[Nexus One General] Emranth:
Maybe Google secretly hates everyone still using an N1 and their righteous outrage at not having everything yesterday. Maybe Google gave Samsung gingerbread exclusivity until 2011. Didn't the Droid get a fair bit of fanfare with it's 2.0 exclusivity? 5 days into 2010 and we were introduced to the N1 and 2.1.

I have to imagine it would have been a pain to develop on a phone while Samsung was still monkeying around with the GPS and then there's the video evidence of gingerbread on the N1. My guess is that gingerbread is probably nicely baked for our consumption and just waiting on the calendar.

So why not ever give us precise dates? It's not like OTA updates happen in a day, it's taken weeks for updates to reach me in Canada (when I don't do it manually). Google has told us it's coming and coming soon at that. That's a hell of a lot more than the users of any other phone (barring 1) can say.

People on sites like this will ***** if it's not the right colour, if it doesn't make toast for them, if they don't know when they're getting it down to the minute. Google may as well just let us *****, there's nothing they can do about it.

I'd encourage patience but if you're browsing XDA patience is not in your nature.
[Nexus One General] negroplasty:
If it means so much for all of you to be first on the list for updates - GO BUY A NEXUS S AND SHUT THE HELL UP.

Otherwise, acknowledge your phone is a year old and quit being unrealistic FFS, half of you must be ten years old - if that's the case, do what you did the first time; go grab mommy or daddy's credit card and order a Nexus S.
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
lol, how many times in the last 4 months have I said we won't see Gingerbread until 2011? This is not surprising at all.
[Nexus One General] Mike Blitz:
I love how they complain like Gingerbread will be some sort of revolutionary update, it's nothing special.
[Nexus One General] vegetaleb:
I got a message yesterday night that a new update is available OTA, I declined it because I am on Desire rom so I don't know if it was Gingerbread :o
[Nexus One General] BiTXBoi:
it is not, it's a FroYo based update

and 6 could perfectly be 'a few'
[Nexus One General] ChongoDroid:
I still think our phones are going to get them ota on christmas eve
[Nexus One General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
first of all i also don't think that gingerbread is anything special. i hate the new icons, i don't like the black notification drawer.

so i have no problem waiting. But i have a general issue with this delay, i bought the nexus one not much time ago expecting that it's the only real google phone and will be treated like that. which means it should get updates for 1,5-2 years.

Now i see people hoping to get honeycomb on the N1 at all officially, and gingerbread is being delayed. If even Google doesn't get it right on their first own smartphone flagship, then nobody in the android market will.

I really love Android OS and all of its pros, but getting updates without having to root or anything is very important for me, so if google fails to support the n1 in 2011 i'm going to switch to the iPhone. Hope it will not end like this, cause i prefer the Android OS.
[Nexus One General] drive2droad:
Now that would be a Christmas Miracle
[Nexus One General] draugaz:
Everything is just a wild speculation, nobody really knows except google itself.

You can't take iphone updates for granted. Apple offered them earlier to gain more acceptance in the new market, but now it is firmly established and started to reduce support for the "discontinued" models.
[Nexus One General] BiTXBoi:
there's no delay as such. If people were expecting an OTA update to Gingerbread the very same day Android 2.3 was officially announced is not Google's fault. I'm sure Gingerbread for Nexus One is going just as planned.

By the way, a change to iPhone? You can, it's about tastes, but you shouldn't expect a better support regarding updates/upgrades. How many updates did the original iPhone enjoy? And the 3G?
[Nexus One General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
yeah, but i don't understand this speculation. I expect google to give us honeycomb for sure, anything else will be unacceptable. Of course google is not obliged to give us updates, but as a conscious consumer i will switch to the product which is sold by the company valuing it's customer for a longer period of time. 2 years is a good bet, and im sure that Apple won't cut down their update support to less than 2 years, because in the past they provided updates for longer than that period.
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
DELAY? THERE IS NO DELAY.

GOOGLE HAS NEVER SET A DATE FOR THE 2.3 UPDATE.

NO PHONE HAS BEEN UPDATED TO 2.3.

Seriously, just stop. The constant crying from end users is mind numbing.

Switch to the iPhone, you don't deserve an Android device.

Also, this thread should be LOCKED, since there is clearly a sticky at the top of the forum that reads ONLY GINGERBREAD THREAD.
[Nexus One General] [IO]ERROR:
Anyone else feel like the N1 just dropped a few steps off the food chain line? We were ALWAYS the phone that got the latest Android and now the NS is out sporting 2.3 and we have to wait "weeks" for it. I'm hoping the N1 doesn't fall by the way side in Google eyes and is still it's flagship developer phone.
[Nexus One General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
yeah calm down - delay is not the correct word. it just takes more time than expected. But i also said that i don't care that much because the update is not groundbreaking. my real issue is all those people talking about honeycomb being the last update for the nexus one...

instead of getting all worked up based on a single word you should have read my whole post to understand the point.

True, customers mentioning any problems of any product don't deserve the product at all.

So how does it feel living as a google slave without an own opinion?

Android fanboy trolling at it's best. Android is not perfect. As any other OS is not perfect too. live with it.
[Nexus One General] Clarkster:
Oh, whoops. Sorry about that. :(
[Nexus One General] xManMythLegend:
It is a delay. Its been delayed for weeks.

Samsung bargained for exclusivity.

Its about politics not programming.
[Nexus One General] drive2droad:
Agreed , they want to push their already bug manifested Galaxy line further
[Nexus One General] draugaz:
Talks are just talks. People like to speculate about anything, discuss all sorts of conspiracies and there is nothing anyone can do about it.

Even if google would completely disclose their roadmaps, people would find something to speculate about.

There would be another extremely vocal group which is "not impressed" no matter what google offers.

Another vocal part will hate the changes, you just can't please anyone.

And another which is bored and "not excited anymore" since anything they get is old news (was announced like 6 months ago).

And I do not dare to imagine what would happen if something gets changed, slips or canned along the way which is a normal part of the development process.

So it is no wonder, that most companies do not want to do this to them and keep their lips as tight as possible.

That's why we do not hear anything about exact gingerbread release date. What if it slips 5 days due to the last minute bugfix? Everyone would be deeply appalled by such poor execution.

This is not to say, that honeycomb will be available for N1. I simply don't know.
[Nexus One General] austinwsj:
In terms of Honeycomb,

The Nexus S having somewhat marginally better HW than the Nexus One may be a blessing in disguise.

If Honeycomb will be supported for Nexus S, then the chances may be good we may see it on the N1.

Glass half full i guess.
[Nexus One General] worker1:
Google has a new baby named the nexus s... and we're not getting as much attention! ;)
[Nexus One General] CodeMonkey:
You missed one group of people out.

Those who are happy with their N1, quite interested to see what Gingerbread will bring but ok with waiting until it's officially released.

I'm with them..

[Nexus One General] ChongoDroid:
For those waiting for gingerbread, root and download it yourself.. Or wait. Personally I think if you own an n1 and don't root it then you don't even deserve gingerbread.
[Nexus One General] GHOST99K:
Keep your opinions to yourself.
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
This is the proper attitude :)
[Nexus One General] sknoslo:
People really should take into consideration the work that has to go into one of these updates. The android team has undoubtedly been running gingerbread on their N1's for months now, so its not an issue of it not being ready or being delayed. It's much easier to ship a phone with Gingerbread pre-installed, as with the NS, than to update an existing phone, so of course its not on our phone yet. First they have to rigorously test the build, then they have to rigorously test the OTA system, to make sure there are no serious bugs that could cause bricked devices, etc.

Just keep this in mind, yes Google said that the N1 would always be getting updates quickly, but they never said they would release updates that weren't ready. It's not some big conspiracy, they are just preparing.
[Nexus One General] b1337:
post something useful that is related to the thread....opinions are like assholes everyone has one, you've posted enough on here to figure that out im sure...

i for one can patiently wait because i will probably still use miui over gingerbread
[Nexus One General] draugaz:
Me too. But we are not vocal enough, therefore we don't exist :)
[Nexus One General] :
The team behind the Nexus line of phones isn't as big as you think it is. It's also not
[Nexus One General] ChongoDroid:
Gingie is fun... the AOSP build is fine. I haven't run a stock rom in forever and it's strange how we take these phones for granted. I personally think Honeycomb will be the doosie that is really game changing. I also think we'll see more "system" apps updates as they are easier to update. So personally I think 2.3 brought the new maps, facebook, that crt animation I fell in love with strangely, new scrolling and apparently new apis for the awesome devs so I'm pretty happy.

[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
They need to work on how this is done though, updating numerous system apps takes a pretty big hit on /data
[Nexus One General] pfmiller:
Yeah. Google sent out a few minor system updates, like FRG83D. I don't know why they didn't include the updated apps like Gmail, Maps, Search, and Voice Search. They could have freed up a lot of space on my phone with that.
[Nexus One General] labbbby:
I personally think that Android and me rumor might actually be right and that Honeycomb will be Android 2.4/2.5.

I wouldn't be surprised if they wait for Google I/O to announce the next major bump that should also receive a X.0 jump.

Additionally, the more I read about 2.3 the more I see that a lot of change happened under the hood. The Anandtech review contained a few interesting bits such as:

These tweaks and the gaming API look like ground work that would serve a new interface well. If you are going to slap a new interface with more eyecandy and gear up for gaming, you better be sure that the underlying components are flying...
[Nexus One General] michel-slm:
That's the reason I stopped buying Nokia Maemo tablets -- the N900 and Google's N1 are hardware-wise relatively equivalent, but Nokia has a very poor track record at supporting OS updates on older hardware.

I wonder if the N1 Gingerbread will have all the features that the NxS has minus the NFC and gyroscope.
[Nexus One General] cezegg:
after waiting this long, i really couldn't care less about gingerbread...

i'm pretty dang happy with my nexus one...

i think cyanogen's 6.1.1 rom trumps gingerbread...

but then again, i can't really say that, 'cause i've never used gingerbread.

thus rendering this post pretty dang useless. haha
[Nexus One General] :
What features? There's nothing extra on the NS that there isn't in AOSP.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
If your a noob, stay with OCLF

but overall i say VOODO is THE best lagfix.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lqaddict:
The latest stock kernels collection with the latest Voodoo from supercurio are the best there are, since the latest Voodoo lag fix concerts not only /data into EXT4 but /system, /cache and /dbdata as well.

Another benefit of Voodoo over the OCLF is the filesystem used, OCLF is EXT2 based, it is faster than EXT4 but less reliable and there are reports that the lag comes back up in a few weeks or even days after the install.

I just Voodoo fixed my Nero V1 install with JL4+latest Voodoo, and the thing flies off the charts. My experience was always good with the Samsung stock RFS, good but not great, and with Voodoo it is great!

P.S. Do not forget to RTFM or you will be a sad panda one day.

Lol especially if u like to flash a new rom every other day like me.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mystycs:
Same here i only used OCLF with my roms, i never used Voodoo. I see some people dont like to use Voodoo, and it can be dangerous if you dont uninstall it. Im assuming to just disable Voodoo you make that folder in the voodoo folder and thats it right?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdof1337:
I also say Voodoo. I used to use OCLF but I like voodoo a lot better. And voodoo is as easy as pie to install these days. Just flash a voodoo enabled Kernel.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T313C0mun1s7:
Very close, it is a file rather than a folder. Basically that is it though. There is even a flashable version you can do from Clockwork Recovery.

It is just absolutely imperative that you disable it before doing anything that will change these file systems (/system, /data, /dbdata, or /cache) outside of the running OS. Things that might do this will include: flash a new ROM, flash a mod that will write to any of those file systems, or clear the dalvik cache.
[Vibrant General] swehes:
So is there anyone who knows links to where we can follow the progression of the developers porting to other phones of Gingerbread? Do we know who the developers are? Is Sombionix team working on it? Eugene??

Anyway. If you have any information put it here and we can have a collective information on the subject. :)

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CBConsultation:
Yeah. Sounds like you jumped into rooting and ROM flashing before you really knew what you were doing.

Not trying to be insulting but you have to expect some issues if you are flashing different ROMs and what not.

[Fascinate General] adrynalyne:
We get this question in IRC a lot. Why voodoo? Convince me that I need voodoo! Make up my mind!

First, understand that nobody has any business making up your mind, and those that are doing it for you, aren't doing you a favor. Second, realize that if you need your mind made up, you truly don't understand voodoo.

So, I will attempt to do a small Q and A here to help sort some of you folks who seem to think they need to be coerced.

Q: What is voodoo?

A: Voodoo is a system file conversion from RFS to EXT4. RFS, while fine for reading operations, is not for writing. So, when something write intensive...writes...the phone slows down. Wayyyy down. Sometimes even pauses. By using EXT4, it helps alleviate this issue.

Now, most operations on a phone device will be read operations. Write operations do happen, but only for certain types of apps, such as rss readers, news readers, browsers, heavy emailing, and sms with large lists. These are just some examples.

Now, does that mean that it will speed up said application? Maybe?. If said application is writing to the SD card instead of the internal data partition, then what YOU need is a faster SD card to see a performance increase. So do some research!

Q: Can voodoo mess me up and break my phone if something goes wrong?

A: Yes! Yes, yes yes! Be prepared to fix it and know how before installing. Read all about voodoo, then read some more!

Q: Make my mind up for me! Do I want voodoo?

A: If you need to ask this, the answer is no.

Super I/O IS already flashed in the ROM.

and you don't just delete VOODOO file, you have to disable it, and i'm sure deleting the file will cause some problems.

and before flashing another lagfix, you delete the one before it, not after, which makes no sense...

[Android Software Development] Atmonaut:
1) Is there a way to prevent an EditText widget from turning cyan when you touch it?

2) Why does it turn cyan when you touch it.

I've tried a few things like setting the focusable and focusableInTouch to false, as well as a few other attribute settings, but all to no avail.

Even if I could find out where that cyan color is specified then maybe I could change it to white so that it at least doesn't look like its changing color. Thatwould also work.

My goal is to be able to scroll up and down through the text in the view with out the view changing color when it's touched.

Any ideas? :confused:

P.S. I've attached some screen shots for the sake of clarity. One where the screen is not being touched (white), and one where the screen is being touched (cyan).

Is there any advantages to using odin rather than rom manager? rom manager is just so easy it's spoiled me.

also I'm downloading nero v2 right now and this version is with voodoo. the devs said a non voodoo version will be available but that voodoo is faster. why would you not want voodoo than? what are the disadvantages of voodoo? what is voodoo?

can nero 2 voodoo be installed with rom manager?
