Just installed it on my nexus. Automatically imported cards from Google checkout. No more having to use the prepaid card.

Jellybean heads...have y'all heard of this app Tapestry?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ekatasystems.apps.tapestry&hl=en

allows you to share pics without using any kind of data or wifi or bt at all. Don't know if it works since I only have one JB device but curious to know if it does and what part of Jellybean allows it to work

Looks like it's using wifi direct.

it's about time

Yeah. We still can't manually configure wifi direct connections on the nexus. Something about functionality broadcom doesn't want to give away, they want oems to pay to include on their handsets. It's garbage. But whatever. Apps should still be able to use it. They just provide the handshaking info we apparently aren't able to configure manually.

I can't test it as I don't have another phone on me right now. But the app's description says it doesn't need a wifi access point, and the app turns on my wifi connection. So I assume it's using wifi direct.

[GulfCoastGhost]

so if I download a 'kernel' which I have no idea what the fukk it is, do I flash it before or after I flash the rom?

The phone needs to have nfc with a secure element. Only the nexus and phones with the S4 (HTC one series, S3) do to my knowledge. Then there's the carrier hurdle. Google would like to have it everywhere I'm sure.

Flash it after the ROM. Since ROMs come equipped with kernels, if you flash the kernel before you flash the ROM it will just get replaced by the one included in the ROM.zip file.

What ROM did you flash?

I am disappointed with the music player functionality of my galaxy s3. I have tried double twist and I can't keep my playlist going all the way thru. It's always freezes. I am playing my music from an sd card.

Any tips breh?

Brooklyn. I tried to upload my music to that and it's running insanely slow. Do you just have your playlist in the cloud?

I know you got a Note as well, you got that new JB rom, is all i can do. Google Now is one of the most amazing pieces of software i've ever seen. i ask it the craziest shyt and it is always right. is all i can do breh
