I wouldn't say they tricked us, they said in an interview they were going to go with Key Lime Pie but the deal with Kit Kat kind of happened at the last minute and they thought it would be a good idea. Just don't want anyone thinking they intentionally pushed us one way or another. Either way as someone else said I have now been craving kitkats on a daily basis.

Well the ui is probably very similair.. The look drastically changes with a new Android version (e.g. 2.x 3.x 4.x) but 4.0-4.3 look similair.. So I don't expect drastic changes.. Since they gave it a new name and not just jelly bean it will have some drastic changes I think..

If I'm not wrong Google said that the new Android version would be light enough to run on devices with 512MB RAM, which people guessed would be the case of 4.3, but in the end it wasn't, so I believe 4.4 is going to be a lighter android version, which means way faster user experience on high end devices .

Yes, the reboots have drastically reduced! I have had only 2 reboots after the 4.3 upgrade (more than 30 days ago). That's completely acceptable to me.
Just wondering if the non N5 Nexus devices would be the first ones to get 4.4 (if at all they plan to roll it out that is)?
Well like always they should have a list of all model android devices that will get the update pretty soon

I used to have a terrible memory leak (5MB of RAM free after only a couple of hours! no exaggeration!) on 4.3 until I tracked down the programme responsible; Chrome!
I hated Chrome for Android already (screws up formatting on a lot of sites, reloads sites on tab switching EVERY TIME, no way to force desktop mode by default, no way to stop overview zoom), but discovering it was responsible for chewing up 80 to 90% of RAM with a memory leak multiple times a day really sealed it!
Switched to AOSP Browser and not had to reboot my N10 since! Currently at 92 hours uptime and 460MB free/cached RAM

Chrome is indeed the default browser (which is shocking on Google's part given how rubbish it is!)
You can find the AOSP browser in the Themes and Apps section of the Nexus 10 forum. here are two versions available, this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2330738 which is the easiest to install but you cannot force-enable desktop mode permanently (show stopper for me).
or this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2154938 but the "Find in page" option in the overflow menu doesn't exist in 4.3 so there will be a weird text string (just ignore it)
In both cases you must have Root in order to install

I think it is definitely too soon to say for sure the AOSP will not support the Q. Only a hand full have been released. There is also the fact that JBQ probably knows as many tech specs about the device as we do. The first step would probably to get in contact with someone on the team who built it. Keep in mind that for a long time the XOOM wasn't supported in AOSP but it is now. Let's wait a bit and see what happens.

AOSP is possible. All the Q needs is some Jellybean, which it's being updated to. It's on Android 4.0.4, but will gain Youtube, Gmail, and other GAPP's soon. The CM Dev for my phone hacked his Q, and had it running like a desktop. Chrome, and a Wireless KB/Mouse via USSB dongle. The Q is a very capable device, but what? I not really sure? As far as I see, it can be a nice PC replacement. But just basic computing. Nothing more. Internet, Facebook, Gmail, Netflix, etc.

If that is true then I can definitely see this being hooked up to TVs in living rooms for use, and then I might consider in the future getting one in the foreseeable future.
While the Q looks very sleek and sexy, $299 is a hefty price for such a basic computing device. Remember: the Raspberry Pi costs only $35 (plus SD card, Plus PSU, plus case) and it can do full 1080p playback as well.

I myself pre-ordered one (should ship in august). This will definatelly be a nice toy and I think it could be made to do all things the Nexus Q does. I paid 45,23€ for the device including a case as I have an 8GB SD Card and a Blackberry charger lying around anyways. Admittedly, compared to the Nexus Q it's not even nearly as nice looking, but it's a lot cheaper and has the possibility of doing everything the Q does, plus more.

i believe they got a launcher working on the Q and a couple of apps too like netflix so its to early. CWM is out already for it so..........
I've seen launchers and apps have been side loaded onto it and that definitely increases its appeal to me. I think one major issue is actually controlling the device but that's just a matter of a remote control app.
Also, I haven't seen anything about CWM. Care to share a link on that?

Hah thanks for the laugh xD
Anyway, I should have worded that differently: "Have you flashed a ROM that helps with the multitasking issue".
Most of them do, but if you don't want to flash a ROM some people reported that if you change the setting within developer options to 'At most 4 processes' for the background process limit it helps alleviate this issue.
This is by far my biggest problem with this phone. From what I've heard, stock ICS doesn't have the same issue.
Yeah, it pisses me off when I scroll through a list and go out of the window, ONLY to have that damn list reload back to the first item.
There HAS to be a way to get rid of that permanently if stock ICS phones don't have this problem?
Yeah, the multitasking is the only issue I have with this phone. Reminds me of the fail WP7 has with multitasking :/
Yeah a lot of the issues with this phone can only be alleviated through rooting it and flashing a custom rom. As I stated in another thread with my opinions of this phone and the pros/cons, this phone requires the user to root it in order to have a pleasurable experience.

Which is really disappointing. We shouldn't have to root in order to get things like this to work properly. If HTC is going to place a button dedicated to a specific function on their phones, you'd think that function would actually work.

No one is arguing against it, we are merely providing solutions to the problem. Furthermore, if we want to nitpick the button isn't a 'multitasking' one, it simply brings up a recent apps list. That being said I do hope HTC fixes this. It seems to affect all the Sense 4.0 phones. I know the One X has this problem by simply looking at their forum and from what I tested the One S at T-Mobile while helping my parents get a new phone, it seems that the S also has the same problem.
Rooting and flashing roms hasn't fixed my multitasking issues..I think its a deeper sense issue..I've manually adjusted min free settings with no luck..so Im assuming that its Kernel related buried deep..its my only gripe with this otherwise perfect device..and some people actually like its killing of apps..although it doesn't seem to free up any extra ram ...edit - hasn't the issue been resolved with the att hox with an ota? I thought I saw that somewhere
Yep rooted and romed. I dont want to say which one because u don't think it matters. Non of it would bother me so much if my new phone wasn't slower than my old one. Kinda sucks to have full signal but can't load a Page, stick it in my pocket it becomes a hand warmer and the battery is dead next time I use it.

The worst is when I play Sega's Sonic Adventure app or open up stumble upon and every single time I go back to the home screen, sense has to reload. I've never experienced that with my Xoom.
Are the ROMs effective at fixing the multitasking issue? That, ps3 bluetooth, and otg support would be the only major reasons I'd root my phone (maybe titanium backup too for contingency). I'm not root shy, my OG EVO was rooted two weeks after I got it, but, in the long run, everything seems more consistent when running completely stock, and I can pretty much find an app for everything I need.
Also, do you guys think that if we send in enough complaints that HTC would get its act together for the jelly bean update?

Return it, get a Gnex on Verizon. Problem solved.
I'll also have to agree that rooting and. A custom rom still don't do much to alleviate the issue. Chrome still reloads every time I come back. It's baffling because we can blame it on sense, but sense has ALWAYS been bloated, but the evos before this didn't have such an issue.

I don't find sense 4 very bloated at all actually. When sense 4 was ported over to the Sensation, it didn't have this multitasking issue, which is leading me to believe that there will be a fix soon for it.

No CM9 on the Amaze??? Thought someone said they did it over here... huh
Sent from my HTC One S running CM9
seriously I just bought my phone in november!!! I feel like my phone is like 3 years old already. I though google said they weren't going to go crazy coming out with major updates so fast. After my amaze I'm going back to a google flagship phone and staying with it!! As much as I have come to grow and love sense, I think I'll be able to get many of sense features with third party apps and many roms that will be developed for google flagship phones! I love my amaze, but I hate HTC and all other cell phone manufacturers, It took them 6 months to give us ICS, samsung wasn't that great about the update either. I think there's also a clause that forces cell phone manufacturers to provide updates to phones up to 18 months. I read that recently somewhere! so hopefully we'll see some version of jellybean on our amaze, it's not that big of a leap from ICS, but does have some very good features that I really would like to have.
We're close to getting Pure ICS AOSP or AOKP on our phones, I don't think jellybean update will be much harder. I think going from GB to ICS was a major overhaul thus taking companies, Cyanogenmod, and many devlopers months to perfect ICS. Jelly bean is not the case. It more like going from Froyo to GB.
Let's cross our fingers. I already want to throw my phone out away, and It's only been like 8 months since I got it!! This is just ridiculous.
Nope, running nightmare sense. Having the same issues as just about everybody else. I think Sportsstar has a aokp(wip). Can't be sure.

it should... its technically universal as long as your running ics. which you are. so try it out
On Energy ROM, and just installed this following the instructions in the original thread. Works great.
So I'm on stock ICS and I can't even find this in the market? What's the point of having a google phone if we can't use google software? I don't get it.
Because it is a feature of Android JellyBean modified to be used on our Ice Cream Sandwich phones...

Yeah you can have the widget or press the capacitive search key, those are taken over by Now. All searches go through Now but it is seamless and not a big deal.
They had problems working in the voice search as the JB and ICS voice APIs are different. The work around was a modification to input voice to text using ICS voice engine and inputting it into JB.

So I've been using this for about a week and the only cards it shows me is the weather. Do I have to ask for it to show me the traffic consistantly for it to work? I don't get this...lol kinda feel noobish.
do you have gps on? i find that it starts remembering similar locations and then the cards start showing up.
If not you can go into latitude and update address
I just got my beta invite to download and have been playing around with it for a while to set it up. I am not all that impressed right now, but hopeful they can bring it. Has anyone else got the beta yet? What do you think so far?
The pros:
Very pleasing to the eye
Smooth
Widgets at the forefront
Dock shortcuts change a you change screens
The cons:
App drawer is not alphabetical (actually only Play Store is first then alphabetical)
No Android widgets!
Only their wallpapers
Can't rearrange home screens
Gmail widget only shows unread emails
Weather widget is not interactive
Can't use inverse logic in context for locations, time, or wifi
No folders
That is my first impressions based on the current release. With the ICS update, I have actually really liked Touchwiz launcher (believe it or not). I'm not sure chameleon would be my launcher when competing with Touchwiz and Nova.

You have to get the email letting you know you can register if you already pre-ordered.

I just got mine. I'll try it on my tab when I get home in about an hour. Looking forward to it. Also, in case anyone's wondering, you can't use it on your website and its phone yet

Was about to pull the trigger on this one, but been reading and some people seem discontent so I might as well wait...but then again it's 10$ as a pre-order. How much do they think they can charge and get away with?? I'm no cheapskate but 10 seems a bit much for a launcher...makes me wonder how much it'll be when released?
Incompatible
I have a Glaxy tab 10.1, and have get the download link to get Chameleon Launcher, but I get the error messenge "This app is incopatible with your Samsung GT-P7500"
What can I do so i can get it?

Honestly, at this point I would wait. With no wallpapers or widgets except for theirs, I would wait to see how it turns out. I'm not even using it right now.

You need ICS or Jellybean. It's not compatible with Honeycomb.

Hm, ok. How can I fix it, can you help me?
Anyone have an idea how long it takes to get access?
Yesterday evening I paid the 10$ to get access and got this email:
Please note: Beta Verification emails will be sent out over the next few days so you can unlock the beta version of Chameleon from the play store. This verification process will pair your pre-order email to your play store email. Thanks for your support and understanding

I purchased mine Wed. night, got that email right after.....today I got my email to register......pretty plain right now but can see it to be quite assume down the road.....
its okay. i didnt like it much. The widgets are very limited. It should be native for every app. Seems slow but then again its a beta. hopefully, will see more improvements in full version.

You need to update your software. I'm guessing you're still on 3.1 because I was mistaken. It is compatible with Android 3.2 and up.

None of the current apps will work because they made a bold decision to develop on a HTML5 environment. It was though that they could get more developers to work on new Widgets if they did this. Only time will tell. They may have rushed the beta though, it really needs a few more apps for users to really test it out and find software bugs in the interface. As opposed to hardware incompatabilities.
They may have gone with the beta now because the interest was peaking and if they left it much longer the interest would start to fade.
I like the concept and it has a lot of potential, they may be pricing themselves out of the market. Their are other good launchers for significantly less. I am one of the beta users though.

if that comes true. that sux . The widgets they offered in the beta. I was only interested in only 1.
Too bad it doesn't have facebook in the beta
I love the concept though.
What I do have it that my tablet goes back to my stock launcher and I always have to restart Chameleon. How do I fix this?
Until they add more Widgets, I'm not going to be using it.

I get the feeling that he's not lying. I can't say for sure, but if I was a betting man I'd say the update can be manually initiated starting 12/13/12, and network initiated updates will start rolling out in January.

So let me get this straight, someone tries to help you out and you respond by being a male genitalia in the biggest way possible? I can see now why this phone gets little to no leaks. No sweat off my back though.
If this is true, I'll be switching back to the EVO! Using the GS3 at the moment.
If true, looks like no improvements for lte connection.

If you had the common sense to actually THINK for a moment, you'd realize how pointlessly stupid your agenda is. And you're a dev? That's pretty depressing, I hope you don't put as much disregard for the community into your work as you do into your attitude. Ever think maybe there's a reason I allegedly reworded my post?
It could be that he doesn't want to get in trouble ... either way our devs are close to having a pretty functional sense ROM for all of us to play with .. evervol and deck also have some 4.2 love coming our way.
