I unlocked and flashed my friends GN to 4.1.1 last night, and it was RIDICULOUSLY easy, even more so than when I flashed mine when JB came out. I used this guide.

Everything is automatic now, the flashing of the radio and system, and all the other stuff. Amazing stuff.

There's two ways, once is a temp unroot and the other is a permament. Not sure which superuser app you're using, but if you look inside the settings both options might be in there.

You can still use Google Wallet with root btw. It just says "unsupported" on the top.

I would just use the roms people talk about here. I think it's more about the kernel though. Kernels that come with roms seem to be good enough, or you could use franco kernels.

Anyone else getting Reboots on Xenon HD when the screen sleeps? I've flashed & Factory reset this thing enough times to know it's not a bad flash. Changing kernels doesn't change the behavior at all.

Of the 3 versions I've used I don't remember any random reboots. I'm on CNA now though.

Dropped my Nexus onto concrete as well. There is a dent in the corner, and the back plate no longer sits flush ( it has a slight bubble effect), but performance of the phone itself is the same.

I was using Xenon before switching to CNA and I don't see any differences in that regard. Then again I don't mess with kernels so who knows what is being run in terms of overclocking etc.

Easier said than done. That's why there are cases, some that practically double the size of the phone, and insurance.

I had version 7 at the time. I noticed there was an update on the 12th, and I think I was using the version from the 11th, but I still had reboot issues after flashing. Strangely enough after posting, I no longer had screen-off reboots. Minecraft runs like ass, though, whereas on vicious JB AOSP V1, I never had it stutter or lag. I'll try 9.0 maybe tomorrow. :)

I wanted to try codename android, but isn't he the dude that steals other people's code?

I have a case on my phone. As long as it doesn't land face-down on a corner and shatter the screen, I think my phone will survive.

Had this phone for over a month now and really enjoying it. I have 2 negatives though. One is the size, this phone is pretty big and from now on I will not go bigger. To me it is the upper limits on how big a phone should be. A tad smaller and it would be perfect. The other is the battery life. Having to charge the phone at least twice daily. Other than that I am really enjoying vanilla Android. My previous phones where HTC running sense.

Not really. I had a gs2 for no more than a month and got a scratch on it. I've had the gnex for 4 months and not a single scratch and I've dropped it 3 times once on concrete, twice on hardwood. I would say the glass is alright.

If you're willing to root your device, you may be able to improve battery life. I go to sleep with my device at 30-60% remaining depending on my usage. On stock I had to emergency charge sometimes.

The data connection on my Verizon Tuna went down for most of the day. Verizon has had outages before but never this long. But then it came back up and for the first time ever out here, the 4G icon showed up next to the signal bars! Yes, Verizon 4G LTE has finally come to my market! I must be in the 75% of US population!

They don't have my most cherished feature: long pressing to switch tracks.

It's ok though cause AOKP build 1 feels very smooth (like I may be able to tell a difference, lol) and has some new features that Xenon HD didn't have (but Codename probably already implemented from the AOKP nightlys).

I hope that they start belting out these builds every few days. Because I want to see all the features I had in milestone 6 back.

One thing that I NEVER touched was the settings with the colors. Well AOKP has in device options display settings where you can change the color multipliers and color gamma. I usually didn't ever mess with this stuff, but when I went here, it turns out that there a preset settings including CM Sett. After easily applying all the CM settings, everything looks darker, but has a higher contrast. I'm going to roll with this for a while and see how much this helps battery life. In addition, I'm going to stick with faux and see how it does battery life. It's annoying to try to figure out which kernel is the best for you.

What I don't like is that the GAPPS aren't allowing me to sync my Picasa account in the Gallery app.

But if I switch the GAPPS out for another which does sync, I then lose my GPS lock. Ehh...I need my Gallery sync.

If true, I'm guessing google wants to keep the $350 price point and is simply going to do a spec bump to an OMAP 4470. I'm not sold on this based on the fact that it claims to have an SD card slot and google has very clear reasons why they've been omitted on the past 3 nexus devices.

Well, the Nexus team isn't philosophically opposed to it nor do they need storage tiers for boost their profit margins (a la Apple). A member of the Android team explained a bit last year:

So.. Duarte to the rescue? A revolutionary file system UI (instead of throwing the baby out with the bathwater) would be huge.
