[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] talhamid:
Listen guys: I didn't set out to give OP hate. I won't take it as well.

First of all, someone having a Galaxy Nexus AND having an account at XDA means that they know what the hell they're talking about. I don't know if the OP is on Verizon or not, but this thread sure isn't named VERIZON Galaxy Nexus themes and apps. And as I take it, most of us have international GNs.

Second, while TouchWiz 4.0 is improved, it gets beaten even by MotoBlur in the looks department. Don't know, but if I am to use something 4 hours a day, I like its interface to be subdued and with muted colours.

I still think porting TW onto GN is answer to something perhaps only a few people asked. I still think that there are free apps in the market that give touchwiz-like features (few as they are compared to stock ICS).

And I still think that SAmsung are going to bury ICS under TW and their users won't know what they are missing.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gene_Bailey:
If your wanting statistics my friend, use history.

Nexus 1 sold crappy numbers. Blame it on only selling it online, or only on one carrier, or poor advertising, or whatever you want, but the Nexus 1, one of the greatest Android Devices of all time sold like ****. But Google wasn't targeting the masses. They were targeting us. The Geeks/Nerds/Enthusiasts/Purists/Android Lovers/Whatever you want to call us.

Nexus S, released on two carriers stateside, sold from stores instead of online from Google only, and phones like the Samsung Galaxy S and most HTC devices SMASHED its numbers in terms of sales foe use on contract purchased with a contract. Why? Because people, average everyday NOT ONE OF US people don't want stock. They want the admittedly cartoonish looking TouchWiz. They want the battery hogging, resource intensive but beautiful and somewhat more people friendly experience that Sense offers over Stock Android from 2.3.x and down.

But HISTORY proves the exact opposite of what you state. Nexus phones are pure AOSP. Always have been, always will be. Whether its MIUI, CM9, GUMMY, whatever you prefer, you WILL RARELY IF EVER find an OEM skin on a Nexus. So, it goes to show that yes, the majority of people awaiting this Nexus were indeed wanting the latest and greatest from Google and Google only. They want an AOSP experience. Most of us do here that have this phone.

Granted people here may be a little over the top and rude because they are typing over a forum and feel they can act how they like rather like children, but they aren't wrong either. Most of us came for this experience. Not the HTC Sense or Samsung Touchwiz or Motorola Not-Called-Blur experience.

If you purchased this because you were waiting for the next Samsung Flagship Device on Verizon and you wanted an SGSII like experience, you should have simply waited. Fact of the matter is, you knew exactly what you buying and most of it's features and specs and draws and cons when you bought it. I am not attempting to be rude on condensing, but its a cold hard truth.

I would definitely recommend trying Droid Vicious' MIUI port for the Galaxy Nexus as Samsung has actually ripped a TON of their functionality that they implement into Touchwiz from MIUI. From the icons down to the the way you add Widgets to the home screen. You would probably be very happy with it. Its one of my favorite ROMS to run with.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theMODEL22:
It's not that people want the custom skins, they just don't know better, go to get a new phone for one of many reasons and because of an endless possibility of reasons they got a phone with a skin. I would estimate that a vast majority of people with ANDROID phones were just told about this cool new phone that's cheaper and better than an iphone.... Then WE as a community teach them to root the iphone killing motherf**KING monster they just bought ;-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] open1your1eyes0:
Well, unfortunately this thread as well as the one I created earlier (Link) have become useless to me now. I guess I underestimated how much 3rd party skin hatred lives in the XDA Nexus community. Well, needless to say, I think I have more than enough evidence to say this port will never come to be at XDA. Looks like I will have to move this discussion to outside sources. Thank you to those few of you who actually provided a pleasant and understanding comment in this thread. And to the rest of you.....well.....you already know what I think. Good luck in your future endevours...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JustArchiee:
"iSHEEP" made me lol so hard - Thats the best name for them ;) Anyway, what's wrong with touchwiz? You all have to remember touchwiz is quite old in smartphone terms. I personally think gingerbread's theme looked better than ICS (The green instead of blue) but know one has made a rom or even a theme for that. Damn it dont hate on the guy just because he asked a question. Theres no harm in it - Thats what the this part of the forums is for right? If you haven't anything nice to say - dont bother.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] popab:
Hahaha..

Is funny how all the people hates touchwiz on galaxy nexus,and it got ported and have an immense succes.The thread have 300.000 views,and you are telling me that no one wants touchwiz on my galaxy nexus and says that is imposible to port that thing.Eh look,it's not .Never say never.Bye,I'm done here

Is there a way to get HBO Go working? I'm using the latest MoDaCo rom (Which is fantastic by the way). The app installs but says that the device is not supported.

I would love this to work also. Fyi, same result on cm7 and ics.
[Kindle Fire General] liquidicem:
Same on rooted stock 6.2.2 as well.
[Kindle Fire General] jdock:
As a workaround, turn wifi off and start the app. When it says it needs network access you can turn wifi back on.

It does stop playing if you try to adjust the volume while it's playing though. And for me it's awful stuttery but I'm not sure if that's due to my internet connection.
[Kindle Fire General] EvoWayne:
Stuttery

Also stuttery for me, even with a healthy connection. Regardless, thanks for sharing the workaround. :)

Thanks. This gave me access to it. Unfortunately it force closes every time I attempt to login. Wouldn't happen to have a link to the current apk would you? The one I'm using may be outdated. Thanks again.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shnn2011:
This post is to address how to fix two major issues on the G2X without rooting or flashing . . .

A. How to fix the APN issue which causes the default APN to jump back to T-Mobile . . . after setting up a custom APN such as Simple Mobile . . .

B. How to get the DNS to work on WiFi so that you do not need to restart the phone or switch airplane mode on and off to get it to work.

For the brief time that I had the T-Mobile G2X I notices a couple of issues that were annoying as heck. Loved the phone, but hated that LG was too slow to fix these issues, so I came up with my own fixes / workarounds. I hope that this helps out the community.

A. To fix the APN issue:

Note: Make sure you follow all of the steps exactly / correctly or else it will not work.

1. Simply download APN Manager from the Market.

2. Make a backup of your configuration using APN manager

3. Delete all of the APNs on your phone using APN manager including the T-Mobile APN. (If you ever need it again you can restore it from your backup. You did make a backup right?)

4. Configure your new one and only SimpleMobile APN and set it as the

default

5. Enjoy your Fixed G2X phone

B. To fix the WiFi DNS Issue:

Note: Make sure you follow all of the steps exactly / correctly or else it will not work.

1. Simply Download DNS Setting by Daingo from the Market

2. Run the app

3. Enter the following settings:

I.P. Address: 0.0.0.0

Subnet Mask: 0.0.0.0

Gateway I.P: 0.0.0.0

Primary DNS server: 8.8.8.8

Secondary DNS Server: 8.8.4.4

4. Save and exit

5. Enjoy your Fixed G2X phone

Notes: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 are the I.P. Addresses for Google DNS servers, I am told that these DNS servers are blocked by T-Mobile / SimpleMobile, but they will work over WiFi with no problems and the DNS Setting app will only apply it to your WiFi settings, but if you decide to use a different app then keep that in mind.

Also, you may need to set your gateway address to your WiFi routers address, but generally if you set an address as 0.0.0.0 it will default to DHCP (or automatically assign)

This worked for me, and I certainly hope it works for you. I hope I saved many people many headaches.

Now if someone could only figure out how to calibrate the accelerometer.

wifi not working

ny time i flash an ICS or JB rom on my g2x the wifi stop working but resumes and work fine when i flash GB. My baseband is March 2012. Any help guys?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mansa_noob:
I haven't seen this issue, but typically if it won't connect a hard reboot (vol+ and power simultaneously until the set reboots) fixes it.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] mariowinax:
Just did that,but no positive. Its displays ( TURNING ON WIFI........eventually when it ON) it doesnt find any available wifi connections respective to yet available wifi spots......
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mansa_noob:
The only other thing I can suggest is to use cleanup batch or nullifier and reinstall. Can't guarantee that it would fix the issue though.

-- The noob says:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] mariowinax:
Think G2x Scrubber as the same as the batch and e nullifier. Because I always used g2x scrubber to wipe my phone before even installing a custom rom so I don't believe is a problem emanating from there. Anyway thanks for ur consistent aid u giving me,just it doesn't solve ma problem fella.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mansa_noob:
Scrubber is not the same as batch, which is not the same as nullifier. Batch is my favorite because it removes and reconstructs all partitions.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] mansa_noob:
Faux 0.14 beta AFAIK. But look in the kernel threads.

Edit: did you do fresh install after the wipe tools or restore from nandroid?

-- The noob says:

Everyone searches, but few have mastered the art of search. Google makes money because of the people of the first kind!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mariowinax:
Yes I did, after it I restore from nandroid. But no solution, with the kernel can u give a link to e thread?

Dude...mansa has been babying you this entire thread. Showering you in helpful information while providing links that could be easily found with a quick search. Look through the stickies and find the thread with all the roms and kernels for our device and stop begging for links. Its annoying.

Your restore from nandroid is likely restoring your problem. Try a fresh install. Most folks here seem to like CM7.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyprusx:
im trying to folow these steps to flashing cwm and get confused at these steps

Untar codeworkx's kernel into the Heimdall directory.

On the computer, open terminal and run the following command from the Heimdall directory: heimdall flash --kernel zImage

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSniperFan:
And? What's the problem? What OS are you running?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyprusx:
well i dont now what those steps mean?? im running windows 7
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSniperFan:
You open a command line (Terminal on Linux/OS X, CMD or PowerShell on Windows 7).

Then you change into the directory where Heimdall installed (cd command) and execute the command as they said.

For you it would be:

./heimdall.exe flash --kernel zImage

Remember to put the kernel file (zImage) into the same directory too.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] retrolab:
I'm at the same step. Sorry I'm not familiar with this part of the process.

-Running XP

-Heimdall folder is sitting in my downloads folder

-I placed zimage into this Heimdall folder

Next step asks "On the computer, open terminal and run the following command from the Heimdall directory"

but I don't see a terminal program, or CMD or powershell. I don't know how to do this. Would someone be able to explain?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] king_below_my_lord:
Lol, cmd is command prompt, open command prompt

Or open run type cmd press enter

Use command

cd..

(including the dots)

Until you reach c:\

Using command

cd "folder name"

(don't include "") go to the Heimdall directory then run the command for installing the kernel.

P. S :Move Heimdall to c:\ and give cd Heimdall and run the command.

Using GT - I9100

I thank those who give helpful comments

I expect the same from others.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendogg41:
Can somebody translate this to english please?

I'm stuck at step #5 here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_d2mtr

What is the Heimdall directory? I've tried installing the .exe from the Heimdall zip, but it keeps telling me that msvcr100d.dll is missing. I've managed to find that via a 3rd party, moved it into the System32 folder - and still nothing. I'm at a loss here :( This is NOT a simple process for those of us familiar with a computer, but not code monkeys. Thanks!

It seems that with the CM9 ICS whenever you put it on the car dock, it routes the audio to the USB port. Is there anyway to reroute it to the Car dock (phone itself) so that I can hear the navigation audio through my phones speaker instead? I don't have an aux port on my car, so the line-in port is useless to me. Galaxy Dock Sound Redirector does not work on Glitch v14 pre 4 Kernel on JT's ICS build 5.

[Nexus S General] simms22:
usually cm9 or cm9 kangs as my rom.

now the kernel is the tricky part. its almost always Trinity, but i can use 3 or 4(or more) different versions of trinity in a day. teuv is usually my while-im-at-work kernel, but i can be using t11, t132, or t144 at any given point in the day. sometimes all of them in a day. t144 is usually the kernel i like to use when im playing around. what i like about them is that they work as intended. they are all bare bone kernels(ics versions) therefore dont contain any mods that we've all gotten used to. but that also means that the trinity kernels dont contain any introduced bugs either(that many kernels wrestle with). i know ive not really explained anything, it is what it is ;)

The only issue I have come across which is quite annoying is most videos are extremely laggy- this is irritating because its how I overcome my commute to and from work. For example the opening video sequence for Asphalt 6 HD is extremely laggy but the game plays flawlessly! I have a coupe of avi files on my device as well and they have the same problem. Sound is fine...

Apart from this everything so far functions flawlessly.

Hi, currently my i9023 is installed with stock ICS (ROM and kernel) and frankly, I'm quite satisfied with the performance. The battery performance is, I think, comparable with that of the stock gingerbread.
