[Nexus 9 General] Lokke9191:
Sorry for going off topic guys. Back to the ops question. I have purchased a black n9 and heres why:

1. Black over white, due to me worrying that i would scuff and scratch the metal trim, and it would show more on the chrome as opposed to the black versions darker trim.

2. Boomsound speakers.

3. 8.9 inches. Not too big, itll still be easily portable. And big enough to comfortably read ebooks and watch videos.

4. 4:3 aspect ratio for a better experience while accessing pdfs during meetings, and a better web browsing experience as opposed to 16:9

5. The fact that its a nexus, and will have huge dev support and get fast updates.

6. Htc build quality, which imo is the best android hardware manufacturer.

7. I only use my desktop to flash my n5, which i will run stock 5.0 as i dont see a need to modify android like i have done with kitkat. So i now have no need for my desktop, and i will use it strictly as a plex media server. Therefore i dont need a monitor, keyboard, or mouse. So i plan on putting the tower in a closet or tucked away somewhere. So i can get rid of my computer desk, and turn that area into a library, adding extra seating to my house.

8. The price is just right, 499 would have been to expensive for me to justify the purchase/my wife would have beat me for spending 499 on a n9.

9. Android 5.0 and google now are incredibly awesome and useful.

10. Nexus
[Nexus 9 General] marctronixx:
my first and only tab has been the moto xoom. purchased new on launch day.

its getting a bit long in the tooth (Ice Cream Sandwhich !!) but was waiting for a vanilla GED from google. so this tab is it.

wish it was 16:9 but seems the masses want 4:3 in a tab so majority rules...
[Nexus 9 General] MRobbo80:
Nexus 9 is going to be a big jump for you! You gonna love it I'm sure.
[Nexus 9 General] arevor:
Huge

this tablet is a huge upgrade btw
[Nexus 9 General] venture007:
Upgrade

Upgrade from N7 (2012)

Really want to experience pure android with whizzy hardware

slightly concerned screen might not be as good as the tab s but all else seems good

Cant bring myself to become Apple, dont like being tied down and enjoy freedom of android root etc

I just love gadgets
[Nexus 9 General] USBhost:
I once was apple

And i never looked back

well i do to mock them

about android is so much better
[Nexus 9 General] Masterface7:
Pre-ordered due to its screen proportion and size. I think 9 inch 4:3 is just perfect. Well maybe 3:2 is perfect but 4:3 is way better than the 16:10 and 16:9's we have been getting until now.
[Nexus 9 General] MRobbo80:
One thing is for sure that the nexus 9 screen is not going to compare against the tab s, (SUPER AMOLED) but will still have a decent display. We gain in other areas such as SOC GPU, STOCK android much faster updates etc..
[Nexus 9 General] lanwarrior:
I maybe the minority here, but I look long and hard at the Nexus 9 and decided to get... the Note 10.1 2014 LTE.

I have the Note 3 and use the S-Pen quite often and love the multi-window tasking capability. Since Nexus 9 will be just "another" tablet for me without the feature I need, I decided just to get the Note 10.1.
[Nexus 9 General] venture007:
I have the note 3 and love it but 10.1 too similar for me. As long as we all enjoy what we have its horse's for courses
[Nexus 9 General] MRobbo80:
I had the note 3 nice phone, I was tempted at the tab s 10.5 brand new for £299, really good price, but after deep research I decided the nexus 9, don't like the way Samsung keep on releasing new tablets.
[Nexus 9 General] venture007:
I too decided on nexus 9 after much soul searching will see if it's worth the 400 I am in trouble with my wife for spending when I get it in my hand lol?
[Nexus 9 General] raptir:
I (unfortunately) chose to buy the Kindle Fire HDX 7 when it was the only way to get Amazon Instant Video on Android and am buying the Nexus 9 to replace it. Now that I can get my prime movies and TV on any Android device I'm starting to feel the limitations more and more. I didn't think I would mind re-buying apps on the AppStore... until I learned that they were almost all out of date. I didn't think I would mind the lack of access to Google apps... until I found that the YouTube website doesn't even work.
[Nexus 9 General] Deltadroid:
I'm getting it because I'm really looking forward to running CM 12.

My guess is that HTC will release a few more tablets shortly after the nexus 9 is shipped, but those other devices will need to be s-on/s-off with hacked firmware, like the Nexus One vs. HTC Desire.
[Nexus 9 General] MRobbo80:
Do you know what I totally forgot about CM 12, Exciting times ahead! Nexus 9 should see this quite quickly right?
[Nexus 9 General] USBhost:
Im not a great fan of CM
[Nexus 9 General] Deltadroid:
Yeah, the nexus 9 should be one of the first devices that gets official support.
[Nexus 9 General] MRobbo80:
Why is that? Caf? I never had any issues with CM always felt smooth stable, also like the way you can add themes etc.. Never had any gripe.
[Nexus 9 General] USBhost:
Yep CAF

that's why I loved my nexus 7

any kernel will work with any ROM
[Nexus 9 General] heissman:
I'm getting the N9 32gb because my current tablet is a rooted and heavily modded Nook Tablet (circa 2011). Needless to say, I really do NEED a new tablet.
[Nexus 9 General] MRobbo80:
I think that's everybody's game plan [emoji12]
[Nexus 9 General] jnbanda:
Coming from a Nexus 10 device that I bought straight from Google when it came out (November 2012), I just felt that it was time for an upgrade. I just recently sold it (Nexus 10) on eBay and already have my Nexus 9 on pre-order (we'll see how THAT goes...). Currently feeling naked without a tablet...

In short, I believe I've already been programmed to follow the mantra of "replace your device every 2 years". However, I really want to hold on to this tablet for a little longer. My main use for the tablet is:

- heavy PDF/EPUB reading for work/play

- streaming content via Chromecast (movies, music, YouTube, etc.)

- basic productivity apps (Dropbox, Quickoffice, etc.)

- Backup "phone" with Google Voice/Hangouts integration

Even with the 32 GB storage I had on the Nexus 10, I only ever used about 10% of it at any given time, which is why I opted for the 16 GB model. On a side note, I really got tired of holding the Nexus 10 for reading and the 4:3 aspect ratio really doesn't seem like a drawback for me. I kind of found the Nexus 10 to be quite lopsided at times: you either really wanted it in portrait or landscape mode.

Plus, who doesn't want a new toy?
[Nexus 9 General] Hashbang173:
I have a feeling It might take a while for CM to be updated. In the mean time I plan to edit some source code (Whebn it's released) to make an AOSP based ROM if time allows. If the Nexus 9 has a bootloader that can't be unlocked............
[Nexus 9 General] USBhost:
The bootloader better be unlockable
[Nexus 9 General] MRobbo80:
Think it should be, 90℅ sure anyway ?

---------- Post added at 10:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 PM ----------

Top man, wish I had time! really would like to start to build a feature packed aosp based rom. The only time I get on my PC now is late in the evening, by then I'm bullocked. This is where my tab kicks in, chill out in bed and do some flashing [emoji298]
[Nexus 9 General] jb12780:
16 GB white. My laptop met it's demise, I'm no longer in college so paper writing isn't necessary anymore.
[Nexus 9 General] wanfeilwong:
My 2nd gen Nexus 7 had touchscreen issues and manufacturer couldn't care less so i CLed it. Hoping this one does me right.
[Nexus 9 General] Galactic2:
I have the galaxy tab s currently...and am currently Haiting it. The software experience is so horrible. TouchWiz has impra oved some but is still such a laggy mess... And no true custom rom support. The only plus the tab s has over the nexus is the sd card support
[Nexus 9 General] USBhost:
I know

TW is horrible
[Nexus 9 General] Deltadroid:
Let's face it, custom Rom support is probably the most important factor when buying a tablet if you want to have any chance at all of future proofing the software updates. I don't care how good a device is, if it is locked down with encrypted partitions or bootloaders, then it's worthless to me.
[Nexus 9 General] USBhost:
Why would google lock it down
[Nexus 9 General] mrkvchm:
Ive got one preordered. I had a tablet a couple of years ago and ended up selling it because it wasn't a useful form factor for me. Between my laptop for productivity at home and my phone for everything I needed to take with me, I had my bases covered. But I'm looking at a tablet now because I'm now able to use it to replace all the books and papers I currently haul with me to meetings and stuff. So it's finally a useful form factor to me again. Nexus 9 is pretty much my ideal size, and plus nexus devices are awesome. I only use Nexus phones because of how open and unlockable they are, and obviously a vanilla android experiance is nice. Can't wait to get mine.
[Nexus 9 General] Deltadroid:
I meant everyone else. Sony, for example, hides hidden features in an encrypted partition so that certain features on their chipset no longer works as well as it does with their proprietary Rom. Also, most other manufacturers are not very concerned with releasing necessary proprietary driver blobs.
[Nexus 9 General] jpitt916:
I bought one and promptly returned it. The bloat is INSANE!!! And the magazine thing if you go to the far left screen is annoying, and screen transitions are distracting.
[Nexus 9 General] USBhost:
o ok now i understand

Samsung is one of them too
[Nexus 9 General] pendragon11:
I preordered one because I've been custom romming since the froyo days but now have a locked s4. I miss freedom.
[Nexus 9 General] Snaithy:
Preordered to use as a device to do uni work on, read ebooks, take notes and to replace laptop occasionally / when possible.

Also it's hard to resist the new Nexus range when it comes out, the impulse to burn money takes over! Will be a massive upgrade over my N7 2012.
[Nexus 9 General] ericplatham:
I'm getting one.

Why? Because I can't believe I held off this long without getting a tablet :D
[Nexus 9 General] tyvar1:
Its perfect! You get the best tablet you can get! It's a great start! :D
[Nexus 9 General] oddtiki:
I'm getting a new tablet next year for sure since my current one (Galaxy Tab 3 8") is getting outdated and it has barely any development going on, plus it's a dual-core and there are some struggles. Anyways I'm planning for a Nexus 9 or an iPad Pro (rumoured to launch soon).
[Nexus 9 General] YTHero:
This is the tablet for me.

I need an unlocked device, because I like to run custom roms.

I will be upgrading from a Nexus 7 (2012). I'm looking forward to a smoother experience. I use my Nexus 7 at for reference at work, web surfing, watching video, reading comics, and playing games. I'm looking forward to a larger screen for all of these activities.

My last couple phones have been HTC devices, and I really like the hardware. I've been less pleased with their software upgrades. I'm really looking forward to having HTC hardware on a Nexus device.
[Nexus 9 General] Snow755:
i will be getting a nexus 9 over the ipad air 2

why? i have a moto G 4G LTE and the nexus 9 will go very will with it
[Nexus 9 General] Gormsen:
Well, to be fair both the iPad and the Nexus 9 are both dual core ;)

Message has been Baconized
[Nexus 9 General] oddtiki:
Yeah but Apple is Apple.
[Nexus 9 General] androidfreak70:
Well... A Tegra K1 processor...

TapaTalked from my Xperia™ Z (C660²) running Ultimate PureXZ Ultra!
[Nexus 9 General] jamesrick80:
Sorry the iPad air 2 has a triple core processor and it trumps the nexus 9 in both cpu and gpu
[Nexus 9 General] USBhost:
show me proof

Ipad air 2 is slightly over the CPU power not triple
[Nexus 9 General] jamesrick80:
Read this..thanx...my proof..and the benchmarks murder it as well

http://www.extremetech.com/computin...tri-core-cpu-is-almost-as-fast-as-a-modern-pc

And it smokes the nexus 9

http://iphone.appleinsider.com/arti...ew-android-tablets-including-nvidias-tegra-k1
[Nexus 9 General] USBhost:
Dont see any nexus 9 vs ipad air 2

ipad air 2 is a 3 core not 2

duh the air 2 will do better in multi core performance

But in single core performance its just slightly higher

And if you put it in contact

apple have been Optimizing IOS 64bit for how many years?

Android not even one year

And Nvidia is not a bloody CPU maker for crying out loud

And did not read any where that the GPU of the air 2 is better

all i get is it 2.5x better then the air 1

if i did miss it tell me here to find it
[Nexus 9 General] jamesrick80:
Surely, you should do some more reading. The Tegra k1 sucks compared to the A8X and that's the truth. As usual, Nvidia will not be able to hold its own against apple. We all know that apple optimizes flawlessly for there devices and it definitely shows when it continues to be the best tablet available.
[Nexus 9 General] USBhost:
Well in the proof you gave me

tells me that the nexus 9 gpu is faster

but not by much though

And according to the CPU

Yes its more powerful

and you forgot that the nexus 9 is not a bloody 3 core cpu

and if you look that the single core benchmarks

there almost the same
[Nexus 9 General] jamesrick80:
That is not all the proof. I only gave you proof it was triple core for the most part and that the CPU beats it. Go and Google the gpu benchmarks and you will see that the air 2 has a better gpu. It's no reason to be ignorant when the information can be easily googled.
[Nexus 9 General] USBhost:
I did agree with you that the ipad air 2 is better in cpu

but in gpu they are the same no matter what

But ok fine I'll give you a bone

in what term

do you think that the

gpu in the air 2 is better?

also i did do some research/googling and you know what i found

The nexus 9 gpu is better if not the same as the air 2

you are judging a device by its cover

But o well when it comes down to it

what you think is best is the best
[Nexus 9 General] Uninen:
I pre-ordered one, in 32gb. Because ive had a nexus 7 16gb now for about 2 years and i really like it, i really like the Android that has no bloatware, say like my GS4 thats so full of all kinds of crap i have no use for and no real way of removing it either.. Anyways, N9 will have all the newest updates for years to come, its official Google product and it has the 64-bit chip, so whats not to like (once you get over of just having 2gb ram and no SD slot..)?
[Nexus 9 General] rone:
I'm in exactly the same position. I genuinely think it's awful. Bought it as a stop gap.

It's on eBay.
[Nexus 9 General] caplanjr:
Mine arrives on Thursday, the 6th

Pre-ordered that same 32mb white model for the same reason. Plus, my poor Nexus 7 2012 has a new screen/digitizer which I installed with my own fumble fingers to replace the one I cracked. Sadly, one of the touch areas is non-reponsive - always just where I need to click.

I ordered my Nexus 9 from Amazon since they donate .5% to charity and have a great returns policy. Looking forward to more surface area for reading/viewing. Not looking forward for it not being able to fit into my back pocket.
[Nexus 9 General] USBhost:
i will make mine fit even if i have to do some editing to my pants
[Nexus 9 General] arqueware:
Bought one aftermarket from Amazon. Looking forward to a device that really allows one to work rather than consume media. N7'12 is useful, but insufficient screen area and inability to clone screen limits its usability.
[Nexus 9 General] welshandy2322:
I'm getting one in June for my 30th bday. Misses and kids got Samsung tablets so it's about time I got my own
[Nexus 9 General] bjacks12:
Wasn't planning on buying one as I didn't think I'd use it. But my laptop's internal hard drive died on me this month. I'm sending it in for warranty repair but absolutely need a way to do work and homework while at home, so I went ahead and ordered the N9. It's also a neat way to satisfy my new tech lust for the year. I had planned on maybe replacing my N4 this year, but can't really justify it because it still works flawlessly, so the N9 was the way to go. I love it so far.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] novoid:
Some days ago I saw GRUB4ANDROID, an awesome port of grub for any qualcomm device.

On the original post, the GRUB4ANDROID developer says that's incredibly easy to port this, even on locked bootloaders.

I know there's also a multirom port for this device, but it can't boot ROMs with different sources, it needs the same kernel for all the installed ROMs.

I'm not a dev, so is there anyone available to port this for the G2? This would be a big step forward for the LG G2 modding.

just search GRUB4ANDROID on google to see the original dev gplus post.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isus <3:
I know, they both have heads up but PA has better designed heads up with gestures like swipe up to remove it but keep it in status bar. I also like that its sticked up to status bar unlike on cyanogenmod where its almost on center of the screen. My question now is, is it possible to get heads up notifications like in PA on CM 11?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
In PA it's called hover.

Why not just run PA?

#stayparanoid
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Because CM have duped all the "noobs" into thinking that cm is the only/best ROM available.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isus <3:
I don't think CM is best ROM. I like cm features more then PA and it runs more smoothly
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Yeah yeah ;)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isus <3:
I'm not really here to debate, I'm just asking is it possible to get hover feature on cm 11?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isus <3:
And it really annoyed me on PA that it takes 3 seconds to open recent tabs menu on franco kernel and stock pa kernel, idk why. It's slow

Plus I was active PA user, but when they removed HALO it made me switch to CM
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Yes it is. Set up a build environment (Linux Ubuntu or Mint), sync the CM11 sources locally, identify the Hover commits from the PA github repository, cherry-pick them, resolve any conflicts and build.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isus <3:
System.out.println("idk how to program");

:P
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isus <3:
And I have no idea why did they remove halo feature, I loved that...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
You don't need to "program". You need to know how to sync repo's, use github and build. Since this is a develoeprs forum, you're in the best place to learn.

If you're not wanting to learn, the quick answer to your original question is "no".
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isus <3:
I think I have an idea. PAC rom has all features of CM, PA and AOKP, I can just install PAC and run all cm features + have hover? Am I right?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
No idea. Have a read / ask in their thread. What are these "CM Features" that are so special?

Is it the ability to take the work of other developers and turn it into financial reward? :p
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isus <3:
I'm used to some of their features which I got used to and I can't use my phone without them anymore. And CM is rom in which is invested over millions and millions of dollars. They are continuously trying to improve it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Most features of CM are available in other ROMs. And half of CM's features are taken from other ROMs, or is their own implementation/variation of the feature from another ROM.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RXDriv3r:
LOL! I'm sorry, but that was funny.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isus <3:
Btw, I'm really interested on a senior and experienced member like you, which ROM are you preferring?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Preference is a very personal thing. What I like has nothing to do with me being experienced or "senior" ;)

I Just like what I like.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isus <3:
What are you using atm?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
My signature should hint at it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isus <3:
Slimkat? hmm, does it have hover and peek? :P
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
It has "heads up" notifications.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isus <3:
Can you tell me any special and unique thing about it which you like?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Everything is unique.

I like all of it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isus <3:
Damn bro, you just made me unistall cm and get PA again. I hope I fix that issue which takes 3 secs to open recent menu. maybe its kernel
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Really though, asking others what ROM they're using won't get you anywhere since everybody has different preferences.

Its up to you to find one that suits you. If you've legitimately looked through all of them and none of them suit you, then time to learn and build your own.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ringostar:
Is it possible to setup the 8525 so that it only connects to internet through Wi-Fi and not any of the other options? Based on some threads, it looked like Cingular has disabled this option, but I am not quite sure. Thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] johnny--2k:
The only way I was able to do it was to call Cingular Tech and have them disable the GPRS on their end, now if I go to PIE and the WiFi is off, the GPRS/EDGE Connection pop-up opens, then I get an error message saying the network could not be found and a dismiss icon....

The only way it will connect to IE is through WiFi now.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] rob61280:
if you go to settings then connection and delete the connection settings for gprs it will not connect and you can use wifi only
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] joej:
however i seem to keep getting gprs not connected error if i do so?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ptcruuizer:
I'm having the same problem. I'm totally green to the high tech world. Heck this is my first attempt at anything greater than using my calculator function in a phone :D So if someone could walk me through what I need to do to set my phone up so I can connet through wifi i would reaaaally appreciate it.

I had Cingular put me on the no data plan (not even pay per use). In case that makes a difference.

Thanks in advance for the help.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ch0l0man:
All I did was go in to the connection settings and change the User name and Password. I do not get any error messages stating the network cannot be found. I get a login screen with User/Pass and Domain. I just click cancel and it drops back to IE.

Now I do not have to worry about accidentally connecting to their service.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] kkiran:
well,we can very much achieve it -- In the internet settings in connections,select both of them to My ISP,edit it to nowap.cingular.com

Make sure setting is set to Internet,not work!

I did it and I use only wifi all the time!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Mad Medik:
The previous solutions are not really workable for me since I don't want to delete my cellular data connection, I just want to be able to turn it on and off as I choose. With Windows Live, I can have a Wifi connection and turn off cellular data in the comm manager screen and it will just open the cellular connection again.

A hack to turn off the "auto connect" for the cellular data would be great. Make it like the BT or WIFI, where I have to go to the comm screen and turn it on. That choice would be great.

Anyhow, I am thinking of making the Work connection as the default, then deleting all work connections. Then when I actually want a cellular data connection, I could manually select it and say connect. I'm not sure if the applications will close it and try the work connection again or not. I will try it and post again, probably tomorrow.
