Hey guys new nexus user - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

So hey guts I just traded my one x for a gem nexus I am used to rooting and unlocking boot loaders and such I just don't know where to start and idk if this phone has an unlocked boot loader or if it already rooted can someone please tell Me how to check and what to do
I unlocked the boot loader on my one x and I bet nothing is harder than that BTW it was the s4 version
I am having a relapse from being able to flash Roms
There are so many here there were like none on the one x I just wanna know something that has the vest battery life and I know this question is redundant and it ends up coming to usage but I did so much research on the one x can someone please cut me some slack and point me on which ROM and kernel combo would give me the best battery and if the ROM is jb which I obviously prefer thNkyou

if on booting on the first screen the lock is unlocked means the bootloader is unlocked, head over to the dev section and use the toolkit in case u need it ..

If u have fast boot and adb just terminal fastboot OEM unlock super easy.

First of all, when you're booting and see the Google logo, look at the bottom of it and see if you see any unlock sign (lock that is unlocked)
For ROM, it's really your choice. I personally am in love with aokp black bean ROM, but battery is pretty average.
For kernel, trinity is best in my opinion. Not only it has great battery life, if you buy tool app from play store, it gives you do many customization that you need

HTC One X - easy to root?

I haven't had a HTC phone, normally only Samsung so I was wondering whether you think it will be easy to root it?
Thanks

Well it depends When we GEt our Hands on it .. i think it will be little tuff this time as different kinda mods hang in which we need to remove the battery but the creators of HTC make it to a Unibody that is The problem i think >>>!!! Lets see :

It will likely be supported by HTC Dev Unlock so it will be rootable on day one.

I was hoping for a response like this, being a Samsung lover, I know Samsung are good at supporting the Dev community so I was asking this to see if someone could give me an insight in to how HTC are with Devs?
Also how is the themeing on HTC phones because I know Samsung phones get themed quite easily?
Thanks

Going back to stock help

Hey guys my s3 killed its self yesterday so I grabbed one of these beauties today and I'm really impressed so far(maybe its the custom ROM).
Now I got the phone off a guy, had it he unlocked the bootloader,rooted,and gave me the phone already running 4.1(dirty 1.8).no back ups to even a rooted stock.
Although I love jelly bean this battery is killing me and I would really like to have at least a stock zip I can flash in emergencies.
I am so unfamiliar with HTC(nexus one was the last one I owned)thank I really don't want to brick it.
OK so my questions are these
I have the rogers version of the Onex is there certain builds I need to look for or are they all just HTC one x?
With HTC is there a fallback like with samsung if things go wrong at least there's always download mode and Odin.
Do I need to have my boot loader unlocked?
Thanks in advance
And sorry for the noobness I just can't kill 2 phones in a week

You can install apks by enabling unknown sources in settings without root.
If you unlock you can install custom roms and root.

You've done a mistake by posting on a HoX forum cos the majority here love their phones. Newly created account flaming? Original? No. Reported? Yes.

Need help choosing my next phone.

I currently have the s2 and have been flashing this thing left and right I want my life back lol
So basically what I'm asking is what android smartphone is best out of the box I.e. stock rom and all because the GS2 is a beast only under custom ROM so what would be a good phone with a good UI AND ROM, I have my eyes on the htc one x or one x + and note / note 2 , nexus 4 , s3 , ... open to unlocking phones because I'm on Simple mobile if that helps...
Thanks guys some opinions and advices would be much appreciated
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
Every ui you can have on those you can have on this one getting another phone. You could get an lg optimus g lg phones are hard to unlock idk if they have ROMs out for that one yet plus its a quad core if you have the $$$

If you want something simpler and less customization options. Then you need to decide what you need it for. Do you play a lot of games? If so then maybe an iphone is best for you. If not then maybe windows phone is a better option..
But if I were you I wouldn't give up yet because we are on the verge of getting jelly bean. It's a good time for the Hercules!

Are you talking about the official jelly bean like the stock ones we see on the s3 and note 2???!? Lol I don't play games and window phones are fugly lol but thanks

As of yet it hasn't been done, its possible but certainly not easy. You can watch the CNS developing thread although the dev hasn't said anything in a long time.

you think it would need a rom bas like cm10 or slim bean i mean i know its not gonna be a full port but a skin on the rom which is i think as close as it gets
Personally, I dont like TouchWiz. But if you are running CM10 or some other custom ROM, I'm sure you can get a TouchWiz feel with launchers, themes and keyboards. Im sure there are TouchWiz apps around too if you search for them. Thats probably the closest you'll get
EDIT: A few things I found that you may like.

You look at a lockscreen for less than 4 seconds while unlocking. I hardly think that a fancy lockscreen is necessary.

Sell your Galaxy Nexus and buy a S3.
I'll never understand why people like TouchWiz, or any of the other layovers like Sense & MotoBlur.

You don't need to replace the boot image. All the Gnex variations use the same kernel.
Unless you compiled your own kernel?
Either way, I might be in on dev for this, downloading the Premier kernel source now, will see what I can't replace with gnex stuff (driver wise), the phones are pretty similar.

I will open the tread today if my internet won't ask like a b*tch. Yesterday it was uploading at only 1kbps .The kernel is just the cm10 kernel with a modded bootclasspath to boot this rom.
