[ROM] CyanogenMod 9 [BETA] (DX) (8/19)

[HowardZ]

Downloaded Verizon mobile for galaxy nexus.
it works
can see data and minutes usage

my own app that I
sell does not work properly for some functions.

Yes lowvolt,

After getting the error message about the email widget, I went into settings, added an account, a POP3/SMTP email account. Still got the error message. Then I went into settings and added my yahoo email account. Still got the error message when trying to add the email widget to the desktop. This is not a major problem, but I liked being able to see
on the desktop the next unread email message.

What was nice is that all my apps got installed automatically after installing CM9. My guess is that Google had kept track of what apps I had installed and was now reinstalling them. They were being installed via the market place, because only one app failed - the one that I did not buy, but had found on the internet. I liked this.

I also am missing the Verizon app which shows me how much DATA I have used thus far during the monthly billing cycle. If clicked it also used to show how many minutes of talk time has been used. It might be possible for me to reinstall it using my Titanium Backup backups, however my friend at work told me not to do this as TiBu is for restoring to the same version of the operating system.

The older versions came with many useful widgets already on the desktop. With CM9 I need to do this myself - not a big deal.

IMPORTANT QUESTION: When 13th angel releases a newer version of CM9, what steps do I need to do?
Hopefully, just clear the two caches? I wouldn't like to be losing all my settings and apps on every upgrade.

Thanks Howard

Just wipe cache and dalvik when installing rom updates.

As for restoring via Titanium backup, I do it all the time just fine. Just don't restore app data especially to system apps.

I actually restore My Verizon from Titanium with no issues

chrome beta for ics is available and appears to work on cm9

Well that is a deal breaker for me...two things I have to have in my job are the BT phone and the Camera. I was unaware of the BT issue until I noticed the Camera issue was fixed and started checking posts and seeing what needed to be done to install the ROM. Oh well, guess I will be waiting longer...I really want ICS too. :icon_evil:

I had to wait for camera support, BT is something I use, had I known it was not working, I probably wouldn't have jumped, but having tasted CM9 goodness I'm not going back, I'll deal with not calling anyone on my 3.5 hour commute twice a week.

I downloaded it. It's "working" but displays a blank page. Therefore, I don't see how this is working.

I take it back about the Chrome Beta.
It appeared to work - no blank screen like I get with Opera Mobile,
but I can not actually view any web pages with it.

I am trying to get FoxFi, Wireless Tether, or the CM9 built-in WiFi-AP working.
Not getting good results thus far.
Only Wireless Tether seems to work - but it seems very slow.

In general which is considered best - CM9 or gummy?
I am using CM9.

How can I add additional ringtones?

Seems like it needs to be in SD card's Ringtones folder,
and then reboot CM9.

I prefer Gummy since its CM9 with more customization and features. As for Chrome, CM9/Gummy doesn't support that yet on the X. I use Wireless Tether and its the same speed as its always been. I use it for my Xbox.

You can do that, but my favorite way is to use a computer and convert the ringtone to a .ogg file then place it in /system/media/ringtone.

To move from CM9 to gummy,
do I need to go to factory defaults again?

Great job on this ROM!! It's fantastic.
Can you please change the two lines in the /system/build.prop file from

ro.HorizontalBUA = true
ro.HorizontalVVM = true

to

ro.HorizontalBUA = false
ro.HorizontalVVM = false


I am on verizon and when I try to install their visual voicemail app, it says the functionality is built into the phone and that I should uninstall the application, but it isn't (it then forces closed).
This fixed my problem.
I plan on updating my phone with the newest builds and it would be a little tedious to change this every time.

Original info:
Visual Voice mail cannot be installed

Sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong spot! I'm new here.
Thanks again for this wonderful ROM!

Yes,
I find Gummy is even better than CM9 !

CM9 and Gummy feels like I am getting a new smart phone for free.

 

[lowvolt]

Gummy has not so good battery life either
