The action memo to screen write worked to save my lost note. Thank you! Also, I did switch my animation speed to .5 a while ago. I'll change it back. Thank you for the helpful tips.

Tell me it's not Hill Climb Racing. That's like saying "Your favorite dog is the one causing all the arson in the neighborhood. We have to put him down". I guess if the video is the worst of it, I can live with it.

I've did some digging, and this appears to be the easiest and most current method. The others may work, but this is confirmed good with VRBMB1 Jelly Bean 4.1.2. Hope this helps. How To Root ANY Samsung Galaxy S3 4.1.2 & 4.1.1 – Verizon/AT&T/Sprint/T-mobile/I9300 Version ? Phone Rebel

The last two pages have been descriptions of rooting woes. My dad's S3 should be arriving in the mail soon. I'd like to get him on AOKP's MR1 build 6 right away. Just to be clear, do the methods in the first post, #2 specifically, achieve root in the latest firmware? I've got a lot of experience...

Just to be clear, this absolutely does not work with the Verizon GNex. The battery is a different size than the GSM GNex. The description is wrong.

Two threads below yours is the complete tutorial on rooting .621.

I know this is an old thread, but this seems like the best place to ask my bootstrap questions. First, do I have to reinstall bootstrap after flashing a new ROM or does the recovery survive a wipe and flash? What happens if I attempt to reboot into recovery without flashing recovery in bootstrap...

My battery died and my phone was stuck at the AOKP boot animation for 30 minutes plus when I plugged it in and fired it up. I did battery pull, wipe Dalvik and cache. No success. I needed to get my check book and DueToday tasks off of my phone, but I had no way to do it. I did a Nandroid...

I've been flashing Franco's kernels, starting at 169, which provided the best battery life for me. I went from 169 to 180, with a wipe and upgrade to AOKP 38, then to Franco 196. After leaving build 169 my battery life went down significantly. I don't know if it was going from AOKP 37 to 38 or...

After finally giving in and rooting the phone, installing the AOKP ROM, the Franco kernel, and FC04/05 radios, my battery life is phenomial, my quadrant score is around 3200 and the phone hasn't rebooted on me once since rooting. With around 1.5 hours of screen time, 2.5 hours of talk time I am...

I am running AOKP build 37 because I love all of the customizations that AOKP provides for me. I flashed the FC04/5 radios hoping for a more stable signal and better reception resulting in better battery life. Lastly, I flashed Franco's kernel build 169 hoping for better battery life from that...

I really like TouchPal by Cootek, but I am using an old version with the 12 key phone pad and predictive text. Super fast! I can share a dropbox link if anyone wants it. This is a video taken on my rickety, old Droid X. TouchPal on my Droid X - YouTube

Just to provide a little glimmer of hope, this link says the update won't kick off until 11:00 am est. Android 4.0.4 for Verizon Take it with a grain of salt.

I went through this very same issue. It got to the point where it would only charge with the phone powered down, and it finally quit charging all together. My solution was to have Verizon replace my phone under warranty. Problem solved. Before I swapped the phone out, I hard reset it, swapped...

I am getting 13 - 14 hours of battery with a combined 3+ hours of talk and screen time. It's better than my Droid X. I am unrooted with the stock battery running 4.0.2. Galaxy Nexus Battery Life - YouTube
