Hey, guest user. Hope you're enjoying NeoGAF! Have you considered registering for an account? Come join us and add your take to the daily discourse.
There's two ways, once is a temp unroot and the other is a permament. Not sure which superuser app you're using, but if you look inside the settings both options might be in there.
You can still use Google Wallet with root btw. It just says "unsupported" on the top.
Phone version of JB for the GN still have the aosp browser on it.

Those on XenonHD, which Gapps are you using for JRO03L?

Been using the GN for a good while now and not getting good battery life. Thinking of rooting. Any roms out there that offer improved battery life?

I would just use the roms people talk about here. I think it's more about the kernel though. Kernels that come with roms seem to be good enough, or you could use franco kernels.

Of the 3 versions I've used I don't remember any random reboots. I'm on CNA now though.
What version are you on? I haven't had this issue but I also haven't upgraded beyond v5
Xenon 9.0 is out...But I am stuck in Codename Android land these days.
I read somewhere that Xenon still runs a little bit smoother than CNA
Dropped my Nexus onto concrete as well. There is a dent in the corner, and the back plate no longer sits flush ( it has a slight bubble effect), but performance of the phone itself is the same.

Anyone know why Codename Android's torchlight option for the widget panel is greyed out? Is there a light app I need to download?
Or you know it'd be wise to not drop your phone or anything of value from 5 feet onto solid concrete.
but cracked concrete is fine!
I was using Xenon before switching to CNA and I don't see any differences in that regard. Then again I don't mess with kernels so who knows what is being run in terms of overclocking etc.

Is your flashlight option working for cna?
Easier said than done. That's why there are cases, some that practically double the size of the phone, and insurance.
I had version 7 at the time. I noticed there was an update on the 12th, and I think I was using the version from the 11th, but I still had reboot issues after flashing. Strangely enough after posting, I no longer had screen-off reboots. Minecraft runs like ass, though, whereas on vicious JB AOSP V1, I never had it stutter or lag. I'll try 9.0 maybe tomorrow.
I wanted to try codename android, but isn't he the dude that steals other people's code?

I have a case on my phone. As long as it doesn't land face-down on a corner and shatter the screen, I think my phone will survive.

does this have gorilla glass?
just noticed a new scratch. Looks like a hair sitting on top of the screen ugh. Had my Droid X for two years and never had any noticeable scratches on the screen. GNex for 2 months and I already have two
yup. the glass is a piece of shit.

Had this phone for over a month now and really enjoying it. I have 2 negatives though. One is the size, this phone is pretty big and from now on I will not go bigger. To me it is the upper limits on how big a phone should be. A tad smaller and it would be perfect. The other is the battery life. Having to charge the phone at least twice daily. Other than that I am really enjoying vanilla Android. My previous phones where HTC running sense.

Not really. I had a gs2 for no more than a month and got a scratch on it. I've had the gnex for 4 months and not a single scratch and I've dropped it 3 times once on concrete, twice on hardwood. I would say the glass is alright.

If you're willing to root your device, you may be able to improve battery life. I go to sleep with my device at 30-60% remaining depending on my usage. On stock I had to emergency charge sometimes.
I don't use it so I am not sure...Don't see the option...

Toggles for the notification bar. Mine was greyed out, along with 2g/3g.
Same for me.
Yeah that is what I saw too...Didn't really look into it. I guess it isn't currently supported.

Lost all my sdcard data. Have no idea why.
AOKP Build 1 is going to be released today:

The data connection on my Verizon Tuna went down for most of the day. Verizon has had outages before but never this long. But then it came back up and for the first time ever out here, the 4G icon showed up next to the signal bars! Yes, Verizon 4G LTE has finally come to my market! I must be in the 75% of US population!

Just waiting for the Verizon Toro build to hit.
Oh damn. Well xenon will do until I can try that out.
Thanks for the update...snagging now.
I wish these guys could get this stuff out *before* bed time. hahaha
Oh well, something to flash during morning rush hour gridlock.
They don't have my most cherished feature: long pressing to switch tracks.
It's ok though cause AOKP build 1 feels very smooth (like I may be able to tell a difference, lol) and has some new features that Xenon HD didn't have (but Codename probably already implemented from the AOKP nightlys).
I hope that they start belting out these builds every few days. Because I want to see all the features I had in milestone 6 back.
One thing that I NEVER touched was the settings with the colors. Well AOKP has in device options display settings where you can change the color multipliers and color gamma. I usually didn't ever mess with this stuff, but when I went here, it turns out that there a preset settings including CM Sett. After easily applying all the CM settings, everything looks darker, but has a higher contrast. I'm going to roll with this for a while and see how much this helps battery life. In addition, I'm going to stick with faux and see how it does battery life. It's annoying to try to figure out which kernel is the best for you.

This was posted in the Android OT, thought it would be relevant here too:

If true, I'm guessing google wants to keep the $350 price point and is simply going to do a spec bump to an OMAP 4470. I'm not sold on this based on the fact that it claims to have an SD card slot and google has very clear reasons why they've been omitted on the past 3 nexus devices.

Well, the Nexus team isn't philosophically opposed to it nor do they need storage tiers for boost their profit margins (a la Apple). A member of the Android team explained a bit last year:
So.. Duarte to the rescue? A revolutionary file system UI (instead of throwing the baby out with the bathwater) would be huge.Dan Morrill said:
In addition to the UMS stuff Greyface mentioned, I feel like it's also an incentive to get people to use their services rather than dump everything on their phone, though the Nexus 7 is more guilty of this than the phones.
How does the Galaxy S3 handle the flash+a memory card? Does it support UMS or is it also MTP only?
