AFAIK there are no plans to release Ubuntu Touch for N7 2013 at the moment. Unless someone tries to port It once it's released this month.

Sad but true.

Its official! Galaxy Nexus is coming to Sprint & LTE!

It has a faster CPU than its version counterpart.
And its sprint's first lte phone!
This is my next phone.
For two simple reasons.
1: never worry about finding/losing rooting exploits, same with boot loaders.
2: fast updates. I'm not talking about ota's. I'm talking about source release, because when ICS drops on a HTC or Samsung. You can't have custom kernels, which takes a large part out of the experience. Unless the source is dropped along with drivers.
What do yo guys think?
Are you going to jump ship and get this year's annual Nexus or wait... HTC's been awfully quiet recently. Wonder what their planning
Here's the article

I'm super hype I almost spent my Christmas money. I'm putting it away. Hopefully it drops soon. My city isn't in the 1st wave of LTE cities. But I live in Las Vegas so we should get it soon after. Since this is LTE it should be bigger like other Verizon version I assume

So is it just the same CPU overclocked? Or should I say clocked at its factory rating...

We don't know yet. It might be the same CPU in the gs2. Awww that would be great
I think its call the galxos or something.
Its better than the one in the verison version .

Exynos.
I'll be holding off on this one.
I'm sure it'd be the same processor, just set at default clock speed rather than underclocked.
I hope this is true cuz I'm getting this phone there's only one phone that I would want over this & its the galaxy s3 which is going to be a monster quad core with 2 gb of ram if Samsung could only have a way to disable TW & give the options of vanilla ics or TW it would be the greatest phone ever it would practically be a galaxy nexus & galaxy s3 all in one device!! But that would never happen!

I was all about this phone a month and a half ago but now I am not so sure. I already have 2 Android phones and have considered adding an iphone to the collection especially considering my new vehicle is much more compatible with iOS than Android
We'll see i suppose.
Patiently gonna wait for this

I look forward to getting this for free at the Google I/O Conference...
Unless you live in one of the four lte cities I'd wait for the next phone. The phones hardware is nice buy there will be better VERY shortly after and since lte won't matter I'd give it a few months to drop in price honestly.

Why are you holding off? There is only one nexus a year. And wasn't the nexus one the best phone when it came out? The only thing that touched it closely was the evo. And our nexus s, nothing touched it expect for the gsii (over a year)
Nexuses simply run the smoothest because the most current version of android is made for them.
Gs3 won't come out until 2013
Gs2 is out because no lte.
So for me its the Nexus vs iPhone (isn't it always?)
And I wouldn't expect another iPhone for at least 8 months

I cant see why people would wait. We get stuck up in numbers so much we lose sight of a phone working. People cry about no up dates. Here is the chance to have the most up to date and the simplest path to roms.

[Q] Android 5.0

Any idea when Android 5.0 will be launched for Galaxy Nexus?
I already have a beta. Its awsum! Its like a mix of android/iOS and wp8.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
When you pull your head out of your ass and use the search button.
A couple of weeks after the announcement at Google I/O so that would make it early june.(Or maybe july given that the nexus 4 is probably first in line now)

Umm try hitting refresh in the system update menu. It should be there. Its amazing btw.
A couple weeks after Google I/O in May. Perhaps Mid-June to Early July. It might be 5.0 or 4.3 but I'm betting on 4.3.

First we have to get 4.3 at Google IO in May and then Android 5.0 will come out to lure all the Holiday shoppers in the Fall.

You may want to check out the video Adam Outler put out some days ago about that exact matter(I can't still post outside links unfortunately, just look for it on the xda youtube channel). But dear lord, don't troll him that hard people

Google brings up 4.3 KeyLimePie not 5.0
The level of maturity here is ridiculous. The guy/gal probably just wants to know if any info has come forward about a release date, they probably don't even know about google i/o, but you guys run off making stupid remarks, would it kill you to just say, no info on it at this time.
Galaxy nexus won't even get official android 5 so don't even bother asking for a release date, whenever the new nexus phone comes out near end of 2013 around october maybe is when android 5 will come out, so you got a few more months to wait yet even if you get the new nexus.

Hello,
Is it the New Nexus 7 released in 2013?
If yes, I am not even aware it is available yet although I did read in the news that a man from China got it by mistake while shipping it from USA.
Do not tell me that you are that guy
Well, if you have the old model, Nexus 7 2012, then you have posted this in the wrong thread.
If you have the new Nexus 7, It depends that you can run custom roms or not. No one has seen the binaries or flash images for the New Nexus 7 so I can not say it might work or not. You might have to take the risk if you still want to try.
Also, I think unless LTE is integrated with some system files, you will be cool to go and not be able to use communications but that is still highly unlikely because from the old Nexus 7 LTE model, I know the source binaries were quite different.
You can even hard brick your device.
My advice, enjoy the LTE till it is official.
I work for a mobile company in the UK. So I have a final test one. A nexus 2013 LTE.

Any word on a release date?
Can you make a nandroid of that rom beforehand and upload it?
(I would recommend against using TWRP for the moment as it has a lot of issues with nandroids, there seem to be a working CWM at the moment)

Probably never will make any voice calls, they so far go on overlaid 3g networks due to lots of upgrades required in the backhaul. Voip, ie. CSipSimple, is the way to go. And you will need a headset.
The Phone App is in the filesystem but doesn't show in the ui.
I'm hoping this will be different as it uses a different chip than the nexus 7 3g(2012)
The 2013 N7 LTE should be using a APQ8064-1AA + MDM9615A + WTR1605L,
which is very similar to the APQ8064 + MDM9615A + WTR1605L on the N4.
While it might be (hypothetically) possible for it to do so in hardware, it could still be disabled.
Both the N4 and 2013 N7's wifi/bt chips also support fm radio at the silicon level, but it's disabled at the chip level.
The LTE on the N4 is disabled at the firmware level (as the lte mod is due to leftover code, if it were not for that it doesnt have LTE period)
It could have voice calls disabled at the silicon level, chip level, firmware level, or rom level, since they can easily spec modems that have broken voice call support since it's not used in the first place.

Android 5.0 Lollipop and Google Nexus 7 2012

It really grinds my gears to hear that the Google nexus 7 2012 version is getting android 5.0, a 2 year old device will get the latest Google treat and not our abandoned One X. Happy for Nexus 7 owners though.
It would be so great if its possible to make it on hox. There would be no point for selling hox

Nexus 7 2013 (WiFi) Android M Port

I was wondering if there was an Android M Developer Preview port for the Nexus 7 2013 WiFi model.
Sent from my Nexus 7 2013
I'd like to know this as well. I traded in my LG G3 shortly after purchase, not that I didn't like the device, but work was going to BYOD and I find an iOS device preferable for work and personal, where I use Android for personal only, and had used WP8 for work only previously.
Anyway, I recently heard about Android M Dev Preview, but my only two Android devices at the moment are the original Xoom tablet (Wifi, no 3G) and a Nexus 7 (2013). So if I could load and check it out without having to buy a newer tablet, that would be nice.
It would almost be impossible! Google hasn't released any APIs yet for Android M.

They did it for the original Nexus 7 so why not this one?
