clockworkjoe posted:You mean flash back to 2.3.5? What will I lose if I do this? How do I do it? If you've trolled around enough Motorola forums, you'll find a tool called RSD Lite. RSD Lite is Motorola's factory flashing tool that pushes factory images in the form of SBF & FXZ files. Since you're rooted, you're thankfully just a Titanium Backup away from retaining your apps and their respective settings. Simply obtain an SBF or FXZ file for your phone, and flash it with RSD Lite. Since SBF/FXZ files are complete wipes of your device, ensure that your data is backed up to a PC before proceeding. RSD Lite will rewrite the entire NAND memory of the device down to the block level, and set it to a fresh-out-of-the-box condition. Once you have a fully stock system, you can apply the ICS update.zip manually in stock recovery or take it OTA. There's a few tools out there that will root Motorola ICS. The popular one lately is called RazrEdge

Oh neat. CM10 M2 has wifi idle time out turned on by default so I pulled down 1.5 gigs out of my 2 gig data pool last night in podcast restoring. Thanks CyanogenMod!

Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep Always Only when plugged in Never It used to say: Wifi sleep policy When screen turns off Never when plugged in Never So if you always want wifi to work, before you'd pick Never and now you'd pick Always.

Stock JB is a little different than ICS yes (from my stock N7); Keep WiFi on during Sleep - Always - Only when plugged in - Never The wording is fine but keeping WiFi on is the default. Why the CM team decided to have it idle time out by default is retarded. Who would want that?

I remember that being default from Eclair earlier but none past that. I know my NS stock and N7 were set to never idle time out by default. I rarely restore during set up either so it's not that. Edit: vvv I don't restore Maker Of Shoes fucked around with this message at 18:44 on Oct 13, 2012 |

Edit: Although I'd suspect the N7 would default to it as it has no cellular radio to fallback to. Either way I'm certain Froyo and Gingerbread defaulted to Always (when sleeping) on at least the G2x and I'm reasonably sure Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean do as well since I've flashed them without signing in on my wife's Nexus S a couple times since I did the flashes while she was sleeping and restored using Titanium instead since I didn't have her password. E2: Maybe it's defaulted to not sleeping when it's on wifi but I really doubt it. A quick Google search still shows articles showing this hidden feature as recently as 2012 so if it defaulted to not sleeping why are articles pointing out how to access and change it if it hasn't done that since 2010? I'm nearly certain it's associated with the Google sign in whether you choose to restore or not but I'll admit I could be wrong. It's definitely true that CM10 either doesn't restore that or doesn't default it but I really think it's defaulting correctly to AOSP and failing to restore.

Maker Of Shoes posted:Thanks CyanogenMod! I'm not sure if this is relevant to your issue but I had a problem with a ton of data being used on my finite plan and finally got it to stop by going to settings>data usage>menu> restrict background data. This forces a bunch of stuff to use wifi no matter what so if you idle out, it won't chew through a ton of data. Hope this is somewhat relevant and is actually there in JB.

I'm having a problem with Codename Android 3.6 on my maguro GNex. When I plug in an aux cable it doesn't switch audio output to the headphone jack. I tried two aux cables and no dice. As a sanity check I flashed CM10 which works just fine with the aux cable. Anyone know why this might be happening? Or know of an app that lets me force audio to go out the headphone jack?

Just got Clockwork Recovery and Big Mem Kernel on my phone (NS4G) thanks to LastInLine. It's running really drat well. Surprisingly faster too. Can't wait to see what 4.1.2 does in a month or two. Thanks again, LastInLine! This really is seeming to do the trick.  Edit: A question, after installing the kernel to my device, am I able to delete it safely from the SD card?

Yes you can delete the .zip after its been flashed Did you overclock at all? I've only been running CM10 since this morning so I don't know what it'll do to stability or battery life but it seems bumping the clock up to 1200MHz does make a noticeable difference to performance. e. drat BLN is nice, forgot how great screen off notifications are. Also the screen off animation works correctly now (unlike stock 4.1.1) dissss fucked around with this message at 03:39 on Oct 14, 2012 |

I just put the kernel on stock 4.1.1 and it's been pretty smooth sailing from there. BLN is really awesome. I don't know how it'll affect battery life either but I'll probably find out soon as I tend to use the phone a lot before bed roaming YouTube.

Huh, you didn't need to install BLN Control to get it to work? Glad it worked out for you. I know it's only been a day but 4.1.2 is really, really snappy on her device, I hope it holds up.

Augh. I want 4.1.2 almost as much as I wanted ICS. Maybe Google will put the images up eventually... Since I have a different kernel, do I have to manually flash the other OS? How would I go about doing that? I assume it's just like I flashed this one using fastboot but skipping the recovery file?

ThermoPhysical posted:Augh. I want 4.1.2 almost as much as I wanted ICS. Seriously her phone is back to Ice Cream Sandwich levels of smoothness right now. If it holds up over the next two weeks (about the amount of time it took stock Jelly Bean to poo poo itself) then I think we can once again consider the Nexus S to still have a lot of life left in it. She's been reading with dismay the rumors on the LG Nexus and told me "If the Nexus S keeps running like it is right now, why would I upgrade?" I have to say after using it for that half hour I'd be hard pressed to disagree. 4.1.2 is that good. I have no idea how well CM10 runs on the NS but if you really get sick of the stock sluggishness on 4.1, that's an option. I do know there are a few formatting bugs and CM always did have trouble on the NS back in the Gingerbread days but just reminding you it is an option.

LastInLine posted:Not quite but close. Vagrancy posted instructions a little bit ago for doing it without wiping data. Once you do that you'll need to boot to recovery and apply the kernel if you want it (and who really can live without BLN and Voodoo Sound?) and SuperSU.zip if you decided to root. You'll need the updated 4.1.2 kernel to flash and I have it if you need it, just post here. Your wife's not using BigMem anymore or is it a combination of the BigMem kernel and 4.1.2? If it's just 4.1.2, that's pretty drat good. Honestly, I can take the 4.1.2 kernel now and just hold on to it. Chances are, I'll forget later because of Sprint being so slow. I was thinking of asking Sprint to boost my upgrade to January instead of March, but if the phone keeps holding up the way it is now with BigMem and the BLN tweak, I'll probably keep it until March anyway. It took my phone about 2 weeks or so to have some odd problems. It's only completely broken down twice and needed a reboot but this past week, I had to reboot due to the rotation not working. I don't know if that's a usual problem with Jelly Bean or not (I hope it is...I'd rather not have hardware issues when I'm so close to another phone). My boyfriend doesn't seem to be having the problems I had but he barely uses his phone anyway. His lasts at least 24 hours since he never plays music from it (he has his iPod touch 4th Generation still) and his signal is better. I downloaded CM10 to my laptop but haven't done anything with it yet. I'll probably give it a try eventually though. I was surprised how easy it was to put the kernel on, the only hard part was 2-Step Authentication but that's always been a slight annoyance to reset up. I'll be making a backup of the phone as it is now, so hopefully I won't have to do that again. ...I'll probably have to do it again for the Nexus 7 anyway.

As for the odd rotation problem, she didn't have that but did have random weird failures on 4.1. Once the phone thought it was charging whether or not it was plugged in. Reboots always fixed whatever was going wrong. It's too early to tell if 4.1.2 has these issues, like you said they always started up in about 14 days but I'm really optimistic. It's unreal how responsive it is.

NiVRaM88 posted:Id be interested in a guide for this. Also wondering if I can apply the same logic to boot animation.zip so I don't have to redo that every time I update as well. I have no idea about boot animations, but if they're just overwriting individual files on the filesystem it should be similar enough. If you browse to /system/addons.d you'll find a bunch of files that look like this:  As you can see it should already have some settings for various things that stick around after an update. You should at least the first 4 files. You'll need to mount the file system for read/write access, and make a new file in that directory. The easiest way to start is to make a copy of "50-cm.sh" and name it "99-<whatever>.sh". I called mine "99-frozenfiles.sh". Open the new file up and you'll get something that looks like this:  When you edit the file, the only lines you need to modify are between <<EOF and EOF. Notice how there's no / preceding the file name. For my bluetooth fix the only file I edited was "/etc/bluetooth/audio.conf" so I put that file between the EOF markers. Add any files you want, save the file, and then mount your filesystem back to read only. Now every time you flash Cyanogenmod, the updater will know to keep the files you instructed.

After getting fed up with how slow, unresponsive, and ugly my Droid X2 was on 2.3.5, I broke down and installed CM10. It's a gimped version of CM10 since Motorola sucks, but it's way faster than before. It would literally take 15 seconds or longer to open up with messaging app, camera app was slow as hell, and things would crash constantly. Basically I don't care if some things are broken on this new rom since it's less broken than before.

Finally tried cm10 on my sensation, which is fantastic, but also one of the most difficult roots I've done, thanks to needing to do the "wire trick". During the process, it seems I've ruined both a 32 and 16gb sd, which will now only format to 128kb. Is it possible to fix these? Windows thinks they're tiny, but they still work at the tiny capacities.

Can I rename this file while in Android or would it mess things up? As for battery life, I've been playing Broken Sword for about 2 hours or so. My battery went down pretty quick (as it's always done while doing nothing but gaming). It lasted 5 hours, however the screen time was 2h 49m. Previously, with the stock kernel, it was 2h 20m. I guess the custom kernel gave me 20m of battery. Not bad.

Plus, 4.1.2 + BigMem sounds like it'd be amazing for the Nexus S / S 4G. It even makes Chrome suck a bit less when loading sites, apparently.
