[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pablomoca:
So I've been really thinking of leaving Verizon and my grandfathered unlimited data to switch to T-Mobile and the Nexus 5. I am extremely reluctant to leave the grandfathered plan because I know I won't be able to get it back once I leave. I live in Los Angeles and T-Mobile has decent LTE coverage here. Thought it's still very sparse compared to Verizon. I would be switching over a total of 4 lines, 2 of witch have unlimited data. On Verizon I use about 15gb - 20gb of data (mostly tethering).

The main reason for me wanting to leave is cost savings and available devices. I'm tired of waiting on Verizon for updates to the limited amount of phones they do offer. It seems unless you have an iPhone you're at the mercy of Verizon (even the Galaxy Nexus couldn't resolve this).

I'm looking for anyone who has made the switch and how it's been going? Is it worth it? Any regrets?

I am currently testing a Nexus 5 on T-Mobile and love the phone! The service is decent also. I have a Moto X Dev Edition on Verizon which is no slouch either, but the guaranteed updates on the Nexus 5 are very appealing to me.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] troy13x:
do it. i had verizon. but just the bare minimum. 2 gb of data. 450 minutes and unlimited texts. i was paying 90 a month and thats with a 22% discount. with tmobile im at 85 a month with unlimited texts and minutes. 2.5 gb of data with gets throttled down to 3g when i go over it

and thats not even counting my 15% discount i get from my job. verizon has good coverage but the money was just too much. and i didnt even have a crazy plan. since you tether you should be good
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottjb:
Sounds as if you have the answer. You're testing a T-mobile line and can do a direct comparison. I moved from a Verizon unlimited plan to the T-Mobile unlimited everything plan and have been happy with it. LTE coverage has been good where I live. The only difference I've seen so far is T-mobile generally has EDGE or GPRS when traveling highways outside of populated areas where Verizon might have LTE on the highways.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markdapimp:
It will be gone soon just hold on, atleast its better than Sprint
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fallingd0wn:
I did the same. I never had any complaints about Verizon service and loved the unlimited data but even with a 25% discount it was still expensive. I was also tired of their strict device polices. I always had to make sure the next phone I got was hackable before purchasing just so I could run a current version of android. The fact that I'd also have to pay full price for each new phone just to keep unlimited sealed the deal. If I'm going to pay full then it'll be for the device I really want. Not the limited, locked down devices they offer. I've been using TMO unlimited. In my area, it's fine for the most part. I have good coverage in the places I spend the most time and the data speeds are good. The only time I miss Verizon is on the rare occasion that I'm traveling or in rural areas. In those cases I may be stuck on 2G or no signal at all. Overall, it was worth the switch.

We made the switch last month from big V to T-Mobile and are glad we did. Better service faster speeds and lower price, plus the ability to use a pure Google phone without any carrier bs. it was pure win for my wife and I.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pablomoca:
I guess the thing that worries me is the coverage. I've been carrying around both phones for a week now and I've been doing speed tests almost everywhere I go. The result is Verizon consistently has higher speeds (for me pegging out at about 57mbs). Now I don't know if that really translates into Verizon being "better". Do I really need all of that speed if all I'm doing is streaming netflix or youtube and tethering? Or is that speed only relevant if I'm downloading things?

Thank you all for the input you've given so far.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darklordofthesith:
I made the same switch yesterday and couldn't be happier. Bought two nexus and am glad I did. Best part is we bought them flat out. Just have to pay 80 and taxes and fees. service is excellent and call quality is superb. I don't mind staying with T-Mobile for a little bit but plan on switching to Aio because it's cheaper and more data per month.

HI,

I am already on rooted 14.2.A.1.136 but i keep on getting this notification about a new update 14.2.A.1.136 of size 50.4 MB. I tried downloading it numerous time when it reaches 100% i get an error couldn't be downloaded. Its been going on and on since the past 3 days.

Have you guys faced this issue ? Is it a minor update ?

I have already unrooted, locked and installed the stock kernel still the issue persists.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jnocomski:
Same here. But I didn't install it. Maybe i'll just wait for the ftf or something.

A few of us have had the 11mb update (location/ region settings)

and I've heard about a few having the 50mb (or about that) update. I'm not sure what that was about. Perhaps another region update as only a few people are getting it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] joegill97:
You can't update using OTA, or any sony update tools after unlocking the bootloader.

Yes. A typo in the op I meant I tried unrooting and relocking and everything but just cant install the update.

Hi Unknownthing

Thanks for your works.i have four questions,please answer:

1-has your rom"theme chooser"?

2-has your rom"cpu overclocking"?

3-has your rom"notificating setting",to add notification toggles.

I want pura android like Aosp roms,but this rom's options is very low however is stablest.

4-all roms that i have used had"linux version:2.6.x",but your rom's linux version is 3.1.x.what is diference between them?

Thanks a lot
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] TheUnknownThing:
Well, in Cyanogenmod roms, they have theme chooser (not aosp)

Since this Rom is AOSP (nexus like experience) you cannot change the toggles. You also can nearly move any app to sd.

You can overclock the cpu as much as you like (998mhz is the max)

Before you download, I can tell you that it runs much better than Cm10.1+
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] Rhievaldo:
hmmm,, and are you sure this 3.x kernel sources ????? i think ace cant get that.. :confused:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] TheUnknownThing:
You are right, generally ARMv7 compatible processors and newer chipsets use 3.x. Sorry I made that mistake.. Just changed it!

Is there any app to work instead notification toggles?to turn on or off wiifi,gps,mobile data,sound and...?

Thank you.i am waiting for your rom is uploaded.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] TheUnknownThing:

How to enable EXT4?

How can i enable ext4 partition and swap ? i don't want tot use link2sd. i need a native solution something like PSN Memory Mod but it is not working in this rom.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] brijeshep:
At last the Download Finished ! :laugh:

Here's my Screens:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] userprince:
Rom is Awesome! ::BUT::

The rom is very fast and stable. i never had such fast experience on Android 4.2 on ACE but there is one big limitation in rom cannot install more than 2 apps as internal storage is low. I know about link2sd but then it is a app it will run at background consume memory(RAM) and sometimes it give errors. i see many rom for our device which mount ext4 as data while boot. if the same can be implemented on this rom. This rom can become beast for our device.

Hopefully you will read this ( [MENTION=5583515]TheUnknownThing[/MENTION] ) and try to implement it :laugh:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] TheUnknownThing:
I have read it, and will implement it! Cheers!

Also, how is battery life with this ROM?

Thank you!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] TheUnknownThing:
You can "try" and use a script but it may not work as it is AOSP. But you can use a EXT partition (ext3+ is reccomended) Also battery life is great! With light-medium usage, you can get through the day easily!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] aurisltu:
Omg. I so waiting for stable

how to use EXT partition? what apps or scripts do u recommend? I need more space for my apps as pure AOSP remain little space for data

Lack of internal memory was my first problem i posted in guide partition and link2sd thread in general section. Can you help me?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] TheUnknownThing:
Well if you need help with Increasing internal memory, then just do this:

1. You need to format you SD card FAT32

2. Divide the SD partition into 2. One being your media/data and the other as SD-EXT.

3. Before you format the second partition, make sure it has atleast 500mb and is EXT3+ (Linux uses those file systems) (800mb is reccomended)

4. You should now only see 1 partition in Windows and if you are on Linux/Mac you should see two. DO NOT TOUCH THE SD EXT!

5. Put the SD card in the phone now.. Then visit the Play Store and download Mounts2SD (Litterally uses the EXT partiton as internal storage)

6. After install, open the app and install the mount script (in app)

7. Reboot

8. Head back into the app and swipe to the second menu.. Then tick Data, Cache (should be already selected), Dalvik Cache and applications!

9. Now restart (again :) ) (boot up may take a bit longer if you have a Class 4 or lower SD card.)

10. Enjoy!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] spondbob:
I do the same thing as yours, but I have to install the init.d injector and select the first choice in aroma installer because the app say my external didn't mounted, after I install it it's mounted. And if I thick Dalvik Cache, the phone really slow. My sdcard is class 10 and there's no problem if I use other rom and move the dalvik cache. Any suggestion about the lag?

anoter notes:

1. there is no Cache checkbox in mounts2sd, the one already selected is Applications

2. while it's booting, sometimes bootlop. another time the device restart it's self. it's really bothering. this restart/bootlop happen after I've installed init.d injector
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] TheUnknownThing:
Well.. Our phones are very slow for 2014.. But if you still want to increase internal storage, I suggest you use gingerbread roms. They work with SD-ext and it will be fast.. Give them a shot!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] :
Hey, first of all, you did a great job on this rom. I have one question. How much ram does it consume while idle without any unnecessary background services on? I have tried other roms and so far the lowest i can get it about 100MB. Thanks so much :) Keep up the good work
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] TheUnknownThing:
Not much. On idle it uses just as much as cm7.2 which is good. So if you are a person who doesn't play too much games, just a casual browse or two, it will be fine. This is actually a good rom for saving power.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] :
Great job,

What are the differences between this and Maclaw's version? Maybe we can try to build kitkat AOSP for the Ace because CM11 is already stable enough :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] TheUnknownThing:
Well, I've removed some applications that generally take up space at first installation. Also there are some scripts added that Maclaw didn't have, such as Performances X, touch improvement tweaks, different governors and list goes on! I would personally recommenced this rom to anyone! Also Maclaw has unfortunately abandoned development for the Galaxy Ace and Gio. Hope this answers your question. :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] :
Ahh yeah I understand!!! I really want to help if you want some help :p, I'm also modding rom's a lot! I could also rebuilt this AOSP rom with Linaro Toolchain, the rom will be faster then :D

Keep up the good job, if I can help you, PM me!!!

I am using this ROM for 2 days, only bug's i found are on the:

Storage Settings , when opened , after 2 or 3 second it closes.

and on camera when creating panorama, if you press volume up or down, some flickering is created in front of the picture.

I installed Link2SD and it work's great.

So far no lag detected, my opinion this ROM is better than CM7.2 and stock, it is responsible and fast.

I am using SGA for almost 2 years, and i tried lot's of ROM'S , and after some time using , they get laggy and become unstable.

Only thing i don't understand is why Play store say's that Facebook Messenger is not compatible with this version?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] TheUnknownThing:

Sorry if this question or something similar has already been asked, but I searched the 10.1 2014 boards, as well as these boards, and did not find the answer to my question.

Basically, I am curious to know if anyone knows if it is possible to install firmware designed for the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition on the original (2012). I am really starting to get tired waiting around for the 4.3 or 4.4 update (or even 4.2!), which at this point I really don't think is coming, and since the 2014 Edition ships with 4.3, I thought flashing 2014 Edition 4.3 firmware would potentially be a way to finally get 4.3 on my device!

If anyone knows if this is possible, please let me know! I don't want to risk just trying it out to see if it works for fear of bricking my device.
