Not just the quantity but quality as well. I Judie a search on some apps I would like to have if I switched over and they are not available. Either they will eventually be there or not at all. Everything seems delayed in terms of releasing popular apps on the android.
Maybe I should be patient and see what apple and google does in the summer then decide. Posted via RS Mobile |

With ICS the notification pull down is accessible on the lock screen, if you use the slide unlock.
Once you use a security lock screen, like pattern or pin, it's not available. Which makes sense, if you value security, convenience should not compromise it.

It'd be nice if you can pull down still and after click on the notification, it THEN brings u to the pattern-lock. Kinda like the iPhone.
blah. I just hope there is a tweak for everything if I end up with this phone :P
thanks for the help guys

thanks for the help guys | Well if you think about it. It's not very secure to be able to read the message/text/email/etc. header on the notification when you have security enabled. I know I wouldn't want that if I were using the secure lockscreen.

Also you can toggle it so it doesn't show the message preview or anything at all. Up to u.

BTW. The sms app I was using in the past was Go SMS. It has the same quick reply option usable in any screen.

ICS has a data usage monitor built in...
...you can always download one from the market too.

There is an app however I find it's much faster to use the built in function on the Galaxy Nexus. Here's about a month for me:  | |

So I picked up a used HTC Magic to try out rooting and flashing rom before I try anything on my GN. I rooted and installed Cyanogenmod on the Magic.
I was under the impression that Cyanogenmod are roms that use the official Android rom and then add some more extra settings. Turns out that they don't keep everything stock. Say for example, they don't use the stock Android launcher, they use ADW launcher.
So I'm wondering, is an official stock rom even available (as in everything stock, down to the launcher and apps), or it isn't as simple as, ripping the stock rom off a Google phone (Nexus S, Nexus One etc.) and just installing it on another device?

But those would be modded / changed in someway like Cyanogenmod. Only nexus phones have " stock " android, and that's only if you use ota updates provided by Google.
Fuck yeah SwiftKey is good. Revscene crashed and I just had to keep hitting. He space bar

For your GN if you want stock launcher most roms would still have the stock launcher available or you could try trebuchet? That launcher is something made by the Cyanogen team based on the stock ICS launcher.
