I'm using Bigxie's Apex V1.0.2 ROM and Imoseyon's Leankernel both of which I highly recommend. Modem is XXKK6 which seems to work better than the other modems here on the Gold Coast.

Edit: Forgot to mention that I'm on Virgin mobile.

hi guys,just finished rooting my gnex,used mskip's toolkit(5.4),really nice &

easy,now the hard part,which bloody rom ?,think ill flash via cwm as rom manager didn't work very well from my previous flashing experiences.:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jellymelly:
guys help... should i flash yakju or AOKP+franco.kernel?

Pros and Cons of both? thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zedaycee:
I've used AOKP and stock and in my opinion there's not much gain from AOKP. Sure some things look nice and are more customisable but performance-wise I haven't noticed much. OC kernels would probably speed things up but at this point in time I haven't found any apps that require any extra speed that the dual core cpu can't handle.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ProficienTICS:
Hey everyone, shocked I missed this thread.

had the nexus since day one from mobi city, running aokp M4 with Franco nightly 66.

Any one running Franco I strongly suggest getting his app from the market, so good!

Was on optus for 10 years but after loving this phone so much changed to telstra a week ago..the data speed is insane.so much better than optus.

Running base band Xxkk6 wondering if any one recommends a faster data base band?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jellymelly:
How was the battery life on both? Are they both basically the same?

Also how many people have a fade tint on their screen? Mine fades green from the bottom left corner to red in all the other corners.. not sure if I should get it replaced, pretty minor though, but I'd rather not get a refurb used by someone else before :\
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zedaycee:
I find KL1 quite a bit faster than kk6. Get the USA version not the Euro version though... the Euro one worked really bad for me.

---------- Post added at 09:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:29 PM ----------

Haven't noticed much difference in battery life. The difference between stock and custom isn't as great as with the old Galaxy S. The customs will give you version 4.0.3 while the stock gives 4.0.2

Haven't had any fading tint on the screen. Where was your phone made? Apparently there's three places they're made and they're not all the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MistaBishi:
I'm running the same setup, except with XXKL1 modem. Awesome on battery, haven't plugged in for 2 days and just needed too then. Screen on was 1:30, but I had pretty terrible signal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Magoggles:
I have a very mild tint in the top left corner. Literally the only time I ever notice it is on the splash screen when the xda app starts up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zedaycee:
Try UGKL1. That one has great reception compared to the euro XXKL1.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hinee:

Hi guys, on Amaysim (optus reseller), from what I've read it seems the best radio for optus is UGKL1?

running yakju 4.0.2

I'm aiming for good battery life and fast data speed.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ProficienTICS:
Thanks! Where do I locate the American kl1 I can only find euro? Thanks again
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jellymelly:
i don't know where it's made, I got it on contract form vodafone.

oh well, I guess it's pretty minor, I'll just ignore it... only notice it at room lighting anyway..

also.. anyone know if UGKL1 or XXKL1 or XXKL6 is best for optus?

I find UGKL1 the best on optus.

Underneath the battery it says where the phone is made.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ProficienTICS:
Any differences that are known between models?

Mine is made in Korea and my screen is quite a lot brighter than my mates - but his gets much richer colours. And better scores in antutu ( every time 1k+ )
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zedaycee:
There's apparently differences in build qualities unfortunately.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hinee:
Just install the toolkit and experiment like I did
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aussiesausage:
ever since flashing aokp i been getting slow ass speeds with optus, anyone know what happened? dont want to have to go back to stock and loose everything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zedaycee:
Yeah I had similar issues with AOKP.... switched to bugless beast which is more stock with a few enhancements and it improved.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MistaBishi:
Flashing now, I'll get back to you and see how it goes!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] OniV2:
What country seems to have received the best build quality so far? I got mine from Singapore (yakujuxw, I believe) and then flashed yakuju.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MistaBishi:
I'll check mine later, but my quality is flawless!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hinee:
mines korean made and i'm really not a fan of the screen. differing brightness at the top and bottom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zedaycee:
I got a made in China one.... seems to run ok but the battery back cover is a little warped :-/

Not sure if it was originally like this or not though as I bought it used.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aussiesausage:
Downloading bugless beast nightlies now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zedaycee:
Make sure you get the newest one... the file order is a little bizarre. The newest one is in the middle of them all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aussiesausage:
Yeah i just figured that lol. Its march 2 i think?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Frosty666:
All my Nexus said was "Made by Samsung" and doesn't give a location at all. It had a pretty terrible screen and the glass was slightly higher on the right side, and there was a bit of flex in the back cover. The S/N said C1 which means it was made in January 2012.

I've sent it back to Samsung so hopefully it comes back with no issues.

Sent from my Snapdragon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zedaycee:
I think they're the made in Korea ones.

I've noticed that more people have issues with the Korea ones than the other ones.... some reason quality control there has failed badly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] OniV2:
My Nexus seems to be pretty alright. The colours display as they seemingly should, and it's fairly bright (even viewable at 1PM down at the beach on a sunny day). The only issue I have is that the audio is a little low, but I suspect that has to do with 4.0.2 rather than the actual Nexus itself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zedaycee:
Yeah audio being a little low seems to be standard. Hopefully Supercurio will solve it with Voodoo Sound or something.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] toansta:
i think he mentioned that he won't be doing voodoo sound for gnex but voodoo louder. shame :(

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] glennv17:
Mine's made in China, I haven't had any problems build wise, except the small dent I got in the screen two days after I bought it (my fault obviously, not the phone's build quality!). I've had a screen protector on since then and it sucks :( The quality of the bare screen is amazing... Especially the lack of fingerprints. I'm constantly cleaning the phone with the protector on there.

Edit: Just downloaded UGKL1, going to flash it tomorrow when I download a backup of DVKK6.

Just wondering if anyone knows of a screencast app that works? I found the APK for Shootme (which used to work on my Gingerbread Desire) but it looks like the screencast feature doesn't work with ICS. There's one in the Market (Play Store... whatever) that specifically says it doesn't work with Tegra 2/3 or the Nexus, so that's out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aussiesausage:
Got it and huge difference got my speed back. Thanks mate.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Joshaldo:
Hey guys I am running the high def revolution mod which has been good but what other mod would you suggest? I am with Telstra
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zedaycee:
I was going to try that one. That one is still 4.0.2 right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Joshaldo:
Yep 4.02 it is basically stock but very quick. It's a nice ROM. Maybe I should just leave it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zedaycee:
Ahhhh that's why I never tried it LOL. It was still 4.0.2 ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Joshaldo:
What ROM are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zedaycee:
Using bugless beast at the moment with the default kernel. Was thinking of switching kernels but can't see much profit from it at the moment.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Joshaldo:
Ahh I was thinking of grabbing that. What's it like? Is it on 4.03?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zedaycee:
Pretty good actually and it's on 4.0.3

Not too much messing around so it still feels like stock ics. Nova launcher is included if you want a launcher with more customisations (stock launcher2 is also included too).

Comes with the UGKL1 modem by default which seems to work best for me on Optus... not sure how it works with Telstra but if it's not so good the stock Telstra modem is available on the forum (search in the dev section).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Joshaldo:
Ok, might give that a crack and see what it is like. Have you got a link for download at all?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mystichobo:
Phwoar!

Just Installed Liquid! And I thought AOKP was snappy, this just blows it away.

Anyone know if any stores (T-Life/Optus/Voda/Virgin... anyone who carries the phone here) sell accessories? Specifically cases. The $5 special I bought off ebay when I first got the phone has cracked on the power button side. If they've got anything decent I'll go have a look.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zedaycee:
The ones from those stores are about the same quality considering they're probably made in the same factory. I've got a less than $5 one from ebay which is pretty good. The S-line ones... they list them as hybrid tpu/gel or similar... seems to be great so far. I've purchased a few different covers before and only had problem with one of them... it wasn't the correct fit cuz they sent the wrong one but they sent the proper one afterwards so it was ok.

---------- Post added at 11:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:07 PM ----------

They have a new one which was released today... haven't tried it yet though. Anyone had a look?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MistaBishi:
Does anyone else have problems on Telstra where the 3G network is just ridiculously overloaded and you cannot load a webpage no matter what?

Or is this just where I live being overloaded?

Every phone I have owned (whether it be iOS, Symbian or Android) have all displayed this issue. Maybe it might be time to look into another carrier...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zedaycee:
Quite possible it may be overloaded especially where there aren't as many phone towers around.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] patternott:
Yeah i've noticed this in Melbourne CBD. Data just comes to a complete halt. Telstra's NextG network is definately getting overloaded. http://delimiter.com.au/2012/03/15/telstras-3g-network-is-dying-in-cbds/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MistaBishi:
Well considering there is only 2 phone towers covering my town (population of 25,000, but Telstra are pushing Wireless Broadband due to the fact that their ADSL exchanges are crazy overloaded.) I might look into switching to Optus, according to their coverage map, there is better coverage throughout Tasmania then Telstra anyway.

Anyone made the jump from Telstra to Optus?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zedaycee:
Yeah well I've never been a fan of Telstra... overpriced for what they offer. Only really an advantage when you're trying to get reception in the middle of nowhere.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] toansta:
i've got a case from JB hifi. it's not cheap ($25) but it's sturdy, slim and does the job well.

it's a belkin brand. to picture

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zedaycee:
Belkin source their products from cheap places in China just like the ones you find on ebay.

May as well buy a cheap one from ebay LOL
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] glennv17:
Wow, didn't know that at all. I've seen a few good stories posted around the web from Smarthouse, think I need to start reading more of their stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MistaBishi:
I ordered a cheap $2 car USB charger from eBay, and it has Belkin branding on it. I thought Belkin were good, used to swear by their products. Now I think I will go for the eBay equivalent!

Lots of different modems/radios there... just try them out and see which works best in your area.

Anyone got any feedback as of yet regarding the Telstra radions and 4.0.4?

I'm flashing to 4.0.4 now. Hopefully it fixes my terrible GPS performance on my HK import using Telstra.

If not I will come back to this thread and play with some of the options in here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] liam77:
I'm finding the XXLA2 radio is working great for telstra. Got my fastest speeds so far with speedtest.

I used FasterGPS to change the ntp server to Oceania and got a quick fix with the GPS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MistaBishi:
Going to test LA2 soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MistaBishi:
Speeds are pretty average for me, though it is a Friday night. Peak time, so I'll test it tomorrow morning.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zedaycee:
You can get an even better fix by using the au.pool.ntp.org ntp server or by setting up several different ntp servers in your gps.conf file
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] liam77:
Thanks. FasterGPS wasn't keeping the settings after rebooting so did as you said and edited the gps.conf file with root explorer. Server seems to stick now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ryan_tripod:
Hey, I'm with Vodafone and I got the OTA notification for 4.0.4 this morning (I'm running yakju) and proceeded with it. Since updating, my phone has been constantly switching to "No service". Some times the signal comes back but otherwise I have to reboot/toggle aeroplane mode on then off to get signal back. Has anyone else been experiencing this?

I guess I'll just flash the 4.0.2 yakju radio back (or DVKK6) for now.

Also, does anyone know where I could find an Australian Vodafone stock rom? I've been searching for a while to no avail and I didn't dump my original rom. I'm starting to get a bit over cautious with my phone and I would like to be able to return it to it's original state if need be.

(Sorry if these questions have been answered before, I searched as much as possible before posting)

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zedaycee:
Was your ROM stock before the OTA update?

I would try the UGKL1 radio before going back to KK6. The KL1 radio seems to be the best for most people.

As to stock ROM, was the Vodafone stock modified in anyway? I'm on Optus and I didn't notice any customisation of the phone at all from them. If Vodafone didn't really customise you can get a generic Stock rom from Bugless Pete's website.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ryan_tripod:
Yes I was running Google stock 4.0.2 before the OTA, sorry I should have worded that better. I just flashed the DVKK6 radio to give it a try and it's not cutting out like the 4.0.4 radio which is great. I'll definitely try out the UGKL1 radio though since you mentioned it, thanks.

I don't think it was modified. I just wanted a backup plan if I ever wanted to get something fixed under warranty, I assumed that if I flashed a different yakjudv rom they would be able to tell. I'm a bit worried about my screen (like most people seem to be lol). I'll check out the website now, thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Unlawful:
It's even worse on the eastern suburbs and illawara line as there are black spots everywhere where there is literally no connection/internet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zeekiz:
Been using the XXLA radio which was packaged with the 4.0.4 update and it would have to be the best radio at the moment to be using on Telstra. The consistency of the signal has improved, with next to no drop outs as far as I can see, and the speed of data has improved dramatically.

Verdict? XXLA2 > DVKK6 > XXKK6.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrPenguins:
Good to know.

I haven't had the chance to give my GPS a workout but it seems a bit better so far.

It was deplorable before.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rypac:
XXLA2 has been great for me on Optus. Easily a bar more of reception than any other radio I've tried.

I haven't tried the newest UGLC1 though, so I can't comment on that one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zok-star:
A new radio out already?

XXLA2 on Telstra AUS2 Band is very fast!!!

Tested new radio. For telstra not very good!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ryan_tripod:
The DVKK6 radio ended up having the same problem as the XXLA2 radio. I tried 4 different radios on 4.0.4 and they all lost signal randomly, therefore I think Vodafone and the 4.0.4 update do not go well together. I found this post on the Vodafone UK website reinforcing my conclusion:

forum.vodafone.co.uk/t5/Google-Nexus/Complete-loss-of-signal-after-4-0-4-Android-update-SGN/td-p/1058363

[Sorry about the link, don't have enough posts]

I flashed back to 4.0.2 and tried the radios again and they all worked flawlessly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Foxxy74:
Build IMM76D (4.0.4) here

Radio XXLA2 (Standard 4.0.4)

No problems with the radio on Optus here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hinee:
I'm amazed at the new XXLA2 radio. Doing a speed test to a local brisbane internodeserver I've managed to get just short of 700kBs which blows anything on 4.0.2 out of the water.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] k3Ke:
with Vodafone aus, CM9+franco kernel,

just flashed to XXLA2, seems everything loads much faster than XXKK6. thanks!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ryan_tripod:
I agree XXLA2 is great on yakju 4.0.2, I've been using it since flashing back from yakju 4.0.4.

The problem is every radio works fine for me on 4.0.2 but when I flash 4.0.4, no matter what radio I flash, the signal cuts out randomly. On 4.0.2 my phone has a constant signal and lasts 2-2.5 days on average, when I flash 4.0.4 I get the results shown in the attached images, regardless of radio.

I also tried switching some radio settings using *#*#4636#*#* after each radio started cutting out by default and all of them still cut out.

Do you happen to have a backup of the stock Vodafone rom?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] k3Ke:
apparently i was wrong,

after a couple of hours usage, XXLA2 got the same problem as XXKK6, significant signal drop, especially indoor, i couldn't even send a whatsapp message,

then flashed DVKK6, seems a bit better, but signal still not stable,

can't really find a perfect baseband for vodafone.

and i didn't back the stock rom, that comes with XXKK6

Has CM9 implemented Google's 4.0.4 code yet? I only started encountering unstable signal after updating to 4.0.4 yakju. I flashed back to 4.0.2 yakju and flashed XXLA2 and it's working perfect, so the radio is not at fault. As I said, I don't think 4.0.4 update and the Vodafone network are getting along nicely.

That should do the job I believe although it could have been samsung stock rom initially which has a slightly different version number.
