Test

Okay guys... You guys greatly overwhelmed my Server when we launched. I don't have any money so I am using a free host.

That said, I would like to provide a fast alternative to Downloads in case the site ever goes down. Now bare with me with this suggestion...

What do you guys think about BitTorrent Sync? I know that it is a little complicated to set up; but once you set it up, you are done. So I am providing a Test for you guys.

If you have some time (and bandwidth), would you consider (re-)downloading to test the capacity? Instructions on how to do it are hidden below if you want to test:
  1. Download BitTorrent Sync
  2. Skip Setup and add a Sync Folder
  3. Select a Folder (maybe /sdcard/Vox)
  4. Enter this Secret into the Box: BTD2MQMNDQGGPKMMEZTIFC3SAD4SUQLTI
  5. DO NOT CHECK Automatic Sync as this will download all the files, you only want to download the latest for your device!
  6. Press Done and then open the folder in the app and download the Nexus 5 ROM, Nexus 7 ROM, and/or the QuickBoot APK.
  7. File will be in the folder you selected when you decide to flash (in this case /sdcard/Vox)

Thanks for all of your help and also thank you for downloading!

Sincerely,
Brandon Giesing, Founder of Team Voxive

An Update

I know that I promised an update a while ago and have not (yet) delivered...

First, Swipe to Float is becoming a pain in my A**. Literally, I just can't get it to build with it in there...
Second, PA has abandoned the Settings Reorder on their Gerrit... Should I also?
Finally, in some better news, I am trying to add Native USB OTG support for Flo. PA has it enabled on Hammerhead but not flo even though it should work.

If anybody wants to help with the ROM (some code fixes and stuff as I don't know how to code), that would be great!

Stay tuned...

Good and Bad

Okay guys, some good and bad news...

Bad news, my flo's charging port broke yesterday. This means that I have no way to test my ROM. Also, I am without any device... :(

Good news! It broke while I was in the middle of building! So, I have one release you guys can try while I wait for my device to get fixed by ASUS.

Below is the changelog and it is big.
4.44-20140728

  • Updated with latest from AOSPA
  • Added native USB-OTG for Nexus 7 (2013)
  • Merged in new patch to make PA features like HOVER work with Multiple Users on tablets.
  • Removed Swipe to Float as it was not working at all.
Also, I have moved downloads to AFH as my personal server had download issues. Here is a direct download to today's release.

Finally, no... this doesn't include the new recents. AOSPA hasn't released the source yet. But it does include a month worth of improvements to AOSPA.

I hope you guys enjoy this and I will see you later.

Thanks,
Brandon Giesing, Founder of Team Voxive.

Update

As you may have read a few posts back, my Flo has broke. Here is an update on that.

First, I have received it back from ASUS. Problem, they didn't fix a thing. Charging port is still broke and all they did was slap a sticker on the back.

Secondly, I tried to build an update anyway. Problem here is that some changes AOSPA has merged in are breaking builds for Flo/Deb, meaning I can't build an update till they fix it.

However, there is some good things. By time they fix the build system, the new recents will probably be open sourced as they are introducing a new feature called Dynamic System Bars. (I actually helped them announce it by Teasing the Teaser!) I have not got a chance to try it but it looks amazing. Think Tinted Status Bar but 50x better.

Also as of last Wednesday, I started back at School, I am a Senior this year so after I graduate, I will have more time for projects like this!

Hope this gives a little insight.

Thanks,
Brandon Giesing
