How come the ICS browser is still included? It's smoother still too
I assume because these aren't official ports.
Who needs chrome when it works this good!

Chrome is only the default browser on the Nexus 7, not all JB devices. The Android Browser is still alive and well in the mobile phone builds of JB.

Flashed the JB rom and the root fix on top of AOKP M5 (nandroid backup before just to be sure), no problems whatsoever.
I'm very impressed with the smoothness of JB. It's damn amazing.

OK, so how do I ensure I have the latest "Radio"? I had to revert back to 4.02 using the Root Toolkit and then flashed to Jelly Bean from there and that looks like it fixed things for me (any issues with that process that I should be aware of)? Only problem is my speeds with 4G seem to be a lot lower and my signal in the middle of NYC is a consistent two bars when it used to be higher after my Verizon 4.04 update
Edit: If I flash this will it cause any issues now that I'm on JellyBean?

Do you know the latest radio number for your phone? If so it's Settings>About Phone>Baseband Version
Edit: you should be fine with the 4.0.4 radio
Side note: I'd suggest you start learning how to do things manually(flashing ROMs/Basebands etc..) and move away from toolkits and the like

That's what I was trying to find out; how to determine what the most recent radio number is. I know how to find my current version, not sure what the up to date one is. I'm on 1515.10 V.EK05 / 1515.EK02
I think now that I've got it unlocked and rooted (first time doing that) I'll be good manually from now on. Made it a lot easier for a first timer to see step by step what the process is, but I think I'm getting comfortable on my own. I decided at midnight yesterday that I'd root my phone and from then on it's been a crash course

Seems the latest Radio for your phone is FC04/FC05. All the radios for your phone can be found here. Just copy to storage>reboot to recovery>flash .zip file>reboot. Be careful though.. Under no circumstance should you interrupt a Radio/Baseband flash.
Alright, I'm gonna try now, just woke up.

Yeah Chrome kind of sucks. I want it to be amazing, but the ICS browser is just so much faster.
Hmm... the Toolkit only works on Windows? I'm sitting with a Mac.
EDIT:
Actually, I'll just do it from the Windows 7 machine then.
Looks like you'll have to do it the hard way... You can skip step 2, unless you have important apps that you need backed up. You can also skip steps 5 & 6, since once you get done with step 4 everything else can be done in recovery.
Edit: Well that makes it a lot easier.
They touch on the usefulness that Topolsky can't wrap his head around in this interview. Now talk starts about halfway through.

From what I've read so far and my little time with it, it's something that gets better the more/longer you use it. It's kinda really awesome/creepy when you really think about it.

I actually saw this earlier. It's very cool. But to GAF specifically, how are you guys enjoying Now?
Depends on where you are and what you're looking for.
So far it hasn't yet pulled up new restaurants for me, but it almost immediately informed me about traffic from home to school, pulled up the map and estimated my travel time. Unfortunately I was taking the bus and Google doesn't support public transit routes here in Michigan. Seems to guess what location is work/home based on your visitation frequency in addition to what the location is categorized as. It assumed that the school I visit daily was actually where I work, but I understand how it can make that mistake as it's mainly a hospital.
I've been using it for search to see how fast I can improve whatever it does behind the scenes, so I inputted my flight for tomorrow and a few others. We'll see if it actually prompts with a card to remind me of when to leave.
It has been pretty good with showing me cards concerning places I've been to with added traffic and travel-time details. Whenever you have multiples of the same type of card, like 3 coffee shops in the same area you normally visit, the cards are stacked and grouped together so you can see the title of each. There's also a convenient Navigate icon at the bottom of the card so you can quickly get turn-by-turn directions.
That's as far as I've been able to get so far, though, unless you have specific questions. Searching via voice is so much faster than typing it's ridiculous. I find myself using that the most, really, other than just also feeding information for testing purposes.
I have no idea. I've read comments that it's a little gimped compared to the US version, but I've never seen in detail by how much.
Your opinion is sadly wrong. The G-Nex has one of the worst cameras in any smartphone from the last 2 years. It's really pathetic how they didn't slap the S2's camera in there.
the focusing was absolutely fucked (nonexistant is probably the better word) in 4.0.2 and 4.0.3, I don't recall you having your nexus long enough to update to 4.0.4 when they restored the groundbreaking ability to focus the camera when hitting the capture button.
nevertheless it's a cheap unit for a high end phone
EDIT: Beaten. But this news seemed big enough to start a new thread over.

I'm really hoping that this trial gets the attention it deserves. The fact that actionable linking is a patented feature when it's been employed in mobile devices pre-dating iPhones is ridiculous. And multi source searching? Redonkulous.
Now Google is gonna have to step in no?
i dont know the other 2, but Apple must love getting patents invalidated

I wonder how long it'll take to have the decision appealed. I'm no lawyer but I wonder whether the injunction can be lifted temporarily subject to further proceedings.
Is one of those patents referring to the ability to search via voice? Am I reading that right?

Would have been more impressive if he laid it on its side and gave it one swift chop like lumber.
Just ordered this(Nexus) last night. So I made it in! Woooo!
Doubtful since the injunction was against Samsung who is the hardware manufacturer.
No idea, just extra motivation. Finally got the drivers to install. Almost done
Also a question... when JB is officially sent out will I get the OTA?

Maybe Google needs to throw around some more lobbying money. They're always getting screwed with patents and privacy and anti-trust BS while Apple and MS skate by despite them being significantly more anti-consumer.

They've been throwing around tons of lobbying money for years. They just haven't really capitalized on it yet.
The hearing isn't until monday, if the injunction does go through, I assume current orders will still ship. So...order now?
IANAL

Do you want a new plan? or upgrade with it?
Because amazon wireless has some good deals on it. I got it for 50 dollars with sprint.
I'm on t-mobile. I have a family contract with 2 other phones. All of our phones are dumbphones and we planned to all upgrade our phones now that we can upgrade theirs (on the 8th we get fully subsidized phones). The other two on the contract are getting galaxy S2s for 50bux each. I wouldn't mind the S3 much if i could get jellybean on it of course, but i don't think that's going to happen soon.
