GN impressions after 2 weeks.

I bought the GN a couple of weeks ago. I was going back and forth between the DN and Razr maxx.

My main concerns were

1) Camera

2) signal strength

3) battery life

Camera is decent. It isn't as bad as people say it is. I was pleasantly surprised. But I should point out that I came from the OG droid so it was a big jump for me.

As far a signal strength goes, this article from Anandtech helped ease my concerns.

anandtech.com/show/5254/investigating-the-galaxy-nexus-lte-signal-issue

Also in my experience, I don't see many bars (usually see 2 bars) compared to other phones but the performance never suffers. I haven't dropped a call and the data speeds are very impressive.

The most disappointing this with my GN is battery life. That sux but is livable if you have 2 batteries.

Cheers,

Ruchir

[XPERIA X8 General] wilbso:
lol, interesting, it is possible, its actually possible for the x8 BUT (and dats a bug but lol) Its screen isn't big enough, and it runs to slow on the x8, but for dual core phones, it would be cool.
[XPERIA X8 General] Rahat34:
lol....the forums would be like this......a member will post-hi, can we port ubuntu from x10(rofl)....another forum-hi guys im trying to port ubuntu,can you please help me,pm me we will port together......finally someone will port it-forum would like this:

hi to all!

i have an ICS 4.0.3 Beta on my device.

we all know that it dosent come with Reboot or Screen shoot options.

iv'e been searching the forum for all day and cant find a MOD for this?

is there one like this?

thanks for any one how helps me out! :)
[Xperia Arc General] Rycon33:
At themes and apps section, hansip87 made a mod for reboot option in power menu and volume stepping to 30(original is 15 only). I'm using that mod right now and it's great.

And for screen shot, press power button together with volume down button and it will capture your current screen. Or just use an app from market, e.g. Screenshots app.

Sent from my Sony Arc w/ ICS
[Xperia Arc General] gabimx:
thanks, but cant find the post. can you link me to it, please?

BTW, i ddi try the power key and volume down method, but did not shoot my screen.

should i see any respons or message on the screen? or does it save it do the phone/SD?

thanks for helping.

Edit:

is this the one you are using?

and what ICS rom are you using?
[Xperia Arc General] Rycon33:
Yup that's the thread.

I'm using stock ICS Beta ROM. With recovery kernel by cobrato in dev section.

Screenshot should work, press it at the same time and you will hear a capture sound also and will be saved in sdcard/screenshots.

im interested in that aswell. is there any way that i could mod this myself on my current rom without reflashing it? Im on jj's hybrid ics rom (which is awesome by the way) and the only thing im missing is percentage battery in status bar and the reboot option.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amozonesk:
I assume that changing charging voltages will lead to faster/slower charging of the phone. in VC the range is between 450-950mA - Charger is set to 750 and USB to 550. can I change both to 950 ? I have 2 usb AC charger with 1A max output - is this considered as USB or Charger ? this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1455707 was not very helpful, cause there are many different opinions.. thank you guys

[Acer Iconia A500] telemike:
I purchased Acer Recovery 2.60 and use the 1.3.4 Recovery for backing up and flashing ROMs. IS there a need to upgrade to 1.7 CWM and will it work with Acer Recovery?
[Acer Iconia A500] Psichi:
I don't use the CW recovery, but I believe the newest version does work with the Acer Recovery Installer. I believe you need to name it recovery.img and place it on the root of your SD card and the installer can find it and make the switch.

As to if you need to switch or not: I don't know. If your current recovery works for you and the new one offers no features you need then you probably don't need to.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thereddog:
G+ and G+ Messenger were among the first apps that I disabled when I got my nexus. They keep coming back though!

Is this a known issue? Just me? Help!

I would have help you but I love G+. So sorry
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adiliyo:
if you're rooted, have you tried just deleting the apk's from /system/app?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rylake:
Although you have them disabled, make sure that you are not Auto-Updating the app in the market. Not sure if you need to just disable auto updates for them, or you need to disable it for all apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 4rs fed:
I have noticed the SAME thing......

I have disabled G+ and Books and Earth and a few other Google aps and they AUTOMATICALLY un-disable them selves............
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Valynor:
G+ is what could be considered a "core app" on ICS. It's interconnected to a lot of other functions (just like Google Talk or Google Maps).

If you don't like it, just sign out of/never sign into the G+ service and don't use it. This will spare you quite a few problems you may run into otherwise.

Tried a bunch of stuff from the forums but no dice. Did get Shadowgun working... Edited build.prop to show Nexus S creds, all 3 plug-ins for Chainfire 3D also. Sucks!

Edit: HA! I had a Gnex for a clip but couldnt find one without screen branding and returned it -SO- the android market still shows that I have one... just bought NOVA for 50 cents for future use. Still gonna keep trying to get it working on the inc though... Any ideas?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
I'm just posting to state that Shadowgun was upgraded to support Adreno devices. I can see that one in the market no problem.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ra6idr0y:
Yeah I noticed that. Not sure if getting it working had anything to do with chainfire now...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
Probably not, oh well haha To provide an answer to your title, I believe people using ICS roms have no issue downloading NOVA launcher. I haven't paid much attention to those threads for our phone so idk about any issues that crop up. I know people were able to download Chrome it just didn't work without hardware acceleration, so I don't see why they couldn't download NOVA launcher as well. As for non-ICS roms, I have no idea if anyone has had success.

Edit: hmm, I just thought about this but: NOVA launcher or NOVA the game? If you mean the game, disregard everything I said about ICS roms lol
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ra6idr0y:
My bad. I was so scooped up in it that I forgot about the launcher of the same name. Edited first post to reflect "game".

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skakz:
Hi all,

my atrix just arrived, i've the dockstation too, so I'm stucked with blur-stock-based ROMS. I want to know if there is a list of mods to apply via recovery update.zip over the stock ROM to improve it.

I'm in particular looking for the "notification toggles" mod and "wake on volume" mod.

thank you!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djluis48:
You can always unlock the bootloader and use custom roms. If you decide yo unlock your bootloader, i would sugelgest you to use Nottachtrix 4G by Nottach. He implemented a installer called Aroma Installed that allows you to choose between some mods and some apps to be installed in the rom, so its kind of a custom installers that allow individuals to customize the installation. You can choose which Blur apps you want to have. Volume wake up mod. Which camera app out of.three and more stuff. Its pretty sick, check it out. :)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skakz:
Thanks! I've already unlocked the bootloader and installed the Nottachtrix ROM. But it has only ugly themes.. :D

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Nope still working on it - we as a collective have come to a halt for the moment because the next step requires writing a kernel module that doesn't exist.

Since i'm digging through the kernel code trying to figure out how to do it, i've been also working on the other kernel projects that were either half-done or not started, and yogi2010 and I are taking steps together to write a real nice custom kernel for the doubleshot.

It's gonna take some time, HTC has written their kernel to pull what amounts to a packet-switching tactic when you try to write to the filesystem on a protected partition.

[General Questions and Answers] christis:
Dear members,

Being the happy owner of an Easypad 970 (Cube U9GT2 clone), and using various modded ICS versions from the kind developers, I bought an Easypad 1370 as a present to someone.

Now, they share the same processor (Rokchip 1.2), same RAM (1GB DDR) , same screen size (9.7") and resolution (1024x768) albeit the 1370 is resistive instead of 970's capacitive, and diferent flash storage memory (4gb instead of 8). Also one camera (front) instead of 2.

I am looking into flashing it with ICS, but the manufacturer hasn't any ICS firmware yet, and I cannot find any similar OEM tablet in order to get the appropriate firmware, like I did with the 970 from Cube and Wackym's mod.

Does anybody know to which chinese OEM tablet shall I look for an ICS update?

Or even better, can I use the same 970 firmware on the 1370? (that would be ideal).

Any suggestions?

Thanks
[HTC Rezound] siulmagic:
This will only be usefull for GSM/Global users of the HTC Vigor, Cdma user's have nothing to look here.

Hello this a quick patch i made for the gsm users like me, what this patch will do is force the phone to boot in gsm mode, every single time, even after reboots. and if you include it into a rom, the rom will automatically boot in gsm mode, no need to access the hidden menu.

PS:This patch will force the phone to GSM mode(2g), not wcdma(3g). i might later on adapt this patch for each band, but not right now.

What this patch wont do:

Remove the invalid sim card message.

Magically fix sms( this depends on your carrier so far they work for att)

So far this works for me, i cant control how it will behave on different carriers.

Download Link:

ICS Sense 4.0 Fix

ICS Sense 3.6 fix

Rom Devs, feel free to use this patch, just give credit to me that's all i ask.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Sweet! Great thing for GSM Users!
[HTC Rezound] Viper32:
Is that all it does though is boot to GSM mode? I know others cannot sms when using gsm mode.

[HTC Rezound] siulmagic:
disabled donwload, fixing update script, it wipes system, sorry forgot to remove tha tline =)
[HTC Rezound] siulmagic:
it depends on your carrier, for now att can send sms. this simply adds 2 line to the build.prop to make the phone boot in gsm mode, nothing more.
[HTC Rezound] Proz00:
thx but cleanrom does that

anyways does it make the sim unknown disappear?

i get access denied cant dl
[HTC Rezound] siulmagic:
well i wasent aware of that, regardless it's still helpful, and no it does not remove the invalid sim message.

and about the denied access, i had to disable the download to fix an update script error =).
[HTC Rezound] Proz00:
i tried to remove the sim lock from the idlescreen_base and sign it but still not lack :\
[HTC Rezound] siulmagic:
what did you use to decompile the framework/apks, everything i try spits out errors, i might give it a shot see if i can remove the message
[HTC Rezound] Proz00:
i didnt decompile

just open the apk and remove files there (A) :)

its didnt load

i thinked if i remove it or rename it to something else like weather it will bypass it :)
[HTC Rezound] siulmagic:
that wont work, you will break the apk, in order for this be accomplished the apk needs to be decompiled, and edit the decompiled xmls. then repack it. i have a basic idea what has to be done but, since there no tool to decompile ics apks, i cant test my idea.
[HTC Rezound] narta:
afaik apk are zips. You have to rename to zip, edit it, repak it to zip, rename it to apk and sign it with the apk-tool(?)

Edit: found it http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/
[HTC Rezound] Proz00:
is it better then 7zip ?
[HTC Rezound] siulmagic:
yes they are like zip, but when you unzip them thats the raw data/encrypted, no smali edits posible, unless as i said before the apk is decompiled.
[HTC Rezound] siulmagic:
iv managed to decompile the idlescreen_base.apk but i have no way to recompile it, its giving me some errors. i beliv ei found the smali to edit (TelephonyUtil.smali) , i removed a string "calling emergency only", and iv yet to find the png or text or combination of both to remove "the sim card is form an invalid source' string. but as i said i cant seem to recompile the apk to test it.

edit:

this is my error when recompiling

[HTC Rezound] killahrey:
I've had luck with 7zip. Right click on the apk and select extract in the 7zip menu.
[HTC Rezound] siulmagic:
i released this patch intended to be used by other devs, this patch will make the phone boot up from first boot in gsm mode, not sure if your roms do or not, and if they do great, if not well there always my fix.

about the lockscreen message were pretty much stuck right now, since there no way to recompile the ics apk, i know there are tools that do that, but this particular apk docent seem to be compatible with the way we reocompile ics apk right now.
[HTC Rezound] siulmagic:
as i said before, unzipping is nto decompiling, very huge difference between the 2. look up a couple of post before this one, i explain the best way i could the difference.

[HTC Rezound] narta:
Pull your framework.apk and uploaded so someone more experienced can decompile it and have a look against an original framework.apk to see what mede the differance.

what rom are you running, kernel and what did you do before it started working?

LETS GET THIS SOLVED!
[HTC Rezound] siulmagic:
i did nothing to the framework.apk, im pretty sure the sms issue is something much simpler, only thing i did was try the gosms fix with the pdu number, but that fixed nothing. and im running my own custom rom based on our leaked ics sense 3.6 rom.

And again iv done nothing to the framework guys, the fix i posted here, is a build.prop edits, witch adds 2 extra lines thats it. no magic involved.

[Solved] Sim from Unknown Source error

Hey SIUL & Proz

I have removed the "Sim from Unknown Source" Error from lockscreen using an idlescreen_base.apk i had found somewhere on rezound forum sometime back. (See the attached Pic)

I dont remember the exact thread so i am re-posting the downloaded apk and method here for your convenience.

This is the working method to remove the "Sim from Unknown Source" Error from lockscreen on Global 4.0.3 rom. I have not tested it on other roms

1) Download the attached idlescreen_base.apk on your phone.

2) Install root explorer or similar.

3) Backup Idlescreen_Base.odex & Idlescreen_Base.apk from /system/app somewhere safe

3) DEL /system/app/Idlescreen_Base.odex

4) Replace the downloaded Idlescreen_Base.apk in /system/app

5) Set permission to

Read Write Execute

Owner x x

Group x

Others x

Restart the phone once and you are good to go..

Incase if something goes wrong or it doesnt work on your rom, restore the original backed up files and set the above permission on them.

P.S. The credit for this goes to the original developer. Also I am in no way responsible for any damages, direct or indirect, that may occur to your or your phone by using this method. DO it at your own risk.

[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Why is this needed anymore? Just run any ROM based on 4.3.605.1 (or higher) with and global (GSM) mode is built in (assuming your radios are capable), which is just about every ROM released from mid 2012 to current.
[HTC Rezound] iraqlover:
i like 2 use ics 4.0.4..its much smoother than 4.0.3..thats all ;)
[HTC Rezound] el Filou:
Try this ROM by Siulmagic then: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1720750

It's Sense 4.1 pure GSM, based on 4.0.4. Only bugs are some misaligned UI elements in the Sense menus but apart from that it's pretty good.

If you want AOSP rather than Sense you can download any CyanogenMod based ROM, there is usually a GSM patch included in the thread (except for 4.4 KitKat on which it currently doesn't work fully).

I have an SGS2 with mhl hdmi adapter cable. I use it to play movies on a flatscreen tv in the bedroom (no pc present there). The movies are streamed from a w7 pc over wifi. I have it working.

BUT not for 1080p material! the playback is choppy as it is software rendered, not hardware accelerated. If i play the same 1080p file from internal microsd everything works and is H/W accelerated.

I use tversity - upnplay - mx player. Also tried different combinations of moboplayer. serviio. w7 dlna. esfilexplorer (smb networking) with same results: no h/w decoding. The wifi network is plenty fast (wlan-wlan ~60mbps).

So how to get H/W acceleration going when streaming movies?

Thanks for your thoughts on it.
