[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hykhleif:
I am having sudden reboots, which started after flashing all these ICS roms lately. Sudden reboots is something i can't tolerate at all, with almost every customs rom I flashed there is sudden reboots, I don't know why? I need to test again stock roms without root to make sure that those sudden reboots are due to customs roms and not due to a faulty device ( especially after flashing so many roms ). I AM TIRED OF FLASHING

I will go back to stock rom, any recommendation which stock rom to flash.

I don't care about root, i care about not having such probs like sudden reboots,

I will post in this thread daily with answers and that kind of shizzle.

What's working so far?:

- Screen

- Touch

- Almost no FC's

- HW Acceleration

- Multi-language

- Galaxy S III accuweather widget :D

- Boot animation

Any plans to bring this to the Sprint GN? I personally would love to see it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Coentje44:
Theres no bootanimation.zip in the rom. Its called bootsamsung.qmg and is only compatible with samsung roms.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
Interesting. Not a fan of touchwiz at all, but want to try it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
What dpi are you running it at and does it effect playstore compatibility?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tonker83:
I would guess because there's no download and people seem to have a blinding hate of touchwiz around here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eksasol:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Coentje44:
Fixed it.

And for everyone else:

A beta build will be up later today.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
Will this be GSM only?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Coentje44:
For now, yes. but it shouldn't be hard to port it to Verizon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mellll:
I am really excited for this. I love Touchwiz, and this latest version is OMG SWEEEET

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nexus9988:
I knw you said this is a GSM version but will you personally be working on a CDMA version for Verizon or will you leave it up to another developer to port over too?

Very Excited to see Ports coming to the galaxy nexus dev center =P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swimdude1120:
I think that should put you at dev-god status right now. You are awesome dude!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] caifan:
Not a dev...but would love to see this ported on my VZW GN!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedfreak228:
I would love to have this on verizon too
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fix-this!:
so this will be a full rom right? if soo i cannot wait to try it out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DirgeExtinction:
Hopefully a Toro dev will see this and port it for us. :)

I cant wait for this ROM!

ON MY FACE PLZ!

Hey if you have time, could you make a video. It would be awesome dude! Just need something to hold me over til a release lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mellll:
Its coming soon! I cant wait either. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
Am I going crazy or was this thread originally about a Galaxy Note port? I don't think I am going crazy because I have a post in here asking about the dpi setting because you said the Note res was a little higher.

Someone please back me up on this before I check myself into the loony bin.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I'd chuck you in the loony bin regardless. :p

That said, I saw the same thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
I think I have to many issues even for that place!

So now seeing that this has changed to an SGS3 Rom, I am pretty excited. Well at least if it is actual port and not just SGS3 apps over a GNEX rom.....

Anyway, aren't you a dev of some sort? You do carry the title. Get to work for us Verizon users would ya!!!!!!!

No update? I thought it was going to be up today :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kipue:
With the base change, probably created a delay.

Must be a fix this thing/break that thing deal :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tonker83:
Or he just likes to torture us.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swimdude1120:
Nah he's probably working on getting RIL up and running. No point having a rom if it doesn't have voice/text/data right? Then getting the camera software to work. This is probably still an Alpha class rom. It might be a long excruciating wait, but it will be worth it in the long run. Just like when I had my GS2 and how long it took to get a stable CM9 rom running on there. Trust me when I say overall its in our best interest. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] formuk:
Can we get this for CDMA Sprint GNex please :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tonker83:
Oh I don't really care when it comes out honestly. Just some people like to play with stuff and the state of the rom is of little concern. Go look at the sense 4.0 rom, it basically boots and that's about it, but you can try it if you want.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] koaaN:
RIL is already working ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dallastx:
Saw the exact same thing last night. Was wondering why it was in the Nexus forum. Someone edited there post ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
I just hope this isn't like all the other port threads. Someone posts a new thread. Shows some pictures. Says they are going to release something soon. Then you never see anything or hear anything from the dev.

Let's keep our fingers crossed but I wouldn't get to excited.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Coentje44:
Nah I don't like that :)

I had some issues with my pc last night (windows8:o) and will get a build up in a few hrs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
Does Smart Stay work? Really the only appealing feature for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
Cool, I am rooting for ya! Let's break the trend of failed ports!!!

Is there enough working to use as a daily driver?

And that's why you are awesome dude!!! Yeah I can't wait to tinker with windows 8 when I get home
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] idan_mo:
great job man!

been waiting for this rom!

you didn't mention so i guess RIL & data & WiFi doesn't work?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] landrian18:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stylen:
So, while we're waiting on OP to give us a link...

I got to play with a S3 today, and the performance of TouchWhiz 5 on S3 is simply insane. To me it makes GNex running CM9 look slow. No doubt there is significant software vodoo done by Samsung devs to make it that smooth, but I'm wondering how much is it simply down to S3's 1.4 quad core cpu. Is it reasonable to expect any kind of similar performance out of S3 rom running on a GNex?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Imagine how fast it would be WITHOUT touchwiz on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mellll:
The S3 launcher TW5 is uber smooth on my GNEX.

It makes anything else I have ever tried look laggy. (CM9) (ROM REV) (AOKP) (STOCK) (NOVA) (TREBUCH) (GO LAUNCHER) etc.

So yes, its the best launcher for ME, since its so smooth with no lag whatsoever. And it looks great!

If you have never tried. Here you go, get a sample and try for yourself.

Nothing else compares.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Coentje44:
The rom is "pretty" large , 725mb

Let the uploading begin=)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theROMinator:
Se... seven hundred... :O

Is the system partition big enough?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AdelosMeansUnknown:
Very exciting. As asked previously, do features such as SmartAlert or SmartStay which uses the hardware of the phone work with this ROM? If not, would it be possible to add these features?

I'm sure these features are mostly software, correct?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Coentje44:
Untested~

But it might be possible to add the features.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
So is data, voice, wifi working. Anyway you can update that OP with this info. Can it be used as a DD?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] prking07:
Is the rom rooted and with clockwork recovery? Anxious to try it!:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Coentje44:
No, only Data is working.

It's randomly reboots some times so If I were you I wouldn't use it as my daily drive.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oecus4869:
If i donate you... Can you Fix it? :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] idan_mo:
you're pleased to donate him anyway for his great effort.

OP i'll glad if the s3 features hardware related will work (smart stay for example).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stkiswr:
Getting closer. This would be the best port of all if you are able to master a full port...record book status as far as android goes. Can't wait!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drewgaren:
I already ported the Galaxy SIII to the GNex however the partitions do not match the Galaxy SIII is too large for the GNex. To get it to work it needs to be condensed which I am working on my in my port right now. I would suggest doing so in your port as well if you are having issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] idan_mo:
why won't you work together?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stkiswr:
That's a great idea.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] accordex:
Interesting, I though all new ics phones had no dedicated system partition it was all one chunk thus eliminating the need to move apps to sd?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rayiskon:
U mean data partition? :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] accordex:
I guess... the gs3 has 16 gigs...all 16 available for apps / system / data...everything... one partition...not the case with gnex?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
What ever happened to the Rom that was being uploaded?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbdysreal:
I believe the nex has all space open to whatever needs it too. Hence the sdcard isn't an sdcard, but just a link to /sdcard. That was why Google chose this method.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smoothcrm7:
Awesome looks like its coming along nicely! Thanks for all the hard work!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tonker83:
I know he said he was going to post it the last 3 days and one point he was uploading. This is why you don't give eta.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
This is also why you don't donate till you see an actual product :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EKnofsky:
If you use Titanium Backup it reports only 674mb for the System ROM and than 30.2GB for Internal. Obviously Internal would be different for the GSM model, but I feel that both have the same space available for System
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WoZZeR999:
A common trick for the incredible was to put some of the stuff in /data. Most of the apps can be easily moved, as well as some of the other folders.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tonker83:
So is this DOA now?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DirgeExtinction:
...really? He gave a status report not that long ago.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tonker83:
He also said he was going to upload something 3 days ago. One point he WAS uploading and nodda.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
Exactly. If someone says it is uploading three days ago and then not a word, that usually tells you something.

Create new threads, post some photos which are probably fake, get some donations and never upload anything that works.

I clearly remember what he did in the SGS2 forums
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raymond4:
Damn give him a break maybe something went wrong with the rom or he is busy with something else. He will eventually release it. relax everyone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jellydroid13:
Wow u didn't even spell his name right
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] malikadnanm:
I hope that's not true. But even if it is who cares. If a person is dumb enough to donate to something that hasn't even been released yet they deserve to be played.

Devs should never hype before release. It causes this stuff to happen.

So it is all Fake?

HMM... yeah... he is Ctrl+C,Ctrl+V `s Mate...

probably fake..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] idan_mo:
i hope you're wrong because i want so much sgs3 rom on my nexus.

lucky me, i did not donated to him since i donate only to actually work.

so there is no hope for sgs3 rom, huh? :\
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
Let the dude speak for himself. Don't speak for him. He hasn't been to busy to visit XDA since his post about uploading, he had been in here plenty since then.

This thread should be closed until something is produced because right now it just looks like a way to take peoples money.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raymond4:
Okay if he has done this before on another thread & everyone knows he isn't goin to produce any rom then why did they even donate there money to him if he was goin to pull this again. Well in my book the people are idiots for donating they should have just waited for him to release it first
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TRusselo:
Sorry but creating threads before there is a tangible project to share with the community is frowned upon, and asking for donations before there is a project available is against xda rules

We will be more than happy to re-open the thread when there is something to share. beta or final release, anything. As pre-release threads usually turn sour and fill with off topic junk and flaming.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] miniblue:
Did a CWM Backup of rooted NT and then went to B&N and asked them to repartition. They looked at book system and asked if it was rooted. I said yes. They indicated the process reverts the Nook to stock 4.1.2 and would erase everything on the tablet. Did I still want to go ahead. I went through it and got a 4.1.2 Book to play with. Once home I booted to CWM front SD and restored my backup.

Now I have my rooted Book with 4.1.0 and CM7 via SD. Oh yes - 8 gb of internal storage.

Just so I understand, does CWM stay on there, or do you have to reinstall CWM?

Don't think so. The process takes the Nook to total stock 4.1.2. I ran CWM from SD. Just this morning I put CWM on internal using the fastboot process and it was really simple.

Dear frens,

I've rooted my HOX and unlocked bootloader. However, I still use stock rom and kernel.

My question is, can I update the software straight away without unroot back my phone? Some of my frens told me that once you unroot your phone, you cannot update your software even though u r still using the stock rom. Is it true?

Please advise.

Thanks, guys. :p
[HTC One X] bogfather:
You will have to relock your bootloader and flash stock recovery to perform the ota. Some people recommend unrooting first before doing an ota just incase there's any problems
[HTC One X] treebill:
As you are on stock there is no need to relock your bootloader so long as you are doing the update via OTA (over the air) i.e from your handset.

you will however need to flash stock recovery before doing the update.
