an interesting URL with info from someone else that was looking into this for Win7...

http://withinwindows.com/2011/03/06/notes-on-windows-phone-7-update-process-thus-far/

I wonder if we can figure out what "updates" are actually required if we can trick the server into giving us more OOB updates/othercarrier updates/updates we aren't "supposed" to have..

Found some info on the "Evaluate" action:

I was also messing with fiddler and I noticed my phone access two different places when a phone update is selected. One of the pages is: http://ds.download.windowsupdate.com/wp8/MicrosoftUpdate/Redir/duredir.cab . In that cab is this file wuredir.xml and consists of:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<WuRedir xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/msus/2002/12/wuredir" redirectorId="1002">

<Protocol

elementVersion="1"

clientServerUrl="https://fe1.update.microsoft.com/v6/"

reportingServerUrl="http://statsfe1.update.microsoft.com/" />

</WuRedir>

the second page accessed is: http://fe1.update.microsoft.com/WP8/MicrosoftUpdate/Selfupdate/5_UssDetection.dll

I hexed the .dll after download and found some download links to some cert files, which are:

Microsoft Windows Phone Production PCA 2012.crt

http://www.microsoft.com/pkiops/certs/Microsoft Windows Phone Production PCA 2012.crt

MicRooCerAut_2010-06-23.crt

http://www.microsoft.com/pki/certs/MicRooCerAut_2010-06-23.crt

MicTimStaPCA_2010-07-01.crt

http://www.microsoft.com/pki/certs/MicTimStaPCA_2010-07-01.crt

can any of this info help us?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
If either that DLL or any of those certificates are not signed (highly unlikely, but worth checking), or if the DLL doesn't enforce the signature check (extremely unlikely), or if any of the certs include the private key or use a weak hash algorithm or a short key... maybe. I checked the certs, though; they at least are clean. Nothing useful that I saw.

Reverse engineering the DLL may be useful, but it's probably native code and therefore a pain to decompile.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] compu829:
Those are the first steps in the update process. Basically, it gets the certs that it will use for validation and server communication. then the CAB file contains the info on what servers are used for Windows Update communications. It then logs that a request has been made to the tracking server. After that, it gets a list of updates from the v6 address. If there are no updates, Once the update process is complete, it logs the result to the tracking server.

Do you guys think I could use this to fix the problems I seem to have when trying to stream or download music from Xbox Music? I get a lot of errors, or this song can't be played on your device and some times the app crashes. I have had this problem since I switch from my Windows Phone 7 device to my Nokia Lumia 920, and I am on my 4th 920. I think for some reason the Music store is getting botched certificates or something.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] grilledcheesesandwich:
Kind of on the same subject. anyways i extracted around 140 Certificated from a HTC 8x Ruu. then installed them to my pc. Which is windows 7. The cool part was i was able to install windows phone sdk 8 and 8.1 with emulators and visual studio 2013. which i though all of these were not possible to run on windows 7. all because of certificates from a rom.

A while ago my Magician stopped notifying me of new messages. Actually, they do show up on the Today screen, but I never the the sound notification. It is definitely enabled in the Sounds & Notifications control panel, and it works when I press the play button there.

It is quite annoying to always miss text messages!

Anyone got a clue how to fix this?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Josha:
Did you used Sprite backup for restoring your messages? I had the same problem. It's quite annoying, but with a Hard Reset the problem is solved. So my advice is that you should not use Sprite (if you did) :)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] R. Knops:
If you use pocket zen phone ... are the sounds also configured in there. The i-mate uses the pocket zen phone profiles, which overrule the standard windows sounds and notifications.

I had the problem not keeping a vibrate alert when receiving a text message.

But I haven't got any idea how the notifications can disappear. Maybe it somewhere caused by some software, hope for you it's the mentioned Sprite Backup.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] LeSkip:
No I haven't used Sprite Backup or Pocket Zen Phone. One day it just stopped working. Quite annoying!

PLEASE make sure to thank the developer for the dedication to his ROM

​

Please do not clutter the Development thread with non development-related chatter​
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuzibri:
FAQ​

Q Why a special Q&T Thread for a specific ROM??

A The bigger a ROM development thread gets, the greater the chance that posts are being placed in this thread that are not related to the ROM development itself, e.g. problems with flashing, installation, bugs, things not working etc. However this is understandable, it's not according to the guidelines of XDA for Development sections. Therefore the main goals of the ROM specific Q&T threads is to avoid this cluttering of the original develpment thread with these OT posts by redirecting the posters to the ROM specific Q&T thread and also to relieve the developer from answering these post, so he can dedicate his time to developing.

Q How to move my post to the Q&A/T thread?

A Copy the text of your post in the dev's thread, got to the Q&A/T thread and paste it there. After having done that, go back to the dev's thread, edit your post and change the text into: moved to Q&A/T thread, preferably accompanied with a link to this thread.

Q When I'm asked to move my post to the Q#A/T thread, do I have to do that?

A When you're asked to move your post, there will always be given an explanation by the OP of the Q&A/T, e.g. your post is not development related (f.i. SD card problems, etc), so please be so kind to move your post. If you want to help the dev to keep his original thread as clean as possible from OT posts, then the answer is, of course, YES. Although we cannot force you to move your post, it's highly recommended to do so

Q Where can I download this ROM and How do I install?

A You can find the link to download and installation instructions HERE. Pay close attention to this post, everything required for a successful flash is listed right here. If you fail to follow the instructions or meet the requirements for installation, you could run into some problems.

Q What are the known issues with these ROM's?

A sEE POST #1: "READ THIS !!!"

Q How’s battery life?

A I see this question asked repeatedly across all ROMS. Honestly there is no way to give you an answer based on a ROM. There are too many variables in question and results vary from user to user and device to device. Battery life is going to depend on age and condition of your battery, your use habits with your device, installed apps, tweaks, settings, etc...

Q How do I...

A Ask your questions and report your issues in this thread. You will receive a response and hopefully get you back up and running this ROM to it's fullest
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuzibri:
Explaining the purpose of our Q&A/T threads for specific ROM's to posters.

"Hi dear followers of this ROM,

in this post I will explain the goal of this specific thread created for this ROM with the permission of the Developer of this specific ROM.

This is a statement made in the Q&A/T template thread:

"While our forum has slowly been morphing, the one area we would like to keep original is Development

The goal is to alleviate the OT banter that occurs within any rom. While the XDA forum continues to grow, we need to help users work within the guidelines created by XDA. Over the last couple of years the average rom being created, has become a free for all chat thread. There tends to be much infighting and mod/developer cleaning.

The idea of this template is to create a Questions and Answers for each rom. This is in no way asking for Development to be moved here, rather any and all conversation that is non Development related to your conjoined Q&A."

This means that non-development related posts, should be posted - with the permission of the Dev - in this thread. What are the most common Off Topic posts, that should be posted in this Q&A/T thread?

1. Battery life related posts

2. Will this app work with this ROM

3. SD Card related problems

4. How do I dowmload and install this ROM

5. Questions about ETA, etc

Hope to have given you enough information,

kindest regards, Kuzibri

I've enjoyed my Galaxy Nexus. It is starting to show its age, but it still has great support, which is key to keeping the phone relevant. I wouldn't mind going with the next Nexus, if it has USB OTG support built in. That's the only reason I won't get the Nexus 4.

Upgraded from the Nexus S to the GN last year. Took me a while to get used to the larger screen (as compared to NS) but overall I love the GN. Custom Kernel and ROMS are fantastic. Great support from this community.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chaosclarity:
I got the S4 (w/ CM10.1), coming from a galnex - couldn't be happier. If you hold the devices side-by-side the screen on the S4 simply blows the galnex out of the water hands down - I didn't know what I was missing until I saw it in person.

Oh, and 2gb of ram - apps never lag and can stay in memory as long as they please. There's no reason to fiddle with custom kernels and roms because quite frankly it's fast as **** with stock CM10.1 and the included kernel.

Do yourself a favor, and upgrade to something better than a galnex. Good phone in it's day but it's starting to feel lackluster compared to newer devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
I would love the AOSP S4 but I use Verizon (work buys and pays my phone bill). Unfortunately I fear that the GNex might be the last CDMA device. Overall the GNex has been the best phone I've ever owned. It is super reliable. Everything just works. I've only had to pop the battery like 2-3 times since it was released. I'm on AOKP now and with the transparency settings and other basic nav/status bar tweaks, it looks simply beautiful. Hopefully the Nexus 5 hits Verizon again, but until then, I am in no rush for another.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qwas7899:
Congrats. Real happy for you Chaos. And thx.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cheyne1:
I'm with sprint and not have seen anything that will replace this phone. Sure I could get a one or an s4 and turn it into a "Google edition" but I really like a phone that was built specifically for stock. Having this has gotten me used to not having capacitive or physical keys, and I like it to be like that. That said stock "odexed" 4.1 and Franco's kernel has performance tits up.:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IKnowIRock!:
Hmm i am thinking about buying a GNex...my other option is Xperia SP :)

Im giving more priority to GNex because of obvious reasons...

But one thing which holds me back is, is it future-proof anymore?? :(

Dont wanna go for LG N4 since the price is bit high and some other reasons such as camera quality, glass on back (wont suit me ;) ) and such...

So any opinions?? :)

im positive that gnex will get upto Key lime pie

not sure beyond that though
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lars1216:
It'll go on after KLP, but not sure if it's with official updates, but that's what custom ROMs are for.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] isajoo:
I thought Key Lime Pie was suppose to be for devices with lower specs?

Eg.

512mb RAM

I'd love to say there's nothing I'd like to ever change on GN running 4.1.2, but seeing how android has changed/improved in the last couple of years, it'll be very exciting to see what new ideas count out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Seraz007:

I never loved any phone more them my og inc till now, i traded my s3 for a 32 gb verizon gnex and i'm in love with it. All the phones i've had in the past 3 years were (in this order) droid incredible, droid bionic, droid incredible 2, galaxy s3, and now my galaxy nexus and i can actually say this fells like an actual upgrade from my incredible :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fux0r99:
I also love my gnex, had it since January 2012, only thing I don't like anymore is the ugly grey back of it, never liked the design of the back of gnex, from front it looks sexy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Justinhopaolo:
get a sexy back cover !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Justinhopaolo:
on another note..

anyone liking the 4.3 rom?

to be honest, i cant leave the stability of 4.1.2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] isajoo:
I've had a black bumper/case/cover since day 1, so the grey back never bothered me.

Also sticking with 4.1.2... for now.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
32gb storage, only nexus on Verizon, great support

I'll stick with my GNex and hope that a worthy upgrade comes around by my June upgrade c: GNex ftw
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Prasad:
I share your sentiment. HTC One has truly been the most alluring phone for me in a LONG time! However since this phone, especially now with the Android 4.3 update that works upto spec for me, I see no practical reason whatsoever to replace it. I'd rather wait for the next such HTC One to arrive or a worthy refresh of the same ;)

Sent from the inner sanctum of my mind.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] likebutta:
Yup, love my GNex. As with some others here, the HTC One is the only phone that has been tempting me but I can wait till HTC releases their next one or if the next Nexus phone is something amazing.

Only two issues I've had with the GNex:

1) Lack of SD storage. The value provider I am with does not have a tremendous amount of coverage but unlimited everything (including calling to the US) for $40 is a bargain. I tried a OTG adapter to add a USB drive but it chugs power like no tomorrow. Music on the phone I can play for 6+ hours before the battery gives out. With OTG/USB drive, I am lucky to push past 2 hours of music use.

2) My screen. It still is bearable but mine now has horizontal lines, almost like a gradient but not. It's out of warranty for awhile now so there is nothing I can really do.

But other than that, it's been superb. Fast enough for my needs, software updates have been frequent and general app support always seems to be there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Beauenheim:
I love my Gnex, it's a little disappointing that the Toroplus doesn't have any binaries out for 4.3 so we're left buildless :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] trssho91:
I still love my gnex too, but its now my backup and testing phone. I have a s3 that I loaded with cm10.1 and then enabled the navbar/on screen buttons and disabled the hardware keys and their lights... I essentially made it what the next nexus should have been and I'm quite happy with it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] isajoo:
You really like the on screen buttons?

I prefer to use PIE in full/extended screen mode and enjoy the full advantage of the beautiful 4.65" AMOLED screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tokuzumi:
I like the implementation of them I can make on AOKP. 24 px tall (stock is 48 px), and make the nav and status bar transparent. It gives the appearance of using the full screen, when on the home screens.

I personally don't like PIE. It's well designed, but didn't work the way I wish it would. Wasn't as responsive as I would want it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] isajoo:
I do love running in full tablet mode with custom PX.

Not sure which version of PIE you've tried, the ones built into ROM's I never liked, but this is the one I'm using and it's very responsive.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jun.ace.piecontrolpro
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tokuzumi:
I'm not sure if the one in the play store does this, but I remember in the ROMs into which it was cooked, both the nav and the status bar would disappear. There was no way to hide the nav bar, and keep the status bar. I remember that being the main show stopper for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jgqb16:
love the customizability of the nexus!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] isajoo:
Well in tablet mode I could have both the status/navi bar and PIE running, but don't see the need.

Also prefer full screen browsing and in landscape.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itslels:
Coming from a droid pro to a OG dinc, this phone is amazing. I have loved every minute of it. However, if the Motorola x phone is announced today to be off contract and around 250-300$, then it'll be time to sell my gnex and move over to Motorola x!

Well looks like my gnex will stick around until the nexus 5 is announced. Motorola x phone....what a disappointment...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] the(real)PRODIGY:
Ok,I just registered here and it was mainly so I could rave on my love or the Galaxy Nexus.

I got it couple of months ago.

I adore the design. It is sleek, dark and clean. No logos up front, no buttons, just a mysterious black figure.

I like the glass curve and the texture on the back.

The size is on the border of manageable with one hand.

Other than that... I put it CM11 (4.4.2). It was pretty good but truth is that the best version for this baby is the stock 4.3.

It is pretty damn fast with 4.3. No complains here.

I love that I have access to the battery and I always carry a second one in my wallet. So no worries here (I have the N9 and battery was always a problem. Now I two batteries with me and I simply do not fear anymore!

A good word has to be said on the GN's music capabilites. IT IS STUNNING!

I have changed A LOT of smartphones and I got to state that the GN is the second best mp3 player (in terms of loudness, cuality, clarity and bass) I have ever had.

Second only to the king...---> the Nokia N91.

Pair it with a coule of great Senheissers and there you have it. A music lovers wet dream.

This baby is LOUD.

Music quality is a very improtant factor for me. I cannot live wihtout music.

Another great aspect of the GN is the call quality! Very loud and clear!

And of course the very very low SAR.

I don't care much about Samsung. They always make ugly phones. Thank God that this is a Google design.

And the screen... Even for 2014's standards, the GN screen is perfect. 4.65 with 720p is perfect.

I don't like the N4 much because the lcd screen is inferior, plus you can't remove the battery and the glass back (though beautiful) is prone to damage.

I really really like thi device!

I am sure I am forgeting some things. Maybe I'll add them later on.

Cheers GN owners!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eksasol:
I have a Moto X, but saw a GNex for $110, decided to get it to use as a backup line or probably give away to a family member. This is like the 5th time I'm buying this phone. I think it's better to not sell it this time. I wish there would be MultiRom for this phone though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheMan0790:
Speaking from using the cm11 nightlies, I see no major bugs. Some notification bar lag at times, but that is being reported across a number of different ROMs. A custom kernel might help in giving you better battery life.
