[REQ] Closest we can get to a GSIII? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok, so I've flashed the Galaxy S III launcher and installed S Voice as well; What other things can I/we install to get our epic's as close to the GSIII as possible?

I'm torn between where I will move on to when my upgrade comes. The Gnex or SGS3. I am leaning more towards the Gnex cause that's where the rest of my team has gone and if feel it is just a better overall phone. But who knows, my mind can change several times in the next 8 to 10 months

I9100 Porting over in the I777 forum!!!

[MOD] I9100 ROM Hellraiser for I777 (Alpha 0.3.1, 12/3/2011) [BUGS/DEV ONLY]
Can't wait for are development to start picking up, seems like the I777 is starting to pick up?. Maybe we will get some of that love once are developers start porting the I777 roms over here. I'm pretty sure the I9100 has the most rom selection out of the SSGS 2 line up.
i777 is not the same as i727
2 different phones
i727 is a direct evil twin of the t989
but i777 is the cousin of i9100 or ATT version of the international SGS2

Oh, it'll be out probably the same time it's predecessors have been previous years.
Around August/September. I could be wrong, but that's my speculation. SGSII is selling too well to jump to the SG3.
Unless HTC steps up their game, Galaxy Note if it goes to sprint, or gs3. I really don't have any use for gnex.

He had a lot of trouble with Sprint in his area and mentioned awhile back that he would probably switch phones/carriers. Running a search of his most recent posts it looks like he moved on to the HTC One X. I don't know if he still has his E4GT and is going to be dev'ing for it but you could probably PM and ask him.
Hate to lose him but certainly understand needing a phone/carrier that can be depended on.
He moved on to at&t

He was completely disgusted with Sprint especially their horrible modem implimentations when he moved on.
I heard he was abducted by aliens so he could make roms for them but the spaceship couldn't make it out the earths atmosphere so now he's being held against his will in an unknown location until they get another space craft to repair the first one and then any rom he creates after that will be out of this world.

I'm a bit undecided as to where I'm going. The Eclipse looks nice, as do the Nexii rumors, as do the EvoLTE and SGS3. I doubt I would want the GNote2 though, unless someone can convince me why it's not too big, especially since I already have a tablet.

Most of the devs working on Exynos (like codeworkx and Entropy512) can't stand it, so I think I will be avoiding that. Plus from a hardware standpoint, the quadcore A9 is about equivalent to dual core Krait, so quad core Krait will kick its ass. Plus the Adreno 320 GPU in the S4 Pro processors is supposedly as powerful as the Xbox 360's GPU. It is the fastest SOC on the market. Plus, 5.5 in is pretty big especially considering that I already have a tablet. Although, I have never used a note so I would probably at least give it a chance at Sprint.
