Emo i don't know what the hell is wrong but when i build framework is always missing.. i haven't modded anything in configs.. as pablopl is active again on github and is doing things with configs.. is there anyway to make log of that terminal while compiling ?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] adil_:
Is it framework/base?

I too have that warning... but it doesn't affect anything during compiling...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] madman:
not warning stuffs.. after build is complete in folder, zip do not contain all the framework files like framework.jar , services.jar and many more things go missing and there is no way to track down other than terminal
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] CallMeVentus:
I think it's make [options] -v > make.txt

I couldn't reply to the [ROOT][EG30/31] Automated root of your existing stock ROM (w/o ODIN or ROM Flash)

post in the dev forums because I'm a noob, so I figured I'd post it here.

The OP's Mac instructions were a bit vague for noobs like me, but I figured it out, hope it helps others.

1. Download the eg30auto.zip listed in step 1 of the original post. Unzip it.

2. Follow step 2 in the original post for hooking up your phone

3. Download the platform tools here and unzip

4. Copy the adb file from the platform tools folder, to your eg30auto folder

5. Open a Terminal, cd to the eg30auto folder

6. Use these commands to open an adb shell, copy the needed files:

7. Run the exploit (do not type the $ symbols)

8. The previous step will take a few minutes. Assuming it is successful, it will kick you out of "adb shell". Restart "adb shell"

9. Your adb shell should now have the # prompt indicating temporary root. Proceed to install persistent root and cleanup the temp rooting files, followed by rebooting the phone (do not type the # symbols)

If you get an error during the install, consult the original post. Otherwise, you should be rooted now! Mad props to the hardworking devs that blessed us with this early christmas gift!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andythefan:
For someone in the United States trying to get the HSPA version of the Galaxy Nexus, where would be it be the cheapest to buy from (after tax, shipping, VAT, etc)?

I've been trying to get my hands on the GNexus, but paying 750+ USD just doesn't seem worth it (even if it won't come out in the US for a month or two if at all). Can we compile a list to compare the prices of all the retailers (online preferably) that are selling the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KiNG OMaR:
~$690 shipped from Handtec :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rashad1:
Handtec, get your order in ASAP they should be getting new stock today.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andythefan:
That's still a bit pricey... about one hundred more than what I am willing to pay (I got both the Nexus One and Nexus S for <$600). Is that the cheapest price anywhere?

Does it come with a warranty or insurance?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rashad1:
This costs more than the Nexus One or Nexus S. You won't find it for cheaper for a while.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Unless they start selling them in the US directly at retailers, you won't find one for under $600 any time soon. Right now Handtec is the cheapest at just under $700 as others have said. When calculating your price keep in mind that some credit card companies charge a foreign transaction fee of around 2%-3%.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andythefan:
That's it! I'm sleeping under a rock! Someone wake me up when the Galaxy Nexus is under $600! I have nothing else to live for! :'(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thiagodark:
ok, got it... £450 is a pretty reasonable price to me, since i'm gonna be in the usa next week i'm thinking to buy it, so i'm wondering if i'll need to pay any import duty...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
Youre also paying the premium of it being imported and the satisfaction of having it early. Its not a high rollers club thing. Its just reality at the moment. The more my atrix rebooted the more i want to throw this phone out the window even though its a nice and capable phone. My nexus hopefully will be here by friday. Oh yes it will be mine.

Sent from my samsung gt i9250 which is in the wrong country.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dark lord me:
They come out in Canada on the 8th so there should be more of them out there so the price should (theoretically) go down
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
No. Probably still looking at $700usd with all the fees, shipping and taxes. Some of us thought about that but the savings are marginal.

Sent from my samsung gt i9250 which is in the wrong country.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InternationalNexusFan:
Here is how to get the Samsung Galaxy Nexus for up to as little as $465 in the US:

1. Sign-up for MrRebates.com to get 2% cash back from Expansys-USA.

2. The phone on Expansys USA is $750, but you can use the discount code 20OFFLS to knock the price to $730. (It has to be a US seller in order for you to be able to use step 3.)

2. Since you use MrRebates.com, you get 2% cash back, which brings the effetive price down $715.

3. You can use the Price Protection feature of your credit card to get price drops of up to $250 reimbursed, but only if the transaction was in US Dollars. So if, within 60 days, you see the phone advertised in the US for less than $730, the credit card will give you the difference.

4. This might reduce your total damage to $465.

We may not see a full $250, but I venture to say that a $100 price drop is virtually guaranteed.

Other have mentioned to use BigCrumbs.com instead for 4% cash-back. Their reviews are not quite as good as those of MrRebates.com though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spovat:
what card is offering the up to $250 PM? none of the ones ive looked into are matching online purchases =/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
Interesting about the price protection... i never knew that. I did some quick googles on it, and it seems most credit cards don't have it anymore, or the restrictions make it useless.

http://creditcardforum.com/blog/amex-citi-chase-credit-card-price-protection/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Your "total damage" will only be as low as the cheaper one you could get in the US. And since the phone will never be sold for $465 unlocked in the US, you'll never get a full $250 back. Like you said, a more reasonable price we'll see for the US unlocked version is about $600.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InternationalNexusFan:
For example this one: http://www.capitalone.com/cash.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] catpunt:
ebates.com has 6% cash back from expansys-usa again today so i ordered mine for $750 - $20 coupon - 6% ebates cash back - 1% credit card cash back = $678.9 in the end (hopefully). oh and if you're a new ebates.com user you get a $5 cash back bonus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] steevo1:
Thanks for all of the tips everyone. I think I may pull the trigger today and get the Galaxy Nexus from Expansys.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
loaded for me first try.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] steevo1:
edit: I figured out why I was having trouble. See later post.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InternationalNexusFan:
Does ebates.com always have 6% cash-back from Expansys or is this a Cyber Monday deal?

6% of $729 translates to an effective price of $685 after using the discount code. That surely has to beat any of the current import options.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andythefan:
Buying from Handtec (including shipping) is about $683 without any coupons, rebates, or money back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InternationalNexusFan:
Probably somewhat dependent on your credit card though (foreign transaction fees).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andythefan:
You're probably right. I've heard of the horror stories with credit/debit card companies denying or holding up payments just because it's international.

I think the best course of action is just waiting until the price goes down or brick and mortar retailers in the US start selling the Galaxy Nexus because frankly 700+ dollars can buy a nice laptop or a decent desktop computer. Even with how much I love Google, Android, Nexus-branded phones, and the entire experience smartphone, I just can't justify spending that much on a phone that is already so late.

We all have our opinions, and feel free to disagree with me, but I don't think Google or Samsung planned the announcement and release of the Galaxy Nexus very well at all. All this waiting is making me lose interest in a phone that I'm obsessed over. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] steevo1:
OK, I see what my problem is now. I have a custom hosts file on my computer and it was blocking some sites related to the ebates process. I have modified my hosts file and I should be able to place the order now.

---------- Post added at 06:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:40 PM ----------

I just placed my order for the Galaxy Nexus from Expansys USA using the ebates 6% discount and the $20.00 off coupon.

Thanks to everyone here for sharing these discounts. Now I wait for them to get it in stock. No problem though. I've waited this long, a few more days won't matter.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mstyle88:
So whats everyone's guess as to when we'll see a unlocked GSM model at Best Buy here in the US?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
february for gsm in usa. my guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Month minimum after Verizon release. Unfortunately...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] catpunt:
for anyone that ordered via the ebates.com referral link -- did you get any confirmation from ebates.com that the referral worked? if so, how quickly did you get a notification? once the order was processed?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] steevo1:
I placed an order and I did not receive any type of notification or confirmation that the ebates referral worked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mstyle88:
Agreed. Though I find it odd that they sent out the GSM version to every US tech news site, blog, editor etc. By the time the GSM version hits the US, people who are interested in the phone would've moved on by then.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krohnjw:
Well, not entirely. People are STILL buying the Nexus S new and popping up in the forum over there. So I don't think everyone will have moved on in 3 months or so. Some for sure but most will still be around.

The second part may be that getting maximum exposure may push more customers to request the device from their carrier. Who knows where Google is with carrier subsidies for the device. Perhaps greater public interest could speed that up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bballs91:
So I'm looking at the handtec site now at it says 509.99 pounds which is around 788 USD. Without VAT its 424.99 pounds. How does VAT work and which price would one actually end up paying?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mstyle88:
If you are in the US you dont have to pay VAT.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maconsultant:
Thanks for the tip, very much appreciated.. Now for the waiting..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
It's amazing. I have my GN being delivered wed and I still sit here using my nexus s still loving it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
You don't pay VAT when you're importing from the UK. You pay the 424.99 GBP, just like before. The price has always been that.

Just add it to your cart and select a US shipping location/method. You'll see the price adjust to remove VAT.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sitnlow4life:
I walked right into the states with it last weeek no problems

If you are a permenant US resident you can bring in up to 800USD in merchandise with out paying anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InternationalNexusFan:
Did you declare it on your customs form?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ztm.000:
Handtec raised prices from £424 to £439, just so you all know.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] madhat73:
yes there was a blog entry about this stating that like clove they have no stock from samsungUK but have stock at a slightly higher price "bought at a premium"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
i think the galaxy nexus is selling like hotcakes and demand is outstripping supply and what does a capatilistic society do when that happens? capitalize.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sitnlow4life:
Is there a way to get my VAT refunded to me?

I bought the device in person at phones4u
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Davidplayer100:
I haven't seen anywhere that is selling it less than $700 (all costs included) but if you don't mind signing a 2-year contract you can subsidize it yourself (sort of) by doing this http://www.phonebuff.com/2011/12/subsidize-galaxy-nexus-att-t-mobile/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tnicko:
I bit the bullet and ordered it from Negri out of Las Vegas for $739.50, which includes shipping but I paid for 2-Day. That was about an hour and a half ago and I just got a mail saying it shipped along with a Fedex tracking number. Damn that was fast. Let's see...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
Still paid $600 for it. Dum dum forgot to include the initial $200 spent on iphone 4s. Lame.

Sent from my samsung gt i9250 which is in the wrong state.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CremeDeLaCremex:
subsidize ..... It's just a credit, you pay it with the monthly fees, and most of the time after 2 years you have paid more as if you had bought it on your own, at least here in ger
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Davidplayer100:
No, it is included. Meaning it would cost $400. Plus tax of course.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rolear8:
I bougth mine from amazon for $735, the last week, but now is expensive, so this means that people is buying it...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jetrii:
Best I've found is $685 + free shipping from Negri using the coupon code vzsucks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Davidplayer100:
LOL I thought you were kidding, then I checked it out and it worked. Haha thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hooman64:
If I were you first I would change my Profile picture, what you said actually insults Einstein, and Science world!

then I would retake every math class in the world!

you buy an iphone for $200 then sell it for $550, simple math: 550-200= 350

this means you put $350 in your pocket. now lets say a Galaxy Nexus Costs around $700, (remember you already earned $350, so how much should you pay for it?) again simple math: 700-350=350

what does it tell you? that you can pay $350 for a $700 Galaxy nexus!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] down8:
I bit the bullet. My first Nexus (though I did have the G1).

Handtec was technically cheaper:

But, LV is much closer to CA than the UK.

Hopefully I'll grab something for re-upping w/TMOUS in April & recoup some of the cash. And I should still be able to get $150 or so out of my HD2 (it can run ICS now, thanks to Tytung & others!).

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pecoy:
i found it from popularelect for $669.99 has anybody bought from them before?

also does negri charge taxes if i buy from CA?

EDIT: ADD COUPON CODE NEXUSPRIMEI9250 AND IT TAKES ANOTHER $15 OFF, NOW TOTAL $654.99 AT

POPULARELEC DEFINITELY TEMPED NOW.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wendellc:
Purchased mine from handtec also but already looking for a 2nd nexus since I gave the other to the wifee.

Probably gonna wait till after CES.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jekyoo_style:
If anyone lives in Chicago or has relatives in Chicago, you might wanna hit up Popular Electronics.

http://www.popularelect.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Nexus-Prime-I9250-Unlocked-Phone-p/nexusprimeinstore.htm

They are currently selling the phone in stores for $630. I snoozed and bought the phone for $650 before Christmas but now it's at $630. You can bargain with these guys so say you wanna buy it for $630 flat. I did that when I bought the phone for $650. The only downside is that you can't return or exchange it. I didn't find this to be a problem since they grabbed a new Galaxy Nexus in front of me and opened it. We inspected it before I left the store so they aren't any problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ksnexusone:
so its been over a month since anyone has checked in. im about to buy a gnex for tmo. anyone beat the $616 price from handtec?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InternationalNexusFan:
Negri.......
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
+ 1.. You not only want the cheapest but you want a company that's willing to fulfill the warranty. Negri does this and if there are any defects, it'll replace the phone asap.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InternationalNexusFan:
1. Expansys USA: $610

2. Expansys USA:

$592

after using MrRebates.com for 3% cash-back.

3. Expansys USA: $589 after using BigCrumbs.com for 3.5% cash-back.

4. Negri Electronics: $596

I recommend using MrRebates.com instead of BigCrumbs.com for cash-back as they have a better reputation and order tracking and the difference in cash-back is small.

Expansys USA just dropped the price from $670, so I would guess this will be the lowest price for a little while. I have had good experiences with Expansys' customer service.

They also sell T-Mobile $50 refill cards at 9% off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
I'd still recommend buying from Negri. Keep in mind if you're buying from Expansys/Handtec/Clove your bank is likely to charge a 2%-3% international transaction/exchange rate fee as well. Negri's CS is awesome, they ship fast, and they're based in the US.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KrisHilbun:
I bought mine on amazon was..668 with 2day shipping
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InternationalNexusFan:
I am talking about Expansys USA, not Expansys. Expansys USA is based in the US. So there will be no international transaction.

MrRebates.com is very reliable for cash-back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mush03:
u missed it... it was $565 brand new shipped at negri

currently $595 brand new and i think theres a $15 off code somewhere
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NICEGYPT:
i got mine from negri for 580 last week
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] munchy_cool:
Negri for a sure..they have disabled all coupon codes though...or check xda marketplace a few gnex are up for grabs
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Even without a transaction fee, Negri is the better choice. Handle warranties better and no rebate stuff to deal with. You just get the good price from the start.

But hey, personal choice. I had a fantastic experience with Negri.

I got it for $565 also (quite an amazing price, really). They killed all the coupons for the $595 Canadian model though because its already so cheap.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InternationalNexusFan:
Any update on what currently the cheapest place to buy a new (not open box) GSM Nexus from is?

Considering that we saw $565 on January 4 on Daily Steals, I am surprised that around $590 is still the best.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Still looks like Negri at $595.50 shipped. Haven't heard any news of cheaper.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bpm2000:
My open box from Expansys USA is essentially new, came out at $565.

[Verizon Droid Charge] Bfitz26:
So I figured I would dig into android a bit more and learn how to start making my own themes anyone have a direction they can point me or some advise on what I Ned to know to get going :-)
[Verizon Droid Charge] spc_hicks09:
If you're going to use Windows, the first thing you need to get is apkmanager. This thing will be your "all-in-one" tool for everything you will need to do such as:

Pull files from your phone

decompile

well just everything lol. You can get it from here;

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=695701

The process you need to follow is actually kind of simple. It's just very time consuming.

First you will need to make the images that you want (unless you are porting a theme).

Now what you need to do is one or another, get the framework-res.apk and the SystemUI.apk from your phone, if you want to theme the launcher then you need to get the TouchWiz30Launcher.apk as well. (If you don't want to mess with using adb, use Root Explorer, just copy the apk then paste on your sdcard, then copy and paste from your sdcard onto your pc.)

Extract apkmanager to somewhere easy like the desktop and you should end up with a folder named "apkmanager" or whatever.

Inside that folder, you should have the following folders:

Other

place-apk-here-for-modding

place-apk-here-for-signing

place-apk-here-to-batch-optimize

place-ogg-here

projects

Then the following files:

log

Script

DO NOT MODIFY THE NAMES OF ANY OF THESE FILES OR FOLDERS OR NOTHING WILL WORK

Take the 3 files that you got from your phone and place them in the "place apk here for modding" folder.

Double click to open the "Script" file

Press "22" and hit enter to set your current job

Select either 1,2 or 3 for whichever apk you want to start on first

Select "9" to decompile

Once decompile is done, go inside the "projects" folder and now you have a folder inside there with whatever the name is of the apk you just decompiled.

Inside that folder are the images and XML files you need to replace (you might not have to edit any of the XML files, that's a little more advanced unless you already know how to.)

Most of the images you will need to edit will be in the following folders of each apk:

res>drawable

res>drawable-hdpi

NOTE: SINCE YOU ARE NEW TO MAKING THEMES, I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND MESSING WITH ANY IMAGE THAT ENDS IN ".9" These are called "patch 9" files and have some strict requirements for editing them. I would read up on these A LOT and multiple times before messing with them. (Unless you are going to copy another .9 file in it's place.)

Going to go home for dinner real fast but when I get back, I will go into recompiling the apks and getting them back on your phone.
