Just swapped to the CM 10.1 nightlies on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus and I'm liking it so far. Minor issue I've noticed though. It's using the old Calendar app so I had to download the new one, but now I have two Calendar apps. It's not that big of a deal, but how might I go about replacing the old app with the new one? I think I recall someone mentioning this in the thread a while back, but I can't seem to find it.

Well, looks like I learn something new about Titanium Backup everyday! I swear, that app is awesome but not at all intuitive sometimes. I noticed in the settings that I have the option to convert apps to user/systems apps. Should I convert the old version to a user app, uninstall, then convert the newer version to a system app to get everything as it should be?

Hey, I'd heard from the quality posters at xda-developers that people could swap the PRLs on their Sprint GNexes for Verizon PRLs and "roam" with much higher data rates. Now this sounds pretty awesome, but I've heard a lot of conflicting information about what this will do to your Sprint service. If I tried it I'm sure I'd get a ton of angry phone calls from Sprint about me tearing up Verizon's 3g network, but how likely am I to actually lose service? There seem to be a lot of threads on various android-centric forums where people have warned about losing their service, and then nobody in the thread ever seems to post about actually having their service revoked. Is it worth the risk?

That's what I was afraid of, but I was holding out hope. The data rates at my workplace are abysmal, typically 200 kbps or lower, and 4g coverage on Sprint is a myth. But they seriously wouldn't make you pay an ETF? That seems like useful information to have.

You don't need to convert the old version. Titanium Backup will yank out System apps as if they were anything else. Feel free to convert the newer calendar to a system app if you desire.

Reverting those fixes seems to correct the intermittent data drops so that's what they've done. I don't know what Franco is going to do with regards to it.

Probably a strange question, but I'm about to sell my Atrix to a friend and I want to make sure I put a solid, stable ROM with great battery life on it. It seems like this is my best bet: http://www.montuori.net/android-mrom/atrix-mrom/ Does anyone have suggestions?

Been a little while since I had to mess with a new Android device, my last ones were a phone I could run Gingerbreak on and a Nook Color, so easy stuff. I did manually root a Samsung intercept via ADB and Rage, though, so I'm not adverse to some CLI fun. What's the goon-approved method of rooting a Nexus 10? Mine's showing up tomorrow and I'd like to get it rooted before I set it up. So far I've seen the Nexus Root Tool and the Chainfire batch file method kicked around online. I'm leaning towards the Nexus Root Tool, since it does all sorts of fancy stuff like OpenRecovery and backups, but is there anything I need to keep in mind?

With a Nexus, you should just be able to "fastboot oem unlock", assuming you have the correct drivers (on a Windows machine).

Seems like the nightly CM10.1s are worth jumping to, now? I'm on a Nexus S 4G, and CM10 runs, but it hangs and lags more than I'd like, and maybe stock 4.1.1 is just all this phone can handle.

"d[-.- posted:b" post="411265485"] Do they ban you from signing up for a new Sprint account? Because if not, this seems like a great way to abuse the subsidy system (PRL yourself out of a contract 6 months in, sign up for a new contract, buy new subsidised phone).

A few days ago I rooted my Kyocera Rise. Is the Seeder app on the level? I honestly feel like it has hugely improved my phone's performance. But I think the Lifehacker article said that Google is calling it a placebo effect.

Penguissimo posted:True enough, but presumably anyone with the technical expertise and fatwallet-like dedication it would take to do something like this would have no problem with using Google Voice (minus Sprint integration, of course). The real question: can you do this trick on a GSM provider like AT&T or T-Mo by setting your phone to roam on whatever provider you're not currently contracted with? Sprint phones aren't worth poo poo for resale, but GSM ones sure are. Manky posted:A few days ago I rooted my Kyocera Rise. Is the Seeder app on the level?

I've heard that this hack can either keep your CPU at a higher frequency than it would otherwise be and/or wake it literally every second the device is on.

Been running TripNDroid's CM10.1 on my One X for a while now. It's working out pretty well, he seems alright out ironing out bugs and taking feedback. Kinda sick of S-ON on the One X. Sort-of regretting purchasing it at this point. It makes flashing in general a real pain.

Manky posted:Would you mind going into that? It all seems to be more of a side effect caused by the process keeping the processor at a higher frequency. Since the processor doesn't have to ramp up because it's already at the higher frequency. You won't notice that lag time. The reason I tie it to that is simply because several XDA developers and google employees have said that the only user that access that folder /dev/random is libcrypto, which is only tied to certain WEP_WPA and SSL tasks. rotaryfun fucked around with this message at 18:34 on Jan 7, 2013 |

The ONE feature I've been missing in CM10.1 that I had in CM10 has finally been added: customizable software buttons. Hurray! Not only that but it kept all my custom settings from when I had CM10. CM10.1 has been extremely stable on my GNex since I started using it, which was the first day it was available as an official nightly. I've had great battery life, usually making it 2 full days of average use, or one full day of heavy use. The only time I've had to charge it earlier in a day is if I spent an inordinate amount of time playing games on it, or browsing SA (I love Awful Betamax, but it's amazing how much webviews kill battery life.)

I actually jumped onto Franco Kernel on CM10.1 last night and goddamn am I impressed with the battery life so far. Usually, my phone will be at ~70% battery by noon - right now I'm sitting on 94% still.
