[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zljk:
I've seen some threads claiming that root itself doesn't affect updates, but changing of data on system partition.... Was kind of hoping there is a way to have my cake and eat it too - don't mind having to root the phone all over again after the OTA....

Anyhow - as an alternative, is there a way to get official Nexus updates ( stock ) using other channels except OTA ? What was happening with old Nexus phones ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _hyperdude:
The alternate way to get official Nexus updates is to download the update zip file once someone copies it off their device and uploads it, and install it in whatever fashion works.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phazerorg:
I rooted my Nexus One without unlocking the bootloader or using custom recovery. I definitely still got OTA updates and they worked fine, but would unroot the phone.

The solution is to use a custom recovery and apply the update .zip manually, then reflash superuser before rebooting. Whenever an OTA update comes out, someone eventually uses logcat to get the URL to the zip and posts it so anyone can download it.

I was rooted on Froyo and got the OTA update to Gingerbread no problem, but I lost root. I eventually got root again (Gingerbreak) and when the 2.3.4 update came out, I did it manually in custom recovery to keep root.

Now I run CM7.1 so I definitely don't get OTA updates from Google :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
It will often download and you can try but it will either fail, unroot you, or cause troubles.

You're best off applying the pre-rooted update, or unrooting and taking the OTA.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
True. However it's trivial to repackage an OTA update to a rooted update and since it's very compatible with the source in AOSP and you get working drivers very early you can start messing around with it straight away. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Of course, as is often the case for most phones supported here on XDA. the rooted OTA comes in the form of a .zip soon after it comes out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] psero:
When flashing the rooted OTA via recovery, does it wipe the phone (apps and all)?

Also for the other method, when unrooting >> applying OTA >> rooting again, does it wipe the phone at any point during this process?

Help would be appreciated and rewarded!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] motopig:
I just received my OTA update notification and found the update zip itself in the cache of my phone. I can post that update zip here if a mod can come along and tell me where to put it. ;) I am going to wait till I'm home so I can have my rooting facilities handy before starting.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
+1. Exactly.

There is a lot of wrong (or slightly incorrect) information in this thread.

Have root has no impact whatsoever in your ability to receive or apply the OTA update. This has been the case on every Android device. However, if you have a custom recovery flashed, you will not be able to automatically apply the update - you will have to find the zip file in the cache and use your custom recovery to apply it.

On a slightly separate note, once you apply the update either automatically or manually via custom recovery, you will lose root. However, if you do have a custom recovery, as long as you flash ChainsDD's superuser package immediately after applying the update, but before rebooting, you will retain root.

On another separate not, if you flash the update as is from Google, it includes a file (/system/recovery-from-boot.p) that re-flashes the stock recovery on every boot, so you will lose your custom recovery. Either remove the file before flashing the update, or just re-flash your custom recovery.

Ok, I know someone will tell me this thread doesn't belong to the dev section, but it does.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT WIFI TETHERING - READ CAREFULLY!!!

There has been adhoc support in CM 7 for the G1 (Htc Dream) I used to own and it worked just fine with my laptop AdHoc connection.

There seems to be a problem with most AOSP and GB STOCK(ish) roms - including Darky and CM 7.1 Stable. They seem to detect the adhoc network when a modded wpa_supplicant is installed (in Darky it's installable by the Darky App and in CM it is included in the stock rom). When trying to connect there are two scenarios :

1. I don't specify IP address and Gateway and rely on the windows DHCP to assign an address.

What happens in most roms is the phone hangs on waiting for IP address and never connects. In MIUI roms the phone connects instantly, so I guess the issue is rom related.

2. I specify IP address (the laptop is 192.168.231.1, so I choose 192.168.231.2 for the phone, and the laptop IP for DNS and Gateway)

What happens in most roms is the phone just disconnects instantly giving no reason and continues scanning. I've actually managed to connect in some roms (CM 7.1 and Darky) but it happens to be very unstable - the wifi keeps on scanning for new networks and even if the phone is connected, there is no actual internet coming through. [EDIT] I flashed the latest CM Nightly and the connection worked flawlessly.

I have ran some logcats but they don't show significant information on what's actually happening.

My idea is to put some of the MIUI binaries into use, but I don't know which ones, except the wpa_supplicant are responsible for WIFI. Can some of you developers help me and possibly make an All-Types-Of-Roms solution.

[EDIT] The Adhoc Connection seems to beworking in latest CM Nightlies. There seems to be something different in AOSP roms like CM, that makes Adhoc connection work flawlessly. Any idea what is it?
[Nook Touch General] hayz:
Hello.

I could not use the device for some time. It lay on the shelf for a month. The device was switched off. When I got it, I saw the horizontal bands on the screen.

If you turn the nook, the bands disappear. But traces of them can then be seen on different pictures. If you read about 100 pages, the bands disappear finally. If you turn off the device at a time, such a day, the band appear again.

Obviously, this is due to the power supply to the screen.

But, it is a defect or a feature of his screen work?
[Nook Touch General] apeine:
Hayz, this is an uncommon behavior of the screen. Any sort of ghost like this should disappear after a few page turns, and shouldn't come up during sleep.

I'd go for defect.
[Nook Touch General] GabrialDestruir:
I also have to put my vote in for some sort of defect, if your device is rooted I'd unroot it and see if it persists. If it does at this point I'd go to your local B&N or call B&N and get it replaced.
[Nook Touch General] leiko49:

Use NookRestore.img on your NST if it is rooted and then go to your local B&N and they should replace it for you as long as you don't mention the root.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] psukid:
Hello,

First post, and greetings.

After following TGA_Gunnman's steps in order to Root from 2.3.3, I

chose "Flash Stock Recover" (the third one) instead of the middle one.

Now all my apps and contacts are gone. Am I pretty much screwed?

My wife just fell asleep and this is her phone so I dead meat if I can't

restore it.

I'm thinking I wiped all the existing internal data since I selected the option

that is only used if I'm "returning to T-mo." All the SD card pics seem to be

though (thank God).

Is there a way to restore though if I've never backed up with NVIDIA?

I'm now proceeding to normal root options and will report how that goes.

Thank you in advance.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gman87:
Unless you did a backup there would be no way to undo it. If you synced your Google account you could get it back via google
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
First, you used nvflash to install recovery, not Nvidia ... that's the name of a company. Second, flashing stock recovery wouldnt have deleted that info. However, if after flashing stock recovery you attempted to boot into recovery by holding volume down + power, then it WOULD most definitely delete that info. Here's how it works:

-- With stock recovery (which is what u flashed) holding volume down + power performs a factory reset. A factory reset deletes all user-installed apps and user settings. System apps and anything on your sdcard are left intact and not deleted.

-- With clockworkmod recovery (what you intended to flash) holding volume down + power boots into recovery where you can make backups, flash roms, etc.

The good news is you didn't cause any permanent damage or lose anything you can't replace. You'll just have to download apps and change the settings back to the way she wants them.

If you still want to root. Use the nvflash tool again and install clickworkmod recovery. Then flash the root zip that jboxer posted in the development section.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] psukid:
Should warned everyone I'm a total noob too :(

Ultimately, was able to root and think I'm going to like

the benfits. All pics were still on sd card so lucked out there

atleast.

With daryken bumping this thread I just ran across it. I have been using this app for longer than this post has been up and must say I cannot do without it now.

The widget is what makes it. It really ties together my media home screen.

Just a heads up for those with CM7. It does not play well with DSP manager. I found I had to choose between the two. The choice was not hard.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stormageddon:
I never had any good results with DSP manager when I was on CM7. This really does work, but it doesn't seem to play well with MIUI which I am currently on. Instead I tweak the volume settings of idividual songs in iTunes and then move them over to the phone wich also works. But it is a bit of a long work around....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
Try flashing a kernel with Voodoo sound. It increases volume using the phone's hardware, so there is no distortion whatsoever.

Is there a way to get Reboot Option on stock rom reboot menu options?
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
Yeah it should be. I've never tried it on an odexed rom though so it could be a problem there. Of course you could always deodex the stock rom too. Its just code mods to some framework files: Framework-res.apk, android.policy.jar, and framework.jar all need to be modified. Nothing that needs to be done on a source level.

Lol that is definitely 4G speed still. 3G speed.. sucks :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Liquid5n0w:
You know that HSPA+ is actually 3G right? To the phone it connects on the same frequencies and uses the same method, just uses a wider connection channel.

That's why a custom ROM identifies as '3G', Telus wrote some custom features into the OS that makes it show up as 4G.

Basically, they replaced the 3G icon with a 4G icon. The 3G icon never shows up on stock Telus.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] openbook:
I am not a developer.but as a user i want something interesting.

But i can be your tester and let you know about your Rom.

I have seen many custom Roms and tried it on my SGS 2 i am not happy, all the roms say they have changed this and that but no visible changes just some color changes and EYE wash if any.

If there is any developer who can do something different rather than using the stupid Touch Wiz/Stupid MIUI which is like IOS .

let me know i will try it on my SGS2 if i am happy i will donate as much as i can.

Or give me pure google i know u will talk about drivers for specific devices include it your rom and give atleast pure google experience.

Every custom Rom change log is always long they say they changed so many things but i dont see any difference as a user and not seen so much problems in stock to fix. i test custom roms and i go back to my stock by restoring.

I am talking about development not modifying the existing software.

So many custom roms are out there but non of them are interesting i mean nothing new.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikzDHD:
The fact is stock is excellent, there's not much wrong with them, if you want aosp try cm7.

We as users have a large choice of roms to choose from, the next best would be to have cm7 with some aspects of touchwiz but impossible to do with closed drivers.

About the user friendly - yeah, I agree..

And about the sudden shutdowns-

backup all your data - nandroid backup

wipe all,

install the latest verison of CM

and than try to restor data only(in nandroid options)

see if it helps.

if not, there is something wrong with the kernal,

so try another verison of the rom or diffrend rom like SHADOWMOD.

I tried theme restore package and i got the original gingerbread theme back but market icon and fonts still orange.. How can i get that in original mode back too ??? Thank you for any answer :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Matriak31:
your mistake was that before you changing to another theme you did not do the theme restore first...i do not use that rom but in the kitchen there is a file were you flash that and it takes you back to the previous theme you had installed which in your case would of been stock...so give you an example you flash rom and you have your stock theme...then you want to say try pure blue..you flash that and you like it..next day though you want to change..then you should of downloaded theme restore, flashed that and then you would have your original look again...(you keeping up with me yeah) once you done that you can flash a different theme....that is what you should of done...to get back to the way you was try flashing the rom again and just wipe dalvik and cache and nothing else and see wat happens

You should do a nandroid backup, it will get everything, including the ext partition. You'll need to reboot into the recovery and have about a GB of free sdcard if you're planning on backing up a full ext partition.
