@Jqueru just tweeted update to AOSP is underway. Confirmed on android-build.

Just did a checkin, and checked, nothing and im in GB.

Too many people get the kicks outta saying random things like this on twitter.

[Nexus One General] Hollow.Droid:
I think you've completely misunderstood what AOSP and OTA are. AOSP is basically the source code which ROM cookers (Paul O' Brien, Cyanogen etc) use to build their own ROMs. OTA is an update from, in our case Google, which updates a stock ROM to Gingerbread. Also the person who said this is in charge of the Android AOSP project so he's hardly some random person ;)
[Nexus One General] nexusonemeover:
aosp isnt ota. checkin is useless for aosp.
[Nexus One General] SoberGuy:
No, too many people don't understand what they're reading. Building GB in AOSP is the first step. That has to happen before any kind of OTA is even built, much less tested and pushed out to devices. So doing your checkin is rather pointless, because they're at step 2 or 3, and you're at about 8 or 9. And the Tweet is from an official, confirmed Google staffer.

So again, too many don't understand what they read and want to sound like they're somebody.
[Nexus One General] mattinglis:
My bad, i do know what im doing, i just didnt read the original post properly.

thought it was another person claiming to have recieved the OTA.
[Nexus One General] nexusonemeover:
its ok. lots of folks here are qucik to tell others off, but im used to gherjing my sdfse. just the other day i werufs the ,smbfd but not before i did a bit of sdler to my sdjgfe3. with that being said, lets all sfjher our sdgyer from the sd3fn8 servers (damn blackberries)!
[Nexus One General] greenlime812:
what? google can send out an Over-The-Air update for gingerbread whenever they please. they already have the source code so why would they have to release the source to the public before the compiled rom?
[Nexus One General] khaytsus:
Wouldn't that be cool? Check out the latest code on your phone, compiles, installs.. ;)
[Nexus One General] SoberGuy:
Becase that's the route they've chosen to go this time. Do they have to? No. They didn't with Froyo. But with GB they're doing AOSP first.

My guess is they've got a GB device already, and don't need early OTA releases to build hype.

[Nexus One General] macsim:
Does this mean that we will have a working rom for Nexus One soon?
[Nexus One General] SoberGuy:
Yes and no, lol. Google will push an OTA out to N1 devices at some point. We all know that. It could start today, it could start next week. No one really knows.

Now that the source is in AOSP, ROM developers here (and elsewhere, I suppose) will begin using the source to compile custom ROMs. You may start to see those before an OTA, you may see an OTA first.

As for what works? LOL, hopefully they all do, and hopefully they'll be bug-minimalized. (Is there such a thing as bug-free??)
[Nexus One General] Zynon:
It means you can build your own stock ROM
[Nexus One General] inconceeeivable:
Question about this:

Do you not need at least a leaked ROM to extract the necessary "proprietary files" before building? Sorry if this is a noob question. Just curious.
[Nexus One General] stonec11:
It means they not going to waste their time with the nexus one and let us build our own rom. That mean OTA for nexus user, no time soon. We'll see a custom rom first before we see a OTA. Nexus S is their baby now not Nexus one.
[Nexus One General] macsim:
Imho even a vanilla AOSP rom would be great waiting for official OTA...
[Nexus One General] wdfowty:
No, I don't think the proprietaries are platform-dependant

[Desire General] Schele:
Hello everyone,

I am trying to partition my SD-card with rom manager to enable the APP2SD+ funtions, but what ever i do it wont work.

When i select the option i go for 512mb ext en 0 swap.

It asks for superuser permission and i accept it.

But after the reboot it just says that it is going to start the partitioning, but then it just reboots and nothing happend.

Am i doing something wrong or do i just need to do it an other way ?

Thanks,

Thomas
[Desire General] TheGhost1233:
How do you know it doesn't do anything or that you don't have the ext partition?

The alternatives are Gparted or AmonRa recovery.
[Desire General] MasDroid:
Use the Quick System Info app from the marketplace for a quick way to find out if A2SD is working for you.
[Desire General] AndroHero:
Hi you could try the ubuntu live cd, you can either burn it to a cd or boot it from a usb stick, the native disk utility is excellent for partitioning http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download.

or you could try the amon-ra recovery, flash it with unrevoked and use that to partition your sd card :)

Thomas[/QUOTE]

if rom manager was partitioning his sd card, he would see the progress of the partitioning on his desire after reboot :p
[Desire General] Schele:
Well...for one, shouldnt my SD card be completly empty after a partitioning ?

When i check with Basic System Info i see that A2SD Storage is total 45,69MB, thats kinda small isn't it ? since my SD-card is 8 GB
[Desire General] TheGhost1233:
Yep i probably failed then, use AndroHero's advise and you should be fine.
[Android Apps and Games] sfreemanoh:
Ok, I thought of this idea for a new grocery list app, but since I have zero programming experience (nor the desire to learn...I know enough to know it's not my cup of tea), I figured I would throw it out there and see if anyone who was capable would be interested in doing it.

Basically, it would be an app that included barcode scanning capabilities (or an interface with an existing barcode scanner app). When you open a new grocery list, you can scan barcodes directly into it to add new items to the list, or just manually enter new items, and adjust the amount. Also, a GPS integration that allows you to tag the stores you frequent, and then automatically pops up the list (along with some sort of audible alert) when you get to the store.

I'm sure I'm not the only one that not only frequently forgets to create shopping lists, but then tends to forget the list itself when I decide to go to the store (not to mention almost always forgetting at least one item).

I would definitely buy an app like this if it's ever released. Thoughts?
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
There at at LEAST half a dozen grocery apps on the Market which scan the barcodes and populate your list from that data.

Haven't seen any which tie to the GPS, but considering what they'd need to do in order to do that, I don't see that as a very useful function honestly. Besides, I drive by my grocery every time I leave the house, I wouldn't want my grocery list popping up on top of Waze every time, personally.
[Android Apps and Games] sfreemanoh:
Well, not all of us drive on our grocery store sidewalks...but yeah, I see your point. If it would take too much effort to include just the additional GPS notification portion, it's not worth it. Like I said, zero programming experience, so I have no clue what would be involved in programming that sort of functionality.
[Android Apps and Games] Izkata:
There is one that uses location information, although I don't remember if it uses GPS or the rough-location. It takes your list and compares it to nearby stores to get the prices.

I think the name had "Savvy" in it, like "Savvy Shopper" or something.
[Android Apps and Games] Hinerakatauri1979:
I use dropbox, I place a txt file in dropbox folder on my pc and I can fill it in when I remember something and when shopping I can access latest list.

Also handy if my girlfriend remembers something when I have left, she can add it

can also access from work....
[Android Apps and Games] duckredbeard:
GroceryIQ does most of what you want, excepting the GPS function. I use Tasker to launch GroceryIQ when I pull into the parking lot of my frequent stores. Another benefit of GroceryIQ is that you can edit your list on the internet using any web browser, when you do so, your list is updated on your device also. Tracks history, so you can look at previous purchases to reference for list compliation.

And yes, it has a barcode scanner function. You must have Barcode Scanner app installed. It does not have a database for storebranded items, but you can add them manually.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
GroceryIQ is what I currently use... even though it's slow as balls sometimes, it's the better one I've tried so far.

Mighty Grocery comes somewhat close, but its interface makes NO sense.. I suppose I just need to get used to it, but it's handy to scan items into Grocery IQ.

Well including three demo of Nova in 3.70 sucked me in. I paid the $5 because this game is really cool!
[EVO 4G General] mikephenix:
I agree. I was pleasantly surprised by both the performance of the game, and the fact that although it may be called "bloatware", in reality it adds minimal to internal storage (most of the data is stored on SD which I don't mind).
[EVO 4G General] AdamHart612:
I picked it up a few months ago, its pretty bomb. Modern Combat: Sandstorm is absolutely AWESOME too.
[EVO 4G General] secondskin:
I will have to check out Modern Combat too then. Thanks!

[EVO 4G General] Adanedhels:
Adam is your offical copy working?

Ok so Adam did you install 3.70? Are you rooted? If so did you get your old official copy of NOVA working? Mine won't it just glitches and hangs?

Any answers would be awesome as I can't play NOVA anymore without REBUYING it BOOOO

Thanks,

Adan
[EVO 4G General] potna:
Nova 2 looks even better, dont know if its coming to android. Also don't know if our evos can handle it.
[EVO 4G General] AdamHart612:
Yeah gamelofts process of selling is horrible. They need to join the android market. Especially with all the talk on the blogs about them ripping people off. I have been using a titanium restore so I've been ok playing NOVA. I think they right now only offer 90 days that you can redownload aka update. Which is retarded. The games are great but gameloft needs to rethink their android business model quick
[EVO 4G General] AdamHart612:
O and yeah im rooted (obviously lol) and running cm6.1 at the moment. Works fine on my NS too
[EVO 4G General] Adanedhels:
Well CRAP

Doh well that answers the question Adam,

You don't have to worry about what Sprint did to our EVOs when it comes to NOVA as you arent using even a loose version of the RUU... ahhh well...

As for rethinking their business model I hear you, it's way to hard to get support or help with these issues from them. Not to mention even finding the games is so backwards its almost in opposite land...
[EVO 4G General] AdamHart612:
Yeah. I wanna say android central (maybe phandroid....cant remember) ran an article today on them charging people numerous times, etc. If they wanna be a serious player why arent they on the market? As easy as it should be, gameloft comes off as shady. And yeah, their stuff is a pain to buy, download, and install. You would think they would wanna cure that issue. Joining the market would do that and alleviate everyones fears of being scammed.
[EVO 4G General] JMQUINT00:
no prob..

well i had the full version of nova before the update, im all stock. and after the update I still have the full version, no changes.
[EVO 4G General] evoftw:
you can actually get modern combat sandstorm for free at getjar.com! it is a fun game and was made free there because of what adam said.

getjar.com/mobile/48512/modern-combat-sandstorm/
[EVO 4G General] BrianDigital:
I like just wish they would get over themselves and put the games on the market
[EVO 4G General] secondskin:
I checked but it's just demo. That's what you meant, right?
[EVO 4G General] evoftw:
oh darn it, sorry for getting your hopes up. the article was misleading and so was the description. my bad :(
[EVO 4G General] superlinkx:
I don't think they charge you if you activate the demo copy after having already bought it. I got NOVA back in late july, and just activated the demo. It said purchase, but didn't go through the normal process, so I don't think I paid for it. I'll try to post back here in a month when I get my next bill to confirm, but I'm pretty sure that if its the device that you already activated on, it should be free to activate it. It definitely plays better now that its integrated.

I love all the Gameloft games except for Asphalt 5. Its not a really good racing game. Its ok, but not well optimized for Android. I just got Need for Speed Shift when it came out on the Market on the 16th. So far, its awesome! Really snappy great graphics, and really good racing experience.
[EVO 4G General] abmone:
Can you use wiimote with these games?

On cm 6 of course. I know it doesn't work on sense.
[EVO 4G General] gqstatus0685:
Probably not since you probably has to be coded in the game.
[EVO 4G General] ajkron:
nova just hangs on my device. it tries to load then kicks me out to home screen. anyone else have this problem?
[EVO 4G General] Adanedhels:
Ajkron

If its hanging did you already have a version installed when you updated?
[EVO 4G General] ajkron:
no i just updated to new software. tried to play and no go. never had nova before. am i the only one with the problem? im on stock rom
[EVO 4G General] Smac7:
Its piracy concerns, however I don't think that their current method is any better. if they're worried about piracy they should release it on the market and then use some type of authentication process.

Sorry, not a programmer... but I was sitting here with my android phone plugged into a usb port on my computer, sitting up on my desk next to my monitors so I can see visual alerts with the phone on silent, reading some gadget news on the web... and I saw an article that showed a ridiculous setup of monitors hooked to one laptop, including a USB mini-monitor....

Guys,

today I was about to make a phone call but couldnt unlock the screen. It didnt work at all so I rebooted and now cant enter the SIM lock. It has happened to me before but reflasnihg a different ROM helped. However i now press the screen it doesnt react. Ive tried to reflsh sveral ROMs but no change.

I never dropped the phone or anything like that...

can anyone help please?
[Click General] thacen:
I have another kind of problem with the screen. When I tried to replace the screen protector upper layer of the screen comes off (not completely) and then the touch becomes badly misaligned. I tried calibration but never success with error saying invalid calibration point, like that.

so, I think tattoo screen is not robust and prone to problems.

I managed to soleve my problem. I took the phone appart and pushed the digityzer connector (ive replaced digityzer some time ago due to scratches) more into the motherboard and now it works all fine...
[Nook Color General] chiperic:
Hopefully someone can help me get the market to download apps.

Steps taken:

1. Rooted with Auto-nooter 0.1

2. Ran Auto-nooter 2.12.15 over top of 0.1 to fix some stuff

3. Market failed to download apps

4. Factory Reset - reverted to stock

5. Re-registered NC to functioning stock device

6. Rooted with Auto-nooter 2.12.15

7. Got root, followed all instructions to enable device and extras in order specified

8. Market still not downloading

Can anyone else say they are having this issue? What about a possible fix to this?

When I went to Sync gmail for the first time, my account was already in the device. I'm assuming this was because of the Youtube activation with my gmail account?

Thanks
[Nook Color General] ohyo:
I'm also having a problem downloading apps from the Marketplace. They show up as Downloading but never download. I searched for the problem on the Android Marketplace help, which offers the following suggestions (go to google support androidmarket and click the download issues troubleshooting page):

If your application is stalled at "Starting download", please use a few of the following troubleshooting steps to help your download to completion:

Confirm that there is connectivity on your device (contact your mobile service provider if you aren't connected)

If downloading a paid application, confirm that your credit card information is up to date by logging in your Google Checkout account

Make sure that your phone is logged into Google Talk by following these steps:

Go to your phone’s app launcher, and press the Talk app

If you’re already logged into Talk, press Menu, and then touch Sign out

Launch Talk again to sign in

If unsuccessful after attempting these steps, let us know and we'll be happy to investigate further.
​

However, I cannot sign in to Talk on the NC. Anyone having similar problems?

I followed the steps below to Root, after Rooting and Unrooting due to the Market issue:

Chose Complete action using Setup Wizard

Tapped Droid bot

Skipped Learn how to use your LogicPD Zoom2

Skipped Set up your Google Account

Selected both boxes for Use Google Location and clicked Next

Clicked the menu arrow -- settings -- Wireless & connected to WiFi

Launched Youtube, accepted ToS, clicked menu and added my linked google account

Launched Gmail and refreshed

Launched market and accepted ToS.

Well, my limited experience (i only got market able to work last night at 3 AM Pacific) taught me that even if you don't see an item downloading in the task bar, if you go to the main Android Market screen and click Downloads you'll see it there. And it installs on its own. You do see the "installed" check mark symbol though, after it's done.
[Nook Color General] chiperic:
For some reason, mine started working all of a sudden. I didn't do anything different since second root attempt. Maybe I wasn't waiting long enough for the download to kick off. Anyways, thanks guys.
