This weekend’s Android 4.0.4 update for the Galaxy Nexus was a welcomed surprise, except for the fact that many of you had issues regaining root afterwards. Thankfully, we have amazing developers (adrynalyne specifically) that produced a new su.zip that can be flashed to give you root in no time. If you updated to 4.0.4 and have been banging your head against the wall trying to get root back, head past the break for instructions.  

Not that we are surprised by this since the Nexus developer community has been pedal-to-the-metal since day one, but we wanted to be sure that you all realized that 4.0.4 ROMs are already available. If you have yet to update, feel free to grab one of the releases we listed below. You have a CM9 Kang that keeps getting better by the minute, followed by two completely stock ROMS – 1 that is only rooted and another that has been deodexed, includes busybox, etc. 

Samsung’s 90 second spot for the Galaxy Note dropped some time around the beginning of the 4th quarter during yesterday’s Super Bowl, and boy was it somethin’. I’ve watched it a number of times now, yet still can’t decide if it was 100% win and hilarious, so over-the-top that it may have scared Android enthusiasts, or simply forgettable. It was so different from their subtle jabs at iPhone lines in previous spots that had a certain witty brilliance. I get that it’s the Super Bowl and things are supposed to be big and boisterous, I’m just wondering if it was a little much? Your thoughts?

Another week and another Samsung Galaxy SIII rumored launch date to add to the growing list. This week it comes out of Korean news site Electronics Times News who claims that the device will be roughly 7mm thick, launching some time in May. Now, we have seen reports that suggest March, April, and July, so why not put May into play? After hearing from Samsung that they will not unveil the device at the end of this month at MWC and will instead throw a special Samsung event, these later dates sound like much more of a reality.

Aside from the device being ultra-slim, ETNews also mentioned that the phone should run Ice Cream Sandwich, contain “high quality cameras” and have 3D capabilities.

Anything else you would love to see in the Galaxy SIII?  HD Super AMOLED Plus screen?

We are barely settling into Android 4.0.4 on the Galaxy Nexus (unofficially of course) and French mobile site SFR is reporting that Android 4.0.5 will be out in March. Do we believe them? Eh, maybe. It’s tough to tell with these Euro mobile sites if their information is on point or not. Since this looks to be a retailer, you would think that they would have some sort of an idea as to when their phones will be updated, but again, you just never know. If we see this info disappear into the internet’s abyss within the next couple of hours, you can maybe put a little bit of money on it.

Motorola is prepping a new “soak test” for the DROID Bionic, but it’s anyone’s guess as to what it may include. Everyone will likely assume that it is Ice Cream Sandwich, however, I would almost bet that the DROID RAZR will see Android 4.0 before any other Moto device. There is a good chance that this update is 5.9.902 that we received information about back in mid-January. You can see the changelog for it here.

Cheers J, D, D, J, and K!

Ahh yes, it is that time of the year where millions and millions of people sit down in front of their TVs to watch commercials. It’s Super Bowl Sunday, in case you were wondering. But as you all know, it’s not all about watching Motorola’s awful Apple-bashing commercials, it’s also about the game itself. And while most of us on the west coast could care less who wins, we know that the north eastern corner of the country has been talking trash for 2 weeks now. Football fan or not, this should be a heck of a game.  Who you got?
