Well i know the msm8660 with the adreno 220 benchs higher than the tegra. But not sure about the msm8260 thats in the pyramid. http://www.anandtech.com/show/4243/...mance-1-5-ghz-msm8660-adreno-220-benchmarks/3

But according to this: http://smartphonebenchmarks.com/for...60-smartbench-2011-result-have-been-revealed/

...tegra is better. Damn, why no 8660? Was really hoping on this one...
[Nexus One General] cqms13:
so the bottom line ......

is the bootloader locked/encrypted?:mad:

will it get some CM lovin'?:)

will be all over it if it can get cm7 ++;)

otherwise its the g2x for me...:rolleyes:
[Nexus One General] djmcnz:
Hmm... it's been known to be dual core for some time, the release today didn't introduce anything new except the qHD but that was guessed some time ago based on the leaked screen shots. Well, I had that info at least.

And I also thought that HTC had confirmed they were signing bootloaders unless by special arrangement with carriers/Google? See HTC Thunderbolt. I can't imagine they've changed their tune in a matter of weeks?

Let's hope I'm wrong but I'm certainly cautious.

If it's truly free, I'll be getting one for sure!

[Nexus One General] djmcnz:
I suspected as much.

Doesn't mean it can't be cracked, edit: it's been done with the Thunderbolt so it is possible.
[Nexus One General] crachel:
Yeah, I rooted a Thunderbolt and it was a major PITA even with the Batch files available.. Every smartphone I've owned has been HTC, I have a feeling that's going to change
[Nexus One General] xManMythLegend:
1. Any notification LED ?

2. Guys always talk about GPUs but is there anyway to tell which phone will have the better audio quality for music ?
[Nexus One General] efrant:
Is Google not releasing the third in the Nexus line sometime around June when it updates Android to the next version? (I was under the impression that they, i.e., their hardware partner(s) whoever that may be this time, would release new hardware to showcase every new iteration of Android.) That device should be unlockable like the Nexus One and Nexus S were, no? I would suggest that that device should have, at a minimum, similar specs as the HTC Pyramid, although that is pure speculation on my part.
[Nexus One General] xManMythLegend:
I doubt it. I would expect the next Nexus device to be a tablet.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Don't think so. I haven't heard of any website report this anywhere.

Nope. There was no "Nexus" device for Eclair, nor for Honeycomb (so far).
[Nexus One General] efrant:
Maybe I didn't word that properly. I believe Google said there would be new hardware to showcase every Android iteration (not necessarily a "Nexus" device), which I assume would be easily unlockable for development:

The Nexus One was the showcase device for Eclair/Froyo;

The Nexus S was the showcase device for Gingerbread;

The Motorola Xoom was the showcase device for Honeycomb.

There were multiple websites reporting this. For example: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technolo...h-new-Ice-Cream-Android-operating-system.html
[Nexus One General] smaskell:
the original droid and the xoom could be considered the "nexus" devices of android 2.0 and 3.0. They may not be nexus branded but they are running stock android with an unlockable bootloader. They were both also the first devices to ship with their respective OS versions. I don't think there was anything similar for 2.2 though..

1.0 - Dream

1.1 - nothing

1.5 - Magic

1.6 - nothing

2.0 - Droid

2.1 - Nexus One

2.2 - nothing

2.3 - Nexus S

3.0 - Xoom

3.x - probably nothing but we can hope

If they're going to announce anything, I bet it will be at Google I/O next month
[Nexus One General] irishrally:
Neither the Droid nor the Xoom will get software updates directly from Google ...
[Nexus One General] efrant:
Fine. But with an unlockable bootloader, does that really matter?
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
the original Droid was the 2.0 showcase device. it was stock android and the first one with 2.0. but it was immediately replaced by the nexus one with 2.1 only a few months later.
[Nexus One General] jerichoholic:
On a positive note, looking at the demo video of the phone there is a LED notification
[Nexus One General] pfmiller:

[Nexus One General] xManMythLegend:
Where is the led light? Looks like front facing came and ambient light detector.
[Nexus One General] -A-P-M-:
Why only tablet ? I guess they will offer both, a phone and a tablet. Like Apple offers iPhone and iPad. But I don't expect next Nexus phone before end of the year...

IMO Google did mistake with releasing Nexus S. They should wait a little longer and offer LG 2x or SGSII or Sensation as a Nexus One successor - it would be the best seller IMO.

Also Androidandme posted some rumours about next Nexus phone:

http://androidandme.com/2011/04/news/an-lg-nexus-3-heres-what-we-know/
[Nexus One General] vegetaleb:
The big question for me about the Sensation is: will it get ROOT?

Whatever the marvealous specs it has when you tasted custom roms madness on N1 you can't buy a non rootable phone anymore :eek:

Even the SE Arc will be rooted next month :cool:
[Nexus One General] peacekeeper05:
Something from lg. Htc has nexus 1 samsung has nexus S. I think google will be partnering with all of their major hardware manufacturers for the nexus line up. Htc, samsung, lg, motorola, se.

LG anyways has good hardware, their phonez just need to have good software. That's why G2x became really impressive after removing all of LG skin.

Well if the next nexus device will come from LG something like g2x would be good. Just make the ram 1Gb. I dont really care for a 800x400 res for a 4 inch device. its good enough but a qHD upgrade would be a nice upgrade. Lg can do it knowing they made iphone's retina display
[Nexus One General] DumbUglyDragon:
2. Check out Voodoo Sound for Galaxy S/Nexus S devices.
[Nexus One General] player911:
Supposedly the G2X is the same IPS screen found in the iPhone 4. I've seen comparison shots of the Galaxy S 2, iPhone 4, and the G2X and they both look identical. I've even seen reports of the G2X having the IPS screen.

For some reason, I can't get over, the newer Super AMOLED screens have a nasty dark blue hue to them. I've seen it on the Galaxy S, Nexus S, and the Galaxy S 4G... and even the Galaxy S2.
[Nexus One General] jerichoholic:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAFs9OQinNo
[Nexus One General] djmcnz:
2x has same technology screen as iPhone 4 but both lower res and lower ppi.

IPhone 4 screen is still best on the market by some distance, albeit too small for me.
[Nexus One General] vegetaleb:
I am very pleased by the picture quality of the SE Arc screen, they really did a great job for a non-amoled screen, it's very readable under direct sunlight. The only problem is the viewing angles.

As for the Sensation I deeply hope they upgraded the screen quality since the Incredible S, HTC are the best devices but they begin to lack on some basic things like screens brightness and loudspeaker. The new screen resolution could help :rolleyes:

Anyway any phone that can't be rooted is a no go for me, so better find a way to root it when available or I keep my Arc
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
The S-LCD on the i9023 Nexus S is pretty nice to look at as well, LCD's have come a long way.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alraune:
So i rom'd my phone with Warm Z 2.2. At the bottom of the screen there are three buttons at the bottom of the screen, All Apps, Phone, and Browser.

Ive started to Play with Miren Browser and i really like that browser. Anyway to make that button open Miren instead of Internet?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Well I don't know on the sense roms, but try long pressing it and see if you can change the shortcut. Also try opening the miren browser, then go to settings and set it as the default browser, then it'll open be default.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alraune:

A version of the official Netflix app has been leaked. See here:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...apk-leaked-probably-wont-stream-anything-yet/

and link to dl app:

http://lts.cr/TY5

Apparently streaming doesn't work on most (all?) devices. I was hoping someone here could fix that :D

EDIT 3/16/11

I've uploaded some lib files that may or may not help (in lib.zip) extracted from the LG Optimus 2x. It would be ideal if we could have system/lib dump from the Revolution but I couldn't find it. There are a number of DRM, "OMX", and video/audio codec related libs in here. Perhaps someone is willing to put these in their lib, set permissions, and try netflix again?

More info on OMX here? http://www.omappedia.org/wiki/OMX_Android
[Android Apps and Games] luigi90210:
i hope someone fixes it
[Android Apps and Games] Barbarian:
Damn, can't even sign in on the app. It closes every time.
[Android Apps and Games] fosdos4790:
Yea streaming is indeed borked. Could it be possibly because they haven't gotten their servers completely ready. Thanks for posting nonetheless. Can't wait to get this working.
[Android Apps and Games] familiarstranger:
cant wait for this. The interface looks good and is quick. I'm interested to see how much tinkering is needed to get this to work.
[Android Apps and Games] sundar2012:
I was able to log in on my device. When I go to play a video, however, I get the message:

Sorry we could not reach the Netflix service. Please try again later. If the problem persists please visit netflix.com (1005)
[Android Apps and Games] luigi90210:
actually its a drm thing

[Android Apps and Games] garywojdan81:
Same thing here. Any way to work around it?
[Android Apps and Games] OgremustCrush:
There is probably some sort of DRM service baked into the ROM that this hooks into. The question is whether said service can work independently from the LG framework and whether it requires actual hardware support.
[Android Apps and Games] RystNET:
I hope someone can get it working. ;)

Would love to get Netflix on my Galaxy Tab!
[Android Apps and Games] ivanmmj:
Both the MSM8655 and MSM8255 chipsets have the DRM hardware (the only difference between them being that the 8655 has CDMA suppport and the 8255 doesn't.) This means that people with the mytouch 4g and other phones with the same chipset should be able to eventually get it working. Anyone else may have a much harder time. I'm not sure if any of Qualcomm's other chipsets have the same DRM support. And then there's Samsung...
[Android Apps and Games] erieboyz:
i wonder if the g2 has te same chipset. i read that its the same sec-gen snapdragon but i know for sure the g2 is underclocked.
[Android Apps and Games] evilkorn:
The G2 is MSM 7230.

[Android Apps and Games] TheEvander:
I've managed to get a different reaction from the app than most people seem to. When I try to stream a video I get the same error everyone else does, but when I try to resume a video I was streaming previously on my xbox and then paused I get no error.

The video still doesn't stream, it hangs indefinitely on the loading page, but it is at least a different reaction, and may be enough for some one more tech savvy than me to go on in terms of figuring out where to go on fixing this app. I've tested this on both my Galaxy Tab and my myTouch 4G.
[Android Apps and Games] ivanmmj:
The dump doesn't have a lib folder... I was looking forward to looking through the codecs. I'll take a look later to see if they moved them elsewhere. The hardware decoding is controlled by the OMX files, isn't it?
[Android Apps and Games] nick34609:
There is a lib folder in the apk.

No luck on my Desire Z running Virtuous 1.02. Acts like it's buffering video then quits back to the main screen.
[Android Apps and Games] brtb:
Actually, not so sure that DRM's the issue... from that logcat, it looks like /system/bin/mediaserver is crashing in libstagefright while trying to start the video rendering. Not an Android dev expert by far, but it looks like it was trying to verify a valid ColorConverter object and the assert failed? I don't know if that means a bug in the Netflix app (requesting an impossible colorspace type maybe) or in the framework libs.

This is also why people are reporting that their sound dies system-wide after Netflix stops the playback, mediaserver handles all that, and if it's dead you get no playback.
[Android Apps and Games] chinly43:
I reverted to a veeeeery-old nandroid of rooted stock 2.2, and then finally it worked on my G2. This doesn't make a whole lot of sense, as it worked on my nook running CM7.0.2 (which is what my phone was on), but hey, it's something.

Anything I can contribute to help figure this out?

Netflix on Vibrant Cm7 nightly

I got it to work on my original vibrant (SGH-T959) like this:

0) I was already running the 05/11/2011 nightly pre beta CM7.

1) downloaded app from market.

2) logged in, I got the error message (this probably isn't required, or useful, but for the sake of completeness).

3) Installed SGS tools from the market, and used them to edit my Build.props to match the Nexus S:

ro.product.model=Nexus S 4G

ro.product.brand=google

ro.product.name=sojus

ro.product.device=crespo4g

ro.product.board=herring

ro.product.manufacturer=samsung

4) rebooted

5) works fine, video and audio.

Flash Peter's GPA14 ROM instead and it will likely work. It seems to play well with Gingerbread ROMs.

I tried this on my Epic, and I'm still getting "Netflix not supported on this device."

Has anyone tried this with TP2? I accidently ask the question on the other Netflix thread. I changed the stuff in buil.prop and when closing out (to save) it says error would u still like to save? I said no since I got scared lol.
[Android Apps and Games] rougegoat:
Specifics. AOSP GB 2.3.4 is different from CM7 2.3.4 is different from mixes of the two.

Though awesome that it's working on the Eris. I still have my old one lying around and waiting for a rainy day project.

Sorry, forgot to mention that, its a CM7.1 build. Another guy in the eris forums said he got it to work without modifying anything over wifi. Not sure what the difference is, running the same rom as him.

netflix seems to pull some kind of device type from your device so we might also need to try and spoof it to the LG revolution ie if you look on the netflix site under "Your Netflix ready devices and computers"

[Android Apps and Games] mepis:
I highly doubt that the device ID has anything to do with it. Netflix puts that there for ease of use so you know what device to deactivate later if you so choose to do. It just makes orginzation easier.

As already pointed out it's a DRM issue.

I know from experience trying to hack together the files at work to watch netflix you get these kind of errors if the DRM can't be activated. In my case at work the proxy wouldnt allow DRM content to pass. Netflix is a pretty simple app and structure with the way it works. But it's all in the DRM. If the device cant read it, then it aint playing.

We would need to see how the app reads DRM and where the files are located and how they're tied in to the OS.
[Android Apps and Games] nick34609:

It is confirmed that app is looking for a drm authentication before streaming. The system dump does contain a drm app (but it does not install yet).

This message approved by Skynet.
[Android Apps and Games] shindakun:
Not an expert by any means just did a bit of poking about and here is what I've seen.

The login and queue management part of the app is currently running from secure.netflix.com/us/mobile/release/37/index.html (http or https) sites for Releases 31-36 still appear to be up.

When trying to steam a video the app errors out attempting to load the DRM libs;

The system dump from which I believe the app was pulled is missing /system/lib which appears to contain several OMX libs:

Not sure about any on chip DRM decoding or anything like that, as I said I'm no expert.
[Android Apps and Games] reddragon72:
So can we get those files all wrapped up for install VIA root explorer and recovery? I wonder if this is going to make a diff?
[Android Apps and Games] sundar2012:
this whole "hardware DRM" thing seems disingenuous to me - android has built in DRM handling and i believe Flash and AIR also have their own software based DRM handling.

Regardless, I think the place to start here is with the LG Revolution system/lib dump. Is this available anywhere?

Should I do the normal third party install or should that work for it?

[Android Apps and Games] sundar2012:
There are a number of lib files that might help in the LG Optimus 2x dump. From what I can tell, no one has the libs for the Revolution. I will update with some of the files I identified (by name).

hopefully we can get a cross reference between the two dumps so we can see if there are any differences between them. Kinda helps with per device differences, which will help get it going on other devices.

From what I remember reading elsewhere the drm that netflix is looking for its going to be part of the chipset in newer phones meaning if your phone doesn't come netflix ready then you wont ever be able to run the app as your processor won't have the drm component in it

I read this too. It doesn't make a lot of intuitive sense - and regardless, i have confidence XDA will find a way.
[Android Apps and Games] mepis:
This is what I remember reading as well, all though earlier in this thread it was mentioned to work with the newer snapdragon chip sets.

The reports I'm reading says the LG revolution is powered by the SnapDragon MSM8655, which is essentially the same chip that is in the inspire and such, albeit GSM support and not CDMA. If that's the case then phones that use these chip sets would be capable hardware wise to decode DRM.

It also makes sense that netflix would want to be able to backdate support to some degree and not only support one phone. The more phone that netflix is supported on then the more potential subscribers they have.
