The touch-enabled version of the world’s favorite custom recovery has now been released for the Galaxy Nexus GSM and CDMA variants. All credits go to Koushik Dutta, who is also responsible for bringing us ClockworkMod Recovery that is considered to be an important tool for many Android users who love to experiment with their devices. The latest touch-enabled recovery, ClockworkMod Touch Recovery 5.8.0.2, promises to showcase important new features not found in previous versions. The touch-enabled recovery is still being refined further, but according to a post by a fellow Galaxy Nexus user, the recovery tool is fully functional. There’s …
The looks of pure Ice Cream Sandwich appear tantalizing on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, but for some people, the device dons a better look if it wears the face of MIUI 4. Owing to a clean and easy-to-use user interface, MIUI is one of the world’s favorites when it comes to custom Android ROMs. Using the freshest and latest builds from Chinese sources, DroidVicious (the ROM’s developer) took pains to port the Chinese build, translate it, and deodex it so that the rest of the Galaxy Nexus world can enjoy MIUI 4 on their handsets. MIUI, in case you haven’t …
Those of you that previously played Sonic 4 Episode 1 must have been quite sad that it was not compatible with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich for the longest time. However, SEGA developers woke up and released a very important update. Now you will be able to play Sonic 4 on your Galaxy Nexus! If you have a Transformer Prime you will be able to play the game on that as well. It seems like it is a double win for tablets and phones. Some players even claim that the mobile platform is more entertaining and enjoyable, compared to the …
Thanks to a NenaMark benchmark on their own site, someone managed to capture a screenshot of a Galaxy Nexus device featuring a PowerVR SGX544 GPU, much like a TI OMAP 4470 chip would have. Although, it has never happened before for Google to release a “Plus” version of their Nexus, they did release a “4G” version of the Nexus S. Also, seeing how Samsung is on a spree of making “Plus” versions of all their older phones, could it be that there’s an actual upgraded Galaxy Nexus device on the horizon? I would take these rumors with a huge grain …
I guess you don’t need to get to excited about this since it still doesn’t give any information about when Sprint will be releasing their Galaxy Nexus. We already know it’s going to work on Sprint’s LTE network which will be launching around mid-2012, which by our guess the Sprint Galaxy Nexus won’t be in our hands until June at the earliest unless they release it early. We all know what the Galaxy Nexus has right? Well just in case let’s remind you of everything the Galaxy Nexus features. The Galaxy Nexus has a 720p, 4.65-inch display, running on a …
I hope you guys are ready for a quick comparison of a couple of the most highly desired Android phones currently on the market. Let’s start off by introducing both the phones. INTRODUCTIONS Droid Razr Maxx In Corner 1 we have “the rookie” the freshly released Droid Razr Maxx who was released on the market on January 26 2012 by Verizon. The Razr Maxx was born from the brains of a Motorola engineer who thought of packaging a higher capacity battery onto the original Droid Razr by Verizon. The Razr Maxx almost never became as there was considerable hesitation from both Motorola and Verizon …
When Samsung created the Galaxy Nexus, it was probably aware of the number of hacks, mods, roms, and kernels that people would attempt to install in it. However, they might not have expected that it would be an easily unlocked device. Recently, the Galaxy Nexus is now available with the Trinity by Morfic kernel. Historically speaking, the Trinity kernels have been best known for offering unparalleled performance while putting its battery life in tow. However, not all of them are geared for battery life, as there are some other kernels that provide a different result. Adding to the line-up of …
You could say that the Galaxy Nexus is the most anticipated Android device of 2011. It’s what Android enthusiasts were hoping the Nexus S to be when dual core technology started cropping up in mid-2010. The Galaxy Nexus was already out towards the end of 2011 in the West, but here in Asia, we are only getting a glimpse of this device now. As an Android Enthusiast, I have high expectations of the Galaxy Nexus. After all, it is a Pure Google device that’s considered by many to run bleeding edge Android OS. It is Android at its best. However, …
We all know that Apple’s Co-Founder, the late Steve Jobs number one goal was to destroy Android, and it looks like his employees are still working on that now. The latest to come out in the Apple vs. Samsung story, is that Apple is sueing for the “Slide to Unlock” in Ice Cream Sandwich – Android 4.0, which is currently only officially available on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus (I know some of us have it on our rooted devices). Apple does own the patent for the “Slide-to-unlock” feature that has been in the iPhone for as long as I can …
There’s no need to bring a charger daily for your Samsung Galaxy Nexus once you get a hold of this new battery pack rated at 3800mAh. It’s even better than Samsung’s improved battery for the Nexus, which was at 2100mAh.
Feel like the volume levels are a tad low on your Galaxy Nexus? The developer of Volume+ has got your covered, with v1.8.1.0 beta now available for download.
News from the United Kingdom today from retailer Clove Technology (which is a company a lot of us use to import phones from the UK) that we’re going to have to wait even longer, perhaps until February for official Galaxy Nexus accessories. Clove was expecting to start shipping the accessories mid-January, but a statement on their blog today states other wise. Citing delays from Samsung as the cause for the delay, their expected ship date is now February 13th. Pretty disappointing but what can we do? It’s like the Verizon Galaxy Nexus launch all over again. As Clove said in their blog …
Just when we thought we had all the bugs worked out, including that nasty volume button bug. Here comes a report of the Galaxy Nexus randomly rebooting. The Galaxy Nexus has been out for about two months, unless you’re on Verizon then it’s only been a month, and users have been reporting random reboots of their Galaxy Nexus. It seems as if the GSM version of the Galaxy Nexus seems to be affected the most by this bug. It also seems as if it doesn’t matter what your doing when it reboots, because it has been reported to reboot randomly …
Finally, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus with Ice Cream Sandwich is now available with Telus. Comparing to the previous model, the handset has a new look, feel and functionality. Apart from the latest OS, the device is powered by a 1.2GHz dual core processor and a 4.65-inch super AMOLED touchscreen display. The unit also has new Android widgets, notifications, multitasking and a lock screen option. Plus, Gmail, Google+, and Google Maps are integrated onto the device. Games, websites, apps and contacts can easily be shared by simply accessing the Android Beam. As for the camera, the Galaxy Nexus has a 5MP …
Custom recovery plays a major part in any hacking activity that we do on our Android devices. It is our last hope when things fail during our modding endeavors. It gives us the ability to restore a backup copy of our ROMs if the last one we installed did not work. If you are into modding or hacking, for sure you have already run into ClockworkMod, which is a popular recovery tool. For most of you who are fond of installing custom ROMs to your Android gadgets, this should be a typical tool. The developer of ClockworkMod Recovery just released …
