yeah im rooted lol, i could only last about a day unrooted
and this is the best way to unlock and root (and return to 100% stock if need be)

exactly this. I tried it with windows cmd and on linux nothing worked. so I got fed up and installed this, got it all set up, easiest root process i've ever done.

Out of topic. Metal spring have you rooted your gnex yet? If yes, could you provide me a link? I just got gnex a few hours ago

Try these links!

Be sure you set it all up, and do the usual "fastboot oem unlock" before going forward

Galaxy Nexus Toolkit

TeamWin Recovery Project 2.1.2

Faux 15u kernel (I recommend this one over franco's at the moment. 16 is almost ready, but currently on beta3)

[metalspring]

hmm, i know the #1 thing i like about franco kernel is that it seems to far surpass anything else with i/o speed...for example in benchmarks (like quadrant) the i/o parts of the tests are almost instant, on anything else they take forever...you have any idea chevy?

oh and to cowsquad, you might want to start on clockwork recovery touch, teamwin recovery takes some getting used to (i still havent exactly figured out how to tell if its all the way done making a backup)

I tried franco's kernel, and I got stuttering and some lag in opening up the app drawer. I tried Faux's and its smooth as can be.

As far as the recovery, when a backup is finished, it not only says its complete, but shows a huge button near the bottom that you can use to back up to the home menu.

Clockwork Touch really doesnt do anything. In fact, it seems like there's less there than there was in previous, non-touch versions. Theres just so much that CWR DOESNT DO.

It was weird when i did a backup for me though, it said complete as soon as i started it but it obviously wouldnt be...maybe i need to redownload and flash it again?

btw i just found out why franco kernel does so well in i/o scores, it has fsync disabled but most kernels keep it enabled for data safety...

CHECK THE OP! GNex and Droid 3 have been updated!

You should definitely have your own GNex dev section unless its easier for you to update everything in one place.

Used your roms on my D1 now GNex.

Correct me if I'm wrong on Gnex2000 I get text to speech not working on Google maps when in navigation.
I installed volume+ and Franco kernel121. So if no one is getting this I will reinstall.

I love the rom homie!

Now for some begging lol..can I put a request for dsp manager with Beats incorporated.

Thanks chevcam

Lol oh I missed it too

Anybody happen to know why I'm getting such crappy battery life? This was right after I sbfd and loaded up SD 10.2 RC 3 cleanly. Maybe the lv kernel is the only thing I could think of, but I'm not having any lag whatsoever, but I'm not sure if That would occur even if its not getting enough juice to satisfy the battery.

Edit: hmmm not sure why it won't let me upload the pic of my battery usage screenshot. Says I'm not logged in or don't have permission to perform this action and contact forum administrator ...weird. anyway, battery was at 15% with 2 hrs 13 mins which was shocking, with android OS at 3%.
