Hello (coming from Skyrocket forums) - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hey Guys, just picked up my new Gnex (gsm) after using a Skyrocket for the past year... I gotta say this phone is incredible, build quality is just amazing and the way it feels in my hand reminds me of my old Nokia e71 (yea I know)... The only downside I see so far is the data speeds on AT&T are pretty slow compared to the skyrocket but ill live with that for now.
One question I have, I have searched this and have come up with no one really bickering about it but is it nearly impossible to root this if you have JellyBean installed already? I have been trying for the past two hours and just cant seem to make it happen using the toolkit in Android Dev stickies... Is there some kind of workaround im missing or is it just not out yet? Thanks in advance!

Yea, ive tried rooting about three different times and ive come to the conclusion it just doesnt work, either the USB drivers ive downloaded have some kind of update that needs to be rolled back, or my device is faulty as it says windows is having a hard time finding a hardware ID.

Finally Got This Phone

I used my upgrade from my Nexus S 4g and decided to come over the the S2 on Sprint. I intend to play with this phone till my wife upgrade is in August which she will take the S2 in hopes that I will get the S3 by then.
Been reading up on these posts on here and I think I got it but wanted to make sure.
1. I need to Odin to get root with el29?
2. Never flash, wipe, reset data in ICS CWM?
3. Is it me or are there no Kernels like AirKernel for this phone?
4. I plan to go with CNA as I had on my Nexus. Love that rom anything you would like to share about this rom?
Any advice on the questions would be great and to be honest I really only post here and there but I'm always on here. Been here since the release of the Evo 4G.
Thanks.
Thanks and it awesome to be a part of the S2 community. WOW.
Really feels welcome here......
You're sure to get help now, getting all pissy that someone didn't help you at 5:30 on a Sunday morning. Good luck

Wow, congrats to the E4GT community. You just enrolled another winner to the team.
How come no one rolled out the red carpet within the first few hours of this thread?
Glad I moved onto another phone, you guys really suck here
OP, you should get a GN. After my first post there, I was sent a 4 course meal from my favorite restaurant.
xda same as always...
Stoked to be here though.
Sort of asking for help, those are things that I've read up on. Just kind of a ice breaker more then anything.
Welcome to the party and congrats on the new phone.
The only question I can answer is #1, which is yes, to get an easy start just Odin sfhub's one-click EL29 for root, then read, read, read in the development section for all the goodies available.
Happy flashing and remember, if you brick your phone it's all on you.
1. I rooted just fine without Odin.
2. Yes it's also recommended you do that with most roms overall to avoid technical difficulties later on.
3. Idk what airkernel is, but there seems to be a limited choice if kernels for ginger.
4. CNA? Don't think I've seen a ROM called that around here but what do I know? I'm just a newbie...

You just have to have thicker skin over here, people may seem a little harsh at times (me included) but at the core of their comments you typically find the truth you needed. If you read around enough you'll see there are a lot of good people in this community. I'd suggest you start with the thread below to see what I mean.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1572184
Most important of all, just follow the #1 rule of thumb for the internet, don't take things personally and you'll be just fine.
Oh, also, don't expect anyone here to a)kiss your butt (well maybe iSaint j/k lol), b)hold your hand or c)pat you on your wee little noggin when you f*ck up because you didn't read and ended up bricking your phone. That is all.
Everybody moved to the Evo One. This place is a ghost town now.

Coming from a Evo then a Nexus S 4G I can't believe the trouble ones has to go through flashing roms that are ICS.
Odin is easy so that is nice but still. Seems like a lot of effort.
This phone is sweet. I just got to wait till I actually have time from work, kids and family so I can sit down and root this think and flash away.
Excited.
I can honestly say if it weren't for Odin and sfhub's one-click goodies I would probably still just be an observer on this forum. But he made it easy and then I learned to flash recovery and in doing so was able to start flashing Calkulin's custom ROMs. Although that's as far as I've gotten for now it's a long way from where I began and I'm excited for what's around the corner.

Once the source is released and official ota's are out im sure all the kinks will be ironed out. Development for ICS is still early for this phone. Using Odin isnt that bad, you can still flash a rom in about five minutes.

It may seem a bit overwhelming at first but it really is incredibly easy. Just make sure your CWM is stock (just flash CM7 or GB Miui), and then you should have no issues flashing ICS.
mobile Odin is your friend guys. as quick as a reboot.

Updates to Sprint Galaxy Nexus?

I'm really considering the Galaxy Nexus for my next phone. I'm just concerned about updates because of the crap that is happening with the lack of ICS for the EVO 3D. So, does the Sprint Galaxy Nexus receive updates as fast as other networks?
And, I don't root, so don't tell me to do that to fix updates.

Your outta luck if you don't want to root. Sprint sucks with updates. And we already have a port of jelly bean....
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
You're just waiting for Sprint to approve the updates after Google completes them. As with Verizon, it's going to take some weeks after the GSM model gets it for any CDMA model to get it.

We don't actually know anything yet. The Sprint Galaxy Nexus came with 4.0.4 out of the box so there's been no need for an OTA previously and Google has not officially released 4.1 yet. So we've got no specific OTA experience for the Galaxy Nexus. The nexus S 4G did not get Ice Cream Sandwich very quick but neither did many GSM Nexus S. There were problems with the ICS rollout across the board. But here's hoping that they'll get Jellybean right. Of course the rest of us have been using JB for a long time now because we'll he damned if we're gonna wait for Sprint. Or even Google for that matter
You can flash JB without root.
Waiting for ota's is not allowed here

Worse. Sprint approves slow ass Samsung updates.
please post questions in the questions and answers section.
thank you, thread moved.
Thanks for the answer, guys. I wish Google would come up with an easier solution because the carriers are screwing us.
And, for those of you screaming "root", you don't understand that some don't have the time to do it. I won't give up my limited family time to figure it out. And, trust me, you don't want to live my day. If I was still young and single, I would probably do it.

Rooting takes a matter of minutes.... This is a Google device. It's not a locked down HTC. However flashing and keeping up with roms and such is where the time comes in. I know plenty of married people on here..... With children.... That always still have time to mess around with their phone. you don't have to be on here everyday, you can't still root and keep up. just think about it a little more.

If you come to xda with such question, one expects an answer with the word root in it. Why we do it ......... custom Roms, kernels, in depth screen settings, etc, and the must important aspect in my opinion..... the hard work put in by people that love open source.
After flashing jelly bean, I personally do not need to be trying different Roms, maybe theme or kernel, I am the only person that has bragging rights to my friends to say I have the latest and greatest os on my phone.
And for that I thank you all

Stock or custom Rom ?

I have owned three Android devices before getting my GNex. Each of those three devices were rooted and rom-ed within the first one month. I have had my GNex for almost two months now on stock jellybean, no root or custom recovery. The flasher within me is itching to flash something new. The pragmatic within me finds no justification for flashing. The other devices had some issue or the other; everything works fine on stock jb on the Gnex. I am trying my best to side with the pragmatic.
Question to the community- I know what I gain from flashing a custom rom ( customizability, overclocking,etc) . Other than the warranty, what do I lose by moving away from the stock rom?

Well, I for one won't be flashing any ROMs (at least for several months) once my GNEX arrives tomorrow. Whenever I had an unsolvable issue which was with the ROM I chose and would ask for help, I'd get the most cynical responses. "That's what you signed up for" seems to be the common theme. It's like people enjoy being in constant beta tester mode, even when they are supposedly running the stable build of a ROM. The only reason I would flash a ROM is if the default JB build the phone came with was horribly broken. Overclocking on something like a phone is a bit excessive, especially for something that is already a powerhouse and can run the most intense games available for it with relative ease.

You don't lose anything, but you gain a lot of nifty features.
I recommend you always try stock out for a bit before trying anything else. Stock 4.1.1 is damn good.

I tried several highly regarded JB roms (ParanoidAndroid, CM10 nightly, the varieties of AndroidME), but keep coming back to stock + Nova Launcher. Don't even need to (re-)root for that. Just a great combination that you can rely on.
But when I get that itch, I play around with ParanoidAndroid for a few days here and there. A really interesting rom, which I'm sure you'll hear a lot about.
I was coming from a sgs2 that was on a custom ROM and surprisingly I'm happy with stock 4.1 and see no need to flash a custom ROM. Maybe just a kernel to get better battery life even tho it lasts me all day with about 4 hours of screen on time so I can't really complain.

I've been rooting, modding, and even custom ROM building since my Samsung Moment days and ever since. Since I got my Galaxy Nexus on Sprint, however, all I've done is flash a completely pure AOSP stock build of 4.1.1. With this device I have no desire other than to be running the most current Android source. Everything just works, and works well. I have no need for flashy features. Jelly Bean already has every feature I need.
Sent from my Stock AOSP Android 4.1.1 Galaxy Nexus.
I love stock vanilla Android. All my other phones, I'd root and install Cyanogenmod asap. I'd always use the modified factory roms on offer as well, because Cyanogenmod often didn't work that well in the early days of a new device or Android version.
On the nexus I don't really need to flash, but I still use Cyanogenmod 10 anyway for the sole reason the power control toggles in the status bar are very handy.
Either way, only a nexus device can offer such high quality aosp based roms. I say have fun trying a few. Yes there are still issues sometimes but it's nothing like what I've experienced in other phones.

One of the reasons. For me it's just to have the latest AOSP software, and for me that is enough. The Nexus fills both plates very well.
Sent from my Stock AOSP Android 4.1.1 Galaxy Nexus.
The reason I got a nexus was because I hated all the touchwiz/sense stuff and the pre-installed carrier garbage... thus removing my reason to root my phone (not that I don't like to tinker, but 18 credit hours leaves little time).
The only reason I ended up rooting was for PGM so I dont destroy my power button in 3 months like all my previous phones, and for the widgets to show up in apex/nova. Aside from those, I run a totally stock system...
On an unrelated note, sooooo many iphone owners in my classes ask me how to wake their iphone by swiping... i love telling them that they cant

With the GSM Galaxy Nexus, you can unlock, root, find a custom ROM and flash it, then find the Google Wallet APK and install it. It'll say "unsupported device" because Google wants to warn you about "rooting," but it'll activate and work .
I'm using NexusHD 4.3 with GApps and Google Wallet.
With Galaxy Nexus and Jelly Bean there is no reason to try custom ROMS. Only bug a can find is 2.4GHZ wireless.
I've tried to stay as close to JB stock as possible, flashing a vanilla deodexed build of JB and just a couple of mods (battery percent and louder speaker sound) that increase everyday functionality for me and a kernel change because it increases battery life and on demand performance by a practically useful margin. Everyone's personal preferences I suppose but that's the great thing about a nexus device, it can please different tastes/uses very well.
Gnex is so boring ...there is no compelling reason to flash .. everything works just great without any tweaking
Life with galaxy s was more fun...flashing every nightly..dealing with bugs..spending hours on xda forum to find the fixes/work arounds / tricks to improve battery life..I miss all these.

[Q] Just got a HCT One V

Hi! I just got a new HTC One V and I like the phone a lot, I just don't like sense much at all and I feel like it is probably slowing the phone down.
I've rooted and put custom ROMs on both my Galaxy Nexus and before that my Motorola Droid 1, and I remember on the Droid there was a great ROM that was tweaked for squeezing the most performance out of the device, while eliminating those parts of the OS that hog memory and do nothing useful, like fancy graphics, etc.
Can anyone suggest a ROM that gives snappy performance. I would give up fancy graphics and transitions for just a plain and simple clean look with fast and accurate response from the phone.
I like CM but I'm not sure that would be the right fit, considering that this isn't the fastest phone, and I would rather it be fast and work, than slow and feature rich.
Thank in advancec.
One question. From gnex to HTC one V? Quite a few of us went the other way around. Why did you take this step?

I am working in a different state than I live, and I might be here for 6 months to 1 year, and my normal service provider has poor coverage where I am at, so I got a pay as you go phone from a small local provider for the time that I am working here. I got the One V because it was on sale and I figured I could root it and get this little phone to work really well for me.
Ah that makes sense. Well you should go for Sphongle. It's the best rom for hov right now. It's in the original development section. I'm assuming you know how to flash since you got a gnex too.

I do, but it has been a while. I was reading over the instructions and they seem pretty straight forward. I did want to check to make sure that the files for flashing recovery etc listed in the sticky are the newest versions?
Also, is TWRP2 the best recovery image for CDMA One V?
Can't help you with CDMA. I had a GSM. So scrap the Sphongle part than too. Just assumed you had GSM.

Oh, OK
I see CodeFireX for PrimioC is the next post in Original Development, maybe thats a good one.
Does anyone have any experience with a fast rom for CDMA?
Slimbean seems good. It's in the CDMA section. But for people that actually used it you'll have to wait a bit longer probably. Since the people in the USA are at work now.

How is LG with the dev community?

I am looking to upgrade to the Sprint LG G2, and the deciding factor is how LG handles the root/ROM community. My current phone is the OG Photon, which Motorola permalocked the bootloader, then canceled ICS. Even unlocked, Motorola had terrible driver support, where camcorders, 4G and more would break on custom ROMs. Being on Gingerbread yet sucks, as such I refuse to buy a phone that can't be unlocked(T-Mobile has horrible coverage in my area, or I'd have bought a Nexus 4 long ago). So I'd like to see the opinions of the OG, to see how support is, and to see how easy it is to unlock. I understand how stock Android functions, but I have a Nexus 10. I'm used to 'fastboot oem unlock' and pure AOSP support/factory images and such haha. Does LG release the stock ROMs or bootloaders or anything? Does LG even use stock fastboot? Sorry for all the questions, just trying to not get burned again(Motorola.....).

I came from the DROID RAZR, and this phone feels like a beast compared to that. Granted, Verizons network was better but I left them on principal. I haven't rooted yet, but I will in 10 more days (return period). I don't believe I will flash a custom ROM right off the bat though because the stock ROM is plenty smooth and does what it's supposed to. That's so not like Motoblur. It was almost necessary to root and flash in order to have a decent user experience on the Motorola phones (I've had 3). I'm pleasantly surprised by this phone and its stock ROM though. If you pick this phone it won't be a mistake.

Don't play with my heart like that man, lol. I know for a fact that we'll get 4.3 eventually, as well as maybe an official LG update to..... Whatever it is that they're planning on shipping the G2 with (4.2.1 or 4.2.2?). We have a flagship phone with some high end specs. If we don't get an official update for our phones from LG, it'll be because of just outright neglect.
That's what AOSP is for though, I guess.
