Hi guys,
I decided that some things could be improved on the machine.
Turned out that my new idea was a complete FAIL.
So I wen't back to the drawingboard and this is what I came up with
It uses much less parts (again). And it's way more compact.
It's not that modular anymore, but who cares. It will now fit in a bag easily anyway.
See it in action in the vid below and check out the pics for some details.
Pics of the old builds are kept for comparison
Cheers,
Daan

It does yes. The photosphere feature works best when te camera lens is panning and tilting around itself

Haha, all in all it took me about three or four hours on the first build I think.
And about an hour or two to finish the upgrade with the tilting-motor at the bottom.

edit: The compass is acting up I think. I can't get it to take good photspheres. Really strange. Anyone has experience with this?
It's rotating towards the blue dot while it's not moving, as if it's dizzy
Build 3 was panning too slow so had too speed it up a bit.
For some strange reason it got dizzy when moving too slow
More results!

Hey guys, I put out my first app into the android market independently and just thought I'd pimp it here. It's a 37 signals campfire client that's made specifically for the galaxy nexus. It's super ice cream sandwichy and is buttery smooth to use. I couldn't find a campfire client on android that was really good looking so I made my own. Check it out.

Looks like a chat room, $5 though.... I think I'll pass if it's just a chat room.
And you should add a black version, consumes less power on AMOLED displays.

I think $5 is fair. For a really good quality app, it'll cost some money. I put a ton of time into making this thing both look good and function super well.
Aesthetically you did a nice job, and as a graphic artist I think 4.99 for hardwork and a nice app is more than reasonable.
The Ui is perfect great Work!!
I love the ics style
As the title states lets see what is important to us. You can only pick one thing, that's the point. I know we kinda like the whole package but that's too easy.
Edit:
If the Soft Nav Buttons are your thing pick ICS Flagship.

There's a bunch. Love the shape. Love the screen, faults and all. But for me, it's a Nexus and the flagship for the OS that puts Android--in my opinion--over the top.

The resolution by far.
Looking at any other phone looks silly in-comparison for the sheer lack-luster resolution alone.
being able to screen grab without needing to root the device. I guess that would be flagship ICS right?

The camera? Me thinks the camera on the SGN is very laggy and hard to use. I've have two SGNs and on both the camera makes is a classic "blurrycam."
I think my Blackberry Bold had a better camera.

Check out the Pics thread a couple slots down. People can take some amazing pictures with this camera if you know what you are doing.
It was a touch choice, but I picked ICS Flagship. I chose the Nexus because I liked that while my phone will fall behind hardware wise in a few months, the software will always stay current. After the T-Mobile/Vibrant fiasco, this was really important.
The screen is a very close second. I love AMOLED and the size of the screen. Also like the warm color tone. Reading with the Kindle app and in night mode is really easy on the eyes.

It isn't a 'plus' display. It's an HD Super AMOLED. 'Plus' displays have an RGB matrix, while our phone has a PenTile matrix.
That being said, the screen is probably my favorite feature. The sheer resolution is amazing.

This causes momentary pockets of high pressure which act as lenses, deflecting cosmic rays, focusing them to strike the drive platter and flip the desired bit. That's how real programmers do it.

Take 2

used - Duplicolor Vinyl/Fabric spray and adhesion promoter.
Steps
wet sand the body and battery cover with 800 grit sandpaper until all paint on the housing is gone (will take some time) and the samsung and google logo on battery back is black (will also take some time).
A layer of adhesion promoter, left to dry for 10 minutes
followed by 5-6 layers of Duplicolor at interwals of 20 mins each.
after final coat leave to dry for 4 hours and we are good.

Maybe it's because of the blurry pictures, but the paint looks a bit dull. Other than that I can tell you took great care in painting it, I mean, it certainly looks like it is very well done.

I think that on android police there was pre review. They took some photos and said, the back isn't that sparkly. Marketing photos over exaggerate back panel...

I agree it's design looks creepy, metaphorically speaking.
IMO the Nexus 4 looks like a fake Gnex, but I'm sure it's looks will grow on me.
Well, to my mind, the idea of those dots on back side is good, it looks new and unusual (I mean new in the mobile phone world, generally it reminds some old Chinese toys), but for me it has some significant shortcomings:
straight. Galaxy Nexus has a kind of wave there, and a small hill at the bottom helped to grab it more confident, this one appears to be hold only due to glass-to-skin rubbing;
glass. If you don't like fingerprints and tried to clean the front side of GN every time after touching it, now you have to clean both sides and you just cannot hold it without setting you fingerprints everywhere.
feel. Cold glass is going to feel much more impersonal and indifferent, than the GN's plastic, even if it is not soft-touch.
So I would say it looks more weird, than creepy.
Don't worry. Once it gets dropped a couple times the sparkley look will change to the shattered look.
The only creepy part is when you drop it the wrong way; the dots will be replaced by jagged lines.
Well the back glass is supposed to be a Lil sunk in from the band around it.... not sure if that matters. So when it lays on the table the glass won't be touching it. So maybe it will protect it somewhat
