Nice review is this the gsm version of the GNEX or cdma

id put up with the graphics bugs if the GPS was working and use kitkat permanently. hopefully someone can fix it at some point.

Thanks for the nice review! It really helped my decide which rom I would choose.

No problem!

Nice vid!
Now to wait until there's a PA 4.4 version custom ROM released OR any other ROM with tablet and extended desktop modes.
I'm still running/loving 4.1.2 PA 2.54 for over a year now, so will likely be just testing out any new 4.4 ROMs.

Hi, nice review but I would like to know, is there any stock sms app? I don't really like the hangouts one thanks

You can choose to use Hangouts or messaging app, you set a default

Gnex still works fine on 4.4. Why google doesn't provide the update...

I already know that, but I want to know if there is a stock sms app, like in 4.3 and below, if when I install 4.4 I have the choice between hangouts and stock sms app, or if I have to download one. Thanks

You won't see no official updates for a while.. you'll find leaks here and there come up..
Far as CM10.1.. recently posted on their G+ they said that they have 4.2 running smooth on Exynos 4 chips.. not as smooth as Project butter.. but just your normal AOSP build

CK WINTER EDITION ROM

CK WINTER EDITION ROM
Klquicksall and I, made this litte release as we like stock rom, so we added Facebook contacts sync by "Phoenix Wright" and Quicksettings by kevdliu and CM apm mod.
With time we probably will make more things to the rom, but hey gotta start somewhere.
We come from HTC Sense rom cooking, where we made RCMix roms for DesireHD, and I started out with HTC Magic (sapphire) but time to change and try new things.​
This rom is based of Google Factory image JOP40D (maguro)
Changelog:
V1.0
Updated all apps in system
Added Facebook app
Added Twitter app
Added Dropbox app
Rooted with SuperSU (Thx chainfire)
Deodexed (Thx Dsixda kitchen)
Added CM Advance power menu with different reboots (Thx CM)
Quicksettings (Thx kevdliu)
Added Counterfeit 0.1 OC kernel by Klquicksall (Git link in siganture)
Added HTC Sense alarm tones
Added flash player
If you wanna use mods, make sure you find them for stock rom

Exactly! Sense is visually attractive, but in my opinion, AOSP based stuff nearly always trumps Sense every time in every way.
Question, if you ever want to bring this thing to the Toroplus, I'd be glad to help out, seeing that it's my phone. Hahah.

depends on which gnex you have. i think the gsm versions are available in the ubuntu touch website. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Install
if you have the toro or toroplus (cdma) we have to wait for some good soul to port them.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I saw on their page that nothing telephony related is really working right now, which kind of kills any chance of using the phone as a phone for daily use. Since I've switched to the HTC One though, I'm seriously looking into this (since obviously the radios aren't of much use to me at present).

You can already flash it through (custom) recovery since the first released version, no need for linux.

agree. I tried a few times because I got curious and can't wait to see.
The first time is when It's just launched. And I got disappointed, and realize that it's just a developer preview.
Then in a few months, I try again but nothing looks changed (as a user) and I switch back to Android instantly.
Then they said it'll be usable as a daily driver by the end of May. I tried a week ago, but no luck. Still buggy, and I can't say it could be used as a daily driver.
Let's wait until it's 'finished'.
really missing the multitasking button in ubuntu
certainly ubuntu will come up much better but i badly miss the multitasking button in ubuntu hope they have a btter idea...

Getting Ubuntu Touch out to more users

The unstoppable Sergio Schvezov is working on bug 1201811 right now. Once it's fixed this should put is into a position where users of devices for which we have Ubuntu Touch images (and not just the four devices we supported right from the start) can just use phablet-flash. This doesn't mean that they are "officially supported" or that they're built daily in the Canonical data centre, but that you can make use of the images much more easily.
Over time we still want to build more images in the data centre in a regular fashion. One of the big blockers there has been information about the redistributability of firwmare, blobs and closed kernel modules. If you have information about the licenses any of these, it'd be great if you could help with updating the Touch device pages.
On Thursday, 1st August we are going to hold a Ubuntu Touch Porting Clinic in #ubuntu-touch on irc.freenode.net where you will be able to ask all the questions you have and our local experts can help you with updating your image(s) to the new world order. We hope to see you there!

Without adding support for CDMA I suspect this idea with sizzle out rather then take off. Just my two cents. I'm a Verizon user and was super excited to see this... But since CDMA support was announced not to be on the roadmap I've almost forgotten about the project, not a good thing. Good luck

I try ubuntu touch for 2 days in my galaxy nexus (maguro) and i think it work quite well but it isn't for daily use yet.
There aren't bugs in that MobileOS (or I haven't found these bugs) but the biggest problem is the laggy (too much laggy because the kernel isn't optimized for UubuntuTouch). I appreciate the canonical's work and I wish I'll able to use this OS daily
