Who knows, Jelly Bean might be easier. Why don't you?

That's the problem with these releases. By the time you finally get one figured out the new one is available. I'm always amazed it takes soooooo long for manufacturers to release versions for their phone. I mean they have access to all the source code and whole departments of developers yet it takes them 4 months or longer?

Yeah, loving JB on my Nexus. Can't wait for all the mods and tweaks to start being incorporated. Google now will be a game changer! Also, the way it handles notifications is so much cooler now as well...

Google made some really good updates and was a perfect stepping stone to go from 4.0 to 4.1. Before they announcement I was thinking they would just say they made some uner the hood updates. They gave is much better then that!

Can't wait to see what they think of when they jump to 5.0.

Yep, even with the source it's a lot of work.

Wow. So happy I found this! So the front page says h/w decoding works, sound, and wifi works... so what isn't working? Does BT work?

I just finished updated my wife's View to HC (S-OFF) and now I see this, lol. Will probably upgrade it again as I'm really disappointed HC doesn't let you swipe to close apps from the drop down (er... drop up) menu like ICS does.

I honestly don't know how you guys do this development work without bricking your device. I know on my Epic 4G Touch it is SUPER easy to hard brick if you don't do things just right.

It's like poison berries. Who was the first poor schmuck to find out those shiny berries would kill you?

For every "don't do this or you will brick your device!" warning out there there is a developer with an expensive paperweight.

Their "project butter" sounds interesting.

I was probably the first to repartition a Nook Tablet... honestly? It took a lot of confidence that I wasn't going to brick the device... there was a lot of concern that the security might brick, but going through the source code of the booting process, I was pretty darn sure that it wouldn't brick. But in the end, it came down to some big balls, and trust that it wouldn't brick. Of course, the forum post about it was slathered in "don't get this wrong or you'll hard brick your device" but not because I had an expensive paperweight at any point, but rather, because I knew what would happen if something went wrong.

Basically, think of it like the physics teacher demonstrating the bowling ball swinging away, and then coming close to, but not hitting their head. Physics tells them that it works... they've demonstrated it a million times before... and all that faith goes towards letting that ball go, when their common sense is screaming at them that something horrible will happen. I have no doubt, that each time they let go of that ball, their heart skips a beat, as they wonder: "maybe today, physics won't prevail..."

We received the pen and got quill app to work. Can write stuff and draw. But since I never used the pen not sure what else it should do.
