^ Nope, in fact you can even root without unlocking the bootloader and wiping your data

Are you the Guy over at Thunderbolt whose TB bit the dust?
Haha welcome, I think more GalNex owners had the Thunderbolt than any other phone, we just got hit so bad with waiting for ICS, none of us want that wait and uncertainty ever again.

Been playing with it all day, getting a feel for phone and battery. Ive git a 2350 battery in it i believe, and life seems pretty good. It did update to jb, and im amazed how fast phone is. If i had a good secure wifi tether, id almost not root, lol! Nah, i gotta see what this thing will do. Really liking so far though.

Should i update radios? Runnin liquid now, no 4g.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

Do yourself a favor and if you haven't yet already learn adb and fastboot command lines there is no need for a toolkit for this phone. And to answer your radio question unlike the thunderbolt any radio combination works on any ROM you can update or change radios to see if they help you out but it shouldn't matter if you're getting 4g or not. Plus these roms never include radios..well from what I have seen all the radios can be flashed separately through the bootloader or some people have made flashable zips containing them.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

1. Get Gnex
2. Root/Unlock
3. Flash new radios
4. Flash new bootloader
5. Flash new ROM - I would vouch for Codename Android with Faux's kernel
that's my recommendation plan

Brace yourself, flash addiction is comimg.

How is the S III development on AT&T ?

I placed a order for the S III since Verizon can't get my area straight for the nexus. So I was hoping to see how the development was going for the att brand ?

All of the ROMs are the best for somebody. You just have to find out which one is best for you. It's a DIY project by nature.

No ones really sure if there is but he can upgrade his HTC evo for a Gnex for like 100$ so I told him go for it

Because I can get the old one for 99 bucks and the new nexus is sure to be over 500 dollars and being as I am a single dad in limited income I can deal w the old one but thanks I didn't know a new one was even comming out lol

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
well, yeah, that's what I feel like writing, because it's such a pointless question. you want to know what people use more? check number of pages of every rom thread and you'll know what most people are using. same with kernels. then read those threads, get the device, and enjoy flashing from day 1 you get the device, already knowing before hand what is it that you can expect (approximately, since, most of all, every device is different) from X release of X rom or kernel.
not to mention that must be there like lot's of threads on this theme, and that's it's a rather subjective/personal one.

Rom for Verizon on a GSM Nexus???

Hey people,
I'd like to put mmuzzy's rom on my gnex as it runs like lightning on my Nexus 7. But it seems to be only available in the Verizon+Sprint sections.
Im from Ireland which is all gsm so i have never ventured into the Verizon or sprint sections on xda.
Im just wondering if it can be done or if ill run into any issues?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
It would have to be ported to a gsm nexus. U can't flash a Verizon or sprint ROM to your phone.

Finally got my vzw gnex

So I decided to get q gnex off of eBay. So far I like it. I dont need anything high speed and this does all I need.
I look forward to rooting this thing but I need to refresh my use of adb as well as set it up again lol.
I look forward to using this phone for the next while, and hope to maybe add to the community!

i got mine off of Ebay a week ago too and its pretty great. the battery life actually had me thinking i got a defective one though, or at least a bad battery. trying to get a good 12 hour day out of it
Same as me. Came from a galaxy s+
Only doubt is if it will be officially supported for the next android version.
But hardware wise, it's still a great phone and has margin of improvements so it will be unofficially supported and running great I guess. Would be nice to know your opinions.

I used to be dankblaze over in the Dinc2 section. First thing I recommend when you root is AK Cylon kernels. You get incredible battery with them. I even made specific setting for them that became quite popular.

You should definitely unlock and root before you go loading it up with apps. Unlocking the boot loader completely wipes it.

Hands down the worst supported phone I owned. I had the og droid before it and switched to my wife's fassy for a bit because I couldn't take it. The fassy was pretty good on helly bean 4.2.2 but much happier with the gnex eve on 4.1.1
