Hello everybody.
I ordered my Nexus One yesterday- It's shipping right now. Can't wait!
But, I'm curious if it's worth unlocking the bootloader and installing Cyanogen Mod when it arrives. I know that unlocking the bootloader voids the warranty, and installing CM might brick the phone if I do it wrong, but I've heard CM adds some pretty good features. (Apps on SDCard, extra Live Wallpaper features, etc.)
So, is it worth it? Would appreciate any advice.
The only thing that could brick your phone is the radio update not Cyanogen Mod. I wouldn't recommend doing it till 2 weeks - a month after having the phone and making sure it works well
Are apps on Sdcard worth it to you? Extra live wallpaper?
How would we know what you rate as very important?
Do you think I should wear blue socks tomorrow?

I was just asking what general features and reasons to upgrade to it over the Stock ROM. But to answer your question, I don't have it yet, so I can't really say much, but I do browse the web, download stuff/apps, listen to music, play games, etc.

What about tethering, himem and other fixes??

Yeah - what about them?
If OP finds it important, go for the ROM - otherwise don't.
Pretty easy, eh?

I do find tethering important, and other fixes would be a good thing. But high memory...I never heard that part about the ROM, how does it give you more memory? (I know I sound like a noob)

I gives more memory by utilizing memory the standard setup does not use.
This only really matters if you install a lot of apps and don't use apps2sd.
I suggest you search and read the forums more.

Actually that's not true.
The himem kernal frees up RAM while apps are stored on the ROM. The only correlation is if you have a lot of apps running more RAM will be helpful (speed) , but it doesn't apply to storing them
look its up to you guys but from my experiences i well never look back
the stock was laggy compared to CM
some of the apps you can get such as
auto memory
cm updater
droid wall (awsomest app eva)
metamorph
shootme (ok its not the best but pretty cool lol)
N1 Flash light
apps to sd
there heaps more but its also CM mod
like he has put a way to wake up the phone with the trackerball
best thing ever
change songs while asleep by holding the volume button
all the updates that will be coming to the nexus one (such as flash)
so dont worry bout that
The only downside is the whole voided-warranty thing. If you don't mind that (I don't - I unlocked my bootloader on day 1 with the N1), you LOSE nothing. There isn't even a risk of bricking your phone - CM doesn't touch the bootlaoder or the recovery, so you can always reflash CM or flash something else.
Unlocking the bootloader (regardless of ROM choice) lets you use a hacked recovery, which gives you backup and selective wipe options - a must for playing with your phone.
CM's ROM gives you faster performance, a faster update cycle, plus tons of cool features: root access included, trackball wake, himem, dalvik cache in /cache (frees up lots of app space if you don't use apps2sd). Plus, pretty much all of the kernel developers out there (IntersectRaven, Ivan, Pershoot, etc.) use CM's source for their overclocking and undervolting (improving performance while improving battery life) experimentation.
Yes its worth flashing for higher mem and other little goodies that come with the ROM. Had my phone for barely a hour and rooted it. Now i use cm updater whenever i want to use a newer ROM and im good to go. CM updater made the reinstall process super easy.

Yes.
It is.
I have yet to see a thread where someone says "OMFG I VOIDED MY WARRANTY FOR THIS CRAP? I WANT STOCK NEXUS BACK!"
of course, maybe I missed it....
I love the ability to play FLAC files on my Nexus with the CM
so i just flashed cognition 3.04, and i love it. so much smoother and faster. i was tired of waiting for the officail 2.2 froyo release. the only thing that i dont understand is that it says that the unlock screen should be the stock glass pane swipe thing. but its not. its just the standard froyo unlock screen. not a big deal just wondering about it. so i guess thats my question.
More people requested stock lockscreen over the glass one. It's really upto DG to change whatever he wants in his rom. I guess he likes to satisfy all his followers
yeah i am not upset with the lockscreen. just wondering if i missed something. its a really nice rom. now i am wondering what else should i add to the phone. i want to keep this rom but maybe overclock it next.

lol i did read everything in the change log. even researching the things i didnt understand, which was quite a few. ha. but your right. i mistook that for meaning the STOCK captivate lockscreen. and also the two large screenshots threw me off, since the picture posted by designgears of the rom layout clearly shows the lock screen being the glass style one. but if thats the only mistake i made then so be it. what overclocked kernal do you guys recommend with the cognition rom.

No worries man, just thought I would make sure you knew it was in the change log. I personally am not using a OC/UV kernel because every time I have it has killed my battery. I just left Serendipity for that reason. I have run both Hardcore and Glitterballs kernels and I just never had good luck like others have had.
yeah i probably will leave it alone for now. but i feel i want to do more. any suggestions for other stuff i can add/do to the phone now.

That is the beauty of these phones; I was running Serendipity and just yesterday alone I had to charge twice because it killed my battery. I was running extremely mild settings so I would try and help my battery and it still died. That is why I went away from it, but my phone has been that way with all OC/UV kernels. On the other hand with Cognition I flashed yesterday at 85% battery (yes everyone says flash from 100% and I don't care lol) and after 14 hours I am at 70% battery with normal use for me. If I were on Seredipity or any other OC/UV kernel my phone just sleeping would die. It sucks how much of a difference these phones have between each other.
15% drop in 14 hours.....normal use... :/

If you dont cut out the rest of my sentence it says at the end "for me". So simply changing the rom immediately made my battery better because i had serious issues on serendipity. Please dont take a part of what i said and try to twist it around.

I only speak for myself and my stats. I was using that point based on what i have had happen. I have used my phone more today than the previous couple because the battery lasted. On serendipity which is a good rom overall i would lose atleast 35% during the day with airplane mode on. Working in a clinic att does not work in my area so i keep it on to help savebattery. Too bad my phone hates oc/uv kernels.
This is my captivate. There are many like it buy this one is mine.
well i havent charged the battery since i flashed it and its still at 42 percent. and i have been messing with it alot. so apparently my phone loves cognition. ha. but i was wondering if its possible to put the touchwiz app drawer back in. i liked it better since you can move the apps where you want.
Hey guys,
I love my Captivate and I don't want to have to replace it but I'm having serious issues. I installed Cyanogenmod 10 and Devil Kernel and overall its been working ok. But the phone is SO SLOW! From wake up, it sometimes takes about 5 - 10 seconds before it will register that I've done something and even then it takes another 5 - 10 seconds to start an app. Rebooting helps for a little while, but the slowness comes right back.
Most of the time it will freeze up after an input and then do everything I asked it to do in about 2 seconds, then freeze up again.
I've got it OC'd (which I had hoped would help) and I'm using wheatley governor in Devil Kernel. Doesn't seem to make a difference over stock settings. No force closes or instability just absolute gridlock when trying to do anything. Any suggestions or ideas?

Thanks for the tips! I am really good about closing apps that I am not using, and I try to restart my phone at least once a day (but that really shouldn't be necessary). I know Android and task killers don't get along - any suggestions on something that might work?

Have you tried the Devil settings in the link?
As for task killers, I personaly use ATK (no auto-kill) when I know I'll require some extra RAM for what I'm about to do but unless you have some rogue app taking all your RAM, 5-10 seconds lock shouldn't happen.
Slow performance usually comes from lack of free RAM, therefor, there has to be something (app most likely) using too much. Other thing could be that your phone is too full, so either too many apps (100+) and/or not enough free space on your SD card (less than 1gb).
Does it happen randomly or with specific apps? If specific, are those apps from restore or fresh install?
Q.1
As I said I had problem with SU Binary on my Galaxy note GTN7000.Is the SU-Busybox the same for ICS/JB so I can just update my busybox?
Q.2
I try to flash the Ultimate_N7000_XXLSC_JellyBean with PhilZ-cwm6-XXLS7-XJB-3.1-signed and when I full wipe,format what it needs I try to install the ROM and I have this error message:E:Installition Aborted.emb/Ultimate_blah_blah_blah cantbe installed.Its the kernel? Where do I wrong?
Q.3
I see some users after answering or asking something have something like "Logo".I see they have ----------------- to separately there post after posting and then they add their logos

1. Should work fine with both ICS and JB, changes in 4.1 were not that great for the apps not to work.
2. Most likely a bad download, try downloading again.
3. I think you're talking about "signature" feature, it's in your user panel.

Hey, just a heads up on my experience with JB/UltimateN7000. My advice is don't do it..
I had the latest ICS stock German version with root, and mostly everything was acceptable. Default Samsung home screen was very smooth at first, but as I install apps (about 20 apps, no games) and use it more, it gets slow after about a week. Then I install Nova Launcher, and it's much better (smoother and responsive) than the Samsung launcher, but it feels slow time by time as if the device is already showing it's age. (I bought this for $600 in April 2012, and it already has 3 tiny cracks on the thin rim that wraps the screen, never been dropped, no scratches anywhere.)
I keep hearing about how JellyBean is wonderful and all, the awesome project Butter, and that it's going to be the true cure to make everything fast and smooth, competitive enough against Windows Phone and iPhone.
This is the same promise that ICS had when we were on Gingerbread. Lack of hardware acceleration on the graphics was the explanation back then. Even after ICS, it's still not as smooth as the competitors even with superior hardware.
I installed this XXLSC based Ultimate N7000 (had stock leaked JelleyBean for couple days before), I'm sorry to say this, but the performance really sucks. I understand that it could be due to this being a leaked ROM, but I'm kind of worried about this device's future. I wonder how are you guys are using your devices with leaked JellyBean.
What's with the lock screen, the overwhelming ink drop effect? The hardware is clearly lacking, but why are they (Samsung) trying to shove stuff in?
What's with the the pull down (notification) menus' small buttons on the top - springing back every single time wasting CPU cycles?
The dialer still takes 2-3 seconds to pull up. Opening contacts, or switching to recent call history tab makes me hesitate because it takes so damn long. This was a problem also in ICS.
Did you guys try the Camera app? Try taking a picture, and then try to review the picture you just taken. How long does it take? Mine takes about 30 seconds, and it lags horribly while doing all that. Now try that on a iPhone, it takes less than 10 seconds, and no stutter at all. (No, I hate iPhone's closed eco system so no thanks.)
It's like playing a FPS shooter game with high quality graphics/every effect enabled but only at 15 FPS, when it could play 30 FPS with lower graphics quality/effects. (I would much prefer at least 60 FPS though.)
I'm going back to my ICS stock backup for now, and maybe later on when Samsung releases JellyBean, and some developer makes a lean version, or do it myself, and I'll try it again.
It's just sad to see that a relatively powerful dual core phone is too slow to function satisfactory these days.
Lastly, thanks to the developers, and sorry for the vent. Please don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to mock you or anything. I really do appreciate you and every other developers out there.

Most folks here don't use that anymore and for good reason, the script does more harm than good. Most of the custom ROMs/kernels are pre-tweaked these days for the most part and a script like V6 tends to just clash with them. That being said, if you are still are determined to use it all you need is Script manager from Play. Download the V6 script and then run it using that app. At least make a nandroid so you can undo things if the results are undesirable for you.
Yea I just won't. But this phone is an OK phone but I want to try and squeeze as much ram and not to make it run behind like it does really well on slim bean 4.1.2 but I just want to get everything out of this phone as I can.

Try Auto Killer to manage the RAM, it's about as good or better than anything. Just always keep in mind that with only 512mb of RAM and less than 360mb usable RAM you will never get a lag free experience unless you use a Gingerbread ROM.

Really? While you do make some good points, I'd have to disagree with you about a couple of things. First off, using auto killers isn't a good idea with Android, period. They do more harm down the road, causing instabilities in the ROM and apps. There are several write-ups about this around the web - just search and you'll find them. Secondly, even the stock TouchWiz GB is slow and laggy, as is Peach Sunrise and all the other GB ROMs. Sorry, but it's true. Some ROMs might seem okay, but when it comes right down to it, Jelly Bean has been a major improvement in overall speed. I'm sure if you put 2 Exhibit's side-by-side with stock Gingerbread and a vanila JB AOSP (such as SuperNexus), compared the speed and responsiveness, the JB device would win hands-down.
There are ways to help with the performance of this phone, however. There's a whole thread dedicated to it right here. Something not mentioned there because that thread is a little dated, is the beautiful app known as Greenify. Essentially, what Greenify does is freeze/unfreeze apps on-the-fly. It's a similar method to how you do it with Titanium Backup or other apps that can freeze apps, but Greenify does it in such a way that the apps don't disappear from the launcher, and will unfreeze them as soon as they're opened. When they're frozen, they won't take up precious RAM, CPU cycles, and won't drain the battery. Due to it's nature of freezing apps, it's not recommended to use Greenify on the launcher, live wallpapers, icon packs, or anything you use widgets with. All other apps (especially Facebook) are fair game. Good luck!

Actually I have the answer courtesy of Hatememarkez. NOS script: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2158329
As I just posted over in the Pacman thread amazingly I was able to get Gnow, Maps, Poweramp and Boat Browser running at the same time and my phone did not freeze up. No lag even. I'm in shock right now with the hell I've been through with this phone.
I know about Greenify but frankly I don't think it does much as I didn't get battery improvement or performance improvement out of it. Reason being your biggest resource eater in JB are Google apps. Greenify won't keep them hibernated. Seeder helps a little bit, but just a little.
On those GB ROMs, forget Peach. I'm talking about RebelROM and CM7. They are the fastest ROMs we have for this phone, just my opinion as I've used about everything that is offered for this phone. Although right now Baked Bean in conjunction with NOS is kicking major a** so I may have to amend my comments. Thing is I've been burned every time I say something like that so who knows. If a week from now things are the same, then it's V-day!

Do you know if NOS script would work with slimbean 4.1.2?
it should just read the thread and do a backup

Read the two threads to compare but far as I'm concerned the difference is that NOS actually works for the ROM and not against it. It's also MUCH easier to install than that cumbersome script V6 uses.

I would read the threads but I'm an amateur at this stuff, so I'm can't really understand the jargon yet. I'm looking into trying NOS though; how can I check my busybox version?

Just open the Busy Box app and it will tell you. If you install updates from Play you should have the latest version though.

Thanks. I looked from the busybox app and it only lets me install up to 1.20.2. The NOS script requires 1.20.4?

Look closer, it's 1.21.0. If not you need an update from Play.
