When will 4.0.3 start rolling out?

Did google say anything about 4.0.3 for the nexus?

From what I've heard, it was supposed to start rolling out already, Google found some quirks or bugs so they decided to pull it back. I'm sure we'll start to see it within a week or two.

I feel the same way. Caused me nothing but small heart attacks when I was flashing a rom and I thought I was bricking my phone.
Although I say that now but when I get my phone ill probably end up modding it lol

I've owned 10+ android phones in 3 years. Modding them/putting on different roms/etc would have its benefits, but in the end it just caused nothing but issues (either major or annoying minor ones).
And when I put the phone completely back to stock, it just never ran as good as it did when it really was stock before I started modding.

That was in reference to the rollout OTA for the GSM Nexus S. It wasn't halted as much as they're doing a staggered rollout to catch bugs etc. and gauge reactions.

+1 Learnt the lesson from the developer tablet, the Xoom. Rooted it expecting great advantages and then discovered rooted Xooms couldn't rent movies, no longer got ota updates (but still got the annoying update messages)....
I flashed my HTC because they didn't have the gingerbread update for the Desire z for months and to get rid of sense. Flashed my Samsung SG2 to get rid of touchwiz.
But don't see any reason to mess with Google's best efforts - particularly with Wallet and the like being a big part of this phone's future (the thought of some stranger having complete control over my system when using my phone to pay for things worries me).
Still no update in Australia. Still on 4.0.1 and my phone is the Google direct version.

The chase stops when you stop looking for a ROM with all the features you want and make your own.

I think it depends a lot on how much you are willing to mod for example, when I went and upgraded to 4.0.2 my radio updated as well which made my GPS useless so I modded and downgraded my radio back and I have never been happier.
And once voodoo mod makes its way to the galaxy nexus I don't think it would be easy just letting it slip by...

So now you have to buy a phone and make your own software on top of it ?
I liked to flash mods on my Nexus One, it was fun, I found the CyanogenMod pretty good for me. But I did not root my Galaxy Nexus yet and I don't really feel the need to, except to get the official updates.
I think that as soon as Google released the 4.0.3 source code, they should have released the OTA for the Galaxy Nexus as well as the Nexus S. I compiled the official 4.0.3 from the source, but I can't flash it because I did not root my device. I find this a bit strange.

You don't need to be rooted to "flash" what you built. Just fastboot oem unlock to unlock your bootloader and fastboot flash the images.

Most definitely, but for now I'm back to stock;
Woke up this morning to find my phone bootlooping, I tried everything to rectify the problem, 2 slice of toast and a mug of tea later I had to resort to a factory image reflash at a cost of losing all of my data

I thought they postponed it for Nexus S because of high battery power consumption by Android OS process. Anyway, I too was wondering when it's going to pop up for us. Any more info on the matter ?

You're right. But rooting is not the real problem for me. My problem is unlocking and reseting the phone. I don't want to loose all my data (including game saves !) but the only way I can save them is ... to be root. I will do it eventually, but it still bothers me

Why the heck can't I update to 4.1.2?!?

I've seen other people posting about how they're at 4.2, on AT&T. It's not in the card for me though. I try OTA, and Kies daily, nothing. Googled it, nothing. Searched here, nothing. What the hell!

Yes, Sammy is adding what they are calling "Premium Suite," but no idea when that will be released. Just keep an eye on Android blogs and here on XDA and you'll have it as soon as it's available.

actually
when i was using 4.1.1 stock, the battery was pretty good, just turn off gps and autosync and it'd last ~2 days without use much beside talk, text
and sorry to disappoint you, due to our U.S S3 only has duo core, there won't be any "Multi windows"
but there are roms out there that has it, that's if you have your phone rooted
and if your phone is rooted, there are also a lot of roms out there have a really good battery life.

Oh and if you look around the Dev Thread, there are some ROMs that are ports of Note 2 ROMs that have Multi-Window built in. Give them a try.

I'm gonna have to look into rooting then. I have pretty good battery life, but could always be better, especially if I get some added perks.

[Q] Where we stand on AOSP?

Basically, I was wondering where we stand in terms of perfectly stable 4.4.2 AOSP builds. I have seen posts saying that there are issues with the LS980 variant in particular, and I am a bit uneasy where we will be down the road, not just for KitKat. Basically, will we get screwed and not be able to go further unofficially(because I fully expect LG to not update past 4.4.X, because it's LG)? I see builds being attempted with 4.4.2 source, but apparently the LS980 will not boot on the newer source. I am contemplating switching to a Nexus 5, as I find myself using AOSP exclusively, but the G2 is better in almost every conceivable way. It's been awkwardly silent for a couple weeks now, so any updates to report? I'm not looking for an ETA, just a possible confirmation of progress. I just want to know if I need to entertain the idea of getting a N5. :silly: Thanks!

Sure, except for the poor audio quality, random reboots, system lockups, GPS issues, some apps not working with touchscreen, etc.....
So yeah, except for all AOSP ROMs being completely unstable and borderline unusable, they're pretty solid.

had better audio quality on cm11 than stock 4.2.2, my phone never randomly rebooted, never locked up unless i caused it..... never had these issues.. so i guess i was one of the lucky ones?

From a well-known dev:
"Like most kitkat roms actions from superuser / power up bluetooth *can* cause lag until you screen off and on.
D802 and VS980 have reboot issues like every other rom. Please do not report this or ask other users if they also get them, its a well known issue." - dr87
Audio issues can be found in literally every single ROM thread, I wasn't wasting more of my time finding quotes.
Every AOSP ROM has these issues, period. Whether or not you get them is a roll of the dice, but saying they don't exist shows how out-of-touch with the community you really are. Maybe try learning about the device you use, and know what you're talking about before you attack other members of the community. If I'm wrong fine, tell me I'm wrong, I'll respect and understand that. But when 5 minutes of searching generates all that "proof", much less what has been documented since August, it shows that you clearly would rather attack others than educate yourself.

It depends, LiquidSmooth has been stable for me recently, I got two freezes 2 weeks ago, but none since. Touch screen is borked for certain apps on all AOSP ROMs though, regardless. All ROMs have these issues, but it varies on the severity. I have personally never had stable GPS on ANY AOSP ROM since I got the phone on release day(November 8th), and I've tried every ROM available for the LS980.
These issues are supposed to be fixed in newer ROMs incorporating 4.4.2 kernel source, but the LS980 is struggling to boot said source, from what I understand. Check out houstonn's PA 4.0 or dr87's Mahdi, both are testing builds with newer source, and all these issues are apparently fixed. :good:

link 3: very old thread, doesn't reflect current CM11 roms
link 4: not relevant, this is the sprint section and I see almost no CM11/AOSP mentions there. Last AOSP mention was in December... aka: doubly not relevant
link 5: very not relevant as that's a VZW G2 and not a sprint one. (this is the SPRINT section afterall) Doubly not relevant due to mentions in the thread you linked to mentioning the vzw G2 is the crippled version.

If I installed PA on a LG G3

I'm considering buying the LG g3, but I wouldn't want such a large phone if I couldn't get Paranoid Android on it. But would that kill off the Double tap to wake feature?

I've read as much, but also read the bootloader got unlocked and people are rooting it left and right, so I figured PA couldn't be that far off? Or am I totally wrong? My only android experience is with a nexus 4 in 2012 :S

Yeah well, we can all guess what's gonna come and what's not. You've gotta wait till it comes, only then we can answer your questions.
Like the previous user said, there's no Paranoid Android for any G3 variant as of right now. There is an unofficial untethered custom recovery method available, which is called Bump, which the developers are eventually going to release a method to "bump" custom ROMs.
There isn't much wrong with the stock rom, it's better then Touchwizz at least.

Marshmallow over nougat? who still uses 6.0 !?

What's up everyone !
I just wanted to ask a simple question, who here still use marshmallow ROMs , which ones and why ?
The reason why I ask because for some time now I've been wanting to go back for xposed of course and other features like theme engines and so on.
Has anyone felt like this and ended up reverting back ?
Should I do it ?
Please let me know. Thank you ! :good:

Nexus 5x owner since July 2016. Still using Marshmallow 6.0.1 Stock! (No root, no roms)...

I just unboxed my 5x planning on staying on 6.0 was a long time apple user until I finally got fed up. If there is one thing that I learned it is definitely dont update until you can be sure that you won't lose any fucntionality (obviously)
Potentially looking to Root but still evaluating the cost/benefit. Learning some cool stuff. Just thinking about the possibility of apps that I use everyday not working.

Woah ! That's nice to know. Congrats on your switch and welcome to the wonderful world of Android. Lol
I totally understand about being fed up with apple. And tbh with updating android you will gain functionally but also lose abilities to use certain things such as mods and apps that haven't been updated. It can both be a win and or a lose. But not too major.
And for a new comer to an Android device I'd say stay stock right now. Get to know your device and read all over XDA on the potential and great things your device is capable of.
Once you get through that your first step is to root and then choose your ROM and mods.
Xposed will be your main go to for mods.
Thanks for you input BTW good luck on your new device ! :good:

I would go back to Android 5.1.1.
It is the best and most optimized version made.
Too bad NX5 goes back to only 6.0 as it was the first to feature it.

I appreciate this. It is a refreshing change from apple, whom in my opinion locks you into their singular way of doing things and users dont really have the freedom to opt out. New exploits are patched within days, old firmware stops being signed by apple within about a week so that once you update you can never go back. They are making things really tough for the jailbreak community, which is ultimately the reason I chose to switch. So far, I really like my 5x. Only issue I am worried about right now is battery life and not making it thru a full day. I taken measures in order to reduce power consumption, but theres only so much you can do as you know.

I´m also using MM. AOKP is the only ROM I could get that applies Security Patches very often. And I will stay on MM until Xposed lands into Nougat
