The kernel that is currently installed is "2.6.35.7-perf-CL562111" Ketut-lenovo #4. I am not sure if it is an OC kernel.

I installed SlaidFastMod v2, set governor to Smartass and min CPU frequency to 245 MHz and this fixed the issue! It's much smoother when unlocking.

Is it safe to tick the "Set on boot" setting for CPU settings?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kekspernikai:
Copied from another post I answered:

----

No one will likely be doing a one-click system since this is a Nexus. Manual root is superior, and it is incredibly easy with some light knowledge of fastboot and adb. Honestly, I feel like if you cannot find your way around rooting a Nexus, perhaps you should not root it. An understanding of the system really comes in handy if you face issues.

Just unlock the bootloader using fastboot (there are instructions for this everywhere), then boot to an insecure boot.img of some sort (superboot is an option, I used koush's ClockworkMod image). Once you have this, you can use adb to push superuser to the system partition. If you overwrite the recovery, don't worry, because there is a script that will overwrite with the stock recovery after each boot.

If you want ClockworkMod permanently installed you will have to rename/remove the script. I have not done this, as I just re-flash ClockworkMod every time I alter something.

Hope that helps.

----

The statusbar mods were part of either TouchWiz (added by Samsung) or a custom ROM you were running. There are mods for 4.0.3 that will add these but I have not tested them myself. If you can wait, CM9 will have them!

Apple has applied for a facial recognition patent. You know, the thing that ICS already does and the iPhone doesn't. Note, Apple hasn't received the patent, they applied for it AFTER ICS HAD ALREADY IMPLEMENTED IT. If they get it they are obliviously bribing someone.

Not sure if the article was updated after you read it or not, but it clearly states that Apple applied for the patent in June of 2010 which was long before ICS came out.

I don't think you can patent something that you have open sourced.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KCRic:
Update to that: The government has been using facial recognition for years now. Commercial and private businesses have been using it also. It's also been developed and used in consumer products like laptops for years. And I didn't think you could patent an 'idea' - you actually had to have a functioning prototype first which I highly doubt Apple had. They're just patenting every idea they **** out and it's getting annoying. Can I patent faster than light travel? I'm sure I can **** out a reasonably believable set of schematics to go along with it.

Prior art = no patent for Apple (at least that's the way it's made to work....)

I had the same issue plus I received the yellow triangle. After pouring through many of the threads I came upon, SFHUB 's thread using odin. I came close to softbricking my epic and became worried. I finally found his thread and Voila! My phone is working great and wifi restored.

As you can imagine there are a lot of different trix for these phones and lots of folks have different opinions. Sfhub <- thread rocks in my opinion. I'm an old guy and if I can do it anyone can.

I think the part I liked the best is the odin flash installs the original kernel/rom/modem and roots the phone at the same time. If you choose his other method you can install the og/flash with cwm... it's up to you but it worked perfectly for me.

If you ck out this thread you will find your fix and more... good

I finally decided and installed custom ROM onto my X8. GingerXperia V20.

Only to find out that it uses Contacts app from Android 2.1 and that was the reason for installing custom ROM in the first place.

The ROM it self is great so I would like to stay with it.

Is there a way to install newer version of Contacts app? The one that has sort by last name option! I'm still puzzled by fact that someone forgot to put this option. :D

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mysterioustko:
I have made a concerted effort to not reboot my phone for any reason so I can try to get an idea of if there are any performance differences in the phone after it being on without a reboot for an extended period of time. Some phones I've had in the past (such as the Sensation) would slow down after about 5 days of uptime, while other phones rarely could make it 5 days of uptime due to random reboots. Since I've decided to see how much uptime I could get on this phone without any performance differences, I've gotten to 150 hours. I haven't noticed any performance differences at all, and I have to say I am happy with the results thus far. What's your uptime, and have you noticed any changes in performance with longer uptime?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
On my nexus one I regularly got up to 450 hours of up time with zero issues. After a while I just ignored the test as it could go for over a month. I made a thread and all with lots of responses.

I'd guess that this galaxy nexus will be even better by far. They really seemed to have got android mature and stable.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mysterioustko:
It's very encouraging to hear so many long uptimes with no performance slowdown. It's also great because the long uptimes are a testament to how stable the phone is. The only time I've had a crash was when I installed something on the phone that didn't seem to play nice with ICS (can't remember which app it was).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] peoro:
A couple of weeks ago I bought myself my first android device (a cheap LG GT540), and since then I've been playing a lot with it.

Noticed that android hackers community is quite big and there are lots of tools which can do kind of anything, but sadly I'm kind of disappointed because I'm having some issues in understanding HOW things work: in order to root my device, install custom ROMs, resize partitions and so on, I had to use a few tools that I have no idea of what they're doing.

To me it looks like that in this forums it's much easier to find a GUI that does everything you need, rather than understanding what needs to be done and how to do it. IMHO this is bad for a community of hackers.

In particular I'd like to understand how the following tools work (both for personal knowledge, and because some of these only work on windows, and I'd like to port it on Linux), and if available, I'd love to put my hands on their source code:

SwiftBootloaderBuilder: it's a tool used to resize flash partitions. I'm prone to think that it might just be a frontend for fastboot, but hum, the fastboot binary I own seems to be missing the capability of handling partitions...

KDZ: it's a tool to upgrade the firmware which I had to use in order to install on my device a custom ROM with fastboot enabled. How the heck does it work? This tool forced me to find and use a windows system to hack my GT540...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] interloper:
Android Developers is a great place to get started understanding how Android works. There you will find much of what you need to know to get a BASIC understanding of Android. If you follow the guides and advice you can create a basic apk that does little except teach you. CyanogenMod wiki is also a great place to learn. One thing about Android is that is is very much like Linux built for specific hardware. Many, and I do mean many, of the same principles apply to both systems. Digital signatures, ownership privileges, file permissions, compiling from source, git, gerrit, google code etc, are all things that a developer runs into everyday working with open source software of any kind. Go to every place I mentioned, sign up, and start asking more questions. Learn C++ and JAVA. Join freenode irc and find some friends who will answer questions while you learn. XDA is the least resource for the development community. XDA is the expression of ALL the other resources. I am new to this also, and have done what I suggest, except the programming languages, which I am working on. Use root explorer to look at your device file system. Ask the developers of the tools you mentioned to help you understand them. A LOT goes on behind the scenes, but it takes a little direction and determination. Cheers!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netban:
Hi everyone, seasons greeting's and all that :)

So, I have successfully rooted my phone (after lots of reading etc) with the SpeedMod kernel which IMHO makes my phone fly, quite impressed indeed.

I'm unfortunately a novice and I am having trouble installing a ROM, although it works perfectly well when I have to flash back to stock with odin.

I completed the required wipes as suggested is always performed when installing new ROMs. I placed the zip (tried this with CheckROM and Hyperdroid on numerous occasions) on the internal memory (external 2gb memory still in situ) and via CWM proceeded to "install zip from sdcard" and then "choose zip from internal sdcard", the flash process took all of 1.5mins which I thought was far too quick.

When prompted, I reboot the phone with the option on CWM and basically get stuck at the image in the pic below, even after waiting 30-60mins :(

Any help greatly appreciated as I am really keen on trying some great ROMs from some great devs.

Many Thanks, Rizur.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
A clue ??

Copy custom rom zip xxxx .zip or whatever its called to internal sd card .

Boot to recovery cwm .

select Install zip from sd card .

choose zip from sd card or depending upon CWM version choose zip from internal sd card .

Navigate to named zip file xxxx.zip select then answer yes in the next window .

Should now install and boot .

If fails it would be worth checking your version of cwm and maybe even install a new cwm and root kernal or start over and wipe the phone .

Clean Slate for those that balls up the firmware .Or need to return to service or decide if its hardware/firmware problem .

Backup data first if phone is working .

Boot CWM recovery

Mounts and Storage

Format cache data system sd card .

Remove battery

Boot to download mode

Open Odin

Install correct stock firmware .

followed by cwm and root

then your custom rom of choice .

When I install the TouchWiz framework for MIUI on CyanogenMod 7, the internal storage mount point is changed from /mnt/sdcard to /mnt/emmc and vice versa for the external SD card.

How do I change this back, as the apps do not recognize my SD card when it is set up like this.

[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
Now here's a question for all of you:

What is the MicroSD Card that is included with your phone? I know it's a 16GB, but does yours have a company branded on it, and also what class is your SD card?

The reason I ask this is because I want to know if they switched the SD Card on my phone with a crappy one and took the good one just before I picked it up. The SD card that came with my phone is just a plain generic Class 2 card. CLASS 2!! It doesn't even have where it is made at. I'm thinking, are you serious?!?! The transfer rate is so horrible, averaging only at 1.5MBps. Takes me over 30 minutes to transfer about one 1GB of files.

My friend who got the rezound at least got a Class 4 card, even though it's generic and made in Taiwan. But his transfer rate is averaging at 15MBps.

So I just wanna double check with all of you and make sure we all have the same type of SD card.

p.s. Also, this could be the reason why the phone sometimes perform sluggishly. I have a feeling when it pulls anything from the SD Card, may it be a large app, music or videos etc, it will have to wait to read from it.

OH! could this be the MAIN reason behind the slow response when taking pictures? I read that this phone has a horrible camera speed, but it might be due to the SD Card being slow and can only write at very low speed to the card.
[LG Nitro HD] debugger919:
I also noticed the slow performance of the included micro sd card, and I can't even access it from my card reader, but only through the phone's "mass storage" mode. Anyway just ordered a Sandisk class 4 32GB card from amazon...
[LG Nitro HD] LiViD:
The default card that came with mine is a Class 4 8GB made by Kingston. It doesn't say Kingston on it, but I have an actual Kingston SD card to compare it to.
[LG Nitro HD] bmxant:
If that's the default save spot, then yes, that could possibly be the issue. How big are the pictures?
[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
8GB class 4?? wow that is small in size, although it is a class 4 card. Livid, is it because you are on Bell? Could this be carrier related? Also, how is your camera? Is it having that speed issue in between pictures?

bmxant, I took some pics and at full res, they average at around 1.3-1.5 MB, which is just right there with the speed, giving it a second or 2 delay in storing/saving them onto the sd card.
[LG Nitro HD] Namuna:
Sandisk Class4 16gb in mine. Mine was ordered and sent directly from AT&T site...I'm leaning toward them swapping out the card on yours.
[LG Nitro HD] bmxant:
If you're only writing at 1.5Mb's, that would definitely cause an extra second of lag. Would be nice if we could see a comparison between the Class 2 SD card vs Class 4.

How much cheaper could they get? It's bad enough the phone has 4GB of internal storage. They should of included either a 32GB Class 2, or 16GB Class 4.

Edit: Just read Namuna's post. Why would they swap out the card?
[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
Alright thanks, I just need some more confirmations and I can visit the store again and confront them with it. I will make them open a fresh box in front of me and check it, unless of course they've swapped all in that store lol!
[LG Nitro HD] LiViD:
@aquariuz23: It probably is carrier related. You guys got double on the SD storage and RAM storage versus what we got. I feel a little screwed in that regard, but meh.

For photo taking, it only took one second to snap the picture and store it on the card. The gallery took 5 seconds to read 84 pictures that were stored on the SD card.
[LG Nitro HD] bmxant:
That sounds pretty good, what does Antutu say your write speed is?
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
Topram Class6 16GB here. SD Tools report 18.5MB/sec read and 5.5MB/sec write, which is pretty accurate for C6. (btw, card manufactured in 2009)

This phone I bought used, can't confirm the card is the original.
[LG Nitro HD] LiViD:
6.3 MB/s write and 13 MB/s read. It's about average for a Class 4 SD card.
[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
what do u guys use to test the read/writes of the sd card? I wanna do a test on mine as well.
