[Q]Browser downloads unsuccessful?

Well it seems like my browser on my phone is being a pain in the ass. Every time I download something it will download to 100% then all the sudden it says download unsuccessful. It does it every time no matter what site im downloading from.
I'm using cm7 rc1 and 1.2.4 bfs netarchy kernel. Has anyone else ever experienced this problem? Maybe I just need to do a fresh wipe.

[FIX] Lag fix for cm10 based roms (cm10, paranoid android, jellybro)

I originally posted this in the Galaxy nexus forums, but its not device specific as far as I know and works on both my nexus 7 and galaxy nexus so I'll post it here. Someone let me know if this works please.
Original Thread: [FIX] Lag fix for cm10 based roms (cm10, paranoid android, jellybro)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1875486
I have a fix for the lagginess in builds from the past week and a half or so. The culprit is the surface flinger library. It is the android compositing system and some changes recently made to it are responsible for the significant lag in recent builds. Most noticeable spot is if you hit the home button if you have the notification drawer down. It becomes extremely laggy without this patch. Scrolling is also less smooth whenever multiple things on the screen are being drawn. This fixes all those issues.
Just flash this in cwm or whatever recovery you choose. Should work on all cm10 builds and cm10 based roms like paranoid android.
Heres a version specifically for the s4 powered samsung galaxy s3.

seems interesting, if i didnt just go back to Sammy I'd try this out
Can someone try this and let me know how it goes?

Oh OK. Seems that siii may have some device specific fixes then. One more tester on paranoid would be appreciated though. Also can someone try it on cm10. I wonder if kexec or the locked boot loader makes a difference for people who haven't unlocked.

i believe the reason it worked on your GNex and Nexus 7 is because they are so similar.

Is this normal?

I am currently running Jellybean on my galaxy tab. I am using this rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1885878 Everytime I turn on my tablet I get a weird screen with lots of different colored lines. I have a picture and a video of it. Hopefully I can upload both, but if not you will be able to see what it is doing in the picture. Does anyone have any thoughts on to what may have caused this? And if so, maybe somethings to try and fix it? It just really bothers me and makes me wonder if I have a defective tablet..

It is normal. Once Samsung officially releases JB I would guess that you will not see that screen.
:fingers-crossed:
Okay. I was just making sure. I didnt see anything about it on the first page of that rom so I was curious.

That doesn't look normal. I recommend you flash back to stock Android 4.0 in Odin and down load all updates it needs. The offficial rom should be getting Jelly Bean soon, probably this month.
I also have 3113 but this no ....

I don't think that is normal. I have the GT-P3113 and have flashed mutliple ROM including CM10 and AOKP AOKP being my favorite). I have not run into that issue before. I would say, make sure you have the last Recovery, but I have not used the Rom you are flashing though, so it could be the ROM. I would say...try to flash another ROM like AOKP and see if still is an issue. If it is I am going to say it has something to do with the Tablet or something went wrong in rooting or flashing.

It is normal for the pre-released stock Samsung JB ROM or variants of this ROM (RomsWell). Sheez.
I think we should have another button besides "THANKS" like "I don't know what I am talking about, but I like to answer questions" LOL
Use triangle away app, flash stock, then see if defect still found return !!!

Optimizing...
All the apps work perfectly (on AOKP JB M1), but it keeps optimizing on every reboot. Given that I don't reboot 10 times a day, it's something I can deal with, but...
Has anyone had luck with photosphere? I tried it once, but it didn't turn out at all... just a blur.

Update on this: The optimizing thing only lasted a couple of times. Now the phone boots up straight like normal! However, Google Now hasn't worked from the start. It keeps saying "location service is off" when it's not. I've used Google Now all the time before on CM10 as well as stock JB. Something is broken here...
Any chance this package will be updated to official (not leaked)? The camera app has a few new improvements today.

Want to try new rom

Hello all, currently I'm running cm7 rom. I've been on this rom for a while now and want to try something new. My kernel is imsoyen(so?) 5.1.0aosp. Both my radios end in 906w I believe.
The rom I want to try is -NuSenseROM-ICS-Sense-3-6-XLoud-Beta-
It's been a while since I flashed a rom but I'm pretty sure I remember. But don't I need to switch radios for this to work? If so what order do I need to flash, rom then radio, right?
Sent using Tapatalk, stay thirsty my friends.
No you don't have to switch radios. It is suggested to use a certain radio but they are different for everyone so if the radios you are currently using work fine then keep using them.

We don't have ics kernel source so there aren't any custom kernels yet. Until we get an official ics release we won't have any custom ics kernels because HTC won't release source code without an official release.

If I'm not mistaking, I am pretty sure the install flashes a new kernel to it anyways.
Just make a backup to be safe.
Santod also has UnSense that's based off of NuSense... the difference, of course, is one is sense and one is mostly without sense.
Pick your poison and enjoy.

No imoseyon is a custom kernel made for gingerbread roms. Nusense is ice cream sandwich. There are no custom kernels for ics.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
Your kernels are included in the ROM and flashed automatically when you install the ROM. As of now there are no custom roms for ICS and IMO said long ago he wouldn't even try to make one as he has moved on to I think the gnex. I know twisted has been messing with a custom kernel for awhile on his aosp ROM.

I'm running UnSense and have been since his first release of it. It's excellent.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
I'm running InfectedROM Eternity 8.4.
I was running UnSense until the text kept scribbling up on me... but its a great ROM.
From what I understand, though, Santod is working on an update that may fix this issue and more. I just hate that he is going back to more sense things, but really, its for the better of this ROM. I hope he keeps the AOSP look going though. I highly recommend you to try UnSense if you're wanting to flash ICS.
Otherwise, if you want a good gingerbread ROM, I highly recommend InfectedROM Eternity 8.4.

Ok tried NuSenseROM again. It seems like it would be a nice rom. It's just too laggy and finicky for me. I got force closes a lot to. So now I'm back on cm7. Question though. My current radios are 906w (5th gb leak) what can I upgrade to that's compatible with cm7? Keep the ICS radios? I ask cuz I saw my 4g working on cm7 using the ICS leaked radios

Installing NuSenseROM without following the install guide will yield you force closes.
I'm guessing you neglected to format in ext3 as stated in the Op.
Not at all trying to get anyone to try it again.
It just bugs me whenever I see someone talking about any rom's issues, when it's likely something they did.
Enjoy your CM7 or whatever your preference is.
I'm not trying to change your mind, just letting you know that you most likely did not install it as instructed, or you would not be having force closes.
I'm pretty sure I followed those instructions to a t". Force closes didn't come from all my apps either. Mainly dolphin browser, amazon appstore.

Did you install those from the market or did you try to restore them from a backup? I ask because you may be trying to restore an app made for gb and it doesn't work correctly without a fresh install from the market.
