New to gnex rooms which is the most custom

[thirsy1258]

Hello all. I love ics and the gnex but the bad signal is forcing me to root. I gave just been busy and haven't done it yet. I am wondering which from has the most built in customized settings while being stable. I have watched a couple of videos and it looks like liquid has some cool customized features. Thx for the response. Also when romming in the past all the nandroid back ups are on the SD and since the gnex does not how does that work After a wipe

GNEX has a virtual sd card which is preserved when you wipe data in recovery mode (however, when you unlock the bootloader the first time around, it will erase EVERYTHING including the contents of your SD Card - so back up what you want to keep - pics music etc).

The most stable and feature rich roms at the moment are probably AOKP and Liquid and stable (milestone editions) of Droid Theory patient zero roms.

CM9 is not quite there yet but it will be very stable and will have a great many features when it's ready.

Thx for the help. I am going to install Liquid Smooth 1.3 for now. But what I don't understand is flashing a new radio? On my Tbolt and OG droid I never had to. So I am assuming I'm going to need to add that separate?

Yeah you can get the updated radios (cdma and lte) together in a flashable zip that you apply in clockworkmod recovery mode - this is the latest radio package (4.04) - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25213603/4.0.4Radios.zip

You can flash that in recovery (doesnst require data wipe, but you can clear cache and dalvik if you want it can't hurt).

btw this is the md5 to make sure the DL is good:

Thx Zero just loaded up Liquid with the Liquid extras now I will load the new radio. I really do thank you for the help. Sometimes when I try to go to clockwork and reboot into recovery I get a red ! with the Andy guy. I battery pull and do it again and it works. Kinda weird but what ever. Thx again.

I rooted and flashed new radio but still dropping data and calls I guess I'll be forced to ask verizon for a replacement. Any suggestions

Not trying to be a tool, just want to confirm that you looked in MENU-ABOUT PHONE to confirm that the BASEBAND shows the new radio? Should show FA02 / FA02 for 4.0.4 radios. Had an immediate effect for me, so if you are still having signal issues, it might be worth a call to VZ.

 

[thirsy1258]

My area is great. Had a tbolt with no data issues. My base and is Fa02 so not sure. The new radio improved my bars but it still cuts data randomly and for sure drops my calls. I figured everyone had this issue until I looked at my buddies

have you noticed if it's dropping out with 3g, 4g, or everything?

bc phones may react differently to different radios, so you might want to try different versions of the cdma (3g) radio, for instance, if you notice it's dropping alot on 3g.

 

[thirsy1258]

Actually no issue with 3g. Only data voice drop on 4g. Only thing I can't do on 3g is talk and surf. But never lost a call. I actually toggle my phone 3g only because its so frustrating losing 4g all the time. Sux having a 4g but only 3g phone. But its still nicer than my tbolt

What zero said, try other radios. All devices are different.

I remember back with my D1, I couldn't heavily undervolt the kernel. Others could go a lot lower than me, but my particular device didn't like it. Ultra low voltage kernels made me bootloop.

Radios are the same, because hardware isn't always the exact same. There are many versions. Play around with them, you may find a different version works better with your device that the newest ones. You can always flash back, just verify the md5's first.

I'm spelling this wrong I know try out sorsery 2.0. It has the most setting in a rom that I know of. And its been very stable for me. Example of the options.

Change soft keys and color within the rom
Change boot animation
Change the appearance of the pull down with a animated pic
Change phone animation ( cool animations like fly in and fly out when navagating screens)
Multiple battery styles
A list of most kernels to choose
Much more all from the rom itself
Also it updates it self . Might get new soft keys are wallpaper or what ever.

If you don't like the theme it comes with ( not my cup of tea) change it don't let the theme of the rom scare you off.

Gummy

Gummy

Gummy's a fantastic rom. IMO, AOKP and Gummy are the big two. I would have added CNA in there, and maybe even Liquid, but CNA is basically kaput and Liquid isn't as popular (yet).

 

[thirsy1258]

Thx all sorcery is the one I saw a while ago and forgot about I'll try that and gummy . Any sites to find a list of radios ? Thx and sorry for being such a noob I really appreciate the help.

Clearly not a real law student. Should have dropped a "See signature infra and accompanying guide."
