Hey guys just picked up my galaxy s3 yesterday from Att. I traded my gnex and got $120 towards a new upgrade so I only paid $80 for the gs3. As soon as i got it I rooted and installed a custom ROM hahaha . I used a stock ROM because I like the motion features in touchwiz i( I wish cm10 or mui would incorporate this into the ROMs). Anyway I could've gotten a nexus 4 and saved my upgrade but I really need an lte device because my tf700 does not have mobile connection ( so I tether ). I go to school in Pittsburgh we have great lte speeds here !!! Also I'm only interested in the software of the nexus 4 ..I think gs3 hardware is good . Dualcore 1.5 is good enough for a phone ..quad core is just for bragging rights no?
So far so good I love the camera ...I feel a noticeable speed difference ( gs3 is a lot faster than gnex)

Hey man! Welcome! The AT&T Galaxy S III is a great device. We've got great dev support that will have every new update rooted and with an awesome rom before you can before you can ask. There will most likely be support for our phone for years and years.
Welcome!

Good choice :good:. If your really want to see the SIII run fast try out Task650 and Ktoonsez AOKP ROM along with Ktoonsez kernal ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766684 )
Hey man welcome.
All I can say is that you will live the development here. There are countless roms for the s3. And if you're having trouble deciding get the best of all worlds with paranoidKANGdroid.

I just saw the gs4 google edition and really it took my heart
I was wondering if there is a rom that can change my note 2 to be a note 2 google edition?

That would be really nice to have a Note 2 Google Edition. Been searching on google about it but no luck so far.

CM 10.1 Nightly is probably as close as we will get.
it would be nice to have a note2 GE, but I think we never will see google delivering a GE rom for an old device.
note2 sports pen functions, not a good idea to loose s-pen with a rom not supporting it.
Even if I love google experience, and I personally own a gnex as second phone, I love my note2 as it is, since it's not laggy and works like a virgin nexus.
CM10 is wot u can get to make note2 close to GE

Half of the s-pen functions work on aosp roms.. And apps like gmd spen can even expand that more.

with the note 3 coming soon, I don't see why they'd release a note 2 GE. It doesn't really make sense
Yeah I guess so too

I doubt they'd release a Google edition of something with an exynos chipset.

Hey guys I'm getting a new device in a few months. And my choice is weather the nexus 4 or the galaxy s4. So I'm wondering would you reccomend the s4 and if possible tell me some of the features you like about it. Even though I'll be building/flashing custom ROMs/kernel on what ever device I get I would still like to know some of the features you guys like so I can decide on which device to get
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda app-developers app
Tough to answer right now, in the next few months a few more new phones should be out. The Note 3, the nexus 5, the Moto X, maybe the LG G2, who knows what else...
Today? If your looking for the most powerful device in TMo's current lineup, price be damned, then the S4. If your on a budget, the Nexus 4 is just fine.
Note 3. I'll be getting it when it comes out and keeping my s4

Price doesn't matter much. Because my dad told me if I get good grade after my first trimester back at school he will buy me any phone I want. Since every one else in my family upgraded and I'm stuck with my olld sgs vibrant. And if the new nexus is out by then than I'll problebly get that bit I've been lookin at the s4 and the n4
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda app-developers app
S4 because it can be a higher powered nexus device if you want it to me. I converted my s4 to a s4 Google play edition and I'm on 4.3 and will get updates just as nexus devices do...

Get the nexus 4 or wait two months and get the 5. I like the s4, but I don't use most of its features. I really love the screen tough.

Am I the only one that is dumping the S4 in favor of the lag free nexus 4?
ahhhhhh, I can't feel better knowing that I'm going back to the nexus 4 after having to deal with the lag issues that the S4 has.
There is no lag here...try a different rom...on the custom roms...lag is gone...but you are moving along so never mind.
Running Alpha Infamous, with BioShock kernel, and Comadose tweak. No lag, and better battery then I ever saw on my Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4

Well, the N4 did just drop $100 so its a good time to change if your going to. But im running the GE 4.3 rom and its absolutely lag free.
Most of my complaints stem from the animation transitions...you can definitely see some type of stuttering. It happens more frequently when the phone dims its lcd brightness.

I do see some type of lag during some transitions but nothing to switch phones over ... I had the nexus and yes it was no lag at all but s4 to me was way better than the nexus.... I also did flash a 4.3 ROM and it was just as smooth as nexus ..zero lag but had to go back to tw for the camera .... But good luck to you sir :thumbup:
Nope,
No sd card and non removable = fail to me.
But I am thinking of upgrading to the note.

I'm thinking of upgrading to the note 3 once it gets released on T-Mobile too. To be honest I was a little disappointed with the s4. Not too much to go back to the nexus 4. But a little disappointed.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I just made the switch to T-Mobile and bought the S4. It's still getting delivered lol But the Nexus 4 @ 200 bucks OFF contract is an excellent deal. You can't beat that.
Again maybe it's just me, but I don't have any of the lag that I keep seeing people post about. (knock on wood) Now my OG Note was laggy as all get out. FWIW I don't use the TW launcher I swapped out to Nova after 1 day, but even with TW it didn't lag I just didn't like the look. In my experience having too many widgets seemed to cause lag, especially those that auto update, removing most of them helped somewhat with the Note
I've been tinkering with the idea of the Note 3, but really I don't want to go any bigger. Besides in a few more months something else may catch my eye, thanks to JUMP I can get it if does.

Access developer options and turn off all animation scales and then disable S-Voice. Problem solved.

Just did but.... The phone should be able to have smooth animations with no stutter. That's what bothers me. The phone is way more capable than the n4 but yet fails to deliver in that aspect.
I like the camera, the fact that you can remove the battery and can install an SD card. It's really a shame IMHO.

No lag here, I am going to second that and say running the Alpha ROM I am getting the best battery life over any previous device owned. Enjoy your new Nexus 4 for the second time around.
Just wait for the Nexus 4 2 or Nexus 5, whatever it is called.

You can tweak or flash your phone. New updates will improve it. If you want to go back, fair enough.

Why dont you just flash a GE or AOSP rom?? I'm sure you're gonna end up flashing an Aosp rom on your nexus anyways...
Like it has been said previously, just flash a Google Edition Rom (it's going to end up just like a Nexus 4): I did it and there's no turning back for me, the phone feels so much faster now... I do sorely miss the TW camera, but I use other features a lot more that depend on speed, plus I need to access some stuff (usually medical stuff) relatively quick, so I couldn't handle the lag.
People who claim lag don't know what they're doing. Please talk about your Nexus 4 on its respected forum.

I have been waiting for 6 months now, I have barely seen any progress in the field of note android dev.
I had a galaxy s, the first samsung google phone, it had so many ROMs to try and now I am addicted to that but with nothing happening in note 3 world I am very disappointed.

I know what your saying. I noticed this a few months ago when I got the Note 3 and passed it off as being a rather new device. That there wouldn't be much yet.
I think that the Xposed Framework has dimmed or killed demand of fresh roms.
That's just my opinion of course!

Your kidding right?

Um you do know there are roms in the international forums?

Most of the roms are pretty damn reliable. No need to flash much when what you're on ruining great. We got a tweaked alpha that runs better than most full roms.

There's plenty for the Note 3.
If you think the Note 3 is bad, check out the Galaxy Tab Pro section.

First off - years ago there were not 5 flagship phones released from different manufacturers almost simultaneously.
Second - there was not as tight security on these devices making it more and more work for the developers
Third - Threads like this do not help development in any way. There is XDA-University and lots of threads that will help you modify your own device and possibly to create a ROM and start developing yourself.
XDA is a development site made by developers for developers, not a place where you get tons of free stuff to make your phone cool and whine about it when there is not enough free stuff made at great cost to developers personal and family time.
