Hey guys! Yesterday I ordered a Samsung Galaxy Nexus with a two year contract with Telia (a swedish operator)
I will probably get it by Monday or perhaps Tuesday at most. I am so damn happy!
What should I do when I get it? Root and unlock bootloader? I don't wanna flash ROMs the first thing I do.
I'd say get comfortable with your device and make sure it has no flaws, in case you might need to return it. Then you can root and flash custom roms if you want to.

I've already gotten comfortable with it by reading reviews, watching unboxings and played around with the phone in stores so I probably won't be disappointed with it.
I think it might be delivered with that YAKJUXW build, though, so I'll probably flash Google's factory image of YAKJU. Gonna read up on that once I have the phone.
You won't notice the issues and annoyances until you've had it a while, and even then only if you're as picky as I am lol.
I'd say either leave it stock, locked and unrooted if it works fine for you, and if it doesn't i'd stick AOKP on it as it's brilliant ROM.
Whatever you do, read up. It's easy to root and rom the Galaxy nexus as long as you research what you want to do and how to put it back to normal if you run into issues.

I didn't catch any ironi or sarcasm in what you wrote, neither did I see any flaming or blaming. I would say he misunderstood because of lingual differences.
Lmao. Nerd rage. I tend to be a smart ass and some nerds take it personally. Or just wrong. But back to point, you really should give your phone a test run for a week or more to make sure no issues stock. Then unlock and flash til your hearts content. It could save time and headache in the near term.
zippity doo da.
Unlock bootloader and root as soon as you get it because it wipes your data...enjoy stock for a while wait till you get bored and flash AOKP and Franco kernel...you won't look back

Seriously. I'm still on EL29, and will remain there until all the drama of the FB** releases are sorted out. I've seen far too many people bricking their phone, and without CWM built in yet, it's just too much hassle going back and forth. That said, it's still nice to see some actual Sprint/Samsung dev going on with regards to our phones. It's about time.

I am a flashaholic as well. I've wanted ICS for a long time but I kept patient which a lot of people did not. I also need stability as well at times don't get me wrong I'm glad they are working on things but 2 days difference at times does not show much also. that being said I still flashed FB21 lol.
Who cares if the RDF is up, they seem to put one up every 3 days or so.. it doesnt even get released for about 4-5 days after the RDF goes up.
Man, is it ever going to stop!!!
Ugh I hate this
It's good they're working on ICS and all but do we really need to leak every build.

Well this isn't a leak .... yet.
I knew it would be like this once it got rolling. Which is why I'm not theming my ICS ROM or putting any real time into setting it up. In fact I've only re-installed/restored a fraction of my daily driver Apps. I've got all that tucked away in my nice little EL29 backup, which I'm 5 minutes away from if I need my phone to be 100% functional. It also makes flashing new leaks once a week easier and more fun.
Those that are bricking their phones, while I definitely feel for them, must be doing something whacky. If one follows tried, true and simple Odin and CWM methods, it's like flashing any other ROM and carries the same minimal risks. Any time I flash, I check the md5s and have a plan on where I want to be and the steps I need to take to get there. Every damn time. A bit of thought and patience can be the difference between a lot of fun and a brick.
Meh I'm fckin rambling. Probably a side effect of my 2yr old getting the flu and puking all night long. I'm tired.

Some people are flashing junkies, and will love to test it out
I love that they are working on this but what I really hope Is that the leaks help the cm9 dev get things sorted out because I'm. Not moving from gingerbread until things are stable. I also really want to see what ICS Touchwiz will look like after they are DONE.
But for now I'm Perfectly happy on my very stable and fast dark ics themed blend rom!

Apparently xboarder bricked his phone and Samsung wont exchange it therefore he cant develop anymore for the skyrocket but he is open sourcing from where he last left off. Since its being open sourced somebody should look into making a t989 build. It has gsm working I think.

Someone, told that there is an officially supported jtag available now. His response "cpu is dead".
I smell bull****.
I like howxda has been going down hill because people assume the worst in others. He's making something from scratch and you expectit to be perfect. bricking your phone more than once seems kind of expected when you are working by yourself and testing experimental builds in your own phone. I believe he never purchased a new phone so maybe that is why Samsung is not replacing it.

Well dude something fishy is going on because we have year warranty on our phones out the box and samsung doesnt know he mods his phone all he has to say to tmobile is his phone wont turn on.....trust they will give him a new one.. So idk whats up but our variant i dont think will ever see ics
To be honest im gonna get bashed for this but ill state some things i've notice..I've been following xboarders work since the sensation which he was accused of kanging from the CM team and threw a ***** fit hence the "they dont like me"you guys must of heard from xboarder himself.So he left the sensation community and his rom to kristofpetho i believe or was it melvin,cant remember its been awhile.Then he received a donated amaze 4g and soon enough he was working on asop ics which was never finished..Then lef tthe amaze to work on a donated skyrocket with the same tactics luring ppl to think he's building a asop ics rom..so far nuttin's been finished but a ported sense 3.5 rom for the amaze i think he kanged RC team..I say this because i seen a post NRGZ28 said about it and xboarder quickly replied pm me and that was the end of discussion..The sense 3.5 can be arguable however cause its just speculations of a post i have no real facts if its kanged..I understand he's just a kid and he's working,testing on his own but the facts is there just browse like i said i've been following him since we've had the same phones..I know im not a dev and havent put out anything but im learning and im thankful for the righteous devs that we do have.Just sucks ppl donated to him..This isnt a i hate xboarder post i have nuttin against him i just dont like shady ppl..

He sent back before. He is saying they won't do it again. He says the jtag won't work cause his cpu is dead.
I think the kid hit a wall and doesn't want to admit defeat. Considering, how he was treating the other guys trying to work on ics.
He said he was going to release a 4th preview in a day. That was a week and a half ago. So.. I think it's too hard for him.
Without drivers cyanogen and slayher haven't got an alpha build. So this kid was full of cap from the start.
As of right now, the roms for your S3 are not meant to be used on other S3 variants. Bricks might happens or a soft one might happen. Before flashing a Rom make sure you are in the right development section an you read the entire op, twice. Until other devs or experienced users find a way to make them cross compatible, please refrain from using other carriers S3 roms.
I am working on this so that all roms will work on all carriers

I had to replace my device at that point; You're only able to access the Qualcomm download mode right now and unless someone has made a full rip of the AT&T/Rogers/Telus/Bell software using the Qualcomm tools, you're probably SOL.

It was actually quite painless lol Don't worry about them noticing you modded it; If all you can get is the Qualcomm download mode, they'll have to do a complete wipe of the phone to get it to boot, they'll never see your attempted mod.

thats the problem that is rampant in xda....
people need to slow down, stop being so excited and take a minute to actually get their bearings and UNDERSTAND what they are doing.
it seems so many people think this is all just child's play and nothing bad could possibly happen. as we have seen over the years, nothing could be further from the truth.
as android grows in popularity, so does the noobery, even though they are warned, they will still ignore the warnings and rules.
this is my favorite XDA post of all time and sums it all up:

i will get off my soapbox now
Won't lie ... I am only replying because I ALMOST did that. I have graduated from Sheep to Shepard! I will guide the flock best I can
This is my first android phone on verizon before this i had the iPhone 5 for 2 years and before that i was on sprint with the evo 3d which was rooted... i didn't know it was a mission to get verizon phones rooted. Now im checking the forums everyday like 3 or 4 times a day to see if anything new has come up for root. Im getting desperate lol. People that have had previous note devices on verizon, did it usually take this long?
Lol you sound just like me! Ive looked everywhere. And now just sticking to xda hopen for some good news! I had a s2 rooted then went to ip4 to ip5s both jb. now im back to android with n4. N4 is a bad ass just waiting for this root to make it even meaner! I feel your pain bud!
Don't count on this phone being rooted on Verizon. If it's that important, you may need to switch phones/carriers. It's unfortunate.
It'll be rooted, just have patience. People are SMART around here, and they'll figure it out. It's still a fantastic phone as it is.

I don't doubt that the N4 will eventually have root.
I think the issues as stated is that CF needs an unlocked bootloader, which means either we get an unlocked bootloader (which I really doubt) or someone finds an alternative method. So yeah, nobody can predict the future, but this isn't like other phones like say on Tmob. There are more obstacles people with AT&T/VZW need to overcome. Saying otherwise at this point is very misleading to potential buyers and retail owners.

I think the note 3 just got root this past summer, and it was released Sept 2013, so that would be 8-10 months after release.

If only it were that easy. Unfortunately Samsung's DE program is a nightmare and they can't seem to keep them in stock. I would happily sell my phone today for $550 and order a DE for $700, but its not even an option.

they sell 20 at a time and then takes 3-4 weeks for 20 more. how they always have done it and how they always will
I had the g2 and I believe the boot on that one is still locked. They used this loki walk around thing.. any chande this can be done with the n4... anyone know about this?

Nice thing is, not a single person here can predict the future. Nobody knows for sure what'll happen.

The best way to predict the future is to change it :3

Well if we've learned anything about Samsung this year its that they don't know how to properly plan their phone supplies. At this point I'll just wait for an M9 instead of dealing with Samsung's DE circus.

http://www.technobuffalo.com/2015/06/11/htc-one-m9-gets-big-camera-update/
Did anyone see this? Looks promising, i hope a dev can make a stock rooted version!
To be honest, id probably flash that update. Im in Israel and i have yet to find someone with a Java card here. Stock isnt horribleeeee but i miss Cyanogen/AOSP
Stock isn't bad at all if you disable all the crap. I'm pretty much resigned to the fact we're not getting root.
I have root. Dottat is only an inbox message and a shipping charge+donation away.
Ok, a hundred people or so will have root. Which means there's not a whole lot of development that will be happening, so I'll just live with stock.

Theres four public folks with cards. Even more who aren't. There's a lot more than 100. I know a dev who already built cm for this very phone. Its not a dead phone. Its just getting started.

I disagree, it takes time to get things going. Most the Developers (that I know of anyway) that are on Verizon have gotten their phones S-OFF, and are working hard to bring us the goodies. It will only get better from here, and those who are patient enough or don't feel like shipping their devices, will have all the goodies waiting for them, as we are working hard getting the ball rolling. It will only keep getting better and better. Even if SunShine NEVER brings support to Verizon, their any many amazing people with Java Cards who are 100% trustworthy and depending how you ship your device it can be back the same week. (I personally sent my phone out with $400 insurance on a Monday, and the phone was back in my hands by Wednesday - It was on it's way back to me with a tracking # before I even had time to see if the phone had made it!) 100% worth it, and thank you again @dottat!

i appreciate the encouragement. ive considering learning how to.compile, but i dont know programming and id assume id need to know that. if its a situation of placing files in this directory and that directory, and changing paths in this code and that....i can probably do that.
Anybody knows of camera update ..is it only firmware or software for it to work. Example is the international builds we are running latest build but not firmware. Somebody told me we need firmware to see change on camera,but a really can see a difference in camera quality without the firmware

i have no option BUT to wait. i dont know of any place in Israel who has a JAVA card. i could probably take the update and wait longer for whoever comes out with the exploit for the current sw to come out with an exploit for the update. i havent decided yet. i really hope someone finds an exploit. this update does sound very promising

The camera update is in the play store now. Doesn't fix the missing manual controls in raw mode though.
