That's because Roman wasn't doing much when 4.1 dropped and AOKP went to shit. He be back now and everyone has said the quality is definitely back as well.

i never liked plumes UI, idk what it was. I tried it several times and always ended up uninstalling it. It had all the features and wasn't buggy or anything but I just didn't like the UI.

[stonehenge]

that's interesting, slim never softbooted that i can remember but aoskp did a lot when i first flashed it and wednesdays build has done it once so far

[chevyrado14]

Ever since I flashed that crap rom the other day mine softboots alot. did it 3 times yesterday when I was trying to open goomanager.

Thinking about doing a clean flash. Think that'll help?

it cant hurt. when mine was acting fuuny the other day after dirty flashing aoskp over official aokp i did a clean wipe and refalshed aoskp and have had zero issues since.

Can one of you on AOKP take a photosphere and see if it stitches correctly? Mine come out HORRIBLE and are flat, I can't view them as spheres. I remember the first ones I did showing a notification saying that it was preparing the sphere or whatever, this time I saw it for a few seconds and then it saved the nasty non-blended flat version lol

[chevyrado14]

mine did the photosphere but the stitching was horrible but then again i only took like 8 or 9 pics of my desk lol

[stonehenge]

so did I, but mine isn't horrible in the sense that it didn't blend well since the pics are up close. the pic it gives me is low resolution and it has made NO attempts to blend anything. I tried to share it to imgur or imageshack and it isn't working. :blah:

Mike, which prepaids have you tried so far? Still not sure if I should switch or just suck it up and get an upgrade when the next one comes around and say bye to Nexus phones forever :emo:

dfw cheaper + nexus but scared about shitty networks. AT&T has decent network but their prepaid costs more doesn't it?

---------- Post added at 02:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:32 PM ----------

For my future reference:

$70 unlimited everything (4G) (Tmobile)
$65 unlimited text/call + 1gb 4G data (AT&T)
$60 unlimited everything (4G for first 2gb) (Tmobile)
$50 unlimited everything (4G) (Simple on TMo)
$50 unlimited everything (4G for first 100mb) (Tmobile)
$49 unlimited everything (4G drops to 2G after 4gb) (Solavei on TMo)
$45 unlimited everything (random data throttle levels?) (Straight Talk on ATT or TMo)
$40 unlimited everything (4G for first 250mb) (Simple on TMo)
$30 100 minutes, unlimited text/data (4G for first 5gb) (Tmobile)

:chin: couldn't do the $30 because I use my phone for work. The 100mb of 4G sounds like it would go in no time, even if I try to stick to wifi, but I usually have 4G off anyway so it wouldn't change much. I've heard coworkers complain about TMo a LOT here in town though. :blah: which eliminates most of those plans...

That leaves expensive ATT or Straight Talk ATT. :hmm:

[MikeH]

Just straight talk and tmo, but tmo had shit data coverage unless you lived on the other side of town. if you dont use more than 2GB of data then st would be the way to go.

[stonehenge]

I tend to go over 2gb but barely and it's mostly because I forget to turn wifi on. I don't stream anything or watch videos so it must just be me forgetting about wifi.

[MikeH]

get in a habit to turn on teh wifi :imo

and port your number to le voice then if you get cut you dont have to worry much.

Wan, I'm going with T-Mobile prepaid for right now whenever the nexus shows up. Data coverage beyond EDGE is nonexistent within 100 miles aside from one city but it'll have to do until ATT offers a new prepaid plan. MVNOs go out of business all the time so I just can't risk it like that. I'm moving in late May and will have HSPA42 there, so it'll be worth it in the end.

No data coverage FTL though. Can't trust ST since they like to cut people off anywhere between 300mb and 5gb of data. To get anything decent you're pretty much tied to a mainline carrier.

Alright, Nexus has shipped and I should have it by Friday. The issue now is I've so thoroughly confused myself by reading guides to unlocking that I have no clue in hell what I'm doing. Lol. Reading the instructions for the ToolKit make zero sense to me so that's off the table and plus it may or may not work for 4.2.2.

If I already have the SDK installed, why do I need to install another driver package and "hope" it works with ADB? This shit might as well have been written by a 15 year old. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2018179

[chevyrado14]

wugs toolkit is the easiest thing to use imo. esp if your not familiar with adb commands.

[stonehenge]

It seems like people always give links to like 15 different drivers for any phone :rofl2: just try it without drivers first and see if adb picks it up, I bet it will since it's a Nexus and the SDK brings some drivers with it.

Then from adb:

adb reboot bootloader

wait for bugdroid with his chest open screen on your phone

fastboot oem unlock

select Yes on your phone, then go to recovery and do a factory reset. Pretty sure that's it, then put it back into the bootloader, put your recovery file of choice into your platform-tools folder, and flash your recovery:

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery IMAGENAME.img

That should be it. :shrug:

---------- Post added at 06:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:33 AM ----------

But yes, like Mike said, Wugfresh's kit is legit. Although I know there was a notice about it not working with 4.2.2 on his webpage, he DID provide instructions for making it work and he may have even updated the toolkit by now.

[JayBo]

Phone went crazy this morning!
After Feb 19 build of aokp the alarm didn't work. Kept FCC. So this morning I was going to flash back to Feb 12 build and roll until clock was fxed.
Goomanager kept telling me I had an update, but was lying.
Flashed Feb 12 and gapps build and phone bootlooped forever. Had to flash, reflash, wipe, reflash, and it finally worked.

I've been on Adam's 4.2.2 build since he tweeted it a few days ago. Besides an FC every now and then on random apps (mostly the Simpsons game rofl) it is great. My photosphere even works now lol

However I did turn on TalkBack just to play around and it made my phone angry. TalkBack kept FCing and would lock up my phone and not let me touch anything. Took forever for me to get back into settings to turn it off.

[chevyrado14]

i havent had any issues with the feb19 build other than the alarm clock fc. which wiping data fixed. also the stock kernel was lacking alot of features so i flashed tiny kernel.

[stonehenge]

The build I'm running is from Feb 15th: http://goo.im/devs/adamthecashew/aokp_toro

The stock kernel on that one is LeanKernel. So far so good.

Jay, if that build gives you trouble again, try the one I just posted or give Jellybro a shot.

[chevyrado14]

i saw yesterday too that cm is real close to having hdr working on builds.

[JayBo]

This bit acting craaaaazy,

Some of the statusbar toggles I have activated aren't showing up at all, anywhere. Even unchecked, and rechecked them. Rebooted, etc.

This build does not make me happeh. I think it's time to try something else b/c these last few builds have been kind of sloppy

[chevyrado14]

i noticed mine was missing the fast charge toggle and it was because the stock kernel didnt support it anymore. i flashed tiny kernel and its all good now. the stock kernel on the feb19 build sucks balls no color control, hardly any oc options nothing.

[stonehenge]

Try the one I posted Jay, it hasn't given me any issues. Toggles all work for me.

[JayBo]

All mine have worked up until now.
I'm downloading the one you posted as we speak.


Kinda weird. Everything worked up until I updated yesterday. Then alarm stopped, but now wont allow me to flash back without bootlooping. And when I reflash Feb19th, its acting stupid. :nonobro:

I expected bugs with this build since it was 4.2.2 but surprisingly I didn't find any, it behaves nicer than the last AOSKP I flashed :jester:

Okay.
Toggles work, clock works (after it FC'd once I cleared data like mentioned) and now it works. All apps work like they should. The Feb 19 build was only recognizing 91 apps out of the 171 installed, or however many it optimizes in the beginning.

luckily the Fassy has finally made her realize that she doesn't need a keyboard, so I can get her a real phone when her next upgrade comes around. Probably an S4 since it should have decent dev support, lots of accessories, etc.

Just keep in mind that this feature is only available through CM's own modified camera and that it does not (at least on my Galaxy Nexus) support both HDR and Photosphere. If you are using the camera/gallery app (gallerygoogle.apk) from the G-apps you flashed with CM then the feature will not be there. The easiest way to get it is to move or delete gallerygoogle.apk from /system/app before updating CM and after you will see CM's camera/gallery app in it's place (gallery2.apk).

So it's photosphere or HDR but not both? :blahclap:

OK need some help. My bro got a galaxy nexus and is complaining that it shuts off after being on the phone for a while. He said it also does it after unplugging from the charger. I unlocked it and put a ROM on it for him and it still acts the same. I'm gonna get him to do a log cat the next time it happens to see whats up. Kinda sounds like a bad batt to me after thinking about it. Any other ideas?

yeah, sounds like a bad battery or many even something causing it to overheat or something.

When it shuts off, does it boot back up right away without problems?

My brother just got a GNex too :jester:

I guess it could be, I flashed the rom I linked to, flashed the normal 121212 gapps from goo.im, and that's it. I setup all my settings, restored apps, and applied a theme and whatnot but I didn't change kernels or anything that would change how things sync. Not sure what's up with yours brah. :(

In rare circumstances, the Nexus4 may get into a state where it may not boot at all after the battery is drained ( even into recovery ). If this happens, the only way to restore it is to disassemble the back of the phone and unplug/plug the battery connector.

N4 up and running. Seems to be doing well. This thing is HEAVY. Holy carp. Unlocked it last night in a daze around midnight. Running CM10 now but might try something different later.

Another thing, TMobile service seems to be MUCH better than advertised around here. EDGE isn't bad for loading stuff (bored standing in line at hellMart and such) and something I wasn't expecting, you get roaming on ATT. Can't find it documented anywhere. No native TMO coverage at home but full bars of ATT (phone even says connected to ATT HSPA:10) even though it's roaming. Voice/text work fine just no data. Can't find it advertised anywhere.

Having full roaming on ATT makes this a MUCH better solution than I realized. I can deal without having data or slow data as long as I can call/text when I NEED to.

Well after all that I wound back up on CM. Nothing in PA really makes it worthwhile right now. I'm pretty sure the Fassy is about to melt from so much tethering today. Definitely happy with this thing, though. My main worry with T-Mobile was coverage, and that's not a problem with roaming included in the $30/5GB plan.

I know a lot of people wanted to be able to use the nav buttons with the SPen so that sounds nice. No price yet.

Finally decided to try franco kernel for the gamma tuning. Screen looks so much better.

Also did a few speed tests in downtown Columbia yesterday. Speeds were around 12-16mbps but the ping times varied from 20ms up to whats attached. There was a USC game going on so that may be why. Pretty happy with it overall. Only a couple of places in rural areas I've had no coverage on T-Mobile or ATT roaming. Edge seems plenty fast for browsing when I'm in those areas too.

Speedtest would never fill the screen for me either. Not sure why.

[SarkOzy]

Since Google disabled gamma adjustments in 4.2.2 the only real way to manually adjust the colors is with a custom kernel. Kinda hate that. One guy is compiling stock kernels with different gamma presets but it's still a work in progress. I thought I'd left all this screen tuning stuff behind with le Fassy.

:okay:

Custom kernels really don't make much if any difference on this device so I'd rather just use the stock one if I can.
