+1. Root it & put 4.0.4 on it yourself. Eff vzw.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
There wasn't a CDMA Nexus One, so yes it got its updates from Google.

This is actually nothing new, nothing has changed. Its been the exact same with the NS4G on Sprint. Verizon has closed-source radio code that they have to add themselves and test before sending it out. THAT is why you're waiting for Verizon.

As for the apps, just disable them and stop crying. Its the same deal, if a phone is gonna be on Verizon it's gonna have those apps.

If it bothers you that bad, buy a GSM model.

This has been argued/explained at length in many threads, blogs, podcasts and posts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DirgeExtinction:
CDMA Nexii are slightly different. They get updates sent from Google to the carriers(ie Sprint and Verizon). GSM Nexii on the other hand, get updates directly from Google. It was known for a while now that this was the case, which means you didn't do your research.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vash1053:
Shouldn't have to.

Anyway, it's clear that VZW is incapable of responsibly having a Nexus phone in their lineup. I hope they don't get one ever again unless Google manages to get some leverage on them like Apple does.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Apple doesn't have any special leverages over carriers for OS updates when compared to the Nexus. They need Verizon's proprietary code and testing just as much. They need the same with AT&T and Sprint.

We just don't get any leaks on iOS updates, and Apple only releases an iOS update when its ready for

everyone

. They don't release iOS earlier for their unlocked models because they want to release it for everyone at once. It'd be the exact same deal if Google held the update for everyone and didn't push it till Verizon was done.

And you're right, he shouldn't have to root his phone. If he wants to wait he can wait and he'll get the OTA when its pushed to everyone on the Verizon model. Rooting isn't the only way to get the OTA. It does come w/o rooting if you wait.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blowtorch:
Like mentioned earlier VZW still customizes android with radios and bloatware. So despite the newest Google android releases for GSM deices VZW still tinkers with the latest version goes through a testing phase then pushes it to end users eventually. The beauty of a Nexus phone is user freedom to customize and use roms with ease. Quit waiting on Big Red, take your phone back flash the latest software yourself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
VZW doesn't customize anything. The bloatware is just like 2-3 apps that are Verizon apps.

Radios are handled by Samsung.

Verizon Galaxy Nexus isn't a true 'nexus' device. People will debate with me but honestly it isn't,

1) No images flashed to 4.0.4 (they are archived on Google's website to 4.0.2 now but won't be updated).

2) Carrier has to approve update.

If you want the true Nexus feeling, get the GSM model of the phone.

If you don't want to root / flash your phone, then don't complain about not getting 4.0.4. GSM users have to wait for the OTA as well unless they root and manually flash. You can manually flash 4.0.4 OTA on VZW as well.

But GSM will get it first because they dont have to be approved.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blowtorch:
what you stated here and was really my trying point is that veriosn needs to approve the software including the 2 to 3 apps and radios before the push to users ... i don't think anyone can deny that verison's version isn't true nexus

the only real nexus's are the Yakju/Takju builds ... which any gsm version could be converted to
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
They are updating what binaries they can provide, so don't be so sure they won't be updating images. Your definition of a true Nexus and mine differ.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
VZW Galaxy Nexus still gets updates directly from Google. It just has to be put under review/testing from Verizon before it gets pushed.

Plus, who actually depends on the OTA? You're on XDA after all.

---------- Post added at 05:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:43 AM ----------

The radios are handled by Qualcomm/Verizon. It's a "true" nexus device. It meets all the criteria. Just because it gets a .0.1 revision update a week later (or whatever it was) doesn't mean ****. Seriously? Gonna cry of a couple small bug fixes? As to the CDMA binaries not being available, talk to Qualcomm, they made most of the binaries/radios.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PacerguyDon:
You may not have to wait much longer. Vzw started to push 4.0.4 (Imm76K) last week.

It's in the Vzw Dev forum if you don't want to wait and don't mind unlocking and rooting :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] meganame:
You guys are really proud of rooting your phone. Sounds like you need something bigger in your life. I ask a few questions and suddenly I'm lazy & crying. Really, if this is big enough to get upset over, then you need to lay off the internet a little. Go find something worth getting upset over.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] keith.mcintyre26:
No one is upset. In the time it took creating this thread and replying to posts, you could have rooted and been on 4.0.4. I think that's the point everyone's trying to convey.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
No need to meet harshness with harshness.

Its obvious you're upset about this whole thing or you wouldn't have created a thread about it. You need to just decide what's important to you, read up on it, and if you find you don't want to "wait for Verizon" then I'll tell you again to buy a GSM model.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] meganame:
Ah, well those words conveyed it better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Not really helping... I think what he's trying to get people to understand is that he shouldn't have to root to get the OTA. And all people on XDA do is say "shut up noob, just root your ph0n3".

OP, whether you like it or not this thread is going to turn into a nasty, nasty flame war in a couple pages. Sorry.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
Its true.

They should really stress the fact that XDA is a development site and not Verizon support forums.

Seriously though, you came on XDA and posted this thread. You could've rooted, unlocked, and flashed 4.0.4 by now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vash1053:
Apple most definitely has leverage over carriers. If they didn't, you'd see bloatware on subsidized iPhones & updates being pushed at different times. Leaks don't matter because Apple makes their beta iOS builds readily available to those enrolled in the iOS development program.

A lot of fandroids don't want to admit that there ARE benefits to being a control freak, especially when you're one of the richest and most famous companies in the entire world. Apple doesn't order VZW around, but you can be damn sure that VZW doesn't order Apple around either. VZW telling Apple what changes they want made to the OS? LOL, not going to happen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shamrock13:
Any thread for JUST keyboard themes? I'm trying to update the keyboard on my ROM with a good looking version. I'd prefer to just flash the zip or replace the APK instead of downloading the Store version and installing themes for it.

PRI - Sprint

Most Banners Sprint (legal is VM)

[HTC EVO 3D] XsMagical:
if you flashed the firmware you need to update profile and do a data reset. ##3282# advanced, reset or something like that. I don't know the exact steps since my phone is currently dead.
[HTC EVO 3D] kalelv:
I rooted using htc dev, as Im hboot 1.5. Flashed twr, and then flashed rom... When I reboot, it doesnt goes past the HTC initial screen... what did I do wrong. I followed all instructions...

Saludos a los boricuas en el Foro. Weeepaaa
[HTC EVO 3D] gruesomewolf:
If your 1.5 you also need to fastboot flash the boot.img, or flash GUI, whatever method you choose. You just have to somehow flash the boot.img.

And people please stop flashing that firmware, there are devs on here who have stated it's not good for your phone, why are we still flashing it...?

[HTC EVO 3D] Datguy_n_Disguy:
I'm sorry if I sound retarded, but do we need the firmware for this?

Many people say "no", but sense 3.6 roms never boot for me...
[HTC EVO 3D] gruesomewolf:
Well rom was built of vm leak. The build number does not control data speed. You can change the build number in the build.prop if you choose
[HTC EVO 3D] billbowers:
Again....DO NOT FLASH THE FIRMWARE.... It's really just that simple folks. Don't do it. You'll regret it, and you'll spend hours, like me, trying to get back. Just leave it alone. Flash the rom, flash the boot.img, but leave the firmware alone. Unless you really want ridiculously slow data speeds, dropped calls, signal loss, and a whole slew of other nightmares.
[HTC EVO 3D] gruesomewolf:
Didn't I just see a post from you on the bets thread about you flashing that beats mod made for the sensation ( not safe by the way, it contains jar files ), on decks 3.6. Apparently at least one is booting for you.

Also try looking at chads post on flashing 3.6 kernel and stock firmware .
[HTC EVO 3D] Datguy_n_Disguy:
It is booting. The beats worked... Over speaker. When I put on the head phones everything was gargling and only came out of the left speaker. I used chads kernel (which is what you're talking about).

I revolve heavily around music, so when I found out about the head phone left side, I fled to gingerbread, where my music worked.

If I have to flash chads kernel to use this then I mineaswell just stick to gb.
[HTC EVO 3D] gruesomewolf:
I don't use chads kernel and I have no issues. I can't really explain why it would boot for many others but not yourself, I can just highly recommend you stay away from the firmware update.

Camera trials and tribs

After trying all my tricks (clearing data on cam and gallery, fixing permissions, scanning/fixing SD card via 4ext, staring at the thing funny) I gave up, formatted system, data, factory reset, formatted cache and cleared dalvik and re-installed 1.03 and the sound.zip patch.

After that it worked. Can once again take photos and see the gallery.

Looks like at least a few other people are having the issue over at G&E
[HTC EVO 3D] gruesomewolf:
Cool.....let's also keep in mind that this is a leak of a Rom . They do usually come with some worthy issues here and there. Most of the time is just some minor missing parts, development will go faster and be better once this thing hits a final version. If your having issues that just don't seem right, or that everyone else is not having, try a clean install , it usually helps .

@datguyndusguy........I am also hboot 1.5 still s-on. I just use 4ext with smart flash, has not failed me, and if it does, I will fastboot flash the boot.img.
[HTC EVO 3D] billbowers:
That's how I solved my no pictures and no music issues. Just a clean install again. Also, thanks for the heads up on the generic ics profile in wifi tether That seemed to work great. The original fix worked at first, but then stopped after a day. Hope this one holds up.
[HTC EVO 3D] m03sizlak:
Yeah, I did a clean install the first time I installed v103. Not really inclined to give this ROM a 2nd chance.
[HTC EVO 3D] molitar:
I have had nothing but problems with this ROM. Play Store crashes, almost half my apps crash while not even using them. Super Su what a garbage app that is many of the programs like Root Explorer never triggers Root Permission request with that app. I read alot of users hated SuperSU and went back to SU because it's still too buggy. Half my games will not even run video properly says can not run video and stops.

BTW I installed this with a wipe first complete wipe than used Titanium Backup Pro to restore my apps so it should not be this unstable but it is.
[HTC EVO 3D] XsMagical:

[HTC EVO 3D] m03sizlak:
Found a solution to the gallery problem:

In:

/data/data/com.android.providers.media/databases

The file permissions on one of the databases are wrong. On my phone the file names were:

external-ce628766.db-shm

external-ce628766.db-wal

These files were both owned by root, whereas the other files in the directory were owned by "app_12". I just did a "chmod 0666 *" in that directory and all of a sudden gallery worked fine. A better solution is probably to do a chown on the files to make them owned by whater userid app_12 is.

You're welcome. I'll check and see if this fixes the camera takes 0-byte .jpg files problem as well.
[HTC EVO 3D] molitar:
Apps that crash on me on regular basis.. btw I tried another Dalvik Cache Wipe and permission fix.. no go.

I got rid of supersu and fixed this problem by:

Installing "Superuser" (the one by chainsdd) from the Market. Then run this app, go into the settings, and update the su binary.

Delete /system/app/Superuser.apk

Reboot.

[HTC EVO 3D] djaykid11:
So you got tethering to work by reverting back to the old superuser? Or are these two separate things? haha I looked back and he got it working by setting the device to generic ICS, which doesn't work for me. I even uninstalled and reinstalled wifi tether, followed the directions and nothing. I touch "start tethering" and the pop-up comes up like it wants to start but the pop-up never goes away, like it never actually starts. I'm confused. I need to get this working because tethering is my sole form of internet at home!
[HTC EVO 3D] mijjah74:
Completely. I had a buddy from sprint get me a brand new 3d for $75. Been playing with it and like it enough, I deactivated the sammy this morning and activated the 3d. Still deving for the sammy obviously but enjoying the 3d. Maybe I'll finally root my wifes now that I got my feet wet.

I have a nexus coming also, not sure how soon, but another buddy is donating it to me to dev on.

Yes, it would appear so. I had the same problem you were having. I tried the generic ICS setting. I checked off the other options as a previous poster suggested. I got the same hang up as you. I downloaded the Superuser from the marketplace, went into supersu/settings and checked off clean up so alternate Super user app can be used. Then followed steps that M03 used. My tether is now working. PM me if you need help.
[HTC EVO 3D] HammDroid:
Had you previously updated the binaries in SuperSU? Just curious, because the SuperSU that comes in all of these ICS VM leaks has old binaries and needs to be updated. If you ran wifi tether prior to updating, and then updated after the fact, you'll still need to re-add wifi tether back to SuperSU permissions.
[HTC EVO 3D] dvegaman:
Yes, I had previously updated the binaries in SuperSU. Not sure why it wasn't working. It is working just fine now.
