I flashed Xenon, Gapps then cleared cache and davlik cache
On JB with Google Now, when I leave location service on, I get huge location related wakelocks in maps like this...
When I turn it off, I do not get these wakelocks.
And there's still a long a way to go. AOKP had you being able to change the color of the icons and have swipable widgets.
I'm hoping for the custom lock screen is next because that's another thing that I used a lot.
what are "swipable widgets"?
You can slide out the navbar keys for a music player etc while in the middle of a game or any app.

Interesting idea, glad it's just a custom ROM feature and not stock because it's incredibly ugly UI wise.
Yeah, but Xenon has been great stability and performance wise and I don't know where CM 10 Kangs are yet
I feel the same way.
Probably October or November, but Sprint might not have it/them at launch.
mehh this is a really bad time to be wanting a new phone everything is 2+ months away

Hell yeah! and loving it!
Had some issues, switched to XenonHD
You're still far better off with an evo than a lot of other android phones. you'll live!
You mean 4.1.1 stock? Yeah I'm still on it. 4.1 pretty much nuked any desire I had to run any launchers or ROMs. Its just fantastic the way that it is. Slapped my widgets and whatnot and organized them on my screens, and I'm satisfied. Everything is fluid and smooth and fast. Good times.

Been running the CM10 preview for about 4 days now and love it so far, runs nice and smooth, battery life seems good and no crashes. It feels like stock 4.1.1 but with a few nice extras like toggles in the nav bar (which I find it really hard to live without), weather on my lock screen and a couple of extra apps on the unlock circle thing. If anyone is in two minds I'd say give it a go. Seems to run better than the AOKP preview IMHO.
Gave it up a couple weeks ago. Too many issues where things are fixed and then broken and then fixed and then broken. I enjoyed it early on though, but Xenon is where it's at now.
Oh wait a minute, is Jelly Belly a rom? I thought he was talking about Jelly Bean.
Got my Galaxy Nexus in the mail yesterday, coming over from an Omnia 7 (WP 1G), this is nice. The screen feels a bit too big for my taste, but it's not Note or Streak size either.
My last Android was a Hero running Donut (I think? 1.6) before I switched to the Omnia 7; Android has certainly advanced these past two years. I still prefer WP in terms of UI, but Android's made some much needed progress in that field.

yeah it's a rom. A fork that's just pure AOSP with the verizon bits hacked in for the lte tuna.

I was on 3.6 up until last night and I flashed over to 5.1. Very smooth and no problems thus far.
There isnt one yet for Verizon. You'd have to go with an aosp ROM. I wouldnt expect an official update for at least another six weeks.
He jumped up to 5.1 already?
wow.
Anyone using any good mods?
Also why is it that all of the CM10/AOKP themes I see look like shit....
All right, well...I'm impatient. I prefer rock solid stability and everything working over some crazy themed/skinned/tweaked/whatever build, so what should I go with?
XenonHD is my favorite right now.
Look for any stock aosp build of jellybean with the stock kernel. Team EOS is one that fits what you want.
Things get broken with every update, so each update is a refix of a fix...
Once again, another vote for Xenon HD.
I've been using Bugless Beast and have been very happy with it.
To me, it seems like 5.1 is the best he's put out yet.
Every version that comes out, I tend to wait a day or so to see if there are any complaints in the message boards, and if there are, I just wait for the next and repeat.
This one though, I haven't heard anything bad about it at all. I think he finally got it right.
I had serious issues with Jelly Belly and Bugless Beast. Xenon HD has been rock solid so far.
yea no problems on 5.1 thus far.
Sideload an older version of it, log in and set your pin etc, then go to a direct link through your phone from the play store to update it.
Such as this...

Ugh. No success looking for a solution on Google:
Whenever I use my browser, an orange rectangle appears (and will move to whatever I touch) which automatically activates text-to-speech for anything inside the rectangle. It's annoying as hell. I can disable Google Text-to-Speech services, but the rectangle remains...any ideas? I'm on XenonHD.
It didn't do this for the first day or so. = (
Edit: Never mind. Had to uncheck "Enhance web accessibility" under "accessibility" settings.

Get market enabler, spoof as T-Mobile US then download wallet. Easy peasy

Here is a direct link to the Rootwiki thread that I used.

I looooove the notification LED options but I'm still in a tizzy over which ROM I prefer. For some reason, Xenon still seems more 'solid' for me...Probably because I have used it for almost three weeks now. Perhaps I will let Codename get a few updates under its belt first. Either way, give it a try!

Get them off of Google Plus?
I don't know if this actually works or not but it sounds similar to recovering pictures from an sd card:

Those just came up in a quick google search, hope they help.
