Yes. I use Avast - a lot of people people may say no need for one but with the amount of scare mongering that goes on these days I rather not be the one being told 'I told you so'.

no you dont need to but if you have the habit of downloading from unknown or untrustworthy sources then get an antivirus. The best protection against any virus is common sense.

I feel the same way. The stock ICS seems to be a lot faster than the MCR's at the moment - not sure why.
The only reason to root is to get things such as Ad Free, Full Backups, Underclock CPU when screen off, Apply Paul's UI tweaks.
Obviously things will grow in the future. If you do it now, then you dont risk the chance of losing the ability to in the future (doubtful that will ever happen with a Nexus)

Here's a much better question OP... Any reason to not root it?
The big ones for me are AdFree and Titanium Backup.
To improve battery life.

This is the first Android OS where it seem so much useable and stable, that I see no use to root. This coming from a primarily IOS guy. I hope I don't have to root.

I will only root if a kernel with ridiculous battery life surfaces. Otherwise this may be the first Android phone I really see no reason rooting. Strange thought.

If you are here, you should root. Ad free and Titanium back up are worth it by themselves.

AdFree is pretty silly IMO. Blocking connections using the host file? Really? I guess the creators don't know what a firewall is or how to use iptables.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I927R using XDA
I did, but then I got rid of it because it caused it to sleep-die frequently. But lately, my phone has been sleep-dying regardless. It does make it faster, but with the high frequency of deaths, it was annoying to keep running it every time i turned the phone back on.

Used it ... switched to RAM Manager (Pro).
It avoids using ram scripts & tweaks.
Works great since then.
Why? Android is perfect, just the way google made it. If you don't want multitasking, get an iphone.

Which version do you mean?
And why does Google keeps changing it?
Or is perfect with each change?
And why, with ICS, does Google make minfrees dynamic ie. different depending on a devices RAM instead of them being the same on every device like it was before?
And why did they do that after I did?
Hell, why did htc copy my bulletproof launcher on a recent stock rom for the One X by giving it a priority of 0?
Here is why.

I cant really say i use many websites on my mobile phone that require flash natively but this is a bummer. So i take it Google Chrome Mobile in JB is html 4 not 5? And so if JB doesnt support flash natively, whats Google to do? I dont think they can just leave it out. Hopefully they find an alternative.

They did leave it out and I'm glad, and it supports html5 not 4, this isn't 1999 anymore, we need to start using html5 and thankfully Google is pushing it. Soon we will see more and more sites make the switch and you won't know the difference. I honestly don't see many sites using flash too much.

I still party like it is.
As long as I can still surf the web like I do on my phone now. I don't care really. Flash is outdated there is no arguing that. Its all about the her experience. If HTML5 Leads to a better experience then I'm all for it.
I rarely use flash. I just update Firefox to 14 which has native flash built in but then I later installed Flash giving 100% access to flash stuff on sites. If its a youtube video embedded i much prefer to get sent to the mobile app.
Smart designers do not incorporate important elements using flash. For the most part that just leaves flash games and non standard video players.
Overall people hardly use Flash... plus I'm betting XDA users will find a way to make it work on JB.

While the early Android phones were just iPhone clones and Apple had a right to be passed, anyone who confuses an iPhone for a Galaxy Nexus is a moron. Software patents need to go, code copyrights are enough. Patenting software is like patenting horror movies.

hi guys, i'm wondering about the Disadvantages of Rooting the specially G.nexus ?
thanks
If you know what you are doing or have the ability to read carefully... none, it's a amazing thing!!! Your phone will be a Lion among a herd of yaks.
If you do not posses either of those two things, it's scary bad. I'm not trying to be mean but thats the honest truth. I have rooted peoples phones for them and some left to their own devices have managed to make their phones slower and laggier than stock ever good be with many things not working or barely working. It's usually they skipped a step or changed a setting they shouldn't have.
Why the double thread?

Some people like stock devices.
1.) You'll never be happy with an unrooted phone ever again.
2.) Your friends will be like "Can you show me how to root?"
Only ones I can think of.

There's no disadvantage. You only gain function. Root is the equivalent of having admin access on your computer. There's no reason why you'd want to not have admin/root access to your phone.

Symptoms of rooting may include:
•
nightmares
•
flashbacks
•
emotional detachment or numbing of feelings
•
insomnia
•
irritability
•
hyper-vigilance
•
avoidance of reminders
•
excessive startle response
•
memory loss
•
self-medication through increased alcohol use or turning to drugs.
The only disadvantage is that you can't rent movies from the Play Store. It won't let you watch them if your rooted.
Other then that, nothing. Rooted just means you have admin access to certain folders normally that are read only.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
If you have to ask this question, then you probably don't need to root the phone.
You have to be careful with what you flash that is rooted. There is a developer I've seen in the Gnex section that worked with another that was putting keyloggers and crap into his rom. He still deals with him to this day.
I rock my Gnex unrooted mostly, I'll flash a rom for a week and see how it goes. Build a kernel and see how long until I get sick of force closes and reboots. My phone is more of a toy, there is absolutely nothing important I do on my phone and I like to keep it that way.
Worst part of rooting is everyone asking me how to root theirs.

Hey guys, I'm back again with a question.
So, some people that has "addicted" to this device loves this device so much, so even if he/she lost it. They will buy a new one.
As for user who can't afford it, they usually will stop. But in my question here,
Is there any emulator that can emulate our Galaxy W 100% (or 90%) ?
So devs/users that lost/gave it to the others/sold it can still contribute here.

Yep, that's my point. So I'm looking for it. The one which simulates the 'behavior' of any device. So it will act like it is really 352 MB (depending on RAM the device has), and it acts like: 'Whoa! I have to be overclocked! It's still has some lag!' or 'Hmm, this game is not supporting me ' or whatever do you imagine that.
