computer and set up shop.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I Am Marino:
At a place like Walmart, I would think they would want to push the cheaper model, and save the expensive one for online and actual electronic stores.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rookiegenius:
well, if you intend to wait for a price drop, then good luck since it won't happen in months lol. and the more you delay buying a device, the sooner it gets outdated...

anyway, this is also why I ordered it on google play today. I don't feel like paying for the 32Gb and Walmart only has the 32Gb one..
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Croak:
There's no margin on the 16Gb ones. Google is picking up a good bit of the cost on both models. People wonder why there's a $100 difference between the two models. It's so vendors besides Google can make a profit stocking and selling them. Profit is not a dirty word, it's a necessity for a retailer.

Notice all the ruckus about T-Mobile USA and several European carriers selling the Nexus 4 for more (a lot more) than Google does? It's because Google is eating the margin for the online sales, think of it as a promotional sale rather than what MSRP should be.

In reality, the carriers are probably paying nearly what Google pays to stock a Nexus 4 (give or take a few dollars per unit in Google's favor because of volume), but they're selling it off-contract for a lot more. It's not that they're gouging, it's just that the N4 costs a fair amount, and they (unlike Google) need to make a profit on every device. And since Google doesn't feel the need to financially assist cash-rich carriers, they're not picking up part of the price like they do in direct sales.

I suspect it's not a huge profit for the carriers though, no more than they try to hold on other top-tier Android phones. So that should tell you how much Google is eating on every N4 sold through the Play store, and give you an idea what's happening with the N7 and N10 as well.

Why is Google doing this? Because they simply can't sell that many devices in the $500-$600 range. Sales for the Galaxy Nexus exploded last summer when they dropped the price to $350 off-contract...that seems to be the sweet spot. Same with tablets, they don't sell well at iPad price points even though they generally cost the same (if not more) per unit to manufacture. So Google stepped in, offset some of the price per unit on the N7 and N10, and left just enough margin on the high-capacity models to make it worthwhile for other retailers to carry.

But why is it only $50 more for the next larger size of Nexus 7, but $100 more for the Nexus 10, you ask?

It's because there's less of a price gap between cost and retail for the Nexus 7 at the price point they want to sell it at. Compared to the N10, it's made out of vastly less expensive materials, from SoC to display to body to just plain being smaller. That means they can hit the low price point they're shooting for and not have to mark up the memory upgrade as much.

On top of that, they've been in production for months and selling fairly well, which lets them lower costs per unit which they can then afford to pass on to the consumer, which is why you can now get a 32Gb at the old 16Gb).

That said, you didn't find any brick and mortar stores selling the 8Gb N10 model, because there's no markup. It's a loss-leader for Google, and the retail stores simply can't make any money on them selling them at Play store prices. And that applies to the 16Gb N10 for now.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttahatt:
I don't believe any Nexus devices have SD card slots.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortion:
Look into how Android was designed. It was NEVER designed to be used with external storage. Google branded NEXUS will generally never have external storage.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dannypingpong:
Thanks a lot Mat!
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottyd035ntknow:
Rofl I'm the one who said "flying crotch punch" in my original quote, he was just re-stating what I said. But yeah I still want to throw one at the designers. I don't care if Android was not originally designed to use expandable memory, MULTIPLE manufacturers have proven it works just fine. I won't buy a phone with no expandable memory (or removable battery for that matter but that's off topic) and I certainly don't want a tablet without an expandable slot. This is why I am still looking VERY hard at an ASUS tablet if I am to get one.

As for the original topic... wal mart is selling the 32GB one as was stated in the first big post on this page. It is the most cost effective for them. However with cloud storage and just about every phone having tethering nowadays and 4G being everywhere... I don't see the point from a user standpoint. I can fill up 16GB with like 4 movies or 1/4 of my music library so IMHO it is pointless to spend $100 on a pittance of storage especially since I can get a way bigger SD card with adapter to use for half that price. Also for the fact that I have an unlimited data plan, access to LTE and my phone can tether so I can just use the cloud. This actually makes the 8GB Nexus 7 for $150 pretty appealing honestly... If you can find one.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] emckai:
I've noticed the AOSP roms have some type of home button glitch where once you put the phone to sleep, sometimes you'll have to press the home button twice or even more to get the phone to turn on. But if you use the power switch, it'll turn on perfectly.

What i've noticed is when the phone does turn on when you press the home button, the screen kind of flickers and just seems very odd.

Once I turned on Force GPU Rendering in Developer Options

Developer Options -> Force GPU Rendering

This seems to fix the home button issue for the most part. RARELY will you need to press the home button twice or more.

Hope this helps a lot of people having this issue!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] apacseven:

We don't need something lower than the 820 - we need something smaller than the 820. At the moment Nokia is off my list because everything is too big. I want a flagship phone with a 4" screen. Is that too much to ask?

No problems with the big screen for me, just the 920 is pretty bulky in general, other than that I'm fine. The only problem is that all three 8X, 820 and 920 are too expensive for me. Only the 8S i could afford, but I'm scared because it seems a bit low spec-wise..

Eclipse project to make clock skins for Wallpapyrus pro app (search Google play). The clocks feature a second's hand and can be adjusted for position and scale in the app.

The steps are:

1) ) Unzip sample project 'Analog clock 2.zip' on desktop in your computer.

2) Open eclipse. Create new project. Select 'Android Project From Existing Code' and select this project.

3) Change package name of project to a unique name - it can be [?].[?].[yourname].[skinname]. ? can be any word. You have to open AndroidManifest.xml and change package name there.

4) Replace your clock images in the raw folder.

5) Change app icons.

6) Provide app name.

7) Export project and upload here and/or Google play.

Note: The images for the clock are pivoted at the centre. See the images in the project.

Ask for any help. Below is the link for UCCW skins project which also explains the steps more clearly for making an android app.

Hi. I didn't understand this. Maybe 'coz I haven't used wallpapyrus that much other than applying the wallpapers with it a few times.

So, when we apply wallpaper with wallpapyrus now, it'll also add a clock widget on the homescreen? Where exactly the analog clock fits in in wallpaper app?? sorry for my silly question if it is silly.
[Android Themes] DSaif:
Maybe the clock is a part of the wallpaper and will stay with it.. I don't get it. Please explain Vin.
[Android Themes] vineetksirohi:
There is a request (most by Niteowl) to implement the second hand in UCCW. Well UCCW is a widget, so its not feasible in a customization app (may be as a stand alone widget).

This is one solution for second hand in clock - Live wallpaper. So I made it as a weekend project.

Currently its only available in Wallpapyrus pro.
[Android Themes] vineetksirohi:
The clock can be placed anywhere on the screen in the Wallpapyrus settings (found in live wallpaper).
[Android Themes] bagarwa:
So, this eclipse project will create analog clocks with seconds hand. Is this flow of events -

User already has a wallpaper1 applied.

User long presses homescreen

Wallpaper > wallpapyrus.

There'll be a new option in the 'select from' window which will list all the analog clocks?

User selects the clock and it'll be applied as a live wallpaper with the wallpaper1 as background?
[Android Themes] vineetksirohi:
Wallpapyrus is replacement for default android wallpaper app. Default wallpaper app forces you to crop images while setting wallpaper - Wallpapyrus doesn't. Just choose Wallpapyrus where you would choose wallpaper while setting wallpapers. Try the free Wallpapyrus app.

Wallpapyrus pro has option to show clocks in settings. User will select the clock there after installing clock skin.
