The challenge:
To use an incredibly outdated android phone (2.1 or below) for at least one week. Post here every day about your experiences.
Why?
Because there's always a lot of complaints about android fragmentation etc etc. This challenge is to prove those complaints either wrong or right.
The phone I'll be using:
A LG GW620 I got off ebay for $15. 528Mhz processor. Android 1.5. This should be interesting. Phone scheduled to arrive this tuesday.

Hey guys,
Just came across this and wanted to share:

Jesus. It's a Nexus device, that just came out. Why wouldn't you get it? Why is this news?
Unless your poor soul is on a Verizon GN.
You beat me to it they will both be seeing 5.0 to...welcome to the wonderfully world of nexus!
Sure but its a little odd to be seeing 4.2 so soon after 4.1.
Noooo waaaaay

Lol and im basing off of the past facts. They never bent the name to match the letter before i dont think they will do it now. the infamous candy cane easter egg inside an easter egg eggcetption should be taken as that is the time period of release of either the new OS or Nexus Phone or at least thats what i take it as.

Yup Cm11 the only time it gets the .1 or .2 is when they hit a new stage of stablilty or checkpoint if you will. Like they did with the "stable" release of CM9.1
Yep, it's time fer the next round of... Android ROOMEHZ...
http://androidandme.com/2012/10/new...ore-customization-center-enhanced-google-now/
Of note is the possibility of multiple Nexus toys. Lord knows Goog needs to figure a way to get OS updates out faster, and this seems inevitable. Hopefully, Linux kernel 3.7 w/ multi-SoC support will be another big step.
The interesting thing here is the multiple mentions of the term "secure": secure transactions (via NFC), secure media streaming, secure memory, etc etc. "Secure" imply locked devices. We XDA peeps tend to equate Nexus toys with "open," and this belief may be a casualty with the upcoming wave of Nexus toys. Yes to stock Android and direct updates. No to custom ROMs?
Otherwise, Android K is reportedly another ho-hum release, mainly to beef up Goog Play stuff to better compete with the walled gardens of Apple and Amazon. Android L, where are you?
I have put together a couple rom's for you guys to enjoy because you lack support here... I have not yet got the device but I have a fund started to get one from a couple users here in the forum if you want to contribute make sure you note it with the donation so i know what its for...

Google's marketing execs +1 Apple's again. This is brilliant! I thought Apple did a cool thing by changing their naming convention for OSX starting with Mavericks (a surf spot in NorCal). Kit-Kat is all over the place! Gas stations, convenience stores, shopping malls, movie theaters, etc.
My thoughts, no source...
It makes me think that 5.0 is being developed but not being released just yet so Apple doesn't blatantly copy Google yet again. 4.4 would be the hold over OS upgrade until then. Google will release 5.0 next summer leaving Apple no time to put any of those features in iOS 8 next year.

You know what's funny is how everyone is so happy with their phone when it comes out, posting how great this and that works. Then info if an update happens then all of a sudden we get over taken with this feeling that it just isn't good enough unless we get that update.

Please leave your comments of what you want out of this version.
It is supposed to be very lightweight and supported on devices with 512 mb RAM

A option for green, red, etc instead of having no choice but the "holo" look.

As new phones come out, the lower end phone's prices keep dropping.. I got this for 11k now its dropped to around 7k in india. So by the time kk comes out, a much better phone, like maybe desire x, will fall into this price range.. Then anyone would definitely go for that better phone..
I have choices for L /nexus 4 / ZR
Will either get art end of the month or max by next year:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer:

Just remember guys not to update when ever is available since you will loose most certain the bootloader unlocked and who know if you guys will be able to restore it

Never said we were getting it. Just said await for possible update to nothing coming anymore. So the fact they went through the trouble of changing that to expect kit kat.. I'm 90‰ sure we're getting it. Just will depend on att.

Check arrrghhh's thread. He just uploaded a 4.4 stock kernel in the CM post (comment 5 on his thread).

Just FYI, if you check that upgrade site, the Atrix HD "developer edition" will not get the upgrade. I'm sure there are some people on here that have that phone.

Exactly. I wanted to write same thing. Great news but I remember that they promised ics update on 4g and then they changed their mind. I will be happy only when we will be able to download it.
So what will happen with everyone with unlocked bootloaders? Does someone just have to make the stock 4.4 firmware a flashable zip? I just read that trying to flash this with an unlocked bootloader can brick the device.
Us getting 4.4 is great news and all, just DON'T INSTALL IT. We'll likely lose our unlocked bootloader if we do. Best to wait until a rom is made from the update, or wait until the Dev Team implements the updated kernel and libs into our sources. I just hope that we'll have a unified 3.4 kernel with the Ultra/X series.
If you install this and post about how you lost your unlocked bootloader, we're all gonna laugh at you.
