Essential Official Android Thread

[Demonic Jenkins]

Everything is working for me with no bugs. My screen is bigger and looks good outside. Cm 10 and the other hybrid ROMs are better than stock. There's waaaaaay more customization How they make a phone with only 4gb accessible memory with no sdcard slot? fukk that cloud shyt, good luck streaming a 4gb movie esp with data caps and throttling What you gonna do on an airplane?

This gs3 screen is very hard to look at outside on sunny days...you ain't the only one that owned a gs3 breh.

The latest official stock android is the smoothest/fastest I've ever seen android...shyt is on a different level for real. I loved my gs3 but performance wise the nexus 4 got it beat.

Only thing I miss is being able to put an extended battery in my phone like I had in my gs3 (had a 4200mah battery that lasted for an eternity).

Gs3 battery is slightly better, IMO. But in no way the n4 battery is bad, I still get a full day. But on another note..Google now.....

shyt is GOAT, I didn't even ask for all that info.

Apple iphone convert here...love my S3...but im brand new to this sh!t..can anyone tell me if rooting a device it worth it?...is it the equivalent of jailbreakin an iphone?

It really depends on what you want to do.

Its not the equivalent of jailbreaking an iPhone mostly due to the fact that Android does not have many of those restrictions iOS has even on stock.

Like everyone has been saying, depending on what features you need out of your phone Rooting may not be necessarily. If you want the stock Android look and customization just throw either Apex launcher or Nova launcher on it. I have an Optimus G which shares the same hardware as the Nexus 4 and after throwing a launcher on it has the look too.

I guess if you don't need more memory then its cool, but I dont have an ipod ( ) so all my music is on my memory card. I have true unlimited on tmobb but i'm not about to pay a monthly fee for cloud storage, shyt when my free 50 gig dropbox is up in a year i'm canceling that shyt. Hopefully the next Nexus is not on some budget friendly shyt & has a sd card slot so I can , if not then its GS4.

If you came from the gs3 you should have claimed that free 50 gb dropbox bruh.

How the he'll you get 50gig with drop Box

comes with certain phones on certain companies. I think I got mines when I got either the ONE X or GS3.

If you have a gs3 when u first set it up I think they as you if you want or have a drop box, sign up or sign in and then they email you something.

n4 havent lag once. Some of the in app performance is poor because of the app itself

For example...compare "the verge" app to the "Engadget" app...verge smooth as butter....Engadget choppy on ANY phone Smh.

The Verge app is what every app should aim for. The smoothness and transition is

Google currents, The verge app, and pocket are the smoothest app on android

I wish every app was as smooth....I know the verge app costed 70k
