Granted Newt still had a hand at mikrunny, but I'm shocked. I thought you were HD or Die! Lol
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
I was before this bad boy came along. This still has Newt all over it, but mik himself optimized this one, so its like way better

But, yes, I'm a (almost) mik exclusive phone now. I'm gonna try theming aero's cm7.2 kang sometime tomorrow more than likely.

I'll give a +1 for MikRunny! It's no joke! The tweaks are awesome, and the softkeys rotate!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
Lol yep they do. I love that with this phone. When the girl told me they rotate, I was like, "Must. Get. This. Phone."
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] faehsemc:
I was actually pretty mad the first time I noticed my softkeys were sideways because I didn't know they were able to move... I figured they were stuck sideways all the time and I just didn't notice and I was wondering what idiot screwed up my phone.. I freaked out and then turned my phone and realized it was like that.. lol

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jakob95:
So this new ROM that Mik made is better then Incredible HD 1.1? What are the main differences with both? Is one more stabler and bugless then the other?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
HD was a combo of OG Sensation and Runny, whereas Mikrunny is 100% mik optimized runny. It runs better than any Runny ROM I've tried, and you can use skins with it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] OFish202:
And.... No need to sign into HTC hub. All the skins able to be downloaded from the tweaks menu. My fav tweak is the transparent status bar... Good stuff!!!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] FatGuyWithWifi:
cant go wrong with virtuous in my opinion, unity or affinity. BTW unity is the sense 3.0 version and affinity is the sense 3.5 version. They both are stable, solid roms and have their own tweeks built in. Also, and im not sure about unity, but affinity can overclock waaaay past 1.7 so thats definatley a plus. id highly recommend trying those 2 out, mainly virtuous affinity. heres the site if ya need it:

What is the best way to travel abroad with the GNEX? I'm currently on AT&T with an unlocked GNEX and plan on going to France in the next few months. Would it be better to setup international roaming with AT&T or find a prepaid sim from a French cell provider? In my situation, having a solid data connection>voice minutes.

Would the gnex automatically setup the correct APN's for a particular carrier or would they have to be manually entered? Also, since this is a "pentaband" device, wouldn't I be rocking a 3G connection?

A couple of years ago when I visited Israel, I setup international roaming with AT&T which worked flawlessly with my iPhone 3GS, albeit only Edge speeds. What sucked is coming home to an $800 cell bill..lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Local SIM > international roaming. The fees are outrageous on roaming. Its even better if all you care about is data. You can get good cheap options with data-only SIMs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qreffie:
Go with local sim unless you absolutely have to keep your US number in use while you're there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonny_rubber:
romaing agreements arent usually too bad for calls and texts for 'normal usage' - they tend to be next to useless for any sort of data usage.

I am from the UK and get a pitiful 25mb a day when i travel to europe, so data services are usually switched off until i check my email etc or find decent wifi.

So if you are going to need a lot of data usage probably a prepaid local sim is the way to go.

I dont know about france (most of my travel is to italy) but always get your sims from the official stores - not the independent ones (i have waited 3 days for sims to be activated).

you should also be able to just stick the sim in and be good to go.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AfroCreame:
Thanks for the replies!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aindow:
Yep your phone will set itself up for the new provider once you insert the new simcard. Failing that you could always ask someone in the shop for the manual settings just in case.

In any case you'd be getting a full 3g or h/h+ service on your GN just like I do in the UK.

Rik.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
I use TMoUS. I always just roam. Its a pain to send everyone I would need to a new number. I just eat the cost as part of my trip budget.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rashad1:
I've been out of the country pretty much the entire time I got my Galaxy Nexus, I've been roaming on Swisscom and using WiFi. I'm going to Paris in a few days and I don't expect to have WiFi so I'm going to get a prepaid data SIM. That's what I did when I went to London earlier this year. I texted over Google voice used Whatsapp, twitter Facebook because I knew I wouldn't have WiFi most of the time. You can also tether to other devices such as a tablet or laptop.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grannypotts:
If you do decide to pick up a local SIM card, you will need to bring (as a minimum) your passport to prove to the local government that you aren't hoarding SIM cards and selling them to third world country terrorist organizations. Some places won't even accept cash, and will require a credit card when a non-EU citizen is buying a SIM Card.

...and most of the place you go to buy a simple SIM card are NOT the places you are gonna want to leave your credit card number with. Shop wisely (i.e. T-Mo, Vodaphone, Citrus, etc chain stores...) and keep an eye on your credit card statements.

Check with AT&T as well about switching to an international plan for the length of your duration. They were willing to switch my wife's plan when we moved to Germany, but the rates weren't all that attractive. In the end, we simply just bought a new SIM card as you suggested, as the data limits imposed by AT&T USA in Europe were ridiculously (250M / month).

One more piece of advice, do not expect to "leech" onto open WiFi hotspots with the same frequency as the USA. There is a heightened sense of internet paranoia (in Germany at least) and VERY FEW people leave their WiFi networks open. If you DO happen to find an open WiFi is usually because there is a third party proxy involved in getting a valid IP address.

Good luck and have fun!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kam187:
Best bet is to use an old dumb phone, setup roaming and put your AT&T sim in there. Then you'll at least receive urgent calls. Then pick up a local Pay as you go sim, and use it in your nexus for data. I personally keep an unlocked nokia 6100 handy, as its small and has great battery life on standby and talk time.

Don't worry too much about all this passport, terrorist business, its NOTHING at all like that. Just walk into any big carrier's store over there and they'll sell you a sim no problem at all. No passport, credit card, or ID needed. If you try and buy 10 or 50 or something they might impose a limit. Its got ZERO to do with terrorists or third world countries, and more to do with GSM gateways where people route minutes using VOIP and GSM boxes. If you only buy 1 or 2 sim cards they won't ask you anything.

There's a few countries in the east and africa where they insist on ID, and that's due to them being used on the black market for crime. I think its fairly obvious france isn't one of those countries lol.

I travel a lot for work, so I know first hand.

EDIT: Yeah you'll get full 3G, and since its a GSM nexus you'll get HSPA+ too. Roaming data is usually over £1 or $1 a mb, so don't even bother. A local sim will probably give you unlimited (possibly capped at 3gb) for a 10 or 20 EURO topup. (haven't checked rates recently).

If you do travel a lot and only need data, you can also pick up a world sim (there's loads of them so check thoroughly), and for a £50 credit per month (about $75) you get unlimited data in most countries.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grant H:
Europe is great for prepaid sim cards with decent rates for calls and really good prices for data especially if its only for a short while on vacation. Just bring your phone into one of the many cell shops and they will be more than happy to program the new SIM and also add whatever money you want on the card. Too easy. I have separate SIM cards for Germany, Italy and The Netherlands.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] madmak:
While most European countries have a very simple process to get a data enabled SIM, it is almost impossible in France. I tried 5-6 shops during my vacation few months ago with no luck. Sweden, Switzerland, UK, Belgium, Germany were all a breeze (most airports and train stations sold data enabled SIMs for around 10 euros)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Q.Entity:
Get a local SIM card or use xcomglobal for a MiFi.

I am in Europe often and either way works great.

Overseas right now, picked up AT&T international traveller feature and only using WiFi for data with a local backup SIM handy for trips. Just not worth the inconvenience to use two phones personally.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dbergen:
Hey Guys,

I've had my Nexus for about 2-3 weeks, and my girlfriends just arrived today.

I've noticed when putting them side by side that hers has a blue tint to the screen, and it's really noticeable when I put the screen brightness to a minimum.

A few searches haven't yielded any results, so was wondering if anyone else has had similar problems

Should I just get a warranty replacement through Samsung?

Here's a few pics (mine nexus is on the left) - both on romanbb's IML74K rom, with franciscofranco's kernel (both 27/12 release).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AfroCreame:
It's normal. Seems like mileage varies with these screens. Not good, not bad...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dbergen:
Man that sucks! My screen looks 10 times better than hers. Do you think Samsung would swap it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dbergen:
anyone else got any ideas about this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neok44:
um, i don't think thats normal . your phone shouldn't be completely blue.

now honestly, you got lucky because most of ours have a very warm tint, especially at lower levels that ruins whites.

but your blue is just super strange. honestly i would return that because it shouldn't be that noticeable ever.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dbergen:
Yeah that's what I was thinking. I have read about a hint of yellow, but this is a very obvious blue.

I hate doing warranty returns because its so slow, but I think I'll have to.

[General Topics] MartyLK:
Looks like the aftermarket has been working hard on Android 4.0 compatibility because I was able to install both the ADWLauncher EX and LauncherPro Plus launchers on my ICS phone and they work fine. I chose to stay with ADWLauncher EX because of looking much more like the original ICS UI and allowing the same folder creation as in ICS. And the dock looks much the same. The only drawback is the lack of the search bar at the top. I prefer it.

Usability wise, these launchers completely smooth out ICS to buttery goodness. ADWLauncher EX allows for scrolling speed adjustment that makes a quick flick a pleasurable experience, no lag to be suffered anywhere. Both launchers bring back the more desired widget choosing function of previous Androids...tap & hold on homescreen.

It's really pleasing now. You get the functional goodness of ICS (excellent multitasker, softkeys and all that ICS brings performance-wise without the troubling UI performance issues.

Oh, and you get to use the OEM scrollable widgets.
[General Topics] slapshot30:
Oh dear... And now you're back to liking ICS. You're quite impulsive with your opinions, what will it be tomorrow?
[General Topics] orangekid:
I have a great setup on an Evo I modded for someone with Launcher Pro skinned to look exactly like ICS, on a CM7 ROM with Theme Chooser set to an ICS theme. It looks and feels amazing.

I don't think I will ever use stock launcher on an aosp device, it's so funny how 3rd party launcher guys make it so much smoother than google does.

ICS as an OS, although I like it, is starting a trend I don't like as "user friendly" to the point where things are harder to deal with. I actually prefer GB style widget adding instead of the HC sort and ICS sort where you swype the dock to get to the widgets. Other things like that. I don't know, maybe I just need to get used to it.
[General Topics] Archer:
This should go in your other thread about ICS being a letdown, rather than starting a new one. Would you raise that for a mod please?
[General Topics] MartyLK:
Have a look at that thread...I won't spoil it for you, go take a look. :rolleyes:
[General Topics] Archer:
I see it was quite rightly closed.
[General Topics] MartyLK:
Wow...really? You didn't see that the other thread was closed??

Apologies for seeming insensitive.
[General Topics] vnvman:
Duhh..i thought the biggest new thing about ICS would have been the ability to have a decent experience out of the box, knowing that i can change the launcher doesn't impress me much. Tbh 2.3 had already nearly all of the functions i needed, what i really wanted was a smoother and simplified ui, with less workarounds to be used, and at the end of the day it doesn't seems like ICS is really bringing that stuff to the user. Just my 2 cents.
[General Topics] orangekid:
I tend to agree, I like 2.3 with a custom launcher over 4.x with stock launcher any day.
[General Topics] MartyLK:
I just did a clean install of Android 4.0.3 on my HD2 and the difference is night and day. It is sublime. So buttery smooth and fast. The Galaxy Nexus is now back on the table and a wanted piece of hardware.
[General Topics] mistermentality:
Does it compare well to the ui smoothness of wp7 as not having ics myself I am curious?

Dave
[General Topics] MartyLK:
Not with the stock UI. It approaches iPhone smooth, but not WP7 smooth. But I am using ADW EX launcher and with that, it is WP7 smooth. I was using ADW on 4.0.2 and it made ICS very usable. But with 4.0.3, the difference is spectacular, to put it modestly.

[General Topics] MartyLK:
Yeah, the stock launcher is really, really good. The best stock launcher of any of the Nexus'. I just find more convenience with ADW and it looks almost exactly the same...configured the right way.
[General Topics] dj.lub:
I'm a huge fan of how smooth ICS is, regardless of the launcher. I've not messed around with Honeycomb too much, so going from Gingerbread to ICS is a huge jump for me in terms of appearance and performance.
[General Topics] mistermentality:
Its not because of changes in adw then? Would love to know what they changed to make the difference but glad they did it.

Dave
[General Topics] MartyLK:
It dawns on me that the quality and pleasure I'm experiencing now could be something entirely to do with Tytung's efforts with his custom ROM rather than a reality of the 4.0.3 OEM.

ADW is exactly the same between the two version. I can't see them making any changes from one to the next in such a short period of time. Not saying it's impossible, just saying unlikely. With this custom ROM, I actually updated to 4.0.3 initially rather than do a clean install. Even with an update 4.0.3 was noticeably smoother. Only until I did a clean install did I experience the speed and buttery smoothness of 4.0.3. It is a dramatic difference.
[General Topics] tolis626:
Well,you can even try GoLauncher on ICS and it'll be buttery smooth too,whereas in Gingerbread it's nowhere near the other launchers in terms of smoothness(Unless you own a 1.6GHz Galaxy S II :p :D ).Hardware acceleration does good after all.And some under-the-hood improvements in 4.0.3 are what makes it as good.Wait for some proper roms and you'll see(Not that Tytung's rom or any other ICS rom isn't good,but none of them is final,rather something like being in beta phase).
[General Topics] mistermentality:
So maybe tytung somehows trims down ics to remove problem issues?

Dave
[General Topics] MartyLK:
Yeah, I agree, this is just a beta ROM. I'm curious to see how a ripe ROM can be better than this.

I did try GoLauncher EX and didn't have as good of success with it compared to Launcher Pro and ADW EX. It was somewhat smooth but still exhibited some lag and herky-jerkyness.
[General Topics] MartyLK:
Likely fine tuned the build.prop settings.
[General Topics] MartyLK:
I uploaded some new screenshot with ADW EX launcher. There are some stock launcher screenshots so one can see the similarity of the two launchers.
[General Topics] soulz:
I only own 3 android devices. 2 nooks touch and a HD2 and was running ICS.

I won't lie, ICS is sexy :)!
[General Topics] upichie:
People still have launcher lag? What is this, 2004? I'm still rocking CM7 and my phone is buttery smooth. It only stutters when I'm multi-tasking mutliple processor-intensive activities. And I have a freaking single-core phone.

Sometimes I feel like the majority of users here at XDA don't know the first thing about tweaking their phones. Launcher lag, hah. :p
[General Topics] z33dev33l:
Every android device has launcher lag. The gs2 has greatly diminished it which made the GN more of a joke in comparison. It still exists en masse though.
[General Topics] MartyLK:
That's my experience. I have never experienced an Android device that didn't exhibit some amount of UI lag. That said, this latest ICS with ADW EX launcher generally has none. Now if I come out of a game or some app that hogs a lot of system resources and go directly to the homescreen, there will be significant lag and jerkiness for a few seconds.

EDIT - Forgot to mention...Android...my Inspire 4G...with Espier launcher has absolutely no lag whatsoever and is as buttery smooth as WP7.
[General Topics] z33dev33l:
Espier has been absolutely horrid for me. I tried it out, even looked at the coding and I see no indication that it would enhance the speeds any further. It's not even as well coded as ADW for that purpose
[General Topics] lowandbehold:
Here we go again...everyone is lying. I think you must be a joke of a dev if you can't get something simple to work for you.
[General Topics] slapshot30:
Oh of course, if you didn't experience it, its completely impossible and invalid.
[General Topics] z33dev33l:
There's no hardware acceleration implemented beyond what's already implemented in android, which is next to none. ADW and launcher pro both do more in this sense. The average fps in the UI on the highest end android phone, the GS2, is 26-28. This is easily visible in the UI, though they did an outstanding job on accelerating the browser. I thought even my g1 was smooth though, then I tried smoother, and smoother, now I've tried what is smoothest at present and the lesser is clearly visible.
[General Topics] lowandbehold:
LOL, you were talking about a 3rd party launcher, and now you get yourself off topic? The coding has nothing to do with it..a lightweight launcher will perform better. You have yet to link anything YOU have developed. I would like to see how "buttery smooth" your creations are.
[General Topics] slapshot30:
Zee, maybe android just hates you back. Maybe that's why you have had so many problems that noone else has.
[General Topics] lowandbehold:
HAHA, im telling you...he is the most technically uninclined person ever!
[General Topics] z33dev33l:
I love how the only ones attacking me aren't the devs. The devs know the issues and work to fix them, the people who come on here as fanboys to flash are, well, fanboys. I worked hard to eliminate lag on the captivate and HD2 but it was just present without direct help and a custom skin built exclusively for a phone.
[General Topics] lowandbehold:
Like i said...link or it didnt happen. You can't figure out the BASICS of android so I find it hard to believe you have developed anything worthwhile. That is why you need a phone that you can use "out of the box". It needs to be as simple as possible for you.
[General Topics] z33dev33l:
I never posted anything but the most basic dumps on here, my stuff is not on par with a lot of the outstanding developers that we have here and were often just modified CM builds. My dev skills on Linux are lacking because I don't care for Linux in any form. You really should quit acting like I'm unintelligent based on the fact that I acknowledge every OS's weak points as well as their strengths. You've yet to provide any credible info yourself that points to you being anything more than a raving fanboy.

E; Perhaps you should read up on that which you blindly support and stop taking anything negative as a personal attack. If an issue is not widely addressed then it won't be resolved.

I often wonder if they aren't Google plants sent out for PR purposes. One can get that idea based on how they defend companies, like they have an invested stake in them.

Your credentials are zero. Everyone that says something is lying because you have had a different experience. When points are brought up, and links to professional reviews are posted (such as my links about the lumia reviews), you always have the same response.."well that doesn't happen with my lumia" What you say is blind fanboyism from other people is the exact same **** you do. You have no proof of anything. Am I a dev? Nope. Never claimed to be. But I do work in an IT intensive environment, and I do know what I am doing. I don't claim to have 50 different phones.."oh, well my GS2 is ****". I don't claim to be "on par with a lot of the outstanding developers that we have here" but for some reason have never posted any of my outstanding creations on the site that I have been a member from for 4 years. What I say is real. Have I tried an Iphone? Yes. Have I tried a WP7 phone? Yes. Do I prefer android? Yes. Does my Android lag? Nope. I FIXED THAT WITH A CUSTOM ROM AND OTHER TWEAKS! It is really getting to be annoying when you call everyone a liar.
