Been fairly happy with the classic combo of AOKP+FrancoKernel
I love Paranoid Android...the HybridUI is so beautifull...
Using Liquid + Tuna on ATT
Best combo of speed and battery for my usage habits.
Wow, a lot more people are using black ice than I thought! Put me down for black ice too
I'm GSM on telstra in Australia.
Using GladOS with heavy 3G+Wifi and most syncs on I get roughly 3h 30m screen on time, its alot better than when I was on liquid or gummy, but I put that mostly back to ezekeel and GladOS
Pretty much any of the rooms based on droidtheory's work.

I just left Sprint for Verizon and picked up the Galaxy Nexus. Really love this phone so far. My only problem, I came from the E4GT and I'm left a little disappointed by the Nexus' screen. Is there any way to tweak the Nexus screen colors, or is it as good as it can get? I know the E4GT is AMOLED Plus and the Nexus isn't plus, so is it as good as it can be?
Most custom kernels have Ezekeel's color control and can be tweaked using the Franco.kernel app.

Okay thanks, that works.
Cm9 also has color control builtin.
Will the sprint gnex ever get an official aokp rom? I have been itching to try it.

No no I know of black ice and all the mods that have been used from aokp in other roms. Its just I'm looking for a solid base for a rom that I want to start and just wanted to see the official rom as I haven't used it since I got my gnex.

Dude, that's absolutely normal. The screen is basically the biggest power consumer. My screen takes usually around 60%. It all depends how you use your phone... If you let it sit around and don't use it for over a day, you'll notice your battery accounts for a smaller percentage of overall battery consumption. If you spend over 4 hours browsing the web non-stop, the phone will run out of juice in that time period, and your screen will probably show its taking up something close to 80 percent. Which makes sense...

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.

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.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
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!

I have I galaxy nexus that I rooted and flashed custom roms. This guy on craigslist is offering his s3 with a case and an extended battery for my nexus. Is it worth the trade? I like the roms on my nexus like xylon(it takes paranoid android, cyanogenmod, aokp and blends it into one rom.). Does the s3 have that or something similar that includes pie controls?

My wife has a gnex and I have a gs3, and I'd probably keep the gnex if I were you. I prefer AOSP ROMs and they just work a bit better on the gnex that the gs3 without giving up much speed.
Slim bean works great on the gs3 for me so far though. If you really need LTE, might be worth the trade, otherwise I'd stick with gnex.
Or you could do the trade, sell the gs3, and buy a new nexus 4

LTE is addiction once get the hang of it
Pacman ROM is what you are looking for if you want all the features in one ROM.
GS3 vs Nexus
- Better CPU
- Better GPU
- 2x RAM
- Better Display
- SD Card Slot
- LTE
Sounds like a no brainer to me.

I would go with the Galaxy S3. Better specs hardware wise. And there's a ton of great roms for it.
