Motorola have promised it before the end of the year. Given that Intel have ported JB to their platform and hopefully Google will be involved on some level, I am hopeful for a fairly rapid update. But who knows.

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone managed to install Skype on this device? It seems to only work on ARM based devices, so just wondering if it works on the Razr I. I love the look of this phone, however, skype is a must for me.
Can anyone let me know if it is compatible?
Thanks

i've installed it just now. i've not got an account (or want one) so got no further than the login page. but i guess if it did not work it would not install?

Yep, when I installed an emulator on my PC, I could also get into the login screen. It is when you try login that it crashes. Can you perhaps login n try? I setup a test account:
username: alkit123
password: secret123

Big thanks for the review! It was very interesting to me...
Coz now I'm thinking to change my Galaxy Nexus And i want to buy RAZR i.

Apart from that lag of adding new homescreens/pinching to zoom them is there any lags elsewhere ?

Thanks! I'm considering to replace my Galaxy Ace for a Razr i and that kind of information is really helpful.

My RAZR I had replaced my gnex as the daily phone. Not even using my desire z as a back up now due to battery life of this beast.

(BUILD)(DISCONTINUED)Mau5-HD2-V1-Tron-Like-Theme(Dec-21-2010) (Hastarin 8.5.3 Oldcam)

Hey guys, Biff here. I happened upon a theme a few weeks ago that I really really liked. I don’t often do themes or porting of them and release them, but we don’t have this on the HD2 and I felt compelled to do so. I went ahead and checked with @ChrisSoyars @ackprash and @wootroot and they gave me the go ahead. So I’m honored to present to you Mau5 for the hd2. By no means is it perfect, but I think its good enough to release. Anyways, you likely voided you warranty long ago, so if your phone explodes… NOT IT!
*Thanks to Cyanogen, google, htcclay, wootroot, chrissoyars, ackprash, htc*
*Testers Brandroid, ChromeDroid, TheRomMistress, Motomudder*
Please note you’ll have to change the clock color yourself via cmparts or grab the xml from www.mau5.net . If you don’t know how to get this to work on your hd2, you shouldn’t be on this page.
*This is based off biffmod-hd2 1.3 with an updated kernel so it should be plenty stable
* I’ve included a transparent dialer/contacts/call log (not present in the original version)
* See www.mau5.net for extras

ParanoidAndroid for the TF101

Any thoughts on if you guys would want it? I know I do!!
I have been trying the past few days to make a port from source but I don't know how to code and the code wont fully download.
If anybody else wants to try, please do cause I really want it ParanoidAndroid on my device here.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium HD app
My limited knowledge of Paranoid Android leads me to ask - why do you want it on the Tf?
Isn't it designed to give a tablet like experience on phones?
As well made as it is, I wasn't overly keen on the whole tiny u.i on my sgs2.
Otherwise I'm not sure what we would be missing out on.
Application-specific DPI settings would make me one happy panda.

I want it because I like the Nexus 7 UI better and also some companies make better phone apps then they do Tablet versions.

Hi, I have actually compiled ParanoidAndroid 2.12 jellybean rom for the tf101... is a big buggy, but you're welcome to try it...
Just need to try a couple more things to sort out a couple of bugs...
btw, I'm not a developer, and just started compiling, so it will not be perfect at any stage...

could be interesting. woud be nice to see if any of our other devs would be interested in helping you to iron out the imperfections and take it forward.
Always nice to have an extra rom to mess with
Quick yes or no ? for you......dock supported?

Yes - dock is supported... Well, at least it was working for me last night... Don't have a large SD card to test on it, but it should work (as i'm using the same device tree as others)...
As stated earlier, this is my first proper build (running a CM10 build on my phone, not released though). It would be nice to get others to help, at the moment, ADB doesn't work, everything I have tested is working, including Paranoid Settings... None of my builds seems to have ADB, so i do need to look into that!
As there seems to be enough interest, I think I will open a thread later - will link to it here though so you can all see it!
nice - look forward to it.:good:
Please make this happen

You're welcome.
It is available for Ubuntu Desktop... I've just tried searching for jabber on the phone and returned no useful results. Maybe check with the developers of the IM you are currently using to see if they are going to release a version.
Pity.
Yes, I already made a feature request for an Ubuntu Touch version. Hope they will consider. To me jabber/xmpp is essential.
does somebody know, when exactly tommorow the build will be released and where to download it?

I believe Telepathy is being used for the SMS, which means that it just needs the plugins to support different protocols and a UI to manage it.
Looks great, tried to put it on my Nexus 4 and failed.

Are you using a dedicated Ubuntu Box or a Virtual one? Or are you flashing from recovery?

Testing for SlimRom build

Hello, I spent the past couple of days trying to compile Slim ROM for the OnePlus One and I finally succeeded yesterday. I do not have the phone yet, so I'd like someone to test it prior to creating a development thread.
Download ROM
MD5 Checksum: 62b87e6a42045e51f707031ebbf624d5
All credits for the ROM go to the Slim team for their hard work on development. I simply spent a few hours adding OnePlus One specific stuff and fixing some issues that popped up along the way. For more info about the rom, check out their website: http://www.slimroms.net/
Thanks in advance for anyone that tests, and let me know how it goes.
PS: Only flash if you know what you are doing and understand the risks. If your phone disintegrates, explodes, or turns into a dolphin, it's not my fault.

Appreciate the hard work. Wish I could test it, but I haven't a device either. Have you received an invite yet?
Why hello there . I have been pretty active with XDA during launches of new phones. I was apart of the fascinate and galaxy s 3 community for a while. But I am glad to say I just got my invite today to get a 64gig version Should have it in a few weeks, hopefully with cell service too, thank god my verizon contract is up.

My device/kernel/vendor trees are all up to date with the official cm11 branch, so the issues probably lie somewhere else.

Intel software Hush against battery drain

Intel is developing a software called "hush".
Goal is to reduce battery drain while device is sleeping.
It's more than another greenify. They track the user reaction on notifications and adjust the Apps possibilty to wake up the phone in the future.
Sorry I found only a german articel:
m.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Forscher-reduzieren-Stromverbrauch-von-Android-Geraeten-2810673.html
Hope Intel uses Zf2 for developing this and we'll receive it, soon.
Great! Hopefully soon plus new version for stock rom.
Would this be more efficient than Greenify though? For me I simply hibernate essentially all my apps except email because there really isn't anything that I don't regularly check so it couldn't be so important that I need notification...

Hush isn't a separate program, its meant to be integrated into the rom itself. You can get the source code here https://github.com/hushnymous
Looked pretty interesting and would have loved to check it out in one of my roms but that code probably wont work in lollipop
Zf2 rom with this would be awesome.

Wrong section mate. Try posting in the forum for your device (if there is one) or in the XDA general rooting section. You might be able to find others with the device if it is not as well known.
