[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] simplicityy:
Exactly. And those are the two I come back to try ever so often. But then I just can't get used to it. I'm just in love with this current ROM.

Also, perhaps I just never let the ROM settle in, since I usually get an anxiety attack and recover a nandroid after a few hours, maybe 1 day if I'm lucky. But the pop up correction window really kills it for me. If there was a flashable zip to remove that, I might be able to play around with ICS roms a little longer.

And to Nick, whenever I had ICS rom with the task manager button at the bottom after holding Home, I would notice that the RAM was always at 360+ ~ 400, even after killing all applications and using Fast Reboot. My current ROM is usually around 260~280.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MotoMudder77:
Task manager's do more damager than good, especially for noobs that dont know how to use them. ie your "kill all" concept. Android has always had a built in manager, and with ICS, they figured it out and pulled the user available task manager, Some ****ty companies, samsung, put thier own back in there for idiots that think it helps.

bottom line man, you want GB, your unsupported. There might be some crappy phones still sold with GB, but soon it will be phased out, as like all the other versions of android. Get used to the way it works or you'll be hating life in the future.

I do understand your points, and they are valid. Some people claim GB smoother, some dont. but we dont go backwards with updates, only forward.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] simplicityy:
Never once did I ask for updates or help with the ROM. I've never had this problem with my phone and I had been running the ROM for quite some time, so I highly doubt it's the ROM that's the issue. And I read that whole Task manager stuff a while back, but there are some things that will drain the battery if they stay open. If I leave Voxer on or Gmail, they're going to keep syncing. I don't want to turn off syncing though because I want the syncing for Facebook.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
You can tell it to not sync Gmail but still have other stuff sync, Gmail will always sync when on regardless of whether it is actually open or not
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] simplicityy:
This thread has gotten off topic. I'm pretty sure it's a hardware issue by now.

On the topic of ROMS, until there's a flashable zip to remove the pop up correction window, there's no way I'm going back to ICS.

And on the topic of battery drain, most people are saying they get weaker battery overall: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1675466
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pkfox:
Hi all, I've searched and can't find an answer to this, I would like to be able to flash a stock kernel without having to flash a complete ROM, at the moment I've got the latest OTA from Asus which I've rooted and put CWM on - all is very stable and I'm happy with it. However I like to experiment with custom Kernels , my point is, where can i find a stock Asus kernel (blob or zip I don't mind ) that I can flash using CWM or dd etc... ? My current build is 9.2.1.24 with kernel 2.6.39.4 android@Mercury#1

Many thanks

Pete Kane
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kong:
It's better to backup the whole ROM since most kernels come with their own modules and/or libraries. Backing up only kernel and restore it may cause some issues e.g. Wi-fi not working etc.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pkfox:
Ok, thanks for that
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Archpope:
When I got my Galaxy Nexus, I was more than content never to install a custom ROM on it for two reasons:

1. It had no carrier or OEM bloatware on it. It was as close to the Google Experience™ as one could get.

2. My previous phone was a Samsung Captivate, and no ROM, custom or otherwise, worked very well on it.

Well, that lasted about a month. There was nothing at all wrong with running stock on the GNex. The battery life was incredible. It was super fast. The reception is not so great, but there's nothing a custom ROM could really do about that anyway. It was certainly running well enough.

But I can't leave well enough alone.

I wanted themes. I wanted to make the phone my own in ways that were not possible in the buttoned-down, odexed world of stock ROMs. So, after prudently making a Nandroid backup, I held my breath, and dove headlong into the world of customization. I picked a really obscure ROM at first. I won't say which one it is because I don't want to discourage their work. But, I got more force closes in the first hour of running that ROM than I did in the first month of stock. Since my GNex is my daily driver, that wasn't working for me, but I'm not bitter. A lot of these ROMs are a learning process for the developer as well as the user. I left a bit of well-intentioned feedback in the thread, and moved on to another lesser-known ROM. This one worked a lot better for me. It was very stable, and much to my surprise, the upgrade was entirely free of problems.

I should digress to describe briefly my experience with flashing ROMs on my previous phone, the Samsung Captivate. I originally upgraded because Froyo was delayed, and I didn't like the bloware that AT&T felt the need to add to my device. I don't know if the leaks were bad, or the hardware just wasn't all that great, but each reinstall took several hours to get my device up to where it needed to be, and each firmware had HUGE problems, including regular freezes, and sometimes entire system apps would disappear for no reason. It led me to consider custom ROMs to be a necessary evil, but one that could be avoided on the GNex due to it being a Google phone.

It's clear from my experience that either the hardware or the ROM development has extremely matured over two years. The installation was quick and bug-free. Even the "bad" ROM I started on managed to pick up most of my existing apps, and only took about 30 minutes to install. The "good" ROM was unlike anything I've ever seen before. Not only was the upgrade practically instantaneous, but it even downloaded all my apps from the previous install and started up TiBu to install the system data. I was back up to speed in < 30 minutes, a far cry from the seemingly interminable hours that it took on the Captivate. I've only been running the current ROM for about a day, but if it continues with this stability, I will be a happy camper.

Why did I bother to write this?

1. Some people may be on the fence about whether they should stick to stock or go custom. Having a firsthand account of how truly painless the experience was may help them make a more informed decision.

2. Kraken Rum.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
Just run CM9. Simple.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Any ROM that takes more than ~five minutes to install I abort. I'm not sure how or why you waited half an hour to install one. Also every rom since gingerbread has auto installed apps unless it was specifically disabled.

But, good thoughts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Archpope:
ROMs I tried on Captivate (with varying degrees of success):

ICSSGS

Mosaic

Pinnacle

Fasty

Sensation

Fusion

Cognition

Stock

Many of these I tried multiple versions.

Of those, none of them auto-installed apps. Most of them would be broken when I tried to restore with Tibu and I would have to do a complete SD card wipe to get an extra week of stability.

Point is, whatever awful experiences happened on other ROMs don't seem to apply to the GNex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nodstuff:
The reason roms just work on nexus phones is down to just 4 letters: AOSP.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Will of fire:
I tried some and loved them especially serendipity I loved that rom
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ShredEight02:
THIS. YES.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shockem:
Well this should be persuasive enough for others :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Like I said, it could be auto-disabled. My Thunderbolt autoinstalled apps when I first got it, and my Nexus tries to do the same.

Also, if you are restoring SYSTEM DATA through Titanium Backup, you're doing it all wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spiderjerusalem:
I love the kraken. This thread is for people with great taste in phones and booze lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eksasol:
I have never installed a rom that took 5mminute to install, or flash atleast. However, it did took me 3 hours on my first HTC device to unlock bootloader, downgrade HBoot, S-off, root, cwm and all that. For the nexus it took me the time to type: fastboot oem unlock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Five minutes is a lot, but I didn't think it was too much. Usually if it isn't done in after a minute or two I pull the battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chickenfeeder:
+1 on AOSP

...but you know what, I have tried pretty much every ROM out there and to be honest I find myself always coming back to stock, stock but Rooted and with a custom kernel. At the moment I am running Trinity (literally my first day) and I'm very impressed. This is a stock Galaxy Nexus enhanced; better battery life, faster and with the Trinity's colour settings it even looks better.

There are just so many different ways to customise Android that it'll leave us all playing and experimenting forever. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Archpope:
I should clarify. The part of "installing a ROM" that took place within CWM never took more than 2 minutes. It was all the setup after that which took all the time. I learned very early on not to use TiBu to restore system apps. Even with that, it just never worked properly. Some apps would FC like crazy and have to be reinstalled and setup manually anyway. Some apps would just be gone with no explanation. So, I quit using it. That meant reinstalling each and every app and setting them up the way they were. Reinstalling whichever launcher I was using and putting all the icons and widgets back in place. This rarely took less than two hours, and never less than one. The reason I did this so much is that after two weeks, three at the most, the Captivate would start freezing randomly, for do discernible reason, no matter how little I had installed on it. Until I got to ICSSGS. That was the only stable ROM out of more than a dozen in two years. But by then, I was tired of the treadmill and sold it.

I'll see if the GNex starts freezing. Even if it does, I can restore my Nandroid back to stock and be happy.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] SKLCH:
Hi all,

I am a big fan of the Slim ICS custom Rom. I am using it since 3.2 and got a big smile on my face with every update.

BUT than it was May 26th and Slim 3.9 came out.

After flashing it i uuhmmm.. how can i say this with respect..?

The bootanimation was not my taste... So i created my own Slim ICS bootanimations.

I have put them into a flashable zip for convenience...

ATM i have created two animations, and if i find the time (and if you guys like it) i will create a few more...

I have created them for my phone (I9000) so i can only guarantee it will work on a SGS1.

Just go into CWM and flash the zip...

Please let me know if you like them, or even when you hate them.

have fun and happy flashing.

SKLCH

p.s. is there some way to resize images in posts? let me know..

However, a gradient requires lots of colours to not look ugly. This means big filesize, so i removed the gradient...

[General Questions and Answers] destroyer841:
This may not be the best place to ask but I figured I'd at least try. I bought a Galaxy Nexus about a month ago. Thus began my journey. About 5 days after I bought the phone I had to return it because of a bum screen.

The replacement (which was not easily procured from the Sprint employee in store), started overheating when I used it. I don't know what normal temperatures are for a dual core (my last phone was the OG Evo) but it reached 130 degrees Fahrenheit after about 10-15 minutes of 3G use. This was on a low signal (2-3 bars), but about 120 on 3-4 bars with the same use.

So I got a replacement in the mail to bring my total Nexi count to 3. This replacement is overheating to 120 with about the same use in a low signal situation.

Is this normal? Should I (and can I) argue my way into refurbished phone of a different model? What are my options past the 30 day cycle? I had no idea the phone overheated like this when I bought it and if all of them are this way I honestly feel that I've wasted $200 on a phone that is an inconvenience at best.

I post a tethered solution to bypass pattern/password lock screen to use VPN before (here), it's inconvience when reboot the device. Now I found the untethered solution, hope this can help you.

My device is GN with Google offical ROM 4.0.4

Prerequest:

1. root your device

2. make sure adb shell works or install "Terminal Emulator" to execute shell command

3. make sure you set google account on your device and have the wifi/3G works.

Steps:

1. Go to screen lock setting, set "PASSWORD" lock

2. Backup your "password type" masterkey to your sdcard by shell command:

$su

#cp /data/misc/keystore/.masterkey /mnt/sdcard/

3. Go to screen lock setting, set "PATTERN" lock

4. Set up your VPN and save

5. lock the screen, and press power button, the screen shows pattern unlock points, try a wrong pattern 5 times, then system will say you may forget the pattern and you will be blocked to try for 30 seconds, and then a new option "forget password" will display in the button. Click the "forget password" button, use google account to unlock it. it's done.

6. Restore your "password type" masterkey and replace the "pattern type" masterkey by shell command:

$su

#cp /mnt/sdcard/.masterkey /data/misc/keystore/

#chmod 600 /data/misc/keystore/.masterkey

#chown keystore.keystore /data/misc/keystore/.masterkey

The last two command is change the permission and user.group to original, so the system will be cheated.

Everything is done so far!!!

7. Reboot your device, and enter VPN setting, you will be prompted "Credentials Password", enter the password you set in step 1, it will prompt "create a new Credentials Password", then click "Cancel", you can use the VPN now.

There is a tool which can help you auto unlock when reboot, please go to google play and search "Keystore unlock", install it and you will get surprise:)

Enjoy it!!!

actually I'll be happy for another year when they come with their next offering...just like I was happy for the year I had the 3d except the development for the lte will be much better because there won't be any proprietary drivers withheld that keeps roms from being complete ala cm9 a year later and still no camera.
