Earlier today the AOSP got a new source to work with, Android 4.0.4. This news definitely made a few people in the development community happy. The new incremental update is said to have hundreds of small changes that make the overall experience even better, not sure how that is possible. Google engineer Jean-Baptiste Queru made the [...]

A few weeks ago this nearly identical update dropped for the Google Nexus S and came with a heavy price. It was reported that the update was breaking WiFi and tethering options on the devices that installed it. After this issue was identified to be a constant problem, Google pulled the update to avoid a major [...]

Just like with all direct devices from Google, the Nexus S will be getting another update to latest firmware that is available.

Sense like TouchWiz isn’t something that normally jumps from phone to phone like other ROMs such as CM7 or MIUI.
