Let's not beat around the bush. The Galaxy Nexus is definitely the best Android phone available today -- it's possibly even the best phone available today, period. Sure, it's not perfect -- we're disappointed that the camera doesn't deliver the same wow factor as the rest of the handset. It's an alright shooter, but it's just no match for the state-of-the-art. There's also room for improvement in terms of build and materials quality. Still, there's no denying the satisfying look and feel, the stunning display, the impressive performance, the excellent battery life -- the whole is far greater than the sum of its parts.

The Galaxy Nexus is the best Android phone ever made. It's one of the best smartphones ever made, and with a couple of minor tweaks (particularly to the camera), it could be the best smartphone ever produced.
Still, there's really not much to knock here. The hardware is elegant and smartly designed. The software is beautiful and useful. Google has cleaned up a lot of the bad, and replaced it with a serious amount of good. It's faster, smarter, and a lot more friendly than any of its predecessors. Ice Cream Sandwich easily gives iOS and Windows Phone a run for their money, and in many ways, it's a superior operating system than either of them. If there's a bone to pick, perhaps it's with the size, which could be off-putting to some, or the fact that right now the only carrier you can definitely get the phone on in the US will be Verizon. But those are minor blips on the radar, not show stoppers.
Since day one, I've been waiting for an Android device that lived up to the promise of such a powerful OS. I think I can stop waiting now. Full review here.

The Galaxy Nexus is so important again because it's the only time Google gets to dictate everything - the hardware, the software, and update timing. There's also the element of freedom, with unlockable hardware out of the box. I find myself wishing that Google had begun its adventure sticking it to the carriers with pentaband WCDMA support like this phone finally has, as that would've been much more successful than the practice of releasing a few different Nexus variants with different bands.
As far as Ice Cream Sandwich is concerned, it really is Android perfected. Everything is smoother, faster and nearly all of our issues with the OS have been addressed. ICS brings Android into 2012 and gives Google a great platform to begin to introduce new features going forward. Android is now very close to UI performance parity with iOS, which eliminates a major tradeoff you had to make in the past. If you were hoping for ICS to be iOS with a Google logo on it, you'll be sorely disappointed. However if you're a fan of Android and just wished it were smoother and more polished, Ice Cream Sandwich is what you've been waiting for. Full review here.

Make no mistake, this is the best Android phone around today. It’s impossible to divorce Samsung’s hardware from the Ice Cream Sandwich experience, for the moment at least. That may change as more manufactures offer Android 4.0 phones, but for now it’s tough to think of going back to a Gingerbread or earlier device. ICS’ finessed software works beautifully with Samsung’s hardware and – with the exception of the camera, perhaps, which can be a minor blot on the Galaxy Nexus’ score sheet – the sum of the two parts is massively compelling.

QUOTE
While there were some hardware complaints, and even though Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich isn’t the most intuitive or user friendly operating system, it’s absolutely one of the most powerful. Android 4.0 is coupled with the best smartphone Samsung has ever produced and easily leapfrogs any other competitor’s device.
Unfortunately in the Android world, this hardly lasts a long time, and as we have started to see in various leaks, there’s going to be some serious competition for the best Android smartphone in the world over the next few months. For now, though, this marriage of hardware and software, under Google and Samsung’s direction, is an absolute winner. Full review here.
Android Central
QUOTE
Personally, I’ve already been taken in by the Galaxy Nexus’s charms, and have been thoroughly spoiled in the process. It’s the most impressive smartphone I’ve ever used, and after just a few days, older versions of Android already feel ... well, old. Many other phones will get a taste of Android 4.0 in early 2012, but make no mistake, the Galaxy Nexus is the device that ICS was meant to be used on. The sheer speed of the hardware and software, combined with the slickness and beauty of the new stock Android UI makes the device a joy to use. Full review here.
Mobile Syrup
QUOTE
The Galaxy Nexus is the best Android device ever because it’s the best all-round Android phone. Not only is the design almost flawless but the screen is sharp, the camera capable and the software a huge leap forward. Considering it will have a software lead of at least three to four months on any new device being released with ICS, for many people it is reason enough to upgrade. Ice Cream Sandwich is the biggest leap in smartphone operating systems since perhaps iOS 2 to iOS 3 (or maybe iOS 4 to iOS 5, we can’t decide) but it fundamentally alters the way Android users interact with their phones. Full review here.
Mashable
QUOTE
Beyond those gimmicks that don’t work as well in the real world as they do on television commercials, Ice Cream Sandwich’s main claim to fame is that it’s a more-polished version of Android — it’s easier to use and more aesthetically pleasing than any of its predecessors. Bravo, Google — I’m looking forward to further refinements of Android, and if this leap forward is any indication, the world’s most popular smartphone operating system has even brighter days ahead.
Couple that with this gorgeous and subtly curved handset, and you have yourself a winner. The Samsung Galaxy Nexus is by far the best Android phone I’ve seen yet. Full review here.

QUOTE
In a nutshell, the Galaxy Nexus is the best phone I've ever touched before. This is easy to say for a couple of reasons. Up until the Galaxy Nexus, my hands-down favorite phone was the Galaxy S II (specifically the Sprint and international versions) and the Galaxy Nexus is rather similar when it comes to in-hand feel and build quality. That said, the Galaxy Nexus goes above and beyond with a modern and sexy design that makes you feel like you're holding the future in your hand. Full review here.

Based on the above definitions you wouldn’t think that Samsung’s Galaxy Nexus (SGN) is actually a culmination of anything good, particularly in the way of an Android phone. Literally, the name alone would indicate that you would have a billion stars connected together. But you would be wrong. The Samsung Galaxy Nexus is the best smartphone on the market today - bar none. Full review here.

The Samsung Galaxy Nexus is the most exciting Android device I’ve had an opportunity to review. Not only does it feature an exceptional design by Samsung and an impressive list of specs, but it’s also the first device to utilize the newest version of Google’s mobile OS, Android 4.0.
It is, without a doubt, the best Android smartphone of the year.

If you're contemplating on buying AP set, jpaq has some advice for you to consider.
QUOTE(jpaq @ Mar 14 2012, 04:38 PM)
It's all a matter of luck, bro. Many people who have bought an AP unit has had no problems whatsoever. However, there are some who have experienced faulty units before as well. To be clear, I myself rather not buy an AP unit.
But do ask the seller about his one-to-one exchange policy. If he says if there is any problem within 7 days, and a one-to-one exchange is allowed within that period, then it is pretty fair for an AP unit. But then, ask him further, if the 2nd unit is also found to be faulty, then what would be his policy. Then consider what he tells you. If you find it acceptable, go ahead and buy it and have fun. Oh, and do get the name of the guy who attends to you, for future reference.
However, do be meticulous with your checking of the unit. When at the shop, check as many things on the phone as you can, at the bare minimum, check for any scratches, dents, cracks and chips. Check for any colour peeling or dis-colouration of every physical part of the phone that you can see, including the logos. Also check the battery cover for any breakage in the clips. Another phone shop seller once told me that he got in a unit from his supplier where one or more of the battery cover clip(s) was/were broken.
Do switch the phone on and inspect with your naked eye for any abnormality in the display. Also see whether the display responds ok with your touches. Then slip in your SIM card and make a few calls. Check for any abnormality in the sound coming out from the earpiece. I have had an earpiece problem before. Not common, but it happened to me. Then ask whomever you are calling whether you sound clear to them or not. Then ask that person to call you back to check again.
After all that, when you get home, do play the heck out of your phone. Go google for apps which let your check for any defects in the display, like dead pixels, etc. Plug in a set of earphones (your fav or the in-box ones) and test. Play some songs through the earphones as well as through the speaker. Listen for any crackling sounds or other abnormality. Make calls, send SMSes, emails, etc. Plug it into your computer to see whether everything is working as it should be. Use the phone fully and even stress the phone if you can (but I don't mean physically!!!).
If everything works out ok, great! If not, go back immediately to the seller. Be firm (but not rude) with the seller when conveying to him your problem(s). If he had promised a one-to-one exchange earlier and you are within the time given, insist on that. I have to add that many sellers would rather not have to do a one-to-one exchange if they can help it. It means that they would have one less phone to sell. But insist on it if he has given you his word. And if he tells you that there is currently no stock to exchange for you at the moment, insist that a new unit should be given to you no longer than in 2 weeks time. Otherwise, ask for your hard earned money back and get the phone from somewhere else.
Honestly, I have not dealt with this directd ever before. From the forums, some say he is ok but could be perceived as a little stuck up. Ignore all this when your are dealing with him. Just be professional and expect professionalism from him as well. Keep it strictly business.
All the best.

5MP S5K4E1G is the camera sensor that is used in the Galaxy Nexus
QUOTE
The S5K4E1G is a highly integrated QSXGA camera chip which includes CMOS image sensor (CIS) and CCP2- compliant image data interface. It is fabricated by SAMSUNG 90nm CMOS image sensor process developed for imaging application to realize high-efficiency and low-power photo sensor. The sensor consists of 2608 x 1960 effective pixels which meet with 1/4 inch optical format. The CIS has on-chip 12-bit ADC arrays to digitize the pixel output and also on-chip Correlated Double Sampling (CDS) to reduce Fixed Pattern Noise (FPN) drastically. The image data interface performs data formatting, image compression, Image scaling and serial transmission using Sub-LVDS. The host controller is able to access and control this device via CCI bus. The S5K4E1G is suitable for low power camera module with 2.8V/1.8V power supply.
QUOTE
I get the feeling I could repeat this a hundred times and people wouldn't listen, but here goes:
The number of megapixels on your camera phone does not matter.
Please, read that again. And again.
The limiting factor in your camera phone is the physical size of the sensor and the lens. You aren't going to resolve much good detail past 5 megapixels, AND you will start contributing heavily to noise by shrinking the photosites.
The new iPhone 4S camera is great, but it is not great because it is 8 megapixels. It is great because it's a high quality sensor and a nice lens. It is great in spite of it being 8 megapixels.
I have printed poster-size with a Nikon D2h. That was a 4 megapixels camera. Those were 4 very high quality megapixels with the right glass on the camera. Having more, lower quality pixels is not the right way to approach cameras. From binary vision at Android Forums
alternatively, if you seek to get better photo with the Galaxy Nexus, you could consider getting extended lens option from Photojojo

Insufficient storage space?
QUOTE
Try cloud storage: •Google Music for all your songs needs, you can upload up to 20,000 songs for free. •Plex for all your media files, including videos, photos, audios. •Dropbox for everything else. •Box is similar to Dropbox
Why does this phone not include a Micro SD slot?
QUOTE
There are many reasons floating around, but the reason I’ve seen by at least a few Googlers is that if an app utilizes an SD card’s storage in some way (say, storing a user’s data) and then the user removes the card, that app has to be programmed to handle the card’s disappearance. It’s easier for developers to code apps that keep everything in the internal storage (e.g. the app’s folder in /data/data) than have to handle the presence/absence of external media.
Without an SD card, how can I flash ROMs, back up my data between wipes, etc?
QUOTE
The internal media storage space (for example, the ~13GB left over in the UK model) IS subject to being wiped when user data is wiped (since it is mounted as /data/media). However, custom recoveries have been made for other devices that skip wiping this directory, so once CWM or another recovery for the GN comes out with that feature, you won't need to back-up your media folder before wiping.
What happened to USB mass storage?

Galaxy Nexus doesn't support USB mass storage, instead it supports MTP and PTP which will work without any issue in Windows. However, Mac users will have to use this application to transfer file.

Its a SGX540, the same one in the Nexus S, but significantly higher clocked, running at 384mhz.
QUOTE
Iit's only the GPU that isn't as fast (the CPU is as fast as anything on the market right now, and faster than the iPhone). This will be the third fastest GPU on the market, behind the PowerVR SGX543 of the iPhone, and the Mali-400 of the Samsung Galaxy S2. For most tasks, of course, there will be tons of horsepower available for things like hardware acceleration of the OS, basic processing tasks, etc. These are not generally a challenge to most GPUs. The real question is, how will it handle games or apps like Google Earth or other 3D-intensive apps?
Think about this: when game developers release a game for the PC, do they optimize it so that it will only run on the brand new, top-of-the-line, $600 graphics card? Of course not. They wouldn't sell many copies, would they? Expect the same here. The PowerVR SGX540 of the Nexus is a potent GPU, one of the fastest on the market. Not being the fastest shouldn't be a concern. From Android Forums
Also, if you didn't notice already, games that are actually fun don't rely on polygon counts to sell the game, ie. cut the rope, plant vs zombie, coin drop, etc etc. If the iPhone 4 with SGX535, a lower end GPU than Nexus S, can have great game titles, I don't see how the G Nexus can't.
Food for thought, if the G Nexus can already play 95% of the games in the market (the other 5% being Tegra3 exclusives ), what significance does it make that the GPU scored lower in benchmarks?

Corning has confirmed that the phone does NOT use Gorilla Glass via Corning's twitter account, contrary to what Samsung indicated at the launch party.

As for quality:
QUOTE
Only had a brief listen on mine using some Yuin PK2s that I have.
I've come from an Xperia Arc, and before that I did have a SGS2 for a while.
I've not had enough time to make a definitive view but at this stage, the Nexus sounds more open than the Arc (which had a warm veil to the sound imo) and seems to be able to drive the Yuin's much better than the SGS2 - my ears will give up before I reach max volume this time around.
To my ears, at this stage, it offers a pretty well balanced sound - plenty of detail resolved without sounding overly harsh on the tracks I have tried. The mids certainly sound better than the previous 2 phones mentioned from my recollection.
Not had a play with any equaliser settings yet as I prefer listening without tweaking these in any way if possible.
Reckon it has potential - and its certainly good enough for the amount of listening I do. From WhiteHartMart @ XDA Developers
QUOTE
I have compared the Nexus to the GS2.
1. Don't worry it blows the GS2 out the water. Highs are high, lows are low. Tested with .flac on same settings via power amp.
2. Its the best sound quality I have ever heard from .flac on a mobile phone. I never owned a Nexus1.
3. Speaker is very low. Not as loud as cm7 on GS2 but hey the quality is OK.
4. Gone are the days of the Bluetooth audio crackle via A2DP. It has very good quality via A2DP even compared to GS2 CM7.
If you are interested I tested the phones with some Astro A40's. Not the best for an audiophile but suitable for the test I guess. From NatTheCat @ XDA Developers
QUOTE
The headphone jack out of the Galaxy Nexus is good. Audio is clear, very little hiss using UE-11s.
I find the volume increments are too large but I listen at low volumes using low impedance IEMs. Others shouldn't find that to be a problem. From doubleperfect @ XDA Developers
USB Host Mode?

Yes, ICS supports USB Host Mode. The Galaxy Nexus definitely supports it with its hardware, too, because it was announced that it would support USB game controllers. How it will treat attached flash storage is not known yet but it is almost certain that the functionality will be there.

Install StickMount to enable USB stick mount / dismount. The app require root access.
Facebook?
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
Facebook won't sync with Nexus Devices because Google and Facebook had a little spat back when 2.3 was released. Whereby Facebook refused to use the standard contact sync API and instead used the one that Google had initially concocted from scratch for them. Then, when Google deprecated that API, Facebook didn’t feel like changing their code, so no more sync.
So 3rd party have developed and an app to enable Facebook sync, try HaxSync. Alternatively, you can flash ROMs that has Facebook sync built-in / fixed, if you have root access.

Multitasking?

QUOTE(mark @ Mar 14 2012, 08:52 PM)
There seems to be a lot of confusion regarding running apps, multitasking, background tasks and such.
When you launch an Android app, the task is active/running. You use the app, play with the app, etc.
When you exit back to the home screen (or go to a different app), the app is stopped. This means that the app is frozen and will not run/take up battery/etc. It also means the Android OS can freely kill that task if the Android OS needs more memory for other things (i.e. you opened up a really heavy game, you haven't gone back to that app in a while, etc).
So how does multitasking work? How does your app check for email in the background? This is done by something called services. Services run in the background, you don't really see it anywhere on your screen. Even when you quit your app, it still has a service running in the background. It checks your mail even if you're not in the app, it checks for new messages when you're not in the app. If you're busy downloading something using your browser, and you go to a different app, your download still continues, because the browser is running it's own download service in the background.
An example to this would be WhatsApp. If you don't open the app, how does it check for new messages for you? It runs the WhatsApp background service to check for messages for you. You don't have to open the app to keep checking for new messages, it already runs by itself in the background. The Android OS takes care of what services to run, kill, etc automatically for you. That's why if you use a manual task killer (you shouldn't, btw), after a few minutes you'll notice the WhatsApp service running again.
This, of course, does not apply to ALL apps. It depends on whether the app developer has made such a feature available or not. Let's take Draw Something as another example. It doesn't have a background service, therefore it doesn't notify you if you have new drawings to guess.
tl;dr, to answer your question, you don't have to open viber/yahoo/gmail/gtalk to get notifications. The notification part of these apps are running in the background and are checking for new messages for you.
Also, regarding the ICS tasks button, all the tasks listed there are "frozen" apps... the apps themselves aren't running and aren't taking any CPU resources.

Face Unlock is not the default lock (for obvious reason), to set it up go to Settings - Security - Screen Lock - Face Unlock. You can also choose other type of locks from here. Make sure to improve Face Unlock by using the "Improve face matching" option (Settings -> Security ->) after setting it up.
Face Unlock can be fooled by a picture!
QUOTE
The primary goal of Face Unlock is to provide a measure of security if you accidentally leave your phone on, say, a bus or train. Most likely whoever picks it up won't know what you look like (and so wouldn't be able to get in with your picture), allowing you time to either find it again or remotely wipe it.

Don't worry, it is perfectly normal if you feel that your phone is heating up around the camera area, especially when you are using your phone, even if its just minor activities. (you don't know what's going on in the background).
After all, its a 1.2Ghz dual core CPU running underneath, the heat has to dissipates somehow. Just make sure that its not something crazy like above 55C, anything below 50 should be fine. It is advisable to avoid using the phone when charging.
You can install battery monitoring app to monitor the temperature if you are worried about it.

“All the design projects I’m working on take cues from nature,” says TaeJoong Kim. “Nature is authentic and infinite.” “Before, we tried to take inspiration from polished sports cars and other graceful designs,” adds GiYoung Lee, “but then we realized that nature was the source of all inspiration.”

Rubin is explaining what makes a “Nexus” phone, as opposed to any old Android phone. Basically, Google gets deeply involved in the design, working with the hardware maker and the chipmakers. Rubin notes there are over a million lines of code in Android.
“So much work goes into producing the UI and the changes that you make, and then typically what happens is that the OEM’s put their skins on it and put their own touch. Does it bother you that so much work goes into it and in the end, a lot of consumers don’t interact with the UI as you intended it?”
Well, it would bother me more if we didn’t have programs like the Nexus program. The idea behind the Nexus device is to do exactly that – to give consumers an option to use the baseline work that we do if they choose…the philosophy of Android, the idea that partners can customize Android if they want to, is really important to making Android successful. By Matias Duarte, User Experience Designer of Android
QUOTE
There are Android phones (Nexus). And there are Sense phones (HTC). And there are Philblur Motorola phones. And there are TouchWiz phones. And so on and so forth.
With the Nexus line, Google has its flagships, its models of how its operating system should work. The broader world of Android is more like MS-DOS—the original "weak OS." Every version of the software is retailored and rebranded by its manufacturer. Even some software has to be rewritten to conform to different machines and their varied specs. But what you get is accelerated development of hardware and broad interoperability between machines, which benefits both users and developers.
Why does this distinction matter?
If you're an Android user, you may simply have to accept that you didn't buy an Android device running Google software; you bought a device from Samsung, Motorola or Amazon running Samsung, Motorola or Amazon software. Unless you have a Nexus, Google's more or less invisible on your device. Finally, you're never going to be able to just pull a brand-new software update out of the cloud and stick it on your machine. Not unless you're up for a little hacking. From Arstechnica
QUOTE
There is on one specific reason why I want the Galaxy Nexus so bad. It's everything brought together in a single device, all of the gripes and disappointment in other, non-Nexus handsets that I've had over the past two years and the thought of using Android specifically how Google envisions it. Not everyone will agree, not will everyone understand. But we all have our reasons for the preferences we have, and a run-of-the-mill Android phone just doesn't cut it for me anymore. From PhoneDog
QUOTE
But that is the philosophy of Android, a philosophy that had eluded me until now. To Google, Android is an operating system. To companies like HTC, Samsung, and Motorola, Android is the building-blocks with which they will build their own unique devices.
Google makes Android phones. Apple makes iOS phones. HTC makes Sense phones. Samsung makes TouchWiz phones. Motorola makes MotoBlur phones.
For those of you who don't know, Nexus is essentially Google's iPhone. They have full control over the hardware and software, come out with a new Nexus every year or so, and update all recent-ish Nexus phones with the latest version of Android as soon as possible. By LifeHacker

Root
What is?
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
QUOTE
In this post, I’ll be talking about the rooting process of an Android device as far as my best knowledge allows me to. Regarding ‘root’ itself, please consult the many definitions around the internet. In short, it is a special permission granted to a user to perform low level operations on a system (like backing up your Angry Birds game data, or changing the boot animation). 'Rooting' is the process of obtaining the means to grant this permission.
Think of it like the Matrix: Jailbreaking is comparable to what Morpheus could do. He could bend the rules of the system to overcome certain restrictions, but was still bound to its rules. Rooting is what Neo could do. Not only could he bend the rules, he could completely break them.

What it is, is a full backup of partitions on your device's NAND flash (NAND stands for NOT AND, a type of electronic logic gate -- it's like the hard drive of your Android device) storage. Think of it as a snapshot of the current running system, and it can be used to restore that that point at any time. Both user data and system files are backed up, and it's a far cry from what we think of when talking about a traditional backup from other software.

those who dislike the micro lag when opening app drawer, this is the mod for you. After reading that thread, main cause for this seems to be that the home screen is killed to make space for other apps in memory, so there will be times where the home screen requires redraw. What this mod does is make the home screen the top priority in the memory process, so it doesn't get killed easily or not at all.

If you are having problem in applying wet SP, which is a must if you're looking for something that covers full front of the phone, here are some tips written by droid13579
Before you begin, cut your fingernails and wash your hands. This is to prevent nail damage to the skin and minimum the risk of bringing lint, dust and dirt.
Location to skin application: There are few locations are suitable for application: Steamy Bathroom (is a PLUS since steam is capable to trap dust) Bathroom Kitchen Bedroom Study Room/Guest Room
As long you switch off any air ventilation like fan, air conditioner. Lock your door and windows, your fine to proceed. Clean your area, to minimum the risk of bringing lint and dust.
After cleaning your area, prepare your own solution (if they don't provide you) try look for a shallow dish plate or spray bottle. Put 2 or 3 drops of mild soap and mix it with water, and you now have your own solution.
For mild soap, I suggest using baby shampoo like Johnson baby shampoo or any dish wash liquid.
Once your have your own solution, prepare your own version of squegee card if they don't provide you. Any credit card would be fine but make sure they have straight edges to prevent damage your skin during squegee.
Now you have those two main stuffs, time to bring out your paper towel or microfibre cloth. Personally, I prefer paper towel because it is easily available than microfibre cloth, or anti fog cloth is good to go.
Once you have those stuffs, bring out your skin and read their instructions. Some might give tips for application process.
Time for application, first wash your hands once again and clean them with your paper towel.
Before application, clean your device with your microfibre, anti-fog or paper towel to remove smudges and dust on your screen. TURN OFF YOUR DEVICE, REMOVE YOUR BATTERY, ENGAGE THE ON SWITCH!
For Spray Bottle method: Spray your non-adhesive skin for two pumps, then wet your fingers with your spray. Peel your Skin, immediately and give like 3 ~ 4 pumps on adhesive side.
Now place on your device screen, and align it with your fingers. Your skin should move freely for this time. After you have set your alignment, leave your device like 1~2 minutes.
After 1~2 minutes, prepare your credit card or squegee card. Start push your access liquid and air bubbles from middle to the left or middle to the right while try not to move your skin, DO NOT squegee the skin to hard or it will leave marks, or causing miss align.
Keep squeegee for like 5~8 minutes to remove all bubbles and use your paper towel/microfibre cloth to trap any water/liquid to prevent get into the device. After that, clean and damp the screen with paper towel/micro fibre cloth.
Now your skin should be like clean and zero bubbles, if they do have don't peel or being paranoiac. Look for a windy place and place your device there for 12/24 hours. Those streaks, micro-bubbles will dissipated during these period.
AND NOW YOUR SKIN SHOULD BE LOOK CLEAN AND BRAND NEW!
Shallow Plate "Dip" Method for Wet Screen Protector Application
When I said Shallow Plate to Dip your solution is not to immerse your skin to your solution. This might be tricky but if you do it properly it also gives a good look when it is done.
First, Prepare a shallow dish plate fill with water and add 2~3 drops of baby shampoo/ dish wash liquid mix with your finger and you have your own version of solution. Not to forget prepare your anti fog cloth/ micro fibre, paper towel and squeegee card/credit card.
**You may use warm water as an alternative.**
Now, wash your hands and clean your device to remove all those dirt, dust, lint and grease. Not to forget remove the battery, turn off the device.
Begin to dip the non adhesive side, a shallow dip is enough not immerse the skin. If it is too wet, shake vigorously to remove big water particles. Wet your fingertips by dip into your solution and peel it. Give shallow dip for non adhesive side and shake it.
**If you think shake vigorously still look wet for both sides, try wipe on one direction like butter on toast to remove excess water, liquid.**
Immediately, place your skin to your device and leave it for 1~2 minutes. Now your skin should move freely, and try align it in this time. Remember align it with your fingers gently by recognize it front facing cameras, proximal sensors and ambient sensors and front speakers.
After 1~2 minutes, start squeegee with your credit card from middle to left/right then up to down. Don't squeegee too hard or else you will damage the skin. Do this for 5~8 minutes.
**While Squeegee, try damp the excess solution and not to push the solution to cut outs**
After 5~8 minutes, wipe/damp the excess solution with paper towel/mircofibre/anti fog cloth. Your skin should look free bubbles. If you do saw a streaks, micro-bubbles. Don't be paranoiac and peel it, find a windy place at let it dry for 12/24 hours.
NOW YOUR SKIN SHOULD LOOK CLEAR LIKE IT WAS NO SCREEN PROTECTOR, TIME TO FOOL YOUR FRIENDS AND SAID I HAVE GONE NAKED WITH MY SCREEN

Not planning to flash custom rom though. So can any gnex users that had updated to 4.2.2 and running on stock rom please give some feedback?

Nexus 4 or wait for Google X. I'm on 4.2.2 custom rom. Fluid. Can't say much for stock.

But my uni here Digi line sucks, only 2g, really no point to get data plan from Digi. Even if Zero contract, still got the Smart Plan 68. Cheapest Smart Plan for Nexus 4 is smart plan 68.

Ya, my gf did that. But total damage done is still quite high. RM1499 - RM200 + RM168 = RM1467. Still over my budget. Why is a Gnex user asking me to buy Nexus 4? Gnex really dat bad? Never get my hand on a Gnex b4, but had been playing around with NExus 4

Nex4 is newer and better in spec and price don really diff too much.....
Plus is that Gnex is hard to find now

That's coz I found a seller, selling Gnex at just 800. It fulfill my requirements for having a dual core processor and 1gb RAM. Not so sure about future-proof though. That's why asking Gnex's users here about the 4.2.2 update and custom rom performance.

if u are not into heavy gaming.....no problem at all
Gnex should survive at least another major Android version upgrade official from Google (Assuming that official support for 2 years based on Nexus S)

Did you survey the price of a New GNex? Even AP set is 1.2k++ Unless you're getting 2nd hand unit at around 700. Else you should get Nexus 4.

Now you should buy Nexus 4. Then it'll be a... couple phone?

Why not nex4 on bulk order section? Bought a 8 gig nex4 for rm1.2k include shipping direct to my house...gnex ap set also rm1.2k and ori already takde
Now that's different story. Wondering how should I use my RM200 rebate
Seems like only worth it if you get phone from DiGi and new phones(because those qualified shops say they follow RRP , so you may find that without using rebate the phone is already cheap eg: HTC Butterfly RM2099 from SatuGadget, when ask to use RM200 rebate it's RRP: RM2299-200=RM2099 )

Nexus 4 8GB only has about 5GB+ usable storage iinm, just so you know
Yeah have it now alongside with a Gnex, so far only 4 gig used up with the essentials especially , not a big fan of games cuz as a PC gamer ..mobile games are just "meh"
just curious, about updating from 4.2.1 to 4.2.2..
I got this notification on my notification bar on my phone that this update was downloaded and ready to install.
So I let it to install, it rebooted to install but then when installing got error. Can't do anything after that except doing a battery pull to reboot the phone and booted up properly with 4.2.1.
Happened b4 this too, did the same thing, after about a week I got this update notification again.
I don't mind not able to update(although I'd prefer to do so if possible) but i can't get rid of this update notifcation every week
extra info, my device is AP set(in case this info matters)

GNex has been lagging (almost like shit) since 4.2 has been introduced to this phone. If you want smoothness and fast, stick with 4.1.2.
Make backup before start flashing any rom. But if you flash stock factory image from other build to new build, you will lost all your data(music, photo, apps, downloads file, everything inside storage).

more update more lag.. haishh.. better use ics more buttery then jb..
I run stock ROMs on my nexus 7. Updated to stock 4.2.2 rooted. Smooth as silk. I haven't tried stock ROM on my gnex though but I do notice 1 thing, stock kernel on gnex gimme the be smoothest performance, no matter what ROM I'm on.

U loco? (Mad) 4.1.2 n 4.2 is faster than ICS. U obviously never tweak or device. 4.2.2 I nothing to saylar Running dominating with warmachine. Whole day office life with some usage till now will left 56% too. Performance beat my bro jail broken ip4s in subwaysurf n t run 2 in loading and playing.

Maybe. Sigh! I didnt have an enough time to tweaking my phone as you. Just sometime try flash new build custom rom and never tweak or modi my gnex to get best performance as you all here. Maybe im wrong with i said before. Sorry.
Hello, may i know where to get your custom rom + kernel?
P/M: how to flash it from 4.1.2 by maintaining my gallery because i flashed to 4.2.1 last time and I lost my gallery photo and all those.
You got into the /0/0/0 bug. That's why you lose your pictures.

My subwaysurfer not fully fluid. Suka suka lag Also domination. Maybe I should clean up my apps. Too many unused apps

Speedhack? How?
Domination ROM includes few settings on speed hack for HSUPA or something. Never bother at it because my digi hack anyway pun so slow one.
But it may not work with some ROMs, something changed in 4.2.2 causing boot loop if the ROM is not compatible .
Good luck !!
thanks

gpu don't go 512, too hot. and not 317 too low.. 35x something 1 is good. then hardware accerlation all games and some apps, not system. reserve apps, and some right on time tweaks..
problem is if play with case then will thermal throttle. my case behind shiny cuz heat, now play take case off

find zip to flash, manual tweak in system or inbuilt rom.
aokp used to have. domination has them. some has effect some none, my guess is find the credits to the developer then use their mod if it works.
I wonder how it works? Boost the signal strength on the radio? If I apply speedhack onto my N4, I might get close to 42mbps speed? Provided if it works.
Afraid the phone might melt.
it boost the power and frequency at the expense of stability and loss connection. (rarely happen)
im using Xylon now, but im using the unofficial feb 24 build, phone reboot itself yesterday once
gonna dirty flash to build official v2.1.1 feb 25 and see
Okay. Im using AOKP build 4 now and its quite stable. Untill now still no FC or force reboot itself. But only one, my pgm doesnt start automatic when each boot as i set it set on boot. Need to enable it manually.
yes! definately, drains more power than off it boost the power and frequency at the expense of stability and loss connection. (rarely happen)
Mine without optimisation drains even more.
Btw, my phone now tends to disconnect from wifi. Like... when I let it sleep, and wake it up, can notice that the wifi icon reappear in grey then only blue.
But I've set it to always on Happens after using 4.2++ ROMs.
Btw... Domination seriously no update yet? If not for the navbar ring thingy + PA settings, I won't really stay on this ROM.

Minor statusupdate 25. Feb
Not much im afraid, just weeding out minor issues, refinements on Pie, the usual. This is what has accumulated over the last 2 days:
New bionic patches, linaro's optimized ASM functions The maximize widgest option would not allow widgets to hop into the minized view in extended desktop - fixed Androids headphone volume fallout is fixed Pie has a new option that makes it stick the the exact physical side you've set it on, it won't rotate which might be useful for a lot of games and typing of course Pie segment gaps are even and do not spread out, the ampty-angle is gone and pie displays as a half circle, touchhandling has been impproved for faster and more precise flicking, the animations as well, the layout has been compressed to make way for notifications, new defaults and size presets (Mako) wireless charging sound is back
I can't say when nightlies roll out, it's getting harder. Jesus is currently busy with studying, but im sure if he finds a minute he'll build. Bidyut can't build for s3 right now because his computer blew up. I don't know the state of toro and toroplus at all. Mako and Grouper will be out for sure. Saturdays source compilation guide might take a little weight off our shoulders though, if you can build and want to help out building for your XDA community, we appreciate it!
Colour notification bar alpha max, and set black. nav bar set background colour black and alpha max
Actually it is only transparent in home screen (showing wallpaper). When at app drawer/settings etc its black. Still venturing ways to fix this. Kinda eye sore...

not sure on other room, PA just manage this well. what I set on home screen status bar and navbar, applied the same color when access app drawer.
Well all I can say is that if I did not set either Launcher/Nova Launcher as y default homescreen, the navbar and notification bar will turn to black. If I changed it to "always" the navbar and notification bar will turn transparent.

Tried it. Now same like spring fall. Only thing is the WiFi colour and signal colour not matching with the background. Still I prefer black Navy/notification bar. Any idea?

All i did was go to settings --> ROM control --> General UI --> Transparency Settings--> Set all the homescreen alpha to 100% --> Save
many members here jump to n4. want to sell my gnexus and switch to n4. really attracted when watching some video review at youtube. hahaha
gnex stay strong, no change for me now. if jump, will also still keep it. N4 not really big changes for me. X-Phone is coming, hopefully Google also come out with amazing next nexus phone too at this year end.
hello all sifus. i just bought my gnex few days back and already updated to 4.2.2 and I found that I cant unlock my phone just yet because gnex toolkit isnt updated yet. Is it true?

Update your adb fastboot file in toolkit folder. Download from toolkit thread on xda. All 4 file and it will work with 4.2.2.just select 4.2.1 and start what u want to do.
Hey, I'm on 4.1.2 with Touch Clockwork Recovery version 6.0.1.9. My issue is why I can't see all the zip files that I put into my SD card? Which mean I'm unable to update to v6.0.2.3. Any idea guys?
I'm wondering how much I'm able to SAFELY undervolt, I'm on stock rom with leankernel 6.0 and using hotplugx.
I think this is the pre-set settings from leankernel
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
I tried to lower each of them step by step, eg -10 each attempt. But how do I know I reached the limit of safe undervolting?
Erm... On lean kernel, I can go -50 safely.
You know you reach the limit by stressing it. If it reboots on its own when being stressed (benchmark or something...) that means that voltage is too low. Try to lift it back then perform the same stress test see if it reboots. If it doesn't, then it should be fine for you to use

Hey... You can mount usb otg on Domination? Mine not working after changing to domination. Also for quite a long time never use OTG because I'm back to study in campus. In company time use it almost everyday.

Thanks sifus!!! Already unloacked and rooted my phone!
let's say I experience Sleep of Death from undervolting. I just need to increase the voltage at 350Mhz 1 step right? other frequency can leave it right?
Same here, I thought it is my sucky Streamyx 1mbps (but tested only has 300+- kbps )
time for se7en take money out to upgrade or get professional to solve this issue, hehe.... also using 1mbps here while patiently waiting for TIME fibre coming soon....
Hi, I am new owner of Nexus =D Really love this phone very much due to the smoothness of the rom, probably the best android phone I ever use. Just bought this last month, barely have chance to use. = =" I have been warranty this phone for 3 times in a month due to screen issue (image retain(1st), yellow tint problem(2nd), color balance(3rd)).
Sifu-sifu here can you guys share your experience how to increase the max volume of this device? I find out the max volume on stock rom 4.1.1 yakjuxw is very soft, sometime is unhearable when I am far away from phone. I don't want to flash custom rom, any solution to fix the low volume problem with apps?? I have tried few apps like Volume+ but it have bug on jelly bean. It only boost the sound when u play music but not your ringtones/notification sound. Any idea how to solve this problem?

No choice. Custom rom to solve your problem.
Gnex is easy to flash custom rom. Use Galaxy Nexus ToolKit. Read the instruction and u good to go.

1. Notifications in our Pie panels can finally be expanded, they react like you'd expect. It was an obvious flaw, but as we have said before, these panels are actually written from scratch. Pie is a self-contained UI and part of the android statusbarmanager (SystemUI), all features had to be re-implemented piece by piece. whats still missing is a /// button but thats peanuts.
2. Hybrid properties can finally be stored on the SD card. A lot is coming in that regard but since so many of us are currently very busy we better keep still.
Minor tweaks, New bionic updates, Dashclock hides lockscreen clock (kang from kufikugel)
Maguro (gsm galaxy nexus), todays build does not require you to flash a custom kernel
IMPORTANT Your old property backups will not be recognized anymore. But they are safe, just copy them from /data/user/0/com.paranoid.preferences/files/backup -> /sdcard/Android/com.paranoid.preferences/files/backup
yeah, specially like mine, backup time take very long....
What's new in 2.4.2.0:
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
01. Add screen timeout - screen will turn off automatically after 60 seconds, saves battery and prevents screen burn-in especially on AMOLED devices 02. Add a brightness setting (requires device specific setup and only some devices have been added) 03. Add a root checker and offer to install SuperSU if the device isn't already rooted 04. Add a write buffer to libtar backups, significant improvements to speeds when backing up to exFAT target, minor improvements for other file systems 05. Check and offer to fix root permissions if broken 06. Add an option for a 24 hour clock display instead of AM/PM (aka military time) 07. Move stock recovery reflash check to occur during the reboot cycle 08. Add support for some MTK6xxx devices 09. Change libtar to vfork to help prevent memory problems 10. Add a "clicked" effect to most buttons, file selector, and listbox 11. Improve timezone listbox to be more like file selector (per pixel kinetic scrolling, etc) 12. Remove some no longer used settings (Forced MD5 sum on zips, size checking on image backups) 13. Other minor bugfixes and improvements
Time out as in the screen turn off after the set amount of time which in this case 60 seconds... its not new to a phone but this feature is new for recovery which is really very useful. Old recovery will stay ON all the time as long as you are in recovery which is bad when u are doing big nandroid backups

So we can set a screen time out to max time? This is a great feature for custom recovery.
A great feature for super amoled phone. It will time out no matter what you're doing. I tried backup, it'll auto screen off. Flash ROM+Gapps also will auto screen off. Quite useful!

I see. It will save more battery power when use custom recovery. So screen will wake up automatically when we finished do something in recovery or should manually wake up a phone?
This feature only available for samoled phone?

Actually it wasn't meant to save battery and it's available for all phone. We mentioned super amoled because super amoled screen has burn in problems. Making backup in twrp always put out phone in the same screen displaying same image for a prolong period of time. Having this feature will keep the screen off instead of displaying the same thing for a long period of time. Google "Super Amoled Burn In" then you'll know why we need this feature.

when the screen is off, of course you save battery as well
unless u want to use Digi data plan then it will be ok...
if not, totally not worth
Yeah don't think it's worth it.. On TuneTalk I barely spend RM15 a month... use pay-per-use data only.. and call and sms.. 1GB RM38/month 3GB RM58/month. Speed also amazing

I using DiGi RM18/month, since my home got wifi, just use it to load forum and whatapps.
Btw, my experience on Orca Project+Lean Kernel 6.8.1 not so bad. Flashed lean kernel ytd night. From full charge to 10%, 3hours 10mins screen on. Recharged to 84% now at 13%, 2hours screen on. Either data or wifi is on depends on where am I.
Only face small problem like... I can't set max frequency to 700MHz. It'll revert once I turn off and on the display (sleep and wake it up, not power off). No problem with 920 and other frequencies. Weird?
hmm, but if u dun call many pple cuz wassap and got wifi, tunetalk is cheaper
How is it cheaper? UMI18 just RM18 per month then got free mins and sms. Even after the given sms, it's charged 0.08/sms to other telco. I think this is quite good already considering that I won't get charged for exceeding 250MB

hmm.. 0.05 sen per sms, 0.05 sen for 1mb data, 0.10 sen per min. from 1st sim card arrived, 2$ preloaded. load it 50$ and 1st reload bonus waived, so now got 102 credit, and won some reload contest got 10$.. now 112, very light usage, my credit will expire in june, without the need to top up. and by june i top up 5$ then i get to enjoy several months of usage be4 expire again..
-therefore for people like me rarely call and always overseas, tunetalk is cheaper~~
just imagine me keeping my number for 1 yr, nid pay 18$ (umobile) per month or reload 30$ per month (digi)

UMI18 is prepaid la And the validity is 3 times the amount you reload. Means you reload 100 then you get 300 days or 10 months.
Tunetalk is 16 cents/min. Almost similar to 18 cents/min of Umobile but umobile is giving 25mins/25sms/250MB for RM18
Oh... And btw... Tunetalk charging block is 60 seconds. Even if you call for < 30s, you get charged 16cents. Umobile charging block is 9cents/30seconds.
Ohhhh... And btw... Umobile data rate is also 5cents/MB. Same same laaaaa

3 times reload?? i read their website validity 1 month (30days) http://www.u.com.my/prepaid/unlimited-mobile-internet-plan and doesnt not state rollover credit with total credit=total validity i know tunetalk relode 50=70days but with 1st reload 50 credit back so means 100$ total= 140 days validity.. =4.6months. then when reach, topup 5$ =105$=147days... and it keeps going.

Means when you reload, the money goes into your prepaid account. Then if you need that UMI plan, only you subscribe it like an Add-On. Then it only deduct from the money you reloaded into your account.
Say now you reload 100. You get 300 days validity for your credit. Then you subscribe to the UMI plan, it deduct RM18. This plan will renew itself after 30 days. Means it's the 'Add-On Plan' that valid for 30 days. Not your credit. If you get what I mean?

Just change the microUSB module. It's a separate module from the motherboard. Shouldn't cost a bomb.
QUOTE(Rudd @ Mar 2 2013, 07:54 PM)
wow. 700 was a really nice price
anybody here want to let go their gnex, please tell me. checked. i will consider. if postage need to top up how much?
Second hand should be around that price I think. Depends on condition and whether it's AP or SME set and warranty period.
See which place to post out. Maybe around rm10 only.
I tried pos laju from Sarawak to KL RM10.6 or something. Declared as phone but the staff didn't consider it as sensitive goods. Insured for... Rm1199 or something based on the receipt.

Rm1199 for what? How long u take to receive your item from Sarawak to KL?
For within Malaysia, Pos Laju got either same day delivery or next day delivery only. Of course it depends on the time you send in the parcel. Mine sent in before what what what time (not very sure also not sure if it's branch dependent because Sarawak one need to fly over South China Sea to reach KL, depends on flight also). Then the same day, it took the plane and landed in KLIA on the same day. I guess at night. Then transit overnight from shah alam or subang (forgot d, there's a central thingy) then next day out for delivery from nearby poslaju branch. Received the next day around 5 (or 6... I remember that guy is late, their official delivery time until 4.30 only. I keep call them to push them )
Anyway, if you didn't send in your parcel after their 'deadline' (dead'time'??) then it should arrive the next day. Even from Sarawak to KL. Not sure about Sarawak to places like perlis/terengganu because that means more transit. My hometown at sarawak got direct flight to KL so it's just Local post office->Airport->KL Airport->Nearest pos laju->My house. Other places in peninsular don't know how they transfer those items.

Its still depend which zone you live. If not wrong, zone A will receive any delivery in same day and zone B take 2 working days. Of course from sarawak to kl take 2 days to received a delivery because need to send by airflight.

been using lean, now wanna test franco, but any way to compare battery life of both kernel more fairly? Cuz one day's usage might differ from another day's usage..

lean kernel has always give me best battery life compare to other custom kernel i tried
just switched to franco from lean, what's dyninteractive? I read this is similar to interactive in 99% but instead this new governor dynamically adapts its own tunables and settings depending on the system load.. don't quite understand what it means tho... was on interactiveX when was on lean..
Hi... I'm selling my second hand galaxy nexus battery (ori from AP set) together with its white back cover and a SGP case (not genuine i think). If anyone interested just PM me ok? My gnex got snatched last time with its extended battery on and I got myself a nexus 4 after that.

I will just skip N4. Not a worthy upgrade especially after seeing those new chipsets showing up.
Just to name a few...
Snapdragon 600 (Already being used in 4 devices, S4 rumoured to use this too)
then... Snapdragon 800 Tegra 4 Exynos 5 Octa
I'm definitely looking into next generation. Will just skip this. Not much of an upgrade (and downgrade in certain aspects) except RAW Processing Power in my opinion. Hope the next generation will have a better camera, an even better chipset and some really interesting features.

Yup, i don't need a power machine right now and it does serve me well for the moment.
Next gen what i wish to get is larger capacity of battery like razr maxxx. Heavy user.
Services? This is where Real Racing 3 may lose some players. If your car gets bashed up during a race, you'll have to pay (virtual) cash to an in-game mechanic to fix it, and then wait a fixed amount of time for the car to be repaired.
Even if you're a careful driver, your cars will suffer wear and tear, requiring periodic servicing of their oil, engine, brakes, suspension and tyres. But here too, you'll have to wait: 15 minutes to sort out the oil, for example, but a whopping three hours for an engine refresh. Gold coins make the process instant.

For bigger file size items such as pictures, NFC will initialize the connection and then use Bluetooth to transfer the file
like that u don have to stick 2 phone like pancake for long time to transfer mah

NFC actually is a new technology. But the max transfer size is just few KB or something. Just sufficient enough to read encrypted data in NFC tags or sending a contact (vcard). Larger files are transferred using Bluetooth or WiFi Direct (Samsung Only). It's still something new to make everything easier. A tap on NFC Tag to perform this this this, a tap on a NFC Speaker to auto connect to the speaker via bluetooth or something, a tap to transfer a file/share a link/etc, a tap to pay your bills (not available in M'sia yet, too bad), a tap to EXCHANGE NUMBER??? (This should be the best )

I read for somewhere else, after wipe system, means rom are wiped and u can only boot into recovery. Some says rom are included with the wipe, so normally just factory reset is enuf.

My piece of advice
Accumulate some 'Heart' at the beginning of the game. Depends on what 'monster' is coming, summon appropriate 'ultraman' to kill them.
My second piece of advice... If you're being pawned like shit near their line of defense, better retreat to save 'heart'. Release all 'ultraman' at once to fight back. Else no chance of winning.
Need to use more tankers (lv2) than attacker (lv3)
Sarawak stage also almost same tactic I used. Didn't use lv4 attacker+tanker most of the time. Not feasible

Should you have missed it, we switched to SuperUser. We believe SuperUser is where its at currently, there's a lot of progression that we welcome. The root permission is genius for instance. Its open-source, looks good, integrated into the Android settings, multi-user ready, and well, it behaves properly like a cog. There has been quite some fuzz about SuperSU getting self-conscious and asking for money but let's just not get into this. The new permission alone makes it worth it and we want to help spreading it. Should developers pick it up root can at last be made trustworthy.

Vertu is a British manufacturer and retailer of luxury mobile phones established by Finnish mobile-phone manufacturer Nokia as a wholly owned subsidiary in 1998. In October 2012 Nokia sold Vertu to private equity group EQT VI for an unspecified amount,[1] (rumoured to be $200 million) [2], but will retain a 10% share.[3] By early 2013, 326,000 phones had been sold, and phones were on sale in 500 retail outlets, including 70 run by the company.[4] The phones are technologically modest and most popular in Russia, Asia and the Middle East.[5]
OH NO!!!!! Nokia sold it last year. That's pretty bad
Same here. In aokp 4.2.2. Wifi will disconnect when screen is off without no app running. If has apps running wifi connected as usual. If nokia running android on their phone, i think they can beat others big brands like samsung,htc,lg and etc.
Question : which browser better for gnex? (Stock, Chrome, Dolphin, Firefox, Opera and etc)
im using stock browser...im quite please with it...more fluid and fast compare to boat browser i use before...

why pay more for little different in spec? student got too much $$ to spend go work for vision malaysia etc. low pay and more beneficial to public. or save it for hujan lebat yang akan datang

Just wait until price drop to 900 then buy. Hahha..
AOKP B5 : memory leak fixed? I've downloaded bit still not flash this release.
900? You slow slow wait ya Even GNex can't reach 900 price point.
in May, google IO unveils news iteration of Android dessert.
N4 price goes up again
It won't goes up like Galaxy Nexus did. Because it's already a popular device due to DiGi and that low price point unlike Galaxy Nexus. Galaxy Nexus was not known by most of the people before that JellyBean thing. That's not the case of Nexus 4. Get what I'm trying to say?

Lol. Expired Z. Haha..
Ya.. Just wait until price reach 900. Maybe. I know until now new set for gnex still around 1k-1.1k. Im proud to be a gnex user. Haha
just curious in the mission to extend battery life, does different ROM increase battery life? or is it just Kernel that will affect battery life and nothing to do with which ROM?
aokp build5 cannot change dpi resolution? or any apps to change the dpi? tq
using root explorer to change the dpi. settle. answer my own question. lol
Just wanted to say change it using root explorer
AOKP was once the most feature-rich ROMs. Not sure why this time they're quite slow in adding cherry picks. Not even something like dpi changer

Both of them can have influence on battery life depends on how you use them

just wondering what we can do with 16gb storage, u guys here dont do gaming?
16gb (13.33gb in exact) enough for me to have 6gb of songs+pictures, 1gb of titanium backup data, 1gb of Custom ROM related thingy, 3gb of free space, 2gb+- of installed apps.

Consume alot of space but it's nice to play and nice graphic also.
I predict N4 2nd-hand price will reach 900 in half a year
2nd hand is possible but impossible for a new set to reach 900.
Half a year is also not very possible. Galaxy Nexus still worth at least 700 in second hand market. I bought it for 1000 (2 weeks old from the seller) AP set in June 2012. Quite awesome already
