And your point is? You are just complaining that your gf is materialistic, isn't it?

Sammy's phone is easier to root that GNex. Bootloader already unlocked!

Replace default Google Maps with Brut Maps and get GPS navigation function.

Battery Mod obviously.

Previously, I used to install GTalk with video call on my SGS, right now it came by default with GNex's ROM.

Not just yet. Initially, you have to make sure you have the right USB driver installed.

Then you have to make sure your USB driver works for your fastboot, otherwise you can't unlock your bootloader.

The 1-click root was available long ago in Market since FroYo, called z4root. Which root your phone from an app itself. The 1-click root in GNex was made convenient with the GNex Toolkit, not the traditional ODIN method. Which of course, I'm fine with, either way. Depends on where the market direction is.

Weird. Reflash stock ROM over your current ROM.

You are right, you don't really need to root GNex to use it. It's fine by itself.

Just like how I am still on stock ROM until now.

Added on March 25, 2012, 12:59 amI find the installed version of Brut Maps is not stable. Might FC from time to time (at least it does on S2 + GB). So I'd rather stick with replacing the Maps in total. Besides, there are certain apps that Intent direct to Google Maps, hence your Brut Maps would not be used. I can't remember what at the moment, but there are such app, or links from websites. You just gotta try then you'll know why I prefer my method, despite the troubles.

Battery mod not for saving battery, but to show battery percentage on the notif bar without installing extra app. A must have for Android since all stock ROM doesn't have this.

Added on March 25, 2012, 1:01 amRooting/Custom ROM are always double edged sword. Always read carefully and find out what works and what not before flashing. That's all. Otherwise, stick with stock, don't kill you anyway.

How about flashing back to stock ROM for your mid range Android phone and pass it back to your gf? At least everything works.

Added on March 25, 2012, 1:02 amIt's surprising that Gmail is gone. Your phone was pre-rooted by someone else before reaching your hand?

Factory reset doesn't restore apps that have been removed from your /system/app folder.

Of course, thanks to the toolkit, I don't have to hunt for rooting kernel and such as well.

Are you going to go thermonuclear on Android due to this?

Get a Windows.

I wasn't joking, seriously.

I still find that ICS is not polished enough. My stock rooted phone just rebooted by itself today, afternoon. I just cleared the notif section. Then 1 minute after that, I saw the boot animation.

God knows what was wrong with it.

Good stuff!

Which 1 would give me H+ data connection?

This one, I assumed?
SC04DOMLA1

It's so sinful to flash radio via CWM.

Fall into non-3G zone now. Will go to Citta Mall to confirm on H+ signals.

That is not the reason not to use iFoong again.

Added on March 25, 2012, 11:28 amInitial impression on this radio. The phone runs really hot on 3G data. Battery drain is a lot faster too, compared to KK6.

Was getting H signal at Citta Mall while at the car park area. Doesn't show H+ though.

Will keep this baseband until I got the chance to fully test it, such as sitting inside Chili's, or SFCC. That will be the proof. (phone hot hot)

Couldn't agree more...

Try typing in Viber. It lags like shat... even slightly in WhatsApp.

The phone just wouldn't register the touch when I press it, as witnessed by enabling the touch-tracking in Developer Settings.

But I read somewhere that, having Battery Mod (to show %) would lags the phone. So I am not 100% sure if it was lag caused by the battery mod or just GNex getting laggier and laggier.

Added on March 25, 2012, 2:36 pmSorry, don't quite get what it's like based on your descriptions. Can record a video showing that?

This post has been edited by Harddisk: Mar 25 2012, 02:36 PM

Why is that? Too much data?

That's already been done la...

Got any better suggestion then?

Thanks to your suggestion, Docomo's baseband is a real deal. Getting H+ connection at Chili's Citta Mall, despite icon only shows H.

Overall, I think the signal bar is less on this radio. I just want it to tap into H+ when it's available.

Hehe, yeah, faster than my Unifi.
This is confirm H+ day, cause H usually around 4mbps like that. But icon still not showing H+.
