I'm also actually a little pleased that there's no new version of Android, so that I will not be that far behind while I wait for 4.2.2 to be released for my phone. Also based on the rumoured features on 4.3 none of them seemed beneficial at all with any new functionality for my needs.

Offline reading about this is a real hassle. But online, you will breeze through it! Once you start looking, you'll be amazed at the sheer volume of useful stuff out there.

And access to the Google online api documentation is praticaly mandatory.

Start by installing the Android Developer Tools, download from Google. It bundles eclipse and the SDK, all ready to run. Then build one of the simpler examples to get the hang both of eclipse and the project structure.

And of course, any questions or doubts, email me, I'll gladly help you.

I agree to [MENTION=1344833]lowveld[/MENTION] , the best resource is the documentation provided by google itself and at specific problems or for some nice snippets stackoverflow is unbeatable for my opinion, but there are as well a bunch of other nice resources out there, but most of them are pretty specific, so there isn't something covering all at once (at least as far as i seen), but if you put all together there basically is no limit, google is your friend^^

[Off-topic] Tectas:
Btw, has anyone already tested the android studio (or intellij where it is based on)?
[Off-topic] lowveld:
I gave it a shot yesterday night. I wasn't too impressed with it and uninstalled it 15 minutes later. It may be anti-bodies from using Eclipse for so long though, I'm sure there's a reason why google is changing the development platform...

From my point of view (admittedly based on a veeeery short try out), I couldn't figure out why I should change, at least at this stage. The overhead of learning a new IDE didn't seem to pay out just yet (I couldn't even compile and run a simple project).
[Off-topic] Tectas:
Well, sure, changing the IDE always brings problems at first stance, but i'm still interested where this is going, at first glance it doesn't look that bad (even while it's a pain in the eye within kde^^), but i agree that it doesn't seem really tempting and i as well still will stick with eclipse some time at least, just wanted to hear your opinions as well^^

I also only tested it some minutes and building the buildbox lib part worked well (and the import also worked flawless), but I didn't try to run it (and haven't tried how good it handles including the library), i must confess and it probably is another story to build a new project.

Let's see where this is going to be, hopefully they won't drop the adt plugin development within the near future.
[Off-topic] lowveld:
I doubt that the adt plugin will get dropped any time soon. They acknowledge that this new IDE is still in "preview" mode, and suggest people looking for stability keep using the Eclipse bundle. And I agree with you, that thing is butt-ugly.

Jumping a few posts back, regarding the old OSX-Linux-Windows thing: I recently bought a macbook pro retina (got a very nice deal, shaved off 400€ of the retail price), and it became THE laptop around the house. This was a continuation of my efforts of making my house look less like a radio shop, and more like a home, something my wife imposed on me. Opinions:

- You can't beat linux for raw power and ease of use (you read correctly) for my use cases, specially when it gets to installing new stuff, compiling from source, etc. But I'm not a regular user.

- As "normal" use system, the macbook blows the other alternatives away. It's small, light, has unbelievable battery life, and it's very very fast.

- There is only one feature I really love, and linux environments (KDE, Gnome) should really (shamelessly) pick up: maximizing a program automatically creates a virtual desktop just for it. This is dynamically managed, get off fullscreen, and the number or virtual desktops adjusts to what you had before.

You wouldn't believe what this last tiny bit does for speeding up your work flow once you get used to it, and maximizing screes real-estate. That 13.3 inch screen is suddenly all that I need.

Cheers

Do you think the the GS4 AOSP ROM can easily be ported to the GS4 original without any problems?

I used my friends S4 today and the eye scroll is actually suprisingly accurate!!

Air view feature seems a bit gimmicky so he has it switched off, but the eye scroll thing is pretty cool. In real life though, after the novelty has worn off, I can't see it really being beneficial.

I wonder if Sammy will bring this feature to the S3. I don't think it needs any special hardware requirements apart from a FFC.

They brought SmartStay to the S2, so maybe they'll do the same?

Yeah I noticed that with the refresh button, must be harder for you with a 4.8" screen! Wish the hardware menu button would open up a menu for refresh as Tapatalk 2 did.

I'm really enjoying the new photo features as well! Now when I upload screenshots I can directly highlight a part I want to show etc.

Not sure about caching to the SD card, I never checked with Tapatalk 2 either.

I have found a few glitches, it can be very smooth at times but then it can stutter.

I love the new quick reply option as well.

How's your experience with googy kernel? I had high expectations from it as the successor to siyah.... so I tried that kernel for some time last week. Horrible experience. Bad battery life, stutters and lags, with frequent system slowdowns, overheating issues and the works. After trying then all, I've finally settled on Boeffla kernel.

I didn't noice any performance difference between stock and siyah though
[Off-topic] jugg1es:
Not as impressed with the battery life on googy as Siyah, i was getting up to about 5 hours screen on time now im down to about 4.I've had no lags or stutters though and temp is about the same with both. I would try others but I'm after the dual boot as i miss the vanilla feel but everything crapwizz just works.

Had loads better battery on siyah than stock, and my feelings towards stock android mirror yours.

In going to stick with googy_max for now and play around with stweaks, see if i can't squeeze a bit more out of it. If not then i guess I'll go back to Siyah and dual boot 4.1 for a while longer.
