[Q] Am I running stock kernel? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

So I flashed JB twice, originally one of the early roms that were quickly developed 'Vicious Toro jelly bean', then secondly what was advertised as stock with just wifi, gps fixes based off the stock developer build.
The kernel version reads "3.0.31-ge8de0e2 [email protected]) #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Jun 19 11:26:52 PDT 2012"
Is this the stock kernel version?
I can say that jelly bean is nearly perfect in my eyes, speed and small ui tweaks have been huge improvements. With the exception of My Verizon somehow getting sent down, all the vzw bloatware is gone, and for this simple reason I may not take the ota when it comes available.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give

Well it doesn't matter, as you'll not be able to accept the OTA because there won't be a CDMA OTA to the software you're running. Effectively, you have a GSM ROM but with all of the CDMA radio parts from 4.0.4... which just isn't a combination that is going to be targeted for an OTA because it doesn't exist in the pathways.

Thanks again for the info. I try to run stock as often as I can, and only take advantage of leaked builds and such.
I know I'd have to flash back to vzw 4.04 to get the ota, which I likely would have done if this build wasn't so raw even though the build revision will likely be newer whenever vzw releases jb. Anyway thanks again.

[Q] Question About Recent Kernels SalvageMod <----Risk of being Skewered

:sigh: Okay, so
I would label myself a newb struggling with linux in general. I have experience with the Sprint EVO 4g and android system since Oct 10. First question:
Which kernel may be best for my Rom
(I have tried Calkulin, CyanogenMod, Deck's, SalvageMod, Supersonic. I have found the Current ROM to be more stable than all.)
Android Software:
2.3.3
Baseband
2.15.00.05.02
Kernel
2.6.35.10-g13578ee
ktc-kernel and18-2 #1
Wed Jul 20 18:06:16 CST 2011
Build (HTC STOCK DE-ODEXED)
4.53.651.1 CL133994 release-keys
Software Number
4.53.65.1
Browser Version
Webkit / 533.1
PRI Version
2.15_003
PRL Version
60681
My REAL Question is this:
Since I purchased the phone Oct 10 and rooted it that night using ADB, UnrevokedForever and installing AmonRA Supersonic Recovery I have not met a single person in my area that has done quite what I have done. I met ONLY one person with a rooted phone so far and he could not tell me how he did it or what ROM he was running.
Odds should have dictated that I would run into at least one person by now!
(I have seriously considered walking into the SPRINT store and trying to talk to one of them!!!!!)
I have questions, comments, perspectives on hardware and software, questions about development, themes, etc. But NOONE to talk to physically!
I try to read as much as I can on this forum.
Anyway I live in the NYC area and would love someone else to talk to in real life to bounce ideas back and forth. At the risk of being skewered,
PM me if you can talk over the phone.
Thanks in advance,
Ryan
I know when I go to the local sprint store, everyone was either running a rooted evo or rooted epic. Might not be as crazy as you think

[Q] Worried HTC One X User

Hello everyone I just wanted to ask you guru's for some advice pretty please. I recently got a HTC One X on Vodafone in the UK for me and a SG3 for my wife and I am starting to seriously regret getting the One X because I have been having some issues and my wifes phone has been awesome.
The issues I have been having is the battery life being much worse than my old phone (Desire HD) also the phone getting warm/hot on the back at the top left.
Here are the details of my phone for reference:
HTC One X - White
Tegra 3 Quad Core Version
Vodafone UK Network
Android Version: 4.0.4
Htc Sense Version: 4.1
Software Version: 2.17.401.2
Htc SDK API Level: 4.23
HTC Extension Version: HTCExtension_403_1_GA_20
Kernel Version: 2.6.39.4-g090b42e, [email protected] #1, SMP PREEMPT
Baseband Version: 2.1204.135.20
Build Number: 2.17.401.2 CL89015 release-keys
Browser Version: Webkit/534.30
Has there been some fixes released at all? or is my phone buggered? I have thought about putting a custom rom onto the phone to hopefully fix it, is this the way to go? If it is what is the best ROM to pick up at the moment with the least amount of issues?
As I have never flashed a new ROM before I have a few questions about it:
•Can you backup your old stock ROM before you flash because I assume flashing a ROM voids the warranty
•If I flash a ROM like RENOVATE will it effect my abilty to take pictures/video and use Wi-Fi or vertain apps? As I have heard Radios and other stuff not working right or something.
•I guess I will have to root my phone before any flashing, is my software version rootable?
Sorry for so many questions I just don't want to seriously fluff up my phone, I think myself as a pretty advanced android user but ROMs and flashing is a bit scare because I dont want to end up with a brick for another 2 years.
Thanks in advance

We have 3 One Xs.
1-My Old (Dropped in water) (WWE)
2-My new (India)
3-My wife's (Korean)
Any of them doesnt have a heating problem
And battery life is better than my old phones (Desire s,sensation,gnex)
Have you updated your firmware yet?
I remember the earliest firmware 1.26 had a TERRIBLE overheating problem. Later releases pretty much fixed it.
It's not buggered mate, they are famous for geting hot when being pushed hard.
Battery life is questionable on stock. If you switch to a custom ROM, you'll generally see an improvement in battery life especially if you switch to a ROM like Cyanogenmod 10 which doesn't use sense.
You will lose Sense benefits like the excellent camera features AND if you flash a custom rom you assume warranty responsibility. Even if you flash a recovery rom, HTC will still know you've unlocked it.
All variants of the One X are rootable and there are excellent tutorials available depending on your needs.
I did it, and haven't looked back since. Cyanogenmod 10 in particular is incredible and feels so fast and fluid in comparison with stock builds.

Fixes released? - HTC has released updates, but in general we don't really know what their updates really fix
Buggered? - No
Custom ROM will fix your problems? - In my experience, yes!
Best ROM to fix your issues - Personally I'd suggest OrDroidX or ARHD ROMs (ICS).
Warranty? - Will void your warranty, but personally I think this doesn't matter that much as long as you're not a klutz
Yes your phone is rootable/flashable/whaever.
You'll probably be wondering whether to go with ICS ROMs (eg. OrDroidX) / JB ROMs (eg. CM10)
ICS:
+ better battery life (very significant - can reach 2 days with 5 hrs+ screen on time depending on kernel)
+ more stable
- performance wise it's enough, but not as fast as JB ROMs
JB:
+ extremely powerful performance
- not as stable
- battery life sucks (lasts me 16 hours - about 2 hrs screen on time)
ICS: I recommend OrdroidX
JB: I recommend SlimBean
Custom Kernels:
1. Bricked - amazing battery life, low performance
2. Faux - less battery life, great performance
3. Ncx - somewhere in the middle
All these are based on my experiences

looks like the latest to me man.
Anyway, much has been fixed as you're running the latest version atm. You can backup your current ROM before installing a custom one and flashing a custom ROM should only enhance features, not affect them negatively.
i do get heat issues when i game, thats about it.
Thank you very much for your advice guys I definitely grow some balls and install and try each of those recommended Roms. You guys awesome and thanks for all your replies
I only got "overheating" issues on stock rom (vodafone / The Netherlands), after two updates the Hox was not gettin really warm anymore.
On Renovate rom i never had any issues! It never gets to warm, and battery life is awesome. Normal use gives me more than two days of use!
So don't worrie and enjoy the Hox!

Where do you get the lateset baseband driver? Mine seems to be capped at 14 meg per second despite I am right by the Los Angeles city.

Well...
Try the UCAMC3 modem...It just came out a week or so ago...and did give me an improvement in signal...see below...g
Edit: you should be running the UCAMA4 rom to use this upgrade, as you need the updated RIL files to match the radio image....IMHO

I believe you can flash1 any rom as long as its for the I900 and not from another company.there isnt a problem flashing down from 4.1.2 to 4.1.1, howwver I remember reading that say if u flashed to a romm that was 4.2.2 and u would need to do additional stuff in order to downgrade properly.. lab rats rom is a good rom just be sure sure before you flash anything to make a nandroid back up. Im currently running virtue (a). I love it and have been running it for awhile and thinking of trying a new rom..
Hope this helped.
The advice that I give is to just relax and take your time in reading before rom'ing. Now that you're rooted you can do all kinds of stuff to make your phone run better. Do a search for "root" in Google play apps. It will show you apps that only work on rooted phones. Also read read read the threads in all the note 2 forums. Rooted, rom'd and themed my s3. Rooted the wife's note 2. It's still stock and she loves it. BUT DO NOT FLASH A ROM THAT IS NOT MADE FOE YOIR VERSION OF PHONE OR PHONE CARRIER!
Enjoy

[Q] Been Out of Modding, Need Help

Hi- I've been out of the phone modding scene for quite a while now and I've got an SGH-T999 that I've dug out of the closet to use for a single purpose. I want to use it for an app called Dash Command. Here are the specs for the phone:
Android version 4.2.2
Baseband version T999UVDMD5
Kernel version 3.4.45-cyanogenmod-g7884a21 [email protected] #1 Sun Jul 7 22:1604 CDT 2013
Paranoid Android version 3.65
Build number pa_d2tmo-userdebug 4.2.2 JDQ39 eng.ayysir.20130707.22054 test-keys
Team Win Recovery Project v2.3.0.0
Here's what I need to do:
I installed Dash Command but it just freezes and won't run. Since I'm not using the phone for anything else and in fact I've disabled all of the gapps (except Maps) on the phone I am wondering if I can just move to a basic ROM and kernel. Since I've been away for so long I have no idea what to use. I need a lightweight setup. What would everyone suggest? Please suggest away!
Thanks in advance!
