Good morning from Hong Kong to everyone.
I would like to share that the OLDEST = world first official tablet = GT-P1000 has gotton 4.4.2 kitkat on 12th Dec 2013 and is stably running on the newest ART runtime not old dalvik.

[Q] Android 4.3 (What about 5.0?)

Hey guys,
Since the new Nexus 7 has been released and the announcement of Android 4.3, I was wondering what you all think about the Nexus 5 and more importantly what version of Android it will. Obviously, since I intend to purchase the next Nexus phone, I want it to have 5.0. However, in my mind, it seems unlikely that Google would released an update to Android (granted a minor one) that would quickly be out done within 3 months. The only reason I could fathom was that it would only make sense for Google to sell the Nexus 7 (2013 edition) if it came with a new version of Android. Here's my question: Do you guys think we will see Android 5.0 be released alongside the Nexus 5 in October? or is Android 4.3 going to be the version shipping with the next Nexus flagship?
Thanks for responding,
JCarrot

[Q] Galaxy Nexus ROM Performance is garbage

Hey guys, long time lurker. The reason I bought a Galaxy Nexus with Verizon service, is that I knew it to be rootable, a device that I could take full control of, and the regional service here in Denver is reputably fantastic.
Any ROM I've tried results in absolute garbage connections to the towers here. If I'm at home I'm lucky to keep an entire phone call and always lose portions of conversations (What? Sorry my phone cut out just then).
When I factory reset the phone to Verizon's public garbage edition, it instantly hits max bars and stays rock solid!
I'm on my fourth ROM now so I'll post the information about it. The last one I picked up before paranoidandroid I grabbed a "Radios" zip that supposedly had connections tweaks but it didn't help one bit.
This is driving me nuts.

Android 5.0 Lollipop

This maybe premature but do any of our beloved developers think we'll see a port or carryover of CM of Android 5.0 after its release? Obviously it's gonna take some time.
Release date of November 3, 2014

I would hope not to soon because Mr. Flyhalf has done such a wonderful job on the one max like fm radio and wifi I would think a lot of stuff would break under 5.0 Google has done masive changes in 5.0 :laugh:

ROM Updates?

I'm new to this and don't know the proper forum to ask about updates. Google seems to be releasing monthly software updates to address software vulnerabilities. (This is a GOOD thing.) They, of course, release only for Nexus devices.
With my Verizon Android phone, I understand (and am unhappy) that there are precious few updates, unless of course they in some way benefit Verizon. The phone remains on 4.4 a full year after Lollipop came out, and there are vulnerabilities over a year old that are not being fixed.
Frustrated that my Galaxy Tab 10.1 languished on Honeycomb, I rooted and installed the AOSP ROM by decatf. Except for the Amazon Kindle App and some video weirdness, all the apps I use seem happy. My question is, "is it correct to assume that the ONLY way my tablet will get security updates is if decatf decides to recompile his custom ROM and make it available?" (That seems unlikely, unless he personally owns and uses one of these old Galaxy Tabs.)
I am thrilled to have new life in my old Tab, and happy decatf is so generous with his time and effort. In addition, a case can be made that my Tab on this 5.1.1 ROM is more up to date (and secure) than more modern tablets which are not being updated by their manufacturers. In other words, buying a new Android tablet may be less secure than this one where the ROM was built from 5.1.1 in Nov of 2015.
Do I understand the situation correctly?

For me it seems so as well.
My wife got from our internet phone carrier last year (thankfully with no cost) a LG Homeboy tablet (LG-V507L) that is stuck with android 4.2.2.
Thanks to decatf, our old Galaxy tab 10.1 (a korean tablet converted to the international model) has seen new life since christmas '2015, even with AOSP 6. So, really, buying a new tablet today is out of question for us.

I know marshmallow just arrived, but I have a question about N.

Hey guys. I'm coming from a Nexus 6p. I wanted a small phone and this looks like it. I know the z5c won't be getting n for a while officially, but based on your guys experience, will there be a decent stock ROM available around the time of Android N's release? Was this the case when Google released marshmallow?
Thanks guys.
HTC is usually one of the first to announce support of the latest Android release once a new one is formally available. They strive for 90 days historically, but delays come in for carrier based versions of their phones.
Sony seems to typically fall into a 4-6 month window after major Android versions are released, so early spring 2017 is when I'd guess N will show up on our Z5C's.
