I've been waiting on CM10 to hit an RC before jumping from stock on my VZW GNex because I'm a coward that has only used wug's tool to root. 1) Should I go to the leaked AOSP stock JB, or hold off? 2) On a scale of 1 - I'm going to brick my phone, how hard would it be to move to the leaked AOSP version if that might be worthwhile?

Cross posting from the Sprint thread.. I just got a Sprint Galaxy Nexus. I've unlocked it, installed TWRP and rooted. It's great and all. Is there a reliable source of a stock image "just in case?" I know Google doesn't offer one at this time. I found one on XDA that is to be used with Odin, but was wondering if there was a better spot for it because, well, XDA.

I actually kind of like keeping it this way, so that if an OTA update comes through, it should be just ready to go as I'm only using rooted stock. Fastboot flashing recovery for a one time use is pretty simple. Learn something new everyday I suppose. OMGMYSPLEEN fucked around with this message at 08:19 on Sep 6, 2012 |

Actually renaming install_recovery.sh doesn't affect OTAs and you can always flash an OTA with a custom recovery (just not from the notification) so I'd keep it renamed just for ease-of-use if something goes wrong.

Like, more stable than whatever crappy stock ROM's came on this thing. CM10 is like project butter sex on this thing. I know I suck CM9/10's dick a lot in this thread but it has 100% of its features working. This isnt like a GB or ICS rom nightly that doesn't have 4g or camera or whatever.

I'm using CM10 on my GMS galaxy nexus, and I've had a few random reboots. Nothing else though. Gallery/camera previews seem to work just fine for me. The reboots I think I've had 4 in the past 3 weeks, so not great but not really noticeable..

I switched to CM10 on my Sprint Gnex about 6 days ago because the JB rom that I had been using wouldn't connect to LTE and I couldn't up date the PRL with out it force closing. CM10 works great, no reboots locks, or crashes that I have seen or noticed and even the Sprint Updates for PRL and Profile work. All in all I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to run something other than stock.

So I own a Vibrant SGH-959 that I bought from another Goon about a year ago. It's still running 2.2  I'm determined to root my phone this weekend as the only thing getting in my way is my own laziness in actually taking the time to do so. My question is, since the OP hasn't been updated for a year and a half no, is there a recommended, stable ROM for my phone in particular?

Yeah, I'm looking for a stock android ROM at this rate. Cyanogen looks nice, but I'm confused on the nighties part (would this mean I'd have to update the ROM on a nightly basis or something?) as well as the whole emergency calls not working correctly.

You don't necessarily HAVE to, but it's small improvements they're often putting in there. I dropped 6 bucks on "rom manager premium" , and I can load it up, it checks if there's a new nightly, downloads, installs, updates, and i'm good to go with about 3 button presses and 10-15 minutes of time (mostly to download the rom and gapps). This is based on my experience on a different phone with CM10, but I'd assume your experience should be similar.

So I finally tried cm10 on my HTCEVOLTE, and I really dig it. Other than the funkiness with the Sprint Visual Voicemail stuff, I'm having a hell of a time trying to get the sdcard and sdcard-ext to mount when I plug it up to my computer. I really have no idea what to try or even look at, but I turn on mass storage, and I plug it in, and tap the little USB Storage button, and all I get is an odd empty folder mounted. Anyone experience this at all?

I don't want to be the guy who tells you to break your emergency calling, then you get mauled by a bear or some poo poo and it eats your SIM card. Edit : if it's a non-immediate emergency call that's necessary (your sim just disintegrates and there's no immediate threat of life and limb), then you can just do a backup with clockworkmod before flashing CM10, and roll back to that if you absolutely need to place an emergency call before the Cyanogen people figure out how to fix it.

After all the bullshit I went through (multiple DOAs of my phone, tier 2 tickets, an NRB ticket) I just want 4G that works.

WebDO posted:So my question about this then is do I flash the new radios that are also leaked? I mean, its worth a try. I flashed new radios way back when (like march or so?) but I don't know if they stuck. What's your baseband version? I'm on I515.09V.FC04/I515.09V.FC05. I only ask because I don't know how long a radio sticks-- I've loaded like 12 different ROM's and done that many wipes since I flashed those radios. This is completely anecdotal, and I don't know if ROM selection affects this, but I've seen better hand off with CM10. Again, it may depend on your location. I live in a 4g rich area so my 4g/3g hand offs are few. I also use juicedefender so any radio connection lag I chalk up to that. It's worth a try for sure. I've been through several JB roms and this is easily the best.

Anyone have any experience with a Nexus 7, staying completely stock other than being rooted and having a kernel that supports USB drives? My friend just got one and wants to be able to watch movies on it, but I don't know anything about Nexus 7 poo poo, and I'm so sick of wading through trash on XDA and don't want to gently caress up someone else's tablet.

So I successfully rooted my Vibrant to CM10. My issue now, is I no longer have access to the wi-fi calling app I had previously through T-Mobile. This is an issue for me since my apartment has lovely service and wi-fi calling was the only thing allowing me to get calls. Is there a fix or another way to grab this app?

There's no Wi-Fi calling workarounds to my knowledge, you just have to use GrooveIP or Talkatone and tell people to call your Google Voice number for incoming stuff.

I'm feeling ballsy and want to try out CM10 on my Galaxy Nexus. I'm already rooted, unlocked, and have a nandroid/titanium backup. What's the best/fastest process to get CM10 going? I'm thinking: 1) Rom Manager to download and install CM10 2) Flash CM10 3) ...? Sign in to google accounts? Something? 4) Restore from Titanium, but not system files Anything else I need to know? What do I need to setup that restoring from titanium won't?

What's the best/fastest process to get CM10 going? You don't need to feel ballsy at all. I am the kind of guy who only runs extremely stable, non-janky, stock-looking ROMS and I run the nightlies of CM10, updating every other day or so. I came from a brand new replacement phone from Samsung, so all I did was unlock and root, flash recovery, boot to recovery, flash CM10, flash the google application zip, and start signing into google, facebook, twitter, whatever. Since I didn't have a titanium to work from I just reinstalled all my critical apps and went from there. The thing you want to do is keep the google apps zip on your phone, because every time you run a new nightly it overwrites stuff like the google search bar with the old stupid version.

Well what I mean is that I already have my phone the way I want it, with all my apps setup the way I want, but on the stock 4.1.1 rom from Google. If I switch to try out CM10, what do I need to do to switch and have everything the way I want? I don't even know what to expect when I boot into CM10 the first time. Thanks for the reminder about Google Apps though. I would have completely forgotten about needing those.
