[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ac3theone:
I actually came from the gs2 and I haven't looked back since. This phone is a boss lol. The screen is actually beautiful and it's crazy fast. The amount of roms and mods for this phone is ridiculous. If its stock vanilla android you want then definitely get the Galaxy Nexus. Took me 3 phones for me to realize that I wanted this phone all along. Plus we will always get the updated first with latest versions of android.

The screen isn't easy to scratch. Don't think that just because the gs2 has gorilla glass that it's strong because it isn't. Look it up

The build quality is pretty good Imo this is the best phone ever. It's super easy to root and unlock.

Agreed, I have had my Sprint Gnex almost as long as my E4GT (Sprint version of GS2) and while I baby all my phones, the Nexus screen is still scratch-free while the GS2 had some hairline scratches. Don't even know how I got them as I keep my phone in my left front pocket all by itself. Luckily, I was able to buy my Nexus for more than what I sold the GS2 for. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fire n mage:
Had a s1, played with an s2, own a gnex now. I say get the gnex and don't look back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zantiszar:
You can check and the galaxy nexus also has gorilla glass on the display and its quite an awesome phone plus you aren't carrier restricted like a GSII
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tgyberg:
9 months with my phone all naked and not a mark on it anywhere. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blackplague1347:
Both screens are nice. The GNex's is more crisp. It seems larger than it is due to the on-screen buttons. Factor them in, and the screen isn't much bigger than the 4.3" on the GS2.

At this point in its life cycle, I see little reason to opt for the GS2 over the Galaxy Nexus. I had the AT&T GS2 for a while and it was indeed excellent. Whether you buy the international version or a carrier-branded one, you'll almost certainly have a strong development community. Regardless of which phone you get, I would put a screen protector of some variety on it. I have one on my GNex and one on my HTC One X. The One X has gorilla glass and it managed to get a few tiny, almost invisible scratches on it before I could get a protector on it. The GNex doesn't have gorilla glass, so it's entirely possible that it would scratch just as easily, if not more so.

Build quality is basically the same, as far as I can tell. Neither will probably break from a fall or two (unless it lands on the corner), but neither feel especially sturdy because of the plastic they're made from. Regardless of what you choose, grab a thin case (or a bumper to absorb corner impact) and a screen protector.

You can't go wrong either way, but I would recommend the Galaxy Nexus (from the Play Store, preferably). It's slightly more powerful and, even though the GS2 isn't lacking for development, the development community here is quite large and will likely remain so for quite some time. Plus, you'll be among the first to get OS updates.

The community here is great, also. (For the AT&T version at least) The forums for the GS2 are noticeably less pleasant, although there are some great devs there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thegtfusion:
Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nktje:
That's an easy call. Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
The screen is far from fragile in my experience. I have my gnex since december 2011, don't use a screen protector and carry it around in my pocket all day. Not a scratch on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tarekh020:
Its all Clear now

Wow , what a great great help , support and opinions that made me decided already for your impressive responses

Its an honor to join such a great community

I ordered Nexus :victory: today and will receive it in the Thursday

Thank you Thank You thank you for your amazing reply and experiance that cleared my cloudy decision :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] F_T_B:
The Galaxy Nexus was and still is the best choice. You'll be in love with it from first day and then some after installing a few custom ROMs. Just make sure it doesn't turn into addiction...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tarekh020:
I think im buying it cause im already addicted and obsessed with custom rom installation , Its the king of custom roms
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blackplague1347:
I'm beginning to think this is the case. I bought a One X a couple weeks ago yet I still find myself switching back to my GNex from time to time. I can't decide which one to keep and which to sell. The HOX is unrootable (last I checked, anyway), so it's CM10 vs stock Sense 4.0 with ICS. The HOX hardware is ridiculous and I love the camera, but the software on the GNex just keeps bringing me back. First world problems, I know, but still. It's stupid to keep two phones around and hop back and forth every two days. Have fun with yours, OP. You won't regret it.
[Nexus 7 General] buggatti:
When i used the nexus 7 first i was sad that the screen isn't vibrant as the competition. They got everything right but the main thing wrong. Today i realized that they didnt get the screen wrong

I has a book for college in a pdf format. I decided to read it on the my cousins ipad 3 rather than my laptop thinking it will be cool bexause of the "RETINA" display. I read for 5 minutes then stopped. If i would have have carried on i would have gone blind. Then i thought hmmm let do in in the nexus. Reading book on laptop is pointless and boy was i amazed.

The screen was amazing for the book and didnt hurt my eyes at all and from now i am a Perfectly satisfied Nexus 7 Customer.

Google... You are Awesome
[Nexus 7 General] Ravynmagi:
I read all the time on my iPad 3 and my eyes never hurt. Not sure how better calibrated colors are causing you problems reading PDF files.
[Nexus 7 General] JaSauders:
I never really saw much of a huge difference between the vibrance of displays with the n7 vs other tablets... And this is coming from someone who's gets yearly for blindness tests. Glad to hear it works for you though!
[Nexus 7 General] GiantJay:
I don't have much of a comparison to the ipad other then I know this is easier to hold, but I do know I read know more now than ever before in my life because of this thing. It's just so easy and comfortable.
[Nexus 7 General] Element515:
Did you try changing the brightness of the ipad at all? I've read plenty on my ipad and never had a problem. The nexus has a good display but it does lacks little in contrast and colors. But it's good enough for what I use it for.
[Nexus 7 General] Saturny:
I agree. My big brother & his wife has a Ipad 1 (mom & me got for wife's bday), which I sometimes use when at their house. That thing is a PAIN. I much prefer my Nexus 7, much better to use and hold in hand. Now my big b uses my Nexus EVERYTIME I'm at his house. :D

Poor Ipad :p
[Nexus 7 General] toidimaet:
I have used both and have no problems with either device. Was a tough decision to buy the nexus after using my friends ipad 3. In the end it came down to portability and price. I can fit my nexus in my big coat pocket and head off to Uni. Its great

[Nexus 7 General] xvitality:
Its not a bad screen but my one x does put it to shame!
[Nexus 7 General] surprise123:
N7 screen is great ，but Ipad 2 better than N7 .
[Nexus 7 General] SeaFractor:
Here's what many professional analysis results found regarding the Nexus 7.

The display "hardware" is exceptional!!! There is no debate there.

But the firmware display calibration is "lousy" and thus impacts the display negatively for those that are wanting a much better color match. So if Google fixed this in a future update, then the display would move to the forefront of the 7" pack.

Here's hoping that an update results the calibration issues and pushes this display to the top of the 7" pack.
[Nexus 7 General] alkemist80:
I have a KFHD7 and N7 in hand right now. Side by side, they are almost comparable. The N7 auto brightness is very aggressive and keeps the screen very dimmed. If you adjust your own brightness, the colors on the N7 will come through, however the KFHD has more contrast creating slightly more vibrant colors and deeper blacks. Something like that could be fixed with color calibration software. I'm honestly liking the N7 over the KFHD. Yes, the KFHD has better colors and definitely better sound, but I like the size and thinness of the N7. Feels much lighter and less bulky.
[HTC One X] santoshrane:
Hello,

After buying the htc one x I noticed the task icon in apps. I went there and set my hotmail account and added a task.

Does anyone know where does this task go? Cause I've gone to my outlook in pc and it dosent show there.

I've got Activesync as my default, so I have contacts, calendar set ...and use remember the milk app for tasks..but I'm paying for it..

Does any one know how the stock task app work and how it syncs..any one tried ?

[Eee Pad Transformer General] flyinbrian2229:
So one day my TF101's touchscreen just became unresponsive. No matter what I try, I cannot get any kind of response from the touchscreen. However the track pad still manages to work. Any thoughts or ideas on how to fix this problem, or is anyone having a similar problem? I am currently running the latest Revolver Rom and a stock kernel. There is also no physical damage to the tablet that would lead me to believe that it is a hardware issue.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] scottyf79:
Have you tried a reboot?

Recalibrate the touch screen with an app?

Factory reset?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] flyinbrian2229:
I have tried a factory reset which affected nothing, Also no apps have let me re calibrate the touchscreen, the touchscreen is just pretty much dead.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] shanegru:
try this

wipe cash and restart.. had this happen b4 to me.. i guess like a computer it needs to reboot a couple times to get the drivers seen.. good luck

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] stuartv:
I'm just using a PDF of staff paper, which I load into Lecture Notes and then write on top of. Doesn't do playback or MIDI export or anything. But, I can write any kind of score and use any kinds of notes (durations), time signatures, etc., that I want... :D
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Justinchi:
Cool. Music notepad is pretty easy and cool
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] stuartv:
Both of those that you posted look like you can only see a few bars or one line at a time. That would bug the heck out of me.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Jonphinguyen7:
I might start using LectureNotes, but for now I use the preloaded Music Staff background on the S-note app.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Justinchi:
Yea, an unfortunate pitfall...There's also an app being developed called Symphony Pen which recognizes handwritten music notation. Totally wish they would at least release a beta >.<
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Justinchi:
Your link is bugged. The staff paper background works but it's so phony, lol. I hope Samsung integrates Notation recognition in the JB update. *crosses fingers and toes*
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Jonphinguyen7:
*Link Fixed*

The music staff is pretty terrible, but I'll take what I can get lol. Here's to hopeful integration. :good: :good: :good:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Justinchi:
Yea, have you seen the demoes of "Symphony Pen" on YouTube? Some1 is developing a handwritten music notation app for the Note.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] rocketail:
Excuse me sir, but how did you load a PDF of staff paper into LectureNotes?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@rocketail: LectureNotes allows to set an image as paper background. If you have a PDF file and wish to set that as background, you need to convert it to an image (PNG or JPEG) first.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] oroboros74:
NotateMe (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.neuratron.notateme) also seems wondeful, although pricey.

I remember seeing SymphonyPen, which was buggy, but can't find it anymore.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dmonger11b:
About two weeks ago my SDcard kept coming up as damaged/corrupted in my e4gt and in my evo 4g so I figured I was sol and formatted it. Now there's nothing saved to it except the normal stuff that's saved when formatted via android. But now I was trying to move a large file to the SD card both rom toolbox and root browser freeze after about 300ish MB and my phone restarts. I tried just straight moving the file, copying it and zipping it and no matter what it locks up and restarts. I tried just redownloading the file onto the SD card directly with the same end result it locks up and restarts. Anyone know what could be causing this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] borkan:
Maybe you SD card is damaged or corrupted still? If it is trying to write to a corrupted sector that would explain the crashes, and a mere format isn't going to fix corrupted sectors.

As to how to fix our even test for corrupted sectors on a ssd I am at a loss.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rsngfrce:
Have you tried checking it on your computer with Scandisk? Might find something, though I had a card that was giving me random problems (disappearing apps, phone saying card was damaged) even after Scandisk said it was okay, no problems after using a new card.

Be careful about ever letting Scandisk RESTORE damaged files because you will likely end up with a bunch of useless CHK files (been there...).

How do I check version of BL (assumed to be boot loader)?

Thanks
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
Its not just the boot loader that is needed it is the expanded system partition that is also. Your best bet is to NVFlash the package in the OP. Not only will it set your device into the 1.2bl but it will expand your system partition so it can load the updated firmware.
[G Tablet Android Development] z00mantwo:
So who's tried this out and how did it work?
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
FYI If it doesn't run right I don't launch it. I am currently running it on my personal G-tablet and it is nothing but butta.

On another note, things seam really big.. Can we resize this?

i get stuck in bootloop on the 3 birds screen.

anyone else facing the same problem?
[G Tablet Android Development] Randy Power:
I can't believe it's butter

No issues here. It worked perfectly the first time. I had already nvflashed the linked file, so I re-formatted the internal sdcard per the instructions then flashed the ROM.

nobe1976, you are a magician. THANK YOU.

My tablet performs very well now, with an occasional hiccup. It sometimes becomes unresponsive temporarily when I'm doing a lot. For example, from the Play Store, I had about 5 apps queued up to download/install. While that was going, it would go unresponsive for sometimes 10-15 seconds.
[G Tablet Android Development] tsukaza:
Do you have one of those tablet that refuse to boot up ICS or JB on BL 1.2?

---------- Post added at 06:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:06 PM ----------

Use root explorer or similar app and change the lcd density in /system/build.prop from 160 to 120 and reboot.
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
To resize just open ES Explorer and give it Root permmisions and change in the build.prop the ro.sf.lcd_density=160 to 120 then reboot. No need to add Root Explore when ES will do everything and more without adds.

Updated OP with a 120 density version.
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
Are you absolutely certain that you are on BL 1.2 with a system partition of 250m. I would like to try to get everyone on board with this let me know and I will see what I can do to assist.

Reboot it will only get better. :D
[G Tablet Android Development] dsrhokie:
All I can say is WOW! Fantastic ROM. The only hiccup I had was that I got an "unable to reach server" error in Google Play. I did the old market fix from the froyo days and that did the trick. Thanks much.

Thanks. Problem solved
[G Tablet Android Development] junooni:
I keep getting stuck on the 3 birds loop. the 3 birds appear, then the screen goes blank for a couple of seconds and then the birds reappear. this happens a couple of times then it gets stuck on the birds.

i had the same issue on all ICS roms as well. Flashback HC rom works flawless every time so i have to revert back to it.

Please suggest a solution. i'd love to try out JB on my tab.
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
Give me the day and I will pm you with something to try out that has gotten me out of a jam a time or two. Have work today and won't have any computer time till later this afternoon.

Possible Bug Report: On my tab, the sound will not switch to my BT headphones. They paired correctly, and I have performed multiple iterations of rebooting, switching BT on/off, etc...no success thus far.

Any help or suggestions are appreciated. Otherwise, this is a thing of beauty.
[G Tablet Android Development] dnlnnhs:
If this is based on the Team DRH Dirty Bean - it doesn't work there either. Last time I saw this issue was when the "phone" apps were not installed as part of the selected apps on ICS - it pairs but no BT audio.

[G Tablet Android Development] bob_frapples:
Sorry. Trying to figure this out.

Installed ROM without NVFlash and was super laggy.

Followed directions and ran NVFlash, then reinstalled, cleared cache and dalvik

Started it up and all my apps were still there (I thought NVFlash formatted)

Also, it is still super laggy - nearly unusable.

Not sure what I am doing wrong since everyone loves this ROM - I want to love it also!

Thanks for all your work everyone.

What should I do?
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
NVflash does formats but it rebuilds the partitions with stock information. The one thing it doesn't do is a data wipe. So if you want to enjoy it like everyone else re-read the OP and follow the installation instructions. :rolleyes:
[G Tablet Android Development] tnkclark:
I am seeing similar issues. When everything slows to a crawl, both CPUs are at 100%. About the only thing I can do at that point is leave it alone until the CPU utilization drops back. to normal. It seems like some system task is taking all of both CPUs. Maybe memory management since we're RAM constrained?
[G Tablet Android Development] dp917:
Had a weird one last night. I was playing a game, set the tablet down, got a notification and before the ringtone finished the low battery alert went off. When I looked back at the tablet it read 0% and was shutting down. The tablet was at 50+% when I had set it down. I was able to turn it back on and it read the 50+% again.
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
Thats just a typical kernel panic. No need to worry. Working on a fix within the ROM to cure it.
[G Tablet Android Development] dp917:
Thanks for the heads up. Since I was able to turn it right back on I wasn't too worried, just thought I'd mention it.
[G Tablet Android Development] herculese1:
remove flash

Go to settings and then applications and find flash 11. uninstall it. after doing this my gtablet started to run smooth. You wll still be abe to play flash so im not sure why this application is in this rom in the first place. if it is just going to cause these slowdowns it shouldnt even be there. anyway my gtab has been running alot smoother for about a week now since i did this.
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
Yeah the app pack I added was from the ICS build. Sorry about that, I deleted it out of the upcoming release.
[G Tablet Android Development] lartomar2002:
So, which version is getting most of your attention nowa days? Smooth Bean or Black Jelly Bean? And am I correct in saying Smooth Bean is the most stable at this time?
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
For my testing I am using Black Jellybean. Since the only differences is the framework theme I will apply the tweaks to Smooth and see if they will hold up to the same standards. Yes I do agree that Smooth currently is the most stable one out there, but after I am done both would hold up the same.
[G Tablet Android Development] lartomar2002:
Well, I am on BJB and and so far no big issues. When I take it off the dock the cpu max's out at first but after about 20 sec or so it settles down.. I also have made some adjustments using System Tuner Pro.
[G Tablet Android Development] rohitlepa:

I had not used my tab for literally months now. Was thinking about selling it, so logged on here to see what can be put on it. Came across this rom and MAN is this smooth. Not sure I want to sell it now:D
