You can download the French rom if its out from sammobile and install using dr ketans thread in sticky section throught pc odin. safest.

Or just connect to Kies on pc and update that way. Also pretty safe. No data loss if you use backup options in install process.

Do not wipe factory reset or change csc on an unsafe kernel (all ICS kernels, except some custom) btw, and if you are rooted just in case do an efs backup. See my thread on backup for Chasmodos comment :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] crustie:

[Motorola Droid 4] azrael293:
I am going to attempt to remap the outside keys for when the camera is being used to allow non-touchscreen controls as well. I don't know if anyone has tried or started work on this idea yet, but I will give it a go and post results and the update.zip on here once it is good to go.
[Motorola Droid 4] 640k:
Not to stir the thread off topic, but can i just say how moto seemed to finally get the camera right? I cant believe how fast it starts up. It still has some of the weird focus isssues, but switching between modes, taking pics.. ive ditched my purchased apps in favor of the default camera.
[Motorola Droid 4] azrael293:
I agree. It definitely runs so much smoother than in previous renditions. I just want to have a method for taking a picture via non touchscreen. Miss the dedicated camera button. Will be working on this during the week and hopefully will have it done and up by the weekend.
[Motorola Droid 4] 640k:
what would you use? traditionally, the volume keys were the zoom in/out and the camera button took the pic. maybe something on the keyboard? have you tried the OK button?
[Motorola Droid 4] azrael293:
The "ok" button does take pictures, but then you need to have the keyboard out. I'm going to attempt to remap the power button to take the picture (as most people wouldnt be turning off the screen while the camera is on) and keeping the volume buttons as the zoom in/out as it currently is.
[Motorola Droid 4] jwagman1:
THIS WOULD BE PERFECT!!! Let us know what you come up with.

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid 4] Sjaakbanaan:
This is already possible by default, if I understand your question correctly.

In the ICS build (at least .215, not sure about earlier versions) there is a "Volume Key Function" option in the stock camera settings. You can use this to set the volume keys to 'Capture' instead of 'Zoom'. As I never use digital zoom, this already works great for me!
[Motorola Droid 4] azrael293:
Trying to get the power button to act as camera and keep volume keys as zoom. also doing this on GB.
[Motorola Droid 4] Sjaakbanaan:
In that case, never mind and good luck :)

On my ME863 I installed a 3rd party camera app just because of the "volume button = shutter" function, and it was nice to see there was no need for that on the Droid 4!
[Motorola Droid 4] azrael293:
Thanks. Hopefully I can pull it off. Currently trying to fix my D4.. ran into a boot logo mod issue and just got it back up

[HTC Rezound] putney1477:
Are you happy with your page plus service? Do they really use the verizon towers? Thats what I have been told. I am looking into switching to them. There is a company near my home in NH that will unlock phones and you can get any service on them. I am seriously considereing it......But am a little leerey about it...I need my phone for work and home so I must have good service. They told me it would be $100-150 to unlock my 4G phone. They are not 100%sure they can do it yet, so if they can;t theres no charge.

I was thinking of just getting a regular used 3g smartphone on craigslist and setting it up with pageplus...just to see how the service is, before cancelling verizon.....sound like a good idea or a bad one?

Thanks

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demented-Idiot:
Hi all

Now, i know this might seem like an odd request at first! "The N7 relies on wifi to get internet, so why would you want to tether it??" etc.

I use Power Controls and it has a toggle for wifi tether. when turned on, the n7 does indeed turn into a wifi hub. I can see it on my phone. As it stands however, i cant change any of the settings. Using Apex launcher i can make a shortcut in to the thethering and wifi hotspot in settings however all i get is a blank window :(

N7 can be turned into a mobile wifi hotspot for doing things like file transfers/sharing stuff that you cant do via bluetooth.

Eg, sending an app to a friends n7 via datasync (as an example!)

Anyone know if its possible to change the settings for wifi hotspot anywhere else?

How would one go about flashing a kernel?

I tried looking at Xboarder's kernel guide, but it looks like the thread got deleted and I couldn't find a Kernel Flashing guide.

I tried flashing Faux's new kernel via 4ext and got the following:

E:error in /internal_sdcard/ruby-faux123-kernel-v002.zip

(status 7)

Installation aborted.

Tried doing it via Hasoon's toolkit. I downloaded the zip file, placed it in data/kernel and renamed it Boot.IMG

flashed and got the following:

C:\Users\Evan\AppData\Local\Temp\Rar$EXa0.438\data>fastboot flash boot Ker

nels/boot.img

[HTC Amaze 4G] Keylogger_0:
The lines highlighted in red is probably what's wrong. You're running the batch file INSIDE the archive. Unzip/decompress it and then run it (in the uncompressed folder)
[HTC Amaze 4G] broker32:
Oh, I see. How would I go about doing that?

I tried running it through the Easy Kernel Flasher. Extracted the Easy Kernel flasher to a folder in my desktop. Extracted the Faux's kernel files, put them in a folder, placed the folder in "Kernel here", renamed it boot.IMG. Clicked the flash.bat and got this.

[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Is there a file named just "boot" in the faux kernel zip file?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
Put your phone in bootloader first then run the command again.
[HTC Amaze 4G] andy55:
you should have no problem installing the zip through 4ext, could be a bad download? have you tried downloading again? and same error? I don't think any of the ICS kernels have a boot.img attached in the zip
[HTC Amaze 4G] soundping:
Be careful flashing the kernel. :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] Keylogger_0:
"Location: Southern Indiana"

"Attached Thumbnail: Kentucky Fried Chicken"

Now it all makes sense.
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
Sounds like a bad download.. 4ext should flash it fine. Try looking up status 7.. or update 4ext to latest version. But definitely download it again, using a different browser, or connection, something.. but everything I've seen says it is a bad download.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
Another thing you can check is to be sure you downloaded the ICS kernel and not the GB one.
[HTC Amaze 4G] broker32:
Turns out that the 4.ext version I had wasn't the latest. Made the update and flash was successful!

Thank you guys!
[HTC Amaze 4G] blindskater39:
will flashing the kernel delete my data? should i backup first??
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
No and yes. Always have a good backup as it will backup kernel and everything. Make sure you're using 4ext, anything else probably wont work properly. Make sure you know what you're doing and you will be fine, check the bible in my signature if you aren't sure of anything.

Flashing different kernels

Is there some step I need to take before flashing different kernels? I ask because I was using stock and couldn't connect to Ford sync via Bluetooth, so I thought I'd try Faux123. Unfortunately using Faux123 my Plantronics BT headset wouldn't automatically connect any longer so I thought I'd go back to stock. Now, my WiFi won't connect at all. Searching brought up all kinds of threads on how to flash a kernel, but I didn't see anything that said that I needed to do something else before flashing a kernel. I flashed the stock kernel from the one posted in the 5th post of NRG's ROM thread. Any suggestions?

There is no stock UCKK6 (2.3.6) but you can download and flash a Stock plus root version of UCKK6. See Entropy512's thread which is a sticky in the development forum.

...Or you can flash fully stock UCKH7 (2.3.4). See the link in my signature for the return to the store guide.

You can upgrade to the stock 2.3.6 by downloading the stock 2.3.4 firmware from the download repository here in our forums, then after you are booted into the operating system, go to settings, scroll all the way to the bottom to software update, and it will download and install 2.3.6.

So I was just thinking it seems really strange that our device would have gps without a network connection. I don't have a problem with being wifi only but if I'm using wifi I'm usually at home or at work or somewhere that i won't really be going anywhere. As in, I feel like the most useful part of the gps is always for navigation but the only use of gps I can think of with only wifi is for location based search results. I so I was just wondering everyone's thoughts, cuz to me it seems sort of unnecessary

offline maps. GPS works without a connection.

[Nexus 7 General] danknee:
I tether my Nexus 7 to my Sprint phone (rooted CM9). It is nice to not have to tether GPS through Bluetooth. In my car the Nexus 7 gets mounted and serves up the torque app, connects my BT obd2 sensor, and uses its own GPS.
[Nexus 7 General] currentsupply:
What's the point of a GPS? Easy, it's a sensor so the device knows where you are at. I use my Nexus all over the place and it's always online tethered to my phone. It's way smarter since it knows where it's at.

Better question would be, what's that Barometer doing in my Galaxy Nexus....
[Nexus 7 General] californiarailroader:
The Galaxy Note has one too.
[Nexus 7 General] krelvinaz:
The Kindle Fire didn't have one... and it was very limiting for what I wanted to use it for. My hotspot didn't provide GPS data.

In a mobile setting when you have a 3G/4G hotspot, having a device with a GPS allows a lot of detail data collection which requires location info (like weather data). The hotspot allows transmission of the data to a server for processing and receipt of critical data (like Doppler radar data) to know where you are and where its at.

One of the reasons why I was waiting for the Nexus 7 as soon as I heard it has both GPS and the other location tools.

No aGPS... but once you are tracking that doesn't matter.
[Nexus 7 General] jeffrey1790:

This thread is akin to the whole "why does the Galaxy Nexus have a barometer in it" threads that popped up after it came out.

Though, as many have said before, it primarily is for use in offline maps. If you start navigation and leave, it should keep those directions (though it won't recalculate any new ones) in memory and running even without an internet connection.
[Nexus 7 General] khaytsus:
GPS is COMPLETELY SEPARATE from Navigation. Navigation requires a GPS. Using a GPS does not require Navigation.

So stop saying "GPS" when you mean "Navigation", for the love of god.

So what's a GPS in a wifi-only device useful for?

Using in any one of dozens of apps that can cache map data

Recording paths or traces for recreation, hiking, biking, whatever

Geocaching or any other game/activity needing precise location data

Using one of several OFFLINE Navigation apps (CoPilot Live, Sygic, Navigon, etc)

There are more, I'm bored with this...

What about those that tether? It might not be big in the US because of carrier blocking bit plenty of people tether to mobiles - why pay for an additional contract when your phone has unlimited data?

It has it's way there...First of all it could be a stand alone gps, not a-gps. There for you don't need the network for a quick fix (you can do it also with GPS Fix - it's fast). Another thing..if it hasn't the 3G module I don't think it's a NO all the way because as far as I know most of the tables has the USB Host option (I mean if it's in Archos tablets should be here also). So you can hook up a 3G key - there must be one that will work with this tablet. Here in France this tables - Archos, sometimes comes in offer with a 3G key...

That's what I'm thinking...

In addition to mapping/Nav apps like Mapdroyd, Co-Pilot Live, etc...that pre-download maps- Google Sky Map also uses the GPS for a fix on your location, and I have a satellite dish aiming program that employ's the GPS in order to calculate the az, el, and skew for the dish based on your location.
