Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

[alostpacket]

Double post, but this is the best commit I have found so far in the changelog.

Dianne Hackborn is such an awesome curmudgeon.

Anyone? Any ideas?

 

[Steven58]

scbang.. I have no idea... in fact, to figure out what you are asking I have to go through your recent posts.

As I understand it, you lost Korean support when you upgraded to 4.2.2. Is that correct?

So I was walking around the forums today here and there and I saw things I would have never though I would see development just stopped ... I know I haven't been in the mix much but have we really all stopped? I know the Galaxy nexus is dead but it is like this everywhere I am even struggling to find a ROM for my S4 and my parents S3's that has been updated in the past three months ... anyone else noticing the same thing or am I just looking in the wrong place and we have moved development to different forums now-a-days
*crossing fingers its the latter*

Not sure? I don't walk around much. I'm basically here and I peek in LG and N7. Once in a blue moon I'll look around.

Look for Beanstalk, it's really pretty good and the new Omni rom is coming on strong.

This weekend, I'm flashing CodefireXperiment 4.3, based on AOSP not CM/AOKP, built with the LLVM/Clang tool chain - first rom team to make the switch to what will most probably become the new preferred/standard compiler for Android.

Chatter is down but advanced development is up.

I am gonna have to do some research on them glad all is not lost HAHA
what phones are thoes roms for?

Okay. I have to ask the stupid question. Sorry.

AWS, is Verizon Band 4, right? Nexus 5 supports Band 4. When Verizon starts a major rollout of AWS, they either started small now or are starting soon, could the N5 work on Verizon IF you took the sim card out of your phone and put in the N5? Sortof like how you can take a sim card out of your phone and put in the 2013 LTE N7.

Just read of someone on XDA is getting the N5 and they are going to try and put their already activated sim card in it.

In theory yes but come on its Verizon man

Multiple, Beanstalk is definitely on some of the Samsungs.

 

[breadnatty08]

Okay, haven't search much but is there a stock 4.4 ROM floating around for the Gnex, or I imagine we'll have to wait for a custom developed one?

It's Band 4 in general as used by T-Mobile's main band and AT&T in some areas. Verizon has only rolled it out in the biggest cities thus far. The problem ensues that you would need CDMA for voice and sms and the device isn't certified. Verizon could and probably would shut off service to it immediately once it discovered you were using an unauthorized device.

Sprint is good to go with it according to reports.

G2 looks better to me because of the battery. Not a fan of the bootloader though.

Thats good. Sometime I should be looking into a carrier and a phone. Though I never use a phone, and my tablet has provided me phone like features, it may be a waste for me.

Nexus 5 only $799 at BestBuy.

 

[Rxpert83]

Nexus 5 only $799 at BestBuy.

Seriously!?!

 

[halon]

The headline of the article said that. I didn't bother read the whole thing.

 

[jhawkkw]

Best Buy has since lowered the price down to 449, so only $100 more than Google Play

Still too much. I would buy it from Google either way.

 

[Revenant Ghost]

I'd love to have the Nexus 5. But my carrier wouldn't have it until 1-2 years from now, if ever. And by then, it'll probably be given some stupid name: like Nexus V or something.

 

[EarlyMon]

It matches the carrier markup, in this case, Sprint's.

Sprint will discount for contract subsidies and Best Buy will offer sales and coupons.

No one, including Google, gets accused of price fixing and no one is going to pay the extra hundred unless they insist.

And all parties will show the customer their advantage.

It's a numbers game and it's business as usual.
