[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andrewsoong:
I came from a sgs2 and the gn is less responsive. It's a tad slower at everything from my experience but there's not much in it.

I'm on 4.0.2 still and the newer updates are meant to sort out some speed issues so I'll wait and see .

Haven't looked at benchmarks. I don't play games on my phone so no need to. Don't need to run a benchmark to see how quick twitter opens!

I got the gn for stock ics. Its leagues ahead of gingerbread, let alone Touchwiz, which I'm not a massive fan of.

Not used a Motorola before but it should come down to do you prefer Blur or stock, not what gets a few more points in a benchmark.

Unless you flash custom roms. But if you care about bleeding edge tech that much on Android you'll be disappointed every few months because that's how often a better spec'd phone comes out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
the size is pretty much perfect. it even feels smaller (or more narrow) in your hands than the s2 believe it or not. you don't hold the s2 in your hands like you hold a nexus. the s2 cannot rest because it was built without ballace and it's light as a feather, it is a slippery fish. in size both are extremely close anyway, we're talking millimeters.

the nexus is quite fast, i never had much lagging on stock and i have none on a custom rom. it's not as good as a s2 for gaming though, with 3d-games i experience some lagging, most games run fine though without. that and the missing sd card are some kind of a bugger. still i'd never consider going back, im loving the sleek and modern look and its interface (real ice cream sandwhich as it was conceived with quick-responding software buttons). the rom culture is great, too. the s2 is crippled in that aspect, samsung may have released the kernel-sources but to my knowledge many of their drivers are still not functioning. so you can choose between gingerbread, hellish samsung ics-fake hackjob, or ported ics-rom with alot of issues. on a nexus the bleeding edge is in the growth of its rom culture, who cares about googles ota's when you can have something like AOKP with almost weekly updates or CM9 with nighly updates, gummynex, cna, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] exb0:
I came to the GN from the sensation because I got bored of waiting for AOSP roms. (complete ones.)

Specs wise Sensation SHOULD be superior. but in my hands the GN feels much faster. I've tried benchmarking them both, sensation got higher marks, but the GN feels faster doing eveyrthing. pr0n streaming, gaming and texting.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
The atrix and gnex do NOT share the same gpu. They don't share much of any hardware. That being said depending on what the op wants both are capable phones. I would lean more on the GNex of course for lots of reasons. Also, both phones have great sound chips. I tend to favor the ti sound chip because it puts out cleaner bass for some reason and also the battery hit is substantially less on gnex. Otoh, the atrix has probably the best mono speaker out there. Plenty of volume and clarity and a little bass for how small the speaker is. The gnex also has a dedicated video chip which sips less battery than comparable phones. If reception is most important, the atrix wins hands down pulling down a signal and pulling down data in less optimal conditions.

Sent from my Nexus in Texas.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
Why does everyone who is looking to buy this phone need to start a new thread asking the same thing that had already been asked and answered in almost every other thread in the GN section.

If anyone is interested in getting this phone, take some time to read through the first couple of pages in this section. You will see everything you want to know about this phone had already been asked, answered, and beat to death. You will even find out things you won't want to know.

Not hating on the OP but people just need to read a little bit as there is so much info here already.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rubiconjp:
My friend has the Atrix. Pentile LCD implementation on that phone is horrible. Put both side by side and the decision will be made for you.

Pentile super AMOLED implementations on the Galaxy S and Nexus are beautiful.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KeithRVA:
I have a lot of graphics intensive games on my gnex, and they look amazing. No lag, super smooth, tons of detail. Especially games like Shine Runner, Dead Space, Riptide Gp, and Sprinkle. With its 4.65" display and hd rez, the gnex is awesome for gaming. Its as good or better than my old iphone 4S for gaming.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flukester69:
Having come from a Blackberry Bold 9000, this Nexus is freaking awesome. Even more awesome unlocked and rooted and customized to the n'th degree.

I should have tried thisbrom before switching to Ics sad to see you kept it from us. Used to be a gb fan. Because of. My motto you ain't fixing if it ain't broke.. Anyways I love your Ics custom rom..

If i flash this rom, will i be able to update via pc companion after?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] realCyphox:
i am so f*cking sick of trying custom roms, nearly every ics rom has problems with a lot of 3d games (**** you, google!!!!), some gb roms have problems with this and that and this and that and so on.

i really like this rom because of its slickness. but WHAT A SURPRIIIISE, of course there's an ugly thing too, i CANT BUY STUFF ON google play via my phone bill.

im so pissed off right now, i'm on the best way to hate android in a very special way. because i got my phone for about a month now and there was not a single rom that satisfied me in every single way / works more than a week without showing (big?) flaws.

i really understand those iphone-people now, "one OS for a few devices, everythings stable and so on".

thats just not possible with android. if you wanna go "beyond" stockrom and stockapps, it doesnt take too long and your F+CKED! happy reinstalling!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] geapfelt:
keyboard is not working for me, can please somebody help
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] truonglv:
this is best GB rom for me. very fast, smooth and good battery life:D.

Tks
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] yujin_11:
Well if you can afford to buy an iPhone then buy one, but you'll be bored by not having to customise it

I'm guessing you haven't tried the hybrid yet, look for JJdoctor
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Kieran1981:
I have tried every single rom for the Sony Xperia Ray, and this old Gingerbread rom from JJDoctor is by a long way the slickest one for the Ray. ICS is a bit slow for the Sony Ray with the hardware available understandably, but this gblite rom really flies, and you can easily make it look like ICS by downloading ADW launcher and then downloading the ICS theme for free.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] lokibg:
I tried it because of your post and I won't go back to ICS in a while. But I have problem with the keyboard. It force closes :(

p.s. lol I unchecked my native language and it worked :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Kieran1981:
Download a keyboard from google play, you can get ICS or stock gingerbread keyboards, most are free too.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] lokibg:
Yeah I figured it out but at first I couldn't enter into my profile therefore I couldn't use Google Play :)

p.s. which baseband should I use ? I think mobile data is not working :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Kieran1981:
I think they recommend baseband 58 but I am using the latest baseband 72, which seems to be the best upto now. The other basebands and even this one a little bit are awful to use as wifi hotspots, every so often there is a long pause where the mobile internet data connection refuses to do anything, I find it really frustrating.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] lokibg:
So the problems are mobile data and MTP everything else is perfect.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] lokibg:
data

Any advice on mobile data?

How to Flash Zip?

I've tried flashing the zip numerous times (via CWM using the 'install zip from SDcard' option) and my (Xperia Ray/GB 2.3.4/locked BL) phone keeps getting completely stuck at the 'Sony' part of the bootup sequence.. Can anyone help me out?

Would like to see this ROM in action.. :/
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] seamo123:
Hi JJ Doctor, I've tried flashing the zip numerous times (via CWM using the 'install zip from SDcard' option) and my (Xperia Ray/GB 2.3.4/locked BL) phone keeps getting completely stuck at the 'Sony' part of the bootup sequence.. Can you help me out?

Would like to see this ROM in action..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hartej:
If you haven't flashed the kernel via fastboot then you'll have to do this.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] seamo123:
Thanks for the reply. :) Yeah, I'm a bit confused about the kernel thing actually.. JJDoctor says at the top of this thread that the ROM works on locked BL's so surely the ROM works with the stock kernel - i.e. there's no need for me to flash the kernel via fastboot?

Would it even be possible for me to flash the kernel with a locked BL anyway? I wouldn't think so, though I might be wrong about that..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] -Jesco-:
Nope , Locked BL means stock kernel only .
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] seamo123:
Yeah, I thought as much.

So might JJDoctor have been mistaken when he said this ROM is usable with locked bootloaders? It'd definitely explain why it refuses to work on my phone..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] lokibg:
Keep in mind that there is stock GB and stock ICS kernel.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] seamo123:
Right, I'm getting confused now. Are you saying that the ROM should work on my phone then?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] lokibg:
Well you said that you are stuck on "Sony" part, on the old GB kernels its "Sony Ericsson". I never tried this rom on stock GB kernel but I think you need to downgrade to GB first and then flash the rom. Correct me if I'm wrong :)

P.S. Well I saw that you are already on 2.3.4 so I don't know then. Maybe you can install it through CWM backup I don't know :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] seamo123:
You mean 'restore' the zip file via CWM? The 'restore' option on CWM doesn't recognize zip files..

Anyone got any ideas? Is this ROM usable for locked BLs?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] lokibg:
I meant that someone can make a backup and upload it for you :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] seamo123:
Aha, now I get it! :) Trying to flash a backup that was saved on someone else's phone though.. mmm.. I dunno. Surely I'd get an 'MD5 error' if I tried that? Anyway, it's not a big deal, I've gone from stock ICS 4.0.4 to jjdoctor's 4.0.4 hybrid back to stock GB 2.3.4. and I'm quite happy with it - no lags and everything works!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] seamo123:
JJDoctor, are you 100% sure this ROM is supposed to work with locked BLs? I tried flashing via CWM and it sticks at the bootanimation every time.

Can you help me?

Patch for unlocked bootloader

Patch for unlocked bootloader.

For those who will still flash this ROM :)

Open ROM zip, go to META-INF/com/google/android and open updater-script.

Delete the following using notepad++:

format("MTD", "system");

Now you have to manually wipe system before flashing.

Flash ROM, then flash patch.

My suggestion is to flash complete stock rom .42 (I mean ftf file) root the phone using zergrush exploit And install cwm with SEextreme tweak installer, factory reset, wipe dalvik, format system and then flash the Rom, hope it helps :)

:fingers-crossed:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iONEx:
This ROM formats /system during install, so you loose CWM since it doesn't have CWM in it.

I attached a flashable zip containing CWM for locked bl in my previous post.

But first you have to remove format("MTD", "system"); in updater script.

Because this, locked bootloader CWM f**** up the system partition if you format it from updater-script. So you need to format it from CWM mount&storage
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] leungalv:
Thanks, I'll have a look into the next time I'm flashing a ROM ... i'm going to play around with the one that's on there now :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] miguelmaldonado:
But you can easily install cwm with xparts from google play.. I suggested using extreme tweak installer because it's what worked for me..

i got my note last week and have playing with it and loved it...i previously have s2 but since i saw note in the mall...i have fallen in love with it

but somethings bothering me..

before i take a pic ...it was clear perhaps hd but after taking the picture and

i look the the gallery ... the pictue look maybe a little dark...or dim

maybe a setting will fix this ?

and lag in waking up? about 2-3 ?

thx for the help pips :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyanv:
I think this is the nature of this camera. When we try shoot a pic the visual which we see in display is before image processing after click image sensor do some modification to the image and it delivers to gallery. So probably this is not a defect or problem... its designed like that..and i don't think samsung phones are known for good quality shooter. No offense.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usoppp:
are you using the stock camera? i have noticed that other camera apps works much better compared to the stock one, my favorite is camera zoom fx, paid app though, for me it gives better pictures compared to the stock one. there are plenty of good free ones out there too. have a look around the play store =]
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ejoya:
It's a brightness difference. When you load the stock camera the phone brightness goes really high (you can even make it brighter by switching outdoor visibility on). After taking a picture and going to gallery, you're screen goes back to original brightness that's why it looks dim/blurred but it's not.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyanv:
You are right.. Stock camera app is little bad.. Evn though if we are using another good app finally lens and image sensor matters.. I don't think samy is using better lens than Carl zies or something. I would say samy and HTC are little poor compared to nokia's and son's lens (of thinking they both use same lenses). This is upto my knowledge.. Correct me if am wrong.

something different really...all android os have the same layout pretty much and I would like to see more voice command. example: you tell the phone what you want to do and it will be done. you control the whole phone with your voice instead of your fingers, phone does all the work while you tell it what to do.

I loved the Samsung Galaxy S on 2.2... The functions such as media buttons in the lock screen and drag down menu... as well as the wifi, bt, etc built into the drag down menu. And it was always quick for me.. No lag..

But it needs to be custom, the ability to easily run back to your stock rom, and then back to the custom rom on start up? Such as a computer when you run windows then ubuntu?

ummm the FIRST release will be a CM base but I will be working on a stock build so that I can add everything I want without having to dig through CM's source code and plug in my stuff. But this is a release that really wont see the light of day until the summer, the CM one will maybe be sooner but ACT testing is coming soon aaannnd school takes priority as always.
