Well... I would suggest Galaxy Nexus.

Reason: already 2 years old nexus S won't stand for long. So at least posses something which wont out date so soon.

[Nexus S General] imbehind:
For me, its really the matter of screen size. Nexus S is the best pure Android 4 inch device, and Galaxy Nexus is the best pure Android 4,7 inch device.

I want pure Android so, since 4,7 is too big for me, GN dual core is irrelevant in my book. I have Nexus S for a year, and im happy...

Otherwise, the best phone I would choose is Motorola Defy+ - 3,5 inch screen, waterproof, scratch proof, dust proof, ...
[Nexus S General] Android-Junky:
For 200$ It's a great phone.I've used dozens of Android Phones but honestly after getting Nexus Phone I would never go buy non-nexus phone.It is so easy to root and flash this phone.Besides, there are tons of developers for this phone.If you like to flash different roms and have a true rich android experience then nothing beats Nexus Phone.You can't go wrong with a Nexus Series Phone.
[Nexus S General] jh1997sa:
Even though this phone doesn't have the best specs around, the community is the best and there is MORE than enough ROMs to choose from.

I'd recommend this phone if you're into trying new ROMs and trying to tweak the phone to the max!

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] aletheus:
Would anyone like to participate in a discussion on what capabilities sAMOLED+ affords this tablet? I noticed from my other thread that several photographers use this a view finder for their HDRi cameras--which fascinates me. Here's what BLOWS MY MIND about this deisplay: contrast ratio and color gamut.

I want to explore the notion of reproducing colors available to vision, but not to painting or print. Basically this thing can emulate light, color and shadow like NOTHING else in the world...(aside from other devices sporting AMOLED and OLED displays.) And, unlike its smaller bretheren, is large enough to be hung on a wall, and almost as expensive as a archival canvas/paints/solvents/brushes/finished product painting...

Has anyone taken a jeweler's magnifying glass to this display yet???
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itm:
Has anyone else got a problem with Apex Launcher Pro being very slow to redraw the homescreen after exiting an app on the S3? It's my preferred launcher mainly because of the swipe gestures, folder management and ability to backup settings and screen layouts, so I don't really want to revert to TouchWiz.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biketom:
Same here, it's also my prefered launcher (I currently use it with my S3) and I can confirm it takes for seconds (somtimes) after it reacts to a Homebutton press... I read in a different forum that the Apex Launcher is not perfectly adaped to the S3; I saw serveral updates since the last three weeks that I have the phone, but none solves these issues.

Tried all the launchers, Nova is by far the smoothest. With Nova, I notice that it goes to "Cached Apps" instead of staying active when I check under "Running Applications." And, it's got a tiny footprint to begin with.

I do miss some of the options under Go Launcher Ex, but it's just gotten out of control and has become a memory hog with its ridiculous features (ie, picture thumbnails in your app drawer). Give Nova a try!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itm:

[Thinkpad Tablet General] jhankinson:
A lot of people seem to have the same broken files so I figured I would post a few here. These are all from a US 32GB TpT on OTA2.5 but should work for any US TpT:

Original generic.kl

Original wpa_supplicant

Original gps.conf

Original busybox

My US OTA2 clean nandroid backup (not completely clean, you will need to replace Generic.kl and wpa_supplicant with the files provided above) If you are totally screwed up you can restore this in CWR, replace the two files mentioned, and then proceed to update normally (OTA2.5 then ICS). For US Tablets only!!!

A bunch of system files (I think this was copied when I was still on OTA1 but maybe some files will still be useful if they weren't patched).

The update.zip I flashed to restore stock recovery before updating to ICS. Use at your own risk, it has only been tested once by me. This should not be necessary but may help if you are getting the indigo failure message as I got that message in CWR but not with stock recovery.

Don't change any system files in ICS until someone gets CWR working: if you break your system without CWR you're gonna have a bad time.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] bigsnack:
I think you should mention which location each file is located at.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Blanco954:
I agree. I need to try this method but need help with the locations of the files that need to be streamlined into the nandroid backup provided.

Hope someone could help out.

Update:

1. Replace generic.kl @ this location: /system/usr/keylayout/

2. Replace wpa_supplicant @ this location: /system/bin/
[Thinkpad Tablet General] yahoowizard:
Getting some MD5 mismatch when I try to restore your backup x.x
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Blanco954:
Redownload the file. I restored from the nandroid backup posted without MD5 chechsum error. Sometimes files get corrupt while downloading.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] yahoowizard:
Nope, happening again x.x
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Blanco954:
I've seen this happen before on different Android phones I owned that had CWR installed. I could not restore my backup due to MD5 checksum mismatch. It might be attributed to the version of CWR you have and the version used to create it.

What exactly is happening in your case? I didn't necessarily had to load this restore, the only problem with my upgrade was the "Indigo" error. I went thus route cause I was anxious and didn't research my problem. Need to practice some more self control before I hose my TPT. Maybe we can pitch in and help you figure something out.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] yahoowizard:
E: failed to verify whole-file signature

E: signature verification failed

Then it aborts. It's not as specific as busybox or Indigo or any of the other errors people have been getting, so not sure what I'm supposed to be fixing.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Blanco954:
I assume your attempting to install the OTA that was downloaded to the tablet. I am not an expert but this error your getting is due to not having the stock recovery installed. There's a post on this forum where you can download the Lenovo ICS update files. Make sure you are stock with bloat. Download that pair of files and place them on the root of your SD card.. If you made a nandroid backup of stock OS when you rooted your tablet restore that backup. Temp unroot with OTA rootkeeper. Reboot to recovery and choose to install the update from SD card via CWR. Make sure its the large file first. You might get an assert check error "Indigo" if so you will need to restore the stock recovery using the file GodfatherIP linked in OP. Once you have restored stock recovery the update should install without a problem and you can enjoy ICS on TPT. It is way better than broken GB.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] seamonkey420:
i have just restored your nandroid and also put hte two files you mentioned in place (Original generic.kl and Original wpa_supplicant). i am using a 64GB USA TPT too. i plan to make an updated nandroid before i try ota 2 and then ics and if all goes well, i'll post the updated nandroid in this thread. :)

update1:

after doing the above, i then:

-restored the stock recovery after your nandroid, rebooted twice still on cwr recovery

-did not seem to work at first however i then reran an custom update.zip for 0089US_CWR

-did a check for updates and noticed it went to the stock recovery update

-now am updating to ics!! :) hopefully that will go through smoothly.

update2:

-getting busybox assert error, putting busybox file in play next. used voodoo rootkeeper to make backup to keep root on ics too. temp unrooted, trying update again. :fingers-crossed:

update3:

ICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i'll post nandroid later today and can confirm these files combined w/a cwr update to 0089 got me out of my failed update funk. thanks again all!

My Contribution/Files:

note: i have a 64GB USA TPT (1839-27U). was running CWR and was rooted.

-USA, OTA2 Nandroid w/Original generic.kl and Original wpa_supplicant in place. You will still need to add back the busybox file after you update to 0089

nandroid zip

-0089 CWR update zip (not made by me, found somewhere on xda)

cwr update zip
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Blanco954:
Excellent post. Thanks for your contribution, these files will come in handy for other members that are in a pinch.

Is there a version for 16gb US models, because I am getting MD5 mismatch.

For anyone who has had the Clockwork-mod Recovery MD5 mismatch! error.

Update: thanks Exca

If you have androids SDK ( ADB installed) try this easer method by Exca

This is a much easier way:

adb shell

# cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2010-06-29.20.22.53

# rm nandroid.md5

# md5sum *img > nandroid.md5

usually does the trick

Two points.

BUMP

Bringing this back because I'm having same problem. Dropped it in the sink but quickly took it out. Everything works perfect. Phone charges fine. The problem is it does not want to connect as Mass Storage anymore. I've tried three different roms and all the same thing. I just bought a charger usb port from eBay for about $5. I'm guessing that the problem. My question is, is it soldered? Can't really tell. Advice would be appreciated.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] treefrog321:
I know this is from a long time ago, but did you solve this? I'm having the exact same problem.

My phone got wet in a downpour. I thought I had it dried out because it initially wouldn't charge, but after leaving it in a bag with silica packets overnight the charging ability was restored. A couple days later I realized that any other usb functions didn't work. I cleaned out the port with WD40 as was recommended elsewhere to help eliminate moisture and remove some corrosion - mass storage still won't work and can't use Odin. I have tried multiple cables, multiple USB ports, different computers, reinstalled drivers. I'm sure none of these options worked because it is a problem with the micro-USB port on the phone.

Thanks!

I was wondering if it's possible to combine the awesome customization ability of AOKP/AOSP with Sammy apps like AllShare. If not, is there an alternative?

With AllShare Cast coming out in the future, I'm trying to figure out the best way for us to share with each other.
