really? the simplicity of having only ONE unit/OS with everything you use on it? Maybe you're a hoarder but me personally like to minimize my unit count. Having two OS installations on two different computers/work stations is one too much. If you're not a power user and only use your computer for internet and documents this will be awesome.

is there any pics of this on the andriod?

That's a very helpful reply Hank, thanks so much for your participation.
arkas,
it appears the adam kernel is specifically for the intl S3, as I cannot find any other reference for it.

You have to admit Bob, you said what at least once reading that.
Arkas, this should be in the q&a section, maybe themes and apps but definitely not the development section. Hope you find what you are looking for.
Give me some M.O.A.R. because its the ?!

Try changing superuser.apk to something different. I know with time warner app it wouldn't work because of root. So changed it to just user.apk rebooted and it worked.

It appears that it works on my end but I'm on Verizon so ultimately there is no way for me to try on an international phone. Sky go was obtained through an alternative source because Google play says it was not "available" for download through play store.
Also I'm not entirely sure we're even talking about the same sky go since there were a couple available and op didn't offer up anything other than ramblings.
That sufficient Bob?

its a comeback, saying google said that now android will be optimized to run on older devices. They are trying to get the latest versions of android on all android phones, not just nexus devices:laugh:
But it would be great if google made a generic build, like how ubuntu is. It could install on any device

if s ii plus will receive 4.4 that would be awesome because i will keep it for next 3 years :good:
but it's bad for companies like Samsung
so it won't update to 4.4
that's my logic

if cm does support our device,i wont mind not getting official 4.4 from samsung (my old ace official fw stop at gb,but xda support made it last till 4.2 )

Don't you just love when Google releases a new version. Although I bet a lot of devices will be getting this through the awesome devs here on XDA.

If you can't wait for custom rom , you can already install new google launcher and many app from the AOSP leak.
I can send you link in pv if you want, i don't have enough post yet to post link :crying:
New launcher work great with CM 10.2

C'mon, 4.1.2 was the last official release. We're not getting 4.2 and we're certainly not getting 4.3 or 4.4. You should know a little about your device before posting questions here.

It boots with massive hacks.
BT works.

[DEV-ONLY] Android L Port

Hi guys,
First I must begin by saying that I am not a developer. However, using this: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1908008) thread, I have managed to "port" Android L to the One, though I have no clue if it even boots. There are a few problems that need to be discussed:
1) AOSP ROMs are around 400 mb? This one is 900+ mb.
2) When I was zipping the ROM, I saw Prism.apk was also in it, and a heck lot of other HTC related things.
3) Will the current kernel for KitKat work smoothly on L?
Anyway, this is my first step to being a potential developer and hope you all get excited for this. I do have one request though, if I can get a few devs to work with me on this, we can get to new heights on our One.
You can download the zip I created here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4JA1Kc3xlxiZUw2XzNzM1NKMVU/edit?usp=sharing

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOUR DEVICE GETS BRICKED.
Thanks in advance,

Can you attach the Build.prop file?

If you're going to post it at least try it yourself first man, this could brick everyone's device.

Did you miss the [Dev-Only] in the title? Every flash on your device could brick it if you aren't careful, nothing unique with this build. If you don't want to risk it, don't flash. Simple as that.

But as far as I remember, I did not do anything to it. The base ROM that I used was a stock deodexed Sense 6 ROM and the port ROM I used was the system dump from Android L, if that helps.

Im not a dev just a general user but I don't think we should be creating these types of threads if you don't know what you're doing. Let the real devs do their work if it was as easy as following a copy/pasting port guide every device would already have a l build. Just be patient and eventually a nice dev will maybe make some magic happen for us.

This ROM will not work, period. The reason is because you did not follow step 1 of the guide which states quite clearly:
"Take any clean CM9, AOSP, CM7, CM10, CM11 ROM which is running on your device as Base ROM."
Now, don't know about you but I do not think a stock deodexed Sense 6 ROM counts as any of those mentioned in step 1... that is why you are seeing HTC things in the ROM.

no man, you can not do this because we have not a base for L! so it should be ported compiling source and fixing bug and issues...is not a thing that you find in a guide

estabien said:
I think your best bet would be to download the Nexus 5 sources and then do some "patchwork" with HTC One libs and whatnot, when needed. The good thing is that they are both at the same resolution and have similar specs.
And after you're done with that, you should be able to build with a couple of adjustments to various build-related things.
EDIT: Also, there will probably be issues with kernels? so you'll have to work through that also.

You can't be patching and copy/pasting libs. No zip modding when it comes to porting big base changes
You'll need to decompile and redo your ramdisk etc. And like jonny said you can't be using sense and gpe parts

Android L Keyboard in Play Store
I just wanted to note that there's a third-party application "Android L Keyboard" by Shen Le in the Play Store which I've been using on the latest CM11 nightlies that works great.
I understand that's not the point of this project but I just wanted to make sure other users are aware. Also, it's kind of scary to have to trust that a keyboard from the Play Store isn't logging and reporting your keystrokes but that's another issue entirely... anyways I added a screenshot, good luck with the project!
:good:

Thread has been closed at OP's request,
Many thanks,
