ICS Alpha 9 Build available for download

Hi guys,
I just noticed a youtube movie where he showed alpha build 9 of ICS!
He also provides a download link for that build in the description of the movie.
Mod edit: link removed

Thanks
Thanks for informing us! Though I always slightly skeptical of this kind of links. Might brick our phone.

SAme version, nothing new in it

Ok not going to spoil the party here but like Bala_gamer has said there is nothing official been released yet. And no official word that the project has stopped due to some sources being needed...Till you hear or read the words project ended then you can all start crying..But till then just sit back and wait..

Has anyone got this to work, tried it myself and it failed..
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

i just tried and it worked...got back to stock though...my way how i installed...
1. backup your system
2. wipe data/cache/dalvik
3. install latest cyanogen
4. wipe data/cache/dalvik
5. boot cyanogen
6. back to recovery
7. wipe data/cache/dalvik
8. install ics
9. wipe data/cache/dalvik
10. boot ics and have fun testing
what i can say is that ics is just awesome. when it all works fine i will use it as my daily rom. but too buggy now to use it.

IAN67K from IAN67H OTA?

Does anyone have a link to the OTA update IAN76K from IAN76H? I know factory images are available for IAN76K, but I'm looking for the actual OTA file that was pushed to Nexus Q devices. Thanks in advance!

I have this sneaking suspicion that the I/O Q's shipped with H loaded but K in the recovery or whatever. I noticed that mine had changed when i did a factory reset. I don't know for sure though. Doubt anybody is able to get a logcat at this point in time. Do you have a device with ian67 H installed?

No. I don't own a Q actually. I operate a firmware repository for every Nexus device from the Nexus S onward. I mirror official factory images and OTA updates for posterity. The site is http://randomphantasmagoria.com. I just added a page for the NQ today and was looking to see if anyone had the OTA link so I could mirror it.

If anyone that has a NQ is willing to take about 30 minutes to assist: I'd like to find the IAN67K ota:
If you would like to help, here's what you can do:
Reflash IAN67K (if you are not already on stock, and you must be on stock to do this)
Root your device
Change the following lines in build.prop:
Code:
ro.build.date.utc=1339795569
ro.build.fingerprint=google/tungsten/phantasm:4.0.4/IAN67H/384240:user/release-keys
Check for updates
Post the name of the update zip it downloads

I'll give it a try in a little while.

You might need to check adb logcat while doing the check for updates, as we do not have the actual URL for it, just giving the filename will only give the filename.
I'm not sure how setting up adb works on the NQ though, I assume it's like normal devices as it has a usb port(?)
(if you know how to set up adb you can skip to step 7)
Download platform tools
Download usb drivers
extract both packages
Turn on usb debugging (I dont know the exact steps to do this on the NQ)
Install the drivers if windows requests it (and I am assuming you are using windows)
go to where you extracted platform tools and do "adb logcat"
Check for updates, if there is one available then post the contents of logcat
If you are able to get that far you can just directly post the logcat if you do not know how to read it.

Well we only realised that this works a couple days ago, unless you actually had a NQ with IAN67H the entire time

Given the current (lack) of news on the NQ, it seems unlikely.
I dont even own one but I'd hope it does too.
Like a hypothetical merger of NQ type media streamers and google TVs into KLP like how ICS merged tablets and phones.
But I digress

Because we now have this information, I have created a Nexus Q page on the website to mirror the firmware.

Yeah it seems like a very minor update.

User facing changes:
Hubbroker.apk got updated (what is this? is it the NQ's launcher?)
Music2.apk got updated
Lib/frameworks/non user facing updates:
/system/bin/common_time
/system/framework/ext.jar
/system/framework/framework-res.apk
/system/vendor/lib/libWVStreamControlAPI_L1.so (WV as in widevine?)
and that's it, every other file is simply updating the timestamp.

OK, so maybe a dumb question, so bare with me here. I m new to the Q but not the android world.
How would us users who have a stock Q go about updating to this latest version. I am having issues with my Q after about 20 minutes and was hoping to give this a whirl and see if it fixes it.

I can almost guarantee you have the latest version as its been around since I got the Q last July.
I have the same issue you have as well. I'm pretty sure its a Google back end thing and not a problem with the build. Although Google may release an update that fixes the problem.

just built a 4.2.2 stock kernel and rom - update7 final - 14/9

i built it for both fun and testing for my note 2 lte n7105, will try it out soon
hope that i will return with a success, although i think its not an easy task
ps no promise

You are a recognized dev, so I very hope this is true...
Have you ported the Note 8.0's firmware?

So, any update?

Hopefully success as a 4.2 2 stock rom would be awesome.

ok guys, just a little bit updates so far after 5 tests
it booted up but stopped at the 7105 logo
so i examined the last_kmsg and compared to the 4.1.2's and found that
- init has been called and executed
- drivers loaded successfully including cpu, battery, usb, display, mmc, etc
- disks mounted
- it then paused or looping and i have no idea what happened atm because the log files couldnt provide me with more info, and most importantly adb was not available, thus i could have no way to check what's going on for now
that's all i can tell atm, and tough jobs expected

Yup go for it!! reserved!

I think you should try using Note 8.0's. Devices are very similar in specs, and we will still have all Sammy's S Pen's features

And maybe try looking on the Note 10.1's port for the Note 2. Maybe your problem isn't related to it being Android 4.2, but the port itself.

Nexus 7 Ubuntu 13.04 DESKTOP

Hi, I recently installed Ubuntu desktop on my Nexus 7 using multirom.
It all went well and works well if you use a mouse with an OTG cable, I understand it was meant for developers but has anyone been able to install the tegra 3 drivers and keep unity/taskbar working?
When I install the drivers and reboot, it boots up and looks better but doesn't have unity or the taskbar. I can get into terminal with a keyboard and pretty much everything can open but its not exactly usable this way.
Thanks.

Which Tegra 3 drivers are you talking about? Ubuntu Desktop for Nexus 7 should already come with all the drivers it needs.

Its very slow and doesn't play videos, only sound. Also, in "about this computer" or something like that, none of the hardware or even the devices name is recognized. Here's a link to it https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/raring/armhf/nvidia-tegra3/16.0-0ubuntu3

Yes, those drivers are already included in Ubuntu Desktop for Nexus 7. They do have issues though (lots of screen tearing). Playing video shouldn't be a problem though if you have the right codecs installed.

Yes that's normal. Canonical ported Ubuntu to the Nexus 7 solely to test it and optimize it for low-spec devices. They didn't do a whole lot to polish it up and make it presentable for end users because that wasn't really their goal

Oh, let me offtop a little.

Yeah man. Multirom is an app made for nexus devices that let's you multiboot ROM and distros. I've got cm11, ubunut and active plasma installed right now. Just read the how to's on this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011403 and download the Ubuntu 13.04 from that page. If you want a few other distros for multirom get them here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2093797. It really is the easiest way to actually dual boot. And the dev is amazingly helpful. Don't hesitate to report a bug to him.

I'll be honest, I don't think L is ready to be ported. I ran it three times on my n5. it is nice, but its buggy as heck. and there is no real source for it(to use). what's published is very incomplete. it also has kernel changes and new binaries that aren't published. you can't build a nexus 5 ROM from it.
