DEVELOPERS ONLY
These builds are very unstable and should not be used on a daily base. It's pretty much just a preview of a preview. Use these builds at your own risk!
Ubuntu Touch is not ready for daily usage yet and these builds lack a lot of functionality usually available in Ubuntu Touch - you have been warned!
I will publish new builds when new features are done! Please do not aks for ETAs as this is very new stuff to work on, for me.
Code:

* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

This is very early port of Ubuntu Touch for the HTC One (M7 ul, att and tmo confirmed!!!)
This is a developer preview! Do not expect it to have every bell and whistle functional.
Have fun!

cant wait to try this
Looks cool, but is this based off the developer preview that was made for nexus devices back in February, cause I ran that'll my nexus 7 and it was barley usable because of its lack of functionality.
Anyways looks promising and I'll give this a try when it gets more stable or a port of the final version of Ubuntu touch is available and ported.
VERY COOL!! Thanks for this, can't wait to see it
This is a great day for HTC one users!!!
This is awesome! Cant wait to try it!
This will be interesting...
If this can be dual booted, it'll be quite exciting.

As a Linux guy that has ran Ubuntu since Hoary Hedgehog, I was thrilled to see this project and immediately installed the official preview on my Nexus 7 only to be extremely disappointed. It should be stressed that Ubuntu Touch is more like a whole new OS, rather than Ubuntu ported to ARM with a DE/WM optimized for small touch screens like phones and tablets.. Read up on Ubuntu Touch and it's current state before getting too excited..
With that said, I'm very excited to see this progress..
Great to see Ubuntu Touch coming to the One!
Thanks.

Sony confirms Xperia Play will not get Android 4.0, cites stability concerns
By Chris Welch 05.25.2012
A day after word spread that Sony's Xperia Play had vanished from its list of incoming Ice Cream Sandwich upgrades, the company has come forward and confirmed that the gaming-centric handset will not be making the jump to Android 4.0. "After extensive in house testing with our developer teams and working with our partners, we have concluded that a consistent and stable experience, particularly with gaming, cannot be guaranteed for this smartphone on Ice Cream Sandwich," says the post at Sony's Xperia Product Blog. "Therefore, we will not make the Android 4.0 upgrade available for Xperia Play."
According to Sony, a beta test conducted on unlocked Play units brought about similar concerns from users and developers. The news doesn't bode well for a product once heralded as the company's flagship PS Suite hardware —and the only such device to offer physical gaming controls. It's hard to see how Sony could add much in the way of new features if it's cautiously leaving owners behind on Gingerbread in hopes of preserving a consistent user experience. Despite what's presented as good intentions, we doubt Sony's explanation will provide much solace to those who are now forever bound to Android 2.3.

That's because they're not content in making a proper kernel and optimizing ICS for it's hardware. This is bogus.
They're plan of making cheapo ICS for the 2011 line of Xperia's failed because they know it just won't be up on par with Gingerbread.
They've done a terrible job with ICS for the other 2011 devices but it was permited at least for those as they're not gaming devices.
What I would like to know now is, if they'll bring 2.3.7 at least through an update with some fixed to the ROM. It's the least they could do after eating **** for almost an year with promises and bogus
Shame on you sony.
(F U C K S O N Y)
Repost.
Every single one of your posts oozes with intelligence and sofistication. Good job \sarcasm
I have no idea how some people still don't realise that it's not really Sony's fault. The problem is that the developers won't udate the Play optimized games for ICS so the phone will lose more than half of the game catalogie if it updates. Most of the Gameloft HD games don't work on ICS on any phone. If you really want ICS just install a custom ROM and that's it.
My friend installed official ICS on his Arc S and he reverted to Gingerbread less then a week later. Aside from the recent application menagment improvement it's really not that big of a deal, as it is we have a very optimized device, no need to fix what's not broken.
And for people asking for 2.3.7, read the changelogs and see what it brings. We'll never see it because it's not required on our phones. Cheers!
Delete thread please pax. At the very least this could have been put in the right section with the other people whining and posting the same thing.
Bull****.
If this was purported to be a "flagship" PS suite hardware, they should've done better than a f'kin Adreno 205 with a last gen 1Ghz Soc.
Sorry, but bull****.
You lose, Sony.
Again.
I really think it wasn't because of hardware...Sony must have cancelled because of the game contracts.

That's directly related to the hardware. Do you think game developers will spend precious time tweaking/tuning the hell outta their games so that it can run on the pansy ass Adreno 205 under ICS? hell no...
Now, if it was a decent SoC, they would have definitely considered.
So, the bottom line is : Sony failed in making their "flagship" a *real* Flagship... you know, something that can last f'kin atleast 1-2 years. But no... what did they do? Slapped a 1+ year OLD SoC in it and called it a "PS flagship".
It's the MSM8255. The HTC Desire HD had it in mid-2010, yep 2010. And the Play? Launched in mid 2011 with a f'kin one year old SoC.. flagship my ass.
I believe sony is right, the game dev's just aren't prepared to move all their xperia play games over to ICS, and from what we've seen, we don't really need their official ICS anyway, the community is doing fine without them. Supervenom's ICS AOKP Play! mod works just fine.

No one likes a big company lover .
Those games will get updates and they will run on ICS.
Fact is the ICS Sony cooked up sucks because it delivers way more horrible performance than Ginger.
Fact is even our ginger kernel is a froyo one with hacks to make it work for ginger.
Fact is our last update still needs improvements. By bringing 2.3.7 doesn't actually mean that the Google base has to bring improvements even though the code is cleaner and I have seen it working better than the older 2.3.4 even though changelog does not specify anything in that regard. They can just fix flaws and bring performance updates.
PS: Stop being the big head on a forum, the general public won't like you.
For me gb is great,and I love sony,more stable with hard games,

Thread Closed.
1) This is NOT Development Oriented, it doesn't belong in this subforum.
2) THERE IS A STICKY IN GENERAL FOR THIS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1673905
In the past:
processors were minimal (custom kernels and overclocking with CM helped fill in the gaps)
bloatware choked performance due to lack of space (CM eliminated bloatware)
GUI's were clunky and unintuitive (simplicity of CM, i.e. basic Android, was a necessity)
manufacturers added no value with their launchers and modifications (CM eliminated the manufacturer's oft ill conceived changes)
software updates lagged far behind Google updates.
And now:
processors work as is
space is plentiful, bloatware is not an issue
GUI's actually work
manufacturers are adding functionality
software updates are more current with Google changes.
So, I have to ask, what does CM bring to the table? When I put it on the Note 2, CM eliminated functionality without adding any improvements. I can't see where it would add anything to the Sony Xperia Ultra. I can see how it would take functionality away just like it did with the Note 2.
CM has redefined itself as an operating system. Its goal is to be the operating system for hardware manufacturers just like Android and Apple. Smart move. The CM we knew is no longer needed. Out of the box Samsung, HTC and Sony premium smart phones actually perform well, are being updated on a regular basis and have manufacturer added value. We have to think of CM as being the OEM operating system, not a replacement for Sony, Samsung and HTC Android operating systems.
CM is adding an app to the play store that will make it easy to install CM to devices. I see that as an acknowledgement to where it came from, not a step to its future. It will not be long before we buy Samsung, Sony and HTC phones with CM as the operating system.
I love Cyanogen. And is my point why I love android.
But unfortunately they trying to support many devices and they lose quality.
I remember how we was happy with G1 to see crazy benchmarking with Cyanogen., now it's lower than stock They said Sony is very friendly with the developers (source etc) but I remember Cyanogen on Xperia Z....it was bad experience I ever taste. And then it was a scandal with Samsung. They promise to stop supporting...... but as you see cyanogen is more business now than love.
And I know many developers who got same opinion as me.
But we still love them and we will love them.
While I agree with a lot of what you say... the note2 was very different. any device that has another piece of hardware that you use with it for a purpose, then CM wont work 'stand alone'. Samsung's note applications were great and thats where CM was left standing and waiting....
With the Ultra, it doesn't have any specific apps that take advantage of the 'sketch' application. There are loads that do the same, and even better on the playstore.
I can see CM being a clean neat feel. However it will need to be cleaner and smoother than the xperia UI for it to be a real advantage to flash.

I don't know, I prefer AOSP, so even if there's nothing else offered by CM, I'd still rather run it than Sony's ROM (not that this phone has a bad ROM; in fact, I've been surprisingly happy with it out of the box).
I'm not a fan of any manufacturer skin out there, so CM is what i flash when i want a "pure" and light ROM. It's all about looks and feel for me, and since CM is a barebone experience, i can make it my own from scratch. I have a Galaxy Note, and i've used CM on it for the past 15 months. I quickly noticed that i didn't use any of Samsung's bloatware or any other Samsung features, so why should i have to deal with it? Why should i let that crap run in the background? I'd rather just flash something that's completely "naked" from the start, and install and modify the things I WANT and need, not what Samsung want, or Sony, or HTC etc.
Granted, Sony isn't that bad when it comes to their custom skin. It's pretty light, and they haven't given Disco Stu a job as a UI designer (cough, Samsung), so i guess i'll keep my Ultra (soon to arrive) pretty stock in the beginning, and just install Nova when i've had enough of Sony's launcher. When i'm sick and tired of the whole Sony experience, i'll move on to CM.
CM of the past is gone?
i agree, because its moving to the future... cyanogenmod inc. ftw!
I do understand what the OP trying to say about the past. Because we needed so much modification to the software to make the phone run smoothly, and Android was very fragmented when it came to finding apps for your purpose. I had the HTC Desire PVT4, and my dad PVT1 with S-OFF and it was so much fun! This was when Android and the community was at it's best!
But today Android is more stable, it runs more independent, It's a lot faster. BUT what I get from it is the clean look, the speed and stability.
And I get my chance to customize my phone to my taste. Not how SONY want it, or HTC want it or how Samsung want to brag about their animations and proprietary apps. If someone tries to make a phonecall from my device, they can't..because they are not familiar to the look of my device and that's a good thing because I have a taste. I don't want the guy on the bus sitting next to me or behing me to have the exact same UI and wallpaper as me!!

FAQ
Ok, here a litte list of questions that has come in this young thread repeatedly:
[Q]Why is my battery draining so bad ?
[A1]: You have installed the rom in the last 24h. let it settle a little bit, jugde the battery after the initial day
[A2]: Change Location service to "Device only" because with Mobile and Wifi additionally it drains battery like hell on kitkat
[Q]Is eMail/Exchange/Google Dialer/Google Keyboard/Google Camera in this rom ?
[A]No, this is a fully deploated Rom. We advice you to use Banks GApps and then Banks Gapps-Addons for addition stuff you need, so you can set your system like you want it
[Q]Will you add Theming support/Pie/Halo to this rom ?
[A]No, this feature will never ever under no circumstance make their way to PSX
[Q]Is OT allowed ?
[A]We not only allow OT here, but encourage our user to do some OT stuff to make this thread a happy home for all PSX user
[Q]can you make me a baby ?
[A]Sorry, I allready have two children, I think one more of that kind would be to much for this world

Almost 30 months of major support isn't bad, but what annoys me is that Google hasn't fixed the Wifi issue on Lollipop...Oh well, if the GNex can still handle 5.1 custom ROMs, the Nexus 10 can, right?

You are correct assuming at least one Dev likes the device enough to keep pumping out updates to their ROM. I had an ancient Galaxy Tab P-1000, given to me by a relative still in the original box. That tab came with Android Gingerbread. An XDA Dev was still supporting it with a ROM which had Android 4.3 (now maybe even more recent). So if that can be a guide then as long as there is at least one Dev and the hardware can handle the OS then you have hope of Android M and beyond.

But if Google doesn't provide aosp images for a device, how does an interested developer begin to build a custom ROM? Just asking because I'm ignorant about android development.

Images are compiled versions of the code. Google publishes AOSP code to the public (including the upcoming Android-M). The hardware "blobs" are proprietary (interface between HW e.g. WiFi radio) and software. I believe that a Dev would use the latest "blob" they can get along with the latest AOSP code to compile and create a ROM (set of images). The "blobs" would not be updated more than an older official release. I do not make my own ROMs so am a little hazy on all the details but ROMs definitely use the public AOSP code before adding alterations.

But you should consider the great variety of ROMs that we've been able to choose from, and the degree of freedom we've enjoyed in customising our systems.
On your iPhone, you're locked into iOS, with no system-level access, and nowhere else to go.
Sooner or later, your iPhone 4s will stop being officially supported by Apple. At that point, your device will truly become obsolete, while older Nexus devices will probably continue to receive updates through community effort.
well, that's disappointing, considering how mine is still rocking, and used pretty much every single day since launch.

I'm in the same boat. It will be a sad day once the device is not supported.
I have always had random reboots. A lot less frequent with each update. About a month ago my battery took a hit (not physical, no idea what happened) and now my battery only gets about half the amount of screen time between charges. Even with these 2 issues I still love and use the device every day. I am all about the latest android updates and the nexus line is the only way to go with those priorities. Looked into the n9 but disappointed in the battery life (around 5 hours.. The same I currently get on my n10 with half the amount it had when new).
Not sure where to go for my tablet needs if no new tablet is released this year... Which sounds like the case. I love the sock android experience without the bugs of cm or cm based Roms.... And if I did want to go with the cm route it runs best on Nexus. I have the n6 so the n7 feels too small.
It has been a great ride n10 and you will never be forgotten in my books....
I'm no stranger to unsupported devices. My last tablet was an HP TouchPad. lol. Wether Google gives the Nexus 10 Android M or not, Im sure we will still be able to run it unofficially thanks to the devs.
I'm not giving up on M yet. The Nexus 4 didn't get the L preview but still got Lollipop. The N10 has gotten quite a bit of love from Google so we shall see.
As we all remember, the Nexus 4 did not get the Android L developer's preview but it still got Lollipop when it went publicly available.
Cross your fingers for Nexus 10 support.

As we all remember, the Nexus 4 did not get the Android L developer's preview but it still got Lollipop when it went publicly available.

Why the N4 compare? Nexus 10 didn't get the L preview, but got Lollipop.

I'm not giving up on M yet. The Nexus 4 didn't get the L preview but still got Lollipop. The N10 has gotten quite a bit of love from Google so we shall see.

You preview the latest and greatest. Google would have been stupid to give the N10 or N4 a preview of L/M. I'm honestly surprised the 5 got an M build, but as a hammerhead owner, I'm not complaining.
Also, nobody panic, BUT...... https://android.googlesource.com/device/samsung/manta/
The manta has a m-preview tag. To be fair, so does grouper, and I doubt grouper will see M. Though honestly, after using M for a day it seems to be a fine-tuning of L, nothing too crazy. I don't see why the manta couldn't handle M. Also interesting is that no announcement of the Nexus Update Policy was made at I/O. Google might have backpedaled. We shall see...

EDIT!!!!!: That tag has an honest-to-goodness commit, manta-specific, based on M. I can only assume it's also on the mnc-dev branch. Mako also has a MNC kernel commit. The N10 might actually, officially see M!
I hit reply instead of edit, but oh well. It's worth it.
Let's see how it goes... I'm still on 4.4.4. Didn't want to update to L due to the wifi bug with eduroam. Patiently waiting for M for my beloved Nexus 10.

Almost 30 months of major support isn't bad, but what annoys me is that Google hasn't fixed the Wifi issue on Lollipop...Oh well, if the GNex can still handle 5.1 custom ROMs, the Nexus 10 can, right?

I don't see anything concrete but rumours. Until M is released and if nothing is announced beforehand from Google, don't believe anything else.
I now that from time to time this device has had is share of Wi-Fi issues but for the most part mine connects fairly well to my router.
Here is a quick screen shot showing what I am connected at on 2.4ghz it gets even better on 5ghz, sometimes....

Awesome, thanks ZTE!
Any mention as of when?
Thanks for sharing the info
what a shame from zte, this is unbelievable,
they mentioned that they will fix "the most" bugs in the upcoming update, why not all those incredible bugs? so, does this mean that we will have bugs though? incredible! this company is really curious and not from this world in my eyes and i can say for now that i never-ever will buy things from them!

Shame to watch you leave.
well, yes they release bugged soft, but at least they do update the phone. i remember having huawei mate 7. huawei used to release newer android iteration like year after it's release and left us all on buggy software that barely worked..
Good job ZTE!
They said very soon on Facebook I dont have a fix date sorry
It seems the update is already out for the Chinese version and it fixed the Play Store problem.
Gloabal Version should get a update soon too haha and it google play store is fixed too
Hopefully it will fix Android Pay as well. It got broken between 7.0 and 7.1.1. Although I suspect this is more of a certificate issue.

Want a stable device? Use the software they came with (6.0).
buggy software is not unique for ZTE and tbh, the 7.1.1 update is BETA for G devices anyway. Officialy my device is on 6.0.1 with B6. And it's stable and has all the features i bought the phone for.
People buy budget devices and get irritated that they dont offer premium support like Pixel regarding software.. You cheap out and this is what you get.
More and more of the market is cheap-ish devices (compared to high end like samsung, pixel or 700+ buck devices) and one thing is common - hardware is what earns them money and there is 0 incentive for companies like ZTE to update devices after initial sale. Updating a 9 month old device earns them no more sales and only cost them developer time.
I think you'll find 7.0 is official. The 2017G version was very stable - better than the US variant.
7.1.1 is also an official OTA update. Hopefully this bug fix patch will address the issues that crept in from 7.0. I suspect the 7.1.1 build was based on the US version, not Global.

Thank god for that, and honestly raw mode for the camera is so needed as the image processing is of the worst I've ever seen on a phone for the last 5 years, and yes i do mean that. The camera is appalling, i don't know if the image quality could be fixed with software or if the hardware is so flawed in terms of camera it doesn't matter what they do.
Sounds like a moan, so just to say love the A7, but the camera is just such a chink in its armour.

its out, came through ota. im on a2017g where i first manually upgraded to 7.0, then ~400mb ota update to 7.1.1 and this came today after i checked update app.

Just downloading
Play store bug seems fixed. Before update, updating apps showed 'waiting for network', after the update the apps installed right away. Glad it's fixed!
'Newly added Android Pure Launcher 3' - does anyone know what this means? I see no other options under Settings - Themes.
Also, before 7.1.1 update, the zte locker showed more different lockscreen images, it seems the images don't update anymore. Anyone else notice this?
After updated to B02, I can't get my Sandisk 200GB microSD work with the phone anymore, and it makes the data network fail to connect as well... Could only use with my 64GB microSD card
You can set stock android launcher under Settings- Default apps

Those issue introduced with 7 and 7.1.1(B01) and have mentioned it several time.
Now I'm on 6.0.1(B11) and works flawlessly just like all time when ZTE released that feature with B08 for G version.
Since ZTE didn't address that issue I'm staying at 6.0.1 and not gone upgrade.
