Visual
Very good visual, cant wait to see it running on my device. :good:

And this Visual Design has a name : Suru ! welcome Suru
but let have a deep look, the phone picture is not the Galaxy Nexus as it used to be.
A hint to the new Hardware ?

Hardware
Maybe the Ubuntu phone to be released in autumn.

looks really great, calendar is a bit weird but whatever
i dont know why but that device looks like a Huawei to me

the os looks great, hopefully it performs well and gets the attention it deserves. though, in this market, that really depends on how many developers embrace the os and get the apps developed so it at least has a chance to succeed. allowing ios and android to get so big really causes problems for any newcomers due to the fact that there are already thousands of apps for both platforms which are now relatively stable, bug-free and full of features, and no one nowadays wants a phone which doesn't have stable, fast apps for everything they want to do.
i think the ubuntu devs definitely got the design right, tho -- the design reminds me of something you'd see in android, but with a lot of the...ideas and practicality that lay behind windows phone, which imo is a better platform than either ios or android for a phone but unfortunately doesn't have the community and therefore the developers/apps to compete.
would definitely be great to see this platform take off so we have another big competitor in the mix!

Don't get your hopes up. The pictures above are nothing more than digital concepts, it's just an artist's impression of what a "new" ubuntu-related generic smartphone would look like.

Nextbit Baton offers several benefits to users, including:
Sync: Keeps apps and data in sync across multiple devices, allowing users to move fluidly from one device to the next without missing a beat.
Pass: Send any open app in its current state to another device, saving time and eliminating the tedious process of manually finding and opening apps on different devices.
Backup and restore: Save apps and data to your Nextbit profile in the cloud, so you can always get your apps back on any device.
Nextbit’s private beta is exclusively on CyanogenMod, the leading open-source, community-driven Android OS backed by Cyanogen Inc. The future public release of Nextbit will be available first on the commercially distributed Cyanogen operating system.
“Cyanogen continues to reimagine Android by introducing bold new firsts,” said Kirt McMaster, CEO of Cyanogen. “Nextbit represents one of these platform firsts that could only manifest on a truly open Android. We enable Baton to become a native OS level feature, creating huge benefit for our users.”

I was actually an Alpha tester (can come out and say that officially now). It really is awesome and rather useful.

Hello and thanks for developing such a good ROM for Android!
I'm looking for info specific for Note 4 910C, Exynos. There's any prediction of when it would be available?

Exynos devices? Unlikely. Developers hate them.

That's really bad news... So good results with a Galaxy Note 2 N7100.
Not a bad hardware, but without the great work from OmniROM team I'm feeling abandoned.
I'll never lose my hope that one day it will be supported, among others. In the meantime, would you guys, a lot more experienced than me, recommend me another ROM for this specific model?

I don't think anyone has supported any of the Exynos5 variants well. Yeah, sort-of "supported", but not WELL.
The hatred opensource developers have had towards Samsung has been no secret since late 2012, Samsung devices, especially Exynos 4 and later (Exynos3 was great due to being used in a Nexus. The Exynos 5250 in the Nexus 10 was vastly different from all of the other 5 variants), are the last ones you want to buy if you want consistent and reliable community support.
Samsung has made a point for years of NEVER using the same SoC in their flagships as they do in Nexus devices. (Nexus S was the only exception to this, and that was their first Nexus.)

A Peak at Android 6.0 for the Note 4

They are giving us the new Touchwiz icons that look like they are the result of Touchwiz being raped and getting a back alley abortion. Nooooooooooo. I hope they at least include themes so that we can hide that mess. Then again, by the time this is actually released by Verizon, I assume a lot of us will have already moved on to non Samsung phones.

I think the biggest UI upgrade I can recall occuring on a Samsung device was maybe when the OG Note got Jellybean and looked fairly similar to the Note II and picked up some new features. Otherwise, Samsung has traditionally let as little as possible trickle down from their latest flagships to "last year's" model when doing updates---look at the Note 4 or the Note 3 Lollipop situation , for example. Neither phone was as smooth or as refined under Lollipop as it was under KitKat (I do not recall if the Note 3 was better under JB or KK). I certainly do not expect things like theme support or manual camera modes to ever trickle down to the Note 4. I'll just be glad to get its RF and battery performance back to where it was with KitKat.

I highly, highly doubt we ever see this.

His demo phone seems to be very laggy as hell with MM 6.0. Hopefully by the time we getting this it should be better.

It looks like it has a few things I might like. But the icons, dear lord are they bad. Way to iPhoneish for my liking.
The settings menu looks decent to me though.

Exactly why I hope they throw in themes. I hope somebody asks on the youtube page. He's been answering questions. (I tried to ask, but youtube won't let me sign in since I deleted G+ and my YT channel.)

Have we done it before? I joined this month so I have no clue that it has been tried already

That is not going to happen, it's not that easy and remember, it's not Motorola anymore, it's lenovo.
If they decide to do it, that would be a mess at the time to get the update. I am pretty sure we needed to make a full wipe. It wouldn't be just an update, it would be installing a new system from scratch and that's not something a lot of people would like to do, including myself.
I haven't had any problem with the device running a 32bit system and I am pretty sure I won't.
I would like to get Google Cam just for HDR+ but it's not a big deal and I can live without it.
We have an amazing dev team for the device so there is nothing we are missing for having a 32bit system.

Yes... There have been several threads here since this device first released whining about it being 32-bit, wanting to pressure Lenovo about making a 64-bit version, comparing the difference between the 32/64 bit world's, etc.
Simple answer, it's 32-bit... It's going to stay to that way, live with it.
