As you can see in the quote below from Llabtoofer's site-

"Please make a note that these images are for Developers only, you cannot install them on any existing devices."
What's the point in commenting, if you are not a developer and/or don't know what these files can be used for?
There are always uses for pre-released files and system dumps.
Whether for digging through files to see what's included, what features lie within, etc,...or for simply porting the software or bits and pieces of the software to "other" devices.
Those are just two very obvious reasons why the files would be of interest to developers.
This is XDA! There is always a point in having new software... :good:

Hmm, looks like bootloader related stuff goes through htc? Just pulled this from Pixel XL dump.

Awesome work @LlabTooFeR. Hopefully the brilliant devs here can get the assistant working on 6P. Pixel XL is a little too expensive for me at this point.

Official builds are always signed with Google release keys so if it was unofficial, I'm pretty sure someone would've noticed already.

Google said what it want and hTC made model then reviewed by google.
So,it's Google's Pixel.

you are well informed about the xda-scene. LOL :laugh:
anyways... i found some new live wallpapers but i couldn't get them working so far on the htc10 with android6.
they are located in system/app/WallpapersBReel.
the package system/app/WallpapersUsTwo is for sure related to it.
i also added system/app/LiveWallpapersPicker to try..
no luck so far. i can select some of the live-backgrounds even if there is a FC on the WallpapersUsTwo apk.
but the background won't show (black background).
the live earth-wallpaper doesn't even show up in the picker (the most interesting one).
i attached a preview pic of the earth live wallpaper.
maybe someone else can also dig into it and see what else is missing..

If this is true we all know HTC wants people to have unlocked bootloaders so we most likely will get root and official factory images, will just take patience for google to release or htc

Google confirmed the versions bought on Google store will have unlockable bootloader's. Verizon is the only ones that are not unlockable. It was live streamed on CNET. HTC doesn't have a say in either.

Easy Android Installation

I saw some moron demanding that ppl work on getting Android to work on Raphael..... what a dumbass..... and I clicked a few links deep from the Wiki mentioned and found this thread:
http://www.htc-android.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=237
It was very easy installation, and I am now running Android, have some fun testing for the developers now....
Recommend U all try it!

You don't flash your device with it. You essential launch it from file explorer and phone boots into it. A soft reset brings you back to WM.

thx for the quick reply, guess i'll giv it a shot...
You can also press and hold the end call button, and you can choose 'Power Off' but I still end up having to soft-reset, many things are not working, but i'm sure that will all get worked out at some point, wish i could do more for the project than just installing it lol
Mirror Needed.
Can you upload the files needed.
I tried downloading from the site that you posted but I am unable to do so.
Thanks,
This one worked for me, I hit a broken link also

Here is a more precise link to install instructions, and a download link:

very nice work. looking forward to future developments!
The RAPH100 is the GSM version, the RAPH800 is the CDMA version.
The link in my signature guides you to the thread where this is being developed. It's been a bit silent lately though.
I actually Gave this a Whirl and pretty Impressive... SMS was even Working. Camera doesn't Fuction and Ask for a Storage card to be inserted which is Weird cause ur reading the OS from the card lol.... Good find though...
I hope android will be fully ported on raphael soon
unfortunately for now it isn't for everyday use

This isn't ready for prime time yet. There is a lot of hardware support missing as I write this (e.g. no suspending or powering off, no Bluetooth, WiFi, or anything but plain GSM [GPRS, 3G, etc], no accelerometer, no sound [and no sound I/O in calls, so you can't hear or be heard], no cameras, et cetera).
The lion's share of the problems aren't with Android, they're with providing Linux device drivers for all of the machine's hardware. Android itself seems to work just fine with what devices the Linux kernel gives it!
But in the hopes that this may spark some more creative interest from kernel hackers (*) (as opposed to such comments as 'but why wasn't it ready twenty years ago?'), here are some rough (and fuzzy) screenshots from my Touch Pro:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",

"lightbox_download": "Download",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The last two are from the Dev Tool's console application, showing the contents of /proc/cpuinfo (partial) and /proc/interrupts.
(*) I'd love to get involved myself, but my kernel hacking experience is in bigger, heavier devices with fewer radios. (but I'm looking around the kernel sources regardless).

Thanks. I'm not much of an IRC user, though this is A Good Cause. I've checked out the kernel source and had a look through some interesting bits. Went through the memory maps etc on the wiki and realised just what brave souls you guys are (some of this stuff is truly obtuse — but I know the rewards when you finally manage to get some bizarre device working). Having a look at the basics of ARM Assembly now (never had much reason to use it before). I generally have very little free time, but I obsess easily, and I'd really like to have something other than Windows on my Raphael.
(plus, logging into my phone via ssh amuses me — haven't been this amused since the Zaurus)
Hi!
android now have the times tested (Raph100), is a beautiful thing. Will not single network connection. Neither wireless nor USB 3G yet.
Why is this and how can I set up?

Community Release - De-Fragmenting our community one step at a time!

We've always claimed that a centralized index of ROM's for all Android devices will help everyone including XDA and all the other forums and blogs out there.
The Release Database makes it's MUCH MUCH easier for all the community to find the latest releases for their devices and directs them to the official location for the releases.
We've added a lot of functionality to the release database and more developers are using the system, but not enough.
7/23/2011:
Lots of new features have been added to Community Release
As users, you can register in the system and then follow:
Releases
Devices
Developers
Rate the releases you like so other know if they are good or not.
Soon you wil be able to leave comments with your ratings too
When you follow anything, you receive email notifications when some related to what you are following is updated.
e.g. Follow your favorite developer and when that developer releases something new, you get notified.
You can now narrow the list by OS Version, Developer or Device making it very easy to find the release for you device.
We are still working hard to provide this but we still have a long way to go. The only way to keep it updated is if the developers maintain their release entries in the release database or at least let us know when a new release comes out.
There are so many ROMs for so many devices now that it's almost an impossible tasks and we'd prefer the developers to do the updates.
If you developer a ROM, Theme or application for any Android device, please help pus out. Drop us an email at [email protected] or hit me up on GChat at [email protected].
You can also check out the release list to see if your release is already hosted.
We are still NOT ask for anything from the developers or the community for these services and cover all our costs through advertising.
What do we offer?
File hosting using FTP or our Web Based file manager.
Download tracking for your files.
Release notification to the entire community for your release.
Dedicated forum area with full moderation rights.
We don't require you to use all our services, the only important area is the release database. We don't care if your thread is on XDA or any other forums out there. Our only objective is to help the community. To de-fragment the release of software within the community.
I hope you'll help us out and wait to from anyone who wants access.

good job friend, i hope you will have success!
@Simon, there's already a wiki article on xda that list all the available ROMs for the Hero; GSM, CDMA.
Sounds like a good idea, having 1000 different threads for different roms is a pretty inefficient way of doing things.
Also, you need to differentiate between MyTouch and MyTouch 1.2/Fender LE since it doesn't look like you did.
How about an androidspin app

There are many sources and lists of ROMs for all different devices. What AndroidSPIN is trying to do is create a single index of ALL ROMs for any Android device for every forum and site out there.
A single location you can go to to find the latest, download them and get back to the original thread on whatever forum.
So which list do you choose to check and on which site?
We'd love to create an App.. Any volunteers?
We don't have any Android developers on staff.
BenBuchacher was looking at using the Cyanongen Updater app as a base but any suggestions welcome.
We already started a discussion here if you have any thoughts or time to help.

Yeah, I heard about that Carrier IQ. Pretty messed up stuff.
Also to enable YouTube videos you only copy a certain chunk of the URL. For example if the video's URL is "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjL-xE_6avY" you only copy the part after the "=" sign. Which in the example URL's case would be "QjL-xE_6avY". Once you've copied that part of the URL paste it into the message box, highlight it, and then hit the YouTube button (

Actually all data you access on T-Mobile also goes through the government, not just Sprint. If you don't believe me, find out your IP addy on your phone. Then go do a whois IP search. You will see it is being routed through the DOJ.

I have run his app, listed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17612559&postcount=110 (oh yeah, spend a dollar in the market to support this guy, and buy the pro key for the app) and the checks come back that Carrier IQ is not in ZD. I am not 100% satisfied with the result, but it puts me more at ease than I was after first reading about CIQ. I am going to continue digging into it until I am satisfied of either its presence or absence from ZD.
I have followed other information from the original thread listed above, and have found some logs, but nothing seeming to contain keystroke records.
I am interested if anyone else has been testing this out with ZD, and what your results/determinations have been. I do not think that anything in ZD is logging keystrokes, but since this is built from Samsung source, and both Sammy and Tmo are included with the other dirty birds that are in fact using CIQ in their software, I am not 100% satisfied that its not, so if anyone has any further info or want to compare notes with this chef, I will gladly collaborate efforts to rid ZD of this, if it is in fact found.

Basically anything from AOSP wont have it.

Apparent Root for Axon 7

It promises root for the Axon 7 but I haven't had time to try it yet.
If you are brave enough to try & it's successful would be good to know....
Given that ZTE have suggested that they will provide the ability to unlock the boot-loader at some point after release and that the link you direct people to at sadroid.com (why the link obfuscation by the way?) looks fishy enough to make the dodgy customers at kingroot/kingoroot look like fine upstanding members of the community, I'd advise that people not touch this with a forty foot barge pole.

Confirm what? If you're asking about the bootloader, they said they are in talks with R&D about how to best do it, and that it's a more a question of "when" than "if". Of course, all details are unknown.

I think that it came up briefly during the last webinar, they mentioned the large amount of support on the forums for an unlockable boot-loader and said that while it wouldn't be unlockable at release that the ability to unlock it at some stage was more "when" than "if". If they keep to the monthly update schedule they indicated that they would like to maintain then a month or two after release seems most likely.

In my stumblings through google I found this - https://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&...Ngtuq-bHVKDh9IMHmsjqQg&bvm=bv.127178174,d.bGs
It promises root for the Axon 7 but I haven't had time to try it yet.
If you are brave enough to try & it's successful would be good to know....

Exactly my point. Can't believe OP is this naive.
I'll be getting one of these guys next week, `fastboot oem unlock` should be enough?

Wholy ****, pan is the worst thing I've ever had to deal with 'curl: (18) transfer closed with 2503068826 bytes remaining to read' do you have a copy on you? I'm only interested in emmc_appsboot.mbn

Off topic here, but what icons are you using? Those look really nice!
I still don't know why we can't get untethered twrp?
The Asus zenfone did this, it just booted into twrp and you could root your device... You couldn't install custom roms or keep twrp for any longer than when you rebooted but it did indeed allow us to root the Zenfone 2 (ZE551ML) pretty neatly.
No bootloader unlock required...

You can download from the Zenfone forums - http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/development/alpha-tethered-twrp-asus-zenfone-2-t3123532
However I don't know if it will brick the Axon 7 as it was made for the zenfone 2 and that may be different to the Axon 7 with partition setups and so on...
Not willing to try with my phone as I need it working when I want to call someone, not when I want to keep a piece of paper from blowing off my desk ...

If you click the third button and go to the forum post about the update, you can just get the direct Baidu link without having to login.

Question Pixel 6 DeGoogle tips?

Did some reading and there are a few guides but not sure what might be best for this new Pixel6.
Whilst I wait for the ability to use a Google-Free ROM, is there an app or script or list of apps/services to disable etc that would work i can follow?
I'm kinda wanting to have a play with this phone but don't want it updating itself or tracking me...
I'm with you in this, impatiently waiting for Calyx/Graphene A12 and P6 support. Unfortunately, I don't think there's much we can do until then. Just restrict as many permissions as you can, don't sign in to too many things and use websites instead of apps when possible
I always stayed away from anything that is Chrome related.
I use Duckduckgo as my browser.
Brave is another...

IT would be best to wait for a custom ROM to sideload
Yeah,uhumm..Me too want a Google phone without Google apps.Yes,uhumm also i want a stable OS without bugs and good performance, good battery life too.But not the way Google make the phone, the chip and HIS operating system.no, no,no i want to archive this any other way possible.Then U see this dude coming back with "I don't know what's happening, I have a lot of bugs and a lot of app crashing. My system is unstable. I don't want this phone.Copy his user name and wait..
Here are the apps I froze. I could probably freeze more but it's a good start i'd say. I didn't sign in to any google account. It's not perfect but that's temporary, patiently waiting for custom ROMs too

Yep I guess we wait for the clean ROMS and such.
Thanks for sharing tomatot - I have done a bit of that already. Will check your list against mine

Sure, let me know if I missed any other app that seems important to freeze.
I don't know if any of you realize this, but p6/p6p have first class support in aosp. Take 15 minutes to read the instructions and build it from source yourself.
I'm running a self built aosp12r14 on my p6p right now and even typing this message from it.

It'd be nice if you'd share your build with the community. Is everything working including fingerprint scanner?

1) My build wouldn't help you. Like I said, its for p6p, not the basic-p6 in here.
2) 15 minutes of reading is all it takes to figure out how to build it yourself. The security risk of using something built by someone you don't know doesn't justify it.
3) couldn't tell you about fingerprint sensors, biometric security isn't protected by anti-self-incrimination laws, so I would never use and recommend that nobody ever use it. You should only use knowledge-based security.
I guess we are lazy? Or an underestimated minority?
I'm wondering why an AOSP build isn't available already from some kind person, or even a walk through with comments and experiences from someone already on this planet? Nothing on Youtube either.
Or is it so easy people do it quietly and assume it's common knowledge.
You know they make phones without Google installed on them, right? They are called iPhones and are pretty popular too.

You can enjoy Android without enjoying Google bloat/spyware you know...
I think they are just joking with the iPhone jib so no need to overreact all.
I read up on source.android.com and it all looks well documented yes. But.
400G of free HDD space, 60GB+ of source to download, overnight compiling....
I've not done it before, let alone testing on a brand new phone...plus with 2 kids and a puppy and not much sleep...
If your in your 20s and have a couple of Pixel phones and lots of free time - have a go and let us know your experiences creating a ROM. If it works on your P6, I'll try it on mine
Those many GB is not that much these days. Not like anyone is using 9600 bps dialup any more. And overnight compiles are not that bad, not like you really need to watch it. Set it to go and go to bed.
Or if you have a faster computer, just give it an hour.
But I do hear you on the kids and dog getting in the way. I have 3 kids under 10 and a dog. Oh, I'm an accountant.
It's funny that people use Android and try to De-Google their phone.
What is even more hilarious is buying a phone actually made by Google themselves and trying to De-Goolge that same device
