Boot Manager.

Hi. I enjoyed using Boot Manager on my Evo 3d, so I decided to try it on my Nexus. All I can say is wow! So much faster then on the Evo, I'm guessing its do to the speed of the internal storage. Anybody else using it?

I tried it but it FCs when I open it.

I installed it and it didn't FC on me. I have yet to use any of the functions though.

I have aokp, cm9, miui, and paranoid android installed with it and love it so much.....

Been using Boot Manager for some time now and it is by far the best money I have ever spent on an app. It is the crackflashers dream come true. I had an Evo 3D as well and yes it is faster on the GNex and yes it is because of the internal storage. Roms in Boot Manager slots will be just as fast as your Phone Rom and slot Roms can be used as your primary Rom. I moved to VZW when they got the GNex and not Sprint and when I first got it Boot Manager didn't support the GNex. Needless to say, I was excited when they added it to the supported devices list.

Wondered where you went, remembered your posts in the Evo 3d forum. How are you enjoying your Nexus?

This app is SICK!!! You can have as many ROM's as your 32GB phone can hold. I've heard of boot manager back when I had my EVO 3D but I had never tried it. Wow I was missing out.

How do you switch? Does it load up your nandroid back ups to switch between roms? Sounds like a good app

You can have it restore to a slot from a Android or you can just instal a rom to a a slot just like you would to your phone.

You just install a zip to the slot and hit the "boot rom" button and it'll boot to that slot. You can have like 10 roms in 10 slots and boot to any one of them...without wiping your primary rom.

It is awesome. I use liquid 1.3 as my phone ROM and paranoid Android in the first slot. Paid for the app to test other ROMS. Apparently it does have an issue with Franco kernel in a SD ROM.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA

Used it on my Thunderbolt as well as my Gnex.
Currently I have stock as my phone rom. One of my slots is CM9 with just a few apps in order to minimize battery drain while on vacation. I play with other rooms as well.
In the past I had a from with nothing but games, and another with the other stuff. It was nice to not have other apps and notifications messing up gaming (and who cares about work email on the weekend anyway!)
Also nice to have a sandbox to mess with anything new/questionable.

Has anyone figured out how to solve some roms not having access to the SD partition? I really want to have AOKP installed, but if the virtual SD doesn't work its kind of useless.

I've noticed this as well. I can access the SD partition using Redemption ROM, but not on Liquid Smooth or Paranoid Android. Could it be an issue with the Franco kernel?

Confused about going to JB

Hi guys. all these threads and stickies about JB are confusing me.
I am not an expert at installing ROMs, but I do have my phone withÇ
-AOKP Milestone 5 (maguro),
- clockworkmod (not sure what version)
- FrankoKernel.(milestone 2)
- su.zip
And I do have ADB from Galaxy Nexus Tookit, so I did backup everything!
I would like to go to JB, still have Root access. Not sure if I should go to AOKP, its fast and good on battery usage, but been a pain for acquiring 3g data...seems I have to put it in airplane mode and back to normal to get data on 3g working.
So, I am thinking of going stock JB from Google that way I get updates from Google themselves.
Where should I start?
Thanks

If I were you I would flash a stock rooted jb rom version JRO03C that is the Google factory image one and see if you like it. Aokp is just doing nightlies now and they may not have the stability you are looking for yet.

Depends, I personally uninstall it first thing just because even if I loaded it with cash I feel I would never use it, as most places I go don't support paying with NFC, but of course that is just me.

You could also try a rom created with JB source, like CM10.
No need for the OTA updates from Google if you've got a ROM running.

I don't think that the op flashes roms very often, so I'm assuming that they want something completely stable which means cm10 is not an option yet.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Thanks guys, that's correct I don't flash Roms often at all! Well good news I am now on JB as I wanted. So far liking it a lot...battery is not as good as was expected.
Can I flash a different kernel, would that help? Or any other tweaks?
Otherwise...no problem, I pretty much have rechargers everywhere I am...home/work/car!

Trinity has a pretty good stable kernel but only flash it if you need the extra features and overclocking capability.

(Q) Rooting the GSM GNEX

so I'm considering it but I don't want to mess it up! Is it easy? Is it hard? Does it get much faster than stock 4.2?also does it improve network speeds I drop signal every now and then and I wanna flash a different radio... I've been routing for years but I just lost an s2 due to a sticky power button :/.. Is that a common issue with the galaxy nexus also?

Judging from your signature... it should be easy for you to hack your way into the Nexus

Thanks guys!.. Well I was checking being I bought this phone from someone on xda I went into recovery mode and turns out it already has CWM lol so I assume that it all I have to do is flash any room for the gsm gnex and ill be alright
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Pretty much, although I would recommend updating your recovery to the latest CWM (6.0.2.3) or TWRP (dunno what version that's on at the mo) - especially if you wanna use 4.2.x

Forgot how smooth stock is.

So I have flashed many roms on my nexus. The last being xylon. That and purity ak kernel did great for a long time. After awhile with every ROM though it began getting laggy and started having FCS . I decided that I was going to restore my backup. While I was debating what ROM to flash next I couldn't help but notice how stable and snappy my stock backup was. If you can do without customization the stock ROM really is nice. No disrespect to the developers.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

I'm done with custom ROM as well. I've been running stock for over two months and I love how well the device performs overall. No less of data, no crashes, no headaches. I haven't been visiting this website like I used to because I do not need to troubleshoot my phone constantly. Flashing ROM can be an addiction.

I can second that. Flashing is very addictive, I update all major custom roms whenever new build is released but eventually I restore my stock backup. The only feature from custom roms I really miss is t9 dialer. I don't like third party dialers from market. I tried to fix it by myself, never successful though. I like the smoothness of our stock which is unfortunately little affected by deodexing in our beloved custom roms. That's the price of customization / theming.

Yeah, since JB the stock image was always smoother. Plus it's flash and forget, in the custom ROM's you're always wondering what's new.

How have you all reverted to stock ? just flashed a deoxed stock ROM or really reverted to stock and no root ?

I guess probably stock + root at least.

I agree with having root for blocking adds. Adaway ftw!
I myself am getting sick of flashing roms...something always happens when ya either update the rom or custom kernel.. Love the snappy feel of stock everything is so smooth.
But i have to say stock + root + nova launcher with all animations off for faster the light speed = Beastly. Only reason i cant go back to stock is because my my volume down key doesnt work after breaking when replacing the usb port.
So i cant take screenshots and ive tried all different types of screenshot apps and they all suck. So im loving aokp's option of adding the screenshot button to my navbar it really beats the option having it in the power option because ya can take screenshots of ya toggles if need be etc.
Anyway yeah as soon as i get my hands on the n4 thats when ill be running stock + root + launcher i think.

If you purchased a GNex, and are an XDA member, I guess I can't see the reason why you'd keep the phone stock. Lag, the occasional FC, etc. will still occur even on stock; normal maintenance and a few tweaks minimize these regardless of custom or stock.
Admittedly, there's a good case to be made for slowing down the # of flashes during a day/week/month. Typically, there are two types of flashers: those who flash for aesthetics/customization, and those who flash for noticeable gains in performance, batt. life, features. Fortunately, there are developers on XDA who cater to both groups....some even pleasing both groups @ the same time. More often than not, however, there is a lull between Android releases, which produces more ROMS geared towards customization. This contributes to the "bored" factor, and ultimately, threads such as these.
With no disrespect to the OP, if you're content with stock, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that, and stock+root on the GNex is more than capable of providing a good Android experience. But, holding this phone, and subscribing to these forums leads one to the assumption that you're @ the very least CURIOUS about opening up the possibilities of this phone's capabilities.

New radio and RIL for stock 4.2?

I'm thinking about putting paranoid android, CM10.1 or AOKP on my girlfriend's t999.
1. Do I need to flash a new radio?
2. Do I need to flash a new RIL?
3. Do I need to do anything else before flashing a stock ROM?
Thank you for your help!

Thanks for the quick reply. I meant AOSP based ROMs. My bad. And for my Galaxy Nexus, I needed to flash newer radios and RIL files to run the newest 4.2.2 Roms coming from 4.1 I believe.

Yes its similar not all the time, but on certain updates they are asking people to update to latest OTA firmware to run latest AOSP roms. Read this here

I sort of miss my nexus. Great phone and a lot of ROMs to choose from. I miss how easy it was to switch the housing if you accidentally damaged it or if you wanted to change the color of the housing. I wanted to order another grey housing and make it matte black but I never got the chance or time to do it.
Some recommend to, but I haven't had any issues by not updating my radio.
As for roms, it depends what type of person your girlfriend is. I'd say download the ROMs you mentioned and let her use each one for a day or two and see which one she prefers.
