[Verizon] Sourcery 4.2.1 Pre-Release Thread

[Steven58]

I'm on it and it the best 4.2 for gnex I've seen with regard to features. So, head over to irc.freenode.net to get the d/l link.

My initial review is that it's worthy of the sourcery name, which means quality to me.

been on it since last night. overall great 4.2.1 rom.

couple things i noticed, the landscape transition of the lock screen is kinda sluggish and battery is so so. had phone calls hang up immediately after i dialed. rebooted to solve. the signal and bluetooth went in and out a few times too.

of course it's a test build. just wanted to give the devs some input.

it has a buttload of features, nice work, looking forward to the official release.

Been fantastic for me as well! Preview 1 here.

 

[tdevaughn]

Hmmmm, Preview 1.....so far behind the times already.

 

[bcote311]

alright!! keep em coming!! just got home so flashing now!! any word on what was added from prev 1 to prev 2?

 

[tdevaughn]

Screenshot on the nav bar is fixed. Browser seems better fur those having the issue... Lots of tweaks

 

[SweatyPits]

flashed preview 2 this morning, better than the first. eta on the official release? thanks

 

[SweatyPits]

one bug i did notice, when trying to add another icon to the nave bar, it shows up the same colors as the key, and all you can see is the shape of the icon in that color.

Can't wait to get home and flash! I didn't bring the nex to work today, brought the tbolt as i was feeling nostalgic.

 

[droidobsessed]

No issues for me with preview 1 or 2

 

[Steven58]

#2 is the best 4.2.1 rom. I've tried all. Nothing's close.


****NEVER JUDGE BATTERY UNTIL AFTER AT LEAST A DAY'S USE OF SAID ROM*****

All: the place to report bugs for pre release is the irc channel...it doesn't do much good here, ty.

I downloaded it, checked MD5, got Gaaps from Goo but it won't boot up. Gave me some Google wizard error. So I reinstalled my nandroid. Any ideas? Never saw that before.

I'm using 11/30 gapps and it works great... did you wipe? data/cache/dalvik?

Which gapps? what was the error?
the more you can relay the easier it would be to find an answer

 

[Dabitz]

I used the download latest Gaap feature. I'm manually downloading 1130. The error was a popup saying Google wizard has stopped and it wouldn't go away. The weird thing is that now root explorer only sees a few directories. It won't see gallery or downloads folder. I guess I will try again.

 

[tdevaughn]

in root explorer... go to data/media and move folders into data/media/0
you should be able to then see all your info

 

[Dabitz]

Oh so the new version moves the card contents to that /0 folder. That explains why my restore couldn't see anything. I moved them back to sdcard and I'm OK now with 3.2. Don't know how this happened. I did a clean install as always. I think my gaaps were corrupted.

Jb 4.2 has a new file structure to accommodate multiple users. This is the new normal

I have tried multiple 4.2.1 ROMS now - and they all create another 0 folder. So at the moment I have 6 0 folders. It's ridiculous. TiBu doesn't know wtf to look. GRRR

Trying this out later. Looking forward to it. Thx for the heads up

I don't know where the demand came from for multiple profiles, either. If the majority of mobile Android devices are phones, do people really share those?

A tablet I can more understand, but unless they're trying to get ahead of the game, the necessity has been lost on me.

Update your recovery and that issue will be solved. Multiple/0 folders is due to the recovery not understanding the multiple user ability of 4.2

 

[Dabitz]

Thanks again guys. I'll try again tonight.

for those of us not on irc, is there a direct link to the d/l somewhere?

Just go here Team Sourcery IRC | ….Team Sourcery…. and type in a username (anything will do, its just what you show up as in the chat window) and enter the pass phrase. The download link will be up top, make sure to click the LTE choice, not GSM.
