I’m sure he enjoys kittens because if there was no hype or people crying for his ROMs, his releases wouldn’t be as satisfying

As I undertsand the meme; every time someone asks for an ETA or “implies” it, Roman (AOKP lead dev) kills a kitten.

A lot of kittens died last night.

Let me know. I built the source last night using the same basic steps I use to build AOKP, but AOKP includes the kernel/binaries and all of that.

I ended up with a flashable zip, but no boot. It’s missing binaries or kernel or … something.

Didn’t see anything in those instructions regarding the binaries unfortunately…

With varying degrees of “easy”.

Tried it last night. it built…gave me a zip..but I need to figure out how to get it working. Been building AOKP for a while, but this is a different beast…

., lunch, and make are apparently not the only steps. :p

Gotta include binaries, or kernel..or something. I’ll figure it out…eventually.

What the hell does that mean Mr. Tool

Yup. For all intents and purposes, the toro device (VZW Nexus) is now fully supported under AOSP as of 4.1. We have binaries for CDMA/LTE, orientation sensor, GPS and Wifi.

I built the source last night…now all I need to do is figure out how to make a “rom” out of it.

The build likely didn’t include the binaries or a kernel and broke my recovery as well. Been building AOKP for a while, but straight source, direct from Google is apparently quite a different beast.

I hear you, and I agree with what you’re saying for the most part. But look at how long it took Verizon to roll out the 4.0.3 update (Only Verizon could ruin a Nexus device). I’m just saying that if you look at Verizon’s history of updating its phones, it’s not good (actually, it f’ing terrible). Yes, Google will have the software ready to go, but Verizon still has to “test” it before they roll it out to everyone, which usually takes a few months. After putting up with Verizon’s endless douchery for the past 7 years because of their good coverage, I have no faith left in them. To go back to my original point about not pushing out the JB update to the GNEX because they want people to buy the Galaxy S III… My point in saying this, is that pushing out JB to the GNEX gives people an incentive to buy the GNEX over the the new GSIII. I wouldn’t put it past Verizon to delay pushing out the update until the GSIII has had a few weeks to be the premiere phone on their shelfs. I could be wrong, and I hope that I am and that you are right. But from my experience, Verizon=Satan.

I don’t think so. They make money off of the proceeds lans, not the devices. I don’t see how your comment relates in the first place. Gs3 is going to be promoted heavily but most people are either locked in for another year or 2 with vzw from the galaxy nexus , or anyone who isn’t either is that way for a reason or is going to pick up whatever they are told is best or have their mind set. Verizon knows this, but not updating because of a newer hardware is not the reason. Newer hardware wasn’t out during its first update the phone got.

It’s an angry unicorn, nothing gay about that.
