I'm heading to Bangkok with a short layover in Seoul in a couple weeks. I've done research about maybe getting the Korean version.....but it looks like they're contract only. I wanted the extra larger battery.

I'll probably end up buying it in Thailand. I think I can get it for about $590 US (19,900 baht less 7% VAT). No contract, unlocked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Arrio:
It was made available since Dec 14th.

Yes sir, using it on mobilicity right now, which has the same band as tmo.

I recommend getting it from wai shen (衛訊), broadway or fortress.

how to flash GN to hongkong version?

i just buy GN on amazon, and i need to flash with chinese language.. is posible to flash to hongkong version? without root?

any tuto please help me im new on android.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] droid_does:
isn't there a chinese language/system language by default in settings?

I don't think you can flash to a different ROM without rooting as if I remember; cooked ROM's are pre-rooted

but you should be able to change firmwares through fastboot flashing; thought I'm unsure about that

bumpin' this up for an expert to step in

hi. i just bought a GN from wai shen (衛訊), but the invoice didn't have WCDMA 1700. it only has 850/900/1900/2100. that means i can't use tmo's 3G??

How terribly difficult is it to remove the screen from housing? I've got some experience with disassembling electronics and what not but very nervous. I'm looking to remove just the housing to make it white. Just wondering how much prying does it take.

Thanks for the help.

I've read that its fairly difficult. Check this out: http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung-Galaxy-Nexus-Teardown/7182/1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spywhite:
I would imagine removing the glass is a lot like the galaxy s2. I used a good blow dryer, warmed up the screen (from the front) around it's edges, ran a guitar pick around it and pull it off with a good suction cup. I haven't taken my nexus apart yet, and probably won't unless I drop it in water or something else horrific happens to it.

Like a lot of smart phones, it's usually the screen that's the trickiest to remove. I don't mess with the glass unless I have to.

[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] -HellRaiser-:
why not try a custom rom which is already rooted?

most of the custom roms have the features more than what gb 2.3.6 have.

if you still want to root try this:-

No, CWM store to external micro sd card only at the moment.

Think about it, what if something happen to your TF and you need to do a nandroid restore. Anything on the internal sd card might not be accessable

or in case were you need to wipe your tablet, your nandroid files will be gone.

[Kindle Fire General] Stevethegreat:
Hi, the reasons I've bought the Kindle Fire was that I wanted a cheap tablet on one hand (whilst it's quite capable HW-wise) and it's ability to be customized (it's capacity to have 3rd party roms on it, etc) on the other. On that second point I'm sure that the community will work its magic in the coming months: my dilemma however is with what I should do with the Fire I *currently* have...

I've received it a couple of days ago and I found out that the vanilla ROM seems quite alright on in itself. It seems limited, but as long as one roots and installs the Market (almost) the whole of Android force is unleashed. The UI is not always functional but it does feel as a breath of fresh air in a landscape which is tatterered with clones of the same thing (Google's UI)...

Anyhow the purpose of this thread -as the topic title states- is to weigh whether the installation of CM7 on KF is a justifiable move (given what we have at hand) for everyday use. I do own other android devices as well and installing CM flavours there was -often- an easy move given the benefits (more hardware capabilities, cleaner/faster UI, etc).

But on KF things seem to be less clear cut. For one CM7 doesn't seem to do more than what the stock rom already achieves in either the hardware side of things (no new "function" is enabled) *or* the software side (the lag is still there, and Amazon has/had already done an admirable job to keep her device working without the need of any physical buttons).

So my question is to those who already made the move to CM7 for daily usage. Was it worth it for any non experimental purposes? Were there any discernable benefits compared to stock? (I mean considering how the situation is right *now*, not how things *can* be).

Thanks for your attention and sorry for the length of this post, it's only that this is the first time that I find myself in front of such a dilemma. Before KF I would often install CM on my device no questions asked, but now things seem less clear cut. Your opinions will be valued - again, thank you.
[Kindle Fire General] The Anthem:
For everyday use i find CM7 more useful simply because the Fire launcher is convoluted. Nothing you cant achieve with a launcher, however launchers tend make pior use of the sceeen real estate. Also no need to worry aboit the root removing OTA updates.

The only downside i have with CM7 right now is the lacl of volume softkeys
[Kindle Fire General] Stevethegreat:
Hmm, but how can a mere launcher be the whole reason to change a Rom? Why can't -one- siimply install one from the market?
[Kindle Fire General] gett:
IMHO, this is the main reason to install CM7.

There is workaround for this, I do not remember, but somewhere in the forum
[Kindle Fire General] GBH2:
The only reason I haven't tried CM7 is that I have had Amazon Prime for a long time and like to use Amazon's services.

"Volume Control" from the Android Market is great - it puts a volume slider that auto-hides on the edge of the screen.
[Kindle Fire General] Winglerw28:
Pros: It does everything the kindle does at stock and then more (If you want to use emulators and games, I would recommend it).

Cons: It is hard to set up the stock amazon apps on CM7, although possible. There is also a small chance of bricking your device if you do everything totally wrong and for some reason (like not following directions) cannot unbrick using the known methods.

The main difference for me has been that I can use different PDF software to read PDFs more clearly and that I can play emulators on it.
[Kindle Fire General] ethantarheels123:
A con for cm7 right now is the CPU constantly being at 1008mhz when wifi is on...at least for me. I tried the mac address fix but it didn't work.
[Kindle Fire General] FoibleOfHumanity:
For me I feel CM7 gives you that tablet feel more so than the Amazon UI. Having customization is always one of the main things I look for. I do have Amazon Prime however I hardly use any of their services besides the shipping. (Netflix > Amazon Instant Video)

Also if you do everything right and make a back up of your stock, you can always revert back to it if you don't like what you see.
[Kindle Fire General] Sandman21dan:
The browser is smother on cm7 silk loads a bit faster, but the scrolling feels smoother on cm7, also in stock firmware when you go full screen you cant get rid of the gray bar, on cm you can hide it and show it as much as you want.

How ever... i feel that battery life is a bit shorter, but not much, I don't know if anyone else has that feeling.
[Kindle Fire General] androidcues:
there are no cons to CM7. ITS THE GREATEST software. I just got finished with ice cream sammich and that is boring as heck. Flashing back to CM7 and leaving my Vision in the ice cream.

[Kindle Fire General] jonjryjo:
I am running CM7 as a daily ROM at the moment, and I can say that it is much better than the Amazon stock ROM. When running stock you have to worry about OTA updates that can potentially remove root access and prevent it from being acquired again (until a workaround is found). Also, for me at least, CM7 seems to run much better than the stock ROM did, with little to no lag.
[Kindle Fire General] ragul40:
Even if you have Amazon Prime you can use Amazon services still. You just have to download the apps onto CM7. I have done this, but I forgot where I got the apk files.
[Kindle Fire General] The Anthem:
A couple more notes on CM7 v Stock

I no longer have the issue where the Fire wont wake and I have to hold power for a reboot.

Inputs seem more responsive, I no longer have to press things multiple times or them to work, mainly back button was problematic.

Much greater app compatibility in the Marketplace.

Also, thanks for he volume control, just what I needed.
[Kindle Fire General] GBH2:
Interesting. I may have been misinformed. I have Amazon Prime, have for years. I realize that I can still install the Kindle app and other Amazon apps, but can I still receive Amazon Prime free Streaming videos and free Kindle owners lending library, etc. if I switch over to CM7?
[Kindle Fire General] closurez:
I rooted just the other day, I run cm7 on all my other devices, I do not have interest in it beyond the app swap option and swipe lock screen. The stock build + market is all I need at this point. When cm7 develops into a fully stable option I will certainly switch but for now I don't reccomend it.
[Kindle Fire General] Pkt_Lnt:
Oh! you have no idea what you are missing. Stable as can be, faster, more apps. All you lose is VOD and some claim to have that working.

CM7 is totally stable. Its CM9 that is in prealpha.
[Kindle Fire General] fulvi3tto:
i agree, CM7 works very good on Kindle Fire.
[Kindle Fire General] xraytedjim:
They both have their pro's and cons. Someone mentioned previously that CM7 for the fire DOES seems like my phone thats stretched. The stock interface is something new and seems more polished. However, you can DO more with CM7 and you have the best of both worlds between the Amazon App store and the Google Market. Since I'm so used to CM on my phone, it's much smoother navigating now on the tablet. I like to tinker, so CM7 is for me. It's not the easiest thing in the world to put on there if you have no clue what you are doing, but it's not rocket science either.
[Kindle Fire General] closurez:
Hmm I mustve been mistaken, is flash working? VOD not working doesn't really bother me
[Kindle Fire General] CiggyPipe:
CM7 definitely isn't as sharp as the stock ROM as previously mentioned, but for the Android Market and the potential for customization, it's a small price to pay. I've had one instance of the KF freezing after waking up from sleep even on whistlestop's latest build, though.
[Kindle Fire General] Pkt_Lnt:
Yes, for me it is. I just downloaded it from the market.

I can't post links, but search for flash player, and it is version 11.
[Kindle Fire General] hrbib21:
I bought the Kindle Fire for myself right after Christmas with the sole intention of turning it from an Amazon tablet into an Android tablet and I've accomplished that with CM7. I thought about simply installing Market and leaving it at that but if I'm going that far, why not go the whole way. I'm happy.
[Kindle Fire General] Pkt_Lnt:
Exactly what I did, except I got it for myself before. Since I run CM7 on my phone and it made such a huge difference, that little nagging voice kept wondering what the Fire would be like with CM7. Well, now I know and I am three times more pleased than I was when I got it. This thing rocks!
[Kindle Fire General] NickDG:
I'm running the pre-alpha not 100% working version of the ICS build on the Fire and I am really impressed how well it is working considering how early of a build it is. I think once this ROM is cleaned up it will turn the Fire into an awesome little Android trablet for a price that can't be beat.
[Kindle Fire General] jerry247:
I am running a rooted kf with go launcher. I have market and kindle launcher so I can use the kindle.library and prime videos. I had cm7 on it, but it just felt like my phone. I like the stock kindle store. Cm7 has hardware acceleration, I believe, and that's the only reason I might go back. Honestly I have not tried the kindle fire apps (launcher,video,lending library) on cm7.
[Kindle Fire General] nrfitchett4:
Pretty sure you have to unroot or hide your root with that app to get certain services working. I'm happy with stock for now.
[Kindle Fire General] liquidicem:
Can some one confirm for me whether or not you can use the kindle lending library while running CM7? Thanks!
[Kindle Fire General] borborpa:
No you cannot. It does not work on the market version of Kindle.
[Kindle Fire General] liquidicem:
Well, that's unfortunate. That's going to be the one thing keeping me on stock for a while I guess.
[Kindle Fire General] Pkt_Lnt:
Just a quick FYI for those on CM7. I just found out via a post in the CM7 developer thread here that you can watch VOD using the web browser and set the user agent to Linux Desktop. I just tried it and no problem.

[Kindle Fire General] lakotacrofut:
I am having serious trouble with my Kindle Fire running CM7. I engaged in root method and flashed the rom without any major issues other than those regarding drivers.

My Kindle has an extremely hard time booting up at the moment. It will take 3-4 tries minimum and the button can go unresponsive at times when I am not even able to attempt a boot. When the yellow screen does pop it usually shuts off the first couple of times before getting to the CM7 boot animation.

During regular use as well the Kindle will shut off randomly but this does not happen nearly as often.

Any ideas what could cause this? Should I flash CM7 again?
[Kindle Fire General] Pkt_Lnt:
Yes, I would re-flash. Wipe the cache and dalvik at the minimum. If you have any apps backed up with Ti Backup, then wipe system too, all the instructions for first time install. It will boot slow the first time, and then get faster each time. I did see that once with an update that @whistlestop released that had a couple bugs.

Mine now boots so fast, including TWRP, that I can get distracted for a second and miss the whole process, when doing a backup and new update flash. :)
[Kindle Fire General] lakotacrofut:
I didn't do a fully system wipe but cleared my cache and dalvik before flashing a newer version of the ROM. It was super slow on the first boot but I haven't had any issues booting or randomly turning off. So far, so good!
[Kindle Fire General] LanceDiamond:
Fire rooted with Go Launch, Beautiful Widgets the root backup/hide app and AppLocker and modified hosts file to block OTA updates (not worried at all about an update.)

Wondering the same stuff about CM7 and thinking I will stay put for now. Btw my lock screen background and wallpaper are live koi and don't change. I stumbled across directions using Root Explorer to change permission on one file to stop that happening. :)
[Kindle Fire General] efalis:
But you only need to root to install android market (you can unroot afterwards).

[Kindle Fire General] eoy4:
Hello! Some cons to CM7 that I've found so far:

- Some apps in the market show as incompatible now... They were compatible with the stock ROM. For instance "dolphin browser HD", "the sims 3", "tank riders", "nook color tweaks" among many others. I've side-loaded some of those, but it's nice to have them update via the market and available in the "cloud" if ever I need to do a fresh install...

- Stock ROM's taskbar has quick access to wifi, brightness and volume as well as other useful stuff, which cm7's taskbar lacks. There are some work-arounds though

- The phone apps which are annoying and do not work on the KF. If you don't uninstall them they even drain your battery more quickly

- I like the stock rom's grayish menus better than cm7's black-and-white ones.

- Hate the cm7 boot animation... But that's just me XD

The Pros outweigh the Cons by far tough, so I'll continue to use CM7 until CM9 is at least as stable and "mature".
[Kindle Fire General] Pkt_Lnt:
Under Settings > Cyanogen Mod settings > Performance, there is a check box to disable boot animation. First time without it I got a little antsy with the long blank screen. :o

In the Market, apps by RubberBigPepper give you on screen volume and brightness controls.

You can load different themes and get different menu color and more. Search market for cm7 themes. Also there is an ICS theme.

[Kindle Fire General] andTab:
I personally like stock + launcher GO for now.

Once CM9 comes out, that opinion might change but the stock menus (eg for wifi, sound, brightness) are much better than CM7.

After some experience with CM7 on the Nook color, I also prefer the stability of stock (so far).

There is alot of settings to set but you can turn it into what ever you like.

Ok so since j cant seem to get twrp installed I have just gone with go launcher and root. Ii really don't see much of a difference between it and cm7 from the surface. Not to mention you can use the kindle reader and the silk browser is pretty damn silky I must say. I guess ill wait till they figure out a new way to get fff and twrp loaded before I bother with it any more.
[Kindle Fire General] Pkt_Lnt:
They appear similar but performance is much better with the CM7 ROM, speaking from direct experiance. Much faster and smoother. The reader IS nicer than the kindle app, but I can live with that. I still watch Amazon VOD in the browser with it set to Linux desktop add user. I have SlideIT keyboard installed. I am very satisfied.

I liked CM7 a lot better than stock, but ended up going back to stock so I could play Order and Chaos, the main reason I bought the fire in the first place.

I am sure that with enough build.prop tinkering, I could probably get OnC running on CM7, but I found surprisingly little information on getting this done.

I'll take some time soon and figure it out though as CM7 was nice.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mdalacu:
For this to work you nerd root.

One method is to install OSMonitor. Now, in settings activate root mode. Find the process of your launcher (android.process.acore) and if you press watch logs you need to see some info about your launcher namespace (there are multiple processes but you have to pick the right one). Now just press it again and renice (Nice Level) it to -19. Enjoy :)

For example i have provided some screenshots to make GO LauncherEX smoother.

Please provide some feedback.
