yea google has never went up against them as far as i know.

Google should pull out their patent for the notification bar, i saw on the verge comments at least.

 

So whats the over under of Jellybean coming to my device.

 

Shouldn't affect any devices out there. This injunction is against Samsung's Galaxy Nexus not against Google. All devices out there will get support and future updates regardless of what happens as the law isn't retroactive. This injunction, if it becomes permanent, will only affect the US because our patent system is a joke as companies take advantage of it to slow down competition. All the retailers, both online and B&M, can sell whatever stock they have left just like how it was in Germany when Apple got the Tab 10.1 banned for being a rectangle like the iPad. They can't, however, replenish their stock after they're out of the Nexus.

Also, its not yet in effect as Apple still needs to pay a $96 million bond just in case the whole thing doesn't work out which at the earliest is 7AM of Monday. (Pocket change to Apple, yes). There does seem to be a small silver lining from what I was reading in that because Apple's patent is so broad (as it usually is) it can come down to a matter of semantics if their lawyer is good enough. The argument had something to do with Apple's "heuristics" vs. predefined text to give results. Either way, the patent shouldn't have been given in the first place considering how broad it is.

I know I've said this many times but I hope the patent system gets changed. Its actually kinda nice to hear how a lot of Apple "fanboys" actually see how silly this thing is. A lot of devs are pretty pissed about the situation both Apple and Google devs. The EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) has put up a webpage to petition to have the patent system changed. Not sure how much it'll have an effect but the internet has done some amazing things before:

Instead of creating new products to compete, Apple is trying to cripple other companies out of oblivion. Its really saddening because they're slowing down progress in the tech world.

 

Droid RAZR and RAZR MAXX Ice Cream Sandwich Update is out:

Just check for that system update.

 

i know not relevant since GN injunction is for patents but still... apples statement released was not for patents

 

 

NS now has 4.1 working but audio will not work.

uh, isn't that what competition is all about? Not necessarily copying but attracting consumer interest?

If this was the case there would be a ton more lawsuits in the automotive industry between manufacturers.

being a direct competitor to another product is nothing to sue over, or target specifically the Galaxy Nexus phone. (which technically to this day does not have an enhanced search..it's merely google actions that has existed well before Siri). And even then, why go against Samsung when they're just a hardware maker? They surely didnt program the new search feature.

Makes me love my Gnex even more. Apple has a better case against the just announced Nexus 7.

 

lol what if some manufacturer had a patent for the steering wheel and started suing everyone that copied them

 

So apparently Google Now has an Easter Egg as well:

https://plus.google.com/u/0/11151658...ts/RuSPwPfVLfH

Lol. The whole app rolls.

 

link no work!

 

Acurazine is eating the links to G+. The whole app just does a barrel roll. Tried the other stuff like let it snow and tilt. Tilt works but only the search results tilt. Let it snow doesn't work.

 

Android 4.0 finally on 10 percent of devices, 8.5 months in

^Exactly the reason to buy a Nexus. What the blogs fail to mention is that ICS was such a big transition in frameworks and code which is the reason for the slow uptake. Even CyanogenMod took a while to merge all the new code and they're usually pretty quick about these things. Jelly Bean doesn't seem to be that big of a leap from ICS, code wise, so it shouldn't take as long of a process if the companies have ICS down but I guess we'll find out once the source drops in a few weeks.

 

Hmm...Is it just me or are the CM9 Nightly builds getting better and better? Just updated my Galaxy S to the CM9 7/23 Nightly and it feels a lot smoother than the previous builds. Its still not Jelly Bean like in smoothness but it feels noticeably different in a good way.

 

 

Great demo of Google Now:


I really wish we can start toggling WiFi, Bluetooth, Brightness and all the other things soon. Maybe that'll come in Key Lime Pie.

 

Holy crap, maybe I've been living under a rock, but did you guys know theres an Azine app??

https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...29tZm9ydW1zIl0

Theres no affiliation, but its still pretty nice to have an actual mobile version.

 

good find Morgi

 

omg theres and android app now!! wtf! There should have been an announcement where that national meet one and store announcement usually is!!

As for cm9 mines been a ltl buggy after i downloaded the june 30th i believe. I may need to do a full wipe and try out one of their newer ones. Or if i just flash on top would that take out whatever was causing the lag?

 

Whoa!

 

On it now.

Ahh well. Went back to Chrome. lol.



This might make you guys not on Jelly Bean happy :


http://www.xda-developers.com/androi...ased-ics-roms/


Google Now on AOSP based ROMS like CM9, AOKP, etc. 2 methods, one requires a buld.prop change and the other just an install.

 

 

omg omg omg omg

really! sweeeet!! I better not be disappointed when i go to the link lol

 

okk before i wanna do this i wanna get rid of all the lag on my phone so i'm gonna do a clean wipe with a new nightly

 

you wanna know the best thing about google now is, its a platform so it gets better every day, you dont have to wait for a major update. Although things that deal with directly on the phone will change permissions and there may be an update for that. But other then controlling on phone stuff this thing will get better on its own.

Kinda like google search evolved. They dont releases updates to everyone, its just there when they update their own system.

 

so looking at the instructions i have to go into the build.prop and change something but when i do this using esfile explorer it says error changes cant be saved...

edit: i can edit it in office suite but then when it comes to saving, i save it in plain text right, but then it asks me the name to save it and its gonna be build.txt can i just change the name to build.prop and it will be the same?

 

Not sure. I usually use something like Notepad++ as it keeps the UNIX format when saving. If you have Root Explorer, you can navigate to the /system/ folder and long press and hold and edit with Text Editor. You can then save it using the built in Text Editor from Root Explorer.

Also from what I understand, voice search is not working yet. Just the cards work right now. I'm sure they'll have voice up soon though with the way the XDA guys go.

This version doesn't require a build.prop change:

For the Mac apparently TextWrangler is a good Notepad++ alternative:

Here it is on my Galaxy S i9000 running 7/23 CM9:

gn60Y.png

The Background around the Google Logo changes depending on the time of day and your location. It gave me an error about not being able to activate Location History. To fix that, just log into your Latitude account then you can log out if you like. It keeps track of where you're at every now and then to figure out where your Home, Work, etc. is at to give you the proper Cards. Voice Search errors out once you try and press it. Probably missing a lib file. They're close though and regular searching works to build up those cards with your favorite teams.

 

Just to add, its pretty buggy. Searching seems to work sometimes. lol. If you're gonna try it, I suggest you try it before you do a full wipe just to see how it is at its current stage. Maybe they'll get it working 100% in the next few days. Just use the no build.prop mod apk by overwriting the GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk in your /system/app/ folder and don't forget to change permissions to rw-r--r--

 

Well I got passed it by getting root explorer, but now
I can't open the File when I download it. I downloaded it through my comp and tried to install through recovery and root. But it says couldn't parse packages and then I downloaded straight from the site on my phone and it just said couldn't open file. I'm gonna try the new link maybe that has a better dl link

 

It happen again. First, my Samsung Captivate power button didn't work and now my SGS 2 power button just stop working. Yeah, so, with my SGS 2 it hasn't been a year yet. Will at&t replace the phone for free?
