No, there's no actual "list". You'll just have to use your best judgement in removing (i.e - do not delete all of them). You could use this app which can advise you which apps are safe to remove. If the app doesn't show up in the app drawer, its quite likely you should not remove it (& possibly vice versa).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerotNS:
Well it needs SystemUI and framework-res in order to boot.You also need some launcher and most provider apps if you want to use ur phone. But as was said above if an app doesn't show in drawer you shouldn't delete it

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Markuzy:
Really depends on what rom. Certain stock ones have different dependencies that may cause FCs if removed. Depends also on whether it is Touchwiz, motoblur, sense, or others

Hey guys i thought i would share a simple fix for the touchscreen problems that people are having. I used to have some problems with my touchscreen on stock, basically sometimes the right side of my touchscreen would be difficult and unresponsive. Im not sure what happened, it seems that after i flashed the Codenamesammy ROM it started to have these problems. I though my first tablet was just faulty so i returned and recieved a new one. I flashed the same rom on it then went back to stock and was having similar problems. I thought to myself that it was a software problem, so here is how i solved it.

Fix

Unlock and root your tablet if have not yet. Flash This using TWRP or CWM.

How it works - Im not entirely sure why this worked even though i was in stock and it had stock drivers. Anyways it replaces the current drivers with the one in the build it has posted.

Credits - I give complete credit to the one who extracted these drivers and posted them.

Thought i might help some of you out with your problems before deciding to RMA it. If this does not work for you then it might be the actual hardware.

Thats deff a screen issue hardware related.

For me, this problem is solved : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArlV8jTdkRM

[Nexus 7 General] PissPot:
People shouldn't really have to repair their nexus tablets on their own and run the risk of voiding the warranty. You should all have it under warranty.

For me I would keep returning it until I receive one that no longer has any defects, even if it means returning 10 of em. This way Google would see a high amount of returns and hopefully do something about it.
[Nexus 7 General] espionage724:
I don't have the issue, but I'm on franco.Kernel + Team EOS Stable ROM + JRO03R Binaries. I thought I noticed the issue on stock though, but I could be wrong.
[Nexus 7 General] Her0o:
I have same this issue especially when the device is heated .. the touch unresponsive in the center..

But I return my N7 to the warranty before i see this topic..

[Nexus 7 General] rgunara:
what issue were you having?
[Nexus 7 General] RoadZombie:
I was having dead spot issues. The screen not reading my touch, but now after update i could have sworn i saw a horizontal line flash across the screen. Never seen it before I've only noticed it once though.
[Nexus 7 General] CttCJim:
Didn't fix mine... when i touch either side of my screen it thinks i'm touching both sides. Gonna have to RMA T_T
[Nexus 7 General] slixzen:
This unfortunately didn't resolve my issues, as can be seen here. Is there any other attempted fixes for this issue? If I reboot my device it seems to work dine for a while, but after several hours of being on, it experiences these problems.
[Nexus 7 General] PissPot:
If its still under warranty just return don't wait for a solution or perm fix cos you like others here will be waiting for a long time.
[Nexus 7 General] StrangerWeather:
Just wondering if you people have tried updating the drivers to JRO03R. It solved the problem for me. Sorry if you have.

Still getting touchscreen issues after flashing over cm10. In fact it may now be worse. Now I get ghost taps and swipes, apps have a mind of their own. Fortunately turning the screen off and back on seems to clear it up though.
[Nexus 7 General] brando56894:
I thought I may have had problems with dead zones because sometimes games wouldn't register touches but I just downloaded a multi-touch test app from the market and it registered 10 simultaneous touches and I dragged my finger over every inch of the screen so I guess it was just the games being stupid. I'm on CM10 BTW.
[Nexus 7 General] ohmi_gaad:
Try placing the N7 down on a table, then put only two fingers down.
[Nexus 7 General] PissPot:
Not sure what this proves but works fine for me
[Nexus 7 General] webslasher:
without any cable attached, then cross the axis.
[Nexus 7 General] slixzen:
Has anyone noticed this happening AFTER playing games for an extended period of time, or after the temperature of the device reaches a certain point?

I noticed that I get deadspots after I play games (Amazing Alex is an example) for less than ten minutes.
[Nexus 7 General] brando56894:
Two or four fingers work fine, even crossing the axes multiple times. The only thing that I did notice is that when I have two or four fingers in line with each other (say four fingers directly under the camera in a vertical line), only one finger or no fingers register. I don't know if this just confuses the sensor and this is usual or if its a bug.
[Nexus 7 General] Her0o:
is the same with me when the temprature above 35 dgrees, my device s\n C7O ..

i ask the asus & they told me this is software issue , yesterday went to them to fix this issue .. they can't by software.. :eek:

i kept with them for hardware confirmation
[Nexus 7 General] PissPot:
Yeah this is a known issue and is happening to a lot of ppl in this forum myself included. It will get worst over time as it did for me example, the screen will act as tho an invisible hand is tapping on the screen.

My advise is to return it for a new one. My replacement has worked fine ever since (knock on wood) including 30min + on gaming such as Horn and Batman, both graphic intensive.
[Nexus 7 General] DrFaulken:
On my fourth Nexus 7,and I haven't noticed the touch screen issue yet. All of my prior three had varying degrees of the same problem. I am using a nandroid of the last Nexus 7 I returned, so everything is exactly the same software wise. I think it is a hardware issue.
[Nexus 7 General] ohmi_gaad:
If you have the touch screen problem you will see it when you put the tablet down on a surface such as a table. If you are holding it (for me at least) the problem takes some time to manifest itself. Put it down and you see it immediately.

same problem (but not always) with my new nexus 7 (C90) / SRO03S!

i think it has to do with

electrostatic charge

.. because it happens while i lie on my couch...

it´s very annoying if you want pinch-to-zoom in googlemaps.

and another problem with the screen (or software?):

touchscreen is not calibrated if you search in chrome with google and click on the "wrench" and set "search for a specific time-range"

android 4.1.1 and nexus7 are still full of bugs...imagine this happens on ipad3 - you would read it in every newspaper in the world.

Edit: i don´t think it´s fixed with SRO03R because my version is newer and i still have this problem!
[Nexus 7 General] brando56894:
That is actually what happens to mine if the two fingers on the same hand are in the same plane, on different planes they're fine. If I use one finger on each hand, but on the same plane its fine.

Edit: just to let everyone know, this fix works for AOSP ROMs too. I just flashed it while running a CM10 nightly and it seemed to fix my (minor) problem.
[Nexus 7 General] ohmi_gaad:
LOL.. I thought so too about the screen not being calibrated when you click on the wrench, but that turned out to be a bad design for the google page. Try this, when you touch the wrench, don't lift your finger, just slide it down. You will notice the options get highlighted going down. When the option you are trying to execute gets highlighted, lift your finger and the menu bar for that option will pop up..
[Nexus 7 General] ohmi_gaad:
I should also add, the issue only occurs for me when your fingers are directly vertical, either in landscape or portrait mode. If you are having issues pinching and zooming, until your RMA or google sends a fix, try offsetting the two youch points when pinching or zooming. Works for me.
[Nexus 7 General] Anthonok:
Same thing happened with the Samsung focus. I don't remember the fix as it was wp7 and I don't remember any of that stuff but it was fixable with sofware modifications
[Nexus 7 General] slixzen:
Has anyone tried disabling Google Pinyin? Was on the phone with a tech support guy and he said that may resolve the problem. Unfortunately, I already had another RMA, and wiped the device so I can't really try it all that easily.
[Nexus 7 General] PissPot:
Yeah I've tried this before returning my N7, same deal.
[Nexus 7 General] guitarofozz:
when do you actually use your nexus the way he is in the video?
[Nexus 7 General] PissPot:
Lol you probably won't, but its a handy clip to take with you to prove your point to the sales rep at the store you purchased it from (assuming you purchased it from a store as I did) because the fault is sometimes random and difficult to replicate.
[Nexus 7 General] guitarofozz:
what im saying is the problem doesn't happen during regular, real-world use right?
[Nexus 7 General] PissPot:
It did for me when trying to scroll up and down on the left hand side of the screen, works fine on the other side just not the left. It would also automatically randomly press on certain parts of the screen.

What I mean is, its as tho an invisible hand is constantly tapping a random part of the screen.

Now try rebooting your device with this happening and you can start to see my frustration.

Wasn't this fixed with the 4.1.2 update?
[Nexus 7 General] pumacat311:
Ditto that comment about it being fixed in 4.1.2. I have a Google I/O tablet and since about the second week of having the device I ended up with touch screen issues so bad that istarted using my PlayStation controller for everything I did on the Nexus 7.. literally after about two min of use or less these problems would start and I came very close to throwing the tablet out the window. Thankfully I did not do that because after flashing Paranoid Android 4.1.2 I have not had touchscreen problems even one time. It totally fixed everything thank god. I love my Nexus 7 again..
[Nexus 7 General] phonedroid:
Is this really fixed with 4.1.2? I am on 4.1.2, I still get that problem - when you touch with two of the fingers and cross the axis to each other, only one finger gets registered. This only happens when I place the tablet on a table. When it is held with the other hand, there is no issue at all.
[Nexus 7 General] ryanrudolf:
Thanks for helpful information. Im on PA2.53 and will test if this issue exist.
[Nexus 7 General] PissPot:
Anyone still getting these issues on the new 4.2 firmware?
[Nexus 7 General] naxan:
Yep, I was having the issues from the beginning with 4.1, had it with 4.2 and even have it now with 4.2.1 (always stock rom, not rooted)

Switching screen off/on obviously recalibrates the touchscreen.

And: Not touching the screen while switching on most time heals it (temporary).

But: if I take the tablet with the left hand like this: four finger on the screen, only thumb on the back, and then touch the off/on switch with the right hand to switch off and on, and then lay the tablet down on a table or something else, it most time goes completey crazy (registers touches with anybody touching it, not recognizing touches, recognizing touches in wrong places...) - if I repeat this a few times it's nearly guaranteed to 'break'..

Think I have to RMA.
[Nexus 7 General] Jet DanTe:
have anyone problem with touch screen like my?

it's randoms touches in free time. if screen protector clear it's okey, but if there are dirt and moisture on it, it is start to "closes" :(

Capacitive touch screens don't like moisture.
[Nexus 7 General] pnyboy27:
Did you find a fix for that? Mine is stock, I have yet to root it. I got this problem after a couple of days of using my Nexus. The only thing I have done is install Apex Launcher and customize that. Is it a software issue? Or a hardware issue? It's very similar to this video, but not as intense.

Also, I'm not sure if this matters, but I just got it about a week ago and I have the 32GB running on the latest 4.2.1 firmware. Thanks in advance for any help!

Ghost clicks are destroying my use of the N7

Feels like we can be pretty sure it isn't software. If I do a little like I saw in one video then it works for a while. What I do? I bend/twist the entire thing till you hear cracks! Insane, but like people have been complaining about screens coming loose, this seems to fix the ghost clicks for a while.

Apart from them, and some non-responsiveness, I totally love this hardware. But like this I can't use it.
[Nexus 7 General] DaanJordaan:
Hi guys I made a poll to see how many people have this particular problem:

Interestingly enough, I didn't have that particular problem. My two-finger test was solid. My main problem is ghost taps all over the place, or perhaps mainly right side, top and bottom, no matter of orientation.

[Nexus 7 General] shackwor:
I think I fixed mine with a strip of zip tie

Sorry to revive an old thread, but this was the first result on Google, so wanted to post where others searching for this issue could find it.

On either side of the touch screen ribbon cable is some copper area. (It's part of the ribbon cable.)

I thought perhaps that was grounding out, so I put a small strip of plastic zip tie under that cable. This raised it up the cable and possibly just made the connection tighter. Whatever the reason, my touch issues have cleared up.

Yet Another Touch Screen Tester from the play store was showing the ghost taps before I tried this. Now I have gone all day without anymore touch issues.

Some history, my Nexus 2012 has been getting weird touch screen issues for the past few months. I tried updating to different versions of android and today even went to from 4.4.4 to 5.0.2 hoping that would fix things. When 5.0.2 still didn't do the trick I tried the zip tie. I'd post pics, but since it's working I'm afraid of opening it up again.

YMMV.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sergey3:
Hello!

I am trying to update my Galaxy Nexus phone from IMM76K to JRO03O. I have already tried to update a couple different ways and always arrived at the same problem. Update appears to be successful, but the phone never gets past the "X" startup logo. I let my phone sit at the logo screen for 3 hours after which time the battery died. I have tried everything and I can't get past the "X" startup logo. :crying:

To do the update I let the phone download the over the air update, and I also tried to update using "fastboot". Both times it seems to succeed but gets stuck at the startup logo.

Attached is how the fastboot screen looks:

Product Name - tuna

Variant - toro

HW Version - 9

Bootloader Versison - PRIMELC03

Baseband Version - I515.FG02 CDMA - I515.FF02

Carrier Info - None

Signing - Production

Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix my phone? I really want to get 4.1.1 working.

Right now I downgraded to Android 4.0.4 IMM76K and that is working for me.

Thank you for your help!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Deleted member 4580957:
Hmm... IF it isn't rooted then I suggest rooting it using a toolkit of some sort. Then, wipe your phone and install a ROM. Then, most likely it will get past the bootanimation.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
@OP Read the OTA Update sticky in the General section.

@Epic Rooting has nothing to do with flashing a ROM, and is certainly not a prerequisite for flashing a ROM...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sergey3:
Still no go

Thank you everyone for trying to help me. Unfortunately my phone is still not booting. :(

I read the first few pages of the "OTA Update sticky" and followed the method below to do the update:

But when I reboot, the phone just sits at the "X" logo screen. I have waited for about 15 minutes and nothing has changed. Also the phone gets kind of hot while at the logo screen.

As a note, in CWM, I did NOT run "wipe data/factory reset" or "wipe cache partition". Would these help???

Should I try using a custom rom or will it have the same results?

Thank you everyone for trying to help.

In CWM the install seems to be successful and I see the following in the log:

Installing: /sdcard/JRO03O.zip

Also I want to add that the fastboot screen has the following. Does this seem correct? Is there anything else I can do to try to diagnose a bootup problem?

Thank you!

Wiping data and cache may work. Otherwise, not sure why it is not working for your. Copy all your data off your device, and just flash the JRO03O stock images as per this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sergey3:
@efrant : Thank you for trying to help me.

Unfortunately my phone is still not booting. It has been sitting on the "X" logo screen for about 20 minutes. I followed the steps from the thread that you sent (below). Everything seemed to have worked but the phone is stuck at the logo screen. :(

Is there a way to diagnose the problem?

On the plus side, I have gotten really good at installing 4.0.4 because I have had to install it so many times now to use the phone.

The fastboot screen has the following:

Fastboot Mode:

Product Name - tuna

Variant - toro 32GB

Lock state - Unlocked
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sergey3:
Also, in case this is helpful, I can boot into recovery mode. (Image attached)

From there I see options to install update.

"Wipe data/factory reset"

"Wipe cache partition"

Would any of these be helpful to run?

Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Try re-flashing the boot, system and userdata images again, the same way. Sometimes it doesn't take on the first try.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sergey3:
Thank you for trying to help. I tried to flash the phone three times and it still refuses to boot :(

But I have a theory as to what could be causing it. When I first got this phone, I deleted all the Verizon crapware. I suspect that I am now lacking some Verizon program and that is causing my issue. I remember seeing a thread on how to reinstall all of the Verizon apps, but I can't find that thread. It appears that just reinstalling version 4.0.4 does not reinstall the Verizon apps.

Thank you everyone for trying to help me!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
I doubt that would be your issue.

Flashing the system image will install all stock apps, including Verizon's.

Hi xda forumers,

I'm looking for awesome quality earbuds that won't cost more than $90-100 and have a mic/music controls.

I've been using Beats Pro Detox, but as a glasses-wearer, my ears hurt like hell if I use them for more than an hour, the headphones are real tight.

Otherwise, I use cheap sennheiser earbuds, but I'm looking for something with much better sound quality, and not beats (as I know their earbuds are total garbage).

Any suggestions?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lhkjohn:
I just got a pair of Klipsch S4 in ear headphones and they're pretty amazing for the price. Sound quality is better than the set of Beats Tours that i had and half the price. List on them is $80 bucks, but you can get them for $60 on Amazon. They make S4a's as well with music control/mics for androids for not much more, but I prefer them without it personally.

I also bought a set of Sol Republic Amps HD's for $100 as well and to be honest, I like sound on the Klipsch set a little better. The design on the Sol's are pretty sick though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Guiding.God:
I love my Thinksound ts02+mic in ears - think you can pick up a pair for $80 at some dealers and $90 at Amazon too - great sound (calls + music), very comfortable

I'd say both these and the Klipsch S4a2's mentioned above should be on your shortlist to test out.
