Nanoid backup. I always back up before trying out a new rom. But its a pain because it takes so long to back up and restore with gnex.

Yeah, I did that this time around after getting everything set up properly. The thing is, the Nexus just randomly rebooted last night and then wouldn't boot again. I changed nothing. I should have made a clean back up after getting it all set up. Oh well, live and learn.

I'm staying on stock for now and waiting patiently for official 4.0.3. Judging from now long official 4.0.3 has been delayed, I think Google and Samsung are trying to solve a LOT of issues with this update. I'm expecting a new baseband at this point, the LTE Tuna has a lot of the same signal issues the Droid Charge had back during it's launch, and Samsung are probably moving the fixes for the Charge (which uses the same Samsung 4G + Via 3G radio combination) over to the Tuna.
Had to ditch gummy v5 and go back to CM9 kang. Gummy after version 3.8 (went from that to 5) became too inconsistent performance wise (still loads better than stock). I would have stayed on 3.8, but I was missing my notification power controls. So far CM is basically gummy 3.8 with more options.
Franco 12 kernel btw. Still rocks (may mess around with color controls later).

it does mess up some applications
This. Things will render in the bottom left 1/4 of the screen and not work. Happened to me with scoutmob, I emailed support and they had me turn acceleration off. Right now I have it left off for the sake of compatibility. It'd be nice if that's something tasker could change on an app by app basis, but that's probably a pipe dream.
We will get something that's amazing and definitely stable for sure months from now. These things just take time. For now there are already very good alternatives for stock, but nothing is bug free yet. Still it's better than what Google gave us for 4.0.2. Like someone said earlier, I hope that 4.0.3 ends up being a huge upgrade from Google and that they finally solve the Android OS/Wake time issues.
Regarding the MHL cable, it works fine. There were some times when the screen would go blank but the audio stayed on, but I think it had to do with the plug not being completely plugged into the electrical socket/a loss connection, but everything was stretched out. It played fine after I corrected the issue.
I stopped being stubborn and I got this case: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0065PGWQ0/?tag=neogaf0e-20
It's very good and they've fixed all the issues with it. You can put on the extended battery and it should still fit. Check on youtube to see how the revision 3 case looks on video.

That the case I'm using right now. Such a perfect case for the price. However having a naked gnex in your hands feels so good.

What does facebook do to drain so much power? Can't you just disable all the notifications and data push or w/e?

Hi GAF,
I got a Galaxy Nexus from a Google employee in Ireland and I've noticed that the battery cover has a different design from the Nexus reviews and photos I've seen on the web so far.
Its got a matte finish with all the Android symbols on it like phone, sms, people, etc..
Anyone got a battery cover like it?

To be honest, I think its pretty terrible. It looks like a Louis Voutton bag.

Yeah, we all know how people hate the look of LV bags.

Damn you got lucky, I'm sure you could resell that phone on ebay for a tidy profit.

i bet just the backplate could be sold for a tidy profit!

That's the point.
You won two years in a row? What the...I won the nexus s last year from google and we got the custom back cover, but this year the galaxy nexus gsm I won just has the normal cover.

I hope the universe balances this out and makes sure he never wins ANYTHING again. Not even games
Haha what the hell...
So when are we going to start seeing custom back plates for this phone? I'd like to have an assortment based on my mood.
Ooooo for the verizon model? That'd be sweet.
I'm going to try your setup now. I haven't had many bugs (other than the deep sleep issues and wifi not turning off when sleeping), but I'm for anything that makes battery life the best possible and is still very smooth with no bugs.
I was able to get 41 hours with moderate usage on 3G. Let's see if this combo will beat that

Yeah, it would be pretty coincidental if it wasn't the point, I guess.
I use 2, 0, -5 for my rgb offsets. Looks nice.
Love AOKP and Franco combination... Very good battery life and nice and smooth.
yeah, i sure want to make my shitty reception even fucking worse.
I have AOKP milestone and Franco #12.
For some reason the options in the setting menu that I had before disappeared.. Was it moved? (like setting the governor and using setCPU).
I wiped everything, flashed to milestone 2, then franco on top of that..
EDIT: nope still don't know if anything went wrong

haha, will it really? Then what's the point of them making that
Antenna's on the bottom of the phone duder.
Hmmm.. silver one looks really nice.
because a metal plate far away from the antenna will really show your phone who's boss, right?
if anything, I'm curious if it will prevent NFC from being used.
I see this too, most apparent when I'm scrolling down a webpage with black text and a white background. It's like there's a texture stuck on the screen, but I guess that's indicative of pentile?
don't hurt me
It's not the pentile effect, it's the physical texture of the AMOLED screen I believe.

Look at close up shots of pentile and you'll see the green tint.
Kernel Settings has stuff like RGB offsets, etc.
You're looking for "Overclock Setings" (from memory) which has governor/frequency settings.
