Hey guys, will be getting my Nexus 7 installed in my car probably within the next month or so, and was curious as to what those of you who have done this already were using for themes? To give you an idea, I did like the look of Chameleon launcher, though stayed away due to the not so great reviews.. but anything similar out there? Or maybe even things I have not heard of or thought of yet, thanks.

Hey guys,
I saw on twitter that the Android Open Kang Project rom that is on the Galaxy Nexus was ported to the evo 4g by someone. I asked a couple of times where I could find it but I haven't heard anything. The rom runs so good on my nexus. I know it might not be as good on the evo but I'd like to toss it on my girlfriends phone. Has anyone seen the port anywhere?

Hi Everyone!
Currently, I have the Nexus 7 which I LOVE and it is my first Android device too. I am thinking of getting a Android phone now (from iPhone 4S) and I am really interested in the unlocked Galaxy Nexus from GPlay since it is so cheap and I think a GREAT deal for the 'top of the line' phone since it is a Nexus. My question to you is, why would I need a Android phone if I have a Android tablet? I had an iPad before my N7 and got bored of it because my phone was also iOS and very similar. So I am worried the same will happen with my N7 and Android phone...
Also, if I do decide to get an Android phone (with the help/suggestions from you guys as to why to get it), I will defintetly get a Nexus phone. I know the current GNexus on the Play store cam out 'unlocked' 5mths after release. So if the Nexus '2' comes our November, it will be out in the Play store around April/May which is a long time from now. Will it be worth the wait or should I just get the current Nexus? Also, do you think the price of the current GNexus on Play will drop *even though it is already pretty low* when the Nexus '2' comes out?
Thanks and I am looking forward to your input!

You already have a nexus tablet. Trade the 4s for the 5 when it comes out.

Get the next nexus bro. Do you want a phone or a status symbol.

I'd say its difficult to get bored of Android, because you have it on both devices.
You could always just "spruce" it up a bit. Change launchers, theme said launchers, install a ROM that supports themes, etc...

Personally I would wait for the next Nexus phone. The 4S is a good phone so it should hold you off until the next Nexus release (unless you can't resist buying the iPhone 5 lol). Getting a Galaxy Nexus right now is a good bargain but unless you really need to save the money you might as well wait for the latest one which will be future proof for another year.

Thanks everyone for the replies! It looks like I am going to wait for the next Nexus phone then get it from GPlay a couple months later.

That is very true since it is much more open than iOS.

On the other hand, the Nexus 7 was on the Play Store within negative two weeks after release.
April/May was the first deployment of the devices store; now that it's been set up there's no reason the new Nexus wouldn't be available right away.

Well, truth be told I've been neglecting my phone ever since the tablet came out. Bigger screen is just more addictive for doing all the things I do. Only time I've really been using my phone is during transit and to tether the tablet
I think this would be true regardless of which phone I had though (short of an app that was only available on my phone). I wouldn't say I was "bored" of it, just that the occasion hasn't really come up. My phone looks nothing like the tablet (it's running Salad Bar with Launcher 7, which doesn't scale very well to tablets).

It makes sense; I would guess so. There's no evidence whatsoever though.
Finally, as to whether you should wait for the next Nexus, definitely. Your iPhone's not going anywhere until then, and you'll be treated to either a more powerful phone or a likely discount of the previous phone.
OK here is what I'm planning on doing when I buy my N7.
I'm gonna put MIUI or Paranoid Android on my GNex so I don't get bored.
This will give me two completely different OS experience.

If I have helped you.... hit that sexy thanks button. ^_^
remember boys and girls, supporting Apple is supporting terrorism. I'm not even joking.
Get yourself a GS3. Bootloader is unlocked and it's like having a Nexus device with 3x battery life. I'm sure the next Nexus phone (nexus 8?) will be as good but it may not be out until Android 5.0 (12 months?). GS3 is a beast, I have both GN and GS3.
With black friday coming up, it's inevitably that the GS3 will be on sale. My question is, with the Nexus 4 coming out, is the GS3 still worth my upgrade? I don't know what I want to do right now, the Nexus doesn't have LTE and living in the SF Bay Area, I actually have access to LTE. But, the Nexus is quad core, and has updates as it comes out. Another question I have has to do with custom roms, specifically CM10. How stable are these releases when it comes to all the features such as camera, etc? And how's battery life? Lastly, does anyone know how the auto updater works? Is it basically like regular OTA's from any other company? Or would I have to reflash every time and update comes out?
Anyone else also stuck in the same predicament, feel free to use this thread to discuss pros and cons of each phone.
We already have a few nexus 4 or gs3 threads in here... The concensus is get the SGSIII. Cm10 is as good as the nexus variant. OTA Updater works if the dev is using it. Just Google it to see how it works.. Pretty simple.

Sorry about that, I didn't see them, but I'll be sure to search harder next time. Thanks for the information though
The s3 is my first Android device but I absolutely love this thing. There is great dev support around here so we're never behind as far as OS updates go. Personally the quad core benefits would be minimal for me in day to day use. And, the inclusion of LTE on the s3 makes it a significant plus in my book.
Sams will be selling the S3 for 99 cents on black friday with 2 year contract
Just get the S3 for now and try it. If you don't like it ENOUGH, return it before the grace period is up. No one here can tell you what you will like/dislike about the phone. That's up to you

Hello,
I am coming back to android for the first time since I had my HTC Legend about 3 years ago. I now have a Galaxy Note II and would really like to modify my theme to something more minimalistic as I do not really care for TouchWiz. I am wondering if anyone as some suggestions on how to go about doing it (something like Chocolate on minimal android) also would it require rooting the device? I am not sure if I will be able to since I am using it for work and I do not believe I can add my exchange account email if the phone has been rooted (I am however willing to try). Sorry if this has come up 1000's of times already, I have been trying to research it however keep coming up short.
Thanks,
David
Android police was able to get these "leaked" pics of the new nexus 7 with a new wallpaper. The wallpaper looks nice and I was wondering if anyone could find it or make a custom version of it. Someone made a custom version on Photoshop and posted it in the comments on the android police article but it had black lines in between the colors and didn't look as good but I will post it here just on case someone can edit it and get rid of the lines. I would be incredibly grateful if someone could get one that looks identical to this one
