[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CountZer0:
Managed to get some things to work. Like Angry Birds and Angry Birds Rio. Angry Birds Seasons refuses to use the files that seems to have been pushed.

Also sms/mms pushing do nothing.

Been trying this :

adb push c:\backup\mmssms.db /data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/

+

adb push c:\backup\.(all flies from app_parts is then in that folder) /data/com.android.telephony/app_parts)

Do i forget something? Have put my desire in recovery mode with update.zip and it mounts fine from my computer. Do I have to mount it in the telephone as well?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I would do this Whilst in recovery from a terminal:

adb shell
mount /data
exit
adb push c:\backup\mmssms.db /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CountZer0:
managed to get angry birds seasons score now.

But not my texts. Must i do something to restore them or will they be there automaticly when i reboot the phone?

This time i tried to rm the mmssms.db and all the files in app_parts. Then pushed the backups to their place. When I use ls i. /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/ and /app_parts/ all the files i pushed there are at their place. But still nothing shows up in the phone
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
can you push the entire contents of com.android.providers.telephony? After removing the entire contents of whats there?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CountZer0:
when i pull it, it still there it seems. Pull only copies it?

So how do i remove a whole folder? And how do i push the folder back?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
No dont pull it.

adb shell
mount /data
cd /data/data
rm /com.android.providers.telephony/*
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CountZer0:
Wooah! Somehow that didnt work, so i added -rf after rm. And it deleted the whole data folder. Trying to push the full content of data to /data/data/ know. Rebooting...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CountZer0:
Didnt work. Lots of apps were FC. Recovered from nandroid. And tried it again. Was succesful in removing the /com.android.providers.telephony/ from phone. Adb pushed the other one i have on my computer but still no luck. Rom runs without problem but sms/mms is still empty when i check.

You sure i dont have to activate them or something? When i notepad the mmssms.db it sure is all of my texts. And now the whole folder is replaced with the one from my computer... Strange strange.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
It should work. Odd. What about wipe of dalvik cache?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CountZer0:
Will try it, ill be back
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CountZer0:
Got dammit! Didnt work that either. :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I honestly don't know why this isn't working. It works for others. What about trying it straight from a factory reset?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CountZer0:
Its not that I have to do something with chown radio.radio or chmod -r 775 or something like that from shell?

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bohemus:
Are there any plans to build an ICS ROM for the N1 from the SDK?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dude Random21:
My guess they will start making some when google release the AOSP.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
I think the OP was asking if there will be ROMs based on the SDK (which is already out), not on AOSP...

If you want to play around with it, just use the SDK and create an AVD. Actual ROMs based off the SDK do not work well, so might as well just play around with it on an AVD.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dude Random21:
I know that, I was saying that there probably will only be ports to the N1 once the AOSP comes out.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
I know CM will not port anything from SDK
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
Folks will prob be putting out SDK builds now, given that the SDK is out, but the source is not . Once the source is available, we will see AOSP builds.

EDIT: What I was trying to say is that once the source is released to the AOSP, there certainly will be no SDK builds released. If SDK builds are coming (as they have in the past) they will come between the release of the SDK and before the release of the source...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kromem:
I've been seeing a lot of blowback on what many are considering sub-par specs for the Galaxy Nexus. I'm not sure it deserves as much criticism as it's getting.

Processor

The Complaint:

1.2 GHz isn't 1.5

The chip comes with the outdated SGX540 GPU

The Possible Reason:

The s2 Exynos apparently doesn't work well with LTE right now. Personally, I'd prefer LTE latency to HSPA+ with a marginally faster processor.

The GPU does suck, but unfortunately there aren't really any other chipsets available right now offering something better for LTE.

And keep in mind, the OMAP 4460 is BRAND NEW. This is not the same OMAP 4430 that has been in other phones to date. The clock speed was tuned down to 1.2 GHz in order to avoid delays when the 1.5 speeds were not stable.

While the GPU may suck, apparently the OMAP 4460 has some nice features in the way of media/video processing, which was behind Google's decision to go with that chipset.

Update: That media/video processing feature is called the IVA 3 -- it is a hw video decoder/encoder that supports 1080p@30fps for h.264, MPEG-4, and h.263, VP8, etc. In essence, it allows for low power consumption while playing back HD quality video (and this makes a lot more sense as to why Google decided to go with OMAP for their new 720p resolution device). More info: http:// blog . webmproject . org/2010/10/demo-of-webm-running-on-ti-omap-4.html

Camera

The Complaint:

5 MP isn't 8

Sample pictures aren't mind-blowing

The Possible Reason:

Instant shutter and panoramic photos.

The Galaxy Nexus takes photos REALLY quickly, and the panoramic photo capability depends on that. This means the phone needs both a fast lens (search Wikipedia for "Lens speed") and likely a sensor capable of operating at those speeds. It's quite possible that they had to sacrifice in MP in order to get those speeds.

So yes, the camera is not as "good" as other phones might have, but the marginal decrease might be what's allowing it to run circles around other cameras in photo speed and generate some impressive panoramas.

Those seem to be the two major complaints right now. Also, I admit my hardware knowledge isn't as in depth as some others on xda, so I welcome any additional info. Thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] archades:
For me it would be the Camera and lack of SD card.

I can deal with 5MP if it also had better image stabilization. The pics I have seen were not sharp. However, the fast AF and panoramic mode are bad ass.

The lack of a SD card is just annoying. As a developer, it would be nice to have this support.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aoprea:
Based on previous Nexus devices (One and S) i think NO see a

FM radio. Too bad...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bfspider:
The lack of SD card is kinda annoying.

The only two "sub-par" items that were listed is rather "meh." You will never tell the difference of 300Mhz. You can run your benchmark tools, but, user experience is nil.

Camera MP doesn't mean anything if the phone can't take decent pictures at all. If you're worried about anything over 5MP, then, you should carry a real camera.

For an FM radio... if it's lacking the hardware.... Tune In Radio app is a sweet replacement.

The Nexus phones sets the standard for all smartphones. This phone seems to be "above-par" to what is currently out there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JaiaV:
My gripes:

1. Way too close to the SGSII form factor. I found the SGSII to be insanely uncomfortable for me. It's far too thin to be so wide.

2. No SD card. Instant fail for me. It's not that the built-in memory isn't enough, it's that Samsung has a history of Nexus devices with failed memory and no way to fix it because there isn't an SD slot.

3. Samsung's total plastic body builds are lightweight, sure, but they feel like cheap pieces of throwaway junk. The Amaze, IMO, makes the SGSII feel like a chump (for reference, I don't use most HTC devices due to Sense, I prefer stock software but I love HTC's build quality).

4. It's made by Samsung. Again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marclile:
Couldn't agree more.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bfspider:
#3 has been connected with a metal chassis. If you take a look around some of the reviews, a few sites notice that difference.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
the device is meant for DEVELOPERS, not normal folks basically, that was probably their mentality

thus all the lack of high tech stuff, except for the screen
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JaiaV:
Most of them do have some internal metal chassis that acts like a skeleton of sorts, if I am not mistaken. That doesn't stop them from feeling like cheap pieces of trash.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zeitgeb3r:
I won't be able to jog faster with this phone, as it's slightly bigger and heavier than S2.

Galaxy S II weight = 116 grams

Galaxy Nexus weight = 135 grams
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kromem:
If anything, that makes less sense. Normal people don't even know what OMAP or a SGX540 is.

And I kind of meant thoughts on whether or not my reasoning relating to the hardware choices seemed sound. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rstat1:
Ha even the 540 is upgrade for me, I'm still using the OG Droid with it's SGX530 toting OMAP3 chip. So a dual core OMAP4 is a vast upgrade for me.

Plus the lack of an SD card is no big deal for me...16GB of onboard storage is more than enough for me, meaning it doesn't really need an SD card as much as my Droid does.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dnlsmy:
For a while, I was sort of disappointed with a couple of the GN's specs, but I'm now very excited. Let me address the specs in question:

1. GPU : The GPU is the Nov 2007 SGX540 while the current ringleader is the Jan 2009 SGX543MP2. The difference is that the GN's GPU is clocked at a speedy 384 MHz, almost double that of the 200 MHz clock speed of the SGX543MP2. With that knowledge, plus the fact that I won't be playing console-quality games on a touchscreen, I was pretty much satisfied.

2. CPU : I first cringed when I heard that the GN was going to have a Ti-OMAP processor instead of the Exynos, but I was sort of happy when I learned it might be the OMAP4470, a beast of a phone. Then I checked Wikipedia, and was disappointed to learn the 4470 is coming out in Q2 2012, meaning I would have to settle with the lesser version. I'm still uneasy about this aspect, but the fact that Google has chose this processor specifically inclines me to think it will be optimized thoroughly. Just look at the iPhone4 vs the iPhone4S; a dual-core, plus a beefed up GPU don't make the phone any faster, as the OS has been perfectly coded to the hardware already. The GHz make no difference in real life, aside for half a second. Besides, more ICS devices are coming up according to Black_man_x, with AT&T leading in specs for now (the GSMarena Nexus Specs leak is probably that phone) so the best phone is perpetually going to be "right around the corner".

3. Camera: I knew this was going to be a 5MP shooter, as I predicted Google would push Google+ and instant upload with this model, which allows unlimited storage to 5MP photos. The camera is also hard coded to the CPU, which is why you get 1080p on a 5MP camera, which was previously unheard of (at least to me). Some 8MP still can't even do 1080p, resting at 720p only. Plus you get awesome features such as continuous exposure and photo capture while recording.

4. No SDCard slot: I never use microSD's so this isn't a problem for me. I can see how it would affect others though. I prefer internal storage over anything, as it's fast and secure. I just need to keep a NANDroid at all times on the device though ;)

Honestly, everything else was amazing. The LED notification totally surprised me, as I thought it was going to be like the Epic's (a lame blue light at the top). I love the form factor and size, and I'm personally going to buy the HSPA+ model. I hate CDMA with a burning passion, and T-Mobile has got a new prepaid $30 5GB Unlimited Plan with 100 Mins and Unltd Texts that I can abuse. Whenever I feel like it, I can hop on over to AT&T, switch to 3 in the UK when I travel, or go with a local carrier. I made the mistake of buying the Nexus One a couple of months before the Nexus S landed, not going to make the same mistake again :D

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GazaIan:
IMO nothing is wrong with the Camera, plus by now everyone should know that Megapixels don't mean a damn thing -_- this camera is actually pretty damn beast.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dLo GSR:
i think you misunderstand lens speed. the aperture of the lens for this camera really shouldn't be affected by the sensor. perhaps you mean sensor speed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slowz3r:
people still had the same complains with the NS...........I doubt we will be seeing any Nexus device jump as far ahead as the N1 did
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vzontini:
For all those complaining about the lack of SD card slot I'm guessing you don't have a Honeycomb tablet with an SD card slot. Even with the latest Honeycomb update that came out about a month ago Google still doesn't have the SD card working like most expect. It is nothing like an SD card under Gingerbread. I believe they want people to use a new storage API to interact with the SD card so many apps don't see it or consider it read-only. Applications using the new storage API are read/write. It's a change and I think many existing Froyo/Gingerbread era apps will need to be updated for Ice Cream Sandwich.

That said my guess is Google still hasn't worked out these kinks with SD cards for early Ice Cream Sandwich either. Therefore going with all internal storage and no SD card option avoids the problem and will provide the best user experience. Motorola on the other hand has taken a beating from Xoom owners like myself that waited 6 months for any kind of SD card support and even then found it lacking.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] peachpuff:
The lack the sd card is a bit of a downer, if samsung goes the same route with the partitions as they did on the sgs2 then we'll only have 11.5gb of free space left on the sdcard.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TopOfNewYork:
wat no sd card? blasphemy!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmedandDangerous:
LTE should never be the reason. If that was the case, the HSPA+ version would get a different chipset! Just like how the SGS2 is. Some came with SoC's that aren't Exynos' for different markets.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] androidbuff123:
without an SD card, the nandroids would have to be on the flash memory.. hopefully it is partitioned so as to no delete the entire flash memory when you do a factory reset or something. I am not even sure if nandroids will work without an SD card.. anyone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kromem:
Indeed, though keep in mind it's intended to be a dev phone, and I doubt Google would ever decide to make a Nexus phone where different networks had different chipsets.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chad_Petree:
Im dissapointed in the camera they chose, if they wanted to be lazy and practical they should have chosen the same camera module found on the galaxy s ii ;)

I still dont get the lack os sd card? maybe because the internal storage is faster tahn the sd cards and they wanted all the apps to be installed on the internal storage for extra speed? :confused:

i find it funny that people here say it's a developer's phone, i dont think so, it would be a developers phone it'd be be cheaper , 500 $ dollars unlocked and sold exclusively through google/amazon/best buy , it wouldnt be avaialble to all carriers
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] davewuvswaffles:
Why? Just because it isn't 8MP? Megapixels =/= image quality...

Do you know what a developer phone is?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ferhanmm:
Hopefully ICS will utilize the hardware more efficiently bringing the hardware gap down or even ahead of the other phones.

Sun spider benchmark is already showing to be the least(best) of any other phone.

Galaxy Nexus (1963ms) - http://developer.android.com/sdk/images/4.0/bbench.png

iPhone 4s (2260.9ms) - http://arstechnica.com/apple/reviews/2011/10/iphone-4s-a-siri-ously-slick-speedy-smartphone.ars/4

Can someone comment on if they think the GSII will surpass the galaxy nexus benchmarks once its running ICS? I can't see why it wouldn't.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pachi72:
The deal breaker is the lack of sd card. I guess I'll stick with my GS2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kromem:
The Moto RAZR is running non ICS with the OMAP 4460...take a look at how it fares for SunSpider:

http:// www. anandtech. com/show/4981/motorola-droid-razr-performance-preview-improved-browser-performance

(Can't post urls yet...) :-(

So no, the GSII will quite likely not beat the Galaxy Nexus in javascript performance even after it gets ICS.

(The more I dig into these numbers, the more the "Galaxy Nexus worse than 4S and SGII" comments are getting on my nerves -- so far this looks to ONLY be true in terms of OpenGL/GPU)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 318vert:
But on a phone like this with a huge HD display you would have though they would want the best gaming experience possible?

I think Google (and OEM's) needs to start listening to the consumers before they design a phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kromem:
Keep in mind, there aren't enough top notch game developers to justify designing a device around games. It's a bit of a chicken and the egg scenario, but also in part due to the low payment ratio Android sees versus iOS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 318vert:
True but also games are not going to be developed if the hardware in devices isn't up to the task

As a benchmark phone it should have used the top of the range and newest hardware.

To me the only let down with this is the GPU. Unless they have done some serious tweaking.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] virtualcertainty:
Not just developers, also enthusiasts. I don't personally know any developers, but I know lots people that will run out to get this for the OS and the updates. But that still doesn't explain, why it doesn't have top tier hardware installed.

I'm not a developer, I'm a business guy, and I think the reason for the not-quite-premium specs is about the business case. When you take Samsung's normal release, look at its cost, set a price, then add perhaps a little revenue for packing the device with carrier and partner's bloatware, you arrive at their normal rate of return which will keep shareholders happy. Now look at the Nexus line. Shave off the bloatware revenue, now you have to negotiate a contract between Samsung and Google where they share that rate of return. That makes for much tighter profit margins. It stands to reason that there will be pressure to either charge a higher price or cut back on costs. Not bashing anyone for being 'evil', its just the logical business choice I'd advise my clients to do.

This is why I don't think you will EVER see a Nexus release really wow anyone on hardware specs. It is all about the pure Android experience. That's the true selling feature, and people will buy it whether the hardware is top notch or not. I know I will.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Einride:
Well, that's some good reasoning there, virtualcertainty :) (although not what people would want to hear :p)

At the same time, wouldn't Google want to push the latest and greatest for their own platform, despite minimal revenue on such a phone? Yes, they need to make sure their not pushing other manufacturers out of the market, but at the same time they really need to push things forward.

Mobile gaming WILL continue to grow a lot. Apple didn't seriously beef up the GPU performance of the 4S for dung and giggles :)

On that note, with Google's purchase of Motorola Mobility (or whatever that division is called), if the next Google phone is a "Gootorola"/"Motoroogle" (you heard it here first!) phone, surely they should be able to deliver a "fully specced" phone then? Only time will tell I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ghost010:
have you ever had a nexus s???....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sauron0101:
That's not the end of the world. Nobody is going to have difficulties carrying something 19 grams heavier. Lol.

Edit:

The real problem is the GPU and lack of SD card, which may not be able to run the latest games. Plus the flexibility of the SD card is a big advantage of choosing Android.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KLoNe1:
The no SD-Card is the only let down for me really. What would be their reasoning for leaving this out?

But really; Android 4.0 looks awesome and damn; 720p on a 4.65" screen? All my mates are gonna be super jealous :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lukesky:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:

but i'd much rather lose that in trade for a microSD support :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bee55:
I'm seriously worried about the GPU (well, not really, I'll just keep my SGSII, but) while it may be enough for providing good performance on a regular 800x480 device, it'll just die trying to render games in 1280x720... i really don't understand why TI didn't go with the 543MP2 as that has been out for quite a while now too. I also don't like the fact that the screen will have a pentile matrix, though it might not be as visible as on 800x480 devices (samsung could have gone with a screen that's not pentile but has the same amount of subpixels - aka a bit lower res - and it would have made the GPU's crappy life just a bit better :P).
