Yeah. There is a Desire HD ROM we got permission to port but we don't have a sense ICS kernel.

Haha I know. At first I didn't like it, but its grown on me.

Since my phone's usb is effed, I can't root it via usb. Now, I can install dropbox and put stuff in my phone like the the SU file and ROMS. Can I root using my phone only?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Emhalwis:
Edit: unrelated. Sorry
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rem3Dy:
Nope. How do you know your USB is broken? Sounds more like user error?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
To my knowledge you need fastboot to unlock and root. That requires USB.

There might be some local privilege escalation vulnerabilities in ICS itself, but those tends to get patched and nobody really bothers to look for them on open devices like the Galaxy Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kendong2:
you can use mempodroid on 4.0.2 to get a root shell. not sure what you can or can't do from there with a locked bootloader tho.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
If you can get a rootshell, you can manually root the phone, just like many people do with the hacked/modified boot.img booted by fastboot. Basically take your temproot and make it a permroot.

1. push modified su-binary and Superuser.apk to phone's /sdcard/.

2. From the (temp) root-shell do approximately the following:

# mount -o remount,rw /system
# cat /sdcard/su >/system/xbin/su
# cat /sdcard/Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk
# chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
# mount -o remount,ro /system

3. Done.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Thanks for this. I was unaware that someone found local privilege escalation exploit for ICS.

I haven't tried it myself, but it would certainly helps those with locked bootloaders (and/or broken hardware buttons or USB ports).

I started a new thread here.

EDIT: It seems that you need to be connected over ADB to get this to work. However, it may work with ADB over Wi-Fi, but I haven't gotten there yet.

Oh thx!

Now, can I flash roms and have CWM without an unlocked bootloader as well?

I have used the method posted in this forum (not using chevron) and my phone doesn't get developer unlocked. If this is because I'm running version 8107:confused:
[Optimus 7 General] GuestD0799:
It shouldn't be. I also have a 8107, and it's interop unlocked. MFG method worked flawlessly. What's the error message you get when you try to deploy XAPs? What are you using for app deployment? Have you installed the latest Windows Phone SDK (as far as I know, it's necessary to be installed - someone correct me if I'm wrong)?
[Optimus 7 General] Camry Racing:
cant conect phone not booted or not developer unlock

and using application deployment

but its not getting unlock I tried verifying and it isnt getting unlock
[Optimus 7 General] Etaduck:
Ok, just for clarification, the site has a couple of different ways to unlock your phone and you haven't specified which one you are using.

That being said, I have the lastest update and ever time I've flashed my phone, this works.

And no, you don't need anything other thant MFG installed on your phone to developer unlock it.

I have to unlock it becasue that is the only way I can get wifi sharing to appear.

How to Un-Lock your Phone without Chevron 7

You can unlock the phone by using the MFG registry editor.

1.Open the MFG app and use the password to open it. If you don't know it's (appmfg#*#)

2.Go to Engineer Menu -> Other Settings -> Edit Registry

3.Set your ROOT PATH to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE"

4.Set your input path to "\Comm\Security\LVMod"

5.Set your input key to "DeveloperUnlockState" and set to DWORD

6.Hit Query. Output result should return a "0" or a random long number. If it does continue.

7.Set your input data box to "1" and hit SET. Output result should be 1

How To Keep Your Phone Unlocked

You can keep your phone unlocked and prevent Zune from re-locking it.1.Open the MFG app and use the password to open it. If you don't know it's (appmfg#*#)

2.Go to Engineer Menu -> Other Settings -> Edit Registry

3.Set your ROOT PATH to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE"

4.Set your input path to "\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg"

5.Set your input key to "PortalUrlProd" and set to DWORD

6.Hit Query. Output result should return data. If it does continue.

7.Keep your input data box empty and hit SET. Output result should be 0

8.Keep this screen open and continue to Part 2

when you do the above, do the outputs match what's writen?

then what is wrong?
[Optimus 7 General] Etaduck:
Also, how are you or what is telling you it isn't unlocked?
[Optimus 7 General] Camry Racing:
cant side load apps because is says that isn't developer unlocked
[Optimus 7 General] GuestD0799:
This is wrong. First query should return a number different from zero. If you switch to STRING, it should display the actual link to MS. So, I guess that you misspelled the registry key/path.

Don't forget to clear the PortalUrlInt key - without it it won't work.

You're not "stuck"! Reverting is done in order to get a rootable firmware (3.0.1). Root it, install CWM and you're done - you can install whatever ROM you like. I thought that's quite clear but obviously I have mistaken, so I added #7 and #8.

Well, I've had a good look around now and can't find a thing on this so maybe some one can help.

I was at a Rammstein gig the other night and managed to get some awesome video footage.

The only thing that let me down was the auto focus constantly in and out... when it sticks with it..its cristal clear...

looked through the settings, nothing. would be happy with touch to focus, like when taking a pic.

Any thing I can do?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
I don't see a way of changing focus on video recording on the stock app, but you can use lgCamera (lgCamcorder) which will let you set fixed focus.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowblind2142:
Shame, have taken a look at lgcamera before. Don't think its as nice as the stock.

May I ask why?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
Why what? Why Samsung didn't include it in the stock camera app? I think only they know the answer.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowblind2142:
No, not why didn't they include it (god only knows why not)

More why can't we "tweak" the apk?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opethrocks:
If you turn off full hd 1080p video recording (only use 720p) it doesn't focus in and out like that, and the quality is still very clear

Finaly a workable solution!

Thank you, wasn't aware of this :)

Will prob use it from now on. Doesn't seem to focus at all. True test will be testing with flashing lights.

Still, no one has managed to answer why we can't mod it?
[Motorola Photon 4G] LancerEVA06:
What would be a decent stable ROM that still includes most stock features, without MotoBLUR? I could give a crap less about 4G.

Stock just feels sluggish and stuttery compared to my Nexus S.
[Motorola Photon 4G] e240:
Cm7
[Motorola Photon 4G] pkomarnicki:
Are you looking for close to moto stock, minus blur, or close to aosp? If the former, I'd recommend Rocko or Shadow. If the latter, CM7.

On a side note, I always laugh a little at threads titled like this. At my house, I'm the tech savvy one, and my husband is usually lost, lol.
[Motorola Photon 4G] LancerEVA06:
Nice. I wish I wasn't the tech savvy one. Gets old. But as far as AOSP or MB... honestly don't care. MB is going to have all the stock features, but she doesn't even use any Blur features.

I just want to put something on her phone that has a lot less lag, I suppose I could wait for the ICS OTA.

HI, I'm a neophyte, but have enjoyed a rooted streak for over a year now. I had upgraded to DJ Steve's Froyo last spring when it came out. Today, I got this weird message when trying to power-up, so I pulled the battery and tried again. Still getting the Dell logo splitting w/DJ Steve's Streakdroid, but my wallpaper was gone - now it's a blue sky with white clouds. All my apps, phone contacts, text messages are gone. I confess I'm not sure if I've been backing up properly - by I did have Lookout security, and there was a backup function on there. I think I had 2.2 but I'm not sure (I'm dyslexic, and remembering numbers doesn't come easily for me)!

I really have no idea what to do - I like to just get the phone back where it was before. Is there a link to a thread options, and about the the different processes? I'm thinking just to re-install Lookout, and try that first; but I'm not sure what is best - COULD REALLY USE SOME HELP!

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reyes.jr:
all was well with my Dinc except for I had 2 blown speakers. I ordered new ones from ebay and replaced both. After replacing both, the bottom of my screen seems to not be working correctly. Whenever I go into SMS and hit the bottom for the keyboard to come up, it doesn't. I try using Whatsapp and it does the same thing. Its weird because the "attachment" button on the bottom of a sms works fine. It might just be that bottom/middle area. Is there any way to fix this? I had a feeling once I removed those ribbons to replace my ear speaker It was gonna mess something up :(.

I'm on MIUI android 2.3.5.

Is there any fix to this? or am I gonna have to just live with it for awhile?

EDIT: forgot to add, when I'm in WhatsAPP and I try clicking the bottom to bring out the keyboard, it highlights the message a little bit above where the text box is at, so its not reading where I'm pressing correctly. Its reading a little higher when I press in the bottom/middle area of the screen. Hope I explained that well enough for you guys to understand :P
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dymmeh:
A quick way to test if your screen is buggered is to downloading a drawing app and try to draw on the parts of the screen that you think aren't working. If you can't draw there you either a.) didn't connect a ribbon all the way b.) damaged a ribbon c.) electrically damaged something.

or d.) terrible coincidence and your touchscreen was on its way out anyways

It might be time for a new touchscreen. I had a similar problem where my screen wouldn't respond to touch in certain parts. I never took apart my phone prior to that so it wasn't (i don't think) my doing. Replaced with a new screen and I was good to go.

Take apart your phone and disconnect/reconnect the ribbons to ensure they are on there good. If that doesn't solve it I'd say a new touchscreen is in your future
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mps83:
I'm runnin stock Nexus with Nova launcher, just noticed that there's a slight delay upon selecting a menu option.

Here's what i mean....

Say you're in the SETTINGS menu, when i select one of the sub menus e.g Sound/Display/Storage/Battery. When i click on it, it highlights it in blue while i press it, but when i let go it kind of fades out slowly, like theres a transition on it, meaning there is a slight delay in opening the menu. It's really annoying, because the phone is lightning quick, but then this happens, it's like the GPU can't cope with the transition/fade effect when you select the sub menu option.

I've turned all transition effects off in Nova Launcher to see if that's what was affecting it, but it's not. Is this meant to happen?

Thanks

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] z06mike:
Seriously??? It takes 1/2 a second! Is that really toooooo slow?!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anterus:
In Settings -> Developer options, enable "force GPU rendering". It does increase graphics benchmarks by about 20%, and removes some of the UI sluggishness even with stock images. I'd also recommend you to use foxhound beta 0.1 of 4.0.4 android along with leankernel - no delays whatsoever
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] retskrad:
YEah this kinda bothers me too. Seems like Android can't really handle serveral 2D transitions at the same time...

I really hate the fact that the Android team at Google doesn't an eye for the small details, which are a big deal. This little transition in the settings meny gives away a huuge part of the experience. Some may say im overreacting, but hey just my thoughts..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BinkXDA:
I could not concur with this more. ICS is nice, but it is VERY unpolished. There are little annoying bugs/quirks everywhere and, while I know early adopters tend to pay the price for doing so, all these little issues are mostly unacceptable for a 4.0-level release on a flagship device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
You can definitely tell they're moving in this direction with the changes from 2.3 to 4.0 though. They're clearly trying to push towards a cleaner, thought-out experience across the device. Its just going to take some time for the old habits to die.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
I truly think its just something google could fix in an update to the settings activities. Hopefully google doesnt ignore it though. The hardware is easily capable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChongoDroid:
Yeah exactly, people often forget how new Android is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] grumphy:
In the same options, disable the transitions. this in aokp b27, gives no sluggishness at all!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmanUV:
your first advice is completely pointless imho. That option is there to force third party apps that don't explicitly ask for 2d acceleration. All of the ics menus and all google apps already use gpu acceleration.

I think the problem is with the gpu. Menus and nav button transitions are MUCH smoother on my HP touchpad running cm9.

I agree with trying out 4.0.4 though. People say it's much improved in this regard. Paul's 4.0.4 is very popular.

I upgraded from the Nexus S, after receiving the ICS 4.0.3 update on it, to the Galaxy Nexus. ICS on my Nexus S was running pretty much flawless. I had none of the issues some other users had.

Anyway, seeing how awesome ICS was I decided Galaxy Nexus was a must for me. Thus the problems began. While I'm not experiencing so many issues as other users do I'm sick of random reboots, freezes. And I'm on 4.0.2 that feels slower then it should be. Seriously instead of an upgrade I FEEL LIKE I BOUGHT A VERY EXPENSIVE DOWNGRADE.

I thought these issues will be fixed soon and Google will release the 4.0.5 update but it seems there is no word of that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mudferret:
I was underwhelmed with stock performance, these phones beg for a ROM upgrade. CM is moving along much faster now with lots of the typical CM settings being added for ICS. Stable, smooth and fast. Nightlies are back. If you require a ton of customizations there are a few other good roms available that might sacrifice some of the stability and smoothness.

Point being, you'll like this phone :)
