Nexus S VS SGS for CM7/MIUI

If anyone has experience with both devices on MIUI and/or CM7 could you share the difference between them? Im weighing whether Nexus S is a worthy upgrade so any input would be appreciated
Btw im not considering SGS2 because of no voodoo sound

Good thread, I was actually wondering the same thing (not after upgrading).
I know that for Vodafone AU the Galaxy is maybe a better device. The Nexus S here does not have the Amoled screen and also does not have the external SD (which I don't use myself).
I had a quick go at the stock 2.3.4 on a Nexus S and it is definately laggy compared to my CM7 with launcherpro. I cannot say if it is the combination as I would like to see CM7 with LP on the nexus S.
I find Miui laggy on the Galaxy when it comes to the menus in the settings. I am not sure if it is better on the Nexus S as they have access to full sources AFAIK.

If external SD is important then its pretty easy which one you should get.
With Nexus S you will get latest updates from Google (which again might not be necessary if you are staying with CM7).
SGS just got merged in mainline for CM7 so now we get nightlies everyday. From my personal experience, there is 0! ZERO! lag with CM7 and only a few quirky bugs.
Also wouldn't the SGS be much cheaper than the Nexus S? Especially for the AMOLED screen version of the Nexus?
Therefore I suggest SGS imo.

If you use CM7 ... SGS is probably the best choice.

I agree with the consensus....if you are planning on using CM7 or MIUI then that nullifies the advantages the Nexus S has as a "flagship" (early updates from google, etc).
In terms of sheer hardware then, the AMOLED and the external SD make the Galaxy a clear winner over the Nexus S.

Nexus S camera sucks. I moved to Nexus S but gladly back to Galaxy S. No 720p recording, no SAMOLED, no gorilla glass, no SD slot, no radio, poor speakers, no TV out - Nexus S is actually a downgrade if you ask me.
I love Galaxy S. I just wish it had a body of Omnia 7 and a dual LED flash.

No GorillaGlass in Nexus S is very strong "NO" for buying the device.
Maybe a few bonuses in Nexus, but really? You wanna have micro (and not only) scratches after month of using the phone? I know what happened with my Xperia after three months of daily using... :/

All the replies are very interesting.
Not many people seems to say but despite not using samsung roms recently i think having them as options are a bonus as well.
I totally agree with the omnia 7 build quality. If there was one thing that i didnt fancy about my SGS it would be the extreme lightness and build quality. I mean i prefer light to heavy but SGS feels a tad too light
For noobs like me download mode is life saver lol
EDIT does anyone know the reason to lag in MIUI settings?
Btw there are few combination of kernel rom and radio which almost removes the lag

I am going to speculate without even knowing why but my theory is that Miui uses non standard menu options. Also on a Miui Rom the actual values of the different options are on the main screen (not sure if that makes sens).
If you use an application like GPS test for example, when you go to the menu, you actually can see what the values are set to before you even click on the different options. It is nice to see this but Miui problem in my opinion is that it lags in these settings menus and maybe that's the reason .
Your title did ask about (CM7/Miui) so nearly all the extras don't work anyway (video calling, FM radio...etc). I am sure they will work at some stage as I saw codeworkx started doing some changes for the radio.

I did not know the handset did not have the Gorilla glass either so in my opinion apart the actual flash everything else is a downgrade.

Upgrade from galaxy ace to x10?

Hello ,
I have a galaxy ace. Due to its low dev support i am considering of moving to x10. Would it be a good change? And can you let me know about the problems with x10 whici i should keep in mind when upgrading??
Sent from my Galaxy ace using Tapatalk

Dual-touch fails, but SE Brazil said we'll get 4 points multitouch with Gingerbread update just like on the Arc etc...

If you can find a cheap x10 say for about £100 or less then go for it. It will soon be upgraded to gingerbread and is a superior phone to the ace by far.
With respect to it's negative points, low in call volume, no true multi touch, 65k colors, very laggy at times, below average RAM when compared to other phones in it's class. With any luck some of these negatives will at least be improved if not fully addressed with the upcoming update.

Well mine is ****ing crap. I can barely hear anything when outside or in a crowded environment. It's a complaint many x10 users have expressed and by now it should be clear to all that it's a real problem even if you are one of the lucky ones who don't have this problem.

The buggy dual touch is my one real complaint since I like to play games.. New custom kernels have made the in call volume better.
Another thing is there isn't much of a dev community at all, so don't expect to do much modding compared to other android phones.
Only get it if it's really cheap imo... Though with the update coming, who knows it might go from an ok phone to a good one?

I never had low incall volume My carrier is rogers and this is my 3rd x10 i think it depends where you guys located at..

Uhm, x10 has much development compared to some other (similair/bootloader unlocked) devices

Is there working 2.3 rom for x10? What about custom roms??

go look at other forums on here,
Even much older android phones.
The development here is nothing compared to almost all other android phones.
I'm not saying that is a huge issue, especially considering most end users don't care about this. It is definitely the truth though. Even ask devs on here their opinion on this. Our community is not nearly as active as most other androids

For how much are you guys waiting? So far multi touch not working at all?
I bought galaxy ace for around 270 dollars. Should exchange with a used x10?

It works great for pinch zooming, but will be better with GB update. But it isn't officially confirmed on their blog.

Don't know where, but SE said the X10 will just get 2.3.3 and not 16 million colors or 4 finger mt.

the battery life is decent, typical for a smartphone lasts about a day.
You can run hd games, but only on custom roms as far as i know.
With the dual touch bug, many of them are painful to try and play too.
I'm using wolfbreak's rom, and there have only been 1 or 2 gameloft games I couldn't find versions of to work

[Q] Is this the best phone for 400€?

As the topic title says, i'm looking for a new phone to replace my boring xperia s (bootloader loocked...) and the maximum i wanna spend is 400€. So,for this money the oppo find 5 is the best option? The feature that i most apreciate is taking photos, and my xperia s do it very well...
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app

The camera is OK but nothing amazing in my experience which is fine for me and Faux kernel has done wonders my battery life (+30-40%). Not sure the camera can compare to the Xperia.
Despite those niggles, I'd recommend the F5 above others to friends if asked but it depends on your needs. I certainly prefer it over the Note 2 and Nexus 4. For me is the sweet spot between size, screen, performance and design.
What else is on your short list?
-- From my Find 5

Exactly the switch I made XS->Find5. I thought about getting the HTC One or the S4, but since I planned on running a custom ROM, I didn't want to pay for features I wouldn't use anyway.
Regrets? No. The Find5 has a Sony Sensor as camera, AFAIK the same as in the XZ. On stock ROM, the cam is pretty good, not so much on custom ROMs, though, usual closed source binary blob problems.

Hi!
If you are looking a brand new one, maybe this is the one with best camera for this price (I dont know anything about Nokia and WP) you can buy for that amount.
If you dont mind, maybe you can take a Xperia Z (same sensor, but better app) in the second market.
P.S: Yes, this is my first post in about 3 years LOL! (I prefer reading)

at the beggining i was thinking about xperia z (i'm a huge fan of the xperia line) or htc one (i don't like the samsung plastic), but i reconsidered that ... 550€ or more for a phone? i think it´s to much, so i stablished the 400€ limit, and for that money, and new phones (not used) i'm in between nexus 4 or the oppo find 5 ( i believe they are the only with superb specs and not so expensive phones ). But the nexus 4 is 4.7 inch screen, and an 8mp camera ( but i guess the 8mp i just a number).
3 things that i consider in a phone : camera; battery; development.
So, what you guys say?

If camera is a priority then you may be better looking elsewhere.
The Find 5 camera is OK in good light but struggles otherwise. My wife has a Nexus 4 and I don't rate that camera either.

I agree the Oppo is nothing to get mad excited about. The camera is very noisy. Actually in HDR mode my pictures on the Nexus 4 turned out way better!

I too am interested in this phone, one of my main concerns is battery life.
When you say you have about 30-40% more battery life, how many screen on time are you talking about? 5-6 hours?
Thank you.

Well you can forget the Stock firmware even with fauxes Kernel it will suck you dry. The best experience as far as battery life i had so far was with Cyanogenmod. Even so it is not running an optimized Kernel it seems to handle power mangement way better!
5-6 hours screen on is way over what you will be able to achieve with normal day 2 day use. For sure you will max out at the moment at 4 hours screen on time.
If you are looking for a new phone with lot's of battery life i would hold of another 1-2 month and see what others have to offer because Oppo didn't even release 4.2 yet but they are planning on in early August. Until then don't bother!

so, in conclusion, despite the problems with the camera ( which i think it's a software problem, not hardware ) for 400€, and with a custom rom, the oppo it's the best phone on the market?

stock camera and stock rom only thing i've done is root and kill the stock launcher, thats it no editing on those either straight out of the phone in full res.

Sorry just saw this... I've tried most of the stock/beta ROMs and as a light to moderate user, it lasts me about 24-36 hours. Without faux kernel I would get around 3 to 3.5 hours screen on (email, twitter, browser, Tapatalk, watching a TV show, taking pics/video and a few calls).
With faux setup for battery life, I can get 4.5 to 5 hours doing the same stuff and there isn't really a performance hit as I'm not doing much needing the phone to run at full speed for long.
It was really the idle drain that was killing it at around ~1.5%-2% per hour rather than ~0.8% with faux. Usually, I'm on wifi and have GPS on and leave them on when sleeping so it was overnight that saw a big improvement.

Yeah I used Stock to for a while and when you do close ups the camera makes some pretty nice pictures. But as soon as contrasts aren't really there anymore it gets potentially noisy.
I mean how much can you really expect from a smartphone camera sensor without any optics to adjust depth.
Your pictures are nice. I made some nice ones myself but they don't measure up to HTC One's Ultrapixel contrast and light condition abilities.
Funny part about all of this is probably that drivers neither on Stock or Custom are really optimized.
I do though still think the state the phone is in right now it is not worth it. Neither Stock Software nor Custom give you a really great experience with the device right now.

After trying numerous stock and custom ROM/kernel combinations, I have to disagree. Last week's Chinese Firefly is, IMO, very usable in terms of performance, battery life, and reliability.

Anyone came from a Nexus 4?

Guys Im considiring to sell my Nexus 4 to get a G2. So anyone who changed from a Nexus 4,can help me with Question
What I love about my Nexus 4:
Great Performance and no Lag on Kitkat
Good Display
What I dislike
Battery
Camera
Anyone who changed might post a quick review thanks

You should update to G2.Great battery, great camera,great performance and awesome screen .If you whant to be lag free on G2, just instal custom rom but the phone is snapy even without it.N4 was great but G2 is just awesome!Go for it.
LG P 350=>LG OPTIMUS 3D=>LG NEXUS 4=>LG G2

I do. Battery here on G2 is great i give the n4 to my GF and with kitkat i see an improvement on battery life but the G2 can give me with g.lewarne rom and kernel great battery life and performance no lag at all...
6h SOT on the G2 my GF can touch 4h wich is great also on stock.
Display is great brighter color vibrant very impressive.
So i miss the n4? No i love the battery the display and the look of this phone if you want kitkat soon we have cm11, but with the stock rom and some mod i dont need ART performance increase of kitkat and i can wait a bug free cm11.
For the camera i dont use it so much buf for what I can see is very very good also in the dark.
Thats my opinion obviously and i have to say sorry for my english also XD

In my opinion, especially on aosp the camera is horrible, but battery life and screen are pretty good. Can't say about kitkat as PA still haven't pie and halo (or at least a couple weeks back when I had still working display -_-) so I've only tried it shortly.

Horrible camera?Can you be more specific?Because N4 has a average camera and switching to G2 for me was huge difference.
Don't want to make a argue but you have a lot reviews that are saying the same thing as i so can you be specific about camera thing(picture quality. ..)?

Well I had the N4....
G2 has a working USB OTG OOTB no power supply needed.
Much better display, no washed out colors, no blue hue..... N4 looks like 10 gens behind. and ofc higher resolution...higher PPI.
Faster proc
Some things you might try out, remote and etc.
Better battery
Much better camera
(But the earpiece bug is there... the static, noise, whilst call or screen off.)
LG G2 is for sure an upgrade. Depends on you though . N4 as it is can be a strong phone for at least 2 more years.
If you are happy with the N4, then its not worth the switch. Wait till the N4 battery starts to die off faster due to usage and then think of an upgrade. Or till google stops updating it officialy.
but if you have the money and you do not know what to do with it. Wait till the Z1S arrives . Might be a killer phone. As of now though. Excluding the bug the LG G2 might be the best whats out there. (I dislike AMOLED strongly, so I am not even considering Samsung) And Oppo slower proc....

Shouid i get a oneplus 2 or a galaxy note 4?

Which one is more future proof until 2017? i'm kinda having trouble picking between these phones. i love stock android but i hate touch-wiz, also i keep hearing stories on how bad the oneplus 2 is. is it really that bad? which phone do you guys recommend?

Go for oneplus2! I love mine. The software is almost like on nexus devices. Pure Android with no bloat.

Is their any advantages over the note 4 the oneplus 2 has?

You'll hate the fingerprint on note 4 . Trust me . Note screen is better , but we can adjust our screen with kcal. Etc etc. Main thin is fingerprint sensor. Which in note 4 you have to turn the sceen on and swipe , and it's just only placing on sensor any time ( screen off ) to unlock in oneplus 2.

It used to get more than just being warm when i used to play PoGo.
If you play heavy 3d games well then it will even heat up more.
It is mostly due to bad software + the failure 810sd.
Using custom roms helps sometimes but still it gets more than warm.
And lol battery backup is too bad,especially the idle time.

Having just moved from the Note 4 to the OP2... I wouldn't go back. OP2 isn't the perfect phone but if you want a stock feel, it's great. Camera is great. Battery has been good for me on OOS 3.1.0. Really no complaints. Miss turbo charging but that's it. Phone feels great in hand too.

Not by much.
I have put up a rubber cover just because when the device do heats up the metal portion stings at your hand.
And seriously if you wanna buy OP product then better buy OP3, op2 sucks big time. Just think logically that the op company itself do not properly support op2 but will give proper dev support to opo and op3 that itself means they themselves lost all hope on op2.

does it heats up very fast when playing gps based games like PoGo or Ingress?

200-280 is my budget.

I have both. I have to say Note 4 is kinda premium and SAMOLED screen is too good, specially in direct sunlight. Oneplus2 is snappier than Note 4. You'll love the fast charging in N4 as much as you'll hate the slow charging in OPT. S-pen is handy feature. Samsung is still providing monthly security updates to 2yo N4 however it won't get Nougat, OPT was recently updated after 4 months with latest security patch and will also get android 7.
OPT has excellent dev support, Note 4 has none whatsoever. If you love flashing, then buying n4 will be like suicide.
Camera is good on both phones, speaker is decent.
Choose wisely!
