I've always been a big fan of the nexus live wallpaper. I've been using Nexus Revamped ever since I got this phone, but id like to get the new Nexus S one. I've done the update.zip from the front page of the xda site when it was a featured article but it didn't work on this phone.
Does anyone know if there is a way to get it on our phones either legit or just a really good copy?

Is there a TouchWiz theme for the Nexus. Would love it.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
That funny because most people got the gnex for the ABSENCE of manufacturer skins like touchwiz, blur, sense. To each his own I guess but I personally am not aware of a touchwiz theme.

Why in earth did you buy the nexus.... really lame..

OMG!!!!!!! Touch wiz on a Nexus lol!? Touch wiz was the reason I sold my at&t note, well that and the current lack of development compared to the international Note. Plus once AT&T Note gets its official ICS perhaps months from now, it will have a touch wiz overlay. BOO!
Is there a MotoBlur theme?
If so, I would be interested.

Hey guys. Long story short I've ended up with a large amount of money. Essentially, i will return to Samsung. Its a matter of which device. I love the s3 touchwiz ux, and want that immensely. The s3 is obviously the big choice here, but being a college student I'd like to save... so I'm a bit confused.
Essential if there will be a good stable rom/port of the s3 software, i may buy the nexus.
Thoughts?

Hey guys
So currently I'm using a Gnex w/ a minor crack in the screen. I am honestly thinking of upgrading to the S3 due to a opportunity.
However, since the Gnex is from google compared to S3 from samsung, I know the Gnex will get more support apps and ROM wise. right?
Also, I don't really like to upgrade too often... so would switching to S3 be a smart move? since I heard the new google phone might come out w/ android 5.0
In terms of longevity, which phone should I stick with? in terms of support, accessories and that I won't feel it's outdated
Cheers in advance
go to galaxy s2 forum and see how much development is there. S3 also like S2 is very very popular even being this new.

yes I know the S2 was very popular
but would google's flagship phone be even more?
The only real android experience is nexus.

I think it's safe to assume most people that have moved from a Nexus to an S3 wouldn't continue to lurk in the Nexus forums. Probably best to ask in the S3 forums :good:
I love my Nexus and will always stay Nexus for the stock Android experience and abundance of ROMs. That said though I did try a S3 4g/LTE model today and was MIGHTY impressed with how snappy it was with Jellybean.
I've been tempted several times. Its the physical buttones that are holding me back.
I recently had the chance to get it myself. But I couldn't do it. I was looking at the aosp development, and from what I'm used to it was weak. I could live with touchwiz but I just don't like it. The physical keys where also a downer. Just something I wouldn't like to give up. And since i already have a quad core tablet there really was nothing besides a better camera and even then the gnex camera is pretty good I don't listen to what others say I know what I've seen it do.

Wrong i have both and im using my nexus now. Gnex will always be smooter than and non native aosp devive

I have both as well (SGS2 being my daily phone) and for me (my own personal preference) both the GNex and SGS3 has their own perks in their respective right. With that being said, if i had to choose, my GNex will come out on top each time. But my SGS3 is a damn good device.

The latest Touchwiz is pretty bad. I had TW ICS on my tab2 and just recently we got TW JB on the tab2. I don't know if the SGS3 will get something similar but this latest version of TW JB on my Tab 2 is slow, the browser force closes and the interface has been changed for the worst. The ICS version of TW was better than this newest version they have released.

have you even tried a gs3? even though the gnex is really smooth, the s3 is pretty much on par with their touchwiz.

The bigger question is did you read what he said? Now re-read what you typed.
He was talking about AOSP. If there was still confusion, he posted specifically that he was talking about AOSP, over an hour before you posted.

For the last time im not on about ****wizzzz im on about pure Google Android like cm10
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I have both and most of the time use my s3 for the battery life. If I want to try something new or interesting I'll usually do it on the nexus. As far as bad aosp goes I'm not sure what you're smoking, we get nightly cm10 builds consistently. I'm currently running the m2 release and it's perfectly suitable for every day use. Prior to this I was running paranoid and it was great. M2 just has better battery life. Also while they do get worse battery life than touch wiz it's still better than my nexus.

lolno.
Well a lot of people I know have the s3. A lot.
Anyway...I've had a lot of opportunities to play with it. It is very very very fast first and foremost!
I've mostly played with the ICS versions. So smooth and a real joy to use. The nature UX is also very nice. Its one of the best android skin I've used from any OEM I think. They finally moved away from trying to mimic the IOS look and feel with the UI which is good.
I've tried the jellybean version of the s3 just once and to be honest I could not tell a big difference. That's because the s3 is awesome with speed and responsiveness even with ICS.
The screen is excellent also, and the feel and look of the handset in the hand is nice. It looks a lot like the galaxy nexus with buttons.
I would not move to the s3 as a full time replacement for the galaxy nexus however. Simple reason being that I had the galaxy note and waiting for ICS and Jellybean was not my thing.
I'm too comfortable with quick stock updates from my nexus s days. Plus the main reason also...the galaxy nexus is insanely fast and smooth already!
