It was a fun ride - Gen9, Gen10 General

Hey guys, the G9 broke for the second time and I was getting tired of arches poor firmware support, so I jumped ship to the Nexus 7. I've had it for 10 minutes....and I LOVE it! I'll stop by occasionally to give a little support, say hi, and update my root thread. If someone is interested in taking over the root guide, shoot me a PM. you guys have a great community here in the G9 section and some damn awesome developers. See ya around guys.

Not so much goodbye as c'ya later, hopefully not too long either, Google are saying it will complete UK shipping on the pre-orders by the end of next week and there is one such order with my name it The Price in UK Sterling is an absolute steal for such a device,cheaper then Archos....
How does triple buffer butter taste :silly: (I say this adopting the tip-toed stance of an inquisitive child trying to catch an early glimpse of the action. ) :laugh:
It looks like I might be doing another round of 3G Dongle Enabling, if some one hasn't already beat me too it... I should be able to get the archos 3G Stick working with it
What can we say about the Archos Gen9's?
The hardware specification was pretty solid. although the early SD Card based ones could have done with more memory.
The hardware Implementation was "shoddy" and the Archos official firmwares seem to come with they own unique set of issues which is probably down to working around unpredictable hardware behaviour as much as anything else.
Based on the G9 Series ; It is not a brand I would recommend to anyone who just wants/expects there device to work .
I had to repair the Full Size USB Port and My Screen has been "broken" since pretty much day 1, This has been a mixed blessing really as I've found new and interesting ways of interacting with the device.
The Community! There's not many of us that got "tricked" with the Special Developer Edition nonsense.... :laugh: But I will say this, Some of the Hardware Wizardry that goes on leaves me in awe. Jacking in with UART is not a place I've ever been too but it's fascinating watching this device get owned by some very knowledgeable people ( or should that be pwnd ).
So overall probably 6/10 for the device ( coming from a developers/tinkers viewpoint ) 10/10 for the work that the community have done and will continue to do.....

10/10 for the awesome community and devs for sure! The community on the G9 forums might even be better than those on the Droid INC forums (that's saying something!)
I'm lovin the taste of this butter...never before have I seen such a beautiful android experience!

Swap for nexus one!?

Small, almost non existent dev sector (big up to paul for pushing something!), and no pledges for gingerbread or eta for froyo. Nexus will get all of these!!!! What do you guys think? Would the swap be worth it? What do you think about pros and cons...
Great specs for galaxy s internals boy reflected by ux, low ram etc. any comments!?

Maybe because this device was launched two weeks ago?
See it this way: in one week Leshak got root, and in two weeks Paul made the first version of his Modaco Custom Rom.
Just give it some time, please....
Little too much focus on will it get this, will it get that? What it has now is cracking. The phone doesnt _need_ the updates, but will get them anyway, weither from Samsung or XDA. Its an awesome phone, and as we've seen MoDaCo has got us off to a great start.
Just be a little patient. The phone has been rooted in the first week already !!
Anyway, if it turns out Gingerbread won't be made available for the Galaxy by that time there will be plenty of dumped second hand Nexus one's available to buy.
For now the Nexus is just not able to compete with the Galaxy.
just wait until they launch it in the US, and things will move faster
by the way verizon will get a flash on their handset
This was meant to be a discussion not a character assassination! The american launches will help, assuming there aren't subtle differences and key mapping isn't too hard!

Hazz, if you check the marketplace, people are doing trades all the time... check it out, post in the correct place... maybe you'll get better results....

Just got my E4GT!

My company finally upgraded our team away from the rancid display that is "Blackberry Enterprise Server" and we've gotten to choose our phone.
I chose Sprint/E4GT; where as everyone else selected droid bionic with VZW.
The phone is simply amazing. I've really been amazed at this community and looking forward to seeing all the development that's happening. Still trying to decide on rooting yet; may be waiting till stock rom available.
I've been searching/reading this forum for the better part of 3 days straight while waiting for my preorder to come in - Figured it's time to get myself started on the 10 posts. I've never owned anything but blackberries due to work so I am as happy as humanly possible right now.
Looking forward to being a part of this community. Plz dont flame a noob for saying hello!
whats up and the phone is pretty amazing isn't it?
Im getting mine till friday. stupid ups....

Welcome
Hello, you made the right choice 8p

Atrix got CM9 ICS ROM!!

Yup, the Atrix 4G, the phone I was previously on, which my mom is currently using, just got a CM9 ICS ROM -_-;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445052
We need to start moving and trying to get ICS on the Nitro. Even the Rezound also got AOSP ICS port, albeit some things still borked.
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/htc-rezound-gets-pure-aosp-ice-cream-sandwich-port/
Despite all the talk of starting slow with some improvement ROMs and maybe a CM7, I hate to say this, but we need to get either CM9 or ICS, or at least some kind of progress towards it. Every phone out there, old and new, are getting ICS or CM9 infused into them, I don't believe we can't do so with ours. We will spark much more interest in people and members here and maybe even more Devs if we bring ICS to the table. What do you guys/gals think?
I agree.
This is my first Android device and I really enjoy it a lot, thus I hope this phone can get a lively community of mods, roms, etc. At the same time, the SGSII LTE HD will be launching on AT&T soon, and I think that in order for this community to thrive we need ICS before this launch. The SGSII LTE HD is just about equal to the Nitro HD as far as specs are concerned, many who demand 720p and LTE will have the choice between the Samsung and the LG. Due to reputation, Samsung will undoubtedly outsell the Nitro.
I write this not to be **** and try to boss around people who donate their time and receive no more than some meaningless "Thanks" count. I am very appreciative that we have people like Bytecode, Kernelpanic, Cloudraker, and Malnilliom. (sorry if I left some people out, these guys just came to mind)
Lastly, does anyone know where to get guides on doing things like "ROM-cooking" and CM ports. Like I said, this is my first Android phone and I really don't know where to begin looking for this kind of information.

Yeah, I didn't even know about the Skyrocket HD until someone mentioned it here on our thread, and I immediately thought to myself, "Aww F*** we are screwed now". I think it's a **** move by AT&T to release their "flagship" phone under LG and then less than a month later announce the Skyrocket HD. Sorry to say this, had I known they were gonna release the Skyrocket HD, I would've waited for it over the Nitro. But alas, what's done is done, there's no need to cry over spilled milk, the best thing to do is to move on and prove we have the better phone than Samsung does. Anyways, I never was a fan of Samsung Phones since they started making phones. I find they always look..cheap
So with that, again like red solo cup said, thank you to all who have contributed countless amount of time n effort to support us; Let's bring it to the next level!

Best of luck. LG phones usually have mediocre/poor dev support.
Heh , Dont have a nitro but i just synced CodeAurora ICS Port for MSM8660 (thanks to codeaurora for making life a bit easier for qcom products) , My first Task would be to port the kernel , Test it with CWM (before i brick my friend nitro)

Does it mean great things when our device is on the main page? Or will it still get overlooked. Not being sarcastic, really curious.

I'll be here but i can't port anything to any device as i'm not that knowledgable i could bring stock heavily modified roms though.

I didn't say anything was great, I would not know what great means in terms of development on a phone released 7 weeks ago.
N
In that time span a cwm has been developed and 2+ roms with atleast one more announced on the mainpage so someone here at xda seems to think that warrants front page headlines so I am trustin their judgement as well as acknowledging the hard work devs have already accomplished.
It all sounds good to me. I'm new to all of this so I just don't know what to expect.

Im very curious what Revolution is trying to bring to the table with his Domination HD Rom. More as the story progresses
WE should not even be thinking about sense/CM9 roms on here for awhile.
Quite frankly, I don't think CM will ever get around to making a ROM for this phone.
CM9 is being ported to the Lag Nitro by Ricardo Cerqueira. Head out to his Google+ to see what he's done.

Farewell to the Gliders!

Long story short - because of Tegra2's lack of support which I failed to envision when I bought my Glide, I sold it in order to hunt for something new and well-supported. It seems that T-Mo's beastly Galaxy S Relay 4G is once again available and is cheaper now, so I might or might not grab one.
Before departure, I'd like to sincerely thank @bubor, @kick buttowski, @spyke555 and others who brought to us the many close-to-perfect AOSP ROMs I've been using. Especially @bubor, who patiently gave me a lot of help on minor issues. Seriously, you guys ROCK the Tegra world! :thumbup:
I also thank everyone who appreciated my assistance around here - without you guys I would've lost my motive to check up on XDA everyday.
I'll still occasionally check up on here and offer a hand, but until then... Au revoir.

Will there be any development for the pixel c?

I know this is a question no one can answer at this point, but what do you guys think? Will there be at least as much development for this device as compared to the nexus tablets?
I've never owned an android tablet before, and was waiting for this opportunity, but if there will be very little development, i don't see the point of getting the pixel c.
Any thoughts?
Where do I start?
1. A question does not belong in general
2. Asking this sort of question is disrespectful
If you want development then pay someone to develop for you. Or take a crack at it yourself.
For all we know some badass dev is working on a badass rom for us in the background.

1. Thought i is for general. If it is not the case I would like to ask a mod to move it to the appropriate place.
2. How is this even remotely disrespectful? This is a general question, directed towards no one specific, and not being judgmental what so ever.

Your questions is about the equivalent of asking a a dev when there will be an ETA for an update to his/her rom. Its almost like an unspoken rule, that Googles devices will be getting custom roms, and some of the BEST ones at that. I am sure the pixel line up will be just like the nexus when it comes to having a great development community.
@Jhonys I think people are being a little harsh to you, man. It's a legitimate question that I have been wondering myself. There has been a lot of negativity towards the Pixel C. There are a lot of people on here complaining about issues with the Wifi and touchscreen. Also, it hasn't been getting great reviews. I don't know how I feel about the reviews because, save for PC Mag, all of the reviews just poopoo the fact that it isn't great for productivity. I understand that it is more focused on productivity than general tablet use, but that doesn't mean it isn't an absolutely fantastic tablet. I just use mine to read and play games while I poop, as well as the occasional in-flight entertainment. I think it is by far the best Android tablet for my usage scenario and I really want there to be a large community for it. Regarding ROM development, I know that @BeansTown106, who makes the absolutely fantastic Pure Nexus ROM's, has said in these forums that he plans on getting a Pixel C and developing for it. I am really looking forward to his ROM. I also hope TWRP releases a recovery soon and we can get a basic root going.

Thanks for your answer. I too think it's a legitimate question and was quite surprised with the attitude, but that doesn't really matter atm.
The thing is I really don't want to get a tablet which will die slowly because of lack of development. I already did that mistake twice with my smartphones (most recently the HTC m9 which has 2 great AOSP roms but that's about it). Just got the nexus 6p for that reason exactly and want the same with a tablet.
Regarding the usage, I'm also not looking for a productivity tablet. More to read pdf books (student), and watching movies while flying (which I do quite a bit). How do you find its performance? Does it lag or stutters when you try to watch full HD movies or browsing the web etc? All the reviews I've seen so far focus more on the productivity aspect of it.
Thanks again :good:

Performance wise, it has been a dream for me. I have streamed some high bitrate 1080p x264 movies over my wireless network using Kodi 15.2 and it was smooth as silk. Web pages scroll just as smoothly or smoother than on my Nexus 6P or when I had my Nexus 9. I have some issues with the design of the tablet, namely the placement of the speakers and front facing camera, but otherwise, it is by far the best tablet I have ever owned.
I'm assuming it won't be long before there is a full linux distro running on this - as well as a way to run chrome. Hard to be sure if or when though - its not something to _expect_ when making a purchase now...

This post single handedly pushed me into hitting the "submit order" button on the Pixel C. Had it in my cart for two weeks... was just waiting for a sign. Thanks man, if it does half of what it did for my Nexus 6 I am a happy person.
