Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

Boy, LA is tough. One night parked on the street and look what happened to the Shuttle.

JK, JK.
 
That's Mt Mitchell on the top left, highest peak east of the Mississippi. We are just about at peak here.

Ah, I've climbed that mountain with my dad years ago. Nice, leisurely hike actually. The views aren't the best unfortunately since there's no tree line. One of the things I really miss about growing up, hiking in the Presidentials (in NH) and the Adirondacks. Unfortunately, the day we summitted Mt Marcy in NY, it was super foggy and raining so we didn't stick around for any of the views. :(
 
^Indeed, the dark mornings don't do me any favors in getting up. Especially when the house is colder now and the blankets feel so warm!
 
Good morning - for some reason I am quite the opposite (sorta). Once I get out of bed I am awake - went for another run this morning, but boy was it freezing out. Not sure how much longer this will last.

Oh well happy hump day everyone!
 
How is JB Sourcery working everyone? I am having issues with CNA lately and I am not sure what is going on.

The phone lags really badly sometimes to the point where it becomes totally unresponsive and I even will get the "Not Responding" dialog in some apps, which I haven't seen in a LONG time. I was thinking of going to JellyBelly because its so lightweight, but I think that it may be missing some of the features that I love in Custom ROMs.

Like right now my Spotify radio (on 4G) is skipping in certain places on random songs, ugh.
 
Sourcery is one of the smoothest ROMs I've run Stig. I ran JellyBelly, CNA, and even AOKP for a little bit. Sourcery has been the best. Not even close.
 
EDITED:

Quick unlock with PIN - YES
Emoji - YES
Group Messaging - NO
I'm waiting for that last one.

CNA 3.7 included it, but he pulled the update a few days back because of some build issue that was causing bootloops and has been dark on the net since then so waiting to see.

It might be time for a good fresh wipe though if going to CNA 3.7 too.

What kernel is everyone running? I am on Franco nightly 290 with some modifications I found on Rootz, but I might go back to Franco or Lean stable when I flash again and leave it at that and see how well it performs.
 
As far as I know, no ROM has group messaging worked out yet. Like you said, 3.7 was pulled. I'm running Franco nightly 283. Running very well.

JellyBelly has had it in since v8 (up to 9.1 now) and I know it has worked really well there. I just have some family members with iPhones so I'd rather wait for the feature to be built into one of the ROMs I enjoy using.
 
NC, no kidding, I remember you.:)

I'd use wub's toolkit, its the easiest for getting root.

Unforgiven,

well, after an exhaustive internet search of Wub's toolkit, which I could never find, I decided to use Wug's toolkit, and it worked! (LOL, jk!) Seriously, thanks for the suggestion - after getting the drivers installed, it worked well.

Here's another pic I took with Nessie on our bike ride down the Virginia Creeper Trail. If you've never done that ride, it is an absolute blast! 17 miles DOWNHILL, which means little pedaling! My kinda ride! We hit the leaf colors nearly at their peak, albeit maybe a little early. Here's a sample:

NC, I just thought of something. I don't remember when you dropped off the map. I used to be pupkact, but changed my username. Folks call me Pup for the most part now.
 
Well peeps, its been a blast. I have ignored this watering hole for a while now, the S3 is the reason. But it is pretty much official. I am relinquishing ownership of my Gnex.

Don't worry though, its going to a great home where I hope it serves the new owner better then it did for me :)

The Epic pre release thread and now the Gnex watering hole, the device did not have a chance to compete with either for me :)

Bye bye, Gnex, I wish it would have worked out better for us :)

Find me in the S3 watering hole, though I may still peek in here time to time. Thanks for the blast everyone!
