Nah, he's asking about ROM updates. Titanium Backup won't help there.

Not too bad I guess.

I like the Ubuntu mobile but one thing disappoints me is the lack of home screen.

 

[Martin]

Imo the nicest feature of them all is that you can plug it into a monitor and then it's like having a desktop or even a tv, an OS running on the phone which can control various other devices (at least according to how they promote it).

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

I like it very much. Look forward to using it.

They have nailed the notification dropdown. Also, the lack of soft/hard buttons is great. Now developers can integrate the exact buttons they need in the menu specific to their app.

I'm loving the new Swype keyboard. Not only does it have a good text prediction, but it suggests grammatical corrections.

CM roms are useless on a Galaxy Nexus. There are just too many bugs to be worth it.

The only phones I would recomend a custom rom is the phones that have lost official support. Like my Galaxy Ace for example, stuck on 2.3.6 but I am running a 4.2.1 version. But there are some minor bugs and If not for the major upgrade in build number it wouldn't be worth it.

i would recommend trying cm 10 stable version, i have it running and not a single bug for the past month. key word being stable.

oh yes my fav grammer nazi there recent update is awesome

Some things that official roms have but cyanogen doesn't have.

- stock radio support
- timer in camera app and other options (and in most cases a better app (don't know what kind is in Nexus))
- in my experience always a worse battery life. Sometimes more sometimes less.
- GPS fix slower.

Even the radio itself is huge for me. I don't know if Nexus has a FM receiver but this would be a big deal on some other phones. I can get by with
Spirit FM on my Ace but it's a much worse user experience.

I somehow agree with you, I root and flash custom roms when I lose hope of upgrades from the manufacturer.

What are your thoughts about the xperia Z/ZL? I was considering the Nexus 4, but its limitations made my consider it.

Anyone tried the Nextlauncher from Goteam? its really fancy!

Do you think the Firefox OS will have any chance to survive in the market?

Love everything about it except the size.

Nope. Will check though.

No idea. I'm personally more interested in Ubuntu OS TBH.

It will be released for the Galaxy Nexus by the end of February

It would be interesting to test it but I like homescreens.

How many do you use on your phone right now? I can't get myself to use more than 3 really.

Only one. I will post screenshots from all my devices.

I know that the 2nd one is the GNex. What about the first? The Sensation?
