[Q] Nexus One Developer Phone?

Hi. Sorry if I posted this on the wrong thread, but I have a question about the Nexus One developer edition. I have read that 2.3 will be released first to people with the developer version Nexus One. When I purchased mine directly from Google, I was not a developer, but I made an app and when I register to become a developer, will my phone and Google register this change and give me the update at the same time as the people with developer phones?
Thanks in advance.

Just wait till XDA gets a hold of it. Doesn't usually take long at all

my guess its either a nexus one sold BY google, or a nexus one with a google account registered as a developer (25 bucks)

this.
Someone will log the download URL and post that, and then someone will mirror the OTA... and then someone will take it apart and hack it to work on non-stock phones, and then we win in a matter of hours.
Way faster than just waiting for the OTA.

Remember the first Froyo release? That was for developer ones as well. It will install on stock phones no problem once the OTA url is discovered.

And that's why I prowl XDA like 20 times a day

urs is a developer phone if u bought directly through google nuff said

if you have an Nexus One it's usually quite trivial to update (by downloading the update image from Google), even if the update doesn't get pushed to you

[Q] So; how often do you guys check for the 4.2 OTA?

I've decided to be patient, and only checks like 5-10 times a day :silly:
On a more serious note: On Google's Nexus page they write:
Nexus 7 comes with Android 4.2, the latest version of the world's most popular mobile platform.

Are Google shipping new Nexus 7 with 4.2? If they are, surely they should be able to release an OTA?

I check when somebody on the forums confirms its release.
I'm very passive that way.

no point in checking now....when 4.2 gets pushed to AOSP you WILL see it everywhere. and then the devices should get it within the day.
save your fingers, i think you are going to need them on the 13th (official launch of the nexus 4 and nexus 10)

I'm not going to get AOSP 4.2 since i'm on AOKP. Just don't wanna miss some of it's features. But some tim aftere release there will also be AOKP 4.2

What update.
Google will personally call everyone who owns a nexus 7 Tablet two hours before its release . During the call you will be given information on how to obtain this Life saving Technological Breakthrough. They will also explain to you the update procedure. Google will also get your mailing address as to where to send you a refund check for the full amount of the cost of Android 4.1.2 . The check refund is to say they are sorry for having to wait for the new Os. If you mention 3 times while on the phone with them about . thats 3 times talking bad about apple and Ms They will increase your refund by 3x .. Please be prepared to do a short online survey (required).
On topic.. I do not check The day it comes as soon as i log into the forums i will see all the post from all of you guys checking for me...
Have a nice day The above story comes direct from the small part of my brain that does not as i tell it to..

I'll check around the 14th. No point really in checking before then.

NFL Mobile + root = no go???

So as some of you may already know, the latest update for the NFL Mobile app (came out this morning I think) has officially killed its functionality with rooted (or "non stock Android") devices. A story on Android Police can be see here.
At any rate, I saw a recent post on a GSIII forum (here)where the user claimed to have a workaround which, among other things, involved renaming the superuser.apk, however if you're using CM nowadays then you'll know there really isn't a separate apk - instead it is now integrated into the rom. That being said, does anyone have any idea similar to this that might work for tricking the app into thinking it isn't running on a rooted unit? I have no clue myself, but seeing as how no one has started a dedicated thread for this in the forum of the current Google flagship phone, I thought I'd get things started.
Thanks in advance people!

Well I guess it looks like no one has any ideas...? Oh well, a rare swing-and-a-miss for solutions in the xda community

A quick fix would be to just find the apk for an older version and install that one. That's what I'm currently trying to do, there's no reason for then to block us from using it just because we're rooted.

Well yeah, I mean I already uninstalled and then restored a backed up version of the app using Titanium Backup. The problem is - and if you've been a user of the NFL apps over the last year or two then you'll know this - that the NFL app is not like most apps where each upgrade just adds some incremental upgrades or changes. With this app the upgrades are typically pushed out right before the start of the key timeframes of the NFL season: usually an update right before preseason; another before the start of the regular season; another at the start of the playoffs; another right before the Super Bowl; and once more right before the draft in April. Each update is specific to that time period of the season and usually contains the critical information/tweaks/additions/UI alterations specific for that segment of the year. Point being, after missing an update or two, the app becomes extremely outdated and eventually useless. And that's why, in the mid-to-long term, just using the older version of the apk unfortunately isn't a useful alternative. Damn you NFL! Now we just have to hope the xda community will come to the rescue as they usually are able to do

Ooooh gotcha. I didn't realize that that's how NFL ran their app. That's really annoying.

i'm not rooted, but that does seem like somebody went off the deep end with this app. rooting a device won't hurt their revenue, in fact, it will probably increase it from allowing ALL Android (and iOS) devices access the app. instead, they're cutting off access to a HUGE chunk of their fans, present and future. in essence, they're biting the hand that feeds them.
i voted the app down in the app store out of principal alone.

I am extremely displeased with this as well and am searching for a solution. Leave it to Verizon to try to control how you use YOUR phone.

hey is this an nfl app for verizon or a market version for all?

From what I gather there are two different versions - the one that comes on Verizon phones, and the one that anyone else can grab from the Play Store. I have the Play Store version (as a TMo customer).

Awesome, sounds good
Just in posting my thread I got a ton of hits of people freaking out about the new app...lol

FYI, they have fixed the app and it is now working perfectly fine on rooted devices strait from the play store

I might be the only one it's not working for. Wondering if anyone can help.
I cannot get 95% of the buttons to work in the Fantasy section of the app. Not only that, when I said 'to hell with the app' and went to their mobile site (which looks exactly like the app), I got the same thing... 95% of the buttons on the mobile site wouldn't do anything.
Now, on my N7, everything works fine.
Any ideas?
Edit: It was Ad Away. Can't use the app while it's running. Now I'll try to find the hosts file and see if I can edit the NFL entries out of it.

[REF][GPE] HTC One Google Play Edition Stock OTA URLs

Hi Everyone,
As I do with many Nexus devices, I intend to maintain a thread here with links to all the stock OTA updates for the HTC One Google Play Edition. Each time there is an OTA update, its direct link on Google's servers will be posted here for reference and posterity. I also mirror these files at http://www.randomphantasmagoria.com/htc-one/m7_google.
Any questions about flashing these OTA updates can be discussed and answered here as well.
You must have S-OFF on your bootloader in order to flash OTAs manually on a GPE One.

This space for sale, rent, or lease.

Considering that HTC has delivered the GPE KitKat update to Google for release, it's logical to expect it to begin rolling out this week or next. If anyone gets the OTA update, please get the filename of the OTA ZIP before applying it. You can find it in your /cache folder if you're rooted. If you're not rooted, the process is a bit more involved. PM me for details.
Thanks!

DOH! Stupid typos. My bad. I fixed it. Thanks for pointing it out.

Thanks to XDA forum member @EthanFirst, we now have the link to the direct OTA update for JDQ39 to JWR66Y. Thank you!

Thank for create forum. :good:

How to get the OTA URLs
The easiest way to get the OTA URLs is to search in the output of:
Code:
adb shell dumpsys dropbox --print event_log
On Linux this can be done with "grep":
Code:
adb shell dumpsys dropbox --print event_log | grep android.clients.google.com
This can be done even after the update.

Wonder if tomorrow will vebthe day now that n4 and other nexus devices have gotten full access to otas. And moto x devices are starting to get it.

I did the GPe conversion to my phone and got an OTA message only to realize it was another 4.3 update. I hope today is the day. I really hope Google isn't sitting on it until Samsung gets the S4 GPe update to them.

I really am sad to this GPe stuff, the idea is great, but something always fails: if isn't a delay by HTC, it's a delay from Google and we stay watching damn Motorola getting updates...
I thought that it would come after N4 OTA (wich sucks but I can understand), now it seems like we are waiting for Samsung update, probably the delays are just Google marketing at work...
15 days is pretty good for deliverance but first time we prayed for 15 days, now we pray for 15 work days...
My opinion? We are not getting 4.4 update before December. Now I know why my previous phones were nexus and my next probably will be too...

The GPE updates aren't scheduled together. The HTC One GPE got JWR66Y almost a week before the GS4 did. Also, it appears there were some problems with those initial KitKat builds. I'm sure that has something to do with the delays. For me, 3 weeks after a full Nexus rollout is acceptable. A full Nexus rollout did not start until about 3 days ago. KRT16O only launched for N7 and N10 wifi models, and was quickly pulled. KRT16S started about 3 days ago and THAT is the one that is seeing rollout to the complete Nexus line. So, as far as I'm concerned, my 3 week counter began 3 days ago.

HTC is still claiming that the timing is up to Google, at least on their Twitter. https://twitter.com/HTCUSA/status/403666789080375296
They have made no indications that they need to use a new build or re-deliver code to Google.

Nexus 6P Update (Google Assistant , Pixel Features)

Hey guys.
Just heard that Google is actually releasing the Google Assistant to some devices , including the 6P , through the Google play services.
Seems like Google is giving us more Pixel Features , so first the dialler and messaging apps and stuff like that , now we're getting the assistant.
Does anyone know when we are going to get it ? (Heard something like next week)
And does anyone know what Google is actually doing , are they going to give us the pixel launcher , the blue accents , the solid navigation buttons? Let me know is you know anything about this. Thanks !! ✌?✌?✌?

No it doesn't, very little does, but there are rules in place for a reason, so we don't have anarchy with people posting wherever they feel like. However, the next time someone comments that you posted in the wrong section, maybe realise that it's not an attack or an insult to your intelligence but rather simply pointing out that you did something you shouldn't have and helping by passing along the information instead of trying, and subsequently failing, to be a smartass. If I had reported the thread or had it deleted then you'd have a right to be upset if even if I said you were stupid or negligent then again you'd have the right but alas no, but I'll be sure to point it out to you next time.
Goodnight gentlemen.

Post has been reported to facilitate transfer to the correct thread. No need to start any arguments. So chill
@op The Voice Assistant update is a staged roll-out, meaning more and more users will get it within the next few days. No one really knows the full extent of Google's plans for bringing pixel features to other devices like the Nexus line. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
All I can say is that such initiatives are welcome, especially if the changes are not merely cosmetic in nature, but instead add useful features to our device.

So yeah ... Did anyone get the assistant during the week ?
