Will this work on precedent

 

What's the problem with ubuntu, Johnny? 64 bit 12.04 has been my os since a month after release. It doesn't lend itself to development but I dual boot with 32 bit 11.04 to do kernels and such. I have to keep Windows in a virtual box so I can watch Netflix though. That's my only gripe about Linux. And I never got used to unity, I use kde and/or Cairo

 

can't you just format your current appliance and install 10.04 fresh?

 

bought a 16Gb Nexus 7. my prevail is now essentially just a mobile hotspot.

seriously the best device i've ever owned or even used. supremely fast, portable, battery like nobody's business. it has no rear camera because if they did that it would be THE perfect device. i wouldn't feel like a heel snapping pictures or movies with this thing.

sure, i've tried compiling and tweaking roms and tinkering with kernels but it works great right out of the box so all that's just for the hell of it... educational value.

I do run paranoid android for the status bar tweaks, but no overclock, no ram scripts, no lag, no crashes. ever.

it's so good it's almost no fun, if that makes any sense. unlock and root took 3 minutes. i may sell it for a 32Gb version with 3g and get a T-Mobile sim. they have the $30/mo unlimited data/text plan which would suit this guy just fine. i use less than 100minutes talk time monthly anyway and i can get an unlocked galaxy nexus cheap and just swap the sim over when i want to call someone.

anyway, that's where i've been. you been keeping at it?

edit: as for the vm, i use virtualbox so i'm not sure how vmware does it but any official iso from ubuntu has worked just fine for me. in fact, any iso i've thrown at it works. i have used arch, gentoo, slackware, backtrack5, peppermint (which is very nice as a daily) and some more i can't think of but they have all installed fine. what seems to be going wrong?

 

I couldn't agree with you more! The nexus is a BEAST!
I'm also running Paranoid Android. This thing is SOOOOO smooth.
As of now... my pevail is just being a phone/modem... admittedly an awesome phone/modem but still...

I even have Tablet Talk so I can Bluetooth pair the two and use my n7 to send texts through the prevail... (although I did oc it, but its the default with the kernel I'm using, so I left it)
Check it out

 

Unable to save oc settings as init.d script.

 

i tried the camera and its still not working

wondering if there is anything being in the works or if this is a dead project.

let me know guys thanks

 

As far as I heard, there are NO camera drivers available !!

 

In the init.d script there a line that say "wait 20"

Change to "wait 40"

Will stick unless you wipe dalvik cache

But if you reboot again right after that it will fix itself

 

anyone having problems loading up CM9 to a unsecured wireless conection this is a way I have solved it for myself.

(not sure if its been mentioned before but here it goes)

go to wireless settings
scan
goto add new network
type in the name of the unsecured network
then turn off and turn on wireless connections
and it should automatically connect

once again to all those who had a hand in making this ROM thank you.

 

yes it does, ive been using it on my precedent from its first Alpha release

 

Long press, connect to network

 

ok so i have CTMOD with clockwork but i found this, can install that in my prevail? or do i need to install CM9 first?

 

This is cm9... how would you install this before you install this?

Just be aware that its still an alpha, meaning not everything works (namely the camera and the video playback)

 

sorry for being dum here but do u need to be rooted to do this? is there a vid on how to do this? never done this before but i want ics on my prevail

any help

 

You need cwm recovery. U can pop ur phone into download mode and flash that via odin, then flash this in cwm. Follow the directions for both, make sure you have the right boot loaders to if coming from froyo.

 

What's the difference between cm7 and cm9? Not trying to sound like an idiot, but this is the only Rom I haven't tried. Does it run better than cm7?

 

Cm7 is gingerbread (2.3.7)
Cm9 is ice cream sandwich (4.0)

Cm7 is fully functional.

Video playback and the camera don't work on cm9... beyond that its very functional

 

Thank you, I'm going to stick with this magical cm7. ;-)
