you need a ics unlocked bootloader to use custom ics and have ability to flash new roms and make backups.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guyute74:
I thought I read somewhere that restoring via titanium backup when flashing between ics / gb roms wasn't the best idea? Is there any truth to this? Maybe apps but not data? In the past when I have made a big leap I just redownload but in the interest of convenience I would like to do a batch restore. Why switch you ask? Battery life concerns on ics and a 14 hour flight to India. Gb will be temporary.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linktohack:
I did restore Swype from GB to ICS without any problems. (The reason for restoring was because no setting in ICS for Swype)

I've switched back and forth from ICS to GB a few times, and I did run into problems batch restoring from Titanium Backup. I find that the restore operation gets snagged on certain apps, requiring a reboot to continue. Sorry I can't remember precisely which apps.
[Motorola Droid 4] dhawk312:
A friend of mine just replaced his phone with a Droid 4 yesterday. He asked if I could put a custom rom on it for him. He was running CM7 on his previous phone and liked the customization options and speed.

I know almost nothing about this phone and the roms available for it. Can any give me any suggestions or recommendations for roms? My main concern is stability, with speed and customization at a distant second and third concern.

If you do recommend a rom can you please give me:

1. a quick snippet of why you recommend or like it?

2. let me know if there are any issues or non-working issues.

3. provide a link for the rom. The rom development section here is very messy compared to the EVO 4G sub-forum, which is where I spend my time.

Thanks for the nobbish posting. I really appreciate all the work and effort you guys put into developing roms and assisting others with flashing.

[Motorola Droid 4] kwyrt:
Considering your friend is asking you to put a ROM on his phone for him I assume he is not proficient enough to do this on his own, thus your main priority being stability. That probably rules out jumping to the stock ICS leak builds floating around.

ICS ROMs for those currently running stock GB include Gummi, CM9, and AOKP. These, unfortunately, are rather buggy due to attempting to run an ICS based ROM off the stock GB kernel. Data connectivity is the major issue but there are camera and video recording issues as well. There is a work around involving wiping caches to get data back when it drops but, again, if your main priority is stability I would not recommend any of those.

That leaves Eclipse and Arctic. These are both GB based ROMs. I am running Eclipse myself and it is quite smooth with no issues at all. Highly recommend. I don't have much experience with Arctic. I ran it for a couple of days but preferred the look and feel of Eclipse.

Once the official ICS OTA drops things will obviously change, but I think that pretty much sums up the current state of things. Hope that helps!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
I've realized that, while using Telenav and Google Navigation, GPS loses signal, over and over again. The only way to get it back is to have GPS Status & Tool run in the foreground. Actually, it won't lose lock as long as that stays in the foreground with the screen on. The navigational apps are not keeping the lock alive. After maybe 20 seconds of them being in the foreground, the "cannot get GPS signal in this area" alert is there to piss the user off, once again. Perhaps, they haven't been optimized for ICS yet?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rocket321:
I know it won't be easy for some to hear this, but if your GPS doesn't work, it may be a hardware issue, not a software/radio problem.

I say this because my E4gT's GPS has worked flawlessly out of the box. I turn it on, get 6-10 locks within seconds, and navigation doesn't cut out (have tested on two 30 min drives and multiple short drives). This is "HTC" good. I even get a lock inside my house quickly.

And BTW, I know what bad/flaky GPS looks like because I had an O.G. Epic which was notorious for poor GPS reception and it lived up to that title.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
This doesn't apply to what i described at all. I clearly explained that btu gps locks beautifully. It stays locked as long as GPS status is on in the foreground.

The only time I don't have GPS is when I forget to get a lock prior to flashing CM9.

If say we have software issues I use fe14 modem GPS can take some time to lock occasionally. But the software part comes out when sudden it can even see it lock to satellites at all then in forced to reboot... and bam instant lock
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ubigred:
Yeah in Google Maps, GPS is fine. However with Google Navigation, GPS is PISS POOR and simply inexcusable.

Never had this problem on any of my HTC devices.

I can vouch for this. Only time I have GPS issues is in Google Navigation. Other then that, I get quick locks. I've only ran agate's roms and never have issues with GPS outside of what I mentioned.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] orb360:
It's not consistent... But it happens for me too..

Locks on and off for like 20 minutes in google navigation / waze...

I get ticked and start GPS status to see what's up...

Damn Thing

If it was software, I would have seen improvement on at least one of the modems I've flashed so far. I've decided I had the ****s of this and have been gradually flashing modems in this list and have yet to see any noticeable difference in SNR or number of locked sats.

Oh sure, if I wave a dead chicken over the phone and hold it up to the dash board (as if were mounted on the vent) the gps is fine, when it eventually locks. If i move it down to where I usually put my phone, the number of visible and locked sats starts to drop and it finally loses lock. It may hold if I perform the appropriate incantations or spit the correct amount of nickles in addition to all the other crap I've tried that was of equal (read no help at all) value.

The hardware in this phone simply gets piss poor gps reception; that is the general trend and like all general trends there are exceptions. Good for you if you're one of the exceptions; doesn't mean there isn't a real issue that effects others and may make the phone useless for navigation. Only thing I haven't tried is replacing the phone which is my next step or simply purchasing a dedicated nav device.

Also, my gs2 i-9100 never had this issue nor did my previous htc phone. I used them both (E4GT & GT-i9100) for a while until I finally sold my i9100 and dropped tmobile; the gps was so much better that I was using the i9100 as a back up. It didn't care where I sat it or how I held it or what the weather conditions were; the damn thing did what it was suppose to do: held a solid and reliable lock (in conditions the E4GT wouldn't) to the degree that I didn't even have to think of it any longer. It just worked; isn't that nice? E4GT users don't know what they are missing!

If I find a modem that gives me really good snr, 25-35 or higher with stable lock under my test conditions, I'll let you know.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] melinerunen:
Yep, navigation sucks!

No internet signal, no maps. Also the gps takes a lot to fix.

I suggest you to try out navfree from the market. It use openstreet maps and it downloads the entry country so I can use it fully offline. Additionally it fixes really fast.

I've said it's a free app?

Goodluck

Edit2: It installed fine with the stock FF11 kernel. I was using Agat's when it was erroring out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rocket321:
This is what I'm saying because for some folks (me included) Gps works perfect out of the box on stock el29 - fast locks no matter where I put it in the car, inside buildings, etc and working great with Google nav - so if that's not what you are seeing my conclusion would be its bad hardware and Samsung should be on the hook for a replacement.

If it was software then all of you should Odin to stock el29 and simply enjoy the best fastest gps on a smartphone you've owned.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bruce Inman:
Not sure if you can get into Angry GPS on Agat's ROM, but if you are having issues keep a lock, there are some parameters you can adjust to force your GPS to keep a lock. You would have to search on optimal settings as I can't access dialer settings from CM9.

GPS Aids app may help you as well as it adjusts your GPS.conf file for your location.

Hi. I have the same problem as you, and haven't found a fix yet, but from my knowledge, the zergRush exploit has been patched.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
not sure if this is your problem but 2 tips when rooting:

1. Temporarily disable any antivirus programs on your computer.

2. Run the rooting program As ADMINISTRATOR if your using windows, by right-clicking and choosing "run as administrator"

those are the usual suspects, I personally used the superoneclick method on mine, another choice, if you have the US version of the 4.0 is to simply flash this ROM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1512331&highlight=stock+rooted+4+0 IIRC its prerooted.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] dteth:
Thanks for the replies. Yes I have tried the superoneclick, right clicking the exe, giving it admin rights, and disabling antivirus before running. I will try them again this evening in case I overlooked something and repost the results. Thanks again, and if anyone has more ideas, please let me know-I really want to root this thing!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Neodymium:
In high version, Zergrush doesn't work so it need to be rooted via Rom or Kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] dteth:
So if I install a modded kernal like this one - Tegrak Kernel Build 29 for GT-I9000 - using odin. I should be able to root then using superoneclick method? And this should work with the latest firmware 2.3.6? I've done a little with the old Archos 43A using the Urukdroid rom and kernel, but haven't done that with any other device. I will read up on some of the info on this site about this Tegrak kernel and odin before diving in too deep. If anyone has done this with this YP-GB1 model please let me know. Thanks again for the advice.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Neodymium:
Nononono. Tegrak kernel doesn't work like that. I am a GB1 user, and when using tegrak kernel, you can root with tegrak kernel app.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] dteth:
So I have done some research on the Tegrak kernel, so let me ask if I got this right.

1). I have this kernel on my yp-gb1--->2.6.35.7-GB1KRKPC-CL795804.

From what I have read, this kernel will work with my device-->[KERNEL] (XXJVT) Tegrak Kernel Build 29 for GT-I9000.

2). download odin and download this kernel to my device.

3). download the Tegrak Root app from the play store.

4). Root device from the Tegrak Root app.

??is this right?

Will this new kernel change anything already on my device and will all the player functions work eg. Camera, etc? And also thanks to everyone who has taken the time to help me with my questions and the the great developers on this site!!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] navarro77:
Okay so I asked this at Android Central and didn't get any responses. Here's my situation. I have a 2 week old GSM Galaxy Nexus I purchased from Google Play. The following is something that started 2 days ago (which seems to coincide with the start of my new billing cycle if that makes a difference). Anyways, when I bring the phone out of stand-by, my signal strength indicator will be blue. I will then see the little data transfer arrows appear, then the entire indicator will turn gray (not the solid gray with the x, but just light gray). After about 10 seconds it will turn blue again.

I searched extensively on the internet about this, but I believe what I'm finding is not the same issue. Most everyone seems to actually LOSE data connectivity while the phone is in standby. Mine isn't actually doing that. I'm still getting emails, text messages, phone calls etc while the phone is in stand-by. I'm also NOT losing my data connection while the indicator is gray.

Here's what I've done so far. I have done a factory reset of the device twice (even chose NOT to reinstall from a backup). Noticed it was doing it right off the bat after doing a reset (so I can't really blame any of the apps I downloaded previously). I have also tried a different SIM card. That didn't do any good either. I've been on the phone with Samsung, who says this particular issue they're not familiar with. They suggested since I'm still well under warranty I should send the phone in to have them evaluate it (which I MAY end up doing if I feel this action is warranted).

So while this isn't really causing a service issue, I'd just like to know if this is something I should be worried about. It just seems odd to me that it only started 2 days ago. Unlocking and rooting wouldn't be my first choice. The last time I attempted this, well the results damn near gave me a heart attack. To be honest...I'm afraid to try it again. So I bring my issue to you guys (the experts). What do you guys think is going on? Should I be worried about this? Thanks in advance.

Edit: My device is a "takju" (I believe) running stock 4.0.4

Blue means you are connected to google services. Grey means its not. Its somewhat normal to see it grey for a few seconds every once in a while.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Herman76:
It can turn grey when you are switching between wifi and 3g/4g since you will lose connection with Google services briefly.
