Don't forget about the new JB feature. If you hold down a notification, it will give you an "App Info" selection.

How has this app gone completely unnoticed?

Does i9020A suffer from horribly yellow whites?

Um... well, the ppi on the Nexus 7 is not really that high. It is higher than that of most tablets out there, but it is lower than almost all current gen Android phones, and even some previous ones. So if you have been at least staring at a Nexus One with a ppi of 254, this should not be all...

I know, I should have specified this as well. Though, it is just starting to annoy me that people keep calling the Nexus 7 a giant phone of sorts, when the apps you download from the market are the same exact tablet apps you will be getting on larger devices. As long as developers recognize 7"...

Why do people keep saying this, or at the least stating it this way? Only the launcher is in this phone-type mode. The apps remain the same as their tablet counterparts. Tablets are typically meant to be held with one hand, and operated with the other. I'm not quite sure what you mean...

Just by watching videos, I can already tell that I hate the Chrome browser. It can have a horrendous amount of lag, and it is extremely annoying having to watch reviews that show this sub-par browsing experience when I know for a fact that all of this dreadful performance could be alleviated by...

You also have to understand that you are comparing an IPS LCD panel to Super AMOLED. AMOLED displays are know for their over-the-top contrast and very high color saturation, producing extremely deep blacks, yet as some say "very unrealistic colors". You should not be too embarrassed. The...

Here are some pictures The Verge took of the device with a book displayed on it: http://cdn0.sbnation.com/entry_photo_images/4510855/P1060637-verge-1024_gallery_post.jpg http://cdn3.sbnation.com/entry_photo_images/4510852/P1060639-verge-1024_gallery_post.jpg...

I never said I disagreed with any of it, I never said he was incorrect in his opinion, I never said that he should have came off less seriously, and I never said I did not find the review fantastic. I was simply pointing out that the statements he made did not sound like they were in "good...

I honestly thought you were quite serious when you made those "fact" statements. The way things are worded are very forthright. Good hearted fun does not pulse through these words. The way you reiterated and then emphasized the word fact made me presume that you were being very serious.

The Gmail app can be used in landscape.

Yes, you are somewhat correct. The on-screen buttons are factored into the equation when referring to screen size. However, they disappear or fade under certain circumstances, but for the most part they will always linger where they are.

Please note the Nexus 7 already utilizes "Fragments" in its user interface. Only the launcher on the device remains "phone like", apps stay in tablet form.

I assume everyone knows that the "Phone UI" mostly applies to the launcher. Everything else remains in tablet mode, with the typical fragmented layout. I'm not quite sure why this has been grinding everyone's gears, but other than the fact that the launcher currently cannot rotate, this is not...

While I wholeheartedly agree with everything you stated, I believe he is referring to the iPad 1. The similarity here is a tad jarring, but I have never been one to get engaged in all this business.

Gizmodo's Full Review You can argue that the iPad is a better tablet, but is it really $300 better? As useful as tablets are, they're still kind of luxury items. $200 for a full-fledged, seriously-spec'd, fully-capable tablet is an absolute steal. Get it. Seriously.

Martias Duarte, the current Director of User Experience at Android, said the large bezels were a conscious choice, for both aesthetic and usability reasons. He said it will probably go under appreciated, and may even remain unnoticed, but he holds the design of the Nexus 7 very close to his...

For a hacked together SDK build, this is surprisingly smooth. I am actually disappointed to return back to ICS.

I agree wholeheartedly. Music streaming is quite nice, but as of now, it cannot fully replace storing your music on your actual device. There are simply too many exceptions to make it a fully viable alternative.

Thank you, that fixed the problem.

After I flashed this ROM (or... after I flashed a different kernel?), my Wifi stopped working. I rarely ask questions, but as I don't feel like flashing another ROM, could anyone point me in the direction of a possible solution? I assumed flashing different kernels would fix something, but...

Stock Android = AOSP The Galaxy Ace is a TouchWiz device, meaning it has been modified by Samsung. Thus making it not stock Android.

It is really disappointing to see that so many people are having lag issues with ICS. I was actually contemplating switching to WP7 or iOS before ICS, but I definitely have to rethink my decision now. The browser is extremely fast and smooth, and the overall experience is much more fluid. As...

Hold VolDown+Power.

I also upgraded from the Nexus One, and I definitely find the Nexus S superior. The Hummingbird SoC is much better than the outdated Snapdragon found in the Nexus One. The Super AMOLED screen is also superior to the N1, and other little things like the internal storage, ROM, camera are also...

Why hasn't anyone reported on how this ICS feels? Is it almost as fast a Galaxy Nexus? Or is it the Galaxy Nexus's SoC that makes it so smooth and snappy?

The rom isn't that bad... I adore the UI changes. Though I wasn't aware that the market wasn't working.

I believe that this may be more so about Verizon than Google. Verizon still has to make money. There is probably a length of time after the Galaxy Nexus release that Google must wait to deploy Android 4.0, at least one would assume so. Though this doesn't really make sense... the Galaxy Nexus...

Have you not see these screenshots? It looks very different from the MIUI we have now. Much better. To claim nothing looks different about it outrageous.

I'm assume the person that said that was referring to their phones. They make cheap, ugly, low-quality devices that no one really cares for.

It is still not a native Android feature, though I assume you know this by now.

Why would they do this? Also it is "Android", and it isn't "Apple's Facebook design". It is how Facebook feels their application should be designed. There would be no major benefit that I can see if both the iOS and Android versions had different user interfaces. I actually prefer it this...

I love it. However, I do wish they would have stayed with the blue hues found in stock Ice Cream Sandwich.

Yes, these ICS builds are no where close to the smoothness, snappiness, and fluidity of Gingerbread ROMs. I was hoping that when the official Ice Cream Sandwich OTA for the Nexus S was released this problem would be remedied. These AOSP builds have not been properly optimized and such to run...

The first two benchmarks being better than everything else was due to ICS, with the SoC playing a minimal role here. The last two were based more on the chips inside the devices, where the SGSII was obviously superior to that of the Galaxy Nexus. Ananadtech even states it themselves: The...

What about a center clock without battery mod?

The Samsung Galaxy S II has a significantly better SoC than the Galaxy Nexus. It is no surprise than the Galaxy Nexus doesn't hold a candle to it in benchmarks.

I don't believe it was running smoother on the SGS2 and the GN only because they are more powerful, but also because the code is properly optimized as Gingerbread was with the Nexus S. The Nexus S was the stock Android experience phone to buy due to how speedy Gingerbread was on the device, and...

This is one thing that has been bothering me as well. Every single one of these ROMs are not truly as smooth as Gingerbread. In no way do they even reach the fluidity found in Gingerbread ROMS. The hardware acceleration helps, but even then you can still feel the difference between the two...

The developers of these applications have not updated their AndroidManifest files to allow for their applications to be installed on ICS based devices. And for some, there app simply may not be compatible with ICS at all. I believe that you can also make it so that your app is installable on...

I hope that the current batch of ICS ROMS do not represent how the real ICS performs, or even comes close for that matter.

Yes!! I am so happy someone found a way to do this. While they can be considered completely pointless on a device that already has buttons, I find them really awesome on the Nesus S. Especially after disabling the backlight on the capacitive buttons.

Is there any remedy for the horrible colors after flashing this kernel? I don't want to toy with the Voodoo control app color settings myself... or rather, I don't know what settings would be best.

I know that they aren't very practical on a device that already has buttons on it, but these on-screen buttons are just so cool. And they make the Nexus S look awesome as well. Despite the amount of space they take up on the screen, I believe that I am going to miss them a litte when the...

I guess I would have to see the GN and iPhone 4 side-by-side to get a true understanding of the screens, but judging from pictures and reviews on the internet, the GN looks just fine: And reviewers seem to adore the screen as well: It may not be superior to the screen found on the iPhone...

I used the APK from this forum.

The on-screen button version is extremely smooth, smoother than any other ICS ROM in the past. After disabling the Nexus's backlight buttons, this will definitely be used as my daily driver until the official ROM is released to us.

Google Confirms no Flash for Ice Cream Sandwich, for the time being.

I don't understand why people keep asking this question. If the ROM is not in your phone's development section, then it will most likely not work on your device.
