Farewell Glacier peeps

My Galaxy Nexus showed up yesterday so I will be moving over there now. It's been great with all of you. I bought this phone off of GOOGLE play website and am very happy with it so far. I'm hoping to find a buyer for my glacier soon cause it's still such a nice phone and would hate for it to just end up in a drawer.

Hey man how much was your Gnexus? $400?
Also, the Galaxy is actually easier to root and stuff, its just the flasghing part that's a bit more annoying... IMHO

Yeah I paid 399 for it. Easy to root and unlock. Flashing rom from cwm recovery just like you can on glacier. Already rooted it and running AOKP rom with franco kernel.

Flashing is actually the same procedure on Nexus CWM as on the Glacier.

I'm running the exact same setup as you. Franco kernel is bomb isn't it? Sounds are nice and the screen even looks better than it already is. Did you get Franco's kernel app control?

Any idea what price you would set the glacier at for sale? I know this isn't the marketplace but I'm curious because I have family members who paid $190 a month ago... but I paid $175 for mine a year ago.... what's a fair market price assuming normal wear/tear

If I had the money to get a new phone right now, I'd sell mine for $125 or just give it to my youngest bro. It still looks new too.

Ride it out!
MT4G is still no slouch. I'm sure once your contracts up something nice will be out by that time.

Yeah, I'm planning to just ride this phone out until the end of the contract (late December). Development is still surprisingly strong, I don't play any graphically intensive games, and the phone never fails me for anything.

My family on my contract wants to switch so I have to keep this phone until two years from June 2011 (someone bought an sgs)
God.

Psh, I can't upgrade for like another 10 months. I want a Gnex, so I might try to get one this summer since I'll be working. I might even try to get a weekend job for that extra $$$.

Uh, you have to be more specific. What do you want to do with the tablet? Are you an Apple person, or an Android person? 7'? 8.9"? 10"?

you can try the galaxy note tablet

I'm looking for an android tablet. Either a 7" or 10". I was looking between the galaxy tabs 2 both in 7" and 10". Kinda read mixed reviews.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

I would YouTube galaxy2 tab vs galaxy note and use spec difference. My personal opinion the note would be my choice because galaxy tab can be hassle with fc even in basic stock. But you gotta find the difference there
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

I have a tab 2 10.1. It hasn't had any fc or problems. It also doesn't have very much dev support. It runs well for me, it's rooted, and I use it for watching movies and surfing the web.
Look into the note tablet and the nexus 7. Those are better tablets as far as specs go. They probably also have more dev support. Up to you though, the tab 2 works just fine for me.

Just got myself a nexus 7. Can't give a review or anything as I haven't even unboxed it yet. Personally, I wanted the nexus 10 but its just not in my budget right now. Little brother has an account through newegg so settled for that. Same price as it is through the play store too.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda

I've had a nexus 7 for a few months now. I love it. The constant android os updates are a huge plus for me. There's pretty good dev support, too. For the price, I'm shocked at how much I like it.
There are a few bugs with the screen. Some users report a horizontal line of burnt pixels developing, and other users report blurry edges. My nexus 7 developed the horizontal line last week. I made a three minute phone call and a new nexus 7 arrived two days later. Not bad at all. I've read the screen issues have been fixed as of now.
Oh, it's also easy as heck to root and maintain. Rooting took me less than 10 minutes from start to finish.
Edit:
It depends if u really want a similar experience as the skyrocket. I imagine the Samsung tablets may be a good pick. I found the uber clean stock Android 4.2 system on the N7 was simple enough for me to bounce and forth between the skyrocket and not go bald or blind from stress.

Has anyone else tried Go Dev's new Next Launcher? I really like it its very smooth for the effects that it has, although I'll be glad when they start getting themes got it and more icons.

Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2

I've been using and playing around with it since it released.
I also find it to be quite functional, usable, smooth, nice looking and user friendly.
It very much reminds me of a cross between SPB Shell and TSF Shell.
With the best aspects of each incorporated, as well as some older GO touches.
I also look forward to more themes and have even been messing around, making a few of my own.
I also took their only Live Wallpaper and modded it and made my own versions with different colored orbs behind the honeycomb effect.
There is definitely great potential with this Launcher. Hopefully as it matures, the price can drop a little.
As I have only spent this much on one launcher before, and don't plan to do it again.

Sure, I can do that. No problem.
Did you have a color preference?
If not, then I will just post multiple color options when I do, later this evening.

A blue to match the NuSense theme would be awesome but the multi color version would be just fine if that's what you got already.

I liked SPB Shell too but they have it too where I can't use one downloaded from 4shared. This is definitely very slick and smooth though.
Sent from my ThunderBolt using xda premium

I never liked spb shell. I figured that for the price it should work a lot better than it did. It was almost like they were just throwing stuff in to make it seem like it's worth $15. Honestly next launcher is overpriced to but the go dev team puts out updates like juggernauts so expect it to get really good really fast.

Which one does? Spb or go? The next launcher has none at all. It is actually a smaller download than either or those launchers.

The old go launcher. I remember when it was small and then they added all that crap.

looks nice, but at $15, think i'll have to pass

Ditto, I have only one paid app on my phone and that's one that I won so it was actually free as well.
My PC software is almost all freeware as well, look up "CHEAP" in the dictionary, you'll see my picture there! :laugh:

[POLL] Who's gotten their free tectiles and flip cover?

So I was just wondering who got their free cover and tectiles. On the note 2 forum there are pictures of people getting it already, so I was wondering if any of you guys got one yet. I still haven't gotten mine.

I haven't

Hey just wanted to mention mine did finally come in yesterday for my S3. Pretty cool promotion honestly. I got 6 tectiles(a 5 pack plus one loose sample stuck to a postcard thing, that launched the playstore to download the official app for the textiles. I was pleasantly surprised that the sample one could be reprogrammed, and I could use "NFC Task Launcher" as opposed to the official app.

Nice! Mind sharing what state? Im in california and still haven't gotten it. Hopefully it comes sometime soon.

I got mine in today, in a nice shiny padded reflective envelope. I wanted the blue flip cover but they were out and got the orange instead.

Still waiting on mine as well. I don't mind though because it was completely free :laugh:

Every time somebody writes tectiles for some reason i read testicles..... I am sick and tired of confusion....lol

How about a $104,000(!!!) Case?

http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00B7QGT6U/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new
I don't know if this has been posted before, but I've been looking for a case that is Minimal and still shows off the back of the phone. I came across this one and went to look at the prices available... than I looked at the last option... $104,921.73!!!!! I HOPE this is a seller error... I really do hope... I just thought this was funny and I would share with fellow Nexus 4/XDAers. Have a good one.

Actually it says $13,99.
Or maybe the dollar devaluated again...

Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

I was thinking if ANY case is that much it better have an extra 3,000mh (if that's the right abbreviation) battery built in, signal boosters for both WiFi and Cell Data/Radio, pure diamond and/or hardened steel, light-weight, and have an extra voice assistant that knows you by name and balances your checkbook.
Side note, I am thinking about this case but does it add a lot of extra bulk to the device?
