No news about yakjuxw yet for JB4.2 yet?

It's kind of disappointing that other phones are receiving the update but GN yakjuxw. This suppose to a pure google phone. :(

Yeah, but apparently, anything non-takju or -yakju are under Samsung's mercy. That's why I decided to flash Takju when JB came out; my yakjuxw was still at 4.0.2 by then!

But to answer the question, I think it's still at 4.1 according to the sticky on XDA, so nope, still no luck.

So anybody else tried the Ubuntu Touch for the GNex? Tried it and it looks really promising. It really can't be used as a daily driver as of the moment but the platform really looks cool.

Flashed back to Android after 10 mins though. I did keep a back-up of it and will probably play with it later.

I was using it since yesterday and I also posted some links for our kapwa Pilipino to try Ubuntu, but as per the Press Release it's just for development use so that Android devs will have a chance to look at it and if interested will make some apps for it. So on the other hand it's not for a daily driver, it's just a sneak peak for us people. :D But, it's nice and just look's like the desktop version(I'm currently using 12.04) just give it ample time and we will be able to have it as a daily rom. The only thing that sucks, is that there are no softkeys, it's kinda hardnto navigate if you're used to Android that has softkeys, anyhows, thumb's up for Canonical for the Pre release of Ubuntu OS for phones!

I was surfing the net then I stumbled upon sulit looking for the current price of our device, and upon searching, I didn't know that there's a lot of people that are having a profit in Unlocking bootloaders, rooting android devices and installing Custom ROMS. They are Ranging from 300 - 500php. That was a nice business even though it only has a small profit. But, the nicest thing there is, a lot of our kababayan's are really into Android devices, and upon seeing the posts there, they're a lot of people really looking to have their Android device rooted, thanks to the people who make a profit out of rooting services, a lot of our kababayan's are getting exposed on how rooting benefits their Android devices.

I don't think they release their own, you'll get updates straight from Google and/or here in xda ;)

Stock ROM, custom user.

Smart units had yakjuxw. They have long stopped releasing this though. I don't think it's still available thru them

Try getting from sulit, I think you can get the GNex for 12k, it's cheaper now than before N4 showed up. :D

    Upwards of 1k for all of them. The otterbox cases go for around 2k, IIRC.

    Best value cases I've seen and used are the Mercury TPU cases. 500 each at Hackstern in Robinson's Galleria.

    What type of batt life you get with the roms and kernels you're using? With standard batt of course. I barely get to 4 hours with data on all the time. I think the radio on my phone sucks. Rarely get a green signal as compared to the S2.

    I can go a full day with data always on and still have around 40% battery life at the end of the day. That includes around 2-2.5 hours screen time and 2 hours or so of listening to music/audiobooks.

    You are in a place where signal is poor. So the phone sends more juice to your radio in trying to maintain a decent connection. If you're only using data to send messages or text emails or anything that doesn't require high speed, try setting network to 2g only if you don't really need the speed. See if that helps.

    EDIT: However, if all those 4 hours are spent surfing the internet with screen on, then you get about the same battery life as everyone else. :)

    Thanks! I appreciate it. One last thing if you may... I understand you're not using your GNex that much now, but still can you generally say that the 4.3 update is better than 4.2.2?
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    Well, usually updates are meant to improve one way or the other. It may not be something we see or feel on the first glance or even after using it for so long. I think on a regular user's perspective there won't be that much difference but maybe upon heavy is there's the benefit. Sorry I can't be as clear as I'd like to be because I seldom use it but for those times that I do, I haven't had any issues so maybe I can say yes with a disclaimer.
