i got a droid 3. i got that part down. its when they want me to install this and that program. back this file up etc., that got me second guessing myself.

so your rooted? doing a backup from recovery is important, in case you mess up during flashing a room, you can reinstall your backup and its like nothing happened

ive been too lazy to root and install cm9 on my galaxy nexus

I only rooted to install 4.0.4 (which brings you back to stock anyway)

Pre-orders for the new EVO start today. Do they have a release date for that phone yet?

ive been thinking on doing that since it looks like they pulled the ota update.. but i havent really noticed any problems rocking 4.0.2 except the fact i cant get the phone to connect to my car radio through blue tooth.. was able to connect when i first got the phone now they cant find each other

You haven't had any connection issues with 4G? I've had it for a day and the connection to and from 4G have been butter smooth



And I might be bugging, but it also seems to have had a positive effect on my battery too

I live in a non-wimax, non 4g area


Is there any reason to even upgrade from my EVO until that changes?

My usb port fukked up on my evo, but im thinking of just getting that hoe fixed instead of jumping back out there again

What area you live in? Cuz I'm in the same boat. Looking at Galaxy Nexus tho, need a phone w replaceable battery. Don't know if I wanna hop on that SG3 wave.
