Boot Manager. - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

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?

Rooted questions. And some others

I've been out of the android game for awhile and now I'm rusty. What's the easiest way to root this thing? I have the cdma version on 4.0.2. Can I do it from the phone itself? Also it seems this phone does some awesome things others couldn't. Anyone wanna point out a few of the highlights? And how do you edit colors in a kernal? This phone is mind boggling compared to my incredible

You can root using that or do it the old fashion style,
1. Get drivers
2. fastboot oem unlock
3. fastboot flash clockwork recovery
4. flash a ROM
5. flash a kernel
6. reboot
7. play.
Thanks any suggestions on a kernal? I haven't found a from I quite love yet. I'm thinking about trying aosp but I'm kinda liking the phone for now.

Question- choppy/unstable Bluetooth?

K so when I fist got my gnex I could use it with my Bluetooth speakers from a far range I could be like two rooms away and could still here it fine and it would be smooth. That was stock. Now that I'm rooted and running aokp it is horrible. I can't be more than 4 or 5 feet from the speakers without it cutting in and out and being really unusable.... would this be the rom (aokp M5) or the kernel (latest Franco nightly)?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Could be either, especially if AOKP is using the wrong bcmdhd.cal for the device.

You answered your own question. Go back to stock if you need things to work properly. Custom roms are experimental at best, since they introduce all kinds of problems, including app incompatibility, hardware instability and broken features (like voicemail notifications not working).
Good luck.

Looking at it now.
Well, it is the right one. I know the Verizon version has been modified to fix choppy BT. It may or may not work for you. You are welcome to try it, but back up your current one.
Okay thanks I will try it when I get home

This is the first phone in 6 years that I've run out of things to flash...a good thing anyone else got that trouble?
I ran out after a week of having it!

Erm.. Flash AOKP and you won't ever be bothered to switch ROMs.
Some of the devs have nightlies, so no, i haven't had that issue! Always something new with a/multiple new feature/features. Plus with theme manager and the amount of roms supporting it, i can go straight on performance and then easily pick my theme.

When you guys flash new ROMs like crazy are you just counting on TI to restore it all quickly? Seems like everyone warns about TI restoring system settings yet people flash roms like crazy.
? I just use my nandroids. The only time I use titanium is for specific apps to carry over.restoring system settings can be problematic

I'd like to flash Provision, but I don't believe there is support for the i515, yet. I've been wanting to try Liquid Smooth, but AOKP just suites me perfectly...I'm scared to make the switch.

no, it was meant to provide clean android experience without skins and bloatware, and ease of rooting and unlocking bootloader for those who care about it
there's nothing wrong with flashing, but flashing several ROMs daily is kind of stupid, people end up not using their phone as a smartphone, instead it becomes just another toy

Nope, as a "developer phone", it's meant for developers to have a stable and clean platform on which to base and write their apps for

Liquid is basically the same as AOKP feature wise with a few more and the ability to choose between the notification power widget and the AOKP toggles

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.

ATT section has a new AOSP rom that can be used on our device!!!

Has anyone seen this yet http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2046616
I am about to try it. It says that it can be used on any of the lte versions of the note 2 sop we should be good to go. I just tried the cm10 rom they have and it looks good but I cant get voice calls to work so I have to drop it. (even tho I almost never use the phone part) Man I cant wait till AOKP comes out It is going to be a killer. but for now make sure you have All the backup you need. And I am not responcable read first and decide for yourself

Update okay I am using it now and it kicks ass. Finally aosp for this device and it is running great. Good enough to be a dd. Everything works well some minor bugs but nothing too crazy and the best part is there are some aokp parts and other customizations. Good luck.
I was using it but couldnt get bluetooth to work and its a mandatory thing for me.

Yea I haven had a chance yet to tty out BT but the font sizes are driving me crazy. I don't know if I can't fix it I might try the unofficial cm10. The font is too small I. The system settings but too big in the market I am not sure what he did but I need to fix it.
I'm running aokp for a few days and love it. You can change the DPI settings to 213 for all apps and it works great! I changed the keyyboard back 240 so it fits the screen right.
