ICS on 9020A - Nexus S General

I'm considering buying a used NS 9020A and was wondering if ICS will officially be supported on this model.
Is it possible to manually flash ICS if no OTA is ever available ?

Possible, but you'll need a custom recovery. Either way you will need that as you'll be wanting to change the radio driver.

It is definitely coming so you don't need to install custom recovery unless you don't want stock.

Just hold out a touch longer. Now that 4.0.4 is in the pipe I have a feeling real updates will resume soon.

How to find NEXUS S model#
Someone offered me a used NEXUS S originated in the UK.
On the box the model is listed as I9020. no A nor T.
How can find the actual model ? I need to know if 850 band is supported by the hardware (UMTS)

In my case the i9020a model number is found on a label under the battery compartment.

I don't think 9020T supports 850, just 1300/2000(then again I could be wrong)

If it does not have 9020a on the label under the battery it does not have the 850 band for AT&T.

I have this model and as you can plainly see I am running a custom ICS* ROM. I don't understand why you would want stock ICS. It is buggy, slower, and the battery drain is significant. Flashing custom ROMs would be much better . There is a port for the 4.0.4 version already available

Anyone install AOKP 4.0.4 on their tablet?

http://forum.aokp.co/page/releases/_/milestone-5-r20
I've run this on my galaxy nexus before and its amazing. Was looking through supported devices and see the a500 is supported. Anyone try this? I wonder if I can just go ahead and flash or what. Obviously this takes it too ICS so I don't know about bootloaders.

Flashed it yesterday. You need to be on ics bootloader or flash the boot.img found in the cm9 thread directly after flashing the rom. Haven't had any stability issues and its pretty fast but there are still some bugs with some of the rom control options.

New to the tab 10.1 few questions

So I got this tab from a friend for free and need to make it better.
First I need to figure out the teems I'm reading in development. I see things like p4 and p4wifi. According to my settings this is a GT-P7510. Does that = a p4wifi?
Second I know how to root (have a GS3) but not sure which rom is the one I want. I'm thinking of going to JB, but I've read something about updating the boot loader. I haven't seen any threads on that though.
Any help you could give would be great.
Yes gt-7510 = p4wifi
And if you want jelly bean you need to flash the newest recovery. You can find them all with instruction on this site: droidbasement.com
En welcome to the club bro

To upgrade bootloader, you could use Odin to put a stock 4.0.4 rom on it and then flash the latest CWM to flash CM10.

You don't have to upgrade it to use CM10, but it helps.
Also new to the galaxy tab (but familiar with flashing roms, kernels, etc). I see 2 development sections, so what is the difference between 10.1 and 10.1v. Thx guys.

If I remember that far back the "v" was an early model, very thick different camera specs and processor speed. As soon as the 10.1 came asking in June 2011 the v sank without trace.
To answer OP am running AOKP jellybean 4.1.2, rock solid, snappy and vanilla android if that's your thing.... tis mine as I run Gnex's as well. Love it!

ROM recommendations?

Just got my phone and already rooted and have the franco kernel installed. I've been reading up a little on how to permanently enable LTE and it seems like running baseband .33 on stock causes audio issues on the phone.
Basically I'm just looking for a stable, fast ROM with good battery life. I don't need anything fancy, but in the end I'd like to enable LTE permanently. Any recommendations?
You don't need a rom to enable LTE.
Flash this files to enable the in call audio and enables LTE by adding some build.prop tweaks.

Well you dont need a rom for permanent LTE if you already have a .33 radio you can just do a few tweaks and there. If you dont have a .33 radio you can flash one, im sure theres another thread on flashing a .33 radio and setting permanent LTE. But if you wanna try a good rom my favorite and everyday rom is Cyanogenmod 10.1.0 you can try the nightlies but for a more stable OS I recomend the newest release which is Rc4. And try the matrix 8.5 kernel adds an amazing battery life and better performance.

Well, if you still want a custom rom (given that you can enable LTE without one) then I've been using Slimbean on my Nexus 4, it's quite close to stock but has a lot of useful extra customisations available.

Nexus 7 3G 2012 doubt

Hello all,
I'm on the forum for a long time, now, in the beginning in the HTC Desire forum, then on the HTC Sensation and now here.
I just bought from a friend an used Nexus 7 3G (Tilapia) tablet, which I really like.
I realized too late that the 3G model has far less developmnent activity with regards the Wifi only model, probably due to its far less distribution.
Now, I rooted my tablet and installed CM11, but I'm not completely satisfied.
What I'd like to have is a Kernel with the possibility to overclock the tablet, but I can't find any for the Tilapia.
Moreover, the available ROMs are not too much, and all based on CM11.
So, my questions:
1. Is there a stable Kernel I can use with CM11 (Kitkat 4.4.2) with which I can overclock the tablet?
2. What would happen if I install a Kernel + ROM designed for the Grouper model on my Tilapia? Would it work (with the exception of 3G, of course)?
In other words, is the hardware the same on Grouper and Tilapia, so I can use the saem ROMs and/or Kernels?
Thank you in advance.
Ciao,
Giovanni

V1.4 is what your looking for. Unsure if it will work on the tilapia though, if you wanna try it make a backup prior. If you bootloop/hang at boot hold vol down and power that will get you back to bootloader where you can access recovery

Hello,
At the end I installed SlimKAT ROM, which is very slim (pune intended) and fast, together with the Faux Kernel.
I'm running the "Ultimate" version of the Kernel, running the processor to 1.7 Ghz (actually, 1.6Ghz): I cound't be happier!
Ciao,

How to identify the correct ROM or Kernel?

I just recently got a Nexus 7(2012) 3G: Asus Tablet. In CPU-Z it shows that it is called the "grouper"
What should I look for or how will I know which ROM to flash for my 3G version of Asus Nexus 7(2012)?
In the "Nexus 7 Android Development" section their are ROMs which mentions "grouper" but how will I know if it means the 3G version or the non-3G version?
I know that their is already a separate section called "Nexus 7 3G Android Development"
I am trying to understand if flashing the ROMs from the "Nexus 7 Android Development" instead of "Nexus 7 3G Android Development" will disable the 3G function or will it work like it does using the stock ROM?
Grouper is the wifi, non 3g version.

That is exactly what I was thinking. If grouper is the non-3g one and my Nexus can use a SIM card for 3G, shouldn't it be called "tilapia"?
Yes, sound's like someone flashed the wrong ROM, or they didn't have a sim anyway.
@pleomaxell I have the same Nexus as you. I haven't done much with mine other than root the device and force it to stay on 4.3. At one time I had L on it but it ran so miserably slow I backed it down. I'm wanting to resurrect mine and start using it for work. Development has mostly been for the Grouper model, even the one's that say Tilapia. Maybe we can exchange info.

I just flashed the [ROM] 6.0 Android MarshMallow Pure AOSP for Google Nexus 7 2012 WIFI+3G ROM and 3G is working properly without any problems. You can give it a try.
