I'm sure you all know Google Keyboard is out in the play store. However it is telling me it is incomatible with my device. Stock JB Rom, Not rooted... Anyone else try it?

It's probably a version problem when Google put it on the store.
It's not compatible with my DX on Sense JB rooted.
However...
It's not compatible with my Nexus S so... I supposed it's the same error that Google+ get on a update.
Last month, a Google+ update change the application as not compatible with other Android versions than 2.2 and 2.3.

I have 5 devices here, compaitble with 3 of them. Weird. What a terrible mess of an OS android has become. It makes development very unpleasant at times, especially at a higher (Java) level. Most of the advantages of Linux are absent (RAM management is comparatively poor due to it being a battery powered device) and a lot of the ease of development of iOS is also gone as you have to lower your SDK version way down as many people are on previous versions.
It's only a keyboard, but it highlights a lot of my annoyances with Google, kotowing to the carriers, to the manufacturers and the complete lack of consistency.
I used to hate iOS then gradually the niggles in Android got very annoying, and I'm leaning more and more towards it as I go! Apple's aggressive favouring of user experience is annoying sometimes for a developer but for daily use for an end user it is far superior.

I won't! Couldn't bring myself to pay an extra hundred bucks for apple branding. Their products are decent but the prices are a bit insane! Windows 8 phones are surprisingly pleasant to use too. I'm all for more competition in the market to push some innovation and try to drive the prices down!
Ross can share the apk of the keyboard (from any supported device)? Wanna try it out before they fix it (if they'll fix fast as hangouts then we have more than a week...) Tnx

I've headed into work, only have the DX with me at the minute sorry. The apk will not load on the DX if sideloaded anyway, unfortunately. Good old HTC removing functioinality with nothing added. Again. Sorry. I'll have a look around online for one, I'm sure it's out there.

Parsing error in jelly bean still. Hmmmmm.
Works for me on JB, but uninstalled it because SwiftKey is just so much better. SwiftKey seems to be the only option which suggests a world while your swiping, the others only suggest after you've swiped. It makes it so much quicker.
And I'm also stock JB rooted...
Using SwiftKey myself! Not too bad.
what are u talking about. i downloaded the google keyboard from play store on my stock ics desire x and use it with no problem.

dont try to be smart now, you do know at least 2 people in this thread saying the keyboard works on jb
But not for many others. There is an issue that's all I'm saying. Works on my s4, s3, nexus. Not on stock in here from play store. Bugs on my HTC one also.
You were bring smart first too, doesn't work i asked the question out of curiosity. No bother on other devices for me. 2 people sitting beside me have same issue.

So. What now?
There is few - non-complete - ICS roms for the htc flyer, but nothing good enough for daily use.
We didn't even get android 4 before android 5 was out... :crying:
Drew Garen is apparently working on ICS. Maybe he should be asked to try to work on Jellybean instead?
What do you think? Will it be harder to get Jellybean? Will it ever be done?
I think you should just give it up. What makes you think we ll get 4.1,if like you said we don't even have a good ics Rom. If you realy want buy a nexus 7. It's 199 so the price is very reasonable
I'm pretty confident that Chaos is going to get his ICS build perfected with everything working, I mean, look how far he has gotten so far. I wouldn't count on DG though. Too many broken promises.
As for Jellybean. The source code isn't even released yet. Just the update for the galaxy nexus and the sdk. Sdk ports will never be as good as source builds so forget about that. When the source is released for JB I don't think it will be too hard to get an AOSP build going seeing as we already have a good ICS build. The leap wasn't as big from ICS to JB as it was from GB to ICS. So in theory, we will probably get JB (I can't speak for the other developers) sometime after the source is released.
So just sit back, be patient and keep track of any news
This is getting silly. Really! I think it is best to just cut the loses & buy something new. I think the turn around for new OS'a is shortening. I mean ICS isn't even a year old. I've learnt my lesson.
My next contract will only be 12 months. & I will dump the limping HTC brand for something else. That way I won't be disappointed.

I was kind of hoping DG would actually do something...
However, I have been positively surprised with other developers before. Honestly I don't want another tablet either.

Yes, I suppose all hope is lost with DG. A shame he was given money to do it, when he couldn't. Anyways, I hope we get either...

I personally want to use my device as long as the hardware is okay. (I still have my HTC hero, haha.) I think the lesson here is to buy a device that has loads of rom developers.
Anyways, thanks for all the replies!
Man everyone is obsessing over jelly bean...why? It's a minor update.. its a miracle chaos got ics running on this device, asking for jelly bean is a new monster. Id rather the focus be on getting ics perfect for the tablet than start over on a new monster. And idk about jelly beans New tablet mode, Id prefer the tablet ui that was introduced with honeycomb.
Thing is google cranks out new android versions quickly. People won't keep this tab forever, including developers. So the best possible experience that takes full advantage of the flyers hardware needs to be the goal not desperately trying to scrape together parts to get another version of android on the tab. Really I'm fine with honeycomb aside from the lag, and ioiwillio is working on that and so far so good

I think I'd rather get ICS running properly too.
Jelly Bean does not have a landscape home screen, which is weird.
The emphasis on voice and search is getting too much for me too. I feel like Jelly Bean was designed to collect information about you. It is getting too big brotherish.
It sounds great to get a Nexus 7 maybe 16g at least. I don't know if they have sdcard slot, that would awesome. The HTC EVO View still has great potential as a school tool. I take it everywhere take notes, make beats, do homework, watch movies, listen to music, text everyone and email. I hardly carry my phone to school or laptop. I think its still very functional, even the Gingerbread works fine on this device. I can even code. It's definitively not a 12 core that I treasure so much as to not carry it outside my home in sunny Southern California.
I would rather use telepathy but I'm stuck in a Dark Age.
Big Bro indeed. As much as I like Google, their goal of collecting all information is frightening. Information is power - someone with too much power is a tyrant.

AS Gumby said earlier i do not think it is too hard to do, i am not even sure it requires Kernel changes in order to get it working, i believe that it can share the same kernel as AOSP ICS, however don't quote me on this. I will have a look at this with whoever decides to develop
@Gumby you up for this ? ?

This could be fixed i believe, (Not by me) as i don't really know much about the APK's at all. But i beleive it is possible, the same code from an ICS lockscreen apk would work and also i believe a lot of the ICS APK's would work as this is not a major API level only a slight step up, however i could be incorrect.
Yeah actually the 10 inch layout for jellybean is classic honeycomb style and they've already found out on the nexus tablet its just a matter of rooting and changing the dpi

Yes. It seems like I am wrong about it anyway. There IS a landscape mode in the UI.
I am thinking about ordering one. It is a shame because the Flyer has better hardware in some respects (rear camera, SD slot, MHL support). But, Nexus 7 hardware is good enough and, most importantly, it has Google supporting it so we will surely get timely software updates for a while at least. Also, I am sure that there will be a ton of Dev activity becasue this is a Google product and will probably be at least moderately successful.
Hope the community of flyer grow stronger and stronger. Anyway it is not old enough to die, with all this, All the flyer will have a longer life:fingers-crossed:

We need a ICS kernel first, and I was pretty sure the framework changes were rather intensive.
From what I can gather, the changes between HC and ICS and hell compared to the minor update from ICS to JB. If we can get a working ICS build for the Flyer, JB will seem like a piece of cake.
Back to the UI discussion, I'm actually a fan of the layout on the Nexus 7. It's actually more of a traditional phone layout which would work much better on the Flyer if the soft keys were disabled and we could go back to the hardware keys. It would free up the bottom of the screen and give us more usable space.

I'm kinda thinking that too. Ideally what I think would be perfect for the flyer is a launcher with a honeycomb layout that auto rotates to both portrait and landscape and has no dock and the apps and search bar up top just like honeycomb. Then you have the notification bar up top, virtual keys disabled, and hardware keys enabled and bam perfect flyer layout!

Hi Willybillies and Buzzonians ,
just wanted to point your attention at yesterday's nice finding. If you still haven't found a player that matches your needs (especially regarding playlists and such) have a look at this Beta. Haven't tested all the stuff yet but I already like it - and I have been the guineapig: runs fine on my Willy atm: [APP][2.3+] XenoAmp - a bit different audio player.
Hint: read the OP to find out (the concepts, what it's capable of, if you might like it) - it's worth a read anyway lol.

sad, it's based on CM7 nightlies and has Symp kernel - so it's not much away from my setup. I have seen others with problems (Desire and LG phones for example) - there has also been an "emergency release 0.9" yesterday, but I'm already on release 0.11 - the dev seems to be very responsive to all the bug reports
--- EDIT --- if you tried it 2 days ago it most likely has been one of the very first releases I guess...?
It was 08 version from 16th of august.
Currently I'm on a froyo sense Rom,Will try it with some GB rom ASAP.

I see (looks like some kind of sense fever has been spread over the forums lol). Guess you have seen the remarks on froyo? He said it should work but he couldn't test it (he'll probably like to get some error log...)
I still like it very much - first of all the approach with the playlists (that you just could add titles by selecting them in any file explorer) and the clean UI etc. - and that everything is set up by using a db etc etc - still testing though...

It might take a few more updates of the app so that it becomes smooth. The dev has thought quite a lot many thing for the low end ldpi phones. He has slowly started to work upon it along with other requests(which seemed legit to him) from users. Great dev amd a high scope in the market for this app.

yes indeed, great dev, quick responses to almost everything. Been about to make the German translation but have been half an hour too late lol.
It's good to see that this highly sophisticated stuff runs almost smooth on our GPU-less Willy. There might be players that are a even more lightweight but compared to the players I've used this is on top of the list (already with a gap to the following ones although an early beta).
For sure if I used my phone as my audio player! I would be using this.

Is there a SafeStrap like app that works with this phone? I am coming from a BIONIC and that was really nice to have.
Is there a vanilla android rom or is it all stock modified?
Lastly are there any known issues i should be aware of?
Thanks guys.

1)There is a DNA version of CWM and TWRP
2)not at this time

Do you have any experience with them on the DNA? I tried using some on a phone before and it totally screwed up the phone even tho it was in the supported list.
Thanks all for the replies. So it looks like this is a pretty rock solid phone besides the audio sync issues then, or have those been resolved as well.

I had the Droid Razr and used safestrap, actually just found it in a backup folder on my laptop, anyway no "safestrap" for the DNA but yes on recovery just like safestrap. I have used both. The DNA is still a WIN phone if you can root or not. MY Razr was great and I love the DNA, no SDcard was a bummer, 16GBs is fine with me tho.
#1 thing you want to look for is the 1.15 under settings/about/software information 3rd line from the top, if you're lucky it'll say 1.15..xxxxxx if it says 2.04.605.2 710RD we are currently waiting for DEVs to figure out if they can unlock the bootloader. Now if you can buy a DNA with 1.15 you can unlock and root that on that version or unlock that version, keep the unlock.bin file then upgrade to 2.04 then unlock with that unlock.bin from 1.15 and finally root and do what you like.
If you go to Verizon to buy the phone just don't let them update it. Tell them you heard its buggy and you'll wait for the next one or what ever, tell them you won't buy it if it's updated, just don't let them update it.
Hope this helps. Its a good phone regardless.
Please! Please!
See this thread before buying a DNA or you will be VERY upset. Especially if you are paying retail!

That's an informative thread tusctwo, but rooting aside it's still a kickass phone. These guys will get it. Anything is crackable. I bought the DNA before I new it could be rooted and was very happy with it. Rooting was just a bonus to let me do alil more with the phone. It is not the end of the world if one cannot root, plus there is always sending it away to be JTAGGED=rooted and S-off, it's a win win situation either way.
Thanks for the info guys. Ill definitely check the version before i buy.
Didnt realize this does not have an SD card, that may be a deal breaker for me. (I need some place to store all my midget porn! :laugh
In all serious ill have to think about the no SD thing.
Also the HTC overlay is a huge turn off for me. Why do they have to make that thing so draining? Ughh. I had a friend with an HTC phone and it was night and day difference when we loaded a vanilla rom on there. Same with my HTC tablet. The Sense UI is cool looking but geez the amount of resources it sucks up is crazy.
So is the Internal storage partitioned like the BIONIC? 8 GB for os and then the other 8 for whatever?
I am coming from a BIONIC and this is the only phone that it makes sense to even consider upgrading to right now. The rest are pretty much the same specs. Dual core 1gb ram. The 2gb ram is huge for me. I hate having barely 100 mb free all the time.
After a complete, initial first boot, setting up, etc, you will have just over 11 gb to use as you please.

You'll have 11 gigs of space.
And sense isn't a huge hog, and hasn't been for over a year now. It doesn't stutter and I usually have 500 mb to a gig of free ram.

I came from a Thunderbolt which had the old Sense on it and the new Sense 4+ is a ton better in comparison. I use apex as my launcher so my home screen isn't dependent upon the limitations of any manufacturer launcher... but the HTC apps (phone, contacts, and especially mail) are all way better than stock android IMO. And I really like the Sense lock screen which has great quick launch apps.
Just my opinion and all, but if you're using the old Sense as a foundation for opinion then I would suggest checking out the new version.
Also I'd like to point out the camera on this thing... it's phenomenal. I love the ability to take full res photos while recording 1080p video.
One more point... if space is an issue I would suggest using the free SyncMe app in the play store to copy your pics and video into a folder on your PC wirelessly and on a schedule (mine runs at 4am when I'm sleeping)... then you can take them off of the phone and still have them saved. If you sync it with your Google Drive folder then all of the pics and video will still be available on your phone as well.
I hope this helps a little.
My advice.. the DNA is not worth it at this point. It is not going to have official Sense 5 support.. and it's already locked down pretty bad at the moment. Also, you are not wrong about Sense 4+ on this device. it lags and stutters at times.. I swear to god the app switching is even slower than double-clicking the home button and switching apps on the iphone!...The quad-core is probably good only if you are running quadrant scores periodically to feel happy about a "powerful" phone.. but otherwise for everyday usage.. the phone is simply not up to snuff for that kinda hype and money.
You are better off buying a Motorola Razr HD (even though it's got a ****ty camera compared to dna). ..

Who says it won't get official sense 5, it most likely will.
I have no clue how you can make this phone stutter.
And for app switching, that's why you root your phone. The sense 5 one is amazing.

I hope so.. but this I can guarantee.. by the time sense 5 comes to droid dna (IF at all it comes).. this phone will be seriously outdated and old.
Actually lately Verizon has been pushing out a lot of updates and this is their current flagship so I can't see why it wouldn't get sense 5.

After Sammy announced the S4 is coming out with the "vanilla" experience, the rumor mill started going crazy expecting htc to do the same, specially after one of their execs teweeted "wait".
Those rumors where quickly scuashed when another high up in the company tweeted that no htc was not planing a "vanilla" edition... However now the same guy (geek.com) that leaked that sammy was coming out with their has said that indeed htc is coming out with one as well.
So what do you guys think? And the big question would be, if they do come out with it, would we (T-mobile) guys be able to port it over and get OTA's directly from Google?

Exactly what I came to this forum for. If they do release it, can I port it over to my T-Mobile HTC One.
Since the only device announced at I/O was the S4 vanilla edition, I decided waiting around for a Nexus wasn't worthy it. I have the Galaxy Nexus, but I never liked the plastic feel of it and the S4 feels the same way, just with way better specs.
I've always liked HTC devices going back to the Windows Mobile days.

Yeah, I worry about Google's direction to slap AOSP on pre-existing devices (S4/One so far). Sure they don't need to design, engineer and product their own phone (Nexus 4) so from an infrastructure standpoint it makes sense. But once you start porting AOSP to multiple models, it will inevitably slow software releases because Google will have to ensure compatibility with varying hardware. Also, features will be missing that will make people upset (custom camera software, beats, multi-screen, etc).
Sure they will run pure AOSP, but at what cost (feature-wise)? That has me concerned.
Unless HTC/Sammy/Moto? release their highly configured software apps (camera, etc) independently, the AOSP experience on these currently produced devices will leave a lot to be desired, IMO.

Then don't buy one. More options are always better. IMO
I miss AOSP, but for once I feel there's features on the Sense ROM I don't want to give up. I think they did a really good job and for once I'm not pulling my hair out and needing to root the phone. (That's saying something!)

Same goes for me. I could live without the gallery (although nice), beats (there are plenty of EQ apps out there), blink feed, and many others. the one piece i could not go without is the camera software! Sequence shot alone is stellar, and some of the other zoe features are great as well.
That said i am keeping my fingers crossed that the fine devs here will be able to port the camera software to the stock rom when it hits. If that happens this phone would be absolutely perfect in my eyes!

Yes, especially since the announcement did not say it would have TMO radios. I think this is basically an ATT device, similar to the 32 Gb unlocked version.

Zoe isn't on by default.
However, I found some pretty good uses for it. It's better than using the "action" shot setting. It's literally like taking freeze frames from high definition video. I've finally been able to get decent pictures of my dog. It's hard to get her to stand still.
The camera was the main reason that I stayed on stock but the aokp camera is actually really good

Trusted HTC leaker/developed LlabTooFer said that the Jewel was going to get 4.2.2 and Sense 5 a few months back.
The only phone in the HTC One X generation not getting Sense 5, 4.2.2 was the HTC One S, which was already confirmed by HTC.

I was hoping it would make it easier to port 4.2.2 but I thought the kernel would still be some kind of issue.
Hopefully this brings Sense development back to life for the Evo LTE. I'm not impressed with the One tbh, and never liked Touchwiz. Sprint also still doesn't have 4G of any kind in my area. Verizon might be my next jump.

To port AOSP? The only thing that would change is that they would update the blobs. And that's about it.

No I meant sense 5 4.2.2. Not sure why they are keeping us at 4.2. Aosp is great, but it lacks a few simple features I use often. Plus the sense keyboard is so much better than Google's

Well, that's encouraging, at least. I'm on the Sense 5 port right now and absolutely love it. I don't use BT so really the only thing that would be handy if it was fixed would be issue with the Instagram accessing my camera.

Basically all third party apps can't access the camera for some reason on this ROM.... (Vine, Snapchat, Instagram)
I forced myself to go back to MeanBean just for Fouth of July so I can video the fireworks. After I was done, I flashed Sense 5 right away lol.
The last time I tried the Sense 5 port, it was fun. But as you all are saying, I use my social media apps a lot, especially Instagram as I am a photographer. So I had to go back to Viper.
I played with AOSP and loved the multiple users feature. I could manage all of my social media accounts from my phone, but the fact that there's no animated .gif support in stock android killed me, as I use those a lot also. Hoping that this update answers both of my problems.
