Is there a way to force a single app into tablet mode? We just got Comcast Anyplay and it works fine on tablets, but not on my GNex. Is there a way I can make just the Xfinity TV app think my phone is a tablet?

Install Gentoo posted:Are there any good ICS or JB roms out for the HTC Inspire 4G? If you're down with MIUI you can try miui.us for their ICS Rom. Link to release thread here. I used it for several months and really liked it, it's beautiful and the ICS ui upgrades are slick as gently caress. It did lock up on me every once in a while, necessitating a battery pull, but other than that I didn't have any issues with it. I've recently gone back to CM7.2 for a slight boost in speed and stability, but if you're looking to sample ICS on an Inspire this is my recommendation.

No I'm saying that most peoples who actually give a gently caress about that kinda stuff will probably be following the CM G+ account already. \/\/ Way to stuff words down my throat. Believe it or not I do actually care and happen to follow CM on G+! I can't believe I'm actually having to clarify ripping on loving android police which is perhaps of the worst bastions of lovely tech reporting out there in android land.

Surely you admit that Android Police is an incredibly niche blog for people who care about poo poo like CM nightlies. Sure, when CNN reports from Twitter that's funny, but Android Police is a nerd site for nerds breaking nerd news.

Has anyone tried the new jellybean MIUI release on their Gnex? I've always liked MIUI for the themes and popover SMS but I'm concerned it's not going to be tougher on battery and not as smooth as stock.

So the only ROM for the USCC SGS3 is AICS? Or did anyone push some sort of CM10 nightly to these phones and I didn't notice it?

I'm currently using the Euroskank CM10 nightly builds for my Sprint GNex, I wonder if I have to do a full wipe or if I can get away with just dalvik/cache going from this to the CM10 official nightlies.

Are any Nexus S 4G (or I guess GSM ones too) users here using TWRP 2 recovery and have had problems? When I first got my phone a few months ago I went to restore my stock rooted nandroid from CM9 and it couldn't boot. So I reflashed it in fastboot and what not and was ok. Then comes today when I just tried out the cm10 nightly and went to restore my stock rooted nandroid from last night because of cm10s issues, and it failed to boot. Specifically would dump me to the boot loader and at the top it said "Fastboot- no boot partition or recovery partition found". I definitely had it back up all partitions. I switched to CWM 6 touch but I've always felt leery of CWM after some of the trouble with it back in the EVO 4G.

LastInLine posted:I'm not the biggest CWR fan but TWRP did push a recovery which wiped the /efi folder on the GSM Nexus S so their track record isn't the greatest. (That erases the IMEI on GSM phones making them all report a generic code which carriers will block.) Well that sounds like fun. It makes me miss Amon Ra's recovery on the EVO 4G. That thing always worked exactly as it should have.

I had pretty good luck with Clockwork Mod till Koush decided to start pushing out updates which would bootloop your phone. This was around the transition from 2.4.5 to 3.0, nevermind "touch" recovery. I've since moved over to 4ext recovery and it's pretty nice. Very stable, very informative and it marks your backups with date/time/current rom information. I'd highly recommend it if you're supported.

LeftistMuslimObama posted:Anything special I have to do to remove clockwork mod before I put 4ext on my phone? That said there is a folder on your SD card or internal storage called clockworkmod where your backups are stored that you won't need if you're changing to a different recovery. For those of you with low speaker volume on the Galaxy Nexus: Who among you is brave enough to try this horribly described fix? The OP is the usual xda thing where it's described in very vague terms by a non-native English speaker and the feedback received is a jumble of people who have no idea what the gently caress is happening at all so who knows if it works or not. Hopefully one of you guys feels brave enough to try this.

LastInLine posted:Recovery sits in its own partition. Flashing a new recovery formats that partition and replaces it with a new one, so no, you don't have to "uninstall" anything. I'd rather suffer with low volume than use something from someone who has this in their signature:  (ok, I'll do it if someone non-retarded tries it out first)

Thermopyle posted:I'd rather suffer with low volume than use something from someone who has this in their signature: What it seems to do is install DSP Manager from CM (along with Apollo for some reason?) and somehow that's supposed to do something? I really don't get it but I tried a phone call and text message before and after and both my wife and I agreed that there was no change regardless of settings and the max volume was in fact very quiet. I enabled DSP to be the sound manager, I enabled the Speaker EQ and cranked all levels to the maximum and got nothing. On the plus side, CWR6 seems to work quite well and is very attractive if a little too OSX/iOS looking.

Thermopyle posted:Anyone here using something like SSH Tunnel or some sort of VPN thingy to encrypt all their phone net traffic via their home PC or a VPS or a dedicated VPN provider? I use ConnectBot with a Dynamic Socks proxy over SSH. I don't encrypted all traffic unless I'm running over public wifi though. I'm not sure if you can do it with cellular data. Edit: As for my own rooting questions: I got the Galaxy Nexus GSM last week and it's amazing. I've unlocked, installed CWM, and I've rooted. 1) If I backup with CWM, it puts backups on /sdcard/clockworkmod - is that safe? Do I need to actually copy the backup off somewhere before flashing another ROM if I ever decide to? I thought flashing would format /sdcard too, but I'd love to be told otherwise. 2) Google Wallet is complaining that my device is now unsupported. Is this something I actually need to worry about, or is it just Google being especially careful? 3) Are CM10 nightlies worth running? Right now I don't see much reason to switch to CM since I already have Jelly Bean. I've never been able to run it before because my phones in the past have all been locked and relatively unsupported by the mod community. I'm not quite sure the advantages of it other than getting faster updates on your phone than you would from the manufacturer. Frozen Peach fucked around with this message at 04:34 on Aug 20, 2012 |

For the Inspire 4G folks, Are you guys enjoying the Blackout ICS 3.0.0 ROM? Honestly, I think it's laggy as heck and I have to set Rosie to Ultrasmooth in order to use a functioning homescreen. Going through the menus is really slow; a lot faster on stock Gingerbread. Anyone else getting this too? The previous JellyTime ROM I had was the smoothest I've seen on an Inspire (my mom prefers HTC Sense over stock Android). ----------------

LastInLine posted:Well get ready to love because flashing a ROM doesn't touch internal storage ever. Fastboot flashing a stock image, however, will. Does this mean even installed apps will stick around? Or do I also need to be running Titanium backups? If I do start going ROM happy, what kind of things do I need to do to avoid bricking my phone permanently?

I'm pretty sure it's impossible to brick a gnexus permanently from ROM flashing. You should be fine as long as you don't go flashing ROMs for other phones.

You really can't brick a Nexus unless you somehow damage the bootloader because you can always fastboot flash a stock image. Just backup in CWR before you flash something and keep recent Titanium Backups on everything and you'll be fine, there's very little you can gently caress up beyond repair.

When you flash a new ROM you need to wipe /data so you lose all your apps. Ah, so then I even need to run Titanium to reinstall apps after flashing my current backup? Good thing I asked! I thought the backup in CMW was enough for everything.

What you can't do with a recovery backup is anything else. You can restore everything to exactly the way it was or not. You can't selectively restore applications or their data, you can't restore just your system settings, you can't do anything other than erase everything on the device and replace it with whatever was there before. Furthermore whenever you flash a different ROM you have to wipe everything. Going from stock to CM? Everything is wiped. Going from CM to AOKP? Wipe everything. Anything to anything else? Wipe. So if you want to preserve any app data at all you have to restore something and that something is kept in Titanium backups. Bear in mind you cannot restore system data between ROMs as it will break everything (requiring you to restore your nandroid backup). Make sense?

LastInLine posted:Make sense? Ah, so the Nandroid DOES have applications and data? Okay, that's what I thought it was. Last 2 questions (I hope!): 1) When you say you can't restore system data, does that mean anything with a red or green title in Titanium? Is Titanium smart enough to be like "this can't be restored" or should I just be careful not to do something stupid? 2) What do I need to do about stock OTA updates? Have I already made it so I can't get those any longer? On my past phones all I'd do is install Voodoo Root Keeper and make sure I used it to backup and restore root. Is that enough to be safe, or does having CWM mean I have to do something special to get the next stock update?

Excellent. Thank you very much for the extra info. The OTA thing is the one reason I haven't done anything at all to my Prime. Unlocking it takes away OTA updates, and most apps can be backed up using the ASUS built in backup app, so it's less of a big deal. Hilariously, I didn't intend to do anything but root the Nexus and it wasn't until after I started that I found out rooting it required unlocking, and from there I just went all out with CWR and the works. I also didn't realize that unlocking wiped the entire system.  Oh well, I'm glad I did!This phone is loving amazing.

Google recommends you not use Wallet while being rooted, I guess because it opens a security vulnerability. It will still work just fine (I'm rooted on my Nexus S 4G and use wallet all the time). It's just them covering themselves if something goes wrong.

LastInLine posted:Right now CM10 is much less feature-complete than stock Jelly Bean. You can either have camera mods or Picasa sync in the Gallery but not both, other sync problems exist too, and some other minor things are broken. Like you I don't see a lot of reason to move either since stock Jelly Bean is so good. Some reasons you might want to once it's done (most of these have not been merged yet): Quiet Hours, inbuilt LED notification customization, inbuilt notification power widget, inbuilt dialer mods, lockscreen weather/shortcuts/calendar, statusbar mods, volume fixes, or 180 degree rotation. While I want some of those, the broken or missing features have never been worth dealing with to get them but your mileage may vary. Herein lies my conundrum. I'm using a Sprint Galaxy Nexus, and am currently using the Euroskank nightlies. I'd like to just flash to a stock Jelly Bean ROM, but XDA is just chock full of "optimized" and "lean" builds that I just can't bring myself to trust. Does anyone have any idea where I might just be able to find a plain jane Jelly Bean ROM for my loving toroplus? CM is pretty nice, but as you say, it's a little short of being fully cooked.
