Search QB Kings Videos for Unlock Galaxy Nexus - he has another one for How to Root Galaxy Nexus - it is officialy for the Verizon version but it works - search You Tube for QB King and then go thru his videos - that is what I did and it worked for me.

Good Luck.

Are you a cop? If so, that's great!

:thumbup: The law is if you a in an establishment/business... I don't walk around taking in Walmart taking pictures of people or anything.. Lol. I only use my camera on my phone on a very rare occasion and in a room taking pictures with family. Not worried about going to jail for that. Lol. I live in the South. We don't have laws like that that I'm aware of, If we do I'll live. :D

I was reading up on the Otterbox Defender series - some of the reviews said the 'screen protector" it comes with gets scratchy and "oily" to quote their words - have you used this on other phones before? Any issues with teh built in screen protector?

Any idea if this is "MTD" or 'BML" or do I even need to worry about that on the Nexus?

I am coming from an EPIC 4G - and some ROMS were done in MTD which made switching back to Stock Difficult-

Is this an issue with Galaxy Nexus?

I am rooted so I renamed the 3 OGG files mentioned in this post via Root Explorer ..

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24521428&postcount=2

That thread mentioned another app but I couldn't find it in the Market. Renaming those 3 files was a quick and simple solution.

---------- Post added at 09:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:59 PM ----------

I tried the Voicemail only option (instead of full Google Voice integration) in Google Voice settings through the webpage settings. It forces all voicemail to one greeting. So I can't have one greeting for my business line (Google Voice #) and have another greeting for my personal line (Sprint Cell #).

However, I did notice that it will display voicemails in the call log with the ability to play the messages from the call log. With all this messing about I didn't have that but after trying Google Voice voicemail only integration and then disabling it with the code provided it seems to work from the call log now at least. I still prefer Sprint VVM, hopefully there will be a newer APK that will work in the near future.

Here's a review of the otter box defender case for our Gnex... www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmT9MY6BJym I had Ballistic case on my E4GT... Idk about this case.. Doesn't look like it fits real good. Great review of this case!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qbking77:
No need to worry about that!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cheddaface:
Did u rename the hole file or did u just add. Bak?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swedub:
I just added .bak to the end of the filename, like this ...

audiofile.ogg.bak

Though I'm sure you could rename them whatever you want. You could probably delete them too. But renaming them like above should allow you easily to revert back if necessary.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cheddaface:
Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CruzECO13:
I have the defender on my epic4gtouch as well. Im a mechanic in the military and im always using my phone with greasy and oily hands. you'll get smears on the screen protector from constant use but nothing that you cant wipe off with your shirt or piece of soft cloth. its a really great case. I love the defender series =]

I can't get TWRP to install through CWM, nor can I get CWM Touch to install. Is this a problem with my recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cheddaface:
Worked perfectly
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ascertion:
I'm about to flash this cuz Idk what it is. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Twrp won't flash through cwm. You have to install it through platform tools/fastboot from pc.. Qbking77 has video on how to install Android sdk and how to root Galaxy Nexus... Once you have sdk installed and proper drivers you can push twrp .img to your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Anon9mouz:
Ima wait for a one click to root when something is actually made for our phone plus it gives me time to work on this miuiv4 port for the GNEX

Thanks QB - and by the way, thanks for the videos you did for Rooting/Unlocking the Nexus - it was the version you did for Verizon but it worked perfectly - once I got past some 'stupid things" I did all on my own.

Thanks again- no matter how long I have been around - not that long really - and how much I think I know - your videos always are extremly helpful. Thanks again!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mocsab:
I found a Flashbable Version of TWRP on the Developers web site - I don't have the URL but I GOOGLED them - they indicated that you should be able to flash this right over CWM - I haven't done it yet - but was planning on trying - they have another file for download that you can push using the option you described - so I am not sure if this person was attempting to flash the wrong file or what?

Restore using my nandroids and also go back to stock recovery if you need to!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] .Bedo:
I agree with this. After leaving froyo, ICS is great. My only concern is battery life. If I find myself needing longer run time I'll probably look at a new kernel for undervolting. I unlocked my phone right when I got it though so I shouldn't need to wipe anything if I go that route.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ranmasaotome510:
im assuming this is the stock sprint rom?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Yesterday I tried to flash twrp zip through cwm 3 times and it didn't work. So I pushed it with fastboot.. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ascertion:
Did it permanently stick? When I fastbooted CWM, it went away until I flashed it via ROM Manager.

I've made a ROM but I'm not gonna share anything until a safer way to root is found and factory images to restore back to from Google or Sammy is posted.

Mine didn't go away.. I flashed cwm via fastboot, then soon after flashed cwm touch through rom manager. Then I wanted to know what everyone was saying about twrp so I fastbooted it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tommy1121:
What I do is fast boot the recovery. It works perfectly. Rename the recovery as; recovery.img

Then add it to the location that adb and fastboot are located on your computer. Then hold shift and right click then click on run command windows from this location, its usually the 3rd option. Then type: fastboot boot recovery.img (while in fastboot) and it will push then boot recovery and allow full control. Always back your stock from b4 flashing any custom builds.

Any else out there using the sprint nba mobile app and forced to download the non sprint version because it says my phone isnt a sprint device?

Also in ics, is there a lockscreen mod that will let me simultaneously use a pin or pattern lock as well as the slide lock? I love the ability to get to the camera from the lock screen but lose that function when i add pattern or pin or even face unlock. I know gingerbread allows this...is there a ics mod?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] droidsrus:
Yeah I was a victim of the NBA app too. Wouldn't let me get the sprint one. It says I have a non sprint device. That's some BS!

I got a funny feeling that just didn't have that many for the release. I mean corp. Sprint store were only carrying a couple of them per store and or max of 10 phones. This has got to be the worst release by Sprint yet?

I think you've gotta speak with retentions or something. I called the general number and the rep had no idea what I was talking about and put me on hold 3 or 4 times before finally transferring me to another department who actually knew what I was asking about. Sorry, I didn't catch which department it actually was. Just keep in mind that many customer service reps when they don't know something will just tell you that it's not possible or doesn't exist. Be persistent if you have to.

Its simple. Google says unsupported device on rooted phones to cover their ass due to security concerns.

It still works fine, you just have less ability to complain if it screws up. Consider it more of a warning, because the app works. Just don't set it up before you unlock the device, or you have to jump through some hoops.

Rooting did not cause this issue, not removing a card or resetting google wallet before oem unlock which reset my phone is what caused this so I caution others before doing so. Please remove your card and google wallet from phone before doing a factory reset.
