[Nexus 4 General] Ace42:
Jelly Bean barely pushes two cores so there's no reason to upgrade. I don't know it you guys have noticed yet but Google's is still not as optimized as Apple's. The hardware-to-software performance optimizations just aren't here yet.
[Nexus 4 General] phermey:

[Nexus 4 General] smithwicks:
What are you changing to?
[Nexus 4 General] otariq:
Now that T-Mobile is getting rid of classic plans it means no more upgrades so probably for 3 years or so. It's one of the reasons I got the nexus the quad core, 2gb ram and timely updates makes it somewhat future proof
[Nexus 4 General] phermey:
going back to my gs2. its not as fast, but with the ported international leak it is just as good. i find myself using my gs2 just as much or more than i use my nexus. i am also tired of having to wipe every surface i set the phone down onto. so i figure why not at least try to get my money back out of it while i can. i can easily last with the gs2 until the x-phone comes out. cause that is what i really want.... a nexus with a camera that is half way decent.
[Nexus 4 General] gee2012:
I`am interested in the Oppo Find5 when it comes out, specs are superb and will be released in Europe also. I`am however very happy with the Nexus 4, it`s fast, has a good screen and a very good gpu.
[Nexus 4 General] Ace42:
If you don't like finger prints wouldn't it make sense to get dual screen protectors and a case? :silly:
[Nexus 4 General] Imperticus:
Probably 2 years, I've always kept my phones for roughly about 20-22months
[Nexus 4 General] m3lover1:
Most likely until a month or so after the Nexus launches probably, unless I don't like the new Nexus design/hardware.
[Nexus 4 General] Z4nd4r:
2014 at least, given it doesn't get broken. Maybe longer; with the OS updates it'll get from Google, the usable life for this device should be quite long. I'm betting when the next Nexus comes out in 2013 it'll be like it was for GSM GNex owners when the N4 came out; it'll be a nice phone, but not better enough to make me want to purchase it over my Nexus 4.
[Nexus 4 General] phermey:
its not fingerprints. i scratched the back on the first day just by setting it down on a table. i moved it an inch when i picked it up and it got scratched.

anyways... back on my gs2. honestly... half the fun of owning a smartphone is the excitement one gets when he is looking forward to the next latest and greatest. you dont get that when you have the latest and greatest.
[Nexus 4 General] Infortheskrill:
Less than a year. Probably till July-ish.
[Nexus 4 General] jmejiaa:
Probably for a while, until no more official updates from Google...Even then with cm I may be ok..

Unless it becomes so slow its a pain or it just breaks of course.
[Nexus 4 General] UZ7:
I'll use this phone until it either stops working, starts lagging w/ updates (hardware gets outdated/unlikely), Google x phone releases or I win the lottery lol..

..until a better phone comes out. Crosses fingers for a Nexus 5 with a 5 inch 1080P phone with 64GB of internal storage. Google can have my $500 today for a preorder

maybe also when a phone with super long battery life is launched in the future
[Nexus 4 General] snak3ater:

Well you should be asking 'When are we all going to get N4' :crying:
[Nexus 4 General] Lothaen:
Till Google stop supporting and/or it breaks.
[Nexus 4 General] Mastinal:
Probably going to hang onto mine until the next nexus, or until my girlfriend decides she's going to take it to replace her iPhone 4.

[Nexus 4 General] zivan56:
This year, I had 3 phones (Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy Note, and N4). At the start of the year I had my trusty HD2 running Android. So I guess about 3-4 months heh
[Nexus 4 General] Nebucatnetzer:
Until the next one comes out.

I'm collecting them :D. Started with the N1.
[Nexus 4 General] Muikkuman:
I'm going to get the N4 and going to keep it until it dies.
[Nexus 4 General] deestroi66:
Until the Google/Moto X-Phone comes out I suppose.
[Nexus 4 General] rlaw:
Probably a year.

Will either buy the next Nexus (or Motorola super device if it's stock Android) and give this one to my SO or just sell this one and buy two of the next Nexus if they're priced similarly (300-400$).

Will be using it until another nexus that seems good enough to upgrade which can take a year or two.
[Nexus 4 General] xdviper:
Until the next Nexus. Gotta upgrade every year and get a feel for faster, better phones... or maybe until the Samsung S4.... Depends....
[Nexus 4 General] snapper.fishes:
Hopefully for the next 3 years. For me it's not about whether I can afford a new phone, but no being wasteful. I used my Galaxy S1 for nearly three years before getting the Nexus 4, and I would have stuck with it if not for how slow it has become. The amount of RAM in the I9000 just wasn't enough for the newer apps.
[Nexus 4 General] tsongwh:
I Use it just beacuse My galaxy nexus was stolen....

and nexus4 is so cheap and i love google system
[Nexus 4 General] svengalis:
I am really living this phone so I will probably keep it for awhile. If the next nexus is also $300 I will probably upgrade to that if the screen is not to big. I think the size of this screen for the nexus 4 is perfect though and I couldn't imagine using anything bigger, although I said the same thing about my g2x.
[Nexus 4 General] ibarra21:
Assuming I get my N4 by January, and hopefully they're not like Samsung or Apple wherein they release a new phone every year, then I'd probably say 2-3 years.
[Nexus 4 General] Nburnes:
They (Google) do release a new phone every year.

I'll be getting the next Nexus as well.

Which is funny because it makes us no different in terms of upgrades that iOS/Apple advocates.
[Nexus 4 General] Ace42:
Product refresh cycles should be every 18 months and not 12. Apple has released like 3 iPads in the last year if I'm not mistaken.
[Nexus 4 General] norazi:
until the next nexus phone comes out... ive had every single one: n1, ns, gnex, n4
[Nexus 4 General] mk92595:
I agree with you on the price. Another $300 nexus? I'm sold.
[Nexus 4 General] frigidazzi:
Until the next nexus comes out. UNLESS it has 16gb of storage. If there's not at least a 32gb next year then I am out.
[Nexus 4 General] elarella:
I intend to hold on to the N4 unless I break it or something. Anyway, it actually depends on what the next Nexus will look like and what type of hardware it has. I may get flamed for saying this, but I felt that the Nexus S wasn't that entirely different from the Nexus One, so I held on to the Nexus One for a while. I took a hard look at the Galaxy Nexus, but when I got a hold of a HTC HD2 and ended up rooting it, it pretty much distracted me from the GNex. Anyway, I am extremely pleased with the N4, so I am going to see what next winter will bring.
[Nexus 4 General] Silverspitz:
I will use it until Xperia Nexus comes, I need phone with an excellent camera!
[Nexus 4 General] rageguy:
Until the S4 or the next Nexus. As much as I like the current Nexus 4, it's just too cool to play with new phones and technology.
[Nexus 4 General] js2021:
I've been switching phones on avg every 3-4 months. I think when the s4 comes out I may go for that
[Nexus 4 General] moses992:
18months at least. I wonder if the hardware would be outdated by then? I mean the quad core chip with 2GB RAM are overkill by today's standards, no single app requires that much power.
[Nexus 4 General] threeclaws:
Based on my track record in ~5mos., more likely it'll be 6mos when it stops being my DD and the release of the N5 will knock it out of rotation completely.
[Nexus 4 General] Ace42:
A15s will be the norm next year so the n4 won't be fully outdated. The S4 Pro shares features eiyj the A15 line, and I read that is has like 80% of an A15's performance(3.3m instead of 3.5m like an a15). Also I would like to mention that Qualcomm is manufacturing three with a smaller die size.
[Nexus 4 General] lokenok:
5 YEARS
[Nexus 4 General] tweaked:
I barely had this one a month.....Who knows...

I still have an available upgrade for two phones on ATT.

But, I already have the best phone available. IMO

There is nothing I want currently or that I see in the next 3 months. I can normally use a phone 2 years or so.
[Nexus 4 General] Salty Wagyu:
Hopefully 2 or 3 years, and possibly prolong it further as long as it doesn't slow down like old smartphones do. Saying that, I should probably collect and store the Nexus 4 factory images now so I could always revert back to an old speedier version in-case Android 5.x/6.x introduces some slowdown.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] James Musacchio:
Alright, I know the camera isn't broken because the camera works on any rom that isn't cyanogen based. I made sure i wiped all data and cache before installing cyanogen and I got the correct gapps too, but every time i try to load any camera app, it errors and shuts down. the integrated camera app says "cannot connect to camera" and then closes right away after opening it. How is this fixable? what am I doing wrong?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] civicdrivr:
Bump, Im having the same issue. Its perplexing to say the least.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ELStiko:
What camera are you using? I was on Paranoid Android 2.54 and when I flashed the 4.2 camera, it did not play nice. Taking a picture will freeze the app and then from that point on it never connected to camera. Are you pulling the right Gapps?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] civicdrivr:
I flashed black bean v7 along with the gapps they posted on their website for bb7. I've been flashing the 4.1 gapps on the 4.1 Roms and 4.2 gapps on the 4.2 Roms. I did a bit more research and a few people have mentioned a bin file that they grab from the stock image and put into /data on the new rom. I'm going to try that in a bit.

[HTC Sensation] Raven2k:
When said 'unlocked what exactly do you mean? Is it s-off? Is it HTCDev unlocked?

Bootloops occur when the kernel, firmware and rom do not all match. I would suggest flashing 4ext recovery and marking 'smartflash' option before flashing any roms.

Than flash 3.33 firmware (see my signature).

Later, flash roms. I would suggest starting with ARHD (Android Revolution HD) which is close to stock.

If it goes well you're good to go on other roms.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Chris08:
Hi all,

I am just wondering how can I update an app in the Gapps-signed package?

There is a newer version of this app from Google and I have downloaded the signed APK from Google.

I suppose I cannot just simply delete the older package within the zip archive and put this newer one in there and name it the same name as the older one?

I want to have this newer package installed when I have installed a new rom.

Any help is really apreciated, many thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bg.stefan90:
Hello ,

few days ago i updated my gf's s2 to new JB that was leaked offical samsung but from odin, then i got an idea, cuz i have Captivate Armani I9010 and i was using Remics JB as last rom, cuz it was look rly nice likly s3 rom, but i didn't like aops dialer layout and some more staff and i got idea of porting S2 or even S3 rom to captivate, and i was playing with some tutorials and android kitchen but without lucky, as I have rly bad knowledge of programing thinks , but I'm trying and want to learn more, my point was that maybe its posible to use some custom aops rom as base(ofc if developer agree) and port s2 rom over, i know that to port stock apk's form s2 that i like i need to port aslo framework, but what else?

Is someone with knowledge are up to help me or take this project if it interesting?

Or if this is totally wrong , what is real way to go of port s2 rom to captivate? I'm sure that its posible i saw some video of s2 rom on i9000 with is pritty much same as capativate. (it was GB i think because video is old) but if it able to port one rom there is no difference but what is good way to start.

I am really sorry about my English , its not my main language, and I am interesting in learning as much as i can about android dev.

Ps. OR mabye it would be easy to just port some of apk instead of porting whole rom. (secphone seclaucher secmms seccontacts systemui etc etc)

Greetings.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
The best way to go about porting a ROM would be to ask one of your fav dev and read one hell of a lot!

Theming is fairly easy, you open the app with something like apktool and work your way through (or can use kitchen). As far as porting apps, it would mainly be the framework but you gotta keep in mind functionality that the Cappy doesn't have.

Reading and guides are really your best friends here. It can all be self learnt but it requires a lot of patience, gotta expect some good old headbanging lol

Here's a thread that could help you: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=916814
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bg.stefan90:
Thanks,

I will probably start with port some apks but, as its not that hard job, but should like to learn how to port rom really i was reading some guides with was like its ok for any phone from same generation cpu like armv7 ported and base rom need to be same version, used same manifecture of device . and what i did used deo-dexed s2 rom JB 4.1.1 official one (aslo found one slimed s2 rom 4.1.1 aslo) and tryed few different as base CM10 for cappy was one of them its 4.1.2 but i think there is no big difference i tryed some 4.1.1 roms as base with was work on phone ok but when i made rom trought those guides its stack on bootanimation and logcat just spam that like every apk die:)

That was one of guides where it's says that it will work for all stock/cm/aokp roms ICS and JB updated.

There are few really easy steps and what i expected is that phone will boot and will be buggy as **** till a lot of tweaks but it didnt even boot :(((

PS. I was looking around and i found that there are some custom rom (this was for s2 ) that are based on samsung base not aokp or cm. And they have all features of custom rom with all stock samsung look witch i like and stock phone/dialer/contact/tw/systemui/ etc etc/

My questions is there mabye that kind of rom for captivate or at least i9000 since i think its easier job to port from i9000 then from s2. And what would be base because last fw for cappy or galaxy s is GB, is there any posiblilty to get ISC or JB samsung based rom on this device?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
They can all be ported, it's mostly framework. Although, I never ported a ROM so I'm not the best one to guide you through this. If I'm not mistaken, there are guides in XDA-U. Also, there are quite a few nice Devs around here that could help you through it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bg.stefan90:
Thanks, I saw some of those guides some are generic some are on example but i for porting samsung (s2) based rom i need to use some jb base for captivate cm or aokp but there some difference when porting roms even if both base and port are same version JB . Cuz they are not on same base. And i hope it is not difficult to make. If it's not hard I would please ask some od dev to give me some guide. On what i have to take care . What to do and i will gief all effort and time to make it working.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rodohmes:
I got one of those fancy vibration-technology speakers (trupulse.net) for Christmas, but regardless of the ROM I've tried (Super Jelly, JellyBam, & others) I get a noticeable crackle when playing music through bluetooth on it. Seems to be connected some to what I do on my phone while music's playing (opening apps, rotating the screen, etc), but it also happens randomly too. I had my wife try it on her stock LTE with Jellybean and it works correctly. I'm also confident it's bit the speaker itself because my TouchPad and my bro-in-law's iPhone worked fine too.

Anybody got any ideas what the issue might be?

P.S. I noticed I have 2 bluetooth share apps, so I froze them individually in TiBu but do still had the issue.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jpage101:
I notice crackle when multitasking or when i press power button on my phone. It only lasts a second though. Running pacman rom.

Is it a constant crackle? Also, have you tried turning volume down on your phone and up on the speaker?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rodohmes:
Thanks for your reply. The speaker I'm using doesn't have its own dedicated volume, only adjusted using whatever's connected to it. It's not consistent in that it's every 5 seconds or anything, but like you said when multitasking (and almost EVERY time the screen rotates) it happens. And sometimes it'll last several seconds at a time.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cj.lyon21:
This has been an issue since launch with the phone. The only thing that I found to work was increasing voltages with a kernel app but I don't believe this to be possible yet. HTC majorly screwed up with BT Audio on this thing.

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] intaglioman:
Hi there,

Ive just grabbed a Nook HD for my Mom for christmas, We got it running to discover all her prior purchased .mobi books will not work.. :( So I took it to factory, rooted etc did the OOBE bypass and discovered its called "TESTs Nook" now.. To cut a long story short.. How do I either change the user name or add another account as its just got a circle that spins for litterally hours (unless it restarts!)

Thanks
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
You can't change the test name. And you can't add an account that has B&N access because the device is not registered. But I think you can just add a profile by tapping the test name at the top.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HiddenG:
If you skip OOBE, you cannot change the Test's name. You also cannot create another profile, as you have explained, the waiting icon will just spin for hours, until the end of time, or when the battery dies out (whichever comes first).

If you'd like to change the Test's name, or create another profile, you need to register your Nook device. You cannot skip OOBE. I'm not too familiar with the Nook HD (I'm only accustomed to the HD+), but do you need to skip OOBE to root? If not, then go ahead register (remember the credentials, they are extremely important, you will not be able to register the device again without the same credentials) and then root. After that you can probably get a reader off Google Play which reads .mobi (of course, I'm sure that was your plan all along).

Best of luck, and unfortunately with skipping OOBE, you cannot create profiles or change TEST's name. :(

All the best.
