well, right now i have franko kernel installed , no params adjusted... not even sure where i would find the section in settings.. on a stock Verizion JB 4.2... im not even sure what would be the best rom to try
some one suggested MetalC.. but i cant find the Gapps that work with that one... so what i need is a solid ROM, Kernel and Gapps..
i was able to root via the Nexus Root Tool kit... that went well... but now i need to decide what Toro version rom i need to use.. and im keeping an eye out to see if the Franko kernel brings any joy for those random reboots and shutdowns... the guy i bought the Gnex from said he will do a full refund but i want to sort this out if possible... this little machine is too cool just to cash out on...
time to research on roms and stuff i guess..

For 4.4 go for cMetal / Playfulgod / dhacker's CM builds, for a 4.3 experience i dunno any one for toro and for kernel i think you can try out MpoKang as it can be flashed on 4.3 and up just have a look in the official thread and you'll be able to find zips plus use trickster app for the kernel control :good: !!
well, a bit of a followup friday swapped out the stock kernel for Franko kernel... and i have had it on for about most of the day yesterday and zero random shutdowns and no SOD.. this little thing is great and its a lot more easy to have this around then a remote for 2 google tv a roku and an xbmc box... i have not delved into new roms, the JB stock seems to be working fine im getting at least 10 hrs out of the battery... this is be best micro tablet i could ever find for 70 bucks... and the screeen is quite nice.. im sure i will be moding soon enough... but for now just a kernel change seems to have put an end to the sleep of death and random shutoffs..

For some odd reason I cannot flahs any custom kernels. Whenever I flash some rom, the included kernel will work just fine. But if I flash another one, like franco or matr1x, I end up in bootloop, or stucks at boot. Anyone else experienceing this behaviour?
You need to make sure you flash a kernel that is built for the version of android you are using.
For example ARHD 2.1.1 is 4.0.2 so you can not use the Matr1x v1.5 kernel because it is built for 4.0.3
Always read the OP before flashing, the info is there
Edit: messed up my version numbers
Sent from a phone that is not running ICS
I have the same problem - no matter what kernel I use or how I try to install it I have yet to find one that will work with a stock version of ICS 4.0.2 on my phone - they always freeze at the boot screen, I don't get any further.
I have indeed checked versions before flashing.

[XXLE4]Issue with custom kernel - disturbing reboots
Hi everyone,
I am facing an huge issue that make me unable to flash any custom kernel without rebooting.
I though it was because brand new XXLE4 cannot support 1k+ frequencies or may be another things than I could not have been imagine because of my poor informatic and linux knowledges but it seems that i am just unable to flash custom kernel. only the original CF-ROOT doing his job but others aren't.
May be because of the SetCPU apps but it is less sure that the origin take his effect from that apps. It is a quit anoying because I would have been set my Scary 120 - 1350 to get an impressive battery life with the brand new UC-Kernel but seems to be a mirage for me.
I had got some custom roms but I can't just use them because I want an real free-bugs ROM an official release are the only one option for me and my usual usage.
Thanks in advance for the help provided and I apologies for my bad english.
maybe EXT format?

4.0.2? I believe no custom kernels support 4.0.2 anymore. Updated/latest versions of said custom kernels at least. I think franco has a 4.0.4 version of his though i'm sure very few people are on 4.0.4, 4.0.2 is just a thing of the past.

How are you flashing kernels? What recovery do you have installed?

Hi,
Maybe you guys can tell me what to do. Before this phone i had the sg2, and i decided to root the phone because everyone told me it was hard to brick that phone, and when i learned how to flash kernels and rom's, then i almost flashed new rom every week since then.
1. Now i bought the Nexus, and im happy with it, but i want to know, is it less big chance to brick this phone too?
2. To unlock, and root this phone i use GNex TOOLKIT V5.3, this is the safest and easiest way, right?
3. On my Sg2, i used Checkrom HD v4, Ginger-mod, Siyah and Speedmod. Which Rom's are the best out there (ive been looking at Foxhound, and android revolution HD), and which kernel is the best chooise for me, who don't undervolt or clock, meaning a kernel similar to Speedmod?
i would be thankful for every answer i would get,
thanks

1. It's been going around the community that the galaxy Nexus is hard to brick.
2. The toolkit is good to use, go ahead and use that.
3. I use the Gummy ROM and love it! I also use Francos Kernel for conserving battery.
Did I help you? Click the thanks button!
Phone: Galaxy Nexus
ROM: GummyNex
Kernel: Franco
Someone els who wanna share some tips?
thanks
All of the roms are great. Revolution HD is based on 4.0.2 and the rest are 4.0.3 or 4.0.4 I like foxhound but I am using AOKP. If you don't overclock or under clock, the stock kernel works just fine. I think most of the kernels are undervolted by default.

It's a whole new world. This is not samsung land anymore.
The nexus is aosp supported, so if you'd like read up on how to build from source, fastboot and the 4 combos you can do to boot your phone with.
Install android sdk and jdk 1.6. While you're waiting for the repo to sync, setup udev rules (some distros will probably have these already), adb will be your friend and nothing to be afraid of. See also ddms.
Done synching the repo? Good, now go read the wiki 'google build for devices'. Read also 'building system'. Then go read the tutorial for compiling aosp thread in General. Read up on that thread, it doesnt have many pages yet.
This is how custom roms and aosp kangs are born
1- well, from what i've seen, its even easier to debug whats happening, so yeah, i would expect this device to hold its ground while you throw almost anything at it. After all, this is a aosp supported device.
2- toolkit. Easiest? Yes. Safest? Probably no.
3- fugumod
In response to bricking. As long as your recovery doesn't get erased you can always just restore a backup if you mess up your phone. I like to keep a stock/root backup just in case.

Samsung flagship devices are hard to brick IMO. You have to be either doing something completely wrong or very very unlucky to brick one.
IMO Samsung devices are really hard to brick. I've had a few sammy android devices including the SGS2 and never bricked them to the point that they were unusable.
I have the Galaxy Nexus and not bricked it yet. The GNex toolkit really is safe as thats what I used to root mine.
As far as roms, this forum has a plethora of great options. Right now I'm running Manhattans ICS 4.0.3 and its been ultra stable with great battery life.
Extreme beginner
Hey guys, I'm extremely new to this world. My last phone was a bb and now I have a Nexus (Verizon). I'm trying to get the most out of my phone and wanted to install the codenameandroid rom to my phone. I just unlocked the bootloader and rooted it (I think). I've been trying to read and gather information on how to do this but I just really don't understand some of the terminology and exactly what I should do. If anyone could provide some step by step instructions for me it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
Guys I just received my phone from service after the SDS syndrome.
I flashed to PACman ROM and PRObam 4.4.6 and 4.3 nightliy but with all three I am having problem with WiFi.
It seems to not been able to connect with all three.It says saved and then does not connect.
Any ideas? Otherwise what would you recommend me to flash to right now?
Please help me because I need a solution asap. I don't even have the stock rom and I need to download it, so I'd like to hear your opinions before I do.

well try phoenix rom if want the 4.1.2 as for me the default sometime created problem connecting to wifi which still does and temporary solution solves it but its irritating when phone takes time or does not connect,which I found that the phoenix rom used to connect in a sec as it should be and never had problems connecting
Yeah,being this your first flashing experience,i suposed,why did you chose the 4.3 builds?I think wifi thing is 4.3 issue,if you want fast buttery smoth everlasting juice deliciusness flash thunder lite rom...

Thanks I will try it, I am out of solutions for fixing this weird issue with the CM 10.2 custom based ROMs. Just in case that 4.1.2 creates issues as well, can you recommend me your best 4.1.1 which works like a charm for me now?

No this is far from my first flashing experience even with Note 2. It's my first flashing experience as I said after receiving my phone from SDS syndrome (mobo was swapped). Why shouldn't I flash to the newest build if I can?
It had 4.1.1 and worked great as it works now with a custom 4.1.1 rom. The problem is with other custom ROMs and yes everything works amazing except WiFi connection with the CM 10.2 based that I tested (Nightly,Probam,PAC).
It should be a software issue with some devices in this code.

well stay away from 4.1.1 rom as its prone to sds so avoid it and yes thunderlite is even an amazing rom fast and stable now its upto you what u choose plus thunderlite has the battery advantage too if you go for phoenix choose 240dpi mode in aroma and enjoy the beauti of the beast ,the choice is yours, earlier i have tried N7100 Resurrection Remix® but in that case too wifi worked fine for me ,I would suggest a complete wipe install ,even wiping your system but do a backup of your current before proceeding in case.

Also tried 4.2.2 RootBox before and it still gives me the problem with WiFi. There's definitely something fishy going on with anything from 4.1.2 and above for me from what I've tested with 6 different ROMs..About the SDS syndrome I checked with eMMC program and it says it's a sane chip this time, before it warned me it was an insane one and after some time my phone had died on me.
Anyway I've had enough, just finished installing Phoenix V13 and tweaking the basics. Works amazing thus far and it looks like a great rom. WiFi works great and I think I'll stay with this one for the time being.
10 days without this beast were A LOT, I'm bored looking even further I hope this one will serve me well..

My friend has an xperia m single sim model running latest official firmware and its is very slow. Hangs quite often and takes 2 to 3 swipes to unlock the screen. So i thought ill flash the phone with a custom rom.
Im good with flashing phones and have done it a lot. I always do my research before flashing to get the best rom for the phone. But with this phone i am stuck. I dont think i have found a stable rom yet. I know i should not ask which is the best rom but still can someone suggest a rom which can be flashed to this phone.
The problem is that after i will be meeting my friend for a day and i cannot flash it for a long time. So i dont want to put a rom and then after few days he finds serious bugs.
So some suggestion please. I usually go for omnirom or cm11.Some advice regarding rom,kernel,recovery would help me a lot
Thanks

Try Latest build of CM11 FXP, that is most Stable Rom according to me.
I'd say it's latest build from FXP (it's 326 so far). No serious bug or annoying UI. go for it. :good:
i will go with cm11 then.Thank you guys one more doubt. Does cyandelta work with fxp builds?

The difference between a Rom and a kernel is. ROM is the OS that you flash. Right now you are running samsungs stock rom that is on your phone. A kernal is what controls the hardware of the phone.
