I'm getting a replacement GNex today, and am thinking of running a non-stock ICS ROM on it. Is there anything like super-stock that isn't stupid, buggy, or ugly worth running? Paranoid Android? CM?

On CM, when my car connects to my phone to stream over bluetooth, Apollo (the music app) starts playing automatically. I don't want it to do this! I can't figure out how to change that. Any tip/tricks?

So far I've really liked Codename Android's ROM. Looks stock, but you get all the functionality of CM10 and some other mods. Just be sure to flash another kernel once you get it installed. The kernel that comes with CNA has an overclocked GPU and it can cause problems. Some people have reported pixilation and other problems until they flashed a kernel that had stock GPU freq.

Yeah, I just updated to CM10 as well. Buttery smooth and identical to stock with your nicely add CM features (aka not bloatware) like T9 dialer, notification bar power widget, tether, etc etc. It's only in nightly form now but everything is functional.

I have a rooted tmobile galaxy s3, what is the easiest way to unlock it for use on other networks? I was checking out the qcom toolkit v2.3 thread on XDA and they say it is not possible yet. Is it really not possible to unlock any gsm galaxy s3?

Install Gentoo posted:poo poo with this phone. Insert the apk for the underclocker and remove the apk for the first boot walkthrough in /system/app from the CM zip. Then wipe, flash, boot the phone, and run the app. If it's rebooting that fast though how is the governor even letting it boot up? Rebuilding the Dalvik alone should be enough to tax it to the point of rebooting if it's that hosed up.

ExcessBLarg! posted:Actually I think the option went away in favor of the setting being hardcoded. That is, multipart SMSes can be used on devices that support them, or the Messaging app will split messages automatically before sending them. The problem is that the configuration defaults to "multipart works!" when it really wasn't. You totally called this, it's working fine with the newest version and the split message counter option is back in the options. The last nightly was really stable, I'm pretty impressed with this rom.

Jesus, I finally gave up with this "crash on copy" horse poo poo that has seemingly developed on my (and others according to Google) S3 and rooted to fix it. The phone would literally just lock up for about a minute the second I tried to copy something, anything. It would eventually spring back to life just like it came out of a fresh reboot. As a bonus, any program that tried to access the clipboard would just insta-hang the phone until it recovered. Try to share dropbox link? gently caress you. Copy some text? Nope. ANYTHING???  The only other way to fix it apparently is a factory reset. Somewhat to my surprise, rooting it took about 2 minutes and all and was as simple as pressing '1' on my computer keyboard then enter a few times. Immediately after I downloaded Root Browser Lite, nuked the system clipboard folder, restarted, and holy gently caress I CAN COPY AGAIN without crashing the phone.

1. boot recovery > advanced > wipe cache 2. reboot phone > File Explorer > delete /data/clipbord/* 3. reboot recovery again > advanced > fix permissions 4. reboot phone > it's fine Haven't had an issue with it lately, so wonder if one of the newer OTA update managed to fix it, but we'll see.

New phone unlocked, rooted (thank goodness I had already had the drivers set up on my PC, that's a pain), CM10 flashed, apps installed, nandroid made, all within an hour or so. CM10 seems like a real stable OS rather than anything I'd call a "nightly", so that's impressive.

LastInLine posted:How did you set it up the first time if it won't boot up without the app? Well the first time I set it up was about 2 or 3 years ago when I got that phone, and it hadn't yet suffered whatever damage it was that caused it to bug out like this! I switched up to an Inspire 4G at the beginning of last year. Since then I'd been using this Desire just as a second Android thing to do this and that with. A few months ago it started occasionally heating up a lot and then resetting, so I clocked it down to 800 mhz or so and that stopped that completely. Until my friend lost their phone and I decided to give the Desire to them, and ended up finding out that now instead of being usable for hours without being underclocked, now it'd only last a few minutes tops. Incidentally, it never seems to get too hot and then reboot while the phone is in recovery, or at the Cyanogenmod 7 logo animation, it only happens while it's fully booted into the Android environment. So basically something bizarre is happening with it causing some kind of thermal event and I don't know what it could be. The phone's also probably out of whatever warranty it had for sure, since I bought it used from a guy in Canada who had been using it a while before selling it to me, and since I already have my own perfectly working phone I'm not going to shell out to HTC to fix this one in a more permanent way. Anyway I'll try inserting the APK and all and see if that works. It's just a shame that there's no way to remove the first account without wiping everything! You'd think that should be possible honestly.

Like someone mentioned earlier, try putting it in the freezer. Or doing it while in a walk-in freezer. Maybe make sure you open the phone up as much as possible...like taking the battery cover off. Do it in front of a fan. Basically keep it cool as possible.

I really don't know what's causing the phone to freak out when not underclocked, I just know that it'll heat up drastically just as it's about to crash and reset. Perhaps I just need to wait for winter, as just doing the freezer thing doesn't seem to cut it. I'd have tossed it already if it wasn't stable when underclocked, and my friend didn't need a loaner phone for the moment. Edit: Perhaps it's cursed? Or haunted?

Trying to get 4.1 on my rooted, stock rom GNEX. I'm poo poo at this rooting business so I can't even get the simplest poo poo to work. So here's the steps I need to take: AC posted:1. Go completely back to stock 4.0.4/IMM76K by using either Wug's Toolkit or my Return to Stock guide. 1. I'm already on this image 2. Device is unlocked, clockworkmod is installed 3. Ok, how? I have the <long rear end name here>.zip on my SD root. Now what? Rename it to update.zip? Go into fastboot? I DON'T loving KNOW 4. Ditto.

If you've got the right whatever.zip; CWM will have an option to select from SD card. Pick the zip from there and it will flash away. Make a nandroid (CWM backup) before you do that.

Ahhh, I'm stupid (obviously). I was getting fastboot mixed up with the clockwork mod. I didn't realize I still had to use the nexus toolkit to them boot into cwm. Trying it now.

I currently own an LG Thrill 4G (LGP925) and am using the official Gingerbread release with the Thrill Seeker v2.0 ROM and v20p software version. I would like to update to a newer version of the software that will hopefully give me better performance while still allowing me to root my phone. Also when doing so I am wondering which ROMs I should consider using. I have not been keeping up with the community so I am totally lost right now. I see that there is a v3.# release for Thrill Seeker right now. Also there is a v21e software version available. I just don't know if I should use v21e, stick with v20p, or use something else even. A friend of mine swears by the CM7 Nightly builds, but I do understand that if I use that with my phone I will lose the HDMI (which I have never used) and the 3D (which I only use from time to time but do enjoy). Any recommendations? Also right now I am in the middle of making a backup so I am ready to wipe my phone of any junk that could be on it. Thanks for any help!

There needs to be a "clear clipboard" option in the Settings menu or something to clear it out should that kind of thing happen, although it probably shouldn't happen in the first place. But I give them some credit for trying to implement a useful feature.

LastInLine posted:You don't have a custom recovery installed, the red triangle over the horizontal android is the stock recovery and it can't do what you need. I figured as much. So since the directions on the page I was following there are incorrect (well, not so much as incorrect as a key step not actually explaining anything at all), I guess I should follow this if I want to keep going? So if I understand correctly, I need to use Mobile Odin to flash CWM5 so I can use that to wipe my data/cache and then flash CM9 and Gapps. And after that I should have everything set and never have to deal with this again? Sorry if this is all obvious, I just want to make extra sure I don't gently caress everything up.

Wrist Watch posted:I figured as much. If you're dealing with custom ROMs though you'll very much have to deal with stuff like this again. Again and again and again and again. That's what the custom ROM scene is all about, doing poo poo like this over and over and over hoping this feature won't be broken tonight or that bug finally got fixed or maybe this mod will fill that hole in your consumerist soul but like a good heroin addiction you'll get close but never quite catch that dragon. But sure that guide seems reasonable as any. I was looking to see if there's a build of CWR6 for the Epic 4G Touch but I couldn't find one. A shame because it's a lot nicer than CWR5 for multiple backups.

Wrist Watch posted:and apparently CM9 alpha 6 is the latest stable version. Wrist Watch posted:can I just follow the "Complete install directions" section or is there something else better or what? Wrist Watch posted:And what the gently caress is a nightly? Since nightly builds are generated automatically, they're not necessarily tested and occasionally a patch makes it through that inadvertently breaks some feature on the device. People complain about it, it gets fixed, and the next nightly will incorporate that fix (along with another bug). Stable or snapshot builds (at least, in CM terminology) are those that are released after a testing period and so, shouldn't contain any obvious undocumented bugs. Wrist Watch posted:And after that I should have everything set and never have to deal with this again? Otherwise you don't have to mess with mobile Odin or the other crap again, no.
