Listen, I've been around a bit, you know, and I thought I'd seen some creepy things go on in the movie business, but I really have to say this is the most disgusting thing that's ever happened to me.
I'm running the latest CM10 (JB) nightly on a t-mobile galaxy nexus.

Since upgrading from ICS to JB, I've been unable to speak a destination for Navigation -- as soon as I hit the microphone icon, the app crashes with an unhelpful "google voice search has stopped responding". This happens with the google voice search from the desktopp Google search bar, as well.

I've tried flashing the latest gapps on top of my device, which did not help at all. How do I troubleshoot this further?


edit: updating google search through the play store fixed me up.

Ok, since I din't get much (or any) response about Samsung exynos 4412 based custom ROMs, I have another question:

Is there anyway to find out/extract the drivers for the specific hardware components of your particular device? I see that there are roms for Samsung galaxy 10.1 (aka exynos 4412 based) but I have a feeling some of the other components of my tablet (wifi, battery, screen) run on different drivers or whatever they are called for android. Even though I really have no idea how to recompile a Galaxy rom with my drivers instead, if I could at least figure out how to extract them/identify them, it will be a useful first step.

Anyone have any experience with this?

Ignore me, I read SG3 instead of GNex.


As a side-note, I'm using CleanROM 6 on my d2vzw, and from using it for a couple days, the battery life is great! I can barely deal with TouchWiz though... I'll probably be dealing with it till Android 5/4.3/whatever hits the scene though.

I have a Galaxy Tab 2 (GT-P3113), but I really just want plain ol' stock 4.2.2 on it. I've looked around a bit but all I can find are custom ROMs with stuff added to them. Is there any way to get AOSP 4.2.2 on my tablet short of building it myself from source?

Is there a homescreen widget that can control the CM10 torch app that doesn't look froyo-tastic like the one included?

I'm not looking for any flashlight app with a good looking widget, I like how cm10 has the long-press-a-button (menu for me) on the lockscreen to turn on/off the led, it's got another way in the notification power widget, and a homescreen one that's ugly. The beautiful thing is they all 3 work together, they each know when you turned it on or off with another. If I put teslaled on my homescreen it doesn't realize the led is already on from one of the cm10 ways and vice versa.

Having a flashlight built into a cell phone has been one of the most important things to ever happen and I seek to enhance this experience. Cell phones invented: 70s to early 80s depending on how you look at it. Flashlights: way the gently caress before that. Them merging together: only about in the last few years.*

*I had a nokia 6682 years back, the only phone I'd ever seen back then with an led camera-flash. I have no idea if there were symbian apps to do flashlight stuff. I would like to think if there were I would have had one.

I never found a widget I could tolerate the look of, but newer nightlies have an option under settings > security to enable torch on long press of the home or back button from the lock screen. Hidden out of sight but accessible without even unlocking was my solution.

Oh I've got that too, it's in my stable ver from nov or dec I'm just wanting to go for the hat-trick of lockscreen + notify shade + a non-ugly homescreen one.

There's a fixed build of CM M3 out and it runs fantastic on my S3 now. Definitely the best performance on 10.1 yet.

What backup apps can I use before I root my phone? I saw Carbon recommended but it's not compatible with my Desire Z (which Google Play has detected/listed as an "HTC Vision" and won't allow me to correct since Desire Zs aren't supported by Play.)

After that, if I'm following things correctly, I should be using Unrevoked to root it, then CyanogenMod 10 as the new ROM? According to the settings, it's currently running Android 2.3.3.

What happens in the course of duty is up to you...
I don't think there's anything you can do to backup your phone on gingerbread pre-rooting. Also the Desire Z is the market name for the HTC Vision, so that's as it should be as well.

Yes, the very original d2 M3 releases were borked. They weren't bricking devices, but wouldn't boot. I'm not sure what the exact issue was--possibly out of sync proprietaries (missing M3 tag?). Anyways, the builds were taken down and replaced with good ones, so if you've downloaded them "recently" they're fine.

Should anyone had downloaded one of the borked releases, flashing the new M3 on top should fix it.

Also, a notable change for the d2 series is that CM is using a 3.4.x kernel now, following a pretty fantastic effort to rebase Samsung's changes on Qualcomm's reference 3.4 tree. Folks have been using it for a whlie so things should be pretty stable. I did have one panic/reboot a few days ago, which is unfortunate but not awful.

If rooting the Vision is anything doing the same on a G2 (and it probably is), I'm pretty sure the root method isn't destructive meaning you won't lose your data in the process of rooting it and once you're rooted you can back up before wiping and applying a different ROM.

e: I may have only rooted on Froyo now that I think about it.

So far, the only issues I have with the 3.4 kernel are a slight "crackle" noise about 15% of the time on system sounds. Also, battery life seems to have taken a very small hit but that's negligible.

Seems like my reception actually got a bit better though.

I have a G2 which is the same phone. I had to downgrade to the Froyo image that it shipped with in order to root it, then root it, so yes it was destructive.

I don't think CM10 is officially supported on such an old phone. I used Mimicry for a while, but flashed ElitemodICS yesterday and am really liking it.

It takes some pretty involved tweaking to get ICS and beyond running smoothly on an 800mhz single core.

I'm using Apex Launcher and what I'm trying to do is set up a 3x3 grid with an iOS-like aesthetic, relatively large icons and minimal wasted space between them. However, when I set up 3x3 with large icons in Apex, I get large vertical gaps between the icons and the top row clips under the notification bar. Changing the "margins" setting seems to have no effect.



Anybody have any idea how to address this?

Just use TWRP instead. I switched a couple months ago for this very reason, and it seems to work better than CWM generally anyway.

For awhile there you had to donate to the developer to get the 4.2.2 update. Not sure if that's still the case but I just donated $1

Honestly just do it manually, it's easy. Let me find the post I made a while back...

...here. This is for an N4 but all Nexus devices work the same way. I have an N7 and rooted it exactly this way. Once you know what you're doing it's literally a two minute process.

Feel free to ask questions if you get stuck or need help. There is a distinct lack of good rooting guides out there other than the ones that say "use a toolkit". It really annoys me.

The worst pain ever!
So, I just got an Galaxy Note (the international version) to use as an backup phone.

My question is that I'd like to get a custom ROM on the phone, it should be able to:

1. Use the S pen
2. Be able to group the apps
3. Be able to resize the widgets (the ones that can be resized)

So, does a ROM like that exist (or am I just stupid, and all the above can be done in the stock ROM - well, the S pen stuff can obviously be done)?

At the moment, the phone is running stock with 4.1.2.

There are plenty of ROMs that retain S-pen functionality and multi-window. Such as this one (random sample, I know nothing about this ROM): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2042151

You don't need to install a custom ROM to do all three of those things. Just install a custom launcher on your current stock ROM. Try installing Lightning Launcher from the Play store, it will do 2 and 3.

If you still want a custom ROM with s-pen features, you would have to find one that's based on Touchwiz. You can try one of the ones under "TW based JB ROMs":
