As for data collection...you are using Android right?

Also check the permissions to all those third party apps.

Thanks in advance for keeping this thread civil or ignoring it.

I take my privacy seriously, as I'm sure most of us do. As mentioned previously market apps gain a certain amount of info from us.

Maybe CM should have a free version with no opt out or a pay version with one (key maybe). That should make everyone happy.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jamesyboy:
I think this is a brilliant idea, regardless of the status of CM Stats. A paid version with a extra feature set would be awesome.

As far as the argument for data like language, region, build, etc. I think we can say conclusively that this could be handled by a installation report, that runs once after installation or upgrade.

The type of data they need doesn't neccesitate a background service, which is why its naturally suspicious.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jamesyboy:
I though is was enabled by default. Is this something the devs choose? Upon installation, i see a "cm statistics is running" banner in notification. Even so, what's changing, is their removing opt out all together.

Restore the opt-out for stats.

* Apparently this is a bigger issue for a small number of extremely

vocal users. We should respect their wishes, no matter how off-base

their claims are in this context.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jamesyboy:
Is there a way we can educate/frame a conversation around how to do this in a way accepting of the vocal crowd? Perhaps an outreach campaign, minimal in effort that might encourage more users to opt in? This is an area where fundamental good can be done. The same people who've been vocal should have no problem explaining what would get them to opt in.

I think this whole thing might have been a brief thing, but if the statistics really help the project, we can all have our cake and eat it too.

You knew you'd see a post crying about this because of all that data your collecting told you lol!

Just teasin!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
I would have just frozen the background service. ...

We rooty types can do that sort of thing now days. ..

And just to prevent the assumption that I missed the point of the OP. ...I didn't, and can only imagine the amount of target data our carriers pull by simply using our device. (See lengthy contract and service agreement of your carrier)...

CM data is small potatoes by comparison. ..and while quite useful to them in the generation of custom firmwares, it's a useless data source for us.

I've freely given cyanogen my data for years. And in return Steve has given me high quality work for my trouble. .....privacy concerns accepted. ....g

The easiest way to prevent CM from getting any data from you is too not install, not really that hard to figure out.

Update:

Crowd funding campaign is online:

www.startnext.de/en/andock

Hello everyone,

Today I would like to ask you about your opinion on my self-developed Nexus 4 Dock. First, I wanted to develop the station just for me, because I couldn’t find a Nexus 4 docking station that really fits my needs. Now I’m thinking about starting my own crowd funding campaign with this station. I already got some positive feedback on the German website android-hilfe.de.

The features of my docking station are:

- SlimPort included

- Active cooling by a fan to prevent the usual CPU throttling

- Display in widescreen format unlike the usual docking stations

- NFC-Tag

- cube shape design

- Docking Station is weighted to provide more stability

I also created a website for this project: andock.com

What do you think? Would you be interested in such a station? Thank you for your opinion.

So here are some pictures:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] snapper.fishes:
1) Frankly, the prototype looks terrible, especially when placed next to the Apple mouse and keyboard with their curves. Hopefully that's not what the final product will look like. Some round corners might help.

2) Take the LED away. It's not going to do jack if it's behind the phone. You won't be able to see it from the front.

3) Consider making the thickness of the "gap" around the micro usb adjustable so as to accomodate a larger range of phones. One way to do that is to make the gap wider, but provide plastic pieces that can be slipped into the gap to make it narrower. Think ipod dock adapters.

4) You need a better looking power button. It looks like something from the 70s, in which case you should make the dock out of wood. (In that case, disregard point 1 about rounded corners).

5) If possible, the dock should be powered by a micro usb.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Noc2:
Thank you for you quick and honest response.

1)	Personally I am not a friend of the “apple curves “ and I especially don’t want to get sued. ;) I wanted to create my own design. But everyone has a different opinion about design and that’s why I asked about your feedback.

2)	You can also see the LEDs on the other side

3)	SlimPort doesn’t work for other phones either, but depending on the feedback I will also make adjustments for different smartphones.

4)	I will think about it. It’s still a prototype.

5)	It’s powered by a USB cable.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] pooblej:
Well I like it!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] frigidazzi:
Does it charge the phone fast enough to gain a charge when outputting it to a TV? How about with Bluetooth on also for controllers and the like?

I agree that it would be nice to have it adjustable to fit other phones (and cases/bumpers). This might be the only phone with a Slimport, but who's to say other phones won't have them soon?

I agree the whole thing does look a little old school, but as long as its functional.

I would also prefer no LED light, but I might in the minority. I hate how everything in my home has a glow to it LOL.

Ultimately the biggest determining factor for me in buying something like this would be price.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mark398:
As an N4 owner I'm excited to see any development of nice quality support h/w.

One doubt I have is for the fan cooling. I don't think the case of the N4 is really designed to dissipate much heat to the surrounding air (like most phones) with no fins and a pretty poor thermal conductivity (glass and plastic). I can't imagine that an external fan would help much, and just drive up cost and annoying noise of the dock.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Noc2:
You can switch the fan on and off. Besides I got good results in tests with the fan on. If you run a lot of benchmarks in a row (especially while the Nexus 4 is charging and connected to a TV via bluetooth), you’ll experience a decrease of the benchmark score. The fan definitely reduces this issue. I will post some results in the next days.

I want to make the price as low as possible without any quality restrictions. It will be under 100 Euro.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] facetubespam:
Great to see people developing unique accessories for the Nexus 4, but for me this dock is just awkward.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] yerand:
The power switch should be replaced with something more modern, and the design should maybe better match the N4. Maybe a glossy black plastic and an led mounted under a more transparent plastic like the led on the N4 is mounted under the glass. Over all, I love the idea and would probably buy it even in its current state.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] joey3002:
I'd love it as a kit to put together myself and keep the cost down... already as an option.

100euros would be a bit steep imo. I can already get a dock for cheap.

Your slot should come with a way to accommodate cases too... atleast the bumper
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dark_sat:
Your dock is interesting, but, unless you're a developer that needs a cable connection (in my opinion) it makes a lot more sense just to buy an Orb and be done with it. File transfers can be done with AirDroid (for example). Wireless charging on the Orb is just as fast as trough cable (I have one) and it doesn't have the hassle of connecting/disconnecting the cable itself.

For someone that really wants the cable connection, it's useful. The design, if you want to really produce it, I'd recommend you to make it in a way that you can plug-in most android phones with the usb dock on the bottom. Make it simpler, why leds, buttons and fan (sorry, but I really don't think you need a fan in it)? Otherwise, good work.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] tino_b:
Hi, I don't own a nexus 4 but I'm intrigued with ur project. To me, the concept is nice: something minimalistic, able to cool down the phone and provide connectivity to another device (or computer). It'd be a good idea if u can make the cube have a glossy texture, like white or black because it will still look nice even if u don't want to smooth out the edges. Also, it would be nice if it can accommodate phones that have a screen size of 5" or more (perhaps a slightly bigger cube). Also, I think led is fine but the switch for the fan should be smaller, maybe something rounded like the buttons of the iPhone 5 or a power button of any android phone and can also disguise with the cube's color. I believe something like that would look really nice on any desk. :)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Noc2:
Thank you for your feedback. I take it seriously.

Here is the promised article about the fan of my docking station:

http://www.andock.com/2013/04/the-temperature-of-google-nexus-4-with.html
[Nexus 4 Accessories] threeclaws:
The article + picture explains the purpose behind a dock like this, you essentially want to be able to run your N4 as a console (hence the fan and necessity of slimport) seems like a niche product for a niche phone.

Seems cool but for the same price I could get an Ouya and keep my phone for phone stuff.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] gharrrrrr:
I'm intrigued. If this went to market I would be very tempted to buy. Could set it on my desk, hook up sixaxis controller and jam out a few games easily.

Sent from one device or another.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kickthefreak:
this is awesome man, i hope you can built more and can sell to us or me :D
[Nexus 4 Accessories] irishrally:
Is that SLS? SLA? Rapid prototyping ftw.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Noc2:
It’s SLS.

I really liked it because of the structure of the material. It’s not like the usual plastic or FDM.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] pnnorth:
Judging by some of the Ouya reviews out there, it's probably advisable to stick with your phone for now.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] threeclaws:
It's beta/developer hardware right now, the retail stuff will have to be better (they are planning on selling at BB/Amazon.) The software on the other hand...I already went through that once with the boxee box (solid hardware + crap software.)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dokukinoko:
I really like the dock and all the featuers you are incorporating it. Actually, one of my future goals I wanted to do is also making a (much simpler) custom dock for my phone out of aluminum. The idea was sprung from the fascination of people who were able to make custom computer cases
[Nexus 4 Accessories] theandrewgordon:
While your at it, add otg usb port? esp, since you already are powering it?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] hgigh:
I like the idea.

I agree that $100 is a bit much but since slimport is still $30 I don't see how it could actually get affordable enough for me.

I think that a little rounding on the edges and a high gloss black (think AC adapter for N4) would look great with the device.

I like the ideas about inserts to allow use of a bumper or case (possibly another phone).

I like the idea of being able to turn off the fan. Maybe a night-time LED on/off switch for those that prefer not to have lights?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Noc2:
After testing a lot of different fans, I will probably use one with a magnet bearing system to ensure the best cooling capacity with the least possible noise.

I’m still looking for the optimal cable (USB to micro USB). If anyone knows a good cable please contact me.

Here are some new pictures:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] blakrepublic:
Don't mean to take away from the thread but I think your time would be better spent making a charging case for nexus 4 and as slim as possible with great battery power iPhone has too many options
[Nexus 4 Accessories] rellur:
Ah i love the Idea. The first time I used slimport with my Nex4 I felt the need to have some sort of dock + cooling system for gaming.

Is there a way for the user to use his own slimport cable ? I feel that option should exist :)

Looking forward to future revisions of your design!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Noc2:
Finally my crowd funding campaign is online. You can find it on this site:

www.startnext.de/en/andock

During the starting phase the campaign needs enough fans. So it would be nice if you become a fan of my campaign. It doesn’t mean that you have to support the project financially.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Gxyzhu:
This looks great! I'll definitely be a fan.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Noc2:
The funding phase has finally started! Please help me to produce this amazing dock and tell all of your friends about it. We appreciate every single euro you can support us with! Thank you!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] piolec:
Nice!

start the production :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DaveCosta:
Looks great, if a little pricey. But awesome, still!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] siddroid:
This is outstanding. I would really love to utilize my phone more with this kind of dock. I am wondering do you really need a switch for the fan? Is there a possibility to have it auto start once the circuit is completed when phone is docked. Just an idea..
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mustafa.ali61:
I love it. Where can I buy it
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Noc2:
@ siddroid

Cool idea but I think it’s difficult to realize because of the SlimPort adapter. I will see what I can do.

@ mustafa.ali61

You can buy it on http://www.startnext.de/andock . Startnext is similar to kickstarter but much smaller. In Germany it’s difficult to start a successful crowd funding campaign because kickstarter is only for American and British citizens.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] shure2:
Looks great, especially when its styled to match the n4.

A different design with the side loading profile, is there any reason you didn't design it to be behind? I only ask because it would look more subtle.

Still I like the current design, have you thought about introducing an LCD screen to display certain alerts. Obviously that'll be more expensive, but impressive none the less!

Something with a slim profile to make it more transportable would be great.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ismethajametovic:
LOL, "self-developed." What ever happened to, "DIY"?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] snapper.fishes:
DIY would imply that OP created a design that can be replicated easily by anyone reading this thread. When you purchase this dock, it will arrive in its completed state.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] threeclaws:
There is a pretty clear distinction between the two, especially in this case.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ismethajametovic:
Whatever makes you guys feel better inside. :silly:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ATGAdmin:
Great job! I love it!

;)

Great job on yours as well :rolleyes:

Everyone's taste for design, colors, etc is going to be different. I think it's a great job without getting too extreme!

Just my .02 cents ;)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Noc2:
Hi. Our campaign is part of the “Unperfekthaus Contest” this month. This means if we have the most supporters until Tuesday we get additional 500 Euros. We would use the money to offer more individualized docking stations or rather to order individualized prototypes and then offer docking stations in different colors or docks with your name on it.

So if you support us with just one Euro until Tuesday it will help us to get 500 Euro for our project. (startnext.de/en/andock) Thank you very much.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Noc2:
For those still interested; I added a new reward: AnDock in different colors.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] hellrokr:
awesome work buddy! I'll be buying this for sure !
[Nexus 4 Accessories] siddroid:
Can I still order the early prototype?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Noc2:
Yes, if you want to order the old prototype you can send me a message on startnext with your name and I will send you the old version as sonn as we start shipping.

Here are some pictures of the new design:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] hellrokr:
any word on the cost?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Noc2:
Same price. I am not able to sell it cheaper, because of 3D-printing, small batch and SlimPort.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] InfiniteStylez:
I'm probably quite late to this, but I wanted to leave my feedback in the event you make future installments of this device. I saw your campaign video and I love the direction you're going in so far.

I would accommodate more devices for sure. To be completely honest, you could build a killer reputation and huge profit off of a tablet version of this. I strongly recommend considering building one for the 7" tablet space, Nexus 7 owners will be singing your praises, myself included.

I love the idea of the cooling fan. I'm a heavy user and I could really use this to siphon some extra performance out of my processor before saving and exiting my game.

Widescreen is brilliant. The Android mini PC market might not be too happy with you lol But you're doing what's best for the consumer, in my opinion. I have an HDTV and absolutely need this function for mirroring my Nexus 4.

Nice move on the NFC. It's not something I could use, as I only use NFC for media swapping between my personal devices, and tap transactions at equipped stores, but I'm sure a lot of users would find this very useful. Maybe if they wanted to quickly launch they're browsers or office suites without investing the extra moments to find and launch from their app drawers or homescreens.

This is the part that really matters; the construction. It's compact and convenient, but it could be a little sleeker to match the overall sexiness of the Nexus 4. Maybe you could bevel the front/top edge, give it a classy [glossed] watermark to represent you, and keep the matte black finish. I don't know, just throwing something out there. I can't really think of much to criticize the design language. Honestly, I'm still going to buy one regardless lol

[Nexus 4 Accessories] Noc2:
Currently, 78 percent of the project is financed. It would be nice if you can help us to reach our goal, so that we can start with production. For example some advertisement would be really helpful or news tips for some blogs. One of our main problems is that most people don’t even know this station exists.

Thank you for your feedback so far. We take it really seriously and want to continue developing docking station together with you.

Want my andock! Only a few days left and still so much money to go.

Hey guys. I definitely want the andock for my nexus 4, but im afraid the rest of the needed money will not be provided.

I think this one really deserves to be produced.

The campaign only runs until end of this month.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Noc2:

Until the end of the project you can still order your AnDock.

I noticed, that a mini version of this dock is now available.

The price is much lower, but it has no cooler.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] lecash69:
Hi mate,

it is great that your trying to make a new device, kudos to you for that.

since the nexus 4 has a terrible battery life, using it while out and about is very problematic.

Have tou thought about maybe making a hard case that slots into the micro usb at bottom of phone, then have a micro usb adapter at top?

then phone would be kept safe, would protect the micro usb slot, and allow easy recharging from external powerbanks while using headphone socket for earphones and the likes.

then if you get it to work, maybe add extra features like a microsd slot, mini hdmi slot maybe even an extra battery at some point, think you could make a nice range of products that way to suit many tastes.

Just ideas for you
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Noc2:
Thank you for your ideas.

I’m constantly developing and improving… as long as I have time for it :)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Sabbra:
I´m sure that is soon to tell, but, as we know N4 is going to be discontinued, any chance of this dock work with N5?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Noc2:
Maybe... I think the Nexus 5 will also use SlimPort.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] siddroid:
I am using the dock and hoping to use it when I upgrade to Nexus 5!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] brooon:
Just came across this dockingstation - nice one dude (grüsse aus DE ;))! Are there any news on using this dock with other devices? I would love to support your project with ordering the device (and to promote it to my colleagues ;)), but I have to make sure that I will be able to use it in the future as well :confused:
