Unrooting Galaxy Nexus - dies when plugged in Well, I provided a link to Google's page with the original ROM (and now the 4.1 one is available there too). You don't need a nandroid backup; that's just an alternative that would've let you avoid wiping your data too. You may find these directions more helpful than mine, but if you truly can't get into bootloader mode, then a) something is seriously wrong with your phone, and b) you're probably hosed. |

Unrooting Galaxy Nexus - dies when plugged in You say it "won't boot", but have you tried what I described? Stopping at the bootloader is different from trying to boot the Android OS. If even that doesn't work, it sounds like a hardware problem, because flashing AOKP doesn't change the bootloader. Anyway, if you can get to CWM, did you make a nandroid backup of your original ROM? If so, just restore that. |

How is the Gmail password stored in Android - and where? Whatever they are, they're something that can be used to gain access to the account. But, @SachinShekhar, the accounts.db file is protected from being read by accounts other than system. |

Why can the Nexus 7 display so much more content on-screen than the Galaxy Nexus? This is a good answer overall, but the "nothing to do with PPI" paragraph makes a false distinction between DPI and PPI. See my comment on Mohammed Essam's answer. |

Why can the Nexus 7 display so much more content on-screen than the Galaxy Nexus? @DerekKwok, DPI is a printing term that's not really applicable to computer displays. When it's used in relation to computer displays, it's generally a synonym for PPI, because the image is made of pixels, not dots. |

Why can the Nexus 7 display so much more content on-screen than the Galaxy Nexus? Basically, the UI elements are scaled to appear with a consistent physical size across devices. That's why you can fit more of them on a device that's physically larger. |

Why can the Nexus 7 display so much more content on-screen than the Galaxy Nexus? @zacharyalexstern, PPI is relevant because it determines font scaling. 12-point text is supposed to be one-sixth of an inch tall (72pt = 1in), which corresponds to 36 pixels on the 216ppi Nexus 7, and about 53 pixels on the 316ppi Galaxy Nexus. Other UI elements are scaled based on PPI too. |
