I want this. Please.

You'll find FlyMe very polished, but quite different to 'regular' Android.
I daily-drove an MX for a few months. Lovely phone, the styling and finishing touches are second-to-none. It it a beautiful OS, everything is styled perfectly and has a ridiculously high-quality feel to it.
The biggest departure from AOSP is that there's no App Drawer. All your apps are spread across homescreens, and removing them from the screen deletes the app entirely. This is a throwback to iOS (the MX attempts to emulate the iPhone 4).
It's nice to look at, but in actual use it leaves a bit to be desired. Thankfully AOSP was released for the MX so it was easy enough to switch. It attempts to emulate iOS though, and does it pretty well.
I'd love to see this ported to another Android device, as it's easily the most beautiful and simple interface I've used.

Looks similar to MIUI.

Couldn't you just throw a 3rd party launcher like apex or nova to get the app drawer? Or would that defeat the purpose of this type of rom

Absolutely, that's exactly what I did (LauncherPro). There were only three things that irked me about the MX:
1) The lack of App Drawer (solved with another Launcher, as you say)
2) The silly lack of punctuation evident on the main keyboard, with no easy way to include it mid-sentence (solved with another Keyboard)
3) The hard-coded 320 DPI lockscreen, dialler and other elements, which break at anything other than 320 DPI. It's comically big, so I like to dial it down to 240 but it broke these couple of things. ExDialler fixed the dialler, but the lockscreen becomes a jumbled mess.
These few things can be fixed by replacement, but you're basically defeating the point of FlyMe. Still, the MX hardware alone was worth the cost - superb little phone.

That's because it pretty much. I believe this is where MIUI was built off of.

[Q] So... Anything new on Smart Updates?

Still gotta DL the WHOLE app (eg. a 1GB game update) instead of just the new/replaced files that Google announced will be launched with the JB release.
Smart Update: http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/17/3248874/google-play-store-smart-updates-enabled
Anyone know what going on with that?

I don't know the technical details of the technology, but from what I read about it I assume it only works for changes in the APK. Games often contain a lot of graphic data, which probably renders this technique kinda useless
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

I'm pretty sure they are already enabled but they still show as if you are downloading the entire file. So there is no way to know when they are put to use and how big the apk diff files are.

Busybox free uses it..and facebook 1.9.9 update too...
With the last updates it was finished within seconds..the download....

Interesting. So how does Google select which apps start using it? Or is it some kinda automated update adding apps to its list for Smart Update support?

Noo the devs of the apps must build it in aka support it

I'm pretty sure that isn't the case. Google automatically enables smart app updates for all (I presume) apps. This was said at the I/O conference that developers didn't need to do anything and personally I haven't seen any new API calls nor manifest lines that I need to add.

FWIW, I updated Dead Trigger the other day and it only downloaded around 500k of updated data... so, yea, it does work for games as well.
Again, it depends on the APK and the changes involved.
Something I noticed the other day: the progress bar on the Play Store was slow, and would cut off somewhere in the middle just before updating. If you want to see the real update progress, look in the notification shade.

I think its an switch that the dev must activate to use it

Yes..u r ri8...notification bar shows correct % of update where as progress bar shows size of kbs downloaded...

Yes, I have noticed this also recently. So I guess it was a slow rollout.

I have encountered several updates that use this. I remember Google saying that it is something that will happen automatically and not something that will require any changes on the part of the developers

Needing a Better Calculator

Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2

If you guys are talking about the stock app, how can you say it works perfectly when the dimensions of the app force you to use more than three quarters of the screen to use it? Could you recommend one that uses half the screen, because if I am expected to give up so much real estate for it, it would be better to completely switch from one app to another. I had thought the whole idea of multitasking was to do more than one thing at a time.
EDIT
Honestly, if you guys are just attempting to be rude, I'd rather not have the help because I was intending to get answers to a serious question.
If the video player that comes stock didn't show the full dimensions of the movie but "worked perfectly" with multi window by merely running and displaying half of the screen, I doubt that would be good enough for you. Of course, you could just expand the window to get more of the picture, but that defeats the purpose, doesn't it?

Office Calculator, AirCalc, and Adding Machine are my favorite Android calculators.

Device: Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (SGH-T889)
Android Version: 4.1.1 Jelly Bean
Build: JRO03C.T889UVALK8 (Rooted)
Device: Motorola DROID X
Android Version: 2.3.3 Gingerbread
Build: 4.5.605.Accurate_Battery (Rooted)

I second aircal, I use it on jellybam (no multi-window as it is AOSP) but floating calc = better the multi-window calc since you can have 3 things up at a time then lol.
Of course the calc is not super feature rich, but for general math it is good enough for me.

Thanks. With the dev name, I was able to find it. Without it it seemed as though you were talking about the stock and I didn't know any better. It was pretty far down the list, but I found it and I will try it out. The screen shot surely looks much more promising then the stock one on our devices. The Air also looks to have even greater utility and I will give it a look as well. Thanks again.

Galaxy Nexus ROMs with ETS Channel Set To USB (Besides EOS ROM!)

Hey guys, the title says it all. I'm trying to find some Verizon Galaxy Nexus ROMs with ETS Channel Set to USB already. I'm currently running an awesome 4.2.2 ROM (MMuzzy) but don't think there's a way to set ETS to USB unfortunately. I've used the Team EOS ROM before and it honestly just feels like ICS. I want at least a 4.2.1 ROM but I don't know of any that I can use with ETS. Just so you know, I've already flashed the Sprint radios to disable UIM and I've used script manager to make the changes for USB MODEM and USB PDA, still not working with ETS. It still just autoruns when I attach phone shows it as device. Thanks so much guys!

Shame. You were doing so well until the ICS comment, which doesn't even make sense. Oh, and since this is the development board, thank you for developing this. I missed the download link.

How's the battery life on this???

You say shame but.. the Team EOS "Jellybean" rom doesn't include Google Now, Quick Settings, the updated browser or basically anything else from Jelly Bean. Have you ever actually used the TeamEOS ROM for the Galaxy Nexus? Even the transitioning between windows, desktops, etc is sluggish.. i.e no project butter from jelly bean. I'm just calling a spade a spade.
EDIT: It also doesn't have torch. And "lol" isn't even in the dictionary! C'mon now

Looks to me like bigrushdog IS a developer for TeamEOS, so that would mean he has probably used it.

GoogleNow is a part of Gapps, and legally can not be packaged with any AOSP distro. If you had more than 30 posts you may know that.

May I buy drugs from you? You're clearly on something based on your OP and this post. I've been a loyal EOS fan/stalker since I found the ROM and all I can say is you're 100% wrong on everything you've said. This rom comes "with" Google Now (via gapps), Quick Settings AND the quick setting manager (ya know that thread by kevdliu - EOS team member), and contains all the goodness that is Jelly Bean. I'm starting to wonder if YOU ever used the EOS4 rom because if you have you never would have made claims like this.
Being a ROM skank I've tried them all & come back to EOS every time because of the speed & mods I want/use. If I were you I'd request this thread be closed, you check your facts, and think before you post next time.

Don't close it yet this is hilarious.

The theme is Cobalt paid. It's a sick theme for sure. Glass is our version of system bars transparency. It's getting there but not ready to be merged yet. Our implementation is rather unique and deserves the proper polish first. Let's leave the poor OP alone :angel: He seemed most eager to put my project on blast. I'm not sure why. Nor do I care. Although the answer to his ets question is right in front of him, I don't know if he has the vision to see...

Lookin for app to lock icon positions on screens.

Hey, gang. I did several searched through the site but didn't find a solution. Let me toss this out there. I'm looking for an app with a particular function. What I want to do is "freeze" the locations of the icons/widgets on the screens. Something that will allow their use, but not their moving or deletion.
Here's the deal. My daughter loves my N7, and uses it for her ECSE and speech therapy classes with specific apps to facilitate her development. (She's ASD.) She's really good about the length of time she's on the tablet, and has never gone off and gotten into any trouble with it. The problem is that several of her apps have a "drag and drop on the red X" function to close particular segments or sections within the apps. They're similar enough to the "drag and drop onto the red X" function in the Droid UI that she gets confused, deletes the icons for the apps themselves, and then can't find them the next time she wants to use them.
While I can set up a second user with her name and the same development apps that she uses, it still won't stop her from losing icons from time to time.
I've looked into a number of parental control apps, and while they clamp things down, I haven't found one that locks or "freezes" the positions of the icons.
Does something like this even exist? Trolling through Google Play hasn't found anything specific. Device is stock 4.2.2, unlocked and rooted, if that makes any different in recommendations. Thanks, all. :fingers-crossed:

Have you tried something like Apex Launcher? You could set up the layout and then use the Lock Desktop option to prevent any changes to the home screens.

With SS Launcher you can move any icon to any position on the screen (no grid), rotate to any angle, resize and recolor, pretty much unlimited. Many examples in this thread. My Home (notice Flipboard and FUEL at an angle; also notice that Wifi Manager widget is "behind" Widgetsoid widgets at bottom so all are active):

Sorry to not get back sooner, got mired in a 65 hour week.
Cue forehead-slapping "doh!" image. I got my head fixated on an app, and completely forgot about alternate launchers. Brilliant suggestion, guys, many thanks. Can you run the lock functions over a stock layout? ASD kids do well with routine and familiarity, and it would help that she not have to relearn new of screen layouts. OTOH, I can always replicate the layout that I already have, too.
Thanks again, gang, the advice and recommendations are appreciated.

I know nova aill let you import the layout from other launchers not sure if apex does it too or not. But worth checking.
