Good purchase at this time?

Is this a good purchase right now? In the situation i'm in if I don't get this phone I will be stuck with my nexus s for 2 years so might as well get a new phone for the 2 years. Also do you guys think this will get CM9? Thanks.!

This phone is getting CM9 eventually. Cyanogen's update said it was coming after the international version s2 one rolls out.

Yo bro this is the best phone T-Mobile has believe me u won't be disappointed grab it. And yes we will get cm9 after the exynos devices. snapdragon is next and devices alike and were in this category

CM9 will come. This device is the top 3 devices out right now, and will still be relevant after a year or more.

short answer: yes

I took advantage of the FAR V-day sales last week. I was tempted to wait for the Galaxy Nexus, but it seem T-Mo is always the last one to get any decent phones. Since my Nexus One was showing its age, I ordered the GS2 and renewed a 2yr contract. I figured as long as the hw is capable of running custom ROM's, it really doesn't matter if it's the Galaxy Nexus or Galaxy S2.

you're correct, but the apq8060 and msm8X60 are pretty much the same thing.
i believe the difference is radio integration, but i don't know for sure.

ROTFL-COPTR dude.
By the time CM9 comes out, many other phones that are far better than the GS2 will be out, including the GS3.
If you really want CM, get a phone that supports it initially.

What phones would that be?

No we definitely need the drivers that's why we need Samsung to drop ics. Because building drivers from scratch is no easy task. It can be done but will take a while. That is why a lot of devs rather wait for that it will make life that much easier when compiling a rom. I know xboarder said he is building drivers tho. We need those for sound, touchscreen, and etc.. also cm prolly has already done this we will prolly see something from them before official

There was an article on rootz wiki where they interviewed cyanogen. he said they are waiting for drivers as well and this is what is delaying cm9 official builds.

Verizon roms to sprint roms..

I seem to always get in trouble for making a thread, or it goes unnoticed. just a question on how much work would it be to port over a Verizon gnex rom to sprint gnex? I'm not dev at all but I imagine it would only be a radio and some other small things. Again I could be missing the big picture, I just got my sprint gnex yesterday and I can't wait for highly custom roms! If its not to advanced I'd love to take a crack at it if anyone would be willing to teach me how
Mods move it to wherever you want....

Too me it just seems that something needs to be done with the radio as of now flashing a verizon rom works fine except for the radio which is data and whatnot. As soon as they get aosp running with mms fixed and find the radio so if the radio gets borked then I am sure those developers of the verizon roms could hopefully just add compatibility with sprint.
That is all I know as of now
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

why would you want that? the sprint rom is better

What makes it better though? Aren't they literally the exact same phone just different networks? I'm glad its better if it is I almost bought the Verizon one hahah

One is not better then the other
In fact like i said above Verizon roms almost fully work on ours except the radio, once they get that fixed i am sure we can share roms with verizon people but who knows? Our device is still brand new and will be a little bit til we have as many roms as verizons forum
BTW don't flash verizons roms until there is a radio fix some poor people have broken radios and are waiting as people are looking to fix it.
just in case you were thinking about flashing one

There is nothing superior about Sprint roms that isn't remedied by AOSP.
Now if you are talking about zip roms, tsk, tsk.
Those are a crime against humanity...er, the Nexus The device is open enough to not warrant such a thing.

They use differen radio frequencies, which the CPUs are programmed for. They are incompatible. That's what causes the data problems. That's just about the only difference in terms of hardware.

so here is a question:
Once we have the cdma radio pulled and mms working would there be anyway that verizon roms with a little modification to the radio and whatnot to get them working easily. or do they have to redo the whole rom special?

The only real difference from Sprint to Verizon are the ril props outside of the mms issue.
So, no, not hard, but just as easy for the devs to simple compile for Sprint.

Worth switching over?

Okay so I just dropped my HTC One S and it completely shattered the screen.
I'm getting a replacement and I'm going to sell that replacement.
Question to you is, how is the Galaxy Nexus?
I might get a 4.1 Jelly Bean one for $350 from the Play Store?
I know it's going from 1.5GHz to 1.2GHz but I'm not sure here, help?

It's not bad...depends on what you want. Everything except the camera is good on galaxy nexus.

You don't get it...

One S is pretty fast phone, and what I see here is it's going to get JB pretty soon.
Galaxy nexus is pretty laggy on ICS, but very smooth on JB.
So it's the matter of few months for One S and JB, if you want new OS ASAP GN all the way.

They said they're "working on Jellybean". NO SH~T they're working on it. Doesn't mean that its coming soon. Just look at the past... If you think that HTC will update the One series to 4.1 faster than they've done previous updates, you're losing your mind.

My GNex is hands down the best phone I've had. Camera isn't ideal but still works great to snap quick photos. JB basically made it a whole new phone... no lag at all and fantastic features.

and what does this suppose to do with the fact what I have said?
If you had exynos version you know what I mean.
But don't forget I'm rocking GN on jelly bean and loving it. But that doesn't mean I can't say some bad about it.

2 things to consider if I were you:
1. If you want the pure Google experience, not a hybrid vendor/android phone; definitely the GneX or wait until later in year for the Nexus line.
2. If you prefer a bit more "powerful" hardware right now, the Galaxy S III is the best option in my opinion. Of course you have to deal with Carrier lock and Samsung's TWiz running on top of Android OS.
Both are win win situations, just depends on your preference...

They need to test all of their bloatware to make sure it is compatible with Jelly Bean first. That might take a while... In all seriousness, just root and flash a custom ROM. You'll be much happier in the end.

When I first rooted my galaxy nexus, I saw no benefits and regretted it.
Then I got on XDA and realized WTF is wrong with me!?!?!? Rooting the SHIIIIEEET!!!

Well I have been rooting Android devices since G1 (Nexus 1, Desire and LG P990). I have got sick and tired of it and bought Galaxy Nexus just because there is no need to do it. I know I could do it but I dont want to bother with wipe.
Besides, I have bought my device in Europe and it is not connected to Verizon in any way and there is no Verizon bloatware in my phone, it is pure AOSP as far as I can tell.

Well with several devices I mean most images on this site: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#mysid
It might be only 2 devices but there are so many versions. See what I mean?

According to a Verizon tech at a store near me he has never even heard of Jelly Bean. I mentioned it to him and he looked at me like I was a moron and said ICS is the most recent OS lol. This was about 2 weeks ago.

you can flash stock roms, but you will not get the update. however, once the official images get placed on google's site, you can convert back to those images and then get all updates.

woah wait.. i didnt even read what efrant quoted.
are you using a GSM phone? you're not a on a toro phone, you're on a maguro phone. just go flash the factory images.

[Q] how come there are no custom roms for this phone?

Just checked the development forums and they are basically empty.
Is it just that the phone is new? Or has there been no way to root it yet? I'm thinking of getting this phone but I'd like to know if I'll have the option of rooting/loading a custom ROM.
One last question - is this phone any different then the nexus? it seems to have the same hardware other then a better camera and have LTE.
Thanks

Nexus 4 is optimus G with no amplifiers/filters for LTE, less storage, different camera, wireless charger, RGB led.
No roms cause thats the international version section, its still kinda rare and the boot still locked.
