Great, thanks.
Go to Google now settings and add your favourite teams
They need to have NCAA. That would be really great
I guess nobody at Google ever went to college
Technically they went and then dropped out to found startups and become billionaires instead.
I would like to reset my phone to factory settings and start anew. Photos are already backed up...but....how can I prevent it from downloading all my old apps when I sign in to my Google account for the first time....or won't it?
WTF, this option was grayed out for me yesterday and now it works. Too bad they don't have NCAA or MLS teams but glad they have Euro Soccer. Also, would be awesome to have golf leaderboards and such. Hopefully this is all coming soon
Hate to ask this but.....where can I go to find out some must-have apps? I've literally not opened the App Store in about a year....so I'm a little behind, but I know how annoying it is to ask people "what apps should I get!?" so is there like....a master list/thread/website of awesome apps to check out somewhere?
I'd have to say after flashing codename android there's not much interest in a new phone beyond a better camera Wolfson dac, and a better screen. Gnex overclocked is awesome and deep sleep saves me so much battery power!
The next nexus phone is really gonna have to be something special to interest me beyond the gnex, otherwise I could sit still for another year possibly.

Could you explain a little bit about what's the difference between codename android and stock android? And does the Galaxy Nexus need to be overlocked, as is the CPU slow? Also want to know a bit about deep sleep, is that available in stock android?
Thanks!
I don't know why the Nexus sounds so bad for you. When I got this thing one of the first things I loaded up was Google Music and the sound quality really impressed me. No distortion at all on my end and everything sounded clean. At first some of us thought this was the Wolfson DAC, but it wasn't.

CNA is awesome, try Francos kernel and it's blazing, like Butter 2.0 or something. And I get like 2 days of battery life with moderate usage and about 3 hours of on screen time.
Deep sleep should be available in stock. Install Cpu Spy app and it will tell you the CPU usage.
CNA (or AOKP, CM10) is like enhanced stock android.
You get notification toggles - no need for external apps (as an notification toggle app screws with the JB notification system because you dont get expandable notifications on top), updated Linux kernel, SMS quick reply (popup sms box), lockscreen modifications (more targets), status bar modifications, cpu options, theme support etc.
Basically you get a bunch of options you can use or just disable/leave untouched without the need to install additional apps that have similar functionality.
CPU is not slow but you have the option to overclock however with a custom kernel I get great performance with stock CPU clocks. Only thing most custom kernels do is overclock the GPU from 307 to 384 - which apparently has proven to have only minimal impact on battery life while increasing the performance a little bit.
Thank you! to overclock the CPU I would need to root it, right?

Yes.
you need root for custom roms, overclock and kernels.
I find it to be easy on the Gnex to root. There is a Toolkit over at XDA that does all the magic.
Make sure you reset your wallet before you root and unlock! You don't want to lose nfc capability forever on the phone!
Aokp is pretty amazing by the way, the amount of mods and customisation options are mind blowing the first time you use it.Thanks, I was asking mostly because I don't think I'll get into the rooting thing, and I was wondering if I could overclock it without doing that.
Thanks again

You now can swipe with only one Finger to expand your notifications.
No more need for that two Finger gesture!
Wow they actually did what I suggested here awhile ago. Nice.New feature I have seen so far reading the thread:

no problem!
Some major differences are significantly improved battery life over the stock jellybean rom, output volume is significantly louder (ringtones, notifications, music from the speaker, etc). The main reason for the better battery life is because most established roms and kernels are set up so that the phone goes into a "deep sleep" when inactive, saving a crapload of battery power. by dialing down the processor speed and killing non essential functions and processes while idle. I was discharging 20 or more percentage points overnight on stock JB and now i may lose 3-4 points overnight.
You also get control over the notification light, its colors, frequency etc. You get power profiles for the processor and profiles for the phone like home, work, etc.
The only downside I've noticed at lest with CNA (codename android) is that MHL doesn't seem to be supported, and with my PS3 broken, I rely on my phone for netflix, movies, etc over my tv at the moment.
Can anyone reccomend a good car dock for the VZW GNex? Im looking at some universal options and theyre nice but Im wondering if theres anything with the 3 pin connector.

it can be quickly and easily "modified" for the vzw nexus in about 90 seconds
"Apple has presented no evidence that directly ties consumer demand for the Galaxy Nexus to its allegedly infringing feature," noted the court. The court added that while Siri is a very popular feature in Apple's iPhone, "there is also no dispute, however, that the Galaxy Nexus does not have a feature equivalent to Siri."
The appeals court ruled that the district court, which initially awarded the injunction against the Galaxy Nexus, "abused its discretion," and that Apple did not establish a causal nexus between the unified search feature and sales of the Galaxy Nexus. "To establish a sufficiently strong causal nexus, Apple must show that consumers buy the Galaxy Nexus because it is equipped with the apparatus claimed in the 604 patent not because it can search in general, and not even because it has unified search, " explained the court. As a result, the injunction has been permanently reversed and Samsung is free to sell the Galaxy Nexus in the US.

What does that entail?
Thank you again for all the explanation and details
I have one more doubt, how is the screen? I understand they didn't use Gorilla Glass so I was wondering if the screen is easily scratchable/breakable?
My battery is screwed. :X
I doubt the phone warranty will cover battery replacement.
I haven't updated so I don't know yet, sorry.I can't quite get the hang of this one finger thing, sometimes it seems to work and other times it doesn't Is there anything special I should be doing?
More like your phone is on wake lock.
If you notice, your phone wakes up a lot. Like, A LOT. It never goes into deep sleep (battery save) mode. You have to find out why it's doing that.
Go one screen back and see what is taking up your battery.
Nah the battery is done for.
Last week, after a full charge, I was on a call when suddenly the screen would no longer come on. Call was still ongoing but I could not get the screen to turn on in order to cancel the call. Had to take out the battery and reboot. Fully charged battery showed me 12% remaining after reboot.
Since then it's barely lasting 12 hours on a full charge. I checked the overnight idle consumption (switched it to airplane mode and made sure nothing was working in the background). In less than 7 hours battery was down to 45% from fully charged.
If this is due to wake lock, how do I check what's causing it? The battery screen only showed screen on, idle time and calls as the major battery users when I last checked.
Anybody here using SwiftKey (3) on their GNex? Sooooooooo gooooooood.

Better than Swype?
I don't like the "swipe" style keyboards, so yes, for me it's better. From what I can tell, SwiftKey doesn't support swipe functionality. It's basically the keyboard that the stock keyboard is supposed to be. No crazy, unnecessary functions, but very solid improvements all across the board.
