why you not compile cm7 for your device compile rom bug fix easy then ported rom bug fix
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] immortal_yash:
we need 2.3.7 stock rom as these ports are based on it....files may have changed from earlier 2.3.x versions during updates so it will be easier if we get the roms which it is based on...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] immortal_yash:
can you help us in compiling and any guides to start with..??before we end up messing it...??
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ron G:
are you ready to compile ?

Are you have ubuntu 10.04,10.10,11.04,11.10

witch bit 32bit or 64 bit (64 bit is best for gb or ics)

10 gb free space for full build

and good net speed for repo download you need download repo witch in gb

you need this 1st before start to compile

i use ubuntu 11.10 64 bit for compile my own rom
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] immortal_yash:
i already have ubuntu 11.10 32 bit and 40 gb of free space with fairly enough speed to download in gb..... :) anything else required???

Before you even think about compiling cm7 you need a kernel. You will not get a booting aosp Rom without a working aosp kernel. That needs to be the absolute first step. You can test basic functionality of the kernel by creating a recovery using the kernel. If it boots recovery then you should be at least somewhat good to go on compiling cm7 for it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] immortal_yash:
Can you compile a kernel for htc explorer if not can you guide us...??

well we have a custom kernel and overclocked check if it is all we need...

[Nook Touch General] Juansalnagual:
Hi!

Im new with this of craking, and im not a native english speaker so forgive me if i dont explain well my self.

I just root my NookSimple Touch (version 1.0.1), with touchnooter-1-6-24, during the hacking every thing was going fine, the "root forever" logo showed up, and then it got stuck in the barnes and Noble loading screen, so i waited like for 20 minutes and nothing! it remains in the same loading screen. So i took out the SD card, and re boot the nook, it started up well and i could complete all the steps of the rooting procedure normally.

Now im having troubles with some apps, cant use the browser, and cant use well the wallpaper app, it dont allow me to select any of the images, and even worst when i select one of the Live Wallpapers (only one live wall paper was working), the next time i turn on the nook it got stuck again, but this time on a diferent screen, on the unlock screen at the starting up. After many rebootings could use the nook again and close the Livewallpaper app. Now is working fine.

Now im scare of using other apps and crash the system again. So i have some questions:

Is it normal that the apps that i mention dont work well on the rooted nook? Or is it concecuence of the failure i mentioned during the hacking procedure? Do i have to root again the nook?

I didn´t do a backup, does it worth to do one now? Or just save some information of the system that could be use in the future for an emergency?

last question, when one uses the set fabric settings option, does the nook goes to original version (with out the root)?

thanks a lot in advance for the soon answer

Do a backup, if you screw up, its the best way to have a copy of the unique information on the factory partition of your NST.

You need to do a Reset and a Restore to get rid of root+Gapps+Apps, use this:

Which of the firmware for Samsung Galaxy s2 t-989 has the the Russian language (WWE)??? Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Adapt0r:
Do you mean ROM localization or keyboard?

I am not sure that such exists fro the US T-mobile phone. Anysoftkeyboard supports almost all European languages.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] vendellarossa:
Samsung phones don't use WWE in their ROMs and for your information there is no russian interface (language settings) available at the moment for T989 only German, Spanish French Italian and Chinese. I really doubt somebody will start on building ROM with russian interface unless these phones start selling in Russia in huge quantities!

Don't quote me on this. But I recently re-flashed (ROM is great, that's not why) Sirius (From RootzWiki - I am apparently not allowed to link yet in my post, so search it - sorry) and I believe that in the first few steps after I flashed (where you sign into Google and such), it asked me to choose a language, and I believe there were a few Asian Pacific languages available. Again, please don't quote me on this. Also, I am not sure if this choice would be for the whole phone interface, but I would ask the developers in that thread, they should certainly know. ROM is great btw!

Hi everyone,

I start this thread in order to ask wich governors and I/O Shedulers do you preffer. I put all the time as governor the smartassv2 and to I/O Sheduler the deadline, I dont know if this is the best combination but I see great perfomance using this.

Wich "Combo" do you use?
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
If sio/simple and interactiveX is availiable, i use those. If not I simply use default setting, cause they mostly are quite fine ;)

Indeed I prefer interactiveX too, to bad it isn't avaiable for CM7... yet... and for I/O I like BFQ just for the name :P
[LG Optimus Black] Pollie81:
very useful question, there is a topic about governors and i/o schedulers and i read it many times but personal opinions is nice to know.

i'm on smartassv2 and deadline on zeus v6 right now..

performance is very good, battery drain during the night is also good.. but i got the feeling that the battery drain during the day is a bit too much.
[General Questions and Answers] ksimp88:
I have used the search, and tried to find a thread for this, to no avail.

What I would like, is a ROM that is very similar to stock. Here's what my main wants are:

- Proven use/quality (tell of your experience

- Sense

- HD cam recording (CM7.2 doesn't do this... WHY?!?!)

- Battery life

- Free USB and wifi tether

If I had all the free time in the world, I would simply remove excess baggage from the stock ROM and release it as my own. But... I don't know how to do that.

Anyways, what would you guys recommend?

Also, If a Mod finds another thread matching my question, please link me to it before closing my thread... thanks.

mate has a large scratch on his nexus and also has a broken nexus that the repair shop said he could keep last time round, and just wondering if anyone has a guide on screen replacement? as nothing on you tube
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Robi-K:
You might want to check ifixit site for a teardown. After that I think you can do it pretty easily.

http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung-Galaxy-Nexus-Teardown/7182/1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bobbysixkiller:
ok cool, so looks like if you wanna replace the frame and the glass (which i do) its fairly simple, replacing just the glass seems to be a pain!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LocoTSX:
Is the scratch kinda at the top of the phone starting from the left side going up diagonally? If so, there seems to be a lot of GN's with this same problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
Get a guitar pic and put it into the edges of the screen, ifixit has the teardown. When you put it back together, just put the new glass there instead.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kiusugi:
Where you to buy the glass of Galaxy Nexus? I will try on ebay, nut nothing. Can you link the store?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diomed:
I bought a new screen from www.gounlock.com. It's a genuine Samsung part. All that came was the glass with the lcd bonded to it. Ifixit didn't take the phone apart far enough to show how to replace the part I got. I saw a video on CNET (I believe) where they tore down a Verizon GN, but again, they stopped short of removing the actual glass/lcd.

At some point, I'll build up the nerve to tear it apart and see how it's stuck together. Hopefully someone else will do it first, otherwise I'll take pictures.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neotekz:
the screen in the last pic on ifixit looks the same as the screen for sale on www.gounlock.com. did you not get it the glass/lcd and frame as one part?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] times_infinity:
On all phones with Super AMOLED whatever displays, the LCD and Digitizer are one part. You cannot buy them separately. Its been like that since the original Galaxy S series.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diomed:
neotekz, this is what I got from https://www.gounlock.com/

I guess I'll need to pry the old part off the frame, then rebond it. Only one way to find out :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Robi-K:
Bummer. As I stated if he has a spare nexus that the op can keep why bother trying to rip the thing apart possibly braking it when he can change the whole LCD plus frame.

P.S. All Superamoled screens are glued with the digitiser. They are technically one part and that's a fact.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] caifan:
I remember changing it on my Droid Charge. If I recall...I had to pry it off from the front using a guitar pick while I pushed from the back through one of the openings...it was held in place by sticky tape. Not too bad.

Edit: Yes - the digitizer and LCD is one piece.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neotekz:
i didnt know you can even get just the glass and digitizer like that, was it cheaper? all the ones i've seen online are $200+ and comes with the frame.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] times_infinity:
Its not wise to try and separate the display and the digitizer as you have a very high chance of damaging the display which means wasting more money.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diomed:
I expected it was going to come with the frame and I was a little surprised to see that it wasn't included. I think what I got was $250-ish. I'm now debating on if I even want to attempt to install it since I can't find anybody else who's pulled the screen off the frame.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neotekz:
so you are replacing a broken screen? i would think that it wont be that hard to remove the broken LCD since you don't have to worry about damaging it, you just have to be careful not to break the frame. i would use a heat gun to heat up the glass a bit and see if that loosens the glue and use a guitar pick to pry it off just be careful it doesnt get too hot and melt the frame. if you end up doing this can you take some pics and keep us updated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] caifan:
That's is exactly what I did on my Droid Charge. ^^^^^^^
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diomed:
Just an update. I finally built up the nerve to replace my screen. Other than the fact that the screen is permanently bonded to the frame, it wasn't too bad. In order to remove the original screen and replace with the one I got from gounlock.com I had to destroy the original one. It took awhile to clean the remnants of the original screen from the frame, but once it was clean, it was back together in 5 minutes.

Overall, it was pretty easy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Emhalwis:
Moisture went inside my first gnex. So I bought a second one ( we don't have insurance in my country). I bought one with a broken screen less than $100 and I took the screen out of the first one and into the second. Ifixit helped a lot, I applied little pressure to seperate the screen from the frame. Didn't have a puck at the moment.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rudolphe:
So once you removed the Glass and the Digitizer from the frame how did you get the new glass and digitizer on the frame?

And how did you get the original off the frame? Did you do what the one guy said and heat it up till the glue melted some?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Naezor:
Heat from the frame side with a heat gun or hardcore hair dryer. Start at the bottom: begin to separate using dental floss, heating as you go.

After it's started to separate, when you get to the area with the flex cables, gently pry apart using a spudger or guitar pick will work.

Be very gentle.. it takes some time and a lot of heat, but it can be removed.

Good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diomed:
I used a 2 part epoxy to glue the new digitizer to the old frame.

I don't have a hair dryer, so wrapped up the old cracked digitizer/glass and frame in a towel and used a clothes iron on it. It freed it up a little, but I still wound up destroying the old digitizer/glass and cleaning off the broken bits with a flat tipped screw driver. At one point, I was wondering if I'd be able to get it all back together, but I did and it still works!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Naezor:
Wow, totally didn't notice you were in Vegas too. I would have done it for you!

Oh, just a note in case it happens again: The CDMA screen is the same thing, minus the frame, but at a fraction of the price. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diomed:
I would have taken you up on it! Interesting to know the CDMA screen is the same. I suspected it was but couldn't verify it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Emhalwis:
The glass and the digitizer are one piece, you can't separate them. Taking them off is very easy, you just need to apply a little pressure and it will come out. I didn't need to apply heat.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Guille10:
Screen size

Thanks for your help on this issue. So the glass or screen for a GT-I9250 (GSM) is the same as the SCH-i515 (CDMA)?

I can only find the glass for the GT-I9250 on eBay and I'd like to use it on my Verizon Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chepeliyas:
So, I broke my screen too last week, and I'm trying to evaluate all the possibilities. Since sending the device overseas is not an option, and trying to repair it at a local shop is not possible, is this the right replacement for a GSM Galaxy Nexus?

http://www.xphoneparts.com/china-wh...een-touch-digitizer-assembly-black_p3599.html

http://parts4mobiles.com/acatalog/SAMSUNG-GALAXY-NEXUS-I9250-Complete-Black-Lcd-with-Digitizer.html

I'm not sure if changing the screen is the best for me, not only because is a little bit dangeous to mess something up, once the phone is open, but also I'm afraid I get the wrong part, and that the part is deffective or something like that.

I'm considering buying a new HTC One X too, the international unlocked version with 32 GB, but it's $560 right now. What do you suggest, getting the screen $200 to fix my broken Gnex or getting a new phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gnewylliw:
thread revival here.. to clarify, the LCD/touch assembly should just pop off the frame? are there adhesives at all?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mumpfpuffel:
Got a rather nasty spring and crack across the screen, which luckily is only annoying, and not a problem. But the replacement cost coming up to the price of half the phone is almost silly. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diomed:
The digitizer (with the screen) was bonded to the frame of mine very well. I pretty much destroyed it getting it off, then had to spend awhile cleaning it up afterwards. Using a heat gun should make it easier, but I didn't have one and I didn't care about destroying the old screen.

This is what it looked like after most of the screen was removed. I eventually got it all cleaned off and put back together, but around the time I took this photo, it was looking pretty iffy. :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gnewylliw:
Did the operation today, using an iron and some subway napkins as a heatgun. Mine came off in two stages- first, the glass and digitizer came off, after the glue on the perimeter of the glass assembly was loosened. The heat gun accomplished this quickly. Then, the actual LCD came out- this was more time consuming- there's a tough sticker that holds the LCD to the frame. In the end, I just 'peel'-ed the screen off, chiselling away with my screwdriver to get the sticker off.

By the way, the frame is magnesium, similar to the roll-cage on a thinkpad. Impressive.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:

I did mine too. My LCD glass had spiderweb cracks all over it. Still worked as the lcd itself wasn't damaged, just the glass. I unknowingly ordered a lcd+digitizer only, not with the frame.

So I had to destroy the old screen to get it off. New one came with a sheet of 3M adhesive tape, so I got it all back in and it looks/works very good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] barryicide:
Where did you order the lcd+digitizer? If there is a significant cost savings over replacing the whole frame I'd like to do the same (I don't mind a little extra work). It didn't really matter that you were destroying your old screen since since the LCD digitizer couldn't use it (since it already has one fused in place), correct?

I can't believe how weak this screen is - my old Galaxy S with Gorilla Glass got banged around all the time with nary a scratch... my Galaxy Nexus drops 2 feet onto the floor and the screen cracks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] badass989:
Can someone help clarify this for me? I have a verizon nexus with cracked glass, it's definitely just the glass and the phone still works perfectly. So, would it be possible for me to replace just the glass or does it have to be the LCD/digitizer combo that is on ebay (cheapest I've seen is $170 or so). If it is just the glass, would the gsm version work? Earlier posts indicated no, but it's hard for me to tell if they are talking about only the glass, or the digitizer.

Is it just the terminology confusing me? Any help would be appreciated, I've read a dozen threads on this but just get more and more confused.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
you have to replace the combo. they are adhered together and there is an extremly high risk of destroying both when trying to get them apart, its easier to just replace both and plug and play the new one into the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wooten409:
Is the Screen Glass Lens Cover and the lcd glass two separate things? And if so, how can you tell which one is actually scratched?

(i.e. bit.ly / RkdleN)

My screen isn't broken, rather it has a few surface scars and I was wondering if I'd have to purchase a new lcd or if the Screen Glass Lens Cover was all I needed. (huge difference in price)

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] infazzdar:
The phone's AMOLED display is fused to the front glass.

So even if your front glass is cracked or chipped, you have to replace the AMOLED display too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MGA2009:
Actually you can separate the LCD from the glass... It's quite difficult but you can. The digitizer is fused to the LCD but the GLASS its only glued... You can check some post on the Galaxy S3 that they replace only the glass (no digitizer nor lcd).

If you can my recommendation is to try to separe them first and if you broke them just order the complete assembly. You do need a heat gun or a powerful hair dryer... to losen the adhesive.
