There's also a new version of Philz Touch [CWM] released today - for all supported devices (I believe he supports ~20 devices so far). CWM core, and I believe he may also have addressed some formatting issues that might have remained in CWM as well. Highly recommended -- in my experience, it's been 100% bug free, and the UI is customizable and easier to use than "stock" CWM. Phil has also added a couple of items in the UI that do not appear in stock CWM or CWM Touch -- all adding to the convenience. As of today, I believe it's the best combo of functionality, reliability and UI available to us for Android Recovery. Make sure you're clear about which thread you're on if you pursue this: there's a main thread, and a separate device specific thread for each of the 20 or so supported devices.

BTW: for those of you faced with flashing an "img" file, there's a very convenient utility for flashing kernels or recoveries, in either IMG format or embedded in a ZIP. I've been using this on both my Galaxy Nexus (VzW / Toro) and my Nexus 10 (manta) -- works perfectly. The app is called "Flash Image GUI", offered to us by Joey Krim.

The app has a safety feature to help protect you from yourself: the file you plan to flash must have "kernel" somewhere in the name if it's to be flashed as a kernel, or "recovery" somewhere in the name if it's to be flashed as a recovery. In some cases, this means you'll have to rename your file to add the missing keyword somewhere (anywhere) in the file name before Flash Image GUI will do its magic for you. This takes all of a few seconds with a file manager (I have many installed on my manta and toro: Astro, ES File Explorer, File Expert, FX, X-Plore...). Then you're ready to flash with this nifty utility.

I like it for a couple of reasons:

- I can flash a new recovery without being IN recovery - I do it from within Android, and the next time I boot into recovery, I'm in the new version I just flashed

- I can flash a new kernel from within Android as well. Quick and convenient, although you'll want to reboot as soon as you finish the flash.

For anyone interested, it's readily available in the Play Store:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.flashimagegui

One more convenient item to have in your toolbox...

Last radio in the OP, and yes, flash in recovery.

Sorry about the .img, I was at the dentist and thought I was giving you the full zip. And thanks Justen for supplying one.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brettdacosta:
Ok - I downloaded and flashed the latest radio, and I'm having problems.

- Wiped everything

- Flashed JBSorcery Encore (didn't restart)

- Flashed latest radio

- Restarted, but had no internet connectivity (thought it was because I installed without being completed wiped)

- Booted to recovery and wiped everything again.

- Flashed latest radio again

- Restarted and still no internet connectivity

What am I doing wrong - or what could I try?

I need help fast, because I can't leave work until I get this resolved (no internet at the house).

Thanks.

P.S. - noticed the home button wasn't working right off the bat - had to use the back button. What's that about?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesssiii:
You don't have to flash the radio more than once, wiping doesn't affect it.

Did you flash the ROM and gapps both, you didn't mention gapps. Also, you made a Nandroid just in case?

Did the radio appear to flash successfully? Check the version in ABOUT PHONE.

Toro GNex
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brettdacosta:
I just flashed the rom since I was going to be going in and downloading the actual latest build inside the Sorcery tools and then reflashing it.

Didn't think it would affect the mobile network ability?

The about phone does appear to have taken the new modem which is even stranger.

P.S. - and yeah I did a nandroid
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesssiii:
Yes, you're right about the gapps, forgot.

Why is that stranger?

Toro GNex
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brettdacosta:
Stranger because it looks like everything is fine, but yet it's not working.

One thing I did notice, but this radio seems to take significantly longer than flashing any other radio.

Seems to take close to 2 minutes where all others seem to be practically instant (or at least done within 5-10 seconds).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesssiii:
Check settings to make sure data is enabled and no airplane mode, etc, then reboot.

---------- Post added at 05:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:10 PM ----------

Restoring the nandroid will keep the new radio, may narrow down the problem.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brettdacosta:
Ok - so just for fun (and since I could think of anything else), I flashed the gapps and rebooted - we're golden.

Also - found the "Sorcery Lives" rom, so I'm assuming that's the latest. Downloading it now, and then the gapps, and we should be good.

Thanks again, guys.

Bean Picker RC1 is available for testing.

However, it is only available for the Verizon LTE (Toro)

I cannot build a bunch of things for testing purposes

Please report any problems you see with a screenshot, makes things much easier!

Below is a link for the RC, as well as a ColorPack to help you see whats going on.

White Magic is as close to stock Android as I can get, toggling to Black Magic will enable BeanPicker.

After toggling, clear all apps from recents, it will force them to reset with applied changes.

MAKE SURE YOU MAKE A BACKUP, this is still in the testing phase!!

Just checking in to say I'm still using Sorceress!

Tried a few other ROMs over the weekend out of boredom/curiosity and the only one I could stand was AOKP. But none beats Sorceress, so here I'll stay!

GNex Toro
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brettdacosta:
Ok - I'm on sorceress (the one in tools), but it's pretty laggy. I had the occasional lag on my last version (4.4 - I think?), but I could restart it and it would take care of most of it. This version hasn't been very smooth though.

Is there anything I could try - or has anyone else noticed this? I love the customazation that it offers, but the lag is there even after I've just restarted my phone and don't have anything running (not like the start up lag either).

Things like google search is really bad. It takes up to few (3 seconds, maybe?) to open.

Thoughts? I only have 2 widgets (bookmarks and audio manager), and not a lot running in the background either.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonstrong:
Maybe you've done this already....but some of the things I'd consider doing are:

Wipe Dalvik, wipe Cache, fix permissions.

Set Play Store to Not do updates automatically. When they kick in, in the background, things can really slow down. Check and apply updates manually.

Look at all your apps that sync automatically in the background. These can also bog down your system and compete for resources. Don't disable these indiscriminately, but DO understand your settings, and how they impact performance. You may reduce update frequency or turn some synching off.

Re: synching, some of the worst offenders can be photo apps that sync all your pics to the cloud, such as photo bucket. Great feature, but once again, know your settings, and how they impact you.

Finally....you may want to try a different kernel. Good alternatives to consider included, among others, leanKernel and Fancy Kernel (R33 is excellent).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KeithLing1115:
Not sure if it's just me but how is everyone's crystal ball working. I have it set for floating windows but it gives me a floating Window and still kicks me out of the app I'm in. I am using fancy kernel so not sure if that's what's doing it Cuz it used to work just fine. I've tied using the pause current app setting and it doesn't help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesssiii:
Sorry, Keith, don't use it. Find it irritating.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KeithLing1115:
Yea I wish it had a few more options but it was decent when it was working. Don't have to use that big pop up box that comes with the stock sms or Gosms that you have to respond right then without having to quit what you're doing. It was a little convenient. I just like that it's small and has a little toast of the message that's coming in and then slides itself back semi off screen so you can continue what you're doing til you want to respond. I was getting into it but oh well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesssiii:
^^Is there a way to clear app data? Or maybe dirty flashing ROM and gapps? Since it was working, should still be able to work.

Hmmm I'll try that. Works for Gosms and every other app but with Gosms it doesn't show my contact pics just an icon. But I'm gonna give that a try. Maybe it never worked and I'm thinking of Gosms.

It is in tools/rom updates as well as some new gapps, I think. Downloads to sourcery tools/releases. Thanks to Eagle! There are also 2 new files, Sourceress Lives and SouceressLive gapps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kinfolk248:
with the last rom i see the gapps are the black ones, two questions........ will they update from playstore and can black magic be turned off or can white ones be flashed instead...?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnnyb15613:
Yes, you can switch between Black And White Magic from Settings.

No they will not update from playstore
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kinfolk248:
oh ok, just asking because I dont like how some apps look dark, like gmail looks better normal to me easier to navigate that way. but good to know i can turn it off which leads to another question, how do i update apps if playstore update is borked? can just use white gapps or is that a no no?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tdevaughn:
With any themed app. You will need to delete the app, reboot, and download from the play store
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kinfolk248:
OH, thats actually pretty simple lol...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnnyb15613:
In my personal opinion, I'd wait for the Slim guys to update the Gapps, black magic is just too damn cool to put down
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kinfolk248:
so using the regular white gapps with sourceress is a no no?? if it is i can just delete and install from playstore to get the regular and updates...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnnyb15613:
No you can use whatever ones you like, but turning black magic off gives you stock colored apps anyways
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KeithLing1115:
I can't get the status bar color changer to stay when installing the BP RC and the theme zip. And then I can't get the color pack to stay after flashing the status bar changer. Any ideas?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KeithLing1115:
Oh sweet. Is that color pack already in there as one of the packs or should I request it again. I love how this phone looks now. I would have never tried these colors.

question: does anyone know what would cause statusbar and nav bar to disappear and a reboot? im running the end rom...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonstrong:
I'm guessing that you selected some kind of theming option such as changing the icon image used for the "searchlight" using Sourcery's theming capabilities. Some of these changes require a restart of SystemUI -- and that will result in status and nav bars disappearing for a bit as it's shut down and restarted. Ideally, this would only take a few seconds, but on occasion it's been known to take considerably longer.

What were you doing at the time?

Heard that from people on 4.3, but not on Sourcery.

Galaxy Nexus Toro
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonstrong:
I also never had any issues like that with Sourcery. Re: 4.3, it depends on which ROM you're trying. Some are in better shape now than others. Jellybro CM10.2 (unofficial) nightlies have actually been excellent on both toro and manta. If you try these, or any 4.3 ROM, it's important to remember that you'll need a 4.3 GApps package to go with the 4.3 ROM, and stick with a 4.2 GApps package with a 4.2.x ROM.

From what I've seen, PA probably isn't far behind -- and the 4.3 GApps package they're put together is excellent and available now -- it has some nice install logic to help avoid duplicate apps, and also install apps as system apps, leaving more user space available for you (some of the self install versions of these apps don't do that).

I'm looking forward to seeing the how the new Believe ROM evolves - but in the meantime, if you want to check out 4.3, Jellybro is an excellent option and makes a superb daily driver.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gohamstergo:
Do report what ROM version you're on, but probably not a rom thing. Are you using any 3rd party text apps? GoSMS, NinjaSMS, MightyText, Handcent, etc? These apps can all take control of texts and if any get killed, notifications may not play. Sometimes, I get texts that show up in MightyText that do not make it through to the default Messaging app. So maybe that is wahat is causing texts to not appear.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 93fuelslut:
Its 5.3 final. I just use go SMS for the pop up and use the default text app for what ever else. Go sms and my default SMS get the same text unlike your mighty text situation. I don't use a task killer like u were saying. But I do use a ram optimizer . And I don't see how a task killer will prevent a incoming text.
