I thought the GS4 with pure Android on TMo and AT&T was a really a odd move. Seems to me like they will be causing consumer confusion as the what the "pure Google" product is. The 4, 7 and 10 Nexus layout seemed to be a pretty solid line with a clear definition in choice.

KEY LINKS:
ADB/Fastboot/MTP Drivers: Get your device connected to your PC and responding to ADB. Required for rooting/unlocking.

Galaxy Nexus Unlock/Root Toolkit: A convenient utility to do the hard work for you. It even installs Clockwork recovery.

[LTE] Android Open Kang Project (AOKP): Thus far the best ROM for the Toro. Currently based on a heavily-modified version of IML74K.

[GSM] Android Open Kang Project (AOKP): Thus far the best ROM for the Maguro. Currently based on a heavily-modified version of IML74K.

[Kernel] Lean Kernel: Thus far the very best custom kernel for the Toro and Maguro SGN. With moore features and faster development than any other kernel, Imoseyon has brought his pioneering work with other devices to the Galaxy Nexus. I highly recommend you flash the latest experimental (180Mhz version), then keep it updated every few days by typing "lkflash" at the terminal and selecting the 180MHz experimental option.

Extensive customization can be done with the LeanTweaks script, which is flashed through Clockwork Recovery and accessed inside Android by typing "lt" at the terminal. The script's preset voltages are quite good, and my phone works beautifully with the "aggressive" presets.


KEY TERMS:
SGN: Samsung Galaxy Nexus (aka "GNex")

Tuna: Codename for the Galaxy Nexus hardware (OMAP4, SGX540, 1GB RAM, etc.)

Maguro: Codename for GSM Galaxy Nexus (Western Europe, Virgin Mobile Canada, Bell Canada, etc.)

Toro: Codename LTE Galaxy Nexus (Verizon Wireless)

Yakju: The name for the specific software build of Android 4.0.x that was prepared and deployed by Google for the Maguro SGN. Only SGN handsets referencing this fingerprint in /system/build.prop will receive updates directly from Google. Other builds, such as yakjuws and yakjuxw, were prepared by Samsung or the carrier, and must be updated by the carrier. Luckily, Maguro owners stiffed with one of the non-yakju Android 4.0.x builds can wipe their phone and restore the factory yakju image to put Google back in control. WARNING: Your bootloader must be unlocked to perform this restore, which voids your warranty. All data on your phone will be destroyed by executing this process.

Mysid: See above. Mysid is the fingerprint for the Google-controlled version of Android 4.0.x for the Toro SGN. All VZW SGNs ship with the mysid fingerprint.

ITL41D: Another name for Android v4.0.1.

ICL53F: Another name for Android v4.0.2.

IML74K: Another name for Android v4.0.3.

IMM76D: Another name for Android v4.0.4.

SAMOLED HD: The brand name for the particular panel technology behind the Galaxy Nexus' 1280x720 screen. For generic information on SAMOLED, visit here. SAMOLED HD uses the PenTile RGBG matrix, but with a sufficiently high DPI to disguise the visual artifacts commonly associated with this subpixel arrangement. Seriously, this screen looks ****ing good.

Bootloader: Responsible for initializing the process that allows Android to start successfully. A locked bootloader will cause the phone to refuse custom ROMs. The Galaxy Nexus is prized for being freely unlockable with a command issued from a utility in the Android SDK. Virtually every other Android phone must have a security flaw exploited before the bootloader can be unlocked. In other words, this phone was expressly designed to be easily modified.]]> http://icrontic.com/discussion/97316/slow-android-phone Wed, 20 Mar 2013 14:22:27 -0400 Mobile Devices QCH 97316@/discussions
So... what other troubleshooting things can be done? I know there is an inherent risk in rooting and using ROMs but I've never seen anything bad happen as long as you don't go overclocking to extremes...

Any help?]]> http://icrontic.com/discussion/97312/a-299-smartphone-that-doesnt-suck Tue, 19 Mar 2013 10:50:06 -0400 Mobile Devices mertesn 97312@/discussions Press release
and The Verge

I don't make a habit of providing mobile phone coverage, hence the forum post.

Somewhere towards the end of April, Blu Products will release a high-end smartphone you can own outright, unlocked, and with a stock version of Android Jellybean for $299. That's the same price most of the US carriers will charge for a high-end phone with a two year contract. It's called the Life One.

Specs:
- CPU: MediaTek MT6589
-- 28nm process
-- 1.2GHz Quad core
-- PowerVR Series5XT GPU
-- HSPA+ 41Mbps modem
- Display:
-- 5.0" IPS 1080p display
-- Curved Gorilla Glass 2
- Cameras
-- 13.0 megapixel back camera, 1080p recording
-- 5.0 megapixel front camera
- 1GB RAM
- microSD slot supports up to 32GB
- GSM quad band
- HSPA 850/1900/2100
- Dual SIM
-- can make and receive calls on either sim seamlessly

According to an interview with The Verge, the way Blu Products is able to offer the phone at this price is a lack of overhead common to the big names. Blu doesn't have the giant marketing costs of Samsung, HTC, Motorola, and Apple, nor do they pad their price for large profit margins.

There's no LTE for the phone, but it probably doesn't matter if you live in an area with good coverage.

I got it loaded up this afternoon (after many hours of waiting for cdimage.ubuntu as it was beyond hammered with traffic) on my Nexus 7.

There's a lot of potential here, and I like the direction they're going (both with the touch edition, and the overall convergence itself).

What's cool (to me at least) is that they're working with Android underpinnings so existing bootloaders and recovery programs should be able to stay in place (also making it easier to go back if/when you need to). They've left ADB intact as well, so you can access stuff that's not exposed to the UI yet if you have the need/want.]]> http://icrontic.com/discussion/97043/samsung-galaxy-mini-2-showing-strange-screen Mon, 21 Jan 2013 03:25:00 -0500 Mobile Devices jumpstylerz 97043@/discussions

With all the Jelly Bean leaks happening for the International Samsung Galaxy S3 we were starting to wonder if and when it would leak for a U.S. carrier. Wonder no more though as an Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean build for the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3 has now popped up. In order to get it loaded up, you'll need to be running a stock device and then flash the Jelly Bean build over top of it.

Download and install stock (if you are not already on stock rom) This is needed as a base. The update will otherwise fail
Download OTA
Apply zip in recovery menu
Enjoy Jelly Bean 4.1.1
There hasn't been a lot of user feedback as of yet, so like always, you'll have to proceed with some caution. If you do manage to get it loaded up though, drop by the Android Central Forums and let us know how things are running. All that said; if you're not sure about doing all of this it's best to wait or ask in the forums for some further clarification on to go about getting it done.]]> http://icrontic.com/discussion/96354/the-game-klip Thu, 23 Aug 2012 16:22:54 -0400 Mobile Devices Zanthian 96354@/discussions http://thegameklip.com/

"The company says that the new plan will be “truly unlimited,” meaning there will be no curbs on data transfer speeds, or surprise fees added to a bill. The plan will be a new option on top of T-Mobile’s existing data packages. Its older “unlimited” data plans, which are still being offered, allow customers to consume only a certain amount of bytes before the connection speed is slowed.

I'm surprised, frankly. They had a chance to finally bring the iPhone up to par with the modern expectation for size and thinness, but if this is it, they kind of blew it (of course, not to Apple fanatics, who will declare it god-like regardless).

TheTechBlock has a fascinating write-up on the industrial design aspects of this unibody prototype. To me, it's way too elaborate to be a hoax. It's probably close to what it's gonna end up looking like.

Honestly, my HTC One S is about as slim (it's incredibly thin) and elegant as they come right now. I think it's way more sexy than this unibody thing that Apple might be doing.

If you're having issues, you did something wrong. If you can't follow along, hacking a Nook Color is not for you. PLEASE ALSO BE AWARE THAT THIS GUIDE COMPLETELY DESTROYS THE BARNES & NOBLE SOFTWARE. I ASSUME YOU BOUGHT A NOOK COLOR FOR MORE THAN EBOOKS, SO DOWNLOAD THE NOOK APP FROM THE MARKET IF YOU WANT MOST OF THAT FUNCTIONALITY BACK (or hunt .epub for Aldiko like a boss).


PRELIMINARY:
You will need the following things:

1. A 1, 2, 4 or 8GB MicroSD card. This one is a bargain.

2. A PC capable of accepting and reading/writing to that microSD card. If you don't have an adapter, you might as well buy one of the microSD+adapter combos in step 1. A laptop usually has an SD card reader that you can use going forward.

3. An installed copy of Win32DiskImager. Click "binary" in the green box on the right to download.

4. A Barnes & Noble NOOK Color updated to version 1.2 of the B&N software. You'll know you're on this version if the device says "Read Forever" when you power the device on. If it does not say this, then do not proceed until you've updated it to version 1.2.


The steps:
1. Download this image file and extract the contents to your hard drive. WARNING: This will extract to a 1GB file, so be sure you have more than 1GB available on your drive to accept this file. Remember what this file is: this is your image file.

2. WARNING, YOUR SD CARD WILL BE COMPLETELY ERASED IN THIS STEP. Open Win32DiskImager and open your image file with it. Select your SD card from the dropdown, then hit write. Wait. Writing this image file will temporarily reduce the capacity of your SD card to 1GB, which we will remedy later.

3. Once the write is finished, download the latest CyanogenMod7 ("CM7") nightly to the SD card. Do not extract this zip file. Also download the latest Google apps ("GAPPS") to the SD card. Don't extract this zip file either.

4. If you have successfully written your image file to SD, saved CM7 to the SD and saved the latest GAPPS to SD, then you can now eject the SD card from your computer and insert the MicroSD into your Nook Color.

5. Power on the NC holding the silver "n" button, which should boot the device with some skulls and crossbones. ARRRRR! You should be greeted by an orange/black menu. This is ClockworkMod Recovery, or CWM. You will be installing CM7 and the GAPPS from this program.

6. Hit the volume +/- to navigate menu entries, and press the silver "n" button on "wipe data/factory reset." Repeat this process for CACHE and ADVANCED -> DALVIK CACHE. Clockwork may stop responding to navigation after you have cleared any one of these, so reboot as many times as you need to to clear all of them.

7. Now back in CWM with all the partitions cleared, press the silver "n" button to select "choose zip from SD card."

8. Select cm_encore_full-???.zip and confirm your decision to flash CM7. After that is complete, your Nook Color will be running Android 2.3.5/Gingerbread shortly.

9. Now flash Gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip. After that is done, you will have the latest Google apps that are not available from the Android Market.

10. When you're done, press the power button a few times to go back to the main menu.

11. Your NC will now boot into one of the very latest versions of CM7, which itself is based on Android 2.3.5, or "Gingerbread." You will be prompted to configure or log in with a Google account at this time, which you must (and should) do.

12. Once you're finally at the desktop, press the "menu" button on the screen (it looks like a couple of parallel horizontal lines in the lower left). From there, select SETTINGS > CyanogenMod settings > performance > CPU settings. Set these these options:
-Available governors = InteractiveX
-Max CPU frequency = 1100MHz. (Resist the urge to set 1200MHz).
-Minimum frequency = as low as it will go.

13. Now it's time to format your SD card. Go to Settings > Storage and erase the SDcard, which should currently read approx. 1GB in size, and will list as the full size of your SD card after the erase is finished.

14. Now return to the desktop and open ROM Manager. Press "Flash Recovery," or the top option if I've forgotten exactly what this option says. From the list that will pop up, select Nook Color. Grant root permissions, and wait until the Nook tells you that it's complete.

DONE! Now proceed to advanced options if you want to get fancy.

Advanced options
1. After rebooting, open the Spare Parts application from the app menu and change the window/transition animations to FAST.

2. //EDIT: Since this guide was written, I have switched to Launcher 7 (screenshot), because I really like the interface for a tablet. With a little time in Photoshop or the free repos, this launcher looks very nice.

If you still prefer the stock launcher, however, you should seriously consider buying (yes, buy) a copy of ADW Launcher EX. Install it and go back to the home screen, where you will be asked what application you want to execute the task with. Select ADW Launcher EX and check that "remember" box.

ADW EX is one of many alternative solutions for the software that runs the application tray (you know, with all your app icons), but ADW EX is GPU-accelerated, which helps a ton to make the Nook Color feel smooth.

To play around with ADW EX's appearance, be sure to press MENU > MORE > ADW Settings from the desktop and tinker with the options. If you break something, just hit "reset ADW" from the ADW Settings menu.

I've played with ADW EX a lot, and I feel I have a great setup for ADW, so if you'd like to use my settings, extract this zip file to your SD card. When that's done, go to the "Backup and Restore" menu in ADWSettings, then select "restore ADW settings" and "restore desktop configuration."

3. I strongly recommend download and installing this theme, or this theme. Select them from the Theme Chooser app that comes with CM7 and reboot immediately after you've applied.

4. Want Netflix? Download "Nook Odds and Ends" from the Market and apply the Netflix fix. Reboot. After that, grab Netflix v1.4+ from the market and install it. It should work fine.

5. Make a backup of your install at this time by opening "ROM Manager" from the app tray and selecting "Backup Current ROM." The process is automated from here.

If you ever screw something up and want to restore that backup, turn the device completely off by holding the power button. Then power the device back on while holding the silver "n" button. You will be greeted with a black screen and teal text.

On this screen, set these options by navigating with volume +/- and pressing "n" to change options:
Boot device: eMMC
Boot Mode: Recovery

Then select BOOT NOW. Remember CWM? You're back here. Restore your backup by going to Backup and Restore > Restore > select whatever you named your backup zip in ROM Manager.

HELP! The market says all the apps are incompatible!
This is a known issue with custom ROMs and the Market, but there's an easy fix.

1. Reboot your Nook so you know that the Market application is not running.

2. Download and install ES File Explorer from here.

3. In the program, got to its settings and enable the two ROOT options. They're at the bottom of the options menu.

4. Once you've approved root access, return to the main UI and hit the SD card icon in the upper left corner.

5. Click on the "System" folder once the folder list finishes refreshing.

6. Open the build.prop file and choose to edit it with ES Note Editor.

7. Look for a line that reads "qemu.sf.lcd_density=###"

8. That number should read 161. Change it to 160, then save the file.

9. Reboot your Nook.

10. Once back in Android, go to Settings > Applications > Application Management. View the "all" applications tab and scroll down to "Market." Click on that, then hit the "Clear Data" button.

11. Launch the Market, accept the EULA, and you're done!

Improving performance and battery life
1. Download Nook Tweaks from the market.

2. Open it and go to the "Settings" menu. Uncheck 32-bit frame buffer. Apply the setting, but don't reboot when prompted, as there's more work to be done.

3. Now go to CPU settings and enter these values:
CPU Stepping 1 = 125MHz
CPU Stepping 2 = 300MHz
CPU Stepping 3 = 600MHz
CPU Stepping 4 = 800MHz
CPU Stepping 5 = 1100MHz
Check set on boot

Press the back button to return, then enter the voltage settings menu.

4. In the voltage settings menu, make it look like this. Then hit the menu button and click "save and apply," then "set on boot."

5. Reboot your device at this time.

TIP: Turn WiFi off if you're not using it, as it eats battery, and also try 25% screen brightness. The latter is a good compromise between the super-awesome LCD on the Nook and quick battery drain.
