The Official DF Galaxy Nexus Pre-Release Thread

[Diab210]

I could be wrong, but from my knowledge, all Android phones use micro usb, so all are interchangeable. I have Moto, Samsung and HTC chargers and they all work for each of our phones. The connection plug looks different on each, but they still plug in and work for each phone.

The only thing I could see being different would be the charging voltage and amperage for the different batteries. I don't think there would be a problem pluging a moto car charger into the nexus to charge it, but I'm not entirely sure if you would end up damaging the battery in the nexus over time if the charging amperage from the moto plug didn't completely match up with the nexus' battery requirement.

My apologies for the confusion.

Forget absolutely everything I posted (including the Droid Life article) and do only this: [HOW TO] Unlock Bootloader & Root GSM Nexus - xda-developers

Follow this exactly. With this method you don't have to install ADB. Everything is easy, in a neat little package. This method will unlock your bootloader, root your device and give you superuser.

You need superuser to install root apps like overclock and others.

You got it.

You can link to that info in the thread you start (and give due credit), but I'd rather our members have a place to go for questions/comments that don't have to be addressed by the original author without having to go to a different website and/or signing up if they haven't already.

You keep saying this over and over again on almost every page. I think by this time we all now realize you don't think the phone is ever coming. Actually all but 3 of your 274 posts is saying that this phone isn't coming...

We get it, We get it.... the phone isn't coming..... We get it... We get it...

+1! Let's try & stay positive peeps ;-)

So, what is the First app everyone is going to install on their G-Nex???

 

[goosedeath]

At first look it appears that way, but if you read further down the page, someone explains that the root is permanent and why.

Thanks good sir!

Galaxy Nexus lands in Verizon stores December 9th, Droid 4 on the 8th -- Engadget

EDIT: But the dates next to Droid 4 and White RAZR make no sense... unless of course the D4 really is out Thursday, but the White RAZR just got announced today.

USB voltages are standardized.

I thought the same thing.

Looks like those release emails made their way to Engadget about 30 minutes ago? Did not want to get my hopes up, but darnit, they're up....

Guess I'll have to go on a recon mission to Verizon Thursday after hours....
