Cool can tell me more about it? Do a review on it for me please
[General Questions and Answers] D1358531:
Well, I just like the way the screens look with the rom...you have to manually install a camera app, music app, and file manager, because the ZaD!!RoM didn't come with them. Also, the phone would shut down occasionally due to overclocking, so I had to adjust that too.

I guess what I'm saying is the ZaD!!RoM is good if you like to do a lot of your own customizing/tweaking. :D Otherwise, try the Cyanogenmod rom.

Good luck!

how to reimage u8651t and eliminate cwm?

Thank you so much for place the link on the stock rom. I am trying to recover the phone back to factory WITHOUT CWM as the boot loader. I am trying to follow instructions of how to reflash in the XDA forums but run into a brick wall for the update.app is not in the stock rom that you provided. Is there something you can do to help on this?

Thanks

Uh Oh!

I have a T-Mobile Prism that I need to unroot and turn it back into factory conditions. There is a problem though, when I flash the factory rom, the custom recovery flashes it then it says installation aborted. I really need to fix this since I formatted the /system. Thank you for your response.

Info:

Device: T-Mobile Prism U8651T

Custom Recovery: CWM-based Recovery v6.0.1.0

Rom: Cyanogenmod 7.2 UNOFFICIAL

Removing these apps(With Titanium backup) and installing play store alternatives is a good start but cm works too.

Poweramp is a good music app that lets you tune eq with the freq.

Stock roms usually suck until they are messed with.

(As you can see I like to modify stock to my whims and I dont like custom roms, only custom kernels)

You can try my tool in my signature because it has a rooting feature.

But if your running android 4.0 or above it wont root:(

In that case you will have to look for device specific methods.

[Nexus S General] brrip:
Hi guys

Just wanted some advice on this issue. I realise I'm posting on the Nexus S subforum so the comments might lean in its favour but here goes.

So I've had a Nexus S since launch, and have loved having one. Jelly Bean has made it even more awesome than before, but now I'm a point where my dad is trading in his SGS II for an iPhone 5 when it launches so I was wondering if I should trade in my Nexus S instead and keep the SGS II.

What do you guys think? Is the SGS II better because of the fact that it's been a long while since it launched and the modding scene is fairly well developed? With a reasonable modding scene for the SGS II, I'm wondering if the beefier hardware will be better long term.
[Nexus S General] albundy2010:
Depends on the model of the gs2 really. International I like. Something like sprint gs2 um no thank you.
[Nexus S General] Gambler_3:
S2 is just better there is really no contest.
[Nexus S General] niteh@wk:
What version of the GS2? If it's Sprint or US Cellular version, trade it in cuz these versions suck bad, otherwise I would keep the GS2.
[Nexus S General] 063_XOBX:
On hardware maybe. Software wise the Nexus winds hands down. The S2 is pretty much dead development wise by comparison.
[Nexus S General] brrip:
its the international version of the SII, and the UK version of NS
[Nexus S General] 063_XOBX:
Also Project Butter is broken on SGS2 JB roms.
[Nexus S General] albundy2010:
I'd get the gs2 no doubt then.
[Nexus S General] jk0l:
If I was in this situation, I personally would keep NS as the backup phone, sell GSII, and use that money to upgrade to a new, more powerful phone. (My new phone will be either the next Nexus or Note II)

Why? Because when I'm bored, I can take it out and flash this try that for fun. On the other hand, it can give you a taste of AOSP (if you're using a featured phone and like what the stock ROM offers, e.g. the Note) and possibly some ports of newer Android version if Google decided to drop it.

Besides, the GSII is a commercial phone which means OEM will eventually leave it behind in favor of newer models. Thus, dev community will die out too because they don't have new, updated source code.

If you're thinking that GSII is more superior than the NS, then I would say why would you want to keep it as a backup instead of using/abusing it. It would be a waste leaving it there collecting dust. NS is great for a backup because it's not that inferior nor superior.

Yeah this is already my tinkering device. My main device is not android. So for purely tinkering, NS > SII? I thought with the time SII has been out, the modding scene would be thriving instead of evaporating.

[Nexus S General] difrent7:
Yeah I got rid of my Sprint S2 and kept my Nexus S 4g and do not regret it. Only thing that isn't great is the camera on the Nexus vs the S2 but not a deal breaker. Sprint S2 stock ICS sucked terribly plus the Sprint s2 doesn't have NFC which I tend to use from time to time. It is personal preference they are both great devices but if you prefer vanilla android the Nexus is better, at least vs a Sprint s2.

I just picked up the Gnex and i dont know why I waited so long. Lovin it.
[Nexus S General] albundy2010:
The sprint s2 is irrelevant. Op was talking about the international model. Simply put sprint version sucks international is great.

Bunch of nexus s fanboys. The s2 is a great phone. Plenty of development on it etc.

And I love my nexus s. I have no urge to replace it at all. But if I could get the international s2 for free by giving away the nexus that's a no brainer.

GS2 will also be getting jelly bean by the end of the year btw. It is unlikely nexus S will get android 5.0 or 4.2 so update argument is not really big here. Sure you do have bloatware in S2 but the phone is more than capable of handling it.

[Nexus S General] popolon59:
I own a Nexus S for 1 year. It's a great device but compared to the S2, the battle is lost.

The S2 is dual core, got 1GB RAM; Nexus is single core and got 512 MB RAM .As you know, RAM is probably the most the important factor in a mobile device, however, a lack of RAM slowdowns the device. I remember my Spica to be so sllloooooww.

So, a s a quick resume, if you have to choose, take a S2.
[Nexus S General] vinamilk:
I'm using NS which on JB, do not play game much, just for phone, internet and social network and it runs so smooth that I never look at free Ram or even care about that.
[Nexus S General] TG2708:
Don't know why people are comparing speed of the two when one is clearly newer. It all comes down to do you want a pure google experience or skinned one with probably a few bell and whistles, i prefer the first. And look at it this way the nexus s gets updated way faster than s2 while being rather old. Also their is a higher possibility that the ns will get a newer update over the s2, which leads me to the point where its all about optimizing the software to work with a particular phone than the speed of the processor etc.

Just give it a try for a few days and see which you like better. You can swap ESNs whenever you feel like it.

[Nexus S General] Firetime123:
I'd say you just test the S2 and take the phone you like better. Some prefer a pure android and some a customized android like the ones from HTC, Samsung, ect. By testing a device you can make a much better decision than listening to people like us.

Hey guys,

I tried using Rom Toolbox Pro to change my battery icon... after trying to install, the error "com.android.systemui has stopped working" continually popped up. I had to reboot by holding vol+, vol- and lock.

After rebooting, all soft buttons and the status bar are gone. I can't manage to get them back. I also can't manage to restore the battery icon - RTP prompted me to backup the icons before trying to install the new ones, and I did.

What have I done? :(

So I went to restore my backup through CMW, it failed. Now I'm stuck on the Google screen. How do I flash it back to stock, in order to start all over again? I can get to the CMW page with the Android on his back, with "Start" up the top.

Appreciate any help!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Daddy:
That's not the clock work recovery. It's the bootloader. That's where you need to be to flash the image though.

First download the Nexus 7 image from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#nakasijro03d

Once you have downloaded it extract the file twice until you see image-nakasi-jro03d.zip

Take that zip and move it to the directory where you have fastboot on your computer.

Open your command prompt pointing at that directory.

Then, type:

fastboot devices

if it returns a number you are good to go.

Next type:

fastboot -w update image-nakasi-jro03d.zip

This will wipe your user data and restore stock recovery. But you should be good to go.

geez, just reflash your rom, youll be ok.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbroon:
Did something similar myself.

Just downloaded the factory image and flashed just the system.img file using fastboot and rerooted. A few system apps played up, most were fixed by wiping the cache but i had to delete all data from the contacts app, it resynced fine anyway.

To clarify extract the factory image to get the system.img and use the following

fastboot flash system system.img

Just rewrites the system partition.

The same thing happened to me trying to change the wifi icon. I guess Rom Toolbox doesn't play well with the Nexus 7?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tony_1017:
Same thing on Galaxy Nexus... stumbled upon this thread searching for a solution. Was thinking we could restore from the backup that was made when swapping icons, but I guess that's not the case?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master Ramy:
Hello friends,

I am curious why, when such issues occured with your device, you did not contact Rom Toolbox Dev. to ask for help?

I am part of the support team from Rom Toolbox Pro, and I believe the post right before me is from someone who reached out to me to ask me about this, so allow me to explain the solution here real fast:

What happened is that when you changed the icon, it simply didn't work and messed up the UI. This occurs sometimes, and is the right time to restore a backup of the icons.

Problem is that now you can't restore, because the soft keys are all gone, and the Nexus 7 has no hard keys to do the dirty work.

So, here is the solution; you must use Root Browser to switch out the Systemui.apk and framework.apk files from the backup folder to the /system/app folder.

Where is the backup stored, you ask? Well, since it's very easy to break a rom by restoring the framework and systemui to the wrong rom, the backups are actually placed inside the app's data partition. This is to prevent tampering. If you are reading this post, then I assume you know what you're doing and are doing this with the EXACT same rom as the backups were created from.

The directory of the backups is /data/data/com.jrummy.liberty.toolboxpro/files/status_bar_backup/

Simply copy these over and paste them in /system/app, maybe renaming rather than deleting the old ones, just in case, then paste these and reboot your device.

And now your systemui and framework should be all restored.

Hope this helps! Be sure to contact the developer next time you need any help, We have arguably the best customer service of all the Play Store :)

And be sure to thank the one who referred me to this thread, if this helps!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mlj11:
Hi Master Ramy,

I was the one who emailed JRummy.

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying actually. I guess your reply answers the OP's question - that is, in the event that we get the "com.android.systemui has stopped working" error , then we should do the stuff you said?

My issue is different... I hadn't swapped out my battery icons yet, cos I wanted to test the restore function in ROM Toolbox first before doing so. So I backed up both systemui and framework-res using ROM Toolbox, then simply tried to restore them using ROM Toolbox. But I got a toast notification saying "failed to get icons". I didn't get a big error like the OP's, but it was alarming enough that I didn't even try to change the icons in the end.

Are you saying that I should manually move my systemui and framework-res backups to system/app in order for ROM Toolbox to be able to restore them?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master Ramy:
Yes, the post was in response to the OP talking about losing the soft keys and such :) Due to the different nature of your issue, I've sent you an email instead of responding here, so that we don't clog up this thread :)

stock 4.04? Well, take a look at the dev thread. Any of the diffrent flavors of custom ROMS have bln. I highly advise getting BLN control from the app store, it will actually make your back lights blink. Only CM9 have blinking bln built in, but makes your back lights not respond as they should when you unlock. All custom ROMS are flashed thru CWM. Welcome the T989 community, and happy flashing!!:D

According to expansys UK, the black 16 Gb version isn't expected until 25/08. And that's for 16Gb only. 32/64 Gb versions don't seem to be on the agenda at all at any retailer. If that's the case, they are pushing it just too close to October Win8 tablets release.

Hi guys.

I'm going to be purchasing a Nexus 7 for reading some books and watching some movies, and I had a question before placing my order.

So my father has an iPad, and I have tried typing on it. I type just like a normal keyboard, at the same pace. However, I checked out the Nexus 7 at Fry's today and due to the small screen typing like one does on a fullscreen keyboard is very difficult.

I wanted to know how you guys type with it. Do you hold it with your palms and type with your thumbs, like a smartphone, or some other way?
