[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DonDizzurp:
YES, exactly. if the nexus line was discontinued, its not THAT big of a deal and android would still be just as strong. how many typical consumers use a nexus device vs the s3 and s4 with touchwiz? not a lot.. most of the nexus users are here on XDA lol

if AOSP was discontinued, then that would be a huge deal..

now, i still dont understand how anyone could leave android just because google stops releasing nexus devices..

youd leave android to go with a closed sourced limited operating system just because theres no more nexus? cmon..

complaining about binaries and this and that LOL good luck with all that on ios

---------- Post added at 03:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:14 PM ----------

CM, Slimbean, AOKP and now even PA are all essentially AOSP with a few extra mods and tweaks for you to play with. these, especially cm and slimbean (both of which are extremely close to aosp), are supposed on soooooo many devices both officially and unofficially. yea, you wont get plain old basic boring AOSP, you get AOSP with extra features..

you would give that up to go with a crummy limited iphone? lol...

now on the other hand people complain that AOSP doesnt function right on non nexus devices, but at the same time they appreciate the nexus device for getting the latest updates even if they are buggy? LOL what kind of ridiculous double standard
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
its not really a paradox. the kernel is completely changed for these UIs. a more logical comparison would be unix vs linux. linux is based on the unix kernel, but has been heavily modified.

yes the skins (sense, blue, etc) they are android, but not really AOSP anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DonDizzurp:
the base is AOSP. AOSP = android. the kernel is still a linux kernel. of course the kernel will change because the hardware interaction changes to a small degree. ive seen roms where a kernel can work for both stock android and sense android

its no where close to unix vs linux.. its stock android with linux kernel vs differently themed/skinned android with linux kernel..

us loyal android/google fans would hate it if nexus stopped but the majority of people will still use their sense and touchwiz devices. plus the availability of roms like CM and slimbean makes me wonder why anyone would switch to crappy limited ios if google stopped the nexus line
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
? I believe i didn't quote you? And I meant the comparison between several DE/WM and the Android "skins" by manufacturers. There's just too many differences between KDE or Ratpoison or almost every other DE/WM out there to even remotely compare them to the Android "skins", in terms of this so called variety/customization choices in the ecosystem.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] T-Keith:
Google has to release new android versions on something. If it's not a nexus, it would be something like the og moto DROID. Personally I would go HTC but their batteries are too small and their button arrangement is just dumb, so I would go with Motorola.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GottaProblemBro:
Galaxy series or unfortunately the iPhone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Soldier 2.0:
I don't know why, but I believe Samsung will realize how big they are and will abandon Android and release their own OS.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GottaProblemBro:
I don't believe that they'll release their own os. They just stick to bringing the next gen phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
I would go with the S4. In fact if the next nexus device is under whelming which is what I'm expecting it to be then I will be switching to a Galaxy Device for sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wunderkind:
I likely an HTC one series. They make good quality phones. I am eyeing the pure android HTC one ATM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] space-fish:
I would just get the best HTC or Samsung. The One and S4 are looking pretty sweet.

As for AOSP not working well on non-nexus devices I have an HTC Incredible S I was using until I got my GNex a few weeks ago and it had unofficial CM 10.1 when it was only supported by HTC up to ICS. Worked perfectly for me despite it being a legacy device. I think it even has one of the latest PA and a few other popular roms. I wouldn't be surprised if dev's continued to update it with the latest android for another year or two.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PVL_93_RU:
You forgot about Tizen
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mortenmhp:
Would go back to HTC, since they carry the least despicable theme(sense), and have some great built phones. And god do I hate the childish colors of touchwiz.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zittoro:
That's because Samsung's color is blue, which should not be used in the phones' theme cus of their amoled.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mortenmhp:
It's also not just the colors it's the icons as well. There are so many parts of their ui that even on the GS4 still looks like something from GB, and their icons still reminds me of the horrible pre-android samsung smartphones. Also why the hell would anyone choose something best described as comic sans-like on the lockscreen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GottaProblemBro:
Touché.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zittoro:
Yeah i don't like the theme but i have to get used to it since samsung has made so many useful features based on touchwiz. I wouldn't buy any samsung phones with touchwiz if they make the phones with htc-like weird bootloaders and complex hardware structure. I think those are win-win for htc and samsung
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jeremytn86:
I have had most types of phones and I would say it is a tie for me between this and a Sony so I would go Sony, very developer friendly as of late, probably more so than any...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] T-Keith:
I'm really surprised by all the IPhone and S4 responses. To me, the Nexus series represents the antithesis of those phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
I don't think you should be that surprised, the S4 offers a way better hardware experience than practically all other android devices including nexus devices. Sure there is touchwiz but that can be dealt with in a multitude of ways. Touchwiz isnt exactly a completely horrific thing, there are benefits to some aspects of touchwiz which stock android does not provide.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Soldier 2.0:
Samsung devices with touchwiz are bloated. They are the anti Nexus.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
You could also argue that the nexus is bare. Some aspects of touchwiz are beneficial while others are detrimental to the devices performance. Either way you still have options to get rid of it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] T-Keith:
How is the s4 way better than the HTC one or xperia z?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zittoro:
Galaxy s series=phones with the best hardware when it comes out

This is the basic formula in the world till now. For software, really useful touchwiz-only stuff plus all of the fancy but useless features explain that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jeremytn86:
The DNA and xperia z have awesome specs as far as hardware...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
It was my fault for not being specific enough, I should have said S4,One,Z all offer a better hardware experience than nexus devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mohnishh:
Any other Android with the specs and looks that I like, then root it and strip off the bloat ware.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FC1032:
* HTC one Google edition

* xperia z Google edition (if confirmed)

* xphone ?

* probably a windows phone after that (Nokia eos)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fushla:
I'd fly over to america and ask why would they do something like that..

To be honest, it would be pretty hard for me.. I once liked HTC, but that just went away.. Samsung, not really.. Sony, oh hell no! Nokia, only 3310.. I would just buy the latest nexus that arrived, including a few more just as a backup... :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NonStopSales:
Motorola minus their blur skin overlay seems like the best choice with great battery life. But seems like the HTC one and Samsung 4 Goolgle editions are sounding very tempting right about now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I wound up picking up a One, and I think this is the direction I would have run with. Nevertheless, Motorola's X phone continues to intrigue me from the shadows. There are certainly AOSP ROMs for a lot of devices out there (and to the person who earlier said HTC phones no longer have S-OFF, what planet have you been on?), but they don't work quite as well as a Nexus. There's also something to be said for the generally understated, sleek design the Nexus phones have sported so far, which I've come to really enjoy.

That said, SIV was appealing to me for some time (it's a refined SIII-- not amazing looking still, but much easier on the eyes), and I'd love to try Sony were it not for disliking their software so much. Sometimes, the less tinkering, the better (which is why I certainly understand the people who might look into jumping for iOS).

Stock Android can really be left alone as well as it can be customized.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SocalTeknique:
Blackeberry or a Nokia Lumia phone (eos?) ain't touching an iCrap phone. Then again Cyanogen will save the day. Nexus phones suck in cameras and features (stock) anyways.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
I'm hoping the nexus 5 changes that or I'm jumping ship.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SocalTeknique:
Yep same here, I decided to skip the N4 because its just a GNexus with an LCD, faster processor, same crappy camera quality (now with more pixels!!!) And super fragile body.

My GNexus has survived up to 8 foot drops (with a case), aggressive mountain biking and two weeks ago went along with me on Six Flags roller coasters (X2 anyone?) in my rear pocket. Its a tough little guy with hardly any scratches. Hopefully the N5 is as though and good locking with a kickass camera.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmajpwc:
I already left and picked up a Maxx HD. Best decision ever, at least for battery. At this point, while timely updates are incredibly important to me, battery life is my top priority after having the Nexus for a year and a half. It feels so good not having to worry about battery or not even having to charge on a daily basis- THIS is how all smartphones should be. And hopefully with the way Motorola is going, this phone will get even closer to stock android or receive a version of stock android itself. Oh, and the build quality is fantastic. I haven't held a phone feeling this solid since my Eris way back when.

And even then, with the bootloader being unlocked now, the development section has picked up considerably.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] waf4545:
Looks like I'm stuck with Gnex since Google ain't dealing with CDMA carriers. Samsung hurry up with the Note 3 ;)

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] freearcher:
Yes, I agree with you.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Bladerunner1825us:
I think once its widely available they will split it off like they did for the N7 3G. It probably wouldn't hurt to have the GT-N5100 thread also.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] lazzy:
Hmmm .... no respond from moderators.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Holywolf:
Does Note 8 LTE not going to have any dev support? Does LTE based ROM more troublesome that the 3G counterparts?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] DozenMadder:
My bet is that development comes in full force. Att is offering such a sweet bundle deal on the N1520 that its hard to resist picking it up when you buy either the Note2 or the SGS4. Speaking of those two LTE devices, look at all the developent they are getting!

Patience...

As for separate threads:

I wouldn't bet on it until after the proliferation of development makes it hard to navigate within the existing shared thread.

Edit:

My mistake, looks like the Note8 that att has a deal on is the I467 not the N5120 (just checked in About Device).

Where are the N5120's coming from?

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Slipurson:
+1 from me also, problem is that we need some devs to own a LTE-device and then also develop for it. A thread is good and all, but it wont magicaly make ROMS and Mods appear :)

And hopefully now that Samsung released 4.2.2 for the N5120 we might see some more things pop up :)

In singapore, we only sell 5110 or 5120 model... haha... there isnt any 5100 model for us....

On a side note, i would strongly recommend all users of 5100 + 5120 models to buy Sony SBH52... its not released yet, but it would make a great complement to our device...
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Slipurson:
I just want to say that I will keep an eye on the devscene for our beloved 5120's and will keep everything i find for it posted in THIS thread :)

Although I would love to see more development for the international N5120 I am delighted that we can root our devices and install a custom recovery. Thank you to those responsible - I am grateful.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] cheryanne:
Rooting opens up so many possibilities...

Install the Xposed framework and try a few of the modules - you can tweak until it feels like you've installed a custom rom. Use Titanium Backup to freeze and then delete all the stuff you don't want so you're running a lean machine. Find and flash the best modem for your carrier / country.

Oh and make sure you install a custom recovery before you do anything (for safety's sake).

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] kinextions:
Two days with the phone. Do I need to root yet?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] eMZi0767:
Depends what you need. If this is your first Android device, better get to know the OS before rooting. If you have rooted an android device you own(ed) before, you might give it a shot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] kinextions:
Rooted before with the HTC but I'm not sure how much different the galaxy is to root.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] flu13:
I'll tell you this: I've rooted my last three phones, now, and the S4 was exponentially easier to root than the other two (Evo Shift and Moment). I used Chainfire's CF Auto Root, and as the thread on it tells you, if it takes you more than 30 seconds, you just need practice.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] shotty53:
I rooted my phone the moment the option came out. Now its a matter of testing out the roms until i find the right one.

I would at least root and remove as much bloatware as possible.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheeWolf:
I have a friend who owns an Atrix that wants to flash JB.

He installed CWM recovery and because of that, he now has a few files in his internal sd-card in the clockworkmod folder:

recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-olympus.img (download folder)

.nomedia

.salted_hash

.settings

He wants to format his internal sdcard before flashing Jelly bean but he fears that deleting these files will cause CWM to stop working. Will that really happen or can he format without concern?

If he can't, is there a problem to format after flashing Jelly bean?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SimplicityApks:
I don't understand your problem, if you wipe data/factory reset in CWM it will of course not delete itself xD

First, make sure you do a back up, then usually you put the Rom in the external sd card, wipe data and dalvik and flash the rom and GApps. But it doesn't matter if you wipe data after flashing for most Roms.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] mcvpjd3:
I've got a small problem with some XDA IIs phones I just got. If I do a hard reset, left the O2 software run and install all the stuff it needs and then install the syncrologic client we need for the PDA's to replicate with our Lotus Notes servers the device just seems to be slower that a slow thing thats very slow. ie opening the battery meter program can take 5 minutes.

If I do a hard reset and when I've done the digitiser and cutting and pasting etc.... if I do a soft reset before the O2 configuration software runs then installing the syncrologic client it all works fine.... except.... some of the software that O2 installs is needed, like album, for playing the MP4's, etc....

So, does anyone know where I can find this software? Presumably there is a copy in the ROM somewhere, is there any way to see and get a copy of the software?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] edsub:
The software youre refering to is in the Extended ROM.

The Extended ROM can be unveiled by the Extended ROM tools, available from this site (try search).

By unhiding the Extended ROM you can run (install) any program that is in it.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] mcvpjd3:
Thanks - glad there is something that will do that... however, searching at the front page brings up quite a few rom tools, but nothing that I can see that just "unlocks" it for me to see and run apps from the ROM....

Maybe you could point me to something specific for a newbie...

Thanks

Tried in Galaxy Y

--------------------

I am having my Galaxy Y, which was having the Pattern lock issue where the number of attempts had exceeded and hence wanted to authenticate through my gmail account. The Phone is not having data connection (both data and wifi is switched off) hence unable to authenticate.

I tried this procedure in my phone and all went successfully OK. Once I rebooted the device what I have seen is the same email authentication on the display while I was expecting the pattern lock screen.

Could you help me whether we need to try with some other code to even remove the email authentication?

However thanks for this post.
