No. SlimICS is my first ICS. I have had a variety of older versions of Android on my phone though, one for the i9000 included.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
Okay full wipe (factory reset, cache, dalvik) flash essential reboot recovery flash base+ essential. If it bootloops flash base + essential again. That should get you on your way. Aosp require double (maybe even 3) flashes because of the partition difference.

I followed these instructions exactly with no luck. I wouldn't call it a bootloop either. It's as though I intentionally took it into the recovery console. It doesn't automatically reboot. I tried installing the CM9 nightly, but it errors out early on with "error in update.zip (status 7)" early on.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
Sorry man only thing I can advise is odin/heimdall back to stock and get on mtd partition (by flashing CM7 or any other ics) and try again. I haven't flashed slim from blm partition nor do I know if you made a mistake in the beginning to be sure exactly the problem.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brannonking:
I did get it working. I found a KK4 one-click that repartitioned. From there I followed the CM9 instructions to install the corn kernel with Heimdall. With that and its included CWM I was able install the CM9 nightly. From there I installed SlimICS 3.1.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RDReaver:
Same problem.

For reference, I had the exact same problems as described.

I got into the same issues as I was trying to change my bootscreen using the instructions from MobileTech. Anyways, I started from Serendipity 7, installed CWM 5.X and then CM9 and then Slim ICS 3.6.

It was all going well as per what was happening on the website (should have listened to the caveat that it was only for i9000 based roms) and when the phone tried to reboot, something went wrong or it did not complete, so i pulled the battery and the USB, after which I got stuck in the boot into CWM Touch loop.

Tried all of the suggestions as per in this post with same results and tried flashing a KK4 rom from SD card, but it stops halfway.

Problem is when I tried to flash with Heimdall One click KK4 Rom, there were issues getting into download mode and detecting the phone.

I had to power on, and then in CWM, reboot the phone pressing Volume down + Power, that would bring me to d/l mode. Once in D/L mode, the computer could detect my phone, however:

-When I do an adb device check it doesn't show up.

-In heimdall it could detect the phone but when trying to flash I would get the error "Handshaking with Loke... Failed ERROR: Failed to receive response!"

-Odin would detect the phone but when trying to flash with one click roms but it would not proceed.

I played around with it for awhile and this is exactly what I did so if someone else is experiencing issues try this.

Switch computers and install Samsung drivers (old computer might have some configuration issue)

Remove and replace battery, plug USB into computer, press volume down + power and then plug USB into phone. (if it doesn't work, remove and replace batt, power on with usb plugged into phone, auto boots into CWM, in CWM select reboot phone and immediately while phone is starting to reboot press volume down + power). That should put you in d/l mode.

Computer should then detect phone.

Run heimdall one click kk4 rom.

It will use zadig to ask you to choose replace driver (this is where i think it worked as i different from earlier times) replace the driver and then change the options to install WCID driver, i basically installed all the options i could find, but i didn't use extract files.

This time I flashed with heimdall and it worked.

I thought I was screwed, and was going to sell the phone for a replacement LCD screen, but thankfully i got it running again.

Now to try that boot screen replacement again....
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yani2000:
This happens if you don't follow the EXACT instructions! :(

I flashed Slim ICS from GB based kernel/CWM and not from ICS based kernel/CWM and got the exact same problems.

In Odin I had to flash stock GB ROM from Samsung (PDA, MODEM, CSC, PIT --- all ticks checked except Flash Lock & EFS Clear) to get my partitions back (boot and system among the most important ones).

And then I had to flash an ICS kernel/PDA (like Semaphore or Devil) again in Odin with only bootloader and reset time checked.

All is working fine now! :victory:
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enettrek:
Hello I'm new on the epic forums here, ppcg is my home normally... I really need a epic kernel that will allow 2wcr to work. For those that don't know 2wcr stands for 2 way call recording. The only way possible on most android phones is with a customer kernel... Such as the freedom kernel based on below for the evo.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1496488

Does anyone know of one for epic and if not can they implement the 2wcr patch into a current kernel for me to patch. My evo died and assurion doesn't have any in stock at the moment so I'm trying to make do with my secondary line. I need to be able to record all customers that call in just in case the city tries to pull something saying I solicited rides from permited cabs when in this state a verbal contract and state issued tags gives me the right to pick up anyone who calls me within the state.

Thanks in advance.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mrsexypants:
I saw it in a screenshot for the music player was wondering if there was something for grooveshark, pandora, or spotify that does the same?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Presbycusis:
I know Android Music Player has controls in the status bar pull-down menu and depending on the Android version (like CM7) sometimes is on the lockscreen as well. You really don't need one with Pandora or anything like that because the icon appears in the status bar pull-down menu and if you click it it takes you right to the song playing.

Maybe it could be built into a rom but I don't think there is an app for that! :cool:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] crusecontrl:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mrsexypants:

That's awesome I'm going to try that right now.

The thing I miss most about my Captivate with CM7/9 is that they were getting much better with the lock screen controls working with Grooveshark. The first time I saw it, it would work 50/50 with Grooveshark or starting the stock music player. I think that GS did a fair bit of updates to their mobile app in order to make it work better with media controls now though...

I have spent a fair bit of time corresponding with the kids at GS and all I can say is they are freaking AWESOME!!! Grooveshark is my favorite program on the internet EVER!

They also gave me this lil gem, so I kinda love them. Really impressive devs at GS though, that's for sure.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zouz0una:
This problem started when I was trying to root my phone with Rachmat3's method when it couldn't mount sd card... Although I tried I tried with many ways nothing happened... always the same message: failed mount /sdcard..

I managed to root it somehow and I flashed Resurrection remix 1.0.. So far so good.. I downloaded rom manager(don't know why exactly, just read that it was helpfull) and noticed that i had no clockworkmod so i flashed it by rom manager.. I guess this means that now I have it installed in my phone.. which means that if I reboot my phone into recovery mode it will launch cmd or if not through recovery mode i'll find it into sdcard and install it from there... Right??? Correct me if I'm wrong please... So although I see in Rom manager that I have clockworkmod it doesn't launch in recovery mode... even if I try reboot into recovery through Rom manager when it goes into recovery, stops after a while with this message can't found cache/update.zip.. So I think maybe the problem is that this file misses(I don't know why of course.. i sure not delete it myself on purpose) is there any way to download it manually and put it into cache throw root browser??? Dont know... just saying! Or I don't know... am I missing something????
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
If you want CWM recovery, you need to flash a kernel which includes it such as CF-root or any of the custom ones.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zouz0una:
I used CF-root already...:( it's the only method I managed to root it cause i'm on ICS... I downloaded CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-PROPER-v5.4-CWM5.zip from this page.

[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
A friend of mine has a cable that has a female USB connection at the end, and he uses it to plug flash drives into his phone (Samsung Galaxy Note). I thought this was pretty much the coolest thing ever, so I plugged it into my Rezound, and... nothing.

Is this a hardware issue, or could our phones possibly support this super-cool connection method with a little ROM tweak?
[HTC Rezound] zone23:
I believe on the Motorola Xoom it was added to the kernel. So I would say its something that needs to be added to the kernel.
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
USB host is not enabled on a Sense ROM. Heck I don't think it is on non AOSP ROMs(unless the Mfg specifically adds it)
[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
I believe its a kernel issue, it could probably be patched in pretty easily.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] AddisonMorrow:
I noticed after updating to the OTA AT&T ICS upgrade my battery is acting weird... I have the battery widget from HTC hub on my homescreen. As soon as my battery gets down to around 25% it will jump down to 14% every time. Like ill be on it scroll homescreens to find the widget and look at it and it will say 27-25% remaining and then ill put it in my pocket and around 5 min later it will ding and pull up the power saving mode and say 14% remaining!!! Now I don't think im loosing battery because it will stay on 14% for around 15 min and then will drop down to 13% but i just want to know why this is happening?!? Any one else?

this is a huge no, no to create your own thread, creating threads are for developers posting roms, kernels, devs, tutorials ect... your thread will be deleted, post your question in the Q&A section of the forums the proper area, not development, or use search function, they have the rules for a reason, and the noob video when you sign up to xda explaining how everything works and the rules, I can't believe people still do this, when you need to read the rules, and they make you watch the video when you sign up.

[HTC ChaCha] fiveseasons:
I have a S-ON chacha. Software-Version 1.54.401.2. I tried to root the phone manually using zergRush and copying su to /system/bin but without success.

I connect to the phone via adb and I am able to successfully run the zergRush exploit on the phone and remount /system.

When I check for root and rw-access on /system this is what I get:

C:\zergRush\files>adb shell id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root)

C:\zergRush\files>adb shell df
...
/system: 266240K total, 255716K used, 10524K available (block size 4096)
...

C:\zergRush\files>adb shell mount
...
/dev/block/mtdblock3 /system yaffs2 rw,relatime 0 0
...

C:\zergRush\files>adb shell "ls -l /system"
...
drwxr-xr-x root shell 2011-11-01 06:55 bin
...

OK, I am root, have rw access to /system and there is some 10000K free, so lets copy su to /system/bin

C:\zergRush\files>adb push su /system/bin/su
failed to copy 'su' to '/system/bin/su': Out of memory

What's this? su is just 20K. But OK, I'll free up some more space and remove Maps.apk

C:\zergRush\files>adb shell ls -l /system/app/Maps.apk
-rw-r--r-- root root 7276623 2011-11-01 06:47 Maps.apk

C:\zergRush\files>adb shell rm /system/app/Maps.apk
rm failed for /system/app/Maps.apk, Directory not empty

Could somebody explain to me what is the case here? There is apparently enough space on /system and Maps.apk is not a directory. Where do these error messages come from?

I could not get a detailed description what S-ON means. But it seems to do things even a local root account cannot circumvent?

Could I solve these problems with an unlocked bootloader (which will not give me S-OFF)?

Thank you.
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Afaik /system/bin/ has a restricted memory that you cannot free up by deleting anything from /system/apps/. Not sure about this though.

At the same time, unlocking the bootloader should probably work as zergRush is known to have issues with ChaCha.
[HTC ChaCha] fiveseasons:
Thanks. After finally unlocking via htcdev.com it says "UNLOCKED" instead of "S-ON". zergRush works and writing to /system is possible.

Hi Guys,

The GB one isn't 800x480 either, though it does look very sharp as it is (due to the pixelation). I've tried enlarging that with several filters but didn't get anything that i liked enough to keep, but i think i will give it another shot in a different way soon.

Hi i am absolutely new to flashs,mods and so on.

So my question is ... what ROM is probably the best in terms of speed, stability and especially USABILITY for my galaxy nexus GSM ??? and dont really like the stock ones, so maybe someone can suggest a really good custom one ....

pls help me !

kind regards from

3pikur
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] THE_Roen:
I prefer AOKP with Glados Kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
It has been said before that there is no "best" ROM, every user has different preferences and requirements in a ROM. Try them all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Realistically speaking, it is impossible for one to sit down and try every ROM. Because in order to fully experience the ROM you need to have it installed for a couple of days to conclude.

The best way to find the best 'ROM' is to look at the thread and read it's features. Read the first couple of posts, then start reading posts backwards. Like what you see? then try out the ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3pikur:
Ok thanks Buddys ... i just try it out ... Maybe i find one fitting my imagination.

peace to y'all
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msedek:
Well i have tried a lot also spent some bucks getting things trying to get better and after all that i figured that nothing its better than a stock image rooted in the long way Google fix the glitches and bugs and the system its way more stable and reliable
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
Well its not impossible.. And you're right a few days of having each one installed is necessarily to draw a conclusion. What I meant was try them all that you find appealing. I wouldn't expect anybody to flash one that they didn't like the looks of just to "try them all" lol.

I'm sure you will there is plenty to choose from! Happy flashing.

I prefer more customization than stock. I was on stock for months and finally got tired of it recently. I flashed AOKP and have really been enjoying all the extra options like the toggles and the custom batteries and such. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Lol who knows. Someone might take the wrong way and actually download every single one of them and try them if they have the time to do so :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Media_Blitz:
No best rom. However, you can use this as a reference point: I am using AOKP b29 with Morfic's Trinity Kernel and all is smooth and great battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Q.Entity:
I am quite sure there are plenty of people who have time to download and try each one of them...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] madaopul:
I usually start by thinking of the specific options and customization that I want. From there just spend time looking at all of the roms available and if they contain what you want. If you can't find anything that way start flashing until you find what you want. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SocialReject:
I flash every ROM that gets posted. I then record battery life and usability.

Impossible?

Sent from the future.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Not everyone has the leisure to do that because there are so many ROMs and kernel combinations. The chances of testing EVERY single little thing with the same variables such as reception, apps, background data, usage (heavy, moderate, minimum usage), these are just many of the variables that affect battery life.

By the time you complete that task, something newer will be out. It's like asking, "what's the best phone?" are we going to buy every single phone and try it? No.. we're going to look at user feedback and draw our own personal conclusions on which is the best for us because there is no best phone/ROM/kernel... the best one is the one that fits our personality.

No need to be a jerk.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jordanprudent:
Aopk will do you perfectly from what your saying. Give milestone 4 a flash, stable quick loads of customisable options for you to play with. No Lagg, excellent performance aswell as battery life.

Nothing else springs to mind in terms of stability, other good roms out there and cm9 however it's in builds with no milestone, so less stable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jordanprudent:
Ow yeh and flash Franco kernel milestone 2, brings excellent performance and brilliant battery life. Put em together and bang there you go
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mudferret:
CM9 is ridiculously stable at the moment; they just have a different definition of "stable". That said, for people who like a plethora of customizations; it's not there yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wanderfowl:
As everybody points out, your choice of ROM is personal, so I'd just start flashing until you find one you love. Find a popular one (AOKP, Gummy, Code name, Tranquilice) and flash it. If you're in love, stick with it, if something bugs you, find another ROM that doesn't have that.

The nice part about Nandroid backups is that there is little risk of flashing something new, and you'll likely know within a few hours whether a given ROM is right for you, and can revert back easily.

For me, once I installed Gummy (Lean kernel), nothing else lasted more than a few hours on my phone. I may flash something else every so often, but I keep coming back. That's ROM love.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jordanprudent:
That's true, I used it and it was very stable. Didn't use it for a long period though and as they are in nightlies still though they wouldn't be as stable. As you say though customisation wise its not there yet
