Essential Official Android Thread

Jelly bean will ship the next nexus and all nexus get updated first with the new software. Other phones rely on Oem+ carrier

when you say all nexus

you mean this used galaxy nexus for verizon I just picked up for $150?

 

[GulfCoastGhost]

Other devices rely on ROMS far more than the carrier. Get it together. I am assuming 95% of the people in this thread know what xda is and will be able to follow basic steps to get a JB ROM on their phone. The Nexus will have it first by a few weeks (not remotely a huge deal).

I'm brand new to this google sh*t
I'm still waiting for this damn SIM card to arrive, but I'm already loving this phone more than my One X, and I don't even have no Verizon service yet

So i need to know all about this sh*t, should I even bother rooting a galaxy nexus, isn't it stock ICS, isn't that what most people strive for?

See, total Noob, have no idea what i'm talking about

:shake: I come here in peace

Real talk. Brehs. I need to root this galaxy note and then put an ICS ROM on it. But I can't find how to do it on a MAC OSX with the Panther shyt on it.

Help a brother out fam.

I was slamming the Nexus earlier...but all thins considered, it's a good ass phone. If google/samsung can tweak some of the issues for the next one....it will be unfukkwithable.

@doc yes the galaxy nexus Lte is the google nexus phone but the gsm is the real one since no carrier blocks or delay the updates
