I tried Android Revolution HD, very fast and slick.
Preferred something with features so I went with AOKP.
Currently running b28 ICS 4.03. Any recommendations on either franco.kernel or popcorn.kernel?
Both should work right?

You should really get 4.0.4 build. Feels smoother and has better battery life. At least in the android revolution version.

longtime iPhone user, new to this android stuff so I gotta ask...
what's the equivalent of jailbreaking for this thing ?
I understand what rooting is, but how does that allow me to download apps and games like Cydia and Installous did for me on the iPhone
thanks

You can already download games and apps even without rooting by googling "_____.apk". You just need to enable Unknown Sources in the security settings. Rooting just gives you more freedom when customizing your phone and allow certain apps that mess with settings that they normally restrict.

did they stop rolling out the 4.0.4 OTA due to the known signal dropping issue? I've cleared the data for the google service frameworks and I'm still not getting the OTA update...i'm on yakju 4.0.2 Build ICL53F

I'm waiting on Milestone 5. The beta builds seems to always be a little wonky for me :3

Guys. There's a new build out from google that addresses radio drop issues in 4.0.4. I don't think it's available in the Canadian release yet but my phone has been getting the upgrade popup since its on yakju IMM76D. New one is IMM76I. ROM cookers should have an update shortly since its only a 708kb update.

I tried the Xperia S port the other day and it was very smooth. I liked the subtleness of the SE software and gave ICS a nice touch. Give it a try if you're interested. I think they're still working on the video camera though.

Phone fell out of my pocket and a 50lb dumbbell nearly fell right on it, what's a good thin case that can protect it from scratches but is also relatively cheap

i dont think many thin case will protect your phone from a 50lb weight if it falls on your screen.
