[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Yes, it wipes the device. This is by design!

Well refer to above. Shipping phones with unlocked bootloaders is an absolutely gigantic security issue that shouldn't ever be done. The GSM and Verizon model have locked bootloaders the exact same. They're unlocked the exact same way also, with 1 command line prompt.

As I said, I believe you're confusing

locked bootloader

with

not-unlockable bootloader

.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jedidove:
Fair point, but it far from settles the ethical debate about how carriers have engineered the cell phone market into a digital prison. While I agree with you about the security and CS concerns, the bottom line is that this is yet another example of a case where carriers are using their power to ensure control over their users beyond the legitimate reasons for the practice. Fortunately Google has set the Android platform up to always leave us options to get out. But this is all off topic so it doesn't really make sense to go on about it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jedidove:
Absolutely. Thanks for emphasizing this distinction. I'm glad that the Galaxy Nexus is of the former variant, as I remember some Verizon Motorolas being of the latter.

EDIT: And thanks for reminding me about the "by design" part too. It would certainly defeat the purpose if it didn't lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jedidove:
While we are on the topic though, what are the security reasons for not allowing manual updates with a locked bootloader that are making use of zips that are *signed* by Google and or the carrier? If a carrier is worried about the effects of a test update on their network, then it would seem obvious that they just shouldn't sign it until it reaches a point that they feel safe with.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
The security problems of a shipping unlocked bootloader are not because of your ability to flash updates, it's because it gives 100% access to the phones hardware/firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jedidove:
Sorry, let me rephrase. I get that. What I'm asking is why won't a *locked* bootloader make an exception for a properly signed zip? They already make exceptions for the true over the air updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Because that would allow anyone to flash potentially nasty firmware masked as an OTA file. They're not making an exception when you receive a real OTA, as its being downloaded directly from Google to a folder you can only access with root privileges.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jedidove:
Yea but in order to do that they would have to supply a *signed* OTA to fool the bootloader. I am under the impression that digital signatures aren't easy to spoof. What I'm saying is, if there is a secure automatic path, then certainly there is a secure manual path, and I would think the digital signatures of Google and the provider would be sufficient proof that the update is safe for manual installing.

My sensation keeps restarting once it hits a certain battery percentage. Applications force close and nothing really seems to be working right. I want to completely delete everything and start the phone up fresh.

What would I have to do to do a fresh instal of a new ROM while deleting everything currently on the phone.

Also what would you recommend for stability? Would I need to flash a new firmware with the ROM?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

It depends on the firmware you currently have.

Do you know what it is?

In order to completely wipe your phone,I recommend a SuperWipe.

Have a look at THIS THREAD

It contains everything you need to install an ICS ROM called ARHD(highly recommended)

:)
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Root the phone. Pick a new rom you would like to try or stick with the stock.Do a full wipe grom recovery. Install new rom. Enjoy.

-- To help you out with what shaun said, you dont need fastboot to flash a ROM and a ROM will overwrite your kernel, for this instead of holding search for fastboot, plug in your phone holding the back button for recovery, LED should glow green, then you can use Flashtool to install the ROM for your own phone and you'll be all set.

Thank You For your ROM Supports

Thanks, good to see other roms supporting FC09 and Classic Touch Wiz. Two quick question no wipe means I can install over existing rom or I can do a full format just to be on safe side? Will this install over cleanGB BML cause I want to move to FC09 to get stupid update killed permanent?

=)
[Epic 4G Android Development] SenseiSimple:
In Theory, no-wipe means you can just install over another ROM, but in practice, be sure to back up first. It's ALWAYS best to start clean and do a full format even though it's annoying... but as far as i go, this update was my perfect excuse to start fresh.

CleanGB and SleeperROM had similar modifications so it should be safe... couldn't hurt to try, and if it doesn't work, clean install.

[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
Thanks for this!!

so i installed the full release over the peoples rom. obviously not a good thing to do but i just wanted to test it without having to restore 70+ apps. swype was fcing and google talk had no video. I managed to get those working although swype has no feedback on the keyboard, not sure if it should or not.

does this come with gtalk with video normally or is that something i would have to add?

at any rate, it doesn't seem to be locking up and i could have angry birds space open and browse the web which was impossible on people's rom.

i notice it seems to take a while to deep sleep though, have to test it more tomorrow and probably do a clean install tomorrow. something about cm_vnote or something like that seems to be doing the wakelock fairly often.

the most major thing i noticed was that gps status will only say its locked onto 2 satellites, no more than 2. its obviously locking onto more though because the error is at like 3 meters and i believe it won't show location on less than 3 satellites. is that just an error with the display on the rom?

[Epic 4G Android Development] dbpaddler:
Is it really a move up? The 4.3" qhd is pretty much a wash when you realize your capacative buttons are now on the screen. Seems to take you back to wvga. You lose the replaceable battery, and it's smaller than the 1800mAh batteries you can fit in the Epic. But you get the S4 and ICS. I'm just not sold on it yet. Plenty of time to see if sammy will bring the Blaze q over to Sprint.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
OK,

Once again for those that want to run this ROM and are having freezes or lousy performance, choose how you want to do it:

BEFORE FLASHING:

Use 7zip or Winzip and open the ROM zip. Navigate to system\etc\init.d folder.

Deleted all files in that folder. Close file and flash.

AFTER FLASHING:

Use Root Explorer or ES File Explorer with root explorer enabled

Navigate to the system\etc\init.d folder on your phone.

Make system R/W. Delete all files in that folder.

Reboot.

Also, tried to search Play store and couldn't find Services Framework, or Gtalk. Maybe because they're trying to use google+ to consolidate all of this stuff into one program?
[Epic 4G Android Development] offtohavasu:
Narrowed down the issue. It's freezing only with ring tones on the SD Card. Ringtones built in work fine. In fact, it will freeze any time you a ringtone is played from the SD Card (in Messaging app, etc.)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nashdogg:
You won't find Google services framework on the market. Try pulling that from another fc09 ROM like The Peoples ROM or my Cut&Paste (clean) version and replaceing it in the sleeper ROM zip. And either search talk or Google talk on the play store. Or I could put a flashable together to try.

Voice Mail?

I bought Epic sliders for my wife and myself last year. I rooted mine first and installed SleeperROM, and had no desire to go back, especially observing the vast improvements over my wife's stock version. I've since brought her into enlightenment with SleeperROM as well.

However, my Epic recently died a gruesome death, and was given the opportunity to replace with a (Sprint) Galaxy Nexus. I'm loving the JB in a lot of ways, but have yet to get it tweaked as nicely as SleeperROM on the Epic.

Here's my biggest annoyance currently: In SleeperROM, my voice mail downloaded locally and retained messages that I could play even when out of signal area. I've looked through the tweaks listing for SleeperROM, but can't identify just what app provided that functionality, which seems to be missing in JB. Any pointers are appreciated...

NEWS, EVERYONE

To anyone who is still following this, i didn't get a new phone, life has just gotten in the way this year... i've been suffering the crappy FC09 release i put out for a while now and decided to go ahead and put out an update. This should update smoothly over the FC09 into a hybrid of FC09 and EL30. One thing that was dropped is the Wimax/Wifi autoselect, because it caused me more grief than did good. Another thing that should be fixed if anyone encountered the issue is inability to play videos

Hope this proves useful to many of you still on the TW roms.

Wow, I'm surprised to have gotten a notification for this thread. Sensei, props for continuing to deliver, especially for a device which is over two years old now.

Is this something that has been addressed and fixed? I will go ahead and do a clean flash of this ROM update and hope for the best.

Thanks again!

Update: Just flashed the newest version and started fresh. When I try to select a notification sound via settings, it still locks up. Suggestions?
