GummyNex on the GalaxyNex
I finally decided to install a custom ROM on my Galaxy Nexus. I was initially planning to keep the phone on the stock ROM for as long as possible, but I decided that I wanted to get the lastest bug fixes from Android 4.0.3 and it seems like Google is never going to push them out.
The ROM I went with is GummyNex. I've been very happy with it so far. It adds toggles to the notification shade for all the wireless functions such as Wifi, Bluetooth and even the 4G. I also like that I can add a dedicated search button to the bottom of the search. I miss having that and it's annoying to try and find where the search feature is in particular apps.
The greatest thing I've noticed though is the battery life. I think it took a couple days for the battery to report the right numbers, but I'm now seeing really long life. Right now I'm at nearly 13 hours and still have 40% battery left. And that was with a couple hours of the screen being on. I do have the extended battery, but I was still only seeing about 15 hours total with that before.
