[Project Ara General] qwerty_man:
How do you define "enough resources" and "fast development"? I mean, we're talking about Google here. (One of) the biggest tech company in the world working on a concept dating back from 2011 (see wiki). They've been working on ARA since 2013. If they'd take it seriously they have virtually unlimited resources both in terms of money as well as material, access to high-tech production facilities, labs and most importantly: an almost unlimited pool of the best of the best engineers in the world.

Now again, with all of that in mind. You don't find it surprising that after 3 years they still haven't been able to build a product? Or even a demonstration of a fully working functional prototype? Or even just a limited prototypes to send out to previewers/bloggers? You think they actually did put all of their best effort into this? That's just laughable IMO. Sure modular phones are a hard thing to design and develop, but it shouldn't take a company with that many resources that long if they actually took it very seriously and made it a high priority.

Also the fact that very little hardware developers get a hardware development kit (or even a reply to their request for a dev-kit) doesn't personally make my feelings to ARA any better.

A little nuance here: that 2015 release-date existed for at least a year. They cancelled the release at the last-minute and moved it to "maybe" one year later: 2016. We're in 2016 now and there's not even an official exact release date yet. Do you actually believe it'll be released in 2016? I don't.

The "advanced" prototype of ARA that you talk about at Google I/O as far as I know only showed the phone booting android and using 1 feature: a camera module. That's not an "advanced" demo or prototype in any way. I would claim the opposite of you: even in 2015 they didn't have even 1 "advanced" prototype for a demo. Not even close.

Further more Google has a reputation for abandoning projects. Even popular ones. Even seemingly successful ones, even good ideas. There's even a special page for all the abandoned Google projects: http://www.lemonde.fr/pixels/visuel...rojets-google-abandonnes_4588392_4408996.html

With all of that in mind, is it very certain that Google will ever release ARA commercially? I don't think so at all. Actually I'm starting to think ARA will never ever be released. Hopefully I'm just too pessimistic, because I love the concept. Just trying to manage expectations though...

One thing is clear to me though: Google is not taking ARA as seriously as they could or IMO should. If they'd actually believe in it themselves it would have already been released long ago.

I think they just killed the keyboard, I didn't see anything resembling a front side module in that presentation...
[Project Ara General] kha1rul:
Wired have published a piece denoting that Project Ara will not be as customisable as originally intended:

Original article: http://www.wired.com/2016/05/project-ara-lives-googles-modular-phone-is-ready/

XDA analysis: http://www.xda-developers.com/project-ara-alive-and-kicking-one-step-closer-to-you/

So is a keyboard still possible? Vertically or horizontally?
[Project Ara General] lynx25:
They killed the project
[Project Ara General] problematic:
OK, Mr. doom and gloom.

I'm just as upset at the loss of full modular support, but that doesn't mean that workarounds aren't possible.

So they killed off custom processors and RAM? What if a third party is still able to make modules and we're able to override that with kernel access?

And I'm not entirely convinced yet that a keyboard module is impossible with this design. It might take some very clever design to implement.

Check out the pictures from the CNET article. A module that snaps into the big bottom slot might be able to extend out farther and be your horizontal keyboard slider.

If everybody poo-poo's the first edition and never gives it a chance, we may never see another modular phone which would be a huge loss in my eyes. I'd rather have a crappy first generation that needs a lot of hacks and workarounds than none at all.

There is now a campaign on indiegogo for a keyboard mod for Moto Z (Z has detachable rear addons, using the Linux greybus system developed for Ara).
[Java for Android App Development] downrange914:
Hi - I was wondering if I could get some assistance in an issue I'm experiencing please.

I'm trying to diagnose a particular "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped" error message and why I'm getting it - and I'm trying to use this as a stepping stone into getting back into Android programming.

I've had a look at the logcat logs and can't see anything that particularly matches that particular string, but I see a section that starts with

"[ 02-27 23:55:51.509 28773:29176 E/AndroidRuntime ]

FATAL EXCEPTION: pool-1-thread-1

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError"

Could someone tell me if this is indicative of that "Settings has stopped" error please ?

If so, then I do not see a line that gives a "Caused by" reason - is there any further diagnostics that I can do without having to resort to a full system restore ?

Thanks in advance.
[Java for Android App Development] SimplicityApks:
Well an Out of memory error will cause a force close, so it should be the cause for the message you see. Out of memory means your app is trying to get more ram that it is allowed by the system. Most of the time this happens when dealing with large bitmaps (perhaps forgot to recycle them?) or in an infinite loop.

You'll have to manually debug the thread to see where the problem is.
[Java for Android App Development] downrange914:
Hi - many thanks for responding.

I'm sort of cheating a bit as I'm trying to diagnose a bug not of my own making - i.e. I haven't actually written an application - I've downloaded a few apps from the Google Play store and one (or more !) is causing them to crash with the aforementioned error when I go into Settings->Apps and I'm trying to localise which application it is.

As it was really bugging me I've since factory reset my phone, and the problem appeared when I installed the latest version of the Shazam app. More worrying is that I've uninstalled the app and carried out a power cycle of the phone and the issue is still appearing - which means either that :

a) Shazam has somehow corrupted the OS and the phone requires another rebuild

b) It's not Shazam

Unfortunately I have no idea on how to take this further :(

Ive been running DittoNote 3.1.1 for a little while now, last night I decided to do a wipe and clean reinstall. I wiped caches and data in twrp, and flashed the rom. It uses an AROMA which freezes after the install, says just to hold power until reboot. last night after a few attempts, I got the rom to boot but it would only work for about 60 seconds at a time and rebooted itself. I wiped caches and data in recovery again and tried a different rom. same problem again now, the other rom I tried installed and is rebooting every 60 seconds or so. after wiping a few more times, then trying a couple different kernels I now cant get any rom to even the bootscreen past the Samsung galaxy note 2 logo. Does anybody know where I went wrong? I have now switched to philz recovery via odin, tried repeating my processes and still no luck. all roms say installed correctly in recovery after install, just don't boot!

I was running skynote rc9z since its release, then switched to DN3 a while back. I ran these roms and others without any troubles, other than I remember I had issues in recovery after flashing (not sure which one) saying no os installed, which I am getting now again after trying to flash certain roms. same for your device doesn't seem to be rooted, would you like to apply supersu or w/e.. at which point id apply the supersu update 1.80.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
Still stuck on bootscreen though?

Yep you're on a 4.3, had to be to run the ROMS you were running..

Here's my dilemma.

From Zen's thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2589891

If you *are not* running Official 4.3 (MK6) or newer bootloader:

After flashing one of the firmware packages above flash the bootloader package below in Odin to get wifi working (sorry, no option available for CWM/TWRP). I've included the Odin executable just after if needed.

Bootloader needs to be flashed only once. See post #2 for information on how to check what version of bootloader you have installed.

** Warning - do not attempt to flash MJ4 bootloaders if you already have the MK6 bootloaders - this will soft brick your phone - see post #2 for more **

AT&T i317 ODIN 4.3 UCUBMJ4 (Leak) Bootloader & TZ (AT&T Note 2 ONLY)

If you *are* running the Official 4.3 (MK6) bootloader:

After flashing one of the stock packages, you may need to flash the MK6 tz.img and optionally the param.bin from the MJ4 leak. This is likely to be so if you are on the MK6 bootloader and have previously reverted to 4.1 firmware. The zip below contains two Odin packages. If after flashing the stock package and you are on the MK6 bootloader, try flashing the tz only package first (in Odin), then the tz+param package to see if this gets your phone to boot. You may also need to boot recovery and do a factory reset.
