[Q] are there any roms that support the GT-i9020a version?? - Nexus S General

hey everyone,
I am trying to get an old nexus s setup for a friend and am wondering if there are any custom or later versions of android i can install on it. i am mainly looking for a later version because the dialer screen on it is causing some usability issues. the Nexus S has a model number of GT-i9020a its a GSM version of the Nexus S

All that don't specify 4g...

No, I wouldn't mess with radios until you are really comfortable with the ins and outs of flashing..

Try using Agent Switch Pro for chrome on the latest Opera setting. That's how I'm doing it.

I tried it on my galaxy s3 using t-mobile hot spot and it kept redirecting my me to sign up for the hot spot plan. However, I did use a different WiFi router app and was able to tether. I am rooted btw.
Tether did not work with my S3, but does with my G2 and current S2's Did not get a chance to try a different rom on the S3 before sale tho so not sure about that.

Probably a stupid question on XDA, but are you rooted and running custom roms on your S2s? I'm interested if anyone has tried this on stock firmware with one of thee non-root tethering apps. I would test myself but I can't remember the last time I had a phone with stock firmware.

i only tried foxfi and it worked but it was on prepaid 4g sim
i rooted shortly after and will get the splash page wo agent switching as stated above
my ladys first s3 wouldnt tether til rooted using an old wifi tether app, her replacement s3 i havn't had a chance to root yet and most likely won't. tether much til i flash custom
only problem i have now is xbox live wont let me see my friends, partyies, etc
no matter the settings, i can still play and Netflix
anyone else have that issue?
i tried vpn, but it wouldn't connect and i am in over my head trying to learn on the fly at the moment
So your using your phone as a WiFi hotspot to power your Xbox for you can stream Netflix?how is that working out for you so far.and your using a Samsung 3. Thanks!!!

Yep I used both the s2 and s3 sucessfully.....
There is also another topic explaining another method of replacing ur apn in the general subforum of the tmobile s3
As for the s2 there is threads for apns and then for user agents
Live throws a code stating that some items may not be available but playing and netflix green light
Updates you have to dl on ur pc then transfer it to ur xbox by disc, etc storage medium
I have also changed my dns servers but I can still use tmobiles dns and do both
I use to have a full live experience until the last 360 update and now something borked....nebody have ideas? Lol
So I should have no problem using my sensation as a hotspot to power my roku box to stream Netflix to my t.v. right? Thanks!!!

[Q] Peel Working on Custom Rom

Hey guys I don't know if its been addressed somewhere else but I can't get peel to work on any custom rom I've installed besides the time when i rooted the tab and had the stock rom. Is there anyway to get the ir blaster to work on a custom rom or any custom jelly bean rom that actually has the ir blaster working?
well it has been covered, and is in the OP of just about EVERY custom ROM, IR BLASTER DOES NOT WORK ON CYANOGEN OR AOKP.
but all is not lost there are a select few custom ROMs based on the STOCK ROM that have working IR blaster, for the 7" model do a search for Romswell (4.0.4 ICS) or Tab2Lite (4.1.1 JB) and I believe there is another. Don't know what your choices are for the 10.1 model (if that is what you have, YOU DIDN'T SPECIFY).
I figured just thought I'd ask. another question you might be able to help me with adfree app doesn't work either says that the app is too old but I download it straight from the market do I don't know why....at the moment I'm using a host file I downloaded online and seems to be working fine but wanted to know why adfree doesn't work,I know there is other apps but I've always used adfree on my phones and I guess I stick to what I know.Lol

Yeah, I saw something about that the other day:
you have this version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DEsImNvbS5iaWd0aW5jYW4uYW5kcm9pZC5hZGZyZWUiXQ..
and you need this version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5iaWd0aW5jYW4uYWRmcmVlIl0.
they "remade" the app for some security reason or something.
Ah ok thanks I never noticed they had two apps lol

Carrer switch on videocalls. Have support videocalls on the customROM? On the stock ROM not support videocalls. On the stock ROM not this function in the Phone.apk and firmware. It may be support on the just customROM?

The dialer has to support it but most do not for this device. The main time you see it is with euro versions of devices but this one doest have a euro version

Does anyone actually use video call? My old Galaxy S supported video call, but the only time I have used it was when I accidentally "dream dialed" while still half asleep.

No this function in the custom ROM? This is impossible?
No roms have a built in video calling feature, google wants you to use hangouts for that.

Anyone..rebuttal?
I have that option as well. Doesn't work for me. I've only tried calling through a few different carriers, one AT&T (stock GS3) the other being Verizon (HTC DNA, custom ROM unknown which one). Both failed to call after what seemed like an attempt. I'm on Golden Eye 3.0 with KT kernel.

My best guess is it is the SAME as when I ran custom ROMs on previous Galaxy Series phones with ported from international series firmware. We would have the video call button but ATT doesn't allow video calling so it never worked. It is something that ATT blocks so it will never work. You can find threads in the Galaxy S2 I777 threads and Galaxy S1 Captivate threads on how to remove the video call icon from the .apk's and resize the layout so it doesn't have the icons out of shape/place. Unfortunately until ATT let's us call over data it will never work.

Unfortunately since it is NOT built into our phones firmware automatically (removed/changed thanks to ATT firmware) we could not use the same tactics the iPhone people used and have it cleared for use.
But there are other apps that we can use from the play store and have video over cellular signal. But the catch is you have to be rooted and use something like gTalk enabler or change a setting in the build.prop for it to work. You can try apps like Google Talk/Hangouts, Skype, Tango for video calling over the cell signal. I have used Google Talk and Tango.

FM radio for T-Mobile G2

I have seen references to a FM radio app but I don't think I have one. Was this for a different model or is it possible to download this application?

I don't see it either, I looked thru the whole list of apps that you can have pop up when plugging in headset and nada, luckily I would never use it but I'm positive they said it has one.
I saw on a review that the AT&T and Verizon versions wouldn't have it. I don't see it anywhere on my vzw g2.
international version has the app

No it does not... Even if it did it would not work as the G2 does NOT have a Fm radio built in, its grounded, Just like the G Pro.
Internation version (D802) has fm radio!
I have the international version D802. It has fm radio!

So I moved the apk and odex into /system/app, changed permissions to 644 and rebooted, but I don't see it in the app drawer.
Do you normally have to do anything else? I remember this working correctly last time I tried a system app.

I can't even get it to install by putting it in /system/app - not sure why it won't even show up in the launcher once its placed there.

I can verify that the FM radio feature works on the Sprint LG G2 LS980 variant. I used the NextRadio app on the Play Store and disabled my data connection (3G/4G) and my wifi connection. I then plugged in my headphones to act as the antenna and clicked on a radio station and was able to listen to the radio station.
Can someone else who has the Sprint variant verify that this works for them too?
Does the FM radio feature work on the Tmobile, Verizon and AT&T version? Can someone confirm this who has a Tmobile, Verizon and AT&T version of the LG G2.

Can you post a link to the "NextRadio" app. I search my app store but don't find one exactly named like that. - AT&T on ST LG G2
UPDATE The app is only available on Sprint devices from what I found on the desktop app. BUMMER. Any alternatives on non-Sprint devices?
