By saying that you're implying that NO custom kernel on 4.2.1 on ANY phones it would make a difference. So you're calling everybody a liar in kernel threads because they feel a placebo? It certainly makes a noticeable difference in overall phone performance as well as battery.

Google has not optimized the device as far as possible by ANY means. There are always room for improvement in every device and software that is ever released. As more optimizations are done, it is harder to optimize but there is ALWAYS room for improvement. ALWAYS.

On the Nexus 4, your statement is outright wrong. Google didn't optimize the kernel by any means, there are many problems with it. It is stable for sure, but there is so much Google could of done to improve the kernel where kernel developers are doing quite the job on improving upon it. This goes the same for the Galaxy Nexus as it is the Galaxy Nexus forum.

Colors on stock kernel vs. custom kernel with Color Control... difference? YUP.

Benchmark differences? YUP. (benchmarks dont really mean anything for real-time performance but for some people they are so 'woah' about it)

Improved WiFi performance? YUP. Proved in many threads with newer sources.

Not to mention the PGM module? PGM is so awesome for the Galaxy Nexus that it can't be given up ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
For me the speed on Stock Android JB 4.2.1 browser is really good but I have issue with uploading:

When I upload files to e.g. xda-developers, ge.tt, mediafire, etc. uploading will fail what have not happened on JB 4.1.2 and older Jelly Bean ROMs.

So if I want to upload file to internet I have to use Chrome.

I use 3G on my Nexus pretty much and the speed is really good compared to other browsers e.g. Chrome, Dolphin.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rodmc123:
if there is one thing where the galaxy nexus is really great is browser performance, the stock browser works fantastic, stock or with some custom kernel, the browsing experience is almost the same.. if your browser performance is bad may be your connection or any other issue, because atleast in my case it works perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wlemammoth:
I just recently switched back to Dolphin after giving Chrome a good month or so to wow me. I don't think it is a lot faster than Chrome, but it is faster. Plus, extensions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Braneless:
I've used Quick ICS Browser for ages and it's great. Recently started using Opera and it's pretty sweet too, although nut as feature-packed.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MutantWizard:
I got both Titanium and Dropbox installed. Defined a Titanium backup schedule for the backup to be synced to Dropbox but Titanium keeps comming back with "Dropbox access credentials are not defined".

Tried to figure out where and how to define the credentials but no luck so far. Any help would be appreciated.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adytum:
This is a really weird issue that should be automatically resolved, perhaps we're both overlooking something obvious...

Anyway, the solution is simply to first enable Dropbox in settings, which I assume you've done, then run the schedule that should be in schedules tab afterwards, "sync to dropbox". You will then have the automatic permission dialogue appear and it will sync, and be ready for use in other schedules thereafter. You don't have to complete the operation after running the sync schedule, just get the account permissions done and you can cancel the operation if you want.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MutantWizard:
Yes did enable Dropbox, ther is a green tick against it in initial screen,

Ahhh..... think it requires you to first run the sync manualy at least once so you give Titanium the permission to access the Dropbox account. Hope it works from now on!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adytum:
Yes, that's it. Though I can't see why they couldn't just have this functionality in options.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] echoboomer:
First android phone :cowboy: it's a AT&T One X, i'll be using it on the Bell network. Got a good deal on Kijiji and I didn't ask enough questions apparently, lol.

The phone is clearly not stock, took me several hours to piece that together. I get it, I'm a noob. I can tell it's running Cleanrom 4.5. I want to get it back to something close to stock. I plan to learn all about rooting/roms but I want to do it from a vanilla phone so that I get to actually do it myself.

I googled and found a tutorial (link). I deleted the 'su' file and superuser.apk. I followed the rest of the steps and it didn't seem to do anything, just rebooted back into cleanrom.

I kept googling and now I'm following this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1859714

I guess i'm going to flash from an RUU now :confused:? My CID is 11111111, so I've read that means I have superCID and any RUU will work. I want to get to JB eventually, so can I just flash direct to the Europe 3.14 JB from HTCRUU? Or go with one of the ICS versions?

Am I doing this right?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] superchilpil:
No no no!

Edit: still writing but wanted to say don't flash that ruu

If you want completely stock you need to use fast boot and boot into hboot and run fastboot OEM lock

(You may need to search around to learn how do that)

Then run this ruu. http://beta.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390077933525139511
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] DvineLord:
that is for the wrong phone

only place you should look at is here AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] omario8484:
Its good your asking the questions now:cowboy: if you want to go completely stock run an ruu which means relicking the bootloader and running it ill link you to some guides in a sec

---------- Post added at 07:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:43 AM ----------

Oh and like others said don't use that ruu! We have the one XL
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] DvineLord:
cleanrom 4.5 is pretty good and close to stock but adds quick settings, debloated, power menu and some other tweaks. i would keep it how it is and just learn about how custom roms work. you can learn how to use twrp in its current state and maybe learn how to use some root apps.

just so you know your phone is the evita not the endeavoru.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] echoboomer:
Thanks for the replies.

I haven't tried flashing anything yet so don't worry. I'm taking it slow.

I've already been into fastboot. Figured that out because it was a required step in the guides I said I was trying to use. I have all the drivers installed and I'm able to talk to the phone via fastboot at the comand prompt.

LOL, thanks for letting me know my phone is Evita. I guess I can delete the 600mb RUU I downloaded :cool:

I'm a little unclear about HBOOT vs. fastboot. I can get into the bootloader and go to the fastboot USB mode... is this analogous to HBOOT?

So my steps right now are:

1) Download correct RUU, Evita 2.20 ICS - I've also seen people discussing 1.85 vs 2.20, why chose one over another?

2) fastboot oem lock

3) Install RUU while phone is in bootloader mode

That right?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
I would strongly suggest to slow down, and learn more about what root is and means, before going back stock. Root is just a change in permissions. You gain absolutely nothing by unrooting, and lose quite a bit. You lose the ability to do all sorts of mods to your phone, flash custom ROMs, use apps that require root like Adaway and Titanium Backup (and many others), remove carrier bloatware, activate tethering, and much more.

People have gone through great pains to find root methods for our device (and other Android devices). Many come on here looking for these root methods, for the awesome benefits that root means. I've seen very few, if any, people before you that have said "crap I accidentally got a rooted device, and don't want root". Think about that one for a while.

Plus, CleanROM 4.5 is already based on a more updated firmware version than any of the official AT&T RUUs. Plus it includes a lot of cool features and optimizations. Again, going from CleanROM to stock is a step backwards, not forwards, and you are gaining nothing, and losing quite a bit. Another thing about CleanROM, is that it is devoid of the AT&T bloatware (and there is a lot). Keep in mind that on the stock AT&T ROM, the bloat is not removable without root, so you are stuck with quite a few crappy apps that you will never use. That alone is a huge reason to have a rooted device. Also bear in mind that stock AT&T does not allow tethering (unless you have a data plan that allows it) and has other stock HTC apps (like FM radio) disabled. These cannot be enabled unless you have root.

Another thing, is that you will not get Jellybean any faster on stock than rooted. While its true that rooted, this phone will not be able to take the OTA when it rolls out (hasn't happened yet). But a stock rooted JB firmware will almost certainly be posted here on XDA, that is safely flashable on a rooted device. This often happens within a couple days of the OTA starting to roll out, if not faster. Sometimes even before the OTA, as sometimes the official RUUs get leaked before the OTA. All it takes is for a dev to get his hands on the files, apply root, and upload it here. Learning how to flash such a file to your device is very simple. Not much more than: download the file to your phone, boot into recovery, and press "install". So yet again, stock gains nothing over being rooted.

While its true that root is not for everyone. But if you've already found this place, and learned what things like RUU, bootloader, and fastboot are, then you probably already know more than most folks do about Android. You may feel in over your head, but it really just takes a few hours of reading to learn the fundamentals. And with that knowledge, you can do so much more with your phone than you can without root.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] echoboomer:
I appreciate the advice, thanks. To be clear, eventually I will probably bring the device back to where it is now. I've used linux before so I have an understanding of the permissions system and the added benefits of root.

My goal here is to get the phone back to stock so that I can learn the rooting/flashing process from the start, not the end. I understand why that might seem counterintuitive but I'm a very hands on person and I'll learn more of the theory by walking through the process than reading about how somebody else hacked this device to get where it is now.

Sure I'm making extra work for myself but I know what im getting into.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
You should have said so from the start, then. This pretty much negates everything I just typed above.

Its admirable that you want to learn the process from scratch, and its the opposite attitude of most n00bs here.

My advice, as another mentioned above, is stick to XDA, and don't follow instructions from random Googled sites. Most of those sites don't clearly delineate between our phone (Snapdragon S4) and the international (Tegra3) version, and following instructions for the international version is a great way to brick your phone.

Other than that, lock the bootloader, run the RUU, and have fun. Also check your hboot version. If its anything but 1.14, don't run the 2.20 RUU. You will want the 1.73 or 1.85 RUU instead, as the 2.20 RUU will update the hboot to 1.14, which plugs the holes by which boot.img and radios can be flashed from recovery. Unless you want to create ever MORE work for yourself, as the hboot can be downgraded using a Linux computer, lol!

Be sure to check out my index thread, as most anything you will need is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1671237
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] echoboomer:
Thanks, sounds like I'm on the right track.

Also check back to my OP, I did say that I wanted to learn the whole process but I wanted to do it from stock. :) sorry you typed all that out but in sure it will help some other noob down the line.

Last thing, 1.85 vs 2.20?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] echoboomer:
Cool thanks, I found a tutorial last night on how to extract boot.IMG from the ruu exe. I think I'm good to go.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
You might be confused. You shouldn't have to pull a boot.img from an RUU typically, only from a custom ROM zip. And only if you are on boot 1.14.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] echoboomer:
Probably confused. Here's what I see in the boot loader.

[Galaxy Note II General] DeadSix17:
The USB Connection never really works fine. (On windows7)

Sometimes i get the "Unknown Device Error" and sometimes it says "Unknown Hardware ID"

I thought its the EFS (IMEI) problem, so i restored my EFS of the Stock ROM (Note: On stock rom the USB Connection works just fine)

Anyway it didn't solve the problem, i still can't connect it to my PC, ADB Works but the MTP Mode doesn't.

Anyone knows a solution or some alternative? I also miss the Mass storage mode of older/other Android Phones.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyOGuy:
In as few words as I can muster.

I recently tried to back up my current ROM CheckRomV6 using CWM. In attempting so the following occurs.

I need to get this fixed so that I can begin the progress change my rom. What is causing this? I'm thinking it's the kernel, but to be frank I really am at a loss. I'm still rather inexperienced with all this. Any suggestions? (I have searched.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mohammed Atef:
You're probably using CWM or a ROM manager to do a backup

Try rebooting in recovery and use the option (Backup & Restore) to do a backup, use .tar format if available in the menu

Backing up the ROM doesn't require a safe kernel, but restoring a backup does

Best of luck
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyOGuy:
I just tryed that. Not. Good. This has officially gone over my current know how.

CWM won't let me select anything. Regardless if I scroll up or down ( to try to select Backup & Restore) The cursor moves... then the screen "blinks" black... and then my cursor is back where it originally was at (reboot). I need to make sure that this isn't a deeper problem before I flash something.

I am open for suggestions. :confused:

I flashed speed from to my Phone. Now I can't go into recovery mode. Try to go to root toolbox and rebbot into recovery and it just freezes and says the "not responding" message..

Use 4ext app and does the same.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Ninjistix:
have you tried flashing recovery again?
[HTC Amaze 4G] SdRasta:
Yeah and it fails...
[HTC Amaze 4G] Ninjistix:
when flashing it from within fastboot? that seems weird...

I can get into team win recovery project now but the "super.zip" that I need to flash doesn't show up. A lot of files don't show up for that matter. What do I do?
[HTC Amaze 4G] DigitalUnderground:
Which twrp version? There was a brief day or two that the gs3s twrp wouldn't read zips either but was fixed yesterday.

However, with the amaze you should be using 4ext anyway. Make your life easier
[HTC Amaze 4G] Ninjistix:
first off stop what your doing and go flash 4EXT recovery.. its the #1 recommended recovery for all htc phones...
[HTC Amaze 4G] ted619:
If u r on twrp just go to mount and mount the external or internal memory... I switched to twrp after 4ext didn't want to flash a Rom...
[HTC Amaze 4G] SdRasta:
I have 4ext and when I press install after I open it, but it's just freezes. I what do I do?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Ninjistix:
thats out of date version, and do you have root permissions? because the database checks online after reacquiring root permissions... go into recovery and try to fix permissions then restart the phone and try again, but make sure you have super SU installed.. superuser is kinda buggy for some reasons with some apps
[HTC Amaze 4G] SdRasta:
I'm not rooted anymore after flashing the speed rom. I have the file I need to get root back but I can't get into recovery to flash the file and with teamwin the zip doesn't show..

I don't know what to do...

Appreciate the help....
[HTC Amaze 4G] SdRasta:
Please help me get resolved
[HTC Amaze 4G] Ninjistix:
ive said a million times for people to USE 4ext recovery for HTC devices.. and if you install speedrom and you dont have root.. im pretty sure EclipzeRemix posted a supersu to flash afterwards for people who lost root
[HTC Amaze 4G] SdRasta:
I know but how can I flash the superuser zip if I can't get anyway to flash it?
[HTC Amaze 4G] DigitalUnderground:
Read. Learn adb. Or sell ur phone for a dumb phone.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Ninjistix:
if your having issues flashing something with twrp use 4EXT, you can use hasoon's AIO toolkit to flash 4EXT and the toolkit also pushes supersu to your SD card so you can flash it in recovery

Alright :P I felt bad that I couldn't

Could a mod lock this then?

He's a very nice guy. Just was using the old guide for root, which was for Gingerbread which he flashed Ziggy's GB kernel. He needs to be flashed over to the Global RUU to obtain GSM support for his trip and was on the OTA. Going to be helping further during the weekend.

Old versions of Navitel Navigator no longer work on Android 4.2.1.

the only alternative to keep working with navitel, is to use version 7+ and that is not compatible with old nm2 maps. so you will probably need to purchase maps again from navitel.
