Wiped & flashed v2.1 of the Verizon GNex JB from above, not noticing any issues, connects to my WiFi and 4G just fine, camera and GPS work. It has Wallet, but I haven't launched it because I've heard weird things about Wallet and locking and I don't want to gently caress anything up.

Otherwise, very nice. Feels faster. TitaniumBackup still works just fine to backup and restore. The cards thing might be neat after I use it some more.

"It's time to choose."
My Samsung Captivate with CM9 keeps randomly restarting. So I hooked it up in debug mode to my PC and ran "adb logcat" to try to catch the cause of the crash.

OF COURSE now it won't crash no matter what I try. What could be causing this?

Also, is there a program that can constantly write logcat to a log file on the phone? So I can maybe catch the crash log that way?

Is anyone with an EVO 4G running ICS? I really would like to but some of these roms that are out now seem like too much trouble for something that ~might~ work. I know with Team DIRT's ICS I have to partition my SD card and all that and it just seems like a hassle. With CM7 I don't have to do all this stuff, it seems to just work.

Is there no decent ICS rom for me now :(

I've been running Preludedrew's Evervolv for a while now. I'm on a hell of an old version and it's still stable. Camera works for photos only and is a bit unstable on this build, but I think it works properly in the new ones. 4G does not work in any ICS builds to my knowledge.

Did you flash the radio, too? I have a takju Gnex and would like to play with JB, but I don't want to bother if I have to flash a radio that would complicate my reverting to stock.

I did flash the radio but I don't think it's that hard to find a stock radio.

How would flashing a radio complicate reverting to stock?

Reverting to stock is literally flashing one complete build that does the radio, bootloader, /system, and userspace all at once.

My mistake. I am new to Nexus devices and just saw that the images available at the Google dev site are the whole package. That is pretty classy. So despite my custom bootloader, the Google dev image will overwrite everything. This is way easier than my old HTC devices. Never gonna stray from a GED again.

The only issue is that Google doesn't keep available all full packages but usually xda or RW has a full archive of every full version and official OTA, plus flashable versions of the radios and bootloaders with info for regions, builds, etc.

But yes, returning to stock or switching builds is literally a single button press at any time.

Watch the madness!

Sporting Mimicry now, which just got a small update today. No mention of a fix for switching between speakerphone and back again, though. Didn't use my phone much today, and came home 12 hours after it was turned on with wifi all day to find out it had 89% battery left. I think I'm gonna stick with Mimicry. :)

Mine is a yakju and I didn't bother flashing a radio when flashing JB through CWM, working perfectly fine without any issues for me.

I just want to clarify the process for flashing a google stock image to a gnex- I have the tgz extracted. Do I open an ADB session to the phone, adb push all the files to the root of the storage, and from adb shell run the flash-all.sh?

There's a Galaxy Nexus tool kit on XDA that can easy return your phone to bare stock very easily. It doesn't specifically say it flashes a radio though, it probably does. As long as you can get your phone into Fastboot mode, it will work.

You know that's funny because I told the dev about that speakerphone issue and apparently that got fixed back on Andromadus beta 3. We couldn't figure out what was going on there :P


Edit: If you still have the file can you back it up to dropbox or something? All his download links are down.


\/\/\/ Yeah Mimicry is a genuinely good rom and the supporting dev is very responsive and seems enthusiastic about devving and not the e-penis. There are still some bugs but nothing really dealbreaking (save the reports of the microphone).

I'm running the VanirBEAN v5 Jellybean on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus and its great. The only thing I don't like is how the new version of the stock keyboard removed the punctuation from the correction row when the cursor is not on a word. Is there a way to get this back (maybe a keyboard setting I'm not seeing?) or a way to quickly type question marks and exclamation points without longpressing on the period?

I am a pretty pretty princess, watch me do my pretty princess dance....
Running rooted/debloated official ICS from xda on my igh777. Took a few tries to get it working, but my last issue is gmail is not pushing as I would expect. I can't uncover any settings to ensure it is set to push, and clearing cache, reinstalling updates, deleting/readding the account and clearing cache don't seem to be helping.

Any thoughts? some light searching didn't turn up much else.

So out of curiosity I decided to unlock my Verizon GNex and flashed the new Jelly bean rom. The improvement to UI performance is excellent, but I had issues with Light Flow. Notifications would not go away properly, and worst of all sound notifications would play repeatedly - they would not stop unless I turn off the phone. I tried both popular versions of the roms as well various versions, but I couldn't get it fixed.

So I'm back to stock 4.0.4 as I really like Light Flow. If anyone has experienced this and has found a fix I'd appreciate it! It's the only real problem I had, but unfortunately it's a deal breaker.

Also on Jelly Bean... loving it, but a few hours ago I swiped my weather card away to see if it that would cause it to reappear in the notifications when it comes back.

It still hasn't returned :ohdear:

I tried both that and a reboot. Neither helped.

I think I may need to leave my location and reenter it, perhaps? Can't you fake location with ABD?

Got it! Disable and renable Google Now. Which kinda makes sense. It's in the settings, which you get to by scrolling to the bottom and hitting the action bar.

I have a feeling that if you go far enough away from the area it designates as your home (to the point where it'll give you the "x minutes from home" card) it'll give you new weather card for that area, which would then update to your home area when you get back to it, but I don't feel like driving around with my phone just to get a silly weather card back.

Glad I have it back, though. It's pretty. :3:

I'm not sure what changes can really be made to the cards... I guess you'd have to redisable the ones you disabled, but the ones that came up contextually/due to searches (like the sports teams ones) came back for me.

As far as the phone goes this build is rock solid. It breaks apps that rely on WebView though, so no Awful Betamax at the moment but that's the point of getting this development build out early because the official update will break them too.

That said the speed and responsiveness is amazing, Google Now is pretty loving neat, and the notifications are really cool.
I second the awesomness of JB. Just switched over yesterday and already I don't think I'll be going back even to Cyanogen until the release a JB version. It's very smooth and responsive. Also, is it just me or are there additional menu fades/animations that were implemented? I seem to be noticing a lot more things zooming on and off the screen, which makes for a pretty cool user experience.

With regards to the Awful Betamax app -- what's the difference between that and Scott Ferguson's Awful app? I've been using that one, and it works just fine on JB.

Scott's app hasn't been updated on a long time, and doesn't have a lot of nice features that the beta max has included.

You know how much better Jelly Bean is from Ice Cream Sandwich even though they're pretty much the same thing?

That's how much better Awful Betamax is (when it works) compared to Awful. Geekner completely redid the UI with a swipe-based focus, added theming, added BBCode support, and so much more. The swipe gestures are so intuitive that I find myself trying to do them outside of the app. It's like the first time you use OSX trackpad gestures after using Windows all your life, and all of a sudden using a mouse to control a computer makes you feel like you're one of the monkeys at the beginning of 2001 banging on the obelisk and you wonder how you did it for so many years. It's like that but with forum navigation.

Yeah that's been a problem that Geekner is promising to address very soon (by having Ferg push out one last update to a stable Betamax and telling users that it's the end of the line).

Keep up with him in the thread (linked current last page because you just don't need much before that) and be part of the discussion that shapes the app you love to use!

And you thought they were cute and cuddly.

I'm at 15 hours on the latest vanirbean build for my gnex and my extended battery is about dead. Over an hour of screen time and decent 4g signal the entire time.

From looking at better battery stats, I'm getting quite a few wake locks from GPS location services which was supposedly fixed in the latest release and goodies patch.

Just some notes I thought someone might find useful, especially when unlocking the bootloader on HTC Evo 4G LTE:

Android ADB drivers don't like to install sometimes on Windows 7 64. Just install PDANet and that will take care of that for you.

HTC Dev Unlock Bootloader instructions tell you to copy fastboot.exe into a new folder and run it from there. That is stupid and didn't work for me, as it would just sit on "Waiting for device". Just run fastboot.exe out of the folder that it comes in within the Android SDK folders.
