First of all, I know I am in the general section when I should be posting in the thread of the current rom I am running. But the forum will not let me, it says I have an insufficient post count to post in a development section which is where thread is located. (I think this is a pretty stupid rule, especially when a person like me who lurks these forums and uses it to find roms to use, and when that lurker needs to find help they cannot post in the appropriate section ; end rant).
Anyway, onto the boot loop problem. My current phone setup is : ParanoidAndroid 1.9.7 for the ROM and Trinity kerenl with 1344Ghz cpu clock and 304Ghz gpu clock.
What is happening is a boot loop at the Google screen. The first time this happened, my on screen navigation keys disappeared and when I tried to reboot my phone it boot looped. To fix it i had to do a clean install (I still have access to recovery when this happens). That was about 4 or 5 days ago, and I was fine up until now. This time the navigation keys didn't disappear, it was just a normal reboot that I did because when i plugged my phone in for the night it didn't display that it was charging, this is a normal thing for me and all it takes is a reboot and it will display charging status. Except this time when I went to reboot it, it boot looped at the Google screen again. I heard that a dirty flash of the rom may help, but I am not sure about this, and I don't want to screw my phone up anymore than it is, other than that I am pretty stuck as far what to do to fix the problem goes.
If more information is needed or if my explanation is unclear just post.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I was actually downloading 1.99 as I was typing that, and I was not aware of a fix for 1.97. What was the fix exactly? If it was for a boot loop problem I will feel like a total moron and sorry for wasting everyone's time.
Its CDMA.

The Andromadus Team is working on Jb from source, best posible way to expirience jellybean as it should be, follow there progress/releases here
Here it is guys jb for our beloved g2, this rom is based on the gnex jellybean leak that we saw couple days ago, right now rom is as useless as the word could posibly describe it, the rom boots just fine, but it seems the launcher does not like being render in software mode so it crashes non stop, i tried other launcher they dotn seem to work ether, im just posting this so maybe someone else can help me, to ether get launcher working in software mode or getting egl acceleration working, for this will we mostlikely need a 3.0 kernel.
Again bare in mind this is pretty much useless, and its not much fun to use, untill we solv the launcher issue, dont expect this to be a daily driver any time soon
Working:
Touchscreen forgot to mention this
It renders and reaches lockscreen thats about it, im sure i can fix more, but theres no point if we cant get the launcher working.

That's not nice of you at all....
The thread proves that, unlike what a lot of people who knows little to nothing about programming say, JB can be ported to the G2 and it can boot.
First thing first. Stuffs come later.
@siulmagic: awesome at least it boots!
@siulmagic dont sell yourself short! It takes a lot to get something like this to boot! I am sure after a while someone will get something else to work. Like taz , he is a great porter!
lol i did not see those ads on the website, will upload somewere else, my bad haha.
I knew it was only a matter of time, n they said this wasn't possible? Sure there's issues and bugs but its still in the alpha stage.

I said "ASIDE FROM THE FACT". you misinterpreted.
I would have thought JB would have taken another year for anything to be on Desire Z.
I'm just learning these past 3 years and by no means unfamiliar with personal ports from other devices but took a look at doing something similar for my device for personal use and was humbled very quickly. It's the accomplishing of seemingly impossible tasks large well funded corporations don't bother tackling by one user who solves it on their free time that make me truly love open technology. Kudos. Keep it Up. Many Thanks!

i can very easily get ril working but there's really no point, if theres no working launcher =P.
Hello all,
Long time lurker, just wanted to share an issue I had.
I've flashed nearly every ROM that is out there since I got my SGS3 and have never had any GPS issues, however this weekend I used it without a problem but Tuesday all of a sudden turning it on and off still produced nothing...not even the increased battery drain from having GPS on.
Here's what I did in hopes that it can help someone or at least give some knowledge as there wasn't a lot out there when I searched:
1.) Restored a previous Nandroid that I knew had a working GPS --- Result = FAIL
2.) Searched XDA and Google...found a video with some USSD codes for the dialer, etc.. ---- Result = FAIL
3.) Pulled battery and sim card, etc... --- Result = FAIL
4.) Flashed Wicked as I know that is a stable and highly used ROM. Everything great but still no GPS. ---- Result = FAIL
5.) Found a suggestion about clearing cache in google framework, Maps and uninstalling Maps updates. Result = FAIL
**however Play Store wouldn't let me update Maps when I rebooted as it said it wasn't compatible with my phone. No clue why.
6.) Finally I decided to do Triangle Away and Chainfires unrooting procedure to get back to unrooted stock. ---Result = SUCCESS!
Not sure what about it made GPS come back, however the next step will of course be to root again and see if there are any issues.
Hope this helps someone who ends up in my situation. Feel free to PM if you need more details.
Thanks to all
Edit: Just as an FYI -- when I rooted again, GPS was still back and I've had no issues since.
Thanks man, I like threads like these because you never know when you may need them. Same issue for me. On CM10 ROMs,I have trouble locking onto GPS, and the fix for me has been downloading GPS test and running that before using something like navigation.it's a minor inconvenience but it works great
Overall, if you have something borked, no matter what rom you use... no matter how many times you wipe... odin back to stock, should fix it always.

True, but honestly, that doesn't always work. I have a second SGS3 Pebble Blue 32GB, and it won't play nice with Lean Kernel/Ktoonz, unless it's the touchwiz based kernels, whereas my white 16GB runs all of them flawlessly. They were rooted and booted the same way, and they both have the same GPS issue.
Out of curiosity, what's the chainfire way of going back to stock?
Also, do we have any guides here/on youtube that detail how to odin back to stock. I'm gonna give it a go on the blue one again/cross my fingers hoping I made a mistake, hence why I want a guide lol! *Searches*
thanks for the info jpk17!
saved us a lot of time here for whoever has that issue in the future.
can you provide the link to Chainfire's unroot procedure?
thanks!
Good to know but youcould have got straight to the point rather than writting five pages of useless stuff then saying something that to be honest is not any special invention anyways.

I love this thing!
The only time my gps was ever messed up was when i used a sprint leak JB rom and had the gps turned off. Flashed a couple roms after no gps whatsoever. Odin'ed with 2 or 3 different versions and still couldnt get the gps back.
Finally I flashed another JB rom based on the sprint leak and turned GPS back on and everything started working again. Lesson learned on using sprint leaks lol.
Had op's problem myself before, and full wiping and Odin'ing back to stock actually didn't work.. what did work though was after full unroot, doing tmo ota update.
Who knows, this info could help someone out as well..

Ok so i finally unrooted using above steps. Still no gps. Tried GPS Toolbox, GPS Test and the google navigation. Nothing.
What Im seeing is that the little Icon in the upper status bar never shows. Like ether it doesnt even see a SAT, or the receiver in my phone isnt even turning on.
If i cant figure out, i guess ill go back to Tmo....
Thanks for the help.
What I did was go to a stock ics based Rom then triangle away and then I followed the site that op posted. The download was ridiculously slow. Took like an hour for 690mb. That should do the trick. Do it in that order

HAHA funny, i actually did it EXACTLY like that. I tried a stock ICS ROM from wildchild and nothing. Then Triangle away, ODIN flash to stock with un root and factory reset and nothing.
If i wasnt getting lock, that would be different. But im not getting the little Icon in top left corner.
I have a friend with a Stock Sprint phone and his works in same room.

Only thought I had if I followed you correctly is you said you went to a wildchild stock. Maybe you need to go back to the older stock from the link that worked for osmosis and I?

I went to wild child stock just before i unrooted and went to Stock Tmo form the guide above. I didnt think that would have made a difference.
Im not gonna root and go to store, so ill go to store and see what they say.
The reason i went to the wildchild stock based ICS rom was hope that I wouldnt have to unroot....
Thanks.

Ported from:
Using Flykernel 13
Ported from HTC Hero CDMA froyo ROM by zenulator = http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834840
Problems:
GPS
Camera, open and see, it takes awsome pictures, artistic...
Notification LED and buttons backlight aren't working
Power menu shut down wont actually shut down the phone (LOL)
It'd be cool to have a reboot to recovery, fastboot menu..
Report if you notice any more bugs
If there are any devs that know how and are willing to fix some of these bugs, be my guest, if you manage to fix them post a patch and I'll incorporate them into the ROM
How to install:
---Download the rom and put it on your SD card
---Reboot to clockworkmod
---Wipe data, wipe cache
---Go to advanced tab/Wipe dalvik cache
---Flash the ROM
---Reboot and say hello to your new ROM
Tips:
Get Antutu CPU Master from market and overclock as much as you can, like always, change governor to smartassV2..
Get Spare Parts from market, open Spare parts, window animations and transition animations, set both to very slow, it will give you an animation that is slow till the app you wanted loads, nice trick for your brain

I'm using the latest Amon Ra recovery (I think it was 1.7 or sth). I wiped everything, and i flashed just the rom, nothing else. I flashed it twice, first i thought it was a bad download or sth, but the checksums were correct.
Also I needed to sign it, because at first the rom failed the check. I used Auto-Sign_v0.65 Maybe this can cause an issue?
In light of the newly-minted LuneOS alpha release, I was wondering if anyone had experience dualbooting webOS on their Galaxy Nexus? I know it's possible to do so with Android-based ROMs, but I want to keep my CM nightlies as a fall-back, especially since the LuneOS is in such an early stage and technically does not officially support the device (they're looking for community support *hinthint devs*). If you do, please drop a note with your experience in this area! Thanks in advance. :good:

Well,it would be cool,even with sailfish os,that i really love
Anyway for everybody who wants to try webos (LunaOs) http://webos-ports.org/wiki/Maguro_Info
I just saw the news on Engadget and came here to see if anyone was talking about this. I'm going to try this out since my GNex is mainly just sitting in a box now. I miss webOS.
The only thing I wonder about is that I have a Verizon GNex. If I don't use it for calls or anything, does it matter if I flash the Maguro version? I remember I was in the same boat with the Ubuntu phone port but I think I waited for the Toro port. I can't remember.

Wondering this as well.
they had, and still have the best multitasking on a mobile device i've ever used. it was just so fluid and intuitive. some of their features they incorporated are still ahead of their time today

Agreed. Has there been any other phone that uses a gesture area like they did? I loved that.

I looked for a long time, but nothing recent. there was one thing kind of similar, a few years back called 'itching thumb' http://www.xda-developers.com/android/use-itching-thumb-to-multitask-in-android/ but was discontinued long ago.
Yeah, well I just checked the comments on their official release post, and after some helpful replies I can (sadly) announce that there is no dual-boot support. Also, the latest build they have is a couple weeks old, since they no longer have a maintainer for the device The post is here, if any of you want to skim it . So at this point it's either flash a build that's dated, without a fall-back that would come with dual-booting, or wait and see

Yes, I just noticed haha my bad. I was just paraphrasing a comment off of the post I linked to. Shame there's only dual-booting available on the Touchpad (for now at least). I'll probably wait until the next stable release or so before diving in.

im flashing it on a toroplus right now, gonna let you guys know how it goes when it finishes. on a related note, make sure to wipe /system before you flash, because the updater script doesnt do that. i had cm11 installed on there before and forgot to do it, so im reflashing clean now.
also, it looks like at least some of the android file system is retained, so that means we may be able to get data working by pulling libs from a 4.2.2 rom. dont quote me on that, ill try it and see what happens when i get this thing to boot. I pulled apart the boot.img and nothing seems to be stopping us there either from what I can tell.
edit: as much as i wish this worked, dont waste time flashing it if your not a maguro device. doesnt boot on toroplus, prolly wont boot on toro either.

That's too bad. What are you getting when it tries to boot? Have you let it sit for a while before coming to that conclusion? Maybe it doesn't have any sort of booting indication.
Update: I ended up going for it, and flashed the stable build onto my maguro. Worked, but none of the apps would open again after I had closed them for some reason (If I wanted to open Preware 2 again, I had to reboot the device...). The dev build wouldn't boot at all after flashing, so I'm running on the August 10th stable build.

sorry it took so long to reply, but yep i waited 10 minutes for adb or any indication that it was going to boot. after reading drfandroid's post about getting august 10ths build to boot and not being able to get the newest nightly to boot, im thinking thats my problem too. ill try to use the one mentioned and see if i get different results.

Well that sucks. Hopefully someone picks up development for this device. I'd like to try it out eventually. I have an HP Touchpad but it has Android on it as well. I havent looked into it yet but installing this might need a full wipe. I don't want to go through the hassel of starting all over again. lol

You're right, flashing it on your nexus pretty much requires a full wipe lol. The Gnex doesn't have dual-boot capability for LuneOS (yet!! ). I asked in the comments of the announcement post. Fingers crossed for that, though! Really hoping a dev steps out and continues the project, even if it's just on the side.

Any luck with the August 10th build? My build can't activate developer options (Settings--> Developer Options, flicked the switch, still says "Developer mode is disabled"-->entered Konami Code into search, tapped on the dev mode result, nothing happened), so I can't activate USB Debugging or anything like that. On top of that, the phone takes forever to even boot into the Google screen, and I can't get into Recovery or Fastboot mode. In essence, even if I wanted to re-attempt to flash the nightly or go back to Android, I can't. I was hoping to go try the PA 4.6 Beta on my Gnex, so I was a bit gutted. Any ideas??

yep no luck for me here, mine just wont boot into it at all. I can still access fastboot though, holding both volume buttons from and power from completely off doesnt get you into fastboot? if your volume button hardware has gone bad, i know you can buy new on ebay for cheap, might have to do that. sorry to hear about your problem, and I hope you get it fixed somehow.
Hello everyone!
I made a stupid mistake of uninstalling my GO Keyboard app before disabling the input method. So I install the Google Keyboard app. But when I get to the point where I need to change the input method to Google Keyboard, the phone hard reboots, saying XPERIA then the boot animation. I tried everything but no luck.
Any help appreciated,
- cheesedude
Is the device rooted?

Yup, fully. I looked for an app like com.android.input to clear cache for, but I didn't find anything.
Typed from the terrible stock keyboard which changes to Chinese every few mins.

Lol XD, what kind of ROM do you run? Stock or CM based?
Stock D: My phone was £110 so I don't want any risks of a brick.
Any help? D:
Well thanks for the 'help' guys Seriously though you post on this forum no one replies for a day or so and then it is moved down to the bottom of the forum. And this reply thing is buggy as hell thanks for wasting my time and if Sony ever finds me, well screw you, you only take the popular. devices and update them, and leave the other devices to rot in bugs. Thank f***ing you, XDA, it took me 25 minutes to re type this because of your terrible website on mobile, and I can't change my profile picture from a terrible minecraft thingy to something proffessional. And before you people jump in and judge me as a 9 year old minecraft player, I am only pissed off.
Don't rage and factory reset.
