[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
No, ROMS are not compatible from CDMA to GSM versions and vice versa. It will severely mess up your device.

There are leaked 4.0.4 builds for the CDMA model, but again they're not official, just leaks. That's why people are complaining.

There are 3rd party replacement dialers. The stock dialer doesn't do this, and is a highly requested feature from Sense (which you have).

Well the current situation shows that the CDMA model will get updates a bit slower than the GSM model. This is just going to happen since Verizon has to do their own testing and add their own network stack to what Google approves and moves out. It won't be a HUGE delay, but it'll be there. Think of it this way: Google isn't going to hold back a GSM update if the CDMA one isn't ready to go. When one's done, they'll release it.

Now remember, CDMA and GSM models don't need the same fixes/changes. As we noted above, the ROMs are not compatible. They are different devices when it comes to network connections (obviously). Fixes for one are not fixes for the other. Just because one gets 4.0.4 doesn't mean the other will. It may get 4.0.5 or .6, then GSM will get 4.1 and CDMA will get 4.1.1, etc...

As far as Jellybean goes, who knows? No one knows what the requirements will be or how long it'll take to get onto the GNex. It'll be slower, no doubt, but one of the reasons ICS is "slow" on the Nexus S is that Gingerbread to ICS was a HUGE jump. We don't know how big that jump will be to Jellybean.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jakob95:
About the leaks would you say they run just as well as the official 4.0.4 that is out on the unlocked Galaxy Nexus phones?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
I dunno I don't have a Verizon device (so glad for many reasons) so you'd have to ask them. It is a leak and not official, and it was leaked quite a bit ago, so its far from prime time ready.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jakob95:
Some other stuff I wanted to ask are the 4.0.4 ROMs for this device stable just like the official ROM is? Like AOKP or CyanongeMod 9 will they run stable on the Verizon Galaxy Nexus so we can get 4.0.4?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
It will never be as stable as stock 4.0.4 when it OTAs. As I said they're integrating a leaked build and also commits from the GSM 4.0.4 update. Its a Frankenstein type of deal. There will undoubtedly be bugs.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus i9250
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jakob95:
Well the main reason I want a Galaxy Nexus for is to not even put in custom ROMS. Cause sorry to say but lots of times they are just really buggy and non stable compared to the OTA updates. They could be better such as having a newer version of Android in it but also buggy as well. I just want something that works, and that's why I decided to get the Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Yeah but custom roms on a nexus are a little different than custom roms on other devices cause the full code is available. Not true with other devices. Nothing is hidden so no hacks are needed to get things to work. Custom roms can be coded as good as stock rom if the devs want.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jakob95:
Did some research and found out that Verizon controls the Galaxy Nexus updates and not Google. But why does Apple control the Verizon's iPhone updates, and not Verizon? Couldn't Google do the same?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Because Verizon bends over for Apple.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
You would think so. But Google just bent over to get Verizon to play ball. Corp bull**** at its finest. Apple just has the balls to say my way or go screw yourself. Sigh...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jakob95:
Would you say that it would be a smart choice to get the Galaxy Nexus in August? Because I am either going to get that phone, or maybe I should wait to see what the iPhone 5 is?

Hey XDA.

I was wondering if any of you guys could help me sort out an issue I've been having with youtube.

I have a 12Mb/s connection through AT&T U-verse and I can't even load a 720p youtube video without lag.

This only happens with youtube because I can play HD videos on Vimeo with no problems whatsoever and can download torrents at 1 megabyte a second.

Youtube speed test says my average download speed is only 2.1 Megabits a second, nowhere near my 12 megabit connection.

Is this an AT&T issue or is it a youtube issue?

What can I do to help stop this?

Screenshot attached.
[Networking] linuxnubee:
could be anything

Hi there your drop in speed could be a number of from youtube usage(other people), open background applications like facebook gmail syncing etc i suggest turning all that off then try using youtube again other than that alot of people on the yt review section are saying its only with the latest updates so if you have an old backup try restoring that and see if it makes a difference again im no expert but some useful tips i hope ive given you

Also forgot to mention try wiping your cache aswell it gets pretty full once a while depends on yt usage
[Networking] emuhack:
You also have to remember that ATT shares its data connection with your TV (FAIL) so if you are watching tv or having the DVR record anything your speed will do down... That is why i will NEVER EVER get ATT because i hate the fact that they steal bandwidth from other devices... So your best bet with the youtube is to not be doing anything else on the TV or other computers... Or depending on your area you can switch to cable INET and TV as you WILL NEVER have that issue!!!

:)
[Networking] ursubpar:
Actually, I already had that in mind. I tested even with all tv receivers disconnected.
[HTC Rezound] QuintonS:
I've looked through the forums and such for an answer. But no answer is as simple as I need it to be.

Recently, I tried to root my device. I used fastboot and unlocked my boot menu or whatever it's called.

After all of this, it seems to run just fine, except it can't connect to the mobile network at all.

On any forum thread given, it says to flash the PH file or check the S-off and other things, and to be honest, I have no idea what these are. I just need a simple "do this and do that" help walkthrough.

What I want is to return the HTC Rezound to it's out-of-box state. Basically factory recovery. Please put it as simple as you can.

A bit of extra information is: I tried to root when my phone had the OST update installed, and forgot to check about it.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
Making a major change to your device and not understanding the process is how you break things. You should read through and understand what you are going to attempt before starting.

You did put the cover back on?
[HTC Rezound] Dalamar1320:
Again, the most OBVIOUS fix is, have you put the battery cover back on the phone? Mostly when people first see this problem is that they leave the back off.when performing the root method, forgetting that the antennas are on the battery door.
[HTC Rezound] QuintonS:
Yes the cover is on the back of the device. I was watching a video playlist on YouTube that I followed and his turned out fine but mine just had to have the update I guess...how could I fix this?
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
Hard to tell you what to fix because we don't know what you actually did?

What steps were you using, what did you do?
[HTC Rezound] QuintonS:
I followed this video: How To Perm Root Your Rezound by xXAndroidGuruXx on YouTube
[HTC Rezound] QuintonS:
Idk

I'm not sure what I did , but I reset it's factory image and it seems to be as if it just came out of the box.

Now before I go about rooting it I'll make sure to make a backup image,

learn a bit more about what's going on,

talk to some of my dev buddies,

Try again, carefully.
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
Backup Image?? If you don't have root, you cant do that.

You are not making a lot of sense as to what steps you actually took?

Did you unlock the bootloader yet?

I see you now have two threads for the same thing:

have you tried to port a kernel before? this guide doesn't mention about some spesific important stuff. it will definetely brick our device.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] mai77:
cool

a cool guide. find as pdf attached
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] kurotsugi:
this is only an example. our kernel partition is only 5mb. any size bigger wont work. then how about initbcrm2153 file?the zImage file? i've made two kernel. its difficult. port a kernel is more difficult and definetely not as easy as described in this post.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] AmalD:
this guide is made by Spacecaker

he is developer ... so defenetly it will not brick our device .........
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] AmalD:

if you have any doubts just check the attached file ! !

he also provided with SS ........

we can easily port it into our deveice
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] kurotsugi:
then...prove it. try to port a kernel from mini.

you also forgot this part. whithout this part our device won't work

===============================

then add/replace these in the rom it self ( copy from stock or cm7 )

These are Always needed !!

/lib/libril.so

/lib/libsecril-client.so

/lib/libsec-ril.so

/lib/libdiag.so

/system/hw

/system/modules

/system/etc/firmware , ppp, security, wifi, permission vold.stab

/system/user/keychars, keylayout

========================

one problem also comes from our recovery mode. unfortunately in our device it was stored inside kernel while in other device it was stored in different place.

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Shane:
thx for it i will try it
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] hell_lock:
i dont think its that easy.. if it would hav been then we would hav had a kernel long back!!
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] irfanbagus:
if porting means use kernel binary from one device to other device, not only not easy, but near to impossible. unlike pc which architecture is standardized, every cellphone have their own architecture make it impossible create generic kernel like you find in linux distro. you change hardware, it does't work. you mix with module from different version, it does't work. you mix with module from different compiler version, it does't work.

if porting means source code modification, that could be work, but need a lot of work. if someone ask how hard, last time i write my patch, i need about 6 hour just to add 2 lines modification in kernel source. i use linux in last 9 years and in real life i am a programmer, so reading c source code is something that i do almost everyday. still, i need that 6 hour because linux kernel source code is very complex.

and why op give this thread's title kernel. the tutorial is about using rom from other device using your original kernel.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] mdfzhi:
thank you. i just wanna post the same thing before saw your post, and you're right indeed. theres no such thing as "porting kernel". binary kernel is specific, it'll only work with the device it were originally compiled for.

Is there anyway i can paint the buttons again where it wont just come off? (Since its metal) if anyone has any advice (paint / product) on how I can touch those up, please post. I would love a silver coating to match the back plate although plain white will do too

Any advise, please post

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.concentriclivers.mms.com.android.mms

Note:

1. You need to disable the HTC messaging app or you get 2 notifications, you can simply rename it to mms.apk.bak in root explorer. Just take out bak to reinstall it if you want to go back

2. If you do disable HTC mms then sometimes picture messaging force closes the aosp mms app
