[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.

Root?

It seems that root hasn't been achieved yet? What is up with that, especially on a Nexus device?

Ok, well someone JUST posted a method, but it doesn't seem to be foolproof. Why are developers having such a hard time on a Nexus device?

You think it could be because very few people have one yet, and of those few even fewer are real developers, and they've had them for a very short amount of time, and it's a brand new OS version and unique hardware? Just sayin'.

The problem is Android 4.2 - not so much the device. It's breaking a LOT of stuff (OTG, CIFS, etc).
Since there is no "downgrade" for the Nexus 10, there isn't even an option to "go back" to 4.1.2 and "ride out the ride".

I was able to get the method in the devlopment forum to work.

Just switched from the m8

Not sure if I'm going to root yet as I'm still trying to get used to this phone. So far it seems ok.

Rooting will not change the phone experience in any way... Swapping ROMs improve it though.
Welcome to the Note 4, I'm sure you'll love it!

Let us know how your experience goes.
I really love my Note 4. I am currently running Infamous ROM 2.8 and the performance is incredible. It blows the stock ROM out of the water.

Welcome to a real camera

I'm in a similar situation. Came from using a nexus 4. Not sure if I want to root or which Samsung apps people tend to turn off and which they find useful. Fun stuff though. I think I'm gonna wait for lollipop update and decide then.

Go a week or more and then decide which apps you'd like to freeze or leave alone.
Should be enough time to get a feel for it and decide which apps you like.

I would like to know if there is any way to get the voice activation on Google now to work while S-voice is on

Oh, but it will.. And it does. Rooting alone allows you to do most of the things you can do on a custom ROM, but you're doing it to the stock ROM. Even without a custom recovery, you can still modify system files, freeze/uninstall system apps, run root apps, etc.

Oh I know that, but I meant rooting alone does not degrade the experience. As you rightfully said, the experience can be improved drastically while rooted even on stock firmware.

i also have an upgrade available but im not sure if i should use it on the note 4. it is tempting but in a few months the m9 will be here along with other s810 processor based devices. Plus i hear the n4s battery life isnt that great.

I would definitely root and flash a ROM asap. Stock rom is ok but any of the TouchWiz ROM for T Mobile will flat out just feel snappier.

Played with a n4 at bestbuy today. Lagged like hell for me. Even the samsung rep saw it. To say the least i walked away.

Welcome to the majors op. You'll love it. I had an m8 before. The freedom of having an unlocked bootloader, root, and plenty custom roms got me away from HTC, as well.
No more having to s-off and the firewater exploits being closed and lack of roms.

Where did you hear that the battery life isn't good?
I typically get 2.5 days per full charge with between 4.5 and 6 hours of screen on time per charge depending on if I am reading, or doing media (games, youtube).
If anything I would wait for the Note 5, but that will be a while. I'd suggest getting the Note 4 because it's quite simply a very amazing beast of a phone and then using JUMP to upgrade in 6 months if you so desire.

It's way easier to root the note 4:

Had to do one at my parents house.
It took me 10 minutes because I was downloading a rom, at the same time, and my parents internet sucks.

Which Best Buy? From what I've seen at nearly all my local Best Buy they only have dummy phones and none of them carry t mobile phones

Will the Nexus 6P see Multirom compatibility soon?

Hey gang,
I was a flashaholic for a long period of time with my nexus 5. Got much worse when Multirom was released for it. I'm assuming it's only a matter of time before the Nexus 6P has it, or is there something that could potentially prevent this?

BUMP! I was hoping to see this soon. Calling HSBADR!

I'm waiting for this as well.

It probably will be sooner or later. It was supported by the 5 & 6, so I'm sure he's probably working on it.
Patience. ????

All bets on it happing... when he is ready rock it!

Lol I'm so used to multirom. I keep thinking I can flash all roms at once

Hmm, theres an idea. Another possibility I was thinking about...
Has anyone considered trying to port it to our Angler? Maybe we can put some heads together?
To those of you poised to reply about how farfetched or unrealistic this is (you know who you are): please hold your horses/nuts/boobs/whatever you got before you poop on this idea by replying about how farfetched or unrealistic this is. In all honesty I don't know how ambitious this would be, but the dev provides a solid base to start from for anyone who wants to try and port mltrm to another device.
If you download the multirom app onto Angler and open it up, says it isn't supported and give the link to page that - from what I can tell - describes the porting process step-by-step. He says some knowledge of c+ is likely needed.
Anyway, I'm willing to give it a shot. Actually I'm going to give it a shot and anyone whose up for working together on this is more than welcome.

Any progress on this or is it too much for us uneducated?

If anyone do it, i also give him $

Is anyone working on this. Had Multirom on my Nexus 6 and I need it badly for my Nexus 6p
