I've been browsing the CM repos and the builds for the glacier use msm7x30 kernels from what I've seen. Why don't they use a msm8255 kernel, since that's what the CPU actually is?

We all know this cm-10-20120730-UNOFFICIAL-FB0 build is only for test purpose.. On ardX's request here is a thread where you can post about bugs, improvements related to this JB rom. :good:

Please only post bugs after you have given this a clean install and have given a fresh boot. :cowboy:

looking forward for contribution from everyone on FB0 community. :fingers-crossed:
[Huawei Ideos X6] ezio2:
Some Idea about it

for me first boot took less than 2 minutes [ fastest i have observed on any rom ]

Fresh boot ( 2nd boot ) took less than 15 seconds which is quite impressive.

Sensors, Heptic feedback, backlight all working...

Comes with DSP Manager...

You ll need to flash recent gApps...
[Huawei Ideos X6] vell1969:
:good:Thanks, ardX. it's a great work. ROM is very fast. I saw:

- wi-fi SOD

- APN doesn't work

- fonts are falling.

I have not had my hands on any of these cases recently but I did get my hands on one for the nook several years ago. the case was solidly designed and with good quality leather.

They have several nice designs, but are a bit on the more expensive side.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] clockcycle:
Very nice, pricey (at least for me). Reminded me of Lord of Rings, Wizard-like.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] akarol:
Lol! Paying over 1/3 the price you paid for the actual device on a cover is just dumb to me.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] slight22:
Maybe but i thought they worth mention because i know a lot of "dumb" people that have bought these for their devices. The ipad ones are 123 bucks. But the quality of the covers is probably the tops of what i have ever seen.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] _MetalHead_:
I generally HATE leather cases but if they came out with a Necronomicon one a la Evil Dead/Army of Darkness I would be all over it.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kpjimmy:
+1000!! :laugh:

But I bought one of these for my wifes nook back in the day and it is a sweet case. Definately worth the price, when you talk about quality equating to price.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] zorril.nz:
They look so Diablo'ish! If Deckard Cain had a tablet.... This would be the case he would use!! Haha
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Moricon:
Guess I am one of the dumb one. Would prefer buying quality 1 time as opposed to 5 cheap Chinese knockoff crap but more power to you.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Landara:
Define "Quality" because aside from a single expensive slab of leather, there's NOTHING here. This case offers nearly ZERO protection against, well, anything. The damned tablet is literally held in with STRINGS FFS! Not good ones either, nooo. They are elastic bungee and will allow the thing to hit the ground under impact. Then they want you to bend it backwards and TIE IT THAT WAY and call this a stand? LOL. Now, sure the leather is nice looking. But to call this a "case" is probably illegal in several countries. Let's call it what it is. It's a fashion accessory. Nothing more. Now if a fashion accessory is worth more to you than protecting your device, then by all means spend 70 bucks on it. It's a free country. I want you to have whatever you want, and pay as much as you want to for it. But don't come in here talking down to everyone else that didn't buy this case like we are dumb and are gonna have to replace ours over and over while you, in your infinite wisdom, will not. This just makes you a douche bag, Our cases might be less expensive, but every one of those 5 "Chinese Knockoffs" (as you call them)will protect this device better and for longer than this ridiculous attempt at a case. Does that make you dumb for having bought one? Only if you labor under the delusion that because you paid so much for it, it's somehow a better quality case and will protect your tablet better. Because it won't. Not even close. It's just pretty. Pretty useless.

[Nexus 7 Accessories] ppp38:
If you can afford it, why not? No need to name call.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Joe T:
Definitely agree. Although these are very nice looking, for $70 I'll probably go with something else. The fact that they sell replacement bungee cords makes me question whether it will last.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kpjimmy:
The replacement cord I think is for the closing mechanism to the case. That would make sense I think.

I bought the case for my wife's nook based on the look, quality and yes protection of it. The nook is already covered with a skin from decalgirl.com and a screen protector, and using this cover does indeed offer some protection. No it's not a Seidio case, it's a case that is pretty much a wallet lol. But the protection I speak of is the protection of the screen from impact if something would happen to fall upon the screen.

But everyone has their opinion, which is fine, but why the hate. If you don't like it, move on. There are many other choices out there besides this if this doesn't float your boat.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Landara:
Exactly. Never said there was anything wrong with buying it. Just saying that simply because it's 10x the price of all these others does not mean in any way that it's "Worth" 10x as much in protection or durability. So people acting like it is are only kidding themselves.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Semantics:
I was going to buy one instantly, then I saw that the tablet was held in by strings and elastic cords, and while its stunning on the outside, it looks cheap as **** when the cover opens. I wish they had a better looking system to secure the tablet, that's atrocious.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kpjimmy:
I kinda agree with you there, but I think of it as being able to use the same case in another 7" device down the road.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] jamerican413:
I've had a couple of their cases and trust, they're anything but cheap looking and feeling. I bought mine used from other forum members, so I paid half, but that's a QUALITY case. They don't charge those prices for nothing. They can charge that because it's a great case and there's a market for them. You won't pay it, fine. They are supposed to have an old world feel to them. The leather and wool on the inside is something.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] morphiend:
If you watch the video on the Oberon website it shows that the tablet is held in quite securely in the case. Also they give you extra strings to close the latch so if you can go a year without having to replace it I'd consider that a non issue.

I'm interested in hearing any reviews for this case
[Nexus 7 Accessories] jtc276:
I wouldn't care if it would be three times the cost of the device, I would definitely be buying that! :laugh:
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Moricon:
No I don't belive cost = quality (far from it actually). Didn't mean to start anything but I do think a lot of thought went into these. The video was very informative about the design choices (which is what it always comes down to).

As far as protection my opinion is that as long as the cover is closed the edges of the leather will absorb more than most without transferring the shock to the tablet. If it falls with the cover open there is a greater chance of it breaking (just like the rest)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shreddintyres:
As i understand it Google Wallet uses a secure element which after a few rewrites becomes dysfunctional at the hardware level rendering google wallet useless. My question is where exactly is this secure element found, is it on the NFC chip? If it is found on the NFC chip theoretically it would be possible to replace said Secure Element to restore Google Wallet functionality? Or am I grossly simplifying the situation?

I do understand that there is a prescribed method to deauthorizing google wallet application prior to flashing but I would assume that even doing this would be cause for eventual failure of the Secure Element?

Any insight into this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

After the first time I updated my superpad 6 using the commonly available firmware, my wifi and ethernet stopped working. I searched and found that the 'official' flytouch 5/superpad 6 has everything in common with this device but the wifi chip is different. mine is realtek rtl8188ctv and the 'original' one has a ralink chipset. after hours of searching i came to know that the site http://www.spemall.com/ is selling the same superpad VI that I have (actually I bought the device from a local wholeseller so I dont know where he got it from)

I asked the support team at http://www.spemall.com/ to provide me the firmware for that device and they gave me 2 links

http://www.spemall.com/Firmware/superpad6_ics0406.rar (firmware)

http://www.spemall.com/Firmware/superpad-6-update-manual.pdf (update method)

but when I installed the firmware it hangs on the touchscreen calibration screen. can anyone please guide me?

PS I found the same kind of topic with another device called Craig CMP738b (exact same ralink/realtek wifi chipset issue) at the given link but that was SOLVED http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/craig-tablets/30492-potential-fix-those-error-wifi.html

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrokeEven:
Hey there,

So I just got my GSM Galaxy Nexus in the mail today and found a couple things to be a bit odd. You see, my package came with 2 Galaxy Nexuses (or nexi?) and my brother's phone seemed completely normal. It had Android 4.0.4 which he instantly got an update for Jellybean. My phone on the other hand was a bit off, as stated previously. My Galaxy Nexus shipped with Android 4.0.1, when i went to the "about phone" tab, there was no option to even check for a system update, my lock screen doesn't work (security settings are on slide yet the power button just wakes my screen and no sliding to unlock required), I have no market or google play store, I can't add a Gmail account under the "accounts and sync" tab, and my home button wasn't working (factory resetting fixed this).

I'm honestly just stuck on what to do about this device. I've factory reset this device 5 times already and nothing else has worked except for fixing the home button which wasn't working on my initial boot up.

Is there any solution to this Nexus or do I just have a defective one?

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2011/11/nexnex20111117103746mat400mat400.jpg

Can you compare whether your phone and your brother's have some of these apps? I'm betting its your phone.....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrokeEven:
Ha yeah! The not-so-normal apps that I have on my phone include "Angry GPS", "Dev Tools", and "SUB PBA Test". I checked with my Brother's Nexus running JB and he's got none of those. I called into Google's hotline for Nexus support and was able to get in touch with one of the supervisors. I was told that the device I received was a Developer's Model and that it was the "strangest thing ever".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrokeEven:
So, the instructions involve unlocking my bootloader (a task I know very little about!). To be honest, I don't have much experience with the mobile development. The only thing I've done in terms of tweaking with phones is following the instruction with the ace hack kit to root my phone (which seemed a lot more simplier than these instruction) and flashing custom ROMs.

To further my previous question, since the instructions say unlock the bootloader, does that invalidate my phone's warranty if I were to return anytime within its warranty period with an unlocked bootloader running stock android? (Would they even check/realize?)

And lastly, how safe is this procedure (returning the stock?) Is there a chance to brick my device?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
You need to unlock your bootloader to flash the images. You can always relock your bootloader if you wish. You won't have an issue with the warranty.

Flashing the images the way I provided is a good way to learn the basics and will be beneficial in the future. It's very easy to learn. Just follow the link step by step. Flashing with fastboot is the safest way to do things and there is a very small chance of you bricking your phone.

Also what did google tell you to do when you called them?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alfablac:
Development Tools

I just got another Nexus from Play Store.

It's in developer mode, without Google apps and filled with a bunch of testing tools, like AngryGPS and Screen Test, the same menu in this image from maschiosoosa.

I tried to call Google Support and they give me two options.. One is doing exactly what everybody does.. Flash a stock Google image (but they said: "it's a very difficult way" lol) or the second, they will call Samsung for a replacement.

It's not a defective device, but it's kind of getting a Windows 8 Consumer Preview. A thing that it's not finished yet. Shame on Goole. lol

I'll flash of course.. It seems the bootloader is unlocked and its probably easy to do the flash thing.

Hey BrokeEven, if you got your device from Play Store you can ask for a replacement (if you are not sure of the flash image).

And probably your bootloader is already unlocked (at least if you received this same dev tool device).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrokeEven:
Thank you, I'm gonna give it a shot!

When I called Google and talked to one of the supervisors, he was almost excited to hear about such an "interesting" story and said, "It looked like you may have gotten a rooted or developers model" and "If i got a dev model, I'd just keep it haha - but that's just me" I proceeded to ask him about whether or not it'd be a safe idea to keep the phone and do my own tweaking and such. He responded by telling me that even if i was to safely flash back to stock, it'd be "hard to prove" to Google or Samsung that I hadn't tampered with it. He was a cool guy

So let's say I did in fact get a rooted model by mistake, is there any way I'd be able to figure out if the bootloader is locked or not (even though rooted doesn't necessarily mean it has an unlocked bootloader)?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alfablac:
Yep... The same case... The guys on Google are very funny. lol

Reboot your device and check if theres a unlocked locker at the bottom of the Google logo screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
Reboot the phone, when it's rebooting (showing google logo) if there's unlocked sign (lock that is unlocked) under the google logo, then it's unlocked Nexus. If you only see Google logo, then it's just locked Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrokeEven:
I don't know whether this is a curse or a blessing... I remembered when i ordered this phone I said "meh, I'm not gonna bother with rooting and flashing ROMs. I'll just stick to stock. And so Google sends me a Nexus with an unlocked bootloader and now force me to flash back to stock (or root) in order to get my phone fully functional

One pic is my unlocked bootloader, the other is a picture of my ALL the apps on my phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
Cool so you are already unlocked. Just download the images and flash away!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrokeEven:
Just one question and this may be a simple one...

It's step 8 under subsection C. What does it mean to open the command prompt in the same directory? And sorry in advance! I need you to be very simple in explaining this to me. To my knowledge, I thought you just open the command prompt. How do you open the command prompt in the same directory?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pirateghost:
On windows just hold down shift while you right click in the folder. You will see open command prompt here or similar.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
If you hold down shift and right click there will be an option to "open command window here" :)

The directory you should be opening the cmd in is the same as fastboot.exe
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrokeEven:
I'm learning so many thing! Thanks a bunch! I'm only 16 for the record if that helps at all haha... I'll be sure to be hitting the thank you button for you!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrokeEven:
An update for anyone curious:

I have managed to successfully flash back to stock Jellybean! Thanks to everyone for helping me through this fiasco!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
Good work man! Enjoy!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alfablac:
I just received a email from Google Play Team telling me that flashing my device voids my warranty.

I respond telling than that I received a fastboot unlocked device, and technically this excludes me from the warranty terms.

And I told them to not sell more unlocked devices. If you think like an adult you can see that is clearly a way to sell a "unwarranted?" device.

Shame on Google twice... Really pissed off about it!

Still not available for Verizon. But, Google Wallet no longer stores the information in the secure element of the physical phone, but stores it on their servers instead.

Also, it's now available for most credit cards.

Is this going to make it easier for someone to hack it on to our Verizon phones?
