This is my original post about how my N1 died.
Farewell to Nexus One
I am looking for new phone, and I am interested with Galaxy Nexus, as I am a Nexus fanboy.
So, how is Galaxy Nexus so far? How big the upgrade if compared to N1? I don't read any reviews about it yet, and I want to hear some small opinion or review from xda members.
Thanks a lot.
A giant upgrade!

Use the search feature and read existing reviews with 10+ pages. Its a lot more efficient than starting a thread.
You'll get a lot of biased posts as well since...well..you are in the Galaxy Nexus forum.
Its $350 without a contract. I think that's a steal. Get it.

Get the GNex. You'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner.
Its the best phone out there.

I went from a G1 to N1 to NS to GNex... Each phone has been better than the last.
It's a huge jump from the N1 to the GNex, don't wait any longer.

A complete review of the Galaxy Nexus(and ICS).
You have ferrari of 80s and you ask for the ferrari of 2012. Take it and you'll see by your self. This baby flies !!!

I had the nexus one and loved it, but switching to the galaxy nexus was the best thing, don't know how I used the screen on the nexus one its tiny, plus you get faster radios, way better camera, a ffc and you can actually play games without the multi touch crapping out or being limited by the Adreno 200 GPU. And last but not least you get [email protected][email protected]!.
Get the galaxy nexus and you won't look back.

Nexus gives you wings?
.. but yeah, N1 to a GN is a HUGE upgrade. Any phone of this generation will be a huge upgrade. A caution of word though, after using Galaxy Nexus... your N1 screen will look like a joke. At least that's what GN did to me to any phone with a screen smaller than 4.5"
Hell, I went from the HTC One X to the GNex and it felt like a massive upgrade. I couldn't imagine going from N1 to GN. Do eeeet.
Get the GN and no mistake.
I'd changed my GN only with the next GN.
A big upgrade that's for sure.

Just use the open VPN for android off the market and you don't need to worry about tun. Just import your openvpn profile. Its nice app as you don't need root. It works on stock.

I am trying to get 9mm and gangsta rio loaded onto my nexus 7. Any ideas on how I could accomplish this? I am unable to see either games on the market.
Also, I have no rooted...yet....(not until I know I have too to get these games)
The apple hating Chris thanks to all those of help :highfive:

Did you figure this out, I'm trying to get 9mm too

If you bought them on another device you could try taking the apk off the other device and side loading it onto your Nexus 7. I have not tried this, but it might work. I purchased ME Infiltrator on my Evo 3D then side loaded it onto my GTab 2 7" and it works just fine, updates like it should but still says it's not compatible in the market.
That's a good idea username fluke, thanks for the advice.

Its possible he might not the data for the download if its large or any other weird reason. Think before you talk please.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
It's also possible it's a paid app that he doesn't want to pay for only to find out that it doesn't even work.
I've bought it however I'm low on data and would like to know how it runs before throwing my data away, its 1.3gb.

It runs on my N7 (downloaded of WiFi at home) however I left it in England and only have my GNex with me in France.

Okay I've looked into it, I might actually purchase this because it looks awesome. Love RPGs but I saw reviews from the play store to internet saying it runs great with no issues. I did see someone mentioned Two versions of the game - HD/SD. I'm assuming you bought the SD version.
But yes the nexus seems to play it fine, I'm sure it might run a bit slower compared to a tablet lol but I will also say it will depend on your ROM/Kernel choice too. I'm sure there won't be issues but you never know .
Anyway hoped that helped, I really probably buy this but by the time I'm ready to purchase my info probably won't be helpful lol.

Thank you. There is only one version of the game, just when you download it on a device with Tegra 3 (Nexus 7 ) it will give you the option for HD data that's about 3.2gb. I'm downloading it now, I've only played about an hour on my N7 but it is an awesome game, very funny. I really recommend you buy it. I'm using stock JB with root and trinity, i hope it runs well.

I did, its a fantastic game so far! I'm playing with everything maximum/ water "on"/shadows all etc. Running fine with no lag.
I am however disappointed in the audio, its pretty low quality from headphones not sure about speaker. But damn its a wonderful game, this might be the only game I continue to play on my android. Besides Mcpixel another game I suggest you buy if love humor. I never usually play on my android but this game has got me skin deep lol.
Thanks for letting me know about this game.
Cheers :beer:

Great to hear, glad it works well. Still downloading on my crappy conection but looking forward to it, I get very bored on the ferry. Like I said, I haven't played much but for the price you can't go wrong, they say it has 20+ hours of gameplay. Have fun

Made a retro bootanimation I thought I'd share with you guys.
Originally made it for the iPhone a few years back, but decided to make a new, better version for the Nexus 7!
Including the loved and hated Guru Meditation we all know so well

Feel free to edit and share as you want.

Nice job, man... Best computer of all times! I still have my KS1.3 A500 in its original box and still working great.
Also, nice to see other "Rock Lobster" fans around here. :highfive:
Thanks!
Yes it's an incredible machine
The sound quality still blows my mind.
I was thinking about making a bootsound with the ticks and buzzing of the floppy drive aswell, but figgured then i could never turn my nexus on at night Maybe mute it down a bit, it could be usable. We'll see in the future

Incredible. Love it! Thanks.
I'm not sure how well it would go down linking to download sites as I'm not entirely sure if it would count as piracy (against xda rules). This is a good place to talk about our favourite games and recommend them to each other.
Favourite games for me, paradroid 90, hunter, hero's quest, the settlers.
Did anyone try dune or dune 2 on n7? I'm curious to see how well it would work without a mouse for multi selection of units
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
Robocod used to be my favourite game.
A very fun and cute gameplay. I have to get a go at it again soon
Personally i dont remember many titles, I'll have to go through some floppy boxes and search online to put names on them.
Allso Lemmings. I heard It's made by some of the people who made the GrandTheftAuto series, who are known for great and revolutionary games. Not 100% sure about this though

You're quite right. Lemmings was developed by DMA Design, the same people that did the GTA series.
My favorites (among quite a few others) were Hunter, Ivan Reitman's Super Off-Road, Flight of the Amazon Queen, Speedball I & II, Stunt Car Racer, Another World, Super Cars II, Pinball Dreams, Slam Tilt, Cannon Fodder, Kick Off II and of course... Sensible World of Soccer (SWOS).
