Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

Anyone install the new camera UI? I'm backing up right now and installing.

And for those on Sourcery the new camera is located in the Mods section at the very bottom. You should have a different camera icon after installing. I thought I did something wrong and almost flashed again but checked my apps first and noticed a different camera icon.
 
Ha! Halon, just came here to tell folks about it. :D
Backing up now and then I'll flash. Looks to be very hit or miss for folks, but I'll give it a shot. Here's a linky for others:

And a direct download.

I'll let you know how it goes!

Edit: Works great!! Just sitting in a dark room so can't fully test out Photosphere, but seems to work well. :)
When you flash it doesn't overwrite the stock 4.1 camera or gallery so those remain.
 
Good Morning all! Happy Thursday. So looks like VZW has finished the 4G build out in my area, I had 4G my entire trip into work today. Too bad my new desk is in a deadzone, :p
 
Well bummer and plus for you Anti! :rolleyes:
Check out the new camera, it's pretty sweet. I know some folks are having issues depending on what ROM they're on. I'm on CNA 3.8.0 and it's working just fine (both cam and gallery). The "live" quick controls are awesome. Can't wait to see as much 4.2 as possible baked into the new ROMs.
 
Hello all :) Apologies for my extended absence. My thoughts are with everyone in NY and NJ and everywhere else affected by Sandy. I know we've got a lot of New Jersians in here, I sincerely hope all of you are safe and sound. Here in Boston we got quite a lot of wind, but not as much rain as was expected, and everything was pretty much back to normal on Tuesday.

For the past couple weeks I've been at a new temp job that's about 20 miles outside Boston, I have to take the extended commuter rail out there each morning, and back each evening. I usually get up around 6, and make it back home around 7 or 7:30, usually just enough time to eat dinner and veg on the couch with the lady before going to bed to start the process over again. Unfortunately, I've had just about zero energy to do pretty much anything otherwise. I'm going to make a special effort to keep doing my news posts for you guys, but I think until further notice it'll be a weekly task. Hope everyone will be understanding. :) In the meantime, I've basically done zero checking of tech news over the past couple weeks - have I missed anything big? Your guys' turn to tell me what's going on! :D (IHateMyTreo, loved the RSRSS-style weird news posts, please keep doing those!)

Other than the new job and the storm, things are pretty good here. I'm still on Sourcery v2.2, but it's really started to lag my phone. I'm also having weird issues with my vibrate/silent/ringer toggle (I use the Elixir 2 widget) not staying in the mode I choose. For example, I'll put my phone on silent before going to sleep, but sometime during the night it'll put itself on normal, and I'll be disturbed by my email or text notification noise in the morning. Very strange. :/ Are people on the newest version of Sourcery satisfied with it?

Anyway, hope everyone here is doing well, I miss this place terribly as part of my regular routine, I promise I'll be stopping in more often. My mother is actually on her way in to visit from Chicago from now until Sunday, so I may again be MIA until around then, but perhaps when you all see me next I'll have a huge link post ready. :) Stay well all of you!
 
Good morning all of you Nexicans (and our brothers and sisters that poke in and hang out here). Beautiful morning here, off to take the little guy to the vet today, he has been sneezing and shaking his head violently lately. He has never had allergies, so we are concerned that the old guy might have something else going on. At his age, i guess we should expect it. Have a great morning everyone and here is hoping those of you without power are back on the grid soon.
 
Morning folks! Thanks to Copacetic I took the dive with Windows 8 last night. I ran the upgrade assistant advisor or whatever and it just had one program that it said didn't work and one that had an upgrade. One was Thunderbird e-mail client, it had an upgrade, so I just uninstalled and I'll re-install later if I need it. The other I think was the Windows defender or whatever is on Windows 7. I'm sure there's a replacement for Windows 8.

After that, it was a really quick install even with my dual-boot set up. I just had to sit there and make sure it didn't reboot and sit at the bootloader choice too long and go into Ubuntu. The first time, it booted 3-4 times and then the screen went blank and stayed blank on the last boot. So I powered down and it came back up saying it failed install and restored Windows 7 for me.

Turns out it was my fault. I tried again and figured out that it was detecting my TV (second monitor) as my default and it wasn't on at the time. When I unplugged the HDMI cable it instantly switched over to my monitor and installation finished very quickly. 1 hour process tops including download (that took 20 minutes for me). Haven't played with it much yet, but I'll sit down and get used to it tonight. The only problem I noticed was my Photoshop and Lightroom installs didn't stick, so I'll have to re-install those.

ALSO, installed the 4.2 camera and gallery last night. Very nice!
 
Morning geek, your entry added one more crucial step, unplug all devices. That caused one of my failures as well. Glad it went so smoothly!

Had I turned on my TV and had it on the HDMI input from the PC, I would have noticed, but it wasn't on and I couldn't for the life of me figure out why it would show the bootloader and even the windows 8 logo for a few seconds and then go blank. When it finally hit me I thought, "DUH!" and sure enough, that's what it was. Wasn't a failure by the installation process, just a failure of my common sense which caused me to end the install process.
 
Look who took a pic of their self.

Anyone been on Lifehacker lately? When I try to go there i end up on lifehacker.com update. At the top of the page it says The Lifehacker backup site. Is this new? Its totally different from what I am accustomed to. Or does it mean their servers are down due to Sandy?

Server is down due to Sandy. io9 is the same way. Gizmodo was until yesterday.
 
Photosphere does take some getting to used to. One sample of our office:

Either way, I love it! Also really like the quick controls without having to go into Settings.
 
Hiya Pup! :)


EDIT: LOL, my friend in MI says his sister asked him if he was going to dress up for Halloween at work. He said "Sure, if I want to get shot!"

He works at a nuclear power plant! How many little kids make a habit of trick-or-treating a nuke plant?

I can't make stuff like this up.

I am now going to make this something to put on my bucket list - just to see the faces of who ever I can make laugh.
