[Nexus S 4G Android Development] hp420:
I'm locked in with sprint until october 2013, but I'm jumping ship FAR before then....also for a nexus 4 on tmo! Sprint's prices are just ridiculous....I got ok 4g...I regularly got up to 3MB/s.....until about 2 weeks ago, when everything changed, and suddenly I'm lucky if I get 20KB/s on 4g!!! :mad:

My big complaints with sprint are the following:

CDMA. I'm sorry, there's just no getting around this. If CDMA isn't official AOSP, then I'm not staying a CDMA customer

delayed updates. We own a device in the nexus family, and carriers are releasing updates for non-nexus phones before we get it.....100% UNACCEPTABLE!!

prices. my base-price per line with sprint is $60/month. After taxes, fees and all the other bullsh!t they charge, my bill is JUST SHY of $200/month...and all I have are 2 4G capable smart phones....no extras or anything!! That's close to double my base-price because of taxes and fees!!

If I pay for ETF ($175 if I do it today), buy a nexus 4 outright ($300), and switch to Tmo month-to-month ($50/month), I will save enough to cover the Sprint ETF and the Nexus 4 in under a year, easily....how can I say no to that??? Every month after the point I break even is more money in my pocket, which I can then put towards buying the next nexus device after the Nexus 4...assuming it's even necessary to upgrade....the nexus 4 has got some absolutely jaw-dropping specs!

anyway, I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who's getting sick & tired of sprint's bullsh!t. I guess we'll all get to know each other pretty well soon since we're all making the same move :D
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] the1dynasty:
All the sprint complaints... Wait until your on T-Mobile and you'll find other things to complain about lol... It is very area dependent tho because Sprint is awesome where I live and T-Mobile is about the worst carrier to get here...
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] vertigosrs:
I'm sticking with sprint. Where I live has decent coverage and speeds. I have 2 lines with unlimited everything and my bill is 136 a month. Plus I use in 2 days what most other carriers cap their monthly data allowances at.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] pandaman21:
I'm stuck with sprint until February in 2014 with my nexus s 4g but I'm still happy about this phone because it has the best development team ever.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] hp420:
See???? This is EXACTLY what I'm talking about....my total bill is almost 50% higher than yours, and I have exactly the same thing you do....two lines with a 4g capable smartphone each. I pay just under $200/month, no late-fees or extras added on at all!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] the1dynasty:
I would call them for sure... But I think he must have a discount applied to his bill... I have a single line with the $69/month everything 450 plan and my bill is around $75-$80 after taxes... BUT I have a 20% discount applied because of where i worked... You should see if your job has a discount or if you qualify for other discounts!

I'd also like to add that I'm well over 10GB of 4G data alone and i still have about 10 days left on my cycle... No other "real" carrier offers truly unlimited like that!

Maybe you're not factoring in insurance
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Killasmoke:
Last month I did 20gb that cuz I was watching Game of Thrones whole season 2! Also this ROM is good & stable so far no reboots or problems only thing I see that's wrong is the ctr TV off animation isn't smooth but that's the only thing I've notice so far. Oh & I just saw Robert Burns G+ CM10.1 for us its not ready for download yet but its progress just waiting on CM to start the nightly going :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] 903tex:
My 4g speed. Upload suck but to dev I can give you a link to lower your bill some and see what plan they have you own. Also if you talking about doing monthly 4g plan for 50 on T-Mobile. Not that after 100mb they lower your speeds to edge!!! So not really a deal unless you use WiFi alot
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikegleave13:

I agree T-Mobile coverage sucks in many places. I am planning on doing the same too next year. I'm thinking going ATT through smart talk.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] n2d551:
Here in Hampton Roads I have no idea what 4G is. My friends have it. But with sprint they keep saying it's coming, but with lte not wimax! So I'm screwed again because I was like I have to get a 4g phone. Now I'll never have it
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] lurtis:
Here's what I get on 4g in west Tampa. Mind you my phone is static in my windowsill because if it moves an inch in any direction I lose 4g.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] The Batman:
I have to say, this is the snappiest 4.2 rom that I've tried out on the Nexus S 4G.

Great job from the original developer and hp.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] dwielunski:
Hey HP what to you think about adding this fix I asked greenblue about? He was reluctant to do it because he thinks it's not AOSP, but he explained how. Right-align battery charging/charged text on lock screen.

I agree, that does look very nice. I'll take a look, but I can't make any guarantees....my work schedule is booked solid for the next week.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] bangishotyou:
Just wanted to update, looks like I just had a bad download. Downloaded it again and installed the ROM. Everything is working smoothly and I can absolutely say I'm loving 4.2.1 on my phone. Also, I don't know if it's just me or what but this ROM sends and receives MMS like a champ/insanely fast, more so than stock 4.1.2 or CM10. Both of which take forever, if they send/receive at all. And the Quick Settings are awesome! I have a Nexus 7 that's on stock (rooted) 4.2.1 and it's okay, nothing too noticeable about it. But on my phone? Sheesh! It's insane how subtle but better some of the differences are.

Definitely using this as my daily driver (barring any updates).

And I know we were all comparing Sprint rates so let me just throw mine out there. 450 minutes with unlimited text and data, paying between $80-85 on average a month. That's with a discount applied since I work in healthcare. (Think the discount is between 3 - 6%.) And the nearest 4G city is like 2 - 3 hours drive away. Definitely going to hang onto my Sprint line for a bit, but if T-Mobile proves the better option with the Nexus 4 then see ya!

Re-downloaded and did a clean install. Everything works great. Boot animation is gone and no swipe keyboard. Anyone have those in a flash able zip that would work with this rom?

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] miguelcerca:
Thanks. I'll give it a try.

The flashable zip worked great. Typing with swipe right now!!

Now to find a boot animation...
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] hp420:
Here is the stock animation included with the rom
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] miguelcerca:
Any idea why it disappears on this build?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] bangishotyou:
No it didn't. My bad I meant 4.1.1 (was thinking 4.1.2 because of CM10).
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] unomedmen1:
I just realized after a day of using this ROM, but I have no email.apk lol. Anyone else, or was this removed from build 2?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] blu8503:
yea I noticed that too, someone said it was removed for stability reasons??? not sure, I used mine with exchange all the time before
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] unomedmen1:
Oh ok I see. Hmm, I'm sure it ran ok for me on build 1, but ok. Thanks

Is anyone else having an issue with vibrating notifications? I have disabled vibrate for Gtalk/Gmail notifications yet it still vibrates!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] bdragon46:
I've notice that with other builds and with a few other apps, not just Gmail. Once you put the phone on vibrate, pretty much every notification vibrate, whether or not you selected the option within the app.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] miguelcerca:
Best 4.2 rom available. Period...
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] luciferii:
love this rom. i was a lil weary upgrading cuz ive tried 2 other 4.2.1 roms and they were complete crap. this one is amazing tho.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] luciferii:
is there an inverted MMS that will work with this rom? also, is there a way to put more quick links on the slide unlock?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] dirt:
Maybe this one will work. It's from Rustyjay's rasbeanjelly 4.2.1. Make a nandroid first, just in case.

I'm missing "reboot" in my power menu. Is there a way to add it?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] luciferii:
goto the market and download "power toggles" itll put a reboot button in your notification drawer and alot of other customizable toggle buttons
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] hp420:
the notification toggles app included with the rom already has reboot options ;)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Sc4ryB3ar:
Ok, so I've played around, and for the life of me can't figure out how to zoom with this camera. I've done the two fingers slide apart thing, but that just gives me a x0.0 and i can't get it to change.... Any ideas?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Highway 55:
Nexus S has never had an option to zoom. It is one of the only things lacking on this device...
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Sc4ryB3ar:
In previous versions of the OS, I have had zoom
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Highway 55:
What ROM? Ive flashed at least 100 different ROMs since 2.3.6 gingerbread, and have never had zoom...
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Sc4ryB3ar:
I don't remember exactly, but I'm pretty sure it was one of the cyanogenmod teams....
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] the1dynasty:
Sorry to say it tooth, you must be confused... I've also flashed tons of ROMs and "zoom" is one of the first things i look for on the stock (or modified) camera app and it never works... Nexus S = no zoom

Now maybe a 3rd party app does this... But def not stock...
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Sc4ryB3ar:
You know, thinking about it again this morning I think I am. For the longest time I was using camera zoom fx, and it had zoom.... I am pretty sure that's what I was remembering... Sorry :/

im about to give sprint the middle finger and go with cricket wireless. i know it can be flashed over to our ns4gs but id like to know if i can keep this rom? i dont want to downgrade.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] the1dynasty:
You can keep any ROM you want... Carriers don't control a device specific ROM... as long as its still creapo4g you can use this ROM on any carrier that supports this device...
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] luciferii:
thank you very much. i had figured that i could use any rom because id just be upgrading the radio, prl files, etc. i just wanted to be 100% sure cuz even tho i want a galaxy s3 i LOVE my ns4g (also i dont have $300 for the galaxy)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] the1dynasty:
BTW, this was just from me reading the forums... No personal experience here!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] luciferii:
its worth a try atleast. if it works i get to keep my ns4g if not i get a new phone. either way, screw sprint!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] luciferii:
one more question... i had installed power toggles from the market and it wotked great but after i was told that this rom comes with a similar app uninstalled power toggles and went with the app that came with rom... well now i want power toggles but it will not show up in the notification drawer.. anyone know how to correct this?

“Unfortunately Exchange Services have Stopped” after reboot.

I made a Titanium backup and installed this ROM. Everything seemed fine until I found the email.apk and exchange2.apk were missing from the build (discussed earlier in the thread by DMardroid). I restored those from my Titanium backup and was able to configure exchange and see it work fine. However, after a reboot, I receive the message “Unfortunately Exchange Services have Stopped”. I can uninstall the two apks, reinstall, and reconfigure, and I am up and running until the next reboot. I checked the permissions with ES File Explorer, and they match permissions of other apks. Any other suggestions?

Thanks,

JFW
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] hp420:
this is the newest full gapps pack available...try flashing this. you may be using the email and exchange apks from another android version and it may not be compatible with 4.2.1

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] JFW:
HP420,

Thank you for your help and work on this project. I still don’t understand what happened, but this is what I did to survive one reboot so far. I reflashed your build2 then reflashed the new gapps. I was expecting the new gapps to default the email.apk and exchange2.apk installed, but it did not. Since my Titanium backup was still there, I again restored the apps from there. This time I survived the reboot just fine.

I think something was corrupt in the data, and I could not completely remove the exchange profile that was there from before. Finally some combination did the trick.

Thanks again,

JFW
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] hp420:
I'm glad you were able to get it working. If it's only surviving one boot, it's not exactly optimal, though. Have you tried just deleting the data manually from the /data/ directory with root explorer? This would (presumably) clear your profile out, then you can uninstall the app the normal way and reinstalll it....then set it up from scratch. This may be a long, drawn out PITA way to do it, but it will ensure you've got no rogue corrupt data lingering.

I've been working on a new tweaked-out version for a while now. I'll be sure to double check that these apks are in the new version ;) I've had a few requests for them.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] JFW:
Thanks for the tip about using root explorer to zap the data directory. What I meant by "surviving one reboot" was that I only tried one reboot. I suspect it is totally fixed now, but I will report back if I have a problem. Looking forward to your future contributions.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] hp420:
Oh, I see...my mistake. I thought you meant after a second boot it needed to be redone. I'm glad it works for you now.

I'm just testing a fresh flash of build 3 now, so if all goes well I'll upload it.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] hp420:
**OP updated with links and changelog for build 3.

I recommend a full wipe. A dirty flash should work, but you may run into some performance issues, since this is majorly a performance update.

Found voicemail fix. Will post up instructions when I get home.. May solve the voicemail notification.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] hp420:
that was fixed in build 2....but thanks anyway ;)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] JFW:
hp420,

Thank you for build 3. I installed it and everything seems fine. When I launched exchange, it prompted me for permission changes again, but all configurations were still there.

I know you recommend a full wipe. I have been using TWRP version 2.0 and have been doing the Cache and Dalvik Cache wipe. Is the System wipe the same as the full wipe? (Please excuse my ignorance.) If I were to do that, how would I do a data restore? Is it a matter of backing up a particular folder? Since I am using Titanium, is the data restore from there ok? Sorry for the noob questions.

JFW
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] ttakacs:
I'm not hp420, but I do use TWRP. Before I flash a new ROM, I use TWRP to backup Data. Then, from TWRP's Wipe menu, wipe Cache, Dalvik Cache, Factory Reset, and System. Return to TWRP Home > Install > the ROM & GAPPs. Back to TWRP Home > Restore > your Data Backup. Reboot and you are all done.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] JFW:
ttakacs,

Sounds easy enough. Many thanks.

I like this ROM, but I find the ad block hosts file to be too aggressive. It seems a bunch of common URL shorteners (bit.ly, t.co) are blocked, so none of the links I follow from Twitter ever work.

I installed AdFree Android and their default hosts file, and it unblocked them for me.

Throw your phone on a version prl get one from the galaxy nexus forums, it forces roaming indicator on stack up on roaming data. You'll get a call for warning, continue to roam, you'll get a letter in the mail stating they are terminating your contract for overage on roaming (even tho they say unlimited, in the contract fine print its really 300mb you can roam on per month) and BAM! Your out of contract with no eta fee :) works like a charm.

Same here.. Control file missing

sorry I got it wrong. It's a vrtheme so I guess there's no need to build through zipthemer, just flash and it's good to go hehe.

I might port it to theme chooser if I have the time, but if anyone want to use the resources to build a theme chooser version, feel free to. Do tell me though if anyone has a go on it! :)

Edit: nevermind, stupid question
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
looks nice.. will this work on all roms?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] faqe:
well since I have been using my previous theme (vrtheme format too) across various roms when I was on 4.1, it should work fine too on 4.2 roms (accept paranoidandroid, somehow the some of the resources aren't themed). HOWEVER, you may need to rename a few of system apps before flashing as OTA roms commonly use different name scheme; the 3 affected apps are browser.apk (must rename to browsergoogle.apk), deskclock.apk (to deskclockgoogle.apk, and gallery.apk (to gallerygoogle.apk). simply rename them on root explorer, and then flash the theme.

Hi everyone,

First of all, I hope I post in the right section...

So, after several days lurking and trying various solutions, I have resigned myself to ask for your help.

So here is my problem. I wanted to switch my rom to CM 10, unfortunately the install went wrong and I made the mistake to do a factory reset from the bootloader, and now i can't mount the sdcard.

I have formated my sdcard, with no success, I have tried this guide (can't post link..It's called how to fix corrupt/unmountable scdard on HTC one XL in Team Noctural forums ) with no success either...

Important precision : I have an international version of the phone (carrier : Vodafone / SFR)

Symptoms are :

- no OS

- I have access to bootloader / recovery (TWRP)

- I can mount my phone as a usb storage, but disk is empty on pc

- I can explore the folders of the sdcard in TWRP

- I can run adb commands and push files

- but I can't mount my sdcard, and thus install rom...

So I 'm begging for your help to make this phone work again.

Thank you
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
You have an international One X, so no, you're not in the right section.

What version of CM10 did you flash? Hopefully it wasn't from this forum, because if so, you might have screwed something up.

In any case, you need to be in the other One X forum.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] wombat3457:
Well, I had the same reflexion, so I've post this on the One X forum in the first place. But a member told me the section was only about ENDEAVOR, not EVITA....

So I'm kinda lost...

And indeed, I have downloaded CM10 from this forum...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
So you indeed have an Evita? Then you are in the right place.

TWRP can see folders and files in on your sd card? You just can't mount it from your pc?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] wombat3457:
Yes I have an Evita.

Yes TWRP can see folders and files (even pushed files), and I can mount (in Mount menu) system / data / cache, but not SD card (can't check the box)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
Meaning, it can see stuff on the sdcard? Not just in /system?

I assume you've tried flashing from those folders even if it's not mounted?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] wombat3457:
Yes, I can see files in the sdcard folder but when I try to install it, it shows :

Error flashing zip '/sdcard/rom.zip'

Updating partition details...

E: Unable to mount '/sdcard'

E: Unable to mount storage.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
And the Team Nocturnal tool doesn't work? You're sure you used the Evita version? What happens when you run it?

How did you format your sdcard? What format did you use?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Valohtar:
I'm surprised the Team Nocturnal tool didn't work for you. I had the same issue when I wanted to install CleanROM and the tool fixed it right up.

How far did you get into it?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] wombat3457:
Thanks to your questions I reran the Team Noctural tool, and I realized I wasn't following the procedure proprerly...Everything is fixed now !!
