This week we begin in Current ROM arrival of the factory image for the Nexus 7 by Google , including the cabinet files for Qualcomm. Specifically, the package includes the binary files for Qualcomm processor, audio drivers and sensors ASUS, the NFC manufactured by Broadcom and everything related to the graph of the device.
id=”more-192164″/>This news represents a real breath of fresh air for developers of Nexus 7, which of course have already been put to work cooking their future and custom ROMS and even promising work in developing optimized applications for this device unique. What factory this allows, of course, part of their development, is to return to the original factory state without any problem, which guarantees the assurance terminal functionality. After all this freedom has been a whole movement behind battle and, as legal problems Google has had with Qualcomm after six months of negotiations, in what is rumored to be due to a chipset license American manufacturer. We leave you with the factory image and the binary drivers Nexus 7 available for download.
We continue with the outstanding
Nexus 7 . Not all that glitters is gold with the last device on Google, which is still a major player lately. After the dismal failure of its first drop test, and the price is not spoiled after a change consequent currency ($ 1 = 1 €), reported problems now with GPS signal , which does not work quite right. The first to get this device in the U.S. are reporting that their GPS signal normal operation after 15-30 minutes, the GPS signal fails to update the position, with the indication of “searching satellite” indefinitely without actually finish the action. This bug occurs even after restarting the terminal, which is clearly a nuisance to users of the terminal, it came to return the device to replace it, found it again with the same problem. This bug has already been reported to Google and ASUS (makers of the sensors), it is still not known to this problem is because what all is expected to be corrected by a software patch to fix the damn problem and once. Google Will it act fast before the anger of the users? We’ll see how it evolves quickly correcting this mistake.
We turn now to another story that is entirely related to Qualcomm and of course with the Nexus 7. Jean-Baptiste Queru (JBQ) has resigned his post as head of Android Open Source Project , better known as AOSP. The reason? Qualcomm and its refusal to release the drivers of the new Nexus 7 and according JBQ, Google has not done enough pressure for this to not happen. Quoting verbatim JBQ well expressed in his Google+ account: “It’s amazing that a Nexus not 100% free, since it is the essence of them” . JBQ himself gave notice in February, when he began the design of the Nexus 7. Recall that JBQ has a great reputation in the world of open source development and in what the community has deposited the hope that to reverse and back to work in its rightful place.
We turn now to another novelty of this week comes on the heels of HTC. Respectively the news has to do with the HTC One X +, which has already begun the process of upgrading to version 4.2.2 Jelly Bean Android, starting with Taiwan to start the process and what is expected not too late to reach our borders. This will update known as performance and security enhancements, in what has been added a new interface Sense 5, which will be more substantial improvement for this device. However, if you have the phone rooteado and a custom recovery and may prefer to install this update that is only suitable for international versions of the device with the CID HTC__621 and is now available in the XDA forums. Anyway, the full version will not take too long to reach development forums and not thought that the official version too late to reach our devices.
jump now to a utility that will surprise you. This week has brought to light the application called Android Device Manager . Google announced almost two weeks ago, this application has a terminal locator service made available by the Mountain View, with ability to delete the contents of the device remotely in a similar way to what we offer other applications as Cerberus, as we saw in this tutorial AndroidAyuda. We can control one of our devices and see its location on the map, and even make it sound but is silent on the website of Android device manager, accessible from android.com / DeviceManager or in the gear that appears in the Play Google Store. For the tool to work you must enable location options and restore device remotely from Google settings of our device and in the device management settings. We hope that many users will benefit from this very useful in the situation of theft of your mobile phone.
jump now very curious functionality. You’ve probably heard of the Motorola Moto X, and then you should have heard that one of its most striking features is the ability to use the device using voice commands when the phone is in idle status, functionality which may be useful in many cases. Well, as the Moto X still does not deign to hit the market, there is an application on your device can produce a similar experience. Actually there will be differences between the two but surely catch your attention. Just install and activate the application, this puts the microphone on listening and waiting for instructions. The application currently has some flaws and of course to not come standard with the hardware, on the microphone will produce battery drain on your device. The application is called Open Mic + for Google Now and is available for free on the PlayStation Store.
To end this week with the ROM Update’ll leave you with another functionality that will leave your device much like the future Motorola Moto X. This application is called Active Notification and is available in the PlayStation Store and lets you simulate notification listener function. We need a device with AMOLED screen and Android version 4.3. for maximum compatibility with Moto X, and thanks to the activation of pixels individually enable battery saving compared to an LCD. The function of the application is very interesting, has a smart notification system that prevents such notification light to take our phone in the pocket and prevent unlocking assigned by default and even display information directly on the lock screen without having to unlock the device. The application has created niko001, a member of XDA. If you want to know more about the application or have any questions about it leave you with the link to the support forum.
