I'm not sure but i think you should also port the rom (there's many tutorials here). But if you try anything, share it :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] Rubenyz:
Yes, thay's completely right !

The kernel has the partitioning info inside, but the memory pn the AceI is else, so you must, or remove the kernel, or edit the kernel, but that is not quite easy.

For the screen, the resolution doesn't matter, Android works with DpI (dots per inch) settings, but if you like to have some more space pm you screen you can set or keep the DpI on 120.

You should add H2O Wireless also which is also a Locus Communications company (same as Black Wireless). I'll just copy them since Black Wireless basically a copy of H2O:

Best Deal: $60 Unlimited Talk/Text/2gb Data

Sim Card: Micro 9.99 on their site (bought mine for $0.99 on Amazon, shipped).

Throttled Data: NO, per customer support. After 2gb data in 30 day period, data is disabled. Another plan would be purchased to re-enable data.

Customer Support: Phone/Chat/Email *Good

Pros: Clear Defined Data terms. 2gb/mos at HSPA speed, unthrottled. Better Customer Support. 100 International Texts included @ 50/60 price. Direct Dial International calls. No access numbers

Cons: $15 dollars/mos higher than Straight Talk.

FYI - H2O uses the same APN as Straight Talk (AT&T) and Black Wireless listed above. I get MMS and everything working just fine on any unlocked phone I've ever had using that APN.
[Nexus 4 General] lakedubvt:
I think I have just been throttled with Black Wireless. It has only been 4 days and I have only used 277MB. I am going to call customer service and I will update.

I would probably hold off for now if you were thinking about picking them up...

damn, glad I stalled on that. thanks
[Nexus 4 General] snowmanwithahat:
Just a few notes on these 2. I've tried both T-Mobile and AT&T Go-Phone in the last 2 months and I'm really disappointed with both.

I chewed through my AT&T Go-Phone 1gb of data in 3 weeks flat. At $.05/mb it's a steep charge to go over ($50 / gb). The most disappointing part of this service was that they limit you to their regular HSPA network, not their HSPA+ network. It's "not yet available" through the Go-Phone service according to a service rep. Bull**** artificial limitation.

I preemptively moved to a T-Mobile plan because of the data cap problems with AT&T. I immediately noticed huge coverage gaps on my 1 hour drive home (From Canton, MI to Jackson, MI). Pandora stopped several times and service fell back to GPRS which left me unable to smoothly stream music.

Overall both are disappointing. If AT&T offered a plan with decent data speeds and a decent data cap I'd be happy with them. It's especially annoying considering Verizon LTE is available in this area and pulls down ~45mbps on a GS3, but of course that's not even an option.

*shakesfist* damn you American carriers
[Nexus 4 General] ziggy34:
I agree about T-Mobile, that's why I am trying black wireless. I live in adrian, I have to go,to Jackson, Ann Arbor, or Toledo to get anything above edge on T-Mobile. At least with black wireless (AT&T) I am now getting 5-6 meg down.

I'm so use to using wifi for everything, I guessing the 2gb of data I have a month will be more then enough.
[Nexus 4 General] clockcycle:
I posted this in the straight talk thread, but since I'm usually an avid pusher of the pros of their service. I feel it's my duty to fairly report when there's cons too.

Well I'm on my last day of my latest 3 month refill. Suddenly my data is super slow, simple mobile slow...

I opened a ticket and the reply says I've been throttled for violating the policy portions 6 &7..

Funny thing is the reason it happened was I was having issues lately with pages initially taking a while to load. But data speeds were still at 6/1mbs. I edited my apn to include the previously removed proxy settings to see if that made a difference. It did, pages resolved and loaded fast again with the proxy settings set. I had been using it without problems for 6 months without proxy settings. I then edited the default mvno proxy and used 66.209.11.32:80 instead and it worked, even better results. But the next day started getting access denied messages loading google search. So I set it back to 66.209.11.33:80 and forgot it.

I was testing my wife's iphone also on straight talk and data worked great. But decided to remove unlockit's apn app, then install blackwireless/h20's apn app instead.

Well sily me deleted the unlockit app and had no net access on her phone to install the other app. So I enabled the n4 hotspot to share it's connection, so I could get her phone working again. Worked fine. H20 apn app works at getting att.mvno set without a sim swap or jailbreak. Cool I thought.

Today my data is slow as molasses... Six months on this without issues, trying not to break their rules. Bam!

So beware, it's not just how much data you use, but how they deem you're breaking policy. Phone reports that I used a total of 382mb from dec 31 to jan 7 on this 2nd n4 and I used about the same on my 1st n4. Which rounds out to less than 1gb...

YMMV
[Nexus 4 General] clockcycle:
ok so those of you that considered st that went elsewhere, what provider did you chose & hows it working for ya so far? Same for those that left st becuz of throttling, what you switch to?

I was looking at blackwireless but it hardly has data and starts getting pricy. Also solavei seems to be a multi level pyramid scheme.. But without getting into the mln portion perhaps the service alone is ok, is its data really unlimited?

Looks like it's time for me to switch..
[Nexus 4 General] lakedubvt:
Okay I was definitely throttled on Black Wireless, basically getting edge speeds. Went from 5-8 Mbps down to 0.1 Mbps down. Speeds much slower than when I was throttled with Straight Talk.

I had the service for only 4 days before I was throttled. Around 300 MB of used data. Normal activity, nothing crazy. YouTube and daily browsing and that was it.

When I called customer service and told them I was throttled, they started singing a different tune. Now they are saying "4g" speeds for the first 500mb then slower speeds. The funny thing is I didn't even use 500mb, so who knows how this works.

Right now I am trying to get some type of refund. But highly recommend against Black Wireless. The service is more expensive than Straight Talk and in my personal experience I was throttled much faster.
[Nexus 4 General] reuthermonkey:
I've used ATT-Straight Talk and am currently using T-Mobile Prepaid's $30 plan and would like to point out some throttling differences.

While T-Mobile will throttle the $30 plan after 5GB, that throttle only applies to the rest of the current billing cycle. If you hit 5GB on the 22nd day of your billing cycle, if you get throttled at all, you'll be throttled to ~64kbps for 8 or 9 more days.

With ATT, you get throttled for the remainder of your billing cycle PLUS the next entire month. That means, if you hit your 2GB on the 22nd day of your billing cycle, you'll be throttled to ~150kbps for the next 38 or 39 days. Calls to ST-ATT did not rectify this. User beware.

So if you're a heavy data user who lives in a great TMO coverage area, I highly recommend T-Mobile over ATT.
[Nexus 4 General] Lttlwing16:
This is interesting as my experience differed. After being throttled, I had ST reprovision and within 10 days I was back to normal speeds. In those 10 days I used very little data as I used WiFi for 95% of my data use. Just renewed my plan and am getting 5/6 down in the new billing cycle.

What can be inferred is that their throttling practices have no rhyme or reason..very inconsistent and unpredictable.

For my needs, I need the reliability and coverage of the ATT network to receive calls. By using Tasker to auto start WiFi at home and work based on location, I use my mobile data for times when I am away from home and work. This is the best practice for keeping me out of trouble with ST/ATT. However, everyone doesn't have the luxury of using WiFi at both home and work. But if you do, its the way to go.
[Nexus 4 General] clockcycle:
I think the reason is that blackwireless+parent is a lot smaller and less powerful than st+net10+tracfone in the world cellular/ provider ring. Therefore has less clout in getting sweeter deals. Kinda sad consider they probably aren't saturated nor have they over sold their network yet and already throttling. Anyways like I've mentioned mvno usually don't have control and it's at&t's automated system cutting you/ us.. It must be set more aggressively for black than st..

Thanks for sharing. Makes easier to discard blackwireless as an option.
[Nexus 4 General] ketjr81:
Can anyone compare the ATT coverage to Tmobile as far as going into buildings and so on? I have tmobile right now in Seattle, which has great coverage but anytime I step inside any building I end up with edge connection, which is horrible and too slow for any use. So a majority of the time the HSPA+ coverage is a waste for me on tmobile.

I'm not a heavy user so I was considering att on straight talk, att has good coverage here in Seattle as well.
[Nexus 4 General] c0LdFire:
I live in a smaller / less populated city then Seattle, but my building coverage here is just fine. There's a few places, like the basement floor of the mall, where I have noticed it drop to EDGE - but in most areas, I barely lose much signal indoors. Your average grocery store or restaurant here isn't going to be inside of a giant 247812894 story building like a big city, though, so that's probably the difference..
[Nexus 4 General] ziggy34:
Thanks for the info. If I get throttled, I will call and complain. I have the chat log that says NO throttling at all.
[Nexus 4 General] co.ag.2005:
FWIW OP and others, it looks like Solavei is dropping their SIM fee from $29 to $9.

Email from them:

ending in December, they had a promotion for a free sim + free enrollment fee, so I signed up to give them a try. I've had it for a few weeks and it's been working pretty well. I keep the Solavei sim in my N4 and my AT&T sim in my old Samsung Blackjack that I still have as an emergency backup phone.

I still prefer AT&T to T-Mobile, however, if their MVNO's keep aggressively throttling like they are now and offering less and less data, I may be forced to go the T-Mobile/Solvei route. Or just stay with AT&T postpaid (wife and my plan is ~$140/month with employer discounts, would be ~$100/month if we were both on a decent pre-paid carrier).

Also, OP, thanks for putting together this thread!

if anyone else wants more info regarding prepaid options, take a look at the massive thread in the Galaxy Nexus forum:

[Nexus 4 General] :
Lovely thread. Reminds me of the Galaxy Nexus thread, good memories.
[Nexus 4 General] lakedubvt:
Update on Black Wireless. I was able to receive a full refund. I was told that their throttle policy has changed in the past two weeks and sounds like most of the customer service reps don't even know/understand the new policy yet. But it is throttle after the first 500mb, so keep us updated on your status once you hit 500mb.

I guess I will be returning to ST because it looks to be the only good option if you want prepaid AT&T. Even if I have to get two ST Sims a month to switch between when one gets throttled it is still cheaper than a plan directly from AT&T.
[Nexus 4 General] ziggy34:
Are you going to port your number out of black wireless? If so, please post what info is needed to port out from them. I have not seen any account number or anything, so don't know what I'll need.

I talked to them on the 2nd and was told 2gig no throttling. But if I'm going to be throttled, I might as well save the $15 and go with straight talk.
[Nexus 4 General] RictopherJamison:
I'm on Net 10 since for some reason straight talk only uses Verizon where I live, been happy with it so far, with unlimited 4g not throttled so far
[Nexus 4 General] cbutt:
Just an FYI:

I tested out straight talk at&t here in NY last may with my gnex. I enjoyed it so much, I gave my old tmo s2 to my dad & put him on straight talk t-mobile for father's day. He has been on it ever since. He doesn't really get the whole data allotment thing so he has consistently gone over his data for almost a year with no throttling (Knocks on wood). I put my mom on straight talk at&t in august & she has been very happy, though doesn't use much data.

In March, I will be ditching my postpaid tmo contract & switching back to straight talk on my n4.
[Nexus 4 General] lakedubvt:
I use Google Voice so I won't be porting, sorry I couldn't help. I really enjoy Google Voice, but it does have some draw backs so it's not for everyone. But for situations like these it makes it really easy.
[Nexus 4 General] clockcycle:
Blackwireless just like straight talk dont do the throttling. AT&T does it, they don't have control. All they can do is reprovision and hope that clears it. But if you violate policy they can't do anything.
[Nexus 4 General] lowrider262:
to the people using solavei, what are you're data speeds like? I've been using it for 2 days now and i can't seem to pull any more than 6-7 mb down. and I've run the speed tests in the same places that I used to get 16-18mb on T-Mobile prepaid, at the same times. it almost seems like I'm not getting the HSPA+ speeds, cause these are about the same speeds I used to get on my sensation, which only went up to HSPA. I mean don't get me wrong, 6-7mb is plenty for what I need, but I assumed id be able to get full speeds on solavei.
[Nexus 4 General] co.ag.2005:
I'm getting 6-12 Mbps down here in Downtown Denver, but in the town I live in west of Denver, I only get EDGE or very slow HSPA (~300 kbps down).

On my AT&T postpaid sim, I get 4-8 Mbps in Denver and 6-12 Mbps in my town west of Denver...

so speeds on Solavei are faster here in Denver but are abysmal in Evergreen... enough of an issue for me to stay with AT&T for the time being. I like to have a good data connection on my bus rides to/from work and Solavei doesn't cut it outside of the immediate Denver area :(

per your "issue", when you are doing a speed test, go to Settings-> about phone -> status... look for mobile network type and see what it says while your data connection is active (i.e. running a speed test). it should say HSPA+:15 if on HSPA+ I believe.

[Nexus 4 General] c0LdFire:
T-Mobile doesn't heavily enforce anti-tethering anyway. All they use is a user agent string watcher. I've never had a problem. Just don't over-do it and start torrenting like an idiot.

That being said, I don't understand why anyone tethers. Homes have WiFi. Work places have WiFi. Restaurants have WiFi. Hotels have WiFi. I barely even have a use for mobile data period..
[Nexus 4 General] grubbster:
Because people are not always in places where there is WiFi or the WiFi costs money. I go to campgrounds often and either they don't have WiFi or it costs $10 per day. Dang straight I am going to use the data I am already paying for if I can, i.e. tether. ;)
[Nexus 4 General] Mr.Mischief:
I just activated an H2o Sim. I only put $10 on it so I could test the data speed.
[Nexus 4 General] noneone:
Last night T-mobile blocked PDANET+ wifi for me. SO, they do try to prohibit hotspot. I did switch the user agent string. Near as I can tell, they (tmo) DID "interrupt" my service, even though I looked like a phone, for very large downloads (HD video), I tried to buy a TV show from amazon. When I purchase the hotspot service, no problem. When I use something like PDANET+ (foxfi) I have to jump through hoops and it still doesn't work perfect.

I am in a hotel most days a month. Most hotels internet blows, especially in evening hours when many use QOS type stuff and have capacity issues. I play many online video games, and need good internet, most hotels don't have that.

SO my main internet for my computer is my cell. I don't hve wifi "at home". My workplace does NOT have open WIFI, its secure, and they don't let personal MAC addresses on. It's a pain to take my computer to a restaurant to game using their wifi.

SO, I am willing to pay extra for wirless cell service that has good speed internet, AND, allows me to tether.

That to me is a big issue with most of the MVNO's, they are not "tether friendly" and often don't even have an option to purchase tether service. Similarly, given my internet needs, Straight Talk and some of the others with "unknown" download caps don't work for me.

TMO prepaid has clear definitions of how much, has the cheapest per GB of the prepaids that has a tethering option.

1) I would love to tether on the TMO $70 unlimited plan, even if I had to pay more for tether.

2) solavei has clear DL amount and good price ($50 for 4 GB) but, I have not seen if they allow full tethering or not.

Thanks!

I just finished my first month with Solavei. Generally speaking, the service and data speeds are pretty good. Much better on the Nexus 4 than when I was on AT&T. They do add about $9 in fees in taxes each month here in Maryland.
[Nexus 4 General] CrimsonSmear:
I have tethered on Solavei for over 14 hours (crossing multiple state lines) in a 24 hour period on more than one occasion and have had no interruption in speed or service (YMMV). Be aware that they are akin to XDA for mobile service... primarily moderator/member support. If you require hand-holding with your service, it comes at the cost of a higher price provider/service plan. Sign-up is sponsor driven, I am sure anyone here that is currently a member would be happy to sponsor anyone interested... just make your intent known.

---------- Post added at 11:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 PM ----------

Solavei does collect tax (varies according to state). Saying Solavei service is >$60/month is a more realistic assessment, considerably less if you take part in the incentive plans even to the extent of earning.
