Good comparison. There's a minor change in the software version. You're right. It's most likely just a bug and/or security fix.

I don't know what it did, but it's way more responsive.

CALL FOR 3G Devices Owners
I am still in need of a users with these devices :
Venue 7 3G jb 4.3v1.25
Venue 8 3G jb 4.3v1.23
please if you know of anyone that has them contact me with the ota updates back online i fear that 3G users might miss their shot at root with out capturing the images off the jb4.3 build i wont be able to create root kits i have captured the ota updsates for these two versions above but with out the images i cant create a rootKIT for them so please if your part of other venue forums please spread the word and get these users in touch with me before its too late.

Finally got the update from 4.2 to 4.4.2
Was unable to get OTA since they stopped it. They must have fixed the bricking and bugs and resume ota.

Has the update fixed any bugs? I still have black boxes in webview. Usually followed by the screen going wacky forcing me to long press power to restart.

Really?! The AOSP and in-app browsers don't fill up with black boxes and then crash for you?
Makes me wonder whether I just need to backup to jelly bean and try updating again.

I got it too. Looks like a new kernel.

New Update
I got it apparently overnight and was notified that a new update had arrived but since it was already downloaded I don't know how big it was. I had to reboot to install it and after it restarted it went through the updating apps process and I noticed that it only updated 78 apps. I've only had it for about a month or so but when I first got it I got the OTA update to 4.4.2 and when that installed it updated more than 140 apps.
The only noticeable change I have found is that it installed a new kernel dated June 24 and the software version also showsb the June 24 date. The only other change that I have noticed for certain is that the email app disappeared. I noticed that right away because I have three email accounts other than gmail which I was reading through that app.

Doing a few last things before I let this out into the wild. Until then I'm making the first post pretty.
Version 0.1 released!
Good to see some more chefs appearing after most of the old ones went over to nand. So, what distinguishes your build, specifically from Copenhagen's?

Data is working 95% flawlessly on PPP.
APN properly set for T-Mo
DNS info properly set for T-Mo and it's apps
used different firmware in a couple instances
NO ROBO VOICE CRAP
A few other small things, fully up to 1/24 CM7 is another point.
Overall this works better for me than copen's original did.
Why is the file extension .exe?
Uh, why is this an EXE?
Nevermind .exe, its just a 7-zip auto-extractor.

Ok how do I instal this I'm a noob with HD 2
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
install and boot from magldr
i want to now how you install and boot from magldr im not really getting it
downloading now.. cant wait to try this bad boy
downloaded. starting up now. will post with any errors.
This is one of the fastest Android systems I've used. It scores 1670 on Quadrant. Ive had tested others which score higher (into the 2k range), but this one just seems sooo much quicker. Only thing I've found that I don't like is that some apps dont fill the screen(the slidelock screen, pandora, speed test). I am not used to such a small dpi and having a case on the phone makes it hard to drag down the notification bar, but that may be from my sausage fingers. Also, I cant seem to be able to pin an app shortcut onto the desktop with a long press. Doesnt seem to be an option for it like other roms I've tried. But so far I am liking it, but it will take some time to get used to.
Edit: I figured out how to drop an app on the desktop. Silly me. Longpress on the app from the menu and simply drop it onto the homescreen. So much easier!!!!!!!!!!
Will give it a spin
Alright glad to see some gb hitting the threads especially on sd --I am running cope's now will give this one a try downloading now its late will work on it tomorrow Thanks for the work
I have installed on my EU HD2 but how to make mobile data working?
Tnx for the build!
Just been playing around a bit on the latest. Incorporated copenhagens fix for su....but I'm gonna give things another go around seeing about getting it perfect....kinda a workaround at the moment.
T-Mobile US users will likely be the only ones capable of using my builds as stated before. Data is working flawlessly in this build.
Tomorrows update will include at least the such fix, Facebook added back in, possible progress towards kineto , and who knows what else.....

Hello,
westerday J install cyanogen mod7 2.3.1 (but bug sms), this morning install this ROM but data not working. SFR in french. Why?
Thankyou.

Google Now

Is our Phone Armv6 or Armv7
pretty sure Armv7
http://www.mediafire.com/?hsos53699wq2ttm
that's the google now I flashed. It's not perfect but it was the best one I could find.
You're probably looking at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1747224
That's where I got it from.
I wish I could get a fully functional version. It's almost perfect, but it's not the updated version, and if you try to exit with the ''back'' button it wont work, only if you hit ''home''
but all the commands and voice functionality work.
Does anybody else have 2 options for Google voice typing under the input method selection screen after installing Google Now? I'm not sure if I did something incorrectly during install or if it should be expected.

You'll get two options and they are both functional. If you click them you can test them both.
You can also freeze one or the other of you have titanium backup or something similar.

I've been working around it without a problem, I just didn't know if it was an error on my part
how many of you are running this? if you are running it do you have cards working?
i've had it and like it (the search part works, i can't add cards)... although it appears a bunch of functions don't work. it appears the easiest solution is for us to wait for JB to come out?
Google now with cards is working nicely on the cm10 preview in the development section. It wasn't working the same way when I was on viper with this version
Sent from my Incredible 4G LTE using Tapatalk 2
Use the app for a while. I felt like I didn't have any cards pop up for a while. Give it a chance to collect data and you'll notice a difference. I've been using it for several months now and it gives me traffic to work smh home, recent places I've shown interest in, train arrival times for the subway and railroad stations I'm near, weather conditions as well as heads up notifications letting me know when I need to leave my current location to make a calendar appointment on time. It really is awesome, but you'll have to give it a bit of time.
This version also has a lot of glitches, like you can't hit "back" out of the app or it will freeze until you do a refresh.
The developers only went so far as to develop for ICS, and then stopped so not everything functions correctly. Just install Cyanogen now that we have it, it works great!
just today it popped up a card for driving directions home and traffic! kinda cool... had the locations wrong so i corrected them. i'll see how it starts behaving - nice to see it's starting to figure some stuff out. it does give me cards for calendar events...
i keep watching the cyanogen thread... i've never run that rom before. i may try it for fun some time although i'm really happy with the viper rom.
I love the cm10 rom. Been running it since the day it was previewed. Google now works great on it. After it learns your behaviors the cards come up all the time for me. It even gives me driving eta to home and work in the notification bar when I start my trips without even opening the search app.

Yeah, since Preview 3 it has been very stable
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
I haven't tried yet but I'm willing to have a go Tomorrow. Preview 3 is indeed stable, but some apps don't function and sometimes lags with other apps (yes chrome, you). It's a preview so it's expected, hopefully other apps will be fully compatible by the time preview 5 / first release.

DP3 was decent, had a BT issue so went back to stock. DP4 seems good so far, hopefully this is a functionally solid build. I love the notifications and status bar quick setting changes in N.
Wow.
Always yummy to have another N Preview!
Recent Apps keeps showing old searches I did on Google. I have to keep clearing them all the time. Does anyone have the same problem?
I experience quite some lag when tapping the home button. Around 5 seconds before my home screen shows. This was not the case on preview 3.
Edit: Problem seems to be caused by Apex Launcher.

Well, for those who don't know, they did reopen it. I'm surprised that so many people reverted. The biggest hit was certainly battery life, but I can live without Doze for a few weeks...but I can't wait to have it back!!

I am on the latest nougat beta and it does indeed work with the gear vr as well as the cardboard apps you would use with daydream(thru gear VR disabler). Daydream isn't even compatible with this phone. It requires 7.1.1 the current beta is 7.0. Heavy rumors on tech blogs say Samsung is going to jump straight to 7.1.1 for final release of nougat, though, whenever that may be.

The Moto z works with daydream through its 7.0 update so I really can't understand why we can't have daydream support. I read on a Samsung beta forum that we won't get support because we don't have the necessary hardware...I asked which hardware is that but received no answers.
Just updated to the 5th beta, and I noticed that the longpress of the recdnts button no longer actives multiwindow.

Does 9.1 give the Honor 8x "Double tap (screen) to wake"? It's the only feature I was waiting for and a friend just got 9.1 on his Honor Play and it doesn't have it, so I'm figuring the Honor 8x update to 9.1 won't either....
