Yeah gotta get everything figured out again. Not sure the best way to go from GB to ICS is or whatever its running to ICS.

[stonehenge]

coworker accidentally accepted OTA update on DX :facepalm:

in order to get root back, I'm gonna have to:

- SBF to older Milestone X build
- Root that w/ ZergRush
- Flash a DX rom to get back to VZW softwarez

Since he insists on having the stock hotspot (hacked, he's not paying but doesn't want to use the wifi hotspot app...), I have to flash a modified version of stock blur. :blahclap:

[MikeH]

what an idiot. tell him to use OTA Root Keeper next time.

[stonehenge]

:roflmao: well he didn't accept it, he has been ignoring it. He removed the upgrader.apk that moto uses but it still was prompting him. I was going to take a look at it and get the notifications to stop but over the weekend he let his son play a game and the kid accepted the update. By the time he noticed, it was already in recovery installing.

Tis a lil kid, foo didn't know what he was doing, probably thought it said "wanna play game? yes or no?" :jester:

[MikeH]

tell him to use OTA Root Keeper anyways. it stashes a copy of SU so you can restore it when shit like that happens.

[SarkOzy]

Yeah gotta get everything figured out again. Not sure the best way to go from GB to ICS is or whatever its running to ICS.

Pretty simple.

1) Make sure you're on the EH03 baseband - http://www.imnuts.org/downloads/fascinate/odin/CI500_VZW_EH03_GB_CM.tar.md5
3) Push CWM4 with ODIN - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=669652&d=1311907538
2) Download and flash this - http://www.enderszone.com/ics/teamhacksung-ota-eng.BUILD2.zip (you can't flash straight to AOKP or CM9 without flashing that "build 2" first to partition the phone. Dunno why)
3) Wipe data and flash AOKP + GAPPS. http://goo.im/devs/aokp/fascinatemtd


AOKP comes with the Glitch kernel now (use the official AOKP rom, not the "Glitched Up" version) and I've found the Conservative governor with 200-1200 clock speed is best. LiveOC just wastes battery and makes the phone hot.

[MikeH]

whats different between glitched up and non then?

[SarkOzy]

They included a few bullshit apps here and there for no apparent reason, and random shit like a weird boot animation and startup sounds.

The official AOKP builds after 32 have the same RAM tweaks as the glitched up version.

[MikeH]

boot sound? fts. think i might just run CM though for its simplicity.

[stonehenge]

boot sounds plz die

[SarkOzy]

CM :blahclap:


I'm still holding a grudge for them purposely holding up AOSP developed on the Galaxy S phones.

[MikeH]

I ran AOKP on le GNex because it had certain things that I preferred but those things dont really apply to the fassy. Unless Gummy is still doing builds, then maybe run it.

[JayBo]

Im tired of bionic.

is dull.

[SarkOzy]

Yea, Gummy is still going too. I think these CM9 nightlies have the right kernel to add RAM but not the Glitch bullshit.

[MikeH]

the glitch kernel is posted separately?

[SarkOzy]

Yes, it's separate. BUT it's incluced with the official AOKP builds as of Build 32 and I think the latest Gummy has it as well. Also those CM9 kangs have the glitch kernel.

Only Sbrissen's "Build 8" (he's the CM maintainer after JT jumped ship with the teamhacksung fiasco) has the "stock" CM kernel.

[stonehenge]

Well there really isn't much difference between the Bionic and the Razr except for a little different design and slightly better screen. The GNex would give you a 720p screen, ICS, and plenty of rom/theme options if you choose to go that route.

Yeah, the GNex is the only phone that would give him any sort of real change since it has vanillas ICS and a higher res screen. The Bionic isn't old enough that current phones are THAT much more advanced. If he HAS to update then the GNex is probably the best phone but with his history of randomness (which seems to get worse when he roots) I'm not sure if the GNex is the right fit. :jester:

[SarkOzy]

First of all you need NSTools. It's in the market. I've played around with every governor and Conservative is the smoothest by far. I leave the scheduler at "Deadline." Don't worry about undervolting.

First page in NSTools, make sure the LED timeouts are maxed so the BLN works, or not if you don't want it. Fast charge works the same as it did on the Nexus.

http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g194/06cs/Screenshot_2012-04-23-13-38-33.png

Like I said, Conservative governor is best. Set your minimum voltage to 200MHz since 100MHz makes the GPU run at half speed and hurts idle battery use. I don't use the LiveOC system since it caused so much battery drain for me. Deep idle can cause instability if you use it, but can save a little battery. I don't mess with the extra settings at the bottom.

[SarkOzy]

Na, it doesn't even register on the battery stats after a day of use. With the AOSP they use a different BLN system than the old TouchJizz based stuff did.

I'd imagine servers are getting slammed too

[stonehenge]

The apks uploaded pretty quick from my phone, but they weren't very big. Also, in order to copy files from "My Drive" to the shared folder, you first have to drag the shared folder into "My Drive", then you can move things to it. Kinda weird lol

chriz how mash ur monthly thingy?

[SarkOzy]

Like $75. :fp:

But I haz unlimited data and text. TMobile has a $30 monthly 4G plan that I'd jump all over if they had any damn coverage. 5GB of data unthrottled and unlimited text with 400 minutes of talk time. That's what you need to be on since you already have a GSM phone.

[Cez★]

Damn. Didn't want tmo prepaid :excalibur:


At $75 u may as well has contract :lol:

[MikeH]

Straight Talk is $45 a month for unlimited everything. Although their data really isnt unlimited, if you use a lot they will cancel your shit. You can use TMo or ATT towers depending on the type of SIM you get.

[stonehenge]

get both SIMs and shove them both in there, haz moar towers

problem?

:bogzno:

[SarkOzy]

There's nil coverage with straight talk though. I personally hate paying Verizon $30/month for unlimited data and another $30 for talk and text but I need the coverage. Verizon uses the same network for prepaid so I get the same coverage.

They scale fine Mike. Only side effect I've seen is sometimes the nav bar will get enabled, but it can be toggled off in Rom Control.

[MikeH]

Even with stock AOKP and such it will get turn on? Because I just went through AOKP and CM9 and they both use xHDPI images.

Also, it be ok to use mms.apk from other phones?

[SarkOzy]

No, the nav bar isn't there in AOKP or CM9 when you first flash, but some themes I've flashed made the nav bar appear on reboot. The images have always been fine though.

No idea about the mms.apk

[MikeH]

I just swapped the bools.xml in framework. Youve never used a theme from another phone that had themed mms?

[SarkOzy]

Yea and it worked fine. I thought you meant side-loading an mms.apk from another ROM or theme.

---------- Post added at 03:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:44 PM ----------

From what I understand only the GNex themes will work, because the framework is the same due to being CDMA.

[MikeH]

I just took lucid and edited the framework so it didnt enable the navbar but wasnt sure if some things didnt work. Should have everything good for tomorrow.

[SarkOzy]

Yea, hopefully. If it doesn't work then you could just flash the regular theme and turn off the nav bar. IIRC it's turned "on" by default but doesn't show up in AOKP. I always enable the power-button menu option to display nav bar settings and manually un-tick it there too. Probably doesn't make a difference but it makes me feel better. LOL

Think Im going to need a new battery though. My options are;

Stock battery for $4
Anker battery for Epic Touch $12
Stock battery for Epic Touch $15-20

I think Im going to go with another stock one since its so cheap. I'd like to get a bigger one but dont want to spend that much on it.

I also had to run the data fix about how way through restoring my apps and I dont even have that many.

[SarkOzy]

Did you restore data? That's probably why because the partitions are different. I've never had to run the data fix unless I forgot to clear my browser cache for like two weeks. I have 37 apps I restore with no problem.

[SarkOzy]

Might add the /datadata partition only stores app data, not the app itself. So restoring data by mistake would cause it. The YAFFS2/MTD partition won't play nice trying to restore data from an EXT4 or RFS setup.

3 things about my AOKP so far

no camera picture preview screen
scrambled letters/subject/messages at some points
scrolling down a new gmail/email the text disappears

[MikeH]

Yeah I restored that shit, wasnt about to go through and set everything up manually. Everything has been good since running the fix though.

[SarkOzy]

You'll have to wipe data and restore without it eventually lol. About 2 weeks ago someone did the same thing and woke up with a bootloop that required odining back to stock. This partition layout is funny.

I'll worry about it if that ever happens or on my next flash :jester:

I really dislike all toggle options in AOKP on this phone so I will probably be switching pretty soon anyways.

[SarkOzy]

Which toggles did the gnex have? I assumed they were all the same except the fast charge on the SGS.

Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk 2

[MikeH]

Same but they look like shit on this screen size. I prefer the CM style toggles.

[SarkOzy]

Ah. Should be an official nightly any day. Gummy works great too

fgt tracking for TP still hasnt updated since it shipped :emo:

[stonehenge]

Usps?

[MikeH]

Yeah. It probably wont be delivered today. It always at least updates once it gets to Boise or here in town.

[stonehenge]

USPS is usually fast enough and reliable but their tracking sucks dick :rofl2:

[MikeH]

Expected date was today but for whatever reason they have been a day late on everything recently. They must have did some cut backs or something.

[stonehenge]

Well they are definitely strapped for cash and planning on cutting employees, saturday delivery, etc but I dunno if they've done any of it yet. http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/senate-approves-changes-to-the-us-postal-service/2012/04/25/gIQADpovgT_story.html?tid=pm_politics_pop

[MikeH]

I remember seeing that a while back. Whats weird is that everything I ship gets there on time, but anything shipped to me takes a day longer than it says.

[stonehenge]

prob boise fgts are like

Bozeman? :bishplz: *throws it in idgaf pile*

[MikeH]

I'm in Idaho Falls again. When I had shit shipped while I was in Bozeman it always showed up on time.

Thought about flashing Gummy myself. I'm halfway addicted to the weather panel though

Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk 2

[MikeH]

Weather panel can suck a dick. Battery on Gummy seems a little worse so far. I flashed that kernel you linked as well.

[stonehenge]

I always see weather apps/widgets/panel and be like OOOoooo!! but then never use them. I keep Weatherlove installed for the few times I actually want to check the weather but it never really matters here rofl

[SarkOzy]

Yea if I had a weather Widget I'd use something else but I hate having something huge on the homescreen. I love how AOKP does the weather personally. It's a very OEM like application. I'd be surprised if CM doesn't do something similar since they're going with a more commercially oriented approach.

Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk 2

[stonehenge]

The weather panel is very well done and looks official :imo

I just never use it so it wastes space in my notification bar :jester: but that's the beauty of it being an option, not something we HAVE to use.

[SarkOzy]

Yea, true.

how does it look with the 3G bars being broke or whatever?

[SarkOzy]

Dunno. Haven't flashed it. Last time I tried it the bars would show 3/4 but not 1/2 bars.

Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk 2

[SarkOzy]

Btw this is about average for screen on time with the stock battery and screen brightness at about 75% and a 200/1200 clock speed with conservative governor. An sgsii battery might get another half hour.

I'm not even going to get 2 hours and I haven't even used my phone much. Think I'm going to switch off Gummy since it seems to be more battery intensive for whatever reason.

[SarkOzy]

Ouch.

Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk 2

[MikeH]

I lied. I'll get over 2 hours. I'm a couple minutes away now and have 25% left.

[SarkOzy]

What CPU settings were you on when you had problems with b34? I started playing with liveoc and had a couple of reboots within 30 minutes. It's been stable up until then and since. Liveoc seems to cause weird shit to happen.

Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk 2

what you told me to run. I was getting them on gummy too but I switched to glitchassv2 and its been fine so far.

[SarkOzy]

Interesting. I was still using conservative but it went nuts with liveoc. Build 33 might be more stable.

I was only getting them while scrolling though. Never got them while doing anything else. So Im not sure if it's related to the scrolling cache or what.

So apparently my phone hates being overclocked, I dropped it back down and don't get reboots. The apps will just FC when the cache build up. Also going on 3 hours screen on with 30% left.

Thought you switched to AOKP, but word to what Juan said. Flashed M5 on TP last night and now flashing on Fassy.

[SarkOzy]

Mike, I caught a post that mentioned M5 should be more stable on le Fassy due to the free ram being reduced. So far so good for me.

Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk 2

Saw that as well. Phone has just been sitting here but later on I'll test it. I seriously think my issues were with being overclocked. Not sure why I was getting the FCs on Gummy last night though.

As for the gmail/email I'm afraid i can't really help. I uninstall both upon setting up the rom. Kinda happy gmail isn't in gapps anymore one less thing to uninstall haha, although most people use the gmail app so I'm not quite sure why they don't include it. Anyways back to the problem. I run all my email accounts including gmail through k9 and have never encountered any problems whatsoever. Works much better than the stock email app imo and no point in running an extra app(gmail) just for one account when k9 works so well, but that's just me.

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/17181-aokp-vivow-april-9-build-31-404/page__st__260#entry653337

to me it just seems like installation of another program to take place of something that is already doing a task. :shrug:

[stonehenge]

If I had any problems with email/gmail then I'd do that but the stock apps work fine so :shrug:

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

[MikeH]

Think he was saying instead of having to use the stock email app in conjunction with gmail you can use kmail for all your accounts in 1 app. which makes sense if you have yahoo, hotmail, gmail and whatever else accounts.

[race2c]

The only emails I use are:

college email (remove may 12th)
college training center email (remove may 12th)
gmail

[stonehenge]

I have 2 gmail accounts and my work account which is exchange. I actually like having the gmail app and email app separate. But I could see how some people would like it all in one app. It's also nice to know that removing GMail doesn't fuck anything up when it comes to your GMail account being logged into the phone.

[race2c]

I should mention all my emails are actually google/gmail servers. Although the college email accounts end in "@murraystate.edu" they are actually the smtp/etc servers as a regular gmail. :shrug:

[SarkOzy]

Downloading all the stuff to deal with Bryant's phone this Saturday. He's on 2.3.3 so I shouldn't have to downgrade it and lose his data before getting it backed up.

One thing I don't quite understand is most of the ROMs in the development section say you must have the "EXT4 Touch Recovery" installed yet the Hack kit installs CWM........I did see a jootube video of a ROM being flashed from CWM and installing the EXT4 so I guess it'll be okay.

Bryant knows this could fail and brick his phone yet he still wants to do it, so I guess we're going to try. :rofl2: It "should" be okay, but there's apparently a pretty decent failure rate. Hopefully all goes well.

Kinda thinking of getting this case: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Silicone-Gel-Hard-Bumper-Case-cover-for-Samsung-Galaxy-Nexus-GT-I9250-/150784811629?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item231b79a26d#ht_2635wt_1020

It's just a bumper but it's a nice one. Covers all the edges, has black rubber on the front lip and over the buttons, will feel nice and thin since theres no back on it, and honestly most falls/drops are going to hit the corners/edges. It's not TPU so it hopefully won't discolor too quickly either. :chin:

Plus only $4 :jester:
