Everyone needs to remember that it took Google until the end of March to release 4.0.4, Verizon’s update appeared 7 weeks later. Unlikely to take 6 months as the author stated.

Verizon claims it is Samsung that is holding up Jelly Bean. Who is really responsible, Verizon or Samsung?

Reading this article made me finally unlock my boot loader and root my phone. The wugfresh was self explanatory. But it did wipe everything out, including picks.

Wugfresh Nexus Root Toolkit is seriously a lifesaver for backing up, unlocking and rooting for someone like me who has not rooted a phone in over 2 years and has no idea what he is doing. I was about to walk away from the idea of rooting but my mostly android clueless ass was able to follow his instructions and app very easily.
Hope this helps someone out there!
Just putting it out there in hopes that more people use it!

Just wanted to say that I am a Motorola fanboy (since the OG)…over the years went to the DX…Bionic…now RAZR running ICS and couldn’t be happier. I stayed away from the GNex because of the radio issues, poor build quality, etc…but on Amazon’s 1 penny day I added a line and couldn’t resist. Holy sh!t this think is badass! Within an hour I was unlocked, rooted, running Vicious V1 (based off of 4.1.1) and overclocked to 1.8ghz. I feel like I did with my OG Droid customizing everything from the battery indicator to the navigation control height and color. Call quality is great…no data drops…no WiFi issues…feels just like the RAZR but much faster and running JB..Love this thing and can’t beat it for a penny

lol Yeah I figured I wouldn’t be the only one. Screw VZW. Their lack of action forced me to root and I couldn’t be happier.

A Network locked Nexus is NOT a true Nexus… Simple…

Also, being a Nexus device, you need not always need your operator’s permission to enjoy latest and best Android experience… Root it, flash custom ROM, ENJOYYYY….

I went to the local VZW store yesterday to get some help with my GNex voice connectivity issues, still having occasional, but less frequent, mic mutes (or whatever they are) and sometimes my phone doesn’t connect to the network when I dial out. The sales person gave me the typical run around telling me that the issues are from their upgrading our local network to LTE and that there are also some known issues with the GNex and Charge. She claimed that the phones had the same issue and that a software fix is coming “ASAP”. When I asked what ASAP mean, she said, “who knows with these guys, it could be tomorrow it could be next week”. She then said she could give me another GNex but it would have the same problems. So I just thought I would include to this discussion what I found out. Of course it doesn’t really mean anything, just one more example of lack of support from VZW.

Bugless beast seems to be the most stable from what I have come across so far. A good majority of them are running very good though. Vicious, Jellybelly and Nexusbean are all good.

Bugless Beast is close to flawless! I have ran Jelly Belly, Vicious and Vanirbean and BB is smoking them all! you should check it out he just released a nightly 2 days ago.

Make sure you have data backup in setting so your apps dont lose their data after it starts grabbing all your apps after first boot up and sign in. I used 2 apps to backup all the data I needed they were: SMS Backup and Restore and Zemna Applist Backup. If you look around there are apps to backup call log and various other things, just search backup in the market and scroll threw. Some apps such as Light Flow allow you to backup their setting making it easy to restore after unlocking. Also if you are unlocking boot loader you MUST copy ALL files from SD card TO COMPUTER or you will lose everything not in the cloud. Hope this helps, and take screenshots of your homescreen and app drawer and anything else you want to be able to refer to later. Good luck

It’s actually a horrible travesty that devices don’t come rooted. It amazes me that people are willing to pay so much money for something they don’t even have control over
