Just ran across this article at Lifehacker for early beta signups w/ Adobe to test out Flash and Air on the Android OS. Who knows how many spots are available or if you'll even get an invite. Anyway, here's the address to the Lifehacker article http://lifehacker.com/5520221/sign-up-to-test-flash-and-air-betas-on-android

Anyone know whos twitter to follow regarding android 2.0?
Would like to keep myself updated.
I don't know anyone in particular, but @hashandroid should pick something up. It's a bot that RTs anything with #Android in it.
I would think a news site like androidcentral.com or phandroid.com would be better than Twitter, subscribe to their RSS. This forum would be the best to find ROM releases.
Motorola Bootloader Petition (~7600 sigs & counting)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Visit Groubal and sign the petition: http://www.groubal.com/motorola-lock...loader-policy/
Retweet: http://twitter.com/#!/ibproud/status/52265679990169600
New Facebook Page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Unlock...15620798518187
UPDATE (4th April 2011):
We are now at ~7600 mark.
We're starting to slow down from our initial boom, so I have now set up a Facebook page to see if we can wrangle in some supporters that don't use Twitter or XDA.
I will need your help getting this out there. So share the facebook page where you can.
Motorola is now aware of the petition!
https://supportforums.motorola.com/m.../355098#355098
Unfortunately we have had a few setbacks with Groubal the provider of the petition, but that have been absolutely fantastic about working with us to keep this petition in the forefront.
They have been hacked sever times, but it was as a result of an SQL bug that has affected over 690,000 other sites on the internet.
The site is now bug free and completely restored

We're hoping to be picked up by Engadget and Gizmodo, but it won't be easy.
Used my fascinating voodoo powers
Yeah, of course Moto's gonna unlock the bootloader after we signed this petition.
But even if it doesn't help: I signed it.
Its worth a shot. Ty for signing it
Used my fascinating voodoo powers
I signed it, too.
Signed too. Lets give it a try
Thanks to everyone for their support. Motos ways are bleeding off onto other manufacturers. Thunderbolt and the new samsung have signed bootloaders now. We have over 6500 sigs and hoping engadget will pick this up. We will hopefully succeed in letting these manufacturers know that we wont stand for it.
Used my fascinating voodoo powers
6700+ signatures now and counting. Let's aim for 10,000!

Updated OP and fixed links.
We’ve managed to score a system dump of the Facebook phone! There’s nothing in it that’s too earth shattering, and you could probably guess most of the features, but, since we’ve got it, we might as well take a look at it.
[This is not an April Fool's joke. I promise.]
Now, this being Facebook, nothing really works unless you sign in. The problem is, all of this is pre-release, so it’s set up to only work for Facebook employee accounts. Everything is basically packing unintentional always-on DRM, so screenshots are going to be a little sparse.
Source
And this system dump isn't available anywhere for download, right ?
(And yes I read the articles; No download URLs I saw.)
Yeah so........ you have the system dump but you're not going to share it with anyone???
Who are you talking to ?
Nobody here has it AFAIK.
One of the sites had an article author who had it, but AFAICT he hasn't released it and it hasn't otherwise been uploaded anywhere known.

Well obviously since the OP says "we have a system dump." I was probably talking to the OP genius.

He quoted from the source linked.
When the thread is in the development section with the title apk breakdown exclusive, it kinda leads me to believe there is a download link and apk.
Should of been posted in general section to not confuse Facebook home fans.

OnePlus has invited its customers into their new MP Early Access Programme.
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/mp-early-access-program.507605/
According to the thread, Oneplus' Customer Base can now participate in a selection for the new MP (Mass Production) Software Testing Team.
This new team will be given "Near-OTA-Ready" builds of the Oxygen OS for a final run before it is released as OTA to the masses.
How it works :
The CBT (Closed Beta Testing) Team will test out the early versions of a new build. They find, report and fix as much bugs they could.
Then it is passed on to Open Beta Users where any left out bugs are detected and final suggestions and improvement requests from the wider user base is taken.
Then comes the role of MP team, where you will get Near-OTA-Ready builds for another final round of testing.
Once the build passes the MP team, it is released as OTA to the rest of the user base.
The Eligibility Criteria is rather simple :
You should be owning an OP3/3T.
Be a moderate to heavy user, willing to spare some time off for testing the builds.
Any experience in testing ROMs (both Official and Custom) would greatly add to your chance of getting selected. They are expecting around 150 people.
If you are interested, feel free to fill out this Google form; https://goo.gl/forms/cSMXSlkhPgLwTB283 ; which is also there at the bottom of the OP ,back at the Oneplus Forums.
More info can be found in the OP. (link posted at the top of this post)

I went ahead and duplicated this thread in OP3 and left a link to this thread so we can keep all the post in one location.
Going to change ownership to you OP. incoming.
Oneplus has closed the invite as they have reached over 1000 applications. Good Luck for all those who applied. :good:
I've seen a few references to it being released on the Nvidia forums.
Has anyone gotten it yet? Any possibility you could zip it and post it for those who haven't?
nope not in the uk yet
5.2 ST update will come in upcoming weeks. Being tested as developer preview atm. ?
Oh great ! The support for Nvidia shield is amazing.
What forum have you seen this on?
Hmn.... Not to be a mean sport for everyone but this shouldn't even be announced yet since it's a preview version and there's an NDA for members. So even download links and other related info shouldn't be discussed or exposed.
I inquired similarly for preview 1/update 5.0 (wasn't a member back then) and I got a good ethical spanking from the senior members here. Something about XDA integrity and stuff. Took me some time to get it.
Just know that Nvidia developers are really working hard to keep this amazing device alive and operate competitively with latest flagships. If the NDA gets massively and openly broken, we might all suffer coz they can decide NOT to support this device any further. :/
In the GeForce forums, the developers are actively taking our suggestions, complaints and wish lists for Shield Tablet seriously. So let's just keep it up.
You could try following the link given by an nvidia representative here:
https://forums.geforce.com/default/...ge-battery-drain-after-android-7-0-update-/6/
Fill out the form on the link, reference battery charging problems. You should get the preview pushed.
Not such a big secret if nvidia is telling people....

From the EMAIL:
"The public release version of the SHIELD Tablet Software Upgrade 5.2 may contain additional enhancements not available in the preview. We’d like to remind you that this preview software is confidential NVIDIA information. Please DON'T publicly share information about this early access software (via forums, blogs, screen shots, tweets, discussions with others, etc.).

it is open since everyone is invited to join
It becomes a "secret" once you've been approved and you're in

Maybe. But I'm sure the admins (here and at Nvidia) are smart enough to distinguish intentions throughout this thread.
This reminder is a response to the OP. I wish everyone can have access. I really do (esp when you're frustrated with the current build). But the developers have their own process that I thought needed some respect. I'm actually grateful that they still bother updating this 3 year old device.

The point of my post is that nvidia made this a public beta as soon as the Nvidia representative on their forum made the comment I linked. My only intention is to help spread information that is publicly available. Now please get off your high horse, and my a$$, until an XDA moderator has a problem with what I've said.

Know what - I feel the same! And here I thought someone is trying to be a smart ass by dropping the bomb first and needed some intellectual response.
Enough trolling. Seems we both overlooked each other's intention and might have rubbed off some ego the wrong way. For that I apologize.
You cool?

I do apologise for my antagonism. I really was just trying to help originally. I notice the 5.2 preview 2 post on Nvidia forums early last week. Seeing as I don't have any problems with my current install I felt no need to update myself, but if it will help someone who might be having problems I thought I'd share.
