It's true that Flash isn't supported in JB anymore and won't show up in the Google Play Store either. You can probably find the flash APK on the net and sideload it to your phone.

Ok so I haven' tgone to Jelly Belly yet still on Vicious V1 but im gonna either flash Jelly Belly or Xenon HD in a little bit.
I noticed that running stock JB kernal most of my issues went away. I just had a random reboot while playing music Via Google Music this morning and thats it. My QCell Extended lasted longer as well on stock JB kernel
Yeah. Stock kernel really has been the most reliable so far.

I was on Franco and Lean Kernel and I would get a warm/hot screen most of the time low battery life. Even though I know my screen on time won't be high I wasn't getting any good results. I thought it was the extended but then I flashed stock kernel and now the extended works flawlessly not bad for 20 bucks
As long as you don't need a lot of MODs, Xenon HD is solid as crap and super stable. Love it.
Apps are installed on android via APK files. Most are obtained like you tried to do through the play store, but there are plenty that are simply distributed as a normal .apk file that you download and then install through a different mechanism.
In your phone's settings, go to Security, then scroll down to device administration, then check 'unknown sources'. This allows you to install .apk's that you don't get from the play store. In the meantime, I have the flash APK somewhere and will post hit here soon.
EDIT: here's an APK from Xda-developers. I just tested it and it works fine http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1763805
What is the best way to root the Verizon Galaxy Nexus?
I am doing this method: http://www.pcworld.com/article/253341/how_to_root_your_verizon_galaxy_nexus.html I just installed the Android SDK, is there a particular API that I must use? Will 4.1 work even though it has not been released for the phone yet?

Well I ordered a Nexus off the Play store today. After over a decade on ATT I'm going to try out this phone on the $30 a month T-Mobile plan. I'm switching from an iPhone 4 so the bigger screen and the HSPA+ should be a good upgrade. I'm only worried I'm going to kick myself in a few months when the new iPhone comes out.

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
You will kick yourself because the new iPhone will be the shiny new thing when it comes out. But hold out, be strong, and you'll see Android is really a much more useful OS.
I'm really hoping the fact that I'm going to be paying $30 instead of $80 a month keeps me from having switching remorse. Also with no AT&T LTE in my area and the lack of new interesting features in io6 I think it's a good time to jump. Phones really seem like they are settling down this year. Sure you can get a quad core processor but they don't seem to make the phone/tablet any better.

What was that issue you had with battery I saw you posted in the rootzwiki page I think. That made me skip it for now but atm im on euroskank aokp with w/e kernel it came with. So far liking the battery life
As a user of Jelly Belly since 1.2 and up until about 3.5 or so, I highly recommend Xenon HD at this point in the game.
Oh no, that wasn't a battery *life* issue just a battery percentage mod issue in that it was supposed to have been compatible with the ROM but not actually working. My battery has been fine.
I have never tried it. Not only have I uninstalled Apollo but I think I have opened Google Music three times in my life. I use Subsonic for my music needs.
Sorry, I can't help you.
Maybe when I can get some songs cached from Subsonic, I will open up Google Play and give it a go.
Yeah, stock...I don't mess with kernels. heh
Anyone?
This is what I used on my gsm one, but it works on the verizon one as well. There's another toolkit with a windows UI though.

I used this one when I initially rooted too. Worked great.
Recently, I used this one on my GNex and Nexus 7.

I found this one easier to use but not by much. You cant go wrong with either.
Do you have GPS turned on? That might be what's draining your battery.
You're not going to get much more than that unless you start using red mode/blue mode hacks. That's about the max reach for the screen/battery combo.
Yes.
You get to control your media from the lockscreen.
Yes, if you have a pattern lock the player control area will be smaller, if it's fucking ugly it's mainly because of that low res album art, otherwise it's alright.
It'd probably help if you stop listening to shitty music.
Why isn't the album art centered instead of being squished on top?

that's just how it's designed. looks clean as fuck with pattern lock, I dig it so much more than the stupid buttons CM6/7 added to the bottom of the lockscreen in 2.3 and below
also, real neega roll call > real n*gg* roll call
Thank you and Nekrono for actually giving me an answer.

why would someone in America want a 3G phone!?
no shit, its like going back to the stone age. Every time i want to complain about not being on the cool kids GSM version i just browse the internet on a 3G phone for 15 seconds and I am good for another 6 months

I know now that the ultimate GNex experience is never installing Nike+.
Deinstalled that app now my phone runs faster, has longer battery life and finds GPS signal more quickly.
Yeah...

Does the US not have HSPA+?

God damn it. We're probably years away from 4g in blighty. Mind you I'm sure the networks would use it to price gouge cos the 4g licenses will undoubtedly not be cheap.
Heh, it just occurred to me how similar the lock screen looks to an OG color iPod when music is playing.
i live in the time, I wasn't watching a tube TV 2 years ago
tmobile is the only thing worth a damn with HSPA+, but one of the most noticeable difference on LTE (at least on Verizon) is the latency in comparison to 3G
This was so easy to use!
It drives me crazy when I roam out of LTE range, don't know how I ever survived on 3G.
