Interesting. Think I am going to do that, too.

When making CWM permanent, I just renamed the recovery-from-boot.p and kept it in the folder. Thus, I could just rename it again and OTA should install fine, right?

However, I did not do anything to the install-recovery.sh before or after I installed CWM (should I?). Just checked the folder and a file named like that is there, sized 559 Bytes and dated 01 Aug 2008, 14:00. Is this already the one I need?

Moreover, do I need any further steps of uninstalling CWM or anything when the OTA comes around? When answering this, please take my signature information into account.

Thanks very much for the support!

Cheers :beer:

Does the app developer have to explicitly add the new rom version or is it just a black list? If it has to be added then aren't all non-Installed apps going to show initially as incompatible until the developer adds them whether or not they are in fact not compatible?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fnd66:
how do you get a better battery life.. its really bad :crying:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CubicTom:
First of all, this is a really general question and also doesn't give us much information about what you have tried already and _how bad exactly_ it is. I shall nevertheless give it a try:

Maybe the battery needs to be recalibrated, which is a common issue after flashing a new ROM.

To do so, charge your phone to 100% without interruption, then unplug the charger and leave the phone running without recharging it until the battery is completely empty such that it turns itself off.

Repeat this procedure twice.

After that, battery statistics should again reflect your battery's full capacity.

If battery life is still bad after that, you should check under settings -> battery, if there is any particular process eating up all the power.

Also, if you want to temporarily increase your battery life above its usual level, say for outdoorsy activities, you can use an app like SetCPU to reduce the processor speed available. However, you need to be rooted to do that and the CPU settings need to be handled with care!

Apart from all this, turning off Bluetooth, NFC and WiFi whenever it isn't needed and reducing your screen's brightness can help extend your battery life. Also, if you are somewhere without any mobile signal reception, you will save heaps of capacity by entering flight mode, since the network search is quite energy intensive.

I am not sure if this was already here in 4.0.4 (it wasn't in 4.0.1), but I am glad to see that it is possible to set phone lock timeout again. Back when I used HTC Desire I had a PIN code on my phone for casual security, but since at times I switched the screen off and soon after on again (like when in a store to look at something) I didn't want to enter the PIN all the time. So I had a time lock set for it, that it only asked for PIN if I didn't use the phone for five minutes.

This was not an option in Android 4.0. If you used PIN security then every time you turned off the screen and back on again, it asked for a PIN. Especially horrible when it timed out. It became an annoyance enough that I ended up using Slide Lock only.

Now it's possible again to set the timeout forphone lock, making sure that your phone is locked only after X amount of time. I love it! It even has an option to check if power button instantly locks or not.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CubicTom:
As far as I remember, this has also been a feature in 4.0.4 already.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Right.

There are two files place on your system (by OTA updates) that cause the recovery partition to be re-flashed on every re-boot. install-recovery.sh is the script that flashes recovery-from-boot.p to your recovery partition. Deleting or renaming one or both will prevent this from happening.

No. (Although I have seen people having issues with Stericson's busybox installed.)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CubicTom:
Thanks efrant, for your useful reply which helped extend my understanding!

Can you recommend any other busybox version which is not expected to cause such problems?

Cheers

CT
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
I use Busybox Installer, and I have it install the latest version of busybox in /system//xbin
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CubicTom:
I have now uninstalled the stericson one from bin and used the installer you suggested to install the latest version available to xbin.

The Terminal says I am now running BusyBox v1.20.1-cm9 bionic. Are there any known issues with that one and OTA? Also, I am a little surprised, thinking that CM stands for cyanogen mod...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
Alright, thanks, I somehow missed this in 4.0.4 then! But it's a great feature that bothered me for a long time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
You won't have any OTA issues using that installer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CubicTom:
Thank you! Now I feel jolly confident with my new JB system! All issues resolved for now. :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Akik:
Hi guys!

I recently flashed JB from ROM Manager (jb-takju.zip it's called) + Radio XXLF1 + Bootloader PRIMELC03.

Am I in a full JB build for now? Will OTA works correctly in mid july please?

I saw somewhere that this file (jb-takju.zip) was the official update for JB from Google.

Thanks for your help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CubicTom:
As you can read from the last ten or so posts above, you'll be good to go in that setup when an OTA Update comes out. The only prerequisite is that you have not permanently installed CWM when starting the OTA. Otherwise, you'll first have to make sure that the two standard recovery files are again in place (see above for further explanation).

Cheers

CT

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gadgetluva:
Is flashing CWM Recovery from ROM Manager permanent or temporary?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CubicTom:
That depends on how you installed it: If you have deleted or renamed /system/recovery-from-boot.p or /system/etc/install-recovery.sh or both, it is permanent. Otherwise, stock recovery will be restored on boot.

If you installed it permanently, you thus need to restore those two files and reboot in order to reverse the permanent install and go back to stock recovery.

Cheers

CT

[EDIT]

If you are not entirely sure what you did exactly for one reason or another, you can still go ahead find out: Start up the gnex holding volume up, volume down and power to access the bootloader and then use the volume keys to chose revovery and start that withe the power button. If you get an android lying on its back with a red exclamation mark, you are running on stock revovery. If you get a CWM startup screen, the CWM installation has been permanent and should be reversed before trying to install an OTA update. It's that simple. ;)

[/EDIT]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gadgetluva:
I see, thanks! I'm just wondering because I see that you have to flash it in ROM Manager (since I'm back on stock recovery, where I want to stay) to flash anything else, but wasn't sure if RM actually deleted files or not.

To clarify and for future reference: It doesn't. You would need to do that manually. :good:

USB Audio

Hello all, I installed Vicious JB ROM to LTE GNex. I have a question about the USB audio and how the phone is supposed to go into dock mode.

I have a USB cable from an old Motorola dock. On one end is the micro USB that plugs into the phone and the cable splits into a USB charge and 3.5 audio port. I presumed that plugged into a car charger and my car's AUX that I would be able to plug in the phone and direct audio through the phone's USB connection.

Can someone explain to me what I might be missing?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gadgetluva:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tyraelasd:
Sorry if its a noob question but..... doesnt OTA stands for "Over the Air"? I thought it was going to be an update that comes automatically over WIFI within the phone, not a flasheable zip that you have to actually flash to...

If can someone can explain it to me Id be really grateful :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] harveydent:
Yes, OTA means Over the Air. But some people who can't wait for their phone to grab it simply flash it manually when someone posts the file here at xda or when Google adds it to the repository
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pfmiller:
Yes, OTA means Over the Air and yes you will get your JB update over the air when it is released. It hasn't been released yet though, what people are flashing is a developer preview and is not the final version.

Any one in the UK (or outside US) get this issue with Google Now/Voice search.

If you ask something like "Who is the president of the United States?" It will give the answer Barack Obama but there is no picture.

This might be server based since my Google account is a UK one and if I remove my account from the phone, Google Now will work with images.

Yeah, I realized that I needed to re-crop these images on my phone for a lot of contacts (especially if I had specifically set some of the photos). But, it works.

Either way, this was something my coworkers and I were discussing the other day among Windows 7.5, iPhone, and Android... they were all lazy on the contact image used when calls were made/received. I'm glad to see this has been fixed in JB. Good stuff.

Had a random reboot already, but I was doing a lot right off the bat and hadn't put my phone down since I rooted it when I said I did. We'll see how the uptime is this time around...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcdermos:
So I followed the instructions here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1738347

and JB installed fine. The only app so far I had a problem with was Make Your Clock Widget but a reinstall fixed it.

Google Nexus Toolkit is great for the inexperienced user like myself.

Just a question on the eventual official OTA. As my phone reports it is takju but was originally yakju (apologies if thats the wrong name) which OTA will get sent to my phone?

Also will I just have to make sure stock recovery is present to get the OTA to apply itself?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CubicTom:
takju, I guess, since this is what your system will be watching out for on Google's servers.

Yes, if everything else is stock (Build, Kernel, Radio, Bootloader) and you have chosen the odexed image from CWM and not the deodexed one from xda.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcdermos:
Does that matter? or what are the implications of one over the other?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] humayooshah:
any idea when the final version of jellybean will be released OTA ? because as i am using CM9 RC1 .. will i have that notification on my nexus S or do i have to be on stock ics?

:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CubicTom:
It does matter. The deodexed files have been modified to make theming easier. That's why people often prefer them.

However, once the stock build has been modified, OTAs won't install. Thus, if you are not into theming and would like to stay at stock anyways, you might prefer odexed over deodexed images.

I just checked the instructions you used. If you have installed the ROM from CWM which has been linked there, you have already chosen odexed and should be able to update OTA if all the other circumstances are met.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CubicTom:
The final version of JB has been announced for mid July.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
Some interesting notes about the Developer Options in 4.1:

Animator Duration Scale - This is a new setting and this affects automatic animations in Android, such as swipe speeds when you swipe something away from Recent Apps (it affects the speed of which the list gets re-ordered). Also note that this setting seems to require a restart to be in effect.

Disable HW Overlays - I think that this setting is Project Butter. This should be the hardware vSync/TripleBuffer overlay. It is recommended to not disable this, unless for debugging.

Force GPU Rendering - This was already in 4.0, but was very buggy in 4.0 since a lot of apps were not compatible with it. It seems to be much better now because of HW overlays (that is, the benefit of GPU Rendering in apps is much better thanks to HW Overlays), but there are still bugs with some apps (like Androidify).

What makes this last Force GPU Rendering setting really awesome is that it enhances most WebViews much more in combination with HW Overlays, than before. This means that apps that have UI built with WebView are much faster with this setting on, if they haven't used it internally. But it is still recommended not to turn it on and let app developers to test it out first and support it out of the box.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
You cannot compare radios across different users. There are just too many variable, including location, weather, usage patterns, how you are holding the device, buildings, distance to towers, etc. etc. Just because one person is seeing better or worse performance, doesn't mean you will.

You are better of flashing a yakju or takju build. What is the point of sticking with yakjuux? The GNex has been out since early Dec 2011 in Canada and, to-date, no one has seen any benefit from staying on yakjuux. Those that converted to yakju have seen the following OTA updates pushed to their devices: ITL41D->ITL41F->ICL53F->IMM76D->IMM76I.

Now that takju JRN84D is out, you can even flash that.

If you unlock the bootloader, you can make an exact image of what is currently on your device. (Well, you don't even have to do that, as myself and a few others have already posted the stock yakjuux images on XDA.) Then you can flash whatever you want, and you will always have a backup to go back to. As well, the bootloader on the GNex is re-lockable -- so, if you restore your backup and lock your bootloader, your device is in out-of-box condition. No one will be able to tell the difference.

That is the million-dollar question. No one knows, as there hasn't been a common update pushed out to both phones so that we can see which one gets it first. I personally hope that whatever update gets pushed out, gets pushed out to both yakju and takju at the same time, and converts one into the other. So that we will only have takju builds (or only yakju builds), not both given that they are almost identical.
