Hi All,
I have two quick questions about the Galaxy Nexus/Ice Cream Sandwich for which I'm hoping somebody might be able to offer an answer (or at least some speculation).
First: A large portion of my music collection is stored in the form of .FLAC files. I would prefer not to have to transcode these files for playback (it's a hassle and it takes up extra space on my hard drive). Looking at the Android Developers website (h t t p://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html), I see that FLAC support is listed for "(Android 3.1+)." Does this mean that Android 4.0 will, indeed, have native FLAC support? This would be absolutely amazing!
Second: I am currently running PEv4.2 on my OG Droid and have become very attached to the Galaxy S-style power notification widget/toggles offered in this ROM (and all CM-based ROMs). While I understand that this feature is not built in to Ice Cream Sandwich (there's only a link to settings - not quite as useful in my book), does anyone know if there is multitouch support in the notifications? All of the videos I've watched have shown only the "swipe to remove" gesture to eliminate individual notifications. Basically, I want to know if I'll be able to use an application like Widgetsoid to put these power control toggles in the notification dropdown on a single row and also be able to select multiple toggles without opening a new, expanded window (that's how it is handled if I try to use Widgetsoid on my OG since it does NOT have support for multiple toggles in one notification).
I apologize if these questions are elementary; I don't have any computer science knowledge, so I could only glean so much from the Android Developers website.
Thanks in advance for your help!
