Anyone make/making the leap? - Nexus 6 General

Kali Linux 2.0 was released yesterday and with that release came an ARM version built for Lollipop, more specifically Nexus 6/9 and One+.

For the laypeople, what's the significance of this? New kernels?

Kali Nethunter is an add-on for certain devices that brings some great pentesting tools to mobile. Laypeople need not apply

Ya I thought it was an entire ROM now and not just a toolset. Loaded it last night and was disappointed but it is nice to expand the ol' toolbox.

I did not know this had been released. Thank you for the heads up. I wonder if the Nexus 6 wifi chip is capable of monitor mode. The Nexus 7 was not, and required an external dongle.

Backtrack running on my S3

Last night I spent about 30 mins setting up backtrack, it was a lot easier than I thought. I did use the free app backtrack installer from the market, it provides all the links to everything you need.
You do need to be rooted though.

Here a easy install for backtrack 5 arm.
Comes with all the apps and bt5.zip
Plus aircrack soon to be installed.
If everything goes right all you need is a
5 pin usb to micro usb
and a alfa card.
msfupdate*is already updated so no hours of waiting to update.

I'm doing native BackTrack 6 "Kali" =)
Based on Ubuntu Phone UI!
The important thing is, does the data injection work ?

WP8?

I was intending to buy this device for JB, and because it's cool, but I was wondering, do you guys think there's any chance of installing WP8 into this device?
It would be nice.
not a chance whatsoever

Lol didn't mean to thank you, twas a accident.
But anyways, Widows 8 for ARM uses a module called a Trusted Platform Module. Afaik, it is a hardware chip that basically locks the device to Widows 8. That is on top of the signed images and secure boot type of stuff.

we might be able to run windows 8 given that the surface also uses tegra 3, so there could be a possibilty there, just saying, but windows is a pretty good os not that bad like you think, actually not bad at all.

Interesting thing though. The new Microsoft surface tablets use the exact same processor ours do. But, no not gonna happen unless we reach an HTC HD2 level of compatibility

Did nobody read what I wrote? This is not an issue of drivers/compatible hardware/supported hardware or anything like that.
This is an issue of Microsoft locking Windows 8 for ARM to certain tablets using secure boot implemented in the UEFI. They are also using TPMs to lock the tablets to Windows 8.

You don't want a windows 8 device. I have the HTC Titan and I've tried to live with a really limited app selection but it just doesn't work. There isn't even an official Pandora app, and a lot of others are glitchy as hell. The os is pretty bad ass but with JB being as smooth as it is wp7 loses a lot of appeal. My NGex arrives tomorrow.

Actually what your talking about locks windows to the surface tablet, not the other way around. You can easily emulate an insecure UEFI instance, after all that's how hackintoshes work

So, in retrospect, it could be possible to port Windows 8 RT to android devices?

Actually, I do want a Windows 8 device. I'm using a WP7.5 HD2 now. It's not as bad as you say, and as I don't use Pandora, it's not an issue for me. Also, most of the apps I use are not glitchy at all. What are you using?
I'm also not crazy about having that many apps on my device, so I'm totally fine with it. WP7 is a wonderful OS, please don't put it down just because you prefer something else.

Nexus 4 port?

Anyone know if there is one?

I don't know if there is one, but it would be nice if there was a port.

there is only the x86 based sdk which you can download and start develop from sailfishos.org . good luck.
I am more of a electronic person than a software/programmer I know a bit but not enough. I can look into though.
NEXUS 4
ROM: CM 10.1 Nightlies
Kernel: Faux123

AW: Nexus 4 port?
There are no ports or images for any devices. There's only one image for the Nokia N950 that you can build yourself from meet source in theory. But afaik you can't get the Jolla UI. You could try to build mer with nemo mobile for a nexus device. That sounds doable to me.

Jolla is a group consisting of mostly ex-Nokia employees. Considering that, if their culture is anything like Nokia, they are more worried about selling hardware. MeeGo/Maemo was open sourced out of their control. I will be interested to see if we ever see their proprietary UI open sourced. The good news is that as was pointed out, all Sailfish apps will be able to run on MeeGo/Maemo derivatives like Mer.
MAYBE only MAYBE i will port it for GT-i9000 and someone can port it for nexus ... Only MAYBE when i got no exams and so on .. Dont make any hopes it is only mabe

Jolla acctually demostrated a Nexus 7 with Sailfish ported during the conference in China, doesn't function 100% well. But you can at least see the possiblity.

They are hardware guys without hardware. I don't think they have ANY hardware partners yet. I have only seen it running on old Nokia hardware, which I guess says something for its speed.
They love showing off that ambiance thing, but you can do the same effect with CSS and JavaScript on a web page, so I question if what they are showing is not just a trick, or if it is REALLY the OS, because the SDK has NONE of the interface they keep showing off.

Double tap to unlock idea is worthless in my opinion. But I'd love to see that OS in Nexus devices.

You can get double tap to unlock with the PGM app. Though that's for specific devices. Trust me, double tap to unlock is awesome!

It can be used for daily use, but it's not recommended because it's not complete and is very buggy.

I have it on my Nexus 5 and its stable enough to use as a daily driver in my opinion. its fast and everything works except a couple apps because of art and design changes,

Firefox OS for iPhone 4

I have this iPhone 4 that I don't use, and I remember from something I read (probably an official Mozilla forum) about the iPhone being supported but I can't find the page again. I was wondering if anyone knew about a port of Firefox OS for the iPhone 4?
Sent from my LG-LS980 using XDA Free mobile app
I really don't see how it would be possible to run Firefox os on an I phone because i believe is based in Linux and would require a Linux kernel. I'm pretty sure that iOS devices are not based in Linux so you would need a new motherboard compatible with the I phone hardware that ran android
sent from my nex7
I think there' s no possibilty to see firefox on iPhone!
It makes sense that it wouldn't work, but I thought iOS was UNIX based?
Sent from my LG-LS980 using XDA Free mobile app
I'm really not sure if it is Unix or linux based since I don't really do anything with Firefox os but either way there's no way I would run on an iphone
sent from my nex7
Aside from needing drivers for the hardware (which I imagine isn't completely proprietary to the iOS hardware), FFXOS needs an unlocked bootloader to work.
I'm not entirely sure the bootloader on any iOS device has been successfully replaced yet.
Why dont you sell the iphone and buy a Nexus instead? Fully supported by Mozilla and a Tier 1 device.
it's impossible
