[Q] New to Nexus One. Got some questions. - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, Guys,
I just broke my old HD2, and though I should change another phone. Not a big fan of new phones, so bought an used Nexus One, which is with the same hardware as HD2.
But apparently, the development for N1 is not as popular as HD2. I went through the forum, and did not find many roms for N1. And there is not a thread that lists all the roms for N1.
I got a few questions, and hope some of you guys might be kind to help me with them
1. Is there a full HWA ICS rom for N1?
2. What is the most stable ICS rom for N1 right now?
3. What are some of the current unstable issues in ICS or JB for N1?
Anyway, I am still using the GB rom, and studying the instruction of installtion. Hope I can find a satisfied ICS or JB soon. ^^
Glad to be part of N1.
Cheers,

1.) Yes.
2.) Evervolv ICS, though it hasn't been updated for months (texasice has been working on Jellybean).
3.) Jellybean ROMs are all considered alpha releases but Evervolv JB 4.1 is fairly stable for me. Only issue I remember is not being able to use USB tethering, which I rarely use anyways. JB 4.2 is currently being worked on so the buglist is shortening as time goes on.
I'll let you find the links for these ROMs in the dev thread and fill in the blanks but this should serve as a quick and dirty summary. Btw, if you aren't already aware you'll have to learn how to use Blackrose (and possibly a2sd or m2sd) before you being playing around with ICS or later ROMs.

Just wondering, why didn't you purchase a used HD2? Since you already get used to that phone and like the custom ROMs in that section.

Well, the ICS/JB Roms have HWA, but not hardware accelerated video decoding/encoding, unlike the hd2

Actually, I have already bought three HD2 since I started to play with this phone. I bricked the 1st one after I burned the T-mobile rom into my HTC version HD2. I broke the screen of the second one, then I bought a broken 3rd one just to replace the LCD screen, then I seemed break the LCD connection cable.... Now I have three HD2 main boards and three broken screens... It seems I had no luck for HD2.
So I thought I should change another one, and I found a good price for this used N1 just for $70.

I think the guys are working on it??? It will be possible since the HW of N1 is the same as HD2?

Sense UI for Milestone (anyone tried it yet?)

Theres a sense ui rom that i found, looks like that the developer abandoned it, iv tried to port it into my milestone...but im just a novice user...so dont know how to tune the rom...hope some one here can further develop it...
http://forums.zeusdroid.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=25
ehh its zeusdroid.
the developer didnt abandon it, it just that it was a port from and HTC Desire, and porting a rom from GSM phone to CDMA is HARD!!
so his release is only in ALPHA not even beta yet.
i tried the past 2 versions and unless ur gonna partition ur sd card DONT bother!!!
its quite Pathetic how slow and unusable it is.
i just use froyo + HTC like clock widget, and thats enough for me

Begs the question are we talking about the GSM Milestone or the CDMA Droid since the OP asked about the Milestone....
And how does one port a ROM to a device with a locked bootloader in the first place?! (Kexec is yet to be up and running properly remember?) That could be a reason why the OP is having a hard time!!
I ask since there is also no Froyo on the Milestone until Motorola release it...
The issue actually has nothing to do with the bootloader but the radio libs. The Sense based builds make specials calls intended for an htc based ril. If the Ril doesn't know what to do with those calls there are all kinds of issues, as in the case of the droid/milestone.
Running a custom rom on the milestone is possible, in fact I had the latest CM compiled for the droid up and running on the milestone, but there were many many issues with it that I just couldn't work out.
actually is main flaw was that he used the Droid port in order to apply it to the phone witch litterally brick his modem ( sort of speak), he s worked around that and will be releasing this soon .
Tonight from what I gathered ..
/forums/401-motorola-milestone/553336-image-motosense-htc-sense-ui-port-milestone.html#post3981786
Add modmymobile.com before that link.
Anyway, it doesn't work on my Milestone, HTC logo just goes on in a loop.
Yep, the modmymobile one seems the more promising but loop on the HTC logo for me too :/
It seems that only the creator succeeded in making work it, anyway looking at the videos he posted it seem pretty much fluid, even if it has some problems in landscape mode.
Hope he will fix it soon...
Landscape would not be a problem for me. But it's weird it works on its Milestone and not our :/

Won't be a problem for me either, but it's very strange that it works only on his device :/
He also posted that reflashing the .36 ROM and applying the customisation led to another different result (works but not as fast as the previous try) :S
wrong thread
mod merge all the sens ui thread maybe ?

Are there any roms better than stock for this phone?

There was such a good selection on the desire.there appears to be such a limited selection on the galaxy s...none seem that good.
Can people recommend which is best and why? Looking for a fast and stable rom.
My rom is xxjm1 by the way.
Not yet, stock is still the most trouble free for now. Won't last long though.
Its my understand (and hopefullness) that most devs FroYo. Most (if not all) are just themed and optimized roms at the moment.
We want froyo !
Yes, most devs are waiting for froyo, just because everyone will want to upgrade, and there is just no justification to make a custom rom with 2.1 just for a few weeks.
Have you not tried SamSet? Dude there are about 4 different Custom ROMs on XDA :| how can you say there are no good ones as you haven't even tried any?
Devs are waiting for FroYo and Cyanogen Mod, that'll increase the ROM majority. The Desire has FroYo (Official) AND Cyanogen Mod, so there are tons of ROMs. Stock isn't the best atm, SamSets is the best for now.

first off, 4 roms is nothing.
Secondly, setzuna or whatever he is called produced a bog standard rom for the desire.
I want quality original roms. Hopefully asop pure roms like cyanogen.
The galaxy s roms are poop at the moment.
Really...
Desire has 6month head start, also helps when the desire is clone of nexus one which is reference dev gadget so what do you expect. Have look at other latest devices that came out in last 2 months and tell me if they even have roms yet, you have been spoilt.

Agreed, ROM selection for the Hero (my last phone) were much better. I've tried HackEclair, Doc's StockRomMod and SamSet (currently the one I'm using).
From reading the forums, it really does look like all the devs are just waiting on the official Froyo release. I also read somewhere that the ROMs must be based off of official firmwares or else they won't work, which would make sense why it's difficult to get Sense-like interfaces on the phone.
Either way, it's only a few weeks - if that - until the official Froyo!

Seriously? did you not even read my post at all?
you CAN'T produce a 'bog' standard ROM for the SGS yet, It's been done for the other Galaxy S version(s) (ASOP ROM) but that's in BETA stage and some features don't even work. We have to wait for Cyanogen.
If you really want 'quality' original ROMs make them yourself. The devs here do it in their free time and aren't doing this to tailor your every suit and need, and you don't pay them for it and they do it out of sole interest. SetENZA makes ROMs because he obviously enjoys it and the challenge, and shares it with the community, and you can't compare the SGS and Desire development, they're both entirely different and the SGS is newer, meaning the Desire has more backing.
How are they 'poop' if you haven't even tested a single custom ROM?
I agree that we need more development but seriously, if you are implying that no dev is making a good custom ROM at the moment then you are VERY wrong. SamSet is the most stable one for now, DocRambone is stripped entirely so check his ROMs out. You need to read up a bit more, we all know that there is slow ROM development and for a REASON.
Hurry up Sammy.

hi,
Please don't make these assumptions. I have tried a couple of the roms and am back to my original stock rom now because none of them seem better than it.
I also wasn't suggesting that people weren't making roms or that things won't get better. I am just disappointed its taking a long time. I had good 2.1 roms within a month of me having a desire, asop 2.2 within 2 months.
Anyhow, the roms have a long way to go it seems... They aren't the best at the moment but I'm sure they will be great soon enough.

Okay, fair enough
Yeah but with patience we will see a fair share of ROMs in the next month, i guess these things take time, the Desire did get pretty popular though as it is HTC and Samsung is known for being crap with updates, but now the SGS is getting better and slowly it will overtake the Desire, i assure you.
Once Froyo is released, i think we can expect more than 4 ROMs

Impt point to note is when Froyo is released by Samsung, because Samsung is known for its delays and lack of enthusiasm, that we all take for granted from HTC =( I miss my HD2 and Desire

Disagreed.
Yes, Samsung has been crap in the past but with this phone they're pushing a lot out. We are yet to see how they respond to the Froyo update and how they maintain it, so you may be right, but i think that in this case Samsung will release it and *hopefully* maintain it, if not then XDA is here to maintain all phones, of course
HD2 has potential for Android as it's been ported, but WinMo is horrible and the Sense interface just makes it that little bit better, so glad i ditched WinMo for Android. Desire is awesome but the inferior screen and sensitivity made me get the SGS because the hardware is just that little bit better

[Q] Is The Droid 4 Worth Rooting?

Ok, ive had the Droid 4 ever since about a week before it came out. Ive rooted, tried out every ROM that is available. I have decided to unroot until i see further development on this device. Anyways, does anyone know if we are going to start seeing any worthwile ROMs popping up, and if this phone was worth rooting? Thanks in advance.
Once the official ICS update comes out, and brings with it the ICS kernel, you wont see anything more then there already is (which in my opinion is pretty good aside from a few issues). You can only do so much when you try to run ICS on a Gingerbread kernel
So basically, its just going to be ICS ROMs? Will there be any ROM ports or anything? And we wont be seeing anything like what is available for htc phones? Sorry, i switched to the droid 4 from droid incredible, so bear with me.
There are rom ports now (CM9, AOKP, Gummy) but they are missing some functionality due to the underlying Gingerbread kernel. Unless they unlock the bootloaders for moto phones, you will never see the same kind of development like you see for HTC phones aka custom kernels and what not. Once official ICS drops though you will start seeing fully functional ICS based roms for the D4 (aka fully working camera and hardware codecs)

[Q] N1 problem solutions?

Hello everyone. I was planning to buy a used HTC Nexus One but I read about all the problems it has and had second thoughts. I had researched and found the following:
*To solve the broken power button- Download "Any unlock" from Google play
*To solve the inactive screen during calls- Download "Call Delay Patch" from Google play (can someone please verify this?)
I have also read about :
(i) camera not working(I saw a topic about clearing the camera's data which worked for some ppl and didn't work for other ppl)
(ii) X- screen problem(I have no knowledge about this) ,and
(iii) Wifi not connecting(I read about using "wifi fix" but not sure if it fixes this)
which are the problems that I couldn't find a solution to.
All of the above is considering it's on 2.3.6 official.
Basically I want to buy a N1 after selling my Samsung Galaxy Ace but I'll only do that if I have a solution to the major problems (such as the wifi and call problem) the N1 has. Is it worth it? Thank you

Well, you are kinda late on the N1 bandwagon aren't you mate? All things said and done, the N1 is a great, unique phone. I've had it for the past 3 years and it has never given me any problems. If you plan on sticking to the stock 2.3.6 ROM, you will not encounter any problems other than maybe the power button problem ( which if you are lucky/careful you might not have to face)
There are no problems with WiFi or Calls ( I think these are problems faced by users who have gone the Custom ROM route and have put a heavily modded JB or ICS ROM on their phones). If you were to flash, say stable CM 7.2, then you will rarely come across any such issues.
They don't make 'em like these anymore

I have two N1.
One is stock (GB 2.3.6) The other (JB Rom) is my backup and toy for taking advantage of the great work of the dev.
None of them have the issues you mention.
I enjoyed very much this phone until I got the Galaxy Nexus.
I intend to keep my N1 backup for the foreseeable future (I mean my future).
Yes, for me, it is a keeper.

Haha yeah very late Oh that's good to hear I saw a lot of posts in these forums about these problems and some were old and some were new so I wanted some clarity. Thanks for the info! I was planning not to root the phone also so that's good. I'm tired of the samsung interface on my phone so i wanted a change.

I have two N1 too. One is AOKP ICS as my daily driver and the other is JB CM 10. Indeed, I just bought a brand new N1 (got a good deal) and upgraded to AOKP ICS and gave to my father to use. I like the N1 because it fits nicely in the pocket and reasonable size.

Oh so you haven't had any of the problems I mentioned above? That's my only concern with buying the N1.
Again, as long as it's stock or a stable Custom ROM, no need to worry about any problems. It's a reliable phone.
Okay thanks. Btw on the N1 wiki it says super one click works only up till 2.3.3 . So if the android version is 2.3.6 i'll have to root it without using Super one click?
either u can downgrade it to 2.3.3 n root or else try www.unlockroot.com
but a simple solution is to unlock the bootloader...

Yea, actually, the simplest one is to unlock the boot loader and flash the su.zip file to gain root access. There are numerous tutorials on the web which let you do that.
To summarize, the steps would be:
a) Unlock bootloader
b) Flash the recovery image. (CWM or AmonRA)
c) Copy the su.zip onto the SD card.
d) Reboot into recovery to flash that zip file and voila, root access.
OKay thanks a lot !
I'm using a 3 year old nexus one I bought on these forums over 7 months ago. It looks really beat up but has never needed any repairs including the power button. I've had stock 2.3.6 then cm7 then 4.1 for a couple months then cm7 again. It's always been pretty good. Only issue is occasional digitizer going nuts which is common but only a minor annoyance.

Stock Android ROM

Hi all,
Is there a stock android ROM 4.2.2 similar to the Nexus 4 available to the HTC One. Had a little look in the Development section couldn't find one.
With the announcement of the HTC One Nexus Experience it has perked my interest however there's a possibility it won't come to the UK, therefore looking at getting a One and putting a stock ROM on it.
I am aware of Cyanogen Mod however I'm not a fan of it.
look again
If you look in the right section you'll find some...

...yeah, no.
Talk about disrespectful....CyanogenMod is the closest you're going to get to bone-stock Android for a long time. The NE was only announced today. It doesn't even start shipping for another month.
Could have put two and two together...

I get that this seems to be a popular assumption, but that's not as much of a given thing as many of you would like to hope. HTC isn't obligated to release the source code for the NE One (only the kernel). If they bake Beats/Camera stuff into that ROM, there's no guarantee that our CM10.1 build will get it.
I have no doubt someone will turn the NE's ROM into a rooted stock ROM for you to flash, but I really wouldn't expect it to help CM10.1 all that much.
Once the release the HTC One with stock rom, will it be easier to port it?
Will we be able to get a fully functional working rom?

Of course it will be easy to port it. Porting aosp roms to the LG Optimus G is dead simple because internally it is identical to the Nexus 4. Same logic applies here

Jheez, don't think I'll ever bother asking a question again no need for the rudeness!
And for the individual who took offence to me to not liking CM its personal preference I've never liked CM same way I've never like the AOKP either. It sure is a widespread popular ROM and I'm not insulting the developers in fact I respect anyone who can come up with a good stable ROM for android phones.
