[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarrettBear:
I've got something of a problem. I enjoy the speed and customization of Cyanogen, but I've also grown accustomed and frankly, think that the Samsung stock camera is the best camera app for our phones.

I was wondering whether or not it is possible to take the original stock camera, and create a CWM flashable ZIP file out of it? Like how Cyanogen has the ZIP flashable Google Apps.

I'm currently on a MIUI rom because it retains the original camera, but it doesn't have the finesse of Cyanogen.

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi,

cyanogen has another framework, the Samsung stock camera don't work.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidphile:
CM and MIUI are pure aosp roms which has no 'samsungyness" left.

So no apps from samsung framework will work. Hence, you can NOT use stock camera on miui.

Only rom afaik, that is almost pure aosp and has a few good samsung apps in it, is GingerMod. (samsung browser, camera and fm radio).

And, for replacing/adding a new system app, if you have the app apk, you can just push it to /system/app using root explorer, set correct permissions and reboot. Cwm flashable zip is just an easy way.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarrettBear:
Thanks for the replies. I've been pushing the Camera.apk into the app directory, but it wasn't working. I thought that the app itself may contain the drivers required; I didn't know it required an entirely different framework.

I'm running GingerMod right now, but unfortunately it is still sluggish compared to Cyanogen.

Can anyone recommend a camera app for Cyanogen, which is as close to stock as possible? Cyanogen's default camera unfortunately has a longer lag between pressing the shutter button and taking the picture, than the stock Samsung one.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackdeath09:
Try Vignette, Camera 360 or lgCamera. They are pretty good. Sometimes I use them even instead of the stock app
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zenosteam:
hi all, i am looking for an apk named no more power or some thing like that i try to search it but i didn't find it can have some help or thread to this apk please , thanks in advance
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grant Barker:
What does it do? This will help anyone understand what type of app you are looking for.

Here is a search in the Android Market for the keyword `Power': https://market.android.com/search?q=power&so=1&c=apps
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Do you know what it (the app) does?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zenosteam:
well i am not very good in English but i will try explain what this apk do ,was posted in xda forum when you power the phone this apk replace the icon of the battery you will have charge in percent you can set to power on the phone on 100 /100
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtrosky:
I had my docked Transfromer folded up sitting on my nightstand last night (NOT connected to AC power) and I just happend to notice at one point that the chraging LED on the dock blinked red three or four times and then stopped. That's the second time I've noticed that (but never seen it happen while I was specifically watching for it!) and I was just curious what it meant? Anyone know?

Thanks!

Hey all iam new to this site...... well its been two weeks after i bought my optimus black and i have problem......... when i play YouTube videos it only streams but when i rewind it a bit back it starts all over again..... i even updated the adobe flash player and i even installed adobe air but nothing seems to work......... my bro has samsung galaxy s 2 and it works for him so plzzzzz i need help
[LG Optimus Black] officialreloaded:
Works fine here buddy.

You using YouTube application or playing via browser? If browser than stock or any other?
[LG Optimus Black] REAPER1992:
I am using YouTube I even formatted the phone many times plz help
[LG Optimus Black] REAPER1992:
When using browser (desktop mode) flash player works but in mobile it doesn't work properly plz help what should I do
[LG Optimus Black] officialreloaded:
Are you on stock rom? Or Nova or cyanogenmod? . If stock then rooted it not? Because you can use titanium to wipe YouTube and uninstall it and then you can reinstall from market.:)
[LG Optimus Black] REAPER1992:
Well I have the stock ROM............
[LG Optimus Black] officialreloaded:
Then as i said, root it and use titanium backup to wipe and uninstall Youtube. Then install it again from market. This should solve any error.
[LG Optimus Black] REAPER1992:
ok i ll try to root it but can u tell me what rom u r using and the steps to root this phone plz
[LG Optimus Black] officialreloaded:
I am using cyanogenmod nightly v19 with knzo kernel v7.

Well, as a word of advice to you, please brows at least top 10-15 threads of xda optimus black's General and Android developement sections. It will help you a lot to get max out of your device.
[LG Optimus Black] REAPER1992:
thanks helping me dude................................ rooting my phone seems complicated............................. can i just wait for ginger bread update or cyanogenmod nightly v19 with knzo kernel v7........................which is better?
[LG Optimus Black] officialreloaded:
If you are not into much modding experience like changing governors, schedulers, frequencies etc and stock meets your need, better wait for official GB update, since nightlies have its own bugs.

Anyways, i would like to mention that discussing about rom and etc. should continue in appropriate thread. Let's keep this place for adobe flash related problems and discussions only that may arise with someone. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cykotix:
Thanks for the review and honesty. It would be nice if you kept this updated as either your opinion changes or things are fixed from either Google or app developers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hrcro:
Is web browser as smooth (scrolling, pinch to zoom) as one on the galaxy s2?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] randypurcz:
I really beginning to wonder if Verizon is going to put these out there in two weeks without some fixes/improvements in place. I mean, if December 8 is real, these phones have got be in sealed boxes already. People will be returning them faster than they sell them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike freegan:
It feels a lot smoother than my Galaxy S II did.

I'm about to test the bluetooth quality, as crackling audio was my biggest pet hate from previous Android versions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Deleted member 2842059:
Can you resize the search widget? If we are stuck with it maybe something smaller will help minimize that particular drawback.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] suomaf:
have you got an otg usb cable? can you hook up a thumb drive?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vADimko:
yes, please test it. whole forum with owners GN but nobody had test this opportunity yet
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jms.flynn:
I hope yopu don't mind but I am going to hijack this thread and also post a quick review from a similar nerd is maybe over critical. Saves starting a new thread.

The Good

ICS is very polished, much more so than any other version of android, it tries to stay consistent through the whole phone where as in previous versions it was one of my main annoyances.

The device looks fantastic.

The speed is very good, I wouldn't say it is any faster than a SGS2 with a custom rom IMO but it is a lot smother in animation etc. so it feels a lot faster.

The screen is very nice, playing videos when the screen is set up to an acceptable brightness are amazing with colours a lot more natural than the SGS2 or the yellow tint of the iphone 4.

Radio is very good also, getting full signal in my house where as before i would only receive 2-3 bars.

Text input is a lot better although i have found it is unable to keep up with my typing, although it is putting the letters down it almost seems like there is a little delay in the animation of them magnifying.

Notification light is back and I am glad, as I missed that feature on my SGS2.

Has everything, NFC, noise cancelling mic, 720p display and ICS. Its pretty much future proof (in terms of the next few years)

Zero shutter lag is a very good feature

Bad Points

The screen although very nice on full or half brightness is not very good on auto brightness. It is so much lower compared to all my other smart phones it is almost unusable I find so I have had to manually set the brightness.

Auto rotate as I have mentioned in another thread is very inconsistent, very fast in some apps nearly non existent in others.

Sound quality is quiet, not poor quality but very quiet. My SGS2 and iPhone 4 over power it when playing videos.

The browser is fast but it is not as fast as my SGS2 running Check Rom Revolution HD. It is deffo faster than the iPhone 4.

The camera is not great, its not bad but the quality feels like it is from a year old device. Quite grainy, not as good as the SGS2 or the iphone 4s unfortunately.

And lastly a few quirks which I am sure will be sorted out with an over the air update, occasional stutter when opening app draw, gallery doesn't seem terribly smooth when going through photos and the auto rotate is just annoying me.

Other than the above I don't want people to read this and think it is doom and gloom because it isn't. This is a very very good device, I am glad I purchased it because it is still the best phone on the market in my opinion.

Every phone has its niggles but that is why this forum is so great, I am looking forward to the community baked roms which always make a device go from very good to just awesome.

To answer some question, you can't resize the search bar. Its not really a widget its sort of like the controls at the bottom, permanently there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
when typing does it type well, what I mean is it off when typing and you keep getting bad letters up, I had that problem with the SGS2 someone mentioned it was a screen problem that it kept jumping

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike freegan:
Nope, can't resize it. It's there permanently. You'd have to install another launcher.

Added a few more to the list, mainly to do with Bluetooth.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PCL_87:
Is FM radio working with Spirit FM Radio app?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jms.flynn:
Yeah it types really well, I don't think I have mistyped once on there and I type real fast.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luffyp:
Good lord. That's a lot of negatives. Thanks for the honest review for undecided minds like me. Just two questions. If you use a 3rd party launcher (for example adw) will the google search bar still be present? Secondly, how does the GPS perform in terms of fix time and accuracy? Does barometer really help GPS fix time? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shodney:
The GPS fix for me is very fast, easily within a second or so. Much faster than my Desire was, that's for sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
A lot of those negatives either will be resolved soon by Google or they won't be a problem for the majority of people
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
OP > when typing does it type well, what I mean is it off when typing and you keep getting bad letters up, I had that problem with the SGS2 someone mentioned it was a screen problem that it kept jumping

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] onthecouchagain:
Ugh.

This is going to be problematic with my live clock wallpaper that is displayed at the top of the screen. Anyone else use WP Clock?

Here's an example of the live wallpaper I'm talking about:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jms.flynn:
Well you have to bare in mind that ICS is a big over haul, so if we were to list all the positives it would be a pretty big list. I am just venting my negatives of the device, but when you compare them to how good the device is they really are small and I would rather have this handset than any other. I forked out for both my SGS2 and the Galaxy Nexus sim free and i am not dissapointed with either. If you are undecided on whether to upgrade you have to look at the fact that this phone does have everything, is a developer phone and has ICS written specifically for it. I would say go for it.

If you use a 3rd party launcher the Google search will not be present, my GPS has been excellent, I have used it for a few car journeys and it is just as good as my SGS2 which was superb.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luffyp:
Yep I know, ICS seems to be the biggest change among the previous Android versions. Together with Google & developers' support, it's why I want to jump ship to the Nexus line. At the moment I'm leaning towards it, just wanna read more reviews. Although the volume adjusting problem that many people are having is a bit of a concern. Hopefully it will be fixed by a software update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
Are either of you having this volume automatically adjusting down issue outlined in some other threads?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jms.flynn:
I personally have not had the volume issue, but bear in mind I have only had the phone for about 36 hours I have made a fair few calls on though and it is pretty clear.

Also just responding to what Mike said in regards to Bluetooth audio, mine is working fine with my Parrot system in my car.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] roban09:
I wonder how well it handles loud environments while recording video? Does the sound get all distorted like it does on the SGS2?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike freegan:
That's good about Bluetooth. My kit is about 3 years old so that might explain it.

I have had no issue with input accuracy, but am eagerly awaiting Swype.

I'm sure Google will tidy up most of the bugs soon, and I suspect Cyanogen will add the missing bits in.

The negatives list is long, but the phone is great. I just wanted to make it clear for people who may be assuming certain features will work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Djveneko:
Thanks for the review it was great and answered a lot of questions. Even with the list of negatives which is no big deal for me at least i still want this phone!!!! Im pretty sure they are going to fix these little issues soon. keep us posted.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SquareBare:
OP:

Would you mind telling us how well the Voice Actions respond to loud / noisy environments? That is my biggest complaint about my Xperia Play. Even with the 2ND Mic it handles noise very badly.

Could you try it on a busy city street? A crowded noisy room? Next to a construction site with lots of machinery? Or maybe on the highway with the windows down and the radio up?

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] John Markley:
yes, please do test this if you can. And, you indicated that USB mass storage is no longer available and you cannot see some hidden files..... are you oem unlocked and rooted?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pluto:
Thanks for the review man, you answerer a lot of questions.

I got a question though: How's audio through headphones?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oilfighter:
Thanks for the review.

Can someone with the Nexus report on the battery life? Perhaps also setup a test where you left it idle over a few hours, and see the idle drain/hour? (for example, while you are sleeping)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spinstorm:
I think that the nexus has terrible battery life.

This morning i spent fifteen minutes on this site and the battery went from fully charged to 84%!

in 15 minutes using wifi! the battery is 1750mah it shouldn't drop that fast.

Im going to get a bigger US nexus battery when it is available!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jms.flynn:
I don't think it is as good as my SGS2, but a light charge yesterday up to about 70% not charging over night I now 21hrs 33ms have 27% percent left and that is using it as I would normally plus a bit more.

7 Calls, a fair amount text messages, on the net a bit, taking pictures and videos.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xandermpls:
This post alone annoys me :/

Only because I am selling my HTC-MT4G and purchasing a DualCore phone and am leaning toward this or the Amaze. Spec-wise the Amaze seems to mash this phone.

The screen for viewing and ICS made this my first choice however, I am in Minneapolis and this is a big disappointment for me.

Is it worth the PRICE-TAG?

If I am paying as full retail for it wouldn't it make more sense to get another phone and wait for CM8 releases? Heh.

Considering I will be starting school on January 3rd for Mobile Application Development, (going to fullsail for my bachelors degree) and am an android enthusiast, it is a little of a let down.

Though again I do realize when the Nexus S came out that I did end up going with a G2 (that I still use :)

So I am not sure why I am not surprised, being that I am now going to be trailing into the development path, I think I may just stick to this phone,

Last 2cents,

Nexus S came out, no 4G,

Later-on a second version of the Nexus S came out with "4G"

I feel that Samsung/Google will release a 2nd version with a better camera and updated processor.

Thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spinstorm:
I want to be clear this phone is by FAR THE BEST android phone EVER.

The combination of the screen and ICS take the OS up to a level of polish matching iOS and Windows Phone.

Holding this phone is like admiring a work of magic. It has an enormous screen yet feels smaller than an iPhone. The beautiful curved glass without any buttons just continues to impress me.

This thread is picking the most intricate little details out of a wonderful phone. I have no doubt that Google are hard at work on an update that will fix lots of little niggling bugs and inconsistencies and I also think that we will see the battery life improve with use and I'm sure there will be a third party battery that fits under the existing cover that will give us more power.

You would regret NOT buying this phone more than you ever would buying it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jms.flynn:
+1 This is the best phone i have ever had.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crazy talk:
in order to lose 26% of it's battery life in 15 minutes the phone needed to be drawing 1.8Amps of current. that's not possible.

either you have a bad battery, or the software isn't reading the battery correctly.

most of the people here are being seriously OCD, i doubt anything would please them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
It lost 16% in 15min, not 26%, but still that's quite a bit of drain.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GiveMe2Beers:
Hi guys, any feedback about wifi range/ wifi handgrip?

Is wifi range bad as the "honest review" says? ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
If I may, could I ask about the People App. Do you HAVE to use Google+ with it, or will it work with the ordinary contacts stored on my SIM Card?

Also can I use Facebook or Twitter to sync pictures? If I do, does it just sync those contacts, or does it fill the whole list with twitter contacts which I don't want...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TonyHoyle:
By default the people app fills with twitter contacts (which is silly IMO since most of the people I follow on twitter I don't even know..) but you can switch that off in preferences.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] peacekeeper05:
I actually like the search bar being all over the place. So probably, it just preference.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crazy talk:
herpa derp. that's what i get for rushing and having a dozen tabs open.

even at 16%, the phone would still be consuming 1.1 amps. i wonder if this is the first battery run through he's done? thing's are going to stabilize after a few days. can't make any battery life conclusions in ~24 hours.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] peacekeeper05:
So the only major thing that bugs me out of all the negatives is the battery life. But I guess that is user dependent. And almost every one who has the galaxy nexus seems to agree that it is the best android phone if not the best smartphone ever. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Now I am more convinced that I will be getting this before before the holidays :) thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TonyHoyle:
It's not unheard of for a battery to go from 100% to the mid 90's pretty quickly if the calibration is off. After a couple of days it should settle down and be more accurate.

Battery life is very personal.. I get about 2 days out of my Nexus S.. I've heard people say they can't even make it last a day. It'll be exactly the same with the Galaxy Nexus - within days there'll be a thread full of people with wildly different results.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
you've only have said good things in all your post :rolleyes: somehow I don't believe what you are saying here :rolleyes:

sorry please don't take it personally ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spinstorm:
I do believe there is some calibration to be done so I will be keeping an eye on it over the week.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DarkVasyaK:
Guys, just compare please the battery life with SGS....

I am so tired to search for a charger after 1-2 hours of surfing the internet...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] King Shady:
Umm if I web-browsed for 5 hours on my GSII, then it would still be at like 20% left.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DarkVasyaK:
lucky you

SGS with MIUI firmware drains battery like a hell... And other roms are very laggy, for me...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jms.flynn:
Ha ha, no problem. I took a picture when I posted I just had to go out so didn't have time to post.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Would I be able to set it to sync with only my existing contacts? As on my current phone, selecting that option syncs EVERY SINGLE FOLLOWING PERSON on twitter.

I'd just like the about 10 contacts I have to use their Twitter profile, nothing more.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jms.flynn:
I would use a different rom, with Checkrom Rovolution I could get near 2 days out of mine and i use my phones for work so calling most of the day emails etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DammitCubs:
For a bunch of smart people at google, they don't really think when adding certain features.

Sync Contacts with Twitter? You serious? Do they really know what twitter is? How about custom sync with twitter based on groups?

Why does every company make this dumb mistakes? I wish I can be hired by microsoft, apple and google known as the ***** slap man. I slap anyone who makes a dumb idiotic move. My hand will the coated in baby powder.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _hyperdude:
Unless I'm wrong, your phone won't sync Twitter contacts if you don't have Twitter installed on your phone. And correct me if I'm wrong, but you can turn off that syncing in Settings. It's not forced upon you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
But with my previous experience on Android, selecting "sync with existing contacts" will still sync all your following people on twitter. I just want it to link with the ones I have. Does ICS not give this, I can't use G+.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fdm1:
wouldnt syncing contacts with twitter be something twitter would have implemented. I dont think google made the twitter app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _hyperdude:
Maybe you can delete the ones you don't want to have listed in People? I'll give this a try on my Xoom.

Update: In the Contacts app on my Xoom I get the option of picking what source for contacts to look at at one time. All contacts, Starred, twitter account, Google account, my linked Exchange account, etc. For the Twitter contacts, if I choose to delete a contact, it pops up:

"You cannot delete contacts from read-only accounts, but you can hide them in your contacts lists. [OK / Cancel]"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Hmm it seems better than mine. When I set mine up for this and go to delete, it will show ALL contacts in the delete list (even when I am just viewing twitter contacts). So I have to manually go through and make sure it does not delete the contacts stored on my SIM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Why baby powder? Does it make it sting more? Or is it a humiliation thing?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SeanFloyd:
Cause that's how pimp's do. Leaves some of that residue on the face to let them think about it a minute.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oilfighter:
I don't think that's baby powder....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike freegan:
Voice Actions is now basically useless for me. It won't work with my British accent so I'm unable to test this. Previous Voice Command worked fine.
