No one talking about kitkat? - TouchPad General

Could seriously breathe new life into the tp seeing as how it's supposed to be built to run on lesser hardware.
Sent from my XT1058 using Tapatalk

Well, it did just come out. CM hasn't even started on it. Can't say I expect a build for at least a month, could be wrong though.

It doesn't run better on lesser hardware per se, just uses less RAM. I don't think we've really been having issues with memory, and we're still stuck with our slow Snapdragon S3.

With the amount of devs the TouchPad has, we are relying on just a handful of people to get 4.4 on it. I feel 4.3 barely made it to the TouchPad. I would love Kitkat on my beloved tablet but I hate to say that I have my doubts.

I don't even think there's a doubt someone will do a build... But it's nice to know that we won't be limited by memory. Anyway, chalk this thread up to boredom. My moto x has almost nil going on so I'm hanging out in here

If someone does though, I just hope its as usable as it is currently. I have a Galaxy Nexus and I am already seeing bugs with ports to that device. Which isnt normal with a Nexus device. So the TouchPad may not be any better. Dont get me wrong, I really hope we see something though.

The galaxy nexus is a problematic device. First, google already said no-kitkat for the GN. Second, it's cpu and TI demise.
Your galaxy nexus is now on the list of abandoned nexus devices.
Now, regarding out tablet, first it's a qualcomm so we're not all alone on this one, but it's a very unsuported and old-unknown-binaries rom.
MAYBE someone figures out how to get the camera and bluetooth working. I keep my hopes high.

Not ready
I'm still having problems getting 4.3 settled on my TP. Too many issues (including repartitioning) still need to be solved first.

I am positive that someone will be get Android 4.4 to work especially with the fact that it uses less RAM for running the applications. Usually XDA and Rootzwiki member drmarble helps at getting the initial work for the next version of Android to work. He helped get Android 4.3 (CM 10.1 and 10.2) to work on the Touchpad. And of course JCSullins will help with developing for Android 4.4.
I am sure ROM builders like Milaq and Shumash will provide CM 11 ROMs that are Android 4.4 based although I wouldn't expect to see a CM 11 ROM until January/February at the earliest and until the official CM 11 development has begun.

I tried that too. I dont know why the search bar is of to the left. Maybe its a DPI thing. But we havent seen a Nexus 10 with Kitkat yet. I'm looking forward to seeing what its like on that device.

i just dont see this version becoming popular.
It seems to be more of the integration of other devices and their data harvesting than any user advantages.
Despite the name, and an actual marketing contract with nestle this time, i personally think they chose the right theme colour.
Because its going to be s**t

I see 4.4 more of a stepping stone into a much bigger change to the OS.

There are a lot of good things under the hood in KitKat. It will be interesting to see if anyone manages to get it running, especially with ART. Too bad my TouchPad is moving on to another owner. Finally decided to pull the trigger on a 2013 Nexus 7 LTE.

[Q] [ICS] vanilla AOSP ROM devs - anyone doing?

Hi all,
First of all, I'm amazed and gobsmacked at how much work all the devs put into their respective ROM's, it's amazing the effort and hard work ppl put in. Passion is alive and well on XDA
Now, to business. I have my Galaxy SII, a Galaxy S, and an Acer Iconia A500. I've flashed them all with their respective ICS. I would think (and hope) that probably out of all of them, the SII has the biggest dev base and most power. The ICS ROMs for the A500 and S are almost perfect. They run completely vanilla with no or almost no bloat, they look and behave the same (icons for network activity inside the bars for example, contacts app looks the same) and have had no hiccups whatsoever.
Come the SII, the only ROMs I've seen are cooked from Samsung sources with their phone and contacts apps, they crash and reboot and if it weren't that I have gone past the point of no return in regard to effort I'd have gone back to Gingerbread days ago.
Is anyone out there developing a completely vanilla "Google" rom that isn't themed to look like ICS, but actually uses the ICS apps etc. I can't understand how the Iconia and SI can have this while the SII seemingly doesn't.
Can anyone open my eyes on this? I'd love to get something as stable onto my SII as I have with my other devices, ICS is brilliant to use on them...and barely bearable on my beloved SII.
Cheers
<:3)~
Ummmm correct me if I am wrong but that's exactly what the CM team are trying yo to do....
And you can already download and install that, so long as you are happy with the bugs at present.

I'm more curious about the fact I would have thought the SII having a bigger user and dev base...certainly more than the A500 I thought it would have the most stable and mature code base - yet it seems the opposite is true.
I've been running 4.0.3 on my SI for weeks now and its never bugged out. Installed the A500...and Oh wow its like a brand new tablet!! I wonder is it because of Exynos or some other reason we can't have the same stability and performance right now.
Sent from my Acer Iconia A500 using Tapatalk
Your ignorance and disrespect is pretty bad (even if you don't mean it). I think you should do some reading for a while and get yourself acquainted with what's involved.
I didn't ask this to be dissed by someone...I'm sure even you would agree the development cycle and challenges for all three devices would be similar given they all use different processors. So is it easier to compile for the A8 and Tegra than the A9?
I have been looking and downloading a number of ROMs...and if someone has created a ROM in a similar vein to Thor's on the A500 and Onecosmic's on the SI, well I'd be grateful for the heads up...in fact I'm just about to download and test the Pure ROM I just spied over in dev...so see how that goes. Still I'd be happy for someones *constructive* input.
Of course I'm claiming ignorance...if I knew I wouldn't ask...geez lol
Sent from my Acer Iconia A500 using Tapatalk
It's a wonder no one bothers doing a straight AOSP compile for any device, really. CyanogenMod comes the closest. There are a few people who played with doing a straight AOSP, but they base it off CM's work and strip out the extras.
When I wanted the AOSP experience with Gapps, I installed CM7 on my SGS and installed the stock Gingerbread launcher. It was the closest I got.
Trebuchet is basically the stock ICS launcher with features added, so it won't be so bad. You can also replace it with the stock launcher as well.
Try Airbus 360s ics rom that's aosp and is fantastic he should be releasing beta 2 tonight.

haha I bet that confused ya
You're question is a bit noob so don't expect much answers.
Here is a short one to sum it for you:
AOSP - Pure android base without modification.
CM - almost pure with modifications.
STOCK - Hardware Manufacturer (eg. Samsung's) "official originated" release.
Stock - can have it all. CAUSE - Samsung has sources and support/docs for ALL hardware API of the device.
CM/STOCK - While there are some changes BOTH use the same origin.
To sum it, for proper functionality BOTH use SAME kernel/libs base.
So if some hardware functionality broken in one it'll be broken in other =
If CM9 haz no h/w decoding === APPLIES for AOSP.
Another thing to keep in mind, CM9 currently is in the process of adding CM features so current builds are very close to AOSP with functionality.
SUM IT UP:
if (CM9 != working) AOSP.isNotWorking()!

[B2G] Building the new OS from Mozilla

You may have heard that Mozilla are building their own mobile OS based on Firefox. To put it simply, if you've heard of ChromeOS, then it'll work in a similar way; the browser IS the OS.
What's interesting for us is that it's heavily based on android. Basically they've kept the HAL, hacked out Dalvik and anything java, and replaced it with Gecko. In theory any device that runs Android can run FirefoxOS.
It's still alpha software, it's supposed to eventually be compatible with ARMv6 devices, but as I found out while trying to build it for my LG Optimus One, Gecko is still hardcoded in many places to ARMv7. Their test devices include the Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy SII, so special hardware isn't needed.
Therefore it should run fine on the Nexus 7 right?
Well, not quite. FirefoxOS is based on ICS, but Nexus 7 runs only Jellybean.
I've tried building with ICS sources and Jellybean sources, making the necessary changes to get it to build. However with Jellybean sources it doesn't get past the Google screen, and ADB loops without many error messages to analyse. With ICS sources ADB isn't even accessible, the kernel and/or the proprietary blobs are probably not compatible.
If anyone wants to take a look at my changes, they're at my github. Some of the changes to Gecko I got from this bug at Mozilla, but it's out of date and incomplete (there is a patch in the B2G repo).
Hopefully with more eyes looking at it, we'll get it working!
This seems very interesting...when do you think it will flashable for the 7, and will you be looking for testers?

you will probably have to hack libs just to get it booting, you could try building ics first then after you have that running por tfirefox OS to it
I built it for the gnex but it was nowhere near usable, it has no onscreen button support which as we know is no good for us nexus users.
I reckon give it a few months before trying to do anything with it, its buggy and has no features as yet. The market is invitation only for registered developers, I couldn't get any signal on it even though they said that it was working. WiFi worked but not very well.

There was at least 2 cases of people who received Nexus 7 hardware with some dev version of ICS on it. Not sure if anyone has had any luck with getting that version of ICS up for download though.
There is no home button, assets are the wrong size, some screen resolutions are incorrect, wifi doesn't seem to manage to connect, but it launches, and the UI is pretty buttery smooth

I know that this thread is really old, but I think we should try to build because they got it working on the Nexus 7 2013 and it supports touch gestures for closing applications.
Maybe I'll do it some time but I have to learn how to build first with building Firefox OS for my Galaxy Nexus. Maybe someone with more knowledge could try to build. It would be great!

PA Windowed Multitasking

This might just be the feature that pulls me away from AOKP for good. Windowed Multitasking is the one feature that I feel is crippling Android(and iOS for that matter) from rising as a serious competitor to traditional OSes(Windows, OS X, Ubuntu etc.). Anyone else excited for this?

Yup, very much looking forward to this. If they pull it off, I'll be a PA man from here on out! From watching the video, their implementation looks much nicer than most too.
It will depend somewhat on what Google are up to though, I'd be amazed if Android 5 doesn't have some form of multi-window mode and should be out in 3-4 weeks...

And then 1-2 months of bugfixing in ROMs so it actually works ok
I asked about multitasking on PA thread for N10, and the answer wasn't far from what I think it might be the truth, seeing how is it going with the phones and tablets running PA ROM.
"Still far from done, and it's really questionable how exactly it will function on a tablet, seeing how the PA team is focused on phone development mostly. "
Interesting - I hope we get something like this. Another kick-ass developer timduru ported Cornerstone to EOS for the Asus Transformer TF101. It worked quite well. It certainly didn't make the TF101 any faster, but it was definitely something that I think improved the user experience on the tablet. I was able to watch video in one window and surf the net in another. :laugh:
For me, this was the most anticipated feature since I got my first Android tablet (which would be this one... :silly: ). Right now, I'm using the floating browser as a workaround, since the functionality of some apps can also be found on the web. - Except, of course, in offline situations.
I'm eagerly awaiting this, and I know that team PA can pull it off!
Pa just released a new video on Google +... it makes way more sense to me now... this will be rad with pie... Not sure how useful on the nexus 10 but awesome on my galaxy nexus... Can't wait

For phones I can see this feature being extremely innovative and useful but for the Nexus 10 it would make more sense to implement something similar to cornerstone or what Samsung has done. Mostly due to the fact that tablets have such large real estate that can be utilized with multiple windows up.
The idea is great for phones but I, personally, would prefer something similar to what I mentioned. However, something is better than nothing.

I would prefer actual windowed multitasking on the nexus 10, it makes sense on tablets as you have all that space and resolution that gets wasted on stretching out a single app

[Q] android 4.3 instead of 5.0?

I heard rumors that google is still not working on Android 5.0 'key Lime Pie', and they will also not present it on Google I/O this month.
Apparently they will release a newer version of a Jelly bean ROM, Android 4.3, apperently with codename 'Android 4.3 JWR23B'.
Rumors told me that Google already tested Android 4.3 on a galaxy nexus 7 and nexus 4.
What my question is:
The Samsung galaxy tab10.1 had a timid start with android 4.2, it was laggy and it didn't respond at times, but it turned out to be one of the fastest ROM ever on my galaxy tab10.1 after hard and long work ( i'm flashing pershoot's ROM's (CyanogenMod) now since 11 months), thanks to pershoot.
Will there also be any chance to run a newer android version on this tablet after Android 4.2?
since there were doubts that android 4.2 would ever work on this tablet and turned out to be this smooth, it's giving me alot hope, what do you think?
-what do you think, android 4.3 or 5.0?
-what could be new in android 4.3/5.0?
Let me know!
I heard rumours about the last android version for dual core processor device is 4.2.2 to maintain the quality of later version (4.3++). Can't recall where I read it but if this true then the GT10.1 will stop at Jelly Bean 4.2.2. but, anything is possible..
On my 2nd thougt,if the above is true, this might be the opportunity to the level 17 API's developers and below to strengthen their apps stability, performance and thus give maximum performance to the devices. This might be a good news too.
I think if google upgrades it to android 4.3, most likely there will be bug fixes, like the strange back button It's supposed to bring us to the previous screen until we get to the home screen, but at times, it'll take you to places in apps you've never been, skips screens you've been too, it basically works only half of the time. and if i take a look on my parents's ipad, and if i rotate the screen, the transition is extremely smooth.
If i rotate my galaxy tab or my asus transformer it's kind of... Choppy... If i search the internet, the browser can't follow the speed of your finger on any device i've been on yet, maybe a little bit more browser responsiveness would be great, i'm not saying it isn't smooth yet, but it could be better!
And maybe they will work on more battery life? And if they're already working on it, maybe they should work on a new way to stay connected with people, what i mean is, don't use a stupid samsung app or asus vibe or whatever manufacturers use to connect to a social website, but make it a built-in app?? Like ubuntu does or WP8.
Let your fantasy work..
I don't know why this has been moved to q&a but okay

[Q] Bounty For Lollipop ROM?

My Dell Venue 3830 out performs newer versions of the same tablet. I love it. I have tried newer versions of the tablet, and have returned them favoring this 3830.
Would it be smart to start a bounty for someone to develop a lollipop based ROM for it?
Who else would be interested?
How does one go about starting a bounty?
Asus Zenphone 5 & 6 received Lollipop June 2015
I use the same Dell Venue 3830. The spec of our tablet is almost equals with Asus Zenphone 5 & 6 (Atom Z2580 2Ghz, 2GB RAM). Asus just announce upgrade for Zenphone 5-6. So we could expect XDA developers could port it to our Dell.
I certainly hope so, I love this little tablet. Quick, snappy, and beautiful.

if anyone can get CM 10 or 11 or AOKP to work i would be very happy
I meant the 3830 LOL. I will drop $20 or more on a ROM for this puppy. 4.4.4 at least, CM, Lollipop would be GREAT.
Would anyone be kind enough to add on 3840 for this CM? I'd literally appreciate it so damn much, thanks!
I hope you succeed, because seems that dell already forgot the 3830 tablet. I would like to offer my help but my knowledge about this stuff is pretty basic. It will be great if you were able to release android lollipop for this tablet.
I have absolutely no knowledge of even where to begin. However, I do have money to contribute to a person who can make a working complete, working ROM for the tablet.
Like it was said above, this was a case of bait and switch. This was the first version of the tablet, and had the best hardware. It was sold at a loss for a while, then boom "Upgrade", which had worse hardware and ran like ****e. I have a 3840, and no one in the family will use it. The damn thing is too slow even to load a Kindle book right after it had been factory reset.
Building a ROM for this will net the ROM builder a bit of cash and do a great service for the community.
not feeling any love, looks like no one cares about our poor pathetic tablets...
DELL really sucks doing this.... its very much like an Apple scam ... mine is the 3741 which supposedly has 8gb but after the android system with system apps and all you have around 3.5gb free.
then you cant even move apps to EXT-SD so good luck installing many large apps.

This is common for all tablets, no tablet or any android devices has the listed amount of space free.
16GB 32GB and so on don't have that much space free either.
As far as bounty for rom, posting here isn't going to get much exposure, unlikely this thread will even be seen by anyone that builds roms.
If there is enough people willing to fund this project, and buy a developer one of these tablets, then perhaps you can get a rom.
If it ever gets to that point, find a developer and ask him, how much would it take to get a custom rom.
Right now I can only think of one developer that is currently producing x86 cm12 roms. @nels83.
Seeing he is already making x86 cm12 roms for 3 x86 devices, he could add more if he had those devices.
@nels83 would be the person to contact once enough money is raised to buy him a tablet, or if someone has a spare tablet to give him.

What would be great is in the wait for a decent custom ROM such as Cyanogen or Paranoid, maybe someone out there could throw together a cleaned up, barebones custom ROM based off the current stock ROM but with all of the crapware thrown out and maybe some changes to improve the overall performance. This would be good for both 3830 and 3840 users and hopefully will make the wait for a CM or Paranoid (if it ever comes) a little shorter as atleast our tablets will run, decently.
The 3840 is in desperate need of a custom ROM. I see 3830 users also wanting it but to be honest, I'm sure they can stick it out with their 2GB of RAM. The 3840 is suffering dearly with only 1gig and is total hell running stock Android - so if there's a dev out there, priorities to the 3840 please. I've heard that the 3830 has decent performance.
I doubt you will ever seen a custom ROM for 3840.

@nels83 is probably the only dev that could, also the 3830 kernel source has finally been released, it was a big set back waiting over a year for kernel source.
I used the kernel source to build myself a custom kernel and when time allows I will start back working on my asop rom for my 3830. I stopped working on it due to no source code.
My ROM will only be for my personal use, as I have no desire to continuously update a rom.
@nels83 is the best choice for building a community ROM, if he chooses to.

Who said you have to continuously update it? As long as most of the functions work to a decent standard and it is a solid ROM, then I am sure the community will be more than happy with it.
Also, 3840 users: http://forum.xda-developers.com/dell-venue/development/v8-3840-lollipop-rom-bounty-t3185076
I'm guessing it is out of the equation to be able to port a ROM from the venue 10 tree? Maybe a slimmed down version of their lollipop? I guess that maybe is aiming too high but I'm not sure.
