Is the radio necessary? I flashed mine to job without the radio. Is it too late to do it now?

Radio is always optional but often a good idea to flash. In this case it is a European radio and it may not be optimal for us here in North America.

You can flash it anytime in cwm recovery.

Had to go back to PA, hopefully JB gets to PA soon = ZOMFG EPIC

Are you guys running into any issues on jellybean?
Ive read some people are having youtube issues and force closes

DanHibiki 07-01-2012 05:35 PM

How do you change the default app launch after setting one to "always" already?

And anyone notice the in browser video player is TERRIBLE? and the odd thing was, a few times it automatically loaded bsplayer to view the videos (i was using xvideos for this.)

help anyone?

!Yaminashi 07-01-2012 05:51 PM

Go to settings>apps then select the app you chose as your default.
Scroll down and hit 'clear defaults'

how do you guys like the nexus? I'm deciding between this or the S3. I'm not asking for much; but I do want a decent lasting phone.

^Uhh. Google Chrome doesn't support Flash. Try Firefox or Dolphin HD:

^Nope. On Jellybean flash is officially removed.

You may not have noticed at the time but Adobe told us back in February that Flash Player would not not supported on Android 4.1 and users should uninstall Flash Player prior to upgrading to Android 4.1, Jelly Bean. Adobe was serious. There will be no Flash for Android 4.1.

So, if you were wondering why so many Android 4.1 demos at Google I/O were in HTML5. Well, now you know.

most of my browsing is now through feedly and flipboard, I'm sure most people who do serious browsing on their phones would use these services?

5.0.1 feels the same as the other builds. Battery life still isn't awesome but I think it's the kernel I'm using. I'll switch over to Franco kernel maybe in a few days.

I've got flash 11 installed from the market; kind of glad I did it before I moved over to JB.

I've had no issues or force-closes yet; it's my understanding that especially launchers that aren't compatible with JB's new filesystem don't like it and crash with it.

I'm having pretty good battery life with the stock kernel from the XDA thread; basically the same as when I was running PA and Linaro. It's so odd, though. My Quadrant score dropped by almost half since swapping back to stock from Linaro; but I am more than twice as happy with my phone now. FTMFW. Really can't wait for a Paraniod Android Jellybean though. That'll be most wonderfully epic.

See.lai; you can go with either and you'll do well I think. The S3 right now has slightly better specs in terms of LTE capability on RoBellus and the incrementally larger screen, as well as the nice 8MP camera. The Nexus however, has the benefit of being a directly google phone. If you're looking for a long-term device, that might be the deciding factor. An old coworker of mine has a Nexus S, and Google has promised to even roll out Jellybean for her, which means the Nexus Galaxy will be good for at least another iteration of Android(Key Lime Pie anyone?), while the GS3 would be lagging and potentially not supported (like all of the other Galaxy S phones don't take ICS or JB).

!MiKrofT 07-02-2012 01:21 AM

Quadrant is not a really reliable benchmark anyway so I wouldn't worry too much about the score.

Graeme S 07-02-2012 01:24 AM

Oh, I know. Which is why I'm not running back to ICS. I'm just saying...fuck the benchmarks, JB is amazing.

twitchyzero 07-02-2012 01:44 AM

no rush for JB yet
im sure there are ways to get flash running with it but adobe officially dropping support means if there's a widespread issue it's as good as dead.

WIll it be possible for the rom developers to include flash in the stable jellybean rom in the future?

Is this data restore the clockworkmod backup & restore function?

DanHibiki 07-02-2012 05:56 AM

Also. I was still able to download flash but it only works on browser and not chrome. Also, chrome can't play embedded videos. Its terrible!

I'd switch back to browser but I love chrometophone extension on PC and the how it pops up a bigger window when u click on tiny links close together.

Arg. Anyone else notice the video problems on chrome?

Simplex123 07-02-2012 10:11 AM

^You could never play flash videos on Chrome. HTML5 is fine though like YouTube. But streaming videos online you'll have to use Firefox/Dolphin.

Tim Budong 07-02-2012 10:14 AM

flash can stll be downloaded from play store till aug15
but the apk will be available afterwards
its just support thats pulled, use firefox if you still want flash

btw i fucking love GoogleNow, it knows i drink and like to read..and been to the ballroom numerous times.. it recommends places close to work. and also offers to check into 4sq LOL

Battery life is better now after flashing Franco kernel.

!Yaminashi 07-02-2012 03:34 PM

I'm on Franco nightly 210 and I get 18hrs with 3-3.5hrs screen time. Most of my time is spent on browser and greader.

What do you set your display brightness at? Mine is always at about 40% and I can get around 2.5 hours screen on time with probably the same battery life as yours. Tough to decide to jump or not, the custom roms always have little features that I value :banghead:
