[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] OmnipotentPilot:
So now that we've got built-in wireless charging, I think it's time for some cool official wireless chargers. This is the idea I had:

(side view and front view)

This charger would allow you to use your new Nexus 7 as a clock while it's charging. Drop it onto the dock, and it stands up and makes it easy to read from across the room and easy to quickly grab when it's done charging. Matte black would look nice, with a basic white indicator light that turns on when the device is charging and turns off when it's done.​
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] OrangeFlash81:
That's pretty neat, but I have a nice addition to that: the tablet slides in and down into the cradle, and there's a hole where the Pulse LED is so you can see if you have notifications; that would be instead of a light to indicate charging.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] OmnipotentPilot:
I like that :D Now I just need to be better at drawing :P
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] michaelg1030:
Rather have a landscape dock.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] richrecruiter:
Nice idea. The only downside of the new N7 is I was used to keeping the old one docked neatly at my bedside. Probably have to wait 6 months for a dock to come out.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] RojasTKD:
Agreed.

Or one that can be used either portrait or landscape ( I can see a use for either).
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] nicodemu5:
this would actually be really nice, charge my tablet while browsing the internet or playing games, like the concept :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] sen-cha:
This idea is neat. I would like to see it for both vertical and horizontal viewing. In another thread I said a stand should have some weight so it does not move easy. Or it could have no slip on the bottom.
[Ubuntu Touch Development and Hacking] dholbach:
These are very exciting times for Ubuntu Touch. Not only is the Ubuntu Edge, an Ubuntu super-phone, being funded right now, but we are also making lots of progress on getting Ubuntu running perfectly on phones and tablets near you.

I blogged about this a couple of times now, but Ubuntu Touch has been ported to LOTS of devices in the meantime. If we consult our Touch Devices list, there are 45 working ports, with 30 more in progress, and across 21 different brands. This is awesome. Now it’s time to bring all of them into the fold.

There are two things we have to do:

Update some of the ports to the flipped container model. This switch has been happening over the last couple of weeks, but we’re there now. Android bits now run on top of an Ubuntu container. Some of the images still need to be updated to benefit from this.

Enable the ports in phablet-flash. Yes, you read correctly. Since the announce of the Touch preview, we only supported four devices (Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, Nexus 7 and Nexus 10). We always wanted to make it easier to flash all other devices too, and now we’re almost there: If you as an image maintainer make some information available, phablet-flash will soon be able to pick it up.

Updating your image to the new world order is something we are discussing today, 1st August, in #ubuntu-touch on irc.freenode.net. We are having an Ubuntu Touch Porting Clinic today. So bring your device, your questions and we’ll help you get set up for the new image formats.

If you want your images to be supported by phablet-flash, that can be easily arranged too. Follow this process, to document how the flashing of your image works. Check out the latest branch of phablet-flash (not yet landed in trunk) to try out if your image works: lp:~sergiusens/phablet-tools/flash_change.

As always: if you have any questions, talk to us on #ubuntu-touch on irc.freenode.net or on the ubuntu-phone mailing list.

I think I've figured out my issues. The first is that as far as I can tell I cannot run All Share Cast on my Rooted AT&T S3. Also even though I'm paying for tether I cannot use it again because my service is T-Mobile but my phone is from AT&T.

So my first question is is their a ROM somewhere that would allow me to run a rooted version of 4.1 on my AT&T phone, but configured for Tmobile? Second would that ROM also allow All Share Cast.

My two biggest issues are I need tether for work, and I need All Share Cast for ARLibrator for my App Radio. If I have to choose, I would choose tether.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi,

I really hope someone can help, after installing CyanogenMod my xperia no loger gets past the opening screen which has the round circle animation with CyanogenMod in the middle.

I can get into recovery so if someone could provide ideally either a stock rom or possibly instructions on how to get past this it would be greatly appreciated.

I've looked for a stock rom but can't seem to find one.

BTW this is a SGP321 model

Thanks in advance

I do have a follow on question, if that's ok, can i load your recommended 10.2 version or the stock rom after installing cyo 10.1.2?

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] troyyi:
Hey guys, long time XDA viewer but first time poster. I am a college student currently with the ipad mini. I use my tablet mainly for textbooks since my campus takes up to 30 minutes to walk across and I would hate to lug around huge textbooks for biochemistry and the like all day. My ipad mini is decent for textbooks, the width allows me to view text fine. But I was wondering what your opinions were using the N72 for textbook viewing. It is narrower but the resolution is higher so maybe text would be easier to read?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] TaintedByte:
I find it great. I haven't used an actual textbook file but I do have a PDF of comp science and it's awesome for that. Also I read eBooks on it daily. If using Google Play App you can even adjust the font size to make it bigger/smaller (which all epub/pdfs files can be uploaded to Play Books through the website).

Let me take a picture of an eBook on the tablet next to a real book. 1 sec.

EDIT: Here you go.

Here is the tablet next to a real book, notice the text is just as readable (book has larger font than eBook but that can be adjusted):

And here is a close up of the text to see how crisp it is:

Sorry for subpar pics, they were taken with my Nexus 4 in my low lighting room.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] troyyi:
The display looks brilliant! Wow, I did not know about that functionality in play books. I will definitely test it out and purchase a N7 if it works well. Haha I'm pretty excited to ditch my boring mini...

How exactly do you alter the font size? Maybe I am being a little unobservant here or is this only possible for epub versions?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] TaintedByte:
I think it might only be available for epubs. Apparently my comp science is epub as well, thought it was PDF. Either way just tap the middle of the screen and press the "Aa" button, it will let you change the font size if PDF also supports it. You can also change the text alignment, background color, font and line height.

Ahh I see. I guess I can always convert the files and read them that way. I'll definitely look into it when i get back to the states. Thanks a lot Tainted!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] FormeriPhoney:
I had a question regarding books. My wife uses the Kindle app to read books on my tablet. I usually convert the books to pdf and drop them in the Kindle folder.

What is the best way to use the Google Play app to read her books? Convert? Will they just open or do they need to be dropped somewhere?

Thanks
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] TaintedByte:
The only way to read non-Google Play books in the Play Books app is to upload them through the website. You can upload any PDF or ePUB file here: https://play.google.com/books/uploads

It will automatically show up on all your devices logged in to your account.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] FormeriPhoney:
Thank you sir.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] dhuewes:
For PDF font size adjustment you have to use some app with text reflow capability.

I use EasyPDF Reader - the best in class in my opinion.

For ebooks I use Moon Reader, which also can read PDF files.

There is no native TRIM support in Android 4.1.2 because it was introduced for the first time in Android 4.3:

Hello everyone.

I have it unlocked with htcdev.com (S-ON).

I would like to try the Google edition, and I saw I can download the file from HTCDev.

I was just wondering how can I do it... is it like a normal rom? download file copy to "sd" and flash?

Do I need to do anything else?

after I have the Google edition, will I be able to receive official updates? (OTA)

my HTC one is originaly with sense, will there be any issue if I use the GE instead?

Im ok flashing a "normal" rom... but this seems to take a lot more work.

So, just to see if I understand correctly:

1 get soff following

2 change my MID to PN0712000

3 change my CID to GOOGL001 (but instead of GOOGL001 i can use 11111111 ? why should I chose one over the other? any benefits?)

4 then reboot and flash Full conversion RUU ZIP (in the end of the guide)

to flash the Full conversion RUU ZIP i have to run the following commands right? not by using recorery "install zip from sd card"

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip RUU-HTC_One_GE-2.14.1700.15.zip

fastboot flash zip RUU-HTC_One_GE-2.14.1700.15.zip

fastboot reboot

Where do I run these commands?

Last thing, will I be able to receive OTA updates from google?

with S-OFF you can change the CID later if you want. i personally havent flashed the Google bootloader because i want to switch between sense and google and everything still works fine

Hi everyone,

I have done some Google searching into this and so far have found nothing. I have searched this forum and have also not brought back any results (I use my mobile mostly and the search feature on the app doesn't seem to bring back many relevant results)

I found this thread:

Is that the case or is there more to it than that?

Also when I do try to change the files (as the thread posted says) I do not have permissions. I'm going to look into the permissions but my main question is about changing the lock/unlock sounds.

Thanks to anyone who can shed some light on this.

Changing lock screen sounds for non rooted /stock roms for HTC One.

Hi there.

If anyone is still interested, I just found another way to change the lock/unlock screen sounds for non-rooted HTC ONEs. (I have the chinese version dual sim 802w)

Download the Lock Screen Sounds app free (also known as noisylock'd) and select an mp3 file from either your music file, ringtone or notification folder.

Now, for me, I've had a HTC desire z for the last 3 years and I absolutely adore it and I really liked the lock & unlock screen sound on it. So using the file manager,

1) From my HTC desire z, I copied the lock/unlock.ogg files from the systems folder and paste it in my media folder on the sd card.

2) Dragged it onto my pc and converted it into mp3 files online>

media.io

(found this site extremely straight forward and easy to use)

3) On my HTC One, I copied/dragged the saved mp3s onto internal storage>media or notification folder. (can save on external sd card too)

4) Tap on the app which now says noisylock'd and switch it on.

5) Tap on the first selection for unlock sound and navigate to where your mp3 file is and select it. Then tick the box to the left to activate.

6) Do the same for the third selection which is for the lock screen. (For some reason the middle selection wouldn't work).

This didn't work straight away and was abit fiddly when I tried to press to select the file. I also had to restart/switch off a few times before it finally worked properly. Now I have the same lock/unlock sound as my beloved, almost retired htc desire z:D:D:D hehehe...oh, and it's louder than the original stock sound.

On a different subject, I have a spare htc desire z on android 2.1 or 2.2 which I would like to upgrade to 2.3.3.

I want to attempt my first rooting of a phone so if anyone would be so kind to point me to the right forum link or have a beginners guide specifically for the htc desire Z? This spare one is a bit dodgy, think it's a software problem but thought I could try experimenting with it so even if it bricks, I won't be so upset:p Thanks in advance.

I don't mean literally, well, it takes 5 minutes to make your old ice cream sandwich a jb 4.3 look, You wish! THIS ONLY MAKES THE "ABOUT PHONE" SECTION SHOW WHATEVER ANDROID VERSION YOU WANT.

SO LET'S GET THAT STARTED

First thing u wanna do is to download FX File Explorer AND The root add-on to your android phone from the Play Store (both are free)

Then, Open FX (don't open text edit yet!) Click "System (root)" (or however it is put) click on system, then at the very bottom (right) you will find a file named build.prop.

Now you need to make sure if its mounted read and write. Check the lock at the top. If it is closed click on it, There should be a popup. Check "I understand the risk, then click ok (or whatever that is)

NOW CAREFULLY!Click Build.prop, at the bottom click file --> Open with editor

Find The Line That Says ro.build.version.release=4.0.3

Then Edit the 4.0.3 with anything you like, like 5.0 (key lime pie)

Now file --> Save, then reboot.

Yes, go to Settings --> About Device --> Android Version
