Update: Tried flashing a Stock ROM with questionable luck... got to the device activation, but then it sat at the Activating prompt forever and nothing happened. Then I remembered I had backed up waaaaaaay back when I first got the phone, so now I'm running the basic Stock Android kernel that the Thunderbolt shipped with, ha. Now I gotta figure out how to flash it back to something else successfully.

Titanium Backup says I have root. ROM Manager and OTA Rootkeeper both say I don't. What's up with that and how do I fix it? (GSM Galaxy Nexus on stock, supposedly-rooted ROM)

Do you have SuperUser in your app drawer?

I've got Superuser installed, and it just granted Titanium Backup permission last night. It shows that it has granted Root keeper and ROM manager permission before but it's been a couple months. The box for notifying about new binaries is checked.

Alright so after trying ICS on the EVO 4G (or rather, trying to get it to work with minimal lag) I'm just going to assume ICS on our phone is never going to happen without there being lag on it.

Best I can say would be to force the binary install, clear out all saved SU permissions, then reboot and see if they ask (open each app and force it). Failing that, I might try replacing the SU app with another. The stock, rooted Jelly Bean I'm running came with SuperSU by Chainsfire instead of Superuser by ChainsDD (what's up with superuser apps and chains?) and it's not too shabby.

Pympede posted:Now that the Galaxy Nexus jelly bean update is rolling out is there any way to upgrade early on my bell mobility (canada) phone? In all likelihood if you're in Canada you have a yakjuux version (I think) and this build will be for takju and maybe yakju devices only so if you want to update early you'll need to move to one of those builds. If you wait for the official yakjuux OTA rollout you could be waiting a long(-ish) time.

LastInLine posted:Is your bootloader unlocked? If so once the full image gets posted to Google dev page you can just flash straight to that build (and if you're rooted, restore to where you were with Titanium). My phone is completely locked. I checked and it is a yakjuux version. Just so I'm clear, I can unlock my bootloader and once the 4.1 image hits the Google dev page I can flash that and be good to go? My phone is HSPA which is CDMA right?

When you unlock your bootloader you'll lose everything so if you didn't do it beforehand, tough titties. You can use the adb backup method if you'd like to try to keep your data around the bootloader issue, but flashing a full takju/yakju build from Google will wipe everything including the internal storage and you won't be able to restore an adb backup to a different build. If you don't mind losing everything though yes, you can simply flash a stock 4.1 build when it's available.

Question about GB Kernels, I'm looking at this Mason Kernel and I'm seeing this thing called FSO. Looking over it it seems like it makes the phone even faster but it has the potential to corrupt your phone data on a crash? I'm already pretty weary with SBC on a kernal, so should I be the same with this FSO business?

I rooted my T-Mobile G2 to CM7 successfully, but all the tethering apps I've tried - Barnacle, EasyTether, WiFi Tether for Root Users, and FoxFi - all still send me to the T-Mobile upsell page. Did I miss something in rooting and/or configuring my phone so that it lets me have free tethering? Is there a different/better app for the purpose?

To go along with my last comment about how I don't keep up with ROMs and poo poo... I'm just running an ICS stock rooted image on my GNex. Now that the OTA is being delivered to Galaxy Nexus devices, how do I go from where I am now, to stock rooted JB? IIRC, having an unlocked and rooted device means I won't get the OTA...and I don't feel like waiting till it finally gets pushed my device anyway.

I've been using Preludedrew's ICS for a while now and can't say I really notice a problem. FFC and WiMax are no-go, but everything else is as good as or better than CM7 IMO.

If you changed poo poo in /system you'll have to either find a prerooted ROM to flash or return it to stock but it's doubtful you changed anything that would preclude the OTA from installing. Obviously if you don't feel like waiting there will be a CM-flashable update available as soon as someone captures the OTA.

LiquidRain posted:I've never used tethering, but there's always mobile hotspot. That's built in to CM in the wifi settings. Right - that's what I meant, mobile hotspot. Only problem is that the reason I rooted was that T-Mobile clamped down on tethering without a plan, and that app was also built in to the semi-stock 2.3.2 and 2.3.4 that was on the G2 previously. I figured rooting would give me more options to get tethering/mobile hotspot but no luck so far.

LastInLine posted:The inbuilt CM one shouldn't send you to the upsell page. I've used it plenty and it never has done it for me. Yeah, it used to be fine for me too - until one day tethering either hotspot or wired USB sent me to the upsell. I'm guessing there has to be some kind of app that masks all tethered-machine traffic as from the phone as opposed to straight traffic that a regular PC or network clinet would use... just have yet to find it and just searching for tethering apps gives a see of paid and non-paid alike.

Just installed this on my phone and while it is one of the better ICS roms for us (I'd probably say the best right now) it still has some minor annoyances that I'd like ironed out. I've got hope now that it'll be fixed.

My usage pattern has the phone plugged in almost non-stop from about midnight through 5 pm and if it gets used when unplugged it's almost always the battery suck known as GPS. Right now I'm at 83% with 6:45 off power in which time it's received a text and kept synced with three Google Apps accounts.

Just going to pop this here as it seems to fit. Im sending my razr back in as a warranty replacement for my lack of 4g and green tinted screen, and i already did a factory reset. I still have superuser installed, and i dont see an obvious way to drop it. Do i have to reroot to uninstall or is there some other simple method?

Those of you wanting to try JB for the first time or again hoping the "little" things have been worked out... Bugless Beast put out by Peter Alfonso was waiting for source to hit. He's been really fast with this release which I am kind of surprised by because he tends to be behind everyone else but his builds are so stable and on point. Any, he released his AOSP version yesterday night http://download.peteralfonso.com/toro/rom -- all the way at the bottom Been running it all day and I've not had a single issue with it. And by single issue I mean I haven't had to flash anything after flashing his like every other JB ROM that has come out for the GN to fix random GPS issue 313. Even the carrier code shows as verizon wireless like it's supposed to. This is the first JB ROM to do that off the bat for me.

My SG3 runs really hot and has pretty short battery life. I am running the Diet ICS rom on XDA and using the cpu sleep apk that is supposed to sleep one of the cpu's when the screen is off. Anyone else experiencing battery life issues? Maybe its the rom?
