First Steps with a new, used GNex - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

In a few days i got a used GNex from a friend, its unlocked but what are the first Steps i must check? Baseband and Bootloader Updates? Battery Reset?
And which Rom/Kernel Combo is the Must-Have today?
Best Regards from Germany

1. Doesn't hurt to be on the latest baseband and bootloader. Some have better luck with different basebands so that may end up being some trial and error based on your location.
2. Battery reset won't hurt either and would give you a clean slate to start from.
3. Rom wise, if you want 4.3 you can't go wrong with slimrom. If you want 4.4 CMetal has the game right now.
4. Kernel wise, everyone has their favorite but Mpokang Kernel v10 is been making the rounds as fast with plenty of available ram. Since we only have a gig ram having plenty extra so there is less swapping helps.
If you are going to use a 4.4 rom make sure to grab the latest recoveries.

What do you mean under "baseband"? Radio?

Well by the sounds of it your not planing to root your device (at least straight away). Although if you do decide to purchase I recommend it as there are numerous fixes with custom roms/kernels. The battery out of the box was shockingly bad but this was quickly fixed by flashing a new kernel and it improved dramatically!! The other issue out of the box I had was the signal dropped out every so often but you can flash the latest baseband and that resolved the issue.
Hope that helps...

i'm planning to root my device...but maybe 1 or 2weeks later...for the battery fix,which kernel should i flash?is it a custom kernel or a stock kernel?
and for the signal drop issue which baseband should i flash?btw...is baseband different in every country?? i'm a noob
It depends on the rom you might flash. Some like CyanogenMod have a modified kernel that improves performance and battery life anyway. I personally like Francos kernel but it some what depends on your experiences with different rom/kernel combinations and experimentation.
As for flashing the 'right' baseband, there are different releases depending on your location. However this is not to say that a asian baseband won't work in europe (they do). So again this calls for personal experimentation and seeing what works best for you in your area.

i'm going to stick with the stock ics first...wat is the ics version of nexus out of the box?4.0.1?if it's 4.0.1,how do i upgrade it to 4.0.2 or 4.0.3?if i flash Francos kernel,will i lose my data and apps in the phone?
i'm from malaysia(asia) so which baseband do u think i should flash??
again...i'm a noob...i really appreciate tat u answer my question...thanks alot...
The version out of the box will more than likely be 4.0.1. If your planning to root anyway then you don't need to worry about what you get out of the box.
If your bootloader is locked (which it probably will be) when you get your device you will need to unlock this. Doing so will wipe your device so it's recommended to do so sooner rather than later.
EDIT:
After this point flashing a new kernel will not wipe your app data (unless you want to )
There are 'stock' rooted roms available, I but I believe these are limited to 4.0.1/2 only. If you want great performance I would recommend a custom rom.
The Toolkit (here!) is a great tool if your new to the whole rooting scene so I recommended looking at that.
You can have a look at the list of basebands as well (here!) which might make the situation a little clearer. There's no 'easy' answer, as I said before you need to do some reading and self testing. Everyones situation is different depending on exact location and rom combination. Don't be afraid at trying these new things (you can always flash a different one).

now to think of it...maybe i'm not gonna root my phone...cuz it void my warranty and galaxy nexus cost a looooooooooooot in my country...it's really expensive...
i'm sorry but what is bootloader?
thx again for your help...i'm doing some research about all this procedure right now...
As far as I know (I may be wrong), unlocking the bootloader and rooting the device does not void Samsungs warranty. Even if it does you can relock the bootloader/unroot your device so there were no signs of you tampering with your device in that manner.
Try aokp with Franco kernel.
The best rom I ever use in galaxy nexus.

No. The newest official version is 4.0.2.
In the development section of this forum there are 4.0.3 roms available because they are in aosp but 4.0.3 never never got pushed ota. There are leaked 4.0.4 roms too.
To flash a kernel you need to unlock your bootloader, flash clockwork mod recovery and flash from there. Don't flash Franco.kernel over 4.0.2
Just use the gnex toolkit to do everything, its simple.
Then read about bootloaders, adb and fastboot.
very valuable knowledge.

It will update to 4.0.2 from 4.0.1 when you turn it on and it will upgrade Over The Air (OTA)
Aosp is android open source project.
All the code for android is free for people to take and build and is stored in Google's aosp repositories.
Read as much as you can, nexus are quite simple so you'll figure it out.

HTC One X Camera Not Opening

Dear All,
Please help me. I have changed my htc one x screen as its sensor was damaged and not working. After changing the screen everything works fine like new but suddenly my camera having problem. Sometime its not opening when i push to open it its not opening and i remain on same screen. When i perform hard reset or factory reatore its start working fine. But after one/ two days having same problem. I went to repair shop and he suggested me to flash siftware. I done it and its workung for 2 days but still same prob!! I m very disoppointed because i got it very expensive to spent my money and bear screen charges as well. Can anyone give me solution? Its hardware or software? Should i root this phone? In my thinking it should be software problem bcoz if it would have been hardware it never open. Waiting

Any fixes like lockscreen widgets or not? I find lockscreen widgets to be very useful so I want to know before I try it.
EDIT: Nope, it does not. Not many changes to B125 I feel, but it does have better RAM management. Consistently around 400 mb even with games. But still, reverting to OMNI ROM....
Do i really need external sd card in order to perform local update to b132

I have 24 hours with b132 and have to say it feels faster and smoother. at the beginning it seemed to drain the batter faster but I recalibrated the battery (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration) and it does seem that it is lasting longer than before (altough it's still too early to be sure).
I highly recommend it because it's notably better in performance.
I have been able to upgrade to b125 but not to b132... I cant really find whats the cause of update fail

Awesome. I'm going to pass the manual calibration of the battery and wait for it to calibrate the "natural" way because I don't want to root my phone any more.. I saw some stability issues after rooting.. I'll report after about 1 week of use

Touch Screen Sensivity Issues?

Hello all. I was just curious if anyone was having any touch screen Issues with their note 2014? It's not a lag issue but the screen sometimes does not sense my finger. I have to re-touch frequently to get it to recognise. Same with using a pen.
I have no screen protector installed, and not rooted. As far as I know there is no way to adjust the sensitivity from settings. I do not have this issue with any other device including my note 3 phone so I know I'm not that cold blooded.
Is this a note 10.1 thing? Debating on going through the hassle of Sammy support.
Thanks
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
Do you use a magnetic case?
I had problems with the sensitivity when my tablet was in a case with a magnet.
Since I removed the case the sensitivity is perfect

Screen fix
hey i had the same issue and it seems that all of these have this issue...but there is a fix for it and no samsung will not help you witht this...done asked around on that one as they say everything is fit to specs...which is technically correct but causes an issue for us gamers. if you are rooted or want to root, do so and flash the KXUANC2 kernel through ODIN as you would any other package. this will break wifi at first but this is where you need root permissions. using a root explorer, navigate to /system/build.prop, long press and open with text editor. Find ro.securestorage.support=true and change the value true to false (ro.securestorage.support=false). reboot and problem solved!:laugh: Make sure that when you are using your root explorer that it is set to RW and not RO.
Kernel:
--https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/29704739/SM-P600_Kernel_KXUANC2_Odin.tar--
Appreciate the info. I got the device recent recently and not rooted yet. I think I may wait for KK and see if that helps. If not I'll probably root. Glad and not glad to hear it's not just my tablet. Sounds like Sammy could fix this with a kernel tweak.

You do not need to be rooted to install this ROM in Odin... Its multi language so when it starts up select English.
If you do want to root (I did to add mutli window and add more multi tasking apps) then use Chainfire's Auto Root which works install Odin
Rooting breaks your Knox warranty, but I do not believe that negates any hardware malfunctions covered under warranty if there is no direct correlation.

And then 22sl22 was nice enough to mirror the P600ZHUANC3 ROM which is newer than the start of that thread.
Also includes the improved kernel.

You do not need to be rooted to install this ROM in Odin... Its multi language so when it starts up select English.
If you do want to root (I did to add mutli window and add more multi tasking apps) then use Chainfire's Auto Root which works install Odin
Rooting breaks your Knox warranty, but I do not believe that negates any hardware malfunctions covered under warranty if there is no direct correlation.

i can confirm this works on my sm-p600. no root required, just flash using odin:
1. download and extract the zip file.
2. open odin 3.09 and select/browse AP for the .tar.md5 file
3. don't touch any other settings; just click start and let the magic work its wonders
Are you completely stock when doing this? Tanks

Can you confirm the download link to the kernel that you are using? Any bad effects or nothing but good?

It's not just the kernel you're updating from the download link. You get a new set of firmware. I can confirm there's nothing of the ghost touching (erratic multitouch sensitivity) issue encountered thus far.
If you are using chrome and still feel a tiny jitter AFTER flashing to the new firmware, I recommend this fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2700481
With these two fixes I finally feel that I made the right choice in buying the perfect tablet.
I'm sorry I'm still just a bit confused on the file. Don't want to muck this up. Is it the "megafile" that 22sl22 posted in the second link or the drive file? and yes I applied the chrome tweak already. I'll try this update in ODIN tomorrow. This should not affect the ability to do OTSs I take it? I've been wanting to stay unrooted to try the official KK update whenever that happens.

the file uploaded on megafile or google drive is the same. just pick whichever that gives you faster download speed.
it will not affect your ability to check OTA (over-the-air) updates because it is the official samsung firmware. you will remain unrooted. warranty will not be void.
to put it simply, samsung has yet to release any update for the US. by flashing that firmware, you're simply changing your current US version to a HK version (everything's still in english for me). if it really bothers you, just flash back to an updated US firmware when (and if) samsung actually releases one.
Does this flash reset the tablet and wipe your data?
Could someone please provide a safe download link for Odin 3.09. I think the one I downloaded was virus infected. Crap!

I downloaded Odin from this site and it installed tons of malware and viruses. My antivirus and malwarebytes was going crazy!

Can you elaborate on "new touchwiz"? I'm having trouble believing you have a feature that's 5x faster than stock. Otherwise, great to see this rom here, keep up the work!

+1 I am skeptical also. Even skipping a generation of phones doesn't grant a 5x faster experience. Perhaps we can see some comparisons of a bone stock S7 and one loaded with your rom showing this 5x increase?
the coder removed 5x animation on Touchwiz even if you turn of animations you still have 5x animation but you wont see it, we removed that. that there is no animation anymore. even if you turn them of

Great to see compact ROM. But you have to mention the modem and bootloader are for edge version, but your thread is in the S7 version forum.

I think you can get the modem and bootloader from the Superman Rom thread. the last for the 1,6 rom ist the same base like this rom here.
King rom also has them for the 930
