thanks for the replies, even the romman bashing lol

I would but I'm on GB right now... is it safe to flash an ICS ROM from GB?

Yes I can boot into my phone, but it's very buggy and a lot of processes are crashing.

current: gb stock and siyah 2.6 kernel w/ root and cwm

had: ics stock and siyah (with the 9100 mess and all that)

I found a CWM backup from a few days ago, is it safe to try and use that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 122ninjas:
Yes you can flash ics from gb
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kernelsprite:
haha, looks like the backup worked! a lesson to all: always backup your data. also don't use rom manager.

thanks to those who helped me!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] spiralout1:
I did not say anything about anyone jumping down throats. I said people "jump in here with the typical bs posts" meaning the thread and the post I was referring to WAS motomudder's. I also did not say that I "get tired if reading the same old crap of telling everyone to do what they agreed to when they signed up". I said it gets old reading these same guys crap. You are the one who associated crap with telling people to search and read but that was probably from me telling YOU to read since you misread my post, but stop putting words in my mouth. You are also one of the worse users, as far as these types of posts, in this section, imo.

I do agree that there are lots of unnecessary threads started in this section because either people didn't bother to search or didn't understand what they read and that sometimes the best solution IS to tell them to search, read and learn, but most of the "crap" posts I'm talking about aren't that. They are completely unnecessary childish, smart ass remarks that everyone here could do without. Like I've previously stated in another thread, when I first started lurking here, reading and learning all I could about my new phone, I enjoyed every visit to this site. Since I've caught up on all the old stuff and all there is to read are the new posts since my last visit, it's not very enjoyable anymore since most of the new stuff is garbage like motomudder's post above.

@OP : Apologies for all this in your thread, but I felt that this needed to be said.

@kernelsprite: glad you got it sorted out
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MotoMudder77:
You've been here a month fool :p

back in the day, it wasnt like this. Its BS now how much you noobs get away with not searching. all the damn answers are out there. half the threads in the damn forum could be deleted because they are just reposts of the same ****. Yes my answers sometimes are smartass. but would you rather me call em a stupid noob? cause thats just flaming.

We could just start reporting EVERY post that has already been answered, without posting its already answered. it'll get closed and another one would show up.

We are not here to answer the same questions over and over, If you ask something that's already been answered, deal with the repurcusions.

Hope you can maybe understand how we feel. No offense is meant, its all in fun.

I am on ICS finally and I downloaded the triangle away app. How do you actually use it. If I click reset count it warns me that I may brick it and I do not want to do that again
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] JimiGEE:
I just used triangle away to what I believe was the correct way. I checked the auto box, rebooted and no triangle but still the i9100 logo. How safe is resetting the count using triangle away by the way?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] karate104:
Should be safe as far as I know, but TBH I never used it (never had to, never tripped the counter). Sorry I can't be of more help, hopefully someone else can. Btw, what do you mean the I9100 logo, as in, it shows I9100 under the Samsung Galaxy S2 boot screen? And what does the counter read when you put it into download mode?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] JimiGEE:
Yes it shows under the S2 logo. And my count shows 2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MotoMudder77:

@ MotoMudder Whether you're part of any team or not doesn't change the the fact that you're a **** on these boards. Doesn't matter whether someone read and learned wtf they were doing first or not. I'll go ahead and say it no matter the repercussions: There are about 5 useless, sarcastic, childish, unhelpful dicks in this section of the boards that make me not even want to read any new posts here and you are ranked #2, imo.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] clay101eve:
Hey! Moto ain't part of Team Pirate...

And three main thing you see from anyone who has it is that we stress for people to use Google (and the xda search) before asking questions. Most guys here enjoy helping others, the problem is a lot of people don't take there time to search before asking... Hell I did it when I started using xda and I got ripped... Things have been pretty tame for most others lately.

oh and as for being ashamed to user binnacle... Don't be, Pirate has nothing to do with Team Pirate!

Eclipse ICS 1.2.2, ported by myfishbear, has fully functioning Google Now, with voice input/output included. Just update to the 217 ICS leak and flash eclipse and then flash the google now zip and you're in business
[Motorola Droid 4] COMpulse:
I went with Deodexed/Debloated ROM, and installed the Google Now ZIP from the Eclipse ICS thread. Works great.

(had issues with eclipse)
[Motorola Droid 4] GermanGuy:
I assume you install it through CWM? How is the battery life after installing? Also, do we now whether it is the same version as in this thread or older http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=29756226&postcount=2856?
[Motorola Droid 4] COMpulse:
Yes, it's a ZIP you install through recovery. I'm using SafeStrap (essentially CWM). If you aren't using SafeStrap, I do recommend you take a look at it. It's a nice safe way to test ROMs and other things that might be considered dangerous.

I can't really say anything about battery life yet. I've only been playing with this ROM for a couple days. You know how it goes with installing apps, indexing, caching, syncing.. things need a little time to calm down. However, I can't really imagine any of the ROMs being worse on battery.

And Google Now needs time to learn. I've read that Google Now uses the settings for Home and Work locations from the Navigation app, so I set up my work and home locations in there, and it's notifying me with traffic at the appropriate times.

It's probably the same version. 36megs sounds about right. myfishbear has kept everything very current in his Eclipse thread.

Just for reference, I'm on ICS leak 217.
[Motorola Droid 4] alex94kumar:
If you want a ton of extra features, than eclipse is the way to go!
[Motorola Droid 4] COMpulse:
Not sure if I did something wrong, but I tried 3 different revisions of Eclipse (including 1.2.1 and 1.2.2). Every time I installed it, I had only 4 of the 5 icons show up at the bottom of the launcher. My corporate email security settings (requires PIN) wouldn't work, and if there are any customization options (like UI settings in other ROMs, or even launcher settings), I couldn't find them.

I've installed numerous roms on other devices, so I really can't imagine what I did wrong.

Boot to SafeStrap.

Make sure SAFE system is enabled.

Wipe Data / Factory Reset.

Install ROM ZIP.

Install GoogleNow ZIP.

Win! (well, win for everyone else...)

I tried Infektion ROM as well. The only issue I had there was the same issue with my corporate email security settings. And the screen rotation bug from CM9.

I tried clearing caches, fixing permissions, re-installing, re-re-installing. :eek:

My unsafe system is ICS leak 217, no mods. Works great.

My safe system is Deodexed/Debloated ICS 217 plus GoogleNow. Works great.
[Motorola Droid 4] alex94kumar:
Hmm, you should go to the eclipse thread and ask myfishbear if he can help you
[Motorola Droid 4] COMpulse:
My post-count is less than 10. So I'm not allowed to post in the dev thread. Also, it sounds like Eclipse works for everyone else. My fail brings me great shame.

I really really wanna pick one up, but I'm concerned 16 GB won't be enough. Since its WiFi only I would have to basically save all my music for offline play (Spotify) in don't really plan on using it for pictures since I have my gNex... are people with the 16GB model finding they are maxing quick?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s10shane:
well idk if its enough for music (depends on how much u have). i have the 8gb version and you only get 5.91gbs on it. i couldnt even install half the games i have because they take up way to much room.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AZImmortal:
This is obviously a pretty personal question since we don't know exactly how much you plan to put onto the tablet. If you need more space, then you can use USB OTG and attach a flash drive.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saadi703:
If you don't play big games then 16 GB is fine and for movies and music you can also use USB otg cable and use USB thumb drive or you can use cloud storage. I use both and both are fine solution.

I do however play big games and for games 16 GB is not enough.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jark89:
16GB is not really enough for all the things the Nexus 7 is capable of, IMO. Which is why I think its necessary to root in order to take advantage of the USB OTG feature. Its a great device nevertheless, just gotta learn to make do with what's available.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dexterslab:
No 16 gb is not enough, i would have bought a 32 gb if it was available.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaneydroid:
Well nobody can really answer that for you, depends on how much space you actually need.

It is plenty for me and more than enough for my needs.

[Motorola Atrix 2] nick2012:
Can't post in original thread since it's in developer section, so it's going to be here.

Installed the leak using Jim's info, and now I'm looking to return to GB.

I followed Jim's [UTILITY] Return to GB from ICS fxz script every step of the way.

My first problem is that the script doesn't see the phone unless I boot into fastboot. When executing the script from Fastboot it runs fine, except from these errors:

Flashing cdt.bin

sending 'cdt.bin' (16 KB)... FAILED (command write failed (No such file or

directory))

Flashing cdrom

sending 'cdrom' (12032 KB)... OKAY [ 1.439s]

writing 'cdrom'... INFOPreflash validation failure

FAILED (remote: )

After the script has completed, the phone reboots, goes into recovery, does some install thing and then parks itself at the M logo and does nothing more. I've tried repeating the process 3 times, but I get the same result.

Reading the stories of those who hard bricked, it does not seem like I am in that situation since I'm able to boot into both fastboot and stock recovery. But it would be nice to get beyond that...

Help, please ?
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
Other people have posted in the thread about similar issues on windows, and how they resolved it eventually. If the script still does not work after the fifth attempt, use RSD Lite to flash the .xml file located in the script's directory.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PabloFiasko:
Another pro in my opinion is battery life. Formerly I used Galaxy Ace and LG P970, both with stock and custom roms, none of those was nearly as good in battery life as stock JB on the Gnex!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tameracingdriver:
I generally like it, however two things that have annoyed me. First, the turn by turn navigation didn't work when I tried (stuck on "Searching for GPS") so the GPS portion of it is useless. I'm told that this has something to do with Jelly Bean and the Nexus and that toggling "Google Location Services" in the settings sorts it out; I've not had chance to try that yet.

Second, the device randomly shuts down. However, I'm not sure if that has something to do with the power button being pressed when in my pocket due to the SGP Neo Hybrid EX case making the buttons more sensitive. I've removed it from my phone now (it was also sagging so I don't recommend this case at all).

Other than that, I've noticed no real issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Herman76:
Pro's: AOSP, no bloatware to be found. Updates directly from Google. ROM's that are completely bug free.

Cons: None that I can think of. Maybe just the camera..I always look ugly in the pictures I take of myself (though maybe not the camera's fault? ;) ).

Swiftkey'ed on my CM9 Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eksasol:
Depends on what its compared to. The camera could be a little better, but still okay for a $350 phone. People complained about low speaker volume and screen, but my device has better screen than the S3 (yes I did say that) and is loud enough so maybe I got a good one. Build quality could be better, but certainly better than the S3. Its GPU is a bit dated and probably not future proof for heavy HD gaming. Also no microSD slot, but I have come to term Google will never allow it in their devices.

'Some' people with the CDMA version report poor signal, sometimes unbearbly bad. But GSM version don't have the issue.

Overall its the best Android phone in the market now in term of getting the latest softwares until the next Nexus phone arrive. It also have the best custom roms in term of quality.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
CONS

- ICS/JB link ringer+notification volumes. And JB somehow broke the vibrate for notifications 'master' switch, you need to configure this per app now.

- MTP/PTP protocol instead of mass storage.

- Camera quality should have been better.

PROS

- Vanilla Android! (quick OTA updates directly from Google, no carrier crapware) :cowboy:

- Fastboot

- Development community/support

- AMOLED display

- It looks good

- Build quality (I bought this phone in December 2011, not scratch on it yet and I don't use a case or screen protector)

- Battery life

- In short, pretty much everything else.

Buy it, if you are a tech-enthusiast you won't be disappointed. My next phone will definitely be a new Nexus.
