I feel trolled...

But at least the "Hammerhead" Factory Image is out in open, if anyone "deconstruct" it, will be able to reach the inside needed files for the system.

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=pt-BR#hammerheadkrt16m
[Nexus 4 General] jcmaddox1:
I have it completely deconstructed. What do you need me to upload?

Message me on Hangouts with what you need.

Email is Jcmaddox1@gmail.com
[Nexus 4 General] Gnome:
Done syncing the 4.4 source, building at the moment. Hopefully it works. And waiting for the GApps to be uploaded by the other guy. ;)

Hmmm, I have a feeling that this will finish BUT, I also have a hunch that it might not boot since there are no 4.4 binaries yet. But let's see...
[Nexus 4 General] blackpaw78:
exactly :D
[Nexus 4 General] jcmaddox1:
Welp, i've sent him the files he was asking for. Let's see if this build will come together!
[Nexus 4 General] pspunderground:
4.4's been built for the 2013 N7, no official binaries (I presume). Maybe we'll get some luck without them too.

I ate three packs of kitkats for good luck guys :D
[Nexus 4 General] badboy47:
*finger crossed*
[Nexus 4 General] biernut:
Build errors :crying:

I'll re-sync and try again, but it doesn't look like it's ready just yet.
[Nexus 4 General] blackpaw78:
I love the developers at xda <3
[Nexus 4 General] badboy47:
Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail.
[Nexus 4 General] Gnome:
What we're your errors? And which part of it was building?
[Nexus 4 General] wngmv:
Have a cup of Cappuccino while you guys are working hard.
[Nexus 4 General] BeyondExistence:
I've actually been building this for a while now, I'm doing it on a dual core Celeron with 4GB of RAM so it would take at least 4 hours and I don't know when I started it but when it does finish I'll be sure to let you guys know if there's any success.
[Nexus 4 General] biernut:
string errors in shared_intermediaries for chromium

doesn't appear to be due to the old binaries, which is the good news

compiling again, with ccache now ;)
[Nexus 4 General] BlackKnights:
Per Franco 4.4 is still using 3.4.x:

goo.gl/ 5ZqB5A

^ Space added after / to get around spam block
[Nexus 4 General] Gnome:
Nice, anyways mine is past chromium already and beginning with the Apps.
[Nexus 4 General] PhantomGamers:
you building straight aosp? :D
[Nexus 4 General] biernut:
excellent, I may have started building before the repo was ready :p
[Nexus 4 General] kowcop:
How big was your out directory when it stopped? Mine looks like it is about 50% done
[Nexus 4 General] Gnome:
Yup AOSP.

Edit: Ok, error at Launcher.apk, I'll re sync again, if this is still the error, there might be an error with the Launcher.
[Nexus 4 General] biernut:
Well past 50%, nearly done with the build. Out directory is 18.1gb.

This is the error:

---------- Post added at 08:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:41 PM ----------

Aww that sucks, thought you had it. You building using default toolchain?
[Nexus 4 General] Gnome:
Wait, Damn! I was building with SM Toolchain. Lol! I'll build it using default now. Hope this finishes.

I'll try to re-sync repo on another folder. try this repo method for people who have a source directory already

mkdir ~/kitkat
cd ~/kitkat
repo sync --reference=~/NAME OF YOUR CURRENT SOURCE TREE -u https:/android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-4.4_r1
repo sync

That'll sync a clean repo in minutes(depending on your connection) but it'll be faster than the usual syncing. ;)
[Nexus 4 General] rock_shen:
Cool, the AOSP android-4.4_r1 works fine on Nexus 4.
[Nexus 4 General] TurkishXDA:
PLS Share with us i cant wait google :((
[Nexus 4 General] biernut:
I'm going to force it to 4.7 and try again. If not, maybe I'll give Linaro 4.8 a go.
[Nexus 4 General] jcmaddox1:
Can't tell if fake...
[Nexus 4 General] biernut:
Radio not working, or no SIM?
[Nexus 4 General] extremetempz:
Share it Bro Everyone is waiting :D
[Nexus 4 General] panicozxb:
No rom sounds like edited build.prop for the info and exposed framework for the main screen...
[Nexus 4 General] 0.0:
Looks like a fake. Messaging app is still there. Isn't hangouts the new SMS app?

sent from my Nexus 7
[Nexus 4 General] MameTozhio:
Hangouts isn't open source, from what I know.

But why are the icons still old ones o.o

*is confused*
[Nexus 4 General] rootuser11:
what's up with phone / sms apps?
[Nexus 4 General] pspunderground:
Those come default in AOSP, Google apps are closed source. And it's legit, build number and kernel matches 4.4
[Nexus 4 General] Gnome:
Ok someone beat us to it. Haven't tried it yet but here's the link: CLICK ME!!!
[Nexus 4 General] jcmaddox1:
If it's legit then why isn't he saying anything like "Okay ill upload the build"
[Nexus 4 General] panicozxb:
PUM!!! FATALITY!! great appreciation
[Nexus 4 General] PhantomGamers:
I'm not saying it's fake but that doesn't make it real
[Nexus 4 General] pspunderground:
Well, he did post it 10 minutes ago. Upload could certainly take longer than that.
[Nexus 4 General] jcmaddox1:
Are we forgetting that photoshop exists?

---------- Post added at 05:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:06 AM ----------

It could, but he could tell us if he's uploading easily.
[Nexus 4 General] PhantomGamers:
or any root text editor in android
[Nexus 4 General] biernut:
Well at least we know its possible LOL
[Nexus 4 General] jcmaddox1:
It could, but he could tell us if he's uploading easily.
[Nexus 4 General] pspunderground:
We'll see if it's the real deal soon enough.
[Nexus 4 General] headcreepz:
Thanks for the link!! Downloading now
[Nexus 4 General] GeknGekn:
We will see in 1 2 3 .......
[Nexus 4 General] TurkishXDA:
No one tried yet?
[Nexus 4 General] pspunderground:
Here are the Kit Kat GApps. http://d-h.st/EIM
[Nexus 4 General] Nethojs29:
Gonna flash it now with multirom... Hope my nexus doesn't die lol
[Nexus 4 General] biernut:
A couple of us here are running into build errors.
[Nexus 4 General] badboy47:
lol so i downloaded that and let see whats inside....it seems fishy. 2nd picture from gapps.
[Nexus 4 General] atxhardrocker23:
We will see lol I'm downloading now
[Nexus 4 General] Rohit02:
do post the review.. what is working and what not. :good:

Is it a flashable zip? can I flash it on Slimbean?
[Nexus 4 General] PhantomGamers:
they all do that... their dates get set when they're signed, this is good.
[Nexus 4 General] Gafanhotz:
So I decided to go on a suicide mission (at 1AM, having to wake up at 5AM...) and try that "working build". I can't seem to wait for Google, so you guys can count on me... If it works, screenshots in a while.
[Nexus 4 General] rock_shen:
Radio works fine. this picture is no SIM.
[Nexus 4 General] blackpaw78:
doing the same here :D
[Nexus 4 General] bttfpromo:
I'm free until 1 PM tomorrow. I'll try it as well, but I need to install CWM on mine first.
[Nexus 4 General] mluu921:
hey guys - long time lurker here

I just tried flashing the build from TWRP, and can confirm it fails to install. Maybe someone else will have better luck.
[Nexus 4 General] MameTozhio:
going to try but my internet is horribly slow as I'm downloading 3 things, and it's just generally slow.
[Nexus 4 General] PhantomGamers:
i have my own build going, haven't messed with aosp in a while but if it builds successfully and boots i'll upload it (albeit i'm sure someone will beat me to the punch, assuming the build going around now actually doesn't work)
[Nexus 4 General] Gafanhotz:
So... I flashed and say what... It's 4.3.1 modified.

XPOSED framework wasn't supposed to work on it, since it doesn't "support" 4.4 yet. (I played with it to see if the framework was really a 4.4 framework or not. If it was, it would fukkup the system.)

So... We're screwed until someone from here (XDA) can build it up. Look at the disgrace I am, 2% battery and flashing fishy things.
[Nexus 4 General] Gnome:
LOL! Ok then, I'm still building it as we speak... Let's get it going!!!
[Nexus 4 General] BurnRubber90:
So, its a 4.3.1 build with some 4.4 apps?
[Nexus 4 General] TurkishXDA:
Gnome i cant flash your build its failed at twrp screen
[Nexus 4 General] Gafanhotz:
Counting on you! :D

Only the GApps. The "system apps" are completely bullsh*t.
[Nexus 4 General] jcmaddox1:
Why dont you share that build..
[Nexus 4 General] MameTozhio:
*cancels download*

:D Now I can get to downloading stock hammerhead system images!
[Nexus 4 General] Nethojs29:
So yeah... I took a while because I was kinda afraid and also didnt know how to flash gapps to a side rom... Waiting to see if the other one cooking here works :D
[Nexus 4 General] B Dizzle:
Nandroid saves the day lol. Waiting for the real deal.
[Nexus 4 General] Gnome:
Haha! That's not mine mate.
[Nexus 4 General] GeknGekn:
It's working and it's not fake atleast.

But it's the old launcher!

Otherwise it seems to run just fine :)
[Nexus 4 General] biernut:
Any luck with default toolchain?

I've tried forcing 4.7, same error.

I'm trying Linaro 4.8 now.
[Nexus 4 General] BurnRubber90:
Pretty sure the launcher comes with KitKat Gapps :D.
[Nexus 4 General] AlexWekell:
Edit: I'm stupid
[Nexus 4 General] Gnome:
Yeah its building, but I resynced on a different folder so It might take awhile.

Here are some 4.4 Apps I got: CLICK ME!!! you need to install google now from the zip in order for launcher to work.
[Nexus 4 General] jcmaddox1:
How the hell? Mine gives me a flash failed
[Nexus 4 General] churchey360:
Got this working perfectly on my s4 check it out. http://phandroid.com/2013/10/31/download-and-install-the-new-google-experience-launcher/
[Nexus 4 General] sub1287:
Same here but sounds like its not worth it anyways.

from my PSX/PSK [n⁴]
[Nexus 4 General] jcmaddox1:
Its 4.4 with the old launcher - You can install the new launcher and new apps - It still ahs all the lowe memory optimizations and whatnot
[Nexus 4 General] BxingFetus:
Does 4.4 have a new bootloader/radio for the nexus 4?

Sent From a Slim Sexy Nexy
[Nexus 4 General] Gafanhotz:
Probably, but I only saw it comes on previous versions with the Factory Images.
[Nexus 4 General] sub1287:
Yeah when its actually released for us.

from my PSX/PSK [n⁴]
[Nexus 4 General] kowcop:
my build is still chugging along.. 2 1/2 hrs in
[Nexus 4 General] bttfpromo:
It looks like the real deal, just need to download apps and the launcher
[Nexus 4 General] jcmaddox1:
You need to flash it in CWM. TWRP will fail.

Source is me. failed in twrp but sucessful in CWM
[Nexus 4 General] sub1287:
As much as I want to check out kit kat I'm not going to switch to cwm. Anyone get it to flash on TWRP?

from my PSX/PSK [n⁴]
[Nexus 4 General] atxhardrocker23:
I flashed in multi ROM twrp worked perfect for me
[Nexus 4 General] B Dizzle:
Flashed with cwm and worked fine. Installed launcher from the N5 dump. Running great and nothing appears to be broken. Surprised!
[Nexus 4 General] TurkishXDA:
Which buil are u flashed?
[Nexus 4 General] blackpaw78:
Maybe google didnt release it to the public, to see how fast the developers could get it xD, anyways its going to be even better once we get the new binaries and such in the official release.
[Nexus 4 General] jokkir:
Any links for those builds?
[Nexus 4 General] pspunderground:
Nope, worked on TWRP. Also, SuperSU works. It's ****ing beautiful.

[Nexus 5 General] Gormsen:
So I just wrote this little guide on how to buy the Nexus 5 when living outside UK, US, Germany etc. If you don't know someone in that given country, then Google will be your friend. There are plenty services on the internet which will recieve and ship products for you.

If this does not belong here, then mods feel free to move it.

1. First you need to download the Tor client/package. Here: https://www.torproject.org/download/download-easy.html.en

Go for the browser bundle, it makes everything much easier.

Unpack it and move it to you desktop (for convenience) - Open the client by clicking the icon "Start Tor Browser.exe"

2. Now you have to configure the client to work with exitnodes. This is done in settings. First check this:

Then click this and check all six options.

So far so good. Now exit the client, close it completely.

3. The next thing you'll have to do is finding the fingerprints you want to use. I used fingerprints from the UK, 'cause I wanted to buy the Nexus 5 on the UK Playstore.

Go to this page for fingerprints: http://torstatus.blutmagie.de/index.php?SR=CountryCode&SO=Asc

You can sort the different nodes as you want to. Now choose 3 from the desired country. Just for the convenience of it, lets say UK.

Click the name of the router to access it like in the pic, choose a router with long uptime, since they are more reliable.

Then copy the Fingerprint into Word, Notepad or whatever.

Do this until you have three fingerprints.

4. Go back to your Folder with the Tor client. Go into the folder "Data", then the folder "Tor". You should see a file named "torrc" Right-click this and choose "Edit" (Use Notepad or Notepad++ if you have that)

Now write:

ExitNodes {insert fingerprint 1}, {insert fingerprint 2}, {insert fingerprint 3} (remember to remove the spaces in the fingerprints)

StrictNodes 1

It should look something like this.

Now save, run your Tor client again, wait for it to say "Connected to the Tor network" or something like that, It will open the browser, and you're good to go.

5. Create a new Google account with address in you chosen country, in this case UK.

6. Open your normal browser (Chrome, Firefox etc.) and go to wallet.google.com

Input you credit card details, still with the same address as before.

(I did it this way, because I don't fully trust the Tor network..)

7. Go back into the Tor browser.

Apparently Google has beefed up their security, so we have to change this last step. Sn00ky was able to order from Germany, look below:

Go to https://play.google.com/store/devices

Order Nexus 5

Profit

Hope you enjoyed my little guide, if it doesn't work, you have done something wrong. But don't worry, just delete the folder, unpack it again and start over. This is far easier than finding out what you did wrong.

Also some fingerprints don't work, like Torland1 and Torland2 from UK.

Angelvg has written a guide on how to use Openvpn, it's in Spanish though :)

Please hit the Thanks button if you found this helpful :)
[Nexus 5 General] Griffrez:
I'm from Portugal. I understood most of the guide, but, you said I'd have to put the address for UK. How do I put the address in a way that it comes to me?!

Or is this guide for people who are from the UK, US, etc. but aren't there at the moment?

EDIT: Stupid me, quoting the OP.
[Nexus 5 General] shrewdgeek:
Use services like borderlinx.com or others to ship first to UK and then to portugal.Borderlinx gives you a temporary UK address and then you give your home address to borderlinx.First Nexus 5 arrives at borderlinx and then it sends to you for shipping charges..

I dont know if you also need a UK credit card with UK billing address..

I am from sweden and have also place order for the 16GB Nexus 5 using borderlinx and entropay but dont know if google will accept the card...Lets hope it accepts
[Nexus 5 General] Griffrez:
I hear services like Borderlinx sometimes tend to charge absurd taxes.

My sister has some friends over at France, but, they'll only come on Christmas, and I don't know if I want to wait that long. xP
[Nexus 5 General] AppReviewBros:
Hmm.. I actually have a VPN that I can use to change my IP, however, won't I need a credit card from the UK, too?
[Nexus 5 General] Griffrez:
I think Google Play Devices only accepts IPs from one of the countries, then it needs an address and a credit card that has its address as also from that country. So IP registered in the UK (for example), Credit Card registered in the UK, and the package must be sent to the UK.
[Nexus 5 General] AppReviewBros:
Delivering the package to UK would not be a problem as I'd use a service called forward2me, though the credit card is an issue now.

Hmmm... and people on ebay are selling for insanely high prices.

Reading the old thread at Nexus 4 forums it seems like you really need a credit card that matches the shipping address.

You know what, I may as well use personal shopper to buy it faster.
[Nexus 5 General] Gormsen:
Nope, I used my Visa, which is an international card, it worked just fine :)

You will need an English address to ship to, so use one of the suggested services.

Remember, in order to access the UK Playstore, you need to create a new Google account, when logged into Tor, on the VPN or whatever service you use.. well, at least I had to.
[Nexus 5 General] AppReviewBros:
Oh, so it actually worked for you!

I wonder why you had to create a new account though? Did you try ordering with your personal account first?
[Nexus 5 General] Gormsen:
Yeah, tried that a couple of weeks ago, and even though everything else was as it should be, I simply could not access the UK Playstore. So I tried creating a new account, and Bam, it worked :D
[Nexus 5 General] brealorg:
If you want LTE on your phone, please do check that the US or international version supports your local LTE-band.
[Nexus 5 General] Gormsen:
I know, that's why I ordered from UK instead of USA. Also why I used UK in my guide ;)
[Nexus 5 General] shrewdgeek:
Even i have ordered but used entropay.com to pay (virtual credit card)

Is your order processed or pending ? I still think they can decline the card when they process the order because it being having a different billing address (not in UK)

I think the same can happen with my order.
[Nexus 5 General] Gormsen:
It's Pending, but read in one of the other threads, that it is normal until the order has been shipped :)

I know that they still can cancel, but I'm thinking they won't since Visa is a international card.

Guess we'll just have to wait til 5th to find out ;)
[Nexus 5 General] AppReviewBros:
Hey, I just ordered without any problems, however, I may have done a mistake.

I accidentally ticked the box that assumes my billing address is the same as the shipping one. Now, I used the address that the forwarding company gave me. Do you think Google will see this and cancel the order?

EDIT: After reading your guide, I guess I did it all right.
[Nexus 5 General] shrewdgeek:
My leaving warehouse date is 8th November.....

PM me if your order goes through.... ;)
[Nexus 5 General] mpikxfx:
Australia parcel forwarding company

Anyone here can recommend me an Australia parcel forwarding company similar to forward2me like in UK?
[Nexus 5 General] rockambole:
I'm looking for the same...

I found some, but all of them receives in PO Box only and I'm not sure that Google will delivery to POs...
[Nexus 5 General] madik_:
Great guide! I made an order of white 32GB Nexus 5 from german play store. Hopefully i will recieve it within 2-3 weeks since the phones are not in stock :/
[Nexus 5 General] shrewdgeek:
My 16GB black has been shipped...

Purchased from UK play store and shipping to sweden via borderlinx :)
[Nexus 5 General] Sensamic:
I asked them.

If you buy a Nexus device from another country you don't have warranty in your country.
[Nexus 5 General] jpalo:
Of course they say that if you ask it the wrong way. I bought mine while visiting Google Play country and I damn well have warranty even if using the phone abroad.

---------- Post added at 09:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:41 AM ----------

I ordered mine via mailboxde.com and all worked very nicely. Total shipping time 1,5 weeks or so.
[Nexus 5 General] Gormsen:
Sure, you have warranty, that's not what we're saying. But Googles policy does not change if you ask them in a different manner ;)
[Nexus 5 General] andreas_h92:
well, my nexus arrived at borderlinx and I paid for the shipping from uk to me :D the only thing i would like to tell you people, is that when you use forward companies like borderlinx, don't trust online cost calculators! better send them an email and ask the REAL cost. Fortunately i had only 6 euros increase which is not that much if you think that i am getting the nexus :D

as for warranty, i asked google and they told me the same things Gormsen said.

i also asked at borderlinx and they have an option of sending them the mobile, forward to google, google back to borderlinx and then back to you. but i think it will be costly
[Nexus 5 General] faldicek:
On the Czech android forum has appeared case of complaint Nexus 5 in google. In the evening I will try to translate and post insert here ...

Odesláno z N5
[Nexus 5 General] faldicek:
So to complaint 5 Nexus purchased on Google play: The device was claimed due to a defect in the display (very many dead pixels photo here:https://plus.google.com/+VojtaTlustý/posts/4kgBMgSZGub ). Helpline is not available from the Czech Republic, so the issue been solved via email. After describing the defects, Google received a complaint and via email sent the package label for UPS, they him seamlessly picked up in the Czech Republic. At the same time Google has sent to the address given in the wallet (again, via delivery service, do not send abroad) new phone and blocked money on credit card for a new phone. After arrived damaged phone to Google and they assess the defect, unlock the money on the card.
[Nexus 5 General] fortyc:
Ok, it seem there is no problem with warranty outside google play zone :good:

Because i thought it will be like this : if you buy Nexus 5 for example in Germany form "virtual address" (borderlinx etc) and you have warranty issue, than Nexus have to be sand back from the "virtual address" or they don't confirm warranty
[Nexus 5 General] faldicek:
The return address on the label for UPS is virtual (Bordelix etc.), but UPS picks up the package anywhere ...

Odesláno z tabletu :)
[Nexus 5 General] andreas_h92:
ordered on 20 Jan 2014 came today 24 January 2014. Google -> Borderlinx -> Home. Not bad, not bad at all :D :D
[Nexus 5 General] SamTheNayru:
Thanks so much for this guide! Order has already arrived on an acquaintance's adress in Germany. Can't wait till I have this awesome phone in my hands.

One little note though. I couldn't do steps 1 and 2, enabling the exit nodes thingy. I couldn't find the settings for it. But I managed to order without changing those settings, the exit nodes worked fine.
[Nexus 5 General] noorm91:
Ordered from Google Play Germany

Hello I'd say thanks for these posts which made me order Nexus 32GB!

I ordered from German Google Play, through Proxy (changed proxy in Internet Properties) and it went very well.

Ordered Saturday 25th Jan, it arrived in Germany at the forwarding company Mailboxde.com, 29th Jan. The second it got in, I paid the forwarding shipment to Sweden. 30min later Mailboxde registered the package to DHL. Now i'm waiting for it to arrive to my postal office.

It went really smooth I would recommend this way, it's cheaper than ordering from the UK Play store.

399€ + 9,99€ (Google Play) + 18,16€ (Mailboxde.com, could have gotten it cheaper but I chose Priority + 500€ insurance)

Total: 427,15€

In Sweden this phone costs 500€ (not including the shipping cost + very few in stock)
[Nexus 5 General] jimifilth:
Mailboxde.com?

I ordered from German Play Store today through TunnelBear, and now I wonder, what would you recommend choosing in Mailboxde.com to ship to Finland? What is cheapest, but still safe, so to say? Waiting is no problem.

Thank you!
