Wondering if there is a way to back the local bookmarks on the galaxy nexus.

I don't like syncing my Google acct browser settings since the way I have everything set up on my desktop version of Chrome doesn't translate that well onto my phone. However I'd still like to keep the bookmarks I set on my phone saved somehow so I can restore them if I flash a ROM or something.

If anyone knows a good method to do this, I'd appreciate any ideas.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Magnus_CA:
Install 'Bookmark Sort & Backup' from the market.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Intel_x:
Is there anyway we can get a separate forum?

Or maybe a way to post roms or mods.

Example:

[Rom](CDMA) [rom name v1.0.0] [kernel name]

[Mod](CDMA) [name v1.0.0]

Hopefully this sparks something. This forum is looking like a ghost town :(. I suppose there isn't much to talk about without root, but I wonder how many people that would've contributed to the Vivid have already moved on.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
The only things I plan to use permaroot for is permanently killing the bloatware (including CIQ), AdFree, Nandroid backup, using an international Raider stock ROM and SetCPU underclocking for battery life.

Hmm, come to think about it, that's actually a reasonably long list.

Blah, HTCdev, Y U NO WORK? Maybe the removal of the message could be heralding that something is coming...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ronnie498:
Your probably right a bunch have moved on, I would love a vivid but will wait till we can root.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] 8125Omnimax:
In AT&T's letter to Al Franken they mentioned CIQ was disabled on the Vivid and skyrocket because of performance issues when activated, even though it's dormant, and I still want it out. Having the source allows us to tinker with the rom ahead of time so we can build roms before bootloader unlock takes place

You figure most roms are tested via emulation before they are made flashable, these forums will be picking up real shortly, Therefore a bootloader unlock is not far away especially since they released source on the vivid.

I am currently "experimenting" with source. I hope to release a rom after the bootloader unlock and a stable method of permanent root has surfaced on AT&T Vivid Hardware.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slimslim:
Cool to release it so soon. It might be their way of saying "it's AT$T, not us" to unlocked bootloader.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ClippinWings:
So Soon?

They were supposed the release it a month and half ago.... on 11/6 same day the Vivid went on sale.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Longcat14:
Nope, because obviously AT&T said no.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
AT&T has no say so in GPL....releasing source code does NOT guarantee anything. they HAVE to release source code as mandated in GPL.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ClippinWings:
Exactly

The way it seems to be portrayed on that other dev site, GSLeon is making some pretty good progress; his last post was a few days ago saying that results are coming "in a few days".

Let's hope he's not trolling.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
I really don't think he's trolling. It's tough to give ETAs on this type of stuff. He's for real though.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pside15:
He's definitely not trolling. I haven't seen him give any kind of eta whatsoever, and never saw him say results are coming in a few days.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mohitrocks:
Hey everyone,

This question was bound to come back sometime, and since I have one day left to return the Galaxy Nexus, I wanted to re-raise the issue.

First of all, the GPU of the Galaxy Nexus is the PowerVR SGX540 clocked at 307mhz. Other phones that have come out relatively close to the Galaxy Nexus are the Samsung Galaxy S ll , HTC EVO 3D and finally the iPhone 4s (or the iPad in the site below) have much better benchmark scores compared to the Galaxy Nexus. Now I know the performance heavily depends on the drivers/etc installed but would that make any difference from a phone like the Galaxy S in terms of gaming performance?

According to these benchmarks: here the phone with the PowerVR SGX 540 at 300mhz (Optimus 3D) performs pretty horribly, and I have this phone for another 14 months. Since I consider myself an avid gamer, I want to know if you guys think this phone can last 14 months in terms of the GPU. I know its found in plenty of older devices such as the Galaxy S and the Nexus S, but there are so many games already optimized for it so do you guys think developers will continue to support this fairly dated GPU for the 14 months to come?

Now I'm no technology expert, so I'd appreciate if someone else could help me out here

Thanks,

Mosh
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
benchmarks don't really mean much to be honest. you could run the exact same test 10 times and get a different result each time.

as far as what this phone can handle... well, i have tried the following:

Shadow Gun

Sentinel 3

Samurai II

Fruit Ninja

Field Runners HD

Shinobi Barrage

all those games play fine for the most part, just a lil slow down here & there in the more graphically intense games like Shadow Gun(this game also makes the phone run very hot). as far as other phones go, i have tried all those games on my Rezound and they played just fine on that phone to. actually, Shadow Gun was a bit smoother on the Rezound(but only slightly).

i'd say as far as 'top-of-line' phones go(on Verizon at least) the 2 tops are the Nexus & the Rezound.

as for the future, supposedly Asus & HTC have quad-core phones with Tegra 3 GPU's coming out 1st Q 2012, but who knows how soon that actually will be(most likely will be push backs & won't see the light until summer or later)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Valynor:
First, the GN GPU is clocked at 384 MHz, second there is not yet a single game (game, not benchmark!) out there that comes close to utilizing the Tegra2 GPU (which is not "very good" either) to its fullest. Draw your own conclusions.

Mine are that the GN GPU will be more than enough until the phone is "old tech" anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bluesnake01:
Umm.. no.. its actually clocked at 307MHZ. Only way to see it clocked at 384MHZ is if you OC to 1.4 GHZ (CPU) which many Nexus become unstable or become slower for some reason. The Rez plays games better but its not a huge upgrade either. If you want a stronger GPU, wait for the Adreno 225+ or the new Galaxy S3. The Tegra 3 from what I remember reading seems to be still slower than the Exynos chip which to me is a dissappointment.

If we get games like Real Racing 2 graphics or better, our GPU's will not be strong enough to support them. The iPad 2 at times slightly stutters on Real Racing 2 even with its strong GPU.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shane_huskey:
The only game that I've tried to play other than Words with friends and Hanging with friends is Airport Mania 2 HD, which runs horribly on my Galaxy Nexus (with and without GPU rendering forced). Just food for thought. I'm wondering if 4.0.3 will help it out any. If it does, good, if not, oh well as I really don't play games that often, but it would still be nice to be able to play it on a "top of the line" phone. Other than that, I still like my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmaustin:
I noticed the slow downs in Shadow Gun too. Which prompted me to try overclocking. My phone stutters at 1.4 but very smooth at 1.35. Games play better too. And they're just getting started, who knows what they can do... I think its gonna work out great.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tuanies:
The A5 in the iPhone 4s and iPad 2 has a dual-core SGX543MP2, which is why it benchmarks a lot higher. If you want a mobile device that will give the best gaming experience, the iPhone 4s is your best bet as it has the most powerful GPU out of all phones available.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
i thought the gpu was 308 mhz? aaaand you don't need to oc to 1.4ghz for 384 mhz. i'm running 384 mhz stock and uv'ed. and yeah the 543mp2 suck up juice when you push them. but so does the 540. i'm happy with it. great balanced phone. should last two years. and somebody supposedly oc'ed the the 540 to 512mhz but i haven't seen a followup or proof yet so who knows.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MMcCraryNJ:
You want a great gaming device, get a tablet, or better yet, the PS Vita, which will have much better software titles from A+ game studios.

I hear all of this talk about how well or how poorly these devices (i4s included) do with gaming, but I say, who cares? There are good games on Android and iOS, but hardly anything worth investing 30-40 hours of time in, like the Vita will have. The way I see it, if I really wanted to have an amazing portable gaming experience, the 250 dollar Vita will give me Uncharted, Killzone, Metal Gear Solid, God of War, LittleBigPlanet, etc etc. The list goes on. Plus that 250 dollars will, as a console, last me more than 2 years. Plus it actually has buttons and thumbsticks and such, things that are pretty important IMO.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mohitrocks:
Thanks for all the replies guys!

One thing to be noted though: The GPU can be overclocked without overclocking the CPU.

Another thing though, I'm actually not going to return it because I realized that I barely need to play a 20+ hour game on my phone. At home I have a computer (With an i5 2500k and a GTX 560 Ti), Ps3, xbox 360, etc so there's no room for a mobile device in terms of gaming at home, and when I'm out I'm usually at school so I barely game, and when I do, casual games are sufficient for my needs.

Thanks again guys :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stkiswr:
The gs2 epic touch gets the Mali 400 I think. Its an older but still very fast gpu. My wife's gs2 pulls 4200+ quadrant stock. Considered one of the best on the market...even w age.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mohitrocks:
Quadrant doesn't mean much, it isn't optimized for ICS yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cbpagent72:
The Mali 400 is a newer and much faster GPU than the SGX540, the 540 is a leftover from the original Galaxy S and Nexus S. The Exynos CPU is nothing short of amazing. I did some side by side testing of the Nexus and the GS2 today and it wasn't even close the GS2 smoked it in every test and game.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stkiswr:
I wasn't trying to come off that quadrant was THE benchmark :) but over 4k stock seems nice.

I knew the gs2 was a beast but had no idea til we bought it. No buyers remorse here. It can stay on gbread forever for all I care. It runs better than anything I have used.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vash1053:
Haters gonna hate, but if you want a device for gaming, you should honestly look at an Apple device. The native nature of iOS apps gives Apple an advantage over Android right from the get go. Java apps will always be slower than apps written in C (or in this case Objective-C) for any given level of coder skill. Then you have to consider that Apple's current iPhone/iPad platform are running hardware that is uncharacteristically powerful compared to not only what Apple is notorious for using, but to most Android devices as well. Finally, the grim reality is still that the big name studios prefer to develop for iOS.

If you are ok with giving up many of the freedoms you may have become accustomed to with Android in exchange for gaming performance and selection, then the 4S is probably a good choice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
But can you play super nintendo on a bigger screen?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stkiswr:
Lol you can get a gs2, pair a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard to the phone and play and game u want. Can't get closer than that
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
overstatement, but close. you can do the same with the nexus too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
Agreed. I've found that I've tried to play more involving games on my phones, but I just have trouble finding a groove. I'd much rather play stuff like NFL flick QB and cut the rope.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stkiswr:
Haha to me if you really had the time to pair all that to a phone...you shoulda bought a laptop hahhaha
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
I have a laptop. Dont pair anything except a2dp bluetooth headset when i need to play music wirelessly. But it is freaking awesome catching up on old games from the golden age of gaming from my phone. Need to figure out if using a usb hub and mhl will allow playing with a usb joystick. Havent got to try it yet because google jumped the gun and hasnt released what is necessary.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lodingi:
If Apple offered a larger display and LTE, I'd probably ditch my Nexus for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rabaker07:
Too bad the screen on the 4s is way too small for any reasonable gaming experience. And then you're stuck with the closed, limited, and pricey Apple universe.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
And not being able to utilize all that power on a external display right?

Crazy world, ay?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grims:
They can do it over airplay which IMO is one of the coolest features of iOS
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
most games runs better and are optimized to run for the Exynos / Mali combo

so SGS2 might be a better choice if you are into gaming
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bbedward:
I wouldn't say they're optimized for Mali, the Mali 400 is probably the best gpu in any Android phone to date, which is probably why games run smoother (and the lower resolution)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Mali 400 is straight up ARM architecture so optimized or not there arent any workarounds to get things to work.

Crazy world, ay?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wonshikee:
I just downloaded and played a game called Frontline Commando, that graphics are really good and runs smooth on the Nexus - I think i'll be satisfied with this phone till my future Note II comes out, at which point we'll have crazy quad cores
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotchy:
Wow people actually game on these? I only use things like angry birds etc when at work inbetween serving or on the loo, thats why ps3's exist. Then again the bigger screen im getting may change my mind
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grims:
Comments like this and "that's what DSLRs are for" annoy me. The idea of a smartpohne is convergence of multiple devices into one. The technology is there for this. No, it won't ever be as good as any purpose built device, it doesn't mean it has to suck at it either.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
you can say PS3 Xbox even the PC/laptop are fading out with the ever more and more powerful Android phones / tablets coming out

specially when you have HDMI out, it's so sweet to play on the BIG 50' feet screen

now with full USB OTG a lot more support has been added for game controllers, mouse & keyboards for the phones

our "phones" are not really just phones, for most people like myself they are a portable entertainment system, that goes around with you

the perks, you get to work on your office stuff, and remote back into the office when a call comes in :p

other than that, the phone is all game, all audio, all movie :D

I'm rooted/unlocked with permanent CWM.

The phone keeps interrupting me with the update notification.

It fails to install because I have CWM.

I don't want to install a new ROM, just want the update. Is there an update for 4.0.2 that can be applied through CWM? ... like an update.zip anything flashable to bring me to 4.0.2?

Thank you all for your hard work.

I don't know if i understand what you are talking about, but did you attempt the unlock pattern too many times unsuccessfully ? If that is the case you have to do a factory reset.
