[Q] Which ROM/Kernel should I install for Galaxy Nexus

Hi Guys,
Just a few questions..
1. What ROM can you recommend to install? Currently on Galaxy Nexus GSM 4.0.2
ICL53F.I9250XWLK2
2. Same thing as ROM..
3. What are the other things that I need to customize my Nexus?
TIA

I use 4.0.4 stock rom with popcorn kernel, here are my benchmark with this combination

Stock was 6108

i highly recommend using AOKP... it comes with Faux kernel baked in.. great combination... amazing devs and support... here is the link...

hi guys, thanks for your suggestions.. Now, I just successfully installed AOKP. However, my big problem is that my camera didn't save images/videos.. I am now on the panic mode.

Are you using stock camera? Also, what kernel are you using?

3.0.8-gaaa2611. that's my kernel version. I haven't install Kernel updates here. What do you mean by stock camera? <pardon for the noob question> My phone is already rooted/unlocked.

What were your instructions for rooting? (Assuming you weren't rooted before you posted this)
Your root method may have wiped everything

No, i'm using gallimaufry. I'm surprised too, I didn't expect such a high score

Check my sig to make sure you're installing the roms correctly.
Post two will detail it.
A "stock" camera is the camera that comes pre-installed. Not one from the play store.
I'm on AOKP, and can confirm no such issue.

I think my camera started malfunctioning <didn't save images/videos> when I wipe data due to I forgot my screen lock pattern <yes, I forgot! WTH>. Then, I flash AOKP b29 to see if it will solved my dilemma but it didn't. Last resort was, flash original stock ROM from Google website. Now, I am back to stock ROM.
@Jubakuba: I follow your procedure before, but when I tried to re-install Titanium Backup <free> to restore apps, it didn't succeed and prompts error which is something like code:32.

[Q] Which is the best Root?

Hello m8's just got black friday 49.99 deal for Sprint Samsung Galaxy and have a brand spanking S3 out of box.
Now I have not turned it on so should I go ahead and let it update to JB then root away?
Also which is the sure shot best rooting overall with CWM Recovery and able to apply different roms other than stock?
I seen a few so far there's...

Just did this yesterday. It couldn't have been easier.

What about updating while on root, will I be able to update to JB?
Great input m8's really enjoyed you guys reassuring me on the right road plus Qbking77 is legendary...
now what about updating while on root, will I be able to update to JB?
don't know if its already as JB out of the box, website Sprint states JB on it.
can JB be also rooted like ICS?
Thanks again friends, now just got to start researching battery saving Roms.

If you root using the first method, it give you the stock rom with root access, then you can flash any rom after that, be it ics or jellybean.

IMEI is 0 -- ODIN restore?

Sadly, it seems my IMEI has been set to zero.
I can still make calls and text, but my data is on Edge network only.
I've been doing some searching and reading (by some I mean a lot) and I guess I'm getting a little confused in it all.
Would using ODIN to reset my phone to stock fix the IMEI?
I have the IMEI on a sticker on the phone, could TMobile reset the IMEI for me?
Thanks in advance.

Swap it if you have insurance. If not search xda for fix.

Yes Odin will fix the Issue. Please choose correct firmware to flash via Odin.

Thanks for the response.
Trying to confirm I get the RIGHT rom for my device.
Went to sammobile.com/firmwares/
Looking at all the options for SGH-T999, do I have to made basebands to what I have now (T999UVDLJA) which is dated Oct 2012, or is that something that gets "updated" if I apply the latest rom (March 2014)?

Depends on what you had before all these problems. You must choose that same version otherwise you may hard brick the phone.

*sigh*
And I suppose there's no way to know that? I don't have a back up or anything...
Is there anyway to determine?
Thanks for your help and direction thus far!

Oh Sure. There are other ways to determine. If possible post a photo of the download screen. Otherwise type out exactly what you see when the phone is in download mode.

I'm assuming that is the info you were looking for?

Yes that's what I needed. I suggest please use UVDMD5 Version of Root66 to flash via Odin.

Excellent.
So follow directions and get files from here?: http://www.androidayos.com/2013/05/...y-bean-without-binary-flash-counter-increase/

Well. Yes. I'd direct you to the Thread here under Android Development.

Yeap. The link I posted actually takes you back to the link you provided.
Both bookmarked.
I hope to do this tonight.
If I understand this correctly, this should flash my phone back to stock with my valid IMEI
Using this Route66 I will have root on the phone and should then be able to do a CM install if I choose?

Yes and yes.
If that is your desire, then while you are in Odin, flash a custom Recovery such as TWRP or CWM as well.

... I will have to research on how to do that too then.
First concern is getting the IMEI back so that I can actually USE the phone with data -- regardless if it's CM or stock OS.

As the UVDMD5 will have correct modem, hopefully that will restore IMEI. Otherwise we may have to see what happens.

hmmm sort of seems to have worked... stuck at the "SAMSUNG" screen though.
Reading other links says I should have cleared cache before doing?

Hmmm cleared cache.
Did factory reset.
Still stuck at pulsating "SAMSUNG" logo...

Ok got into phone... ugh is stock ROM just painful. Who designs these things?!?!
Sadly, IMEI is still set at 0
this doesn't seem to have worked

ARGGGHHHH Are you serious? Googling now, but this looks much more complicated compares to Odin
Can't TMobile just restore the IMEI if I take it to one of their stores?

Just received the warranty replacment for Tmo Note 3

Ok i'll keep this simple. I just got the tmobile note 3 replacement. And now I want to transfer everything over.
But first please point me with links and directions to how to do this quickest easiest and fool proof.
I'm not sure what firmware this replacement will have if its the latest NF1 when i boot i up with tmobile
Tell me there is a simple way to give it root and more importantly change the recovery to TWRP latest version.
I'm hoping there is a 1 step solution/windows app that will do all that. I just need tha done. THen I will just swap the microsd into the replacement and load the entire image stored on the card to the new phone. Is it really that simple? please let me know what I'm missing.
Don't tell me the NF1 carrier upgraded devices can't be unlocked. please i have no idea how to do this, don't just point me into the right threads, I have a disability of sifting thru info i am legally disabled. Pleaes help me make this transition as easy as possible.
My deepest thanks.
Hpe to hear from as many knowledgable feedback soon for me to get this done so i can send the defective back to tmobile.

Do you mind me asking what is wrong with your phone?
You can always Odin back the replacement phone to ne6 and make sure you do the bootloader too, and then use towelroot to reroot. Then just use titanium backup to back up your stuff from your old phone (assuming you already have root) then restore on the new phone.

Is it normal for everything to be NF except the baseband is still stuck at the old one. Is this normal? Is there a 900T NF1 bootloader? I heard nf1 HAS A NEW bootloader, but i can't flash it up to it. I've attached a screetshot.
Also, I CANT TETHER FOR FREE NO MORE! On my old note 3 with any ROM that doesn't do the tmobile tether turn on check, I can use tether unlimited by connecting to a proxy on my computer, but now for osme reason, it always redirects me to an upsell page just like on tmobile's official ROMs is there a new way around it? When I connect to the note 3 AP on my computer it automatically says theres "limited connectivity" please help, I want it the way of how it was on my note 3, does it have to do with the new radio? or is it something else? thanks.

Stock Rom Stripped of Bloatware from Samsung Repair Center

I recently got my S6 back from Samsung. They untripped knox, and installed a very slim rom without any of the sprint bloatware, and no sprint splash screen. Is there some way I can back up this rom to be able to flash it in odin if/when I need to?
Thanks!

TWRP

You can back up everything if you flash TWRP recovery and select the backup option it comes in hand but other than that i dont believe you can do it without tripping Knox again

Thanks for the reply, that's unfortunate news. I really don't feel like tripping Knox since I would like samsung pay to continue working.

You can try ADB Backup. A good set of instructions can be found at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/general/guide-phone-backup-unlock-root-t1420351
No guarantee that this will work, but it should not trip Knox.

Please post a system dump of this b3fore you do anything. PLEASE

Is it oi1 build ? Ive sent plenty phones back for warranty and samsung never did that before . Trip knox , so what? Samsung warrantys phones like that all the time . Just tell them you took it to the samsung experience shop at "BestBuy" and they tried to flash the operating system to get the phone working properly again. Id tell them it kept rebooting after you updated it through wifi to 5.1.1 . Youll never have an issue with them if you explain it to them that way . Give us a new build lol
