[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Langduscher:
Here's the stupid-question-of-the-day: WHY buy a Nexus device and NOT root it?? :)

It's dead easy and virually made to unlock & root imho :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Big ZD:
For me, it was a way to ensure Verizon wouldn't render my device useless after 1 year and 1 bug killing, bloat adding update.

The Nexus is my update insurance policy. Updates haven't been fast, but I'm still on the most up to date phone on the VZW network.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Langduscher:
Still - the best update insurance is to unlock and root it. You'd be on 4.3 (or whatever) by next week :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
I think you missed the point:

We should not be forced to fix the crap that Google should have fixed.

Anyway, some people buy a Nexus device because it's really cheap, not to unlock the bootloader and modify the heck out of it..

And some people don't like the idea of rooting and unlocking the bootloader, which brings us back to the point i made above.^

Of course i know how to do it... I know it by heart in fact..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CADude:
You're right. I'll admit that. Hopefully there will be a 4.3.1, 4.3.2, 4.3.3 and 4.3.4 that resolves all this.

The 2.x series got to 2.3.7 so there's always hope.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Langduscher:
There's other cheap mid-end phones out here.

Imho the Nexus series are developer/ reference devices so we (especially since were here on a dev forum) can enjoy the journey to better user experience on our devices by all of the good stuff we can pick from.

But why wait when there's so much impovements to choose from? Some of the roms al already ahead of 4.3 anyway :D

(for example 4.2 introduced "tiles" where custom roms had that a long time already (quick settings) - custom kernels are lightyears ahead of the stock kernel, etc etc)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
The fact that for $300+, you can buy a phone that pretty much blows any mid-range phone out of the water, people is going to buy this... the nexus devices

True, but where's the link?

Which brings me back to the previous two points i made a few post back, some people don't like the idea of unlocking the bootloader and are extremely uncomfortable with it... I personally encountered a few of these people, it's their phone and i respect their decision.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Langduscher:
I understand you allright :good:

Let me rephrase then: enjoy the 4.2 flaws - or unlock and root your developer phone.

(I can see ordinary consumers *****ing on Google at a birthday party - but here we're on xda DEVELOPERS, were here because we take the time to look for improvements and to learn to how to apply those enhancements)

You simply can't expect an "old" and 300$ phone to outperform the newest devices on the market without modding it.

What's your take on that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tokuzumi:
I've flashed everything on my Verizon GN, and I've found the stock rooted rom is the best in my case. All other roms have lagged. CM10.1...lag. AOKP....lag. AOKP with Lean Kernel....lag. AOKP with Linaro...almost as good as stock, but still some lag. ParanoidAndroid....lag. And all of those roms would have serious memory issues where my launcher would reload all the time, or if I switched between apps, the apps would reload, and not hold my place. It would be especially bad if I went into Google Now, and then backed out using the back key. I loved features on all of these roms, and the devs are extremely talented, but I want my phone to run smooth. And for me, I've found the best performance wtih a stock rooted rom. Every phone is different, and if yours runs better with a custom rom, then :good: :highfive: When 4.3, or whatever next comes out, I'll probably just try to build it from AOSP, to have a pure stock experience.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lesicnik1:
2.3 went up .7 because Honeycomb was released, so Gingerbread got an extra half a year of updates (for ICS to come out) because it was the latest version for phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CADude:
True, which is why I didn't go to .7 with my hopes for fixes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pfmiller:
Things I want:

decent hardware

pure android

unlocked/carrier free phone

quick updates

zero messing about

Therefore the Nexus line is my only option.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CrotaNexus:
Nothing Key Lime Pie? :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
I'm not trying to out perform other newer devices, I'm talking about optimisation, which should have been done by Google and not us.

And I think you missed the fact that I'm on a custom ROM...

I know that we are on a Dev site, but there are people on this site that are not willing to unlock their bootloader, I'm sure a number of us came across such people in the Q&A section...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CADude:
I seriously don't understand these people at all. They have the time to browse XDA and make an account to ask questions but they can't learn or become proficient at unlocking and customizing. Probably a bunch of kids who got their Nexus from their parents and are scared to death of losing their warranty or bricking their only smartphone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tokuzumi:
You mean you don't understand the largest bunch of smartphone users on the planet?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CADude:
The largest bunch of smartphone users on the planet don't have XDA accounts...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tokuzumi:
This means what?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Azure Dragon:
Aren't they supposed to be working on Key Lime Pie instead? I'd like to see a new clean smooth UI from Google. As always, the Nexuses get the updates first! Mwahahahaha!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedyink:
Not that anything past 2.3.4 was really WORTH updating to..

Exactly what it says. Why would people who don't want to mod their phones have an XDA account?

Even though some don't treat it this way, XDA is a forum for developers, and those who embrace using said developers work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alohaitsdonovan:
I heard LG might get rights to Next nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tokuzumi:
XDA is a repository of user information about phones. It favors the development side, but phone repair threads, as well as feature and phone comparison discussion is an equally important part of this site.

I have personally rooted all of my phones, with the exception of my Evo 3D, which had that watermarked bootloader non-sense. But to say that people who don't root their phones are wrong or weird, or don't belong at XDA is a narrow minded viewpoint. If I need information on something, I will go to a respected source to get that info. XDA is that place. Most threads on other forums link back to this site, so why go through the middle man? We all have different reasons for choosing phones, whether to root or not, which rom/kernel to flash, which recovery is better, etc. It's what makes this place the wealth of information it is today.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Langduscher:
I completely understand where you're coming from and to an extend I agree with you :good: Therefore I hit the thanks button :)

BUT I stand by my viewpoint: enjoy lagginess OR enhance your phones' capabilities while you learn you can here. Its a great community with lots of (mostly friendly :D) ppl very willing to help

I just don't understand *****ing about it, without even thinking of improving it.

It's like not being happy with your wife, but staying with her anyway & then complain about it on a marriage counsellling forum - yet stating you dont want help because your wife just should be good to you in the 1st place :eek:

I think we repectfully disagree on this particular subject and that's ok - we should stop here an go back OT :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AntonyStark:
Also you're forgetting the people who just don't have the time or even resources to mod their phone at this point in time. They are still members of the community, what just because they choose to keep one device stock they should not be allowed to post?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
Not with this phone if they release KLP next year or this November.. At least not officially..

Beamed from my Maguro.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CADude:
If they have the time to post on a forum. they have the time to root and customize their Nexus. The non-developer people on this forum are not exactly particularly busy people. They should use that time on their hands to help themselves rather than demand that stock or some app magically work for them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] forever_lol:
I've tested tons of roms and kernels. Eventually I always come back to (slightly modded of course) stock, cos it provides me the best experience. To be honest I consider testing new roms and kernels mostly fun and not something I particularly benefit of. Of course I like all these customization options and I've always appreciated developers / themers hard work.

When I had HTC legend (600 MHz CPU) it really made sense to root, overclock and flash cyanogenmod. Benefits were almost tangible. In case of Gnexus where u can already run the latest android, your firmware is lightweight and your device is overall snappy...flashing custom software is imo the matter of taste. My personal biggest benefit so far was the option to activate "WiFi - high performance" on standby. It really helped a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AntonyStark:
I honestly do not know if you are being serious.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] filenox:
We will know in 5 days from now :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tokuzumi:
If the next nexus is the n4, with LTE connectivity, than the prophecy will be fulfilled ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pfmiller:
I wouldn't count on it, Google has never announced a Nexus phone at Google IO.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
Next week is going to be crazy around here. There will be people in every ROM thread asking about the next version of android and if the developers have any plans on updating to it. I can already see the frustration of seeing all those posts. lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] filenox:
I'm hoping for some battery improvements in Android 4.x. iPhone is still king when looking at battery life.

When you compare the iPhone 5 to the HTC One you will see (+-) the same battery life, still the battery in the One is almost double the size (1440 vs 2300 mAh)!

So it must be the software that's draining the battery, right?

---------- Post added at 07:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:25 PM ----------

Pro tip: don't check the forums until May 20th :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] t0wlie:
Don't forget the screen size.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] filenox:
Mmm okay, the One vs iPhone 5 was maybe a bad comparison because of the screen size.

Let's pick the Xperia P, 4 inch screen. 1300 mAh battery which is slight less than the iPhone 5 (1440 mAh).

When comparing total pixels, the iPhone has more pixels as well, 727040 vs 518400

So, the iPhone has slightly more pixels but also a slightly better battery which should mean equal battery life, right?

Not really: http://blog.gsmarena.com/sony-xperi...ed-1305mah-found-lacking-by-whitemagic-creen/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CADude:
I am. Why wouldn't I be serious?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Soldier 2.0:
Nexus 4 had horrendous battery life without LTE. The battery is sealed so you cannot purchase an extended one. Thanks, I'll pass...

You 'll probably need to flash stock rom, but first, give more info about your phone model..

Is it an LG, or something?

Hello XDA members. I need some help with my bachelor's thesis. I am doing an investigation on LTE services that could/can work only on LTE or at least there is a big difference between WIMAX or 3G and LTE connection speeds/service quality to prove that LTE is a good thing and should be enabled in our region. Now i need to think of at least two additional services. I have video streaming. Can someone please help me? Big thanks in an advance!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sage:
I have a bluetooth dock that i use to stream music it works great and has a USB port on it to charge my phone. Though whenever i use the usb port it causes distortion in the music streaming.

So i am looking for a software fix to disable charging on my phone (i have root / s-off).

That way i can schedule the hack to charge the phone when i am not around and stream using battery when i am. (without having to undock my phone all the time).

Anyone know of a method or app?

Appreciate any assistance you can offer.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olokos:
I'm afraid it won't be that easy as rejecting the current is actually not that easy it's like you would put the pump into already pumped football and expect no airflow. It's possible, but hard, at least I see it in this way. Well you could also cut the charging pins out of the dock but it's hardware modification :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sage:
thanks for the response i know about the cable modification though i still want to charge just not while i stream so i am looking at disabling temporarily.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Closed Source Project:
Just had a simple question regarding the separate forums for the HTC one: is the forum layout final? It doesn't seem like it should as not all carriers are present.

The better question is why do they need to be separated? I thought the T-Mobile, AT&T, and unlocked were the same as they are the UL variant?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Vatazhka:
[KERNEL MODULES] Extra kernel modules for XT910 & XT912 stock JB kernel (03 OCT 2013)

Motorola has released the complete source code of JB (9.8.2O-124_SPUEM-14 aka 982.124.14.XT910) kernel only recently, so I modified and recompiled sources of some useful modules.

EDIT: Added a separate build for XT912 9.8.2O-72_VZW-16 (aka the official Verizon JB).

EDIT: Added a separate build for XT910 6.7.2_GC-400 (aka the Chinese JB) - no exfat-nofuse as at now (upstream seems to be currently broken).

FAQ:

Q: How do I install this?

A: The ZIP file can be flashed via a custom recovery. It contains an init.d script to load all shipped modules, but you'll need to set up a working init.d subsystem first for this to work.

Q: Will this work with 9.8.2O-72_VZW-8 (XT912) / 9.8.2O-124_SPUL-18 (XT910 Northern America) / 9.8.20-124_SPUL-17 (XT910 Latin America) / 9.8.2O-124_SPUEM-14 (XT910 Australia)?

A: Probably yes, but I haven't tested it - YMMV. It would be best to recompile the source code of modules against source code of a given kernel. If modules don't load, please send me output of dmesg command (kernel log) - the reason is most likely missing symbols in a given kernel.

Q: The ... cpufreq governor doesn't work for me - it suspends 2nd CPU core too early/too late, doesn't ramp up/ramp down the CPU frequency quickly enough etc.

A: Please tweak the tunables via sysfs interface. For a nice GUI, please see Trickster MOD app.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xtam:
Will it work on 982.124.14 ?

like for example on this rom:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2213422

?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Vatazhka:
Yes, they have been compiled for the exact kernel version as shipped with the stock firmware JB 4.1.2 aka 9.8.2O-124_SPUEM-14 aka 982.124.14.XT910.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xtam:
Thanks.

You wrote:

"there are more to come". SO just asking:

is it possible to create modules for more governors, like intellidemand, sacurative

and for undervolting and especially for underclocking - it would be great to be able to have stock rom with min freq not 300mhz but 100mhz.

Currrently only dtrails kernel and aokp by surdu can do that, but those rom are AOKP/AOSP based on CM so there is no HDMI support.

It would be great to have such modules for fully working generic factory rom by moto....with ability to underclock at least....
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Vatazhka:
I will look into this. I had fixed pegasusq and ported lulzactive today, I will upload them in the evening.

100 MHz will be hard to achieve unless the stock kernel is modified to support it and booted via kexec. I will focus on kernel modules at the moment.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xtam:
Ok, but as i understand, source code is available, so hdmi support is inside it and all functions are OK, as for motorola did it.

So if sources are available, and it can be compiled, the only difference between this and stock version will be:

advantage: Overclocking, underclocking, all other mods

disadvantage: Encryption signature not approved by motorola.

So kexec will be needed, to solve this disadvantage.

And all other functions will be working ok, like hdmi etc... ?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Vatazhka:
I think so, but I will need to thoroughly examine whether it works.

So far, I managed to add some modules - changelog below:

Rebuilt modules using Linaro GCC 4.7-2013.03 toolchain

Fixed pegasusq cpufreq governor

Added lulzactive and sacuractive cpufreq governors
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Crumplet:
Do you have a step by step guide on how to install these .ko's using insmod in terminal emulator?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xtam:
copy modules for example into etc/init.d

set permissions rwx -rx - rx

terminal

su

cd /etc/init.d

insmod symsearch.ko

insmod pegasus.ko
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Crumplet:
Not working out for me, 1: Their is no file named intit.d in my etc device folder nor do i have permissions to even write to this folder and ultimately not allowing me to copy and paste them over to it. 2: i am basically stuck at process step "copy modules for example into etc/init.d"
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Nandeh:
Copy them to another folder /system/lib/modules and follow the steps using this path
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Crumplet:
Not working, i don't have permissions to copy and paste to this directory.I have root, and using es file explorer app to copy and paste.Any other suggestions?Maybe a terminal command on how to give write permissions would help a lot...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Vatazhka:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] xtam:
You have to install some file Explorer with root access first.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] artur0588:
Nice work, going to try it with my roms. Are you planing to create cpucontrol module?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Vatazhka:
Thank you. I'm definitely going to recompile and possibly extend cpucontrol module. I'm currently evaluating whether there is any possibility to extend its functionality without affecting existing interfaces. If they stay untouched, I will stay with Tweakerz app (which doesn't seem to be developed anymore). However, if interfaces are going to change, I'd like to make the module compatible with Trickster MOD app in order to achieve some "cross-firmware standard" compatibility.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xtam:
Is it possible to compile only this kernel as is, to use it with kexec?

because then it would be possible to use roms with other jbs kernel, like verizon, for example jellywiz and .14 with this kexec having full functionality of all roms...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Vatazhka:
I'm trying to find out what changes are required to turn a stock kernel into a kexec bootable one.

Anyway, for the time being, please see OP for the next release:

ZIP installer is there - at last! You have to have a working init.d system prior to installing this ZIP (install e.g. Universal Init.d).

Oce again switched toolchains, this time to the Android prebuilt one (GCC 4.4.3). This is the one with which the stock kernel is built, i.e. the most compatible one.

Added cpu_control by whirleyes.

Enjoy!

[Motorola Droid RAZR] mydoom:
Thanks for amzing work.

Sorry for nood question after flash zip on OP and reboot i use SM to run and got this.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Vatazhka:
I might be wrong but I think it's pointless when using a hotplugging cpufreq governor. The governor will put the 2nd core to sleep by itself. This app will wake up the device every now and then to only request the 2nd core to sleep.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Cnorm:
Would this patch OC GPU?, i need this the most:o
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
Nope.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Crumplet:
@ Vatazhka could you make a module that would be compatible for kitkat roms and setcpu from the play store with use of this kernel in particular http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2654233 , they are becoming stable and i think this would be a nice compliment to our phones.Thank you.

You need app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androguide.universal.init.d so it runs the modules. But before that you need to edit a text file that the zip file installed. And in order to do that you need to have an file Explorer with root permissions to edit and save the script you posted above. Please note that underclocking will not stick. You can only overclock.
