Hey community,
I always have the problem that I don't know which ROM and kernel to flash. To find the answer to that question I always have to spend a lot of time in flashing and testing ROMs and before to read threads to get some expirience from users. I thought about how we may be able to simplify this and so...
...i've created a Google Docs Form which asks you some questions and puts that in a table.
Form: http://goo.gl/S0lU7
Answer table: http://goo.gl/wAF66
You can:
Fill out the form
Edit your answers afterwards (note the link that you'd been given after sending the form)
View the answer table and get some experiences out of one place
This is the first version of the form. I would like to work with you together to make the questions maybe better.
And I would like to make an analysis out of the data that comes in. ^^
Cheers,
Charmacas
Version History
Version 0.58 - Added question about Extended Battery
Version 0.57 - Added question about Brightness settings
Version 0.56 - Added another 3 questions (Nickname, Deep Sleep, User type)
Version 0.53 - Added 3 questions regarding apps and background tasks
Version 0.5 - Initial document
I was about to make a similar thread.
Anyways, going to vote in yours now!
Oh I am sorry. Had searched for something equal but did not find something. But you can help me here if you want to.
This is, by my opinion, the best fit for revision of combo "kernel + rom" ... go go go and share your experience..
Some things I noticed:
Background tasks are not yet included.
Background running apps are not included
Number of installed apps is not included
If so... it should give a better overview I think!?
-- EDIT --
Added 3 questions regarding my thoughts!
THANK YOU!
I can reply to this thread? I just wanted to thank you for this K/R comparison it's the best! Thanks for the further information!

Perhaps it would make sense to ask a question about what level of screen brightness people use, since this can play a large role in battery life?

Re: Galaxy Nexus ROM / kernel combination comparison - Version 0.57
I'd like to point out that people seem to be calculating their average hourly % battery drain incorrectly. For example one person posted average uptime of 1440 minutes (24 hours) and an average hourly battery drain of 1%. This is obviously incorrect, as an average of 1% drain per hour would imply 100 hours uptime.
If you do not have an app that accurately reports average hourly % battery drain, the correct way to calculate this would be: (starting battery level) minus (ending battery level) divided by total uptime. For example, if my phone was charged to 97%, I used it until it had 4% left, and that usage lasted 19 hours:
(97 - 4)/19 = 4.89, or about 5% per hour.

Thank you for that input! You're quiet right. But I can't control how user calculate their data. But as there are two inputs you can see whose data is reliable.

No you can't edit your data without the link but I can. What should I edit?
I thought about deleting the form and use the sheet only. But then everybody could edit, delete and as a result manipulate data. But it would have the advantage of an easier administration.

I mean, I have saved my second link to edit so it's ok now. But I want you to delete the 3rd post.
It's my nick name in the end of it but it wasnt made properly. I did another one which could be somewhere in
the bottom. It's more relevant post.
And about that, if you can trust users to not mess with the statistics that would be great but I dont know if
there is some jerk who could be such an idiot to mess with that
You can at least try that? Bud you know saving little URL for edditing its sometimes fuzzy and I bet most of the
reviewers have already forgot about that

I would keep the form. It allows greater uniformity among responses, for example where you use drop down menus. Plus you can have some required questions, as you currently have. I'm sure at present the administration isn't too demanding, but I hope this project will grow (I'm taking every appropriate opportunity to post links on xda to this post). If the administration does become cumbersome I can very happily offer what assistance I could provide. I'm currently working towards becoming a statistician (quite a ways to go still but I'm getting there).
Just my 2 cents. Form or sheet this is a great tool.

An idea: one kind of question a user of this tool might ask is "what's the best kernel for my favorite ROM?". Of course you can filter data in the sheet by ROM name or kernel name, but presently there is no uniformity in naming conventions so this won't work well. E.g. "Ak v704" vs "Pirates 704" or "Paranoid Android 3" vs "AOSPA 3.0".
How do you feel about turning the ROM and kernel questions into drop down menus, containing the 6-8 most popular ones plus an "other - please specify" entry, followed by an open entry version # question? For example:
"What ROM are you using?" (drop down menu selection)
"What version of the ROM? (open text box entry)
And the same structure for the kernel question.
I hope I'm making sense.

Great idea for tracking this stuff, but wasn't someone else already keeping a spreadsheet of this or was that solely just for ROMs? If so, it might be good to merge this data together to have one master document displaying this info. I've always wanted to track this myself because I'm a flashaholic, but never have time to do it.

Yes, it makes sense and I was about to do that but the maintain of the ROMs would just be muuuuuch. So if you would like to help I would give you the permission and you can edit the form. Just write me a PM and we'll go ahead.

Hmm, but this is a general section, no? It's regarding a ROM for GN, it's appropriate, much better than those whining threads.
Well I have a minor question. Just to confirm, I can upgrade from aokp 29 to 32 without a wipe/reset, correct? Just want to double check. I know the 4.0.4 ota code was merged in and released on 29. So I should be able to flash upgrade to 32 without wipe correct? Don't think any major breaks occurred between them and I can't read that whole thread to confirm.

First of all, there's no need for you to be so rude about it. Let alone repeat yourself multiple times.
Second of all, if it's not limited in range or subject then you can't limit it to anything other than AOKP. That qualifies as a limit, does it not? That's like saying I can drive as fast as I want as long as I'm not doing 60mph. Anything above or below is fine. That's putting a limit on 60mph.
Lastly, if no one cares, let the thread die. If it doesn't die then maybe people do care. Either that or you'll keep it alive by complaining..
I'll say thanks too. And bump it.
This isn't a thread for development feedback, from what I can tell, hence why I think it's perfectly fine here to simply inform Gnex users of a new release with a lot of (needed, imo) bug fixes.
Pointless? Maybe. But there are a lot of threads in here that I personally think are pointless.
So guess what I do? Ignore the ones I don't care about.
But hey, that's just my opinion.
And like assh*les, everyone's got em.
This post was helpful for me. Im always in here and was excited to see a new release. I don't normally have time to go through multiple links to keep up with releases. So thank you for posting this up!
thanks for the info, flashed it already on my nexus and hp touchpad
DAMN you guys are some crying little kids! WHO the hell cares where he posts? If you got a problem with it then report it and let a mod deal with it! MOVE ON homies!!
Hey
AOKP updated to B32 in cased you missed it.
Flashed it this morning. It's awesome.
Guys ADW has had a huge update! It has now holo design, ics layouts and damn it is SMOOTH! It also has tablet transition and it's very smooth even in free version. I think this could be the new standard for ics themed gingerbread roms! Try it its impressive!

Oh my goodness. Somebody please, quick, tell me how I can revert to the previous version!
This is a disaster on my phone. Google bar added to home screen (I didn't put it there, I don't want it, it is unremovable!). Takes up vertical real estate, along with the MUCH LARGER dock bar (and I can find no way to make that smaller either...arghhhh).
Those two things have reduced the real estate and jammed the icons together on the screen so the text on many is unreadable.
It is SLOWER than the previous version by far.
PLEASE I beg you; somebody tell me how to revert to the previous version which I LOVED. Do you have the previous version in a format that will allow it to be installed?
I have saved the following files from my dropbox folder:
org.adw.launcher-20120314-212145.tar.gz --only 5.02 KB though ?? Sep 2012

Well, thank you for the smackdown.
No, not a newbie. No it is not perfect--that is your opinion, not a fact.
Then tell me how to get rid of Google bar; normal means do NOT give you the delete option.
I think you do not have the version I received in the update because there are NUMEROUS comments on Play market and one-star ratings about it. I seriously think you are running the next to current version which WAS nearly perfect (my opinion). The new version is a COMPLETE overhaul, which missed the mark. I believe this because EVERYBODY with the new version has the Google bar.
Mind telling how in settings you made it smaller (I don't mean fewer icons, I mean smaller in height.)
Thanks so much for your willingness to help people.

You can disable the Google bar in ADW Settings>Screen>Actionbar Design>Disabled
The Dock Icon Size is on ADW Settings>App Dock>Dock icons scale. (If that's what you meant)

Ah, actual help. Now I appreciate that. I had not found the Google bar control because I did not expect it to be labeled 'actionbar.' You are right; it is there and now disabled.
And for the Dock size, I was looking at the options called, ummmm, Dock Size. The 'scale' was off screen and I just flat missed it. See how easy it was just to tell me the answer?
I will now go check the other things mentioned for speed, which is noticeably slower than before.
LATER: OK changed all of those. When I backed out to the desktop screen, it was BLANK for about 5-10 seconds as it had been doing in this version, then populated. i.e., no change. That never happened in the previous version.

Are you from another planet where they don't even know how to talk and thank?
You can't even type the word "Thanks" nor hit the "Thanks" button for sorting out your problem. All i can see from the first is that you can only complain and nothing more. Stay cool and have a bit of courtesy as well. Learn to thank people when you're helped.
You know, you really gotta learn man. Am forcing myself to say this by seeing your messages and rudeness. Not to offend you in anyway but just making it a point.
Wow.
I do appreciate the help--which was finally offered only after smackdowns and replying pointing out that I was being given put downs instead of help. THEN the help came.
For a help forum, this particular thread has been populated with the most uppity people I've seen in a long time. OK, you are smarter than me. Make you feel good? You sure like putting down people who are stumped, when it is so easy for you, and you FAIL to see how someone else is having a problem--and berate them instead of helping.
What kind of place is this, where you are expected to know how to do it before you ask how to do it? That is insane, to say the least.
I do appreciate the help. I do not appreciate the put downs and having to drag it out by posting about the obvious non-responsiveness.
YOU ARE SMARTER. YOU ARE MORE KNOWLEDGEABLE. I am in awe of your ability. I am not in awe of your unwillingness to share it, and am totally puzzled as to why you even read on a help board when you are unwilling to help--except by being cajoled into it.

You know I've found several Q&A sections on here. Wonder what they are for?
Unless you are prepared to give straight answers why not ignore posts you obviously feel are beneath you?

Thanks for any help
P.S. Btw to all smart butts im honest so no I dont feel like searching save your smart butt jerk off comments to yourself please thanks you

Pop the max backup. Touchwiz eats CPU power. Try a different kernel too. Stock settings are fine through

The stock settings are the stock settings because they are the most stable. You didn't state what your goal was, whether you wanted a faster phone or a longer battery life.
Honestly, if you are so unwilling to spend just a couple minutes to search up the information I don't know why others should spend their time answering your question. But since I'm feeling helpful, here's the first step to finding your answer: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=galaxy+s3+overclocking+undervolt
There is no good setting for stock rooted- You'll need a kernel.

I forgot TP at the store. Will someone please come wipe my arse? Wait, I'll make a new completely useless thread that clutters up the XDA servers because Im too lazy to read or do anything the right way. Thanks guys!

If you cant find threads related to this phone and voltages then you should probably stay stock unrooted before you break your phone and blame it on someone here. And BTW you cant do anything with voltages on a stock kernel. You can underclock it and thats it. That means turn the cpu processor speed down, to save you from having to search.

erikalin - stock app
No more longing for stock apps that the ROM developer removed as bloatware but you really love...
No more explaining to users how to pull a file out of that stock ROM and push to system...
No more needing to include those extra stock apps you really would rather not keep in your ROM...
One person's bloatware is another person's beloved Yahoo stock widget...
This is a lightweight app that has a simple UI in which users can go get whatever stock apps they want to download from my repo and push back into the custom ROM they are running. The app also has a Help tab that leads to a noob-friendly video help file 2:30 minutes long, which demonstrates how to download any stock ROM apk file from the repo and push it to system/app/, set permissions, and reboot.
INCLUDING THIS APP IN YOUR ROM BUILD
Permission is given for anyone to include this app in a ROM. You do not need to ask me in advance; just let me know. Here is how to do that. If you include this app in a ROM please do two things for me in return: (1) Post a link to your ROM here on my app thread to say you have included this app, and (2) Post a link to this thread in your OP with other credits.
Please keep in mind that I cannot provide support other than for the functionality of this app: a stock file repo and basic instructions for how to push apps into the system partition. People should continue to post ROM questions on the appropriate thread for that ROM.
Do not link directly to my file repo or my youtube video that is attached to this app. You can use this app, but please do not use the pieces I have hosted and created for this app. If my traffic log indicates that this is happening, I will have to take the files down.
Keep in mind that I do not monetize on youtube, so view counts mean nothing to me. And I am hosting all files for your use without any ad support. "Click through to the thanks button" is appreciated.
THANKS & CREDIT
credit: kobridge for stock deodexed GB27 ROM, files pulled & used with permission and appreciation.
credit: bigmike6200 for being a faithful tester on build-a-rom, for which this app was made.
This app is signed, so if it is not already baked into the ROM you are using, just click to install like a normal app. Uninstall like a normal app too.

File names for the stock apps are here!
Just put .apk at the end of these to know what file names match the apps. I did not also cover widgets, but I think their file names are all obvious. I believe I have these all correct. If you find a mistake please pm.
To make it readable:
If viewing in the XDA mobile app, tap once on image and then pinch to zoom.
If viewing in mobile browser, tap once, then once more on the viewer, to pinch to zoom.
If viewing on a PC, click the thumbnail, then click on it again to open in a separate tab to zoom in.
If viewing on a mac, I don't know you, and you paid too much for your system.

Hey bud, ROM is not released yet. This is just an app I made to put into build-a-rom when I release, but I am sharing the app because if people check it out, they'll probably realize they want to bake it into their ROMs as well. Your feedback helped - made me realize that I needed to do this for what I'm putting together. Also, when I do release build-a-rom, you'll be able to keep your data and flash over the test build.

If you guys would want to include this app in your next deodexed ROM versions, go ahead and use it. Just give a link to this thread. I did theme this according to my own project, with the neon green on black. If you want, I can make a few versions themed to your colors. Specifically, where you see green on black in the app's landing page as well as the icon, I can make that whatever on whatever. Black on buttons and app icon could be transparent, but I do like my main background image in the app - it's a darkened screenshot from stock GB7 TW homescreen. Subtle, but pleasing because of the function of the app... but the neon green-on-black color scheme I could change for you easily enough. If you would like this, let me know your hex codes.
I'm going to wait to see whether I get some feedback to help decide if I should make a revision or if it's good out of the box. Fifty downloads so far, which surprises me for a little app on this thread. Either way, I can make a few versions themed for you... we are small in number in the ghostly E4GT forums... And seriously, I've got this handset for another year. If you do not want to include it or don't like it - no offense - just offering/sharing.
Who's gonna be first? Just kidding, looks good.:thumbup:
Edit: Really liking this, great job. Simple and useful at it's best.
Nice no more needle in a haystack search we like simplicity!!!
Very cool. It should be noted somehow that preload files will have to be dropped into system/app to prevent confusion because they will not run by themselves without a symlink. Two very nice apps in one day. This one and the repository app.

Lol. Kidding aside, I don't think I've ever done that in my life. Any job worth doing is worth doing well. I've been playing around with my build-a-rom project, which this is a part of. I hope to hear more feedback on this, make it better. Td - I will clarify the don't copy to preload thing. Good reminder which I will emphasize in v2, tyvm.

It's all good, lol, but you are correct. Erika Lin = "erikalin"
Anyway...
Today in between doing my real work I've also been thinking about how to improve this thing. 90 downloads in one day? Of my little app? In our quiet little forum? I'm glad people are checking it out, so I'll do right by it. I have some initial ideas:
(1) Theme in a few different colors, build them and name them by color scheme. I'd be theming the font color, buttons, and the app icon's colors. Like I said, I do like my app background image so that's staying. Darkened screenshot of stock JB, it makes sense. If anyone says there's interest, I'll make a few different color schemes for v.2. Give hex #s if you want. Honestly, I'm not at a loss for how to spend my time, so if there's no interest I'm fine with my just using original color scheme.
(2) Make sure to clarify push apps to system/app/. Thanks again, td, for reminding. I'll reword the main activity page's description and it will be clear.
(3) Verify that bluehost.com really means unlimited storage and bandwidth for my hosting accounts. I do have several websites on that account, and since I'm now using one of my extras for putting E4GT files on... I can't let it put my regular websites at risk. I will investigate though. If I can host more stuff legitimately with my account, I will consider suggestions for how I might add to this app. I am no expert in java, but can probably handle tabbed navigation, or swipe screens, to different purposes. I will think about this, and consider ideas. The beauty of it is that it will add almost nothing to the weight of the app itself, because all resources are accessed via browser, youtube, whatever. To be clear, I do not want to recreate bilgerryan's fine work with the one stop shop. That's not happening. If I expand on this it will be within parameters... Might just fine tune and keep it the simple app I intended it to be too.
(4) Who is downloading this thing? Lol. You 90+ people, please give me quick feedback. :good:

Sorry shipmate. I could not hold back any longer. Sorry Now I need to play around with this some more. Some fine tunning. I am toying with trying the toolbox app. Would this work with "JV"?

You're playing around with the test build of my ROM, and putting in the apps that you want. Just my app here? It works for any deodexed stock GB27 TW ROM, of which JV is one. The app is essentially a file repo - all the stock ROM apps. You like the inverted and themed apps, so you probably wouldn't need this app of mine. It's just a way to get stock apps that are missing from any one custom ROM, without a developer having to keep a bunch of the stock apps in the ROM. Win win. I might add to this app somewhat, or I might make a second app with other ideas, both apps being made primarily for my build-a-rom project.
ROM Toolbox ("RTB") is, I think, one of the most valuable apps out there. It's good to use with any ROM and has a lot of useful features.
Hello,
Me and jhonnyx are currently porting Sense 4.0 to the Galaxy Nexus.
However, as you might know, it has already been done before, but that thread is discontinued.
So we started from scratch. ROM information:
Code:
- Based on: Endeavoru RUU : 1.29.401.11
- Android 4.0.3 with HTC Sense UI 4.0
Source (SVN): https://code.google.com/p/htc-sense4-maguro/
All Downloads are listed here.
However, if you want to get the latest changes, you should use the SVN.
Changes are as following:
Code:
[B]NOTE: Everything done before pre-2.3 is the essential material to make the ROM ''boot".[/B]
--------------------------------------------- pre_2-3
- Fixed sensors
- re-fixed vold.fstab (sd-card working now)
- Fixed ROOT permissions, & updated Superuser binary + app (3.2-RC3)
- Changed updater-script a bit.
- Increased VM heap size ; maybe apps load now..
---------------------------------------------pre_3(.1)
- fixed camera HAL
- Renamed device to Samsung Galaxy Nexus in the ROM.
- Renamed to maguro in build.prop
- JNI checking is on
- Increased the vm heapsize a bit more ;)
- Fix bluetooth crash
- Added correct GPU material to load the apps
ROM STATUS: Booting
However, the ROM immediately reboots when it reaches homescreen.
Latest Logcat [Version : pre_3.1] : Here.
Partition information:
Code:

Porting JB and/or Sense 5 is a nearly impossible task, even for HTC devices.
Sent from Google Nexus 4 @ CM10.2
Well I wanted to say that I got through the setup (took like ten minutes lmao) and got to the home screen and ran a couple apps.
I'm on toroplus
Needs otg cable and USB keyboard
How I did it:
let it boot, plug in otg cable with keyboard plugged in. The ui will begin to load, let it do is thing. It will get to the setup screen. What will happen is while using most apps the screen will freeze and you can't do anything. Press the power button, then press it again. On this wallpaper screen press enter a few times, Unplug the otg cable and plug it back in, the ui will show again. Try to tap next and keep repeating that.
I couldn't get the HTC sense home screen to load, don't know about trebuchet, I used nova.
I feel like there was an easier way lmao
