i made a decision which is to revert to the stock tiles behaviour.

the only thing that i was finding odd about the stock tiles was only the mobile data behaviour, which i found pointless. this is why i edited it and switched to open the mobile network settings, so that it is easier and faster to access the dialog for the network settings and switch 2g/3g, turn data off and such. my decision is now to keep it like this. i honestly think it is time for a change, no power widget, no aokp/cm tiles. android 4.2.x is fast, it takes less than a sec now to open the settings via the quick settings. it is a fast os paired with our powerful devices. the ui is clean and essential, settings are easy to be found, everything works fine and quickly. the gui can seem barebones and poor but sometimes essential is the most difficult goal to achieve, and i want to keep it like this. there is no need IMHO to stuff the system with tons of code and png resources for custom tiles or extreme customization. i think it is time to forget about power widget and such.

think about the mobile tiles now, with click you can choose between a lot more options like turn data off, switch 2g/3g, data roaming etc etc: something that you need 3 tiles for with the aokp/cm tiles implementation. with the wifi tile you can enter the wifi settings, switch it off/on, change wifi, add a new network, the wps, scan, enter the advanced settings etc etc. i like it like that. it makes more sense to me if with a click i get to have all these options. i can take the time to tap the tile and choose the option. it is not a matter about one extra step to turn the wifi on or off, it is a matter of availability of options. i hope it makes sense to you.

i am not cm, i am not aokp. i don't want to be better than them, i don't wanna be like them. first reason, i don't want to. second, i can't. third, why should i build just another rom like they do? they are much better at it than i am. they are big teams with a lot of skilled coders with long experience and probably a lot of time to focus on developing android.

I build Android mostly for myself. I don't look for more users, fame, thanks, twitter followers, swaggers or such. I am not better than them, and I'm not better than jbq and the developers at the android open source project. I like to use my brain and think, i don't believe in copying or kanging. The world is beautiful because we can take our own decisions and change the way we see that world. Programming is fun, is a challenge, is relaxing, is a lot of things, but IMHO is not about copying and providing the same old thing. I think that with android 4.2.x jbq and the whole team are trying to tell us hey you have unbelievable powerful devices, they are fast as hell, android now is not anymore froyo or gingerbread. with ics we changed everything. now we are giving you a very easy to understand ui, enjoy it. And with the aosp and the proprietaries binaries you can have the vanilla experience, the pure android vision.

It makes me think about Linux, windows, iOS. Linux has a clean ui while providing a clean powerful fast system, where if you know where to look, you can find and access everything very quickly. Windows wants to give you an easy os by providing a stuffed GUI which makes everything over complicated. iOS is nice but i don’t need all the whistles of a fancy ui. I am for Linux, a powerful os, fast and responsive.

so this is the new builld. i don’t know what you were expecting, probably the opposite and the quick setting customization and such. but it is not this the build for that. i like the vanilla experience, i don’t need extra stuff, i want a clean, light fast os. i want a phone which lasts on battery, with no extra unnecessary stuff. i don’t need to change the color of my nav bar buttons or the color of my clock. i don’t need to remember the color of the notification light i set for a particular app. i like my phone the way it is now. it is a nexus, it is beautiful. and i am a nexus *****.
