Well there really isn't much difference between the Bionic and the Razr except for a little different design and slightly better screen. The GNex would give you a 720p screen, ICS, and plenty of rom/theme options if you choose to go that route.

Only Sbrissen's "Build 8" (he's the CM maintainer after JT jumped ship with the teamhacksung fiasco) has the "stock" CM kernel.

hmmm I hadnt seen the kernel thread, other than the old ass one from the 3 months ago. was curious about what all was in it.

Jay should just wait for the next round of phones

With his luck he'll go through 5 Nexus' as well because of signal issues.

Talking about this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1488976

Yea the OP hasn't been updated but there are later kernels scattered in the thread itself. IIRC they're going to release something out of beta soon.

Long story short you'll already have the latest Glitch kernel by flashing Gummy, AOKP or the CM9 kangs.

[MikeH]

[SarkOzy]

[MikeH]

I'll worry about it when the phone comes. Hopefully Wednesday. Using teh Pixi backup for the time being.

Yeah, the GNex is the only phone that would give him any sort of real change since it has vanillas ICS and a higher res screen. The Bionic isn't old enough that current phones are THAT much more advanced. If he HAS to update then the GNex is probably the best phone but with his history of randomness (which seems to get worse when he roots) I'm not sure if the GNex is the right fit.

Pixi

But $30 spare smartphone ftw.

First of all you need NSTools. It's in the market. I've played around with every governor and Conservative is the smoothest by far. I leave the scheduler at "Deadline." Don't worry about undervolting.

First page in NSTools, make sure the LED timeouts are maxed so the BLN works, or not if you don't want it. Fast charge works the same as it did on the Nexus.




Like I said, Conservative governor is best. Set your minimum voltage to 200MHz since 100MHz makes the GPU run at half speed and hurts idle battery use. I don't use the LiveOC system since it caused so much battery drain for me. Deep idle can cause instability if you use it, but can save a little battery. I don't mess with the extra settings at the bottom.

[MikeH]

forgot about no LED. does BLN still rape battery?

[SarkOzy]

Na, it doesn't even register on the battery stats after a day of use. With the AOSP they use a different BLN system than the old TouchJizz based stuff did.

[MikeH]

Whats your average screen on with stock battery?

[stonehenge]

15mins

[MikeH]

Damn fassy aint suppose to be here til thursday

[JayBo]

The only ICS roms for the bionic have broken camcorder, no hdmi, and no hardware acceleration

[MikeH]

you can flash ICS but it has some issues it looks

What’s not working:
Recording Videos
HD Video playback
Face unlockl
Bluetooth causes audio issues
Other misc issues that all ICS builds have

otherwise there is just liberty or eclipse which are GB based.

[SarkOzy]

2.5 hours or so with 70% brightness. Pick up an Epic4G battery

[MikeH]

I saw they were $20, no thanks lol. If the battery is shot that comes with it then I will try an pick up a stock one on the cheap or just get a couple of the china ones.

This

http://www.amazon.com/Anker-1800mAh-.../dp/B0053F1SRG


2 AND a charger for <$25

[MikeH]

Thats 1/4 of what I paid for the phone. Not gonna invest money in something Im not going to keep. I can get an OEM one for less than $5, that will be the route I go if I have to.

[SarkOzy]

Also, official CM9 nightlies should start any day.

Well Amazon doesn't screw around with shipping. Already got my Nexus today. Got it rooted and aokp rom flashed so far.

Other than learning the differences between my old Inc. to the Nexus, I'm liking it so far.
