If you head over to r/GalaxyNexus you will have great success in finding some answers.

Let me start by saying that this is a repost of my original submission. I understand it's easy to recycle content like this, but I'd appreciate it if you didn't take advantage of my hilarious cat.

Here's a picture of her now on the same chair to verify.

edit: downvotes?

Definitely agree. This is a great example of well implemented ICS design guidelines.

It does have a very clean and simple interface, which I really like. Most of my problems were with the widget.

I'll give it a try again and see how I feel after a week or so of use.

Honestly, I have yet to find a 'blow my mind' task app. If there's one productivity app that, in my opinion, Android is lacking, it's a simple, elegant and efficient task/to-do manager.

I've tried Any.DO and I've tried Astrid. They overwhelm me with options and settings that I often get discouraged to even start typing in the task. I would like to get in the app, type my thing and (maybe) set a date and then get out. Preferably, all with in less than 6 seconds.

With all that being said, the only task app that I haven't neglected after installing is Gtasks. It's simple/efficient enough that I actually don't mind using it. I feel like it actually enhances my task lists versus forcing me to sit there and manage them.

It seems to happen almost randomly on self posts in all sorts of subreddits. As it's probably somewhat relevant, I'm running AOKP (4.0.3) on the LTE Galaxy Nexus.

MWC is coming up in about a week. I would at least wait until then to see what possible options you might have in the near future.

I think the reason that first ROM flash is scary is because of the fear of not being able to 'undo' it if something goes wrong. Almost all ROM directions recommend you make a back-up before you proceed; this really is the best advice. If for whatever reason something messes up in the mostly automated process, you can always revert back to your phone's original software experience by restoring a back up.

Other people have recommended this but, ROM Manager makes the process easier than petting a dog (not really).

Ya. I'd assume that they'll eventually make it available to more areas around town.

Two weeks ago the highest speed they offered over here was like 7 Mbps. Now it's a whooping 35!

dying_fetus · 3 months

It depends on your location in Flag. They're offering it on the southeast side for sure. Other areas of town I'm not too sure about.

CenturyLink is now providing upwards of 35 Mbps in certain locations with a $35 a month promotional offer. This is by far and away the best deal in Flagtown.

The difference in scrolling smoothness is night and day; thanks much for implementing hardware acceleration.

You mentioned something regarding an update to ICS style UI refresh. When could we expect to see this? Also, I'm no developer, but it seems like implementing something hardware based (acceleration) should be more difficult/complicated a process then updating the aesthetics. Could you elaborate on the processes?

I'm a huge fan of what you've done with this app. Thank you much!

There was a post a while back asking very similar questions to yours. I felt that the this comment was particularly insightful.

Hope that helps.

It's been my understanding that wifi is the most efficient (both for battery and performance) of all the different connections; drawing less power/byte.

What I've read has implied the opposite of what you're suggesting: having the wifi connection sleep while not in use causes the 3g radio to toggle on and thus consumes more power. Forcing the wifi connection not to sleep prevents the phone from reverting to the supposed less efficient 3g radio. I know this was the standard strategy for stretching out battery life on the DInc. Like you pointed out, this would be a good approach if wifi was in fact the least power draining of all the radios.

Now, how much power these radios drain while idle (not consuming data) is a good question that I have not seen thoroughly answered for the G-Nex.

AdvisablyRed · 4 months

Great post. I do have a question about this:

setting in stock ICS to disable WiFi when the phone is sleeping/screen off - this seems to save a ton of power in periods of time when your phone isn't doing much

From what I've read from other battery saving tips and tricks posts, having the wifi radio toggling off causes the phone to revert to the 3g radio consuming more power.

Is the case different with the G-Nex? Just curious.

I still can't find any verizon document that indicates a December 15th launch... What am I doing wrong?

GAH! Great post. Cleared up a few tid bits of my confusion. Thanks.

These are great questions. I see a lot of root-ish questions flow in and out of this subreddit and this shows that you're covering all your bases. I think a lot of other potential rooters have very similar questions. I'm no expert, but I'll try to answer as best I can.

I want to say that most rooting methods require you to be connected to your computer. I think this is, primarily, to transfer files to and from the phone or running scripts and other nerd things (idk). If you're asking if you need to 'tether' your internet connection to your computer from your phone: no.
Not sure about this. I do know that you can back up your phone via nandroid. Typically (for rooting my Incredible), it is installed along with the root program/process.
When acquiring root, all you're really doing is gaining access to be able to modify the "root" folder. I think this stems from linux systems. The root folder is the 'deepest' folder that contains a lot of important file system information. Typical users are restricted from this access to prevent negligent file deletions and shit.
In androidian, a ROM is simply a modified version of the Android OS. Popular forms include CyanogenMod and MIUI. ROMs define the entire software environment of your phone. An app is like a kid playing in the environment (sorry if that seemed like oversimplification).
I kinda answered this in 4. Your assumptions are kinda accurate. The application of superuser and all that other stuff is typically done by the rooting software to allow you to take advantage of your new file directory privileges. I think superuser basically just regulates which apps can have root access.
This question I would love to have someone who knows 'what's up' answer. This is my definition: ClockworkMod is the equivalent to a computer's BIOS screen. It allows you to do some basic (but profound) changes to your phone (applying back ups/flashing zip files, yada yada). ROM Manager is an app (by the same developer) that makes navigating/applying ROMs and Clockwork back ups easy and straightforward. Not sure how nandroid plays into all that.

Flippin' awesome questions. I had a lot of fun pullin' all that nerd junk out of my brain. Hope this helps you and possibly others!
