[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cablemike01:
Yesterday I almost traded a guy for a galaxy s3, but I played with them side by side an honestly found the galaxy nexus snappier and apps worked better. There are faster phones out there in benchmark scores and gaming but for day to day use I still find the gnex the smoothest and most consistent experience. BTW the guy wasn't surprised I didn't trade because he uses his dads gnex and realised it just works better without all the bloat that the gs3 has. My phone also runs better then my wife's optimus 4x for everything but gaming. Only phone that will replace my gnex is a newer nexus device. Is it just me or did the camera become really good after 4.2?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poexone:
Some good feedback here...

Glad to know the community is still strong for the Gnex since I just purchased one yesterday for $250.

Also, where is your source that says that American stock for the N4 will be refreshed on the 20th?

I personally got tired of waiting and that is the reason I got the Gnex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gnivol:
GNEX is a good phone but its been in market for a year now, who knows wut would happen next year

when nexus 4 get good stock, many ppl may move to nexus 4 and leaving gnex less and less popular, its life maybe in question next year

but gnex still going healthy this year, imo, it depends on how long u want to use the phone for
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voyager_s:
Well I've had the GNEX for about 5 months now. Got rid of my galaxy note for it. Couldn't be happier really. Its excellent.

Fast, fluid and just works brilliantly. Its a nexus device so future updates should be relatively quick also. The screen is gorgeous and the design is extremely sexxxy with those fabulous curves. :) Jesus...it sounds like I'm describing a woman!

Anyway. In terms of performance, its still up there. Yes there are tons of new handsets with quad core SOC but the dual CPU performs wonderfully as it is.

Unless you are a hardcore gamer then I doubt you're really going to need an extra couple of cores or newer GPU.

Even then, when it comes to graphical performance, I have to say that I have not yet found any game that the handset cannot run from the play store.

Got a few of the latest titles such as Nova 3, needs for speed: most wanted, dead trigger and others. All run excellently.

I can only highly recommend the GNEX.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zurko:
100% agree!

Why dont u go for galaxy note 1. It also has great dev on it and will cost u almost the same as gnex.

I am just recommending because u want a good screen and custom dev.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rishi_storm:
Thanks for all the help guys . Current online rumors on nexus 4 avail: http://www.gottabemobile.com/2013/01/17/nexus-4-sales-should-resume-in-february/

So i might be able to buy a friend's used Galaxy nexus for around 190$ ( around 12k INR ) which is in very good condition. It should suffice for now or i might end up going for the xperia TX or xperia V.

Thanks a lot again, :good:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] androidkid311:
Nope. Wait for nexus 4 or new nexus :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] madd0g:
That's an excellent price for the tech you get. N4 doesn't offer much more for the price difference (8mpix which makes grainy photos, glass back) + you have to suck dicks apparently to get one. If you're into gaming and wanted a N4 because of the HW, I'd get a second hand N7 for the rest of the money (your GN offer + 2nd hand N7 = somewhere in the N4 non play store market price), offers a larger screen and better experience anyway. Waiting game blows balls, there's always a better phone around the corner.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
We're seriously so close to an entire generation of Core A15 based phones. Buying a Galaxy Nexus would be a horrible idea right now. It's a great phone, but this is the part where it starts to fall behind in terms of performance and features. I'm ready to give it up for a Galaxy S IV or the 2013 HTC Flagship.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshuajones:
I would say yes. I the development for this will keep it alive for a long time, and you can find one for dirt cheap.

Get one to hold you over til the next nexus; the nexus 4 isn't a good enough improvement to bother with yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neovdr:
I have to disagree with you here. Being an early adopter sucks and you risk a lot. I got into that when the first dual cores arrived and I am not doing that again ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MekaDragon:
In my humble opinion, this is one of those devices that still faces superior models.

Smartphones industry goes really, maybe too much fast, so, they want us to see that a smartphone that is only one year old it's already obsolete. Yeah sure... Even Galaxy S keeps facing some mobile devices...

If you can find Galaxy Nexus for less than 300$, I think it's really worthy. It's an awesome device. I managed buying one for 199€ and i can't be more happy, lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neovdr:
I did the same since the Nexus 4 is 525 euro here :'(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheJerf01:
I am just getting back on to my old Nexus and loving it, I just started messing with custom ROMs. Still a great phone, other than no expandable memory.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] margaretiak:
I bought Nexus like a month ago.. For 330eur(cheapest in my country..mostly its still selling for ~500eur here) ..hell i would like to have americans prices.

And im quite satisfied. Was thinking about note 2 but its huge and I couldnt have it in pocket in my (physical) job.

Since I was using htc desire before, its a rocket!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] madd0g:
Bought it 2nd hand in December for 280€, mint condition, 1 year old, it was a fair price since I've been able to sold my 1 year old Nexus S for 200€. Don't regret it a bit. I've played with friends N4, but doesn't convince me to shell out the price difference (bought outside Play Store) and in 1 year both will be outdated as **** anyway. Except I'll lost maybe 50-80€ when selling, but N4 will lost 200€ in 6 months.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] khuzema9:
guys i am from pakistan, i bought it in usa 4 months back, and i must say,, i love it , much much better than all these other options.. so much you can do as you all must know better than me.. and i dont know why its so expensive in india.its available here in around 300 buck quite easily...

If you want to install cgm 10.1 on your S3 you can download the zip file of the latest version of the Rom and if you have already rooted your S3 you have to install that zip using the recovery.

If you haven't rooted your s3 you have first of all to root it.

Where did you read that you need a particular version of the original rom to install cgm?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragonwith:
Hmm okay, Cant remember...

What root file do i need? this one? CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4

I have 2 odins: 1.85 and 3.07

So i root it, Put the files on my phone delete catch and all that.

Find the zip on the phone and install it?

I folllowed a other tut that said i needed gapps or something?

To boot recovery you have to use vol up + home + power. Is cwm installed?

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sten_amund:
Hello all!

I'm completely stock, no root and have the latest firmware for the nordic countries installed. The other day I wanted to try out the MusicHub-app (see title), which is pre-installed with ICS, but I'm not able to get it to work. I'm wi-fi connected, GPS connected and have my Samsung account on the tablet going, but it's stuck on 'opening' for about 5 minutes and then a dialogue box states (translates to) 'Unable to establish location'. Hitting 'OK' then closes the app.

Anybody seing the same? Am I missing out on something here? Settings? Might it be that the app-version has issues? I have read somewhere that MusicHub is currently not available in all regions - if so, why would the app be pre-installed for my region? I should add that I talked to Samsung, and they had no answer other than trying a factory reset. I actually did that less than two weeks ago so I doubt that it will make any difference.

Any ideas, suggestions or feedback greatly appreciated. Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sten_amund:
After having tested the MusicHub a little I seem to have found what's causing the issue on my tab. Using the native task manager to free memory/RAM apparently kills some process essential to the MusicHub. After a fresh restart of the tab, the MusicHub works fine. Testing again after having freed memory causes it not to work. Restart of the tab - voila it works again. Just in case someone of you runs into the same issue :cowboy:

Noob here.

Im Rooted and using Jelly thunder Blackout ROM.

In the about me section of settings under "model number" it reads "galaxy nexus"

Is that a problem?

Also

I downloaded the RC3 zip and in the (build Number) section it reads RC2.1

Is that normal couldnt find nothing on google about it.

[General Questions and Answers] ddix585:
"nexus"

Same thing here. Just wondering if it'll make a difference with rom manager . When I do a rom back up I like to use rom manager so I can name the back up. I'm sure there are other ways to do it but I like that way. But when u use rom manager it only lists recovery, downloads, Roms etc. For nexus . Its no problem with me just do wanna flash something wrong
[General Questions and Answers] Dachozenwon:
the reason is so you can install wallet. if you don't want to install google wallet go into your system folder and switch build.prop to buildprop.bakk and build.prop.bak to the original build.prop. should read i317 after a reboot
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Jinxxed:
Should be working fine but it's thoroughly untested so expect errors at some point.

It's for cyanogenmod installations where /custpack is mounted to /system/app, if there is a request i'll make a version that mounts /custpack to /custpack but for now this is it.

I take no responsibility for what this will do to your phone, it's entirely possible that it will kill your phone and even cause a rift in the space time continuum which will kill us all.

Anyway, here it is, flashable via fastboot as usual, if it goes to stable i'll make an installer for it to install via CWM.

For those not comfortable with flashing via fastboot or who don't have access to a computer at this time, use flash_image via terminal, it should work fine.

Latest version:

cwm_touch_cocktail_6.0.2.7-testing-V2.img

Changelog:

2013-01-09

* Fixed buttons, you can now scroll, select and go back using the buttons.

* Fixed backup, /custpack is now linked to /system/app, this should also make it compatible with older roms. (Remember, this is still testing)

* Added mountpoint for /sd-ext to fix nandroid backups for A2SD/S2E/Links2SD installed apps.

* Fixed some glitches and updated kernel code.

2013-01-08

* initial release
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Hylix:
Just flashed it to my mobile and thus far it looks promising. Currently I am not planning to change my rom yet so I haven't confirmed if it is able to flash a rom I only saw it boot.

A little thing I noticed though.

When CWM boots and you are in the main menu the menu fills around 80% of the screen. But when you go to another menu lets say flash something from SDCard it only fills up 50% of the screen and you have to scroll a lot to reach the bottom.

Also the buttons are not working at all?

When you press some of the buttons it starts doing weird stuff..

It seems like the volume buttons and the power button work currectly but the buttons at the bottom of the screen are weird.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Jinxxed:
I had completely forgotten about the bottom buttons TBH, i'll fix that in a future version. :)

Regarding the screen space, it's not much i can do about that ATM but i'll keep it in mind when and if it gets to stable.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Hylix:
Awesome looking good so far :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tumaini418:
Really cool. Just point and I'll help test. :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Mrwargod:
Downloading and testing.

With this we can backup and restore CM/PA/PAC roms right?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Jinxxed:
If you mount /system/app in mounts and storage it should work just fine. :)

I'm probably going to write a script and put it in the place of the nandroid/nanddump/nandwrite files so /system/app is mounted before the backup/restore is written.

Just added some stuff to it, partitioning sdcard and support for sd-ext (and swap).

Should work well with an init.d script and s2e for those interested in larger storage for apps.

(simple script to mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 to /sd-ext would work)

Yes, having that automated would be great. If i could backup/restore/install zip's all in one CWM that would be awssome and render it definitivelly daily usable. And way easyer for me to test more roms without the concern in loosing my previous rom.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Jinxxed:
Should work fine now, to check if it is, analyze the content of your /sdcard/clockworkmod folder. :)

Wipe battery stats is missing in advanced menu.

Backup / Restore - Not working properly - Some of my apps got lost in restore, namedelly all the gapps, some launchers (holoHD), some file explorers (root file explorer), google account, . . .

Flash zip - ROM flashed ok but gapps didn't flashed, neither did an aditional mod.

But it's really looking really good. And the hardware buttons are fixed.

Keep up the good work.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Jinxxed:
Thank you. :)

It's a weird result since that means that the backup has problems with both /data and /system/app (i assume since google account and launchers not installed via CWM are stored on /data). It really should be all or nothing, one would think... :D

There is a problem with mounting /system/app for some reason, that's why gapps isn't installed properly, i'll look into it. :)

It should be easy enough to fix though, expect a new version within the next couple of days. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Hylix:
Will post the same post here as in Benetnath his PAC rom cause maybe it has something to do with CWM?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just ran against a problem with doing the PAC update.

All my gapps seem to be broken and some apps crash on start up.

I had the first PAC rom running and flashed the newest over it while clearing my cache (tried flashing the gapps after this but still didn't fix it)

After this I did a complete reset and flashed it and now it seems to work.

Don't know if its the ROM or if its the new touch CWM which is still in testing..

NOTE: It seems like other people succeeded in flashing the updated rom over the previous rom.

I am not the only one with this problem and it seems like there are other people who have the same problem with the other CWM so ignore this all :)
