Ok, I'm an idiot ... Sorry for the last question. I just recognized by myself that the radio version is part of the basebrand version.
[HTC Sensation] attblekm:
Yes, and this is an important distinction - the radio is included in the firmware, but is not included in the rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anoose:
Hello everyone,

I've been only using iphone for last 3 years or so and I finally decided to switch over to android after big disappoint from the iPhone 4s release. Now that I have the Galaxy Nexus sitting in front of me, I have some questions that I would like to ask.

1)What is the best Custom Rom that's out there for Galaxy Nexus?

2)Is there a way to overclock the galaxy nexus?

3)Any tips and advices for someone who switched from iOS?

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Valynor:
My tip would be to unlock it now and then use stock ICS for a while. :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] trilogee:
Highly agree with this post...it is an absolutely great phone so before messing with custom ROMs play with stock for a few weeks.

Yes it can be overclocked but that will impact battery life.

Also if you're familiar with the flashing process you might want to convert to yakju to ensure prompt ota updates. I was on yakjuux for months and it wasn't pushed to me but the moment I flashed yakju it came.

Bear in mind some users including myself experienced significant lag and a few bugs on the 4.0.2 image...reverted back to 4.0.1 and will likely wait till 4.0.3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FatherD:
Hi there, firstly.. Welcome aboard!

I have been using Android full time, but there has always been an iphone around.

I would highly recommend Paul O'Brien over at MoDaCo as a supplier of some of the most stable and reliable Roms I have used, he currently has a 4.0.2 based rom with 4.0.3 parts and compatibility. Options in the 'kitchen' (if you sign up for the low cost Add Free membership) include overclock and undervolt kernels, the 'bake' procedure is smooth and reliable, the community as friendly and knowledgeable as here at the excellent XDA.

Enjoy the freedom and customisable nature of Android :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
To go with the above, unlock the bootloader before setting the phone up as unlocking WILL wipe all data. Once unlocked, you can use it as normal and be able to back it up before flashing something new
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwang:
I'd go with a pure 4.0.3 rom like bigxie and pair it with franco kernel. 4.0.3 has significant performance improvements over 4.0.1/4.0.2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tjotte:
I'm unlocked and rooted.. waiting for official CM9 release, only then will i flash a new kernel along with the ROM.. but stock ISC is still new enough and really nice :) welcome to the community!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cordell507:
Also buy titanium backup, its a rom flashers best friend
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anoose:
okay, so i was able to load up the android revolution HD rom on my phone. now is there a thread about overclocking? i would like to see how far i can push this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cordell507:
For overclocking you first have to have a kernel that supports it which I think ARHD does but you also have to download an app, the best is set CPU which is free to xda users just google it and then in setcpu you just move the sliders to the desired clock speed, but be aware some phones can't handle higher clock speeds and will randomly shut off, if this happens the turn the speed down and also higher clock means more performance which means larger battery drain
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anoose:
Okay, I will look into that. Thank you.

Also, is antivirus/spyware app necessary for Android? I didn't need one for my iPhone but I am not sure about GNEX
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cordell507:
as long as you don't downloaded pirated apps your good, thats really the only plave malware will be
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pachi72:
Before anything root and buy Titanium Backup.. Best app for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cordell507:
+1 on titanium backup

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phistachio:
I have an idea, which worked on another thread, not sure if it will in this thread.

Flash this : http://www.multiupload.com/WDOO81L5H6

If successful, flash this recovery package, which is KI3, just like the kernel http://hotfile.com/dl/130600047/b70801e/I9100XXKI3.rar.html

Report back if it doesn't work, and good luck! :)

If that doesn't work, flash the old bootloader : http://www.multiupload.com/LQQBRQVJUD in either the PDA or Bootloader section in ODIN. If that is successful, flash the Kernel again, and then the XXKI3 recovery package I gave you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwatson:
good work.. thanks!:D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phistachio:
Did it work? :D

If so, which method? Kernel -> Recovery package or Bootloader -> Kernel -> Recovery Package?
[HTC EVO 3D] shawayne21:
I have the Evo 4G.

I'm wondering if I should sell it and get the Evo 3D.

What are the pro's and con's of the Evo 3D?

Is it worth upgrading?

How so?

Thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] tailsthecat3:
Yes. Do it.

Not mentioning anything prior, I went from an evo 4g to nexus s 4g(which is negligibly faster and much more efficient), to an evo 3d.

Im happy. the evo 3d is very fast, everything I RUN is buttery smooth. I say run because the launcher is a bit choppy but when running an app or game that has the foreground, its fantastic. I force the launcher into memory via build.prop(if it actually does anything) and increase the dalvik vm heap size to 48m
[HTC EVO 3D] Notorious:
Breaks my heart :c
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
Ya jump onto the EVO 3d. Smooth like everyone says.
[HTC EVO 3D] Terepin:
Smooth is very relative. But, when we get ICS with Sense 3.5, it'll be as smooth as ****! And it'll lasts longer. Q2 is the time frame I believe.

Thanks for all your opinions guys!

Would like to hear a little more :D

Any flaws?
[HTC EVO 3D] louforgiveno:
So...then, you don't have a SGSII ? hmmmm.
[HTC EVO 3D] RDS9119:
I cant say much about the 4G, only because i choose the 3D over the 4G. I did it mainly because i have friends with each, and a couple that had both. They all recommended the Evo 3D, and i liked the specs of it. (i Had a Desire)

As I "play" with it I am very much impressed with it. Today I accidentally found out that i can stream all the music from my laptop to it, loving that options. I love the virtual voicemail thing. The 3D camera/corder, well i like it, I dont have a 3D TV nor to i intend to get on any time soon, but I am enjoying it on the phone. I did some software update yesterday, and since then my battery life is a HUGE improvement. I could charge it all night and by 1230-1pm i was yellow, so far today after update, i have yet to charge it and ive been playing-- I mean exploring all the other things im reading about with.

Personally the Evo 3D is an AWESOME phone and i wouldnt trade it.
[HTC EVO 3D] shawayne21:
Yes, I have the International SGS2 as my main device, and also several other phones including the Evo 4G, the Vibrant, an LG Thrill, a sensation, and a couple more :p
[HTC EVO 3D] louforgiveno:
Ok, I've owned both devices...I love the 4g (dimensions & kickstand) and the radio (3g/voice) is better than the 3d, but the resolution, dual core, and internal space is all alot better with the 3d. It got to a point, right before I got the 3d, that the 4g just started to feel laggy, got the 3d and it's worth the upgrade.
[HTC EVO 3D] twiztidninja:
The main flaw of the evo 3d is the network its on.
[HTC EVO 3D] shawayne21:
That shouldn't be a problem

Let's just say, instead of Sprint, the phone will be on Verizon prepaid.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoopahMan:
I've installed Fresh ROM on my Evo Shift 4G. It worked for about a week, then the GPS stopped working (a known bug with this device and Gingerbread). I restarted the device as normal, and when it came back up all my downloaded apps and the Market were gone, and the device was in that strange indeterminate state where I'm both synced to a Gmail account and not at the same time (the Setup app appears in the Apps folder). Signing in doesn't help.

I rebooted into Clockwork Recovery (3.2.0.1), wiped data/factory reset, wiped the cache, wiped dalvik, and installed Fresh ROM again.

Once that was complete and booted, I signed in, attempted to install an app and the phone reset. There's no file manager installed nor terminal app so I can't delete things by bash. I connected over USB and tried to adb shell in, but that caused the phone to reset.

I'm stuck. Clearly something has not been properly wiped prior to installing Fresh ROM.

What do I need to do to get out of this loop?
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prboy1969:
Sounds like you either had a bad Flash, a bad Download, or both. So redownload the Rom you choose, then Clear and Flash your device according to THESE INSTRUCTIONS ;) .
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoopahMan:
Thanks for the response. I downloaded the ROM again and ran a check - identical to the file I downloaded previously. So, if the ROM is the culprit, then the latest version of Fresh ROM for Evo Shift does not work (4.1.1).

I followed the instructions linked, wiping the cache and dalvik-cache twice (why?), and wiping system etc prior to installing the ROM.

I'm running into the exact same issues as before - I can't install anything from the Market, and the phone resets if I connect it to a computer over USB. When it resets, it resets multiple times and when it comes back up the 4G no longer works.

If I rerun the above instructions, the 4G works again, but I'm stuck back in this loop - can't use the Market or connect it over USB or it will reset, so forth.

Could Fresh ROM 4.1.1 for Evo Shift be bad? I still suspect the real problem is something is not sufficiently wiped or setup prior to install.

In case it might help, here's an ls -al after installing Fresh Rom 4.1.1 on my phone (an HTC Evo Shift 4G after following the above install instructions).

Is it odd that /sd-ext is at root and not located on the SD card, and a directory not a symlink?
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Now that you have 10 posts you should try posting your questions in the thread for flipz's rom.So the dev can help and maybe anyone else that is running this rom. Also have you tried the a2sd remove command adb shell or from terminal emulator? See if that helps.:D
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoopahMan:
A bit more to isolate the problem:

If the phone resets (due to attempting an install from the Market or plug in from USB), 4G fails - but if I restart the phone at that point, when it reboots 4G works again. So 4G appears to be fine, it's the resets that are at the core of the issue.

I shutdown, removed the SD card, booted, and attempted to install an app and got the same reset, so it's not the SD card - it's definitely a problem somewhere on internal storage.

What else do I need to clear to clear this up?

Fresh ROM's pages say to look in /data/app and /system/app for a place where an app already exists that would cause a conflict.

Here's /data after booting the ROM and setting up a Gmail account:

I'd like to know if app and app-private are as expected (they appear to be the result of the ROM install, since they were completely wiped prior to installing it). The app symlink is a strange one. It points to /system/sd/app, which I can't cd to. /system/sd I can cd to, and this is all it contains:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17 Aug 1 2008 placeholder

A file named placeholder. What?

I'm starting to suspect apps2sd. None of the relevant partitioning steps are in those install instructions, and they appear to be specific to the apps2sd of CyanogenMod. Google's appears to support a DOS partition, while CyanogenMod's appears to only support an ext3 partition, which I do not have.

At the same time, removing the SD card didn't change things, so color me confused.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prboy1969:
As suggested by FdxRider you should definately post up in the Rom thread. That way you can get help resolving the issue from others running the same Rom.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoopahMan:
It was apps2sd.

To resolve this problem, I had to:

Reboot into ClockwordModRecovery

Connect the phone to a computer over USB

In Clockwork, choose Mount Storage and choose the last option, Mount USB.

Dump anything I wanted to keep off of the SD card (most importantly, the FreshRom zip file).

Then, back in Clockwork, Advanced>Partition SD

Choose a size (they recommend 1024M)

This wipes out everything on the SD card, creates a Linux partition for apps2sd to use, marks the rest as a Windows partition.

Wait till it's done, then, still from ClockworkModRecovery:

Wipe cache, dalvik cache, system, data

Factory reset

Now Mount USB again so you can copy the FreshRom zip back onto the Windows partition (the only part that will come up on a Windows machine).

Eject on the Windows machine to ensure the copy completes, Unmount in Clockwork.

Install the ROM again

Let it boot, restart

Setup my Google Account/Gmail user

And one final thing:

As it turns out ES File Explorer is pre-installed on this ROM. That means installing it from the Market will make the phone go crazy regardless of proper setup. But I am now able to install other apps just fine from the Market (at last).
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] classact911:
reset loop NO clockwork until factory reset

I installed Fresh 4.1.1 on my shift 4g

I went to install ROM Manager got it downloaded and it reset the phone at install.

I even tried going to the website and installing it that way. Same results.

I can't get clockwork to work, when i hold the volume down and then press power nothing happens until i release the power button then it goes directly to the Fresh install.

PLEASE HELP!!!!

Of course color preference is completely subjective so that's just MHO.

i've seen a video of it in white and it looks so sexy. I wish I had another month's patience to get white note. but yea as someone else said it all depends on preference
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rerp:
It's actually blue (very dark blue) not black, and white, but that's not a serious matter. :p

As for me, I always take the black variant when I buy devices with screens. The black bordering the screen makes the video experience 'cleaner' or 'brighter' or something --- can't think of the proper word for it. Something of a more genuine cinematic feel; the same feel demonstrated in a movie house with the lights off.

Of course, that could just be psychological and/or aesthetic but it does go easier on the eyes at any point. I'd try to cite sources but I'm too lazy atm. Of course, when you use the Note in the dark, there would be likely no difference. However, this preference for me in such devices only applies to the screen area. I once had my hands on a Nintendo DS Lite whose interior is black but the outer cover is red but it pleases me all the same. Same thing with the Note whose back is just some very dark blue.

Another thing though, the device looks super cool when the screen is off. Like the front is just a black, shiny slab that comes to life in a push of a button. :3

You gotta admit though, white is very eye-catching. Overkill on the eye-catching factor sometimes too. :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Final5k:
My personal opinion - white is more for the female type of users I think. I've hold a galaxy s2 white and although it is very sexy, most people in my surroundings find it more suited for women.

Now, the White Note is very stylish in its white housing there's no doubt about it.....but if you check the streets, you'll notice that most women hold white phones and it looks this color is destined for the lady's market rather than male. The White housing gives the phone a sexy soft appealing look to the overall design. To choose between a black or white, I'll opt for the black at 101%. Just my personal thoughts about this.
