It's $413.09CAD ($406.14USD) at Handtec (out of stock but should be back soon?)

It's $439.99CAD ($432.59USD) at Expansys

It's $458.20CAD ($450.50USD) at Negri Electronics

Not $350, but definitely not $599 anymore. They haven't been that expensive for a few months now.

Well you can flash your device to yakju and get Google updates. You don't have to stick with the firmware the Canadian carrier-sold phones have.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
He knows this. I've seen him told many times. He just continues to complain about it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
That's unfortunate. I can see how its a hassle, but you just spend 20min, do it once and it's done. My phone was a CAN model and I flashed it the day I got it, and I'm better off for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] subxero123:
sorry i dont know how to flash

which is why i bought a nexus because i wouldnt have to root / flash to get the latest update. Turns out its even worse than other phones, atleast phones like the amaze got the 4.0.4 update
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Sigh.

It takes 20min total to download Fastboot/ADB, install drivers and flash the images. It is literally the easiest process of any phone available. Saying "I don't know how to flash" is saying "I'm too stupid to read a step by step guide or video".

Then you get updates. Stop complaining, seriously. You have 2 options: either you care enough to know there are new updates and you flash yakju (or custom ROMS), or you are fine with your stock firmware and you wait for the slower Samsung updates. Sure it'd be nice if every phone was yakju, but its about as easy as it can be to make yours one.

Or you can buy an HTC Amaze and know that you'll never get another software update. Your call.

Guys is handtec reliable? Read good stuff so far.

Debating on purchasing it right now...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mackster248:
You can do it man... My technologically challenged gf unlocked her Nexus' bootloader and flashed a new ROM all from following a Youtube video. Once you do it, you'll be forever glad that you did.

No he was correct it is for sale NOW!.. I did see an article this morning that said it was temp for just a week or so until the patch is reviewed..

They also wont ship for another 2 -3 weeks

So... not "any minute now".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sleepyrohan:
where to buy gNex in canada?

I'm visiting Canada (Toronto) for 12 hours in mid august and I wanted to buy an unlocked Galaxy Nexus there..

I can't get it delivered in that time obviously, so can someone tell me which physical stores should I try? Also can you tell me some location where I'll find these stores close to each other?

Also do you guys think I'll be able to get it for 350$ or a similar price?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
After building a CM9 kernel with some added features as part of my CM9-UNOFFICIAL-building, I decided to make a separate kernel topic: Mackay Kernel.

This kernel is based on stock CM9-kernel by pawitp.

Today's release will be the final ICS release! From today on I will start working on a JB kernel. First release may take a few weeks.

Because it is a final release, there will be 4 flavours:

-regular

-XLmem (396MB RAM, no 720p recording, 720p playback works)

-VC (Voodoo color)

-VC+XLmem

If you like a CM9 with the Mackay Kernel included, there is also MackayROM, which is an adapted CM9:

Updated to linux version 3.0.39

General features:

Build using the July Linaro toolchain

O3 optimization

Updated to linux kernel version 3.0.39

Mackay kernel bootsplash

Based on a single initramfs & using bootloop detection to prevent bootloops

Mackay recovery (based on CWM recovery v6.0.1.1)

Governors added:

SmartassV2 (default)

Wheatley

Optimized ondemand/conservative parameters

Schedulers:

SIO (default)

Added functionality:

Bigmem (384MB; XLmem of 396 available as well)

Adaptable vibration intensity (by setting /sys/class/timed_output/duty)

Improved SD-card read/write speed under windows

Call volume hack (using Settings>Advanced to set volumes)

Reduced battery polling interval

What´s the goal of your kernel?

Nice to see you building one :).

BTW I´ve edited my post.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
Goal is to have a basic kernel with some add-ons. There are some full-blown kernels for CM9 like semaphore/devil which give a lot of extras. But I like to keep it closer to stock (with no need for additional kernel apps), but still add a few extras.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yaatzek:
Just flashed, working great. I guess we had a hole with a simple kernel after mialwe jumped to gs3, now it's full.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dark_knight35:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sUsH667:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vasumit:
Hi Kasper,

Have been using your CM7 kang builds and they always worked smooth. I am really happy to see you making a "close to stock kernel" which i guess lot of people here would appreciate.

Best of luck n 3Cheers

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kokubunji:
@kasper_h Thx for the kernel, its super slick! I just miss one thing: BLN, can you add them in next version?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
No plans for BLN. BLN is one of those features which requires a special app. I use the regular led notification myself which is controlled through CM9-settings. Less powerful, but also no additional memory footprint from an additional app.

With regard to -O3 flags, I will definitely look into that.

I just recoded my OC patch, used midnight kernel as a template. I hope to finish that part of the project later today. After that, I will look into compiler flags.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mialwe:
SGS2 :) Nice to see you remember me - actually I must admit I miss the SGS1 oO.

Nice to see another kernel beeing worked on :)

I don't know if it helps somehow but my first commit for standard-UV/OC can bee found here @ Github (CM9/samsung-kernel-aries). Worked great for several months, maybe it can save you some time. Btw. I'm a long time, passive follower of your cherry-pick enhanced ROMs thread, thanks for that :)

This is indeed the patch I looked at to implement OC :) Adapting it to include an additional 1400MHz OC step.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
I just added a testversion of the Mackay kernel. It includes OC (only 1200MHz for the time being). This is quite stable for me, but not perfect yet (my phone is very bad at OC, so I can not really test this very well).

Removed the OCtest kernel as it is buggy for me: it just stops working when screen is turned of for some time. Need some more time for trying/testing etc.

I've done some more testing on OC, but I have decided to stop. It is only giving stability problems. So I removed all OC code again.

New test version: 0.44

Differences compared to 0.37 (latest stable):

-fix charging display for car dock (from CM/pawitp)

-Increase RAM to 396MB (based on DerTeufel's bigmem) - 720p should work with f4k patch

-Voodoo color (I prefer voodoo colour over stock CM behaviour)

Do you tweaks the values of Voodoo screen colors inside the kernel?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lippol94:
396 MB? 720p recording working? Wow! :)

But I'm a bit confused about voodoo color implementation.. Is this a final decision? I remember so many complaints about green screen when you wake up the phone.

Is that what you want? :p

Great job man btw!

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
It is a test kernel. Test kernel have features I want to get feedback on. Only stable release (like 0.37) in OP contain features I want to keep in the long run. It's just like with OC, I make a few test kernel, it's not stable, so I remove it.

I actually have no problem at all with the green colour...

And with the 396MB, I never do any 720p recording. A short test I just did worked, but I am not sure whether it works well. So again, that's why it is a test kernel :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
No, I don't tweak the values. I am a voodoo sound user (in which also colour can be tuned) and I have a good working setup for voodoo colors back from my CM7-days which still works well now :)

Reason to add VC is that, for me at least, whites are really white over the whole brightness range with VC, whereas CM-colours are either white at low brightness (and yellow at high brightness) or white at high brightness (and reddish at low brightness).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rtfpessoa:
Ca you post your values so i can try?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lippol94:
I have to report a bug of Voodoo Color.

I don't know what your settings are, but either with stock, alternative or punchy here's what happens:

Look at icons in app drawer on the background..

You can see a strange yellowish color on them. Never happened with stock CM colour implementation.

Oh, green screen on waking up is present.

720p recording works fine :)

And with additional ram the phone this snappier!

Hi

New test version is really smooth and fast, like the huge mem patch, but breaks my 720p recording (Slim ICS)

Not a huge fan of VC, though :)

Couldn't find a good setting

Maybe make two versions or something.

Take care

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
Last night my 720p test was successful. Just tried it again and now it failed. I guess the 396 is a bit too much :) I'll try to find something in between.

I prefer to make one kernel version to keep things simple. If the majority doesn't like vc, I'll simply leave it out. For me it is a bit better than CM-stock colors, but different isn't huge enough to make it an essential element :)

I plan to finish all my ics work this weekend.

Final stable will be without voodoo colour and 384mb RAM. More RAM = less stable 720p results. And I did hear no-one begging for voodoo :)

Other than that, there will be a few minor bugfixes.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Facebooook:
Can i use this kernel with slim 4.2 rom. Because its base on aokp.

And its better semaphore or devil3.1.1.3
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] chiwou:
I used the Kernel with slim without any problems, it was a great combo.

Don't forget semaphore and devil have OC, this Kernel doesn't.

But then I switched to the Mackay rom

And it runs a little smoother :)

PS: slim isn't based on aokp
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
Thanks, I couldn't have said it better :)

I deviate from sema/devil in that I have less features. With this, I try to aim at a good balance between performance and battery life (also e.g. in the specific settings for the governors).

I really like this Kernel, I've bundled it with my MIUIv4 ROM port, I'm still on .10 and so far it's stable and fast without the need to faff about with separate apps or init.d scripts. One thing though and I know it sounds really petty but is it difficult to change the Splash Screen? Like I say, I use MIUI and it doesn't really fit. I'm happy to do it myself if someone can give me instructions.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
No, initramfs is unchanged. That's the odd thing. But I actually also had a reboot after choosing shutdown. So it looks as if something goes wrong during shutting down the phone after making the selection for normal reboot/recovery reboot/shutdown.

You mean the kernel boot splash? This can only be changed before building the kernel, not after building. So you have to build yourself if you want to change the Splash screen.

https://github.com/DerTeufel/samsung-kernel-aries/commit/a31457248d48b9007b2079f905607cccdbc166e7

I actually ended up in a bootloop when switching the phone to airplane mode (and the phone is also switched to airplane mode I guess when switching off/rebooting?!). So maybe this is the solution for the O3 problem. I'll give it a try at least!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DerTeufel1980:
I think the best way would be, to use prebuilt modem_ctl. The commit for it is one of the following.

If this is related to not booting to recovery, i doubt it.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
I indeed also found the commit for the prebuilt modem_ctl. But I thought this one was for solving the issues with linaro?

Anyways...

Changing to O2-build modem_ctl didn't solve the reboot issue. Back to 0.10 version of the kernel for the time being :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
I actually made today a kernel with OC to 1400MHz, which works well...as long as the screen is on. As soon as I switch the screen off, the phone crashes. No UV at all (previously had screenoff=crash-problems when I had too much UV). I don't know anymore what to do to solve this...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
Here is a test-kernel which has 1200/1400MHz steps. It worked actually OK during the last hour on my phone, although I did have one soft reboot...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] trailblazerz11:
Yes, that was for linaro, Without prebuilt modem_ctl, compiling with linaro would cause kernel opps error upon loading modem.

I remember having the reboot issues as well but not anymore, I don't remember what fixed it. Looking into it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DerTeufel1980:
Ups, i was thinking, that linaro is used. I don't recommend O3 with stock toolchain. it has made the kernel much bigger in size, and I have also lost 3 mb of ram due to this. At this point, the linaro optimisations are real ;-) with linaro and O3, kernel size stays almost the same, and Ram only got about 1 mb less.

Have you pushed your oc code to git already? Then I also can take a look at it tomorrow.

I think u use this kernel in ur rom as well. I have been using ur rom for a week now and it was good at starting but slowly the ram consumption of apps started growing and suddenly yesterday every app started crashing and after many reboots and trying I was able to go into 'manage apps' and see that settings app is taking around 90 mb ram and launcher was taking 100+ mb ram and then the settings app crashed and everything started crashing again. I had to move to gummy rom after that. I think its a kernel problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
Thanks, I already noticed the kernel file size was much larger with O3. So to successfully use, I should use linaro+o3+prebuilt modem_ctl.

All oc code has been

pushed to my github, it is in my mackay_kernel_oc branch.

I had another bsod last night, so oc kernel is still unstable for me.

I've no idea, I didn't change any setting in memory management...
