In the browser, go to settings, labs and check the box for quick controls. You can press on the side of the screen and bring up bookmarks.

Any way to organize your gallery? Rename albums? Etc?

That case is the best, I have one, it's cheap and it still fits perfectly even with the extended battery installed

and I got the case for xmas from my dad

I didn't see this, but go into the settings-developer options-force gpu rendering and select it to force apps to use the gpu for 2D rendering. This really speeds up some apps like Twitter but has adverse effects on other apps. The News and Weather app slows way down for example. I generally keep it on, but it's worth trying out to see if performance improves.

And is there any way to view your browser bookmarks as a list? The thumbnails are driving me nuts.

To silence incoming call .. press the volume down button once. should work. havent really tried it. but it's pretty prevailent on android phones

I tested it a short while ago and it works exactly as you predicted.

i do not know the brand . just walked int a verizon store and asked to see a silicone case in black. 5 miutes later same one as in video.. like the case a lot... looks like a bigger version of the nexus s.mow. that was my favorite design for a cell so far..

I've been trying to figure out what to do with the videos that I take with my Nexus. I don't see an option to upload them to Google+....it does pictures though. The only way I seem to be able to get them out of my phone is to connect it to a pc and drag them out. I'm curious if anyone knows what I may be doing wrong.

Open the stock gallery and find the video and long press it (don't open it) the share button pops up and you can do what you want with it.

Is there any way to get more than 5 home screens without a different launcher?

I dont think so.

When using tapatalk or any other program, try to set background color to black.

Black saves more battery on the screen and also dark vertical lines are not noticeable at all.

maybe there's a toggle app for reverse color (it's there in the native developer settings)

Have you tried GoLauncher EX?

Yes. I still prefer the stock launcher.

Not sure if this was mentioned - easy way to access your bookmarks in the browser.

Hold down the back button on the bottom for a few seconds. Your history and bookmarks will then appear.

I've found quickpic app to be the most useful app for organizing galleries.

If you want to organize your bookmarks alphabetically there is an app called dmarks from the market.

Or if you use Chrome, you can organize them there too. Whatever you have saved from Chrome automatically goes to your phone browser. Kind of cool!

Is there any way to set custom alarm tracks without rooting? Froyo supported it but ICS doesn't pull from Android System tracks.

Not that I know of, this only works if you use Chrome as your browser and you are signed into your Google account in Chrome.
