#TWRP Pixel update 4
Decrypt is working, shouldn't be too much longer.

That is awesome. I'm looking forward to getting this on my phone. Hopefully not to much longer.

Me too! Can't wait

Ooo awesome !

Just when I though I could not love this phone more, don't know why I wasn't subscribed to his Google+, am now though.

A New Dev to join the slide ranks!

And I'm sure a welcome addition to all the current devs!!
From Twitter:
cyanogen
Upgraded my G1 which was on contract to a Slide! Thanks @tmobile_usa
Yep I just seen that posted on his twitter as well!
Wow, that's awesome. I can't wait to see a Cyanogen ROM for the Slide. That would be awesome!
The best news I heared this week the king of STABLE ANDROID has returned
-------------------------------------
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide
It is great - but we have some very talented devs on the Slide now. Eugene and Wes and several others have poured many hours into this. I think the team is pretty well rounded!
The addition of cyanogen is like the icing on the cake!
i saw this on Cyanogens twitter earlier as well, makes me very happy, i never upgraded the G1 to CM5.0 but i would love to see this phoen running some CM greatness
LOL and for some reason i was searching for apps for a rooted phone last night and decided to install Cyanogens updater app. Then I come here today to hear he has a MT3GS! Awesome!!!!!!

Looks like it's soon to be CM 6.0 with the Froyo source being released on AOSP today... I predict great things for this phone. Not just good, but great!
Guys, it will be a while until we see cm6 on the mts... I hate to be a real downer but I was excited and all...until... I remembered that just the source code was released. It is the first step to froyo but it will be a few weeks. Sorry...
cyanogen
CM6 targets: Nexus One, Droid, Dream, Magic, Desire, Evo, Slide
Oh Joy!
Yeah I know it would be a while, but it's still something to look foward to. You'd be hard pressed to say that anyone on XDA with an Android phone isnt anticipating FroYo in some way or another...
Hell, CM6 will probably be out for release on the Slide before HTC pushes an OTA for it.
since drop of AOSP we've had so many twitter notifications of updates concerning 2.2 that i'm extremely surprised and amazed. I like to think that sooner rather than later we'll have a froyo release thanks to all the great devs.. I tried to pull the system tree out of the aosp and failed miserably thanks to ubuntu 10.04.. gonna try again, because I think I'd seriously like to learn how much it takes to dev one of these great android roms

I'm pretty sure from all the responses on here that he will be missed in the G1 section. (had the G1 but did not root it or flash custom roms on it) Thats a shame as the G1 is still a great phone and I know a lot of users are sticking with it. But at the same time its a positive thing as the G1 was soo limited on what it could proccess.

Best news since SafeStrap: CleanROM soon!

Scott (scrosler) had the best Note 2 stock rom by far; tweaked to perfection, stable as hell, and everything just worked great. He's started working on an ATT Note 3 version now, and I couldn't be more excited! Figured other people here would be interested to know what's coming as well!
Can't link to the post, but it's on his forums (google it) saying that he's started work recently.
Can't wait I was running that rom when I had the note 2
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Scott (scrosler) did make that CleanRom the best thing that had come out for the Note 2. it was clean simple and easy to install.
I really can not wait until he comes out with one for the Note 3 for AT&T. I now have something great to look forward to hopefully soon when this gets released.
Thread cleaned,
Stay on topic, keep things respectful when you post, or get out...
Final warning in here folks.
I am excited about this news! Been using Scotts rom for a while now
SUB'D
I'm getting my Note 3 on Monday. Even with the S5 coming soon I really miss the functionality of my old Note 2 when I was with Sprint.
I agonized over it but I need my stylus back. I see no reason to wait for the S5 as the size and the stylus and apps is the important thing for me. I got so much use out of that. And this rom was perfect for me so can't wait see it!

Android L for Xoom owners

Any scope or hope we can see android L on Motorola Xoom??
Frankly, no
I can't buy anymore tablet soo I will stick with 4.4.4 and wait for ?!
does anyone know how the progess on lollipop for xoom is ?
what are the problems they are facing?
as there are other devices with tegra 2 that already have lollipop roms out
like galaxy tab 10.1 and i guess asus transformer
i seems the team eos and shishu have hit certain roadblocks
just wondering what those are...
Android L
I'd just be happy with a working link to get my Xoom rooted properly

No idea! I'm using CM11 (20141130). Still working well, but I'd also like to see the future on my Xoom. I don't know about ASUS, but the Galaxy Tab 10.1 does have an OMNI 5.1.1 that was recently released. I think that this is comparable to Lollipop 5.1.1.
I might just try to download and dissect the codes for both operating systems, and try reverse engineering. If I have some time next week I'll see if I can figure things out.
Cooming soon to you Xoom:
Great news!!! I can't wait to see lollipop on my loved xoom!!

This looks so fake, look at the Nav Bar... it's different from what i know Lollipop on tablets is... and anyone can fake and mod a Settings About scree as easy as modify some lines on Build.Prop... show us more than just a static screen and i can believe on this...
Show us the Notifications shade, Lockscreen and some Lollipop exclusive apps...

There is a better research than be a owner of a Lollipop Device (i have a Nexus 4 running AOSP 5.1.1) and while i don't have any proof that this is fake, neither he have any proof that is true!!!
tell me u are not really questioning the integrity of @Schischu
on of the biggest contributors for our xoom
p.s. its stuff like that eventually scares some developers away...

I'm not questioning no one's integrity, just want a bit more proof that this is real, and i see the OP for the 5.1.1 on Galaxy Tab 10.1 and see the same NavBar and this scares me as the default icons on 5.x NavBar are different, even on my Nexus 4 they aren't the Holo Era...

I'm really surprised at you. Schischu is a very reliable friend and developer who has always come through for us. On another thread he has said that he has most of the code done, yet not managed to get the camera working yet. There's no reason why he should lie to us, so you can do one of two or three things.
1. Wait patiently (I did this, even going so far as to buy a new Xoom about two weeks ago). By the way,I just love it. Got it up to speed with CM11 a couple of days ago. CM11 is a very good, very stable Rom.
2. Start coding for the Xoom yourself. I think that you might not be able to get up to speed so very fast as you'd need to.
3. As long as you're rich, buy another tablet and don't worry about the rest of us.
Anyway,

That's my opinion, if you don't like it, it's not my problem. I already use a Rom i built by myself from AOSP code and it's still on 4.1.2 but i'm liking it and still think he can get us a bit more proof than a settings display and as i write before, i saw the Samsung Tab 10.1 5.1.1 and saw the same on-screen controls and they are different than what we have on the Lollipop Source Code...

Opinions are like noses, everyone has one , but not at all of them are very pretty or handsome . You know it dawns on me that since you can write code for the xoom , then perhaps you should write the lollipop code yourself and stop complaining . I'd love to see the fruit of your efforts. No one else has come rushing onto the stage with any pronouncements of a nearly feasible lollipop Rom for the Xoom. At least Schischu is saying that he's working on it. As I said, if you're so smart, then write the code yourself and release it to us as a finished product . It would be nice to have. Again, do something, or sit it out till the next act comes on stage.
In the meantime, I'm using cyanogen mod 11.0 (20141130) , which is an android 4.4.4 clone , very full featured, and capable in the extreme.
As it is , I know the Xoom is not the fastest tablet in the world, and I know there will come a day when I'll be trading up to something different. However, at the moment , I'm very happy with my Xoom, and using it to the greatest possible extent .
I'm not trying to be mean spirited, but only concerned that in your impatience you appear to be so irritating that you may chase off the one real ray of hope we've had on the next generation of Xoom development.
By the way, I'd genuinely love to see what you can do with the lollipop code.
Blessings

Sorry dude, this is not happening... I'm not telling i'm better than Schischu, just want to see more proofs than a Settings/About Screen that can be faked with some changes on Build.prop and Settings.apk resources... i know this as my Xoom is faked as an Xperia Tablet s (SGPT12) so i can download Mortal Kombat X and play on it...
And i think anyone can use the Rom he wants, i'm still on JB 4.1.2 compiled from AOSP and happy with what my Xoom is capable to do with it... so if you are running CM 11, congratulations to you, and why you don't try and start to play with AOSP code and see what you can achieve with it...

I'm not impatient, just asking more proof that Lollipop can actually happen on Xoom, the Real Lollipop as i saw some ROMs that mimics it and just that... by the way i'n not willing to try Lollipop as i'm happy with what i have right now... maybe i port 4.2.2 AOSP to it and nothing else...

Looks like the Nexus 6 might get an Ubuntu touch port

I have been looking forward to this for so long. anyone else exited to have touch on the N6?
it is currently at 0%
https://devices.ubports.com/#/
I am excited to see it. They def got all the donations they need for nexus 6 at 310.00 since you can get a nexus 6 for 200 but have to wait for a dev to handle it. Hope its soon but I have a One plus and it looks like that ones almost done Thanks for the link tho
http://www.androidjoint.com/2016/02/27/nexus-devices-bought-by-ubuntu-are-now-slotted
According to this source they already own a Nexus 6.
It's been like that for awhile (month+). I'm the person who made the reddit post linked in the article and also was in contact with the donator who made the large donation needed to get the Nexus 6 into 'waiting' status.
Hopefully the UBPorts team is working on it. I had the Oneplus One back when mariogrip first got the Oneplus devices started off for Ubuntu ports. Kind of sad to switch to the Nexus 6 only to find it may not have a port because it didn't launch with Kitkat :l
Please for the love of god let this happen.
Definitely excited about this. Fingers crossed
:good:

Isn't Ubuntu Touch based on Android KitKat? That would be weird to see running on the shamu. I wonder how that's gonna work out, definitely interested though!

I, um, was actually working on this at one point a few months back. I kind of got frustrated with the then state of Halium/UBPorts and took a rage-break but I might give it another shot now that things are a little more stabilized. I did get shamu running SFOS (mostly, I kept running into audio and modem issues), Plasma Mobile, and a couple generic rootfs' for Halium.
Is It worth porting though? As far as I am aware, the project was completely abandoned.

To the contrary, Ubuntu Touch/ubports are very much alive and well.
https://ubports.com/
They're currently working on getting the system updated to an Ubuntu 16.04 LTS base (as this was already half-done by canonical and will lessen a lot of future work for 18.04/beyond) as well as a new base for porting, derived from the Sailfish HADK and libhybris, called Halium to lessen the workload of porting non-Android OSes.
As far as the Shamu port - I guess Marius just lost interest. I already have some hybris ready device trees for shamu from when I was working on it late last year.
I plan to put some work in on it this week and see if I can't get ubports booting.
Not like I use my Nexus 6 for anything else right now. ^^;
probably never going to happen. i was so excited to try this. there was a dev preview on the galaxy s3 i booted up with no functionality. it looked so cool.

It'll happen if I can get the time to work with the porters to get it going.
Like I said, I already got shamu to boot SailfishOS and Plasma Mobile - both hybris based. UBports is just a matter of getting Unity8 to play nice.

QuantumOS for the Pixel

Hello,
Quantum Tech LLC is testing a new OS (based on Android) for the Pixel and Pixel XL called QuantumOS. They are willing to share a preview of their upcoming OS as a "soak test" (beta test) for a handful of users who have a Pixel or Pixel XL. To signup for the soak test use the link below:
QuantumOS 1.0 Soak Test for Pixel/Pixel XL Signup
NOTE: I will not be responding to any PMs related to this.
Regards,
Shawn
Software Engineer on the QuantumOS Team
How does this work? Do you still have to root and get custom recovery? Is there a history of this os?
Not finding anything about this through some searching, that makes me nervous/skeptical.

As this is our first release of our OS, there is not much on the internet about us. We will be launching a website shortly. We also are partnering with many tech sites for news coverage when the OS is ready for a full public release. Sorry if I got you nervous or skeptical.
Thank you
The survey is now closed. We thank you for your amazing support. The first beta will be sent out to you guys in coming weeks.

Doubt there is anything coming of this. We don't even have a stable recovery at this point.

twrp is NOT stable at all, especially for backups. and FYI the OP has a history of claiming to make roms that never appear. i remember him from the moto devices.
Just coming to Android with the Pixel after using iPhone since the beginning, I seem to have missed a whole bunch of things. What is up with the lack of any dev going on for this device? Has Google made security changes or something, waiting for dev seems to be like waiting for an iOS jailbreak.

Weta is up and running well. Alpha because there are def still things that need work such as backups and to lose the disclaimer about possibly losing all data.

Works damn well for me to flash kernel and rom. For me the backup isn't needed but works. It's a Google device like nexus before so I'm okay with experimental stages. I don't remember him from anything else but was guessing it was bogus just based on the time and weird intro. Don't really care. In a bit more developers will have the device, the system will get sorted so TWRP is flawless and we will be up and running. My phone is much faster than my wife's s7 so I'm content for now.

well despite it being one of the best devices on the market there are probably many reasons the dev scene is kinda quiet on the pixel.
1. its a super expensive device compared to others in its range. personally i finance mine from verizon and use on at&t go.
2. were waiting on a stable twrp which is being worked on.
3. most pixels and xl are on backorder until jan 2017.
4. it could have something to do with the A and B boot slots.
the device runs great stock rooted. hopefully more aosp based roms will come in time.
