So i reading that if you are @ CES now, you have challenge your phone vs an window to see which is faster and if you win you get $100 and if you lose, you lose your phone and get an windows phone.
so can the epic beat an win7 phone?

Stock, no root and bogged down by TW, probably not. I doubt they would allow a rooted overclocked phone to enter.

Get the stock EI22 Tar and remove bloatware but keep TW they wouldn't notice the difference.

Faster for what? Web? The UIs are completely different. Just get an insane fast launcher on CM7 with all non-needed apps removed (no gapps) and over clock the CPU to 1500 ghz and the gpu to 300mhZ

Exactly But how do they think that we lose our phones because then how are they supposed to activate that phone under account with pushing the 2 years im so confused on that part. and the UI is so different the damn WP7 phones are a screen with blocks ; oooh so great looking almost like 8-bit haha. I guarantee their roms are like what 20 mb's haha they have nothing compared to android.
And if they do a speed test like quadrant forget it they lost haha.
I could downgrade to Froyo and use Old Goodies and get over 4000 on Quadrant. LOL they wouldn't know what hit them
its an win-win. if the epic is faster, you get 100$ if you "lose" you get an new phone. you can play with the new phone for an few months and sell it later. the value of that phone should be alot higher then epic. there is no losing.
@ XxLostSoulxX: i would think you activate the @ CES and then they recycle your phone.
it doesnt say what the test are but sure ms figured that they will lose few 1000s but win when more ppl are using these phones. cuz you may like it after using it.
and yes, there is an keyboard one,4 the keyboard ppl.

Iphone Is like MIUI, but closed source. It's a nice OS, it's up to the consumer to decide what OS suits you. If you want something that "just works" go for an iphone, if you're all about customizing and making your phone yours, go for Android.

hmmm, that solves it for me, I'm running Ti. Backup on my CM7 b/c i want to try the MIUI, but since it's like the iPhone, i think i'll pass and go try the Marcusant Rom... #WIN
update: I flashed MIUI anyway... it's growing on me. The dev did an incredible job on this ROM. I think i'll have this one for a hot minute, then give Marcusant Rom a whirl! I'm sure after i get my fill, there will be some monster updates, like CM9 on the horizon. #newWIN

I have tried the rom, and for the life of me i can't understand why anyone with a brain would want an evo that runs and looks like a piece of **** iphone.
If you are so determined to be another brainless zombie then go buy the iphone and stop polluting the good name of android by using a rom like MIUI.

Fast, efficient, themes, intuitive, GB, tons of built in useful apps...
Sure, not for everyone. You lose Sense. Its not your typical pure AOSP Rom.
But for me, its the best experience possible given my usage habbits.
Why. This is Why!
MIUI just has so much more built in stock! Think of it as an alternative launcher of sorts. Its still android just with MIUI on top. I would compare MIUI to Sense, Launcher pro, spb. They just emphasize the themes more.
Built in FTP, screenshots and eye candy!!!!!
You obviously haven't ran it for longer than a week........
There's more to MIUI than looking like an iPhone. I don't like the iPhone, I don't want an iPhone, but I like MIUI. It runs well, it has some nice rom-specific apps, and with easy theming it looks really nice.
Anyone that has to rant that much about hating the iPhone and anything that looks like it needs to grow up. Sorry. People like what they like, I'm not sure why you think calling people names over personal preference makes you better than them.
My Evo + xda Premium App = This post.
I would like to add that the Iphone is a great phone. I would recommend it for any one not tech savy (intermediate user), on the other hand android is for the more advanced user who is NOT scared to void a warranty lol.
Only self indulgent turds use miui. Its overrated.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
First off lol Iphone is over priced and insane price for the plan. Nothing new about all of them the latest phone's kick the crap outta them. I hate iphone but have nothing against people who like it personal taste.
Miui isn't all that bad it's fun to mess around with to see what you can do with it worth checking out nice features in it. CM7 is sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet takes my cake
well i like my LP better on VP3.2 but to each his own, i think miui is a good transition rom for recovering appleoholics like my wife who traded the iphone for an evo, but couldn't really get used to it at first, i gave her miui and earned myself a nice BJ, couple months later made the flash to real android with azrael and, happy ending
lol. I love when people get mad about rom choices. If you actually used MIUI and saw all of the benefits(wireless FTP alone makes it awesome) then you would not cry. It offers things that no other rom offers. It is faster. Because it looks like the iphone you hate it. Why do you hate the iphone, because you love Android? If you love Ford do you have to hate Chevy? Grow up.
When MIUI gets the errors out of GB I'm switching back to it. They were becoming so excellent with 2.2, wimax was around the corner, then GB leaked.
MIUI is a great ROM. Just because it looks like an iPhone launcher doesn't mean it's bad, not at all. If you're going to whine and complain about the iPhone, then do it elsewhere, because I for one don't care. MIUI with Launcher 7 was one of my favorite setups. I had great battery life, the menus are easy to navigate, and it has lots of cool little features. MIUI is a very creative ROM, especially when compared to other ROMs that don't bring anything new to the table.
It seems to me just you're letting your hatred of the iPhone blind you to the greatness that is MIUI.

Well, devs are staying behind because we are all starting to see how the game is going. Too many Android phones are coming out at once and money ain't coming any faster. I'm sure if people paid devs to come dev for the device, we'd have more devs...so if you want to pay for someone's E4GT, go right on ahead. If you don't want to, just wait it out. This phone is already pretty sweet and the problems we do have, a dev probably won't be able to fix those..so..yeah.
This phone is sick dude, just enjoy it and be happy that you don't own a device where you have to depend on the devs just to be able to get through the day.
Having it from release date, the OG Epic did NOT have terrible development. Just not the development some people wanted. And there were "some" people who were ungrateful and rude, like with any device. This one already has great developers, and we are slowly getting more. Be patient.

The Epic scene was pretty good. A lot of people came from that Evo...smh, the Evo messed the whole game up if ya ask me. Now people willl sit around and say their phone is garbage if it doesn't have the same dev scene that the Evo had.
Little do most people know that the Evo was damn near the same device as the Desire, N1 and Dinc. So most of the reason why its scene was so great was because a dev from any one of those phones could just port their roms over and all they had to do was swap out the hardware files and the kernel. Other than those 2 things, everything was damn near exactly the same.
Yeah I think we just have to be patience

what do we really need here? cyanogen and miui and stock roms. that is asking alot but that would be epic. for now i am loving starburst. love asop but don't remove touchwiz launcher and widgets. just my opinion.
I had the First Epic and the Dev's there were GREAT. We may not have had as many as some phones like the Evo but the ones we had did great work and who needs 100 roms to choose from when the ones we had did the trick. We had some great Roms and Themes and the fixes came pretty fast.
I have not rooted this phone yet mainly because I have not felt the need. The only thing I am missing is WiFi Tether. I am sure when this LOS gets worked out and the devs get their hands on the original source we will see much more. I am grateful for anyone that helps make this phone better, but it is pretty dang good out of the box. The best I have ever had.

Well MIUI is MIUI so it is what it is. But with ICS you get hardware support.
G2x - 2.3.7 CM7
Transformer - 3.2 Revolver OC/UV
From the bottom of my heart... ----> **** Miui
Educate yourself!
I have to say that looks just about like past MIUI iterations. And I agree with what someone said earlier in the thread, the launcher does look quite dated. Quite frankly I never did like MIUI because I'm not a fan of imitating the iPhone.
God damn that music app is beautiful.
As much as I hate MIUI's lack of app drawer, I love how everything is skinnable and gets updated frequently with useful content.
Also they just seem to have a better handle on interface design than any manufacturer or in some places even Google themselves.
You are using Android, and you are on a forum called XDA-developers. Presumably you care a little bit about software freedom, openness, being able to tinker and not be limited by what some vendor tells you to do.
So what the hell are you doing with MIUI?

So you're telling people who take advantage of software freedom by using the software of their choice to not use the software they like?
Seems a bit counter-intuitive don't you think?
In fact the very idea behind the "freedom" of Android is the release of free source code for developers to do whatever they want with. The developers behind MIUI just happen to be making something you dislike.
Miui is actually pretty cool if you replace the launcher; the built in customizations are pretty in depth. I agree with most in that I hate the stock launcher and iPhone appearance, but that all easily goes away with ADW or Go!

The Music.apk from MIUI usually works across the different roms. I'm pretty sure you can install it and get it working.

I personally don't like Miui because its too much like iOS and less like Android but you are so wrong here.
I know bench marks are not worth much but I could get my Nexus S to score over 3000 in Quadrant using Miui. Only Miui. I could not get score's like that with other roms.
Its a very very good rom, just not the Android style.

Im in your boat, but i thought about it and its like, what would you go to? Downgrade to a GN with no SDcard slot and crappier camera?
Well eventually get ICS, MAYBE CM9, and when ICS is out some roms based on it. I wont spend hundreds just to get ICS a couple months early on crappier hardware.
I may sell it in the summer for a GSIII depending how that looks, but i wont side/downgrade.
Any reason why you guys didn't post this in his screen fix thread directly? He's still responding to questions over there

At least touchwiz has neat features like status bar brightness and swipe to call/text.

Going from ICS to touchwiz GB has been, less than exciting. Luckily the hardware is so awesome.
+1. So what's going to happen when you get ics and then announce the next version.? You guys will be in the same boat again obsessing and asking when how to get it and where the devs went. I just can't believe people forked out 500+ dollars for this phone only to ubderplay it because of another phone. If you knew that the nexus was coming out why weren't you patient enough to just put your money on that. I love my gs2. Its getting o
Ics one way or another but for the meantime I am perfectly happy with my purchase for what my phone is now.

well, lets stay in track folks, like the thread says any news on supercurio? im also exited for ics, and its killing me that we dont have it but, if supercurio could make my screen look even better than what it is, im all good =D
Just keep in mind that he won't be able to fix the problem, only mask it to an extent. If you're considering selling your phone you might as well just go ahead and do it.

oh i kno he wont fix it, its a hardware issue, but if he could make the screen look better u kno
ima sell it but not now, until i hear something about the gs3
You've been complaining a lot, it seems to me you are not happy with this phone. That's ok, not everyone is going to like it. I think you should just go ahead and sell it.

Understandable, (un)fortunately there really isn't a better option unless its the Exynos version or the GNex, and i like the term "side"-grading because that's really all it is. What's bugging you about it? I think I'm GLAD that I can take a rest from all the flashing and sleepless nights battery calibrating finding the best combinations of roms and kernels (this is my first android, coming off 4 years of Bberry). How will a new device change your user experience/expectations?
I recently bought a nexus 7 for school, and i'm an avid follower of my devices developement since i had my galaxy s vibrant. It is SOOO nice getting the update withing a week of google releasing it, i have 4.2 and it is PHENOMINAL!!! We the s3 user base are what.. 4 months past 4.1.1 release, then there is 4.1.2, then 4.2... um two versions behind and no firm commitemnt of release. I used cm10 nightlies for months and the bugs were exausting, but i respect the work they do, excellent but there are nevertheless many bugs, hence the long nigtly list of changes. PURE up to DATE android is sublime.
And quad core w/ 2gb RAM... that was just a dream for s3 users.
I will be selling my s3... buying the 16 gb... forever more be up to date and loving the android expereince... and probably come out with a small profit
no haters please there are plenty of those threads, I would like this to be a support thread for those making the jump from s3 to nexus 4. welcome to the fold!
While I'm glad you are happy, I do have to question this kind of mentality.
I love having my S3, but I would of gotten any other new phone. The S3 just had a significant improvement over my Vibrant.
However, going from S3 to Nexus, while some perks.. I don't see the reason for all the hype. You're still talking about a phone just slightly above on par with the S3. All for what? You'll be getting the same updates, just one gets them faster. It runs about the same speed, or at least from what you can tell without an app.
So.. What's the necessity? What's the reason for such rampant rushing to the newest and best if it is just a slight increase?
Seems to be a mindset that should be avoided, not praised.

What is the point of this junk thread?
I'm sure the Nexus 4 forum would rather hear you geek over your new 4.
CM10 is flawless for me.

Haters gonna hate. This thread is extremely pointless though, lol. I'm going to make the jump in a couple weeks probably (waiting for official reviews and for my friend to get the phone to play and feel it up)... so this thread is a "I'm leaving and want a good bye, and why I'm leaving" thread?

Enjoy your same camera, same RAM, same data and real world (actual) speeds, your limited storage space, and your fragile (easy to crack) glass backing... And after all.. It is LG.. Lmao
At least you can show off your meaningless benchmarks to your cool school friends :beer::beer::beer::beer:

lol excitement. well thats good! im glad you are happy and joint and i see where you come from but the thread was kinda poinltess an you kinda set yourself for everyone to throw stick and stones at you. we already know youll get faster updates, the phone is basically an s3 with a different screen, 2 more cores and an amped GPU. but we are glad you're going to enjoy it. :good:

I'm sorry but its attitude like this that causes buyers remorse. You should spend a few days in the gnex forums before you quickly realize its no different. Once the gnex got jb people were itching for the next thing which was 4.1.2. Then when they got that they are irxhing again for 4.2. Catch my drift. I say get a device you are happy with and satisfied with the version of android. If you worry about updates you're always going to be worrying and not be satisfied. My 2 cents.

I agree with u.. He's just looking for attention and something to ***** about.. What nice about the s3 is their will always be many different options of ROMs.. Twiz ,Asop , pa, and just different options.. That's what's great about s3s.. I'm betting you'll see him in the nexus thread *****ing about something pointless like he is here and has done in the past just to get some attention.. Good riddance...

You forgot to mention its made by lg which has a piss poor track record for quality, google is already including bumpers with the nexus because the glass back has been very easy to crack. I haven't read 1 review yet saying the n4 is much better than anything else. As for JB updates, between frosty, doc's Sprint port, and Xquzit there are plenty of great choices already.
For me personally JB doesn't have anything in it that I don't have with ics. Ok, I don't have the very latest version of google now but other than that what am I missing?
I hate pointless threads like this. Mod notified.
