Dear Google, I was not able to attend 2012's IO. Yet, I saw the potential of the Nexus Q, so I ordered one via Ebay from an attendee. I realize that this means you have no obligation to support me, and yet I am asking for help. A number of people (original receivers and third party purchasers) have enjoyed using the Nexus Q, and would like to continue to do so.
With the recent Play update, it appears that support for the Nexus Q has been dropped. I am not an Android expert yet. I was hoping that the really smart folks in the big ROM communities would be able to turn the Nexus Q into a super device. And in some instances, they have. However, certain components of the Nexus Q (that make it a Q) are missing from the flashed devices. The first being the ability to choose an audio output (SPDIF, HDMI or the built in amp), and the second being control of the LED ring. If I have to learn to be an Android expert to get these functions back, so be it. If you could please release interface documentation (it doesn't have to be polished - engineering notes are fine) for the audio amp, the LED ring, and the embedded Atmel, that would be great. If the audio amp requires a special kernel driver, it would be appreciated if you could release that as well, in either source or at minimum a binary module, so that we can continue to update and maintain our Qs. (Anything else that is releasable regarding the hardware / software design would also be appreciated.)
