Nexus has several advantages.

1) bigger screen, hopefully devs will be able to utilize the full screen for all apps

2) virtual keys

therefore even with both having ICS, it won't be exactly the same. (rest of the hardware is debatable as both have pluses and minus - like screen tech/sd card/etc)

Besides, nexus is likely far more popular so the number of devs attracted to this device will likely be much higher.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
sure the manufacturer offers the 'unlock' ability, but the carrier has the final say. both the rezound & the droid razr have the ability to be unlocked, but verizon wont let it happen. so with the rezound, since the devs cant get htc to permit the unlock(again, thank you verizon) they've just been attempting a work around now since the phone's been out and to this day are still struggling with it. so no roms/kernals/etc yet.. just a b.s. "temp root".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Dude.. the Rezound's bootloader has been unlocked, even on Verizon. They're S-ON but with an unlocked bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skynet11:
... Or locking your house door before you leave ;)

Almost every guy who thinks he's a "dev" will kang stock or CM9, add a couple of "espresso" tweaks (you Fascinate guys know who I'm talking about ;)) and pass it off as something original. They'll each have threads at least a hundred posts long and minions who will swear that it's the smoothest/fastest/overall best ROM they've ever run. The really good devs will make significant changes from stock and/or CM9, making basically original AOSP ROMs (of course, CM9 itself will be good).

But don't imagine that the Rezound will have better "devs" because in the Rezound community, there will be lots of "winzip" Sense ROMs, where they replace a couple of apps in the zip file with slightly modded or AOSP versions and zip 'em back up and claim to be releasing a "new" ROM. In the end, though, there will be more choices here, and better choices from not having to bypass proprietary software and drivers built into Sense.

My advice is stick with your Gnex and read the OP's of the ROM threads carefully. You would profit even more by learning to read the changes they make in their gits before they compile and post in the forums.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PaulG1488:
So that op claims he's a flash o holic yet isn't smart enough to know that nexus devices are the best when it comes to dev support

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tigajr:
The HTC Rezound is a very nice phone, but I am sure the dev community of the Galaxy Nexus will be bigger than the Rezound's. The GN is a Dev phone.

Do not forget, if Sense is so important to you, that you won't have access to the latest ICS build from Google for a while and You will have to deal with some important hardware and software differences in ROMs, like virtual keys, for example. ICS will never be the same. Close, but not the same.

But If you decide for the Rezound, you will have a very capable phone too. But don’t do that, stick with the Galaxy Nexus.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] p-slim:
I agree with Paul's statement fully, now carry on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pr3cision:
Umm considering nexus will most likely be one of the first devices to support cm9, I say yes...switch to rezound so u don't hog bandwidth so I can download mine faster..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bluesnake01:
Actually... you can. You can't mess with Radios, H-Boots and some partitions but as far as Roms, Kernels and Recovery's, we can finally mess with that.

It's only a matter of time of when ICS hits the Rezound through a Dev now, Sense ICS is already available on the Sensation. Great news for all Rezound owners!

Reminds me of the Nexus 1 and Dinc , both great devices with lots of support. Either one will work O.P, the Nexus will always have the biggest support but HTC devices like the Rezound will be backed up by a lot of the same people from the Original Dinc which is great news!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] times_infinity:
You should check out the rezound section on here and on root, once the bootloader got official unlock support roms started getting released as well as recoveries. erishasnobattery released a bamf rom for it last night as well as an Amon-RA style recovery. And I do believe ThatDudeButch posted on twitter that a version of CWM was just built for it as well.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shoman24v:
Really, you think the rezound is gonna have more ROMs?

Lololololol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tifford:
abso-fing-lutely

fact: Rezound now has s-off with unlocked bootloader and custom recovery as of yesterday

in the very near future (just a matter of days I'm thinking), there will be an ICS rom. the Rezound roms will consist of more options including cm7, cm9, other AOSP roms for both 2.3 and 4.0, ICS, and then sense roms for both 2.3 and 4.0. my concern is that the nexus will be stuck with a whole lot of 4.0 aosp roms with only slight differences (like status bar toggles, lockscreen options, trebuche, etc.)

the nexus will certainly have a "bigger" dev community, and will certainly get updates first. but if I have to wait 3 days for the newest and greatest build of ICS to be ported, but also get all of the other options, then that's okay with me.

now, will the nexus have roms with better build quality? most likely. but will it have roms that differ far from the stock ICS build that came out of the box? that's what I'm worried about.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tifford:
like I said before, I like to switch up roms every couple weeks, and if I can only jump from AOSP ICS to cm9, that's not a big enough change for me. I don't care if its "inferior" to others, I value options more. call it stupid, but if a rom came out that looked and felt NOTHING like anything else, but ran off 2.3 without camera or wifi, I like that.

I've been running ICS for over a month now from my Incredible... I'm almost already bored with it :x
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tifford:
but despite everything I've said, I'm still leaning towards keeping the nexus.

I still think that it will ultimately have a stinger community and stronger development for a longer period of time. and if I stick with it, the variety of roms will blow my socks off
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mohitrocks:
If you want roms, I would stay stick with the Galaxy Nexus. It's a pure Google phone, and phones in the Nexus line are highly regarded as "developer phones" which explains the amazing variety of roms we have in the matter of a month or less.

BUT, if you wan't sense:

I can't help but think there will be an ICS Sense port for the Galaxy Nexus but I don't know when, and by my best guess not a lot of people want it on the Galaxy Nexus so it'll end up coming later than the Rezound. But if time is not an issue, I'm pretty sure some talented developers will come up with an ICS port of Sense for the Galaxy Nexus.

Also, with the Nexus you are buying:

1.) Updates from Google - whether that's fixing some bugs or releasing a new OS :D

2.) Huge developer Base

3.) First look at official ICS

4.) Software optimized for the hardware
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skynet11:
LOLOL

Has anyone seen John Connor?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zombieflanders:
Let's unpack this:

First of all, out of all of those, there's only the three GB options that are unlikely to come to the GN. And why not? Most, if not all, members of the official CyanogenMod team have moved onto CM9. They've more or less stopped work on CM7 for the foreseeable future, and nightlies are no longer being uploaded. Most of the independent dev teams and individual devs have moved on to cracking the ICS nut as well, even for legacy devices. Second of all, this also begs the question of what, exactly, is in GB and/or Sense that ICS is missing. Since you don't say what that is, it just feels like agitating at the moment. And third of all, you make it sound like the dominos will fall very quickly. But as far as we know, we're talking ~5-8 months before HTC releases Sense 4 (or whatever they want to call it). Assuming that Sense doesn't break something, that gives the GN a minimum of 7 months head start on code designed for the device in hand, and that doesn't even take into account carrier delays. Knowing the "bright and shiny" mentality at HTC, they'll already have moved onto the next device (possibly twice over) by then, so we can't even be assured that the code will be optimized for the Rezound. In the meantime, Rezound devs will be focused more on just trying to make sure code works properly while GN devs can focus on streamlining and adding functionality.

I'm not sure why you think this. Have other Nexus devices been stuck with AOSP ROMs with only slight differences while other devices do not? If so, then there's a bit of concern. If not, then it seems you're just needlessly creating doubt. If you've got the evidence, by all means point us to it.

Again, you're being nebulous here. What are "all of the other options" that you're looking for? What does GB and/or Sense have that makes them more attractive? What about ICS makes it less attractive?

At the risk of repeating myself, why do you worry about it? Can you cite evidence that this is the case with previous phones? Also, the way you've talked about ROMs, it almost seems like you'd rather a device have more options (including downgrades) rather than more functionality, which makes almost no sense. After all, you don't see a lot of iPhone 4/4S users pining for removing functionality like iOS 4, or Windows Phone users pining for WM6.5, so why would there be a need to do so for Android devices? Besides, given the choice between a device with dozens of ROMs that mostly do a mediocre job and a device with fewer ROMs that do a great job, I don't think you'd find many here that would choose the former. You're welcome to, of course, because that's your call. It's just that it seems pointless to most of us.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericc191:
OP, it sounds like you are just trying to rationalize your mistake of purchasing the wrong phone. Go back to Verizon and exchange it for the Resound.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tifford:
I'm more playing devil's advocate than rationalizing in favor of the Rezound...

The Nexus S did just now (as of a week ago) did just get a Sense rom. There has also been some attempts at other UI ports (moto blur, touch wiz, etc.), and its obviously had MIUI for a while. But for the most part, they've been a variety of AOSP based roms...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] irishrally:
Jelly Bean. That is all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PaulG1488:
So why on earth do you want to have roms with bloated slow skin ports of all the ui's u just mentioned

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zombieflanders:
Playing devil's advocate in a specific device's forum rather than taking it to the general forums is awfully close to trolling. If you'd rather not come off that way, it would help for you to expand on what exactly your issues are and to back up your assertions with evidence.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tifford:
I hate touchwiz and moto blur. I was using those as examples to show that the nexus s has indeed gotten some development in for roms other than gingerbread AOSPs

I never once bashed the nexus, nor did I ever say I disliked the phone. I apologize if it somehow came across as that. and I'm sorry, but I'm not going to give links to all of the points I made. look at the rezound android development forum to see that the Rezound has s-off and a custom recovery. look in the nexus s 4g Android development forum to see the one sense port and others I mentioned.

the rest I was talking about was pure speculation. I'm assuming that the Rezound will offer sense, cm7, cm9, miui, and other aosp roms at some point. I'm also assuming that the Nexus will offer roms based on 4.0, but I have no clue what kind of variety that will include. an miui rom is almost good enough to be a daily, but who knows if sense will be ported over (like it was with the nexus s) or not.

I do know that the development for this phone already kicks a$$, and will only grow in ways only time will tell.

I'm most likely going to stick with my Nexus. I'm confident that the quality and quantity of the roms will be more than enough to satisfy my flash-o-holic ways...

I'm sorry if I stepped on any Nexus toes, I didn't want or mean to. I simply wanted a discussion about which phone will have a bigger variety of roms.

So from this post you can see how the problem started...

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1414448

I figure that the problem is unfixable so I want to pull data from my sd and wipe it but I need a kernel with cwm. If I flash one with odin (I'm sure I'll find one) will it increment my flash counter?

Sorry if this has been answered but I presently don't have access to a computer and the XDA app does poor searches.

*EDIT* After doing some reading it seems that cwm kernals will increment counter. Sorry for forum clutter.

Just wish there was a way to access phone file system.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bidyut:
Depending on the version you have you can root the phone first using an exploit and then manually flash a cwm kernel using dd.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Ashhong:
I have CWM kernels without increasing the counter..just follow the guide on here. Forgot where it is..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] evil_trolloc:
Also, I've heard that the USB jig will reset the counter along with entering download mode.

I'be also heard that the ATT update adds a "reset counter" to the original counter but Im not sure.

I've never ran an update and I've the phone when it was released and I have a jig from my cappy that works on the i777. I can test it but not sure where to read the counter.

I thin

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Flashing a CWM-enabled kernel (in fact, ANY kernel other than a Samsung stock kernel) via download mode triggers the counter.

Flashing it any other way does not.

Flashing a prerooted system image does not.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] lambition:
USB Jig will reset/clear counter on i777.

I made my jig out of 2 100k resistor and 1 100K potentiometer just because I ran out of 100k resistor, and wanted to reset right away.

They are cheap on eBay.

Just have to have 301k ohm resistor between ID pin and GND of micro USB port.

Using 3 100k ohm resistors to make 300k works fine most times, but should use 1% tolerance resistor. 5% may cause too big of difference.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hondalude89:
This is an OK tablet. I got one for my kid, and it works for her. Check the link below and download the file on the first link.

If you don't have CWM, it's ok. You just have to do a factory reset: Menu --> Settings --> Privacy --> Factory Data Reset. Then just follow all the directions and install apks in order done in video. I was ready to give up on this tablet and just chalk it up to garbage. This truly has the Android experience after doing this.

On another note, please be aware that some apps are not available with this market install. My work around that, I just downloaded whatever applications I wanted to my SGSII and used appsaver app to extract APK and transfer it to the Kyros. I had to do that to install Flash Player and Netflix. I also did the same for the Amazon App Store. Which by the way, works excellent.

[Wildfire General] ccdreadcc:
use market enabler app
[Wildfire General] siratfus:
Thanks, but can you provide specific instructions? I am a complete newbie. I see market enabler in the android market when I search via pc. But how would I access it with the wildfire when their is no Market app or icon? It has some sort of chinese market.
[Wildfire General] usaff22:
The Wildfire is a different phone to the Wildfire S. In this forum we have Wildfires, not the Wildfire S. The Wildfire S is in a different forum. If its running 2.2.1 it's probably a Wildfire.
[Wildfire General] siratfus:
I believe I have the Wildfire.

Do you have any instructions you can give? Thanks.
[Wildfire General] Justice™:
To enable the US/UK Market? Well, you just need to search the market for market enabler. If you can't find it. You'll have to find an APK for it. (Make sure that you can install apps other than ones from the market!)
[Wildfire General] siratfus:
1. Does the phone need to be rooted first? I see some of these enabler apps that says "root permission." If yes, how do I root it?

2. The browser on the wildfire for me sucks and slow as heck. So I would need to find the apk on my pc and put it in the microsd. However, in the past, every-time I do this, I cannot find the file from my phone. Can you tell me where exactly should I put the file on the microsd, and then where to go on my phone to look for it?

Thank you.
[Wildfire General] Justice™:
1. Not quite sure if root is needed for it. Just check the one you're looking at on the market page on your pc

2. Yes, you can! Just hook your wildfire up to the pc in usb storage mode
[Wildfire General] ErwinP:
1. Root is essential. In the wildfire development section are lots of good tutorials that guide you step by step trough it.

2. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like you do not have a file explorer? Just as in Windows and in the GUI of linux, you need a program to explore your system (windows explorer and nautilus, respectively). It was a bit strange for me as well, but such an app doesn't come standard with your phone. So you ave to go to the market (you can do it with command on your pc as well, but going from your experiance it will take some time to get to know that). Here is the market link for ES Explorer, which I personally like most: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop

From there you can browse to your sdcard and when you select an apk that you have put there with the use of your pc, it will ask you to install it.

Good luck :-)
