So even though the "official" support for the Evo 3D isn't real for CM9, what does the current ICS scene look like for the phone? XDA is a pain to navigate, but last I remember the camera did not work on any rom, with no signs of it being fixed anytime soon. Is this still the case? I've been using a Gingerbread MIUI build for months without issues, but I really want to try ICS. I use the camera daily though, so it needs to work before I make the switch.

You'll find it (I think, I don't have a CM device at the moment) in /etc. Instructions for use are located in the file, but basically you list every /system file you'd like to remain intact after a CM update flash and when you flash a new version all that stuff is still there. Cool, never knew about that. I've never deleted anything from the stock cm rom, just the roboto font install, gps.conf changes and adblocking hosts file. The hosts file survived the flash on its own, the other 2 I had to redo.

I hope RC1 comes to the Droid X soon. EncounterICS is getting kinda old, and changing ROMs frequently is a giant pain in the dick since you basically have to SBF every time. I hate this stupid phone.

It's fantastic.

Do any of you rooted su Android users use Good for Enterprise for work email on the phone? I'm at an ethical crossroads I guess, apparently IT won't let me use Good with root and su on the device. (the app checks, not IT). Would I be good using something like RootKeeper to keep root open when I need it? Would I be a bad person and jeopardizing company data? Anyone else find themselves in a spot like this before?

ProjektorBoy posted:Everything I've ever heard about the TBolt basically came down to Team BAMF and Team Liquid being the ones who made the phone worth a drat. From a former Thunderbolt owner, Team Liquid made the only ROM actually worth using. It had pretty good battery life where the BAMF ROMS were terrible. I tried out MIUI v4 Alpha on my Razr Maxx, and man, if they get the SD card stuff sorted I'll switch to that as my Daily Driver. I liked how the ROM performed and felt. It was pretty nice...especially coming from a tbolt.

Sucks, but that way you can't be blamed when poo poo goes wrong (whether or not it has anything to do with rooting). Furthermore, rooting and custom ROMs completely subvert the security mechanisms Android has in place, and enables opportunity for espionage. Not that xda gives two shits about your company, but if they did, then you would be a vector. If it's a personal device and work doesn't provide an IMAP or webmail gateway, then you shouldn't be using it for work-related purposes. If you're required to, then your work should provide a device to you for that purpose. They can't make you purchase device, make you pay for its service, and impose their policies on it. Well they can, but they're ignorant assholes for doing it, and they probably can't comprehend why that's terrible security policy. At that point, do whatever, although I doubt work would be particularly understanding of how it's "their fault" if/when poo poo goes wrong. In any event, most of us aren't in that situation.

I hope this hasn't come up too recently, but can anyone give me a little rundown of which rom is my best bet for a cdma galaxy nexus? And what exactly would it offer over stock ICS? My only point of comparison with android roms is the touchpad, where its not really an option to stick with the "stock" os.

My only point of comparison with android roms is the touchpad, where its not really an option to stick with the "stock" os. I would recommend Liquid 1.1 with LeanKernel 2.5. There's also CM9, MIUI, and a couple others but in my opinion nothing as stable and feature rich as Liquid right now. Advantages: LeanKernel cuts a bit of the bloat out and works directly with SetCPU to allow you to run at low voltage and MHz while the screen is off. This increases battery life greatly. Liquid also offers very nice looking menus and toggles. Liquid/LeanKernel combo puts the least amount of work on your phone to do making it very smooth, stable, and long lasting battery. Not to mention Liquid is 4.0.3, resolving any issues or potential issues you may have with stock 4.0.2. yamdankee fucked around with this message at 21:07 on Mar 20, 2012 |

Nandroid and flash and you're laughing. EDIT: I've just read the OP, and it tells you what you can try once you're rooted. Though it doesn't make it clear how goddamn important it is to nandroid. Most issues I've noticed can be fixed just with restoring a backup. Could it be made extra big and prominent to nandroid every time you go to do something with your phone?

If you're still reading my posts after I just learned how to spell: Just make sure you're on 4.0.3 before flashing as it is a 4.0.3 kernel. If you're feeling adventurous, you can go for the notrim version so you can overclock. I've been running notrim for weeks without a problem.

ExcessBLarg! posted:It's not really an ethical issue, more of a cover everyone's rear end issue. Well yeah its both. Ethical choice of mine considering I had Good synching my email with root hidden using RootKeeper, I could have kept it. I'm back to stock anyways, it's definitely a "cover our rear end" type of deal for the company. It's my phone and phone plan but the company picks up much of the bill, I'll trade that in exchange for future CM9 goodness.

Man this liquid rom has a hell of an ugly boot animation. Everything seems to be going fine though, thanks. edit: Maybe I spoke too soon, its still on this loading animation and hasn't booted yet... How long should this take exactly? edit2: Yeah definitely not booting at all, just sticks to the animation forever. Should I just give up and restore my backup? I don't really understand what I did wrong, I've flashed roms before and I didn't do anything differently. Used clockword mod. blackflare fucked around with this message at 00:16 on Mar 21, 2012 |

Which is a shame, because I really love the phone. I just would love it more if I could run TiBackup on it and get rid of all the verizon-related bloat. \/\/ no roms to flash to.

I used this toolkit a while ago, but another goon has had success with a bit of a friendlier looking toolkit that does the same thing. If you use the latter, make sure it's set to CDMA/LTE. The steps for this would basically be: 1) Backup anything on the phone like pictures, music, etc to your computer. 2) Download the latest versions of the toolkit of your choice, Liquid, and LeanKernel. 3) Install the toolkit. 4) Choose 'Drivers' (to install necessary drivers). 5) Choose 'Unlock'. This is the part that wipes everything, basically putting the phone into out of the box condition, but now unlocked. This means you can install custom kernels like LeanKernel. 6) Choose 'Root'. 7) Now you have an unlocked, rooted GNex with Clockworkmod Recovery. CWM allows you to create backups/restore, flash things like ROMS, kernels, and other .zips. So copy over the Liquid zip and the Leankernel zip to the root of your SD card (just don't put it in any folder so it's easy to find in CWM). 8) Turn off the phone, boot into bootloader menu by holding VOL UP and VOL DOWN and POWER at the same time. Then press VOL DOWN, then POWER to enter CWM Recovery. 9) Select backup/restore and do a backup. 10) Wipe data/factory reset. 11) Wipe cache. 12) Install zip from sd card > choose the Liquid zip. Install. 13) Now find the LeanKernel zip and flash that, too. 14) Reboot, and you're all set. Follow the onscreen instructions for the toolkit, and don't plug your phone into the computer until it tells you to. Once you're booted into Liquid for the first time, you'll have to reactivate, and then your apps should start downloading again automatically if you chose to have your apps restored.
