I love aosp/aokp. But I decided to order the new sprint evo lte.
I love the gnex. Its 1 of my favorite phones. Now with the announcement of jb and all this crazy development, I'm sad to see it go.
Anyone have a similar situation going on?

Best of luck to you and your EVO LTE.
To see it go where ?

Please don't flame me. Honest opinions from people who has used the Droid RAZR xt910 (gsm). Should I trade my Nexus for one? It is a white version with box and 16gb SD card. I'm using straight talk at&t so hopefully it'll work flawlessly. Any advice? I loved my Atrix 2 when I had it and I love my gnex. :/ But the RAZR is like a thin Atrix 2. Help!!!! Lol

What's the negatives of the RAZR gsm? Aside from developmental purposes.

Um I had it before and it is pretty good phone, but it is really slow compared to Gnex... also you get pretty lame updates compared to Gnex. Gnex just brings more to the table if you ask me

I'm not too worried about updates. It'll at least see jellybean. But the speed worries me. I've seen Antutu bench scores in the mid 6000s. Thats on stock ICS. I know numbers don't matter but the gnex is around the same in numbers. Does the droid just have more menue lag or something?

I personally doubt that it's gonna get a jelly bean update... also razr is just had more "android lag" even with ics update... I just don't think you will get a lot from the trade, that is all. Of course, choice is yours

Its got the exact same internals as the nexus. Think the motoblur will be the factor in no jellybean?

Motoblur is definitely going to be the factor. It's going to take Motorola ages to push out Jelly Bean for it and that's if they even decide to at all.
Well it took Samsung and Motorola similar times to push ICS to the gs2 and the RAZR. But Motorola gets worse rep than Samsung. :/ why's that?

You guys think the S3 was a bad choice for me? I've always been about pure android, Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus. Screen cracked on the Nexus so I "upgraded" to an S3. It's really quick but kinda laggy. Galaxy Nexus was definitely quicker and now there's rumors of the new Nexus coming out around November/December which I'll wanna get. You guys think the S3 was a bad choice getting it at this time? Do you want the new Nexus or like Nexus better?
I could always sell my S3 when it comes out and buy the Nexus, if the S3 is still worth something in December.

The s3 will still be worth something in December. I understand your wanting a pure android experience.... But "quick but laggy", which is it?? I've had no complaints but everyone wants different things out of their devices.... If you are not happy with it, sell it and buy the nexus.
What's wrong with aosp?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I honestly don't think an LG Nexus is going to be that amazing. I've never been impressed by any of LGs phones.
Also, just install any AOSP ROM and you days of lag will be no more.

After using Touchwiz for 2 months with ICS, it got boring because it lags. I flashed ParanoidAndroid and it's very fast.

Ya maybe the JB update will fix it. I'll probably get the new Nexus still though. I love pure Google Android.

Own a nexus and it is no way smoother than the gs3. But if you want aosp just install aokp,cm10 or paranoiddroid. All of which work great on the gs3.
Touchwiz does get clunky after adding all my widgets but nova prime on stock with touchwiz icons worked well for me too.. currently though aokp is going solid.

Ya I get this response a lot. I had the gnex, gf now has it and multi tasking was smoother, YouTube was a lot smoother. Watching YouTube on my S3 and pulling my notification bar down it is pretty clunky. I don't want to run custom anymore.

Lol you're in the wrong place if you won't want to run custom roms. As for the next nexus, I don't think lg is going to be able to pull anything off amazing. If Sony makes a galaxy nexus then maybe we'll talk!

I'm in the same boat with you. I think this device will really shine with jelly bean tho. I'd only switch if the nexus was a crazy camera. I don't game so quad core stuff doesn't sway me much

I used to think TouchWiz should be fast because it's the stock launcher. Nope. Even a few widgets slowed it down; Nova is my default and I am a happy camper again...

Oh, right; sorry I missed that. Yeah, my notification bar lags when I'm watching a YouTube video, too! Never had occasion to bring it down before there....
I think the JB OTA will solidify the GS3. I'm a little hesitant to run custom, too. I mean, they're called nightlies for a reason. If there was ever a bleeding edge, they are it.

Ya the lag isn't to big of a concern cause I think JB will really spice this phone up. I do t wanna run custom, I don't have the time to flash everyday anymore and keep up. And my laptop is broken rn
I'll still probably get the newest nexus though, if it has the rumored update and isn't made by LG.
Sent from my SGH-I747M using Tapatalk 2
I have both a nexus with custom JB and I have my S3 back to Triune2 ICS. I tested JB roms on the S3 and they ARE noticeably smoother! Also nova Prime is definitely a better experience than stock JB launcher on nexus (especially if you take advantage of the swipe gestures).
If you want to check where the difference in horsepower lies, load a fancy live wallpaper such as ocean HD (it was 25c a few days ago), it runs like butter on the S3 but the nexus struggles with it!
If yes, please state your reasons of moving to S3.
Let's share our knowledge.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
