Here's a good detailed review of the Nextbit Robin, figure I share here and get some kind of discussion going.
What do you guys think?
Are you happy with the device?
What could be better if you're not happy?

Keep in mind that there are Nextbit employees in this very forum so who knows, you might bring up something that is not on their radar for an update or possibly their next device

Didn't really know where to put this, sorry if this is in the wrong spot.
I am new here, been coming here for a few months. Been enjoying the help and advice in the Eris section, and loving GSB.
I own a BMW, and there are few options for a good looking aftermarket head unit. Until now..
A company named Dynavin makes OEM looking head units, but throws in features of an aftermarket stereo. And now... with an Android section to the radio. They had been using Windows, but are testing out Android on it.
I am currently in a waiting list to purchase one, but I was wanting to ask if there is any way someone with knowledge of ROM development could look into this device a little bit. It is built to use as a tablet in the car, but from what I have read on the device, the major complaints seem to be that it is running a ROM that is more phone-focused.
Anyway, if anyone wants to check out the device, the following links are good references:
http://jandtdistributing.com/dynavi...ts/bmw-units-and-accessories/dvn-e46-android/
and for a more detailed description of the unit:
http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=839753
If there is no way to help (I do not know the first thing about development), then it is still an awesome concept that I hope catches on in other companies.
In the e46fanatics forum there's a guy called TXRobd who is a developer from this XDA-developers and is willing to tune the Android. I don't know which is the right place, maybe it has to be this forum, but it would be awesome.
Hi guys! I'm Vendetta, and I am a freelance graphic/web designer and a Captivate Glide user.
I personally enjoy coming up with new inventive ways to brighten up, alter, or improve the
graphical user interface of Android devices, since I am Glide user, I have chose to focus
on themeing mainly for this phone. Granted when CMX is released for us by DMan and the
other developers, I will also begin themeing for CM as well.
Anyway, the point of this thread, is to get some feedback from you guys about what are some
ideas for themes you'd enjoy seeing on your device. I'd appreciate some ideas, as I am mostly
themeing for others to use, it would certainly help with my future projects if I could have some
ideas the community would truly enjoy. So what I am asking, is toss up some ideas about what
you want your phone to look like, your input can be as simple or elaborate as you'd like.
I am already working on the Glide's first theme which can be found in the Glide Theme and Apps
section, so my next project will largely be guided on what you guys are looking for. So take up
the opportunity to get your ideas put into motion. I feel this could be a great way to truly spice
up our device. I feel collaboration and sharing ideas is a great way to kickstart the opening up
of our device and open up the options I and you guys have for our device. Since I am not a strong
programmer, this is my way of giving back to the community here. So throw up some ideas and lets
get some collaboration going, and really bring our device alive.
It should go without say, if I use your ideas in any of my projects, you will receive credit for the idea
or inspiration.
Thanks for reading guys, and I look forward to your ideas!

Awesome! I haven't had themes on my phone since my Sony Ericsson k850i. My trend back then was usually really simple looking & kiddish. Like I had one with a paper like background and then the fonts / icons looked like they were cutely hand drawn by a 5 year old.
Hey everyone!
Just wanted to ask a couple questions and start another discussion thread for those of us that have Oreo installed on our devices.
Questions:
With twrp on oreo, what's the status on the flashable version?
Anyone currently or thinking about creating new roms, kernels, etc for the device?
Lastly, what are some things that the nondevs here can do to help us all out?
Hope to see some good discussions
Thanks in advance!
Idk anything about the status of TWRP, so I can't help you there. Overall, I know there was an effort to get a device to a dev, and it was successful. Invisiblek now has one. Looks like he's working on lineage, which is super awesome.
The device now has a repo on the lineage github, so you can see work is being done. As for a timeframe, no clue, just have patience and know that it'll be released once it's ready. We're fortunate that Moto has already updated us to Oreo and it's a pretty stock interface. Only way they could've done better in my view would have been to update the device to support project treble, but that's an entirely different story.
That's about all I know, hope it helps somewhat.
Patience indeed. It'll move along at some point. Next to Sony, I think Moto has one of the cleanest implementations of Android, so it's definitely bearable.
Plus, with the price dropping into "steal" territory, I see more smart ppl coming this way.
Yea thank you guys! I'm being as patient as can be and I just wanted to have a thread here were any and all of us curious folks can have a place to talk about the upcoming of this device and the near future development holds for it. I didn't know it was on lineages repo so that's awesome to hear! That's a perfect example of why I created this post, just to spread the word into one forum and just have a couple chats with everyone about the moto.
Cheers guys, hope to hear more from others too!
Yes you read well, I am leaving and I won't support this device anymore. I've my Z17 for sale and I'm going to buy Huawei's Mate 10, I'm bored about Z17 and I want to try new devices, I really miss a bigger screen, 5.5" are too small for me.
This means that I won't release any custom ROM more, maybe the last one based on Nubia UI if a new update is released before I sell it...
Anybody can use my ROMs to made anothers, the only thing I would request is credit for my work.
Currently for me the best ROMs availables for Z17 are Miui 8.2.2 from SY and RR from SY too(Mokee too, but it has less customizations). So after flashing every ROM available for Z17 this is my feedback, I hope this will help somebody.
It was a pleasure mates, I hope you could enjoy this awesome device!
Sorry to hear.
Thank you so much for all the work you put into this. Since I'm on that Miui international, i'm pretty happy with it.
When i bought that phone i didnt quite think through there wouldnt be as much support as for a nexus...
I am Sorry to Hear that,
but i want Say Thank You , to arceoxis too.
Have lot of Fun with Your new Phone.
thank you for you nice works and helps .
also ım thınkıng to buy mate 10 pro.
Hi,
Thanks for your job. The Nubia Z17 goes the same way than my Jiayu S3 ADV.
No support from Nubia, nor from Jiayu (they are dead now).
May be you can explain to some of us how to continue your work.
May be I should change my phone to, to an international release. Later
Have luck (for your studies) and fun (for every thing)
Thank you for you big works and helps .
No more nubia devices in my life.
Thank you again bro.
I'm glad to see that more than 3 weeks later you're still around and active
Maybe if you stick around until june (or so goes the rumor) the official 8.1 update might get the phone back it's value

I couldn't sell the phone, so I'll keep it some time more. Anyway I won't be as active as before, because I'll be so busy until summer...
I am Sorry to Hear that
You may be asking, "Why was my Telegram or Whatsapp thread closed/post removed?"
Well, it's just becoming too much.
Going forward, we will only allow one Telegram chat link on a development thread by the ROM's developer and only if thorough support is still provided in the ROM thread on XDA.
All discussion channels, photography channels, whatnot channels will be strongly discouraged and removed with immediate effect. Please reference the forum rules:
Quote:
Self-promotion is forbidden, this includes blogs, social media and video channels etc. Random links will be removed.
Also, we now have an official XDA Discord Server. We would encourage you to try it out.
Thanks,
The Moderation Team

In fact , we can't sell anything on XDA ( see the forum rules ) , but if the discussion doesn't go any further here , that ok ??
Hi! I also have a red 'Ember' Nextbit Robin that I've never seen anywhere else, so I was thinking someone might be interested in it as a collector's item perhaps? Does anyone know what the best place to sell it might be?

You may sell it on Swappa, that a good market place ( but you'll only sell it in US ) .
Or you can keep it in case one of the devs here breaks his phone, so can keep developing ROMs for this device
Need power button flex
Do someone sell his nextbit or just the power button with flex cable?
Thx
