[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itasoulas:
Even though Galaxy Nexus is no more officialy supported by Google and stuck at Android 4.3, KitKat Roms emerged quickly and evolve rapidly - thanks to our crazy devs!!! :victory: So how you all handling this? Still at 4.3... already jumped to a 4.4 rom?

I know it took a long way for 4.3 roms to reach that point where everything works near perfect and I think that Cataclysm or SlimBean are such examples. So, some will prefer the comfort of this instead of jumping into the unknown and start dealing with bugs and the trial and error procedure???

As I write this Android 4.4.2 is rolling to newer Nexus devices, my new Nexus 7 already running this and something tells me, since none of the factory images for 4.4.1 and 4.4.2 are officialy on google's page, that another update maybe coming soon. Since our phone is not officialy supported, devs will strugle merging new code to their sources and adapting it for gnex. How do you see this evolving?

To end this, it's been 2 years after the release of GNEX and our forum still is in the top 5 list. Quite impressive if you ask me. Tell that to Google... Galaxy Nexus is a legendary phone even though it's not the sharpest out there. And I am sure its "endurance" over time, will make it even more legendary!

PS: Working on a cool Zooper Skin. Will let u know when it's out!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kaijura:
It will continue, but the gnex population will gradually move on. The new incomers will not likely join at the rate the existing users leave to upgrade to a new device.

If it's any indication, Nexus One and Nexus S development are still continuing and they are older than the Galaxy Nexus. At some point when newer android versions get too resource intensive (KK tried to improve the memory management) then we will start seeing users preferring to stick with an older version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] capt.ron:
I will continue with my Galaxy nexus and I'm still very happy with it especially so because of the talented developers here at XDA. I'm currently using the 4.4 KK rom : [ROM] [UNOFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 11 for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus with gapps 20131207. This ROM is now my daily driver and I won't be going back to 4.3 :good:

Thanks for this post, I'll subscribe!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itasoulas:
myself, I've been thinking of sticking with Cataclysm for a while. But can I ask those who already use a 4.4 rom if they noticed any signifcant improvement on battery life or multitasking?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kubes069:
wrong thread. sorry
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
I'm not one to sit by idly and wait for confirmation of a stable new Android version. When 4.4 was released I flashed it right away. Whats the fun in not "jumping into the unknown"?

I dont think small updates are that hard for developers to merge into our current builds. We are already on 4.4.1 and I'm sure that 4.4.2 will be on our devices soon as well.

KitKat has been running great on my device. I dont know of any issues we have now that havent been fixed yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alpha-niner64:
Well...my GPS could be better. I'm seeing at best 30ft accuracy with about 8 satellites locked in with pretty low SNR values.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Godra:
Im still on 4.3, Slimbean. Waiting for Slimkat to evolve just a litle bit more :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
I haven't had any issues with GPS. It pinpoints pretty fast for me.

And by the way, cyanogenmod just updated us to 4.4.2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Vekhez:
I will be continuing to use my Galaxy Nexus until the 'Nexus 6', it can totally hold up to most of the competition. Currently using the last 4.4.1 Galaxy Nexus Maguro CM11 ROM with ASKP/Franco/Mpokang/Fancy/Stock kernel.
[G2 Themes and Apps] ATHM50:
Edit:

I just used G2 Xposed and set my nav bar to 50% transparency. Done and done. If you have any questions, just ask.

--

I've read a transparent is possible with certain settings but I've also read that it is not possible. I'm half way there but I need the help of others.

Right now, I do have a transparent navigation bar on top of Nova Launcher. My only issue is the gradient behind the dock items and I'm not sure how to get rid of it. Anyone else run into this issue?

My Device:

VS980 - Malladus 4.2.2 - Nova Launcher - Xposed Framework w/ G2 Xposed

[G2 Themes and Apps] ozzyager:
You'll just need to uncheck the 'show shadow' option under the desktop settings and you'll be good to go.
[G2 Themes and Apps] Jimi Mack:
It has been a while since I last used Nova and the suggestion above sounds good but in case it does not solve the issue I would look at the Dock options in Nova and see is there is a transparency option there. By the way your screen looks it seems to be shaded from Nova on the Dock.
[G2 Themes and Apps] ATHM50:
Man…I feel foolish. Thank you for pointing out the brutally simple solution.
[G2 Themes and Apps] ozzyager:
Lol no problem. Right after doing some xposed stuff I can understand not realizing it was a separate issue.
[G2 Themes and Apps] s0ul4nge1:
Nice idea, i will reinstall nova... i used before but i forget to reinstall it
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pbsepn:
Please can I have some help with this problem, I have unlocked my bootloader with htcdev.com and am now trying to flash recovery. Whenever I do the command to flash the recovery it tells me it is trying to sent it to the phone but never gets past this point, on my phone it freezes with an unfilled loading bar appearing in the top right of the screen. To get out of this I have to hard reset, I have tried fastboot clear cache to fix this but that has not worked. I have had a look for another question similar and found one with no working response, Thanks in advance!

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danvid113:
Hello. I have disassembled my nexus 7, and the screen is not fixable. So I thought I would reuse it as a portable light. I have removed the digitizer and the LCD part, so I only have the LED backlight. What I want to do is to attach it to an old phone's battery.

Can anyone give me an instruction how to make it happen? The LED is the older wifi-only model's factory screen (HYDIS HV070WX2-1E0), and the battery is an older, but standard 3.7V (V30145-K1310-X250). How can I attach the batter to the led to make it work? A picture would be highly appreciated.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tonesofheresy:
Hello,

I looked at other threads regarding the EFS partition but none that really answer my question. I hope it's not a stupid question...

So basically, I was trying out a new ROM and made a backup using TWRP. I inadvertently backed up the data partition separately, but I figured that didn't matter. I then backed up all other partitions (EFS and Modem included) in a separate file. I didn't like the new ROM I tried so I went to restore my backups. When restoring the "everything sans data" backup, I kept getting an md5 error, even though I didn't create an md5 upon backup nor did I ask it to look for an md5 on restoration. I decided to try and restore everything except the EFS, and it worked. Phone is up and running and it doesn't seem like there are any issues. Can someone please explain this to me? I'm assuming the existing EFS partition was never changed, so restoring everything but the EFS should still result in a complete system, but can anyone suggest a reason why it failed when trying to restore EFS with everything else? Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Coug76:
Never heard of it. If it is based on a 7105 based phone (I317 for instance) you could try it on the T889 if you don't also flash the modem.

Hastily spouted for your befuddlement

Yes it works nicely in our phone if you use the att version

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] JasoX:
I concur. The UC browser is brilliant and there is that magic button which makes it even faster.

However, i am currently testing Boat browser. It is not as fast as UC mini, but it has loads of addons.

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] the X Machine:
no it dosn't firefox is smooth on my y duos stock no scripts and an other reason for geting firefox is that its full of addons and support and a decent download speed and it uses its own internet script like the internet bug on my xdous the only browser that worked is firefox and if it was slow which can never happen you can flash a oc kernel install a script and you will be ok :(

sorry if i was mean to you you are a great developer/porter ;)

Won't boot, can get into recovery and bootloader.. Fastboot over USB sees it, but adb does not..

Dummy here didn't backup or leave a copy of old ROM on for reversing..

If I can adb working, I'll just flash back..

Any suggestions? Can't seem to find what causes the status 7 error and failure during flashing.. Help!

Same issue here. But I had an old cm10 package, so I just flashed back.

I guess that you need your CWM updated.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtzz:
hi,

I just got the N9005 version, came with MJ3. It autoupdated via OTA to MJ7.

I used CF-Root to root it so KNOX warranty is already void (0x1).

When I'm trying to install TitaniumBackup from Play Store it downloads it, tries to install and reboots the device. Installation is not complete so when I try to install again - same thing happens.

Is there any solution to that?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xclub_101:
Have you checked that you are indeed rooted and SuperSU (or equivalent) is working and is updated?

You can also check (Settings/Security) if security level is set to Normal rather than High.

Hi all, i have a problem, cannot use many bluetooth functions because my magician does not have btconnmanagerce.exe nor any bt dlls in \windows directory...

I tried to copy al bt*.* files from other pda to mine but it still gives me an error saying some dll is missing, i suppose this is because i don't have any registry entries for that new dll's or some of the necessary files...

Can anyone tell me how can I install this bt wizard? or tell me where to download the bt manager and utilities .cab installer from any extended rom? or any clues of how to install or transfer it from somewhere?

Thank you in advance...

[Asus Transformer TF700] GPWILL:
So finally took the plunge and flashed Cromi-X 5,2,2. Current set up is bootloader 10.8, TWRP 2.5.0 unlocked and rooted. I was running fine for a couple of days and decided to try cromi control to turn of a couple of notifications.I didnt reboot from cromi control as I read there was a bug. I powered off using the power button and when powering back on I was stuck on boot animation. Options I chose on the original flash was _thatv4 10.8 with defaults. No ET / OV / OC / No tweaks. So i decided to dirty flash 5.2.2 again without formating data I got to upgrading apps and when it rebooted, back stuck on animation. I am going to try flashing my original stock asus nandroid.prior to 5.2.2 just to get it working for the evening.

Doing a search of the thread now... See this has been covered on 5.2.1. I may have to wipe / format data IDK

Any suggestions?

Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] GPWILL:
Update

Restored my nandroid and back up and running.. Guess I have some reading to do.

Would updating to 8.10 and latest TWRP help any? Maybe try that and use _thatv7 next go around.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
It is always good to have the latest bootloader and TWRP. :) What is your firmware or bootloader now? What do you want to achieve or usage on your device? _that v7 on Cromi X is a nice combo with speed and stability...:)
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Glad you got it working again. It's strange - what happened is typical for rebooting from the Cromi app, but you didn't.....

Did you do a factory wipe in TWRP before installing CROMi-X?

Also, it certainly wouldn't hurt to update your recovery. Just flash the bootloader/TWRP package in the CROMi-X OP and reboot to system.
[Asus Transformer TF700] GPWILL:
My current working is 10.6.1.14.8 from ASUS and TWRP 2.5.0. I did a factory wipe in TWRP before flashing Cromi 5.2.2. Everything went smooth. I let google restore my apps when running thru the setup wizard. A little painful but only took 30 minor so. I didnt restore any apps or data from my TB. So I let it run for a couple of days with no issues. I ran into trouble with the chromi control. Wanted to get rid of that annoying external card notification. Powered off using the power button and boom. Things went south. I am not a overclock / tweak poweruser. Just wanted a little tweak since it looks like ASUS is not going to update anymore. My tab is a little over a year old and my only complaints have been browser lag and the painful lag of using the tablet when apps updates. My intent is to get 5.2.2. Run thru set up / installer a couple of times so I could get use the installer and then at some point venture into rom2sd or data2sd. Next go around I will get 5.2.2 working and nandroid that. I had tried B2R and it works ok. But with 5.2.2 it seems to give the tab a big 'push'. The browser worked way faster. I tried both stock and Chrome with 5.2.2 and was nice and smooth..

Thanks for the responses. If you think of anything else I appreciate it. Been on this forum for awhile and you guys are great!
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
With your current firmware, 10.6.1.14.8, you should have the latest bootloader but you still need to update your TWRP to a later version, 2.6.1.0 or 2.6.3.0.. You need to pick one. I am still using 2.6.1.0 and it works fine at the moment and no plan to update to 2.6.3.0. I am very sure that you know how to update your custom recovery, TWRP,

If I am not mistaken, you have the old backup but not the 5.2.2 backup before it crashed...:( It is always a good idea to backup your good working current setup so you can go back or restore if something is going wrong..:) One more thing about backup, it would be nice if you can keep your backup and personal stuff on your External SD, Not the internal SD...;)

Rom and kernel selections: Cromi v5.2.2 is the latest and the fastest in my opinion so it is your first choice unless you something else in mind..:) You only have a few selections on kernel and they are all good and serve with a different purposes. sbdags is very closed to stock with a minimal modifications. _that v7 is the latest and more modifications comparing to sbdags. However, it is faster and more stable or most stable of all according to testers and users...:) Hund's kernel is the fastest of all with even more modifications and options for users to change settings. Testers and users report back with a little less stable comparing to _that but I don't have a single problem with this kernel...:) However, it is running a little warmer than sbdags and _that because it is running with higher frequency...Max kernel is another option but it seems like there is no supports at the moment. No one knows where he is, haha... :) Hopefully, we can hear back from him again...:D

Installation: Totally clean installing because you are already having issue...;)

1. Backup anything that you want to save including your personal data and files

2. Copy cromi and kernel that you want to install to your External SD because you want to format your data partition

3. Format your data partition and I mean Format, not wipe.

4. Wipe everything on your device including your system but not your external SD..

5. Install cromi and kernel of your choices

6. Reboot and let it sits for a few minutes, then you can do your setup from the setup wizard

7. Go back to your TWRP and do a nandroid backup to your External SD, just in case so you restore it

8. Install your apps or whatever you want from the google store, not from your TB so you can have a good and stable backup

9. After you are done with all the apps and games installation, you may want to do another backup in the TWRP

10. Now you can do whatever you want from this point and if you have more settings to do, you may want to do another backup as a Final backup and a good working one...:) You can delete the other backup from the previous if you have the final and working backup. You just need one good working backup..That is it..

You can always go back to TWRP to restore just your data or just a system or a whole backup. Those are the options that you can restore and good luck...:fingers-crossed:
[Asus Transformer TF700] GPWILL:
Been awhile since I played with fastboot. Can I just flash the bootloader and twrp zip from the 5.2.2 Cromi thread and be ok? I know to flash this first and reboot into rom before flashing 5.2.2 again. Otherwise I will get fastboot going again.

"10.6.1.14.10 US Bootloader and TWRP 2.6.1.0 DOWNLOAD 1" This is in scenario 2 which doesnt really apply because I dont have a custom rom installed yet at this point.

I am saving these notes for future reference. Thanks for the time in writing these up.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
I think that it would fine since you are running TWRP 2.5. Please be careful when you install custom recovery and bootloader. If you make a mistake, it could brick your device, just my two cents.. Please ask a lot of questions to be sure...:)

Note: From your TWRP 2.5, install 10.6.1.14.10 first and reboot so the blob can update your bootloader. When it boots into the system, then you need to reboot it back into your TWRP 2.5 and install the TWRP 2.6.1.0. When it is done, then you need to shut it down and use your power button and volume down to boot back into your new TWRP...Good luck..:fingers-crossed:

Always check your download "MD5 Sum" to verify that you have a good download....:)
[Asus Transformer TF700] GPWILL:
You have my attention now and I will take your offer to ask questions. :) So if I understand correctly the bootloader and twrp zip from above will allow to flash them individually? In twrp point to the zip and it gives you options to flash the bootloader without twrp? I would do this:

1. boot into twrp and choose install.

2. choose zip from above

3. choose bootloader only?

4. reboot into rom. let it sit for a few.

5 reboot into twrp

6 choose new twrp?

7 reboot into rom.

Just trying to be clear so no brick...:)

I would upgrade in goomanager. Thats how I got twrp to begin with. But I have read it doesnt work anymore?
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
I never use the method from cromi thread but I trust sbdags as a great developer and so many users used this method without a problem...:)

If you are still running stock firmware version 10.6.1.14.8, then you still can use goomanager to update your TWRP...;) If you prefer it that way, then goo still works for you...If you are on stock version 10.6.1.14.8, you are already on the latest bootloader unless you want the latest stock firmware V14.10 which you will update it with Cromi any way...:)

1. Use goo to update the correct TWRP, 2.6.3.0 or 2.6.1.0

2. Boot into your new TWRP and install the Cromi and follow the instructions that I wrote earlier

Good luck..:fingers-crossed:
