[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wynthewun:
This morning I excitedly got a notification to update to 4.02. Installing update failed when phone rebooted to recovery and I got a red exclamation mark over the little Android.

My phone has been rooted with CMW installed. I know I lot of you will be thinking "just flash a different ROM" but the truth is I don't like any of the Roms currently available.

Did my update fail because of CWM? Or am I making a super noob mistake? Please help :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] badassirocz:
yes CWM will cause update to fail the install. Flash the stock recovery img through fastboot if you want OTA's

---------- Post added at 03:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:05 AM ----------

download the stock system image files from google and extact it to find the recovery.img

- copy the recovery.img file to the directory that contains your fastboot utility

- start-up a terminal/command session

- put your phone into fastboot / bootloader mode

- type the following fastboot command to flash the stock recovery:

Code:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NoEnd:
Thank you very much, i had the same problem this morning, the update disappeared so will it get back when i flash the recovery?

plus my launcher is modified will it affect the update?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] badassirocz:
it should come back if you check for updates in the system menu. If not it might take a few days to show back up from what I have heard. The launcher will not effect OTA's.

Please hit the thanks button if I helped

having this issue

I am having this issue also, but I didn't flash cwm into my phone, I only fastboot it, will this also cause this problem, or because I rooted my phone and on locked it, really need help.

thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jd1001:
It won't work because you are rooted. The install looks for the stock bootloader. You don't have the stock bootloader because you rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhuynh:
You are WRONG. Stop telling people wrong info. CWM is what caused the failure. Root doesn't mean you changed your bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jd1001:
Yeah apologies! I got my wires crossed. Thanks for clearing it up for me. I wasn't sure if it was the bootloader or the custom recovery. Thanks again and sorry for misleading anyone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] formula1210204:
reply

thanks for reply, but as I said, I didn't flash CWM into my phone, I just boot it, in this case, it will also making this problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
So, to clear this up for noobs (like me!)

If I root my Nexus, but keep it all stock, will I still get OTA updates?

If so, will an OTA update remove the root?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jd1001:
The update won't work because you will be using a different recovery when you root. So the update does not install at all.

However the benefits of rooting will allow you to have the latest Google updates thanks to the hard work of devs here. So root and get romming!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Diger36:
If you just root the Phone and keep it complete stock (including Stock recovery, so not CWM) then OTA should work. I'm not sure about removing root though but I guess the OTA would not remove root. And if it does: It is easy to re-root isn't it? :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhuynh:
The OTA should work if you didn't install CWM recovery or something like flashing a different radio. It removes root but you can easily re-root. I have not received 4.0.2 yet but when I received the volume fix update OTA I did not have any issues with it even though I was rooted. I just had to re-root after the update.

If anyone is interested these MIUI lockscreens are qHD, which is what our screens are. They work perfectly.

I know the being locked out panic feeling,not fun! I used to have a Samsung Captivate with MIUI and loved all the themes/lockscreens. I was disappointed when the lockscreens didn't fit right on the Atrix, so I went on a hunt and found that the evo 3d and some others also have qHD screens.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] mdegat01:
Not working for me

Am I doing something wrong? I can't get any themes I download for miui to appear in my local themes window. I can download them online and they (mostly) work (with the exception of the ones where the lockscreen is offcenter, that makes sense now). But if I download them elsewhere and move them into my /sdcard/miui/theme folder they don't appear, even if I click import theme and go select them.

I figured I was downloading incompatible themes but with the list of qHD ones that can't be it. Anyone have any ideas what is going on?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] wahbob:
If it is just a lockscreen , you have to go to themes then click customize at the bottom, then hit lockscreen. Sometimes what you download might not be a complete theme so it's not going to show in themes, but will in the customize menu.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] aideneisley3:
thank you!
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] sotodefonk:
For those who dont know, you can unlock manually any miui lockscreen pressing back+volumeup.

It supposed to be at the same time, but I have better luck keeping back pressed, and then pressing volume up.

In the future, stuff like this could be better served in the dev section for the respective ROM..imagine how many pointless threads there would be if everyone decided to post their numbers and their loyalty to the ROM they use in a new thread...see where I'm going with that.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshoon:
Hi there,

I was wondering if anyone could help me.

I would like to play games like Arma II and Hockey Nations 2011 THD.

This should work with NVIDIA Tegra, and you have to use Chainfire3D for it, well that's what this thread is saying: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1336314

I installed Chainfire3D with the NVIDIA plugin, but the games still doesn't run.

Textures won't show up, or with Hockey Nations the textures are messed up.

Does anyone know what could be the problem?

Because this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1336314 says it should be possible to play these games on our Note.

Thanks in advance!

This might be a big help for Devs!!!

http://developer.android.com/design/patterns/index.html
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
not exactly as you think

that is for Apps/Games coding & design, not so much for ROM cooking

the only thing our ROM Devs can take out from that is to updated their current Tweakers or any Apps to use the same look and design

that basically goes to the Tweaker from Juggernaut, and CWR apps needs to be updated by Koush and TitaniumBackup needs to be updated by its Dev, etc...

but it's optional, they can choose not to follow that look that Google wish people to follow

Until recently while reading the cyanogenmod thread, I had never figured out how to use github to find nightlies changelog, to weigh the pros and cons of flashing. I have been checking these sites pretty often and here are the changelogs:

Gingerbread

Simplified version http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=epicmtd

changelog working again

ICS Github

Disclaimer: Please note that I am not a developer of epic mtd cyanogenmod, nor a developer in general. I may may mistakes because I am not as informed as the rest of you. I only know what is posted in this which as aprosammuarai states is not merged. It is used simply as a place holder and as such will not be as representative to their cm9 progress as it could be. Even so this github could be interesting to follow.

http://review.cyanogenmod.com./#q,status:open+project:CyanogenMod/android_device_samsung_epicmtd+branch:ics,n,z

This is pretty big progress: http://review.cyanogenmod.com./#change,11663

I know its preliminary, but still exciting.

Hopefully Jt1134's comment helps them.
[Epic 4G General] xboxfanj:
Two more things:

Preliminary kernel change too: http://review.cyanogenmod.com./#change,11662

And to the OP: please update your post to include links to kernel changes too. those are called something with victory. I think its android_kernel_samsung_victory.
[Epic 4G General] jnadke:
1. ICS was forked automatically for us (as I understand).

2. All of the current changes are for Galaxy S devices in general (updating the graphics drivers, etc).

3. We'd still have a fair bit of work to do to rectify our own set-up to ICS, since we deviate from the other Galaxy S devices by a lot (we're the misfit at the current moment).
[Epic 4G General] irule9000:
I agree with the poster above that those are a general ics kernel change, I was posting specifically about the ICS epic mtd branch and if you can show me where that applies to us helping on ics ill update my post, for now Ill add it, though
[Epic 4G General] xboxfanj:
Epic=Victory

Victory kernel changes are epic cm kernel changes. So all those changes are epic specific or not used by all Galaxy S devices because they use a different touchscreen driver for AOSP. And also, jt1134's comments could help them a lot because he posted a possible way to fix touchscreen (using the Charge's kernel because we use the same AOSP touchscreen driver). Their commits aren't that interesting per-se, but jt1134's comments are because he contributed greatly to the other galaxy s devices and ours (helped deca on cm7), and got many galaxy s devices ics. So if he can help epic on cm7 and other devices on cm9, he can help epic on cm9.

Also, jnadke, are you still working on ICS?
[Epic 4G General] irule9000:
My appologies xbox, op updated
[Epic 4G General] xboxfanj:
You're ok. Don't worry. No need to apologize. And you're right. Not particularly interesting commits, but the comments should help because we use the same touchscreen driver and gpu drivers as the charge (which is what jt1134 linked to) so that means touchscreen should be working soon most likely which is a big deal considering how ics uses different touchscreen drivers than gb so its harder but now that charge has it, the devs should be able to use that.
[Epic 4G General] AproSamurai:
Those changes are not merged yet as they are just placeholders until another patch set is pushed.

[Epic 4G General] xboxfanj:
UberPinguin said we use the same gpu and touch drivers as the charge, so that should be helpful since jt1134 just released cm9 for charge.

I've been using one of these (bought the 2 pack with charger) for roughly 6 months, and have been very pleased with it.

I can't confidently say that it is much better than a NEW stock battery, but considering my stock battery was over a year old, the Anker definitely improved my battery life, vs the stock old one.

I was hesitant about buying a non OEM battery, but I'm very pleased with mine, and for the cost was well worth it.

[EVO 4G Accessories] oOflyeyesOo:
Got it in today!!

The charger is interesting, it should fit just about any battery as the prongs will slide left and right, where ever the + and - is on the battery. Then also the bottom part that holds the battery is on a spring and you just pull down the length of the battery.

It charged one of the to 89% pretty fast, probably an hour. Had to take it off for a emergency call.

Ill be able to give a better test soon. I need a fresh flash of CM7 anyways, too much bog and FC's. Probably not good when the main process FC's.
[EVO 4G Accessories] oOflyeyesOo:
I am still running the same battery that I took off the charger when I made that post. I am at 1 day and 3 hours with 30% left. I haven't really been making any calls, just some txts, most of it was me playing around and flashing different things to make my ICS experience better, using drew's P7. The battery went down fast from 89% till about 60%, but the other battery I got took about double the time to fully charger than with how long this battery has been in my phone. I am excited so far, looks very promising. I think this was a worthwhile purchase, simply for the wall charger, to charge any phone battery!
[EVO 4G Accessories] oOflyeyesOo:
I'm getting pretty great results with these batteries. I haven't been using my phone too much and lots of idle time. I took a fresh battery off at midnight and went right to sleep. I slept most of the day. When I got up it was at 81 I think after 14 hours. I used my phone here and there for some texts and some small phone calls. I started installing lots of apps and played around with Widgets and settings, it popped down to 59 around that time. I installed juice defender also and I think it only went down a few notches all night till the morning. I haven't done much today besides a couple dozen texts a short and then 20 min call. I'm updating a bunch of apps right now while typing this, its lagging a bit so its slow and took me a few min and lost 1% but I'm also updating 11 apps at once :-p

I am running drews P7, I have been running unvisible tweaks, but I just installed the nifty tweak zip and popped in a fresh battery, so this may be even better battery life now that I got juicedefender and the nifty tweaks. Cant wait to see! Im also thinking about running one of the KANG CM7 roms, as I already got about this with stock battery, I think it could last 3 days if I went back to CM7. God, I can't wait for CM9 and custom kernels!!

Here is what my current up time is.

[Kindle Fire General] grhomes:
Hey guys-

Think I've done it this time. I have a paperweight aka kindle fire that isn't recognized by adb. It shows up as a device in windows as a kindle when I plug it in, but nothing beyond that. I have searched high and low and found no other post/forum that mentions my issue or shows a working fix...

When I plug in the kindle to the computer, I get a green light on the power button, (I suppose indicating the kindle is charged) and if I hold down/push the power button when it is plugged in, nothing happens. If it is unplugged, I can push the power button, it turns green, and after two seconds, it turns off again. No yellow fire triangle, no nothing on the screen. I have used the kfu utility 25+ times without a hitch, trying out all the cool stuff around the forums, and never run into a problem like this. If I could just get windows or adb to recognize the device, I could easily fix the problem myself, I just can't get it to that point.

If anyone has any ideas I would really appreciate it-

EDIT: It seems as if the backlight is stuck in the on position...hard to tell but i'm pretty sure thats what it is...the screen is obviously black and you cant tell unless your in a closet...
