For those of you sitting on CM 10.1 (4.2.2) and waiting for CM 10.2 (4.3) to be official…  Your wait is over as of today. Not to say there aren’t bugs, keep in mind these are nightlies. You should expect some bugs and to flash at your own risk. It’s looking to be more of a daily driver than the unofficial CM 10.2 release by sbrissen.

I’ve read reports of people dirty flashing this with out having a hitch. My advice?  Do a full wipe and start with a clean slate. Dirty flashing from nightly to nightly is a different story, but going from one Android version to the next is a whole new ball game. Get them baby wipes out and get nice and clean. You can always use Titanium Backup or other back up services to get your apps and data back, if that’s your thing (I don’t recommend them either).

There it is folks!  XDA Recognized developer sbrissen is working his magic on the next version of Android for CyanogenMod.

If you’re waiting for CM 10.2 to be a tad bit more stable, CM 10.1 will hold you over just fine. As most of you know, there’s not a huge difference between 4.2.2 and 4.3, but it’s always fun to have the latest and greatest on our devices.

Motorola’s Made in the USA Moto X Specs

The American built Moto X is official and we have a complete list of specs for this beauty.

In a nut shell we’re dealing with a 4.7 inch RGB AMOLED 720p display, running Android version 4.2.2 out of the box, 10 megapixel camera (ClearPixel) and powered by Motorola’s unique “X8″ processors.  So these may not be specs that absolutely floor you, but we can tell you for sure, these are nothing to sneeze at.

Take a look at the whole spread of specs down below

XDA contributor, Civato, has uploaded his version of Android version 4.2.2 for the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 (GT-N5110).  Here are some notes and descriptions from the developer, Civato, himself.

Note:
This rom is based on the Samsung 4.2.2 for the GT-N5110: JDQ39.N5110XXCMG2.
Take it as it is and don’t complain as this is free.
No requests.

This is a whole different firmware as 4.1.2 so some things I need to figure out to add like 4 way reboot.
Custom kernel (CivZ-StormBorn) will not work on this until Samsung releases new source.

Rom Features
Aroma installer
Stock kernel with init.d support and exFat support
Init.d Tweaks
Root SuperSU 1.41
BusyBox 1.21.0
Deodexed/zipaligned
New installed apps will be zipaligned on every reboot
SytemUI & Settings modded ( kb/s mod , Softkey modded)
12 different battery % mods (Go to settings/display/Battery Style) No reboot needed.
ViperFX support
CSC features unlocked like camera sound
custom bootanimation support
Soft touch key terminal command with miniapps feature
HardwareKey disable with terminal command
For NTFS use Stickmount

If you’re looking to get 4.2.2 on that Galaxy Note 8.0 and don’t have the patience to wait for Samsung, I suggest you take Civato’s 4.2.2 ROM for a spin. Remember to make a back up and do a lot of reading if you’re new to this stuff.

The post First Android version 4.2.2 flashable ROM for the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 is live appeared first on Android Fan Network.

I’m going to be perfectly honest with you. I’ve owned the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 since April (I think the release date) and rooted it the second I got home with the Framaroot one click root app, skipped the past OTA updates and never put a custom recovery on this bad boy, because it is that much of a kick ass device out of the box with Android version 4.1.2.

That is until today when Civato, recognized contributor at XDA, posted he’ll have a flashable zip for the 4.2.2 leak for the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0.  Now Civato claims in his OP of his threads that he’s not a developer and only does this Android stuff as a hobby, fun and to share his setup with other users. I beg to differ with you Civato. You’re a hell of a developer!  I’ve been using your work since the Acer A500 and in my opinion you’re more than a contributor. He has quite the body of work over at XDA. Edit- Civato no longer puts that in his OP’s

Anyhoo…  Civato should have a flashable zip for the 4.2.2 leak sometime today that should work nicely for a base for other developers or a stock Android version 4.2.2 ROM experience for crack flashers.  As soon as he posts the ROM, we’ll post the link.

For those of you new to this rooting and flashing game, be sure to read, read and READ some more before you dive in. These are expensive toys we’re tinkering with.

I’m bringing this article to an end to find a way to get a custom recovery on my Precious. Stay tuned for a full review and “how to” for this ROM.

Screen shot from a GSM user getting a great data signal

XDA’s Recognized developer JoelZ9614 is at it again!  Keeping an older device (in Android Years) up to date.

If you ask me, which I know you are because I know everything, just ask my wife. The HTC Droid DNA will get the Sense 5 and Android version 4.2.2 update.  When will that be?  Who the hell knows with Verizon (guess I don’t know everything)!?  Them crafty little devils over at XDA won’t let Verizon stand in their way. They rarely do.

I’ve been keeping an eye on this port for the past couple days and this is what I know about it in a nutshell.  For now, this ROM will not work for Verizon (CDMA) users, but reception and data are working for GSM users.  Some GSM users that flashed the ROM have said they have absolutely zero issues with the ROM and claim it to be a daily driver, while others are saying they’re getting the occasional reboot and other minor bugs. If I were on GSM, I’d be all over this ROM! 

Screen shot from a GSM user getting a great data signal

My Droid DNA is currently running XDA Recognized Developer newtorrot’s HTC One rom port with Sense 5 and Android version 4.1.2 (quick glimpse can be found here)  for the past few weeks and I haven’t had a single bug or issue with it yet.  Ports can be daily drivers.

So, if you like tinkering and keeping the latest versions of Android and Sense, I’d head on over to XDA and get your flash on. If tinkering under the hood of your phone isn’t your thing, like I said, Sense 5 and 4.2.2 will make it to your Precious.  The HTC Butterfly (The Droid DNA’s twin brother) has gotten an update, but then again the Butterfly isn’t affiliated with Big Red.

JoelZ9614′s Xda thread with more info.

BTW. I’m not sure if JoelZ9614 is pulling our leg, but he claims to be 16. I was flashing this guys Roms back in the HTC Evo 3D days. That was 2 years ago and if my math is correct…. that would have made him 14 years old cranking out Roms for the 3D.

UPDATE!

Here is JoelZ9614 latest post in his Droid DNA thread –

“here we go =) seems to be no reboots removed perflock and htcpnpmgr thanks to zarboz’s suggestion, also running row io scheduler, now ill work on vzw”

Not sure if that means now “it will” work on Verizon or now “I will” work on Verizon. Keep an eye on this guy’s (or kid’s) thread because he is an absolute maniac when it comes to knowing his way around Android and creating masterpieces.

Thanks for everything JoelZ9614!

FolderMount  is a Android Application released XDA senior member madmack available for all rooted Android Devices ( Support for Android 2.3 – 4.2.2 ) . As mentioned in the post title this application links folders from internal SD to external SD to free space.

But why you need to install FolderMount ?  See below note developer at XDA

“Today some apps store big files over the internal SD card (e.g. Games, Podcasts, Offline RSS feeds, Pictures, Offline navigation software). Typically users have a small internal sd card size (~16GB) while the external SD is a lot bigger (~32-64GB). Most of these apps don’t have an option to use the external SD card to store data so they starve your internal SD card memory. I’m bringing this solution to fix this issue. In my case, I use this app to mount offline navigation software and some Game Loft games (NFS anyone?).”

There are two versions of this application available. free and premium. Users who buy premium key will have more features like Unlimited folder pairs (free version has a limit of 3) and several others.

This is a great application serving the need for more storage on devices with small internal SD size ( ~ 4-8 GB ).  Check more about the features, screenshots on how to link the folders , change log and download link here at XDA.
