Hey everyone. Bought a GN off Swappa.

I'm hoping I can get some help (or assurance that things are fine) about some odd things I noticed:

!) Downloaded the GN Toolkit v7.8.0 and tried to install drivers. Got some fail error, but the toolkit also said that if I got the error it would still work. Every time I plug in my phone, I get a new message from Win 7 x64 that it's "installing a driver". Even though I've already installed drivers. What gives? It also seems to want to install different drivers for when I'm in bootloader or recovery. I've also tried using the download from Samsung's website (Verizon_Wireless_I515_Galaxy_Nexus_USB_Driver_v1.4.6.0.exe) and I still get it. And then following the manual install instructions from the toolkit, I still get a lot of pop ups. It seems the only truly comprehensive method is to install PDAnet. Can anyone confirm? However, I didn't like how it created extra network adapters though. The guide to the toolkit says you can uninstall PDAnet after finishing to retain just the drivers but I didn't have a chance to do that. By then, I'd already used Windows Restore to go back in time and try and find the best driver setup from the get to. I'd really really like to just get the drivers right the first time. Thoughts? Help?

2) It seems that when I moved all my old micro sd card pictures from my Rezound to my PC, and then copied them to the Gnex (while it was working; I'll get to that in a second), the ownership on the Camera folder got messed up causing the Gallery app to force close on every ROM (bekit's theory). Actually, it wasn't really the Gallery. It was the Camera app that would FC but it would say it was the Gallery. Anyhoo, in the process of trying to fix this, I decided to just wipe the SD partition (I should've done an in-ROM factory reset....) and clean install to verify that /data/media/DCIM/Camera was the problem. Except now none of my ROMs are on my phone. Whoops. Well let's copy them over from the computer. Now the phone isn't being recognized. Double whoops. If only those drivers from step 1 weren't such a PITA...

I'm fairly confident that with the latest CWM touch I still have and the Toolkit, I can get a booting ROM again. But the driver and gallery problem I could really use help on.

So. I'm going out of town Friday. I really hope I can get some help getting this up and running by then. Thank you very much.

EDIT: Also, My Gnex keeps showing up under the Asus device listing in Device Manager. I've previously installed drivers for both my Rezound and my room mates Transformer (I rooted and installed a ROM on his tf101). Do I have to uninstall these first?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Maybe try starting here first, and it may answer some of your questions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AshtonTS:
for the camera issue, I had a very similar one when copying my pics over to the Nexus from my Rezound. Don't copy them into the DCIM folder. Because they are encoded differently than the Nexus' pics, they wont show up properly or something like that. Instead, copy them to a new folder on the SD called "Old Pics" or something like that. They will show up in a separate section in the Gallery, but that's a fair tradeoff
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rockingondrums:
Well, here's what I did. I'm more concerned with getting this phone up and running. After I do that, I can get rid of duplicate drivers (or maybe I'll keep them all so everything works). Anyway, I used System Restore to go back to step 1.

Now when I use the Gnex Toolkit, it downloads the stock Google image for Toro, but it cannot extract it :eek: Ugh. I searched the thread for package extract problems and there wasn't a single post. -_-

Edit: Oh, the file the toolkit dl'ed is only 7 kb... I wonder if this has anything to do with Goo.im being down recently... Just found it elsewhere and am in the process of flashing.

To think I tore everything down because of the stupid f'ing pictures from my Rezound xD

I don't know why I didn't just put them in a separate folder. That's what I did when I moved from the Droid 1 to the Rezound...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miketoasty:
Don't use a toolkit is the first step to rooting the GNexus. There are plenty of guides out there that explain how to do it manually.

Not trying to sound like an ass, but it will save you time if (when) you soft brick your device at some point. Everyone does it, I mean its the cool thing to do!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Sorry, but I can't help you with the toolkit.

If you want to do things without a toolkit, I'd be happy to guide you through things. There are a few step-by-steps available.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rockingondrums:
The phone was already rooted when I got it. Running aokp nightly #1. I just wanted to try other things.

I found the stock image and flashed it. I'm very familiar with the basic adb and fastboot commands and such.

My main problem now is that I've flashed the stock 4.0.4 image and my Camera is STILL force closing. I even put all my pictures in to a folder OUTSIDE of the DCIM directory. Actually, I put them in the Pictures directory so maybe that's still an issue. I'm going to try moving all my Droid 1 and Rezound picture folders to just the root directory and I HOPE that works.

Otherwise, I think there's a hardware problem. Maybe the camera cable came loose. But if it were loose, wouldn't it just not work? Would it give a force close error? Would it give a different error, since it's the cable and not the software?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Did you flash the system, boot and userdata images within? If not, did you flash the system and boot images, and wipe data in CWM? If you did not do one of those two options, it's not surprising that you are having force closes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rockingondrums:
The beauty of the toolkit is it automatically extracted and flashed the .tgz file for me. I had to do it this way because previously I wiped EVERYTHING on the phone with CWM. system, boot, data, cache, dalvik, AND sdcard. That was back when I was trying to fix the gallery issue. Tore it all down to start over.

I'm still moving pictures out of any picture related directories in the hopes that solves the issue. It's taking awhile. That's actually another concern I had: Windows Explorer seems to be a little slower copying/moving files to the GN internal storage than with other phones. It also shows a goofy looking icon of a generic looking PMP when the GN is plugged in.

When this file transfer is done, I'm going to put CM10/Gapps on the card, wipe everything and flash it clean. If it still FC's, I'll probably erase the pictures from the phone (again) and see how to go from there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
The downfall of toolkits is that you do not know what it is actually flashing. If you do it yourself through fastboot, you can be sure you flash everything that you are supposed to. And it makes no difference if you wiped EVERYTHING. Fastboot works with EVERYTHING WIPED.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rockingondrums:
Honestly, I'm beginning to think it's faulty hardware. I'm going to take out the camera tomorrow and clean it (I work at a phone repair place as luck would have it). If that doesn't work then I'll look in to buying replacement hardware.

Thanks for all the help and info people. I'll probably update this when I've solved it.

You can flash cm10 over cm9. Update gapps and clear caches.

CM10 runs really smooth. You will loose tablet mode on a lot of apps.

As stated above , much faster and has google now. There are still a few glitches with CM10, but worth upgrading just for the speed alone.

Well i own a different device (Sansung Galaxy W GTi-8150)...we do not have cm10 but a fully working beta version of cm9...what i just did was to flash jelly bean libs through cwm in order to get speed of jb on on cm9...and it works....maybe you should go for that...

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mohamedselim:
Of course cm10 works good in our tabs as omap architecture the processor is open source so developers can work well to port cm10 to our devices

I'm in cm10 now in my tab and in cm 9 in my phone (s2) as cm10 is buggy in my phone as some hardware elements are closed source so developers can not work freely in the device but this problem not found in my tab (open source hardware so cm10 work sooo good)

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ace-cfc:
Hello everyone,

I need ur help. many games like PES12, FIFA12, real football 11 etc. are running very slowly on my ace. on my friend's ace they run smoothly.

i want to knw is there any problem with my phones hardware or something? plzz help :(

i hv tried many ROMs bt aftr installing any ROM my phone becomes even more slow :crying:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dxppxd:
Even with same hardware phones might show different performance. Depends a lot on how many apps you got installed and how many use background processes.

Your friend might have a higher speed sdcard than you, which makes a big difference. The fastest sdcards are class 10.

You can also try overclocking (not really recommended).
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterex567:
Try Over Clocking. Well not above 921 for sure.

CM Based ROMs overclock well. and stock roms give stability.

They're plenty of roms, go check out the forums. Then just keep a nandroid backup and try which one suits your ace.

One more thing,

Try downloading chainfire 3d and look for the nvidia plugin.

And install the nvidia plugin.

And also download swapper

and set size to 512mb.

That makes the games run smooth.

BTW, I like Pes more than Fifa, coz fifa doesn't have good graphics on ace. it needs to be resized.

i have a "8gb micro SD HC class-2" :/ .. is tht enough or i should buy anothr one??:confused:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dxppxd:
That's it, your sd card is the slow one, most games install a bunch of files to the sdcard. Try getting class 6 and up and you'll see a good improvement on performance.

Title says it all. Does anyone have a good video player that has cover art (either built in (added w/ iTunes) or via folder.jpg files)?

I've been using mVideoPlayer, and it's a decent player, but the most recent update removed folder.jpg (and seemingly cover art completely from non-categorized video files) support for some unfathomable reason. There is still an old version on the market (mVideoPlayer old) that is not being updated, but still has the old features. I'd just prefer something that was updated at least semi-regularly.

A music player (like PlayerPro, or something if it has the support I want) would be fine too.

Can someone suggest a good player?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] odeccacccp:
I've been using stock player always, it's the only one that put's cover art in my car on display and read any language in file names, so for example on my car display I get a proper album picture and Russian song name in Russian not some crazy symbols.

Sorry for probably creating a duplicate thread but I need an answer and FAST, so I don't got time to search for more than 15min and that didn't turn up any real results...

So I have been asked to install CM9 stable on my sisters SGSII, I backed up alot of stuff to the SD card but then noticed that this phone has huge amount of internal storage used and all of that wont fit on the SD card...

So my Q is what exactly does get wiped in CWM on a SGSII ? I remember my internal storage getting wiped on my GNex when performing the OEM Unlock, but after that CWM manages to only wipe system data.

So if I wipe this phone in CWM will the internal storage (which is for some odd reason called "USB Storage" ????? ) also get wiped? If it gets then putting CM9 on this phone will never happen...

THX but I said I don't have time to search for a so simple answer as DOES A CWM WIPE ALSO WIPE INTERNAL STORAGE! and linking to a thread with multiple links to multiple FAQs isn't helping when the FAQs don't have my question in them, sorry if I'm sounding like an asshole here but I seriously just need to know YES or NO and typing that here can't be much harder than actually searching for a thread to link me to...

So if anyone actually know the answer to my Q like right now, then please! just post here if the CWM wipe actually wipes the internal storage. thanks!

Also the reason for not having time to search if me being over at my parents house with limited time on this PC to do this, would probably be done with this by now if this info would already been on the CM Wiki, all it tells me there is to backup, it never says what CWM will erase...

You didn't need the answer to this quickly at all.

If you're not totally sure of the ins and outs of CM9 and what exactly it entails, then simply don't do it. It's not as if you've got to do it for your sister. She's simply asked you and you've said yes. You could have quite easily said that you weren't too sure how to do it so you'd rather not risk it.

You're a prime example of why these forums have so many rules which might seem pathetic and useless. Too many users simply want a quick fix or an immediate answer to something, without even bothering to out the leg-work in for themselves.

Exhibit + Peach Sunrise + Go Launcher = eventually many apps Force Close => Repeat ag

I've searched the forums and can't find a solution that fits my problem.

I bought a Galaxy Exhibit II with Monthly4G - love the form factor, accessible battery, expendibility (compared to big $$$ phones).

TMO default load was very unsatisfactory.

I flashed it to Peach Sunrise 2.04, ran V6 supercharger and the phone became what it should be - a good performer.

I also loaded go launcher.

I thought it was stable and just installed apps, updates, etc as I wished (you know like I did on the iPod for 6 months before committing to the android platform.)

For the second time the phone just melted down - starts getting all kinds of random Force Closes - reboots don't help.

I also tried clearing all cache and davlik, uninstalling google play updates.

However, the problem is also affecting some core services and almost any app I start on demand - including backup apps!

I had recently installed some updates and three wifi teathering apps (to make teathering easier). On one of the reboots go launcher went through it's setup several times (I know there was an update recently).

I am really enjoying the android platform and this inexpensive phone - but I really don't want to be reflashing it every 4 weeks.

Here are my questions:

Q1) Does anyone recognize my combination of software or a specific software as causing general instability (Peach Sunrise + Go launcher OR Wifi Tether utils that require root)

Q2) Is there a way to trace what causes the instability? (In my day job I use detailed tracing utilities on Windows to find problems with Apps / OS). I found catlog - but didn't have it installed and can't get it installed now.

Q3) Could I be getting hit from a virus or hacking? (I am running "Lookout" antivirus)

Q4) Does anyone else have this challenge of persistent reflashes required?

I'm not expecting to be hand held here - but when I search "Force close" with any combination I get a lot of information that ends with the solution of reflashing. If that is the only solution I can't be reflashing every month.

Thanks for any help.
